JUNE 2016 Mid-States Poker Tour PAGE 5 Q & A CATCHING UP WITH 2015 WSOP MILLIONAIRE MAKER CHAMP ADRIAN BUCKLEY BY CHAD HOLLOWAY ess than a year ago, 27-year-old Adrian Buckley of Westminster, Colorado topped a field of 7,275 entries— Lthe sixth-largest live tournament of all time—to win the 2015 World Series of Poker Millionaire Maker for $1,277,193. Buckley, who holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado, had an interesting story on his way to winning that event. On Day 2, he bagged just 80,000, which made him the third-shortest stack among the 142 survivors. He somehow managed to survive Day 3, albeit dead last in chips among the final 17 players that included Andrew "Lucky Chewy" Lichtenberger, Mike Sexton, Erick Lindgren, and Olivier Busquet. "I came here this year with a limited bankroll, and I told myself I'm going to play in 10 events and see how I do," Buckley said after the win. "I've been trying every once in awhile, because I've been a young kid just trying to get through school, and I've never really had the bankroll to actually play poker. I've done really well in cash games and stuff. I've been Adrian Buckley a cash game grinder for a long time, but never had the money to play in some big events." all my student loans, which is fantastic.

  • 2010 Champion James Mitchell
    2010 CHAMPION JAMES MITCHELL After four days of poker-filled madness at Dublin’s Burlington Hotel, Englishman James Mitchell was crowned champion of The Irish Open 2010. The 20-year-old beat 707 players to the first place prize of €600,000 including big names such as Dan Harrington, Brian Townsend, Kara Scott, Christer Johansson, Neil Channing, and finally heads-up opponent Irishman Paul Carr in what turned out to be an explosive event overall. There were tormenting twists and turns heads up, particularly in the following three hands: Carr bet 150,000 on the button and Mitchell popped it to 450,000. Carr then shoved and Mitchell went into the tank. Finally he made the call for his tournament life and showed A 6 . Carr revealed pocket queens. As tension peaked on the tournament floor with dozens of supporters railing the two young men, the board was slowly dealt. Carr remained ahead on the K 9 3 7 board, but howls could soon be heard from miles away as an ace dropped on the river. A dejected and shocked Carr saw most of his stack go to the hands of Mitchell, and he was left with just 700,000 in chips. The next important hand to mention is when Mitchell moved all in on the button and Carr made the call. Carr showed A 5 while Mitchell flipped over K 6 . The board fell 9 2 2 7 8 and Carr doubled up to 1.4 million, decreasing Mitchell’s stack to 5.6 million. This ray of hope livened up a rail filled with Irish friends, fans, and local well-wishers.
