The husband and wife team have won four WSOP tour rings together on the same tour (to date).

Eric and Lauren Bunch, a married couple, have won a combined four rings at the WSOP Circuit Hard Rock Tulsa. Eric took three titles and Lauren added one, and the couple still have a chance to make further plays in the remaining events. If you see Eric and Lauren Bunch at the tables of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit Hard Rock Tulsa, you'd better keep your distance. The couple has already won four rings in the circuit, and with several events still to be played, they have a chance to add more. Eric, a pro from Collinsville, Oklahoma, with over $2 million in Hendon Mob winnings, won three events at the WSOP Circuit Tulsa, taking his third, fourth, and fifth rings; while Lauren won the #3:$300 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) event, winning her third ring.

Texas Mike publicly apologized after losing a record-breaking $4.26 million pot on High Stakes Poker, angered by his opponent's long deliberation. The incident sparked social media discussion, with Wasserson stating he fully accepted the apology. Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek publicly apologized for his subsequent words and actions after losing a record-breaking $4.26 million pot on Monday's High Stakes Poker show. The two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner had a verbal altercation with winner Eric Wasserson after the hand. However, Moncek—a player known for not verbally abusing opponents or losing his temper after a huge loss—acknowledged his inappropriate behavior, although most poker fans on social media did not harshly criticize his actions. However, some poker fans believed that Wasserson (who won the record-breaking pot with nine-high diamonds) was using a "nit-roll" by holding a strong hand and deliberating for a long time after facing a seven-figure all-in bet. What happened after the hand? Seconds after Wasserson called, an emotional Texas Mike told his opponent, "Maybe the worst nit-roll ever." Wasserson responded, "I immediately said I had a huge hand. I've never played a pot this big." Moncek held only 10 high on a board of 9♣ K♦ A♦ 4♥ 5♦, having already built a pot of $1,046,000 after betting on the flop and turn. He had more chips than Wasserson, who held 9♦ 7♦ and had $1.6 million in chips pre-rival. Unwilling to give up such a large pot so easily, Moncek went all-in—a move that should have succeeded if the river hadn't been a diamond. Wasserson went into a two-minute deep think, not remaining silent. He seemed genuinely worried he might lose to a stronger flush—the only hand that could beat him. “Give me some time. I don’t think I can really fold, but…” Wasserson said as he considered calling or folding. Ultimately, as all the viewers expected, the call happened, and Wasserson won the $4,260,000 pot, the largest pot in the history of High Stakes Poker. Texas Mike immediately accused Wasserson of nit-rolling him, and the argument raged for a while. He criticized Wasserson, who already had around $4 million in winnings and over $5 million in chips, for failing to generate more.

Learning ICM is common, but truly understanding it is rare: Alex Theologis launches the "Practical ICM Mastery" course.

Alex Theologis introduces "Practical ICM Mastery," a course combining over $30 million in tournament experience to provide a complete ICM framework covering preflop and postflop. Available for a limited time until September 8th. Imagine this scenario: You've been playing for hours, accumulating chips from tight recreational players, surviving coin fights, and avoiding crises with decisive folds. Now, the crucial moment arrives—the real money-making phase. As you keep checking the bubble countdown, an uneasy hesitation creeps in. Should you continue targeting that slightly tight player? He has more chips than you now. So you should play tight… but how tight? Then something happens. With 14 players left, you face an all-in from the button after your 3-bet. Oops. You know AJo played too wide. Maybe you should just flat call. Your chip stack exceeds his, but not by much. You're mentally flipping through some ICM charts, only to find… *Practical ICM Mastery* offers tournament players a completely new approach to help them make better decisions in the most crucial moments. This new course, by Alex Theologis, aims to help players make more confident decisions at every stage of a tournament, especially when pressure mounts and the cost of mistakes becomes increasingly high. Alex has accumulated over $30 million in tournament winnings and boasts a WSOP bracelet and an EPT title. His career has been dedicated to studying the most critical ICM scenarios: large final tables, huge prize jumps, and decisions worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Through this new course, he condenses everything he's learned on the highest-stakes battlefield into a practical framework that you can apply to your own game. Learning ICM is common; understanding ICM is rare. The foundation of ICM lies in a unique dynamic: the value of chips constantly changes in a tournament and varies significantly depending on the situation and the players around you. This effect dramatically alters your strategy, making it fundamentally different from simple chipEV play. By 2026, any serious tournament player will know about ICM. It's one of the most important factors in shaping tournament strategy. But it's also one of the easiest areas to learn superficially, leading to major mistakes. "Most players know that as a short chip you need to play tight, as a long chip you need to apply pressure, and you need to protect your tournament life. But knowing these things and fully understanding what ICM is are two completely different things." — Alex Theologis. If you don't understand how ICM outputs work, you can only try to memorize the answers, not figure them out yourself. And that's precisely the starting point for Alex's new course.
