David Peters addresses recent debt allegations.

The high-stakes tournament crusher David Peters has broken the silence and opened up on X about his debt situation with Dylan Linde. A couple of days earlier, Linde posted about Peters still owing him $23k for a piece of tournament action and how he regretted doing business with Peters.

In his latest post, David accepts the responsibility and apologizes for his “poor communication and missed deadlines.” However, he emphasizes that it’s always been his intention to pay Linde back in full, and he remains committed to that goal.

From zero deposits to Main Event champ. We’ve shared this video before but we are sharing it again.

Joe McKeehen’s rise to poker stardom didn’t involve any grand plans or cinematic moments. As he tells it, he was just a regular kid from Philly who started staying in and clicking buttons on online poker sites. He never deposited a cent, instead grinding his way up through freerolls and getting staked by others.

He built his bankroll from scratch, even finding himself over six figures in makeup at one point. Things started to click when he scored a $175,000 win during his senior year of college, enough to pay off his loans and start believing in a poker career.

The 2015 WSOP Main Event was more of the same grind, at least until Day 3, when suddenly he had all the chips and 'everything just worked.’ The defining moment came against Daniel Negreanu, the crowd favorite. As Joe remembers, 'They got it in. It was a flip. And Joe won.’ After that, he ran over the final tables and the rest, as they say, is history.

The 2026 U.S. Poker Open Event #9 features a stacked final table, with Aram Zobian holding a narrow lead over Brandon Wilson.

Chino Rheem is also in the mix, alongside Nick Seward, Marius Gierse, and Clemen Deng. According to PokerGO, Deng has the chance to overtake Brock Wilson for the overall series lead if he finishes strong.

As the table is set, $292,800 awaits the winner.

Joao Simao walked away with yet another PokerGO Tour win at the U.S. Poker Open Event #8, but he says it was not as easy as it looked.

On Day 1, he was perpetually short stacked, never holding more than three stacks. That all changed late in the tournament….

“Eventually the night came and I tried to win a lot of pots… preflop, postflop,”
