$125 All In Or Fold
Level 6: 400/800 with a 75 ante
Entries: 117
Players Remaining: 95
Andrew Neeme, the latest addition to the Team Run It Up family, made his mark on the poker world with his YouTube channel and vlogs that document his life as a full-time cash game poker pro in Nevada.
Brad Owen, a good friend of Neeme and fellow cash game poker pro, is another prominent poker vlogger on YouTube, and one of the many players that are making their first trip to a Run It Up Reno stop. Owen, whose YouTube channel has over 48,000 subscribers, is one of the 120 entries in the $125 all in or fold event.
Owen and Neeme started running ‘Meet Up Games’ in Las Vegas, where fans of their vlogs could hang out, enjoy some drinks, and play some casual $2/$5 no-limit hold’em. Known as ‘MUGS’ for short, the two Vegas-based pros have started to take them outside of Vegas and around the country.
Some of their most recent MUGS have taken place in Texas and Seattle, with huge crowds for both events. RIU founder Jason Somerville attended their last game at the Westgate in Las Vegas, which was what convinced Owen to make the trip to Reno.
“This is the tournament version of a meet up game,” said Owen on break of the all in or fold. ” There are a lot of the same people and it’s the same type of environment.”
Like Neeme, Owen’s vlogs feature hand analysis from his cash game sessions, but he has his camera with him here and you can expect a vlog detailing his RIU experience in the near future.
Brad Owen – 16,000
