That handbag bit was an absolute killer, can't stop howling 😂😂😂
Along with "The Rail" jokes
W Mans!
Awooooooooo
Same 😂
Yeah that was uncalled for no need for that burn 😂😂😂😂
The fact Brandon ran like that the entire tournament was wild, you’ll get them next time Brad ❤
Such a genuine guy you are Brad, humble in victory and defeat. Props to you for playing it out. Great vlog!
Wouldn't call that defeat
I Agree, Hang in there Brad, It WILL COME!
Brad huge props to you for not chopping even being down 6-1 in chips. Such a real move. You deserve all good things that are coming for you. Keeping killing it!
He's a fucking competitor no doubt.
Tbf he's made well over the ifference in ad revenue from the video... especially with the extra drama lol
An ICM chop was proposed not an even split. So he was only getting a little extra EV from the added cash his opponent offered. If it was an even split, he probably would've taken it.
I rarely comment on YT but I can't help myself. I stumbled over these videos, having no clue about poker. I watched them, as they were a nice contrast to my research in the lab, and since I did not need to understand what Brad was telling me. Still, they were so enjoyable, funny and interesting, that I really got hooked.
Now, I can't wait for the next one, having learned a lot about poker and having become a big fan.
Keep it up, Brad, your work is amazing!
Greetings from a PhD student in Germany.
Fühle dich richtig, Grüße von einem Maschinenbaustudenten :D
@@maxn1878 Ich fühle wie du ihn fühlst. Lieben Gruß aus der IT
Fühle wie ihr in fühlt. Liebe Grüße vom Jurastudenten
That's awesome Samuel. I love hearing these kinds of stories because it means a lot to me that non-poker players still find these videos interesting. Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing your story. Good luck in the lab man.
Fühle genauso... Gruß aus der Medizin
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos. When I heard about your dad I was heartbroken. Love watching your videos big hugs Brad. I remember the video when you won a big pot and turned around and your dad was there bringing you lunch. I'm so very sorry for your loss. U know hes a proud papa, keep up the good work Brad.
Right as I was finally done crying laughing at the huge support with all the crazy energy (Andrew sitting on his phone). Brad hit us with the duck bag…. Paralyzed with laughter and stomach cramp for the next 10 minutes
That was a great bit. Perfect example of why he is at the top
get a life dude
Props for playing it out, that kid had a legendary sun run. Hard to beat that.
Respect to Brandon, he really offered you a good deal, seems like a genuine kind of guy, too. Happy he got the win in a way
Totally agree, seems like a nice guy!
Both players made the right choice(s) and the ending was justified. Win-win for both parties.
But…. Could you imagine if Brad ended up crushing him in 10-20 hands with a few key doubles….. the pain!
@@professorstock4362 I don't think that would have felt so good. Brad got to fight like his dad might have wanted him to, and a new player got a big score without having to split money with 2nd, I think it's perfect the way it happened.
Brad shoulda took the chop I see his point of view. In the end they both did each other a favor, Brad wanted to either win 1st or lose 2nd which I respect. Brandon wanted his first win and he didn’t end up having to fork over any dough
LOL.. ok had to pause the video and comment after your comment about the lively crowd on the rail for you and then showing nobody but Andrew.. that was good. Really good.
Almost made me cry man. My Dad's going been in and out of the hospital, so hearing you speak about your Father while being in such a pressure situation hit me differently. Cheers man
Your dad taught you much more than poker, Brad. Your dad taught you a whole lot of life skills: loyalty, humor, humility, organization and many other practical skills that let you be the best poker player you can be. I all of us would agree you did the right thing leaving your chips stack at the Venetian to be with your family. Whether your run good is due to your dad we may never know; you can bank on the fact your run good as well deserved based on those other things he taught you.
Woo Hoo!!! Nice playing Brad! My Dad showed me how to play poker about 40 years ago, and thank god he’s still with us. Best Dad’s ever!
I finally noticed why I only watch your poker vlogs and not most others.
You are such a great story teller, your narration of these videos is wayyyyy better than most.
The genuine happiness and the little chuckle after winning the 2nd ticket to give away was an amazing moment to watch. Great to see you loving life man!!
As an extreme casual player (maybe play once every two month) I love the content Brad. I've watched nearly every single video. Just wanted to say watching your growth has been awesome and I love every second of it.
Also you talking about your dad this episode, and how this will be the turning point in your career really struck an emotional cord with me. Wishing you all the best!
I feel like I'm watching the events of a movie play out, we've been in the training arc for a few years, slowly transitioning to the victory run where Brad dominates everything involving poker. I've been here a while and plan to stay for even longer. Keep crushing it Brad.
Brad, we can see how much that win means to you, its so nice to see a bloke like you doing well and making your dad proud! Almost made me cry!
The best comment ever… LGB!!! 😮😂😂😂 You made the right call in “going for it”, instead of chopping. Congratulations b.Rad you earned it. Bravo!!!
Hey Brad, definitely the right decision to not take the split offer. The moneys secondary when you know you’re on the way up. Keep up the good work.
Man that so awesome. Super congrats to you! I also finished 2nd in my first tournament online. (2/145) winning over 45 times the entry fee. Watching your videos as well as some other pros have really changed my game, and now one of the most popular players on the league. I really hope one day I'll get to play alongside with you and thank you in person. Looking forward to your class coming up. This was my birthday month and it's only getting better by the moment. Got some fun games coming up over the next few months and will be giving shout outs to you.
You are a great embassador to the game. Keep up the excellent job. Your Dad is looking down and is so very proud of you.
Great video Brad. Your dad would be proud. Brandon was an overall good guy, especially for offering the chop.
I had to stop the video when negotiations for the chop were going on. BRAD..DONT DO IT!!! Your response to your father passing was spot on. No regrets. You would regret this one.
Brad! So awesome to see how you’ve grown so confident over the years since vlog #1, while staying true to character!
lol trolling the handbag really made me smile - thank you!
congratulations Brad! and I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. It's so tough to lose a parent. I know he's so proud of you. We all are. ✌️
Mr. Brad. Congratulations on your win. I’m a huge fan and there’s no one more deserving, I wish you had won first. I just want you to know that I could tell from earlier videos how close you were with your dad, and he just seemed like such a nice and outgoing person. It hurts my heart that he passed. Just know that you have tons of support, I wish you the best!
Thank you Charles
Great run Brad! I know your Dad is looking down smiling and super proud of you! we all are!!
I learned to play poker at 12 years old. My uncle(whom I lived with) and his friends were really into Holdem in the late 90s. Years of house game tournaments and dealers choice. I stopped playing until coming across a Brad Owen Video about 4 years ago. Natural story teller, easy to follow, and seemingly a great all around guy! Keep it up!
Thanks for getting me into poker, i literally used to watch your videos not knowing a clue of what was happening, your a goat,also that picture of you and Phil Ivey is so dope.
No brainer being with your family. That's why people love you Brad. Next I thought someone was gonna start a go fund me page for the LV Purse! Great run Brad and fun stuff as well.
i literally wait everyday for you to drop a new vido. I love the breakdowns, genuinely educational, and i love how you show the runouts even when you run bad, makes it very realistic and i can feel the pain. keep it up dude
Need a new hobby 😂
I love how unhappy he was that you chose to play it out. HAHAHA FIGHT TIL THE END BRAD!!!!
Lol yeah I saw that. Sour face
27:40 - one of the absolute BEST moments in YT history (at least in mine, watching it)! @ Brad - You're just an amazing guy going for it - in the seconds before, I hoped you would. This is exactly what makes me proud to be a fan! And I'm pretty sure your dad looks down, smiles and is proud too! ...and I'm writing this with the video stopped at 27:45, so I don't know how it all ends! 🥳
The LV duck bag was epic.
I was on the edge of my seat , leaning forward , foot tapping hard and totally focused ! What a ride! Give yourself a pat on the back.... you deserve it !
I cant believe how insane that dude ran. Awesome content Brad as usual.
I genuinely respect your rationale for not taking the chop. Regardless of how you finished, you did so with no regrets. Well done Brad. Can't wait for the next vlog! NO RAGRETS!!!!!
🎉 Congrats! You are just one of the kindest and most enjoyable bloggers to follow. Hope that run good keeps rolling my dude!
I love watching you do your thing! I somehow missed that your father passed away- my sincere condolences and congratulations on coming through on the promise you made. All the best- John
PS- lol on the hand bag. You always crack me up!
The ending with Brandon was wholesome. Good sportsmanship. Good run
The duck handbag 👜 jokes make this one your best vlog yet Brad, well done.
Its about time! Brad! Was waiting for weeks! Literally checked out the channel a couple of times thinking alerts were not working properly!
I don't even play poker but your witty comments in the voiceover are so freakin funny, they're what keep me coming back! This is hands down one of the most original youtube accounts out there. Congrats on the placement Brad!
Brad. 3 duck bags was priceless. Ha! Huge congratulations on the big score and for deciding to go for it. You will get there.
I’m glad you played it out, knowing your Dad would want to see you succeed. I’m sure he’s quite proud of you, and smiling down upon ya.
Congratulations brother!!! Keep it coming!!
Finally some more content! Totalt worth the wait. Brad you continue to keep it interesting, personal and hilarious without losing the educational and objective edge. Awesome
I had no idea "chopping out plus some" was a thing. Glad you played it out!!!
The fact that that guy was wearing 100% fake designer clothes and you suggested the 7000 dollar duck is hilarious
Great job Brad! You made the right call on playing for it. Pride and accomplishing a goal is FAR more valuable than another 1/7 of your prize. Congrats on the 2nd place! Looking forward to seeing your first WPT win!
Great job Brad, I’m glad you decided to go for it despite the enticing chop offers by Brandon. May the run good continue!!!
Love the handbag jokes! I miss jokes like this in your vids. Keep up the good work!
Nice, get it Brad. Love the decision to play for it. You've been working hard in the lab, nice to see dividends.
I'm definitely switching to duck bags as a unit of winnings. "How'd I do? I made 3 duck bags, so yeah, pretty great day!"
🦆 🛍️
OMG! The Duck Handbag skit made me cry!! One of your best videos EVER!! Great tribute to your Dad!
Brad you are absolutely outstanding, don't ever change. Can't wait to see you at the Bellagio with your three duck handbags! My favorite part of any week is when i see you have a new vlog!
Hahaha one thing that didn't end up making it unfortunately is that I tried to buy the duck handbag to surprise people at the end with it, but it wouldn't have gotten to my house until Thursday and it had already been so long since the last vlog.
@@BradOwenPoker 😂🤣😂🤣 That would have been priceless!!!
That was a HUGE rail you bought drinks for, hopefully it didn't sit you back too much. 😂. Awesome job Brad!
I’ve been checking this channel everyday for the last 2 weeks for this vlog. Missed you brad 😢
Have to love the "energy bit" with the screen shot of Neeme on his rail, 😂🤣. Congrats on the nice score.!
This was easily your funniest vlog! The Andrew support and duck bag had me rolling!
Three handbag land sounds wonderful.
Great to see you again! Can't wait for the rest!!
brad owen one of the few youtube channels where the commentary doesn't constantly spoil the results of the hand. rep
Absolutely killing it man, can't wait to watch you at the final table in the main event.
so happy to watch you smashing it right now! been watching for years and it's so good to see you climbing higher and higher!
Nice run! I played with Brandon during day 2 of the $600 event. He is a very nice guy! He was offering to send dealers cashapp money for massages I placed top 35 in that one, and never had a chance to make another event sadly.
Another fun video, very happy for you!
Just some friendly feedback. I think you’ll be better off showing real gameplay within 5 minutes of the start of your vids. Otherwise people will click off
I had the pleasure of meeting you and your father at the wsop , he told me how proud he was of you , and i told him you have a bunch of fans including me!
Sorry for your loss Brad. Hope all is well man.
Thank you Elias
24:04 .. I love your sense of humor. Congratulations. Your dad must have been really proud of you.
Brandon has a great smile and comes across as a super-nice guy so maybe losing to him is one of the best ways to come in 2nd! Kudos!
Great vlog! Congrats on both of your 5 digit cashes! I’ve been watching since I started playing poker and this month I made my first tournament final table and got my biggest cash so far! Your videos have helped my game tremendously
Your dad is super proud of you dude, and is looking down and with you every second going forward. Keep this same energy and keep crushing!
What a fun run! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Really enjoyed it! Plus, the rail crowd was amazing 😵
So exciting to see the whole rail cheering you on with that energy. Seriously though, congratulations! So much fun to watch you win over and over. May we all run as good as Brandon!
It’s always exciting to watch how legends are made. I’m talking about you, Brad! Thank you so much for sharing. I wish I can travel to the states someday for a meet up game and witness the legend in person!
lmao i love how famous Brad is now, dude is a super star, and still humble asf. i love you brad
I have never seen your videos before, I really enjoyed the serious and engaging commentary since I haven’t played in a long. I thought that was your style. So I got completely blindsided when you 20 minutes in turned into a comedian😂 great video!
I’m glad you’re still running extremely well lol
This was your best video ever man. Absolutely loved it
You had me dying about him purchasing the duck purse. Always with the clutch jokes hahaha
Haha pretty decent joke yourself 😂
Love seeing your efforts paying off at the felt and in life. You’re an easy guy to root for. I’ve learned a lot from watching your vlogs. Number one thing I’ve learned is that you’re a first class man and your dad was and is very proud of you. Stay on the heater my friend.
Congratulations Brad! Amazing job! Brandon was on a streak that was just unstoppable.
Another absolutely amazing vlog! Been watching you since vlog #1 and couldn’t be happier for you! Congrats on your largest score yet - the best is yet to come!
It’s so nice to see a good guy winning
What an amazing guy. Truly inspirational - I’m sure you’re dad is resting easy knowing you’re doing what you love. Run good brad I’ll always be rootin for ya
Congratulations Brad. You have me crying when u mentioned your pops. He is definitely proud. 😭
Major props for playing honorably-always play it out. My sincerest condolences on the unexpected passing of your father. No doubt, he taught you well and would be very proud of how you conducted yourself throughout the tournament. Thank you for sharing with us!
Brandon was running too good. I would’ve taken the extra $4k. Couple double ups and you’d be even so I get the decision on going for the win. Great score and can’t wait for the seat giveaway!
Yeah it would just be so lame for the vlog to chop and Brad is a WPT ambassador, so I feel like it’s almost appropriate for him to try and play it out
@@counterfeit4450 agreed. Plus it’s not like a 4 way chop. It’s heads up. So like I said, I get it.
Congratulations 👏
Been following you for a couple years now...
Sorry about your father...
Lost my dad 9yrs ago...
Keep up the good work...
Always cheering for you...
✌️
It's crazy how we are all learning poker in new ways as opposed to what we did 2 years ago watching your vids great vlog keep it going brad. By the way the Let's go Brandon joke just made me like you more..💪
I know right, he plays so different now!
This is so awesome Brad! Can’t tell you how proud we are of your accomplishments! Great to watch and support you again! Keep the run good going!!
Bad. I have been following you for years now. I can't get over your journey. Congratulations to all your success. We played together at MGM Springfield at a meet up. Looking forward to seeing you again. I will be at the one on the 18th in Vegas.
The comedy in these vlogs is unmatched 🤣 thanks for the content brad, there’s not a whole lot I look forward to on UA-cam these days but your channel always restores my faith 🙌
Brandon got the most awesome smile. Dude rocks
Damnit, Brad, so sorry to hear of your dad passing. As a follower of your poker journey, I know little of your dad, except that you loved him, and he supported your poker career. Or rather, it seems like, he supported your journey through life as what you wanted to do. A rare gift for a father; regret not his passing, but rather, remember his gift to you - his faith, in you. 🙏🏼
Congrats Brad! Great video. Really enjoyed it and super happy for you! Hope the runs good continues!
happy to see your improvement, always support since day 1 you started your channel! best of luck Brad!
