No terms. Just: “We’ll figure it out.” Tristan ran fourth for $292,000. What Sam and her dad decided to give him? You’re not ready. 🥊 The Sorel Mizzi incident Drunk in Cannes. A bottle in hand. An almost-fight stopped by Jack Effel himself. (Tristan went on to win his WSOP Europe bracelet the next day.) 🎙 Where he is now – PokerCoaching.com instructor – Private coach at Cre8iveCoaching.com – Venetian / PokerGO commentator – Still grinding, still studying, still hunting the next big score.If you love real poker stories — the ones from the trenches — this one is a top-tier Table 1 classic.Show Notes: 00:00 Welcome Cre8ive! 02:44 Background in Gaming 09:20 Turning to Sports & College 16:20 AIM Spamming Life 25:24 Dropping Hacking for Stacking 29:37 Social Networking & Competitor’s Mindset 34:51 College to Poker 44:38 Poker Demons & Strategy 51:01 Life After Black Friday & Deep WSOP Runs 1:07:22 The Sorel Mizzi Story 1:18:45 The Future & Coaching!Tristan's Links:Poker Coaching & Newsletter - https://cre8ivecoaching.com/https://www.pokercoaching.comhttps://www.x.com/tristancre8ivehttps://www.instagram.com/tristancre8iveTable 1 Links:What is Table 1? https://table1.vegas200% Deposit Bonus at Phenom Poker: https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=Table1Art's Links:Rounders To Founders Newsletter - https://rounderstofounders.comSlotMaps - Beat Slots with AI (seriously) https://slotmaps.comPokerHQ - Run your home game like a pro: https://pokerhq.iohttps://x.com/artparmannJustin's Links:https://x.com/justinyoung07Play poker with Justin on Phenom: https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=JYPoker

Played lacrosse at Penn State. Obsessed over Counter-Strike. Accidentally turned a Puerto Rico casino trip into an $8k “beer money” bankroll. By senior year of college? $150k in his poker account. Six months later? Nearly dusted it. Then hit for $60k at PCA and never looked back. John has lived the full poker arc: Black Friday moves to Toronto, huge scores in Europe (including tilting Luke Schwartz in Prague), New York DJ lifestyle, Bay Area private games… and now? He’s running A5 Labs, a 200-person tech team building AI that hunts bots and collusion across online poker. This episode is funny, wild, and brutally honest. It’s about how obsession becomes opportunity, how every poker player eventually faces the “what’s next” moment, and how John turned his into a career shaping the entire industry.

In back-to-back years, Matt Affleck was chip leader deep in the WSOP Main Event. In 2010, with 15 players left and ~40% of the chips in play, he got it in with aces vs. jacks against Jonathan Duhamel… and watched the river end his dream on ESPN. The image of him walking out — water bottle flying, pain on his face — became one of poker’s most replayed clips. 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. If you only know Matt Affleck from that river card, you don’t know the full story.
