A Lytle Two Pair

Chad Holloway

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

John "PhenomaJohn" Lytle opened with a raise to 300 under the gun and the short-stacked "PaintYoFace" three-bet to 1,125, leaving themselves just 900 behind.

Katrina "FlipFlop47" Weaver called from the small blind, Freddy "nevera" Deeb did the same from the big, and Lytle put in the additional 825 to make it four-way action to the flop, which the quartet all checked.

On the turn, two checks saw Lytle bet 2,250 and "PaintYoFace" called off. Weaver got out of the way but Deeb called to see the river.

Deeb led out for 4,950 and Lytle called.

Freddy "nevera" Deeb:
"PaintYoFace":
John "PhenomaJohn" Lytle:

Lytle had the best hand with two pair and "PaintYoFace" opted to re-enter the tournament.

Matt "RubberFist" Stout Looking to Nab First Gold Bracelet

Anthony Thompson

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

One of the most common names among the top finishers in WSOP.com high-stakes tournaments is "RubberFist." That one belongs to Matt 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.

A six-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, Stout has been killing it on the virtual felt in recent years and is in action today.

First, in 2019 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 runners.

Then, he crushed it even harder in March 2020. 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, the founder of the Charity Series of Poker (CSOP), continued churning out solid results with eight cashes during last year's domestic bracelet series, though none saw him run particularly deep.

More recently, Stout captured his sixth ring last month when he won the WSOP.com Summer Online Circuit Event #5: $50,000 GTD PLO Big $500 6-Max for $13,955.

He'll try to keep things rolling this year and maybe even make a run at his first bracelet.
