Jared ��BeamDoctorPoker�� Halter Streams PokerStars Platinum Pass Invitational Victory

Level 32 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jared Halter
Jared Halter

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) is happening now, and later this month the PokerStars Players NLH Hold��em Championship (PSPC) will take place January 30-February 3. One man who will be heading to the Bahamas is 41-year-old Jared ��BeamDoctorPoker�� Halter, who won a Platinum Pass on PokerStars Michigan.

��I won a PSPC Platinum Pass on Wednesday, November 9,�� Halter told PokerNews. ��I had just returned from Vegas that morning on a red eye flight and slept for four hours on a friend��s couch before I drove home for two hours. To be honest, I was very fortunate to win because I had a very rough 72 hours. Some things happened in Vegas that caused me to have anxiety attacks for the first time in my life and I ended up only sleeping about five hours total in the previous 48.��

He continued: ��I was exhausted and when the MTT started, I said to myself, it will take a miracle for me to win. Funny enough, I mis-clicked two different times early in the tourney and called three-bets with hands like 85o (I did not win those hands). I streamed the tourney, and only single tabled it, because of how tired and ungrounded I felt from the previous time. During the stream, I talked about how exhausted I was and how there was almost zero chance I win. Of course, as we know, the universe had a different plan.��
