Fintan Hand makes a huge misclick on Twitch
We recap some stories you may have missed including The Poker Masters and you can now delete your Hendon Mob profile.
A very costly misclick
The Twitch moment of the weekend had to be a huge misclick from Fintan Hand, which was 100 times more costly than anticipated.
While streaming WCOOP he thought he was registering for the $5 rebuy event but accidentally registered for the $530 rebuy, an event which by his reckoning was arguably the one of the toughest on the schedule.
He put up a spirited performance, coming 188th, and has learned an invaluable lesson about using filters in the tournament lobby.
Hendon Mob changes privacy settings
While for the most part a player's Hendon Mob profile was something they wanted to show off whenever they had a big score (or a flag in a new country) not everyone wants to have their live poker results readily available.
Now for the first time the site is allowing players to opt out of the results database and have their profile deleted or renamed to a nickname. This is in response to European Union General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) introduced this year.
The information on the Hendon Mob is not 'scraped' like it is on websites that track online poker results and in every instance has previously been made public by the casino hosting the events in the database, which had been agreed to by the players when they registered for the tournament. It will not be a huge surprise to see a number of successful players opting out for tax reasons.
Adams crushing The Poker Masters
While the online grinders are WCOOP-ing, the Super High Rollers are back playing the second season of PokerGO's Poker Masters.
The High Roller series that awards the now infamous 'Purple Jacket' has already concluded two events, with David Peters winning the $10,000 event to continue his remarkable 2018 run for $193,200.
However, the man to beat right now is Brandon Adams who not only made the final table of the first event, he won the second event (with a $25,000 buy-in) for $400,000.
That puts him firmly in the lead for the series, but there are a lot of events between now and that jacket being awarded.
Brandon @badams78 Adams makes back-to-back final tables and books his first #PokerMasters win of 2018! Takes down Event 2 for $400K and now has the Purple Jacket lead!

Lex goes nuts
It wasn't just Fintan Hand who had problems during his stream, last week Lex Veldhuis had some technical issues with his PC which meant he could only fold or shove his hands, which led to this....
