All right, everyone, it is time. No real special intro, no
music, nothing like that. We're just gonna get right into it. Just
arrive. The WSOP main event bubble is about to happen in the other room.
That's where I'm headed. Let's go. So you've been touted as a
man that plays for the win, but today seven big Linds five away from
the money. They give no funds whatever I've like just I've had Queen deuce
nine for every time I look at it, nothing across. I pray that
it's an ace. I look at a face card and a nothing across,
and it's a It's been at deuce every time. So no, I'm not
I'm not folding anything. When we talk about WSB stats, you know,
I like WSB stats. You've got eleven million event cashes including Europe, apac
online, all of that. Do you hold extra value for cashing in the
main event or is this something that is just like another event on the schedule.
Cashing is weak sauce, you know. I mean, I've cashed plenty.
That's not what I really want to do. I don't need the fifteen
thousand, so I'm gonna play most. I'm basically gonna play like CHIPPYV not
icm poker. I'm gonna play like if I get a hand like see the
thing is your ship leaders opening. I don't have any full equity when they
do, so I can't just play like two randoms, right, I have
to have something that's, you know, gonna be a favorite to get in.
But I'm looking to get it in. I'm not. I'm like,
I wouldn't have any shame in bubbling this thing even though we're so close.
Final question, what are your thoughts on the payoffs? They made them a
little less top heavy this year. I like them. I think they look
cleain. What are your thoughts so of all the things in tournament poker?
Like I care about structures, I care about a whole bunch of things.
Payouts is just something I give little thought to. I just don't care that
much. Whatever the masses want, I'm more than happy. You know,
pay a lot of spots flattened out. To me, it makes no difference.
But no matter what you create, people are gonna be upset. They
always are, because this is like the nature of being a pro poker player.
Just complain no matter what they do. They did all the things that
the ad people ask for flattened it out, and bah bah bah they're still
complaining. You know. All right, thank you, good luck. Have
you run that seven big mines up? It's not seven anymore, but yeah,
oh no, it's six and a half. Good luck to you.
All right, all players and dealers. This is how we're going to handle
this process. Once you have an all in and a call at your table,
I need you guys to keep your hands face down until we come over
and prompt you. Like Jack said before, we will be coming over.
I'm gonna need some help with the players around those tables, and I'm gonna
need some help from the media to allow Jack and myself to get intil we
can record history on these tables. Okay, So at this time we're gonna
deal one hand and one hand only. Then we're gonna stop. Dealers are
gonna need you guys to stand up. Players, Please remain in your seats
so we can walk around and find how many hands are a processed so we
can make sure that we get through this in a timely fashion. All Right,
dealers, deal one hand and hold up. All right, I'm here
with lawns. He's got one thousand and chips left three away from the money.
You're in the cutoff, thought, I will be voting onto the big
mine. Oh yeah, aces are good. Pull their face up. Your
two table mates up there, Kevin and Amy says, is this guy gonna
make it? And I said, I would bet my entire salary that you
can make it. Seven hands that's a lot of hands. That's a lot
of hands. There's a lot of tables and a lot of hands, so
hopefully I can make it. You start the day with forty one thousand,
now have one thousand? What can you tell us? Philistin? Though,
What's what's happened this first thirty minutes of play? The best saying I've seen
was ACE four heart. So I thought about pushing, but it didn't really
make sense. So, job, how many main events have you played cash
before? No made at the end of day two last time? So do
you think this cash means more to you than the actual like the money?
Or is it bast sighting I've cashed the main event? It's boss saying I
cashed the hand for hand play has commenced eighty minutes on the clock. Clocks
paused. Of course, guys coming, I gotta get it fifteen hundred twenty
players remained fifteen seventeen paid. Sounds like they got two all in and calls
going down right now. I just saw Jack Affel, Charlie Sarraci getting in
there. There was a massive amount of people around table five point thirty seven
in the orange section, cameras everywhere. Of course, you know, players
are supposed to stay in their seats, but they're not. How can you
blame them? Really? One of the players I was over there for a
second was Julian bognandov Or bogged it off, probably butchered that. But and
the best man in set of eights versus a flush shraw. It sounds like
no flush shaw. Yet I'm still looking for a club that doesn't pay the
board double up the first hand of two on the first hand of hand for
hand play. And now the giant mass of people, media, tournament directors,
probably some spectators snuck in here, players of course stampeding on over to
five forty one. Also in the orange section, just just a couple of
tables over per Jack Apple's announcement, only two all in hands on this hand
of hand fan play firsthand. Let's see if we can hear what's going down.
This is pre flop ace King off versus Kings. Kings are in the
lead, but kings are the shorter stack, so in ace or Broadway,
maybe a flush could knock him out. So the ace king has made Broadway
here, all right, Ace King cracks Kings. We have one elimination on
the first hand of hand for ham play, so one player's out. Clock's
gonna go down to fifteen nineteen, two players off the money. All right,
Jesse Lonis are on the bubble the WSB main event. You just take
them to the streets. What are you doing? Yeah? I woke up
today and anytime I buy a new hoodie, I play really aggressive. And
I was telling my cousin that and a ride down that I'm probably gonna either
be out or have a lot of chips because I bought a new hoodie.
So that's my randomizer, and it worked out. New hoodie worked out,
So I'm glad that I'm glad that I got the hoodie. Obviously, clearly
you're in accumulation mode here on the bubble. Do you want the bubble to
last as long as possible? Yeah? Of course. Now before I was
like whatever didn't matter, But now it's going good, and I think I
could win more of the hands than not. So yeah, right now I
would like to keep going for a few more hands for sure. How you
feeling overall about where you're at your positioning? You've basically doubled your stack without
really having to do much. Yeah, well I had to do a lot.
Well, I mean like you didn't get it all in, you know,
you shoved but didn't get calm. Yes, I feel great obviously,
Day four the main event, the best tournament of the year, and you
know, I just want to go deep in. This is the tournament.
So yeah, feel good. Secondhand of hand for hand play here four all
in and calls four. They are two off the money. Fifteen nineteen players
were in fifteen hundred and seventeen are pain so could burst the bubble here,
headed over to the sorry headed over to the blue section of the room.
Table four sixteen, position, five and seven seed are all in. The
five seed has the seven seed cover you know, yeah, just five tries
to get a neil in my feet too. I feel so they infused it
the launge right there and I'm like, he's still in. Yeah, I'm
just pissed right now because let me read the boards. You guys, three
o'clock on the board, you both seven at risk. Looks like we have
a set of jacks and we have a diamond flush. The diamond flush has
the best hand. The diamond flush will double up nomination firsthand of the four.
Now we're going to the diamond flush versus a set of jacks, and
the diamond flush was the short stack, so they doubled up. Heading over
to four hundred and ninety nine, table four ninety nine in red kind of
hot. It's always a madhouse. You know, they should really space these
tables out a little bit in here, just with how wild it is.
Okay, let's let four and risk. You're getting position here? Were in
all right, they're situating themselves at the table right now. I mean there's
like seventy people surrounding one poker table in an already pretty crowded room where you
know, you have three four feet between every single table. It's chaos in
here, but it's beautiful against nine o'clock aces versus King nine. Off the
aces are all in, guessing they're pretty short and the King nine called or
that maybe the King nine put the person all in. But yeah, six
of harms nine six three, So the king nine does have a pair of
nines, six of gloves. The board with six pairs of the board on
the turn needs a nine on the river to bust one player. I'd see
the river where the four hearts. Neither player has a heart four on the
rivers will up HeSE is gonna double up. So the first two hands of
this hand for hand play, the second hand of hand play, there's four
hands, two double ups, two more to go. I'm not sure where
the group is headed down here we go sid so if they don't bust a
player on this hand, hand for hand play will continue. Are you eight
cup six the ball half? Please hate six three? Queen? I believe
is going to three sets up? All right, guy, I got it
in with a set of sixes doubled up against his opponent who had just a
pair of eights. So three hands down, all have been double ups.
There is one more hand to go again, still looking for two eliminations to
get us into the money here twenty twenty four dosy main events, but so
far no one has been willing to bust. It's hard to kill people in
tournaments, man, especially on the bubble, were Q Yeah, clubs shut
the clubs. Clubs say hands, you got five and we have the trees
or the player with all right, the rubber party they see in a double
one four irons to the tree. Noa ano, they're double up. Don't
really know what happened on that hand, but all four hands that were all
in calls during the second hand of hand for hand play resulted in double ups
for the shorter stack. So still fifteen hundred and nineteen players remaining, and
things continue to off. The money in the twenty twenty fours be made.
Event now they're all on a call. Here the third hand of hand for
hand play. The group has made its way over to table four, p.
Thirteen in the blue section. This might be the only all in and
call on this hand, which would mean that the bubble won't burnt just on
this hand. But of course we'll see, we'll see how things go.
I know that Daniel and Grandy's over in that corner. I wonder if it's
him. He was pretty short coming into the day. Sub ten big lines.
We've got it all on a call between seed one, seed nine nine
is at leris here we go? We've got parricanes were they all on player.
We've got par oasis for the player who has the cover. Okay,
okay, Kings kings versus as kings are the short stack on the can or
something else. Oaces hold up here, tres phase jack the diamonds, deuces
fades. Two aces are good. Let's see the fur card jack to reduced
aces still in front? Have you, Queen of spades on the turn?
All right, two aces are still good. Let's see the river car burber
induces. We have an elimination. All right, one bust out there,
Kings lose out two aces, so that brings the field down to fifteen hundred
and eighteen players. Now one off the money. Of course, listen,
players, please, it's the worst kept secret that the player that quote unquote
bubbles the main events always gets a seat to next year's event. Right,
So they never announced it though, so you never fully know that it's happening.
But they generally award the bubble boy or bubble girls with a seat to
next year's event. So we'll see if people get a little crazy on this
hand, possibly thinking that that is also in play, so it can be
on a little bit of a free roll. Paul, you should have been
in your seats. We're gonna do this again. Alright, Gaylor shot hold
the middle one hand. All right, we are now on the fourth hand
of hand for hand play. Let's see if we burst the bubble. Still
got one thousand. He's now has three hands for the tournament to lose one
play. Will he make it? I said I'd bet my salary on it,
so I really hope he does because I'll feel like awful. But media
now got some attention on him. He's had photos, he showed he's one
K chip. Let's hope he makes it. Okay, I'm guessing this is
when it's gonna break because one player away from the money. Fifteen and eighteen
remained fifteen seventeen pay. There are six all in in calls. Six it
is the fourth hand of hand for hand play. Six all on in calls.
I know Jesse Lonis is involved in one of them, cause I was
standing at that table Jesse Lonis, who got a little crazy earlier as you
as you heard, I know on Jesse Lonis's hand that small line raised Lonis
three vet from the big blind. The guy jammed for I think three maybe
four hundred thousand loonus tanked for a little bit and then ultimately called it off.
Don't know the hands yet. They went to the other side of the
room, so we'll see how things go again. It sounds like six all
in and calls on the fourth hand of hand for amplay. Here's the first
one. Okay, another aces versus King's confrontation. Here Kings once again are
at risk us not be a club. All right, it's down to one
out on the river, all right. One. So the elimination happened on
the first of six all in hands. So the field is guaranteed to be
in the money. Now it's just a matter of what's gonna happen from here.
There are still five all in calls. Oh, it sounds like Odib's
all in, ODB, friend of the pot, David Baker all in for.
They just said three hundred and forty thousand ace queen for ODB, ace
five for his opponent. ODB is still best on the flop players hitting in
an ace. He just needs to fade a five on the river. They
will full up, all right, and David Baker doubles up. I'm moving
on to the third all in hand. That was the second. Remember the
first one was a bust out, so they are guaranteed to be in the
money. Let me see if I can go over there and chat with mister
ODB, who is all in. It was all in, all right,
we've got it one, two and see seven is a life. But there
there there polleys over here. So we're riding position. I got you.
I gotta give us a second position. Are technically he's closed to turn over
in his hand. I don't. I don't want that to be your hand.
So we push that man over for young it's are you can turn over?
Yes? Please, thank you? All right, there you are,
and now there's so much to knock over here in front of now they're all
on a call here third hand of hand for hand, but our third hand,
it's this hand for thought for the divings and see twos that runs for
his turner life. Let's see the plas eighty six, eight, three eights
over here, and it looks like least a miracle comes here, and we
have elimination lay Burn card clubs. All right, let's say the river garden,
all right, three, it's going to do that hand. And we're
another elimination here in September two, so we have another elimination here, So
three another, babe, we're going through four. Three of the six hands
have been played. Three again. This is the fourth hand of hand for
hand play. Two element nations have happened. We played four hands. We've
had two eliminations. All right, so we got sorry four hands. Haven't
played two eliminations at risk. It's all right, all right, take hands
eighteen versus aces. Alright, s four a risk, but you've got the
best hand. Let's take a look at the ball. Six of hard,
four diamonds, nine of spades. Two aces are good. Let's to the
German aces again. Aces are always all in? Aces will no alright,
aces doubled up on that hand. So again, still two eliminations here.
It's t warm. Sounds like there is one more hand left. We've had
two eliminations so far. This is the last hand. All right, we
got it. It's like C three and C eight and uh C three or
eight is all my first turn alive. It looks like all right, let's
take a let's get a position, all right, listen for revealing hands flee.
All right, we've got a pot of queens for is at risk.
Let's take a look ace queen versus queen's ace. Queen is at risk in
this hand the queen the sphase over here versus greena diamonds greena glove and it's
final hard spial gloves. Do BLUs, dude makes you're good for your turn
card. Now we have an as on the turn right now it's the peasant
hand as five a double ace. Queen hit an ace on the turn here,
so looking like a double up unless a queen comes in. Nope,
so that's going to be a double up there he doubles up. We don't
want more, Charlie, Are you sure we don't have anything? One more?
Okay, let's do one more? All right, wonder little more?
All in a call eliminations walk fine, there were six total. Two eliminations
have happened. This one that they're going to now, that's the one with
Jesse Loons. See what they have? All right? All right? One?
Two? Let's rise reveal here pond kings for two C one has pocket
king C two. That's Jesse Lonis. He's got ace Queen mark. So
then that year was England scoring. Not anything to do with the bubble,
England playing in the Netherlands in the Euros. The recard woman, who's up?
All right? So the Kings double through Jesse Lonis. We have players
and we have a whole players all over and congratulations. All right, you
guys. They're going to split. They're going to slip last place, draw
my card year, how about that one? Actually? All right, there
we go. So the two players chop the first payout, so fifteen k
they chop it. They get seventy five hundred each. Now they're going to
high Card to see who wins the seat for next year's WSP main event.
You got a minute? Well what was that? Positive? Well? What
are you four big blinds as queen? What are you doing? I had
three hundred and fifty thousand? What is that like forty something? I mean,
sometimes you just got to call it off, you know. I learned
from Donny p hold it off. I called it off. So and you
were right, and I was right. You know. I listened to the
Poker podcast and my good friend Donnie Peters told me sometimes you just got to
go with your read and if you lose, you just accept that. And
so I went with my read. I love it, and you hell,
and now you got what almost eight hundred? I have like seven hundred.
If you want to hear the hand, let's go. So I got a
high roller from Europe in the big line. I did a little research though
he played some high rollers. He has like seven hundred thousand. I know
he's going to be pretty aggressive and apply some pressure on the on the bubble.
So I decided at ak B line that I wanted to over raise if
I had a hand on the button, because A I don't want him to
appeal, and then I have to play post flop and maybe it'll induce him
to do something spazzy. So I picked up the Ace Queen of Clubs on
the button, which is a huge hand on the button, and so I
opened for twenty five k, which is like three point something blinds, and
he asked how many chips I had, And I'm pretty sure he thinks like
I did that because I'm scared the bubble and I'm never gonna call off.
And he just shipped, and I'm like, you know, if he's got
a big hand here, it doesn't I don't really feel like he's shipping.
I was a little worried that he might have like a small pair or something,
but I thought like he also had a lot of just aces in his
hands, like just weak aces. So how you know I thought about it,
and I'm like, you know, what if I had like fifty thousand,
I probably fold, because like I had my chance of doing something in
the tournament by doubling ups and not that big. But if I double up
three fifty to seven hundred, you know, with my experience navigating and such,
I think I can, you know, I can make a run in
this tournament. So because like, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do it.
And I did after like a minute or two of me telling him I'm
probably gonna call, but I just need to think this through because you know,
I don't want some stupent And I called and he had the ace five
off and I helped, and who I got some chippies. Now, baby,
play to win. That's that's the lesson here. Play to win,
all right? Good luck? All right, guys, It is one time
here the roses in court. Once you unfortunately get eliminated, I need your
repay in your seats until hey out runner County get you. Once you get
into our pre payout program, you guys would go where your work, pick
up your money. Told your last out of team. But it's very important.
Once you get to this, they subscribe that you remain in your seats
until we grab you. Okay, four or eight thousand, Good luck,
everybody. Dealers play shut up a Nail. Jenny Express
