For Mustapha Kanit, the encounter with poker was made during adolescence. From as early as ten years old, the Italian-Moroccan was already passionate about another major 21st century card game - Magic: The Gathering: After an invite to a poker game from his friends where Mustapha beat them hands down, he was hooked. Mustapha packed his bags and tested Europe's poker destinations at a very young age, winning his first successes in Malta, Barcelona, Madrid and Cannes; better still, the one who had been a rather shy teen discovered his true nature at the table, one of a jovial competitor, curious of others, not lacking in the right words, a catalyst for lots of laughter. His victory in Nova Gorica's Italian Poker Tour tournament in March 2011 made him known to players in his own country, before the European pros discovered his talent six months later, in the Partouche Poker Tour final. But it must not be believed that Mustapha ascended to the heights without any pitfalls. After losing everything at 21, undiscouraged, Mustapha held his head high and continued the work of learning. It was also at this point that he was be transformed into a real specialist in multi-table tournaments. Mustapha's work was soon to bear fruit: his creativity developed at the tables, and the results made his bankroll swell again. Then came 2015, the most successful year of his young career (until now!), the one that was to see him plant his flag on the summits of professional poker. Over the course of 12 magical months, Mustapha was to win two of the biggest online poker tournaments, the SCOOP and the FTOPS, for a total of $1.5 million, and then triumph at Monte Carlo in one of the most difficult tournaments of the year, the Super High Roller, at €50,000, and win the Barcelona EPT High Roller three months later. One year later, in April 2016, Mustapha repeated his success with Monte Carlo's Super High Roller, with an entry price doubled to €100,000, adding another €1.462 million to an already very profitable track record. By the time of becoming the first Italian pro on team Winamax, Mustapha Kanit was already firmly established in the very closed circle of high rollers. Nine years after his debut, the jovial Mustapha leads his country's players in the Hall of Fame, having surpassed the $9 million profit threshold in his live career in 2017, to which more than $4.5 million won online must be added. He belongs to a rare species: that of players very difficult to beat, but, when arriving at the table, still welcomed with pleasure.

Today’s guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is a WSOP Gold bracelet winner, WPT champ, and WPT Tournament of Champions Champ who has cashed for $4.2 million in live tournaments, Matthew Waxman.Matt’s pretty much the perfect guest for a long-form interview…When the lights came on dude came out swinging, throwing down Greatness Bomb after Greatness Bomb without ever running out of steam. After what felt like 15 minutes of being fully immersed in Matt’s poker journey, I looked down at the clock and 1.5 had zoomed by like magic.The bad news I did that thing again where I only asked my guests two of my prepared questions. The good news is Matt’s going to come back on in the very near future and mesmerize me once again.When our Round 2 goes down I fully expect to share with you some behind-the-scenes stories featuring the late, great Gavin Smith.In today’s conversation with Matt, you’re going to hear stories about:His first ever live poker experience which involves him leaving his High School to head to the smoky casino and his friend hitting the Royal Flush jackpot.The time he sat down at $20/$40 NL in Commerce with his entire bankroll in action so that he could win enough money to buy in directly to the LAPC Main Event the following day.The story of how his bankroll exploded with a 6-figure day where he took down an FTOPs event he didn’t even wanna play.And much, MUCH more!And before you dive into today’s episode, if you’d like to support CPG while also taking the necessary first step towards playing winning cash game poker, Preflop Bootcamp fires up on the last Saturday of every month.The place to check it out is ChasingPokerGreatness.com/bootcampSo without any further ado, I bring to you WSOP & WPT Champ, the founder of PokerRithm.com, and the briefly ranked #1 poker player in the entire multiverse Matt Waxman.

Today’s guest is the only 4-time WPT champion on the planet, the one and only Darren Elias.Darren has over $7.5 million in career live cashes to go along with a pretty, pretty, pretty good $3.8 million in lifetime online career winnings … all despite being a low-volume player. His career highlights include:- The aforementioned FOUR WPT titles, including: the WPT Bobby Baldwin Classic, 2017 WPT Fallsview, season 16 WPT Tournament of Champions, and (Darren’s personal favorite win) the 2014 WPT Borgata Open.- Winning the 2012 World Championship of Online Poker high roller event for a cool $574k.- And a 2009 FTOPs gold medal for $126k.Our conversation covers a ton of ground from how Darren got his start playing cards in a way that’s very near and dear to my own heart … playing Yahoo! Hearts, to his first tournament bink and subsequent bankroll explosion to over $500k.There are too many greatness bombs to count headed your way, including:- How human beings are driven by personal interests and incentives that skew their opinions.- Darren’s thoughts on the re-entry vs. freezeout debate. - Why AI is an existential, imminent threat to the present and future of online poker.- Why Darren spends most of his time studying human behavior and analyzing patterns to improve his poker game.- And much, much more!So, without any further ado, I bring to you the great Darren Elias.

Matt Waxman learned the game in high school, but really got his career going in 2009 when he final tabled a $5,000 no-limit hold'em event at the World Series of Poker. The Parkland, Florida native won a WSOP Circuit ring the next year in Atlantic City, and followed that up with his biggest score to date, taking down the World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris for just over $720,000. Waxman nearly won the Festa al Lago Classic the next year, and in 2013, he won his first WSOP bracelet, banking $305,000 for topping a $1,000 no-limit hold'em event. Waxman had a deep run in the 2014 WSOP main event, and just last year, he picked up his second WPT title, pocketing $463,000 at the WPT Tournament of Champions.
