David Bass, a banker and creator of Any Two, started a petition on Change.org demanding increased prize money and removal of rake in the main tournament. By April 18, 50 people had signed the petition, and by the time of this article's publication, 112 people had supported it.
Maurice Hawkins promised to win two tournaments in a month and achieved this by winning a side tournament and the main tournament in Iowa. In the side tournament, he won against 265 players with a $365 buy-in, and in the main tournament, he defeated 320 opponents with a $1,675 buy-in. This brings his total to 6 gold rings, awarded for wins in WSOP Circuit tournaments.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
