Been watching you, since almost the beginning (but, have seen every vlog). You've ALWAYS been a class act, but your decision to be with your family? (I'm sure you thought it thru....( do I stay and win one, for Dad, things like that)...... THAT was a class act! As your Dad looked down, from above, I think he would be proud of you, and realized "I raised my boy right!" But, to STILL make the money.... WAY COOL!

I think I speak for your whole fan base when I say, its been a blast watching you absolutely kill it. Watching you start out playing small casino tables, to you playing 90k pots with the biggest legends in the game. Here's to many more successful years to come! I hope I get to see you on the tables my self one day.

My heart goes out to you for your loss, Brad. Takes courage to share that, and after the Rounder's clip I was in tears. I hope you find some peace these next few months

Brad, I've been watching your channel for a long time. I've never left a comment on your video but I just wanted to say that you have left a positive impact on my life with the content that you share with us. All the cash games, tournaments, and meet up games have all led up to this very important part of your poker career and it brings so much joy to see you succeed and play with some of the best poker players that you grew up idolizing. It's a dream that many of us have that you absolutely deserve to experience. Very sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. It must be tough going through that and we respect you sharing that detail about your life with us. I just about teared up when you said that one of the last conversations you had with him was when you shared this amazing poker experience with him before his passing. I'm sure there wasn't a single dad out there that was more proud of their son than yours. The fact that he lived to see his son fulfill his dreams makes me think that he left this world peacefully. I'm very happy I stumbled upon your channel all those years ago, and the amazing impact you had on my life as well as countless others wouldn't have happened if it weren't for your dad. We as a community are so grateful for him and to you as well. Cheers to the legend, Mr. Owen

Brad, you know how much everyone here loves and supports you. I wouldn’t be as into poker as I am if it wasn’t for you. My condolences to your family

My Deepest condolences to you Brad and your family. I’ve watched those occasions where your dad came to support you in your Vlog by making a cameo. I am proud of how you’ve grown in your talent and have inspired and continue to learn from you as well. Thank you for showing the world what a real man is that family is first of all things in love no matter what. Keep being your genuine self Brad. The world sees this.

My heart goes out to you, Brad. Losing your Dad as you sit in the largest game of your career is a horrible roller coaster for you. May your memories of your Dad be far greater than the game of poker. Just know that he is sitting next to you in future games watching over you. God bless, Brad.

This is without question the best poker vlog of all time. All the emotions. So sorry for your loss Brad. Sending prayers to you and your family.

Brad, I love what you're doing for the poker community. Bringing all of us along for the ride has been incredible. I think what makes it so great is how humble and honest you are. There are a lot of big egos in poker, and it's very refreshing to have someone call it like it is. Congrats on all your future success and our most sincerest condolences on your father's passing.

This was quite possibly the best poker vlog I’ve watched. 30 minutes of pure joy. Sorry to hear about your fathers passing. Prayers your way and may you continue winning

Absolute chills at the end. I believe your next big score is around the corner. Keep up the great work, Brad. Amazing to see your growth.

My condolences on your Dad’s passing. And congratulations on the cash game win! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Got to admit…was perfectly fine loving this blog as always…and the last few minutes discussing your dad hit me hard. Very sorry for your loss Brad to both you and your family. Awesome though to hear you got to share this info with your dad and that was one of your last conversations….stay strong and keep up the great work as always!

Congrats Brad on having a great session and winning with Ivey on your left. I’m sure that’ll be one to remember. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Hope you keep up the great work and keep kicking ass throughout the rest of the year 👊🏻

My deepest condolences Brad, but I'm so happy that you were lucky enough to have had the last conversation with your father be about an event that must have been so important to you. I'm sure he's able to rest peacefully knowing how proud you've made him as the person you've grown into. I attended a funeral for my grandmother today, who was like a mother to me and passed just last week. It's hard, but there's nothing like memories of the wonderful people that they were and the times that they've shared with others to help find peace within. All the best, you deserve it and more.

Wow, what a bittersweet video. So glad you got the opportunity and well played. What a lovely thing to share with your Dad before he passed. So sorry for your loss.

You're such a stand up guy. Love this win for you and I absolutely cannot express how much my heart goes out to you on your father's passing. Leaving that tournament was definitely a turning point because you chose your family over (potentially) a lot of money and that was definitely the right decision and it's one that you won't regret! Your big-time tournament score is coming!

It was a blast to see you play with Phil Ivey brad. I realised that I was smiling through out the video seeing you taking pots. Sorry for your loss. Our prayers to your family. LOVE FROM INDIA

Hard to express how happy I am for Brad doing so amazing in such a big game, and how excited I am to see such coverage of an event that brings my favorite poker AND chess players together! Been a poker player for decades now but chess is a recent passion so it's awesome to see these two worlds colliding. Phil, Brad, and every poker player should be very afraid if Magnus starts taking the game seriously. Though chess and poker are two very different games the intellectual skills that makes Magnus dominant in chess could easily make him dominant at poker if he put in the work to learn it.

Absolute fantastic vlog. From the set up, to the unfolding of the session, and the beautiful tribute to your dad at the end. You're doing fantastically well, keep pushing Brad! And remember to give action on the streamed games if you want the invite to the private games, where the real money is. Wish you the best!

Man, I remember first watching you when you just started and how much you improved since then. Keep up the great vlogs and best of luck at the tables!

My condolences, Brad. That was a genuinely touching tribute to your father. He sounds like he was a great dad.

Great content Brad. So happy to see you in this game!!! Awesome to help promote the wonderful game we all love. Keep crushing the vlogs!

I got chills from the rounders quote , sorry to hear about your dad passing but I’m sure he’s as proud as can be to hear you’ve made it big in the poker scene. My condolences and best wishes

Such an interesting behind the scenes look at the high stakes poker world. Great video Brad. I lost my mom unexpectedly last year at 63 so can imagine how hard that hits. The fact that you were sharing your highs and lows with your dad right up until the end sounds like y’all had a great relationship and I’m sure it made him super happy and proud to see your growth this whole time! When I look back on the time I did have with my mom, I’m just glad that she knew I loved her before she passed away. That’s all that matters.

been following your vlog since day 1 and it is inspiring for us to see you playing from low-stakes NLH up till now. RIP to your dad, your dad is proud of you and so are we... Keep grinding Brad! Fan from Singapore.

The ending gave me goosebumps! Keep up the great work Brad! Your dad is definitely proud and still is watching!!

My condolences, Brad. I'm sorry for your loss. Stay strong and I look forward to watching the rest of your poker career! Firm handshakes, mate! :)

My brotha Brad!!! You're living many of our dreams and it's been an absolute pleasure watching you grow and become as good of a player as you always wanted to be (and growing!)... Day by day. Not to mention the great clips of your subtle humor in skits and at award shows. Quite simply you bring joy to so many, especially on top of your studied play stylings! As a "following" friend I just wanted to say how much love I'm sending your way with your father passing and all. My father passed away young as well, and as hard as it is, I can tell he did a great job with you... Similar to myself, I would never trade my father being alive now if I had to change ANY of our amazing memories/lessons/life together. Just want to say, ALL the love to you and your fam and keep on being, well, simply YOU. Never doubt yourself and as my Pops said often, "if you can laugh, you can cry, just be you and enjoy the ride"! 🙌😌💯
