When everyone zigs you zag. This whole GTO, PIo solver is getting out of hand.

Not joking haha, it was legit the first hand he was on the feature table.

Starts around 6:08:45

Chino chip leader of PCA main event with 6 left at the final table

Chino and bill collectors, live at PCA

Lots of fans and friends or lots of people owed money?

I only play live cash but soo much this

Probably much the same group.

ran like a god at the ft.

And came in 1st for $1.56 million

So much for karma. All the people he has ****ed over and he runs amazingly and wins over 1.5 million. Why not.

100% does not beat B55

I hope Chino pays everyone their share of his winnings! Perhaps he'll even have a few dollars left for himself. Seems like whenever he has a big score it isn't the $ that helps him in the future, it's the ability to sell the hope and the dream of another big score that gets people to back him until he is super deep in the hole or he just screws them over. Heard a few stories from people who know him personally along these lines.

Can someone explain something to me without being sarcastic? I really just dont get it.
All over twitter, from big names, and commentators, and twitchchat I heard people say"Chino, what a legend" "what a beast" "go get it son!" "s the MAN!" then commentator say "hes made mistakes, but learned and owned up to it.

First of all, in my opinion if someone makes a mistake and owns up to it and admit they are wrong, and pay it and say sorry. That wil prove they are a man of their word and move on and deserve a second chance. This Chino guy has done it to dozens of people for over 10 yrs.... has had numerous chances to make good, and hasnt. At this point i can understand why he doesnt even pay it back with scumbag logic theres no point to pay someone if they wont do **** to ya and you are known for this bs anyway. No upside to him paying certain peeps.

What i dont understand is why he gets the praise? Just because hes a good cardplayer why does the past not matter? Man i bet you if Russ Hamiilton won the main event people would be talking like hes king of the poker world for real..

Does he currently actually owe anybody money?

Yeah, he just won PCA main for 1.5m. I’m sure he’s really upset that he “couldn’t beat the big $55.”

Where's the photo of people literally following him to the cage a while back

it's because he's a dirtbag who owes the people money so they kiss his ass on twitter hoping to be paid back

.

Yup. A classic prisoners dilemma situation for people whom are owed money.
The commentators put a nice spin to enhance the image of poker to the casual audience and with the combination of the above we end up in a despicable industry.

True, he can just put the $55 he'll have left after paying people into 3x big 11 and 1x b22 and print 15% roi

This is crazy I remember him going at it with the Truck Driver in the WSOP.

Now he binks $1.5 milly. Somehow he kept it going. And he got rewarded.

Let's say after taxes and money owed he ends up with $700k.

Not so bad.

I despise what he has done. However he played folks that allowed themselves to be played.

"neither a borrower nor a lender be"

Lol. How about the thought that he's 100% backed for the tourney and he gets like 10% of the winnings? He didn't bink 1.5 milly. Whoever bought him in (probably Mizrachi) did

He will prolly be busto again in a few months tops anyway. Peeps dont change just because of a windfall
