WATCH: Brad Owens Worst Day of Poker

The life of a poker player is full of ups and downs; it’s the nature of the beast and Brad Owen’s army of followers get to ride that rollercoaster without having to step foot in a poker room because the vlogger documents his wins and losses at the tables.

Unfortunately for Owen and his loyal fans, the rollercoaster took a long nosedive in his latest video.

Shortly after winning $25,000 playing cash games in Bobby’s Room, Owen stated that he wouldn’t be playing poker for a while because he would become a father in the next couple of days. However, he told a little white lie about not playing because he was invited to play $25/$50 with the same group of players the next day.

Despite being exhausted and having a busy upcoming schedule, organizing everything that comes with being a father for the first time, Owen decided to accept the invitation. He headed to the poker room and bought $15,000 worth of chips.

The session didn’t get off to the best of start, with Owen losing a sizable pot half an hour into play. Owen was dealt ace-king offsuit in early position in a nine-handed bomb pot where all nine players had put $200 into the pot. The flop was king-jack-ten with two diamonds; Owen bet $300 into the $1,800 pot, and only the big blind and the under-the-gun player called.

The ace of hearts landed on the turn, and all three players checked. On the five of spades river, the big blind led for $1,000. Under-the-gun folded, Owen called only for the big blind to show king-queen for a Broadway straight.

Owen then had a chopped pot with a short-stacked player with ace-king after running it twice before receiving a nice little bonus by winning a hand with seven-deuce offsuit, as the seven-deuce game was in-play, resulting in everyone giving Owen $200 for his ballsy play.

Misreading His Hand

After winning a juicy pot after three-betting light with king-deuce of hearts, disaster struck for Owen in the biggest pot he’d played at that stage (fast-forward to 9:39 on the video to see it play out).

Owen raised to $150 on the button with ace-jack offsuit, and a solid player called in the small blind. The flop fell king-eight-five with two clubs, and Owen had the jack of clubs. The small blind check-raised Owen’s $100 continuation bet to $400, and Owen called. The small blind checked on the arrival of the six of clubs on the turn, Owen fired a $1,100 bet, which the small blind called. The seven of hearts on the river put four to a straight on the board, and the small blind checked. Owen bet $4,000 into the $3,400 pot and the small blind tank-called, winning the pot with pocket fives for a set.

However, that’s only part of the story because Owen misread the flop; there were two spades and not two clubs, meaning he didn’t have a backdoor flush draw, which he thought allowed him to continue after the flop check-raise.

Reloading With Another $10,000

After raising to $125 with ace-four of hearts from the hijack, Owen called a $525 three-bet from the aggressive player in the small blind. The small blind fired a $425 bet on the eight-five-five flop, and Owen called. The small blind fired $1,050 on the deuce of clubs turn, and Owen called. The small blind checked on the ten of hearts river, prompting Owen to take a $1,300 stab at the pot. The small blind pondered his options before calling with seven-deuce to win the pot and an additional $200 from every player.

Owen reloaded his stack with another $10,000 and almost immediately lost a few thousand after his opponent backed into trip sixes after missing a flush draw when Owen had a second pair.

The popular streamer and vlogger then had his second chopped pot of the session when his ace-king lost one run out against ace-five of a short-stacked player, although he won the second board.

Another Chopped Pot

Freddy DeebAfter winning a couple of decent pots, Owen found himself all-in preflop against two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and two-time World Poker Tour (WPT) champion Freddy Deeb. Deeb opened to $200, Owen three-bet to $1,000 with pocket jacks, only for Deeb to jam for $10,000. Owen called and agreed to run it twice, losing the first run out before holding on the second.

Representing a Full House

The final big hand Owen played caused him to be angry with how he played, not least because it cost him $11,000 on the river. The hijack opened to $150, Owen called in the cutoff with ace-jack of hearts, and the big blind called. It was three ways to the queen-ten-six flop with two spades. The big blind checked, the initial raiser in the hijack continued for $175 before Owen raised to $600. The big blind, but the hijack called.

Both players checked the arrival of a jack on the turn. Another jack landed on the river, the hijack bet $3,500 into the $1,725 pot, and Owen raised to $11,000, effectively turning his trips into a bluff, a move that Owen really wasn’t happy with. It looked to have worked because his opponent didn’t snap-call, and took some time to decide what to do. His opponent finally called, turning over pocket sixes for the bottom full house for the pot.

Owen added $6,000 to his stack, meaning he was in for $45,000 in total. He won a couple of thousand dollars back before racking up.

“That was the worst session of poker that I might have ever played. I lost $23,800. I played yesterday and won $25,200, so I basically lost everything that I won yesterday. I went from having my biggest win at the Bellagio yesterday to having my biggest loss at the Bellagio today.

“Honestly, I shouldn’t have played. After big wins, it’s good to take a day to decompress, but I was invited to the game and any time they invite me I kind of wanna show up, especially after a big win. I was exhausted. I woke up this morning at 6:00 a.m. and worked on a video for three hours because I couldn’t sleep and needed to get a bunch of stuff done, so I was already tired before I sat down to play.”

A Happy Ending

Although Owen played his worst-ever session of poker, the video ends on a happy note with the birth of his son, Henry, so really, he’s winning. Owen now plans to spend the next few weeks grinding the $8 million guaranteed Summer Series online at WPT Global.
