Rayan Chamas, better known as online streamer ‘Beriuzy,’ has a message so clear for Wednesday’s WPT Seminole Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open final table that he made it one of his online poker screen names – ‘WinWPTthistime.’
Rayan Chamas is intent on righting some wrongs and avenging his previous best second-place finish at a WPT final table on Wednesday. For much of 2020 and early 2021, the only way to win a World Poker Tour title was online. The final such event during that stretch, WPT Montreal Online, took place in mid-January on partypoker, and when it got down to heads-up play it was Rayan Chamas against Jack Hardcastle for the title and $447,859.

“One of my screen names, after I finished second, is literally ‘WinWPTthistime,’” said Chamas. “The reason for that is because when I made second in that in 2021, I played really badly heads up and I made a lot of mistakes. I actually misclicked a few times, and I’ll never forget it. And I’m friends with the guy that won, and he keeps needling me all the time.”
Chamas’ run in this tournament is, in his mind, a path towards balancing out that sour taste. To become a WPT champion, he’ll have to outlast five tough contenders , including online standout and chip leader Istvan Briski , WPT Champions Club member Darryll Fish , and old-school standout Fred Goldberg .
“This is a really tough final table,” said Chamas. “Not only are they very good, but they have extremely different styles. You have one of the best players online, the current chip leader, then you have some people that I watched on TV many, many […]
