Alan Keating signed up for his first 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) event on Saturday, but he apparently won too much money this week on The Lodge live stream to care enough to show up and play.

The cash game specialist doesn't play many tournaments, although he does appear in a couple of WSOP events each year. He paid $25,000 to enter Day 1b of Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship, and didn't even compete.
