What a ride! Lo di todo y me la gocé desde la 1a mano. Qué increíble verme en el spot con el que todos soñamos y poder sentir tanto apoyo, una experiencia que nunca olvidaré. Compartirlo y sentir que me las pedíais ha hecho este deep run aún más mágico❤️

@shaundeeb @phil_hellmuth You played by the same rules as every competitor who stepped into the Summer Arena at this year’s WSOP, and you came out on top! The playing field was level, the challenge was real, and you rose above it all. Congratulations! ❤️

I’ve stayed quiet through most of the Player of the Year chatter — but after @phil_hellmuth video, it’s time to respond. There’s been too much misinformation floating around, so let’s set the record straight. First off: I had zero involvement in the WSOP changing the POY formula. The shift from counting unlimited cashes to capping at 10 wasn’t my call — and it hurt me more than it helped. Phil himself admitted that. I play more events at the WSOP than almost anyone, year after year. The old system favored players like me who put in massive volume. The new cap flattened the field — and I still came out on top. Phil also claimed that “no pros believe the right player won POY.” That’s just false. I’ve had overwhelming support from players who understand the structure and saw the grind firsthand. So here are the facts: - 5 final tables - 3 runner-up finishes, a third-place, and a bracelet — my 7th That’s not hype. That’s consistency, depth, and performance. That’s a POY résumé. Mizrachi had a phenomenal summer — Main Event run, his fourth PPC title, Hall of Fame nod. Legendary stuff. Benny Glaser crushed too — 3 bracelets. No question. But POY isn’t about highlight reels. It’s a points-based system. It rewards steady results across the entire series — not popularity, not narrative. And by that measure, I earned it. Is the system perfect? No. It still needs work. I’d gladly help improve it — even if it means lowering my future chances. But make no mistake: I didn’t create the formula, and I didn’t benefit unfairly from it. I’ve been chasing this for years. Every summer, same mindset: show up, play everything, let the score take care of itself. I didn’t win POY in a vacuum. I earned it — one table, one day, one hand at a time. POY shouldn’t hinge on who generated the biggest moment. It’s about the full body of work. And this year, that work spoke for itself. Never thought I’d be backed up by @RealKidPoker while getting blindsided by Phil Hellmuth — but here we are. Some people evolve. Others just keep rewriting history to stay the hero of their own story. Props to Mizrachi. Props to Benny. And to Phil? Congrats — on spreading false info, trying to hijack Mizrachi’s Hall of Fame spotlight (shoutout Jared Bleznick it was his suggestion first), and once again proving that volume doesn’t equal accuracy.

@ChidwickStephen On and off the table, I’ve always had the utmost respect for you, and always will. ❤️

Hello X. Many of you will know me as a top poker player who doesn’t say very much, and for a long time, I guess I didn’t really think I had much of value to say. I’ve kept a low profile for most of my life. I’ve built my career with a quiet determination and focus on the things I could control—my preparation, my decisions, my consistency. “I don’t waste my time with social media,” I told myself. And while that decision was undoubtedly the right one for me at the time, the reasons were fabricated—or at least incomplete. What I didn’t admit so explicitly was my fear: fear of criticism, of vulnerability, and of my inability to control my own obsessive nature. I would almost certainly meet the criteria for autism spectrum disorder. I would almost certainly meet the criteria for bipolar disorder, though I never stuck around long enough after an episode to receive a formal diagnosis (whether or not I identify with these labels is a topic for another day). I’ve known the isolation of being forcibly separated from society, for my own protection, and wondering how I got there. I’ve experienced being so socially drained from a day of live poker that I’ve gone to sleep hungry. Not because I was so focused that I lost my appetite, but because those one or two brief human interactions required to feed myself were just too much. I know how absurd that sounds—I knew it back then too—but no amount of rationality stopped it from being true. Over time, I slowly adapted. I learned how to sublimate that anxious energy and turn it into a motivating force—into an obsessively focused drive to reach my potential as a poker player, to prove my worth to the world through external accomplishments. And then the validation I was seeking started coming. In 2019, I was voted by my peers in a CardPlayer magazine survey to be the best player in the world—my dreams had become reality. My ego had a field day, but it wasn’t long before I realized there was still a piece missing. Now that I was painted as “the best”, there was no margin for error. Despite everything I had accomplished, I was no less fragile. Every misstep felt like a threat to the whole narrative. Am I slipping? Am I getting old and complacent and lazy? How much longer can I keep tricking people into thinking I’m so good when I know how big my mistakes can be? And none of that even touched the root of what I was actually seeking underneath it all—to be accepted. So when someone threw out an offhanded criticism—“boring,” “robotic,” “no personality”—I took it to heart. Because somewhere in me, I was scared they were right. Driven by my desire to be the best poker player I could be, I started doing deeper inner work—peeling back the layers of my belief structure and examining what was uncovered. Why did I feel like I had to be perfect to be worthy? What was I really seeking through my success? Uncomfortable investigations that slowly but surely started to free me from my preconceived notions of who I was and who I should be. And I saw the benefits—in my performance at the table, yes—but more so in my day-to-day interactions with my family, my friends, casual acquaintances, and even total strangers. The progress empowered me and urged me onwards. The more I leaned into vulnerability, honesty, and trust in others, the more confident, authentic, and self-assured I felt. I’m learning to listen not only to my precious logic but also to the quiet, mysterious, unexplainable voice within. The voice that speaks when _I_ am silent. The voice that now compels me to write this—and to expose it for the world to see. And so here I am—the kid inside the robot costume. Just another human being in pursuit of love, of connection, of belonging. Tired of running from my shadow and ready to stop and turn around (I hope). This message is for anyone who feels trapped in the darkness. I’ve lived through times that felt unbearable—where the idea of peace, or connection, or even a quiet mind felt impossibly far away. If you’re in that place right now, I want you to know: it can get better. You’re not broken. You’re not beyond help. Keep going. I also want to thank all the people who saw something in me that I took a long time to see in myself and guided me down this path. Some will know who they are. Others may never realize how much a small gesture meant to someone who was struggling. I’m deeply grateful for all of you. TL;DR: Hi, I’m new here. PS my intention is to be quite intermittent in my engagement with social media, at least initially, so if you reach out to me and I don’t respond please don’t take it personally.

@padspoker Congrats 😎💪🏻

It was a beautiful summer to have a beautiful summer.
