Coolest thing of the whole summer happens the last day. Pass by Ivey’s table “Texas mike, you win?” Didn’t even know he knew who I was. I say no 3rd. He shakes his head in genuine disappointment😂☠️

- I still find @martinkabrhell super amusing 😂 poker needs villains! And he might not be so bad with the cameras off! GL to him and to us on bullet 2!! #BraceletHunting #HookEmThis time @martinkabrhell is talking to @TexasMike2014 in the $250k in the way that only he can 😅 Will he bust the fan favourite though? (he doesn't want too!)
00:00 - Testing showed bottom of my heart is unexpectedly dead, world expert for my condition has never seen this before. Angiogram on Monday to take a closer look at wtf is going on. Getting scary fast..bypass surgery might be the next step..hopefully will have better news Tuesday 😔
- This was annoying. Heart didn’t feel up to playing and I just needed some extra rest. Very lame to post this when wsop could’ve just called me. Shouldn’t use my health situation for clicks
- Yesterday’s procedure didn’t go well. Have a trapped artery. Options now are down to open heart surgery if possible (surgeon would have to ok an exploratory new surgery) or heart transplant. Will update when I know which option/when that would be. Fuck
- Unfortunately I won’t make day 2, heart is feeling horrible and have to rest for now. Really hoping to feel better and play again this week. Thanks to those reminding me to put health first and not push it ❤️🤘
- 80 yr old patient in the room next to me “If the good lord Is ready for me I’m ready for him” screw that Texas is #3 in preseason rankings im not trying to go anywhere! #TooMuchToLiveFor #HookEm
- Also I’m super appreciative of all the support heart wise I got this week. Really really appreciate it so amazing ❤️
- Good news and bad news.. Bad news: Consultation with surgeon isn’t until the 26th Good news: This guy is the director of heart surgery at Mayo Clinic!! 😍 Probably one of the best people on the planet to do this?? We’ll take it! #HookEm
- I love when ppl can play super high stakes but can’t settle their own staff from their games months ago. The games are even raked huge! Insane. Stay away from anyone you’ve heard of who doesn’t pay, the stories are real and good hardworking ppl get screwed. Not paying the staff
00:00 - Somehow chipleading @tritonpoker Million after day 2..super stacked field but lets hope to run too hot for it to matter with $12 million up top!! #BraceletHunting #HookEm
- Congratulations to @TexasMike2014, winner of Event #1: $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em at the PokerGO Cup. Moncek wins his first career PGT title after topping the record-smashing 177-entrant field to collect the $185,850 first-place prize. He is now 12th on the PGT leaderboard.
- Today’s kind of a weird throwback to when my dad died I was on dinner break of a $400 circuit tourney. I was chipleader and never went back and they’re probably like wtf. Maybe we can keep in mind everyone has diff stuff going on always. Feeling better see yall back at Paris tn🤘This was annoying. Heart didn’t feel up to playing and I just needed some extra rest. Very lame to post this when wsop could’ve just called me. Shouldn’t use my health situation for clicks
