Like most poker players in the mid-2000’s, High Stakes Poker was my favorite TV show (I had watched every single episode, of course).

So when I got the invite to play from Mori Eskandani through my friend Tom Dwan, I knew I had the chance of a lifetime: I might get to play days of poker with my poker heroes (legends of the game both then and in 2023!)

Still, nothing could have prepared me for what it was like to sit down with Sam (Sammy) Farha, Eli Elezra, Jamie Gold, Phil Hellmuth, Jennifer Harman, or Daniel Negreanu (though Brandon Adams and I had battled plenty playing high stakes poker online ⚔️).

No, the high stakes didn’t bother me at all.

I’d spent plenty of time playing against the best online poker players in the world at $200/$400 and $300/$600.

What made me uncomfortable was playing poker on television, and the SPEED at which it happened.

Why - I get into it later in the video, but let’s just say I didn’t expect to be sitting in this situation, with these poker legends, so quickly.
