Brad Owen has weighed in on the ongoing Lodge Card Club situation with a brief but notable post, telling followers he has shared "the latest" but is "not in a position to share much more." The statement adds to a growing thread of public commentary around the Austin-based poker room that Owen co-owns with Doug Polk.
Here's the latest on the Lodge situation. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to share much more.

The Lodge Card Club has been a focal point of poker industry discussion in 2026, with questions around its operations, staffing, and future direction generating significant attention across social media and poker forums. Owen's measured response suggests legal or business considerations are limiting what the co-owners can say publicly.
Owen also dropped a new vlog covering his recent $5K PokerGo tournament experience, where he survived what commentator Mike28 called "the sickest hand he's ever seen" - a four-way set over set. The combination of vlog content and Lodge updates has kept Owen at the center of poker's social media conversation this week.
For now, the poker community is left reading between the lines. Owen's acknowledgment that something is happening - paired with his inability to elaborate - suggests developments are ongoing behind the scenes at one of America's most-watched poker rooms.
