Yeah, that headline must be quite dumbfounding but it is really true. Steven Markowitz also known as Hoodie Allen is an American rapper, singer and songwriter from Plainview, New York who had participated in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2023 Main Event.
Allen had qualified for Day 3 via 2abc and many expected that he would turn things around. But wait before he could do that, the Buddy singer abandoned his stack for a reason we don’t feel was plausible.
Yes, we know, it is Allen’s stack and he can do whatever he feels appropriate. But, come on people, it’s the WSOP 2023 ME. Allen left his stack to attend a friend’s wedding. A WEDDING!

During the last level of Day 2abc of the WSOP 2023 ME, Allen got up and left, leaving many around wondering if he was planning on resuming or just leaving things unattended.
Can we just say that a friend’s wedding is important but WSOP 2023 ME stacks being abandoned during the last level will make many people wonder about your dedication to the game.
Yes, he did. He tweeted about making it back in time for Day 3. Many well-known pros busted before they could see the light of the day on Day 3, and here we have Allen who got up and left and survived to make Day 3. Talk about having the blessing of the poker gods.

The American rapper came back but did not survive long on Day 3. He was dealt pocket aces; but did that help get a double up or a spin? Hell no! Allen’s Pocket Rockets were brutally cracked by his rival who had the Big Slick.
On the fourth hand of Day 3, Allen who had collaborated with the Shape of You singer, Ed Sheeran for a song called All About It, was all-in and needed a spin (he had the cards for it).
But pocket aces failed when the board opened J♦3♥Q♣2♠10♠. Allen’s opponent hit a straight on the river and survived ahead and left him to wrap up for the day. Guess what the rapper did next?
well this is pretty soul crushing
all in preflop with AA he jammed w AK

Of course he tweeted about it. The 34-year-old pop rap star mentioned in his tweet that his bust out will hurt for a bit as he really cared about it. But then when you cared so much, why abandon the stack and get blinded?
this one might hurt for a while
i guess i really fucking cared
