Corey Eyring Wins The Biggest Pot Of His Life

Corey Eyring’s poker journey consists of big risks, wild swings, and a bankroll management strategy we definitely wouldn’t recommend. But that’s exactly why 130,000+ people follow him on YouTube.

And in a recent Lodge Card Club livestream, Corey won a $20,415 pot, the biggest of his career, against a very familiar opponent.

Backstory: About a year ago, Corey was playing $5/$10/$10 at The Lodge. Once again, with his entire net worth on the table when he got bluffed off A♥️K♣️ by a player known as T1000, who shoved the river over Eyring’s river bet holding 5♣️2♣️ on Q♣️3♠️K♦️7♥️4♠️.

Corey folded. The clip went viral. Pain ensued.

The Rematch: Fast forward a year. Same stakes. Same table. Same villain. And once again Corey looks down at A-K.

Both players sit extremely deep with over $10,000 in front of each of them. With a $25 3rd blind out there, Corey opens to $75, gets a couple of callers until T1000 3-bets to $500 with A♠️J♦️. Corey responds with a 4-bet to $1,500. T1000 calls.

The Action: A♣️2♣️2♦️on the flop. Corey starts out by c-betting around 1/10th of the pot by placing $350 into a pot of just over $3k. Turn brings in the 5♣️, and Corey keeps the pressure on, firing $2,400 setting up a 2/3 pot-sized shove on the river.

The 9♦️on the river doesn't stop Corey who continues with the 3rd barrel and puts the remaining $5.8k into the middle. T1000 tanks. For eight brutal minutes. Finally, he counts out the chips... and slides them into the pot.

Corey tables his A♦️K♥️. The $20,415 pot goes his way. Revenge! 

Flip? The sizable win at the table is an important step toward his goal of building a $500,000 bankroll this year. And if he gets there, he has promised to put it all on a single spin of the roulette wheel.

Good luck, Corey.

Triton To Offer Lower Buy-In Events

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the spotlight and world-class service that only a Triton Poker Series stop provides, you might be in luck. CEO Andy Wong has confirmed that lower buy-in tournaments are in the works.

Triton wants to expand. Wong says players with smaller bankrolls than the usual Triton regulars will soon have a chance to enjoy the full Triton experience.

Importantly, they plan to maintain the same high standards of production quality and player service that the brand is known for.

While no specific details were shared, Wong did hint at expanding into new markets Triton hasn’t explored yet. Could that mean a US stop?

Either way, we’ll be following closely. More access to world-class poker experiences is always good news.
