00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,880
Hello everyone, Welcome back to a
new episode of the Poker Go Podcast.

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,879
My name is Donny Peters. I
am joined by Tim Duckworth. Day seven

3
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:25,640
of the World, who is a
poker main event. Just wrapped up here

4
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:30,960
at the Horseshoe, Las Vegas,
down on the fabulous Las Vegas Strip.

5
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:36,039
Rainy, wit yeah, rainy way, kind of dust, stormy, foggy,

6
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,479
overcast, all that sort of stuff. Some lightning out there as well,

7
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,039
So storms are coming. I joked
with a friend that came into town,

8
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:46,119
storms are coming. It's called the
main of NFL. Sable baby.

9
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:49,200
I had a friend coming to town
today. She's British and I said,

10
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,039
it's British you. I say something
like, you British girls brought in all

11
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:57,840
the bad weather. We haven't had
rain here in three hundred dice. I'm

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,079
not a fan of British girls.
I'm not a fan of British accents.

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:07,239
I love what yep. The British
accent is maybe the worst in the top

14
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,680
accent, the worst, number one, It could be number one. I

15
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,280
mean, I'm just saying, give
me a British accent any day of the

16
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,640
week. I'm all in, like
strong, Yeah, I'm all in on

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,760
British accent. I'm not. I'm
for sure not. Ok We are down

18
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:26,200
to eighteen players in the twenty twenty
four World Series of Poker Main Event,

19
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:32,480
the record breaking World Series of Poker
Main Events, the greatest poker tournament in

20
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,760
the world. Okay, right,
no, no, just just in the

21
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,200
world, man, just in the
world. The players, the remaining eighteen

22
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,840
players are all guaranteed three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. We're going to recap

23
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,719
the action today, everything that went
down, very very very exciting day on

24
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:56,599
the felt I guess we also got
to talk about some other stuff that happened

25
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:59,200
here. Even though I only want
to talk about the main event, only

26
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:00,920
the main Event, I almost feel
like we need two different podcasts, two

27
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:05,840
different eppisodes quickly. That's what I
do. If you notice, I do

28
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,840
the main event mostly, and I
say, and then take it over and

29
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:12,120
just on your Instagram. It's NOTT
checking stuff. And I don't go on

30
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:14,840
my Instagram. My phone stays right
here on the But when I take of

31
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,719
a you, we definitely don't go
on my Instagram video today. That's fine.

32
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:22,400

but you won't get anything. As

36
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:36,759
need two winners, buddy, what
are we giving a wife fist? We're

37
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:39,240
still doing two night Shift shirts because
the Nightshift is back. It is absolutely

38
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,319
mother f and elite. The Nightshift
is the greatest show. Can I say

39
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,840
the greatest show on television? It
is tremendous. It's definitely not the greatest

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,199
show on television, but it's you
can say it's tremendous. It's just so

41
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,520
good. It's so good. I
just listened to Ali say on on the

42
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,080
broadcast. We're not going to stick
a truro in him just yet about the

43
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,680
Mexican player who spiked a four to
double up being that's pretty good. I

44
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:15,319
mean, the cartel might be coming
after him, but he gone. I

45
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,280
feel like Ali is you know,
all right? You know what Ali is

46
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:22,319
just he's a guy who like he
likes to live on the edge verbal,

47
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,000
verbally, you know, and at
some point he might get punched in the

48
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,960
face, but you know, we
all love him near and near to our

49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,879
hearts of course, just the absolute
goat in the booth right alongside the other

50
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,039
goat, Nick Shulman. I mean
it's just, I mean it's it's just,

51
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,280
it's a tantem un like we've ever
seen before. It really is.

52
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,840
Yeah, two winners in honor of
the night Shift. We'll give up talking

53
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,800
about Miguel. We need two numbers
on a night shift shirt, by the

54
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,520
way, on the eighty six.
Two numbers on the eighty six. Also

55
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,000
the knight Shift shirt. Yeah,
the knight Shift shirt needs to be redone.

56
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,599
It does ten. Let's check if
we have ten. We already have

57
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,800
a winner for ten. I tried
to I tried to pick ten yesterday.

Floyd were prohibited, no purchase necessary. Visit poker gro dot com slash

85
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:15,600
rules for official terms. WSOP main
event down to eighteen players. Everyone is

86
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:19,600
guaranteed three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. But they're gonna come back and they

87
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,879
immediately have a six figure pay jump, the first six figure pay jump of

88
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:32,920
the tournament, because seventeenth place four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars wowsers a lot

89
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:38,120
of money. There's a lot of
money. They came back today with fifty

90
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:45,879
nine players. Our guy Stevensong was
not able to spin it up Team DPMC,

91
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,279
but he didn't get us the field
bonus. So I'm not going to

92
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:53,439
complain at all. I'm not gonna
say win some other events that is very

93
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:55,720
true. That is very true.
I heard he hopped into I think the

94
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,120
ten K six Max. But Stevensong
went out in fifty seventh place. He

95
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,680
jammed all in with Ace nine.
He ran into Ace Queen. Believe it

96
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,720
was Jonathan Tomayo who had the Ace
Queen and that was all she wrote for

97
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,439
Stephen Song. Now we also lost
Alex Keating in fifty fifth place. We

98
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,040
lost Jesse Capps, the fun Jesse
Capps in fifty first place. Now in

99
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:26,920
forty eighth place, we lost Kevin
Davis, who came into the day as

100
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:30,800
the chip leader. So I'm a
bit puzzled as to what the heck happened?

101
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,879
Is the lost is the hand in
the blog? I hope? So

102
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,600
yeah, but I know that that's
a from type of C. So maybe

103
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,120
not is what you're gonna say.
Yeah, the Table Sea stuff is just

104
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:47,480
I mean, if I were to
grade it, I would give it a

105
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,319
C. I mean, had someone
tell me that the coverage was fantastic,

106
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,279
and all I could picture was your
face getting upset the stuff that we would

107
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:59,600
like to add to it to make
even better. Yeah, I mean,

108
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,000
it's oh, Kevin Davis here,
so he so he wasn't eliminated on the

109
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:09,879
kings versus Ace's hand. Hes like
left with the couple big bonds. Maybe.

110
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,759
So here's what happened over on Table
C, which is essentially the third

111
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,360
feature table. We have three feature
tables. You have the main one up

112
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,079
on the main set. You have
the secondary one, which you know is

113
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,879
one of the there's two outer ones. The secondary one has it has card

114
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:30,160
graphics, and then there's a third
one that we cut over to every once

115
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,279
in a while, but it doesn't
have actual card graphics. So really the

116
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,879
only time that you see the cards
is when there's an all on a call.

117
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,720
This happened to be one of them. So Kevin Davis, who started

118
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,679
the day as the chip leader,
six time WSB circuit ring winner Kevin Davis

119
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:50,960
out of Kentucky, he battled with
Gerardo Hernandez, who is actually the Mexican

120
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,879
player that Ali made the cherill comment
about later on in the broadcast. They're

121
00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:58,759
playing one twenty five, two hundred
and fifty thousand. Davis makes it six

122
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,200
hundred thousand from under the Hernandez three
bets to two million in the cutoff seat.

123
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:11,639
Davis comes back with a four bet
to six point one million, Hernandez

124
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,120
jams for nineteen point six million.
At the time, Davis had a little

125
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,639
bit more, not too much more. I think he came into the day

126
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,000
with a little bit over twenty six
maybe twenty seven million, but he had

127
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,759
a little bit over twenty million.
He snaps off the jam from Hernandez with

128
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:31,440
two kings, only to see that
Hernandez has the rockets. Baby. Nothing

129
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:37,559
comes for Davis on the flop and
he's left with fewer than five hundred thousand

130
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:41,879
chips, and then he was eliminated
shortly thereafter. So I mean, just

131
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,960
a bit of unfortunate on Day seven
four. Kevin Davis, You know,

132
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,200
you can't really say that he blew
up like some of the some of the

133
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:52,360
Day seven chip leaders that we've seen
kind of blow up or punt their sacks

134
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:58,360
in the past. Didn't really wouldn't
wouldn't certainly wouldn't call it a meltdown.

135
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:00,279
I mean, you have kings,
Dasis, I mean, what are you

136
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,360
going to do. It's just a
brutal spot a cooler, and Kevin Days

137
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,679
was eventually out the door in forty
eighth place. Who else did we lose

138
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,360
after that? That's of note.
We lost Russell Rosenbloom in forty sixth place.

139
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,480
So I saw a statistic on Twitter, mister statman. Oh, people

140
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,679
were questioning if he's the only player
to I think it was make the final

141
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:31,360
table in like the two thousands of
the WSP MADEVN when did he make the

142
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,720
found table? Look this up?
But it was but it was make the

143
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:39,600
final table in like some year and
then finished top fifty like later on something

144
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:46,759
like that. Two thousand and two
he finished sixth and yeah, six yeah,

145
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:50,559
and then he came forty six forty
six this year. So basically they're

146
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,639
just, you know, they're saying, like, listen, very good you

147
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:56,759
know, two runs like this for
Russell Rosenbloom, which it was a very

148
00:10:56,759 --> 00:11:01,799
good run. So someone's saying it
was said again what they said they said,

149
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,279
like, is there anyone else who
did he also make? Did he

150
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,519
make the found table twice? Two
thousand and nine and then two thousand and

151
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,159
yeah, twenty one, I would
I would have to look up. It

152
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,360
was like a random account that said
it, or maybe Greg Ramer said it.

153
00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:20,720
There It is. This is like
when Sports Center says Lebron James is

154
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,039
the first thirty eight year old just
scored twelve points, fourteen rebounds and six

155
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,879
blocks on January fifth, nine,
twenty twenty four. It's one of those

156
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:31,240
things. It's like if you had
to manipulate the stats of the okay,

157
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,399
how you qualify? Here's what I
found it on social Greg Ramer. Greg

158
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,559
Ramer said, no, he didn't
actually come. He didn't actually come with

159
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:43,080
a stat that's water. How did
it explode? Okay? He said,

160
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:50,000
a huge congratulation, congratulate, congratudolences, congratulate adolences. I can't even say

161
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,480
graduate. Yeah. Whatever. To
Russell Rosenboom on his forty six place finished

162
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,159
in the dest Be Maine event.
Although he made the final table and finished

163
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,960
sixth in twenty two, he actually
beat a much higher percentage of the field

164
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:09,399
this time. See you next year
when we both make the final table and

165
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:18,799
then at heads Exploding responded and said, has any other poker player final table

166
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,720
the main event in the two thousands
and finished in the top fifty in the

167
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:31,200
twenty twenties? As anyone responded,
there's one response, and it was Andy

168
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,679
Block who said, I believe you
are correct, but he asked a question,

169
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,720
So that's not really I'm going in
answer you're going in here, I'm

170
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:43,159
going in. I'm just gonna double
check Jock codd a right, without even

171
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,080
doing any research, I'm pretty sure. But the in the twenty twenties,

172
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:50,440
twenty twenty one, didn't he finish? I don't. I don't remember if

173
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,840
it was like twenty nineteen or what
wasn't twenty nineteen. I can't remember the

174
00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:58,480
eighteen fifth. Yeah, so that
doesn't count, damn it. See so

175
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,840
it's closed, but it doesn't count. But I mean it's still like I

176
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,399
think that would twenty eighteen is closer
to the twenty twenties than it is to

177
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:13,600
like two thousand and five, right, I mean it's just a different era

178
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:18,279
of poker for sure. Yeah,
you know so so yeah, I can

179
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,679
definitely find it definitely financeer this,
Yeah, I mean I think you could

180
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,279
for sure. It's top twenty to
fifty. I was looking just file tables,

181
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,559
top fifty. Yeah, no,
he says, top fifty. Has

182
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,480
any other poker table poker player,
excuse me? Final table the main event

183
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,440
in the two thousands, and finished
in the top fifty in the twenty twenties.

184
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:43,919
An incredibly impressive performance by Russ Rose
Rosenboom. I mean, listen,

185
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:50,200
very very good performance. From Russell
Rosenbum and great to pair those two things

186
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,240
back to back. I mean,
one of the players, Jason Segel finished

187
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,039
twenty third in two thousand and four. He's still in in the final eighteen,

188
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,559
so I mean that's pretty incredible if
you ask me. I mean,

189
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,600
how about Brian Kim as well twenty
twenty two finished twenty third. I believe

190
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,720
it was, and he's still in. I mean that's pretty wild, right.

191
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,879
I know it's not final table,
but a final table in twenty twenty

192
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,200
in two thousand and two versus a
top twenty five finish or a final three

193
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,720
table finish in two thousand and twenty
two. It's kind of comparable, right,

194
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:28,039
I mean, just given the way
that the fields are, the difficulty

195
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,360
in poker and all that sort of
stuff. All right, So Kevin Davis

196
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:37,440
forty eighth, Russell Rosenbloom forty six. Then we lost bracelet winner Nick Chivkov

197
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:43,519
and forty third, Brandon Cantu,
Philamy's best friend out in thirty ninth,

198
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:50,159
Alex Shilkoh in thirty six place.
So Sheilkoh won the PSPC. I don't

199
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,799
remember if it was the last one
or the one before that. You can

200
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,720
possibly look that up. I don't
know what you're doing. We don't need

201
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,600
to do that right now, Come
on, stay on top of that.

202
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:05,879
I already found it. Well,
we need to find Alexander Schilko. He

203
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:11,279
won the PSBC in twenty twenty three
for three point one two million buckeroos,

204
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:16,120
had a deep run here in this
event, thirty sixth place for two hundred

205
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:18,480
and fifty thousand dollars. I played
with him last year or maybe the year

206
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,919
before, for almost a full day. Very very tough player, very very

207
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,840
tough player. What am I looking
for? Nothing? I already figured it

208
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:33,840
out. Arthur Morris Poker podcast pro
Arthur Morris finally had his rock luck excuse

209
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:41,240
me run out in thirty fourth place. He took three hundred thousand dollars home

210
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,559
for his finish. You know he
was, I believe it was pretty grateful,

211
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:50,080
appreciative of the opportunity. After he
busted out, he did speak with

212
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,919
Jeff Platt, So let's play that
interview for you right now. What a

213
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,320
run in the main for Arthur Morris. What's it like to go through the

214
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,679
ups and the downs this tournament?
Man, it's just the most incredible tournament

215
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,480
in the world. There's moments where
you feel total euphoria, you feel invincible,

216
00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:10,679
and then there's moments where you're back
at two big lines, you know,

217
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:12,919
praying, trying to figure out how
many hands you have before you're blinded

218
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:18,080
out. I mean, I was
under two bigs on four different occasions.

219
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,080
To get this far. Took an
incredible amount of good fortune and you know,

220
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,559
a will power. I guess it's
like a test of endurance. It's

221
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:26,799
an awesome tournament. I heard you
tell somebody, how could I be unhappy

222
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:30,200
with this run? Is that a
good way to sum it up for you?

223
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,879
Yeah? I mean, like,
I don't think I made a critical

224
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:37,120
mistake, which I just wanted to
come out and play as well as I

225
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,799
think I'm capable of playing. And
you know, Brian opened, I had

226
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,080
ten bigs with tens and like I
found a spot, and you know,

227
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,120
he's a friend, and I'm glad. I'm glought it was him. I

228
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,000
he was gonna lose, and I'm
kind of proud of myself. I feel

229
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,600
like I put I'll good fight out, all right. That was Arthur Morris,

230
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:56,840
three hundred k in the bank for
him just skipping the rest of the

231
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,759
series. Really, I mean yeah, I don't know how you can make

232
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,480
day seven and the maniment knock on, I'd be like, I'm out of

233
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:14,920
here, see you guys the f
later. Who else we got? Mentioned

234
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,640
canto? Right? I did mention
Kantuo? So who's that my arrest?

235
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:26,440
Yeah, well I haven't got there
yet. Shunden Chiao one of two women

236
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:33,680
remaining. She ultimately goes out in
twenty eighth place. She made a i'll

237
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:40,319
say ambitious play with two tens against
I forget who it was who had ace

238
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,559
deuce and flopped two pair. I
think it was Ace four duce or Ace

239
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,960
three duce, one of those,
but Xiao lost a chunk of chips there.

240
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:52,640
She ultimately goes out I don't know
an hour or so later. She

241
00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:56,960
finished in twenty eighth place for three
hundre k. But listen in extremely impressive

242
00:17:56,079 --> 00:18:03,160
showing from her. She hasn't been
around poker for too long, but everything

243
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,720
that I've seen shows me that she
might be around for quite a bit of

244
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:10,599
time, you know, just reading
through her bio. She is a software

245
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,400
engineer by trade. She has a
resume that includes working for I believe it

246
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,319
was Google, Amazon, and LinkedIn. I mean, those are some heavy

247
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:25,000
hitter companies, and when you have
those companies on your resume alongside software engineer,

248
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,799
tells me you're probably pretty successful.
So that combined with the fact that

249
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,319
she cashed for three hundred k in
this event, you know, I think

250
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,640
she's probably going to have a decent
sized bankroll to be able to continue forging

251
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,519
forward in poker. And that's great. You know, I thought she played

252
00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:45,799
really well. Shout out to Shundan
Chiao. I'm sure this won't be the

253
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:52,160
last time we hear from her.
Orson young popular player pro been around a

254
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,319
long time, finished in twenty sixth
place, and then Brian Rast the poker

255
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:03,359
legend, he goes out in twenty
fourth place. Rass never really seemed to

256
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,640
like like play like massive pots or
anything. It was always kind of just

257
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,400
like steady, kind of chipping away
at stuff, you know, not getting

258
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,319
too like like like some of these
people, like I mean Arthur Morris.

259
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:19,759
Going back to him, right,
it wasn't until I think day five that

260
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,559
he at least he said he hadn't
gotten his money in and was like all

261
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,160
in and at risk until day five. But then after that, I mean

262
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:30,079
Arthur Morris, because he got short
in a couple of spots that he was

263
00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,680
all in a lot, right,
and he survived a bunch, But Brian

264
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:37,000
Rass, like I really don't think
was all in at all until his final

265
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:42,200
hand and then ultimately, you know, busts out. But listen, he

266
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,640
did an interview a bust out an
interview with Jeff Platt, and you could

267
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,880
feel it, man, because you
just got the sense, you know,

268
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,480
the energy that that I know,
Brian Rass has had an incredibly successful career.

269
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,720
He's got sixsop goal right, so
he's got god knows how much money

270
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,960
in UH tournament winnings. Obviously a
high stakes crusher. He was inducted into

271
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,759
the Hall of Fame last year.
Like, I mean, he's he's got

272
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:12,119
everything as a poker player, right, but you're still so close, yeah,

273
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,440
to poker's pinnacle, that being the
wast main event, final table and

274
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,000
then ultimately the winner circle in the
greatest tournament in the world. And you

275
00:20:22,039 --> 00:20:26,440
could tell that he felt it,
you know, even though that he's seen

276
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,519
almost everything in this game, probably
has seen everything in this game, right,

277
00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,319
So yeah, I mean he said, you know, even though like

278
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,720
someone like him, you know,
you come into this event, you sign

279
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:40,279
up every single year you play,
You're gonna play it next year and every

280
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:44,839
other year that you can, you
know, but it still feels impossible that

281
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,880
you're gonna make it this far,
you're gonna make it to the final table.

282
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,920
But you make it to day seven. You know, you're looking around,

283
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:56,319
there's three tables left. You're like, I can, like I can,

284
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,160
I can touch it, Like it's
there, Like you know, I

285
00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:02,599
just got to do a couple things
right, A couple things break my way,

286
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,720
and like boom, I'm in the
final nine and we're dancing right.

287
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:10,279
Ultimately, Brian Rask goes out in
twenty fourth place. The Poker Hall of

288
00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:12,920
Famer takes home three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. And we'll play that interview

289
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,319
for you right now. And this
has been one up and down tournament for

290
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,920
you. What's it been like to
battle through the swings of the main event.

291
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:30,200
I mean, man, it's been
an incredible journey. Like I thought

292
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:36,400
the PPC was a grueling tournament like
five days like this, but like here

293
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,319
we are on day seven. I
am fucking exhausted right now. And I

294
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:49,599
mean, like I just have such
like mixed emotions because it's like feels impossible

295
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,920
to go this far in this tournament, and I'm like, like I'm never

296
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,720
gonna do this again, you know, like seven days. But at the

297
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,200
same time, I'm just like it
sucks, but like I'm really kind of

298
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,559
grateful, Like this was a cool
experience. I want some money, I

299
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:11,920
got to have a lot of fun
playing. It just hurts. And finally

300
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,839
you said it was impossible. But
with that said, was there a point

301
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,839
in this journey where you allow yourself
to think I could really win this thing?

302
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:26,079
Man? I know that was that
just wasn't the way I was letting

303
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,400
my mind operate this. I just
think like when you start attaching to specially

304
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,880
future outcomes, but like even just
what happened in the past while you're still

305
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:40,799
playing, it's just a recipe for
suboptimal performance. So I was just trying

306
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:45,880
to go into every day going like
I'm just gonna try to play one handed

307
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,880
poker at a time and get through
the day and we see what happens,

308
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:53,759
you know, the next day,
and just like kind of break break it

309
00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:57,279
down and compartmentalize it like that,
because I think there's just no other way

310
00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:00,359
to approach this. Like if you
start thinking like, oh, what if

311
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,640
I win and this, like,
I don't think like anybody's mind is gonna

312
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,720
let them handle that and perform well
at the table, right because it's just

313
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:11,839
too much like ten million dollars like
main event champion banner on the thing,

314
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,160
like you're like you're gonna think about
that and like play good poker at the

315
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,559
table. There's just no way.
So again, I think you could really

316
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:22,680
feel it, you know, through
the interview, through his emotion, what

317
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:26,880
he felt there. And I think
he even put on Twitter not too long

318
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,880
ago basically like he's gonna go get
wasted or something like you know, what

319
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,200
do you do right now? I'm
gonna go get wasted. I mean,

320
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:40,839
don't blame you, Brian great run. So twenty second place a player probably

321
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,359
not a lot of people know about, but Luis Vasquez out of the Northeast

322
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,319
has been playing poker since like two
thousand and seven, two thousand and eight,

323
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,559
something like that. Good friends with
a good friend of mine, Ronnie

324
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:53,519
Barta. So you know, I
was introduced to Luis a while ago.

325
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:56,960
I've you know, known him,
like don't don't know him super well,

326
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,759
but know him. But the reason
why I bring this one is because what

327
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:07,559
ultimately led to Vasquez's demise. In
twenty second place was a massive pot with

328
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:15,720
Brian Kim where it went raised from
Hernandez from I think either the hijack or

329
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,680
maybe the lowjack, but a raise
Brian Kim three bets on the button.

330
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,400
Luis Vasquez puts in the cold four
bet out of the big blind, folds

331
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,160
the back over to Hernandez. He
gets out of the way. Brian Kim

332
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,480
moves all in for around twenty million
or so, maybe maybe a little bit

333
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:37,720
less, maybe nineteen and change.
I forget exactly. This was the last

334
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:44,160
hand before break and Vasquez goes into
the tank forever like just tank tank tank,

335
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,480
tank tank, you know. He
asked the dealer to like pull on

336
00:24:47,559 --> 00:24:49,559
the four bet amount. He asked
for an exact count and the extra chips.

337
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:53,000
He's got the he's got the amount, like kind of pulled to the

338
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:56,319
side. He's going back and forth. He's trying to study Brian Kim.

339
00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:00,839
It's a whole thing. It's going
on for or you know, several minutes.

340
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,440
Eventually he makes the call with two
queens. He's up against the ast

341
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:11,279
king for Brian Kim. King hits
the flop and a forty million chip pot

342
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,559
is sent over to Brian Kim,
who two years ago took twenty third in

343
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:21,480
this very event, Luis Vasquez was
left with I think two maybe three big

344
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:27,920
blinds busted to I believe it was
Mora the Brazilian not too long after,

345
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:36,359
so Luis Vasquez taking three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for his twenty second place

346
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:42,359
finish. After Vasquez went out,
you had Kayasuki Nagami out of Japan finishing

347
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:48,519
in twenty first. You had Yaqui
Wu finishing in twentieth place, and then

348
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:55,160
you had Charles Russell busting in nineteenth. And Russell was the final player to

349
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,119
go on the day before the final
eighteen bagged and tagged. But we do

350
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:07,079
have to rewind a little bit because
after dinner it was the Kristen Foxton Show.

351
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,839
I mean it was just NonStop.
So she came into the day with

352
00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:19,119
I think fourteen million chips. Yeah, I think that's it about and she

353
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,200
immediately like started losing, like things
just weren't going her way. She was

354
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,720
losing pots, you know, every
time she kind of tried to enter her

355
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,559
pot just wasn't going her way.
Next thing, you know, she's just

356
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:33,720
below seven and a half million.
Day goes on, she kind of chips

357
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:36,200
back up, but then she gets
chipped. She chips back down, like

358
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,839
you know, she could never really
like truly find the momentum. And then

359
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,400
you have the fact that there's obviously
the whole a woman making the final table

360
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,279
and that hasn't happened in so long, and are we finally gonna get it?

361
00:26:48,319 --> 00:26:51,200
And we got two chances, and
it looks like things are going well

362
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,599
because they got chips. Shundan Jiao. She came into the day second in

363
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,680
chips, behind Kevin Davis. Obviously, Kevin Davis goes out very early on

364
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,480
the day. Shi Ou lasts a
bit longer, but she's ultimately out the

365
00:27:03,519 --> 00:27:06,559
door. So now, if you're
out there rooting for a woman to make

366
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,359
a final table, it's down to
Chris and Foxing. Now, listen,

367
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:11,000
that's a good person for it to
be down to, because she can carry

368
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,920
the load. She's pretty damn good
at poker, right, But poker can

369
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,079
be crazy, Variants can bite you
in the ass, and things weren't just

370
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,480
weren't going her way. Go to
dinner, come back, she gets a

371
00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:26,400
double up, She gets it all
in with East five versus Queen's we got

372
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,519
to wait till a river, Barry
Greenstein, Let's go ace on the river.

373
00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:41,799
Three outs, and missus Fox sinner. It is the age. Oh

374
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,599
my god, it is the A's
going Chrissy, sit, sit right back

375
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,960
down that then stack that six point
three, oh bye, and then she's

376
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:56,440
just boom boom boom like woo.
In every pot that she played, she

377
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,680
pulled a great bluff with two nines, getting jacks to fold on board that

378
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,119
had a four flush, even though
neither player had the spade that would have

379
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:08,359
made the flush. I mean,
she was just cruising. She ultimately finishes

380
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:14,640
the day on more than forty seven
million. I think she's fifth in chips.

381
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:18,640
It's the Kristen Foxen Show, and
we're all just here. I think

382
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,200
everyone's here for it. I mean, how can you not be here for

383
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,079
the Kristen Foxon Show. Actually,
before I get to the interview, because

384
00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:26,200
we have an interview with Kristen Foxen, but Alex was on the rail Alex

385
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,559
Fox and her husband for quite a
bit of time. So I think she

386
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,240
said on stream earlier in the day
that you know, he was playing like

387
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:36,400
whatever he was playing. Maybe the
three K, maybe the ten K,

388
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,000
six max whatever it might have been, maybe even the fifty K. I

389
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,640
don't know who he was playing.
I doubt he was playing the tripletop.

390
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,119
I mean on a normal day maybe, but you know, when you know

391
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,599
Kristen's going deep, he's probably like, yeah, I'll skip that one.

392
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:53,200
But he ended up popping up on
the rail, so he either bagged in

393
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:57,000
something or he probably busted out.
I think it was the latter, unfortunately,

394
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:00,799
but fortunately for the fox and family, Kristen is still in the main

395
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:04,720
event and he was on the rail, and it was It was interesting because

396
00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:07,359
you know, she was all in
a couple times. She got all in

397
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,480
with the ace five versus the queens. She got all in with kings versus

398
00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:15,559
sevens. Both times she was the
player at risk being the shorter stack,

399
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,400
and like she couldn't even watch,
like back turned to the table, just

400
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,519
like basically staring at Alex saying like, hey, tell me what's happening.

401
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:27,119
You know, she did double up
both times. Obviously, there's a lot

402
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,799
of people in the poker world rooting
for her because of what it would mean.

403
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,319
First and foremost, Kristin Foxen is
a crusher and absolutely deserves to make

404
00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:37,640
this final table. You know,
she's put in the time, she's put

405
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,119
in the effort, she has the
experience, she has the resume, all

406
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:44,880
of that sort of stuff, and
then on top of that, there's the

407
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,039
whole woman back at a final table
storyline that is that is very very much

408
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,279
like I wouldn't even say it's lurking. It's here. I mean, she's

409
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,680
in the final eighteen, she's got
a good stack. It's here, right,

410
00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:00,039
So there's all that that's happening.
And yeah, afterwards after play,

411
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:04,519
after she bagged up the forty seven
point four million, fifth largest stack of

412
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:08,839
the final eighteen players, I spoke
with Kristin fox and so here's that interview

413
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,000
for you. Now, all right, Kristin Foxen, pretty crazy surge at

414
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:18,240
the end of the nights. So
you've played a lot of poker over the

415
00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:22,359
years, right when you're rushing like
that, Like, what's it feel like?

416
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:30,559
I mean, it was just crazy. The The key thing for me

417
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,359
today was just like stay super calm
as much as I can and just like,

418
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:40,359
you know, figure out each spot
I have. Honestly, like the

419
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,559
most the toughest parts of the day
were like the ace King fold versus the

420
00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:48,200
Ace queen and then seeing that this
guy three met me with Jack six suited

421
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,680
when I opened ACE nine like in
a spot that's kind of ridiculous and like

422
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:56,319
never should really happen. And then
it was at hand and that was,

423
00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:00,039
yeah, super frustrating, and obviously
they get down to like five big lines

424
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:04,720
sucks. And then yeah, it
just felt incredible to like get some momentum.

425
00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:11,000
And after I won the five suited
all in was what was that?

426
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:17,039
Like, I mean, yeah,
last cart honestly, like it's just so

427
00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:21,119
surreal, Like it's all starting to
feel very surreal and dream like and like

428
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,880
I'm just trying to stay super locked
into like the poker moment, and I

429
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,200
think it's like this is just such
a fun spot because you can really see

430
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,440
everybody's emotions heightening, even like you
know, some of the pros who probably

431
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,440
are like pretty calm, but especially
like the not as experienced players like you

432
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,279
can it's just a fun spot.
I love playing with all the pressure.

433
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:48,759
When you had the nines and yeah, Igora ended up folding, you kind

434
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:52,440
of let out like a big sigh. I mean, are you are you

435
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,799
not worried about like showing emotion like
I mean it looked like in a way

436
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:59,279
like it's got a bluffer. Yeah, I mean, he's gonna see it

437
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:04,680
anyway. And I think it was
just kind of like the excitement of getting

438
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,119
a stack back. It was just
you know, because I was like,

439
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:08,799
man, if I get chips back, like, I feel so good in

440
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:13,480
this tournament. So it just felt
really yeah, I was, you know,

441
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:17,359
and it's the main event. Everyone's
showing emotions, and I think,

442
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,119
like, let's just embrace that.
I don't think it's an issue. And

443
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,880
then last question here, how do
you not get scared of the moment.

444
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,920
It's obviously massive, the money's now
extremely meaningful. You how do you just

445
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,559
stay grounded through it all? Honestly, I'm just reminding myself, like the

446
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,400
thing to focus on is like how
many big blinds do I have? What

447
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,039
do I do in this spot in
any other tournament? Because that's all this

448
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,920
is at the end of the day, is another tournament. So that's kind

449
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,400
of like just going back to like
fundamentals of like, Okay, I've played

450
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,720
this spot a million times? What
do I do here? All? Right?

451
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:52,200
That was Kristen Fox, And while
I was doing that, I got

452
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:57,039
tim over here went out and talked
to the husband. I did, how'd

453
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:00,480
that go? It was good?
I uh, I like a pretty calm

454
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:06,519
man, very chilled, very was
ave. And you'll probably hear in his

455
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,160
responses in the interview, but you
could just physically see I felt like he

456
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:15,400
was like nervous or jittery, like
there was a little bit more maybe,

457
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:20,720
and so the heart ray was up
more than normal and very obviously understandable why

458
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:23,720
he'd be feeling like that with,
you know, his wife, Chrissy in

459
00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:29,480
a pretty great position heading into day
eight of the main event. Standing here

460
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:35,160
with Alex Fox and his wife just
made the final eighteen of the WSP Main

461
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,799
Event. I want to know,
from your perspective, what's it like being

462
00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:40,079
on the rail watching her, supporting
her, not just any tournament, like

463
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,599
probably the biggest tournament in the world. Yeah, it's it's a fucking awesome

464
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,160
experience. Honestly, part of my
language, but it's it's it's so much

465
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,160
fun. It's weird to be on
this side, honestly, Like railing is

466
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:59,200
a strange experience when I'm so like
emotionally invested because it's not just the money.

467
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,240
It's like I wanted it well and
I want to see her wins,

468
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:04,319
so like there's more than just that
to it, whereas normally, like sweating

469
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:07,240
anything is just that. And like
when I'm playing for myself, you know,

470
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:09,480
like when I'm out there, it's
just like nothing's in my mind other

471
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:13,159
than the hands and then you know, but like I'm on the rail and

472
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,679
just like you know, trying to
figure out what she has, if she's

473
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,280
strong or it's just it's a very
different emotional experience. It's you feel,

474
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,039
like, do you feel like you're
more nervous being on the rail than if

475
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:25,079
you actually in how city right now? Definitely? I Mean I I don't

476
00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:29,039
really feel much when I'm playing,
but like I've you know, have like

477
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:31,679
a pit in my stomach every time
she opens a pot, like not a

478
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:35,679
way of like obviously I trust there's
hall of her decisions, but it's just,

479
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,800
you know, it's so much more
nerve wracking on the rail being a

480
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,039
hook a pal couple. Maybe,
as you might call it, tonight,

481
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:45,119
you're gonna go home obviously it's pretty
late already, two I am. Yeah,

482
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:46,599
what do you guys do to prepare
for the next day? We breaking

483
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:49,199
down some hands? Are we just
trying to get a sleep and we do

484
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,679
it in the morning. Yeah,
I mean, there's probably not time for

485
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:54,119
anything in the morning, so I'll
probably watch the like she might, you

486
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:57,199
know, have a bath, get
ready for bed, and I'll watch the

487
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,960
stream and relay anything worthwhile. That's
kind of we've been doing the last couple

488
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,679
of nights where I've watched most of
the stream while she's playing, and then

489
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,920
kind of like note hands and things
that I see, and then we talk

490
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,840
about it a little bit before bed
and in the morning and yeah, so

491
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,840
there, so we might go back
and watch a little bit. It kind

492
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,840
of depends on how easily how easily
she thinks she'll be able to fall asleep,

493
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,679
you know, like she can't sleep, that's a pretty good opportunity to

494
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:20,559
watch a little bit and talk about
it. But yeah, no, I

495
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:23,760
mean she's just super well prepared for
this from you know, playing everything,

496
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:29,960
and just yeah, I got to
keep the A lot of the focus is

497
00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:34,599
just just keep the the energy like
positive and calm and focus on making the

498
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:37,079
right decisions and treat it kind of
just like any other tournament as much as

499
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:43,360
you can. It's interesting because I
mean, I know, you you know,

500
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,159
knowing your family, myself as well, like, you know, our

501
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:51,159
significant others aren't in the same industry, so you you know, you wouldn't

502
00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:52,440
have this sort of thing. I
guess you can root them on in whatever

503
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:58,360
industry they're in, right, But
it's it obviously must feel like a closer

504
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,079
attachment, you know, when you're
also in that industry and you know you're

505
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:05,480
so you're not only are in it, you're you're so deep in it,

506
00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:07,800
like both the Foxes are, right, so it must just be crazy.

507
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,480
And then I'm also sure it's you
know, it's like when you watch your

508
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:15,239
kids or whatever, when you you're
almost more nervous for them. Yeah,

509
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,199
in a lot of ways, right, I'm sure Alex is like in a

510
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:22,880
way he obviously he's he's rooting for
her of course, and supportive and he

511
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,719
wants her to crush and everything,
but like he almost wants to be like

512
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,760
I wish I could take her seat. Not not because I don't mean that,

513
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,840
because like he wishes he could take
her seat, And I'm probably putting

514
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,800
words in his mouth, so I'm
probably just being an idiot, But you

515
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,920
almost wish that you could just like, okay, not take the seat.

516
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,800
But how about this take the pressure
off of them. That's what you wish,

517
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,760
right, you don't. You don't
want them to stress out. You

518
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,079
want you to stress out, like
you want to take all the tough stuff

519
00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:50,920
off of that person and let them
just be free in the moment. So

520
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,639
that that's probably there's probably some of
that there as well. And that's where

521
00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:57,719
like that kind of you know,
that nervousness that I think you can kind

522
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,760
of get from what Alex was saying, and that you know, end of

523
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,400
the day, that's great. That's
love and that's what it's about. And

524
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,480
it's pretty crazy that you know,
it could happen to a lot of poker

525
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:14,280
couples. There are poker couples out
there, But are there any poker couples

526
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:19,480
bigger than the Fox's. I mean, I would say probably the Gaphons bigger

527
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:22,679
in well why like more known.
No, I don't think the Gaphons,

528
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,159
Like it could happen to just like
you know, to a husband and a

529
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,480
wife, but it's not. It's
not the it's and they're both poker players,

530
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:34,239
but this is the Fox. The
only couple I would say would be

531
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,519
the Negranus and man is not a
poker players. But that's what I mean.

532
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:42,199
Like not like I'm talking poker player
wise. I mean the closest one

533
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:45,920
I think is probably phil and fair
Galfon because she plays a bit right,

534
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:51,719
so that that could be something.
So you know, this is Poker's aless

535
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:58,079
couple and it's front center. I
mean, it's it's the headlining story as

536
00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:00,920
far as I'm concerned. You know, obviously Christen's run is incredible, so

537
00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:02,880
you know, let's see if she
can make it. Let's see if she

538
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:15,760
can close it out. The minimum
is so interesting because you come so far.

539
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,679
You know, ten and twelve players
started this thing. We're down to

540
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,800
eighteen. We still have so much
to go to get to a champion.

541
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:29,440
Like if you just if you think
about it in hours that it's gonna take.

542
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:30,760
I mean, what do you think, how long is it gonna take

543
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:37,039
from here to get to a winter? How many hours of play? Tomorrow's

544
00:38:37,039 --> 00:38:40,519
gonna be white six eighteen hours,
like six hours a day, because we

545
00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:45,960
have three days left. I think
tomorrow could be no, yeah, six

546
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,039
hours tomorrow is gonna be I mean
on average, because like if tomorrow is

547
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:51,960
short, okay, well with the
final tables, we know those cools forever

548
00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:54,559
sixt sixty six basically will go off. Yeah, so we still have eighteen

549
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:59,800
hours of play three days. I
mean it's like it's a lot can happen

550
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:04,760
in that in that time. You
know, things can come crumbling down if

551
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,880
you're short stacked and you're kind of
limping through today eight like things can just

552
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,559
spin up the other way. You've
got Boris Angelov and Jordan griff both on

553
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:16,880
eight point three million in chips coming
back to I believe they're still going to

554
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:22,079
be playing four hundred thousand and eight
hundred thousand, so just over ten big

555
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:24,159
linds for each of them. But
you can spin it up. We saw

556
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,920
Kristen foxon Spin it Up today,
right, you know it can happen.

557
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,280
So yeah, why don't you go
over the leaderboard? Who do we got?

558
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:36,840
You mean the chip counts? Oh
yeah, the leaderboard? Who's who's

559
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,920
leading the way? Maloy? How
do we say letting out? Let her

560
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,000
know us Latino wall. That's how
I would say it, Although it's has

561
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:45,840
to be that commeddation from Texas.
I don't believe he is a chip lay

562
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:51,400
at a sixty one point three million
Diogo Coela from Portugal fifty one point five

563
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:57,920
Canada's adjacent Sego fifty one point four. Nicholas hous to that Sego quickly is

564
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,800
the one who finished into the and
four in twenty third place for one hundred

565
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,559
and twenty thousand dollars, so another
deep run for him. Nicholas fifty million.

566
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:12,159
Even you mentioned Chrissy forty seven point
four, that is the top five,

567
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,599
Joe Sirok forty six point three,
Malcolm Frenzi forty five, nine Canadian

568
00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:21,119
Jason James forty five point eight,
Brian Kim forty two point four. Now

569
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:23,840
here is a big drop off.
That's basically the top nine players the bottom

570
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,880
nine players. We start with twenty
seven zero point six million, so it's

571
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:34,199
basically fifteen million less than Brian Kim
in ninth place. But Jesse Bryant,

572
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,039
Gabriel Mura, Gleamo Sanchez, Otero, Jaego, Moroles, Jonathan Tomayo,

573
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:45,000
the've all got those mid twenties.
Jonathan he drops down at eighteen point four,

574
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:50,480
Andres Gonzalez fourteen point nine, Geraldo
Hernandez thirteen point four, and then

575
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:53,119
Jordan Griff Baris Angelo. They round
out the foun table eight point three million

576
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:59,920
each. That is the final eighteen
w it really is interesting to see that

577
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:06,719
gap. You know, we have
Brian Kim is that ninth place person forty

578
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,719
two point four million, and then
the tenth place person is twenty seven point

579
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:14,159
six So that's like the clear divide. And then of course you have the

580
00:41:14,159 --> 00:41:17,239
two shorter stacks, which given the
fact that we're going to be on a

581
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:22,760
one hundred thousand dollars pay jump to
start the day, eighteenth place three hundred

582
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:28,880
and fifty thousand dollars, seventeenth place
four hundred and fifty thousand, four hundred

583
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:35,280
dollars, so could create some interesting
ICM dynamics there. And then of course,

584
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,639
you know throughout the day, you
know, we're starting to get into

585
00:41:37,639 --> 00:41:42,199
the point where the payout or sorry, the pay jumps become more often.

586
00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:46,079
So three point fifty right now,
three hundred ten thousand is what the players

587
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:52,039
are guaranteed with eighteen left, sevent
fourteenth through seventeenth place four hundred and fifty

588
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:55,480
thousand, four hundred dollars, then
twelfth and thirteenth six hundred k, tenth

589
00:41:55,519 --> 00:42:00,719
and eleventh eight hundred k, and
then of course ninth is one million dollars,

590
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,480
and of course ninth is not only
a million dollars. Yes, that's

591
00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:08,599
awesome, but it's also making the
ws AB Maine Event Final Table, getting

592
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:14,360
the day off, coming back front
and center, the biggest stage in poker,

593
00:42:14,519 --> 00:42:17,480
like all of that sort of stuff
coming together. So a bunch of

594
00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:22,719
pay jumps are going to be happening
tomorrow, Sunday, July fourteenth. The

595
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,840
eighteen players are going to play down
to nine. It doesn't matter how long

596
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,960
it takes them. It doesn't matter
if it takes twenty seven hours, doesn't

597
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,039
matter if it takes two hours.
We're getting to nine. They're going to

598
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:36,880
combine at ten, right they still
we still combined in at ten. I

599
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,079
don't like that, but we're going
to combine at ten. I like it.

600
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,639
I know you like it because you're
a knit and like ten handed poker.

601
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,280
No incorrect. I don't like it
for the main and it's like,

602
00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:50,039
don't make it, don't I don't
mask. Don't mask your knittiness with some

603
00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:52,800
other reason. But for the main
event, I like the ten handed.

604
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,599
For every other one I want I
don't want it. I want to Why

605
00:42:55,679 --> 00:42:58,880
do you like the ten handed because
you're in the history. I like the

606
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,280
history of the ten handed, the
history. What does the history matter.

607
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,239
I like it that way, But
what does the history matter? It might

608
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,280
have no idea how many players are
at the table in nineteen seventy three,

609
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:14,599
mister history, you literally have no
idea. It could have been twelve,

610
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,880
that'd been awesome. You have no
idea. I mean, you have no

611
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,039
idea what was happening. But the
history of the modern era, the era

612
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:27,119
that we have been around for.
I like ten in the modern era,

613
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:30,880
where no one plays ten handed poker, it's the silliest thing in the world.

614
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,280
Should not be playing ten. We
should be five and five and that's

615
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,119
how it should work. And both
the tables should be up in the middle

616
00:43:38,119 --> 00:43:42,440
of the main set. We should
figure that out. We should figure that

617
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,320
out. They should both be up
there. From the guy did he yesterday

618
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,880
said, I don't understand how quet
production works. Look, this is very

619
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,920
obviously you don't understand that production works. How are you gonna why the graphics?

620
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,519
If you want to spend the money, you will get it. The

621
00:43:54,519 --> 00:43:57,519
way to spend the money, you
will get it. To the tables is

622
00:43:57,559 --> 00:44:01,920
fine? Table a table like we
have? Nope, nope, nope.

623
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,519
So yeah, they're gonna get down
to ten hands. They're going to join

624
00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:08,920
at one table and they're gonna go
from there. Two hundred thousand dollars pay

625
00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:14,360
jump at that point. All right, so what are the top three storylines

626
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,679
for you, sir? Let's uh, let's throw out Kristen Foxing because she's

627
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,440
obviously the snap number one pick.
So let's let's find let's it's not that

628
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,519
we're gonna throw her out, We're
gonna pick. We're just gonna focus on

629
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:32,960
the two other. Okay, well, obviously number one is Kristen fox I'm

630
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:42,920
gonna go with Gabrielle Mora being the
villain. I knew you were gonna do

631
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,519
this. I mean, he is
the villain. I mean, I can

632
00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:49,519
give you the I'm just trying to
just trying to mix up a little bit.

633
00:44:49,639 --> 00:44:52,840
He is the villain, for sure. We need a villain. You

634
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:57,480
need a villain, You need a
villain. I mean, Chrissy is the

635
00:44:57,519 --> 00:45:04,400
hero, yes, you know,
yes, and then I think to a

636
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,440
different degree, yeah, but he
listen, he's just not the hero right

637
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:13,519
now? What's that Batman quote?
The hero we deserve, but the hero

638
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:15,480
we need? The faous Batman line. You know what I'm talking about.

639
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,719
Have you seen you? Please tell
me you've seen Batman, right, I've

640
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,679
seen pretty much all the Batman Okay, but yeah, but Gabriel Murrow with

641
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:30,000
his his constant tanking, you know, the kind of weird, kind of

642
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,320
pump faky type of things with his
chips. He talks to you like,

643
00:45:35,639 --> 00:45:38,199
which is you know that might rub
people the wrong way. He also does

644
00:45:38,199 --> 00:45:43,679
a lot of yelling and screaming.
You know when he wins bake hands huh

645
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,960
U must have portantly he's barefoot,
He's walking around barefoot. That's and other

646
00:45:49,039 --> 00:45:53,480
things. I just feel like the
reason why we're saying that he's a villain

647
00:45:53,519 --> 00:45:59,599
is because we feel like if if
he makes the final table, like the

648
00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:02,679
public is gonna view him as the
villain, that that's our view just with

649
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,920
the way that he acts like he
it was very interesting that he he's a

650
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:15,079
very methodical player, plays pretty slow
with everything. And then he complained that

651
00:46:15,159 --> 00:46:21,280
the all ins took long because production
does them a certain way for the dramatic

652
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,639
effect. I mean that just seemed
like very long. Does he take each

653
00:46:25,039 --> 00:46:30,159
on each street forever? So so
yeah, I just thought that that was

654
00:46:30,159 --> 00:46:35,000
interesting. But yeah, it's gonna
be it's listen if he makes it and

655
00:46:35,039 --> 00:46:37,559
he continues to play that he's playing, and listen, it's also not just

656
00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:40,480
him. There's some others that are
doing the same sort of thing. The

657
00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:45,199
number one topic on social media is
gonna be clocks. We need clocks in

658
00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:49,440
the Mallion event. We need clocks. That's gonna be the number one thing,

659
00:46:50,159 --> 00:46:53,239
right we do. Leena nine hundred. He's over there playing hands in

660
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:59,360
three seconds. Incredible stuff, you
know, because he's probably seen ten billion

661
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,719
hands of pokes and knows everything's happening. Sposed to play. He's out there

662
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,239
to play. So that's your story, the villains one of them. I

663
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:12,800
can give you seven stories. I
said top one Christmas Box, and you

664
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:19,360
come with Gabrielle Mora. I can't
decide anything that happens all day, or

665
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,920
do you just show up on the
podcast and like spitting at three thirteen am

666
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:27,559
to three thirteen yeah, ship,
speed it up, kid, Oh my

667
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:35,599
god. My other story is Jason
Segel and Brian Kim and their return.

668
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,440
That's the answer. I told you
top headlines. Okay. When I say

669
00:47:40,519 --> 00:47:45,679
top it doesn't mean go digging for
the things that no one cares about.

670
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,079
It means pick the top most popular
one. To me, it's chalky.

671
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,800
No, you're just trying to play
a bit. Okay, is what you

672
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,960
Your whole summer has been a bit. Your whole summer has been a bit

673
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,840
from the start. How the whole
thing, the thing with Sean deeb Dylan

674
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:05,960
Wiseman, like, it's the whole
summer's been a bit. Okay, summer

675
00:48:06,079 --> 00:48:08,480
bits, got it? No,
you're a bit. I'm a bit.

676
00:48:08,639 --> 00:48:14,519
Maybe you're a knit bit bit.
You are a nit bit, Tim the

677
00:48:14,639 --> 00:48:17,559
nitbit Duckworth. Yes, I think
I have to go. I mean this

678
00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:22,719
is like kind of a combination one
as well. But no, Actually,

679
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,199
Nicholas A. Stet Leana nine hundred, I mean that's the story. I

680
00:48:24,199 --> 00:48:30,519
mean, he's he's the goat.
He's the freaking MJ of tournament poker in

681
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:32,400
a lot of ways, even even
though you don't think he is. It's

682
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:37,639
Kristen Fox and is the leading story, the leading lady. I like the

683
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,320
Jason Sego and Brian Kim return also
Brian Kim. You know you can kind

684
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:46,119
of loop him in with the Nicholas
Ostet thing where he's just incredibly good at

685
00:48:46,119 --> 00:48:51,559
poker. Yeah, but then you
have Nicholas Ostet who's just the absolute crusher

686
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,679
that he is, and he's possibly
gonna break through on the biggest stage.

687
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:59,920
Another one, little honorable mention here
Joe sah Rock and Jonathan Tamile, long

688
00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:05,639
time professionals, longtime grinders, finally
getting their shot right. So there's that.

689
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,480
We also have a pretty international field, which I like to see.

690
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:13,800
You got Boris Angelov out of Bulgaria, You got Gerardo Hernandez out of Mexico,

691
00:49:14,119 --> 00:49:20,960
Andres Gonzalez is Spain. You got
Guillermo Otero is Li says uk.

692
00:49:21,159 --> 00:49:25,519
I hope that's right. Jason James
Canada, Jason Sego Canada, Christen Fox

693
00:49:25,519 --> 00:49:30,320
and is Canada. Know she lives
here now, Diego Coelo, Portugal.

694
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:37,639
So and then I think Malo Latinois
is French. But Malcolm Franchie that is

695
00:49:37,679 --> 00:49:42,719
French. Huh. Franchie is also
from France. Who's from Friends? Malcolm

696
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,159
Francie, Oh he is from Friends? Yeah, Sorry, sorry I skipped

697
00:49:45,159 --> 00:49:46,639
that one. So yeah, you
know, pretty international group here, so

698
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,360
you know, hopefully we kind of
get that international group at the final table.

699
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,840
Are we gonna draft? Yeah?
I mean we got to go number

700
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:07,559
one. I gotta pull up the
last one who cares, cares we're doing

701
00:50:07,559 --> 00:50:15,840
a new draft. Okay, I
need it right down. Go ahead,

702
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:20,039
you want me to go first.
I mean, uh, we're of the

703
00:50:20,039 --> 00:50:22,440
same number one. Well, actually
we probably make the same. We might

704
00:50:22,599 --> 00:50:25,079
have the same. You're gonna take
Gabrielle Mora. He's definitely getting drops it.

705
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:32,360
I'm opening with Chrissy and Nicholas.
Yeah you agree, Yes, I

706
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:37,360
have the same too. Okay,
I told you that I wanted a final

707
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,440
table of the killer. You want. You want the killers. I don't

708
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:44,320
want the killer. I still want
the killer completely different. I'm still gonna

709
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,159
keep Diego. He's staying on my
list. He's been on it now for

710
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:52,199
three days. This Jason Segal story
is kind of cool. I'm gonna I'm

711
00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:55,159
gonna promote him. He's kind of
my old guy too in a way.

712
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:00,400
So Jason the oldest one left.
We would have to check, but we

713
00:51:00,599 --> 00:51:05,599
have to check. Yeah, he
might be. I'm gonna bring in Brian

714
00:51:05,679 --> 00:51:09,079
Kim. He's gonna get the upgrade. He's gonna make my squad. Brian

715
00:51:09,159 --> 00:51:14,559
Kim and welcome to the team.
I gotta do it. I gotta do

716
00:51:14,599 --> 00:51:19,800
my boy, Laura. I mean
he's gonna be in mind too. Yeah.

717
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,320
Whatever, I mean because like we
said, you gotta have the villain,

718
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,320
and he's the villain. He's a
villain. And then for the rail

719
00:51:24,519 --> 00:51:29,760
we need we need Yeager, right, I mean, yeah, rails bananas,

720
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:30,679
he's there? How many is that? One? Two, three,

721
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:37,920
four, five, six seven?
Let's to rock like Spain? Is Spain

722
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:43,639
gonna be any good? Is Spain
gonna be they they gotta bring just dump

723
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:45,000
it on the whole country of Spain. Are they gonna bring them? Going

724
00:51:45,079 --> 00:51:47,480
to be any good? To the
rail? I want to know what's the

725
00:51:47,559 --> 00:51:52,760
rail passion? Probably not no,
because I feel like you would have seen

726
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:58,039
the passion already. Jason. You
know what, Jason James and he's interview

727
00:51:58,079 --> 00:52:01,440
with Jeff had a little bit of
villainous to So if we lose more,

728
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:07,119
maybe Jason James can take your spot. Didn't he win the tag team?

729
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:08,400
He did? I thought that was
going to actually be one of your stories.

730
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,679
You got that in there too,
and that is another thing. So

731
00:52:10,679 --> 00:52:15,719
he's gonna make it. And then
I go one more spot you can go

732
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:22,639
to you know what this is?
This is a pretty like behind inside Baseball

733
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,519
kind of thing. But let me
give it to Jonathan Tomato only because we

734
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:29,639
have a mutual friend that has a
little piece of him, and it'd be

735
00:52:29,639 --> 00:52:32,159
pretty cool, like kind of you
know, seeing how that plays out,

736
00:52:32,199 --> 00:52:37,079
so that I don't care about any
of that when I stuck him ninth.

737
00:52:37,199 --> 00:52:42,079
Ninth is just the weak spot.
Huh, I'm ready. Nicholas Kristen,

738
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:50,679
Gabrielle Moro, Oh yes, Brian
Kim Yegor, I think Boris Angelov six,

739
00:52:51,039 --> 00:53:00,519
Okay, shout stock but Joseph Rock
seven, Diogo Coelo malo in wall

740
00:53:00,519 --> 00:53:06,280
is that it great? Perfect?
I'm in there so yeah, WSP main

741
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,559
event. We are rocking and rolling
into day eight, the added day eight,

742
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:13,719
by the way, love it love
the added day. Did you factor

743
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,119
that in when you were like,
we're on pace, we're off past type

744
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:20,239
of thing. Oh, what's the
chop value? Oh? Yes, the

745
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,920
thing that matters eighteen white chopped value. Right. No, this has become

746
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,199
such a good thing that they put
it on the broadcast. Now they put

747
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,079
the Yeah, I mean it's two
million. I would never put it on

748
00:53:32,119 --> 00:53:36,480
the broadcast. By the way,
I'm not trying to promote chops to the

749
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,519
world. That's that we don't want
chops in poker. We want chops.

750
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:45,000
Huh. Well, Tonto chops,
it's like kissing your sister. What we're

751
00:53:45,079 --> 00:53:47,599
just not having chops, Like,
we're out here to play. We're playing

752
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:54,920
for blood blood two million eleven dollars. I think Jesus truck now, let's

753
00:53:54,960 --> 00:54:01,719
fucking do it. That's that then
that's insane. In sixth place, yeah,

754
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:07,599
that's insane. Yeah, ten million
dollars up top six place is two

755
00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:12,079
million dollars. So, as Tim
mentioned, the chop value right now is

756
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,719
better than six place money. Do
it mars Angelo has already It would be

757
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:22,039
very hard, Yes, bosuck on
the client WSFV clib Well, they're never

758
00:54:22,119 --> 00:54:24,320
just going to do a straight chop. You'd have to do like an ICM

759
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:30,440
chuck of course. Of course.
All right, cool. So that's the

760
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:35,199
