Live reporting a poker tournament is often a thankless job comprised of long hours. Like the players, reporters are subject to the tournament clock, albeit with fewer breaks, arriving earlier and leaving later than everyone else. Many do it because their passion for the game is so strong. Sure, most would rather be playing, but few can actually afford the buy-in.

That’s no longer the case for former PokerNews reporter turned poker pro Tyler Warken. The 29-year-old Canadian was one of more than 200 players to compete on Day 1b of the CAD $3,500 buy-in, CAD $1.5 million GTD World Poker Tour (WPT) Playground Championship.
