In May, Jeremy Becker caught the attention of poker Twitter as he seemingly rattled off win after win after win in the Wynn daily tournaments. He won one on May 4, May 8, May 11, and May The Wynn Poker Room Twitter account posts winner photos of each tournament winner. It was a joke. It was awesome for sure. Becker, who recently turned 27 years old, continued to play the dailies while working the details of a deal that allowed Becker to play a big WSOP schedule, including the Main Event. With players remaining in the Main Event, Becker could be staring at a six-figure payday if he continues catching those punts.

He'd spent 12 years representing the poker site that had dominated the industry for nearly two decades. The Canadian-American wore no patch to the WSOP that summer and it was an odd sight for those who attributed the poker legend with the PokerStars logo for so many years. Five months later, he was patched up again, this time representing a poker site that had huge aspirations of doing the unthinkable — competing against the Goliath of online poker PokerStars.
