Player Profile: Matt "RubberFist" Stout
Matt Stout
Method of Qualification: WSOP.com Online Super Circuit Series Casino Champion
If the name "JackBogle" is a common sight among the top finishers in the WSOP.com high-stakes tournaments, just as regularly spotted is "RubberFist." That one belongs to Stout, as long-standing a tournament presence as any dating back to his days as "all_in_at420," the nom de guerre under which he's racked up almost $4 million in cashes.
Already a two-time ring winner coming into this season, Stout absolutely killed it on the virtual felt in 2019-20.
First, he added a third ring to his collection, taking down Event #8: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller 6-Max for $47,330 in a field of 177 in the fall series.
Then, he crushed it even harder in March. He shipped Event #2: $215 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack for $43,286. After a sixth-place finish in another $1K six-max event, Stout tasted victory again in Event #11: No-Limit Hold'em - BIG $500, banking $63,234. Along with three smaller cashes, that was enough to secure Casino Champion honors and make good on his pre-series prediction to his wife.
Stout continued churning out solid results with eight cashes during the domestic bracelet series, though none saw him run particularly deep.
He'll try to keep things rolling in the GCC, and a big cash would surely soothe the disappointment of being denied what he said was a highly anticipated trip to North Carolina, where the tournament was originally scheduled to run.
