The way you articulate is second to none Brad! I'm sure along with so many other people the way you handle yourself as a poker role model makes it very easy to root for you! Congratulation on making the final table and your 1st 6 figure tournament score!
THIS WAS LIKE A MOVIE !!!!!!!!! With a 5 year set up. I watched every min of it. I cant wait for the sequel "Its Trophy or bust from here on out"-Brad Owen
What a run. Not for this tournament but for your viewers who have been watching you since the beginning. Brad, congrats man. This has been all in all an amazing ride. Can't wait to see what happens next for you. You often hear people greet each other where you may hear one say, "Just living the dream." You, sir, are truly living the dream.
I feel so friendly with you that I forget you are this incredibly skilled person literally playing on the most important arenas of your passion. Thanks for letting me experience this with you Brad
It may not be a trophy but its still a huge achievement. It would be extremely deflating but you still went so deep in a major tournament. Ive watched you for a very long time and its been amazing to see how far youve come. Love from Australia
Brad so damn humble even in deafeat as always. Such an upstanding mentor, full of pure good sportmanship. Always something good to say about others. Congrats on the win Brad. Many more to come
Damn Brad, started watching you during covid and quickly consumed all your content. Insane to see you climb the way you have, both in terms of your skill and abilities, but also in terms of recognition. Goes to show how great of a guy you are. When they were introducing you at the final table, when you were filming your outtro at the escalator, it was obvious to everyone just how happy and excited you really were. Thanks for the great content Brad!
Brad, its been a real treat watching you develop your game over the past few years! You have created a business on both YT and as an Poker room owner! and a great content creator and poker player!! Amazing job dude. People can learn alot from you.
Brad, I remember a few years ago when I commented on one of your videos. I forget what i said. I knew little about poker back then. But I remember your reply. It was something like “try not to play big pots out of position.” This was a big help to me. It got me thinking about strategy in general. I was a big losing player back then. But I learned a lot from your vlogs and studying in general. Since then I’ve become one of the few winning players in my 2/5 field. I went from probably being a $-20 an hour 1/3 player and now I’m about a $40-50 an hour 2/5 winning player. I’m just mentioning this because you referenced your hope to be an inspiration to others. Congrats on your bustling career and your tourney run.
Congratz Brad. I remember when I found your channel back in your small cash game days. It has been wild to watch your growth as a player over the years.
Brad! You have a twitch. Right arm QQ’s - 34:06 10’s - 35:58 Plz like this comment so Brad sees it Thank you all! LOVE your videos Brad! And I’m EXTATIC that you’re out of the hole. Keep up the great work!
Hey Brad, watching you during the pandemic was really important to me. I was attacked by my employer for pointing out ethical violations and I got really low. Watching your progress during this time has been a source of inspiration to keep me forging ahead. And I'm now in a really good place at a new job. Congrats on your win!
Another great episode. Truly lucky to be apart of the journey, because this is a historic moment in time for poker. One day I’ll look back and be able to say I was there for it. Keep firing brad 👍🏽💪🏽
I felt my heart in my throat. I totally experienced the same thing. Brad has awesome story telling skills and is so well spoken for such an analytical mind. His skills would be invaluable to any production as an analyst/commentator if he's not on the big show via his own merit. Brad could be the greatest poker commentator of all time.
Congrats Brad! It's been a hell of a lot of fun watching your journey over the years. It seems I'm congratulating you quite a bit lately, your having a hell of a run. I recently played in my first $5/$10 game last weekend, bought in for $500, and cashed $17500. My personal best.
Goddamn. Going from vlogging 2/5 games with hardly any followers to becoming a WPT ambassador to owning a poker room, meeting and playing with legends, and now playing for a title...everyday must feel surreal.
As a long looooooong looooooooooooooong time follower of yours, seeing you go from strength to strength, having things happen like this, is truly important to me, in showing that anything is possible. Sky's the limit. This vlog is nothing more than another moment that I thank you for. Life's a blessing Brad. Keep smashing it 😁✌️
This was a bad ass Vlog Brad. It was awesome to hear your insight and how you were genuinely shitting bricks with the pressure and stress of the final table. I have never heard someone describe that stress, but I know that everyone is feeling it which is relatable to a lot of folks. Awesome to see you stick and stay and make it pay and get out of the hole from the lodge. Good shit man keep grinding.
Dude! Your poker game has gotten ridiculously amazing! I've been watching you grow for a while and it's just amazing!! The BEST vlogger on TH-cam. Congrats buddy!!
Your dad is definitely smiling down on you man! Great job! It’s a honor and pleasure to watch your journey and to see you grow! Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing it all with us!
Congratulations on a great tournament Brad. When you put your heart and soul into something you are so passionate about, it's painful to not win it all. Everyone at that final table should be proud of that accomplishment. Your vlog is so great. It's like being inside your brain. Thank you and God bless you.
Like a lot of folks here I started watching you early on when you were just starting your YT channel. I won't claim to have been an avid follower but I'd peak it regularly over the years and watch your progression. You have really turned a corner in the past year from an avid player to true professional. Congrats and great run in the main event.
Awesome job! I couldn't be happier for you, buddy! I've been watching your vlog for some years now and have felt your highs and lows with you. Great content, my friend! I truly hope for nothing but the best for you. Great job again!
Found your channel just over a year ago. Honestly, I don’t play any poker. But I learned to love to watch it. Even watching the live streams and things that happen at The Lodge. Man, this tourney run was amazing. Obviously, would have loved seeing you at the top. But this is all in building that story. It’s amazing to see these videos. Keep up the good work.
I am so happy for you! I fallowed you from beginning and now you are so high with these achievements for last few months! Looking forward to see you with better outcomes!!
Huge congrats mate! It’s been awesome watching you the last couple of years continue to improve and see you play bigger and bigger stakes. Honestly feels like watching a mate making their dreams happen which is so awesome. Genuinely can’t wait for the next vlog!
Congrats Brad, well played! .. Family situation, the 6 figures is a milestone you've often talked about.. (Avid follower) The whole lot combined.. Delighted for you, and please keep it up! 👍✌
Wish I could like this video tenfold. I've watched this vlog since the beginning and it's a highlight of my week to watch your progression. Congratulations Brad, your dad would be proud. ❤
So happy for you, been following you for 4 yrs now. I've learned so much from you, I thank you for that. More final tables are in your future for sure.
Congratulations! I've been watching you for a long time. I Bought a (there's no right way to play jiggities) t-shirt from you when you first started selling them. Your journey is great to watch. You are great at explaining your scenarios and getting better every video.
Brad, it was your comment "now I get to be on TV when someone else starts their career " after mentioning having poker on in the background while playing and making memories with your dad and brother that put chills on my arms. It really captured the reality of dreams coming true and perspective that not many successful pros ever mention.
I don't usually leave comments , I have watched your blog for 3-4 years. Im an expat that lives in the Philippines . You truly are the ambassador for the WPT and the poker world at large. Thank you , You're inspiring the next generation. When I get back to the States I hope to catch up to you.Remember, "keep doing what your doing you'll Keep getting what your getting. Cheers !!!!!
Just sitting back and enjoying this video from beginning to end! Always enjoy your narration! Still have 13 minutes left so it’s still your game at any point! Paused just to come here and cheer you on and enjoy your videos!
want to congradulate you on the win bud.... been watching your vlogs over the past few years and the progress you've made is amazing. defintely have the confidence youre going to take one home... good luck on the felt
Dude...great run and your videos are so high class. I have tried to watch the other vloggers but your commentary and how your vids are edited are TOP NOTCH! I am not a poker player but I thoroughly enjoy your content. Here is to the next session and tournament. Go get 'em Brad...
More than any other vlogger, Brad brings us into the game. We feel the emotions as if we are in his seat. Maybe only got to 4th in the tournament, but Brad is number one in the poker TH-cam world.
I felt like an addict the whole week, kept on checking his channel looking for another fix (his update video vlog). I got so excited and a rush of relief when I saw your video. Thank you for the update Brad
Never rooted for someone so hard. I was literally calling "one time" for the King on the final hand. Congrats Brad. Been following you since the beginning and I love watching you progress and knocking accomplishments off your list. Keep it up brother!
its amazing to see your jorney... been folowing you since ep 40 and i found myselfe so excited watching this one. such a huge inspiration to see you live this life to the fullest. way to go. and good luck in the future
So odd to be proud of a stranger on the internet. Been following your channel for years and excited to see your hard work pay off.
It's his face. You can't look at that face and then not root for him. He has an underdog face :D
🤣 clout chasers are so funny. This person probably just discovered him a short time ago. 🤣 stop being oddly fake 😂
@@trevorwaller2109 damn, hit me with the triple emoji, sorry my comment triggered you lol
@@imoffworkrn5343 some people eh..
@@trevorwaller2109calling someone oddly fake while also using 3 emojis in the reply is ridiculously ironic.

That first hand:
You know the stakes are high when Brad stops calling JJ “jiggities” 😂
And then announcer announces: "the jiggities gonna win this one." 😂
haha thought the same instantly
Yet he did.
I feel so friendly with you that I forget you are this incredibly skilled person literally playing on the most important arenas of your passion. Thanks for letting me experience this with you Brad

Congratz Brad. I remember when I found your channel back in your small cash game days. It has been wild to watch your growth as a player over the years.
"Welcome back to the poker vlog" is like Mr. Rogers saying "it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." Both make me feel at home 🌞
Won’t you be my neighbor?😂🤣✌🏽🤙🏽

Hey Brad, watching you during the pandemic was really important to me. I was attacked by my employer for pointing out ethical violations and I got really low. Watching your progress during this time has been a source of inspiration to keep me forging ahead. And I'm now in a really good place at a new job. Congrats on your win!
