It's really wonderful. I remember seeing his first videos with that total milquetoast look "Watch out guys, I'm playing poker" and transforming into a force to be reckoned with. If there were people underestimating him they're going to be over that in the mean time. What I like is that it's not just a good news show, look how good I am. He also shows those moments where he gets kicked in the nuts. He's the real deal, he treats his opponents with respect while not allowing them to plow him into the pavement. I seriously can't wait to see his name on the Mike Sexton cup. It's bound to happen, it's just a matter of time. He will get there.
I've been watching you for yearsssss now, since somewhere in the early double digits of the poker vlogs. Back when playing 2/5 was the regular content and bagging 500 dollars on the night was bigtime. It's crazy that now you're getting to final tables at events you probably dreamed of reaching... All the best to you, hope you keep improving and win some!
Learnt more from Brad than anyone else. I love the dialogue and the commentary - both the ups and downs. I agree that Brad is really heading toward top tier. Its been fun watching the growth. All this from a bridge player - lol. Thx bud.
Awesome job of not losing composure after the quads vs. full house hand - that was probably the biggest hand of this video, even though you lost. What a turnaround and comeback after that. Can't wait to see the final table!
Well done Brad! Thanks for continuing to produce content even though you’re getting to be pretty big time, and your young family has to be taking up much of your time and energy! Keep on killing in bud. Got a lot of people cheering for you.
I love making the videos to document this part of my life and to maybe eventually look back at one day or for my kids to watch years from now. It's a little tougher to juggle everything at the moment, but I don't plan on stopping any time soon. Thanks a lot for the comment and support man. Reading comments like these and seeing that people still enjoy the content definitely keeps me motivated. Good luck to you.
Would be happy to offer my services as your assistant if you ever need help coordinating and organizing everything in exchange for a staking deal of some sort in smaller circuit events! 😎 (WSOP-C, MSPT, etc)
@@BradOwenPokerI am still not understanding your commentary or the screenshot here 20:48 . If the board is as shows, QsKd3s5dAs and you and the posted WPT screen says Zhang shows “Qs2h for trip queens” ??? I figured it was a mistake but your narration says it also.
I remember watching brads 1/3 vlogs YEARS ago, seeing him apply both his content creation and his poker study is very inspiring, KEEP IT UP, we love you
This is what happens when an excellent player hits a good run of variance and deals well with tilt hands. Watching Brad's journey to a player who has learned to lose the least and win the most has been an exciting ride! Go Brad!!!
Its so awesome to see just how far brad has come and seeing how popular he has become amongst all plays old and new all while making the best poker vlogs around. keep up the great work Brad!
I just love seeing you have this type of success. As a long time subscriber, it’s been awesome seeing your progression as a poker player. What I find most appealing is that you, actually, are becoming a better person too. As you’ve always been an extremely stand-up guy, that’s saying something.
Congratulations on the deep run, Brad! I'm sure your Dad was/is looking out for you, especially on that Quads over boat. Amazing job losing the minimum. Sending positive SoCal vibes your way (Go Aztecs)!!!
Great to see you getting after it and all you have accomplished over the years! Brad, you have definitely inspired many people in the world, and not just poker players. Keep up the great work!
Pocket queens played a huge role in this video... in 3 different hands... first the boat to quad queens.. then the queens you laid down that woulda won a huge pot... then the coin flip queens over AK... great video and can't wait to see the final table...
Congratulations on the birth of your son!! Congratulations on the way you're playing lately. You're getting better and better. Best wishes from Wasaga Beach Canada ⛱️
Brad your big advantage over many players is your composure and not getting titled easily over spots many players would have lost it, kudos for you man and get the title we are all waiting for that, cheers
That ace on the turn was a life saver. Regardless, flopping a boat and not getting stacked is truly elite play, especially when stacking your opponent there makes you a huge favorite to win the whole thing.
@@BradOwenPokeryou’re way too good to ever go broke in that hand, even without the turn A. You’re never raising at any point; it would be suicide. ICM dictates you call on every street to keep his bluffs in and exercise pot control.
Dude just won a massive hand in a huge tournament and said two things and they come at it. Meanwhile, that lady was loud as hell and talking constantly and no one said anything.
I don't think anyone would have said anything to him if it was just one "yeah!" or fist-pump. But after the 3rd "BANG!" in a row at the top of his lungs it was a little much, and he deserved the "calm down", imho.
Seeing that you're running for the final table combined with the pots you were in had me on the edge on every hand, what an awesome run! Happy to see you getting to final table and looking forward to seeing you bag the win Brad!
Brad is by far the greatest poker vlogger we’ve ever had! Keep doing what you’re doing Brad you’re giving us all entertainment and I even have my own schedule to watch your videos at night time while eating some good snacks! You’re the man Brad! keep being you and never let money change you
btw - Brad good luck at the final table. Note that I was most impressed by losing the minimum on the full house vs quads and keeping as about as cool as possible. Great lesson.
The skill to be able to make it this deep in so many events is really rare. Well done Brad. There are tournament grinders who maybe make one or two final tables in a decade, and you have made several in a very short window. Keep rockin' it!
Hey Brad! if you’re using an iPhone you can change a setting that won’t mess up your frame rate in lower light places it seems like that’s what’s happening. I think constant frame rate looks better than choppy with “somewhat” better visuals Just a heads up of course not 100% needed :)
@@RonaSpreader I definitely switch a lot between samsung google and iPhone so I know what you mean but i’m pretty sure brad is a hardcore iOS user so yeah better to just change a setting for him than to buy a whole new device
From betting risky 1000$ on the river at bellagio years ago and considering a 2000$ cash game A HUGE GAME to playing this EPT is just a summary of what Brad has done with true passion to this game!❤
Man that was the key moment quads over full house that was very sick hand there but you kept on and flopping the 10s full to get to the final table well I'll be rooting for you Brad good luck man
When I watched this episode, I talked to the screen, alternating between, "I totally would have made the same move" and " Wow, I would have played that hand wrong!" Great job on not losing to boat vs quads.
I got bluffed out from a million dollar tournament and the guy ended up winning the tournament. Very similar play you put on. For that lesson has made me a better player now by looking at it from a different perspective
The amount of studying you do versus other vloggers is night & day. I beg Mariano to study because it shows in the thought process. These young cats will learn though. Congrats on everything Brad, never stop learning & remaining humble!
Been following you for years and never miss a single episode! Looking so much forward to seeing the next episode and seeing if you finally will get your name on the sexton trophy 🎉
Brad will most certainly get in the poker hall of Fame with the other goats. Brad has come a loooong way. Been fantastic watching Brad climb the stakes and playing the "nose bleeds" Brad is a BO$$!!!
Good luck, Brad ! You have a wonderful blog and you seem like a wonderful person ! I'm glad that your hard work pays off ! Congratulations with the baby and being a father !
the constantly hitting big hands or having people over value their hands when he has the nuts?? LOL its pretty basic poker the way all of his hands played. dont be fooled by his commentary
Anyone else think its crazy to see how far Brad's come? blows my mind everytime!
i know right
I don't think people understand how much hard work away from the table goes on. Takes hours of true study and understanding of positions, ranges, etc.
It's really wonderful. I remember seeing his first videos with that total milquetoast look "Watch out guys, I'm playing poker" and transforming into a force to be reckoned with. If there were people underestimating him they're going to be over that in the mean time. What I like is that it's not just a good news show, look how good I am.

He always looked like he was going places..Great to see.
He only posts his winning hands. His primary income comes from TH-cam and investors.
No better feeling than hopping on TH-cam during lunch and seeing Brad posted 46 seconds ago
Hahaha, yupppppp
Diary of a virgin
😭😭
Just did the same thing 😁
same thing 😬
Not going broke on QQ5A with 55 is WORLD CLASS Brad
I'm not sure I'm good enough to do anything but go broke there, and I don't know if I ever will be good enough to make that play.
@@jasonfullerton7763yeah for sure
I woulda gone broke there, and I’m tight as heck
Craziest thing is it’s blind versus blind!!!!
massive props Brad!
Blind vs blind. I’m 100% going broke.
Who am I kidding. I’m still going broke.

The people out there are amazingly friendly. It makes playing a lot more enjoyable.

🎉🎉 what a great run … thanks for the ride Brad… I haven’t heard you this pumped up since your boy was born!!! 🎉🎉
Its so awesome to see just how far brad has come and seeing how popular he has become amongst all plays old and new all while making the best poker vlogs around. keep up the great work Brad!
What a run! You've got a sharp instinct for when to bluff, it's what amazes ne the most about you. I'm really pumped to see the finale.

Brad, just started watching. Love your commentary. Some of the best I’ve ever heard.
Papa Brad back in action before my Friday shift. It’s a great day.
For real buddy
Sir it’s a Wednesday
@@JimmyStewaaart You are correct, and it is the “Friday,” of my work week.
I hope you had a great shift.
@@Jdwg72 hell yeah I got you. Sundays are my Friday. You caught me on my Monday being snarky.
Great to see you getting after it and all you have accomplished over the years! Brad, you have definitely inspired many people in the world, and not just poker players. Keep up the great work!
I really thought he meant that he got quads but he tricked us
Yes I did
Cheeky, Brad. Insane cooler, though... Hope the family is alright. Thanks for the vlog.
Pocket queens played a huge role in this video... in 3 different hands... first the boat to quad queens.. then the queens you laid down that woulda won a huge pot... then the coin flip queens over AK... great video and can't wait to see the final table...
That 55's full loss to Quad Q's hand play deserves so much respect!
What a run mate, i just loved the hand where you didn't fell in love with poker 5's with you having full house. that was tournament saviour play.
I got so excited for Brad 28:12! Let's F-ing GO! 🔥
Congratulations on the birth of your son!!
Congratulations on the way you're playing lately. You're getting better and better.
Best wishes from Wasaga Beach Canada ⛱️

Dude the guy in the blue with the blue sweater at 3:55 is NBA player PJ Tucker!
That is most definitely not PJ Tucker
@@Gbyrnes68 hahaha it looks like him tho 😂
It was good times playing with you at the lodge! Hope all is well with you and the family!!
One of your best vids yet
I love the graphics for the hands that didn’t get filmed I find it very helpful to keep along with the telling of the hand great job Brad
29:02 Why did they make the tall guy stand on one side. Brad's a head taller than everyone else. Give that man a seat!
Congrats!! Saw you at an airport in Nashville Tennessee. Thanks for saying hi . Glad to see more wins from you.
Wow!!! All the luck Brad.
Brad! This was the best I've ever seen you play in a long time. Good luck at the final table...I really believe you will win this one. Good Luck!
How the hell did you not get stacked with that Bvb flopped quads over boat hand.
btw - Brad good luck at the final table. Note that I was most impressed by losing the minimum on the full house vs quads and keeping as about as cool as possible. Great lesson.
Way too long between posts.
If anyone deserves there name on that cup, it’s Brad. Man you’ve came so far & I hope your family is doing great.
Fantastic play. Great blog.
The skill to be able to make it this deep in so many events is really rare. Well done Brad. There are tournament grinders who maybe make one or two final tables in a decade, and you have made several in a very short window.
Keep rockin' it!

I would've gone broke 5 out of 5 times with the quads over full house. Well played.
You played really great poker, lost the minimum on coolers, got max value with good hands, and made some great bluffs. Mad respect.
That first woman doesn't play much poker if shes so salty about that beat, pretty standard beat.
Also super annoying
Congrats, Brad! You have a beautiful kid & family! Wish you guys the best!
0 views in 12 seconds, Brad really has fallen off
I called "first" yesterday.
3.5 in 12 is crazy

Ur a weirdo😂
Hahahajahahahaha
Bro this guys voice is so satisfying it’s weird 😭😭like I can’t stop watching Brad he’s the best
Your taking too long to post follow up videos
The best time i have at work or in life is when @BradOwenPoker drops a video 😅
Lunch time baby!!
Man that was the key moment quads over full house that was very sick hand there but you kept on and flopping the 10s full to get to the final table well I'll be rooting for you Brad good luck man
The lady at the beginning is awful to listen to
Nice run! Great video
Why was that women at the start acting like you hit a 1 outer to win the main event?😂
She knew that right after winning the small pot to start Day 2 that I would surely make the FT

Been watching your blog for a long time now. Great stuff Brad! Hopefully my poker journey can expand as yours did.
The pocket fives hand was insane. You did great.
I think folding the Qs with 2 shoves was a PROFESSIONAL move! Well done Brad
That woman at 2:17 just made the hurt a little bit more for the other guy😂😂😂😂

Hahaha hearing Lily asking you to teach her is so funny … she is always hilarious to play with 😂😂😂
Great episode. A lot of action in this one. Way to go, Brad!
Excellent play, Brad. Ups and downs happen for all poker players, and I enjoy watching your swings. You handle swings like a pro.
Congrats, Brad! Lots of stressful moments and great playing! Let’s gooooooooo!
Been here since day 1 and I Can’t wait to see him win the entire WSOP one day!
Well done Brad! You are a beast. Everyone that played at Graton is pulling for you dude!
Fantastic play. Go get em Brad!!! can’t wait to see the final table
Good Job Brad.
Henry is cheering you on too
I just want to tell you. Thank you. I enjoy watching you play. Very much so thank you
Definitely best poker i have seen from Brad
the constantly hitting big hands or having people over value their hands when he has the nuts?? LOL its pretty basic poker the way all of his hands played. dont be fooled by his commentary
Great ep! I played with Alon at Aria shortly after this. Nice guy. Didn't realize you were the one who knocked him out of this one till now.
Best video - poker related - in a while, Go Brad🔥❤️
