Episode 68 - Bryan "Devo" Devonshire

Poker’s all about highs, lows, and comebacks—and Bryan "Devo" Devonshire has lived them all.

He started flipping Magic: The Gathering cards, sneaking into Commerce Casino at 19, and propping in a mining town poker game just to get action. Then, he ran deep in the WSOP Main Event—twice.

But poker isn’t just about winning. After a 12th-place finish in the Main Event, Devo hit a brutal 21-month downswing, lost nearly everything, and had to walk away from the game.

So what did he do? Left Vegas. Moved to Colorado. Built himself back up. And in 2014, he ran deep in the WSOP again.

Now? He’s living in Terlingua, Texas, running a burlesque comedy show, crushing DFS, and still wondering... is another Main Event run in his future?

🎧 In this episode, we dive into:

✔️ From flipping Magic cards to flipping stacks at the WSOP
✔️ Why playing in a mining town wasn’t the poker dream
✔️ What it’s like to finish 12th in the Main Event, then go nearly broke
✔️ How he climbed back, made another deep run, and then walked away
✔️ His new life in Texas—comedy, DFS, and maybe, just maybe, another shot at the WSOP
