00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,560
Hello, everyone, Welcome back to
a brand new episode of the Poker Goat

2
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,440
Podcast. My name is Donna Peters. His name is Tim Duckworth. The

3
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:27,079
final table of the twenty twenty four
World Series of Poker Main Event has been

4
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:35,280
reached ten thousand, one hundred and
twelve hopefuls, dreamers, players, amateurs,

5
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,560
pros rex whatever you want to call
them, however you want to classify

6
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,200
them. That's how many started a
record breaking field and we have nine players

7
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:50,159
remaining. What a day it was. Jordan griff is up on top of

8
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,200
them. All boy, did he
have a day. We'll tell you about

9
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,399
that. We're going to get into
kind of everything that happened on day eight,

10
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:07,120
eating into the final nine. Everyone
left guaranteed one million big old buckeroos

11
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,439
ten million dollars up top? What
are you doing? I had to sniff

12
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,159
so so you instead of sniffing away
from the microphone, Tim's Tim was away

13
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,599
from the microphone, moved to the
microphone like he was about to speak,

14
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:23,359
and then did nothing but sniff.
Incredible stuff. Rich Ryan is somewhere throwing

15
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,920
things. I mean he's not He's
sick right now, God bless him.

16
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,480
You might not even edit this podcast
he's gonna edit this podcast. Rich.

17
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,879
Yeah, you know, I want
to know why, because Rich has more

18
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:37,840
heart for them than you do.
And Rich is out of poker and he

19
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:41,519
has more heart for it than you. No. I recorded our little intro

20
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:44,480
and I'm gonna send it into the
group chat to tell to show people what

21
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:48,519
I have to deal with every single
day. Listen, just match half my

22
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,599
energy, please half you don't jesus, Yeah, the best part of the

23
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,680
day, The part of the day. Where is this energy? The best

24
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,040
part of the day. My energy
bounces between really pissed off at everything and

25
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:07,200
super pumped up that this is happening. Also right now, also right now,

26
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,560
somewhat depressed that it's all kind of
ending because we only got a few

27
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:14,960
days left and the military is the
poker is the best. So anyway down

28
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,919
to the WSP main Event final table, that's what we're going to be hitting

29
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,560
on during this episode. We got
a few different interviews that we're gonna play

30
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,199
with your combination of some of the
stuff that I got at the end of

31
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:28,039
the day because Tim didn't get anything, of course, and nothing. I'm

32
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,560
just standing there watching you get interviews. I guess. Listen, there are

33
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,800
nine thousand other people that can count
chips here, okay and write them on

34
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,159
a piece of paper. There is
one other person besides me who can go

35
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,599
up there and interview someone, and
that is you. Okay, So prioritize

36
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:47,159
correctly. Okay, that's what you
gotta do. I'm just saying. I'm

37
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,520
just saying I had to do commentary, yet I was still out there doing

38
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,360
interviews. You sometimes you got a
double dip. Okay, that's just the

39
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:58,199
job, all right. Today is
when you guys are listening to This is

40
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Monday, July fifteenth. It's gonna
be the day off of the WSP Made

41
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,280
event. There will be other tournaments
going on, So Tim and I will

42
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,080
be here working. We'll have a
pot at the end of the night,

43
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,159
all that good stuff. Look,
he's giving me a face. Now I'll

44
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:12,639
do it myself. Then I don't
do it. Last year, I was

45
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:15,159
mad. You remember what happened last
year. I was like, are you

46
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:16,159
gonna go in? You like probably
not, will say, well, let

47
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,680
me know, come in, we'll
do some interviews and then we'll record.

48
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,280
And then you just went and did
it yourself and didn't tell me. I

49
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:23,599
went to the movies that day.
That would mean actually one of the movies

50
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,120
that came in light. I mean, listen playing for a bracelet for some

51
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,840
For people like me, okay,

yesterday said we tried to stick a
churro in him or something. I was

87
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,680
I was dying, dying, dying, dying, and excited about the mess

88
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,480
Mexican player, which made it?
Let's do six to sixty guy picking number

89

Why it just it just sounds like
a horrible number. Fifty nine. It's

92
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,680
a dumb number. Okay, Let's
go sixty one to ninety four eighty eight.

93
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,279
Is that a lucky number? Wow, you're talking to an Asian man,

94
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,720

Okay, let's start with from the
top, working way through to get

111
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:41,680
down to nine. Yeah, I'm
just kind of giving me a feeling.

112
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:44,399
I be pretty busy today. Do
I feel like whatever? I decide to

113
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:46,959

115
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:57,000
seven dis Rica, No, no, Helm, We're definitely not doing that,

116
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,439
bro. We started the day with
eighteen players remaining. They were all

117
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,319
guaranteed three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Oh wow, I made the Poker

118
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:11,399
News blog my tweet. I tweet
this every single year, every single year.

119
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:16,279
Around every single year, like at
some point either right before like the

120
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,319
day before. Yeah, it's the
final video and the guy's in the cab.

121
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:22,439
He's like we're you're headed and he's
like Las Vegas and he's like,

122
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,319
good luck, you know, and
then they then the monologue. Yeah yeah,

123
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,759
it's like they still think it's luck. That should be pretty cool,

124
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:31,759
you known. Have there's like a
TV like they kind of set up the

125
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,039
stage out here with all the chairs
and the projection. Tomorrow would be a

126
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960
cool round this day. Put rounda
is on the big screen. Everyone sits

127
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,639
here and watches it. No Lucky
year instead, Sure, do whatever you

128
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,720
want. I'll set it up two
pm. So eighteen players remain. They're

129
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,399
all guaranteed three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. There's one hundred thousand dollars pay

130
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,559
jump for the first elimination. Seventeenth
players got four hundred and fifty four hundred

131
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,000
dollars. So Jordan Griff, if
you remember what I said, I said

132
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,639
Jordan Griff was leading the way.
Okay, pretty big, Chipley too.

133
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,240
We'll go over that when we get
to it, but we're gonna kind of

134
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,360
take us through the day. On
the first hand of the day, he

135
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:20,559
doubles up in a wild fashion,
so he raised to six point three million.

136
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:24,159
With the big blind at eight hundred
k they were playing four eight hundred

137
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,679
thousand, so he makes it six
point three million. From early position.

138
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:33,480
He has two million behind first hand
of the day. Okay, Jesse Bryant,

139
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,240
the man in the gilly suit,
the sniper outfit, who you know

140
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,039
half the time, let's go a
gilly suit. I'm pretty sure yes,

141
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:43,519
half the time. I couldn't see
him. Half the time I could,

142
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:46,679
depending on whether he was wearing it
or not. He called from the next

143
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,960
seat. Everyone else folds. The
flop comes ace ten to three. The

144
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,480
final chips get into the middle.
Griff is the player at risk Brian has

145
00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:01,519
him covered. Griff has two queens
again, Ace ten three, Bryant has

146
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:11,480
pocket threes flopped bottom set, Turn
eight River Queen out of absolutely nowhere,

147
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:18,440
a queen from the heavens above spikes
down and gives Griff the double up.

148
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,159
So there was that. So that
that took Jesse Bryant from I think about

149
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:33,360
twenty seven million down to nineteen.
Then so there's that big hand with Griff.

150
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:37,279
You know obviously that that like obviously
keeps him in the tournament. Throughout

151
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,960
the day he continues to just like
run it up. But then there was

152
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:46,960
a big hand with Boris Anglov and
Jesse Bryant. Now this is I don't

153
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,840
I don't exactly know exactly what Bryant
was doing on these two hands. So

154
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,159
that is what it is. Like
the threes, I think I probably just

155
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120
put that in the bin. I
mean, I know it's I know,

156
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,639
he's got just over ten big blinds. It's like ten and a half big

157
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:07,960
lines. But if the positions are
correct, and Griff is an early position

158
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,919
and then Brian was the seat next
to him, I mean, there's still

159
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:13,799
a lot of action behind you.
You only have threes, I mean,

160
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:20,279
I'm probably just putting threes in the
muck. So shortly thereafter, Mallow Latinois

161
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,320
raised to one point six million,
still playing the same level four thousand and

162
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,200
eight hundred thousand. So Latinoah makes
it one point six from early position.

163
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:35,919
Gabrielle Mora three bets to four point
five action full. What is this?

164
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,200
No, this is the wrong hand. Why do they do this to me?

165
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,080
Whoever? I'm not going to get
into it. I'm just calm down,

166
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,679
Donnie, calm down. So Latin
Woah, I just want to go

167
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,960
off on these updates all the time. Latin Wah makes it one point six

168
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,399
from under the gun. Jesse Bryant
three bets to five millions. All right,

169
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,360
I'm trying to read this and it's
just it's it's a disaster, Jesse

170
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,840
Jesse Bryant makes it five million on
the button. Boris Angelov Bulgarian four bets

171
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:15,399
all in from the small blind for
eight point seven million. Latin wall Fold

172
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:20,559
is the original raiser. Bryant calls, Brian has deuces. What is happening?

173
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:28,639
Three betting the deuces explosions, Angelov
has kings. The board runs out

174
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:33,960
clean for Angelov's kings, and then
he gets a double up, which now

175
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:37,799
this leaves Brian with ten big lionds. I mean he's just like crushed.

176
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,600
Then it ends up being Gerardo Hernandez. They finally stuck the churro in him

177
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,720
shout out. I mean that's what
all John said on the on the night

178
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,320
Shift. You heard it like it
was the most wild. It was the

179
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,559
wildest shit I've ever heard me on
a T shirt, Theckatura, theicatural.

180
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,200
It should just be like night Shift
and then like have like sane like no

181
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,720
like different sayings that happen. Okay, yes, I agree, I mean

182
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:07,720
it's just wild. Hernandez open jammed
for eleven point four million, and he

183
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:11,200
gets called by Andros Gonzales, so
it's Spain versus Mexico here or sorry,

184
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,759
well Gondalas rejammed. Hernandez has sixes, Gonzalez has ace king. The board

185
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,639
runs out jack jack seven to five
seven, so extra painful because it's a

186
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,799
counterfeit, right, yes, I
mean you wouldn't you just rather just have

187
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,559
them hit the ace or the king. So like it comes jack jack seven

188
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:35,039
and then Queen ten. Yes,
like the counterfeit is just lame. But

189
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,519
anyway, Hernandez goes out in eighteenth
place three hundred and fifty k. Everyone

190
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:46,279
else gets a pay jump of one
one hundred thousand dollars. After that,

191
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,919
Jason Segel was able to move into
the chip lead. Then not too long

192
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,879
after we signed, we finally say
goodbye to our sniper, Jesse Bryant.

193
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,200
He goes out in seventeenth foots.
He opened to another interesting hand played by

194
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,279
him. He opens to two point
three million at four eight hundred thousand,

195
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:13,639
from middle positions to almost three acts. It folds over to Guillermo O'taro in

196
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,039
the big blind. He moves all
in. Brian calls all in for eight

197
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,799
point six million total, so ten
point what what is his ten point seventy

198
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:28,480
five big blinds? Briant has Queen
Jack off, Otaro has Ace King.

199
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,120
It comes ace high, and Brian
is dead on the turn and out the

200
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:41,039
door in seventeenth place. Then not
long after that, Joe Sarraq up on

201
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:43,600
the main feature table. I believe
he was playing. He won a pot

202
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:50,279
to take the chip lead. After
that, Jonathan Tomayo found a couple of

203
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:56,519
aces, he doubled up off Otero. Then it was Sarak extending his lead.

204
00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:01,279
Are you surprised that they didn't do
hand for hand coverage. Yes,

205
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:05,080
am I oh sorry, am I
surprised. No, they didn't do it.

206
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:13,039
So it was basically the day was
like I felt like the main feature

207
00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:16,639
table like had all the chips,
and then the outer table had a lot

208
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:20,159
of chips, but there was also
people with like shorter chips. Yeah,

209
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:22,960
Like at the main feature table was
like everyone had like forty five except for

210
00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:26,080
like one or two people and they
had like thirty. So it wasn't even

211
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,120
that big of a deal. But
up on the main feature table, like

212
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:33,600
you had Nicholas Ostet, like he
took the chip lead, then Kristen Fox

213
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,840
and had the chip lead up there, so so you know that was like

214
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,240
that was like the table where like
the big action was happening, and then

215
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,559
we lose Otero in sixteenth place,
he busted out in I mean kind of

216
00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:50,960
wild fashion where he pushed all in
for under the Gun for seven point six

217
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,120
million. The blinds had gone up
to five hundred thousand and a million.

218
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Jason Segel calls out of the Big
bline with nine to seven trunk and rivers

219
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,200
of seven against Ace Queen. So
that's so that's one way to go,

220
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:10,799
so that you know, some pretty
brutal suckouts there. You saw the counterfeit

221
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,200
one, then you see that one
with Otero. He gets that seven on

222
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,320
the River, missed the hand with
Coela Vessels Fox. What was that just

223
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,320
before the bust out where Fox and
took the chip lead. I said,

224
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,600
well, I said Fox and took
the I didn't rate the hand out.

225
00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:26,960
You know, I'm just I'm kind
of skimming through what happened on the day.

226
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,679
You know, we're not going to
go through everything specifically. If you

227
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,000
want everything specifically, you can go
to popagot dot com and watch the on

228
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:48,200
demand replay right how it did.
Then we lost Jaegor Moreau's in fifteenth place,

229
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,159
and boy, this was a banger
of a pot. So him and

230
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,279
Brian Kim were up on the feature
table sitting right next to each other.

231
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:59,759
I saw some people commenting on social
media how they were basically having a stairfest

232
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,320
NonStop, sitting literally right next to
each other, foot away, just staring

233
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,440
at each other NonStop. On this
hand, blinds are now six hundred thousand

234
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,400
and one point two million moros makes
it two point five from early position.

235
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,160
Next to act is Brian Kim.
He three bets to six point five action

236
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:19,000
folds back to Moro's He moves all
in for thirty three point eight million.

237
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:25,640
He gets snapped off by Kim,
who's got kings. Moros has Jackson.

238
00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:30,680
Here we go seventy million chip pot
and the dubsb made event with fifteen players

239
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,480
remain. No jack comes for Moro's
nothing else out there to help him,

240
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:40,640
and he's out the door in fifteenth
place, four hundred and fifty thousand dollars

241
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,240
for him and Brian Kim shot up
to the chip lead. Eighty eight million

242
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,599
is what he was on. I
mean, not only do we lose Moros,

243
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,759
we lost Israel, which is a
bummer. That was a good thing.

244
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,599
Was one of the best rails we've
had in the lost few years.

245
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,799
I think it was a very strong
Yeah, I think so. I just

246
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,279
I'm trying to kind of remember,
so yeah, I agree. Look,

247
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:10,160
yeah, maybe it's recentcy bias.
Well it's not. I don't think it's

248
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:15,079
recency bias. I think it's that
there were no other rails really, so

249
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,839
they just stood out. You know
what. That's a good point. Yeah,

250
00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:19,119
I do agree with you. Obviously, once we got to the ten,

251
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:23,480
you know, we had a few
more people rolling. But yeah,

252
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:29,160
his rail was deep uneven. I'm
trying to remember if we had some day

253
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,519
six from him. I think we
did, bro we might have had day

254
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:36,160
five. Yeah, I mean him
and Jesse caps hands out number one rail

255
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,839
from the twenty twenty four and they're
also friends, so it kind of makes

256
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:44,039
sense, right, Yeah, But
they were different rails too, because you

257
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:45,920
went out here, you were tucked
away having a nap in the commentary booth.

258
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,200
Yea in the Yego's rail was on
you know, not today, this

259
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:55,319
was yesterday and the day before on
that side of the area of with the

260
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:57,599
gold section. Jesse's rail was on
that side. But definitely you split up

261
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:03,119
rails, so they were very you
know, unique and individualized. Yeah,

262
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,519
so we lose Moros and then so
that that gives Brian Kim the chip lead.

263
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:12,279
Then he extends the chip lead with
a pot off Kristin Foxen. Then

264
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,079
there's a bit of a cooler that
takes place, you know, to be

265
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:22,559
honest with Diogo Coello, the Portuguese
player against Kristin Foxen. And you know,

266
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:29,359
this is one of those hands where
the invention of whole cards like really

267
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,880
puts some twists and turns into it
because so you see the cards and you

268
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:41,319
see Coelo has aces, and then
you know, the next people pick up

269
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,319
their cards, and then you see
Kristen Foxen picks up Kings, and you're

270
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,039
just like, oh shit, Like
if you're at home, and we know,

271
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,799
I think ninety eight percent of the
people watching, we're rooting for Kristen

272
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,880
Foxen. Yeah, you know,
just just in this tournament in general.

273
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,519
So you're like, uh, oh, here comes disaster. She's about to

274
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:04,720
double this guy up. He raises
to two point four so a min raise

275
00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:10,880
in the cutoff with aces. She
defends her big blind with Kings. You

276
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,119
know they could have just got the
money in comes Ace ten to five check

277
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,240
bet. The minimum she calls turn
is an eight, so ace ten five

278
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,359
eight, she checks, He bets
three million, She calls three on the

279
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,759
river, she checks again. Koela
moves all in for six point seven million,

280
00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:33,240
and she folded pretty quickly. But
you know, she could have lost

281
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,160
that remaining six point seven million,
so she saved a little bit there on

282
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:40,720
the end. So it just seemed
immediately like, oh, she's gonna lose

283
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,839
it all, But then you know
she's ultimately saved almost seven million by just

284
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,440
flatting and then you know the way
that the board ran out. Of course,

285
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,799
then we lose Jason James in fourteenth
place. Jason James the winner of

286
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,319
the tag team events close to Espen
George Dad type of run. Yeah,

287
00:20:57,319 --> 00:21:03,039
it was because he won the tag
team event before he went on to win

288
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,319
the WSP Maine event. And Jason
James went out with a couple of tens

289
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,960
up against Joe sih Rock's Ace Queen
board ran out East Queen six eight six,

290
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,839
and we lost James fourteenth place,
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

291
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:27,640
And then it happened we lose Kristen
Foxin in thirteenth place. She did earn

292
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,960
two pay jumps up to six hundred
thousand dollars, but man for me,

293
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:40,839
so I got done with We had
to do commentary today on the online to

294
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,720
live final tables. There were two
of them today. Remco and I were

295
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,519
in the booth doing commentary on those
events. When the first one ended,

296
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,440
I walked out, and it was
right when Kristin got eliminated, and it

297
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:59,400
was very reminiscent, not as much, but I'm gonna I'm gonna rank the

298
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:06,119
things about what I'm talking about of
some of the most deflating moments that I've

299
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,200
been around and seen at the World
Series of Pover in the main event the

300
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:15,480
number one deflating moment for me,
Nigraniu eleventh place. Yes, were you

301
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:22,160
in the building for that? I
mean, that was that was unreal deflating

302
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,200
in the Amazon room at the Rio. He literally collapses to the ground when

303
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:33,039
that river hit against Joe McKeon.
Like the place. There was probably six

304
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,279
hundred people packed into that stage.
It was very likely a fire hazard had

305
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:45,640
to be and he goes down and
the entire like the wind was just sucked

306
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,920
out of that room so goddamn fast. It was unreal. The second most

307
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,519
deflating moment, And honestly, this
one and Negraniu were pretty close, but

308
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:57,720
I think mcgroney's might have been bigger. When Ivy made the main event final

309
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:03,440
table in two thousand and nine and
he busted out. I mean, I

310
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:07,160
was in the pent and Teller Theater
and I was actually we had a couple

311
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,799
setups for Poker News. We had
some people up on stage, we had

312
00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:18,000
some people down like halfway up into
the audience in like a little media row

313
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:21,839
or whatever. And then I was
like way up top, like way up

314
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,599
top, and like this perch that
was like overlooking the entire arena. You

315
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,519
could see down half the fucking arena
cleared out, maybe more maybe seventy percent

316
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:34,480
of the whole arena when Ivy busted
out, I mean half the stage,

317
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:38,720
like everything. I remember. I
think they even had to like put the

318
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,880
tournament on break to like put people
back on stage, like get people on

319
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,680
stage, you know, I mean
everyone cleared out of there. You obviously

320
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,759
each player at the table had their
own little group of people, yes,

321
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:52,799
but the common people that came just
to watch the main and men final table

322
00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:57,839
were there to watch Ivy go on
to win, and he didn't win,

323
00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:03,200
And man, that was unreal,
the way it sucked everything out of that

324
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:07,160
theater. So I felt a bit
of that here when Kristen Foxing goes out

325
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:14,759
in thirteenth place. Maybe not as
much in the building deflation, but you

326
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,400
certainly also felt it, coupled with
the social media response, you know,

327
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:25,519
just everyone just being like really,
like, really this really happened? What

328
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,759
was your You were here? I
was not, but you weren't. Oh

329
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:33,440
Jesus Christ, of course you weren't
even fucking here. It's this is people,

330
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:36,000
This is what I deal with.
This is what I do. Do

331
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,480
you know what I had to do
today? Obviously go to dinner. I

332
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,480
mean it's only day eight of the
ws be Made event. I had to

333
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,759
set up these online events. No
one knew without playing, No one knew

334
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,599
that chip counts one those seat.
I had to do that. I do

335
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:52,160
both. It was a non stop
all morning. I play is coming to

336
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,119
me to complain, that was asking
me the questions left fronds and how do

337
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,599
I get paid? Blah blah blah
blah blah. It was a mess for

338
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,640
like five hours. I didn't have
no idea was going on in the main

339
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,960
event. And then dinner break was
coming. I was like, I'm gonna

340
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,880
go, and I went. I
had a stick anyway, so it was

341
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,480
not ham. When I came back, I was like, oh she's out.

342
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:14,559
Yeah, brutal her hand the big
topic of conversation. So handing WSP

343
00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:19,319
main event history definitely not I'm for
sure up there in that one. So

344
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,039
yeah, I mean, but to
be honest, like an interesting hand,

345
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:26,119
yeah, I mean, let me
let me just tell the hand and then

346
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,119
I'm gonna give my thought on it. You can give your thought on it

347
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,519
if you want. So they're playing
six hundred thousand and one point two million.

348
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,559
Joe Sarraq under the gun makes it
two point four, so that's a

349
00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:42,039
min raise. Kristin Foxen calls in
the big blind. Kristin Foxen has King

350
00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:48,960
Queen off. That's a great hand, just kidding. Joe Sarrac has Ace

351
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:56,880
King off the flop comes Ace King, Jack Ace King of Hearts, Jack

352
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,640
of Spades, Fox and checks out
of the big BLINDQ comes with four million,

353
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,160
Fox and makes the call. Turn
is the five of spades, So

354
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,640
now there's two spades on board in
addition to the two hearts that were on

355
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:14,480
the flop. Fox and checks.
Sarraq sizes up a little bit to eleven

356
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,240
point six million, Fox and tanks
for a bit. You know, she

357
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,400
she clearly is like sizing up her
stack, seeing where she's at. She's

358
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,359
looking at Sarah stack, all this
sort of stuff, and then she goes

359
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,400
all in for thirty six point nine
million. Saraq picks up his cards,

360
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,720
takes off his glasses and he says
like oh, and he turns over top

361
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:40,680
two pair Ace King, and she's
got King Queen. And she immediately knows

362
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,799
she stands up. She looks over
to her rail, where her husband Alex

363
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,680
is, and she says, I
need a ten, and she starts walking

364
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,319
over there. As Kristen has been
during her big Allians in the past couple

365
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,960
of days deep in this event,
she stands on the rail, She looks

366
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,119
at Alex and she can't even watch
what's happening behind her. She just lets

367
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,240
Alex tell her how it goes.
She knows that she needs ten. It

368
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:04,680
does not come. Six of hearts
falls on the river and we lose Kristin

369
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,279
Foxin. I mean, listen,
if I'm being honest, a bit of

370
00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:15,799
a punt, yeah, But as
I said about my insanely stupid bust out

371
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:22,079
hand, as I think you have
to do in poker, I think you

372
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,680
have to trust yourself. I think
you have to go with what you believe

373
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:30,640
is the right play. And if
Kristin believed this is the right play,

374
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:36,160
we all know how good of a
player Kristen is. Then I like that

375
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,640
she went with it. Now,
is it right or wrong? That's what

376
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,000
we can debate, right, But
I still like the fact that she trusted

377
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,960
it and went for it, you
know, Like that's what I kind of

378
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,240
get behind and that's what I take
away. And she did it on day

379
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:56,039
eight, a few spots away from
the final table, on the biggest stage,

380
00:27:56,559 --> 00:28:00,119
when she could have I mean,
she could have just checked full to

381
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,759
turn facing two barrels from Sarrock.
She could have just checked called and then

382
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,920
you know, seeing what would happened
on the river. It's a bit of

383
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,839
a punt, Yes, I think
you have to have punts in you to

384
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,960
get to the highest levels of tournaments, to run deep, you just have

385
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,720
you have to be able to have
that gear. Like that's why I don't

386
00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:19,759
get there exactly because you got a
fucking punt. You have to just be

387
00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:22,400
able to go for it. Like
in a lot of ways, you kind

388
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,319
of have to throw caution to the
wind at times, not always, but

389
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,440
at times. Now was this mistimed? You know, yes it was,

390
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,240
and shit happened. I mean,
shit happens, it blows up in your

391
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,640
face. I mean that that's how
it is. You know. She also

392
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,759
pulled some bluffs earlier on earlier days. You know, she had the kings.

393
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:48,480
She had the kings when she got
both Montoya and Ostett off ace jack

394
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:52,279
when there was an ace on the
board. She had the nines against the

395
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:56,759
jacks, you know, another time, like she has pulled some bluffs and

396
00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:00,519
they worked. If those bluffs go
wrong in those moments and she doesn't like

397
00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:04,960
go as far as she did,
maybe we're looking at those and saying like,

398
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,759
well, why did she do that? Why did she do that?

399
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,279
You know, like that sort of
thing, right, So, you know,

400
00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:15,359
it can be a kind of a
thin line that you walk with this

401
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,640
sort of thing. Like a lot
of times you're gonna look like a genius

402
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,920
like Kenny Tran. Other times you
might look like a stone idiot like Donnie

403
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,640
Peters. That's just how it is, okay, And Kristen did what she

404
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,319
thought was right. She was wrong
on this occasion and it obviously totally backfired.

405
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:34,920
But you know, shout out for
her for going for it. You

406
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,000
know, she said afterwards when she
spoke with Jeff that she was happy with

407
00:29:40,039 --> 00:29:41,960
it, and she was happy with
she thinks all the hands she plays.

408
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:45,799
Yeah, I mean it sucks,
you know, in the overall grand scheme

409
00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:49,319
of things. You know, again, pretty deflating moment for everyone, everyone's

410
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:55,039
rooting interest, because it was clear
that everyone was behind kristin Fox and everyone

411
00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:57,799
was on the Fox and train,
but she ultimately goes out in thirteenth place,

412
00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:00,880
and then, speaking of her interview
Jeff Platt, we're going to play

413
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,559
that for you guys right now Vox. And this has been along and I'm

414
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:08,480
sure grueling run. Do you allow
yourself at this point to take pride and

415
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,599
how you played throughout the main?
Yeah, for sure. I mean it

416
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,440
was I don't even know how many
hours of poker, and I feel pretty

417
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:21,640
happy even my best out hands,
like you know, I feel fine with

418
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,680
it, honestly, like kind of
a close spot, but I think that

419
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,200
whatever, just yeah, I feel
okay with like every hand I feel pretty

420
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,640
good about. And yeah, you've
dreamed of being the woman that wins the

421
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,079
Main. What was it like to
live out such a huge part of that

422
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,440
dream? Yeah, more than anything, like just so so thankful for all

423
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:48,880
the support that I had and like
overwhelmed with messages and love from everybody.

424
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,160
I'm gonna take these off, and
uh, yeah, it was like overwhelming,

425
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:57,119
really really sweet, and it just
feels like it was a really cool

426
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:03,079
tournament where it felt like, you
know, I felt very prepared for the

427
00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:06,839
spot in the run, and I'm
yeah, just really happy with how I

428
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,200
played and I feel like, comparing
it to how I played, you know,

429
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:12,440
ten years ago or something, I'm
just yeah, I'm proud of myself.

430
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:15,240
And finally, I know it's the
obvious question on the board, but

431
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,240
it's an important one. Do you
feel like this run will serve as as

432
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:22,599
motivation as inspiration to women watching out
there? I hope so, I mean,

433
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,839
I hope it just shows, like, you know, don't be afraid

434
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,240
to sit down and play with guys. You know, what does that do

435
00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:33,720
for her in terms of PGT points? Because she wasn't she up there already?

436
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,759
She was. I haven't input it, of course, because you're too

437
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:41,119
busy. I just don't do it
all at once. But you're too busy

438
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:42,640
at dinner. I get it.
I understand. She catched for how much?

439
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:47,920
Six hundred thousand? She actually moved
to thirteen thirty six, which is

440
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,759
good for six penning some other obviously
model title results. I guess, just

441
00:31:52,839 --> 00:32:05,160
back up six places or something.
Then going out in twelfth place, we

442
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:09,279
lose our villain, your buddy,
my boy, your buddy barefoot boy.

443
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:16,079
Yeah, the fucking pair feet man. Gabrielle Mora busted in twelfth place six

444
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:22,599
hundred thousand for him. He goes
out to Jason Sagal Jason Sagle, so

445
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:24,240
it folded to Sago in the small
blind. He's moved all in to put

446
00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:28,279
Mora all into the big blind.
Sorry, he raised to ten point eight

447
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,559
million, so I'm assuming he just
slid out a stack of chips. Moro

448
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,880
goes all in for twelve point four. Sago calls for the extra a little

449
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,079
bit more, has got Queen nine
off, Sagle's got six y five off.

450
00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:43,079
It comes, I mean, what
is his hand? It comes Jack

451
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:51,400
nine to eight seven five. So
Segal ends up making a straight and he

452
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,200
delivers the I mean, yeah,
the bad beat, the blow to Mora,

453
00:32:55,359 --> 00:33:00,799
the ending blow kind of similar fashion
to how he busted ot Row earlier.

454
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,319
So we lose more of And he
was the one, you know,

455
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:07,519
we talked about like if he makes
the final table, he's like clearly the

456
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,079
villain. So now I guess I
should bring it up. Here is what

457
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:14,400
I was going to ask you.
But now I'm a little bit concerned because

458
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,279
you're telling me you weren't even here. I saw some stuff on social media

459
00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:22,000
that the outer table was playing much
slower than the main table. I have

460
00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:24,039
confirmation of that yet, Yeah,
so were they were? They were they?

461
00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:30,119
At one point there were like sixteen
hands behind us something sixteen Jesus Christ,

462
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,279
What the why did they slow it
down? Why did they say,

463
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:36,519
like, hey, pause, we're
gonna let these people catch up. They've

464
00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:40,279
done in the past, remember then
any tea Machinko year when when Charlie came

465
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:44,839
to us and was because remember we
were hand for handing with twenty seven players

466
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,920
left. We were hand for handing
all three tables. Yeah, shout out

467
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,279
to our coverage. Hand for handing. That was the badass coverage. And

468
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,519
Charlie was like, you know,
asked us to like tally it up.

469
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:57,799
So I quickly tallied it up what
it was and gave it to him and

470
00:33:57,799 --> 00:33:59,519
he's like, oh, yeah,
you know, they're like twelve behind.

471
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:01,119
So then he like basically was he
like, but first he talked to the

472
00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:04,480
one table and said you need to
speed it out, and then it didn't

473
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,440
speed up, and then he started
like being like, okay, like you

474
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,119
guys gotta pause. We're gonna let
these players play a couple hands, catch

475
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:13,159
up and then go from there.
So yeah, I don't think there's a

476
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:17,159
I haven't witnessed this world series much
of a you know, soft hand for

477
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,239
hand at all, like we do, you know at Puger Studio in PGT

478
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,000
events. But do you have a
message here from someone that was very close

479
00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:28,639
to the action. He said,
the two tables are now sixteen hands apart.

480
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,159
Quite ridiculous. I think he was
watching the stat screen and it says,

481
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:34,800
you know, this is hand fifty
five, this table beat this is

482
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,119
a hand sixty eight or whatever.
So obviously that number could be wrong.

483
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,280
He could be over exaggerating. That's
the message I received. I obviously am

484
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,199
not kind of do anything about it. It's not my place to say anything.

485
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,880
But yeah, I guess that's more
up to the players or WSP themselves

486
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,960
implementing some kind of you know,
soft hand for hand rule it, you

487
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,039
know, especially this deep in the
main event with such big prize pool and

488
00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:00,920
ICM implications. Yeah, I'm curios
is if the players were aware. So

489
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,920
when when I was watching the coverage
today and they were bouncing back and forth

490
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,000
between the two tables, especially early
on when there was eighteen left and they

491
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,920
had that one hundred thousand dollars pay
jump right away, I don't know.

492
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:20,039
I kind of got the sense that
the players on like each table weren't really

493
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,320
aware of what was happening on the
other table, which in years past,

494
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,719
I feel like players, you know, they would kind of play their hand

495
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,960
and then they would like like walk
over to the other table, look see

496
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,079
what's happening. Maybe walk back,
you know, Like I felt like there

497
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:37,519
was more of that in recent years
than there was this year, you know,

498
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:40,000
because I think, yeah, I
think given the pay jumps, you

499
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,679
got to kind of know. But
I felt like they were just like these

500
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:46,039
two tables were just playing right and
they were just you know, doing their

501
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:52,000
own thing. So I was I
was a little bit, I guess surprised

502
00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:53,440
by that that they weren't kind of
paying attention, because then if you're not

503
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,079
paying attention to that sort of stuff, it's understandable that one table, if

504
00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:00,719
it ended up going much lower than
the other table, that you're just unaware.

505
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,679
Yeah, because I'm like, I
mean, this is going way back,

506
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,320
but you remember Daniel's year because that's
when they had that wacky pay jump

507
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:10,639
from like eleventh to tenth or whatever
it was, or maybe eleventh to ninth

508
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,039
or whatever. But anyway, but
yeah, but Daniel was like, we

509
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:17,039
like, it's so like this table's
going way faster than that table is,

510
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,639
like you know he was, he
was aware of it, right, and

511
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,719
there's been other years when the players
have been aware of it. So surprise

512
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,119
no one said anything. But maybe
they could have just not been paying attention

513
00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:30,000
at all. Busting in eleventh place, Malcolm. Oh but anyway, but

514
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:32,400
some people were saying that, you
know, the one table that was playing

515
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,000
a bit slower was because of Mora, And we know that he was playing

516
00:36:36,039 --> 00:36:38,760
extremely slow the day before we watched
it. He was extremely deliberate with all

517
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,239
his actions, So that could have
been the case, is that he was

518
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,920
playing so because even on the feature
table earlier in the day, you know,

519
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,159
before Moreau's busted, if him and
Kim were in a pot, it

520
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:53,159
was a fucking eight minute here.
So all right, busting in eleventh place,

521
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:59,320
Malcolm Frankie out of France. He
got all in with Ace Queen up

522
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:05,280
against the Ace King for Jordan Griff. Griff opened to three point two million

523
00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:10,400
on the button. Malcolm Frankie three
bet jammed for thirty four point seven million

524
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:15,159
or the big blind. Griff called
it off. Here we go another seventy

525
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:19,960
million chip pot. The Ace King
holds for Griff and all of a sudden

526
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,880
he's got eighty two million. Remember
he was all in for like eight million,

527
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,480
three hundred thousand on the first hand, needed a two hour on the

528
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:32,239
river, hit it, and next
thing you know, he's like, you

529
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,320
know, second in chips, third
and chips or whatever it was. So

530
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,880
yeah, so there was that,
and kind of along the way here Joseh

531
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,880
Rock was basically dominating the feature table, you know, not like not like

532
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,519
a big, huge all in hand
like you saw. I mean, yes,

533
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,880
the hand with Kristen Foxen. But
other than that, you know,

534
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:54,639
just just crushing basically. So Frankie
goes out in eleventh place. We get

535
00:37:54,679 --> 00:38:00,840
down to ten handed play, which
I'm again, but they go to one

536
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:06,440
table. I know your your pro
ten handed play because you are you are

537
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:09,719
captain knit over here. You would
have you would want them to go to

538
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,079
ten handed play if sorry, you
would want to go to twelve hand to

539
00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,000
play if they could, that's what
you would have enough cards? Yeah,

540
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:17,400
for sure, we have enough cards. For sure. I think you can

541
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,960
go fourteen handed and hold them,
can't you. We should do that.

542
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,840
Yeah, yeah, that's right up
your alley. So we get down to

543
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,559
the ten handed table. Joe Siroki
is the chip leader. He's the only

544
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:31,440
player with over one hundred million.
He's actually got one hundred and forty one

545
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:37,760
point nine million massive chip. Brian
Kim is second ninety eight point six,

546
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:43,039
and then it's Jordan Griff in third, seventy eight point seven. The short

547
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:45,800
stack. Of course, that's important
now because that's the person everyone's looking at

548
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:52,039
to go out next and set the
official final table. That was Portugal's Diego

549
00:38:52,119 --> 00:38:57,840
Coelo. He had eleven point seven
million, so they get played back underway.

550
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,840
Blinds are eight hundred thousand, one
point six million. A couple of

551
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:06,039
shoves get through from some players.
Gonzalez got to shove through Latin wall.

552
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:12,639
Gotta shove through. Then Griff wins
a massive pot. He makes quads.

553
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:21,360
This hand was freaking wild. Jordan
Griff min raised under the gun. Ostet

554
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:27,400
makes the call and Sarraq makes the
call nine to six' five. Griff

555
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,440
has pocket fives by the way.
He flops the bottom set. Si Rak

556
00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:36,599
has seven to eight flops a straight
and I forget what Ostet had, but

557
00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:39,199
he had he had a big hand
too. Ousted ops to lead out for

558
00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:45,199
three point five million. Sarak calls
and Griff also calls turn as a queen.

559
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:51,360
Ostet slows down, he checks.
Sarraq bets eleven million, Griff calls

560
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,840
Osted, gets out of the way
river five, pairing the board. Sarraq

561
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:05,800
bets thirty five million, and Griff
moves all in and si Raki is like,

562
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,440
what in the f in hell is
happening? Looks like he was just

563
00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:15,280
possessed, like the way he kind
of like reacted. The all in was

564
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:20,599
for sixty one million. Remember Sarak
bett thirty five million. I mean,

565
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:23,920
this is an insane hand. And
I told you what that what the players

566
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:29,960
had. But Sirak had seven eight
flopped a straight. Griff had pocket fives

567
00:40:30,039 --> 00:40:36,119
for quads. Eventually, Sarrak folds
and he gets shown the quads. I

568
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:38,079
mean, you gotta show the quads, right, Sarah says, he has

569
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:44,000
seven eights obviously folding a straight there
and just an absolutely wild hand. And

570
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:51,440
that's the hand that propelled Jordan Griff, the supply chain manager, out of

571
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:57,159
I believe California, maybe Arizona.
I forget exactly up into the chip lead.

572
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:00,760
I mean, good lord one hundred
and forty four million for him or

573
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:07,280
one hundred and forty million whatever it
is. Then we lose Portugal's Diego Diego

574
00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:10,079
Coelo. In tenth place, he
gets it all in with ace jack up

575
00:41:10,119 --> 00:41:15,039
against the ace king for Nicholas,
austedt. No help for Coelo, and

576
00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:20,920
he's out the door. In tenth
place, he gets eight hundred thousand dollars

577
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:28,199
in prize money and the day is
over. So chip counts are I'll go,

578
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,280
you want to do table or you
want to do chip count order.

579
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:36,039
I like table. Tell me,
well, how do we get? But

580
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,679
I did it on purpose because I
saw you weren't looking at the table.

581
00:41:39,199 --> 00:41:42,280
I was looking at that. I
know, I know I got you.

582
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,360
Boris Angelov say one thirty three big
blinds. I'm gonna do big blinds because

583
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:52,079
you know it makes more sense.
Yeah, that's malo malo sixteen big blinds.

584
00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:57,360
Brian cam in the state say three
fifty nine big binds. By the

585
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,960
way, Brian cam West c in
the on the table, one hundred percent

586
00:42:00,159 --> 00:42:01,239
has to be the worst sealing table. This is one hundred percent of the

587
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,400
worst, and that's before Griff runted
up. But Nicholas asked that he has

588
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,039
fifty nine big lines as well.
See four. Joseh Rock down to fifty

589
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:14,400
two bigs. Jordan Griff Chip Leader, ninety big lines, Jonathan Tomayo folding

590
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,239
pocket queens to a raise. Oh, we're gonna talk about that. Well,

591
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:21,360
let me finish this. Seventy big
Linds in cea seven Andres Gonzalez eleven

592
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,559
bigs. He is the final table
Shots Sag, Jason Segal in the nine

593
00:42:24,639 --> 00:42:29,360
seat, forty two big lines.
Yeah, let's go. Yeah. So

594
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:34,239
they make the ten handed final tables. The first hand right, it was

595
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,239
one of the first hands, but
Joseph Rock raises under the gun a six

596
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:44,920
and yeah he has a six off
and under the gun plus two is Tomayo

597
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,239
takes about four seconds and just two
queens in the muck. Yeah. Raised

598
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,079
the three point two million early position
to Mayo folded queens. Jason Saga called

599
00:42:53,119 --> 00:43:00,840
in the hijack was ten douce three
struck check, Segal bet and strapholder the

600
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:05,000
ice six. I'm not really nice
seven I six, I seven, but

601
00:43:05,079 --> 00:43:07,400
that could have been potential. You
know, it's good spot there for tomay

602
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:14,679
How to double up? Yeah,
you think, oh, but I'm surprised

603
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:19,800
you're saying this and you're like,
not good full tapping the table. Let's

604
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,920
okay, let's wind it back.
The guys have wind it back. What

605
00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:25,280
he's got seventeen bigs, get the
money in. Other guy has eight bigs,

606
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,920
and then the other one has eleven
bigs. It's such a nice cm

607
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,960
phault, isn't it. I mean, yeah, but it seems nitty.

608
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,280
Yeah, it's kinda nit, buddy. That's how we do it. That's

609
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,079
how we roll. The main event
is such. It has to be such

610
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:45,559
a mind f because you honestly think
you're shoving in that spot. Listen,

611
00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:49,840
listen to what I'm gonna say.
I mean, I I think I do.

612
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,159
Just get the money in. I
mean, but the mind f is

613
00:43:54,360 --> 00:44:00,199
you you have these enormous pay jumps. Him is on Instagram. I don't

614
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:04,000
know if any I don't know.
Yeah, he's mutiay because he doesn't want

615
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,760
me to know he's on Instagram.
But I heard the sound. He's for

616
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,679
sure on Instagram. Yeah it was. You have these massive pay jumps when

617
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:15,079
you're the steep right, so on
one side you you, yes, you

618
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:17,840
want to ladder up to like secure
these payge jumps because they are so large.

619
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,400
I mean, every paye jump is
like what first place in many tournaments

620
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,480
are, right, you know,
two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand,

621
00:44:25,519 --> 00:44:30,639
four hundred thousands, like just massive
pay jumps. The other side is that

622
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:40,480
this tournament is so damn top heavy
still, it's like weirdly flat but also

623
00:44:42,159 --> 00:44:45,400
crazy top heavy, just because the
top three are so insane four million,

624
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:51,000
six million, ten million. I
mean what like play heads up for four

625
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,840
million dollars. I mean that's out
of control. Yeah, I mean that's

626
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,440
what, you know, a point
of just getting it in. That's my

627
00:44:57,519 --> 00:45:00,880
point of like, if you want
to ultimately set yourself up to win in

628
00:45:01,039 --> 00:45:04,559
the tournament that, out of all
tournaments in the world, is the most

629
00:45:04,559 --> 00:45:09,400
top heavy, then isn't this the
one? Yes, like, and I

630
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,119
so part of the reason why.
And listen, I could be I could

631
00:45:15,159 --> 00:45:21,280
be wrong here, but I could
also be like kind of going down the

632
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,199
road of ICM is for poor people. Although I'm a poor person, but

633
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:27,360
I'm still kind of going down this
road. And what I mean is that,

634
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,280
like, listen, if Tomayo were
to go with that hand and bust

635
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:37,360
out, you still collect eight hundred
thousand dollars. It's not like first place

636
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:44,079
is ten million, and if you
bust you're collecting one hunter k. Yes,

637
00:45:44,639 --> 00:45:49,239
so the eight hundred k is a
massive amount of money that you've already

638
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:54,360
secured, so that it's like a
safety blanket in a weird way to me,

639
00:45:55,199 --> 00:45:58,440
you know, like, yeah,
want to like you want to try

640
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,199
and position yourself to get top three
in any tournament when when you get this

641
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,280
deep because that's you know, I've
said it before, like the money's always

642
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,719
in the top three, especially in
the Wspumine event. The top three here

643
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:15,000
there's twenty million dollars, I know, but it's also crazy, so like

644
00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:19,480
you want to, like, if
you're into mile shoes and you take the

645
00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:22,199
queen's right, you look down and
you see the queens like you have a

646
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:27,280
chance at retirement money. And if
you don't get it, you still got

647
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,559
a massive bankrell boost waiting for you
if you ultimately bust out. So it's

648
00:46:30,599 --> 00:46:34,559
not the end of the world.
So I don't know, that's why I

649
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:40,480
lean to to go for it versus
just you know, leaning on the side

650
00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:46,440
of ultimate knittery and folded like that. I mean, right, I mean

651
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:51,000
that that's how I think about the
situation. And I know, like maybe

652
00:46:51,199 --> 00:46:53,320
icm yes, based on the stacks
and where the other guys were behind you

653
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,519
and shorter than you. Yes,
maybe you should fold icm wise, but

654
00:46:59,559 --> 00:47:02,119
I don't know. I feel like
you can deviate good fun. Jonathan,

655
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,599
Yeah, I mean listen, why
don't we just we'll play the interview right

656
00:47:07,639 --> 00:47:09,639
now. I saw I talked with
Jonathan Tomahow afterwards, and I asked him,

657
00:47:09,639 --> 00:47:13,800
flat up, you did you fold
queens? Because when it happens,

658
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,639
the first thing we think, being
on the production side, Oh, was

659
00:47:15,679 --> 00:47:19,480
that a graphics air exactly? Because
maybe it happened, you don't know,

660
00:47:19,519 --> 00:47:22,000
there has been some graphics airs before. He did tweet he's chip bag and

661
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
said, yes, I did folk
queens. I mean he told me,

662
00:47:24,119 --> 00:47:27,119
you know, he said I fold
the queens, and then he said,

663
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,960
you know, we'll play in a
second, but yeah, he said I

664
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,039
folded queens. Chance Corneth was on
Twitter, which I thought was interesting,

665
00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:35,719
Like he said, clearly it was
a graphics air and Jonathan Tomiow is wearing

666
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,320
a chip Leader coaching patch, which
is Chances company, So that was kind

667
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,519
of interesting to me, you know, like Chance to like if he's like

668
00:47:42,639 --> 00:47:45,639
in that circle or whatever. He
didn't just like text him and say,

669
00:47:45,679 --> 00:47:47,119
hey, was that really queens?
And Tomorow's like, yeah, whatever,

670
00:47:47,519 --> 00:47:52,159
So anyway, here's a troll who
knows. Here's the interview right now with

671
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,519
Jonathan Tomiow where he talks about the
fact that he did full queens. All

672
00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:59,960
right, Jonathan Tomiow ws be main
event final sable. Did you ever think

673
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:06,079
you would be here? Never?
Never? It's a pipe dream. It's

674
00:48:06,079 --> 00:48:09,599
impossible to make this final table.
I mean every poker player dreams of making

675
00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:13,719
this final table. Right, You
have obviously now experienced the run to the

676
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,880
final table. Is that experience in
line with what you've dreamt or is it

677
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:23,119
better? It's better, especially since
I should have been gone on day four.

678
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:31,199
I jammed ten bigs day four with
Ace Queen. Somebody rejammed Jacks.

679
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,119
There's a cutoff who had thirty five
bigs folded Ace King because he was afraid

680
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:42,119
of running five cards for his tournament
life. But one guy at the table

681
00:48:42,199 --> 00:48:45,400
fold Day's King. The big mind
folds Jacks and I bang an Ace on

682
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:50,519
the turn. That sequence events doesn't
happen. I'm not here, so you

683
00:48:50,519 --> 00:48:52,280
feel like you're on a bit of
a free roll. Of course, after

684
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,440
that, I said, it's all
free now, and Mario Jo had a

685
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,440
front row seat to it coming in. I think with twenty six million,

686
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,199
I think you put in the bag
so kind of towards like the bottom portion

687
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,760
of the chip counts. What your
approach going to be? Is it more

688
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,360
like ICM specific? Are you just
going to go in and be like I'm

689
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:08,119
going to take it one hand to
the time, you're going to play for

690
00:49:08,159 --> 00:49:14,079
the win? Just play the spots
because I'm less likely to win than anybody

691
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:15,519
has one hundred million. So like, if it happens, it happens.

692
00:49:15,519 --> 00:49:19,360
If not, well, it's been
great, it's been great. It's been

693
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,719
great seeing everybody. I do have
to ask you about one hand and you

694
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,159
can tell me if it was correct
or not? Did you fold queens?

695
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:30,480
I did? And what was the
reasoning there? Uh, there's math behind

696
00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:37,000
it. After talking with a couple
good high roller gregs and they can hand

697
00:49:37,079 --> 00:49:42,679
poke, you know, and and
they like it. So whether it's actually

698
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,719
corrected, I don't know. But
at the time like that was the executable

699
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:52,119
plan. So I did it right
or wrong at this point hopefully I wasn't

700
00:49:52,119 --> 00:49:54,079
If it was wrong, hopefully I
wasn't too wrong. What's the next day

701
00:49:54,079 --> 00:49:58,039
and a half or so, look
like for you obviously some rest of course

702
00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:00,840
after these long days of playing.
But is it studying talking with friends some

703
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,480
of those high rollers that you mentioned, There will be some studying with those

704
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:10,119
high roller friends. Get a plan
going, you know. I may may

705
00:50:10,119 --> 00:50:14,239
not be around long at the final
table, maybe around a long time,

706
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:19,320
so that would be something formulated for
sure, But that's tomorrow, you know.

707
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,400
Actually I think one of them is
already working on it for me.

708
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,719
Well, great, And then last
question here, I have something that I

709
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:29,840
ask everyone during this run. You
having fun? It's fun now because I'm

710
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,760
not playing. It's stressful when plan
you can't think about it, but when

711
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:40,039
you on Brakes's like, all right, this is kind of fun. I

712
00:50:40,039 --> 00:50:45,760
do want to run through the bios
quickly and kind of talk about who these

713
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,760
players are, So we'll go through
that pretty quickly. Right now. I'll

714
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,280
just hit on some of the kind
of the kind of the big things to

715
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:58,599
pull from each things or the important
stuff or whatever. First up, seat

716
00:50:58,639 --> 00:51:02,920
one, you got Tis Angelov out
of Bulgaria, forty two years old,

717
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,639
professional poker player, which, by
the way, we're gonna you're gonna hear

718
00:51:07,639 --> 00:51:10,360
that a lot professional poker player.
This is I feel like this is the

719
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,400
most professional poker player field we've had
a the wspman I'll table, although I

720
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,599
could be wrong. He enjoyed spending
time with friends and family. He enjoys

721
00:51:19,639 --> 00:51:23,119
his social life. His biggest score
came earlier this year, second place in

722
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:29,400
EPT Monte Carlo in the main event
five thousand euro by In there he got

723
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:34,320
six hundred and sixty four thousand dollars. This is his thirteenth WSP cash.

724
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:39,440
He's played poker professionally since two thoy
and sixteen. Ahead of coming or sorry,

725
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,280
coming into this event, he was
number thirty on Bulgaria's all time moneyless

726
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,719
I'm guessing he's going to have a
good chance to climb that ranking system.

727
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:52,320
Malo Latinois is out of France.
Well it doesn't say his age. Oh

728
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:58,239
yeah, there is twenty eight years
old out of France entering the WSPE main

729
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:02,559
event this year ninety six dollars in
live tournament earnings. Doesn't have any WSP

730
00:52:02,639 --> 00:52:06,840
cashes outside of this one. This
is a pretty good one to stop your

731
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,719
charity with. Right, he is
a professional poker player now, but he

732
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:15,400
wasn't always. He was a former
energy consultant. He came from the Grenoble

733
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:22,880
Institute of Technology for Engineering and Energy
before embarking on his poker career. Built

734
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:30,400
a strong foundation for his future through
academics. He earned an engineering degree specializing

735
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:36,199
in energy systems and markets. He
has a master's degree and he also spent

736
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,119
time as an exchange student at the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology. So

737
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:46,920
pretty smart guy, I feel.
Says. He started playing poker about four

738
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:52,920
years ago watching his friends play some
very small one euro tournaments online. He

739
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,039
became passionate about started loving it and
then to start doing everything that he could

740
00:52:57,159 --> 00:53:02,280
to get better. And here he
is poker biggest stage. Brian Kim aged

741
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:08,639
thirty four, originally from California but
now lives in Sydney with his wife Emma,

742
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:14,320
attended the University of Can we claim
him? What can I claim him?

743
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:19,159
Kangaroo crew member? You can claim
his wife for sure? What it's

744
00:53:19,159 --> 00:53:22,360
listen, you can't be in the
Kangaroo crew unless you have the accent.

745
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,679
It's just not and BK doesn't have
the accent, so people say I don't

746
00:53:25,679 --> 00:53:29,840
have an accent. He went to
UNLV played hockey there. He also played

747
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,400
in some Australian Hockey league which I
didn't even know Australia had hockey, but

748
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,199
he was like the number one draft
pick because he's pretty good. Used to

749
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,960
be a cash game player, played
a lot of pretty big cash games out

750
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,480
in LA high stakes cash. Has
since transitioned into tournaments. Has been playing

751
00:53:43,519 --> 00:53:47,440
tournaments seriously for I don't know two
to three years now plays really high plays

752
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,360
a lot of the Triton stuff,
plays in the studio, plays all the

753
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,280
big stuff here at the World Series
of Poker. Has had a couple of

754
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:58,599
very big scores, but this is
his first million dollar score. He had

755
00:53:58,639 --> 00:54:02,159
a third place finish in a Triton
event this year for nine hundred and fifty

756
00:54:02,159 --> 00:54:07,159
four thousand dollars. Last year in
a Triton event he got second place in

757
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,440
second place for nine hundred and twenty
thousand dollars, So some big scores for

758
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:15,519
him. He does have a bracelet
in online versusly Yeah, a five thousand

759
00:54:15,559 --> 00:54:20,199
dollars Nolanan hold him high roller one
hundred and twenty k there, and then

760
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:25,920
in twenty twenty two he finished twenty
third in this very event, taking home

761
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:30,199
I think three hundred and thirty thousand
dollars or something like that. He lists

762
00:54:30,199 --> 00:54:36,119
here One of his coolest poker moments
was playing heads up with a celebrity who

763
00:54:36,119 --> 00:54:42,280
he prefers not to name and winning. Interesting, I know the celebrity.

764
00:54:42,639 --> 00:54:45,760
You know the celebrity. Yep,
so do I. He was in the

765
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,199
movie. No, you're not going
to say it. I'll have Rich Ryan

766
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,639
edited out, I think, but
I will say that I had a piece

767
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:57,239
of the action. I didn't remember
that. So I also beat the celebrity

768
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:00,360
celebrity. I beat the celebrity heads
up by proxy proxy. Okay, that's

769
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:05,320
how it happened. So yeah,
Brian Kim, he's in there. I

770
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,559
mean, he's a good friend of
mine. You know, I've spoken with

771
00:55:07,639 --> 00:55:10,280
him. He feels a lot,
a lot more ready this time around than

772
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,159
he was a couple of years.
Speak to him tonight, Oh yeah,

773
00:55:14,159 --> 00:55:15,320
I did. I did, actually, so we should throw that interview.

774
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:20,679
I did speak with Brian Kim afterwards. You could definitely tell he was at

775
00:55:20,679 --> 00:55:24,239
the point of this run when like
all the adrenaline was dumping. I'm sure

776
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:29,000
you're just freaking hyped up. I
can't even imagine I'm hyped up on day

777
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,280
two, so I don't even know
what the hell happens on day eight.

778
00:55:30,679 --> 00:55:34,719
Like, I almost feel like you
would have to like take some sort of

779
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,599
drugs to go the other way because
you're like too hyped up. But if

780
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:39,039
you listen to him speaking of hyped
up, I asked him about the scarf

781
00:55:39,079 --> 00:55:43,519
thing, and he said it was
basically like he's like kind of all out

782
00:55:43,559 --> 00:55:45,960
of whack with sleeping stuff, that
his fucking heart rate is just like going

783
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,519
crazy, like no matter what.
So he's just like I just want to,

784
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:51,719
like, you know, cover that. But he talked about in the

785
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,880
interview, And here's that interview for
you right now. All right, Brian

786
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Kim, Are you more prepared this
time than last time? Yeah? Absolutely

787
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:05,079
worked a lot on my game and
I'm ready to try to make a good

788
00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:10,760
showing describe what this ride's been like
in comparison to the last one. Yeah,

789
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,800
I think with this run, if
I was the player that I was

790
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,679
in twenty twenty two, there's a
chance that I would definitely not be here.

791
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,000
I feel like my best poker played
this tournament was when I was short,

792
00:56:25,519 --> 00:56:30,639
and yeah, I think I was
just more dialed in this time around,

793
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:37,159
more focused, and just more prepared
in general. You gotta talk to

794
00:56:37,159 --> 00:56:40,039
me about the scarf what's up with
the scarf? You just said? You

795
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:46,960
hide in the tells. Surprisingly,
nobody has texted me about the scarf yet.

796
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,880
I thought that I would get at
least forty messages saying, what the

797
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,039
hell are you wearing? But where
did you get it? The scarf thing?

798
00:56:58,639 --> 00:57:06,639
I am kind of sleep deprived and
my heart rates just been going insane,

799
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:12,199
regardless of if I have a value
hand or a bluff or if I'm

800
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,960
all in. So I thought I
needed to cover that up, and I

801
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,559
asked my friend Arden Show if she
could hop into a couple of stores because

802
00:57:21,639 --> 00:57:25,079
we're both staying at Bolaggio and check
for me. But she said she didn't,

803
00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:31,760
but she's there with a friend who's
a famous creat actress who who let

804
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:36,039
me borrow this scarf. I'm definitely
gonna try and buy it from her.

805
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,320
What's it been like with the competition? Obviously it tends to all kind of

806
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:44,119
converge, you know, the better
players kind of rise to the top.

807
00:57:44,719 --> 00:57:47,679
Is everyone playing pretty well? Do
you still feel pretty good against the field

808
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:55,039
that's left? Yeah, it's hard
to say what these fields are normally like.

809
00:57:55,119 --> 00:57:58,920
Towards the end, I feel like
they're always just all over the place,

810
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:04,440
and for me, some days I
had a lot of recreational players at

811
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,400
the table, and sometimes randomly I
had very tough tables. I think my

812
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:13,639
toughest table was on Day two,
and I just played super tight on that

813
00:58:13,639 --> 00:58:16,280
table because I knew we were breaking
soon. But yeah, with this final

814
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:22,119
table, I think it's I think
it's relatively tough for our main event final

815
00:58:22,119 --> 00:58:27,840
table actually, and yeah, it
should be a fun final table to watch.

816
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,199
Last question, I always ask everyone, are you having fun? Yeah,

817
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:38,239
I'm having a blast. It really
is a dream come true. And

818
00:58:39,119 --> 00:58:45,320
yeah, I never thought I would
actually be here doing these interviews because I've

819
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:52,400
made the final table. I've always
just, yeah, kind of worshiped the

820
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:57,840
main event as the super Bowl of
poker, and I knew that I would

821
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:01,639
have another maybe sixteen tries at it
or maybe more. I don't know what

822
00:59:01,639 --> 00:59:07,519
I'm gonna quit poker about. To
actually be here, I think in my

823
00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:12,480
prime is is amazing. All Right, So that was Brian Kim. You

824
00:59:12,519 --> 00:59:15,239
said he has the worst seat at
the table, and that's probably because next

825
00:59:15,239 --> 00:59:21,440
to him, it starts with Nicholas
ostett Leana nine hundred is what he's better

826
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,519
known as probably the greatest online tournament
poker player in history, even though Tim

827
00:59:25,679 --> 00:59:31,440
doesn't think. So, that's not
let's move on. That's not what we

828
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,159
can play. I was trying to
make we can play the tape. You're

829
00:59:35,159 --> 00:59:38,440
out here trying to say Tom Dwan
not okay, where in this main event?

830
00:59:38,519 --> 00:59:42,800
Huh? Where is he? He's
gone? He cashed, right,

831
00:59:43,679 --> 00:59:45,760
I think he cash? Yeah,
he cashed. Yeah, you me.

832
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:50,719
I was trying to make a point
about notoriety, not about the actual.

833
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,079
No one cares about notoriety. No
one cares about that was the point I

834
00:59:53,119 --> 01:00:00,480
was trying to make, though.
So Ostets long time no. Number One

835
01:00:00,639 --> 01:00:04,840
ranked online poker player over on pocketfives
dot com. He's thirty three years old

836
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:09,559
out of Sweden. He dropped out
of school to pursue poker full time,

837
01:00:09,599 --> 01:00:13,760
and it's worked out for him,
I would say. Although he only has

838
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:19,159
right around three million dollars in live
tournament earnings online, more than forty eight

839
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,239
million dollars in earnings, a lot
of money. He's been married for three

840
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:29,199
years. He's had a bunch of
basippy caches, but none of course as

841
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,880
good as this one. He started
playing poker in the early two thousands during

842
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:37,360
the Poker Broom, as so many
of us did. He quit school two

843
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,079
years before graduating and just started playing
poker. Got better at he started playing

844
01:00:43,119 --> 01:00:46,719
free roll tournaments. He actually transitioned
to cash games. He played cash games.

845
01:00:46,719 --> 01:00:51,840
Then he kind of, you know, switched back over to tournament poker

846
01:00:52,159 --> 01:00:55,039
when he was twenty four years old, and he has never looked back since.

847
01:00:55,440 --> 01:01:00,400
Joe Sirock the bad seat draw that
you referenced for Brian, him gets

848
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,679
harder because now he's got Joe sarrac
uh, you know, two to his

849
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,360
left, thirty six Joe I Rock. I feel like he's been in the

850
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,400
industry forever, right, I mean
he's he was in the industry. He

851
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,599
was one of those guys when I
remember two thousand and eight, my first

852
01:01:12,639 --> 01:01:15,840
World Series of Poker, my first
time in the industry, walking through the

853
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,239
field, you know, my boss
is like, Oh, that's Joe so

854
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:21,320
Rock. You know, you gotta
look at that guy. He has a

855
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,239
bracelet. Also in online event something
in Europe, No, he got second?

856
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:30,760
Who Jos Rock? He took second
in like the Mix Max in Europe?

857
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:36,880
Or did he win the Mix?
No? His bracelets online last year

858
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:43,039
five hundred dollars online PLO event he
won ninety three thousand dollars. Started playing

859
01:01:43,119 --> 01:01:46,440
poker in two thousand and four,
after you know, kind of similar to

860
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:53,079
other people that we mentioned and ourselves
watching televised poker on TV or televised poker

861
01:01:53,079 --> 01:01:58,239
of the WSP, I should say, because televised poker on TV is quite

862
01:01:58,239 --> 01:02:04,840
redundant. Now he is the televised
poker Yes, I mean right, kind

863
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,960
of just comes full circle. Started
playing poker with his friends, as so

864
01:02:08,039 --> 01:02:12,960
many of us have. He says
that he was quite depressed during his high

865
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,440
school years and discovering poker was a
bit of a revelation for him. So

866
01:02:17,079 --> 01:02:21,239
good on Joe Sarrock. I feel
like he's in every tournament all over the

867
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:27,039
place. Another professional poker player.
He did attend some college community college for

868
01:02:27,119 --> 01:02:30,199
a couple of months, but dropped
out to play poker. Now resides in

869
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:38,800
San Diego, Calalifornia. Now we
have Jordan Griff the chip leader again.

870
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:45,119
Remember Jordan Griff came from ten big
Linds all the way up to ninety big

871
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:47,760
lines, where he finished the day
after hitting a two outer on the river

872
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,320
to stay alive on the very first
hand of day eight. Griff is thirty

873
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:59,440
years old originally from New City,
New York. I wonder if that's supposed

874
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,639
to be New York York City and
they just left that out so they run

875
01:03:01,679 --> 01:03:07,840
on Bio resides in Scottsdale, Arizona. He went to Arizona State University.

876
01:03:07,039 --> 01:03:12,239
He is a He lists his profession
as a supply chain manager. Curious if

877
01:03:12,239 --> 01:03:15,199
that is going to change due to
the fact that he's going to be winning

878
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:20,039
at least one million dollars, if
not more. He's married. He's got

879
01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:22,679
a baby on the way. A
sun is due later this year, so

880
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:28,079
baby run good is a thing for
mister griff. He enjoys sports betting,

881
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:32,400
daily Fantasy Sports. Prior to this, WSP made events just forty seven thousand

882
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:37,480
dollars in career live tournament earnings.
Eleven thousand of that is from the WSFP.

883
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:43,960
He does have three WSP cashes.
He began playing poker in twenty fifteen,

884
01:03:44,119 --> 01:03:49,480
started playing one two Nolan Holdham cash
games while in college. Lists his

885
01:03:49,559 --> 01:03:54,719
strengths at the table as understanding his
table image and also playing off table dynamics.

886
01:03:55,280 --> 01:04:01,320
Jonathan Tomayo is next up. Tomayo
another person who's been around forever.

887
01:04:01,719 --> 01:04:06,119
I can remember him I feel like
again going back to my first weeks or

888
01:04:06,159 --> 01:04:11,480
whatever it was, covering poker.
Thirty eight years old out of Texas.

889
01:04:11,519 --> 01:04:15,760
Went to Cornell University for hotel management. But he's a pro poker player,

890
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:20,920
enjoys golf, fancy hockey, sports, betting. So back in two thousand

891
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:26,599
and nine, Tomayo finished twenty first
in the wsp Man Event for three hundred

892
01:04:26,599 --> 01:04:31,199
and fifty two thousand dollars. Good
score there. He does have four WSB

893
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,559
circuit rings, no bracelets yet,
but sixty three cashes. This is his

894
01:04:35,639 --> 01:04:42,119
sixty fourth cash at the World Series
of Poker two point three million dollars in

895
01:04:42,239 --> 01:04:45,920
live tournament earnings. Ahead of this
one used to play a lot of Turningstone

896
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,400
casino, I guess when he was
attending Cornell University. Mostly now he plays

897
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:55,920
down around where he lives in Houston, but he does travel up to the

898
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,679
World Series of Poker of course,
as so many people do to battle out

899
01:04:59,679 --> 01:05:03,519
here. And yeah, now he's
on poker's biggest stage. Andres Gonzales out

900
01:05:03,519 --> 01:05:10,840
of Spain attended Madrid University. Guess
what another professional poker player. Wow,

901
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,599
there's all pro poker players, all
of them, all of them except for

902
01:05:13,599 --> 01:05:15,920
the chip leader so far two hundred
ninety four thousand dollars in career life tournament

903
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:21,440
earnings. Began playing poker in twenty
fourteen. Began playing with friends. His

904
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:28,920
strength is patience. His weakness is
something we all battle with tilt. Funny

905
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,239
little piece of advice here. They
asked him, what piece of advice would

906
01:05:31,239 --> 01:05:33,119
you give someone playing in the main
event? What do you think? He

907
01:05:33,159 --> 01:05:38,119
said, Ron, good, go
all in with ace, Ace and hold.

908
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,000
Oh that's a good one. That's
a good one, right. Any

909
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,239
thing about King Queen? No,
Okay, Yeah, it's just it's very

910
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,280
tricky hand to play. Sometimes you
get it right, sometimes you get it

911
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:56,039
wrong. All right, Moving on. Jason Segal oldest player at this final

912
01:05:56,079 --> 01:06:00,599
table. I believe forty eight years
old out of Ontario, can now.

913
01:06:00,599 --> 01:06:04,559
He did study law and justice in
school, but didn't graduate. Moved on

914
01:06:04,679 --> 01:06:08,360
and guess what. He's a professional
vocal player. He's married, He's got

915
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:12,239
three kids, ages twenty four,
twenty two, and nineteen. Outside of

916
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:16,400
poker, he enjoys sports and golf, so he also, like Kim,

917
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:23,360
like Tomaio, had a deep run
in the w SPMNE events in twenty or

918
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:27,440
sorry in two thousand and four the
year who won? Who won that year?

919
01:06:28,159 --> 01:06:30,880
Four four? Yeah, that was
mister Raymond. There you go,

920
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,920
twenty third for mister Segel, one
hundred, twenty thousand dollars for him.

921
01:06:34,559 --> 01:06:39,920
He grew up with a lifelong dream
of becoming a police officer, but after

922
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:45,280
a few different career paths, found
himself making a good living playing poker.

923
01:06:45,639 --> 01:06:49,440
I believe he started playing with his
grandmother growing up and said that he guesses

924
01:06:49,519 --> 01:06:54,519
that poker is just in his blood. So been around for quite some time.

925
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,480
After the final table wrapped up,
and you know they did all the

926
01:06:58,519 --> 01:07:01,360
bagging of chips and all that sort
of stuff, Yef Platte or guy caught

927
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,239
up with Jason Segel to talk with
him. So we're gonna pull that interview

928
01:07:05,239 --> 01:07:11,079
for you right now and play it. It's pretty incredible. Obviously the fields

929
01:07:11,159 --> 01:07:13,960
is a little bit bigger, a
lot taught, for a lot more educated.

930
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:18,039
I'm just happy I can still compete. How do you utilize your experience

931
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:25,239
to your advantage? Oh, I'm
definitely. I guess I would say I'm

932
01:07:25,239 --> 01:07:28,280
like pretty calm and collected. I
don't think nothing's gonna phase me. It's

933
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,280
going to be a pretty normal day. I'm treating it like any other tournament.

934
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,679
Just try to play my best.
It just happens to be worth more,

935
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,840
you know. And you don't think
anything's gonna phase your wife, Jennifer,

936
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:41,079
do you She's gonna be a little
more phased than I am. She's

937
01:07:41,159 --> 01:07:45,039
probably happier than I am, too, Like she's just she just like she

938
01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:47,679
says, I, you know,
I'm always on the even feel. I

939
01:07:47,719 --> 01:07:50,280
learned that with poker you get used
to losing, you know, you just

940
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,840
so I try not to get too
high, trying not to get too low,

941
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:58,119
but if I win, I'll probably
get a little high. All right.

942
01:07:58,199 --> 01:08:02,000
That was Jason Segel. I say
this in as nice of a way

943
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:08,719
as I can. Seems boring,
but but like in a good way,

944
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,880
Like he's just not you can tell
he's you can tell he's a professional poke

945
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,400
play and he's been around for a
long time and he's probably seen it all.

946
01:08:14,639 --> 01:08:16,680
He's not gonna let himself get too
high and get ahead of things.

947
01:08:17,199 --> 01:08:20,159
He's also just going to be like, listen, I know this game.

948
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:25,159
I've been there before. I can
lose. Shit can happen, right,

949
01:08:26,079 --> 01:08:29,880
I mean you heard him kind of
reference that there, Yeah, which to

950
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:34,239
some people is boring because you just
you want color and you want animation.

951
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:39,239
But he listen, He's not the
only quote unquote boring person at this final

952
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:45,039
table. All the professional poke players
are probably boring. Now. Us nerds,

953
01:08:45,159 --> 01:08:48,479
us diehards love it because these guys
are all very, very good.

954
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,119
So this is going to make for
a fun final table and good competition.

955
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,640
But if you're on the outside,
if you're a fringe poker fan, you

956
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:59,960
might turn it on on Tuesday or
Wednesday and say this is kind of boring,

957
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,359
right, you know, That's what
I'm getting at. But that's professional

958
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,680
poker. We love it. Not
everyone does. It's not everyone's cup of

959
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:12,319
tea. We didn't play the Jordan
Griff interview, correct. I think I

960
01:09:12,359 --> 01:09:15,800
was saving that one for the last. He also spoke with well he's about

961
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,319
with Jeff Platt actually multiple times throughout
the day. I actually think three times

962
01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:21,680
throughout the day, because they tried
to do the first interview twice. They

963
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:27,199
started doing it. Then Griff kind
of like was talking, but then he

964
01:09:27,239 --> 01:09:29,680
got a hand, so Jeff was
like, go play your hand. And

965
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,800
then Jeff came back a little while
later and like they finished the interview.

966
01:09:32,239 --> 01:09:35,960
I think he started kind of like
telling the hand history and he like got

967
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,039
to the flop or something, and
then Jeff caught him off. I was

968
01:09:39,079 --> 01:09:40,760
like, you have a hand,
and then Jeff came back and was like,

969
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,920
so we made it through the flop, and then they continued on whatever.

970
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,600
But at the end of the day, Jeff caught off with Griff and

971
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,680
you could definitely tell that, like, I think everything was hitting him and

972
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:54,399
understandably. So here's that interview for
you right now. Earlier today, two

973
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,840
outs with one car to come,
he spiked the Queen on the River.

974
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,439
You end the day with the chi
leed going into the World Series of Poker

975
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:06,720
main event. I can see you
shaking. How's it hitting you right now?

976
01:10:08,399 --> 01:10:13,359
It's tons of emotions. It's it's
insane, it's a dream, it's

977
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,920
it's it's it's more than I ever
wished for. And like, I mean,

978
01:10:16,399 --> 01:10:19,000
it's gonna be a crazy day Tuesday. I'm excited for it. But

979
01:10:19,199 --> 01:10:24,880
like, wow, Wow, you're
becoming a dad soon. Is there some

980
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,760
already some baby run good in the
works? Oh my god, Yeah,

981
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,760
that's my wife, is Sammy.
It's a real thing. Yeah, hopefully

982
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,479
that's the thing. And hopefully I
can continue it on Tuesday and hopefully in

983
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:40,560
the Wednesday, and I'm going to
get some sleep tomorrow. And wow,

984
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,000
I mean, I'm just I'm at
a loss for words right now. You

985
01:10:43,079 --> 01:10:45,600
mentioned tomorrow. How in the world
are you going to get some sleep tonight?

986
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,960
That's I'm really hoping that I can
get some I mean, it's been

987
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:54,000
a long grind, so I think
I'm worn down a bit. Hopefully the

988
01:10:54,039 --> 01:10:58,279
adrenaline wears off at some point,
but I mean, oh my god,

989
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,319
this is just saying the emotions are
at an all time high. It's it's

990
01:11:02,359 --> 01:11:06,439
been a roller coaster all day today. I mean, third day, six,

991
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:12,479
day seven, and today it's just
been incredible highs lows. And I

992
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,880
mean, I'm here now. We
can't do a draft of our final table

993
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:20,000
because the final table's done. So
who do you want in your final three?

994
01:11:20,239 --> 01:11:24,800
Oh? That's good because the plan
right now, and this is obviously

995
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:29,039
subject changes, it always is,
is go from nine to three on the

996
01:11:29,039 --> 01:11:30,960
first day. You know, sometimes
we go nine to four. Sometimes you'll

997
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,359
go nine to five, and maybe
it just it depends how long that takes.

998
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:40,640
Right, Who's in your who's your
fantasy final three? Sir Brian Kim

999
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:45,960
Nicholas has to Joseph Sak. You've
got to be a pretty intense three handed

1000
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:51,119
battle right there. But like with
aggression, Yeah, I mean I like

1001
01:11:51,399 --> 01:11:56,479
Brian Kim Nicholas Austet and I'm not
sure on the other one yet. I

1002
01:11:56,479 --> 01:12:00,520
mean, Joe Soarrock would be great. I think Jason's could be cool.

1003
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:06,239
You know, like then you got
the you got the same sort of storyline

1004
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:09,720
of you know, he was this, he was deep like this before,

1005
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,880
but he's coming back. He's also
the older guy at the table battling with

1006
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,039
the younger guys. So I think
I'm gonna go Jason Segel there, so

1007
01:12:16,039 --> 01:12:20,600
I'm gonna go Ostett Kim Segel.
So two of the three the similar ones.

1008
01:12:21,319 --> 01:12:26,079
I'm excited for this found table.
Like the nerd in me, I've

1009
01:12:26,119 --> 01:12:28,760
been saying it all along. I
want the good players, I want the

1010
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:32,399
killers at the final table. I
think I think we got a really good

1011
01:12:32,399 --> 01:12:35,319
final table. Yeah, I mean
obviously, I think you know, we

1012
01:12:35,359 --> 01:12:39,680
would have all loved to have seen
Kristen Fox and make it. It's kind

1013
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:44,119
of a weird benchmark in a way, because you know, we go through

1014
01:12:44,119 --> 01:12:48,840
this every year with a woman or
women making a run, and then we

1015
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,760
start talking about this sort of thing, you know, are they going to

1016
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,159
make the found table. We haven't
had a woman at the fil table since

1017
01:12:56,239 --> 01:13:00,439
nineteen ninety five, but in nineteen
ninety five, can you look it up

1018
01:13:01,079 --> 01:13:04,000
when Barbara Enwright made the final table? How many players were in the event?

1019
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:11,119
Bro to Google? How many?
Two hundred and ten that's my guess.

1020
01:13:11,199 --> 01:13:16,479
I'll say one seventy one to seventy
three, two seventy three. So

1021
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,159
what's better Barbara and right making the
final table then, or Kristen Fox and

1022
01:13:20,199 --> 01:13:26,520
finishing in thirteenth place from ten thousand
and one hundred and twelve players? Better

1023
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,720
in what way? Though? And
like, what's what's harder to do?

1024
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:31,840
Well? Obviously Kristen? Yeah,
I know, But that that's kind of

1025
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:38,239
what I'm getting at, is that
the celebration runs flat because she didn't make

1026
01:13:38,359 --> 01:13:42,039
this this checkpoint of the final table. That's the whole thing about the main

1027
01:13:42,079 --> 01:13:45,960
of whine is checkpoints. It's making
day two, making day three, making

1028
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:49,279
the money, you know, but
it's that should still be incredibly celebrated that

1029
01:13:49,399 --> 01:13:53,920
she made it as far as she
did. It is I think, But

1030
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,720
he says like, I don't I
mean, she's just an incredible poker player

1031
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,520
all around. Yeah, you know, so it's I don't know, I

1032
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,520
just get the sense that it's not
a male female thing. It's just she's

1033
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,479
just flat out incredible. And she
even said in her interview, you know

1034
01:14:11,039 --> 01:14:15,800
that she hopes that this kind of
just shows women that you can play with

1035
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,439
men, the women can play with
the men attendees. To see about the

1036
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,920
way, huh decreasing women attendees.
I remember, well we talked about those

1037
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:28,680
numbers. It went down from Lassia. Yeah, I mean that's a I

1038
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,840
guess the topic for a different day. You know, it went down.

1039
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,279
But but it's also like it's one
of those things where we only we're only

1040
01:14:34,319 --> 01:14:39,560
looking at this one event and and
like this is the one we put into

1041
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,159
the microscope and analyze and try,
and then we try and then take that

1042
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,239
and say like, oh, well
it's down in the ws BE made events,

1043
01:14:45,239 --> 01:14:48,880
so maybe it's down everywhere. What
if the numbers were up across the

1044
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:54,359
world series, right then we could
be like, yeah, female participation is

1045
01:14:54,399 --> 01:14:57,159
better, but but just specific to
this one event. I mean that's very

1046
01:14:57,199 --> 01:14:59,800
hard to do. I think you
have to look on a much much bigger

1047
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:05,039
pick. Sure, my just quickly
my sense on and I haven't like run

1048
01:15:05,079 --> 01:15:10,520
any numbers. I'm just basically speaking
anecdotally what I see, what I hear.

1049
01:15:11,399 --> 01:15:15,840
It seems like women in poker,
that that thing is healthy. Like

1050
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:21,520
you have a lot more like women's
events or series or Women's Week or whatever

1051
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:24,880
it may be. Like you have
the stuff that goes on in December with

1052
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,279
the wind doing stuff, you know, in other places around town. You

1053
01:15:28,399 --> 01:15:30,359
got stuff that happened here at the
summer. Like I feel like it's healthier

1054
01:15:30,399 --> 01:15:34,159
than it's ever been. I mean, maybe I'm wrong there, and I'm

1055
01:15:34,199 --> 01:15:39,560
just like I'm just seeing the wrong
things, but I do feel like it's

1056
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:44,039
it's healthier and it's out there more, which which is a good sign overall

1057
01:15:44,079 --> 01:15:46,239
for the direction that I think everyone
wants it to go in. What do

1058
01:15:46,279 --> 01:15:48,840
you got thoughts on the final table? Give me like your three big picture

1059
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:54,439
thoughts. They can be whatever you
want. I think you've kind of just

1060
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:58,800
touched on the Christy Fox and stuff, that thing. You know, people

1061
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,560
are gonna think it's a little bit
of a dis appointment in the final table

1062
01:16:01,119 --> 01:16:05,640
not having her there. She's the
big storyline the whole way. That's that's

1063
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:10,239
the first thing I think of.
Second part. I look at that little

1064
01:16:10,279 --> 01:16:14,239
murderous row of players, you know, Brian Kim, Nicholas as that,

1065
01:16:14,399 --> 01:16:18,560
and Joseph Rock, And if you
look at it a little deeper, you

1066
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:25,079
got some absolute crushes at this table, you know, Brian and Nicholas right

1067
01:16:25,119 --> 01:16:28,840
next to each other. And if
we get those guys among the final three,

1068
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:33,960
it's gonna be an intense, intense
three handed battle and hopefully you know,

1069
01:16:34,079 --> 01:16:36,920
heads up match. Third. Don't
really have a third one off the

1070
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,319
top of my head, so you
should you go to you do someth I

1071
01:16:40,319 --> 01:16:43,640
mean I already talked about it with
like quote unquote killers. I mean you

1072
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,680
got Brian Caim, you got Nicholas
Ostet, you know, throw throw jose

1073
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:51,359
Rock in there. I think everyone's
played pretty well overall. I know it's

1074
01:16:51,399 --> 01:16:55,119
easy to just default with Jason Sega
and be like, oh, he's the

1075
01:16:55,159 --> 01:16:58,840
old guy whatever, But it's been
a round forever, yeah, you know,

1076
01:16:59,119 --> 01:17:01,159
grinding, making a living at this
game. So yeah, he might

1077
01:17:01,199 --> 01:17:08,560
not play quote unquote gto you know, but I think he's gonna have a

1078
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:13,479
good feel for things out there,
and maybe could throw these these younger guys,

1079
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,319
these more theory based guys for a
little bit of a loop, which

1080
01:17:15,359 --> 01:17:18,840
will be interesting to see. So
so you know that that kind of thing,

1081
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,359
you know, what I wanted,
I think I got. So that's

1082
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:26,079
kind of my first storyline. I
think Joe so I rock. Well,

1083
01:17:26,119 --> 01:17:30,520
I'll pair Joe so Iroc with Jonathan
Tomayo in terms of just the pro who's

1084
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:34,720
been around forever in a lot of
ways, paid their dues and almost like

1085
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:38,760
deserve to break through and get this. You know, you see this a

1086
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:42,920
lot in sports where people just play
play, play, play play, and

1087
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,399
like they never get a championship,
and then they finally get one, you

1088
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,640
know, and it's like, yeah, they deserve to get one in a

1089
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,840
lot of ways, Like they've put
in their time, they've gone through it,

1090
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:55,760
like they've experienced the ups and downs
and everything in between. And I

1091
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:59,359
think, you know, Joe so
Irac and Jonathan Tomiow have experienced that.

1092
01:17:59,399 --> 01:18:03,039
You know, they've played countless tournaments
who the heck knows for many many years.

1093
01:18:03,039 --> 01:18:08,359
They've been all over battling these things, and yeah they're getting the breakout.

1094
01:18:09,119 --> 01:18:14,439
It's not a breakout in the most
common sense where like you're emerging onto

1095
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:17,279
the scene. But it's like this
is a thing that like you play for

1096
01:18:17,359 --> 01:18:24,399
your entire career to make this tournament, this final table and hopefully gets your

1097
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,960
retirement fun. Like that's what you
try and do. So yeah, so

1098
01:18:28,039 --> 01:18:30,039
shout out to them. I mean, I guess the other thing is is

1099
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:33,960
is Griff where he's like, he's
so far ahead, do you think he

1100
01:18:34,039 --> 01:18:39,600
can ride it to the final three? Everyone else is a professional poker player,

1101
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:45,159
correct, He's the only one that
didn't list professional poker player. Even

1102
01:18:45,319 --> 01:18:49,640
I think it was Malo Latinois said
professional poker player and then like formerly whatever,

1103
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:54,439
he was software engineer or something,
you know, so he wasn't always

1104
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,960
a professional poker player, but did
make the change more recently. All these

1105
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,199
other guys are professional poker players.
Griff listed on his thing, you know,

1106
01:19:01,279 --> 01:19:05,039
supply chain manager, and I think
you can kind of tell by the

1107
01:19:05,079 --> 01:19:09,920
way he plays his mannerisms at the
table even off the table, the stuff

1108
01:19:10,079 --> 01:19:13,439
you know in the interview with Jeff, like getting worked up like he's the

1109
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,680
amateur. If there's an amateur,
he's the amateur. Or he's more of

1110
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,920
a recreational than the others. Let's
say, not that I'm saying that in

1111
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:26,119
a bad thing, but he's probably
closer to the everyman in some sort of

1112
01:19:26,159 --> 01:19:30,319
ways than these other players, so
maybe that can resonate with people. And

1113
01:19:30,359 --> 01:19:32,560
he comes in with a huge chip
lead, right, So he's in pole

1114
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:38,720
position to try and close this thing
down. And it's hard because you know,

1115
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:45,000
you you might want like random players, not killers, not really good

1116
01:19:45,039 --> 01:19:48,079
players, not known names, to
win this thing, because then it keeps

1117
01:19:48,119 --> 01:19:54,960
that dream alive. And if that's
your thing, then I think you're gonna

1118
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,800
cling to Jordan Griff and be like
he's the one that keeps that dream alive.

1119
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,119
Value real quick, Yeah, we
gotta died the chop value. Let's

1120
01:20:01,159 --> 01:20:05,319
go hold on, let me guess. Okay, three point nine little less

1121
01:20:05,359 --> 01:20:11,319
three point four seven to two,
Oh so you know more than fourth place

1122
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:16,800
money. I'm always curious what happens
at this stage, Like do these guys

1123
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,720
talk to each other? Do they
all try and get age the number being

1124
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:23,199
like, hey, let's let's do
a save, let's do this, let's

1125
01:20:23,199 --> 01:20:25,319
do that. Like I don't know, I feel like they kind of don't

1126
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:29,760
maybe three handed, Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

1127
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,880
I don't know. We do some
digging. Huh, we'll do some

1128
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,680
digging. I'll try and do some
digging. You never know. Do we

1129
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:38,239
have other stuff to talk about?
I think we should save some of that

1130
01:20:38,279 --> 01:20:41,920
stuff with tomorrow. Yes, let's
let's do all the other stuff tomorrow.

1131
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:47,319
Thankfully, you are, you're coming
around, coming around, You're coming around,

1132
01:20:47,399 --> 01:20:50,359
sir. All right, that's gonna
do it. On wrapping up the

1133
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:56,199
making of the twenty twenty four w
SIP Main Event Final Table, it was

1134
01:20:56,199 --> 01:20:58,479
a super fun day, by the
way. It also it went much faster

1135
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,119
than I thought, way faster.
It went exactly the amount of time I

1136
01:21:01,119 --> 01:21:03,479
thought, Wow, okay, I
don't know. I just thought, you

1137
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:08,039
know, it would take a little
while, especially with all these I said

1138
01:21:08,079 --> 01:21:11,319
seven hours. I think it was
about seven. Yeah, okay, I

1139
01:21:11,399 --> 01:21:14,000
mean you're better at that than I
am, for sure. So the plan

1140
01:21:14,199 --> 01:21:19,800
is for the Final Table players day
off on Monday. I'm sure many of

1141
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:25,720
them will be sleeping long, long
hours. Some of them will also be

1142
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:30,279
doing some studying and whatnot. We'll
see how that all goes. Two pm

1143
01:21:30,319 --> 01:21:35,600
start time, Vegas time on Tuesday, July sixteenth. Again, the Final

1144
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:41,720
Table will be played in two parts. The first day on Tuesday. The

1145
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:46,359
tentative plan right now is to play
from nine down to three. Those three

1146
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,119
will go home for the night,
rest up, come back the next day,

1147
01:21:50,399 --> 01:21:56,800
and finish it off to a ten
million dollar world champion. Again.

1148
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,760
Everyone left guaranteed one million dollars.

1152
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,319
