All 33 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:53.439 right, let's get into the news, Sir Asher Koniff. Yeah, a 34 00:02:53.639 --> 00:03:00.280 WPT champion, a w SOOP Circuit main event champion, now a World Series 35 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:08.520 of Poker gold bracelet crown, not the triple crown. Canniff won the five 36 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:15.319 thousand dollars Champions Reunion, his first gold bracelet. He topped the field of 37 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.439 four hundred and ninety three entries to take home four hundred and eight thousand dollars 38 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:25.400 in prize money. This was the first live streamed final table, first live 39 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:31.759 streamed event by poker go at the twenty twenty four WSOP kicks off our live 40 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.000 stream coverage. We are now going to be going every single day, but 41 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.520 one because the WSP manament has a day off. Yeah, I mean, 42 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.599 maybe we'll do something on that day. Maybe maybe we won't, but we'll 43 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.199 see. That's what fifteenth of July long way ago. Three hundred plus hours 44 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:53.240 of live stream broadcasts are going to be coming your way all summer. But 45 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.120 this was the first one on the way to the winner circle. Caniff made 46 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:05.599 two very very big important hero calls to get the job done. The first 47 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:13.400 one came against Uzau Yin, where I guess I'll just recap the action quickly 48 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.439 because because I'm looking at it right now. Yin raised on the button to 49 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.399 four hundred thousand. Blinds were one thousand, two hundred thousand. Caniff defended 50 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.720 from the big blind. Caniff had King eight, Yin had King ten. 51 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:31.439 Flop came down Ace eight five rainbow. Canniff check called a bet of two 52 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:36.079 hundred thousand, so minimum bet there what quarter pot a little less than quarter 53 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.240 pot? Three on the turn brought a second diamond. Caniff checked. Yin 54 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.240 went for another bet to three hundred and fifty thousand, this time keeping it 55 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.319 small. Kniff made the call Ace of diamonds comes on the river, so 56 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:55.040 pairs the board with an ace again. It's Ace eight five three ace, 57 00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.360 and it brought in backdoor diamonds. Caniff checks he's got one point two million 58 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:06.920 behind when he checked. Yin puts them all in Coniff tanks for quite a 59 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:15.000 long time. Eventually finds the call with two pair. Yin is bluffing, 60 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.360 of course, with the King ten. The King high and that was a 61 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.399 big, big double up, a very important double up for Asher Canniff. 62 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:29.680 And then during heads up play, Caniff was up against Khalil Tests Eurak and 63 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.480 he made a big call on the ten to five deuce two spades. On 64 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:41.040 that flop ten five deuce six three, Canniff checks the river tests Yourek bets 65 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.759 one point eight million. Caniff tanks for several minutes, eventually makes the call 66 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:53.759 with just Ace high Ace jack high Test each showed eight seven of spades, 67 00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:00.279 so missed draws for the Turk and Canniff took the chip lead in the heads 68 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:05.120 up match. Canniff started the heads up match at a pretty pretty big chip 69 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:11.079 disadvantage. Test Eurich had twenty point nine million, Caniff had three point seventy 70 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.319 five million. They battled it out. Eventually Kindiff took the chip lead. 71 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.759 Eventually he finished it off if the final hand were or sorry was his tens 72 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:26.720 holding up against Testsirix jack nine of diamonds and that got the job done for 73 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.079 Asher Canniff. After it was all said and done, big rail for Asher, 74 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.839 by the way, a lot of people on his rail, twenty maybe 75 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.639 thirty people were on his rail. Tim got in there and talked with Asher, 76 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.079 so let's play that interview for you right now. Asher, congratulations, 77 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.720 first WSFP bracelet, I want to talk to you about a few big scores 78 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.600 you've had in your career. Let's start with a WPT Bold Championship nine to 79 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:54.399 seventy three k WSB circuit win here at Bally's when it was called. And 80 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.160 then of course the tenth place finish in the main event. And now we 81 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.639 have this bracelet of those full, you know, fairly iconic results of yours. 82 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.040 Does it stand out the most? Now, I'd say the main event 83 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.560 in a sense probably stands out the most, just because that was like, 84 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.800 that felt like a dream the whole way through this was this was awesome, 85 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.680 but it felt like a like a regular tournament. But obviously getting the race 86 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.160 that is just so awesome. And yeah, I'm so thankful. Twenty twenty 87 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.399 two main event, you did finish tenth place, six hundred and seventy five 88 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.360 k I believe it was. You know, it's it's been a little while 89 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.680 now, but can you remember that the emotion that you were feeling when you 90 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.600 were eliminated them? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's no 91 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:35.199 as emotional as you know a game could make me very intense. It was. 92 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.040 It's a beautiful experience, but yeah, it was. It was tough 93 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.879 at the end, but I appreciated the ride. Yeah, it was exciting 94 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.519 though I loved it that year. You had two cashes, last year, 95 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.839 seven cashes at the WSB this year first event. Gotta win. What does 96 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:56.120 this mean for your series going forward? I mean, just the fact that 97 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.879 I get to have a winning summer by a lot, no matter what, 98 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.439 is awesome. Obviously it feels really good. Yeah, it gets just kind 99 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.120 of chill. I mean, I'm still gonna play a lot, but just 100 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.920 not have to worry about how my summer is gonna go. And I'm very 101 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.360 appreciative of the fact that, you know, most people are gonna have losing 102 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.079 summers and I'm not one. I don't take that for granted. And I 103 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:13.959 know there's a ton of luck involved, and I'm just happy about it. 104 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.519 You say you're gonna be pretty chilled going forward, But does a win like 105 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.040 this kind of drive you to want to, you know, work a bit, 106 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.040 how to play a bit more? Maybe hey here, why do something 107 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.959 like that? Totally I'm more I mean, not even the validation of self, 108 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.160 right, to like prove, you know, because we're constantly trying to 109 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.799 prove that we can get it done and we still know how to play almost. 110 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.679 But yeah, it definitely is gonna push me to want to keep playing 111 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.840 and get more results and see where I can go with it for sure. 112 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.960 Final question for me. We had a pretty big rail for you guys. 113 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.159 Yeah, a bunch of well known high stakes poker places. What is it? 114 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:46.759 How does that feel? Winning in front of your friends and you know, 115 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.360 it's super cool? Man, It's yeah, it's exciting having them all 116 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.679 here. They were all just screaming ridiculous shit the whole time. I'm playing, 117 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.320 trying my best to stay focused. But I loved it. And another 118 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.240 thing I take for granted, having all the sport and all the friends here 119 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.919 and yeah, talking to awesome. It kind of feels good to see someone 120 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:13.440 who had I guess what would what I would best classify it as heartbreak. 121 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.480 Tenth place in the WSP main events, you know when his pocket tens. 122 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.840 Interesting that he won this tournament with pockets, by the way, because he 123 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.679 had pocket tens up against I believe it was Mickey Dueck if I remember correctly, 124 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.559 who had Ace King and the flop, just king, King, King, 125 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.080 Yes, you're just dead. See you later, Like what are you 126 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.759 gonna do? So very interesting that Asher Koniff ends up winning this tournament with 127 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:46.039 pocket tens after he went out in tenth place with pocket tens to very interesting 128 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.879 that he said that, you know, he's the you know, big victories 129 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.000 that you mentioned, you know, World Championship, second Maine, w p 130 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.360 T World Championship, w T World championshiry uh this Bras and then the tenth 131 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.919 place that you know, that tenth place still you know, staying there. 132 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.559 He got a million bucks, right, six seventy five. Six, that's 133 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.039 it. I thought you got a million. That's it. I'll take six 134 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.279 to seventy five right now. But I don't know why I thought he got 135 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.240 a million for it six seventy five. I mean it's good, of course, 136 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.240 but I was just under the impression he got a million. I don't 137 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.840 know why. But anyway, continue on that. Yeah, the main event, 138 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.360 heartbreak, as some may say, stands out as being a bit more 139 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.639 memorable to him over these big victories that he's you know, had in his 140 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.519 career. Yeah, I mean I can only imagine you get to that point 141 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.000 going through such a large field in such a grueling event, over so many 142 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.120 days, it just has to take so much out of you. But then 143 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.120 ultimately, you know, you're just you're on this adrenaline high the entire time, 144 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.240 for essentially two weeks straight. You get to this point where the final 145 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.840 table is within reach, and then it just all comes crumbling down. So 146 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.159 you know, that's where I sort of describe it as heartbreak. I mean, 147 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.240 poker players dream every single day of their lives of making the main event, 148 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.679 final table, you know, winning that event. I mean, in 149 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.720 order to win it, you have to get to the final table. Of 150 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.120 course, that's that's a winning in and of itself in a lot of ways. 151 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.840 And Asher Koniff was so close. Made up for it here, you 152 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.440 know, maybe not the twelve million that he could have won in that event 153 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.440 or whatever it was. Was it twelve, no? Ten? Ten million? 154 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.200 That was espens here, Yeah, four hundred and eight thousand dollars. 155 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.840 He got the bracelets. It's very early in the summer too. This is 156 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.080 you know, this is event number one on the schedule. We're only a 157 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.720 couple of days in, so there are still plenty of poker left to be 158 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.399 played, and we'll see if Asher can make any more noise. Speaking of 159 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:45.399 noise, a player who is certainly not one to hold back when it comes 160 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.279 to talking. You can often hear him chatting and laughing from across the room. 161 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.120 But he's also making noise on the felt that is Daniel on the ground, 162 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.080 that is kid poker. He's two for two, where he was two 163 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.039 for two until he went and injured the fifteen hundred dollars dealer's choice, and 164 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.480 then he busted out of that one, so he's two for three. Still, 165 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.360 that's pretty damn good when it comes to poker tournaments. In the event 166 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.799 that Asher won, Neigranny finished in forty ninth place for ninety one dollars, 167 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.120 and then he hopped into the five hundred dollars kickoff tournament that drew three thousand, 168 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.960 four hundred and eighty five entries. Negron, you busted in sixteenth place 169 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.799 for eighty five hundred dollars. You know, not the biggest score dollar wise, 170 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.720 especially for Daniel, but seventeen times the buy in, which is pretty 171 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.600 damn good. You know, sixteenth place out of a massive field of nearly 172 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.120 thirty five hundred runners got us the field bonus. In twenty five K Fantasy, 173 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.360 Lets go Daniel, so that allows us to you know, move up 174 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.639 the leader boarder. But I think we're sitting in third place right now in 175 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.759 twenty five K Fantasy, so feeling good early on, he did have to 176 00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.320 skip the twenty five K heads up. He called Tim and I in Saye 177 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.240 Knuckleheads that we even thought that he would entertain multi tabling, but he was. 178 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.480 He was highly focused in the five hundred dollars kickoff and made a really 179 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.159 good run at it, you know, ultimately falling short of a seventh w 180 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.360 SP Goald bracelet. But still very early, as I mentioned when I was 181 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.559 talking about Asher kind of you know, it's still very early here in the 182 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.320 twenty twenty four World Series of Poker, and I think Daniel's going to do 183 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.120 it. I think he's getting number seven at some point. I think he's 184 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.480 getting seven and eight. And I mean he's doing it, man, Like 185 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.399 listen, he's feeling good, he's playing well, he's running well in spots 186 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.120 when he needs, he's going deep. So he's basically knocking at the door. 187 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.279 So I'm looking at Daniel Legrando and I'm going to say, yeah, 188 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.600 he's going to get the job. Done at some point this summer. I 189 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.200 don't really know what event it's going to be, but you know, he's 190 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.440 getting there and being two out of three, you know, so far, 191 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.519 so good. I would imagine taking the night off tonight, going to come 192 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.600 back to for the five thousand dollars PLO the start of that one limit. 193 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.919 Yeah, No, I think he's I think he's kind of just avoiding those 194 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.360 terms. I mean, what he's told you, he's gonna avoid the fifteen 195 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.200 better. Yeah, and he did. I mean, he did fire into 196 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.320 the Dealer's Choice, but he was here. It's got some big bets in 197 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.080 there, I know, and he loves dealers Choice, he has talked about 198 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.799 it plenty of times. But but I would imagine he skips there, or 199 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.240 I mean, at least for the time being, as long as he's in 200 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.480 the PLO, I think. I don't. I don't get the sense that 201 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:39.960 Daniel is known as a PLO player, but I think he's extremely good at 202 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.639 it, you know, for whatever reason. I think a lot of people 203 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.480 look at Daniel and they obviously know his success playing hold them, and then 204 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.600 I think they think of him as kind of like a mixed game guy, 205 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.799 and they don't think of him as a PLO guy. So I mean, 206 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.159 for me, every time I see him play pot lim in Omaha, I've 207 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.159 seen him have a lot of success at it. I'm not a PLO expert, 208 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.240 but it seems to me like he very much understands like what to do 209 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.120 and how to play that game, especially in the tournament format. You know, 210 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.159 we've seen a lot. We've seen a lot of him play PLO at 211 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.240 the World Series of Poker and then also at the PGT PLO series. So 212 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.639 you know, don't don't sleep on Daniel mcgroney with with how well he's coming 213 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.320 out of the gate. Here at the twenty twenty four World Series of Poker 214 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.440 in that five thousand dollars pot limit Omaha event, just quickly on the five 215 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.519 hundred dollars kickoff that Negron you ended up busting in sixteenth place. They are 216 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.840 down to the final eight. They have stopped play for the day. They 217 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.519 will be coming back tomorrow one pm start time is it? And then in 218 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.879 the one pm streams dots at three pm PO Yes, we are streaming this 219 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.720 one Poker gro and the Poker Goro YouTube channel. Sean Smith is up on 220 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.000 top of the leaderboard with sixteen point one five million, thirty two big blinds. 221 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:03.039 Biggest name remaining at the finals. I would say Michael Wang. Michael 222 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.279 Wang a bracelet winner. I have to correct you. Then Daniel Willis is 223 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.799 the chip let twenty three seven million. Oh sorry, Daniel Willis is the 224 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.440 chip leat I was gonna say the sixty million that I was reading. It's 225 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.039 because I thought this was in chip order, and it's in seed order on 226 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.919 the updates, so that's my fault. Yes, Daniel Willis from the UK 227 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.360 twenty three point seven two five million, forty seven big lines. And then 228 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:30.159 Sean Smith is in second place, Michael Wang bracelet winner twelve point six two 229 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.360 five million, he's doing it twenty five big lines for him. So these 230 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.600 players are all guaranteed just over twenty two thousand dollars in prize money they will 231 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:44.320 be playing for. Of course they coveted gold bracelet, and then there is 232 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.360 one hundred and seventy five thousand, five hundred dollars that comes along with its. 233 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.480 Again, as we said, three pm tomorrow, Vegas time for the 234 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:57.799 live stream two hour delay, extended delay so that we can chop out those 235 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:04.839 breaks as we go and just can keep this stream continuous throughout the one thousand 236 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:11.319 dollars Mystery Millions kicked off, as did the twenty five thousand dollars Heads up 237 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:18.599 here at the twenty twenty four WASB Mystery Millions. Looks like it's gonna get 238 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.799 more than last year, at least judging by what happened here on Day one 239 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.960 A. So last year, day one A of the Mystery Millions drew twenty 240 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.920 and twenty three entries. This year it's up two hundred and twenty three with 241 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.119 two and forty six entries, So that's a very good sign. Tim and 242 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.480 I walked through that field not too long ago. Who do we see over 243 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.799 there? So Andrew Marino for sure saw who is the chip leader? Wing 244 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.119 Po Lou. Suppose one of one of Team Lady Gagay's people has the chip 245 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.559 leader. So Danny Seppiel. Danny Seppiel was over there, you know, 246 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:59.680 WPT World Championship winner. I can't even remember who else I saw. I 247 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.200 saw Alex Foxen over there. He's got a new haircut, by the way, 248 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.720 like she buzzes his head. Oh yeah, it was a hat, 249 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.720 so wouldn't I. Yeah, he buzzes his head. We'll be tracking that 250 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.640 one. Of course, as we go tomorrow would expect the field to grow 251 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.000 even larger. They did play down into the money and then they're continuing to 252 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:23.680 play through to a bag today. Day one b will be tomorrow. Can 253 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.559 only imagine they get what three thousand entries in that one, and then we'll 254 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.319 see how it matches up with last year. But looking like it's up, 255 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.240 you know, about ten percent or so a year over year, which if 256 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.279 that holds up, that'll be a nice boost to that field. Last year, 257 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.799 believe he got eighteen thousand was the number, so absolutely enormous field. 258 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:52.720 It does have starting flights tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, So I can only 259 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.640 imagine what Saturday and Sunday are gonna look like in here. It's gonna be 260 00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:00.000 a freaking madhouse. So yeah, looking forward to seeing how that one plays 261 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.200 out. Of course, you know we'll be talking about, you know, 262 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.319 who pulls the million dollar bounty, Maybe two of them if they do that 263 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.839 again, maybe three maybe that would be pretty how many how many answers that 264 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.319 they need to get? Three? Like twenty four thousand? Probably? Yeah, 265 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.559 I think so, I do kind of like you know what you were 266 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.920 saying, you know, just have one big prize and then have other bigger 267 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.480 ones, you know. Second. So yeah, so yeah, twenty five 268 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:30.680 k heads up that kicked off sixty four entries, which is the cap. 269 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.400 I believe, as mentioned Daniel Legrand, you did skip it. You know 270 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.279 who else skipped it? And you know what, I have not looked at 271 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.240 anyone but the current list. I couldn't tell you. Well, phil Ivey 272 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.319 wasn't in there. He's rushed up. I mean heaby Jason Kun's champion. 273 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.039 He should have played, right, did he? I Mean? The thing 274 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.279 is those two guys that you mentioned, Sean Winter who's on our team, 275 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:02.000 he didn't play did so those three players all went to Trenton Montenegro. So 276 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.920 I don't know if they're back or not. So they could still be like 277 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.400 they could have done the thing where like hey we'll stay a few extra days 278 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.279 kind of vacation. Yeah right, you know before the summer grind because Tridon 279 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.839 Montenegro was like, you know, two weeks of pretty intense poker. I 280 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.559 get it could have done that. They could also be back and the whole 281 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.200 like travel Jet Lake stuff. You know, they're just like, you know 282 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.519 what, I'm just gonna chill out, not a big deal and not kind 283 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:30.039 of jump into you know, the super intense heads up battle where you know, 284 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.960 heads of poker is different than anything else. You're focused on every single 285 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.279 hand. You can't just like you know, fold from middle position and chill 286 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.119 out for like three minutes. No, you're You're in every single hand on 287 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.519 every street. You are battling, especially at the twenty five k price point, 288 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:49.039 especially against the experts that you see in that field. But those sixty 289 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:56.240 four entries are down to sixteen. So tomorrow when they return, that first 290 00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.000 match for everyone will be the bubble match. I think it's eighty six thousand 291 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.559 dollars for getting into the money and then five hundred thousand dollars up top. 292 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:11.359 Let me run through the names who are still in it right now. Marco 293 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.359 Gruccic, Archer, March Rosian, Matthew Wantman, Owen Massiri, Patrick Kennedy, 294 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:22.079 Joseph Miller, James Gorum, Darius, Samuel Faraz, Jaka Kane Kallus 295 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:27.799 SAMs Overall, Weston, Mizumo, Tu, Michael Steele, Nikolai Mamout, 296 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.440 Carrie katz l Fa himself, and then I left this one last because of 297 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:40.720 course the one the only John freakin' Smith. I mean, come on, 298 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.440 this guy the best, This guy and the wzippy Heads Up Tournament is just 299 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.640 like the most impressive thing. Can you look up here? I'm right, 300 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.839 look alright, ready, here we go. It's just wild. Twenty seventeenth 301 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:57.000 runner up finished two hundred thousand dollars, twenty sixteenth second place, one hundred 302 00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.240 and ninety eight thousand dollars. It's enough. I don't even need to go 303 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:06.519 through anymore. But twenty fourteenth, eleventh place, twenty six thousand dollars, 304 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.720 Like, come on, eleven second second, He's the He's the best. 305 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.480 He is the best. Everyone loves John Smith. In the twenty five thousand 306 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:21.839 dollars Heads Up Championship. We'll see if he can finally get the job done. 307 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.960 It would be, you know, great, it would be that nice 308 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.240 little feather in the cap of all his success in this tournament to finally go 309 00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:32.720 on to win it. You know, we don't see much of John Smith 310 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.240 at all outside of this tournament, so it was actually I think he plays 311 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.240 a comas all the back a bit. He made one of those final tables 312 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.480 a few years ago, one of the lay WBT final tables. I believe. 313 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.119 I mean, I hope he wins the check out. I hope he 314 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.160 does well. It would be great casino employees event wrapped up. That was 315 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:59.400 actually the first bracelet one of this summer. It wrapped up second. What 316 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:04.960 do you mean WSPC TC that doesn't count? Why you said of the summer. 317 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.839 I don't even think it's four days ago. I don't think it's summer 318 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.039 yet. I first saw then you should have said someone you know what I 319 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:18.680 mean? Okay. Jose Garcia, a poker dealer, won the event for 320 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:25.240 just under eighty thousand dollars seventy nine thousand, one hundred and thirty four dollars. 321 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:32.000 Good on him was eleven hundred and I believe eighty nine entries in that 322 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:37.079 one. Garcia beat Richard roth Meyer, who took fifty two, seven hundred 323 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:42.599 dollars for second place. We talked about the dealer Ginger. I did look 324 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:47.880 on his Instagram, No mad chronicles. It did say Ginger on his name 325 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.680 tag. Christopher Keem. He busted an eighth place for eighty one and seventy 326 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:57.720 one dollars in that tournament. Good tournament. It's good to see the uptick 327 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:03.160 there. Looks like we're going to see in uptick overall a lease if things 328 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.160 continue on the trend that they are in the Mystery million, So you know, 329 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:11.440 good good sign overall, which is uh, which is good. Event 330 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.920 number four, the fifteen hundred dollars Omaha high Low. Tim and I talked 331 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:21.359 about that one actually declining in numbers. I believe it got over eleven hundred 332 00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:25.279 last year nine to twenty eight. This year, at the time of recording, 333 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.519 it's eleven forty five PM on Thursday, May thirtieth, twenty eight. 334 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.200 Remain, as a reminder, just about two hundred and nine thousand dollars up 335 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:41.000 top. At one point, I looked at the chip counts right before we 336 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.240 came on to record this podcast, and I saw James Chen and James Chen 337 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:52.359 co leaders, James ten Us, James ten Taiwan. So yeah, it 338 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.200 looks like James ten Us is still doing well. Alexi Philotov also doing well, 339 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.319 Jamie, James, Ashton Griffin's out there. No, no, so 340 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:08.039 many times. Actually, wait, I now that now that he's been sitting 341 00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.079 around this area. But now that I see that we walked by him in 342 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:18.240 the hallway, I know Ashton Griffin has a certain walk to him, and 343 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:21.079 when when walking by him, I was like, I recognized that walk, 344 00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:25.359 but I didn't recognize him, but he kind of looked at me like he 345 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.119 knew that I kind of recognized him. But yeah, anyway, so yeah, 346 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:37.039 Ashton Griffin here, what else is going on? How that? How? 347 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.359 What's that? That's what? That's not? That doesn't finish today? 348 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:41.480 That place, Well, it's supposed to play onto a foul table today, 349 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.839 have the Dealer's Choice. That's not going to happen. Ah. Yeah, 350 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:51.880 Dealer's Choice kicked off today, you know, is it? I mean, 351 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.240 I don't know, you're the numbers going to have nine? You know? 352 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:56.960 You know, I pull up the updates, first thing I see is Deep 353 00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:02.240 gets scooped. So you're gonna like you're gonna like that one. We went 354 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:03.799 over to the Dealer's Choice today and I thought Sean d was going to fight 355 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.680 Tim like legit, he said fire, Yeah, he was changing him to 356 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:14.680 a fight. That would be funny, he would probably. I mean, 357 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:22.440 he's he's crushing this, he's crushing this tournament. Okay, there are some 358 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.720 people playing in this tournament. I saw some people playing in the Omaha eight 359 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.839 that I didn't think had any idea how to play these games, which is 360 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.000 interesting to me. I mean, people are out there blasting. I would 361 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.920 have never guessed that Justin Saliva is going to play a Dealer's Choice event yep, 362 00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:42.160 never in a million years. But there he is. I didn't think 363 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.480 Eric Baldmon played Omaha eight. There he did not know. I didn't think 364 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.759 Upeshka Da Silva played Omaha eight. But there he is, Like, you 365 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.640 know, just like stuff like that. I'm just like, I don't know 366 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.160 any of these guys did any of this stuff, but hey, here we 367 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.000 are. Oh, it looks like the prize pool was confirmed. Five hundred 368 00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.319 and thirty entries. Would they get last year? Look? Get up? 369 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:06.319 I have no idea. I think off on my head, Dyl's choice the 370 00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:14.720 fifteen hundred. Who knows Adam Friedman, Chad Evesledge, Come on, I 371 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.920 thought he won the fifteen hundred, but Duke or something? That was Michael 372 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.759 Rodriguez. That was Michael Rodriguez last he was four fifty six. Oh so 373 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.640 big uptick. Five hundred and thirty entries mixed, samsy, Hey, buddy, 374 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.240 let's go, baby, let's go. It's going to be a great 375 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.160 f in Summer Price Pool seven hundred and seven thousand dollars. Top eighty places 376 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.599 are going to pay out three thousand dollars and a little bit of change to 377 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.799 get into the money. Champions are going to take home more than one hundred 378 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:48.319 and thirty eight thousand dollars. So a couple of days still to go in 379 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.839 that one. So, I mean, I guess that's pretty much the news 380 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:56.200 so far and anything specific you want to talk about as it relates to the 381 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.440 WSITV news wise. No, No, I mean, how you on about 382 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.279 today? Like it was good to turn the cameras on. It was good 383 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.920 to turn the cameras on. I had some issues. I wish we would 384 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:10.480 have turned them on early. What were the issues? We didn't have a 385 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.160 shuffle We forgot forgot a shuffler. I had to run to the back. 386 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.680 We don't have a dealer. Dealers, Well, the whole tournament's you shuffle 387 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.359 machines. Yeah, but it's one table. Who cares, well, you 388 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.480 shuffle the cart. That's what the TV was like, It doesn't matter, 389 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.119 but you know, I felt that we needed to do it, so I 390 00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.279 ran and got it. The you know what, the box that holds the 391 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.960 shuffler in brought it out, We got some lifestyle wives. We cleaned it 392 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:37.920 up, we put the shuffle on, we made sure we plugged it with 393 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.759 to lift the table up, which is a little scary when there's chips on 394 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.200 the table, but lifted it up to slide the power cord underneath. But 395 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.640 we kicked off that. You guys are all running around on Yeah, I 396 00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.680 was like, what the hell is? What is going on? Stuff happens 397 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.039 that you forget about and you just solve it, You just figure it out. 398 00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.920 But well, I did a one hour preview today that I didn't know 399 00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.000 I was doing until an hour or two beforehand on what I think was like 400 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:04.839 a thirty dollars USB headset microphone. I honestly thought that it was gonna break 401 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:07.400 if I touched it. It was very weird. Where are the good headphones? 402 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:14.599 They weren't set up for today anyway. Something interesting that David Coleman, 403 00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:19.680 who made the final table busted six six. He was like, he was 404 00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:25.200 mentioning, how they don't I'm just so used to what we do in the 405 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.519 studio on the PGT that like it got to the end of the level and 406 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.160 he's like, so weird. They don't draw her hands, which is a 407 00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:36.880 thing that like we just do. They had no shot clock. It was 408 00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:41.160 soft hand for hand at ten. It was so much stoling yesterday, it 409 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.240 was fucking unbelievable. Why them? I mean, what we do on the 410 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.200 PGT is what should be done everywhere. I'm sorry, I have a ride 411 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.839 it's yeah, but it's other places like Triton does stuff very well, you 412 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.839 know. Yeah, Like I'm assuming the EBT does a lot of stuff very 413 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.200 well as well. I don't know about the BPT. I would have to 414 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.720 see Matt Savage's PowerPoint, but I saw part of it and I don't want 415 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.920 to see any more of it. But yeah, I mean, if we 416 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.720 got to get a Savage dig in at some point, don't we Sure, 417 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.799 Yeah, we'll get one into my I'm just annoyed that they're not live streaming 418 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.599 these final tables that's going on. Some results from those I have, Like 419 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:19.440 I feel like I feel like these events are just non existent. They don't 420 00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:22.640 exist. Yeah, I mean it's like why, I don't know why, 421 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.720 Like speaking of turning the cameras on, turn the damn cameras on, Savage, 422 00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:30.079 they have them on. You just did not pressing send to YouTube button. 423 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.279 Yeah, I was like, I was like, legit pumped to watch 424 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.799 those final tables. Yeah, you know, the first one seminal, massive 425 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.559 field, huge paydays, if you could see if Josh Reicher could go on 426 00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:42.839 to to finally get a title. And the second one, you know you 427 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:45.960 got Eric Afriott, you got Eric Lingren. I mean it's like, you 428 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:48.559 know, that's great, Like, but I got no idea what's going on? 429 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.240 You can watch them on TV in nine months with the channels we don't 430 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.240 have. With the channels we don't have. What else we got to talk 431 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:02.279 about? You put some like here, we gotta do a segment, producer 432 00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.359 Rich Yeah, I mean if you only came here for the news, you 433 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:11.880 can probably just turn off the podcast right now. So Tim wrote as like 434 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:17.480 the subheader here, what random poker player did you see today? And I 435 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:19.200 guess we have a jingle. Oh yeah, that's why we've named it. 436 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:23.680 All right, So here's the jingle. I got no idea what's coming. 437 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.599 It's time for another segment. Tim came up with that. Donnie will try 438 00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.119 to ignore it as much as possible. It's what random poker player did you 439 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:40.519 see today? All right, this is your segment, so please leave the 440 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:44.440 way, sir. We started this the day before and we're gonna, we're 441 00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:48.720 gonna, we're gonna see this through. Which random poker player did you see 442 00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:52.200 today? While we walked the halls of the Horseshoe in Paris. My first 443 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.960 one was but when I walked by myself, I saw Richard Ashby Chuffty. 444 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:57.759 I was like, oh, that's a little random, but I got none 445 00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.519 and not I can top that. I remember we drafted him once in twenty 446 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:02.599 five game, didn't show up, and then all of a sudden he showed 447 00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:09.119 up. Thank god. I I'm going to nominate three people as my random 448 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:14.319 poker player. I'll tell you, I'll tell you if they qualify. It's 449 00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.279 random because of where we saw him. We already touched onone, Justin Saliba 450 00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.400 in the Dealer's Choice. I'm going to throw two more names. Justine Saliba 451 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.279 is not random here, but he's not random for that event. Yes, 452 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:30.119 this this is specific to this event. Michael Duek and Jesse Loners playing the 453 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.240 fifteen hundred Dealers. I don't think Yuek has played anything but four cards since 454 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:38.160 he finished third in the main event, and Jesse Loaners I'm pretty sure doesn't 455 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:44.400 know what Stard highlow the rules are. So when I saw them playing and 456 00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:49.799 then you throw in Saliba, they topped my my random you know, seeing 457 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.880 of Richard Ashby in the whole way, not even playing poker, just sitting 458 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.519 in the hall way at the you know, one of those promo boosts. 459 00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.640 But then my, then my three random poker players that I saw today, 460 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:06.480 I was sent an image a photo of the stunning one, the who Bill 461 00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:12.319 Edler. Supposedly he's over at speaking of the WPT over at Luxor at the 462 00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:17.359 Hyperex Arena. I think he's friends with Eric Lingren so sweating Eric Lingran's run 463 00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:22.640 was Bill Edler last? I haven't seen that name in four ever, I 464 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:28.319 would say his last cash on Hendon. I mean, who knows if he 465 00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:35.519 has like some random cash but like it two thousand got this is random ten 466 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.839 yeah? So yes, Sidlau was January twenty eleven, Yeah, twenty six 467 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:45.799 hundred dollars now live hold him heads up Tournament Southern Poker Championship Biloxi, fourth 468 00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:54.400 and seventy five dollars. So when when I got word of this whole poker 469 00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:59.880 industry craziness that we are now, you know, fully entrenched in and like 470 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:09.360 I remember. I remember I was playing on full tilt someone that I was 471 00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:14.599 playing and somehow we started talking. In the chat. I shared with him 472 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:19.960 my poker vlog. He said, hey, you should email this guy at 473 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.199 Poker News, John Caldwell, So I did emailed him. John Caldwell, 474 00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:29.880 who was running Poker News at the time, passed me over to Gary Gates, 475 00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:35.920 who was heading up the live reporting efforts, and I had an interview 476 00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:43.239 with Gary Gates, who is now one of my best friends, and on 477 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:47.480 the or during the interview, I remember sitting up in my room going like 478 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:52.119 I remember exactly where I was, I remember how it all went down. 479 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:57.920 One of the questions was, if you flop an open ended straight draw, 480 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.760 how many outs do you have? I remember that one. Seven, Yes, 481 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:05.760 that's correct, eleven, Both of those are correct. And but then 482 00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:09.239 he gave me he gave me nicknames of poker players, and I had to 483 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.920 name the poker player he gave me Jesus. I can't remember who else, 484 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:17.440 but I know he gave me the stunning one. And I didn't know. 485 00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:21.440 I didn't know. I was like, I have no idea who. I 486 00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:22.679 was like, I don't know who you're talking about man like I think he 487 00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:27.199 gave me. The professor was Howard Letter, Like, I mean, yeah, 488 00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:29.960 I didn't get it, and he's like Bill Edler. I was like, 489 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.559 oh okay, like you know, acting like I was just blanked. 490 00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:36.719 But no, I had no fn idea what was going on? Anyway. 491 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:42.000 That's my only Bill Edler story for no reason whatsoever. What is Bill Edgat 492 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:49.880 Bill Edlas's biggest skull, biggest score eight hundred k, pretty close enough? 493 00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.719 What is it? Nine hundred and four thousand? He won the five k 494 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:58.000 and no themen hold him six macs. In two thousand and seven. A 495 00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:02.239 couple months later, he won the Dumble VPT Golf Coast Poker Championship in Biloxi 496 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.639 for seven hundred and fifty K. Yeah, I mean he was. He 497 00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.320 was a He was a notable face, a big name back in the day, 498 00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:13.519 during during the Pom Poker boom days. I mean for sure. So 499 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.360 it was interesting that that, you know, I got that photo sent to 500 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:19.400 me. I mean I didn't The photo was from far away, so I 501 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.679 didn't, you know, fully recognize it. At first, I was, 502 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:27.760 are you sure that it's him? Positive? It's I mean, I think 503 00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.800 so I mean, I don't know why you would would help you would send 504 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.199 that to me if it wasn't him, Like, why would you send me 505 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:35.159 a photo and be like, I think this is Bill Idler? Like, 506 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.679 I'm just assuming that that it is. And if it's not, well screw 507 00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:42.199 it. I'm sticking to the story because we've had a fun chat about it. 508 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.079 All right, enough of that nonsense. Let's get into get into more 509 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:51.880 nonsense, which is the Community Cards segment. Attention Attension, Good morning, 510 00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.000 good afternoon, and good evenings of the Poker Radio audience near and far. 511 00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:59.840 It is now time for a brand spanking, spiffy and new shout out to 512 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:02.800 some of our most loyal listeners who likely got a bit too lucky on the 513 00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:07.719 way to the spotlight. You're listening to the number one poker show in the 514 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:12.920 land, and it's time for a new edition of the Poker Gough Podcast Community 515 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.679 Cards. All right, what do you got from me? Here? Are 516 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.559 we gonna have the community cards every day? Hell? Yes, Well there's 517 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.920 a poker of course we have to. Well we'll see, we'll see what 518 00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:23.840 happens. But our first thing, Eugene, Paul and Bubble the Omaha High 519 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:29.280 Lower he was wearing his hat, but he did take a photo with Jeff 520 00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:34.000 Platt and post it on Twitter, so maybe the hat is still lucky. 521 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.519 But the Jeff Plat curse continues. I just want to I think nothing in 522 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:45.000 poker is stupider than the Jeff Platt curse thing. I hate this damn thing 523 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.960 with the passion. Okay, I can't stand it. I think it's beyond 524 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:53.280 silly and dumb. I don't think it's beyond the silliness yet, No, 525 00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:59.639 I think it's so incredibly dumb and stupid, and I think it undermines Jeff 526 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:02.599 trying to do his job. I don't even care how Jeff thinks about this. 527 00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:06.239 I don't care if Jeff thinks it's like a cool, fun thing. 528 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.000 I hate it. I think it's stupid. And whenever I see people talking 529 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:12.760 about the Jeff Platt curse, I want to punch them in the face. 530 00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:15.440 I can't stand Please don't punch me. But okay, let's move on next 531 00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.280 one. You know, we mentioned this guy, Andy Gold, We got 532 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:22.320 his name. He was on the rail for a majority of the day for 533 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:29.760 the kickoff. His friend end up making the Kickoff final table. Andy was 534 00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:31.119 wearing his hat the whole time, and I feel like there's a little bit 535 00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:36.360 of lucky Hat by Osmosis here, So I'm going to count this as at 536 00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:42.039 first WSSP final table of twenty twenty four. David. I don't really know 537 00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.840 how to pronounce your last name Night ring House. Maybe David, that's coming 538 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:52.559 in eighth of eighth at the kickoff final table, but lucky hat one WSP 539 00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:54.679 final table. I'm going to count it. I'm counting it, Okay, 540 00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:58.360 Okay, I mean, I guess we might as well hit on this twenty 541 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.559 five k fantasy stuff. I just pulled up the standings here so we can 542 00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:07.360 go over this quickly. You know we did mention earlier. Daniel Negroan, 543 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:15.199 you scored the field bonus in the five hundred dollars kickoff for our team. 544 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:21.960 We are currently in third place. The Dinkers are up on top with fifty 545 00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:28.159 seven points. That is thanks to David Coleman making the final table of the 546 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:35.079 five thousand dollars Champions Reunion. Coleman scored forty two points there. He has 547 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.679 a he hit a price of three dollars, so pretty good score for Coleman. 548 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.800 The Year of David Coleman continues. Guys absolutely crushing it. Team Lady 549 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:49.800 Gaga second with forty points and then Team DPMC third with thirty nine points. 550 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:52.599 That's us. Last year it was us and Lady Gaga, back and forth 551 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:54.920 and back and forth and back and forth. And it looks like it's setting 552 00:39:54.960 --> 00:40:00.559 up like it could be that again. Let's go RENLN bring it on. 553 00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:04.719 Did Rent did he draft himself? No, he didn't even draft himself. 554 00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:08.440 We're a loser. Wow, what a baby. I would draft myself if 555 00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.239 I played a high volume schedule. Daniel tried to draft himself. We walked 556 00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:15.599 through the field and all people do is talk shit to me. That's all 557 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.880 they do. Oh well, you paid one hundred and thirty two dollars. 558 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.760 You pay what's through the one hundred and thirty dollars. Okay, number one. 559 00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:27.599 If you want to talk shit, put up your money and get in 560 00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.880 the damn fantasy league. Rich Ryan and I talked shit sitting on a couch 561 00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:35.800 in the hallway at the Rio on the Poker News podcast back in the day. 562 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:38.000 And you know what, we were challenged by Daniel Legrander to get in 563 00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:40.960 there, and we got in there, and we've been in there okay, 564 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.280 and then we won the damn thing last year. Okay, So if you're 565 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.559 gonna sit out there and talk your shit, get in there. Okay, 566 00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:52.079 you can get in there. You don't have to put up the full twenty 567 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:54.639 five k do what we do, sell action, Get in there. I 568 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:59.719 don't want to hear this nonsense. Okay. And second of all, I 569 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.480 don't think any of these people understand fantasy strategy and stars and scrubs and all 570 00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.360 that sort of nonsense. Because everyone gets scared, they back off. They 571 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.840 probably don't do a lot of research and have a bunch of cheap players and 572 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:15.199 whatever. But yeah, people just be talking smack NonStop. It's great, 573 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:21.199 Daniel, if you're listening, I want you to know that we believe in 574 00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:25.079 you. I told you, I believe you're gonna win three bracelets this summer, 575 00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:29.199 so let's go. I know you're heating up. But I also want 576 00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.280 you to know that all these idiots out there, they think that one hundred 577 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.679 and thirty two dollars for you is too expensive. I was gonna go to 578 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:40.719 a buck ninety three. I was gonna max out the salary for one player. 579 00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.800 I was doing it. This is Daniel's year. Okay. This is 580 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:50.400 when he says, you know what, I haven't won a bracelet since twenty 581 00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.159 thirteen. I haven't won one in Vegas since two thousand and seven. I'm 582 00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:58.639 getting all that crap off my back. We are doing it. Kid Poker 583 00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:04.440 is back. Okay. He is more focused than ever. He's already passed 584 00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:07.880 a million dollars in earnings on the year. He's crushing it on the PGT. 585 00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:12.119 He's writing all the wrongs that happened to him last year where he lost 586 00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:15.239 more than two point two million dollars. Daniel Legrandy is back. He's probably 587 00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:21.360 gonna win WSP Player of the Year. Eat at Sean deeb kid poker all 588 00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:27.239 day. Let's go listen you like, no, you you can't. You 589 00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:32.000 can't. I get riled up when these people like they talk smack these people 590 00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:37.400 NonStop. It's part of the game. No, you know, you can't 591 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.039 talk smack. You can't talk smack like it's just not it's just not possible. 592 00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:44.760 I think there was even an article about this. I know I'm pulling 593 00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:51.880 this up right now. Yeah maybe, oh no, most over valued pick 594 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:57.599 TJ. Reid. I love Daniel Legrandu. He's consistently a top performer in 595 00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.960 fantasy, but at one hundred and thirty two dollars that just too much in 596 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:07.679 an auction format. Team DPMC was handcuffed after spending most of their money on 597 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.840 one pick. That is, that could not be further from the truth. 598 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:15.719 We were not handcuffed in any way, shape or form. Okay, we 599 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.800 were not handcuffed. In fact, I think we left twenty dollars on the 600 00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:24.039 table like we weren't handcuffed. They still got Steven Shadwick. We still got 601 00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:29.840 Sean Winter. But he thinks the variance is too high. After spending sixty 602 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:32.320 six percent of their money was locked up on DX. I was willing to 603 00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:37.800 spend basically ninety six percent of my money on d NEX. Okay, if 604 00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:42.400 leave me alone, if you win again this year, If if I win, 605 00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:47.800 you need a bro I am. I will be the receipts king screenshots 606 00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:52.960 on Twitter everywhere, Okay, all over the place. You doubted us, 607 00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:58.440 You doubted us, you doubted us. Let's go. We are on the 608 00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.639 d NEX, ride all way back to the winner circle. Let's f and 609 00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:05.639 go, and then I might just quit the league, take my two belts 610 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:08.880 and go the f home three, Pep baby, Jordan, No, I 611 00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:12.599 know it's just you gotta walk away. You gotta get in on a wind 612 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:14.920 to walk away. Maybe just win it twice and get out of there. 613 00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.840 You never Yeah, but people just be talking smack. I mean whatever, 614 00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.719 A bunch of haters out there. You guys can all you guys can all 615 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:31.119 get in there. Does it show on on ODB? I don't think it 616 00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:34.960 shows. You know, they don't have everything populated. I think it shows 617 00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.400 like ownership. Doesn't it show that? Yeah? Yeah, we should see 618 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:44.760 the ownership percentage for Daniel Legrando. Let's see what happened exactly. All those 619 00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:47.960 people are sharp, that's what they're doing. Go Daniel, go all right. 620 00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.679 Tomorrow on deck, we got day one B of the one thousand dollars 621 00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.519 Mystery Millions Again. That event kicked off today. It had two hundred and 622 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.880 twenty three more entries in the opening flight than it did last year, so 623 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:07.239 very very good sign for that event. We also have event number eight, 624 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:13.079 five thousand dollars pot Limit Omaha. We are planning on streaming that one starting 625 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:17.400 on Sunday. We are planning on streaming day three and the final table. 626 00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:22.039 This is a scheduled as a four day event, right, No, but 627 00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:24.599 we're gonna push it. Its scheduled is a three day. We've looked at 628 00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:30.000 some numbers and some previous events, and we think it's gonna need a I 629 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:32.519 think this I think this event. Have they had a five K plow? 630 00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:37.800 Yeah, this one's gonna blow down. I mean, listen, six we 631 00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.239 were wildly off on our predictions for the kickoff. I think this one crushes. 632 00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:45.280 I hope. So. I mean it's a five K pot limit. 633 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:49.960 Omaha is the hottest thing in the planet right now, right, and this 634 00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.000 is a five K I mean this essentially placed the five K half and half 635 00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:57.599 right, the five K half and half k last year. Well, because 636 00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:00.639 they don't have the five K half, they don't have the five K half, 637 00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:04.239 correct, I think it replaces the three K plot they don't have that. 638 00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:07.639 I believe they should have both of those. Maybe they do, but 639 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.400 this is structure wise very similar to the three K. So I'll say this 640 00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:19.159 gets six hundred. What do you think five point fifty? Okay? Yeah, 641 00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:21.159 I mean I haven't thought about it at all. That's the same the 642 00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:22.800 same guess as me. Yeah, I hope we're not wildly wrong again, 643 00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:27.360 or we're just gonna have to maybe one of them wildly wrong so that at 644 00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:29.320 least one of us is great, I should say, like nine hundred, 645 00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:31.880 well three hundred, no, don't, don't do that. We also have 646 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:37.599 day one of the fifteen hundred dollars limit hold Them, the min Bet Mini 647 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.679 Championship. The min Bet Championship is the ten K limit hold Them. I 648 00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:45.159 believe they also have the three K limit hold Them six Max on the schedule 649 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:51.360 this year, so three straight limit hold them tournaments. Obviously. You know, 650 00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:55.360 the poker community is a pretty small community in the grand scheme of things, 651 00:46:55.360 --> 00:47:00.440 but the limit community, the limit hold them community within the poker community, 652 00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:02.800 is even smaller. So yeah, you know we'll get all the all 653 00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.920 the limit hold them specialists. We'll be out there for that one, of 654 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:12.960 course, but that one usually draws pretty well, so you know, looking 655 00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:15.840 forward to it. All right, that's gonna do it for us. My 656 00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:20.840 name is Donnie Peters, his name is Tim Duckworth, and we will talk 657 00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:28.559 to you guys tomorrow face Express
