Hello, everyone, welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast.
My name in my triumphant return to the podcast chair is Donnie Peters.
Thank you very much everyone, Thank you. You can sit down now,
Yes, thank you. His name is Tim Duckworth. How'd you do without
me? Matt? It was easy? It was easy, he said a
little bit. You tweeted, Do I even need Donnie Peters? And the
answer is yes. And here's why the answer is yes, because without me
you would have no fn idea what to do. You would not have producer
Rich on board because I'm the one who got him hired. Okay, so
therefore you would have been flying blind. You would have never produced that podcast
on your own. So you do need me, Okay, you do you
need You need me at least for now. Okay, for AI tools out
there that can produce formy that's fine, and you would you wouldn't needed to
figure that all that stuff out. It is hard to talk to you.
So I don't know how people like Colin Coward did not do it. I
mean, those guys just love to talk, love to talk. Next time,
our good friend of poker Go, Nick Wright, is in the studio.
You should ask him, Yeah, how the hell do you talk to
you so for so long? On today's show, we have a special edition
of Community Cards. We have Talashakirchy leading the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship.
They are down to five players. In that event, Braxton Dunaway wins
the fifteen hundred dollar monster stack seven figure score. In that one, Jeremy
Osmos number six for Jeremy Osmos. Jay Lockett takes down the five hundred dollars
freeze out. There are two players remaining at least a time of recording right
now. In the fifteen hundred dollar mixed Omaha hi Lo, aarum Aganian leads
the final fifteen players and the three K no limit hold them. Fifteen hundred
dollar horse is playing down. I believe they just bagged up for the night.
I mean I would guess so, because they're putting chairs on top of
the table. Super Turbo bounty that drew well over two thousand entries will hit
on that. The Seniors Championship is absolutely bananas today, packed house here and
the PLO Championship underway, a record setting PLO Championship. I didn't get a
chance to check if it was right. I mean, I'm going by beatings,
Poker News dot com, slashap dot com. That's what I'm going off
of. So if they are the official live reporting team of the World Series
of Poker, then I will deem it as official. Okay, that's how

the poker radio audience near and far. It is now time for a brand
spanking, spiffy and new shout out to some of our most loyal listeners who
likely got a bit too lucky on the weight of the spotlight. You're listening
to the number one poker show in the land, and it's time for a
new edition of the Poker Go podcast Community Cards. I saw a tweet today,
you know, about a guy in town with his family visiting the World
Series of Poker, and you know, when you walk into Paris is a
big sign and there's a security guy that kids an't allowed. He was with
his daughter, you know, And I said, but we're at the tweet
said, we can't go any any further, but we're at the WSP shop.
Enjoined the atmosphere after watching every WSP classic streame on g I was like,
every that's a lot. I mean, I've watched it. I know
you've watched it. I really here other people watching, but this wasn't just
anyone. This was a you know, eleven year old girl seems to love
the WSP. I saw the tweet I responded, I said, let me
know when you're back here, I'll get a goodie bag. I prepped this
little goodie bag with a hoodie, a water bottle, a purple beanie,
purple beanie, some stickers and stuff, you know. And I also asked,
you know, do you have any favorite players? The dad responded,
you know Phil home with real coup pokers such. Anyway, we organized a
little a little meat meet up and I had some like special things. I
got the five four off suit. I went to Chris money Maker, got
him to sign the fire four off suit. That's his hand as his hand.
I went to Daniel Negrons by the way, Chris money Maker one of
her favorite players, Daniel Groner, another one of her favorite players, got
him to sign the ten seven off suit his favorite hands fair. Yeah.
You see where I'm going here, right and her Another favorite player of hers
was Phil Helmeth. I had a sign felt from Phil Helmeth. I framed
that Real Quick, also had a law McCarron and Norman Chad signed felt framed
that Real Quick, and I said, let's meet up. We met up
just outside the Paris entrance and I decided to play a game with her.
I tried to tell her knowledge. She was super super, super super nervous.
Her name was Kyrie. She loves poker, she loves the old stuff.
So he did a little did a little quiz, played a little game.
I gave her the goodie bag, and then you know, at the
shot, the guests, you know, some certain questions I gave her,
gave her these prizes, and you know, we recorded it. You know,
she was okay putting it on the podcast because her and her dad,
they listened to the pod in the car rides. They're in Vegas. They're
having fun. So that was it. That's the I mean, I mean,
I feel like I can't swear. Now. It's fine. She's watching
WS she's probably seeing the Chikan Mattis album. You know, wearing a hand
you need to shut the gun. Oh oh, what did you say,
Mike? Mike? Would you say, Mike, did you say something?
I'm not asking questions? Jack? Did you hear what he just said?
What was her said? He said, I mean no, her hand shut
the cup. So they didn't Okay, just put that those words on air.
But she was super nervous. We did the quiz I got I got
a message from her dad off to saying she's so mad that she missed one
of the answers because she knew it, but she was just like so nervous
at the time because like I basically put her on the spot, Like you
can see some of the fundos were recording or was in a busy hallway.
But yeah, she's a super big poker fan. And hopefully producer Rich can
have fun with this interview and maybe put some you know, Jeopardy music in
there or something and kind of make the little segment go pretty well, you
know, give us some information on you and why you're the biggest poker fan.
Oh, I ames Kyrie and my dad plays poker, so and we
play in the basement sometimes. So yeah, and I watched Poker Gol and
I met Phil Helmis last time we came to Vegas and that was really cool.
We've got some some swag here for you. We've got some special gifts.
I can ask you some trivia questions. Okay, first one, who
did Chris money Maker beat to win the main event? Come about this next
question? This is gonna be a hard one. Okay. What is Daniel
Agrando's favorite hands? Ten? Which one? Okay, let's sing him out
of question. All right, this is an easy one. Which country is
Daniel Legrando Front Canada? Okay, so we have some signed Daniel m'grando cause
his favorite hand is ten seven, so he signed ten seven. Chris money
Maker one the main event with five four, so five four signed. So
there's that. Okay. Two more special gifts. Can you name the two
main commentators on WSOP classic episodes? Maybe your dad can help. Um starts
with an art to thee I knew, Um. I think we'll call him
dad for this one. Who is it that? Norman Chad and Law McCarron.
Okay, we have sign Felt with Lan and Norman Chad. So that's
yours two. Okay, pretty awesome. Last one, this is the best
one. Are you ready? Yeah? Phil Hellmuth has how many WSP bracelets?
That's pretty close. It was sixteen, but seeving guess this on.
Do you know Phil Helmer's favorite hand pocket? Nice? There it is,
okay, final gift here all this one more time, sign Phil helmet Felt
for you. You guys can put that up in your office, your bedroom,
put that down by the poker table in the base. There you go.
And then a couple, a couple of gifts. We've got a little
water bottle for you, a nice purple beanie, it's my favorite beanie.
Got a deck of cards in here, and we have a little jacket.
So that's all for you. Thank you for watching Pucker Go, and thank
you for being a big fan. Let's just here for the fans, you
know me. I got to give a shout out to everyone who has come
and asked us for a hat or given us the password family Pot to ask
us for a hat. Unfortunately, we don't have any more hats right now,
so we're trying to get them. They should be here soon. I
guess what's the latest update? Soon? Hold Tuesday last week? I mean
soon. Now it's Thursday morning, one am. We have an email that
says they have not you know, our producer of the of the items haven't
received the hats yet, but hopefully once they do, the turnaround should be
twenty four to forty eight hours. Yea, so hopefully we're So if you're
in Vegas and you have come up to us and you have said Family Pot,
we don't have a hat yet, which we've explained to you in person.
If you continue to find us yes, probably. If we don't get
the hats by Friday, I would say, anyone that come up to us,
Family Pot, you and I are just gonna need to take out down
names and addresses and start shipping these things out when they actually get here,
because everyone that comes up to us and says the password family Pot deserves a
hat, and we want to get you a hat. I know some of
you guys are going to be in town for a few days, so hopefully
you get the hat if it comes while you're still in town. If not,
and you find us, we'll take down your name and address and we'll
get that hat out to you. You know, once we get the collection
in, we'll put some aside for all you guys to mail them out to
you, and we will get those out to you. So that's the plan
with the hats. I know you didn't listen to the Solio pod last night
out of protests, but I think I mentioned the winner of last week's throwing,
Raymond. He wants a signed hat, a signed hat, signed by
you and me. Well, the hat's black, we're gonna we'll get the
silver sharts. Yeah, okay, so we need a reserve one from him.
I told him. You know the value of us going to go down
plummeting to zero. But if he wants that, we'll sign a for him.
Maybe we will send him a signed one in a non signed on Yeah,
let's do that. That's right. I mean after I win like six
gold bracelets at some point in my career, that that signed one's gonna go
way up in value? Is this on? Like probably after you and I
win, when the team, it's gonna be way up there. Let's let's
just talk about that. Are we've playing together? Yeah, we're gonna play
it together. It starts tomorrow at two pm. I really had no idea
what time it started or when the heck this thing was. I was basically
on my deathbed yesterday. It was a twenty four hour sickness. Feel great
right now. A little bit low on energy throughout the day, but I
pumped myself full of all different kinds of juice and energy liquids and immunity shots
and ginger turmeric and all this sort of crap. I feel great right now.
Um, so we're in well the ta okay. The tag team event
on basically dot com says twelve pm. Just letting you know, you told
me two pm. Well, the plug I'm moved today. I'm wondering if
it's a preemptive move. Well, this also it says twelve pm on the
structure seat. But what I'm saying is the plogo move today due to the
seniors. I'm wondering if this is a preemptive move by the WSP and then
they'll just announce it tomorrow. How can you announce it tomorrow? The tournament
starts soon. Floor, tell me two pm. You get a floor.
I would not trust them, Okay. They also tried to rule that that
lady didn't put in the call and that she raised, which was one hundred
percent not true in the two K so that definitely didn't happen here on time.
I'm looking at their Twitter right now because I'm trying to see if they
possibly have anything. I could probably just send a message to keV Matt to
figure that out. I mean, this doesn't say this has important notes about
the tantent event. It doesn't say anything about it starting at whatever time,
So I think it starts a new Okay, I'll be there, so we
gotta be there new. But yeah, but we're gonna play, We're gonna
win. I mean, I'm calling it now. It's gonna be glorious.
Can't wait. We should probably go a register tonight. I agree. So
yeah, that's the plan with the tag team event. All right, let's
get into the actual news and happenings, the actual important off fifty thousand dollars
poker players Championship, ninety nine entries more than one point three million dollars for
first place. There are five players remaining because phil Ivey absolutely torched it.
What about Ivy? With six players left under the gun, they're playing nola
and hold them. Phil Ivey's got I think it was eighteen point seven five
big blinds pocket threes. He just moves all it. What I mean,
what phil what are you doing? Like? Just fold the threes? Like,
no, you just fold the threes. You don't play threes, you
just fold them, Like, just fold them. There's no point in playing
threes at that stage. Just put them in the muck. Just end of
story. There's threes, don't flop. Well, you gotta play on a
position against a bunch of other pretty good players. I understand you know you're
probably like thinking you're you're better than those players that nola and hold them.
But I mean, Talasha Kerchie certainly knows what he's doing. Brian Rass certainly
knows what he's doing. Like you know, it's not going to be the
easiest spot to play. Just fold your three. He's into the muck.
They go, into the muck, they go. You don't like eighteen point
seven five big lines is a pretty good stack. You don't need to do
it to La Shakirchi has ace Jack of clubs. He ends up calling the
shove flops an ace our guy, Phil Ivy, the guy everyone was rooting
for, the ten time Gold Bracelet winner going for his eleventhsp Gold bracelet.
Bus out in sixth place to Lasha Kirchi takes a pretty large chip lead into
the final five on Thursday. He's going to be leading the way over Matthew
Ashton, James Opst, Brian Rast and Christopher Tong. This final table will
stream on poker Go. Starts at three pm Las Vegas time, That is
six pm on the East Coast, So tune on in to watch the finale
of this very very very prestigious event. We streamed all day today. We
streamed all day yesterday. We date three Yesterday was remco and Kevin Gerhardt doing
the duties. Remco was solo for a little bit while Kevin went and put
a stack into the fifty hundred dollar horse and then busted. Sounds like somebody
just won something over there. That is the fifty hundred mixed Omaha High low.
UM can't tell if the person doesn't seem like the person won the tournament
because he just sat back down. It looks like a double that is going
on across the room. The only thing left in this room tonight other than
us podcasting and then today uh I did commentary alongside Kevin Garhart. Kevin Gerhart
is an absolute saint for sitting alongside us letting us learn some of his knowledge.
I don't think I've ever learned so much from listening to someone talk about
poker. Then I have Kevin Garhard every time he talks mixed game strategy.
Last year, if you were with us when we did the stud eight final
table, Remco and I Kevin Gerhart was with us the whole time till that
thing went to the early early hour of the morning. But learned a lot
there. I learned a lot yesterday while laying on my couch being half sick
listening to Kevin Gerhart talk with Remco and then today just being alongside Kevin Gerhart
listened a lot to him. So if you are interested in learning mixed games
in mixed game strategy, you can check out those streams of Day three and
Day four on the PokerGO YouTube channel and you will learn a lot from it.
Trust me. Tomorrow's final table, the players are guaranteed I think three
hundred and three thousand dollars total. Phil Ivy busting out in sixth place.
He took home two hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars, so pretty good score
for Ivy, but ultimately not the finish that he would want. He would
want to of course go on and win. Talashakerchi is leading. He's got
ten point one seven million in chips. Matthew Ashton second. Matthew Ashton,
a former winner in the fifty KPPC, going for title number two in the
event. He's got seven point three eight million. Then it's James Opst in
third place with five point one million, and then Brian Rast. Brian Rast
a two time winner in the fifty k PPC, a five time gold race
the winner overall. He's going for his six career gold bracelet, his third
time winning the PPC. I mean, to me, I feel like Brian
Rast is he has to be the Hall of Fame front runner. I feel
like it's him for me, it's it's like him, probably Patrick Antonius,
Daniel Lahy, Like. I think those are the guys in the mix right
now. Yeah, and like and Josh are probably. I mean my thing
with why don't quite put Aria there yet? Not that Ari's not gonna get
in, because I think Ari is going to get in, It's just this
year, who am I putting in? I think it's those other guys ahead
of someone like Aria, ahead of someone like Ozmus, you know. I
mean, Brian Rast has the super high stakes cash game play. I mean,
the fact that he's already won two PPC titles is just out of control.
And then of cour he could possibly win a third UM behind Brian Rast.
Bringing up the rear in this five handed battle tomorrow is Christopher Tong,
a high stakes cash game player mostly high stakes ashame player, lives in Texas.
UM he is I believe he's thirty seven years old. Um. He
credits uh having kids and being able to help his parents, as is the
greatest accomplishments in life. Has a fiance who was here for much of the
final day or day four today watching him play. So yeah, that's a
Christopher Tong. He like joked with I think he was joking with Ivy where
he like I think Ivy asked him, like, do you play these games
a lot? Christopher Tong said no, which is just flat out lie.
Like if you look at his hendimb, he doesn't have a ton of results,
but the majority of them are mixed games. In like twenty thirteen,
I think it was he came second to Mike Grodinski in the Twente event,
the event everyone hates by the way, like no one likes that turn.
They all just play it anyway. But he came second to Mike Gardinski there.
He has like some horse cashes, some other mixed game cashes. So
yeah, he plays, He plays the games. He knows what he's doing.
He was talking about possibly playing some high stakes cash on either Hustler maybe
World Poker Tour of like maybe some PLO high stakes cash, but he was
saying on the stream that he might not do it because he thinks that he's
vulgar when he talks mean, I'm vulgar when I talk, I swear a
lot whatever, but he was perfect. Yeah, He's like, He's like,
I don't really want to embarrass myself on TV, so I might just
not play those games. So so yeah, so he was talking about that
stuff on the livestream today. Livestream is very fun. As I said again
to Losher Kirchi is leading the way. That fifty k PPC final table six
pm Eastern time, three pm Pacific time on Poker Go on Thursday, June
twenty second. Tune in, do not miss it. Fifteen monster stack,
eight thousand, three hundred and seventeen entries. Hell up, I mean that's
just a massive field, more than eleven hundred dollars eleven hundred more than one
point one million dollars for first place. Braxton Dunaway taking it down winning his
first WSP goal. Bracelet said his kids are at little league. What is
this, okay? I blowing off the fam. Only you and I are
allowed to blow off the fam. I interviewed him yesterday. He was the
one that doubled up through Joe Cotter on the last hand of the night.
Joke out up bluffing on the last hand of the night. Dunaway had second
pack cold all in for his tournament Lafe on the River. Yeah, he
told me, you know, it's great to make the final table. He's
just missing his kids who are at a Little League World Series today. I
wonder if we have a winner over the That sounds awesome. When I went
to break, I want it to sound like that. Okay, that's what
I want. What's gonna happen in the tag team a bit? Yeah,
it is right, that is right. Um, but yes, his kids,
his kids and wife are in Omaha, Nebraska a Little League World Series.
I think his son or sons won two games today, so there's like
five more to go or something like that. Yeah, it looks like we
definitely have a winner of a William Leffingwell defeats Zen Sai Zen Kai. Yeah,
and final table one mixed on Maha High Low, so I guess we'll
touch on that soon. Yeah, anyway, kids are a Little League World
Series gets through, wins his first WSP bracelet and over one point one six
million dollars that final table. So I couldn't watch it. It did stream
on poker Grow, so if you are a poker grow subscriber, you can
go to Poker Grow and you can check out the on demand version of the
final table. Kevin and I were doing commentary on the fifty k PPC Day
four so we could watch that final table. It sounded like madness, Like
every twenty minutes, it sounded like they were going to tear down the stage.
It was just the Monster's deck every single year delivers like the most epic
final table. It just madness. I mean, it's largely because it's a
fifteen hundred dollar buying you know. I know they have on the schedule the
Mini Main Event, but in a lot of ways, this is the mini
miniment because because of the way that the structure plays out, like you can
only enter twice. Okay, I know the Mini Main Event itself is a
freeze out, but this one it's a little bit more of a drawn out
structure. In the days, it's four or five days long, you know,
So the play is deep, the play is long. It's a lot
of It's a tournament where a lot of more recreational or amateur players come out,
they fire their fifteen hundred dollars in, they try and win a boatload
of money. Last year it was Mike Jukis who won nine hundred and sixty
six thousand dollars and jumped on the table after he wants this year one point
one six million dollars for a Dunaway. It sounded like somebody was jumping on
the table, if not twenty people were jumping on the table. He had
a massive raym just loud, energetic, it was. It was just insane
out here. He hit two three out us ace queen versus King twice.
He hit the queen wow um, And that was probably the charing you were
hearing from back in. Yeah, it sounded epic. It's definitely one of
those that I want to go back and watch and I will do so.
But you were able to speak to Dunaway afterwards, so we will play that
interview for you now. Braxton, congratulations. Wsp brace that. When I
spoke to you yesterday and I said, you know, I want to feel
that policy is probably two hundred pizza a minute, I didn't think we could
have topped it, but we did. Right, You're a brace that when
I how are you feeling right now? Deep down inside? Oh? I
feel amazing. I'm not gonna lie. It's it's like a culmination of a
bunch of hard work, and just like I said, heartache and bad things,
you know, like when you when you play, you know you don't
it didn't always go your way kind of thing. So it's just nice too.
A lot of things didn't go my way yesterday on a lot of rivers
and things like that, and I just stayed. I stayed really even keeled
and didn't let it really get to me. And just I just was kind
of in the like the slot, so to speak. I just you know,
you know, in a good zone where it didn't bug me, and
I knew that I was just going to keep playing and where the chips fell,
played my best and see what happens. You know. I got lucky
a few times tonight, which was awesome. But you have to do an
these things. I mean, you just said things didn't go your way yesterday,
but I felt today at the final table of things he touched on,
it went your way. Nearly every time. I feel the same, you
know, other than maybe one, uh all in race with Jesse, who
was a great opponent. I mean, everybody was super super great at the
table. I thought we had a pretty good table and and everybody was,
you know, playing our best and no, there was no like animosity or
anything. I think everybody was just trying to win, you know, and
one can and I'm just very fortunate and that it was me. I must
say that at the World Series so far, where you know, several weeks
in your rail is without doubt the number one loudest, most energetic rail.
It was pretty amazing to win in front of all your friends, right,
Oh, it was awesome. And several flew out today just that we play
poker, I mean weekly together and like I said, a lot of time
away from family and things like that. You know, poker is not a
very social sport, so when we're when we're playing poker, I'm away from
the wife and kids. And she's very understanding. So um yeah, a
lot of really good friends that are rooting for me, Ivan, several flu
out just to watch today, and I'm just glad that I was able to
come out on top. I want to touch on the wife and kids.
I know you mentioned them yesterday. I think you said your kids a little
league tournament in Omahara something and unfortunately you're missing that right now. But as
a consolation prize, WSP brace of us are getting to see your kids,
you know, swing the bat. It's it's it's pretty pretty good prize.
I feel like absolutely, and I am headed there to watch so I get
to kill you know, two birds, one stone. It works out,
I get to do both. So and I plan to come back out here
and for sure play the main So that's one of my favorite tournaments. You
know, once you play that kind of structure, it's just just like this.
This was great, And I will say that all the WSOP, all
you guys, everybody's been so nice and accommodating and trying to work with everybody,
and with such a huge field, I can't imagine how much logistics goes
into that. So, I mean, just props to everybody. It was
just fun. It's just awesome. Do you consider that that incredible call that
he pulled off against Joe Kata heading into this final day and then coming out
on top of it all just a wild wild ride. Four dunawaysp online thirty
two hundred dollars, no limit hold Them high Roller six max three twenty one
entries more than three hundred and sixty thousand dollars for first place, and it
was Jeremy Osmas capturing his sixth WSP gold bracelet his fifth of SP gold bracelet
in twenty one months. Yes, new record. What's this record? The
record was five bracelets in twenty four months by Gary Bones bell And and Doyle
Brunson and Ozmas has smashed that twenty one months. Crazy pretty cool chance.
Corneth finished in fourth place. Karai Aldemir got six, Tom Markazy and Jason
Coon also went deep. We got to give a shout out to our man,
Ian Steinman eighteenth place four the twenty five K Fantasy Squad. Ian Steinman
picks up. I believe eight points for us, a much needed eight points
will take it way to go. Ian, you are the best one dollar
player in the universe right now, keep it up. Let's go after or
today. Actually, because that played online, you know, we were kind
of sweating it online. A lot of big names off carry Katz went deep
as well. Yeah he did. Um he's got a fun name, shark
Bait eight I believe is his name. So a lot of big names as
you would expect in a thirty two hundred dollar buying online events. Um.
I think Nick Schulman went fairly deep as well. Kupeshka to Silva was also
in there. So yeah, a lot, a lot of big names were
running deep in this one. Um. You caught up with Jeremy today day
after I did what was he playing today? Well, he's playing multiple events
of course, he uh, you know, I sent him. I sent
him a DM and I was like, hey, I know you. You
know, whenever you wake up, maybe I can grab you for a few
minutes before you play the plo he sends. He's sending me one particularly says,
I'm actually going to go play the super tuber Bounty for POY. This
is an insane person going down. Jeremy Osmins, by the way, another
person who's neglecting his family during the summer. Yeah, just like him and
I. Um, so I went down to meeting with that. You know,
the timing didn't work. He said, let me jump in this and
then we'll talk a break or in the plo. He busted that in.
I felt like seven minutes, um, and then he was in the PLO.
But I got him before that, and uh yeah, this is the
interview. Congratulations Jeremy sixth WSP bracelet. He told me the line five am
finish time. You still look a little sleepy. I guess how you How
does it feel just to win out six bracelet. Uh kind of surreal,
you know. Um, I woke up this morning and even last night after
I won. It's it's different when you do it online. No one's they're
around, and uh, yeah, it's just it's wild. I won that
thing like it's you know, quite a it was a big prize. It's
it's the most I've ever won online, I think in a tournament by maybe
double or something. So yeah, I'm tired, I'm out of it,
but it's it's really feels really good. Obviously, thirty two hundred dollar buys
pretty big for WSP dot com. And you can kind of tell who was
kind of remaining in the last fifteen. You know, Jason Kern, there
was Kry out of me, there was Tom Matchasy, you and Chance.
So pretty stacked field, so pretty deserving win. I would say, yeah,
yeah, sure, I mean it's to be expected in higher buy in
field, like you know, tournament like that that you're gonna there's a little
surprise to see Jason there, but because he skips a lot alive like ten
K's and twenty five seven. But uh, but yeah, and then you
have some old let you know, Marques in there, which he I don't
see him around playing anymore at all, so to be expected. You know
they're they're good players, are gonna make it there for sure. You want
your first bracelet. I think it was ten years ago this year, and
then there was a little bit we want to call it a college streake,
but a little bit of a you know, loll in gould. But you
know, five, we've had five wins, five WSB bracelets in twenty one
months, which I'm a bit of a stat nut is a record. Previous
best was Doyle Brunson and Gary Berland won five in twenty four months, so
you kind of hold that record, nest I would say, an incredible accomplishment.
Yeah, it's it's unreal. I mean to win, you know,
just win one's amazing. And now I've won two at the two previous wsops,
which is like unreal. Then I just want another one. Maybe I
can, Maybe I can do it again, and you can tell me more
cool stats about what I've done. I'd be cool. I kind of want
to know. Obviously, when we talk about people's careers and stuff, everyone
wants to talk about Hall of Fame, winning the main event, winning the
PPC, you have six bracelets, but what you know, what would you
like to achieve? That's you know, kind of realistic in your times.
I don't know, I mean just you know, first and foremost, I
just played to make money and as a game I loved and everything like that.
And then, um, I used to play a lot of cash tournaments.
We were you know, sporadically here and there. But now I just
kind of went full time tournaments and you know, the results are coming in,
so at the end of the day, I don't know. Um,
I just try to get in there and play my best, and I'd love
to win more bracelets. I'd like to win WPT. I've never done that.
I don't go to every stop. I'd love to win more Poker Go
championships things like that. And I feel like I'm without a doubt at the
top of my game, and I feel like I can, you know,
likely keep winning. You touched on you know, spending a lot of good
career playing cash games, you know here in Vegas or whatever, that time
between winning your first and winning the next, you know, nearly ten year,
nearly eight years, do you kind of regret maybe not being like all
in on the tournaments? And you know you could easily have potentially seven,
eight, nine, ten braces now a little bit, you know, M
yeah, I probably I'm safe to assume i'd have more right on one more
at least or something. But you know, during the series, though I
would play a lot of tournaments, I wouldn't. I would still play a
little cash, but it was more there just the rest of the year I
would play cash games. So I don't know if I missed out on much
during the WSP. Since I've made the ft in twenty twelve, I've kind
of went pretty hard during the WSP for tournaments. So yeah, I've been
there in their train. So six bracelets, you know, two online,
we have a PLO high roller, we have that wanting in Europe, the
COVID, the COVID bracelet, that limit. Is there any of these six
that, like you kind of treasure the most, the win the moment.
I mean, it would have to be the fifty k Ploum would just have
to be the one. It was an epic final table, I know that,
you know that, you know everyone knew was there, just legends galore,
the antics at the table, the the three handed with two guys who
I've you know, admired and looked up to for since before I got into
poker. Um enable to best them, and that was that was definitely you
know, as a high roll or bracelet. That was without a doubt,
the coolest one of probably the cool one of the coolest poker experience I've ever
had outside of final tabling the main event, those are kind of the two.
But um, yeah, I send your messages Mounting, Hey you got
a few minutes, call me if you can. He said, Well,
I'm gonna go play the fifteen hundreds super too, Bounty. You know,
I want to chase Poy now that you got that bracelet and a couple of
other cash, a couple of other results. Is this you know? Are
you are we all land on chining to you know, maybe get py add
that to that list of accomplishments. I think. So that is something that
I would like to to win eventually, which I didn't bring up a minute
ago. It'd be cool to do, I don't go, It's really hard.
Like dan Zach and the ground here and Sean Deep from the get go,
they're multitabling and firing everything. This year, specifically, I decided to
do a reduce schedule folcus on the high rollers, skip all the small stuff
now that I have to you know, fifth or fourth or first, I
kind of feel like I need to be in there grinding because it'd be it'd
be cool to win the poy And honestly, you just have to put in
a lot of volume. Two min cashes are worth quite a bit things like
that, so I likely be in here more than I have been. Yeah,
final question for me two online bracelets. A lot of people at this
say, hey, these online bracelets don't count. Obviously you might be a
little biased having to do you think, you know, whether it's an online
bracelet, whether it's a live bracelet, it's just still it's still WSP gone
in your mind it should be everyone's mind. Um, I don't think so.
I honestly don't think the WSP bracelets should should count. I should I
think they shouldn't have WSP bracelet events honestly because online yes, because there's just
you just never know for sure who's playing the account, and I don't know.
I kind of wish they would have taken a route of like different levels
of b like a gold, platinum, gold, silver, bronze bracelet type
thing where the online ones where silvers or something and the lowest buy in ones
are bronze or silver or something, and the high rollers or maybe platinum.
I think that would have been a cool model to do because honestly, they
gave more away in UM because to me, the World Series is here,
live in person, playing with people UM and last year they gave way more
bracelets online than they did anywhere else. And then certain people you can't even
play them, you know, if you're not in a vat in New Jersey
or if you can't play on gig. I don't like the online bracelet thing,
and they're running more and more of them all the time. I think
it's I think it's kind of silly, but it's you know, that's what
they're doing. Well, quick follow up question, I know I did said
that's my final question. UM. You know, there was that incident with
you a couple of months ago. In that event, I think you finished
runner up in and you talk about not knowing who some of these people are
or trusting their accounts. So when you're playing a big buy in like you
did last night, obviously we know some using names we don't know others.
Have you approach someone you see, and you just I've never seen that name.
I can't find any information. Are you a little worrisome or are you
just assuming it's just maybe some of euro that's in town that's just in the
event. Yeah, it's that. I mean that comes up every time you're
deep in one of these, you know, and me and the people I
know will message you said the Hey, who's this? You know a new
thing about this guy? And honestly, I just think cheating is a legitimate
concern these days. So I just kind of try to watch and see how
they play. I see what kind of results they have online, if they
if they've ever played live. So yeah, I just think there's certain things
that are somewhat suspicious. But it's really hard to say, like with certainty
someone is cheating or anything like that. But I think in certain cases you
can make a very strong argument for that being the case. But but yeah,
you know, at the end of the day, I know what I'm
getting into when I sign up, and I know that's a possibility and something
I'm cognizance of, and I still want to play, you know, Good
for him, good for Team no Gamble. In the future. In twenty
five k fantasy as they continue to climb their way up from the bottom.
Slowly but surely, they're making some moves. This is one reason why I
am not confident that we're going to totally get there. I know we're doing
well. I know we're up towards the top of the leaderboard, but it's
not over till it's over five hundred dollars no limit, hold him freeze out
huge field of five thousand, three hundred and forty two entries in this one
two hundred and sixty two thousand dollars up top for the winner. Jay Lockett
turned his second ever cash, second ever WSP cash just cash, yeah,
according to him. According to hending him off, second ever cash legendary Jay
Lockett, I mean, hurry up and check it. I'm I'm I'm wondering
if he has like a Jason Lockett who cares, but like, yeah,
who cares? We're running run with now this, We're gonna run with a
Jay Lockett second ever cash into WSOP gold. Good for you, mister Lockett.
We have a Natalie Body interview because this was streamed on the on Poker
Grow. As I said, no, this wasn't jing Poker Grow. Now
this okay, so sorry. Yes, this is one of those like cutaways,
Natalie, go interview this person over here. That's what happened. It
was such a great interview that I was like, I can't beat this.
I can't trump this interview. All right, clip this. Let's put this
in the podcast that Natalie makes our interview debut on the Poker Dot podcast.
I like it. Well, Jay, we just spoke and you told me
that this was your second career tournament cash before your best cash was about nineteen
hundred dollars. How does over a quarter of a million dollars in a World
Series of Poker bracelet sound? It sounds unbelievable. This wasn't supposed to happen.
You know. Somebody on the flight on the way I asked out what
I was going to do, and I said, I'm find out to play
in the World Series of Poker. And they said, are you any good?
And I said no, I'm dead money going in. And I mean,
come on, I'm a poker nobody from Austin. We put up fences
and decks and we're awesome and this is amazing and we're just we're thrilled.
You went on the dream run I mean over five thousand entrants, and then
there was one. You made it all the way through biggest career cash.
We mentioned the bracelet. How would you describe what this means? It's just
someone out there who was inspired by what you just accomplished. I mean,
literally take it from me. You can do this. I mean you have
to run so incredibly hot. I had quads twice at the final table.
I had ace queen that ended up beating a s king earlier today. There
was a number of times I was all in on day one that I shouldn't
have held. I held, and it's just it's stupid. It's awesome,
It's so much fun, and I can't thank you guys enough. This is
amazing. Thank you Natalie for doing the work of Tim and I. We
appreciate it, and we'll see you probably tomorrow or the next day or something
like that. Here fifteen hundred dollar mixed Omaha one thousand, ninety one entries,
two hundred and fifty three thousand dollars for first place. Those loud noises
that you might have heard earlier on the podcast, William Leffingwell taking it down.
He defeats zen Kai and heads up place Shawn Deeb finished in fifth place,
Raj Vorha sixth, Benjamin Minor in seventh place. I had Benjamin Wyer
plays a lot in our studios. I played a lot with him actually in
the two K deep in the two K, he's sitting right next to me,
so we chatted a little bit. He was very well versed in tanking
to get into the money, which can't blame him. I mean, I
get it. You know, he made the money with not many chips at
all, so he was able to get into the money with That was fun
sitting next to Benjamin Minor, Seawan Deeb doing it for the team. I
believe he gets us forty points with this finish. Don't think he was too
happy busting out in fifth place. I think he really did want to win
this one, but five handed he lost a big pot to Joey Coudin,
who ended up finishing the third place and then you know her fourth place.
Sorry, Shawn Deeb went out in fifth place, so he'll have to chase
another gold bracelets his seventh in another event. And we have a bunch of
PLO coming up, the ten K PLO Championship, which I think deep hopped
right into is going on today or started today and then registration in that is
open until tomorrow. So with all this PLO stuff coming up, this deep
run here in the mixed Omaha, I feel like Sean deeb is just getting
started. I can't wait. But William Leffingwell is the man who took this
one down again two hundred and fifty three thousand dollars for the win he deveats
zen Kai. Zenkai made it. Debis we may event found table before?
He is best friends with Tony Miles. Yeah, he's member. It was
Tony Miles made made the found table one year, then Zenkai made another year.
So good on William Leffingwell for coming out on top. Also very good
run for Zenkai finishing in second place three thousand dollars no limit hold him Cadillac
of Poker Baby seventeen hundred and thirty five entries seven hundred and seventeen thousand dollars
for first place. There are fifteen players left. Aram A Ganyan nine point
nine million. He is the chip leader, Shannon Shore second and chips Shannon
Shore finally going to do it. Maybe the year of Shannon Shore finally eight
point seven five million for him, Yang Zang his third six point eight seven
five and kush Mondavia, John van Fleet, Alex Lynsky all still remain.
The players left are guaranteed just Shy of thirty one thousand dollars Espen Jorsad,
last year's main event champion, he Ran Deep finished in twenty first place.
Elliott Houdun, who won the WPT World Championship in December for four million dollars,
He finished in twenty seventh place. Stanley Lee thirty seventh, Pen forty
fifth, David odb Baker fifty second, and Daniel Legrandnew fifty fourth fifteen hundred
dollar horse. There are twenty eight players remaining. This tournament had eight hundred
and thirty six entries over two hundred and seven thousand dollars. Four first place
Yuri Zevlevski, Urie Martin's, Urie Nerd Guy whatever you want to call him,
the Brazilian in Superstar, he is leading the way. You got Randy
Ohel, Jeff Schulman, Scott Baumstein, Dylan Lyndy, Andrew Barber, Frankie
O'Dell anson Sang and Mark Gregorich all still in the mix. Again. That
is the fifteen hundred dollar horse tournament. The one thousand dollars Seniors Championship got
underway today. That is one of the reasons why Horseshoe and Paris was absolutely
packed for much of today. So last year in this tournament they had seven
thousand, one hundred and eighty eight entries on day one A. Last year
they had three thousand, two hundred and six entries. This year Day one
A three thousand, six hundred ninety two entries that months. That is a
fifteen percent increase year over year on the first starting flight. So tomorrow is
gonna be freaking huge. It's gonna be a madhouse in here. I can't
wait to see it. It's a lot of fun. And shout out to
any twice leaving the horse shoot today as the seniors, I mean going.
Brian rast like came back. He came back late at one point for the
fifty k PPC because it was such a madhouse in here and he got stuck
like in the bathroom getting through. Um. So yeah, um, yeah,
tomorrow is gonna be madness with that. But shout out to all the
podcast listeners who are out there. I've met some of you today. Yeah,
in this year's event. Hopefully I can meet some more of you tomorrow.
Hopefully some of you guys go deep. Let's go fifteen hundred dollars Super
Turbo Bounty two thousand, two hundred and twenty six entries more than two hundred
and seventy thousand dollars for first place. There are seventeen players remaining at the
time of recording. They played this one to a winner, right, they
played to a winner. Um Francis Bijou leads the way. Nikita whose nets
cough is still in Alejandro Lococos in Oh my god, he's probably going nuts
over there. Jesus, this is such a fun terment. I can't believe
I had to miss this one. Dame in Salas got thirty fifth place in
this one, trying to look through to see miss Antoine Sau got fifty first,
just missed out on the final two tables. Who says WSP Player of
the YEA candidate Michael Rodriguez, Really, yeah, there you go. So
he's making some runs this year. I mean, this one is always a
fun one to watch. It plays just super fast, just blast last last.
He might have ran deep in the one K or the fifteen hundred.
I can't remember he ran deep in one of the super Turbo bounties, yeah,
and I can't remember if it was the one that I played with him
in. I played the one k and he was at my starting table,
which was the last one. Yeah, so it might have been that one
or it could have been the fifteen hundred. Either way, haven't seen Namar
here this year yet. At least ten thousand dollars PLO Championship underway, six
hundred and eighty four entries at least in that one, which means a record
setting turnout, topping last year's record setting an event six hundred and eighty three.
So um where I think registration is open until the start of day two,
is that correct? And yeah, so this this is gonna be over
seven hundred for sure. Last year it was Sean Troha, who's actually good
friends with Kevin Gerhardt. I found out today Sean Troha won this event last
year for more than one point two million dollars. He won his second goal,
right, So this year in another PLO event, I'm sure he's out
there blasting and this ten k once again an extremely good PLO player. He
also won a PGTPLO Series tournament, So I expect Sean Troha to make some
ways as we move into sort of the PLO portion of the WSP schedule.
What's coming up? Well, we got the Day one B of the one
thousand dollars Seniors Championship on Thursday. We also have the one thousand dollars Tag
Team event. That's the one Tim and I are going to go blast our
money off in. We're gonna win. We're gonna win, but we're also
gonna blast our money off in it. You have the twenty five hundred dollar
Mixed Triple Jow event. I know Kevin Gerhart's going to be in that one.
I saw odb is pumped for that one as well. On Friday,
fifteen hundred dollar Millionaire Maker kicks off another one of those long drawn out,
affordable, huge prize pool, huge payday, no limit hold them events.
Can't we just see one? No, no, no, I'm not getting
that. It just takes too much time for me. Yeah, I would
love to get in that one. I would love to play that Monster Stock.
I would love to play that one. They look awesome every single year
they offer a ton of play. Um, I just can't with what we're
doing with everything for commentary and that sort of stuff. I just can't take
the time away from it. And then we also have the ten thousand dollar
Horse Championship. I believe that kicks off on Friday as well. Yes it
does U So yeah, so a lot of big things coming up. Um,
of course we're gonna have Day two tomorrow of the ten KPLO Championship.
That's one that you know a lot of us with some fantasy sweats are going
to be watching. A lot of people that are you know, sweating.
The big names here at the WSP are going to be watching that one.
So actually, I'm gonna check out the chip counts. Let me check out

eighty nine exactly that. That was a shit show. That looked like a
massive madhouse. I think all those all the the fins and everything are back
from the US Open. They're done golfing. They in the field. They
probably put six bullets in each because that's what they do. Ye. So
yeah, who won that event? Do we know? Ian Bradley? Ian

the bag. That is the goal. So yeah, yeah, all right,
