The $5 million ClubWPT Gold Invitational Freeroll final table kicked off Sunday afternoon at Wynn Las Vegas, and the winner will take home $1 million. One of the final nine players still in contention is StakeKings CEO Tyler Hancock, who spoke with PokerNewsprior to the start of play.
Hancock lives in the Phoenix, Arizona area and has plenty of experience playing poker. He's produced nearly $470,000 in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob, which includes a 63rd place finish for $116,963 in the 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. But, as he explained, he has more on his plate than just playing poker.
"I don't get to play much at Talking Stick (casino in Phoenix), I'm mostly working, but I'll play some of the bigger tournaments, I'll play cash games. Occasionally they'll do some private games that are higher stakes that I'll play those," Hancock said.
Hancock isn't just occupied with growing the StakeKings poker staking platform. He has two kids at home that keep him busy.
Why StakeKings?
The CEO showed up at Wynn for the final table decked out in StakeKings gear. He's passionate about the company he represents, and he told us what drew him to the poker staking platform in the first place.
"I was buying action and selling action and was having issues collecting from players," Hancock explained. "That whole side of the industry, the private staking gets a little messy. So, we wanted to make that more accessible to fans, and then also make it safer for fans to buy pieces of people, whether it's friends or family, so StakeKings makes that possible."
StakeKings does make it possible — and safe — for poker fans to buy action, whether it be a friend, sibling, or one of their favorite poker players. Winning the record-setting freeroll would certainly, as Hancock agrees, make for some valuable free marketing for his business.
The final table livestream on the World Poker Tour's YouTube channel began at around 5 p.m. on Sunday. Hancock began the session with a middling stack, and this isn't your ordinary final table. The pay jumps are extreme. Ninth place pays $20,000, an epic payout for a free-to-play tournament. But there's a $980,000 gap between last and first at the final table.
First place pays $1 million, which is four times the payout of second place ($250,000). The tournament didn't cost anything to enter, so ninth place money is welcomed, but Hancock admits that coming up short of the massive paydays would "feel like a missed opportunity." But, he said he's "lucky to even make it this far."
The $5 million freeroll will play down to a winner on Sunday. PokerNewswill have a recap of the action following its conclusion.

- When a player successfully melds every card in their hand, the round is over, and points are awarded according to the number of unmelded cards in the opponents' hands. As you advance in your Rummy journey, becoming familiar with these fundamental components will pave the way for more complex strategic considerations. One crucial Rummy skill that can greatly increase your winnings is card counting. Although it might not be as simple as in games like blackjack, where certain cards have predetermined values, knowing which cards have been played can give you important information about your opponents' hands. You can make better decisions about which cards to draw or discard if you keep track of which cards have been discarded and which are still in play. 24-12-26
- When used skillfully, jokers and wild cards can change the rules of Rummy by enabling you to make winning combinations that might not be possible otherwise. Effective hand control is essential for rummy success. Regularly evaluating your hand and identifying the cards that are most useful for creating melds is crucial while playing. 24-12-26

- You can quickly determine which combinations are possible & which ones might require more effort by organizing the cards according to suit or rank. In addition to making decision-making easier, this arrangement makes it easier for you to adjust when new cards are drawn or discarded during the game. In rummy strategy, one of the most important decisions is whether to discard or hold onto a card. While holding onto cards for too long can result in needless point penalties if they are still unmelded at the end of the round, discarding too quickly can give your opponents important chances to finish their hands. 24-12-26
- It is crucial to take a balanced approach; before choosing a card, always think about how it will fit into your larger plan. Consider a card's possible value in relation to your hand and your opponents' hands when deciding whether to discard or hold onto it. Let go of a card if you have several options for melding but it doesn't seem like it will make a significant contribution. On the other hand, holding onto a card you've drawn could keep your opponent from succeeding if you believe they are about to finish their hand with it. 24-12-26
- Players frequently make the mistake of hoarding too many high-point cards in an attempt to finish a set or sequence, but this can backfire if an opponent goes out before you can meld them. Rather, discard cards that are unlikely to help your winning strategy in order to reduce the point value of unmelded cards. You might also want to arrange your hand so that it is easy to see possible melds. 24-12-26
