Event #16: $2,200 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller is in the books after two days of play and poker pro Max Young is the winner for $100,234. This is his seventh World Series of Poker Circuit ring, and it has been over three years since his last win. “It feels really, really good,” said Young. “This is pulling me out of the worst downswing I’ve ever been in. It’s just been crazy.”
Despite the downswing, Young has been working on his game like many others. “I’ve been studying with Chip Leader Coaching and Joe McKeehen’s my coach, he’s been helping me a lot, especially with sizing and stuff. Just getting some new perspective, so that’s been great,” explained Young.
In thinking about his downswing, some advice he would have for others in his position is “pace yourself, take breaks and don’t beat up on yourself if you lose a bunch in a row. Take a step back, look at it and say ‘am I really making mistakes or getting unlucky, or is it some combination of the two?’ Come back fresh,” suggested Young.
Now that the seven-time WSOP Circuit champion has pulled himself out of this downswing, his only goal is to keep making money.
