On episode #71 of the CardsChat podcast, we have the pleasure of welcoming Ryan Leng. Ryan has over $2.7 million in live tournament earnings in his career to go along with 3 World Series of Poker bracelets and 4 WSOP Circuit rings. Before he transitioned to live poker he started out as an online crusher, as he's a former SuperNova Elite player. But what about the man behind that glorious beard? What makes him tick away from the felt? On today's show, we get to know him a little better.

Ryan Leng's first love was hockey, competing at the highest junior levels before catching the poker bug at his Illinois high school. He continued to play and deal cards while in college at Arizona State, eventually turning pro. He was a SuperNova Elite player online, splitting his time between Costa Rica, Mexico, and Canada before switching his focus to live play.  He broke out in 2017 with a runner-up finish in a WSOP $1,500 no-limit hold'em event for $237,776, along with a deep run in the $10,000 main event for another $176,399. The next year, Leng won his first bracelet in the $1,500 Bounty event, banking $272,504. He picked up his second bracelet in the 2021 online series in July.Then this fall, Leng nabbed his third bracelet in the $1,500 Eight-Game Mix, taking home $137,969. A week later he would finish runner-up in the $1,500 Monster Stack for another $377,220, and he later pocketed a career-best $589,628 for taking second in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship to Dan 'Jungleman' Cates. As a result, he finished seventh in the WSOP Player of the Year standings. In total, the 35-year-old has racked up nearly $3.3 million in career tournament earnings.  Highlights from this interview include seeing the country with his hockey team, battling Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel, playing 'in between the sheets,' gambling with Petco gift cards, the ASU heads-up challenge, stud hi-lo with Doyle Brunson's partner's kid, Costa Rica to Mexico to Canada, main event heartbreak, GTO vs. exploitative play, Christopher Frank's motivating photo, being a 'bracelet hunter,' a birthday bracelet, overcoming 'the worst fold in poker history,' speed Rubik's Cube, singing the Beatles in Japan, and his goal of becoming a recreational whale.

Lex Veldhuis was a gamer from an early age, and found poker shortly after the boom thanks to his friends in the StarCraft community. He quickly shot up the ranks, and it wasn't long before he was traveling the world, playing in some of the biggest buy-in tournaments and cash games available. He was even more prolific online, where he achieved SuperNova Elite status three years in a row. His play caught the attention of PokerStars, which signed him to a sponsorship deal as a brand ambassador. In addition to final tabling the $40,000 buy-in 40th Anniversary event at the World Series of Poker, Veldhuis also won the Dutch Poker Open in his home country of the Netherlands, and has appeared on poker TV shows such as The Big Game and Poker After Dark. In 2016, he began streaming his online play on Twitch, and it wasn't long before he had one of the most popular poker channels on the platform. In fact, last year he set the record for most viewers of a single broadcast.Highlights from this interview include dad wakeup times, sneaking in Nintendo time, 'leveling up' to higher stakes, sweating Patrik Antonius, the emotional investment of the game, getting some good TV time, becoming Dutch national champion, getting the call for High Stakes Poker, calling down Daniel Negreanu with king high, a series of escalating prop bets with Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, kicking a friend in the head for €100,000, reinventing his career on Twitch, winning a $330,000 pot against Doyle Brunson, his football twin, and why the 'degen fund' is just a marketing expense.

On episode #37 of the CardsChat podcast, we have the pleasure of welcoming Kristen Bicknell. Kristen has conquered both the online and live realms year after year. She has over $6.1M in online tournament earnings, not to mention copious amounts of cash earnings, dating back to her days as a multi-time Supernova Elite player. In the live realm, she is a 3-time WSOP bracelet winner with over $5.1M in tournament earnings. She has gone from being an “Ultimate grinder” to a 3-time reigning GPI Female Player of the Year, plus she's a partypoker sponsored pro. On this episode, we learn what motivates her to keep climbing poker's heights, what it's like to have experienced such tremendous online and live poker success, and much more.

Ronnie Bardah made his appearance on Survivor this week too, and *Spoiler* it was a brief appearance, the gang watched the episode and review his approach.

We also break down the WSOP 25k Fantasy Draft and who the guys think was the best value, who cost the most and Daniel’s team.   Other news includes Daniel’s public WSOP package and the unimaginable amount of traffic it got. With hundreds of thousands of dollars in packages selling out in minutes, the website crashing and overselling it was a wild success, but also ran into some huge problems. The guys also talk about Ivey’s Masterclass and some great pre-WSOP tweets, including an Ivey story!

Today, professional poker player Ryan Schnabel is a core member of the Red Chip Poker community. But his story stretches back to the early days of online poker, where he quickly rose in the ranks to playing $50/$100 limit versus household names in poker. He learned no limit, became a Supernova Elite and crushed online tournaments, and then was crushed when Black Friday hit. Through struggles on and off the felt, his dedication to the game never wavered, and today you'll find him grinding live games at a healthy profit. This is his story.

Jason Mercier's one of the most successful poker players in the world, having no less than five World Series of Poker bracelets, and EPT title and countless online wins. With $17 million in live tournament earnings, Mercier ranks 13th on the all-time money list, 7th on the EPT all-time money list and 1st on the WSOP Omaha all-time money list.  Mercier burst onto the scene with a massive win in the EPT Season 3 San Remo stop, when he took home $1.4 million after crushing his opponents at one of the fastest final tables in poker history. While that tournament meant financial independence, arguably the worst night of his life followed that life-changing win. Mercier was stabbed in the back with a broken bottle after a bar fight, one inch removed from it being a fatal injury. On this podcast he tells the entire story. Mercier's story, however, didn't start with live poker, as he was among the first Supernovas on PokerStars in 2006, and the 16th ever to become Supernova Elite in 2007. On this podcast, Mercier talks about the battle for the acceptance of his lifestyle with his family, and making big choices with big consequences.

Joshua 'jdawg91' Hoesel is a 24 year old US born SNG pro that has resided in Rosarito Beach, Mexico since November, 2011, and plays on PokerStars as "slayerv1fan". He has achieved SuperNova Elite+ four years straight, playing mostly midstakes to nosebleed hyper-turbo SNGs. In that time he has accumulated over 7 million VPPs, and will likely become the youngest player to earn 10 million lifetime VPPs on Pokerstars, which has currently only been achieved by four players. Having faced many ups and downs over the course of his career, most of which has been publicly recorded in his yearly blog threads on the TwoPlusTwo forums, he is someone to be looked up to for overcoming adversity and having the mental capacity to always strive to improve on and off the tables. He is now working behind the scenes with a newly created MTT stable, FishTailStaking, which will be looking for new players in the near future.  Mental Game MP3s | Poker Mind Coach

Actualitati din poker, interviu cu Stefan Ciuca, grinder SNG HyperTurbo 6Max pentru Supernova Elite.

Today on The Mental Game of Poker Podcast you'll get a look inside the mind of one the most profitable mass multi-tablers in online poker, Randy “Nanonoko” Lew. He's a member member of Team PokerStars Online and very recently made SuperNova Elite for the 3rd or 4th time…he can't keep track anymore! Contrary to what many players think, Randy is not playing on autopilot the whole time he's playing. In fact, he's trained his game so well that he can easily pay close attention to game flow and other details of the action, while playing 24 tables simultaneously. Remarkable skill. Randy also talks a bit about how he handles tilt himself and spots it in his opponents. You can find Randy's blog here: http://www.randylew.com/ and you follow him on twitter: @nanonoko
