Dan Bilzerian SLAMMED by War Hero for Fleeing Shooting
High-stakes poker-playing playboy Dan Bilzerian has been slammed for running away from the mass shooting massacre in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
Pennsylvanian local Matt Glantz is a multi-talented man in the world of poker. Not only does he play the game professionally, but he also helps to put together televised poker events as well as working as a business consultant for Rush Street Gaming. He might just be the best player ever that hasn’t managed to win a major WSOP or WPT title, racking up $6,487,469 in live tournament winnings but still longing for that much-desired bracelet.
Matt’s biggest win to date was in the 2009 EPT £20,000 No Limit Hold’em High Roller event in London, where he finished in first-place for a staggering $862,837. In an entertaining final-table line-up that included Ilari Sahamies and Erik Cajelais, Glantz emerged victorious in a field awash with tough competitors.
Although he’s not managed to win a WSOP bracelet as of yet, he has come agonisingly close on numerous occasions. The closest of these was in 2005 when he finished runner-up in the $3,000 No Limit Hold’em event. A mixed-game enthusiast, Glantz has reached a WSOP final table a total of nine times with combined earnings in the series surpassing $2,900,000.
Popular amongst players in the poker world, Glantz is an integral part of the TV show Poker Night in America. Working as a producer and responsible for getting the right players in to make for an entertaining game, Matt often takes part in the televised cash game action himself at the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia. Following a highly-publicised Twitter feud between poker players Mike Dentale and Cate Hall, Glantz was the driving force in putting together the entertaining grudge match that took place between the two of them to settle the beef.
An outspoken presence on Twitter and a generally entertaining character, you can find out more about Matt at PokerTube’s exclusive interview with him here.

High-stakes poker-playing playboy Dan Bilzerian has been slammed for running away from the mass shooting massacre in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
Reactions have been varied, many tweeting in fear of loved ones while others have used Twitter to spread the call for help. Others yet have already started the expected political ‘discourse’.
Californian poker pro Art Papazyan landed his 2nd big title in little over a month when he took down the WPT Maryland at Live! Casino Main Event.
Half a dozen of the most liberal pros in the poker world found themselves under attack by the rapper Talib Kweli, who seemed hell-bent on calling everybody a racist.
The 30% or more plunge in the price of cryptocurrency Bitcoin from its $20K high has been mainly met by amusement rather than dread by the top pros.
What started off as somebody pointing out a factual inaccuracy on Twitter has led to one of the biggest social media storms of the year.
It seems that the pros and recs have vastly different ideas of what should or should not be done.
The idea that poker players are always looking for an angle never looked truer
