Poker Fan Loses Job, Twitch Streamer Gifts Him WSOP Main Event Package
Last month, Lukas "RobinPoker" Robinson provided a random act of kindness during a WSOP Main Event satellite at Aspers Casino in London via GGPoker and LADbible. The poker pro, despite taking down the six-player tournament, gifted the trip to Las Vegas to his heads-up opponent, Ryan Osman, who had recently lost his job.
Today, Osman is trying to make the most of the gift as he is in action here on Day 1d.
Last month, LADbible hosted a OnlyHands Community Facebook group meet-up live event where four qualifiers would compete against Robinson and UFC star Paddy Pimblett. The winner would receive a travel package to Las Vegas next month and a seat in the WSOP Main Event, which begins November 4 at the Rio courtesy of GGPoker.
Robinson and Osman ended up heads-up for the trip, which is valued at $15,000 (travel expenses plus the $10,000 seat). The poker pro won the tournament and was all set to collect the victory prize. But then he decided to instead gift it to his opponent, who had fallen on some hard times.
