00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,120
Hello, everyone, Welcome back to
a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast,

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,879
the number one poker podcast in the
land. Don't let anyone hell's out

3
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,640
there tell you any different. My
name is Donny Peters. His name is

4
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,519
Tim Duckworth. I hope you guys
are doing well. Fun show today.

5
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:34,320
Gonna run down a lot of stuff
that went down here at the Debisipee day

6
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:39,079
off yesterday for the pod. So
welcome us back into your ears. That

7
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,079
was my phone. I went,
yeah, I didn't know where you were.

8
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,280
I texted you like, I'm on
my way home, Like what huh?

9
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:47,600
What's going on? I busted up
shoop it online bracelet event. I

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,920
was tilted, there's nothing for me
to do, and I said, I'm

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,640
gonna go home and say my family
was still. At the time, I

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,640
thought it worked out because I was
like, I'm gonna play tomorrow, so

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:00,039
I'll go home early as well.
I'll get some sleep. But it's so

14
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:06,439
weird how my body adjusts for the
world series where if I have a early

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,359
night and I go to sleep and
sleep for a long time, I always

16
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,760
it's one hundred percent of the time
I will almost over sleep or or I

17
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,079
will oversleep and I almost overslept this
morning and missed the start of the tournament,

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,159
which I should have done because I
lost the first hand and whatever during

19
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:23,920
the World Series. I will try
and sleep, Ellie. Like last time,

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,359
I went to bed at ten,
No, I sid only got six

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,760
hours of sleep, Like, it's
not late. I went home. I

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,120
don't even know what time I went
home yesterday. I think I got home

23
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,840
around nine, maybe nine thirty ten, I don't remember. But I was

24
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:38,879
up until midnight sweating our fantasy team. I had too how could I not?

25
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640
And then they were doing well.
When I was sweating, I was

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,680
like, you know what, it's
midnight, I'm done going to bed.

27
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:48,200
I went to bed and they didn't
get any more points. So I mean

28
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:52,640
I feel I should have stayed up
and kept sweating them. Um all right.

29
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:57,159
On today's show, Mike Gardinski wins
his third WSB Gold bracelets. Billy

30
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:02,159
Baster falls short of winning his eighth, but an epic epic run, an

31
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:07,159
epic final table in that one,
it was the Millionaire Maker is down to

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,639
five tables, forty two entries.
I believe two players left. Yeah about

33
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,479
forty. Mike Mattis how is currently
heads up in the center of the room

34
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,039
here inside the Horseshoe Event Center.
He's in the fifteen stud High Low tournament.

35
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,800
The PLO high Roller twenty five thousand
dollars buy in this fin tournament,

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,280
I mean, is like the most
amazing thing I've ever seen. What's all

37
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,719
the money coming from. I don't
no idea, but that thing. It

38
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,639
burst the bubble there in the money. We'll talk about how big the field

39
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,719
size is, because it is absolutely
wild, how big it is the salute

40
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:49,719
to warriors. Are they done for
the night? I think they're redrawing to

41
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,879
three tables, absolutely flying in that
tournament. Um, so we'll check in

42
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,240
on that. We got the three
K limit hold him six max. We'll

43
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,599
do an update on that. There
are two events that kicked off today.

44
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,599
One of them I played and busted
in one of them. Tim and I

45
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,800
both busted tournaments today. We're doing
very well for the for the team,

46
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000
for the home team. So you
know, that's how we liked. We

47
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,840
just like to lay our money afar. That's how we roll. As always,

54
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Yea love this still last weeks,
not once we finally get these damn hats

55
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,879
we do. There's a lot of
people out there that have been asking for

56
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,280
hats. Yes, people are like
in the DMS, they are seeing us

57
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,840
around the horseshoe in Paris asking us
for hats. Somebody sang family pot to

58
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,039
you today, saying it like saying
it. The password has just come up

59
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:01,800
to us and say family Pot.
No the person sang it. He says,

60
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,800
I need a lucky hat. I
have five big blinds in the salute

61
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,520
to Warre And I said, aren't
you in the money, because yeah,

62
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,120
but I want to chip up more. I'm like, good point, But

63
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,039
yeah, they're still waiting on these
hats. Okay, listen, I got

64
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,480
I got a little bone to pick
here. These guys from High Noon they

65
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,240
got goddamn hats. It's not okay. Not only did they get hats,

66
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,560
they completely ripped off our design our
hat. It is our exact hat.

67
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:32,839
It looks the same other than the
logo. I mean, have some originality

68
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,399
and some creativity, guys. I
mean, come on, guys, if

69
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:38,720
you needed help, you could have
come to us and Tim and I would

70
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,160
have put our minds together and been
like, yeah, this is what you

71
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:44,480
should do. Who's behind the high
Noon. There's not much creativity there,

72
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:47,000
mister Hanks called personally. Personally,
I think that hat should have been like

73
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:53,079
red, because the logo is like
the flame is red like that, you

74
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:55,560
know, like I think it should
have been read. I also think that

75
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,639
maybe you could have done like a
cowboy hat high Noon playoff the West co.

76
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:02,079
They would, okay, Dan Smith
Mine, No, they would come

Ah. I'm gonna read this review. It kind of threw me off

91
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:03,240
the loop because the time is Remco
is the best, but he continues my

92
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,839
favorite poker podcast hands down, Donnie
and Remco the best host eva. Then

93
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,680
one day Remco went off on a
bike ride and just like my father that

94
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,920
went out for cigarettes never came back. That brought in Tim and the best

gotta do writer review, take a
screenshot podcast at poker go dot com.

104
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaking of Remco, I do want
to give a shout out. He did

105
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,920
have a bike race the other day. He got third. That's pretty good.

106
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,240
Podium. He was in the stream
chat while he was driving there and

107
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,279
he said podium or buzz And I
told the chat I said, he has

108
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560
to get the podium now that he
said that, or I'm not letting him

109
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,759
back into the commentary booth. He
got the podium, finished behind two pros.

110
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:12,240
One of the guys was had previously
entered the tour to France, so

111
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:16,120
I can't sure is he just making
no? I believe Remco. I can't

112
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:20,240
blame him for getting third, So
good on Remco for that. So congratulations

113
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:26,120
to Remco. This episode of the

00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,000
wins the ten thousand dollar Horse Championship. Mike Gordinsky took down more than four

118
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:56,720
hundred and twenty two thousand dollars.
It was his third WSP goal Bracelet's been

119
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:59,600
a little bit of time since he's
been in the Winter circle here at the

120
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,319
World's a Poker. He won his
first goal bracelet in twenty thirteen when he

121
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:09,319
won the twenty five d oe event
that is Omaha Eighter better and Stud Highlow

00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,240
for that one, and then in
two fifteen he won the fifty thousand dollars

Poker Players Championship for one million,
two hundred and seventy thousand dollars. That

125
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,639
is also the year that Mike Gordonski
was crowned WSP Player of the Year.

126
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:26,839
Oh yeah, I forgot about it. Yeah, So it's been a few

127
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,720
years since uh Gordo has been in
the WSP Winter Circle. Not a massive

128
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:35,679
tournament grinder, you know, it
plays a lot of high stakes cash games

129
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,320
obviously, dabbles in, you know, a lot of these bigger buying mixed

130
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:43,720
tournaments here at THEBESP. But it's
been you know, what is it eight

131
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:48,159
years? Seven or eight years since
he's gotten into the WP winner circle.

132
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,679
Feeling good about it. We spoke
with him afterwards, so let's play that

133
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,919
interview for you now. All right, Mike Gordinsky, chip leader coming into

134
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:58,879
the today, it seemed like it
was pretty easy for you today. Everything

135
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,600
kind of went your way. How
did it go in your eyes? Yeah,

136
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,159
the cards made are kind of easy. I felt like I didn't really

137
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:07,039
need to think about it much,
honestly, if the cards just kind of

138
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,720
fell in and then um, the
sacks got to a point where I was

139
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,919
able to maneuver kind of easily.
Does the feeling of winning a tournament get

140
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,600
old it's been a little while since
twenty No, it is great. Definitely,

141
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,080
we'll never get old, Mike.
You know, obviously we're past the

142
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,440
halfway point here. It can be
a grind to the World Series. Can

143
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,320
you tell me, do you feel
relief or something else? In terms of

144
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,960
you know, playing through that much
of the series and then you know,

145
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,720
coming through and winning this race.
Yeah, I definitely feel relief. I

146
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:37,039
um, I mean especially this year. I had kind of a rocky starts

147
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,720
my summer and um and yeah,
Michael, my plan actually was if I

148
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:43,200
didn't cash or go find this tournament, I was gonna fly home for a

149
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,000
week and a half to recharge,
spence some time with my wife. So

150
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,200
yeah, this run was kind of
like an unexpected, really cool way to

151
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,720
wrap up a otherwise like long,
kind of tough month. You reference it.

152
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:56,679
I don't know if you could tell
us anymore, if there's any more

153
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,039
clarity with what happened at the start
of this appellagio. Um So I'm still

154
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,320
kind of waiting from a quote unquote
official word, but basically, they ran

155
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,440
a security process and according to them, I'm the only person that access to

156
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:15,519
it. So compensation at this point
is looking unlikely, but I'm hoping to

157
00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:20,080
have further conversations with something socks at
MGM. So that's yeah, two through

158
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,679
bracelets, you win a PPC and
another one. Where where does this rank

159
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,279
in the war? Um? I
think this one would rank second. I

160
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,240
you know, the PPC kind of
stands alone as a cool career achievement,

161
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,279
but yeah, this one was great. It's been in quite a few years,

162
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,519
so I feel it's kind of good
to, you know, brush to

163
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,320
the dust off and do something,
do something fun. How tough is it

164
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,279
to get through a field like this
with so many killers, similar to a

165
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:46,600
PPC where it's just you know,
do you leap the whole way? I

166
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:48,200
mean, you had such a tough
field to get through, especially in the

167
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,559
last couple of days, and you
just kind of ran away with it today.

168
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:54,960
Um yeah. I mean basically every
ten k plus is a similar kind

169
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,200
of field, right where when you
get down to it, it's all good

170
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,320
players and you've seen to get the
right card in maneuver, and yeah,

171
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,399
I was just able to do it. I don't know, was there point

172
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,799
through yesterday or today where you kind
of knew that, you know, you

173
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,960
were taking control and it kind of
felt like he was coming to you.

174
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,399
Uh yeah, like wrapping up last
night, it kind of felt like I

175
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,120
was getting momentum and I felt pretty
confident going into today, and um yeah,

176
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,159
obviously today was really fast and I
felt pretty comfortable and confident the whole

177
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,519
way. Any change in your mentality
early in the day when Brad got the

178
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,480
chip lead from me early in the
day. And then yeah, that first

179
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,399
hand was not ideal. Um No, just because everything kind of rolled in

180
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,360
right after that. There wasn't any
kind of further setback, So yeah,

181
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:37,240
it was pretty pretty easy from that
point on. From this point on,

182
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,960
Dad rise a little more focused on
the Poy movie. No, you know,

183
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,960
Sean just grinding so hard for it. But it just it like still

184
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,159
feels out of each a spot.
Like I know, I'm probably like within

185
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,559
you know, first place finish or
something, but I just know he's gonna

186
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,799
play everything, and like, I
don't know, I missed my wife,

187
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:52,799
I missed my dog. Like I
want to go home and spend some time

188
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:56,279
at home before I come back out
here. Obviously pretty happy to get in

189
00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:00,639
the Winter circle. Of course,
Tim Furrevanti from the World Pope had to

190
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:05,879
slide in there with the question about
his Bellagio box situation. I feel like

191
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:09,440
everyone's kind of forgotten about it.
Yes, I had forgotten about so at

192
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,480
the beginning of the summer. If
you if you guys recall or if you're

193
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:20,200
following um Mike Ardenski on social media, but he tweeted, went to Belagio

194
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,519
today. This was on June first, so Smack dab at the start of

195
00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:28,720
the w went to Beolagio today to
access my box and my key was stuck,

196
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:33,840
Slash not opening. They wind up
having to drill it join the box

197
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:37,960
and when they lift the box out, it's empty. Extremely fed up situation.

198
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,120
If anyone has any insight on best
steps Slash, who to contact from

199
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:48,799
here, please reach out. That
was after we had already drafted him in

200
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:52,120
twenty five. Yeah, so this
comes out and it's like, oh,

201
00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:56,279
here we go. Haven't really heard
anything since. Mike Roardinski's not massive on

202
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,519
social media. You know, he
did tweet some stuff since then. One

203
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,320
of the things he did tweet afterwards
was, you know, thanks to everyone

204
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,639
who reached out to help me with
this situation is still ongoing. You know.

205
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:07,720
He tweeted about how he made the
horse Final table, but not big

206
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:11,399
on social media. So he was
asked about it in that interview and you

207
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,320
heard it there, like, it
doesn't really sound like he has an answer

208
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:18,919
that is a super positive one.
Sounds like he's still kind of waiting to

209
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:24,360
hear officially from the Blagio. But
when he says that, according to Blagio,

210
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,399
he was the only one to access
his box. But then if he's

211
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,879
under the impression that there was a
lot of money in the box, or

212
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,440
money in the box in general,
Like, I mean, I don't know,

213
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,639
it sounds like a really kind of
messed up situation. But I guess

214
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,559
good for him that things are able
to come around because that happens and start

215
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:46,000
your summer off. Maybe you're not
making some deep runs and tournaments, it's

216
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,519
all kind of you know, snowballing, but you do rip off the foreigner

217
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:52,840
and twenty two k win in the
ten thousand dollar horse Championships. So what

218
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:56,240
would you do if that happened to
you? Let's say we had I mean,

219
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,039
I have no idea what would happen
half your bank rolling there? Yeah,

220
00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:01,600
I mean I would I would freak
out. I mean, I don't

221
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:03,200
know what I would tell you,
Like I would, I'd probably freak out.

222
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,080
I'd probably try and like talk to
some lawyers or like what can you

223
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,639
I mean, I don't know.
I feel like this is one of those

224
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:15,559
spots where I mean, the casino
has a lot of leverage. Yeah,

225
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,120
I mean, how can you prove
anything. Are they gonna show you security

226
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,519
tapes? Do they even have security
tapes from like whenever it was like the

227
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,080
last time you went till then?
Like what if it's been like six months?

228
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,879
I mean Mike Rodonski doesn't live in
Las Vegas. I mean what if

229
00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:31,159
he hadn't been in Las Vegas since
that stuff happened? Or like what if

230
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,320
you know, he comes out for
like the wind stuff right like that that

231
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,360
time in Las Vegas. There's a
lot of stuff here. Maybe there's some

232
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,799
high stakes cash games. So let's
say he comes out in December. This

233
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,879
is all I'm just you know,
hypothetical situation here. He comes out in

234
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:46,080
December, but it's been six months
okay, since he's had money or since

235
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,759
he's seen his box. Yeah,
so like do they have six months of

236
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:50,559
tapes every single day that they can
verify? Know? Like how long is

237
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,320
it gonna take to go through that? Like it's all like it's a whole,

238
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,799
big, giant WTF and like I
have no idea what you do.

239
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,759
Honestly, I would freak out.
I mean obvious, the last time he

240
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:03,000
was probably in there was February during
the Mix game series. But yeah,

241
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:07,720
this is a pretty pretty tough kind
of situation for him. But you know,

242
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:11,799
you say he wasn't running that well. Had seven cashes this year in

243
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:13,440
yeah, like you know, but
he's had some, He's had some,

244
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,759
Like I'm saying, he still had
some deep runs. He had you know,

245
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:18,919
seventh in the Dealer's Choice, a
tenth in the uh, the one

246
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,879
KPL. So he's still putting in
the work. And like, if this

247
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,039
was me, I think I would
have been I would have packed my car

248
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,120
up and hit a home. Yeah, I mean, he didn't mention there

249
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:31,120
that he was pretty much about to
head home and still might head home to

250
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,639
take some time off before he comes
back. Um, there are some big

251
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:39,919
tending to leave his money at the
I think if that ever happens to you,

252
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,600
you're you're gonna be very timid to
leave your money at any casino box.

253
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,360
I mean, or if you do, you're going to make sure that

254
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:48,600
you do do due diligence ahead of
time, Like, Hey, this happened

255
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,399
to me before. What happens if
this happens at this venue or at Balagio

256
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:54,919
again or whatever, you know,
it might be Like I need to want

257
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,759
I want to know, like what's
going on? The whole thing. It's

258
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:00,840
a shitty situation, you know,
and hopefully it gets rectified. I don't

259
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,000
know what's going to happen, but
maybe, you know, we'll see Mike

260
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:07,360
in a couple weeks or so and
we'll fallow up again and see what goes

261
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,519
on there. But that was the
update on the Blagio situation from Mike Gordonski

262
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:17,639
himself. And congratulations to Mike Gordonsky
for winning the ten K Horse Championship because

263
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,360
he's on our fantasy's about to say, most importantly down the twenty five K

264
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,200
fantasy team. Yeah, so basically
twenty five K fantasy. Just as a

265
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:32,279
quick little tangent here right now,
HiT's our team and Team Lady Gaga,

266
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,559
which is ren Lyn's team, who
are battling for the lead. You know,

267
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,679
we're kind of going back and forth. We held the lead for a

268
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:44,200
little bit. Ren Lynn's team has
been absolutely crushing it, mostly because of

269
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,840
Chance Corneth, but they have a
lot of high scores on their team,

270
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:49,639
but Chance Cornth is absolutely crushing it
for them. And then Alex Livingston believe

271
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:53,159
it was his second final table the
summer, and then he comes in second

272
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:57,799
place to Mike Gordinsky. So we're
only closed the gap by ten points there,

273
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:02,679
but we'll take it. Okay,
long way to go. As I've

274
00:17:02,679 --> 00:17:04,960
said, you know, I'm still
not feeling very confident. I just want

275
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,960
to be able to keep pace with
wren Land's team. As much as they

276
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,920
are absolutely crushing it, I hope
that we can continue to crush it.

277
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,640
We met with our captain today,
Sean Deeb. We had a talk with

278
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:21,279
him because he was feeling super bummed
out about messing up the twenty five kpolo.

279
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,079
That's what he said. He missed. He missed the field bonus in

280
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,400
the fifty study eight last night by
one spot. Finished in nineteenth. Field

281
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,799
bonus is eighteen, so that happens. He had a big stack kind of

282
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:37,480
deep in the four hundred all online
event last night, as did Stephens Song.

283
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,720
They both missed the field bonus in
that um. Sean Deeb probably his

284
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,559
favorite tournament the summer, if not
one of the twenty five kpolo, especially

285
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,920
with the numbers. Yeah, he
was like, I ran it up the

286
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,519
seven hundred K then I just you
know, kind of messed up whatever.

287
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:56,519
But he's basically been like effort,
you know, I gotta focus tunnel vision,

288
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,200
let's go. I think he's gonna
win two more bracelets the summer because

289
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,480
he is ready to go. Well, you know what's going to motivate him.

290
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,680
Player of the Year and his biggest
rival right now Iam and Taucas is

291
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,960
putting up some points in the Millie
Maker, and I think that's what we're

292
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,480
gonna talk about next. Hold on, we're gonna talk about the seniors first.

293
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,599
Then we're gonna get all well,
come on, the seniors was it

294
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:30,720
was incredible. So this one thousand
dollars Seniors championship eight thousand, one hundred

295
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,160
and eighty entries a record, okay, and it beat the previous record,

296
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,200
which was last year by what about
a thousand, just about a thousand entries

297
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:49,319
nine nine yeah us um. Lonnie
Hallett aka the Avenger is what he wrote

298
00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:55,920
down as his nickname, A farmer
from Canada, from Alberta, Canada.

299
00:18:56,039 --> 00:19:00,160
He wins it all seven hundred and
sixty five thousand, seven hundred and third

300
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:07,680
one dollars. Billy Baxter, the
Legend, gets second. Dan high Miller,

301
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,440
another legend, he gets third.
I mean this was and if you

302
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,880
guys didn't watch these the past two
days of live stream. So remco and

303
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,799
I did day four coverage yesterday on
the poker Go YouTube channel four free,

304
00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:26,480
so that's where you can find that
one. We streamed from when they got

305
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,240
down to three tables, so the
final twenty seven down to the final what

306
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,440
six was it six or seven?
Seven? Okay? And then today we

307
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,640
come back and we finished out the
live stream also on the poker Goo YouTube

308
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,720
channel from seven down to a winner, that winner of course being Lonnie Hallett.

309
00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:49,519
But the play was electric, it
was wild. There was a yeah

310
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,960
going into it. Listen, you
guys need to thank me. The entire

311
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,119
production staff needs to thank me.
All right, come on, you guys

312
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,319
were fighting. You guys were fighting
the seniors, and I said, the

313
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:06,599
play is going to be out of
control. We have to stream it.

314
00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:11,960
The stacks are shallow. These guys
do some weird stuff. Okay. We

315
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,480
had Dan High Miller is like the
weirdest player in poker. Like if the

316
00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:18,079
fact that he had a big stack, you gotta put it on stream.

317
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,079
And Billy Baxter's in there going for
number eight, like it was just the

318
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,799
whole thing was just wild. Okay. I was like, we have to

319
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:29,960
stream it. It's gonna be nuts, and it turned out it turned out

320
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,400
to be way more nuts than I
would have ever expected. There was a

321
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,880
hand yesterday on day four between Dan
High Miller and Ron Fesh that was the

322
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:44,200
most bananas thing I've ever seen,
turn card eight of clubs, Himular's hand

323
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,160
getting that much stronger, and if
Fesh is willing to call on the flop,

324
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:52,119
the forward pairing there doesn't really change
the dynamics of this board. So

325
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:53,839
I expect he's gonna put more money
in. I did not expect him to

326
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,240
lead, but here we go.
Wow. If you're Himuler her, Donny,

327
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,359
your only option really is to call
righten, Wow, he makes it

328
00:21:02,519 --> 00:21:06,559
thirteen million, does fetch thing?
He have aces and he's slow playing it.

329
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,599
How do you like him Miller's raise
here, Donnie. I think he's

330
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,839
just trying to, you know,
possibly get some value from hands like Jack's.

331
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:19,359
Maybe some tens also deny some equity. He does have that Queen of

332
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,319
diamonds in his hand, so a
hand like an ace Queen of diamonds is

333
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:29,920
blocked. Oh my god, on
him? Is this the craziest hand of

334
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,640
the entire summer? Oh my gosh. And Himler has to fade in Ace

335
00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:37,319
or a king here on the river, more than fifty million in the pot.

336
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,680
Fetch has six outs to bust Dan
high Miller and Shannon Fay. He's

337
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,480
scratching her head. Let's see the
river card. I'm nervous for Dan high

338
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:55,160
Miller. It's a queen Dan High
Miller with an enormous double up. Fetch

339
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,920
just has like the naked Ace High
and it was like a bet and a

340
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,319
raise and a reraise. All the
whole thing was he just watched the stream

341
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,839
because it was wild. There was
a bunch of banger hands. There was

342
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:08,920
Oh book, who's coming your boy? There he is, he's he's coming

343
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,640
to rail. Mikey there he is. Look at him, Look at him.

344
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,559
He's pumped. And Phil Halmuth he's
ready. Phil Hallmath is in the

345
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:19,519
building. He is here. Get
him on the pot to rail. We're

346
00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:22,720
not getting I'm not getting him on
the body. He wants to watch his

347
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,680
buddy anyway. But Phil Holmeath is
here. He has walked in the building.

348
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,559
According to Tim, Mike Matiso is
down in chips right now. Yeah,

349
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:37,319
but Superman has just walked in the
room just like oh look, he

350
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000
walks right up onto the stage.
I mean, this guy does not give

351
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:45,000
the camera is on. I can
see he looks like he's gonna sit down

352
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:47,440
next to Do you want to play
his cards for him? Phil? I

353
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,359
mean what, that's probably the best
chance. That's his phone. He has

354
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,039
his phone in his face right now. Look at him. He's on the

355
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,920
in the middle of the stage.
He hasn't one yet, Phil. No

356
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:03,160
one is allowed to go up there
other than credentialed media tournaments down and of

357
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,240
course the player credential media isn't even
allowed behind that spot because it gets into

358
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,480
cameras. But you know whatever,
It's hell. He just reached across the

359
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,279
table to give a fist bump to
the other player who's playing Mike heads up.

360
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:18,200
He just shrugged Mike Masso's hand to
look like Masson Rickie is his opponent.

361
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,200
I mean, he gave it a
little fist bump because he's like,

362
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,119
you know, I know I'm interrupting
this whole thing because I'm Phil Halmy,

363
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,799
so I'll give you a little fist
Yeah. So, I mean, but

364
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,599
anyway, back to the seniors,
we'll kind of pay attention to what's going

365
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:34,160
on over there. But is he
going to just stand inside the rail wall,

366
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,839
plays on the rail. He has
a banner. When you have a

367
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,160
banner hanging in the horseshoe, he
can do whatever the rules. Yeah,

368
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,160
I mean, yeah you can.
I mean he's just do you over that

369
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:51,960
time when I think it was like
two thousand and eight World Series and players

370
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:56,200
in the main event all had wristbands
and you can only come in I don't

371
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,680
remember that you can only come into
the to the Amazon room during the main

372
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,079
event if you had a wristband.
Less insane, right, And I really

373
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,599
want to say it was it was
Joe Hasham, but I'm pretty sure the

374
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:08,759
security got stopped him. He goes, where's your wristband? He goes,

375
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:11,359
I don't have one, and he
goes, I can't let you in.

376
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,799
He goes, do you know who
I am? I goes no, and

377
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:17,200
I go that's my banner. I'm
pointed to his band. I swear this

378
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,559
was a Joe Hasham storry, but
maybe it's my Australian Joe Hasham. I

379
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:23,720
think is here by the way.
I saw something on his Instagram. I

380
00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:26,680
think yesterday the day before, I
wondered he played twenty five kilo. He

381
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,000
loves plo, he loves for a
lot, but I don't know. I

382
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,519
mean, how do you pass up? You know that that field Phil Henry

383
00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:34,319
I think is still on the stage, which is just like I don't even

384
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,880
know what's happening over there. I
don't at all. I don't know whatever.

385
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,599
Let's just kind of pay attention.
If anything happened crazy over there,

386
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,599
maybe we'll figure some out. Um. So the seniors event, so that

387
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,640
hand between Ron Fesh and Dan him
Milner was absolute bananas yesterday, So you

388
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,400
can find that on the PokerGO social
media accounts, you can find it on

389
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,759
the live stream from yesterday which is
archived on the Pokego YouTube channel. And

390
00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:03,640
then today you got another crazy and
when it's Lonnie Hallett versus Dan high Miller,

391
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:08,160
I mean shades of Joseph Chong verse
Jonathan Duhamel at the WSP main Event

392
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:15,000
Foul Table in twenty ten, when
Duhamel and Joe Chong get it all in

393
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,799
three handed, as like the two
biggest stacks. Duhamel has Chong covered John

394
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,839
Raisner sitting there short stacked on the
sidelines, just like, what the heck

395
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,519
is happening. I'm just gonna make
a whole bunch of money millions of dollars

396
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,920
in equity because Joe Chong decided to
go nuts with a six. Was it

397
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:33,279
a six or a seven? I
can't remember one of those same thing.

398
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Duhamel's got two queens end of the
line for Joe Chong because he's out in

399
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:41,920
third in this event. It was
it was I think I think there was

400
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,359
like one hundred and like fifty million
chips in the pot and Billy Baxter had

401
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:52,359
eighteen million, yeah and nothing.
These two just get it all in on

402
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:59,640
a Queen jack four all heart flop
with Dan high Miller has ace jack so

403
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,960
second pair, but he has the
ace of hearts. He has a flush

404
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,480
draw um Lonnie Hallett has Queen four
for top and bottom pair. It went

405
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,279
I think it went raise from Hallett, re raised from high Miller call,

406
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:15,359
then it went bet from high Miller
raise all in call, and it's just

407
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,599
like what is going on? Billy
Baxter looks like he's like in absolute shock

408
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,759
sitting on the sidelines because he's gonna
get hundreds of thousands of dollars if this,

409
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:26,079
if this hand holds, the hand
holds, High Miller's out and Billy

410
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:29,880
Baxter's just like all of a sudden
heads up, like out of nowhere.

411
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,759
I mean, he had no chips
comparative to the other two, and he's

412
00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:34,960
just heads up out of nowhere.
The whole thing was just out of control.

413
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,039
Billy Baxter. Of course, you
know I said he had no chips.

414
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,240
He wasn't really able to mount to
come back. This was Lonnie Hallett's

415
00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:47,359
tournament to lose today and a lot
of yesterday. He was yesterday for the

416
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,359
most of the day. He was
on the outer table absolutely crushing it.

417
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,880
But then when he got out to
the feature table, crushed at some more.

418
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:56,480
Is he the one that won the
big the big aces King's hand right?

419
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:02,960
He had was yes here, he
had his aces cracked by kings.

420
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,680
Then on the next hand he got
kings to queens on the very next hand.

421
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,839
That's like this whole tournament was out
of control. I'm telling you,

422
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,960
guys, And and the live streams
aren't that long because the play went so

423
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,359
fast. I'm telling you if you
want to watch some poker, rewatch this

424
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,640
stuff because it was absolutely bananas.
Of course, Tim had to catch up

425
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,480
with the legend Billy Baxter, who
was oh so close. Apologies to Lommy

426
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:30,720
hollow to an eighth goal brace well, Lommie hallowed. Afterwards, he kept

427
00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:32,880
running around saying like, can you
f and believe it? Can you?

428
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,160
What the f just happened? Like
he couldn't believe it? Yeah, he

429
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,839
couldn't believe it. So, but
afterwards Tim caught up with Billy Baxter to

430
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,240
talk about his running this event,
coming close to number eight, all that

431
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:48,400
sort of stuff. His family was
nearby watching him get heads up. His

432
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:53,799
third big it's his third biggest ASPI
score, No, it's his biggest got

433
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:56,880
it? I mean, yeah,
that makes sense. That makes sense because

434
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,759
a lot of his pretty much all
of his goal bracelets were super or whole

435
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:03,480
right. Yeah, he hasn't won
won forever. So and then the fact

436
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:08,359
that he was making a run in
this heads up in eight thousand and one

437
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,200
hundred. Can I tell you how
he sapped before we get in an interview,

438
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,920
how he sawted his career. You're
ready? First second, first,

439
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,839
first, first, six eighth first
second second. I mean, that's just

440
00:28:21,079 --> 00:28:23,960
wild, all before the nineteen ninety
The whole thing is crazy. And one

441
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:29,920
of the things a fun fact about
Billy Baxter is that if you are a

442
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,200
professional gambler, he is the one
who in the eighties won the court case

443
00:28:36,759 --> 00:28:44,319
against the US government or whatever to
allow a professional gambling to be considered an

444
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:48,160
actual job and like you can do
your taxes accordingly and all that sort of

445
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,119
stuff. He was he was the
one that went to court for that and

446
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,880
won that. Yeah, that was
Billy Baxter. Everyone has a lot to

447
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,119
thank Yeah, of course, so
he yeah, he, I mean,

448
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,039
he's proud of that as well.
So here's the interview with Billy Baxter after

449
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,559
his run in the seniors event.
Billy, congratulations on second place. Not

450
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,319
very often you get three interviews when
you finished second, but here we are

451
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:15,920
with you. Yeah, you're right. Second don't rule me much. Usually

452
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:18,920
it doesn't. This is the eleventh
time he actually heads up for a wa

453
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,279
pretty bracelet. And I want to
say, it's probably the first time that

454
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,960
your wife here, you had your
son here, you had grandkids. Right,

455
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,799
that must be a pretty good experience
by itself. Well it was.

456
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:33,680
Wouldn't it be a Billy Bax interview
without talking a little bit about lowball?

457
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:37,000
And I want to know, what
do you love about lowballs so much?

458
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:41,839
But you know what I tell you
the truth, there's a reason I never

459
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,400
entered the main event of the World
Series. I lived here for twenty something

460
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:51,519
years from seventy five. I finally
played in ninety seven when when Stewart won

461
00:29:51,559 --> 00:29:56,160
the main event, I staked him. But I also finished fourteenth a little

462
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,119
bit in that particular main event.
My first time I ever played, I

463
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:06,039
finished fourteenth. And the reason I
never played was because when I first came

464
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:11,279
here, they were playing five hundred
dollars any thousand and two blind, no

465
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,880
limit deuced to seven, no cap. Had the dunes which is where the

466
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,519
blad Joe is in with the two
owners. There was Major Riddle, sid

467
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:22,599
Wyman, the two guys, and
they were both in their seventies. And

468
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,160
I had never played, and I
saw all those old guys over there playing

469
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,519
big like that. I mean,
they wouldn't to lose a million on a

470
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:32,079
day, and it was the biggest
poker game ever. Anyway, to make

471
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:33,559
a long story short, I said, well, Sherla and played with those

472
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:37,799
old guys. I was thirty five
then, and so I started playing that.

473
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,799
Of course, Dole was in the
game, another Hall of Fame of

474
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,319
Fred Farris, Bobby Ballwin played with
us and me, and then we had

475
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:49,880
Major Riddle and sid and for dessert, we had a guy named Jimmy Shagra

476
00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:55,200
who was the biggest drug deal in
the United States at the time. He

477
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,640
lost about thirty million in the game
in about three months. That's how big

478
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,759
the game was. And I don't
know if you know who Jimmy Charger is,

479
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:07,960
but he's the guy that had the
federal judge in Dallas, Texas shot

480
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:11,400
dead on his front porch. And
Woody Harrells and the movie stars Daddy was

481
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:17,160
the hit man that they both did
Life in President and so we were put

482
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:21,119
that was the poker game most unbelievable
thing you ever saw. I mean,

483
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,519
like a typical win was a million. This is in nineteen seventy six and

484
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:30,519
seventy seven, And so I started
playing that and Dole always wanted to push

485
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,480
hold of them, which was for
his best game. So I boycotted hold

486
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,880
them. I would never even go
to the horse shoe. I don't know.

487
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,960
I might have won the main eventable
a few times maybe if I had.

488
00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:42,960
I didn't play for twenty five years
when I was at my best.

489
00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:47,279
Yeah, but because I didn't want
to get it started. Because the guy

490
00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:49,559
I'm playing with, the owners of
the dunes, why would want to encourage

491
00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:52,160
hold them. So I wouldn't even
go to the horse Shoe doing the World

492
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,759
Series for the main event. I
only to go down for the low ball

493
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:57,599
game. Talking about praceles, you
two have seven. Your wife mentioned your

494
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:01,480
first one was a stark silver plate. Now I'm wondering. You touched on

495
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:04,599
a little bit about you know,
taking some time off and I'll play and

496
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,720
hold them. Do you ever look
back and think, man if I played

497
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:09,680
more, if I played hold them
back in the eighties nineties, maybe I'd

498
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,359
have ten fifteen races. Who honest, I don't want ever say that,

499
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,319
but I often thought exactly what you
said. Other words, I never played.

500
00:32:17,759 --> 00:32:22,519
I mean, and that's when I
was thirty five in playing my very

501
00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:25,400
best, but I wouldn't play the
main event. But finally, when the

502
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,839
first time I ever played, it
was ninety four, now I was fifty

503
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,160
something. Yeah, I came in
fourteenth then, So who knows what would

504
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,400
have happened. It's not easy to
win, but you might be right.

505
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,640
I might have want to call.
I want to get your thoughts on the

506
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Hall of Fame. You're inducted with
TJ. A few years ago now,

507
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:43,160
when they were doing two. Now
they're just putting one a year in.

508
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Do you think maybe we need to
go back to putting two people in the

509
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:52,680
Hall of Fame each, Yell,
you know, if you had more people

510
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,440
that were qualified for it, I
would say, as it was as if

511
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,039
the ones that are really qualified,
yeah, they should get in. If

512
00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:00,920
it takes putting into who at the
time, I'm not against that, but

513
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,759
I like to go buy Dolls Old
saying, a lot of people sometimes they

514
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:08,680
get put up because they won a
few tournaments. Doll always, when people

515
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:14,559
like yourself ask him that same question, he always had the same as they

516
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:16,400
came around, asked him about phil
Ivy, and we know he's a great

517
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,880
player. They said, this new
kid come around and phil Ivey, what

518
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,839
do you think about him? Doll
And he says, well, they say

519
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,000
he's pretty good, he says,
but check back with me in twenty years

520
00:33:27,079 --> 00:33:30,799
and I we'll see how he passes
the test of time. Yeah, so

521
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:36,039
that would be pretty much. You
know, there's a different criteria, Dolls.

522
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,440
The idea, which I thought was
good, was like you played high,

523
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,640
you're won, and your last a
long time, and so a lot

524
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,839
of people that are put up for
it never played high and I don't know

525
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,359
the rest. Yeah, last question
for me, just coming back to the

526
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,200
loveball real quick. I think he
won the second. Earl Limitt used to

527
00:33:55,279 --> 00:34:00,480
five love ball pray. Next year
they introduced a jarko tell me about Can

528
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:02,279
you tell me why the drucker came
in? I don't know, but I

529
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:07,839
don't like the joker, but it
just kind of puts a little too much

530
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,440
value on a card with whoever happens
to get that. So but I mean

531
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,440
it's okay, everybody's got the same
chance to catch it. I don't even

532
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,800
think they have the draw ace to
five anymore, do I went you know,

533
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,800
that was the only game in California
at one time. It was called

534
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,559
California lowbo and the state law was
you could only play ace to the five

535
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,039
because it was the only game of
skill. That was the law in California

536
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:35,320
for many many years. If you
were playing something else, they might take

537
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,840
you to jail. Now, I
don't know what's happening. Mike Mouse.

538
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:44,880
I was flying on on his scooter, camera running. Phil Helmy is running

539
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:50,719
behind him. This guy guy is
running next to Helmuth to get a selfie.

540
00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:53,079
I mean, this is just it's
just wild. Where does Helmy stay

541
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:57,679
when he's out here? Did you
stay here? The nine iri? I'm

542
00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:00,400
guessing. I mean just he has
a he has a room, you're not

543
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,480
he has one on this side.
Yeah, of course, I mean that

544
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:09,159
makes sense, all right. Fifty
hundred all millionaire maker looks like forty players,

545
00:35:09,159 --> 00:35:13,960
forty one something like that. Forty
one players from a field. We

546
00:35:14,039 --> 00:35:17,440
talked about this before, a field
of ten thousand, four hundred and sixteen

547
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:24,079
entries. The largest millionaire maker in
dubsp history, the largest fifteen hundred dollar

548
00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:30,599
buy in poker tournament in dubesp history. The payouts are a little bit wacky.

549
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,320
Okay, we haven't talked about this
yet, but the payouts are for

550
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,480
sure whacky. So first place is
one point two million, second place is

551
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:42,480
one million. It's one million,
two hundred and one thousand for first place,

552
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,719
it's one million, three thousand for
second place, and then third place

553
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,079
is six hundred and fifty thousand.
I mean, I don't know where they

554
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:51,519
got these payouts from, but this
is whack the magic the magic payouts.

555
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:57,159
Man. Yeah, but like I
think I think our guy Sam Cosby like

556
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,440
put this into chat GPT and it's
spit out amazing, except that everyone just

557
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,800
got that money back for the lower
pays. Yeah, well we could adjust

558
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,320
that. I mean, we can
fix that. I mean, but this

559
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,119
is just this is this is wackiness. And then if you look at I

560
00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:12,280
mean, that's that's the top of
the payout ladder board. If you look

561
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,039
at the bottom, it's wacky too, because it goes like it's like a

562
00:36:15,079 --> 00:36:17,079
jump of like two hundred dollars,
then a jump of like three forty,

563
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,199
then a jump of like two forty. Like it's like goes, I don't

564
00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:24,079
know what's happening. They're down to
forty one players. There's a whole crap

565
00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:30,159
ton of chips all over the place
in this thing. The chip leader Andreas

566
00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:34,880
Knep aka Ryo, Yeah, is
what he goes by. Nineteen point six

567
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,679
million champion Douglas is still in what
is this field? He's got sixteen point

568
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:45,199
six million Pavel Pavel PLUSOV champion,
Yeah, and I think he crushes online

569
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:47,199
as well, thirteen point nine million. Benny Chen's in there. Eric Lingren

570
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,440
is still in you already mentioned earlier. Ian Mataukas is already is still front

571
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:59,679
runner now maybe ye Roberto Romanello like
just decided to like appear in the tournament.

572
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,480
Harn my turn is back and crushing
a former EPT channel. Yeah he

573
00:37:05,519 --> 00:37:07,079
did. Yeah, I mean I
saw like I last year, but you

574
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:09,320
know, I hadn't seen him in
a while when I saw him last year,

575
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,440
and now he's back this year crushing
again in another massive field. Blair

576
00:37:13,679 --> 00:37:17,400
Hankel, Yeah, is out there, David Odb Baker is out there.

577
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:22,840
Odb Baker last night got a bit
of good fortune um when he got when

578
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,679
he had Ace King and I forget
what the other guy had, but he

579
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,119
hit Broadway on the River to win
a big pot um and then you know

580
00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:34,719
has done well today making day four
I believe it is in this event.

581
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,599
So what are they guaranteed? The
imprizement has to be like forty thousand,

582
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,559
right, I mean this is like
massive, ten thousand, four hundred runners

583
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:45,880
in this tournam forty thousand and thirty
six five seven, six thirty six.

584
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:51,440
Yeah, I mean that's just wild. So because of this tournament being so

585
00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:55,519
great, we made some adjustments to
the Poker Grow streaming schedule. Yeah.

00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:37,679
field as well. I'm sure the
play is going to be a lot of

597
00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:40,679
fun in this one, so I'm
really looking forward to it. Happy that

598
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,639
we were able to move those puzzle
pieces around mostly Tim over there, he's

599
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:47,880
the one who does all the puzzle
piece moving and get this done. So

600
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,960
two pm on Tuesday on the poker
Go YouTube channel, Ramco and I are

601
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,400
going to be on the call for
Day four of the Millionaire Maker, and

602
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,719
then Wednesday we'll also have the Millionaire
Maker. We'll have the inclusion of it.

603
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,559
Time is tbd. We'll figure it
out depending on how long they played

604
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:07,480
tomorrow and then we'll adjust things accordingly. But next two days on the Pokegrow

605
00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:13,480
YouTube channel you can check out the
Millionaire Maker conclusion fifteen hundred dollars seven card

606
00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:15,039
stud Hillo. This is the one
that we've been, you know, yelling

607
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:21,039
about with Mike Madisow up against marsin
Hereki heads up for the one hundred and

608
00:39:21,039 --> 00:39:24,079
fifty five thousand dollars first place prize
and of course the World Series of Poke

609
00:39:24,119 --> 00:39:30,199
Gugi bracelet. So I guess if
you were nominated for the Hall of Fame,

610
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,199
you're just gonna win a bracelet?
Is that how this is kind of

611
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:35,719
going? Jeremy Osmas did it,
Brian Rast did it? Now it looks

612
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,159
like Mike Madisow, at least he's
heads up, has a chance to do

613
00:39:37,199 --> 00:39:40,360
it. If Mike Madisow, you
know, comes from behind, he's currently

614
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,159
you know, a little bit of
a four to one chip disadvantage. I

615
00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:49,400
think that means Norman Chad's gonna win
a bracelet as well, and Mass Savage.

616
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,519
Can we really leave in a world
when Norman Chad and Mats Savage of

617
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,440
WSP bracelets? I don't think I
can. I mean, but if we

618
00:39:58,519 --> 00:40:00,159
follow what's going on this year,
then they're a lot. No, Norman,

619
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:04,039
she has not gonna win Embrace.
It's just not happening. Sorry,

620
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,719
I mean, I don't know what
they want me to tell you this fifteen

621
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,719
hundred dollars seven card stud Highlow Event, five hundred and sixty six entries.

622
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,239
Is that a record has to be
It feels like I feel like it has

623
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,119
to be a record. I mean, I've not done research on that one.

624
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,599
I mean, just it's twenty twenty
three. Yet some of these low

625
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:21,800
limit mixed games are more popular than
ever, which is just absolutely wild.

626
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,920
Oh it's great, of course,
but yeah, Brian Rast made the final

627
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,360
table in this event. Speaking of
Brian Rast makes the final table, he

628
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,400
goes out in seventh place, Chris
George finished eighth, and Coo Sachow like

629
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:37,480
a flex took ninth place in this
one. Um again, that's a Mike

630
00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:40,440
mattisou is currently heads up versus Marson
he Reki. They're on break right now,

631
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,840
so we're likely not going to finish
this while it's on the podcast,

632
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:53,920
and then we'll talk about it Haunt
the next show, the twenty five thousand

633
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,519
dollars pot limon Omaha High Roller.
I got a lot of stuff to say

634
00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:04,880
about this event. I mean an
event four hundred and forty nine entries.

635
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:13,079
To put that into context, last
year this tournament had two hundred and sixty

636
00:41:13,159 --> 00:41:20,800
four that is in insane number.
And then what did the what did the

637
00:41:21,039 --> 00:41:24,840
twenty five K no limit hold them
twenty five k higher? So this is

638
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:30,519
this is a twenty five K PLO
eight handed. The twenty five K no

639
00:41:30,679 --> 00:41:32,639
limit hold him eight handed? That
was the one that was won by Isaac

640
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:38,280
Haxton Um kind of towards the beginning
of the No. Three hundred and one

641
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:44,559
entries total, that's the six handed
one. Yeah, I'm looking at the

642
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:49,960
one that's more apples to apples,
three hundred one entries. The PLO twenty

643
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:57,000
five K got four forty nine,
one hundred and forty eight more entries than

644
00:41:57,199 --> 00:42:00,280
that no limit hold them one.
I mean that is just freaking wild.

645
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:05,840
Comparing it to last year's twenty five
kpolo event, same structure. You know,

646
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,599
some people were asking me earlier today
when we were talking about the numbers,

647
00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:10,679
they said, well, was last
year also two re entries? Yes,

648
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,719
it was, okay, So that's
you know, closer to the comparison.

649
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,960
Now, the twenty five K Nolan
hold them eight hand that we just

650
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:22,360
referenced the one that Isaac Haxton one
was only one reentry. Okay, so

651
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:27,440
a little bit different there because those
guys likely to fire a couple more rantries

652
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,519
in there and at least close the
gap, if not surpassed what we saw

653
00:42:30,559 --> 00:42:36,639
in the high roller. But nevertheless, I mean this freaking twenty five KPL

654
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,360
high roller is just out of control. Okay. Two point two nine four

655
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,960
almost two point three million dollars for
first place in this tournament, if you

656
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,280
can believe it, that is wild. Second place is what also a million

657
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,039
some one point four yeah, and
then third place is like just shy of

658
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:55,760
a million. It's like nine hundred
and eighty five k or something, So

659
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:02,559
just absolutely wild. Danny hannahwa eliminated
on the money bubble. The money bubble

660
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,719
was pretty wild over there. Um. A lot of people were all on

661
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,000
on kind of different tables. The
money bubble took a while. Chance Corner

662
00:43:09,079 --> 00:43:12,760
said that he was loving it because
he was the chip leader, and if

663
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,559
not one of you know, the
summer of chance just continues. You got

664
00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:17,840
Ben Lamb is over there crushing it
as one of the big stacks. Dylan

665
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:22,599
Wiseman, Dan Zach Chance Corneth who
we just mentioned, Isaac Haxton, who

666
00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:25,320
we've just talked about because he won
the twenty five Kate Noleman hold him high

667
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,880
roll or eight handed. He's also
still there. Sam's overall doing it for

668
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:36,039
our fantasy team. Is over there, Kakwan law Yury Zebleski, Yannie yukiman

669
00:43:36,159 --> 00:43:40,840
In, Jeremy Osmas, Brandon Adams. I mean the names are just wild.

670
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:47,599
I think was over there one part
the money, yeah, I mean

671
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,280
yeah, there's lots of crushes.
I mean the whole thing. It's just

672
00:43:51,679 --> 00:43:53,960
Dash Dudley was in there to carry
kats, make it into the money.

673
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,400
I'm guessing it kids carry he's making
well, he was all he was.

674
00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:02,400
He moved his chips in. What
did he have he had acess this carry

675
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,000
cat. Yes, So I mean
this thing is gonna be wild. So

676
00:44:06,119 --> 00:44:09,880
the plan is to stream the final
table of this one on Wednesday. Stay

677
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,800
tuned to schedule changes because with how
big this field is, maybe it gets

678
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,760
bumped today. I don't know,
it's down to forty nine, okay,

679
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:22,559
so then we finish with low forties, get down at seventh. That's that's

680
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,400
news because this you know, I
mean, so such your timers or schedules,

681
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,880
calendars, whatever it is for Wednesday, because this one will be streaming

682
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,440
on Poker Growl and it is absolutely
wild. I mean the PLO stuff.

683
00:44:36,639 --> 00:44:40,639
I mean, I think that this
this event is like I also look at

684
00:44:40,679 --> 00:44:45,960
it kind of bigger picture. We
obviously did the first ever PGTPLO Series um

685
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,400
in what March February? I can't
remember one of those one of those months.

686
00:44:52,679 --> 00:44:55,840
It was awesome at the studio.
Okay, um, we have the

687
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,679
second one is gonna be coming up
in October and I think it's October eighteenth

688
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:07,000
through twenty eighth. It's ten events. There will be a twenty five thousand

689
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,760
dollars championship bonus, just like there
was last time. That was the championship

690
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,119
bonus that Lataro Guerra won for he
won three events, he had seven hundred

691
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:19,480
and seventy four points, blew everyone
else out of the water to become the

692
00:45:19,639 --> 00:45:22,280
PLO Series champion. So we're gonna
be running it back a lot of fun

693
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:27,360
stuff. Of course, there is
the twenty five k PLO Championship event as

694
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,280
part of that series. If you're
interested in that series, PGT dot Com

695
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:37,280
will have the details. Okay.
Now, one of the reasons why I

696
00:45:37,559 --> 00:45:43,639
think, you know, these PLO
tournaments always seem to draw really well,

697
00:45:44,559 --> 00:45:49,320
it's just that there's the PLO players. They don't have a lot all year

698
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,719
round correctly, you know, like
they have obviously, you know a handful

699
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,360
of events at the World Series of
Poker, Like they just had the ten

700
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,159
KPLO Championship, which had a record
setting field seven thirty one entries, incredible

701
00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:04,719
turn out there. They have this
tournament absolutely massive, four and forty nine

702
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,960
entries. They still have a fifty
k PLO high Roller coming up. I'm

703
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:12,360
guessing that's just gonna be insane,
right, I mean it's probably gonna it's

704
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,440
probably gonna be a three million dollars
first place prize, I mean, isn't

705
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,639
it at this right? Yeah,
I mean it's gonna be wild. I

706
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,039
mean it's gonna be bananas like.
And I feel like everyone everyone that was

707
00:46:22,119 --> 00:46:25,239
like, you know what, I'm
gonna sell to play the twenty five k,

708
00:46:25,599 --> 00:46:28,320
I feel like, are now gonna
be like, I gotta sell to

709
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,199
play the fifty k. Let's they
see those numbers stop going out. Yeah,

710
00:46:31,519 --> 00:46:35,280
yeah, I think it's absolutely wild, you know, I think it's

711
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,199
time that, you know, someone
like a World Poker Tour comes out and

712
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:45,079
does a WPT main Tour event as
PLO. I think it's idea why the

713
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:52,280
WPT has a good long twenty year
history of it's more than twenty year.

714
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,039
Oh yes, it is more than
twenty. My math is a record of

715
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,880
non limit holed in main events.
Who cares? I just keep it that

716
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,000
way. You can do some fun
stuff. Yeah, just added to the

717
00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:04,960
series. Doesn't need to be part
of the main too. The WPT PLO

718
00:47:05,159 --> 00:47:07,920
Championship, that's what needs to happen. Unlike it. It has to be

719
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,920
a ten k buying that yes,
you likely do it at the win in

720
00:47:13,079 --> 00:47:16,599
December as part of that you know, behemoth of a series. Okay,

721
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:22,559
and then that's that's your one every
single year. And if it's a ten

722
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:27,400
k, you could probably even make
it a fifteen k just because that's another

723
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,960
thing about the PLO guys. They
like higher buying, like the bigger the

724
00:47:31,079 --> 00:47:36,199
better, like that, like these
these guys that play like obviously you get

725
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:37,000
a lot of the guys that,
like we just mentioned, you know,

726
00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:40,559
the Ben Lambs, Dylan Wiseman,
Chance Corneth, Sam Silbrol you know,

727
00:47:40,639 --> 00:47:44,599
et cetera, et cetera. The
fins are all all out all that sort

728
00:47:44,639 --> 00:47:46,280
of stuff. You know you're gonna
get those guys. But then like the

729
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:51,920
unknowns that are in the field,
you can tell are just like high stakes

730
00:47:52,079 --> 00:47:58,239
PLO cash game guys you know that
come out for like their shot and like

731
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,599
a ten k, twenty five K
or k or all of them, you

732
00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:05,760
know. So that's why I think
if you're like a World Poker tour,

733
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,599
you look at this and you say, yes, like it's time, let's

734
00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:10,159
do it, and they could do
I think they could do a ten k,

735
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:15,119
and I think they could probably get
three fifty to five hundred runners easy

736
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:21,960
easy, easy, slap a nice
fat guarantee on that thing and here we

737
00:48:22,519 --> 00:48:27,559
go. But I also think that
come pgt PO series who might need a

738
00:48:27,599 --> 00:48:32,199
bigger studio because these numbers are absolutely
out. I know, it's awesome.

739
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,840
Though it's awesome, I think the
loud cheers that we're hearing are mattis how

740
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,440
they have to be. They're coming
from that side of the table. Maybe

741
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,840
he just scooped a pot. Maybe
he took a scoop a pot. So

742
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,679
that's the twenty five PLO high roller
that is of course going to be streamed

743
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,920
on Poker Go on Wednesday. All
right. The five hundred dollars salute to

744
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:57,199
Warriors. Another absolutely gigantic field here
at the World Series of Poker. This

745
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,440
one had a five hundred dollar buying, had four thousand and three one hundred

746
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,559
and three entries, almost two hundred
and eighteen thousand dollars for first place.

747
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,079
They are getting close to two tables
remaining. They just had the three table

748
00:49:08,159 --> 00:49:13,119
rejaw. Looks like there's about nineteen
or twenty players left, so yeah,

749
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:15,960
this one's playing out very nicely.
More than one hundred and seventy two thousand

750
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:22,280
dollars was donated to the United States
sorry, the United Service Organizations, so

751
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:27,760
the USO and other veteran organizations.
That is absolutely incredible. So you know,

752
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,559
good on the WSP for partnering with
the USO and other veteran organizations for

753
00:49:31,679 --> 00:49:37,559
that one. A boatload of money
is going to those causes. The three

754
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:42,039
thousand dollars limit hold them six handed, two hundred and sixty three entries.

755
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,960
There's about twenty three remaining, or
so four tables. More than one hundred

756
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:52,719
and sixty five thousand dollars for first
place, three timesp goal Obracter winner.

757
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,239
David Bach the gun Slinger. He's
on our fantasy team, Babe, Let's

758
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,920
go. He's second in chips.
Let's go, David, Let's go.

759
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,880
Saw him walk into his room the
other night. He had two pizza boxes

760
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,440
in his hand. My kind of
man, my cat. He's fueled up.

761
00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:12,440
He is fueled up and ready to
go. David. If you're listening,

762
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:15,639
you need a pizza recommendation, let
me know, Okay, let me

763
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:19,320
know. He's definitely not listening.
I don't know, man, he wears

764
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:25,559
headphones. The funniest thing, The
funniest thing like watching David Bock play,

765
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:30,280
but also like if I was at
the table specific most specifically right next to

766
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,039
him, what would tilt the living
half out of me? Is he has

767
00:50:34,119 --> 00:50:38,559
his chips like a whole footy,
like to his left, like basically in

768
00:50:38,679 --> 00:50:42,920
the other person's space. Like it
works in this tournament because it's six handed.

769
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,360
Whatever doesn't matter. But like,
if you're at a nine handed tables

770
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:50,199
playing like stot high something, bro, get this crap? I wonder what

771
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,320
are you doing? Yeah? If
he was sitting in the five state of

772
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,960
the full state, good luck,
but yeah, you know. I had

773
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:00,159
a guy today in my three K
table who was to my left. We

774
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,760
were like shorthanded. To start,
we were six somebody somebody busted we got

775
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,480
down to five. Then you know, the table starts filling up or seven,

776
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:10,119
we're eight. The five seat was
open when we were eight handed,

777
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:15,159
five seat comes okay, so now
we're nine handed. So I'm in the

778
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:20,679
sixth seats, so I adjust myself
probably two inches to the left because the

779
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,159
five seats got to get in and
sit down. Yeah, and I Angela

780
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,599
Jordanson was in the four seat and
she was like, we were kind of

781
00:51:25,679 --> 00:51:28,960
close to the five seat because there
was no one in the five seats,

782
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,519
so we both moved. The guy
to my left like a smaller gentleman,

783
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,480
not big in it by any means, Like it's like, what are you

784
00:51:37,559 --> 00:51:38,239
doing. I'm like, what do
you? What do you? I'm like,

785
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,440
he's got to sit down, Like
he's like make them square up,

786
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,239
and he's like pointing to the one
in the two seat, and I'm like

787
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,599
this guy, mind you. Tim
is like sprawled the f out of the

788
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:52,000
table, like he's like leaning over
the table elbows out, foot is all.

789
00:51:52,119 --> 00:51:54,119
I'm like, dude, if you
just sat up straight. You're like

790
00:51:54,199 --> 00:51:57,599
half my size. Just sit up
straight and we'll be fine. Like,

791
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,280
I'm what what it was wrong with
these people? Anyway? Event of the

792
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:06,000
day right there, Huh, that's
Donnie's event of the day. Well,

793
00:52:06,039 --> 00:52:09,920
the guy who took the five seat
was beyond tilting. Beyond tilting. I

794
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:17,239
mean this guy was like he immediately
sat down and started talking about how he's

795
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,159
optimized his sleep and this and that, and like how he eats now and

796
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,840
he's gone vegan and like you know, all this sort of stuff and how

797
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,119
he wants the World Series of Poker
to go on as long as possible because

798
00:52:31,159 --> 00:52:35,519
he believes the longer goes on,
the more his edge just goes up and

799
00:52:35,639 --> 00:52:37,119
up and up. And I was
like, oh my, can you just

800
00:52:37,159 --> 00:52:40,800
feel no. He he like was
kind of just talking to himself, like

801
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:45,400
he he wasn't prompted in any of
this. Like he knew one guy at

802
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,440
the table kind of because they had
played before, so he like said hello

803
00:52:47,519 --> 00:52:51,440
to him or whatever, and then
he would just launch into these things and

804
00:52:51,559 --> 00:52:54,199
I'm like, what are you even
talking about? And then he would like,

805
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,440
you know, somebody would play a
hand. He would start commenting on

806
00:52:57,519 --> 00:53:00,960
the hand and like this whole thing. I'm like, oh my, leave

807
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,719
me alone. Three thousand dollars,
lemon hold him? Uh six handed?

808
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,880
David Box second and chips. As
we talked about, Tommy Coral's over there,

809
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,199
still kicking Nick Pepillo, who just
want a bracelet? Not too long

810
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,920
ago, this this summer, he's
over there still Dan Shack. Also the

811
00:53:19,039 --> 00:53:22,880
summer of Dan Shack. He's doing
well over there as well. Oh he's

812
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,760
in the top time PGT hat and
the polka goes him in the hallway absolutely

813
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,920
bull rushing people, is running them
over. Knocked that lady right over.

814
00:53:31,559 --> 00:53:36,360
Oh man, he didn't really knock, right, I mean something out of

815
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,679
a hand, Yeah, I mean
it was just he's just Dan Shack.

816
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,840
He's on his phone, he's not
paying attention. You're trying to put in

817
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,320
some trading. Yeah, probably he's
trying. You know, he's gotta get

818
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,400
things ready for the market to open
tomorrow. Yeah, um, all right,

819
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,000
and underway today the three thousand dollars, no woman, hold him,

820
00:53:49,039 --> 00:53:52,679
freeze out. I played that.
I busted that. That was not fun.

821
00:53:52,039 --> 00:53:58,079
I played like an absolute baby.
The first hand lost my chips handle

822
00:53:58,119 --> 00:54:01,239
a. Joryson got me. Then
I rana bluff against some guy who,

823
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:07,800
like I was pretty sure that like
everything was correct on my end. I

824
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,320
think I might have got the river
sizing wrong. I probably should have been

825
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:15,199
all in, but whatever, Um
that didn't work out because he had two

826
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:19,199
pair and it was just a really
dumb spot. Um. So yeah,

827
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,880
the whole thing was just a little
bit frustrating, just one of those days.

828
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,800
And then I get it all on
button versus small on ace jack for

829
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,760
me, nines for that guy,
the guy who you know was sprawled out

830
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,400
all over the table. Obviously there's
no justice in the world. He just

831
00:54:30,599 --> 00:54:34,159
wins and eliminates me so he can
get more space at the table because he

832
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,760
wasn't taking any you know exactly the
bus. That's just that's how it goes.

833
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:43,360
But big Field over there almost sixteen
hundred entries more than six hundred and

834
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,639
seventy five thousand dollars for first place. They're getting close to the money.

835
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,960
I think it's like two forty two
fifty right around there. Something like that

836
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,159
got Daniel Lazarus, Matt Burkey,
Robert Coon, Robbie Ja Lou probably playing

837
00:54:55,199 --> 00:54:59,960
in the Jack four. Ran Lynn
of course, of course ran Lynn somewhere

838
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:04,159
runs. I mean, the guy
just doesn't. Jeff Platt was over there,

839
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,199
Tony Dunce was over there. Ian
Steinman was over there. He had

840
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,159
a lot of chips and he had
a beer. So I think things are

841
00:55:10,199 --> 00:55:14,159
going well Leicester Stemon, Let's go
Ian Steiman. Of course, on our

842
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:19,199
fantasy team, you had the fifteen
hundred dollar no limit deuce to seven single

843
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,679
draw kicked off today. They're over
five hundred entries in that tournament. Really

844
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,880
fun tournament. I wish I didn't
have to miss it, but I told

845
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,159
myself, I need to be disciplined. While I'm focusing on Nolaman hold him

846
00:55:30,519 --> 00:55:35,519
can't be playing the Nolmitt Douce.
He won't even jump into two fifty horse

847
00:55:35,599 --> 00:55:37,880
with me. I won't focus.
I'm too focused. I'm too focused,

848
00:55:38,039 --> 00:55:43,639
trying to just stay focused, focused, focused. Michael Trivette and Alan Kessler

849
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,639
appeared to be among the chip leaders
at the time of recording. Of course,

850
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:51,840
you guys can check out WSAP dot
com for further updates on those events,

851
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:57,000
and we'll be talking about them as
they progress. What's coming up?

852
00:55:57,079 --> 00:56:02,119
So on Tuesday, we have the
one thousand dollars Super Seniors this is sixty

853
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:07,800
years or older. The Seniors Championship
was fifty years or older. How many

854
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:12,760
entries is this gonna get? I
think last year was like twenty four The

855
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,679
way things are gone, yeah,
I mean the way things are going,

856
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,360
I think three four thousands probably in
play. Who the heck knows? UM.

857
00:56:17,559 --> 00:56:25,760
I still think Seniors High Rollerbysically,
let's go fifteen hundred dollars half and

858
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,000
half. That's a fun tournament.
I should be able to play half of

859
00:56:30,039 --> 00:56:32,920
that. They should have a half
and a half tag team eventum half and

860
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:38,559
half um. That kicks off on
Tuesday. Also on Tuesday, ten thousand

861
00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:45,000
dollars Stud High Low Championship. Honestly, probably my most disliked tournament or something

862
00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:51,039
of the ten case. Why it's
just Stud split Pot East Coast. You

863
00:56:51,079 --> 00:56:53,840
should be love. I like playing
Stud Highlo. I'm just saying from like

864
00:56:54,079 --> 00:56:58,920
watching my past reporting, I'm just
like, yeah, Stud Hilo, I

865
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,840
could you know, I'm but obviously
it deserves be on schedule. I'm not

866
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,679
saying that. I'm just saying,
like, you know, let me know

867
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:07,800
when the final day will happens.
You have the six hundred dollar Deep Stack

868
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:12,119

playing man Imanda Darai. Are you gonna

869
00:57:12,159 --> 00:57:15,199
max late Redge? You should max
late reg Um. I haven't looked at

870
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,360
the structure for this one, so
I'm just in. This might be my

871
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:23,599
last WSP event of the summer.
Bro. You should just max late Redge.

872
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,679
It's probably better for your EV.
I don't know what's happening. Somebody's

873
00:57:28,679 --> 00:57:30,440
winning something. An update mattis I
was down five to one in chips,

874
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,360
so I'm not sure what that sharing
is fall probably the other guy. Do

875
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,320
you have the five thousand dollars Nolan

876

00:57:44,239 --> 00:57:45,719
in that? Yeah? Of course
jump in. Actually, now you don't

879
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,719
commentary of the Millimacro final. Yeah, I gotta do the comments first,

880
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,360
pretending how quick that goes? You
could max late Redge. I could,

881
00:57:52,599 --> 00:57:55,360
Yeah, that'd be good. We'll
see how that quickly that goes. Five

882
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,119

but whatever. One's easy. One's

892
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,400
going to be a conversation. What
is your updated number? On the Dusty

893
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,599
main event. I feel like we
have to do it daily now, just

894
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:45,920
like with these turnouts, definitely more
than anything before. I think we're gonna

895
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:51,400
go of a nine thousand. I'm
just wondering if five digits are in play,

896
00:58:51,559 --> 00:58:53,039
if I'm being honest, honestly,
I kind of feel like they are.

897
00:58:53,639 --> 00:58:55,360
I mean, I don't even know
what to say. I mean,

898
00:58:55,519 --> 00:59:00,440
why na if why I get something
insane where we should will be like fearful

899
00:59:00,719 --> 00:59:04,599
because one he's always the smallest.
That's gonna be the indication of how the

900
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:07,559
rest of the flights go. Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm gonna try

901
00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:12,559
and play and play Day one.
See I'm gonna say this right now,

902
00:59:12,679 --> 00:59:16,119
if you're thinking about playing, I
don't see how you can play Day one

903
00:59:16,199 --> 00:59:21,000
D. It's probably gonna be ten
handed. They're probably gonna be all I

904
00:59:21,079 --> 00:59:24,119
mean like and that that usually happens, or it gets close to happening every

905
00:59:24,199 --> 00:59:28,360
year because everyone waits till Day one
D. Yep, Like I would say,

906
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,639
try and play a different starting flight. And also you could also say

907
00:59:30,679 --> 00:59:36,199
that day to day will most likely
be and then you can register on the

908
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,119
day twos as well. So yeah, it's gonna be wild. I think

909
00:59:39,159 --> 00:59:43,280
it's gonna I mean, I'm my
number coming into the summer was nine.

910
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,559
I think I'm at like ninety six
right now, you know, I mean,

911
00:59:49,079 --> 00:59:52,199
a lot of it's gonna be They
still have a lot of satellites coming

912
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,840
up. Um, they obviously have
the twenty five seat scramble that's that's taking

913
00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:00,519
place are gonna take place upcoming on
WSP dot com. So they got that

914
01:00:00,199 --> 01:00:04,320
they have all those live satellites,
those megas that happened here at the World

915
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,280
Series of Poker. So I mean, I don't know last okay, the

916
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,800
biggest year ever, right, two
thousand and six. Yeah, we had

917
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:14,800
eighty seven hundred players. Yeah,
first day one this is the first time

918
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,519
ever. But Day one A two
thousand, one hundred and thirty eight players.

919
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:22,639
Then the next three days it was
four flights literally the same number.

920
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,719
You know, every other year,
there's always a massive difference. So you

921
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:30,039
know, we look at last year
when espine Day one A less than nine

922
01:00:30,199 --> 01:00:36,199
hundred, Day one D four thousand, three hundred and seventy entrants. Yeah,

923
01:00:36,239 --> 01:00:38,400
and I remember, and I remember
I played Day one C last year,

924
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:43,239
and I remember a lot of people
were they were like warning people ahead

925
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,679
of time, like Day one D
is gonna sell out, it's gonna be

926
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,079
packed, like all this sort of
stuff, like you know, you can

927
01:00:47,079 --> 01:00:51,760
adjust your starting So a lot of
people switched to Day one C because of

928
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,400
that, and there was a lot
of talk around about people that were planning

929
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:59,599
to play Day one D. They
ended up playing Day one C, which

930
01:00:59,599 --> 01:01:00,760
I think I think you'll probably see
a bit of as well. So it

931
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:06,800
kicks off on July three, So
then July fourth would be obviously Independence Day

932
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,000
here in the US, so it's
when all the Europeans will play. Yeah,

933
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,079
so if you're gonna play that day, I just want to know when

934
01:01:12,119 --> 01:01:14,360
the Brazilians are going to play.
And I don't want to play that flight

935
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:15,960
because the Brazilians are a bunch of
animals out here, and they continue to

936
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,840
eat me a light every time I
sit down, So I would like to

937
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,360
avoid the Brazilians as much as possible. I only have starts going back to

938
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,480
two thousand and six, and that
actually excludes oh seven and the online year.

939
01:01:25,519 --> 01:01:30,320
But every year but three day one
A has been the smallest, and

940
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:36,199
every year the last flight, whether
it's one s or one day, has

941
01:01:36,239 --> 01:01:39,960
always been the biggest. So take
that data and do what you want with

942
01:01:40,079 --> 01:01:44,360
it. You know, maybe that
means you want to play one A.

943
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:47,239
Maybe that means you want to play
one day. If we're talking about day

944
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:54,000
two entrants, don't have them right
currently for last year, but still getting

945
01:01:54,239 --> 01:02:00,199
a decent amount of you know,
Day one like day two entrant. So

946
01:02:00,119 --> 01:02:04,199
yeah, you know, I mean
it's gonna be It's gonna be wild,

947
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,000
it really is. I mean,
I can't imagine it's not a record setter,

948
01:02:08,239 --> 01:02:12,599
like I just can't see that happening. And then it's from there,

949
01:02:12,639 --> 01:02:14,880
it's you know, how big is
it going to be? If one I

950
01:02:15,079 --> 01:02:21,440
has, you know, anywhere around
twelve hundred, I think it's it's we're

951
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,400
gonna be flooding with ten thousand.
Yeah, and then I just want to

952
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:28,599
quickly touch on one thing before I
ask you my next question. But we

953
01:02:28,719 --> 01:02:31,440
did have, jesse Porter wrote in. He asked a question. Oh yes,

954
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:36,079
so, he said. Jesse Porter
wrote into podcast app poker grow dot

955
01:02:36,079 --> 01:02:37,559
com. If you have any questions
that are burning up, you can send

956
01:02:37,639 --> 01:02:39,480
him in. We'll answer them,
maybe we'll read them on the show,

957
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,639
and you know, we can help
out some people. But Jesse said,

958
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,519
this year will be my first time
playing the main event. Let's go,

959
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:50,679
Jesse. He said, I'm curious
what time play usually stops every day.

960
01:02:51,159 --> 01:02:54,280
That might be some valuable info for
other listeners as well. Tim responded said,

961
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:59,480
if there are no delays, the
schedule calls for a twelve fifteen am

962
01:03:00,079 --> 01:03:01,800
finished time. But once you add
the shuffle up and deal, you know,

963
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,519
especially on the day, once you
know they'd like to do, like

964
01:03:06,559 --> 01:03:08,159
Lisa vander Pomp, or this person
or you know that sort of stuff,

965
01:03:08,199 --> 01:03:12,840
so they make a big thing of
it, understandably so and then the final

966
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,360
few hands countdown can take a little
bit. So twelve thirty, twelve forty

967
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:19,960
five in that range. Um,
I would guess you're for sure out of

968
01:03:20,039 --> 01:03:22,079
here by one am, Like that's
probably safe, just to say. I

969
01:03:22,159 --> 01:03:24,639
mean, there might be some delays
here and there that kick things forward,

970
01:03:24,719 --> 01:03:29,480
but you know, overall between twelve
and one, give or take a little

971
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:30,840
bit, you know, so that's
what you should plan for. So,

972
01:03:31,119 --> 01:03:36,320
UM, I would say, bring
a water bottle for sure. There are

973
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,119
like water dispensers jugs around the rooms, so bring a water bottle so you

974
01:03:40,159 --> 01:03:45,800
can stay hydrated. Probably bring a
like a power pack or a charger for

975
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:50,039
your phone, a portable one that
you can have. And then bring a

976
01:03:50,039 --> 01:03:52,280
sweatshirt because it gets kind of cold
in here at times. If you're getting

977
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:59,159
the most important thing, what's that
Bring the Lucky podcast if you have.

978
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:00,320
I don't, I mean, we're
we're already out of him, so I

979
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,239
can't, you know, I mean, I don't know how many more people

980
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,039
can have any hats by the time
we're done. At least fifty people that

981
01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:08,400
are lucky out man. Yeah,
okay, all right, So Jesse,

982
01:04:08,599 --> 01:04:11,360
thank you for writing in. Um. I know Tim responded to you via

983
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,639
email, but you know, we
wanted to share that with the people out

984
01:04:13,639 --> 01:04:15,159
there. And my next question to
you, Tim, it's something we've talked

985
01:04:15,199 --> 01:04:17,400
about off the air, but we're
gonna bring it on the air. Here

986
01:04:17,519 --> 01:04:21,039
is I'm playing the three Kid today
Anthony who walks by and he says,

987
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,960
so, are you gonna quit if
you win? Yeah? I'll start laughing.

988
01:04:26,159 --> 01:04:28,079
He's like, what do you mean
it's gonna be seven hundred ky for

989
01:04:28,119 --> 01:04:30,079
first place? It's six hundred seventy
five thousand, you know, so yeah,

990
01:04:30,119 --> 01:04:32,320
he was pretty much right. I
said, what am I gonna do

991
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,199
with that? No? Nothing?
That is like no, I mean listen,

992
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:40,239
that's a crap ton of money that
isn't quit my job and like go

993
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,800
set on a beach money. Yeah, I mean that's like, yeah,

994
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,400
I'm gonna pay off my investors,
you know what. That's like twenty percent

995
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,159
then the other money. So then
I sam, then I have eighty percent

996
01:04:50,239 --> 01:04:54,639
of myself, of which thirty percent
of that is going to taxes. Okay,

997
01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,239
then like what pay off my house? Like take care of like some

998
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:01,960
bills or like you know, put
a new fireplace in the house. I

999
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,159
don't fucking know, like stuff like
that. And it's like then I have

1000
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,840
no money back to zero, you
know, put some money away for like

1001
01:05:09,039 --> 01:05:12,519
my kids and like you know,
like a money and like their college phone

1002
01:05:12,599 --> 01:05:14,760
or something I don't know, And
the next thing, you know, it's

1003
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,119
like I got nothing. So like, no, I'm not gonna quit.

1004
01:05:16,239 --> 01:05:18,920
He's like, yeah, you know, quit and play full time. Listen,

1005
01:05:19,039 --> 01:05:23,000
Anthony. You're probably not listening,
but if you are, there was

1006
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,360
nothing I would like to do less
than play poker full time. I love

1007
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:31,159
poker, I absolutely eff and love
playing it. I love studying it,

1008
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:40,639
but doing it every single day as
your job seems like it seems so miserable,

1009
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:45,880
and it's like, yeah, stressful, because like part of the reason

1010
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,480
why I'm able to play poker and
have so much faun and not feel so

1011
01:05:49,599 --> 01:05:54,360
much pressure is because it's not the
job. Yeah, it's the side job,

1012
01:05:54,639 --> 01:05:57,360
you know. Like, yes,
I still treat it, you know,

1013
01:05:58,039 --> 01:06:02,039
very disciplined, and I try to
stick to a bankroll and like study

1014
01:06:02,119 --> 01:06:06,000
a lot and all this sort of
stuff that said, like I can still

1015
01:06:06,159 --> 01:06:11,599
lose and I still know that.
Okay, I'm gonna get a paycheck,

1016
01:06:11,679 --> 01:06:13,960
I'm gonna go to work, and
I'm gonna be you know, I have

1017
01:06:14,119 --> 01:06:17,760
my money coming in. Like yeah, I mean, listen, kudos to

1018
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,039
Anthony who because he always seems super
happy, Like you see a lot of

1019
01:06:21,039 --> 01:06:25,639
these players and they look so miserable
playing every single day, especially now you're

1020
01:06:25,679 --> 01:06:28,880
getting to that point of the summer
when it's like people probably brick thirty five

1021
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:30,480
tournaments and they're probably like, what
the hell am I doing out here?

1022
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:34,480
Type of stuff. Um, Anthony, for whatever reason, he's always seemed

1023
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:38,639
to smiling like he and he I
don't think he's had a ton of results

1024
01:06:38,719 --> 01:06:42,159
this summer, so I mean,
yeah, so he just is always in

1025
01:06:42,239 --> 01:06:45,559
good spirits. But I would not
be quitting. So but my question is,

1026
01:06:45,679 --> 01:06:48,239
like what would it take, like
what sort of win? And I

1027
01:06:48,639 --> 01:06:54,000
pretty much settled on I would have
to win the dustan event, like not

1028
01:06:54,159 --> 01:06:56,679
even second place, like no,
I'd have to win it to just quit.

1029
01:06:58,519 --> 01:07:01,360
I mean working first of all,
I don't even know well, I

1030
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,920
mean, he phrases like you quit
your current jobs, like you know,

1031
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:08,199
would you quit your job? Basically? Like I mean, to be honest,

1032
01:07:08,199 --> 01:07:12,400
I don't even know if winning the
main event, I would quit my

1033
01:07:12,559 --> 01:07:15,519
job. And the reason is is
because if I'm playing the event me currently

1034
01:07:15,719 --> 01:07:18,800
in my current state, I'm not
gonna have a one hundred percent of myself.

1035
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,920
Even if I were to like win
a satellite on club GG. Yeah,

1036
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,079
but which is like basically free because
I pay the fifty dollars a month

1037
01:07:26,119 --> 01:07:28,480
and do that whole thing, right, Like, even if I did that,

1038
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,679
I would still sell action into the
main event, you know, like

1039
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,159
I would sell half myself. So
let's say I have half myself. First

1040
01:07:34,159 --> 01:07:36,400
place in the main event is what
ten million? We'll go off last year

1041
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:41,960
spine, so ten million, I
get five? Okay, then what one

1042
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,519
and a half is going to Texas? So now I got three and a

1043
01:07:44,519 --> 01:07:46,559
half million. I mean, yeah, that's a lot of money. But

1044
01:07:46,719 --> 01:07:51,000
like I like my job. Yeah, I like being in poker. I

1045
01:07:51,119 --> 01:07:53,960
like the community, I like the
people. I like what I do.

1046
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,840
I think that like getting up going
to work like gives me a purpose.

1047
01:07:58,239 --> 01:08:00,639
You know, maybe i'd go more
to let me work four days a week

1048
01:08:00,639 --> 01:08:04,000
instead of five. But other than
that, like I might just play a

1049
01:08:04,039 --> 01:08:06,599
little bit more. But yeah,
you could play a little bit more and

1050
01:08:06,639 --> 01:08:10,679
you're more comfortable when you're playing.
But like you start doing things like you

1051
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,880
pay off your house. You maybe
you get a new car, like you

1052
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,239
do this, you do that with
what we finish your pool in the backyard,

1053
01:08:17,399 --> 01:08:19,960
like you know, stuff like that, and it's like it's like there

1054
01:08:20,039 --> 01:08:24,359
goes half the way. You know
what would be nothing would be more fun

1055
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,960
than you know, let's say we
win the main event this year, one

1056
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,319
of us, and then down the
road and a couple of months Pocka mosses

1057
01:08:30,359 --> 01:08:34,000
there Anthony who's playing a hand,
you know, he bluffs the river and

1058
01:08:34,159 --> 01:08:41,800
loses to Sam Savrol. You're wearing
the main event bracelet and field reporting like

1059
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,039
doing live reporting. You got to
Anthony, guys anything, and I think

1060
01:08:45,079 --> 01:08:46,479
that was the right play there,
and then you just shake your bracelet in

1061
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,800
front of it. Like doing stuff
like that would be kind of fun.

1062
01:08:49,399 --> 01:08:53,800
Well, I would not be wearing
the bracelet problem. But yeah, I'm

1063
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:58,680
saying, like I think it would
just take a lot to quit my job.

1064
01:08:59,079 --> 01:09:00,399
You know, I don't know,
maybe I'm just being a knit to

1065
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,439
be honest. I just thought it
was an interesting question because I started thinking

1066
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:08,560
about it. I remember when I
was making that run in the WPT World

1067
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,640
Championship. Morey texted me and said, if you win or you're gonna quit

1068
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:15,119
your job. I was like,
no, I mean or. He said,

1069
01:09:15,119 --> 01:09:16,000
if you finished top three, you're
gonna quit your job, And I'm

1070
01:09:16,039 --> 01:09:19,279
like, I probably wouldn't quit my
job if I want, so, yeah,

1071
01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:24,439
I mean, and that was four
million or whatever it was for first

1072
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:29,199
place, you know. So,
I think the difference is both for you

1073
01:09:29,319 --> 01:09:31,720
and me, is we like our
jobs. Yeah. We like working with

1074
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,640
each other. I mean I do. I like working with you. Yeah.

1075
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,880
Yeah, we like what we do. We like our job, and

1076
01:09:38,279 --> 01:09:42,359
we're also kind of in a way
responsible adults where we like the paycheck.

1077
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:47,840
We like it. But also like
we've also seen how a lot of players

1078
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:56,239
who do this every single day,
ye are miserable because specific to tournament poker,

1079
01:09:57,079 --> 01:10:00,439
it can be a grind, it
can be brutal with the variants,

1080
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:04,640
like you can be playing your best
poker in the world and you can just

1081
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:10,479
be losing, losing, losing over
and over again. On the other side,

1082
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:12,560
you can play your worst poker and
you can just be winning, winning,

1083
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,640
winning. You know that That's what
variance is, and it it takes

1084
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:17,479
a lot out of you, you
know, so it's hard. You know,

1085
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,479
I would probably play a lot more
if I had a big score,

1086
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:26,039
but I probably wouldn't quit my job
as well. You know, it would

1087
01:10:26,039 --> 01:10:28,640
allow me a little bit more flexibility
and stuff. Of course, you know,

1088
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,399
the vacations would get a little bit
nicer that sort of stuff. You

1089
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,239
know. But you're probably dB I
a few more events, yeah, I

1090
01:10:33,279 --> 01:10:38,199
mean, you'd have more pieces of
yourself, you know. Also also like

1091
01:10:38,279 --> 01:10:40,760
I mean, listen, I have
no reason not to be transparent, but

1092
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,439
like when Anthony asked me that question, like I know, I don't have

1093
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,039
one hundred percent of myself. I
mean I have a good amount, you

1094
01:10:45,159 --> 01:10:47,840
know, but I don't have a
hundred. So and if I played the

1095
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,239
main event, as I just said, like I'm not gonna have a hundred

1096
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:58,279
ever, like I'm just not because
it's just not for me. Like the

1097
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,479
best the the way that I would
have the most in the main event is

1098
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:06,399
if I like somehow one like some
crazy satellite. Yeah yeah. And then

1099
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,880
but then even then I would like
because you can sell, you sell,

1100
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,319
you take some money, and you
would do I would do a lot of

1101
01:11:12,359 --> 01:11:15,399
swaps because I mean, we know, tournaments especially big ones that go on

1102
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,520
for basically two weeks. It's like
there's a lot you have to get through

1103
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,319
a lot of obstacles, you have
to avoid all that sort of stuff.

1104
01:11:23,359 --> 01:11:26,600
Crazy stuff can happen. So if
you're able to do a bunch of different

1105
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,800
swaps, you know, you have
a bunch more bullets in the chamber type

1106
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:31,560
of thing. So anyway, I
just wanted to like bring that on the

1107
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,520
air because we have been kind of
talking about it, you know, recently,

1108
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:38,000
you know, playing our events and
all that sort of stuff. Yeah,

1109
01:11:38,039 --> 01:11:40,439
it's great to like think, yeah, if I win seven or k

1110
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,640
I'll quit my job. But then
it's like when when you break it down,

1111
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,520
like it's a lot of money,
but it also can go fast,

1112
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,960
is basically what I'm saying. And
I don't want to like take away from

1113
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:57,199
the the glory of winning stuff and
how much it can do to you to

1114
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,239
do for you to win all that
money and all that sort of stuff.

1115
01:12:00,279 --> 01:12:01,840
It's all great. I just want
to kind of like bring it back to

1116
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,319
earth type of thing, you know, and kind of think about it rationally.

1117
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,479
And maybe Tim and I are just
being knits, who knows. I'm

1118
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,680
sure we'll get some messages from people
telling us we're being way too nitty,

1119
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:16,720
but yeah, I can go all
right, Well, that's gonna do it

1120
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,840
for Tim, And I appreciate you
