1 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,880 Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast. 2 00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:19,399 My name is Donny Peters. I'm joined by Tim Duckworth, and we have 3 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,440 reached the twenty twenty three World Series of Poker Main Event Final table. Nine 4 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,920 players remain from the record shattering field of ten thousand and forty three entries. 5 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:37,200 Wow, what a day, Pretty quick day Overallum got out of here quick. 6 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,119 I want it to be here for forty hours.

It's just it's just past nine o'clock now 9 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,960 on Friday July fourteenth. That's when Tim and I are recording super fun day, 10 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,079 pretty action packed day overall. We saw it as arguably one of the 11 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:04,159 most sighting hands in WSP Main event history. People might think that I'm crazy 12 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,439 for saying that, but I'm telling you that hand that happened that we'll talk 13 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,840 about the three way all in clash, Wow, out of control.

Daniel Weineman hid an insane turn card in the hand 16 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,319 that I just alluded to. We'll talk about that. Toby Lewis came into 17 00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:34,400 the day pretty healthy, but is not the short stack coming back for the 18 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,760 final table, and then we're gonna get into some of the other stuff that 19 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,280 happened around the Horseshoe and Paris.

Yeah, we'll take serious, will take 72 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,720 some fun questions. So how much it is down for the year, I 73 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:10,480 mean, we're gonna we'll go over our number at the end of the world. 74 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,199 I think I'm I think I'm down very slightly, but um, pretty 75 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:15,120 close to even. I think I have no idea how to win. Having 76 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,920 looked close to even is a win of the Yeah, I was talking to 77 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,240 somebody the other day, um, and they were asking me, are you 78 00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:23,240 up or down or whatever? I said, I think I'm pretty close to 79 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,040 even, which is like a win because then it just seems like you were 80 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:30,959 able to free roll yourself to possibly hitting a huge score. So all good 81 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,800 there, All right, it was Day eight of the World Series of Poker 82 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:42,560 main event. Normally day eight means final table day. Surely, I mean, 83 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,480 yeah, but you you only go by the plain dies. But what 84 00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:46,920 I'm saying it is only the final table of day and then the day two 85 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,160 of the final table. What I'm saying that, yeah, no, that's 86 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,480 true. But but what I'm saying is that in prior years, we've never 87 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:57,360 said, like day eight. It's been day seven. You've made Day seven, 88 00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:00,240 you're playing down to the final table like that. So it's weird to 89 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,720 me to say day eight. I hear what you're saying. That's what I'm 90 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,319 saying, Like, we haven't had a day. This is day like obviously 91 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,959 Sunday is not. It's technically day nine, but we call it, you 92 00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:10,079 know, final table day part one or whatever you want to call it. 93 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:14,600 And then there's another final table day on Monday. But previously it was get 94 00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:16,920 to day seven. Then you're playing final three tables down to the final table. 95 00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:20,160 You know, this year is a Day eight because they added a year 96 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:24,279 or they added a day. Thank god that they did, because they had, 97 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,399 you know, a crap ton more runners, which is awesome, you 98 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,040 know, and I think that it helped the schedule out. Players had an 99 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,519 early night, you know, crew staff, all that stuff gets an early 100 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,759 night tonight. Also a day off tomorrow as a pertain to the main event, 101 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,160 even though there are tournaments that are going to be running here at Horseshoe 102 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,000 and Paris on the Las Vegas Strip. You've made jumping in the two fifty 103 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,720 deep stack Las longa hell, it's not a sable Helmo. I'm done with 104 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,160 poker for the World Series. I can't hand this a one ky free zack 105 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:54,040 coming up. I don't want to. I can't handle it. Not if 106 00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:57,560 they ripped my heart and soul in the main events, you can go from 107 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,560 the main event to the two fifty days that Yeah, honestly, I'm I 108 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,480 know these people do it. You know a lot of these poker players obviously 109 00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:06,240 do it. You know. I don't know if I could ever do it. 110 00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:10,079 It's it just seems like so hard to do. I mean, maybe 111 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480 I'll get to that point someday, but I don't know. We'll see. 112 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,800 So they came back with fifteen players today for Day eight, and it turns 113 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,839 out that Jack O'Neill was the first player to go. He bust in fifteenth 114 00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:26,279 place. I believe Jack O'Neill came into the day fourteenth out of the fifteen 115 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,800 players, and then Kong Fam was the shortest act, but Kong Fang hung 116 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,600 around a little bit, and it was actually Kong Fam that eliminated Jack O'Neill 117 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,600 in fifteenth place. Then in fourteenth place we lost a former end of day 118 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,839 chip leader, the Day six chip leader, Joshua Payne or josh Payne, 119 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,040 and he went out in what was one of the most exciting hands at least 120 00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:55,399 that I can remember in World Series of Poker mainiment history. And I don't 121 00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:58,800 think that that is like some sort of crazy overstatement to make. I really 122 00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:03,800 don't. This hand was absolutely out of control. Also, when you consider 123 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:11,120 like the stakes fourteen players left, they're on a money bubble or i'm sorry, 124 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,560 a money jump. They're all guaranteed four hundred and thirty thousand. I 125 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,839 think the next place or two places was five hundred and thirty five thousand, 126 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,360 So you know there's there's that money that's at stake. Obviously, all of 127 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,120 the equity that's involved in a hand like this. So here's here's how the 128 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,360 hand played out, and we'll just talk about it, and then we'll play 129 00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,240 a little interview with the winner of the hand, which happened to be Daniel 130 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,799 Wineman, who then went on to make the found Table. So they're playing 131 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,840 four hundred thousand, eight hundred thousand. They're at two tables of seven on 132 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:46,000 the main feature table stage. Joshua Paine makes it one point six million to 133 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,080 go. Joshua Paine like he'd been playing like kind of aggressive, so he 134 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,240 doesn't necessarily have to have a super premium hand here. It turns out he's 135 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,080 got pocket kings. Okay, it folds on over to Jose Aguilera and he 136 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,559 three bets to four and a half million on the button. Now action slides 137 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,919 one seed over to Daniel Wineman and he's I believe he's in the small blind 138 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,639 on this hand. He goes into the tank and we know, so Aguilarra 139 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,879 three bets with queens. So you're watching, like the screen comes up MC 140 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,120 and I are doing the commentary, and like you know, they kind of 141 00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:20,240 show you the hand, the cards of the players. When it gets to 142 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:22,960 each of them so like, you know, Pain, Okay, Pain's got 143 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,120 kings, Okay, we have a potential for a big hand. Oh, 144 00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:28,639 aguilar has got queens. Okay, Oh my god, Daniel Wyman's got Jack's. 145 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,879 But what the hell this is insane? Daniel Wineman looks at his hands, 146 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,039 or sorry, looks at his cards and immediately looks like he's just like 147 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,639 in pain, like are you kidding me? Like this spot right now? 148 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:46,919 Really fourteen left in the US be maniment, all this stuff going on, 149 00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:50,679 all this money on the line, a shot at the final table, all 150 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,600 this equity, what like what what? And so the blinds are again four 151 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,840 in eight hundred thousand, and Dan Wineman has right about twenty nine million. 152 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:07,960 So what's that thirty something? Big bines, Yeah, thirty six thirty. 153 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,440 I don't know it's thirty eight. My brain's not working right now. So 154 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,159 he's kind of thinking. He's going back and forth. He looks at Aguilera's 155 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,559 stack and he gets a count on his stack. Wineman knows that he has 156 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,200 Josh Pain covered across the table. Aguilera actually has Wineman covered, okay, 157 00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:28,120 So he's thinking, thinking, thinking, Eventually he announces that he's all in 158 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,440 for a little bit over twenty nine million actions on Pain. Now he looks 159 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,559 like, what the heck He's got two kings Like He's immediately like kind of 160 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,279 sits up in his chair. He's like, what huh? Like really like 161 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,799 three bet and a jam behind me, you know, I mean, ultimately 162 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,559 Paine's never folding the kings there, I don't think, and he doesn't. 163 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:52,360 He puts his money in then actions on Aguilera, who thinks for not all 164 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,080 that long, but did think for a little while, and then he makes 165 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,399 the call. So all the all the players are all in. Josh Payne 166 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,519 is the shortest stack. He's got pocket kings. The biggest stack is Jose 167 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,120 Aguilera, he's got pocket queens, and then Dan Weinman has pocket Jack's. 168 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,120 And it's like, oh my god, what is going on here? If 169 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,799 Aguilera somehow wins this hand with the queens, he's the biggest stacks, so 170 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:18,879 he'll knock out two players, and a bunch of the other short stacks are 171 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,480 all going to get this pay jump sold like that's happening as well. Obviously 172 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,600 Payne is looking to triple up here with the best hand. Pain is also 173 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,519 friends with Daniel Wineman, like it says all this sort of stuff. It's 174 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,440 just converging. At one time, fourteen players left in the main event on 175 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,519 the main stage. I mean, it's just absolutely wild. Flop comes Ace 176 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:43,879 seven four. Now it comes to two hearts. The hearts don't matter because 177 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,120 no one between the King's Queens and Jack's had hearts. Also, something that's 178 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:52,039 a little bit of a worst thing for Daniel Wineman going into this with the 179 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,440 worst of the three hands is his bolt of his suits are covered. He 180 00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:00,519 can't make a flush, okay, so turn boom, Jack of Hearts. 181 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:07,480 I mean Wineman's face complete shock, because it honestly looked like it honestly looked 182 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,200 like to me that he couldn't breathe. I mean it was like out of 183 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,320 control. I was like, like he like legit can't breathe. I mean 184 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,120 that's what That's what I thought. It looked like. I mean, just 185 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:24,279 absolutely wild that he hit that hand. You got Josh areas like in the 186 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,919 background, like jumping up and down, fist pumping with that jack on thetern 187 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,360 and it was the Jack of hearts, you know, but again, no 188 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,399 player had a heart. The river comes, it's a three, it blanks 189 00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:37,879 off, so Wineman wins his hand. He takes out Pain in fourteenth place. 190 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:43,960 He doubles through Aggie Lera, who's then left pretty short. Overall, 191 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,919 he's down to twelve and a half million again big blind at the time, 192 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:52,200 eight hundred thousand. So just an absolutely wild hand, certainly one that I 193 00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:56,279 won't forget anytime soon. And then after the whole day wrapped up, after 194 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,679 we got down to nine, I went and found Daniel because I had to 195 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,919 ask him just about this hand. All right, Daniel Wineman, I really 196 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,320 just want to ask you about the jack's hand. How was that? Yeah? 197 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,200 That was fun. I've never like been the emotional guy at the table 198 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,480 and almost like sometimes you laugh the guys that go crazy until you're deep in 199 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:18,639 this tournament and realize like how stressful it is and like how your emotions are 200 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,960 on every single hand you play, so to get it in and like by 201 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,720 far the biggest equity spot of my life and just hit the jack. It's 202 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,600 it's insane. I mean your face, I think, at least to me 203 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:33,399 when I was watching it, it was pretty much utter shock, complete shock. 204 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,960 I mean, you know that are just two left in the decks, 205 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,480 but you never expect it's going to come. I think Shand've already changed the 206 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,679 background of his phone from glanced sweating the million dollar bounty to my face hitting 207 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,399 the jack, So he'll have to look at me for the next year or 208 00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:48,720 so. Now, pre flop, what's going through your mind? Raised three 209 00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:52,159 bed in front of you. You had I think thirty thirty five big binds 210 00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:54,840 about that. You look down, you see two jacks, you're shorthanded. 211 00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:58,559 There's twelve left in the main event. I mean you looked pained when you 212 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,879 saw your and and we're kind of looking at it. Yeah, I mean, 213 00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:03,799 it wasn't It wasn't me trying to give off a false teller or anything. 214 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,799 I was just truly like in a tough spot, like you know, 215 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:09,559 my buddy Josh opens under the gun, I think off twenty five blinds or 216 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,960 so, and the Spanish kid three bets on the button, which I know 217 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,120 he's gonna go after Josh. Maybe a little bit light because Josh had been 218 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,399 playing like kind of aggressively, so it's understandable that the Spanish guy, you 219 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,240 know, my three bit a little bit late for sure. I think he's 220 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,360 just gonna use Ason King Blocker's a lot I saw a few hands yesterday where 221 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,879 he three bit at king nine suited hand. You know, I was a 222 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:31,840 little worried because he did go with a small sizing. But then I'm trying 223 00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:33,279 to think, you know, maybe it's just because Josh is so short. 224 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:35,720 But at the same time, it's like you said, it's thirty five lines, 225 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:39,240 it's Jack's it's six handed, and sometimes if they have it, they 226 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:43,799 have it. You know. I'll talk to some some people who are a 227 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:46,120 lot better at tournaments than me and find out maybe exactly how bad it was. 228 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,360 But in the moment, it felt like time to go. How big 229 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,519 is this moment for you now? I mean it's what you dream of as 230 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:56,320 a poker player. It's it's the tournament you never think you're gonna make it. 231 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,320 And now I got a day off to prepare and probably just gonna try 232 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,720 to relax, play some golf, not think about it too much, and 233 00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:05,279 coming ready to do some battle on Sunday. All right, you heard it 234 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,919 there, Daniel Wyman describing his emotion. What's going through his mind? I 235 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:15,000 mean, just so much at stake right there to Jack of Hearts. I 236 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,440 mean, he should get that just tattooed on his forehead as far as I'm 237 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,679 concerned, I mean, like what I mean, holy hell, Like can 238 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,320 you imagine. I mean, there's obviously been some ridiculous hands and dubis of 239 00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,799 being made him in history. I mean that just has to be up there 240 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,480 with the best of them. I mean, just absolutely wild. All right. 241 00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:39,159 So after that you got such in Josie goes out in thirteenth place, 242 00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:43,039 then Kong Fam finally succumbs on the short stack in twelfth place, then Alec 243 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:50,960 Tarelli busts in eleventh place, and then Jose Aguilera goes out in tenth place. 244 00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:56,000 Now there was some interesting dynamics as this thing played down. I think 245 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480 they were twelve handed. When there was a bunch of short stacks. You 246 00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:03,039 had Fam who was super short. Daniel Holsner was super super short. I 247 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,080 think when the blinds, the blinds are still four hundred eight hundred thousand, 248 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,799 and Daniel Holsner got down to two point eight million, like Alec Terrelli was 249 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:15,159 super short. So it was just it was really interesting. And then Agui 250 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,519 Larra was also pretty short after he lost that big hand in the three way 251 00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,399 clash, And it was just really interesting because three of those short stacks. 252 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:26,440 You had Agui Larra, you had Holzner, and you had Terrelli. We're 253 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,240 all on the same table, and on the other table you had fam and 254 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,799 the players at one point asked if they could go hand for hand. The 255 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,440 tournament staff said, no, the Tanki's out too bad. We're not gonna 256 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,039 you know, we're not gonna put you on hand for hand, So they 257 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,159 let him go. There was kind of a thing going back and forth with 258 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,519 Alec Terrelli and Juan Mas Sierras that was happening. There was a mucked hand 259 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,519 for Jose Aguilera because he was away from the table. He was he was 260 00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:51,960 away from the table, but he was like within the feature table area just 261 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,519 talking to his rail. So there was that, you know, he got 262 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:56,960 really upset at that when that happened. I mean, there was a lot 263 00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:00,759 of different stuff that was happening on of course, in the big poker tournament 264 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,799 in the world. On day eight, he was just absolutely wild. So 265 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,440 we get down to the final table of ten, Jose Agui Larra is short. 266 00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:11,240 He's looking to, you know, try and get back into this thing, 267 00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:18,160 double up, make something happen. Holsner I mentioned had gotten down to 268 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:21,359 two point eight million when the blinds were four and at eight hundred thousand, 269 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,079 he doubles up. He ends up like spinning his stack up pretty nicely overall, 270 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,519 and he comes into the final table of ten with over thirty millions, 271 00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:33,119 so he's doing well. Then there's a hand with Jan Peter Yatman. I 272 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,759 believe he raises Jose Aguilera three bets. He three bets till like six point 273 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:41,839 seven million, leaves himself two point five million behind. I believe the big 274 00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:45,839 blind was one point two million at the time. Yatman decides to call he's 275 00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:52,799 got ace eight and then Aggui Larra has got ace jack of spades. So 276 00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:59,279 the flop comes down six five four with one heart, and Yachtman did have 277 00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:00,920 the ace eight of hearts. There was also one spade on the flop and 278 00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:07,240 Aguilera has the ace checker spades. Watman puts in the chips to force his 279 00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:10,160 opponent all in if he makes the call. Aguilera does make the call. 280 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,240 He's got the best fare right now, but he's still got to fade some 281 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,640 outs. The turn just delivers the out that he needs. It's the seven, 282 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,559 So six five four on the flop seven on the turn, the ace 283 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:22,720 for Yachtman makes it straight. The only hope for Aguilera at that point is 284 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,480 to chop on the river, and the deuce of diamonds does not do it 285 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:30,359 for him, so we lose Jose Aguilera in tenth place. He takes home 286 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,680 seven hundred thousand dollars and that is what's set the final table of nine. 287 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,559 Adam Walton is the chip leader. He had a crazy day. He was 288 00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:45,680 battling on the outer feature table. Then when he gets up he starts playing 289 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,720 pots with Juan Massiras and Toby Lewis like all day he's chipping up, chipping 290 00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:52,480 up, chipping up. He's going to be the only player with more than 291 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:55,359 one hundred million chips, and he's got one hundred and forty three million. 292 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,319 Then it's Stephen Jones with ninety million, Daniel Weinman eighty one million, Jean 293 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,720 Peter Yatman seventy four point six, Juan Massierraz has sixty eight million. One. 294 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:07,519 Massiras was up two hundred and forty million. Yeah he did that was 295 00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:11,759 I saw him off towards he was talking to um Alex and he looked like, 296 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:15,319 you know, he had just made the final type. So he should 297 00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:17,759 be happy, he should be excited, he should be like, you know, 298 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:22,119 everything was the opposite to that. He was looking like he had just 299 00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:26,279 run over a dog. Yeah, I mean, but listen, Live by 300 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:29,119 the sword, died by the sword. Yeah, we talked about it yesterday. 301 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,359 Juan Massierras had the potential to go into the final table with two hundred 302 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,799 million chips, or there was a chance he could have been out like and 303 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,039 you know, towards the end, he started teetering more towards that we thought 304 00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:42,079 he might be out than we thought he might have two hundred million, just 305 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,759 because he kept losing some big pots and big pots. Ultimately, Massierz is 306 00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:52,200 gonna take sixty eight million into the final. It's a ton of chips. 307 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,279 It's they're still gonna be playing. One point two million is the big blind, 308 00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:57,279 I believe. So he's got a ton of ships. He's got fifty 309 00:19:57,319 --> 00:20:00,480 I think it's like a full level. He's got like fifty six big blinds. 310 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:07,200 There's just something crazypes. Russelland Priedric fifty point seven million, Dean Hutchinson 311 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,680 forty one point seven million, Daniel Holzner thirty one point nine million, in 312 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,640 the short stack. Returning is Toby Lewis nineteen point eight million, but Toby 313 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,559 Lewis, you know, still has what's that twenty fifteen sixteen, like sixteen 314 00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:26,160 seventeen Big Blinds, So you know, not horrible for Toby Lewis, Like 315 00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:30,519 I know it's it's short, but I mean one double up. He's right 316 00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,839 in the middle of things. At the top again is Adam Walton, so 317 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,200 you know he's cruising along with one hundred and twenty Big Blinds. He was. 318 00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:40,880 He's a lot of fun. Like you, you wouldn't expect it. 319 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:44,599 He kind of really emerged late in terms of like becoming a more of a 320 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,240 personality, but he's a lot of fun overall. I know you spoke with 321 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:52,599 him afterwards, So we'll kick it to that interview now and then we'll continue 322 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:57,160 on Adam congratulations ship later of the WSP Manu band I really want to talk 323 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,839 too much. I want to talk Jeff Platt. Seems like you and you'll 324 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,039 rail have been showering quite a lot. Do you believe in the Jeff Plat 325 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:10,759 chinks, Well, I don't know if I believe in it, but two 326 00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:15,279 years ago I had piles Jeff Interviews me, and that was my last hand 327 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:21,599 in the tournament. So I feel like just decided we're gonna shower Jeff until 328 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,920 I'm busted well or win. Jeff does listen to the podcast, so let's 329 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,279 confirm. We're gonna confirm that that is true. The next thing I want 330 00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:30,359 to ask you about is I believe you and your friend over here, Tim 331 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,759 Chang, have a little bit. I want you to tell me a bit 332 00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:36,319 about this boat bet and about the two hundred and fifty k and winnings. 333 00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:38,480 Can you elaborate a little bit. We just made a side bet of the 334 00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:41,359 first person that made two hundred and fifty k had to buy a boat. 335 00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:45,359 Sounds like they've put you down for a big expense already. I mean, 336 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,119 it probably depends on how this ends up. Let's turn it back a little 337 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,000 bit to poker. You know, chip Lata obviously twelve point one million dollars. 338 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:53,720 You want to win that pot? Ryan, Now we're gonna die off. 339 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,319 How are you going to approach the day off? You know, mentally 340 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,720 physically, I'm literally gonna do nothing. I'm just gonna go to sleep. 341 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,359 I haven't slept for a while. So the idea is to literally just go 342 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,440 to bed and Chell, I don't know, you probably didn't hear it because 343 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,279 I was, you know, interviewing Adam Walden and his rail was over there 344 00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:14,039 Timothy Chang, some other players. He basically made a bet with Timothy Chang 345 00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:17,640 about first to win to fifty k buys a boat. And what Chang was 346 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,279 saying, and I don't know if you caught it, Hopefully producer Richkin, 347 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,039 you know, did work. He's magic. Basically, Chang was saying, 348 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,119 yeah, it's not going to be some cheap boat. It's going to be 349 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,720 like one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars boat, you know, and like this 350 00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:33,200 beer is flowing. It was a crazy rail, But I think that is 351 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,839 a pretty crazy story that they would make it a bet to Timothy Chang. 352 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,559 Also cash in this main event five hundred ninety first place, first player makes 353 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:45,599 two hundred and fifty k buys a boat. And also Chang is the lucky 354 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:52,319 charm. Jeff Platt is the unlucky charm because a couple of years ago, 355 00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:56,359 Walden was interviewed by Jeff busted the next hand. As he said on the 356 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,759 call, they were fading Jeff the entire main event, and they're gonna keep 357 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,799 fading him until Walty the wins a bus. I mean I'd fade him too. 358 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,880 It's you know, Jeff Flatt super unlucky to people. The boat's a 359 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,640 crazy thing. Yes, you know, when I heard that, I was 360 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,200 like, wait, what that seems pretty wild? Um. You know I 361 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,440 don't think boats are all that cheap, so you know, yeah, I 362 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,240 guess I'm pretty close to like me, say you cash for like pretty much 363 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,119 exactly two hundred fifty K maybe three. I mean you're just gonna give up 364 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,279 one third? Well, no, I think you might buy a little paddle 365 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:30,079 butt from tank, right, you're not gonna buy a one hundred and fifteen 366 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,200 k tree. Well, I mean he's in position to buy a pretty awesome 367 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,440 boat. Yeah. At this point, one hundred and twenty big blinds the 368 00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:38,680 chip leader coming into the final table of nine. Um, you know, 369 00:23:38,839 --> 00:23:42,960 guaranteed nine hundred thousand, likely gonna win a couple million. Um, you 370 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,319 know, if things don't become a total disaster for him. But yeah, 371 00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:51,319 here comes the boat. I like it. I like it. Don't make 372 00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:53,000 a bet like this what I'm not buying? No, it doesn't need at 373 00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:57,240 let's we should make a poke a bet like this next world series, one 374 00:23:57,279 --> 00:24:02,079 of us being something we have to do to buy something. Next one series 375 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,640 that's future Tim and Donnie's you know item. So play is going to resume 376 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:12,680 for the Final Table on Sunday, July sixteenth at two pm Yeah Vegas time, 377 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,519 Okay, two pm Vegas time, five pm East Coast time. The 378 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,200 live stream will start on poker Go at three pm Las Vegas time, so 379 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:25,640 cards in the air at two pm an hour later due to the delay because 380 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,400 of gaming regulations. That's when the stream will start again. That is on 381 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,960 poker go dot com, so be sure to check that out. It's gonna 382 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,000 be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see more clashing between Adam 383 00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:41,559 Walton and Juan ma Sierras. Overall, I thought these guys have played a 384 00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:45,079 lot of really fun hands, big pots, creative lines, so I'm looking 385 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,920 forward to much more of that, you know, going forward as this thing 386 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,559 plays out. And then obviously these money jumps are absolutely ridiculous, so you 387 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:56,000 know, I can't wait to see how that comes into a dynamic overall. 388 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,359 And then we'll see if Toby lewis, you know, probably the biggest name 389 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,640 at this final table. See if he can spin up that short stack. 390 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,880 He's going to be coming in with seventeen big blinds. Can he turn it 391 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,359 around and start to climb back up? What would you do if you're in 392 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,240 Toby Lewis spot? Are you thinking, Okay, I've got some kind of 393 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,480 crazy people. Maybe I would be trying to find aces and double up. 394 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,079 Okay, that's obvious, But like, are you actively thinking about laddering up? 395 00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:21,119 Are you? Like, you know what, I'm the shortest stack. 396 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,319 Everything is a free role from here on. I'm just gonna just play normal. 397 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:30,039 I mean, I think Toby will probably approach it that. You know, 398 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:34,920 laddering up is obviously important. I also think Toby Lewis has done extremely 399 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,720 well for himself throughout his career. You know, he's already had two million 400 00:25:38,759 --> 00:25:42,440 dollars scores. He won the Auzy Millions before he finished third in the wind 401 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:48,839 Millions events. That was I believe when Andrew Marino won it. Ye think 402 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,200 that was right. But they all they all did a deal and they all 403 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,359 got over a million dollars for the deal. So he also has like another 404 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,240 six hundred dollars score. You know, he said he's obviously done well. 405 00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:00,519 I think probably in some sports betting, in some business stuff or NFTs or 406 00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:03,400 whatever it may be. So you know, I don't think Toby Lewis is 407 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,000 necessarily hurting for the money, right, So he's not going to be like 408 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:11,559 super sweating these pay jumps would be my guess. Ye that said, I 409 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:14,279 mean, you're playing for a retirement money, You're playing for twelve million, 410 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,839 so you know, I think he's gonna do his best to play it cautiously 411 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,720 but also go for it. If that makes any sense to anyone out there, 412 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,200 I'm not even sure if it makes sense to me coming out of my 413 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,599 own mouth, Like, I don't think he's going to shy away from spots. 414 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,640 Like for example, today when they were I think there was twelve left, 415 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:40,359 Daniel Holsner folded ACE five of diamonds with one of the shortest stacks, 416 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,839 which I thought was kind of a tighter fold because you know, what are 417 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:45,599 you waiting for at that point? And listen, maybe he would have busted. 418 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,960 I don't know what Aggie Larra would have done behind him, because he 419 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,599 had pocket threes and he ended up going all in. Everyone folded. But 420 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,759 like, does he make the call and then Holden's out of the tournament. 421 00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:57,240 I don't know. But that said, like, I don't think Toby Lewis 422 00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:00,519 is going to be passing up on those types of spots. I think he's 423 00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:06,880 gonna take those spots because I think ultimately Toby Lewis is gonna try to play 424 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,400 to win. That's just my read on the situation. But you know, 425 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,400 we'll see. I think, you know, while I think Toby Lewis has 426 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,359 obviously done very well for himself over his career, I think he also really 427 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,960 wants to win and really wants to win a lot of money. So you 428 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,880 know, he's not just gonna come in here firing away. And to be 429 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,319 honest, I know he's short. You know, he's got seventeen big blinds 430 00:27:27,319 --> 00:27:30,759 as the shortest. At the next shortest is Holzner with twenty seven big blinds, 431 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,720 and then it's Dean Hutchinson with thirty five big blinds. I mean, 432 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,039 some of these guys are blasters, so like Toby could just do nothing, 433 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,160 like these guys just get the money in because they're just crazy. Like so 434 00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:47,119 there's been some wild hands that have played out, So you know, I 435 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,799 don't think it's going to be a situation where, you know, everyone's really 436 00:27:49,839 --> 00:27:53,160 wading out Toby, because I think that all these guys are gonna kind of 437 00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:59,160 play their own hands. Like Juan Massierras certainly not scared. Adam Waldon definitely 438 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,119 not scared. So I think you could see a lot of big pots. 439 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,480 I really don't think Johan Peter Yatman is that's scared. Like, I think 440 00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:10,079 he's willing to get in there if the opportunity presents itself. So, you 441 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,720 know, Toby could let her up by not doing too much, you know, 442 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:15,400 but that doesn't mean he's gonna necessarily take an ultra conservative approach to this 443 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:22,319 whole thing. Chop value, what do you got? It's correct multiple times. 444 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,920 I can put it in the in the system. Good three point seven 445 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,960 million, nice clean number. Yeah, but at this point, we're playing 446 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,200 for the twelve I'm gambling saying for the gambling today. We're playing for the 447 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,519 twelve million and the five hundred dollars dollar races. Have you chomped that price? 448 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:38,839 Though? Everyone takes take a movie, everyone takes wine, movie, 449 00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:41,319 take a diamond. Yeah, yeah, I think that's how we do it. 450 00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:52,559 Fifty thousand dollars, no limit, hold him high roller again. This 451 00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:56,559 one had one hundred and seventy six entries, Alex Kulev coming out on top 452 00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:03,359 almost two point one million dollars in the bank for Alex Kulev. He tops 453 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:11,039 Gurgly Coolsar in second place, Jake Schindler finishing in third place, Daniel Schmilkovich 454 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,079 in fourth place, in Karai Aldemir in fifth place. So can I give 455 00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:19,559 you a rundown of Alex Kulev's last two months? Yeah, crushing, He's 456 00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:25,920 crushing march It two cashes try in Vietnam. Okay, that's that's not much. 457 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,279 He heads over the money. Carlo wins the ept hundred thousand euros Super 458 00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:34,240 High Rolla for basically one point one American with US dollars, and he had 459 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:38,200 a final table in a twenty five K. Comes over to Vegas, he 460 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,519 takes third in an Aria high Rolla. He takes fourth in the two hundred 461 00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:47,160 and fifty K Super high roll off at one point six million. Yeah, 462 00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:49,119 cash in the three K, cash in a fifteen hundred cash in a fifteen 463 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:55,000 hundred six in an Aria high Rolla, he cashed in the win, wpt 464 00:29:55,079 --> 00:30:00,880 everyone for one jump and then wins the fifty thousand dollars buy in high roller 465 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,519 here at the WSP for his first race, and that's two million. So 466 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:07,240 he's had a one point one, one point six and a two million dollars 467 00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:12,039 score in the span of basically two months. He is on fire. He 468 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,400 also moved to where fifth on the PGT leader Boy, he took a big 469 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:22,880 jump. Now there are some obviously main event changes that are going to happen 470 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,000 in the next few days, but currently he sits in fifth place, thirteen 471 00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:30,519 hundred and thirty three points, leapfrog Jeremy Osmus, Phil helm With and lou 472 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,480 Gaza. Alex Coolev. If he finishes in the top forty, is he 473 00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:37,240 coming for the PGT Championship? Yeah, I did ask him at Yeah, 474 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:38,880 I did ask him. He was He's got his eye on it, so 475 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,920 he is. Yeah, I think we'll see him. And you know, 476 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,359 thirty one hundred points, he could do probably nothing, and I think he 477 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,599 might be around that, you know, thirty fifth, thirty seventh place on 478 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,400 the leaderboard. All right, well, you spoke with Alex Cooler after the 479 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,759 win, so we'll kick it to that right now. Yeah, with Alex 480 00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:00,759 Coolev. Congratulations on WSP pracer. Let's wind up back April million euros score, 481 00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:04,480 June one point six million, and now two million dollars score. You 482 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:08,000 must be sitting high on life right now. I've been very fortunate. It 483 00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:12,319 does feel amazing, you know. I can say that I've worked hard for 484 00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:15,559 it, but the honest is the truth is that I've I've been very fortunate 485 00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:18,880 in this three four months and a lot of things have gone right for me. 486 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,400 That's why I'm here these three big scores. Is as safe to say 487 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,400 you're on top of your pocket game right now. I feel really comfortable. 488 00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:30,359 For me. It's of course I've been fortunate as well, but I think 489 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,960 I've been prepared for those moments, which really helps because it makes you feel 490 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,759 a bit more comfortable and when the pressure gets to you. What do you 491 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,440 enjoy the most about playing these high buying high roller events around the world. 492 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,839 The fact that it's so competitive and the competition is at such a high level 493 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:51,319 that it makes you It puts you in very interesting situations which are unique. 494 00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:53,880 They don't come up often and you have to make a decision on the spot. 495 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,759 That challenge, you know, makes me want to play them more and 496 00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:00,759 more, and it excites me for the future. I'm sure if you're aware 497 00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:01,680 about you know, the puger Go Tour. I know you've been in our 498 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,880 studio. We're doing a million dollars free role at the end of the year. 499 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,319 You're currently fifth on the leaderboard now, so ye, you're in the 500 00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:12,480 top forty. You know, you're already kind of qualified. What's it like 501 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,880 that, you know, ask the Puggo Tour is giving back to these high 502 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,000 roller players with a million dollar free role. I've I've played twice in the 503 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,599 area this year just because of the scheduling. I couldn't have played more. 504 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,400 I love it over there. They treat the players very well. They treat 505 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,240 the players very well. It's very professional. They just make it easy for 506 00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:34,440 us, and I really appreciate that. And the fact that there is such 507 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,960 a such a free role in the future just shows that they care about the 508 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,920 players and they're not They just care about the game and the growth of the 509 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720 game. So I appreciate that and I respect that a lot. I've got 510 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,400 a couple of big events coming up. We've got a ten K six max 511 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,960 a day over at the Wine hundred k Alphae. Where are you going to 512 00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:54,440 be heading right after this? Ah? Right now? Or just take a 513 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,240 few moments, but I'll probably go to the win. If that doesn't go 514 00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:02,519 well, I'll come back here to play the thank A six. All right. 515 00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:07,880 That was Alex Kolev again winner the fifty thousand dollars Noelmant hold him high 516 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:13,799 roller for two million, eighty seven thousand dollars three thousand dollars PLO six Max 517 00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:19,200 Matthew Perry wins it all four hundred and eighty. K Ian mataikas POY front 518 00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:23,400 runner, takes third. So it looks like he's got almost forty six hundred 519 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,559 POY points, which is, you know, the decent gap between him and 520 00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,359 Chris Brewer, who's in the second. You know the Vince caught a gift 521 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,839 after the Slam Dun contest where he say it's over. I feel like I 522 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:45,200 want to put that gift on this result. It's not over, I know, 523 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,240 but it's that's so many. That's such a big league. You basically 524 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,240 have to win a bracelet. Yeah, I know you get to win a 525 00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:54,279 bracelet, but did you guys win bracelets? Brewer, Josh r A, 526 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,279 Shawn Deeb, I mean, anyone? Those are those are the three players 527 00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:01,839 immediately behind. Ian takes and they can all win bracelets, So you know, 528 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,720 I wouldn't say that this is over. I mean, it's gonna be 529 00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:08,840 hard for them to catch him, but I'm saying I know it's not Oliver, 530 00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,920 but that's how I feel. I mean, I know Brewer is the 531 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,039 closest. So it's forty five hundred and ninety seven points right now for IMA 532 00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:21,199 Takes. Chris Brewer has three thousand, eight hundred and twenty eight. Then 533 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:22,960 it's Josh Area with three thousand, six hundred and eighty eight, and then 534 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,360 it's Shawn Dee with three thousand, six hundred and seventy one. Now I 535 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,880 think Sean Deeb actually has the best chance to catch IMA Takes. I mean, 536 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:36,119 Chris Brewer has talked even though he's won two bracelets, how you know 537 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,320 he's not really gonna push for the Player of the Year too much. It's 538 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,079 obviously great to win two bracelets and win a boat load of money, but 539 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:45,480 um, without there being a you know, big cash prize on offer for 540 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:49,719 Player of the Year, I don't expect him to chase it. And you 541 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,159 know, as hard as Sean Deeb will and then also Josh Area, I 542 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,880 don't expect to chase it as hard as Shaan Deebill he I think Josh Ayer 543 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,840 will chase it harder than Chris Brewer, but not as hard as Shaun deeb 544 00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:02,880 Shawn Deeve's blast and everything. Shawn Dee's gonna be playing all the online stuff 545 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,760 that's still left. So, you know, I think Sean deep has has 546 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,760 the best shot out of those three, although I think, you know, 547 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,639 any of those three is more of a long shot than not, because I 548 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,880 Matagus has had such a great summer and really, you know, he's put 549 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,719 a stranglehold on this thing. He doesn't quite have it locked up just yet, 550 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,480 but he's holding onto a firm and he could certainly be the WSP Player 551 00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:30,960 of the Year for twenty twenty three, you know, pending how the last 552 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,880 week or so, you know, half a week of events that are going 553 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,760 to take place. Here, the six hundred dollars ultra stack that had seven 554 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,840 thousand, two hundred and seven entries, Joseph Row wins it all four hundred 555 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:45,119 and one thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars. Congratulations to Joseph Row. 556 00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:49,239 Fifteen hundred dollars. Noelm and hold them shoot out They're down to ten from 557 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,719 a field of nine hundred ninety seven entries, two hundred and thirty seven thousand 558 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,719 dollars up top for the winner. These final ten players are guaranteed nineteen thousand 559 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,719 dollars. You got Yuri Zeveleski, Adam Friedman for Raz, Jocka mo Zao 560 00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:08,280 Ao Chen, Olga Irmlcheva. I probably totally butchered that. I'm sorry, 561 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,119 Olga. I'm gonna butcher this next one too. I mean, what are 562 00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:20,199 these names? I know I had to put them all. Edward Marach Kouzikowski, 563 00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:23,639 Yeah, I'm sorry, Edward Alan Mellow. That one's easy. Mateo 564 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,800 Cavalier also easy, and Michael Feinstein also easy. Sorry to everyone else who 565 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,400 doesn't have an easy name, and I'm horrible at pronouncing names, please forgive 566 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:37,760 me the nineteen hundred and seventy nine dollars Poker Hall of Fame bounty. Looks 567 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,800 like there's about fifteen players left out there. Jason James is leading the way 568 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,800 currently, there's more than four hundred and two thousand dollars up top. You 569 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,320 got Martin Zamani's in the field. Martin Jacobsen is in the field, Anthony 570 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,039 who is in the field and also Francis Anderson. PHILH. Halmuth finished in 571 00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:58,320 nineteenth place. King John Reard in the third took eighteenth place, got us 572 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,000 a couple more points he hit the field us, then he got the extra 573 00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:04,960 five for finishing in the top eighteen. I don't think that puts us in 574 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000 the lead fantasy, but it gets us points to close the gap between us 575 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,760 and Team Lady Gaga, and we will take any gap closing that we can 576 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,039 get. At this point, this thing's coming right down to the wire. 577 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:22,000 I absolutely love it. Let's go twenty five Omaha High Low Slash Stud High 578 00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:27,199 Low Mixed the tournament. That's gonna take nineteen thousand days. Because it's nine 579 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,880 thirty on day two of that tournament. They are not in the mind. 580 00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:36,480 It's insign It's absolutely wild. There are about seventy two players left from the 581 00:37:36,519 --> 00:37:39,039 four hundred and sixty that started two hundred and twenty one thousand dollars to first 582 00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:44,559 place. Sixty nine players will finish in the money. David bakes Baker is 583 00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:47,800 leading the way, Nick Papeale's out there and just Korn Karina, jet Eddie 584 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,519 Bloomenthal and Ron Ware are also all in the field pushing towards the cash to 585 00:37:52,599 --> 00:37:54,599 that one. I mean it's scheduled for a three day event. I'm not 586 00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:58,039 sure that happens, but you know, we'll be here for a couple of 587 00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:00,039 days. There's no big deal. Yeah, and we'll follow this one as 588 00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:04,760 we go underway today and we'll get into these a little bit more tomorrow. 589 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,039 We don't need to hit on them too much today. But the fifty hundred 590 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:12,639 Noelman hold him. The Closer event kicked off first of two starting fights. 591 00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:15,519 He had the one thousand dollars Flipping Go m Shawande won his way to the 592 00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:19,920 actual real tournament. Part of the head cashed, so he cashed. So 593 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,400 that's because we would complaining he was on the rail sweating Dan Wyman. But 594 00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:24,519 yeah, but he didn't have to he didn't have to go back to play 595 00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:28,480 the Flipping Go till like seven people. We might have spoke too soon. 596 00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:31,280 We're getting mad at him that he wasn't playing events, but he already cashed. 597 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,440 Well, yeah, you know, ten thousand dollars six Max Championship also 598 00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:39,760 underway. Um so tomorrow, um, we'll have day one B of the 599 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,360 Closer, three thousand dollar horse, the Flipping Goal will be continuing. The 600 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,800 six Max Championship will be continuing as well. UM, we'll get into more 601 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,199 of this stuff as we go. You know, we really wanted to focus 602 00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:52,920 on the main event today and then just kind of quickly run through what else 603 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,880 is going on. UM, we do have one more tournament to talk about. 604 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,400 It's not a WSP event. It doesn't have a gold bracelet. It 605 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,159 actually doesn't even have a WPT title for grabs. I guess, wait, 606 00:39:02,199 --> 00:39:06,159 does he do? No? Surely he won something, right? There was 607 00:39:06,159 --> 00:39:08,719 a trophy. There was the wind Trophy on the table as well as what 608 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,239 it looks like trophy. It looks like you know what it looked like. 609 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,920 It looked like the WPT Prime trophies, although bigger is what it looked like. 610 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,119 I did not see a cup. I did not see that. Look 611 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,800 exactly like that, just with a different set of engravy. I'm much bigger. 612 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,039 I did not see what that's special. There is a trophy. It 613 00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:30,239 looks like a very fancy sparkling water bottle. Look right there. Say that 614 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,920 it's like they got three trophies. That's all. This guy won three trophies. 615 00:39:35,079 --> 00:39:40,360 That's awesome. I'm very anti the multiple trophy thing one trophy. You 616 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,360 don't need multiple trophies. Why do you need you? He won one tournament, 617 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,400 he'd win three. I don't think he needs the WPT one. I 618 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,400 like the wind one wind do great trophies and the water bottles. Cool, 619 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,039 that's all you need a think. Listen, just collab with the venue. 620 00:39:54,039 --> 00:39:57,679 If the venue wants part of the trophy. Yeah, and like do some 621 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,800 special put them all together, merge him. Yeah, do something that They 622 00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:02,119 got that artist guy, and can't they go to him and be like, 623 00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:05,880 hey, design us for a trophy. Let's go yeah, yeah, exactly. 624 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,760 Well, the guy actually three trophies. He's gonna be showing him off. 625 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,719 Oh would you would you win for that one? Oh? The WPT 626 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,679 everyone at to win? Oh what about that one? Oh? Also the 627 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,960 WPT everyone to win. Oh you wanted two years? No, I actually 628 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,079 just want it once? What about that one? Oh? Also, w 629 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,480 oh you want it again? No? No, I won the same tournament. 630 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,119 They give me three trophies. I mean, what what are we doing? 631 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,480 Well, the man that would be talking about his trophies is beIN wing. 632 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,199 He wins another WPT title and two point five million dollars. He beat 633 00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:36,760 WPT Deep Sex champion Scott Balmacy and heads up third place, Nico Coop, 634 00:40:37,039 --> 00:40:40,000 Freddie hell A fourth, not the WPT Champions Club member at Domini Nishi in 635 00:40:40,159 --> 00:40:45,639 fifth, Tom CONNOLEI in six and guess what seventy five hands to crown a 636 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,920 champion at this found table. That is insane. Yeah. I had the 637 00:40:49,679 --> 00:40:52,239 I had the live stream on while I was driving into work. I was 638 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,280 not watching it. I just put it literally in my cupholder and I was 639 00:40:54,320 --> 00:41:00,119 listening to it um and the first like fifteen twenty minutes there was like three 640 00:41:00,199 --> 00:41:04,800 or four all ins. It was like going crazy. So so yeah, 641 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,519 so really fun fast final table overall. I actually want to go back and 642 00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:10,119 watch this one. Wasn't obviously able to watch it today, but you know, 643 00:41:10,159 --> 00:41:15,840 it'll be kind of in my post WSOP relax on the couch week. 644 00:41:16,039 --> 00:41:19,840 You know, I'll probably fire this one up and check it out. It's 645 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,079 always good to one be entertained. But also, you know, watching these 646 00:41:23,079 --> 00:41:25,960 final tables, I think is a good thing to be able to learn from, 647 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,039 you know, see what other players are doing out there, see what's 648 00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:30,639 allowing them to win. You know, maybe even like trying to see some 649 00:41:30,679 --> 00:41:35,519 mistakes that are being made, stuff that you catch trying to pick up on 650 00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:37,840 what other poets doing, all that sort of stuff. You know, great 651 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,159 learning tools out there.
