The next vlog will be a special one. I can't wait to put it out. Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel. I mentioned there was a hand at the end where I bluffed off a good chunk of my stack. Someone asked about it in a different comment and here's what I wrote as the response and the details of that blunder: There wasn't footage of it since it was at the outer table and not an all in. When I'm playing a tournament for potentially hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, my first priority isn't to film like I would normally in a cash game. When I'm at an outer table I only bring my camera out for all ins when there's no more action. Notice that I didn't explain how I went from 2.4 million to 3.1 million either. Here are the details of the hand though... BTN opens to 80k @ 20k/40k. I'm in the BB w Jh9d. I call. Flop is 984cc. I check. BTN bets 85k. I raise to 300k with top pair and a backdoor straight draw (probably shouldn't have). The BTN calls. Turn is 6c so the flush draw gets there. I check and the BTN checks back. I think when he does this he won't ever have a flush and probably just has 1 pair at best. The river is the Qd. I have a blocker to the straight and my hand has been reduced to second pair. I don't think I'll be good at showdown after the BTN called my check-raise, but the fact that he didn't re-raise and also checked back turn caps his range, so I bet 650k to rep the flush and get snap-called by JTcc. The BTN indeed had a flush. I don't love the way I played the hand but I'm going to lose a few hundred thousand no matter what.
Thanks for the extra info, you really have taken your game to the max. I remember when you were unsure of your skills to play 10/20. Now your on an epic run! Can't wait for the next episode!
My favorite part about Brad's jokes is he makes them with the exact same delivery as everything else he says. he's so cheery and matter of fact that you don't even realize he's being funny until you digest what he just said lmao
That shove with the pocket 7s was glorious even though you ended up having the best hand. I love hearing your explanations of how you piece things together.
As far as rough runouts go, watching your friend drill a Royal Flush in your face to stay alive is far from the worst possible outcome especially since it didn’t eliminate you. That’s a poker memory he will remember forever; straight out of a fantasy.
You can see at the end of the hand that I've got a smile on my face. I never like losing an all in, especially deep in a tournament, but to lose it against a friend for a smaller amount to keep his tournament run alive in a royal flush vs set runout is about the best way to lose one of those and I was happy for him.
Never write on here Brad, but figured 2023 it was time after following for so many years. Honestly incredible what you have done so far and the level your game has improved to. This last video and the walkthrough of the thought process with the 7s was a great touch and helps complete the picture. I look forward to the next video but more importantly your career. Thanks for sharing with the group of us who can’t or don’t share the same career path. All the best.
EXACTLY!!! From the early giraffe references to him plugging his buddy CheckRaiseCharles...even in those days he had solid content on why he played hands the way he did.
Isn't it awesome to take this journey along with Brad? I once had a sparkle in my eye, and big dreams of playing against Phil Ivey, and running deep in 10K's, but to watch this stand-up dude pull it off over the years has been the next best thing. Wishing him continued run good!
The 77 vs K5off hand breakdown is exactly why I study your play and videos. Perfect analyzation of the hand in terms everyone can understand. Im about to start the next video and I'm literally cheering out loud for you. Great work!!!
It has been so cool to see your quick progression and success over the last few years Brad! Love the vlog. Your humor is the best. And I feel almost special, as a longtime viewer from your early days, to see you dominate the sport and live out your dream! Thanks for bringing us along and allowing us to “participate” in sharing the emotions and successes with you.
feels like a fever dream to watch these, to see how quickly everything has changed in just a short couple of years. no one deserves it more than you man. super happy for you and can't wait for the next one!
Never in my life have I been hoping for a quickly passing weekend after hearing the next episode is airing on monday already. So awesome to watch, as always
Best break down of hands and thought process on any vlog I’ve ever seen, including all your previous vlogs. And that’s saying something considering all your previous videos are very good as well. Sending run good from Houston bro🍀
That hand against Daniel was nothing short of genius. Not only did you completely destroy the guy at the live table, but also explained the whole thing absolutely perfectly. You're a treasure, Brad!
Thank you Brad! Congratulations! As a fan I couldn’t tell you how many years I’ve been waiting for a vlog, not one, but apparently at least a 3 vlog tourney! It’s been so incredible watching you become the player you are today! Youre a top dog!
Best video you've made! Amazing recap to the 7s hand. The teaser at the end...I want to look up how you finish...but gonna wait till you drop the next video.
First thing I do when I get on the computer in the morning is too click youtube and type in Brad Owen to see if he has a new vlog. Love love love your content....your insight and knowledge are so helpful. But much more than that is seeing a genuinely good person living his dream and taking us on the journey with him. Thank you for all the joy and fun you give all of us. You are the best.
What an amazing life you've built for yourself. You've been my favorite pro poker player for years now, I'm rooting for you to run good until your name shines on the Sexton Trophy. GOOD LUCK BROTHER BRAD
I wish I could like and subscribe more than once. Even though I know the outcome, I simply can't wait for the next vlog. Thank you Brad for everything you do to entertain us with the story of your poker playing life.
Your Dad is watching from the front row upstairs and he is beyond proud of you. You got this Brad! Go on and crush it for a 7 figure payout you amazing human. You're a Godsend to the poker community and one of the most down to earth players I've ever seen.
your vlogs and videos always remind me of why i love poker. winning or losing it's gladiatorial combat of the mind. i hope you pull down an amazing win brad
With everything that is happening, most of us are a paycheck away from being homeless, hope we are all prepared, get yourself an alternate source of income
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks gold, silver and digital currencies.
You're right! If you are not conversant with the markets, I'd advise you to get some kind of advice or assistance from a financial/investing coach. I diversified my $450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment advisor and I've been able to generate a little bit above $1.2m in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, Etf and bonds this red season. For me, its themost ideal way to jump into the market these days
This man has got be one of humbiltis guys on this earth. I always have enjoyed your videos and the way you comment on your poker game. Please get them coming and good luck to the final table. You and Andrea are truly assets to the game of poker.
Brad i've been watching since the end of 2017, when I was getting into Poker as an 18-year old (I'm UK so I could start playing at that age lol) and it's just so amazing to see how far you've come, from the 2/5s at Red Rock to big time tournaments like the WPT. Such an inspiring story!
Don't stop being a punny guy. Your humility, detailed descriptions of play and ability to keep it fun have me coming back for more 👍 Congrats on the leveling up!
Played my first tournament in years last night after watching your last video. Managed to final table out of 200+ entries. Thanks for the inspiration Brad!
I love this channel for a few reasons. The first is that Brad is so likeable. The second is for the fantastic analysis even though it's not always correct. Nobody is always correct. The third and most important- We all know the stars with all of the money that we have watched on TV forever. I LOVE seeing a good regular lover of the game like the rest of us keep focusing and climbing.
Anyone else verbally cheering when Brad wins? So happy for you Brad, we’re all rooting for you, amazing to see the progress over the years. A true testament to the grind of improvement and you’re reaping the rewards, I smell a new high score coming!!
Thanks Eddy. Poker is funny. Sometimes you're running well and feel really confident, then the next day you can get torched and feel like you don't know how to play poker at all.
Nice Playing Brad! Love Tournament style vlogs! Crazy, been seeing a lot of Royal Flushes lately… I made my 3rd Saturday night @ the Encore vs a set of Kings! Keep up the great work!
9:15 holy this reaction is the funniest thing ever.. that light-hearted laugh at brad's pain is so damn funny for some reason.. "double with the royal?" lol
Dude, I met Andrew 3 years ago and was invited to a game, but couldn’t make it! I’ve been watching you both grind, and congratulations to both of you on your voyage! Good job, fellas!
Awesome video! I'm excited to see the rest of this series. I would have loved to see more of how you managed the bubble as one of the bigger stacks. Go, Brad, go!
Bradley Owen fucking CRUSHING it out here. Watching his journey and rise to the top of tournament play has been phenomenal over 2022, can't wait to see him top the biggest of his career to kick off 2023. LETS GO BRAD

Thanks for the extra info, you really have taken your game to the max. I remember when you were unsure of your skills to play 10/20. Now your on an epic run! Can't wait for the next episode!
The puns with Adel killed me, I almost choked on my food, Brad. Excellent delivery XD
He called at least a thousand times…. With his Dell 🤣🤣
I came here to say the same! I spit out some of my cold brew lolol
The computer joke was terrible! Hahah
same hahahhaa
My favorite part about Brad's jokes is he makes them with the exact same delivery as everything else he says. he's so cheery and matter of fact that you don't even realize he's being funny until you digest what he just said lmao
The breakdown at 22:00 is exactly why Brad is one of the best poker influencers. We appreciate you Brad
Never rooted harder for a poker player than I am for Brad right now.
Same here

I was literally refreshing your TH-cam-Channel like 3 times every hour today hoping for part 2 of the vlog!

I live for the Brad puns😂 all the Adel stuff was gold!
Wow I just realized the "from the other side" pun after reading your comment. Funnyyyyy
@@jimbobthedog and must have called 1000 times
He's a Del(l) guy
It was 😂
Hello from the other side. 😆
Helllo…. it’s Brad.. adel puns are great. Thanks for making my night a little better having a vid to watch. Keep it up man 😎💯
Love ya Brad. So proud of how far you’ve come. Been watching since the 1/2 - 1/3. Days

Win or lose, you're really playing the best I've ever seen you play, well done!
I LOVE the analysis of the hand with Daniel. The checking the cards after the call is a sure tell.
Best break down of hands and thought process on any vlog I’ve ever seen, including all your previous vlogs. And that’s saying something considering all your previous videos are very good as well. Sending run good from Houston bro🍀
The wait for these videos is killing me! I am sooo excited when each of these videos comes out! So happy for your success!
Damnit Brad you have me all pumped up. Can't wait to see what happens on day 4! The teasers are hype.
Your commentary on the 88 hand that you folded was spot on. That 20 seconds of talking is some very valuable advice for a tournament player.
Your hand analysis and sense of humor are second to none. Congrats brother
It's been pure joy watching you grow and become one of the best there is. Cheers, and go win this thing!
That hand against Daniel was nothing short of genius. Not only did you completely destroy the guy at the live table, but also explained the whole thing absolutely perfectly. You're a treasure, Brad!
Yeah I had some of Michael's action in this tourney. Good friend and guy! :)
Glad you hade it far as well!
Thank you Brad! Congratulations! As a fan I couldn’t tell you how many years I’ve been waiting for a vlog, not one, but apparently at least a 3 vlog tourney! It’s been so incredible watching you become the player you are today! Youre a top dog!
Great blog. Love the detail, especially the Tells, and decision logic. Very interesting hands
Im really happy to see Brad pushing the boundries of his own skill
Best video you've made! Amazing recap to the 7s hand. The teaser at the end...I want to look up how you finish...but gonna wait till you drop the next video.

Posted on my birthday? Can’t get any better than this
Happy birthday bro!
Happy birthday broseph
Prob one of the best videos one could ask for on your birthday. Lol
How about having love ones who cares about you and what you do ?? Probably would be even better than this idk
Oh my god what an entertaining series this has been. I'm so excited for the next episode
As a life long chiefs fan, I will pause the AFC championship to watch this next vlog because Brad’s the real MVP
Same. Unless I do well in the cash games, then I might be buying a last minute ticket!
Wild ride Brad. Adele references haha
That's where you really shine as a creator! Love yah bud
Ahhh. The suspense! I don't want to look up the results, but this is killing me. Hope we get an update soon!
i am glad that no one spoilerd me yet in the comments
Me too! It's been really hard to fight the urge!
Was just thinking this!
Omg he won!!!
Not googling this at all! Really can’t wait for the next video!

@@Rykerfleming Hi, could you be kind enough to share the info
of the investment advisor guiding you?
@@Anneeklund319 Sure, My Financial advisor is Lisa Paula martins. A middle aged lady from Arizona who really knows her stuff.
Look through her profile on the internet with her name(Lisa Paula Martins).
Years passed... but Bradley Owen still says all of his thoughts out loud in the middle of the game and stops time to think about it. Bravo!
It’s so much fun to watch you play and your strategy. Very much in your corner, win it all!
That preview for the next vlog was epic, good luck Brad!
Can't wait for the next one! Really enjoyed the editing in this one with flashbacks and previews.
Love your breakdown of the 77 v K5 hand. Brilliant play really
Great post. I really liked the Adele lines!😉
Been watching you since the log started. You are a superguy and hell of a good player. Best of luck from Sweden.
We need to get Brad over a million subs this content is 🔥
The Adel puns were fantastic!!! Also, go 49ers this Sunday, Brad!!!!
The only channel I’ve turned on notifications for. Well done sir, you are an inspiration.
I'm soooooo looking forward to Monday now for the next vlog!! I hope it's not the last one from this tournament. Loving the channel as always Brad. 🤙
Watching your channel x3 years now…? It’s incredible watching your progression…nobody is vlogging poker better than you. Kudos

Awesome vlog again, i can feel the tension just by watching you play! Good luck Brad
Played my first tournament in years last night after watching your last video. Managed to final table out of 200+ entries. Thanks for the inspiration Brad!
This is Cool to watch. And not just because I have been rewatching old episodes the last few days.
Rumour has it this was gonna be a great video. You're definitely rolling deep in chips!
Wow mate, some seriously good moves, we’ll played. Happy to ride the wave with you
Brilliant play.

So happy for you Brad, we’re all rooting for you, amazing to see the progress over the years.
A true testament to the grind of improvement and you’re reaping the rewards, I smell a new high score coming!!
you are goated! your plays are insane, and the knowledge you have is incredible.
Thanks Eddy. Poker is funny. Sometimes you're running well and feel really confident, then the next day you can get torched and feel like you don't know how to play poker at all.
That was a good one.
Great vlog, great playin.
Itching to check Hendon mob but definitely don't want to spoil the rest of this run. Congrats Brad!
Been watching for three years and it's awesome to see how far you've come Brad! One day I'll see you at a table
Congrats Brad - Awesome show of force - All the work / vlogs show such an honest player ! Great channel !
Brad’s commentary is the best. He should be the voice of poker.
Brad turned this into a trilogy. I watched the games live so I know all the things.
Nice Playing Brad! Love Tournament style vlogs! Crazy, been seeing a lot of Royal Flushes lately… I made my 3rd Saturday night @ the Encore vs a set of Kings!
Keep up the great work!
Dude your analysis is on point. Great job!
I don't know what I love more. The seamless puns or the great poker content. Excited to see how it goes and hopefully get that 7 figure payout.
No matter how much you cash in this tourney, nothing will top that 2nd Adel pun. Peak vlog content right there.
Nobody plays their hands better than Brad, his internal analysis is amazing. Getting good cards also helps. Hope to see you heads up in the finale.
9:15 holy this reaction is the funniest thing ever.. that light-hearted laugh at brad's pain is so damn funny for some reason.. "double with the royal?" lol
Seriously the best poker content I’ve ever seen you are an absolute king Brad
The breakdown is always super helpful and fun to listen to! Has definitely helped my weekly poker nights against my pals!
Dude, I met Andrew 3 years ago and was invited to a game, but couldn’t make it! I’ve been watching you both grind, and congratulations to both of you on your voyage! Good job, fellas!
Amazing run Brad your doing amazing keep it up the bracelet is right around the corner 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Awesome video! I'm excited to see the rest of this series. I would have loved to see more of how you managed the bubble as one of the bigger stacks.
