Global Danny student and college baseball player shares how a simple “buy-in for $1 per 10 followers” poker challenge on short-form social media blew up overnight—growing his account from 5K to over 40K followers in just two weeks. Riding that momentum, he scaled from $5/$5 cash games to $10K buy-ins on Hustler Casino Live, sold action, and even booked a $6,000 televised win, all while juggling classes, team practices, and late-night trips to the casino.

In this candid conversation, he reflects on balancing school, sports, and a fast-moving poker career, the importance of smart bankroll management, and the behind-the-scenes reality of creating viral content. From quick brand deals and WSOP success to forging a sustainable path in high-stakes poker, he reveals how one viral series completely changed his life—and why he’s still finishing that last semester of college.
