Will Jaffe drifted off in a Delaware hotel room last night, full of Hot Pockets and Miller Lite.

He was in the First State to play some cards, and in between hands, he scrolled through countless Twitter posts composed by players here at the PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC) in the Bahamas.
Did Jaffe secretly wish he was one of them? Or was he truly never happier to be in Delaware?
Never been happier to be in Deleware https://t.co/WrjJCTI83C

This morning, we found out.
AN HONEST MISTAKE
Will Jaffe, who goes by @dankness3 on Twitter, is a poker grinder who won a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2012 for $500K.
Heās known for his ātough conversationsā, a series of tongue-in-cheek monologues calling out people in the poker industry.
Hereās an example:

The thing is, he recently had one with PokerStars.
It turns out that someone in the PokerStars social media team had accidentally blocked Jaffe on Twitter. Jaffe raised the issue and was swiftly unblocked. An apology was offered, and everyone moved on. Kind of.
Jaffe just had one ambitious requestā¦a Platinum Pass.

Incredibly, Jaffeās tough conversation worked and PokerStars asked Benj āSpraggyā Spragg to inform him of the good news.
The Team Pro did so through gritted teeth.
Is this real?? Letās fucking goooo!!!!! https://t.co/q8r7Bk9GxB

“If it was up to me, this would not be happening”
āI think you knew eventually that this video was coming,ā Spraggy says.
āThis week you were on [Twitter] and were blocked by PokerStarsāan honest mistake, from what Iām toldāand you start throwing your toys out of your pram. Cāmon, you know youāre better than that.
āIām down here in the Bahamas at the PokerStars Players Championship, trying to gambleāwhich I know you loveāand Iāve got to make a video for you.


Spraggy’s having a swell time at the PCA/PSPC
āThe powers at be at PokerStarsāand trust me when I say this, if it was up to me, this would not be happeningāthey say if you can get to the Bahamas in the next day or so, we have a Platinum Pass for you.
āI’ll even buy you a beer when you get here. Unbelievable.ā
So, Will Jaffe now has just a couple of days to make the necessary arrangements and find his way to the Caribbean.
Awaiting him will be a hotel room, expenses, and entry to the biggest $25K tournament of all time.
Oh, and Spraggy with a cold bottle of Kalik.
The $25,000 buy-in PSPC begins on Monday, January 30.
Weāre going to the Bahamas baby
