52
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:18,240
get into what happened today on the
first day of the twenty twenty three World

53
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,480
Series of Poker Main Event Final Table. It was a fun day. It

54
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,160
was an exciting day. We lost
six players en route to Day two.

55
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,279
Action kicked off the cards were in
the air at two pm Las Vegas time.

56
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,319
The live stream got underway an hour
later at three pm Los Vegas time.

57
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:45,560
Falling first was Daniel Holsner in ninth
place, taking home nine hundred thousand

58
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,759
dollars. Holsner wasn't the short step
coming into play. That was Toby Lewis,

59
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,279
but Toby Lewis chipped up a little
bit early. Daniel Holsner lost a

60
00:04:55,439 --> 00:05:00,959
big hand against Jan Peter Yatman when
his aces were cracked by by Jan Peter

61
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,160
Yatman's pocket tens. I believe it
went raise from Holsner. Yachtman called out

62
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,759
of the big blind or maybe the
small blind flop top set, proceeded to

63
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,040
make a full house by the river
and was able to get some value on

64
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:19,079
the river. Yachtman with that full
house bet right around half of Holsner stack.

65
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,879
Holsner's thought about it for a while, made the call, saw the

66
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:27,120
bad news, and then he was
short. Thereafter he did get one double

67
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:31,079
up through Daniel Weinman, but he
was still left short. And then he

68
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,680
ultimately gets his money in with ace
jack off versus the pocket tens once again

69
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,800
tens hurting Holsner, and this one
would be the ultimate blow. Those tens

70
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120
belong to Stephen Jones. The ace
jack off did not hit for Holsner,

71
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,879
and the apple farmer from Italy was
out in ninth place. And we do

72
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,120
have audio of Holsner's elimination interview with
Kara Scott, so we will play that

73
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:01,040
for you right now. I would
in ninth place here from our final table,

74
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,759
Daniel Holtner, you've done this as
a shorter stack for so many of

75
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,160
the last few days, and now
in front of all friends and your family,

76
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,839
What has the experience been like for
you? It was obviously an amazing

77
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,560
experience. Like we said, it
was a present from my family, from

78
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:23,480
my friends, so I hope I
did work for them. I'm just glad

79
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,160
that I got to do the final
table. Like we said, that was

80
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,800
so short so many times, so
I did my best, I guess,

81
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
and yeah, that's how poper works. Lost the coin flip and so I'm

82
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,079
okay with that. I'm still happy. How does your life change after a

83
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:40,600
huge experience like this? Does poker
become a bigger part of your life now?

84
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:45,199
I don't think so, because I
have a lot of work at home.

85
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:48,439
My father is God, is getting
older, so I have to do

86
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:54,199
that stuff for him and the next
two or three years, So I don't

87
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,600
think it's gonna become a bigger part
of mine. But I will still continue

88
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,839
to play some tournis and that's it. He received his main event buying a

89
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:11,079
gift from his family on his thirtieth
birthday. If you watched the live stream

90
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,839
today, you saw video of that
gifting where Holsner was brought to tears for

91
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680
the gift and then takes that buy
and takes that present, rides it to

92
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,639
a ninth place, finished for nine
hundred thousand dollars. Well done for Daniel

93
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:29,480
Holsner. All right, eight players
remained Juan Mussras. He goes out next.

94
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Now Massas had when they were playing
down to the foun table had gotten

95
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:39,480
up over one hundred million ships,
like well over one hundred million ships.

96
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,040
Then he proceeds to just you know, keep his foot on the gas.

97
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:46,720
He goes below one hundred million,
he slips a little bit further. He

98
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:49,560
comes into this found table with sixty
eight million. Some things don't go his

99
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:54,759
way. Early on, he got
really frisky in a weird spot when he

100
00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:00,160
three bed five three hearts and went
open from plus one a flat call from

101
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,759
Jones. Then Um Massras has the
five three hearts. He takes for a

102
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,040
while, puts in a three bet
so what I think was eleven million at

103
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,439
the time. Behind him, Adam
Walman wakes up with Ace King and makes

104
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:16,000
it twenty two million. So everyone
folds, including Massiris, and that was

105
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,720
a huge chunk out of his stack
at the time. Then he gets involved

106
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,879
with Stephen Jones. When Jones opens
Jack's Massiris three bets ace King of Clubs,

107
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:28,480
Jones elects to just call. He
flops the set of jacks on the

108
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,320
ace jack deuce flop. It actually
goes check check. Jones had checked him

109
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,120
the dark on the flop. Um. Massias checked behind pretty quickly too.

110
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,919
Um the doc check. Yeah,
Jones had dark checked a few times at

111
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,480
this win in a final table.
A little bit weird, but hey,

112
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,399
it was working for him. Jones
ends up getting value from mass Airis on

113
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,360
later streets, so that takes a
big chunk out of Massias's stack. Then

114
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:56,240
he's short. Then he's just kind
of trying to find and get his money

115
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,919
in. Eventually he's down to eleven
big blinds. Heps from the hijack with

116
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,519
King nine off. Toby Lewis makes
the call on the big blind with Ace

117
00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:07,440
ten off. The Ace ten off
holds up and that is the end of

118
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,039
the road for Masseres, who had
You know, Massires has been around for

119
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:16,440
a while, long time blaster over
on the EPT circuit, but for the

120
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,399
last five years he hadn't played any
poker. Now he comes back finds himself

121
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,320
on this run Um still playing the
same old style that he always played.

122
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:28,639
Makes it down to the final eight. Here goes out in eighth place for

123
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,200
one million, one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars, and we'll play his

124
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:37,279
elimination interview with Karascott, And out
in eighth place is one Massiris. I

125
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,879
know we spoke yesterday and you had
hundreds and hundreds of messages waiting for you

126
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,480
to be read. Do you go
and do that now or do you take

127
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:48,240
some time to process this first?
Of course, I wouldn't take some time

128
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:56,960
for the answer of the messages,
just to lead. And that's it.

129
00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:01,200
What does letting it go look like? What are you gonna be doing right

130
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,039
after this for tomorrow? I don't
know. I don't know what's gonna happen

131
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,279
tomorrow. We'll see. I just
tried to enjoy my best the Suspedians and

132
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,720
nothing I could little and just find
out day all right. That was the

133
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,200
end of the road for Juan muss
Airis. Then it was Toby Lewis's turn

134
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:24,120
to bust. Although he did ladder
up a few spots, he did bust

135
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,279
muss Airis before hit before this in
eighth place, Lewis finds himself in a

136
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:33,879
spot where Stephen Jones opens with the
raised the pockets tends Adam Walton. Walton

137
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:39,000
flat called with the nine eight of
clubs on the button. Lewis has twenty

138
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,559
one big blinds and he's in the
big blind with King jack Off. He

139
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,879
elects to three bet jam. I
think it's a good spot for him to

140
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:46,279
do this. Um, he had
already laddered up a couple of spots,

141
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:50,159
so he's he's now making at least
one million foreigner and twenty five thousand.

142
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:54,600
Jones I think was playing a little
bit on the tighter side, so you

143
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,120
can probably get some get some three
bet jams through there against hands like you

144
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:03,679
know, Bace Queen Off Ace Jack
stuff like that. Maybe he folds smaller

145
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,759
pairs. He did have tens here, but maybe he folds like you know,

146
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:09,639
the sevens of the world, sixes, etc. And then Walton had

147
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:13,679
just been playing kind of his old
wacky style. You know, he can

148
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:16,840
be flatting with a whole wide range
of hands as he was with the nine

149
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,559
eight clubs here. So Lewis gets
it in with the King jack Off.

150
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,559
Jones ends up making the call,
Walton gets out of the way. Lewis

151
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,840
does not hit on the flop turner
River and he's out in seventh place for

152
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,799
one million, four hundred and twenty
five thousand, largest career scorer to date

153
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,240
for Toby Lewis, even though he
has two prior seven figure scores. He

154
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:43,639
won the Azzi Millions before he finished
third in the wind Millions. So good

155
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,080
on Toby Lewis for this run and
laddering up a few spots after coming into

156
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,960
the final table as the short stack. And here is his elimination interview with

157
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:54,840
Kara Scott. Toby Lewis out in
seventh place. So what does a run

158
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,799
like this mean to someone who's already
done so much in their career? Wow?

159
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
I mean, in like a week
or two will probably be pretty nice,

160
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,159
but a little bit sweet right now? How do you go away and

161
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,320
process this? What is it gonna
take? Do you think? What do

162
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,919
you do tomorrow? Take my dog
for a walk. How has it the

163
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,720
experience been kind of throughout being able
to go this deep this many days in

164
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,759
the World Series of Poker main event. I mean it's pretty cool. Yeah,

165
00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:24,440
it's obviously a marathon. It's just
a lot of endurance, like mental

166
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,000
you gotta get through every day.
But actually waking up after like five days

167
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,480
was easier than it was the second
day. It kind of became normals,

168
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:41,320
all right. That was Toby Lewis
and then there were six. Dean Hutchinson

169
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,960
is the next player to go.
He didn't really get involved at all.

170
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,240
Yeah, I mean, it was
like it was weird. I think it

171
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,480
was the second hand of the final
table where it folded to him and I

172
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,840
believe was the low jack seat and
he just flung two eights into the muck,

173
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,600
didn't raise, didn't do anything like, you know, and he kind

174
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,240
of yeah, I mean at that
point, Yeah, nine players left,

175
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,879
I'm guessing that's what it was.
You know, nine players left, You've

176
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:09,879
got Lewis, that's shorter. Um, you know, you're kind of in

177
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:11,759
that weird middle ground. So just
trying to wait out a couple of spots,

178
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,159
I mean, unless the graphics are
wrong, which can obviously be definitely

179
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,440
think too you know, but um, but yeah, m but he makes

180
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,399
it down to the final six.
He eventually goes out when it folds to

181
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,320
him on the button he's got two
fives. He raises to commit himself,

182
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,120
puts eighty percent of his stacking.
Jan Peter yachtman wakes up with two sevens

183
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,440
and the big blind announces that he's
all in. Hutcherson calls the sevens hold

184
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,879
up for yachtman and that is the
end of the road for the Scott.

185
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,240
He takes home one million, eight
hundred and fifty thousand, and afterwards he

186
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,840
spoke with Jeff plattin all right,
catching up with Dean as we take a

187
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,960
walk towards the payout desk. I
know you weren't feeling well at the beginning

188
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,200
of this tournament. How does it
feel now after a six place finished from

189
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,879
US two million dollars. Paplets played
the main event like eleven times, and

190
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,639
that's the first time of a cashed. So I'm just relieve. Actually,

191
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,799
okah, cash another my final table. You seem so relaxed out there,

192
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:13,440
so calm, cool, collected.
Is that how you actually felt? Yeah?

193
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:16,480
Yeah, I'm just I don't know
why. It was just relaxed,

194
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,279
just taking them like step to step. What was it like to have such

195
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,639
a wild rail behind you, chanting, singing, doing it all? Yeah,

196
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:26,639
it was good. It always helps, like spas and a little button,

197
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,559
like when you're like caled dead,
then you're like feeling about like doing

198
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:35,480
like they're real helps you. What's
next for you? Is it a deep

199
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:39,279
dive into the poker tournament scene or
perhaps a little time off. No,

200
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,000
I'll just keep playing. I don't
really like taking time off, but well,

201
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,799
going to have a few nights out
and with my fans because I was

202
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:50,840
loaded them there, so like a
few weeks off then back them again.

203
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,399
All right? That was Hutchinson with
Jeff Platt. After that rustling pre Drick

204
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:03,759
goes out in fifth place. He
didn't really get involved that much should haul

205
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:07,000
during this final table, but he
did, you know, manage to make

206
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,960
his way all the way down to
fifth place. Became the first player to

207
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,960
get up over two million in terms
of a payout. He collected two point

208
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:18,720
four million for his fifth place finish. He was looking to become the first

209
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,840
Ukrainian WSP main event champion. We've
never had that before in poker, but

210
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:28,320
he ultimately falls in fifth place.
He did double up when they were down

211
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,240
to five. He got his money
in eleven point five big blinds with Ace

212
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,519
jack Off and held against Stephen Jones's
Ace aid Off. I thought that was

213
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,159
a kind of a speculative call from
Jones. Predrick had shoved all in.

214
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,279
I believe him under the gun for
the eleven and a half big lines with

215
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,919
the aceh jack off, and then
Jones thought for a while from the small

216
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,600
one made the call with ace aid
off. The ACEH jack off held for

217
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:56,480
Predrick. But then he gets back
down to twelve big blinds. He moves

218
00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:00,679
all in with Queen toown of clubs. He gets called by Daniel Wineman,

219
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,639
who has ace jack off. The
ace jack off holds on the ace jack

220
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,600
deuce Queen eight board. In that
pot. Not only did it knock out

221
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,159
Russell and prejec in fifth place for
two point four million, it gave Dan

222
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,080
Wineman the chip lead. And then
that's where we went from there. They

223
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:22,279
decided to keep playing. So we're
down to four. The original plan was

224
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,639
to get down to four, but
it's always like a soft plan. It's

225
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:26,879
like, get down to four,
assess where we are. They had played

226
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,039
pretty fast at this point, the
stacks are pretty deep. Things are moving

227
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:37,600
along, so the decision was made
not to stop play immediately. They're gonna

228
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,000
play a little bit longer. Definitely, if they lost one more player,

229
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:44,360
they were gonna stop for sure,
but you know, play out. Maybe

230
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:47,120
the level that they were in,
maybe the next level as well, you

231
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,039
know, kind of see where they
were make for you know, a better

232
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,759
showing for Monday when the second stage
of the final table would take place.

233
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,039
You know, you don't want a
really short day on one day and then

234
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,679
like a super long, like fifteen
hour day on the next day. You

235
00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,000
kind of want to balance them out. So that was the plan here.

236
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,039
During the four handed play, Jones
took back the chip lead. He won

237
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:14,559
a big pot against yachtman when yachtman
ran into Jones's full house and then it

238
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,039
ended up where on the river,
Jones's got a full house. Yachtman bets

239
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,359
the river and then folds to Jones's
rays, So that was a you know,

240
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,839
a chunk of chips removed from the
German stack. He lost some more

241
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,920
chips here and there. He ultimately
gets down to fifty six million or fifty

242
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,079
four million, I should say,
when the big blind was two million.

243
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:38,680
And then the hand comes down where
he goes out in fourth place. So

244
00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:42,720
Jones comes in with a raise,
he makes the minimum four million. Walton

245
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:48,160
decides to flat pocket aces. Now
if Walton just three bets his hand,

246
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,640
this hand likely doesn't play out like
this, and Yachtman is probably still in

247
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,240
the tournament. I believe Jones was
raising with like Jack four so something just

248
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,519
raising because he was like the chip
leader. So he raises to four million.

249
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:03,519
Walton flats the aces. Now it
moves over. Daniel Wyeman folds in

250
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:07,119
the small blind and the big blind
Jan Peter Yachtman has you know, fifty

251
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,440
four million, he's got twenty seven
big blinds. He looks down, he

252
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,519
sees King Queen off. Now,
if that goes raised in three bet in

253
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:15,359
front of him, he probably puts
the King Queen off in the muck.

254
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,160
I mean, there's maybe a chance
that he calls or you know, four

255
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,759
bet shoves because it is Walton,
that's three betting. But I would say

256
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,319
the likelihood is that he puts that
hand into the muck. So with the

257
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,519
way that the hand played out,
though it goes open, it goes flat,

258
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,480
He's like, okay, this is
a good spot, you know,

259
00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:34,440
kind of similar earlier to when Tobey
Lewis busted. Pretty good spot here for

260
00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:38,680
a three bet jam from the big
blind. That is exactly what Yatman does.

261
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,799
He puts his twenty seven big blinds
and Joe quickly gets out of the

262
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:48,559
way, Walton snaps him off the
aces hold four Walton and that is the

263
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,119
end of the road four Yachtman.
He takes home four million dollars for his

264
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:57,920
fourth place finished, and then that
is what signaled end of play for the

265
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,640
day before we talk about the final
three players that made it on. Here

266
00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:07,000
is the elimination interview that Yatman did
with Kara Scott and I'm here with Jan

267
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,079
We have lost you off of this
final table. Can you talk to us

268
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,039
and some of what the experience has
been like having this particular tournament with so

269
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:22,200
many people watching. Yeah, of
course was great experience. Um, I

270
00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:29,480
did very well until the last I
don't know half hour or maybe so I

271
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:36,039
had I tried some some bluffs against
the ship leader and so now I had

272
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,440
think queen moved all in. I
think that was it was fine, but

273
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,519
this Allan Allan tried to trap the
other guy and he had aces, So

274
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:53,119
this was was a little bit luck. But yeah, I'm I'm happy.

275
00:19:53,960 --> 00:20:02,000
I'm very happy about my tournament and
and it's a respectable fourth place. Actually

276
00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,839
I was. It was a little
strange. I thought when we when we

277
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,759
played out to four, I was
like little Oh yeah, I'm fine,

278
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:11,480
we're done. We have a dinner, we have tomorrow, it's come on.

279
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,599
And so I said, no,
no, we keep on playing.

280
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:17,880
I don't know, maybe it was
a little I don't know why, but

281
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,519
I lost a little my my I
don't know, concentration not, but I

282
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:29,200
felt that I was little um exhausted
somehow because I was just said, okay,

283
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:33,119
let's one more and then we're done
for today. And maybe this was

284
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,319
a little mistake from in my in
my brain to do that, and because

285
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,680
everybody said, yeah, yeah,
we played down to fourth, but okay,

286
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,079
all right, that was yam Peter
yatman. It feels pretty good,

287
00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:48,880
I would say about his run.
I don't think you can be sad about,

288
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,559
you know, winning four million.
I know you're that close to winning.

289
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,480
But I'll tell you what, four
games in Europe and I'm gonna be

290
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:59,839
lit. They're gonna be awesome.
We weren't getting ready for the pillows.

291
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,039
I mean why not? I mean, what else is he gonna be?

292
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,880
All Right, So we got Steven
Jones, Daniel Wineman, Adam Walton.

293
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:11,119
That is the order that they will
be on the leaderboard. Stephen Jones is

294
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,960
the CHIP leader with two hundred and
thirty eight million chips. That is a

295
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,519
heck of a lot of chips.
Daniel Wineman is second on the leaderboard.

296
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:25,319
He has one hundred ninety nine million, and then Adam Walton is bringing up

297
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,039
the rear although he's still got a
lot of chips. He has one hundred

298
00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:33,039
and sixty five point five million.
So I spoke to each of these players

299
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,599
afterwards, I'll just tell you a
little bit about the three of them.

300
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,440
I tried to do a biopod last
night by myself and I don't know,

301
00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:47,319
my setup at home wasn't working.
I pulled out my backup Yettie not working.

302
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,359
Nothing working. So I was like, you know, what the hell

303
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,880
with all this stuff? All right? So Stephen Jones thirty five years old

304
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:56,960
from Flint, Michigan, but he
now splits his time between Scottsdale, Arizona,

305
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:02,839
and Las Vegas, Nevada. He
is the owner and is also the

306
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,480
lead real estate broker for his own
real estate company, JR. Jones Group.

307
00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:11,400
He went to college at Arizona State
University. He's a fan of the

308
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:15,519
Detroit Lions and the Phoenix Suns.
The Detroit Lions, he says, are

309
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,279
his favorite sports team. Sorry about
that, Stephen, you know, because

310
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:23,599
they're not that good. Steven's mom
who was on the rail and spoke with

311
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,160
Jeff Platt at one point today.
She taught him how to play poker at

312
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,799
a young age. She's been playing
poker. She mostly plays cash games.

313
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,680
She was even on I think the
front page of I think Jones said the

314
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:40,599
Detroit Free News Press maybe years ago, like fifteen years ago, talking about

315
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,160
how, you know, she wants
to be an advocate for women and poker.

316
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,000
She wants to get more women in
the game. Ever since he taught

317
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:48,720
her when he was much younger,
he's been playing poker, and now here

318
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,000
he is at the absolute pinnacle of
the game. You know, not only

319
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,720
is a w is he at the
WC Man Event final table. He's the

320
00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:57,720
chip leader three handed. I mean, that's just got to be absolutely wild.

321
00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:03,079
He made the final table of the
twenty eighteen w SIP Colossus and finished

322
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,000
in ninth place, taking fifty seven
thousand, four hundred dollars. Back then,

323
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,880
I think John Raisner also made that
final table. Um He says that

324
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:18,319
he went through a spiritual healing session
with a Mayan shaman. I'm not sure

325
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,720
if this is like a Joe that
he put down in his bio sheet,

326
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:25,279
or like, if he's actually serious, I will tell you this. Stephen

327
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,559
Jones is a he has talked about
like positive energy and all that sort of

328
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:33,000
stuff. He's certainly a very positive
guy. So I think it's sun.

329
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:37,440
Maybe he did go to a Miyan
shaman. Yeah, pretty crazy event.

330
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,440
I'm gonna need the number for this
shaman. Yeah, we're gonna have to

331
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,920
go. I'm with you, you
know at this point, I'm with you.

332
00:23:42,519 --> 00:23:45,680
Um. He loves movies, especially
going to movies because he's a sucker,

333
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,880
sucker for movie theater, popcorn as
am. I absolutely love it.

334
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,880
Um. He says his favorite movie
is either Mario or Warrior. Um.

335
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,759
And then after play today I spoke
with Stephen Jones. Year is that interview?

336
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,079
Now? Stephen Jones, We're at
the end of the first part of

337
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,559
the Final Table, heading into the
second part. You're the chip leader.

338
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,799
How do you think the day went
for you? Overall? It went perfect.

339
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,240
I ended with the chip lead.
You can't be mad about that.

340
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:17,039
It would have been nice. Uh, the wineman didn't have so many chips

341
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:19,039
too. Do you think he's a
tough opponent? But but yeah, today

342
00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:22,640
went well. I picked up some
great hands and in some key spots,

343
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,559
which is good. Um, but
yeah, I can't be more grateful than

344
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,160
this. Obviously, this tournament is
super long poker. In general, poker

345
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,000
tournaments up and down, they're all
over the place. But you've had a

346
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,119
pretty good energy about yourself. You've
been very upbeat the whole time. Like,

347
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,400
how is it easy to just keep
that positivity throughout? Yeah, I

348
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,240
mean that's I think that's how I
stay comfortable. Um. I always try

349
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:44,119
to enjoy poker, and this is
such a big spot and I'm just trying

350
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,640
to enjoy it even more so.
Um. But yeah, I mean I'm

351
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,160
just not as nervous as as I
thought I would be in the spot us

352
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,039
trying to have fun with it.
At one point I walked off to the

353
00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:56,400
side. I saw you on break
with I'm guessing a coach now, Alex

354
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,319
Foxon, Yeah, what's going on
in those little pow wows? That's well,

355
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,839
well, he's given me some secret
song, a little bit of this,

356
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,599
a little bit of that, yeah, a little bit just trying to

357
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,799
pick up reads and and just making
sure my my my shoving ranges or you

358
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,720
know, my my my spots um
um are are correct, um and all

359
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:17,240
that it really helps, I mean
tremendously. So how does it feel to

360
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,640
have just a big support group on
the rail this whole time? It's it's

361
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,119
amazing. I mean, I have
so many family and friends here, and

362
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,640
then the ones that can make it
are still at home watching And obviously my

363
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,759
phone is just blown up like crazy. But it's just it's it's overwhelming,

364
00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:33,559
but I'm so grateful for it.
Every single day the dream probably gets a

365
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:37,720
little bit more real. Final three, you're the chip leader, locked up

366
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:40,000
four million, twelve million up top? How real is it right now?

367
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:42,799
It's it hasn't even sunk in in
all the way that I just feel like

368
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,359
the job's not done. I'm going
to study more today, I'm going to

369
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,119
go focus, um really, not
going to spend any time with family.

370
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,039
I already thought I'm sorry, guys, this is too important, but um

371
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,880
yeah, I just haven't let it
sink sink in yet because because I feel

372
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,200
like the job's not done. And
then last question, A question I like

373
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,599
to ask you everyone when I interview
them, are you having fun? Oh

374
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,519
my gosh, Yeah, this is
the time of my life. Man,

375
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,759
I'm having a great time. It's
awesome, all right. That was Steven

376
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:10,839
Jones again chip leader coming into the
final three. He's got two hundred and

377
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,119
thirty eight million. I think the
big blind will still be two million for

378
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,480
a little bit of time. So
he's doing extremely well on chips. He's

379
00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:21,000
got Alex foxon as his coach,
so you know, we'll see how the

380
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,960
day and goes for him. We'll
see if he takes a little bit of

381
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,119
a different approach on the second day
of the final table. He was he

382
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:32,440
played a little bit closer to the
vest on this first day and also throughout

383
00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:33,880
you know, most of the terment
that we've seen. But now that he

384
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,319
has the chip lead, now that
he's locked up four million, you know,

385
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,279
is he gonna ramp up the pressure
in the aggression a little bit.

386
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:48,279
We'll see what happens on Monday.
Then we have Daniel Wineman one hundred ninety

387
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,240
nine million in his stack. Wineman
is thirty five years old. He's out

388
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,039
of Atlanta, Georgia. He's a
poker player and a software engineer. He

389
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,920
went to college. He starts as
a software engineer, working as a tech

390
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,079
guy. He leaves that he goes
and plays poker. He's been playing poker

391
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,519
ever since, but now in like
the recent year or two, he's kind

392
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:11,799
of gotten back away from poker started
a company called r F Labs, where

393
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,960
he's the founder and software engineer.
R F Labs is a startup tech company

394
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:21,839
looking to bridge the gap between a
physical and the digital worlds. If you

395
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,680
go to their website you can see
that right now, they're emphasizing on live

396
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:30,640
gaming. They have a core product
that is like reinvented live stream equipment,

397
00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:34,400
livestream tables for poker. It allows
people to like basically have their own home

398
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,440
games and stuff and like you get
stats to your phone, you can easily

399
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,720
cast to the internet, all of
that sort of stuff. He's a Spiegel

400
00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:45,480
Bracelet winner. He's also a World
Poker Tour Champion. He's a WPT Tournament

401
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:51,640
of Champions winner as well. He
entered this event with more than three point

402
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,400
seven million dollars in career live tournament
earnings, according to the hendemob dot com.

403
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,200
Now that he's guaranteed four million,
he's gonna more than double that.

404
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,240
He also wanted the dubs AP Circuit
Cherokee Main event back in twenty fifteen for

405
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,079
two hundred and eighty thousand dollars,
So why why didn't you know? He's

406
00:28:07,079 --> 00:28:11,559
a pro's pro. He's been around, yeah, for quite some time.

407
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:18,119
It also says that he created an
advanced discord bought to monitor popular gaming service

408
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,519
and provide a more seamless gaming experience. This guy sounds way smarter than I

409
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,039
would ever be, obviously not.
I mean, I've known Daniel Wyman for

410
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:32,680
a while being in poker. Um. Super nice guy, you know,

411
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,279
obviously super smart as well, very
likable, great personality, all that sort

412
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:41,519
of stuff. Avid golfer, he
wants golf with Donald Trump and John Smoltz.

413
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:45,079
I remember when he did the golf
thing with Donald Trump. He got

414
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:48,599
an invite he's playing. I think
he golfs with John Smolts a lot,

415
00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:52,920
and then they went to play one
day and they ended up playing with Donald

416
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,000
Trump. And I think he posted
on Facebook or maybe it was another social

417
00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:57,759
media platform. But how like,
I can't wait to see how many friends

418
00:28:57,799 --> 00:29:03,480
I lose after after posting the photo
of like all of them lined up to

419
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:08,000
play golf with Donald Trump. Scratch
golfer too is Daniel one. He's credited

420
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:14,559
with creating Fantasyland at least the current
Fantasyland variation of open face Chinese poker.

421
00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,519
You went to school at Georgia Tech
where he was in a fraternity, and

422
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,039
then after play on this first day
of the final table, I spoke with

423
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,279
Daniel one. All right, Daniel
Wyman, We just wrapped up the first

424
00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:29,440
card of the final table, down
to three. How you feeling overall going

425
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,960
into tomorrow? Feel great going into
tomorrow. Just a dream day to day,

426
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,079
picked up so many chips, just
kind of uncontested. Maybe had one

427
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,240
spot the whole day where I thought
I might get put to a tough decision,

428
00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:44,039
and luckily Adam gave up with the
bluff that he had or it would

429
00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:47,839
have been a very long time in
the tank. But just feeling great looking

430
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:51,680
forward tomorrow. I'm guessing you're alluding
to the ace's hand when he had well,

431
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,079
which was two sixes, which I'm
sure you found out later. I

432
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,039
want to know were you calling a
shove on the river there? It really

433
00:29:56,119 --> 00:30:00,359
depends on the card that came off. I know he likes a lot of

434
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:02,839
hands in position. You know,
I'd seen from previous days he had had

435
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,960
some very wide flats on the button. I know in a freeway pot.

436
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:07,319
You know, he's going to be
in there with a lot of eight nine

437
00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:11,279
suiteds, a lot of maybe six
eight suiteds which have straight draws. I

438
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,799
think the eight nine completing cards like
the jack in the six I probably was

439
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:18,519
going to fold on, and I
think almost everything else I would have called.

440
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,279
I kind of thought afterwards that an
ace would have been a super interesting

441
00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:25,519
card that if he had gone forward
on the ace, you know, I

442
00:30:25,559 --> 00:30:27,480
would have had the second nuts at
the time, but Queen Jack suited would

443
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,240
have been in a hand that made
so much sense for him to have.

444
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:33,960
It would have been kind of while
to fold on an ace and call on

445
00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:36,519
some cards where I just had one
pair, But that was kind of my

446
00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:41,160
thought. Locked up four million dollars, huge score. How's the night going

447
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,519
to go for you? You're gonna
be able to sleep? Is it comfort

448
00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:45,759
you knowing you locked up that much
money? The money doesn't seem real at

449
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:49,720
this point. You know. I've
played some big games in my life,

450
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,279
nothing really close to this. I
haven't really thought about the money at all.

451
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,400
I don't think tonight is going to
be much different, very relaxing.

452
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:03,000
Probably get some dinner with a couple
of close friends and family, get a

453
00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:06,799
good night's sleep and looking forward to
coming back and battling to marm what's it

454
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,119
like playing against these two guys specifically, you mentioned Adam he's a little bit

455
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,480
more out of the box, unconventional. Stephen Jones has played, I guess

456
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:15,119
a little bit more conventional. So
how are you gonna go against those two?

457
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:19,279
It's interesting, it's two completely different
players. It's it feels like Stephen

458
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,400
is a guy that is really trying
to play by the book. Maybe isn't

459
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,279
the most experienced, so I think
he's a little bit out of his comfort

460
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:30,000
zone. Whereas Adam, I think
it's played very tough, kind of he

461
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:33,279
has his own unique style, you
know, it doesn't do the things you

462
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,880
would expect of a you know,
no limit pro. He's kind of all

463
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,160
over the place with motions and it's
kind of hard to pick up anything on

464
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:45,880
him because he is doing so much. All right, that was Daniel Wineman

465
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,519
has a lot of the U has
a lot of pros in his corner.

466
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:52,440
Sean deeb is there, Josh Rya. You know, there's a lot of

467
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,920
guys that were in Toby Lewis's corner
that might be switching to hop into Daniel

468
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,920
Wieman's corner golf golf corner. Yeah, the golf corner, you know.

469
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:06,839
So we'll see how that goes going
forward. Should be a should be a

470
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,640
lot of fun. I think um
Mark, Gregorich, David odb Baker like

471
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,519
those types of guys back glance as
well. Yeah, so you know,

472
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:16,519
we'll see who's on the on his
rail for the second day of the Final

473
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:21,559
Table on Monday, July seventeenth.
Then we have Adam Walton. He came

474
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,400
into today as the chip leader with
over one hundred and forty million and chips.

475
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,880
He ends up finishing the day with
one hundred and sixty five point five

476
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,039
millions so profit on the day,
but he is third on the leaderboard out

477
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:37,200
of these final three players. Walton
is forty years old. He's out of

478
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:43,519
Tacoma, Washington. He's the oldest
player remaining out of these three players.

479
00:32:43,599 --> 00:32:45,119
The oldest player to make this final
table, by the way, was Jan

480
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,599
Peter Yachtman at fifty five, and
then Russell and Priedric was fifty and then

481
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,519
there was no player that was twenty
one to twenty nine, which is like

482
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,880
the first time in forever I feel
like that, that's happened. He used

483
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,720
to be all about the young guns. Actually, last night I rewatched the

484
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,079
final table of the two thousand and
six to WSP main event. You know,

485
00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:07,039
I was like, you know,
I'm gonna watch something before the main

486
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:10,039
event final table, so I picked
two thousand and six. That was Jamie

487
00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:15,319
golds year. I remember. I
remember they said on the broadcast that,

488
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:19,400
you know, I think there was
three guys in their twenties, maybe four,

489
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,559
I can't remember, but there was
a few, and they mentioned,

490
00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:22,920
you know, this is kind of
how poker is these days. The guys

491
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:27,920
keep getting younger, The young kids
are super good from the online world,

492
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,920
all that sort of stuff, and
you know, it's only inevitable that all

493
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:35,799
those players are now making big runs
in live events and then of course,

494
00:33:36,119 --> 00:33:37,599
of course, notably in the WSP
main event. Well now it's kind of

495
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:42,920
shifted the other way because online poker
isn't so prevalent and available within the US

496
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:45,640
it is elsewhere in the world.
Yes, but you don't have all those

497
00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:51,359
you know, rising stars out of
the US ranks. So a little bit

498
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,880
of an older final table at least
on average this year. But anyway,

499
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,960
back to Adam Walton forty years old
born in Tacoma, washingtonbody now resides here

500
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:02,279
Henderson, Nevada. That's my neck
of the woods. He's been playing poker

501
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:07,440
since two thousand and three, heading
into this WSP main events, almost one

502
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,679
million dollars in career live tournament earnings. According to the hendemob dot com.

503
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:15,440
He's a trader for Citadel Sports Group, which he lists, Like, you

504
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:17,320
know, they do a lot of
volume, you know, that's basically their

505
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,360
play of volume play. I feel
like he plays poker like he trades sports.

506
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,480
It's like a volume thing. He's
like always mixing it up with all

507
00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:28,880
different types of hands, you know, and like hopefully at the end of

508
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,039
the day he just hopes to profit. Like it's not really like I'm gonna

509
00:34:31,079 --> 00:34:36,639
be very selective and place my bets
and then when I do place my bets,

510
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:37,880
I'm gonna go big with them.
He's kind of all over the place,

511
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:39,920
you know. So I think it's
more of like the you know,

512
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,119
I'm gonna jab here, jab there, jab here, jab there, you

513
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,280
know, try and chip up here
and there. I might lose some,

514
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:46,519
I might win some, but at
the end of the day, as long

515
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:50,400
as you know, the end of
the graph is higher than the beginning of

516
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,400
the graph, then yes, I've
won. He made a wager with fellow

517
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,320
poker player and we talked about this
before. Tim Chang, whoever made two

518
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,800
hundred fifty thousand dollars first, would
have to buy a boat. It's Walton

519
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,679
that's gonna be buying the boat.
Even though Tim Chang did cash in the

520
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,960
event small cash um. Here,
Walton is making at least four million dollars,

521
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,360
So this is gonna be one hell
of a boat. I would imagine

522
00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:15,000
how much do you dedicate to the
boat? Do you think? Wow,

523
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:16,960
that's a good bug. I mean, I'm not saying I that's what I

524
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,840
would do. I would buy a
tony K boat. I'm not buying,

525
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,000
but I'm saying, yea Walton seems
like a guy who wants to blast on

526
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:25,719
a boat. I mean, that's
half a million dollars. Get you with

527
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,400
a buck. I have no idea. I mean, isn't that an awesome

528
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,679
boat? I feel like it has
also like are we buying the boat here

529
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,320
for like lake meat, or like
were buying the boat for like the ocean.

530
00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:38,480
I think they're buying it for like
me, so they can go you

531
00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:42,760
know, like water skiing or something
like that, then you probably don't need

532
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,000
that expensive of Maybe it's about with
some jet skis with all the equipment,

533
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,880
you know, I think they're gonna
deck this thing out. Yeah you know

534
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,960
so um so yeah, the boat's
on you. Adam Walton he enjoys pickleball.

535
00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:57,159
He has a dog named Zoe um
and then he used to be a

536
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,159
teacher, so come a long way
from you know, tell school kids what

537
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,320
to do. He's here in the
final three of the WSP Made event and

538
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,000
I spoke with him after play.
All right, Adam Walton came into today

539
00:36:08,039 --> 00:36:12,400
with the chip lead. Was this
the goal to make it to this point?

540
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,800
The next day, final three,
final four, whatever it would have

541
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,320
been. I mean, I think
since I started, my goal is just

542
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,639
every day just to make the next
day. So like even years past,

543
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:27,840
the goal is always just to make
the next day. It's hard to put

544
00:36:29,159 --> 00:36:32,719
too many goals in yourself because kind
of however the card distribution turns out is

545
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,599
what happened, so you can't.
Trying to have a goal ahead of time

546
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,880
isn't something I try to do.
But obviously I'm thrilled to be here.

547
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:45,239
How'd you feel the day went for
you overall. Overall, I think I

548
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:52,039
was pretty card dead. I wasn't
overly happy with one of the bluffs that

549
00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:53,199
I made, but on the whole, I think I played, like,

550
00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:57,599
you know, my B plus game, So I was decently happy with that.

551
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,480
So you know, you got one
more day to put playing my A

552
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:01,679
game, and you know, try
and take this down. What's tonight?

553
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,639
Look for your preparation, relaxation.
As soon as I'm done with this,

554
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,760
I'm gonna go grab one drink with
friends, and then I'm gonna head home

555
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,599
and go to sleep. Now that
you've locked up four million dollars, how

556
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:15,400
real is the dream that you could
win twelve million? To be honest,

557
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,440
it sounds weird, but I haven't
really even been thinking about the money.

558
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,840
I've been pretty fortunate in poker that
the money doesn't have to be everything,

559
00:37:23,039 --> 00:37:27,679
So I think when you think about
the money too much, you're not concentrating

560
00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:30,000
on the right thing. So obviously
afterwards I will be thinking about what to

561
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:35,800
do with it and a great spot
to be in, but I'm not really

562
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,360
thinking about it too much at this
point. Last question, A question I'd

563
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,159
like to ask everyone that I interview
are you having fun? I'm having a

564
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:45,000
blast, all right. So that
was Adam Walton. That was Stephen Jones,

565
00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:50,679
Dani and Wyman and Adam Walton the
final three of the World Series of

566
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,599
Poker Main Event. Everyone is guaranteed
four million dollars. What's the chop value

567
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:59,599
now, buddy, I put it
in because it is twenty two and a

568
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:01,800
half. Twenty two point six million
divided by three that would be bad.

569
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,480
Correct, It's seven point five million
and some change, So take it.

570
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,159
They had they do the photo you
know where they put everyone together. Right

571
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,480
right after the photo was done,
they all exchanged numbers. I watched it.

572
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:16,480
Haven't interesting. I mean, I
think you're insane to not do some

573
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:19,920
sort of save or something. At
this point. The money is just so

574
00:38:20,119 --> 00:38:22,920
big. I know, I'm I'm
generally anti chop, but listen, it

575
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:27,440
goes four million to six and a
half to twelve point one. I mean,

576
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:30,480
come on, that's out of control. The chips are too crazy like

577
00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:35,599
separated. So maybe they do something. Maybe maybe these guys are just gonna

578
00:38:35,639 --> 00:38:38,000
yolo it. I have no idea. Um no, come on, I

579
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:42,440
think you gotta do something where you're
like, listen, let's lock up five

580
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:46,239
million. Maybe we'll let's lock up
six million each and then we'll we'll go

581
00:38:46,639 --> 00:38:49,960
from there. Um, you know, we'll kind of do something from from

582
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,199
there. I don't really know what
you would do from there. Maybe it's

583
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,119
like you lock everyone locks up six
million, and the remaining money it's like,

584
00:38:55,559 --> 00:38:59,440
I don't know, seventy thirty you
split it up something like that.

585
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:04,000
But I think it only benefits them. I mean, they're all they're all

586
00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:06,440
deep enough, they're still gonna be
playing one million, two million. So

587
00:39:06,559 --> 00:39:10,199
Walton is the shortest stack, shortest
in quotation marks. Um he still has

588
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,920
eighty two million or eighty two big
blinds. Yeah, you know, so

589
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,719
there's a ton of play. This
thing can swing either way. Um,

590
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,639
wouldn't be surprised if they do some
sort of chop. I mean, it

591
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:24,960
really does only make sense. You
can't chop the five in okay bracelet though,

592
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:29,280
you know I can't do that.
But um, but yeah, which

593
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,239
they gave to me today. Why
we're like starting the live stream. Yeah,

594
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:35,360
and they just come over and they're
like, here, can you just

595
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,360
hold this for us right now?
I'm like, who's they? Well?

596
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,599
Mori ah, he like didn't want
it. He like didn't want. He

597
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:43,760
was see sits like right next to
where we are. But he's like,

598
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,679
you guys, just hold on to
this right now and gave it to rem

599
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,920
Corn. We're like, all right, whatever, I mean, okay,

600
00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:52,199
a little bit of a security risk
to chust YouTube bombs. I wouldn't let

601
00:39:52,199 --> 00:39:53,320
anyone touch that. I wouldn't even
let m que touch it. I haven't

602
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,719
touched it yet. I don't want
touched it once, I said to me

603
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,320
he took a photo with Elasia.
He did, and I've taken a photo

604
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,400
of it before. But I said, now that I'm started playing the main

605
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,159
event, I can't touch it anymore. I can't do It's not allowed.

606
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,679
So it's like the Stanley Cup.
You know, it's just the thing.

607
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:12,159
But then you know Remco touched it
and he said, so am I not

608
00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:14,039
going to win? And I said, well, listen, I said,

609
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:15,760
it a little bit different than the
Stanley Cup because the Stanley Cup is the

610
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,639
same Stanley Cup and they engrave it
with new players. They changed the bracelet

611
00:40:20,679 --> 00:40:23,320
every year. So I think you're
fine for next year. That's what I

612
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:35,679
think. That's my read on the
situation. One player that we're going to

613
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,880
be seen for a heck of a
long time at the World Series of Poker

614
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:44,039
is Jason Clark. So, Jason
Clark is a forty two year old real

615
00:40:44,199 --> 00:40:47,199
estate agent out of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, and he is the winner

616
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,519
of the World Series of Poker Main
Event seat. I think they called it

617
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:54,800
the main Event seat for life,
but it's Main Events seat for thirty years.

618
00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:00,559
Yeah. He so he won that
promotion. So that promotion was if

619
00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:05,920
this year's WSP Main Event set the
record in terms of entries, So if

620
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,280
it got eight thousand, seven hundred
and seventy four entries, then they would

621
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:13,800
draw one name out of everyone that
played. That's the reason for really reason

622
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,800
why I played, just to be
in the drawing. So and then the

623
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:22,960
person would win a buy in to
THESP main event comped on the World Series

624
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,840
of Poker on Caesar's All you Gotta
do is show up for the next thirty

625
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:30,559
years. You're buying has camped for
thirty years. That's a freaking amazing deal.

626
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,519
I saw Poker News, by the
way, put this article out today

627
00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:40,320
that says would you rather get a
WSP Main Event seat for life or two

628
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:47,719
hundred thousand dollars? I mean This
isn't just an insane take. Who in

629
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,880
their right mind would ever take two
hundred thousand dollars. I cannot believe you

630
00:41:53,079 --> 00:41:57,719
played poker to in order to win
this. You play poker no because this.

631
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,280
You know, there's some people that
doesn't play the main event a year

632
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,679
or they want to satellite. Maybe
they want a promotion to get in,

633
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,800
and they're not. They're not planning
to play every year. What promotion did

634
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,119
you win to get in? The
doubt doesn't involve playing poker. You maybe

635
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:13,159
you want to a seek giveaway or
something like that. Oh, everything's been

636
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:19,119
everything. Everything that the Dubst does
is playing poker. There's satellites online,

637
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:22,079
they're satellites live. But what I'm
saying satellites you've you've said on this podcast.

638
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:27,000
So you're not missing the main event
ever again, you know fingers crossed.

639
00:42:27,039 --> 00:42:29,360
Yeah, I would love to free
all myself. It's thirty. Don't

640
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,440
like that. Some people like,
you know, I want to play this

641
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:34,079
year. I'm running good, my
money's bad. I'm not playing this year.

642
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,400
So there's definitely people out there that
if they won, they would take

643
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,880
that two hundred k Okay. First
of all, even if that was an

644
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,360
option. You could still miss ten
years and still play. Yeah, but

645
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,719
there's a difference with a seat every
year for thirty years or two hundred k

646
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,400
cash. What are you going to
do with two d pay off your house?

647
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,400
If you're you're out of your mind. You take the worst poker player.

648
00:42:58,639 --> 00:43:02,400
That playerstely out of there. Yeah
he if he won the main events

649
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,840
seat for life, do you think
he's ROI is better on that or taking

650
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,079
the two hundred k and putting it
in the spy it's one hundred percent.

651
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:14,159
Putting in no shot. Are you
drunk? Are you drunk? For what?

652
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,000
Eight percent return year over year for
thirty years? No, get out

653
00:43:19,039 --> 00:43:21,599
of here. You get out of
here. That is a slam dunk decision.

654
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,559
Take the two hundred k, do
the math put it, put it

655
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,800
in one of those calculators. Those
those things, the investment calculators. They

656
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,559
have those Google that put it in
there. Two hundred thousand dollars eight percent

657
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:37,079
year over year. I want to
see what it's at in thirty years.

658
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,960
You want to do thirty years?
Yeah, thirty years eight percent year,

659
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,519
eight percent a lot? This is
you said, spy that that it's like

660
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:50,280
the SPI is like ten percent.
Okay, so I'm being conservative eight percent.

661
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,639
Well, what do you got one
point one four a million? Exactly?

662
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,119
That's a lot of money. What
do you mean that's yeah, so

663
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,519
that is a lot of money.
You don't First of all, you don't

664
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:02,039
get that need to come seventh in
the main event to win one point four

665
00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:06,239
million. First of all, that
yes, in one case, you could

666
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,880
also have like four deep runs for
two hundred cage, right, you could

667
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,519
do that. And this is also
like how you're outing this. What are

668
00:44:13,559 --> 00:44:16,559
you talking about? You're in sad
person. You take this opportunity every single

669
00:44:16,679 --> 00:44:20,719
year, take the you know you
can and notow some of this money.

670
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,360
Bro, you're one your point one
four eight million out of your mind percent?

671
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,440
You know what, you're out of
your mind. Let's make it eight

672
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,679
percent, right, let's make it
eight percent two million dollars. What did

673
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,079
you make it before? It was
six percent? Oh, you got to

674
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:39,280
make it. I went six percent
because of conservative eight percent two million dollars.

675
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:45,400
You're ten excent your money in thirty
years. Everyone should be taking that

676
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,880
no, yes, no shot.
First of all, if you're taking that

677
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,000
and you're already not investing, then
you're an idiot. Okay, and you're

678
00:44:54,039 --> 00:44:57,840
never gonna get that money anyway,
Like you're never gonna make it to there

679
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,440
to get two million, because if
you were already investing, you're not gonna

680
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,320
all of a sudden get to take
this two hundred k and do it.

681
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:07,320
Okay, snap, and then and
then if you are already investing, like

682
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,320
say me, I'm already invest so
I'm gonna take this free roll every single

683
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,440
year. You can also sell some
action get some money back. You could

684
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,840
sell, like you know, you
could sell, But I'm gonna take this

685
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:22,599
deal of putting two hundred straight in
boom, give me my two million?

686
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:25,920
Literally absolutely, you know what.
Actually I can believe it. You sold

687
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,519
a freaking salads point coin for one
hundred dollars for winning the tournament. I

688
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,960
actually like you fold straights I get
Have you want a sath point coin?

689
00:45:34,119 --> 00:45:36,960
No, I don't care if you
want one. What are you gonna do

690
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,679
with it? I'm gonna throw it
in my little box of trinkets in my

691
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,079
close. But that's worth one hundred
dollars. No, it's not worth a

692
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:45,320
hundred dollars. I don't care about
that. You don't care about the trinket

693
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,079
though, You just said, I'm
gonna put it in a box. Yeah,

694
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:50,039
but then, like you know,
I'll I'll look at it in a

695
00:45:50,079 --> 00:45:52,559
couple of years. I'll take my
taking them, not taking the hundred dollars

696
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:55,760
anyway. You're out of your mind
if you don't accept the two hundred cash

697
00:45:57,119 --> 00:46:00,480
as long. This is not this
is not like to put it in.

698
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:01,679
You have to invest it. If
you're just gonna spend on stuff, it's

699
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:06,599
not the main events. No,
you're saying no because there is no caveat.

700
00:46:06,679 --> 00:46:09,119
There is no forced investment here.
This is not like you know,

701
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,480
when you win the lottery, you
win powerball for five hundred million, do

702
00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:17,320
you want to take the five hundred
million in you know, a dollar amount

703
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,280
every single year? Do you want
to just take the lump sum? This

704
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,360
is not equivalent to that. If
you're gonna spend two hundred acount about I

705
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,920
would advise you, what if you
win the main event twice, then you're

706
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,719
just gonna win twenty four million dollars? Come on, what Mark Newhouse finished

707
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,880
ninth twice. Joe has been at
the final table twice. It could happen

708
00:46:35,159 --> 00:46:38,480
that it could happen. It could
happen. I'm taking the shot. I'm

709
00:46:38,519 --> 00:46:42,159
taking the gamble. I'm free rolling
the main event for thirty years. You

710
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,000
can basically free roll the main event
in about five years. Wait, let

711
00:46:45,039 --> 00:46:47,079
me do that. Let me put
it in for this. Wait, wait,

712
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:50,800
give me one sake five years.
We invest it for five years.

713
00:46:51,199 --> 00:46:52,679
Okay, it's not that much tin
to make ninety K, but that's ten

714
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:58,280
years of main events seats. Right, Let's say we invest if we'll say

715
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,599
eight years. After eight years,
we're gonna have one hundred and seventy thousand

716
00:47:01,639 --> 00:47:07,159
dollars in profit. That's seventeen years
of main events seats since invested for a

717
00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:09,760
couple of years, and you'll be
we'll be printing printing money. You can

718
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,480
take ten kt every year after that. I mean you also have to factor

719
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:17,639
in that you're gonna be saving that
ten k, so you can just invest

720
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,760
that every single year. Hoppy,
if you're not planning to play every year.

721
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,719
Wait a second, would you get
tax on the two hundred k if

722
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,280
that was an option, Like they're
giving you cash with hundred tall that changes

723
00:47:30,519 --> 00:47:31,880
taxed. You're taking a prize.
It's a gift. No, it's a

724
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,559
gift. I think you get taxed
on gifts it's not a gift. If

725
00:47:35,599 --> 00:47:38,239
you want a promotion, m I'm
gonna have to call out my lawyer right

726
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,800
right, color and out of all
the stuff that I've told you about,

727
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,559
all the sweepstakes and stuff like that. You you're not you don't think you're

728
00:47:45,559 --> 00:47:47,519
gonna get taxed. This is America, buddy, Uncle Sam is gonna get

729
00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:52,199
his Okay, Uncle Sam is gonna
tax your ass on that two hundred K.

730
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,320
He's gonna tax your ass when you
win twelve million. Speaking of Uncle

731
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:59,199
Sam, Uncle Sam's the big winner
from this main event because there's three American

732
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,639
five, so he's about the Uncle
Sam's about to get what there's twenty two

733
00:48:02,639 --> 00:48:06,519
point six million up for grabs.
Uncle Sam's about to get like six million.

734
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,159
It's a good day. What a
life for Uncle Sam. Guy doesn't

735
00:48:09,199 --> 00:48:12,880
have to Guy doesn't have to do
anything. Guy doesn't have to be you

736
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,840
know, he doesn't have to see
a raise in a three bet in front

737
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,280
of him sitting on the bubble with
two jacks. No, he just he

738
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,800
just finishes in second place. That's
what Uncle Sam does. Doesn't even need

739
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,599
to show up. Way to go, Uncle Sam away to let Jason Clark

740
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,280
roam. Yeah, we got way
off here. Yeah. So Jason Clark,

741
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,920
forty two years old, real estate
agent from Canada. Um he chopped

742
00:48:34,039 --> 00:48:38,199
a nightly heads up on Day one
C for twenty k and then bought into

743
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,639
Day one D. He busted on
Day two. I didn't see that he

744
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,960
bagged. Yeah, he bagged sixty
seven nine hundred. Well then I think

745
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,800
they had the wrong name. No, there was two on the thing.

746
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,320
Was he in the report? He
just didn't do your research right? Well

747
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,559
for me, you want to bet
me on this? Yes, okay,

748
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:58,480
let's better coffee that he's not in
the reports. So he played Day one

749
00:48:58,599 --> 00:49:00,639
D Monday. Okay, I'm gonna
look this up. Okay, you wanted

750
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:04,719
to talk about him, let me
continue anyway. Jason Clark. For the

751
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,880
next thirty years, he's going to
donate five percent of his main event action

752
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:15,000
to the Ontario Brain Institute in honor
of his brother who passed away eight years

753
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:20,800
ago. So that's a nice,
very nice contribution there from Jason. And

754
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,079
can you want a coffee? Yeah, that's all right, ship it,

755
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:28,280
sorry, but I'll buy it with
the gift code that you gave me for

756
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,880
it was his Actually I met Jason
about half an hour before play starts,

757
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,880
and I asked Jack, as this
Jason, He goes, yes, but

758
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,639
no one knows who it is.
Can you be discreted? Obviously, we

759
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,159
took photos of it, and we
took him on the stage, took photos,

760
00:49:43,159 --> 00:49:45,960
and then I brought him back here
to interview him. And we'll play

761
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,159
that interview right now. I'm standing
here with Jason Clark, the lucky winner

762
00:49:51,679 --> 00:49:54,280
of the thirty years seats in the
main event. I have to know when

763
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:59,519
you found out the news, what
what were you feeling that instant? It

764
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:02,440
was actually in disbelief. I would
I thought it might have been a friend

765
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:07,880
playing a joke, but it wasn't. And I feel very blessed and honored,

766
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,880
and I look forward to the opportunity. I've been told that you actually

767
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,599
want a deep stack here and then
pop light those winnings into a main event.

768
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,519
Sad. Is that is that true? Yes? So the day before

769
00:50:19,679 --> 00:50:22,760
one d of the main event,
I won just under twenty thousand two way

770
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,760
chop of the daily Deep Stack used
that winnings to buy into the main event.

771
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,119
And now I'm here, Were you
ever planning before that deep Stack ground

772
00:50:31,199 --> 00:50:34,519
that chop? Were you ever planning
on playing the main event or was that

773
00:50:35,119 --> 00:50:37,719
that twenty k score just like you
know what I'm gonna do it. I

774
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,239
was not planning on it. The
twenty k is what made me play.

775
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,760
I've also been told that you're actually
you know you're going to go up there

776
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,960
on stage so make an announcement,
but that you'll be dedicating five percent of

777
00:50:49,079 --> 00:50:54,239
charity. Yes, I will be. I'm going to be donateen five percent

778
00:50:54,480 --> 00:51:00,000
for the next thirty years to the
Ontario Brain Institute Foundation in memory of my

779
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:04,480
brother who passed about seventy eight years
ago. So sorry to hear about your

780
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:08,679
brother, but I'm guessing you know, making this donation or this future donation,

781
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,199
it means a lot to you,
especially with your brothers. Yes,

782
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,760
yes, Um, you know you've
got twelve WSP cashes prior to this,

783
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,840
you're brought to win. You know, the value of three hundred thousand dollars

784
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,880
in main event equity. That's better
than twenty seventh place in the main event.

785
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,360
That's kind of surreal that you've basically
on a lock up in a way,

786
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:30,559
three hundred thousand. Yes, I
feel truly blessed. Does this change

787
00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:32,840
how you approach you know, coming
to the WSP every year, or you

788
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:37,079
know, he's just going to be
kind of on a whim. I come

789
00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:42,840
to the WSP every year anyways,
so nothing's changed. They'll be here every

790
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,960
year regardless. And now it's extra
exciting because I know I'm guaranteed a seat

791
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:51,320
into the main event. But listen, good on him. Did you did

792
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,079
you ask him if he's going to
take two nd k or the or the

793
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,440
seat. No, but he's a
smart man. I think he would definitely

794
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,519
take the ridiculous You guys, absolutely, you are out of your mind,

795
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:08,400
like there's such a chim dusion.
I mean, the math sps the math

796
00:52:08,519 --> 00:52:15,639
says enough, math says in First
of all, you if you specifically got

797
00:52:15,679 --> 00:52:19,199
the two hundred k, you would
not put it in an investment. You

798
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,519
would be spending on that pool you're
putting in your backyard. Got the money

799
00:52:22,519 --> 00:52:25,039
you've ever decided? This is no
no, This is money on top of

800
00:52:25,079 --> 00:52:29,840
the pool. This is moving on
into moving on, moving on. I

801
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,159
know everyone out there listening will side
with me. You guys can tweeted us

802
00:52:32,199 --> 00:52:36,960
at downy underscore pers at tramp stoff
with a zero and we can figure it

803
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,599
out fifty and hold him shoot out
nine hundred and ninety seven entries for raz

804
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:45,480
Jaca finally gets a doub SP goldbrace
that he takes home two hundred and thirty

805
00:52:45,519 --> 00:52:51,360
seven thousand, three hundred and sixty
seven dollars. Then we have the nineteen

806
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,599
hundred and seventy nine dollars Poker Hall
of Fame Bounty Tournament, fourteen hundred and

807
00:52:55,679 --> 00:53:01,000
seventeen entries. Diego Ventura comes out
on top his first WSP goal bracelet.

808
00:53:01,079 --> 00:53:06,199
He also wins four hundred and two
thousand and fifty four dollars, the first

809
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:13,760
gold bracelet for the country of Peru, the sixty ninth country to secure WSOP

810
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:19,440
gold. Then in the twenty five
hundred dollars Omaha High Low Slash Stud High

811
00:53:19,559 --> 00:53:24,039
Low Split four hundred and sixty entries, there Bradley Smith comes out on top,

812
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:29,480
another first time gold bracelet winner two
hundred and twenty one thousand, seven

813
00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:35,199
hundred and thirty three dollars four Bradley
Smith. And then we had Dong Manks

814
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:39,119
winning the one thousand dollars Flipping Go
one thousand and twenty four entries. There,

815
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:44,360
Man takes home one hundred and sixty
thousand, four hundred and ninety dollars,

816
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,880
and guess what first time gold bracelet
winner as well the fifteen hundred dollars

817
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,239
noelmit hold him closer. Looks like
it's down to five players from a field

818
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:58,599
of three thousand, five hundred and
thirty one, six hundred and six thousand

819
00:53:58,639 --> 00:54:05,440
dollars. Up top, Peter Nie
is leading the way. I think they're

820
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,719
guaranteed one Drew sixty four. Look
at that. Jack Duong is still in,

821
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,480
so we'll talk about the winner of
that one. I think they're going

822
00:54:14,559 --> 00:54:16,639
to finish out today. So let's
talk about that one tomorrow, and then

823
00:54:16,679 --> 00:54:22,000
we have the ten thousand dollars noelam
and hold him six max. Six players

824
00:54:22,079 --> 00:54:25,119
left. Five hundred and fifty entries
were in this field. Huge field.

825
00:54:25,159 --> 00:54:28,840
I think they got like three sixty
or three eighty last year or so.

826
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,559
These numbers for these Nolan and Holding
fields are bananas. I'm telling you they're

827
00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:36,719
gonna need a bigger venue or more
starting days or something next year, because

828
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,880
this is getting crazy. More than
a million dollars for first place, one

829
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:45,000
million, fifty seven thousand. You've
got Alexander Reared leading the way. Stephen

830
00:54:45,079 --> 00:54:49,719
Chidwick is also in the mix.
Phil Hellmuth came close ninth place in his

831
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,400
quest for bracelet number eighteen. It's
also his birthday. It is Happy birthday,

832
00:54:53,559 --> 00:54:57,679
Phil Hellmuth. He said on Twitter
all he wanted to do on his

833
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,079
birthday was winning number eighteen, but
he fell short. Three thousand dollars horse,

834
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:07,400
three hundred and thirty one entries there, fifty seven players remain, fifty

835
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,760
two on the bubble, fifty are
in the money. It's ten pm on

836
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,840
day two. This is a seven
day event. These gotta be low limit

837
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:20,039
mixed game events are out of control? How long they take? Absolutely out

838
00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:23,480
of control? Two hundred and eight. I don't didn't see Kessler out there.

839
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,760
I mean he might stay. Oh
he's still in him. Oh so

840
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,039
he's loving it. You know he's
not loving it. The chip leader,

841
00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:31,360
Nick wau Genty is probably on life
tilled out there. Yes, you know,

842
00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:36,480
he likes the he likes the PGT
mix games. Two day tournaments played

843
00:55:36,519 --> 00:55:38,039
on the final table on day one, you know, get him out of

844
00:55:38,039 --> 00:55:40,880
there in two days. Forty middle
levels like let's go in and out.

845
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,599
I did hear from Nick himself that
he has not had a good couple of

846
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,639
days in the poker streets. I
think he's been playing the cash games.

847
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:52,320
But Chip later of this and has
a little little piece of mister Wymans,

848
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,840
look at the turn around. It's
going to turn around from miss Nick.

849
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,519
Look at that. So Nick wau
Genty is leading the way as they're on

850
00:55:59,559 --> 00:56:01,880
the bubble. This three K horse. Yeah, Chad eve sledges out there,

851
00:56:02,039 --> 00:56:06,960
Calvin Anderson, Kevin Gerhardt, Leonard
august And Jr. Carry and Scott

852
00:56:07,039 --> 00:56:10,920
Bollman will recap this one more as
it plays out. Today. Kicking off,

853
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,039
you had the one thousand dollars Noelman
holding freeze out seventeen hundred and ten

854
00:56:15,199 --> 00:56:19,079
entries, two hundred and seventy one
of them will be in the money two

855
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:22,719
hundred and thirty six thousand dollars.
Up top. You also had the ten

856
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,480
thousand dollars short deck tournament kicking off, assuming that's going to have Day two

857
00:56:25,519 --> 00:56:29,840
Redge that does have Day two Rage
only has forty players right now, so

858
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:35,159
pretty small field. Already lost a
few players, including Daniel mcgrono and ODB.

859
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:37,440
I'm just not sure a short deck
is it in the US. It

860
00:56:37,559 --> 00:56:43,679
just really seems like an Asian game
and a European game. But you know,

861
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,039
I think it's not well placed on
the schedule pick it needs to be

862
00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:51,239
earlier when people are still here.
And also maybe ten k is just not

863
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,960
the right price. The fifteen hundred
was very popular. Maybe we just keep

864
00:56:57,159 --> 00:57:00,320
how many. Yeah, I don't
think it was three hundred and something,

865
00:57:00,679 --> 00:57:05,159
But for an event that's not very
popular here in America, I think that's

866
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,679
you know, that's a pretty good
result. We had three hundred and sixty

867
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:13,559
three players and tai Ha one one
hundred and eleven K. Yeah, that's

868
00:57:13,559 --> 00:57:15,360
all right. I mean the ten
K short deck could probably be a twenty

869
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:20,000
five K short deck, and it
could probably be full of the main event.

870
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,719
Yeah, I mean, it's it's
just tricky. I mean the game,

871
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,000
it's funny short deck came onto the
scene a couple of years ago.

872
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,760
Everyone's like it's the game of the
future. It never really caught on here

873
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:31,760
in the US for whatever reason,
It's caught on elsewhere. You know,

874
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:36,440
it always does well in the Triton
series, you know, they always have

875
00:57:36,599 --> 00:57:38,880
like the back half of their series
is all short deck stuff. It does

876
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:43,159
well there, but it just never
really caught on here. So we'll see,

877
00:57:43,239 --> 00:57:45,079
you know, what happens. With
it. Maybe it's just with this

878
00:57:45,199 --> 00:57:46,559
higher buying one. Maybe it's just
a shift in buying. I don't know

879
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:50,280
if they'll go like lower, go
to a five k. Maybe they go

880
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,039
higher, make it a fifteen or
twenty five, something like that, you

881
00:57:53,159 --> 00:57:55,960
know. I mean, the people
that play the high buying short deck,

882
00:57:57,039 --> 00:57:59,800
I think they like to play pretty
high. So yeah, we'll see if

883
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,719
they do that. But yeah,
I mean, we'll see what comes around

884
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,440
next year. I would expect,
you know, they're still on the schedule,

885
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:07,440
but you know, you never know
what's coming up. Well, the

886
00:58:07,559 --> 00:58:12,840
headlining event, the WSM event down
to three Steven Jones, Daniel Weinman,

887
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,639
Adam Walton. They're gonna play it
out for a twelve point one million dollar

888
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:23,800
world champion on Monday, July seventeenth. The live stream will be on poker

889
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:30,000

891
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:36,960
delay. The live stream will kick
off at two pm Vegas time. That's

892
00:58:37,039 --> 00:58:42,679
five pm on the East Coast.

896
00:58:55,719 --> 00:58:59,679
close out. There's also two online
events running right now. There's A five

897
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,239
and A seven seven seven. Those
are running online right now, So we'll

898
00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:07,880
have updates on all that sort of
stuff as we close things out here at

899
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,119
the record breaking twenty twenty three World
Series of Poker. I don't think they've

900
00:59:12,119 --> 00:59:14,679
sent out official numbers for like,
you know, they always send out like

901
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,480
we had one hundred and fifty thousand
total entries. They'll they'll probably send that

902
00:59:17,519 --> 00:59:20,840
out at the end of the summer
and it's gonna be wild. It's probably

903
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,800
gonna break two hundred thousand. It's
just absolutely bananas. These fields, you

904
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:28,280
know, a bunch of fields set
insane records. So yeah, so I'm

905
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,360
looking forward to kind of reading through
those statsu. So yeah. So that's

906
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,559
gonna wrap up our talk of the
World Series of Poker stuff. We're gonna

907
00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:37,039
send it on down the street.
I'm gonna let Tim talk about the the

908
00:59:37,199 --> 00:59:40,880
Alpha eight for one job his baby
by the way, I saw the winter

909
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,039
photo. We'll talk about who won
it, but I saw the Winter four

910
00:59:44,119 --> 00:59:46,920
three trophies again. I mean,
it's just like it's out of control.

911
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,800
Why are we doing three trophies for
one tournament? What are we doing here?

912
00:59:52,519 --> 00:59:57,320
I don't know. Somebody help.
I'm not sure the gloss bottle you

913
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,159
and I the trophy though, because
when I was last night, I got

914
01:00:00,239 --> 01:00:02,840
the water. I was given the
one drop water bottle. They have a

915
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,199
water station with people on there.
You can get sparkling water yet still water.

916
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,559
I got the sparkling I saw some
video, but it has those blue

917
01:00:10,599 --> 01:00:14,800
bottles there, so I think it's
actually a like a like a vase,

918
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:19,440
like a display item, not the
actual trophy. It might be the actual

919
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,039
trophy, but I'm assuming the winner
gets it. It's in the winner photo.

920
01:00:22,119 --> 01:00:25,119
I want it maybe, but maybe
I can get off the winner,

921
01:00:25,159 --> 01:00:29,360
but the winner. You know how
much these trophies cost. I don't think

922
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,119
it's a trophy. I think it's
like a saying in general the trophies,

923
01:00:31,159 --> 01:00:35,000
like we do the PGT trop how
much they spend, how much they spending

924
01:00:35,039 --> 01:00:37,440
on these trophies. How the A
trophies three feet tall? That was cool

925
01:00:37,519 --> 01:00:42,000
though, it is cool, but
it's what what are we doingphies. Trophies

926
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,440
are awesome, unless this is the
south Point coin that you can sell for

927
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:52,079
a dollar one hundred dollar, hundred
dollars w undred dollars trying to straight buy

928
01:00:52,199 --> 01:00:55,880
one share of the spill. I
put one hundred dollars in. You don't

929
01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:00,400
need to just you just auto invest
forty five entrance three hundred and fifteen thousand

930
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:06,159
dollars going to the one drop.
That's a really good yeah, crushing a

931
01:01:06,239 --> 01:01:08,679
lot of re entries, including our
Lord and Savior carry cats um. The

932
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:15,800
winner, Jonathan Jaffee wins one point
five million dollars, defeats fellow WT Champions

933
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,239
Club member Taylor von Kriegenberg heads up
for he had just over a million bucks.

934
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,360
Dan Smith third place seven hundred k, Lexie Ponacobs four hundred and eighty

935
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:30,760
five k in fourth. Michael Limb
Malaysian businessman that actually doesn't have the name

936
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,800
Michael Limb. That's he's what's it
called pseudonym, so you call it he's

937
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,480
pseudonym, but he won three hundred
and fifty k iron lightboard. They're just

938
01:01:37,519 --> 01:01:43,079
putting fake names and the results what
he wants to go by, Michael,

939
01:01:43,119 --> 01:01:45,719
I can just do that. Can
you just do that. Yeah. When

940
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,320
Yeah, I think when you're someone
important and special and rich, I think

941
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,880
you can do what you want.
Got it? So Iron Light Bond six

942
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:57,559
place, two hundred and seventy K, Isaac Hason seven place. He bubbled

943
01:01:57,639 --> 01:02:00,880
the live stream final table, but
he took home two hundred and twenty two

944
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:05,320
K. Late last night, I
actually turned up. They've been kind of

945
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,119
taking a while to get down to
that final six. Two eliminations in ten

946
01:02:08,199 --> 01:02:13,800
minutes. So I was the other
grim reaper. I was the Jeff Platt

947
01:02:14,159 --> 01:02:19,159
