In our 888 Poker Spotlight, bracelet winner Matt Grapenthien discusses the Seven-Card Stud Championship event at the World Series of Poker.  

The man they call "Grapes" won this $10,000 buyin tournament in 2014, and finished in second place in 2016.  He talks to Jeff Platt about what those runs were like, and what they did to enhance his confidence as a poker player.  

This tournament draws some of poker's superstars, which Grapenthien says makes the whole experience more enjoyable.  

Grapenthien and Platt also discuss how more mixed games streamed at the World Series of Poker can help seven-card stud moving forward.
