This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we’re coming to you straight from the felt at Gila River Lone Butte, and the energy is unreal.

Elle and I are joined at the table by Brownie, a Lone Butte regular, as we soak in what has been an incredible trip filled with great tournaments, even better people, and a poker room that’s been buzzing from start to finish. We share some of our favorite moments from the stop, talk about what’s made this series so special, and why this place has quickly become a favorite for the players.

We also hit the latest headlines in the poker world and hand out a round of shoutouts to members of the A-Team who’ve been making waves.

In Call the Floor, Elliott breaks down a chaotic situation where a drunk player’s chip stack collapses into the pot, forcing the floor to step in and reconstruct the action. It’s messy, it’s confusing, and it’s exactly why procedures matter.

Then it’s time for Hand of the Week as Patrick and I dive into a tricky spot holding AQ suited—one of those hands that looks pretty but can get you into trouble fast.

I wrap things up with Joe’s One Outer, where I talk about something deeper than strategy—the danger of tying your identity to your poker results, and why separating who you are from how you’re running might be the most important move you ever make.

It’s a packed episode from the road—don’t miss it.
