The monologue starting at 32:00 and going into Day 5 was such a powerful sequence. I rewatched it numerous times. That part where the music swells at the end was pure gold. Congrats, Brad!
I did the same thing. I'm currently on a 7 buy-in downswing getting crushed left right and center, it was very helpful for me to hear this too. I replayed it numerous times...
Especially the part about driving home from the casino frustrated and near tears wondering if all the time you put into poker was ever gonna be worth it. Every poker player goes through this and needs to hear it.
This is a special episode Brad. I hope you're really proud of it. The memories of your dad strike such a strong chord. He's definitely watching over you buddy.
You really got me when you mentioned your dad helping you thru. I was saying. K K K K K K...on that last card. Great story. $400 short but $1M of experience gained.
You talking about your dad made me tear up a little, he would be proud Brad. I'm finally starting to show my dad what I'm capable of and I'm so thankful he's sticking around long enough to see it. Congrats on the score
I went from crying when the KK lost to laughing when he is trying to grab all of that cash with one hand while holding the camera. This episode was closer to a movie with all of the emotion and excitement. Keep rollin Brad!
So i didn't know the outcome, and i have to say this was probably the most enjoyable and entertaining video i ever watched on RUclips. As a Brad fan, i was nervous watching every hand! Well done Brad, your fans appreciate your play and posts and wish you continued success in the future.
Wow, that's as nice of a compliment as it gets and I appreciate it. The tournament was obviously very special for me; I had a lot of anxiety thinking about making the videos because it's a big project to show what happened over 5 days of playing. There were so many interesting moments along the way, not just with the poker but with the interactions with everyone as well. I'm really happy with how it came out and I'm glad that you and others are enjoying it and appreciate the effort. Thank you very much Steven.
When I look back at the start of where you come from brad to the moment where you are @ right now.. you can't deny we as your fans and support are incredibly proud and stoked of how far you have come. This is a fcking great achievement.!!! So stoked for you!! The sky is the limit.. !!!
Steven Couldn’t say it any better. I didn’t know the outcome as was on the edge of my seat every hand. Could tell my the timeline it wasn’t going to be a final table but the first 40 minutes was epic. A sick way to go out but as Brad acknowledged, he caught a few breaks to get that far. A total gentleman and his interview response was exactly what was called for. 6 of 9 big entries cashed and people think he is going to do poorly. That 6 figure cash is going to happen. It’s just a matter of time.
Well done Brad, I couldn't be happier and your dad would be proud. Your words prior to your final day were inspirational. I'm running incredibly bad lately and your words came at a great time. Your a great player and a gentleman 👏
When I started playing poker nearly 20 years ago Chris Moneymaker was the ambassador of poker. Today it's Brad Owen. Very glad to have played a very brief session with you once. Highlight of my poker career. Best of luck my friend!
I teared up when KK went down in flames. You have both my condolences on that particular loss, and my Congratulations on the deep run, Brad. I've been watching since your 1-2/1-3 days and am so proud of your growth. I'm certain that your Dad was there, and is bragging about his son to everyone in Heaven right now. As the journey continues, I wish you all the best. I'm an American expat that lived my whole life in San Jose and Los Gatos and called Vegas my second home up until 2018. I met my wife (A dealer, of course) in 2005 at The Venetian. Make a trip to St Maarten, relax on an amazing beach, play some poker and be our guest for dinner anytime.
@@patrickbarry633 what??? It’s totally normal to show emotion for other people. Not just your own circumstances and life. I got emotional during this video as well when Brad started talking about the losing hand. I could hear the emotion in his voice and I knew which hand this had to be. What’s wrong with feeling emotional for somebody else? Sounds like a good thing to me
@@counterfeit4450 It's good to share laughter with others and cry with others for others, we're emotional beings created in the image of God! A strong soul shows emotion, it takes courage to do that! Anyway God bless you in Jesus name Amen ❤️ You're special don't ever forget that you are treasure! Heaven is like a a man who buried treasure in a field and payed the highest price to buy that field for the treasure that he hid in it! The man is Jesus Christ, the field is the earth, The highest price was His life The treasure!!!! IS YOU ❤️
That was awesome to watch. That last hand was tough.. the longer you waited the more I felt aces and might've folded there.. and then you end up making the right call..yet that's poker. You really do need a lot of luck. You busted out on skill and made it all the way there on luck.
Congrats dude, I gotta feeling your big score is still coming! The work you put in is undeniable. You're a great ambassador for the game, and proof that hard work and dedication pays off in the long run! Keep on keeping on my dude, I love watching the journey
Congratulations, Brad! You've come so far over the years, yet have remained grounded and humble. You're like a friend I've never met. You're a true ambassador for the game and give hope to those of us that will never be able to play the stakes you do. I'm so excited for you. You deserve it!
Thank you for bringing up your dad in this vlog. Lost my pops too and talking about him with my friends let alone strangers is something I've been working on. Great video, great run, what a dad you have.
My heart sank with the ace on the flop in the last hand. Congratulations on the achievment! Also for what its worth, watching the tournament saga unfold was a thriller! Cant wait for the next one!
It’s kind of a strange thing… Following you on RUclips for awhile now, it feels like I’m watching and rooting for someone I truly know throughout this tournament. Man I was cheering for you to make the final table. Great effort, good run, and I can’t wait to watch your career continue to unfold. Congratulations on the win.
Man I’m sorry Brad I understand it’s poker but it really upset me to see that ace. Come on the flop. I’ve watched every vlog you have ever put out. You are are awesome player and I love to watch you play it helps my game tremendously. Good running to you Mr. Brad!!
Congratulations, Brad! I’ve been watching your vlogs from the very beginning and you absolutely deserve every good thing that’s come to you. Honestly, you deserve quite a bit more so I’m hoping a ton of run good comes your way in key spots and you make millions.
Brad, I heard you get choked up when talking about your dad during this video. He is looking over your shoulder and beaming with pride on how well you are doing. Talking from experience, you WILL feel your dad's presence from time to time and this tournament was one of those moments. God Bless and happy to watch your success continue to flourish!
This is the only poker entertainment I consume. I haven't played the game for years but I love the talk through of each play and watching Brad up his game. It's so fun to have no idea where Brad places before watching this.
Brad is one of the nicest guys i’ve ever met. If he says f*** those guys I stand behind that notion. F*** em! If you’re gonna be negative like that you deserve it. Completely unjustified to say that, you’re a champ Brad.
What a rollercoaster of emotions. The ten’s hand vs. kings was absolutely insane. You are the only RUclipsr that I ever engage with, and you are absolutely deserving of all the love and support you get. You are an honest guy, and don’t think I’ve ever cheered harder from my TV.
The minute or so at the 33 minute mark is just awesome. Great storytelling. For anyone who has been a long time poker player we can relate to the pain of the grind. Very happy for you
I told you brad that your time was coming and that ''I could feel it'' like 7 months ago or more in the comment sections and look! just as predicted you got lots of huge runs. In those videos you said how you was very heated that you couldn't do well in tournaments and would get out just before the money and now your a certified crusher! Love to see it, love to see tons of money going to a person that has worked so hard for it as well. Always upholding the RUclips poker community making it better and better content wise and really changed the game in more ways than once. Amazing to see how far you come. Really inspiring to us all.
Brad its been so fun watching you and your channel over the years. We are so proud and honored to be here for the ride. And I know I'm not the only one who screams at my phone whenever you make big plays 😂
You're an absolute legend. What a crusade this tournament has been. Just another stepping stone for you Brad, next ones gonna be even higher, I can just feel it!
Good job saying f*** those guys and shout out to WPT for not getting in your ass about it! You've been killing it here in the last few months! I haven't missed a video of yours in over a year now! Keep it going man!!
You know this is the best channel when I watched the tournament live and know the outcome but I am still super pumped up watching every hand. Amazing work as usual Brad.
A real pleasure to watch you play and listen to your thoughts as you move through your journey. I often think of your Dads smiling face looking over your shoulder. His awesome presence is definitely with you.
Happy for you that you're winning so much recently. Also, I much appreciate that you pump out these vlogs at a steady rate, I'm always excited to see a new one!
Congratulations Brad. I really enjoyed this video series. You are a good story teller in addition to being a terrific poker player. I think that we all enjoy living vicariously through you.
Had the pause the video and 5:02. I'm so happy to hear your successful run so far with WPT! You rock Brad!! Stay in the zone, thanks for everything you have done for the game. Best of luck
If I could feel my own heart pounding out of my chest watching the turn, I can't imagine what you must have been feeling. What a ride. Absolutely legendary. Thanks for letting us take the journey with you. Here's to the next biggest score in 2023!
I've never been so mad to see someone else lose, these tournament vlogs have been amazing was hoping for a big day 5 one. Great run and thanks for the content
Awesome Brad! Never forget that there will always be haters and the haters will ALWAYS be talkin’ whether you’re doing well or not. I’ll be here all year for this continued run good! Much love!
I really didn't think it was possible for a poker video to make me tear up... but here we are! This was an awesome video Brad, thank you for sharing it with us :)
Even though I haven't played poker in 15+ years, I've been watching your vlogs for a while now and I've been throughly enjoying watching you play and improve over the years. By giving tons of insight about things I would have never though about, sprinkling in some witty compentary, it's been a pleasure to watch you rise up higher and higher. Despite how this tournament may have ended, it'll just make the next big payout that much sweeter. Best of luck though, I'll be here for the ride, cheering you on along the way!
Wow brad just wow! I’ve been following since the first episodes. You are so inspirational and an example for people that if you dedicate your whole life for something you’ll get it, in poker and generally in life. I’m sure your father is looking down proud as we all are GG❤
Maaan, what a run. I've don't know if I've ever rooted for myself more (in my little tournaments) as I did for you over the last 3 vlogs. When I checked the time remaining on the video when you picked up the cowboys, I died a little inside haha! You're an inspiration Brad, credit to the game and to simple, nice, people! A bit privileged to be a part of the journey from the early episodes! Onward and upward brother, Mufasa is always watching Simba from above. Love.
I didn’t have to pause the AFC Championship and my team turned out on top yet still a little devastated to see how close you were to your 6 figure payout goal, but man I loved this coverage and I’ve never cheered so loud at a RUclips video before. What a ride!
Brad… this is the first video I have EVER “liked” and commented on… this episode was very emotional for me and I’m so happy for you! I’ve been following for awhile and to see how far you’ve come… it’s amazing. Not only have you motivated me when I was at my lowest of trying to make poker playing “a thing”… you’ve also taught me so much… I feel like a shark at the tables for how long I’ve watched you. Hahaha! Keep up the GREAT work and I can’t wait to see the next big tournament you’re in.
Hey Brad, I know you called it the pinnacle of your poker career, but I believe even greater days are ahead for you! Awesome to watch this story unfold, and looking forward to seeing your name on that trophy!
You are the shining example to anyone thinking they would like to give a Poker career a try. If they treat the game with half the respect as you have done throughout their life, they may just have a chance. I have really enjoyed following you from the $2-$5 streets to the biggest buy-ins in the world. Thanks for all the memories! Keep kicking ass! Good luck!
Been watching your vlog and following you for a couple years now and it’s impressive how far you have come in that time. Wish you had won that bracelet, but don’t worry it’s coming your way soon. Can’t say “Thank You” enough for all the quality content you have provided us along your journey to poker greatness. You’re the Best!
Been following you for years, ive learned a ton personally from watching your break downs. This was both amazing to watch and soul crushing at the same time. Nothing but love to you bro, you deserve every penny. Bigger and better things in the future man, congrats on your biggest pay day so far
Congrats on the deep run. We will all be with you when you reach that goal on the 6 figure score. Heck we will all be with you when you get your name on that trophy. You are one of the reasons that poker is still as big as it is now and I salute you for all your hard work to become the player you have become.
Congrats on getting the results after all the hard work. Amazing video's and what a run, Brad. And more than ever leaving us thrilled at the end of every episode to see the next one!
You play great, are so consistent, and put in such admirable work to produce your vlogs. Even though you didn't go as far as you wanted, you made no mistakes and should be super proud of your tournament play. All 332k of us that watched this are definitely impressed with your results. Thank you for your contributions and get some well deserved rest!
I couldn't help but recognize that ol familiar sound when you were re calling the last hand, that bittersweet emotion that was pouring out of you is the necessary fuel needed to grow to greatness down the road!
Congrats Brad! You’re classy and it’s well deserved. No doubt your pops was with you on this run. Keep grinding can’t wait to watch you top this score this year!
You deserve every bit of your success, Brad. I don’t know you at all but you just seem like a good guy and you have put in the work and work hard to improve your game. Keep on truck in’ man .
Brutal beat but what a freaking run Brad. You once again proved you can surely hold your ground in pretty much any game or stake. Sending some run good from the Netherlands to make 2023 even bigger and better, all the best!
Brad my name is Michael and I'm a 57 year old poker player from Michigan and I just want to tell you what an absolute pleasure it was watching and listening to you through that tournament. I've seen many vlogs and that was the best bar none. Your insight and dissection of the hands were excellent! I felt as if I was there at the tournament following you. It was pins and needles at times. Jesus, I felt like I busted out! I had to get up and walk it off LOL. I'll be at the WSOP with my 3 oldest this year. I'll introduce myself if I see you there (obviously the pleasure would be mine). Looking forward to seeing more from you👍🏻
Congrats on the deep run. Its so nerve wrecking watch every hand and was rooting for the diamond for the last hand! Really enjoy your vlog since the 1st episode. Continue the great work!
Such a gracious player. Brad Owen, you are one hell of a poker player. I am so happy to be there throughout your journey since I think you had about 25-45k subscribers only. One day, I see you winning it all! Keep up the good work. 👏👏👏
Brad, the 12:00 mark was truly from the heart ❤️. You showed your heart toward your father. That dude was your hero.. you're everyone's hero but now we see who your hero is.. your DAD.. You said you weren't very spiritual or religious... But you feel your dad's helping... That makes a Pastor like me very emotional. Appreciate it... I have 2 dad hero's..Dad and Christ... I know how you feel and thanks for taking me to that precious place in my heart
This is so great to see. I remember watching u and Andrew whenever y’all both had less than 5k followers combined lol. Y’all are amazing great to see you 2 crushing it. Living a dream for sure and y’all deserve every bit of it
I’ve been watching your videos for years and was literally throwing tiger woods fist pumps when you won big hands in this video. Such a cool story to see how you went from cash games, to online tourneys in Cabo, to nearly a six figure score!
Very proud of the player you have grown into Brad. I have been watching you since close to the beginning. I am a lot older than you but I love how you break down your play. No one can win all the flips, it’s just poker. Continue and Congratulations
What a run. I groaned out loud when that ace hit the flop. Gutted for you. You should be (and rightly sound) really proud of how you played, behaved and handled victory and defeat. Love the blog Brad. Keep up the great work.
Hey man, we fell in love with the channel and with you for you being you. How you handled that interview is you. WPT signed you because you are where you are for being you. Keep being you and being awesome! Good luck bud!
Brad congrats on the deep run, I have a feeling that 2023 is going to be the year you get your name on the cup. Good luck in everything you do I have been watching your blog for a long time and I know your whole family is proud of what you have accomplished.
I'm at the point in this video where you hit big on the river with a Ten . You made me smile when you talked about your Dad helping you out with this hand. I lost my Dad just before I went to Vietnam and believe me I too know that he helped me survive many battles in the jungle. Believe in him and your going to do fine. I love watching you play and how far you've come in your life. Good Luck my friend and believe in your abilities and most of all believe that your Dad will keep you safe. Now go get em !
Congrats Brad! As a longtime subscriber it’s cool to see how far you’ve came and how much your Vlogs have changed! Keep crushing it! Some of us are living through you.
I know I’m late to the party but Brad I’ve been watching you for a long time and I couldn’t be happier for you. I lost my dad unexpectedly a few months back so I can relate with you brother and I promise he was more then proud on your performance in the tournament. Congratulations again brother!
Dude, I'm a Johnny-come-lately to your vlog, and I'm pulling soooo hard for you to be successful in your career! You're definitely a good Joe, and a credit to the game!
Be proud of how you handled that interview boss. What you said was what anyone with a winning mentality thinks, you just said it 💪
For real. Fuck those guys
Fax never apologize for being hungry
Seriously screw those fools who doubted you. Why give them the time of day.
I did love his reply :)
Sometimes you just have to tell people to get fukd and not be sorry about it
The storytelling over this series was next level Brad. Inspirational stuff. Keep pushing.
Totally agree. Top class!!
That emotional rollercoaster and narration build up for when that 10 hit the river.
I keep coming back to watch them all because they were so well done
The monologue starting at 32:00 and going into Day 5 was such a powerful sequence. I rewatched it numerous times. That part where the music swells at the end was pure gold. Congrats, Brad!

This is a special episode Brad. I hope you're really proud of it. The memories of your dad strike such a strong chord. He's definitely watching over you buddy.
Exactly when I clicked the like button. 🫶🙏
Proud of u Brad, been following for a long time and rlly dope to see u strive
You really got me when you mentioned your dad helping you thru. I was saying. K K K K K K...on that last card. Great story. $400 short but $1M of experience gained.

He IS proud* watching every step of the way
Brad, I'm not a religious person.
Your dad knows, and he's super proud. That's why you're running so well.
Same here man you can hear the emotions when he talks about it and its truly amazing
Thought his dad was watching, but not for spiritual reasons. That leaves but one other "reason."
I had a great relationship with my father to I'm sitting at work watching this I lost my father was my best friend mad respect to you and your dad
I went from crying when the KK lost to laughing when he is trying to grab all of that cash with one hand while holding the camera. This episode was closer to a movie with all of the emotion and excitement. Keep rollin Brad!
Me too. I hope to some day have issues with grabbing all of the stacks of 100 dollar bills.

WAY TO GO, BRAD!!! I've been following you for a while and taken some of your pointers to advance my game - keep it going!!! Lead the way.
You know this is the best channel when I watched the tournament live and know the outcome but I am still super pumped up watching every hand. Amazing work as usual Brad.
GREAT JOB BRAD. I've said it before, your instincts, intuition, and style of play are perfectly "suited" for tournaments. Keep up the great work.
A real pleasure to watch you play and listen to your thoughts as you move through your journey. I often think of your Dads smiling face looking over your shoulder. His awesome presence is definitely with you.
Happy for you that you're winning so much recently.
Also, I much appreciate that you pump out these vlogs at a steady rate, I'm always excited to see a new one!
Congratulations Brad. I really enjoyed this video series. You are a good story teller in addition to being a terrific poker player. I think that we all enjoy living vicariously through you.
Been following you for years. Love how genuine you are in general. This one went even deeper. Absolutely love your authenticity. Go Brad
Had the pause the video and 5:02.
I'm so happy to hear your successful run so far with WPT!
You rock Brad!!
Stay in the zone, thanks for everything you have done for the game. Best of luck
If I could feel my own heart pounding out of my chest watching the turn, I can't imagine what you must have been feeling. What a ride. Absolutely legendary. Thanks for letting us take the journey with you. Here's to the next biggest score in 2023!
Amazing! Was pulling for you all the way. What a ride!! Can't wait to see you win a big tournament! You deserve it. Your dad is dancing in the sky!
I've never been so mad to see someone else lose, these tournament vlogs have been amazing was hoping for a big day 5 one. Great run and thanks for the content
Awesome Brad! Never forget that there will always be haters and the haters will ALWAYS be talkin’ whether you’re doing well or not. I’ll be here all year for this continued run good! Much love!
I really didn't think it was possible for a poker video to make me tear up... but here we are! This was an awesome video Brad, thank you for sharing it with us :)
Even though I haven't played poker in 15+ years, I've been watching your vlogs for a while now and I've been throughly enjoying watching you play and improve over the years. By giving tons of insight about things I would have never though about, sprinkling in some witty compentary, it's been a pleasure to watch you rise up higher and higher. Despite how this tournament may have ended, it'll just make the next big payout that much sweeter. Best of luck though, I'll be here for the ride, cheering you on along the way!
Wow brad just wow!
I’ve been following since the first episodes.
You are so inspirational and an example for people that if you dedicate your whole life for something you’ll get it, in poker and generally in life.
I’m sure your father is looking down proud as we all are
GG❤
Maaan, what a run. I've don't know if I've ever rooted for myself more (in my little tournaments) as I did for you over the last 3 vlogs. When I checked the time remaining on the video when you picked up the cowboys, I died a little inside haha!
You're an inspiration Brad, credit to the game and to simple, nice, people! A bit privileged to be a part of the journey from the early episodes!
Onward and upward brother, Mufasa is always watching Simba from above. Love.
I didn’t have to pause the AFC Championship and my team turned out on top yet still a little devastated to see how close you were to your 6 figure payout goal, but man I loved this coverage and I’ve never cheered so loud at a RUclips video before. What a ride!
Dude I’m so excited/happy for you Brad. I have been watching you for 5 years probably and you have totally LIVING YOUR DREAMS . Much Respect Bro! 👊🏻✌🏻
Brad… this is the first video I have EVER “liked” and commented on… this episode was very emotional for me and I’m so happy for you! I’ve been following for awhile and to see how far you’ve come… it’s amazing. Not only have you motivated me when I was at my lowest of trying to make poker playing “a thing”… you’ve also taught me so much… I feel like a shark at the tables for how long I’ve watched you. Hahaha!
Keep up the GREAT work and I can’t wait to see the next big tournament you’re in.
Really proud of you Brad, seeing you improve over the years has been a pleasure to watch. A big final table is incoming, I'm sure of it!!!
Hey Brad, I know you called it the pinnacle of your poker career, but I believe even greater days are ahead for you! Awesome to watch this story unfold, and looking forward to seeing your name on that trophy!
Agree it may be a High Point so far but it’s not the pinnacle I think that’s what he must have meant.
You are the shining example to anyone thinking they would like to give a Poker career a try. If they treat the game with half the respect as you have done throughout their life, they may just have a chance. I have really enjoyed following you from the $2-$5 streets to the biggest buy-ins in the world. Thanks for all the memories! Keep kicking ass! Good luck!
Been watching your vlog and following you for a couple years now and it’s impressive how far you have come in that time. Wish you had won that bracelet, but don’t worry it’s coming your way soon. Can’t say “Thank You” enough for all the quality content you have provided us along your journey to poker greatness. You’re the Best!
Really appreciate all the videos of the past years to now. Great job, Brad!!
Been following you for years, ive learned a ton personally from watching your break downs. This was both amazing to watch and soul crushing at the same time. Nothing but love to you bro, you deserve every penny. Bigger and better things in the future man, congrats on your biggest pay day so far
So excited for this even if I already know the outcome! Great job Brad and thanks for the great content 😀
Congrats on the deep run. We will all be with you when you reach that goal on the 6 figure score. Heck we will all be with you when you get your name on that trophy. You are one of the reasons that poker is still as big as it is now and I salute you for all your hard work to become the player you have become.
Followed you since start of covid 2020. Dam loved every bit of this mini series. Nice work Brad
Congrats on getting the results after all the hard work. Amazing video's and what a run, Brad. And more than ever leaving us thrilled at the end of every episode to see the next one!
You play great, are so consistent, and put in such admirable work to produce your vlogs. Even though you didn't go as far as you wanted, you made no mistakes and should be super proud of your tournament play. All 332k of us that watched this are definitely impressed with your results. Thank you for your contributions and get some well deserved rest!
I couldn't help but recognize that ol familiar sound when you were re calling the last hand, that bittersweet emotion that was pouring out of you is the necessary fuel needed to grow to greatness down the road!
Congrats Brad! You’re classy and it’s well deserved. No doubt your pops was with you on this run. Keep grinding can’t wait to watch you top this score this year!
You deserve every bit of your success, Brad. I don’t know you at all but you just seem like a good guy and you have put in the work and work hard to improve your game. Keep on truck in’ man .
What you said when you were driving, about "taking the hits" over the years REALLY resonated with me. Thanks.
Brutal beat but what a freaking run Brad. You once again proved you can surely hold your ground in pretty much any game or stake. Sending some run good from the Netherlands to make 2023 even bigger and better, all the best!
Spoilers!!!

If you read the comments, before watching the video, that’s on you. The comment section exists to discuss the video.
Brad my name is Michael and I'm a 57 year old poker player from Michigan and I just want to tell you what an absolute pleasure it was watching and listening to you through that tournament. I've seen many vlogs and that was the best bar none. Your insight and dissection of the hands were excellent! I felt as if I was there at the tournament following you. It was pins and needles at times. Jesus, I felt like I busted out! I had to get up and walk it off LOL.
I'll be at the WSOP with my 3 oldest this year. I'll introduce myself if I see you there (obviously the pleasure would be mine).
Looking forward to seeing more from you👍🏻
Congratulations Brad. It’s been an honor to share your poker journey even through these vlogs. You truly are the best ambassador to the game.
Brad.. I've been watching you for a year now.. I've seen you grow into an amazing poker player and I'm so happy for your WSOP win.
Congrats on the deep run. Its so nerve wrecking watch every hand and was rooting for the diamond for the last hand! Really enjoy your vlog since the 1st episode. Continue the great work!
It's fun to have followed Brad from small cash games to these kinds of tournaments. Very good, simple explanations of how he plays.
Such a gracious player. Brad Owen, you are one hell of a poker player. I am so happy to be there throughout your journey since I think you had about 25-45k subscribers only. One day, I see you winning it all! Keep up the good work. 👏👏👏
Great run Brad. Keep grinding - really enjoy watching the blog and updates.
Brad, the 12:00 mark was truly from the heart ❤️. You showed your heart toward your father. That dude was your hero.. you're everyone's hero but now we see who your hero is.. your DAD..
You said you weren't very spiritual or religious... But you feel your dad's helping... That makes a Pastor like me very emotional. Appreciate it... I have 2 dad hero's..Dad and Christ... I know how you feel and thanks for taking me to that precious place in my heart
This is so great to see. I remember watching u and Andrew whenever y’all both had less than 5k followers combined lol. Y’all are amazing great to see you 2 crushing it. Living a dream for sure and y’all deserve every bit of it
I’ve been watching your videos for years and was literally throwing tiger woods fist pumps when you won big hands in this video. Such a cool story to see how you went from cash games, to online tourneys in Cabo, to nearly a six figure score!
Very proud of the player you have grown into Brad. I have been watching you since close to the beginning. I am a lot older than you but I love how you break down your play. No one can win all the flips, it’s just poker. Continue and Congratulations
Up up up! Keep cruising Brad. Loved watching live, but the vlog is way more fun with your emotions peppered throughout. Congrats!
Wild run! Amazing how you put these videos together. Never have I been so invested in a series on YT before!
Brad, this really was amazing. Could hear the emotion in your voice throughout. It takes a lot to do this and hope you know that we appreciate it.
What a run. I groaned out loud when that ace hit the flop. Gutted for you. You should be (and rightly sound) really proud of how you played, behaved and handled victory and defeat. Love the blog Brad. Keep up the great work.
Hey man, we fell in love with the channel and with you for you being you. How you handled that interview is you. WPT signed you because you are where you are for being you. Keep being you and being awesome! Good luck bud!
Brad congrats on the deep run, I have a feeling that 2023 is going to be the year you get your name on the cup. Good luck in everything you do I have been watching your blog for a long time and I know your whole family is proud of what you have accomplished.
I'm at the point in this video where you hit big on the river with a Ten . You made me smile when you talked about your Dad helping you out with this hand. I lost my Dad just before I went to Vietnam and believe me I too know that he helped me survive many battles in the jungle.
Believe in him and your going to do fine. I love watching you play and how far you've come in your life. Good Luck my friend and believe in your abilities and most of all believe that your Dad will keep you safe. Now go get em !
My hearts know that u are gonna be a major player , don’t ever stop !!! Don’t brad ever. A winner never does
I am loving this series. I have resisted checking on the results just enjoying watching the story unfold. Thanks Brad
Lfgooo! Congrats Brad! Let's keep it going! The best is yet to come man!
Congrats Brad! As a longtime subscriber it’s cool to see how far you’ve came and how much your Vlogs have changed! Keep crushing it! Some of us are living through you.
I know I’m late to the party but Brad I’ve been watching you for a long time and I couldn’t be happier for you. I lost my dad unexpectedly a few months back so I can relate with you brother and I promise he was more then proud on your performance in the tournament. Congratulations again brother!
Hope you’re doing well and staying strong bro.. rip to your father
Your dad def watching over you. What a run. ❤ congrats on the run!
Thank you man, see you in a few weeks
it is nice to see I could still play because i'm not only predicting your actions but your sizing as well.
Great job Buddy! It's cool watching how far you've come since I started watching. Congratulations!
Nice work, Bradley. We appreciate your candor here on the channel. Keep going strong!
Dude, I'm a Johnny-come-lately to your vlog, and I'm pulling soooo hard for you to be successful in your career! You're definitely a good Joe, and a credit to the game!
That interview was great. Made a point and didn’t sound cocky at all, well done and congrats on the new PB
These episodes recently have just been fantastic. The open Ness, and shared struggle, leading to great success and peace.
