In back-to-back years, Matt Affleck was chip leader deep in the WSOP Main Event.

This is the story before and after that moment. 🎮 From a $480K SCOOP win in college to a high school where seven classmates became million-dollar poker winners. 🃏 The truth about back-to-back Main Event deep runs — including the hand. 🌎 Life after ESPN heartbreak: live cash grinds, world travel, and becoming one of poker’s top coaches.
