joshnadin Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 (edited) I've just come across an Instagram post from Patrik Antonius, highlighting (at least some) of the line-up for High Stakes Poker - Season 9. There may be some other very well known, and lesser known names joining the line-up too. As you can see, the line-up is pretty insane! For those of you that don't know, this includes Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, Doyle Brunson, Koray Aldemir, and a couple of guys that I'm not familiar with. Maybe you guys can shed some light on who they are? Oh! And not to forget our very own favourite streamer, Kim Hultman - A.K.A. Mr. Ding Sum! This line up is obviously full of legends from the poker world, including some extremely skilled poker pro's. To go through just some of their achievements - Phil Ivey - Phil is an absolute boss. If you know anything about poker, you know Phil Ivey. He's won 10 WSOP bracelets, a WPT title, and is highly regarded by many to be the best all round poker player in the world. Daniel Negreanu - A.K.A. Kid Poker. We all know who Daniel is, right? Daniel has bagged himself 6 WSOP bracelets and 2 WPT championships under his belt. He was regarded as the best poker player of the last decade. Tom Dwan - 'Durrrr' is an absolute sicko who made a name for himself playing the nosebleeds online. Back in the days of Full Tilt Poker, Dwan made a cool $5.41 Million back in 2008 alone. Patrik Antonius - Patrik is a Finish legend, who has millions in live tournament cashes, and is regarded as a heads-up specialist. He regularly joins the biggest cash games you'll find on the planet, and does very well in them too! Doyle Brunson - is the original legend in the world of poker. A WSOP Champion, the first player ever to win $1,000,000 in tournament winnings, and is that much of a boss, has his very own poker hand named after him. Ten, deuce for the win, baby! Koray Aldemir - is a German who won the latest 2021 WSOP, for a cool $8 Million. He also won the Trition High Roller in 2017 for $1.3 Million, and finished third in the One Drop High Roller for $2.1 Million. A newer kid on the block, but also a serious name in the poker world. -- Between them, these guys have millions upon millions in tournament, cash game and online earnings, and are some of the most well known, and established players in the world. I can't wait to be able to watch the the episodes when they're available! I'm rooting for @LetsGiveItASpin - Casino Streamer to absolutely smash it, relieve these guys of some of their lifetime winnings, and come back to Malta a few million richer! I also realise that for Kim, playing with these guys will be a dream come true. I don't know anyone who's ever been into playing poker, and not one day dreamed of being in the position of playing high stakes with these guys.

Springo Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 Haha, so weird to see Mr Ding Sum with all those legends of the game. I hope Kim has fun and even a little profit will still be big money! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
dagreenblazer Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 How cool! I didn't realise Kim had already done photo shoot and met them all!! DNegs is an absolute genius of poker though I always loved Dwan for his sheer mentalness at playing - would be epic to play them both, though freaking scary too lol! Be awesome if Kim ends up being a big face in poker too! Would love to see him flashing some WSOP bracelet drip on stream! 1 Quote Link to comment
dirtystack Posted 5 December, 2021 Share Posted 5 December, 2021 (edited) When I saw this picture one word/phrase/vibe came to mind. The whole lineup, they way everyone is positioned, sorryt Kim but what comes to mind is "Crushed" But I am a negative nancy/nigel - hope you have a wonderful experience. Some nice exposure to the American market too, nice move, getting position. Edited 5 December, 2021 by dirtystack 1 Quote Link to comment

mrclean Posted 7 December, 2021 Share Posted 7 December, 2021 I only watched 10 mins live of how Kim lost $50k at the blackjack table. just pure pain to see. nothing fun about it. and yeah he put real $100s in the table if ever somebody considers streamers playing with "fake money". no, they have real bucks and yes they can afford to lose that. I like you Kim and it's your money but I am just getting sorry about your moves. I remember many many years ago you got only 50 viewers and I was so happy with you when you hit a $1k bonus on a golden fish tank. you jumped over the coach to celebrate. times are changing Quote Link to comment

But, I think it still makes great content so long as the stakes are relative to what the person gambling is comfortably able to lose. Kim's net worth has increased drastically, and his bullets and bet sizing has increased accordingly along with it. I think that Kim & Blanco have the most genuine reactions to their wins, and losses, and for me, that's what being a good real money streamer and content creator is all about; no matter if you're playing $5 a hand or $5,000.
