- Twitch’s Poker Live Channels; Surprisingly, poker seems to be one of the main uses of twitch.tv aside from video game streams. In the poker section you’ll find streamers hosting a mix of old syndicated poker reruns like High Stakes Poker and Poker After Dark, big online tournaments with pro commentary, and individual streamers showing their current games.
2018 CPPT Venetian main event champion Anthony Zinno is still in contention with 46,000. The three-time WPT champion and two-time bracelet winner defeated a field of 547 players in that $5,000 buy-in event to win $466,670. A few other players who made it to day 2 have also found their way into the winner’s circle at the Venetian Poker Room earlier this series. Johnny Oshana, who ended day 1A with 87,500 in chips, won the $1,100 buy-in Mid-States Poker Tour Poker Bowl event for $130,000 on Feb. 6. WPT Championship winner Asher Conniff has 34,000 heading into day 2, and will be looking for his second title of the festival after winning the $800 no-limit hold’em UltimateStack event for $98,669.
Other big names still in contention include 2013 WSOP main event champion Ryan Riess (86,000), bracelet winner Ryan Laplante (82,000), WPT champion Alex Foxen (45,000) and three-time bracelet winner Kristen Bicknell (30,500).
