Just paid my very last credit card payment for some lenses and camera gear that I bought during the last WSOP.
Debt free is a good feeling.
On my way to the camera store now!
If you win an online bracelet this summer and want a winner's photoshoot on the WSOP stage with your hardware, you friends, your partner, etc please don't hesitate to reach out to me and we can set it up for you! 🤘🏻
My dad is coming to Vegas in a few days. He knows nothing about gambling, poker, or the industry that I’ve been a part of for almost 10 years.
He hasn’t even been to Vegas in almost 2 decades and I can’t wait to show him his very first…

After I had my most winning day of poker ever, I called my old high school journalism teacher and told him that I was donating some money to the department in the form of either DSLR cameras with lenses or new computers, his choice. He chose the computers since they hadn’t been…

This has been such a great summer at the WSOP. It’s been so enjoyable to be a part of, and document moments throughout. 7 years of covering tournaments from $200 buy-in’s in the Midwest to today’s historic Main Event day and I’m still so jazzed to be a part of it all! 📸 GL all!

To someone that has given so much to this community, I would love to see him get recognized. I know there are a lot of standout names but if you have the ability to vote this year for the Global Poker Awards, give Tana some consideration for Industry Person of the Year.
95% of my tweets are dedicated to poker, promoting poker events, tweeting about poker things.
I moved into a new apartment a couple months ago so here’s something the other 5%, a little non-poker thread pertaining to my new place and some little things that I enjoy in it:

Really love the culture and environment that Brad, Andrew, and Doug have created down there.
Staff and venue are top notch and so is the poker action. If you’ve never been it’s 100% worth a trip 🤠

Thanks so much for the opportunity, Nadya. I don’t get to play tournaments often, let alone ones over $1,000. If I make any sort of noise in the event I will absolutely be paying it forward ❤️

Rachel and I have started a thing where we bet each other $20 to do stupid things, and it’s turning into us passing around the same $20 over and over again. In other news I just had to grocery shop while wearing a bath robe
Every summer during WSOP my mom comes to see me for my birthday. She truly plans her entire year around this 3-4 day trip and often will bring it up months in advance how excited she is for it. This year I’m bringing her to San Diego (she’s never been to California before)
My dad FaceTimed me today from his farm and it got me feeling a little homesick. Never realized how much I appreciated fields of green grass and midwest humidity until being trapped in a desert for 2.5 months
Hey
@DSCasinoResort
! It’s been awhile. Let’s play some poker!
Tonight at 7PM is the
@RGPokerSeries
opening night bounty! $160 buy-in with mystery prizes. Reg opens at 6 and you’ll want to be ready because we expect a FULL house tonight. See you here!
Can’t believe that we’re already onto Generation 6 of RunGood rings! We started these back in 2019 from a company local to my hometown.
My favorite part about creating these is ensuring that every season’s looks different. So excited to share the Spring 2024 design soon! 💍🤫🧊
Been a long stretch of being on the road since October. Be lying if I said I wasn’t a little burnt out. One more day to go tomorrow before a couple more days on the road to see these two 🫶
Happy birthday to the most enthusiastic poker reporter in the history of poker reporting. This guy will tell you who busted in 7th place in the 1997 WSOP Main Event off the top of his head. You’re a true gem

Spent 40 of the last 72 hours driving the RG truck and trailer combo cross country from San Fran to Cleveland. The trailer came unhitched while I was driving on the interstate, but somehow still made it in one piece
