Conrad "iamnotblack" Simpson Grinding Online from the Hot Tub
Last December, Conrad "iamnotblack" Simpson topped a field of 96 runners to win the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Las Vegas Event #13: $400 Mixed PLO/NLH 8-Handed for a career-high $8,978 and his first gold ring.
It was a breakout win for the grinder, who the day before watched his friend and roommate, Corey Paggeot, win a ring of his own.
"I love PLO. I play hold'em for the most part, but I like PLO. It's fun." said Simpson, who does video work for Matt Berkey's Solve for Why.
Simpson, who was kind enough to send us these photos of him grinding from the hot tub, is off to a good start in this tournament currently sitting second in chips. He is looking for his second cash of the series after having finished in 106th place in Event #1: $500 NLH Kickoff, good for $1,080.

Can Iowa's Matthew “Michmeister” Mich Go Four for Four?
At the beginning of the month, Iowa's Matthew "Michmeister" Mich had just $3,344 in live tournament earnings, nearly half of which came from two small WSOP cashes, one in 2018 and the other in 2019.
What those paltry numbers don't reveal is his experience and success online, which has been on display here in the 2020 WSOP online bracelet events as he's cashed in all three events thus far. It started when he took 19th in Event #1: $500 NLH Kickoff, and on Thursday he final tabled Event #2: $1,000 NLH 8-Handed Deepstack for $15,628. In Event #3: $400 NLH, he placed 298th for a $602.20 min-cash.
Mich, a former poker dealer, traveled to Las Vegas with Taylor Howard, a Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) champ who finished in 26th place in the aforementioned kickoff event.
"He was only planning on being out here a couple weeks, but now I think he might stay with me and chase the leaderboard," Howard said of his friend.
Mich, one of the breakout performers of the online series thus far, is in action today looking to go four for four.

Jamie "DanBilzerian" Kerstetter Looking for First WSOP Gold Bracelet
If you don't follow poker pro and commentator Jamie Kerstetter on Twitter, you probably should. Her tweets @JamieKerstetter are legendary and among the funniest in the industry, so much so that she won "Twitter Personality of the Year" at the 2nd Annual Global Poker Awards earlier this year.
Since 2009, Kerstetter has amassed $682,314 in live tournament earnings, including a career-best $44,937 for finishing 12th in the 2012 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship Event. An attorney by trade, Kerstetter is well known for her commentary abilities. She's been featured alongside Lon McEachern and Norman Chad during ESPN broadcasts of the World Series of Poker, and currently co-hosts "The Rake" podcast alongside Marle Cordeiro. For several years she was also a co-host of the now-defunct LFG Podcast on PokerNews.
The New Jersey native actually resides in Las Vegas now, and she's on the bracelet grind. Kerstetter, who is off to a rough start in this tournament with about half starting stack, was kind enough to send us a photo of her set up.
