Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast.
My name is Donnie Peters. I am joined by Tim Duckworth. How
are you, my friend, I'm a little sad, very sad. Let's
get into it. Why are you said? Because I busted the eight game
today? I thought I played well and I got called No, I didn't
play well. I felt I played many hands. Well, you told me
one hand and literally the first thing that you said, I said, that's
wrong. Look, we can open the five four spades and the cut off
in limit hold him it's allowed. No, I don't think you should be
opening the five four spades. Look in like level four of a tournament.
It was like level That's not the point. I would not be opening the
five four spades. I just would not be doing let's pull up to GTA
Wizard for that one MT. They definitely don't have a limit hold him chart,
and I would not be opening five four spades in limit hold him.
I just wouldn't do it until, like, maybe much later in the tournament.
But the big line was China, he's super tired. He just follows.
Wait was the big one really Chino? Then I would a thousand percent
not be opening the five four spade with Chino Reem is gonna rescue breaking news
ready. China Reem is a new new man playing tight. It's a message
he wants to. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure he's playing real tight
out there. He was. He was like, I was only showing him
like knots, every ham, every hand. Yeah, the hands that he
shows are then that he was showing every hand. Mean, John's was giving
him crap for But anyway, let's let's move on. Um. All right,
it is Monday morning, Sunday night, new episode of the show.
Today, we're gonna be talking community cards because we got some fun stuff to
talk about. We got a winner in the Badugie event. We have a
double ko to win a gold bracelet. Josh Area picked up another gold bracelet,
his fifth. Leon Sturm won the fifty K Nolan would hold them high
roller. We're gonna look at the PGT Lead Award because a couple events that
wrapped up today had some implications in terms of the points race. There.

Okay, we got multiple bullet points at timpot. First things first, though,
we got to play the into attention Attention. Good morning, good afternoon,
and good evening to 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.
We're gonna shout out. Firstly, Ronnie bought out ninth Limon Hardam Championship.
He had the hat, didn't wear it during the Limon Hoddam Championship ninth he
only finished ninth. He also didn't know that it was a microphone on the
hat. He thought it might have been a whistle. So he's an idiot.
Lewis Hillman fifth place finishing. We talked about his story the other day.
Came up to us Louie louis Sweet lou. You can't name him Sweet
lou that you gave that nick name to somebody else, you cannot now give
it to Luke, and I'm giving it to sweet Loui Hillman. Remember he
signed the stream without the hat, but he put it back on immediately got
to double up Ace Jack versus Ace Queen. Yeah, he started to spin
it right back, spin right. It was in fifth place, and I
think he took home eight k beautiful or thereabouts for that run in the ten
k limit hold him championship, and it was mister Hillman's second time cashing in
that event. I think he also cashed in two nineteen, So very good
for Louis Hillman. As I was leaving the eight game after I had busted,
he yells out at me. Family pot pulls me over to the rail.
He's saying, look, lucky hat once again about to cash the eight
hundred deep stack. There you go, So he's got two cashes. My
friend Joey put the hat on play the Gladiators day one day, cashed in
that Paul Burmany and not the cash today in the eight hundred deep stack.
And finally, our friend Mickey Doptus sitting right beside us. He went away
for a little bit because he thought he's gonna make it too much noise because
he's eating. He's yellow sandwich, crazy sandwich or whatever that is. I
didn't give him a hat, but we gave him a beanie, so it's
a lucky beanie. I don't think I've ever seen Mickey wear a hat.
He doesn't wear hats, but we gave him a beanie. He went to
register the RAZ, jumped in, he poly that into twelfth place. That's
right, baby, and we're going to talk to him right now about it.
I mean, how was it, How was the experience? Great experience,
my second time cashing in the RASH. I hadn't I think the last
two years that I played, I registered slightly late, maybe like level two
or level three, and was out by level six. So this year I
was like, you know, I'm gonna do something different. I'm gonna I
didn't really have a choice. I flew in the day of the tournament,
but I sat down during level seven, so immediately I was already further along
than I had been the previous two years. But I know for months thinking
ahead to this tournament that's what I was going to do, and that,
along with the beanie, obviously things worked out pretty well. Lucky Bany,
Lucky Beanie. Yes, day one, you did pretty well. Overall Day
two, you know you're in the thick of it. Then you obviously the
money bubble burst. There was a weird thing that happened where somebody stood up
and like congratulated Alan Kessler on getting his hundred first or whatever finish it was
with the WSP cool whatever, and then and then you're grinding. You're grinding,
you're grinding. Next thing, you know, there's four tables left.
There's three tables left. You know it's the final two tables. Like,
was there pressure? Did you feel out of sorts where you overly excited?
Like what was going through your mind? Were you just like you know,
and I'm just hanging out. I'm doing a RAZ tournament. It's my thing,
no big deal. Felt a little pressure around the bubble even though I
had like seven bets, which is plenty and limit. But I really wanted
to cash just because the previous I guess the last couple events I've played at
the World Series over the years, I haven't even sniffed the Day two.
So just the fact that I was in We've all been there. Just the
fact that I was in this spot, it was like, you know,
it'd be nice to cash. Just it's been a while, and yeah,
once I was in the money, didn't care in the slightest like any hand
I've got, let's go, and really just bounced around between like three and
ten big bets all day, never ran it up and never busted, and
just stayed in the middle and it worked out. Who was the best player
you played against? Anyone stick out that you were like, Wow, this
guy is good, or these people are good, or was everyone kind of
what you expected about? Midway through day two, justin Liberto was moved to
my table. He came with a pile of chips, got a little unlucky,
and then found himself all in twice won both of them. Then he
just like he went legit from like one fifty to forty to twenty to forty
and then maybe like two sixty within an hour. Meanwhile, I'm just pretty
much folding and any down. But yeah, he was. I'd say he
was the player that really stood out to me. Did you think that players
played against you in a specific manner, maybe tried to bully you because you're
the reporter guy. I don't think so. Um. I don't want to
say I played tight. I really just didn't get that many hands but I
found a couple of spots where you know, I threw in a I threw
in two beats with not very good cards underneath, but just have to represent
it sometimes. Not that many people knew me though. Um there was a
point with I think it was five four or five tables left where it wasn't
a hand against Marco, it was a hand against somebody else, but Marco
I made some It was a bit of a weird hand, but I made
a pretty what I think was a pretty good raise on Seventh Street to the
point, and Marco Johnson about ten minutes later after the other, after the
player I beat in the hand busted, you know. He he complimented me
on the rays and then he was like, you're you're the reporter guy,
right, the reporter guy. I love it. So it was nice to
get a cop or all the reporter guys. So it's whatever. It's nice
to get a compliment from an awesome I played with Marco at the Rio in
the fifteen dollar Horse. I think I think he played every single hand like
an absolute maniac and was just bulldozing the table. It was unreal to play
against him. He ended up busting me. Yeah, very good player,
very aggressive. How did he play? Was he aggressive or was he just
kind of chilling or he wasn't overly aggressive. There was a spot where I
remember two hands specifically from yesterday, where he could have eaten it. Basically
he and I were the only two low cards. I was in the one
seat, he was in the eighth seat, and so while he was on
my right, like you know, we weren't really chatting, but there were
spots where he could have just where I figured he was going to open because
I'm the only low card behind him, and he didn't. So he mixed
it up quite a bit. You know, he wasn't overly aggressive, but
you know, you can't really you know, when he is playing a hand,
you can't say, okay, well, I mean he's got nothing because
he's playing everything. He just wasn't. So Raz is obviously your game.
You obviously pay attention to this form of poker a lot. You've taken some
shots in this tournament. One year, we got some you know, we
basically crowdfunded money to get you into the ten k Raz. You had a
better experience in this one than you didn't that ten kay Rasks, I think
you were out on day one there, did you know that this was the
largest RAZ tournament ever at the DIBISSB five hundred and fifty six entries. At
some point yesterday somebody had mentioned that. I didn't realize that. That was
surprising to hear. And now you're you're you're the twelfth place finisher in the
largest RAZ tournament, the twelfth best yeah RAZ player in the world. I
mean, it's it's amazing. You should hang your hat on that. I
hope the RAS tournament just gets bigger and bigger. Were what was your Obviously
have a lot of friends here, like you know, a ton of people
at the World Series of Poker from working here over the years, players that
you've covered all over the world, blah blah blah. But what was it
like with like your family back home where they like sweating it, texting you
NonStop, Like you know, I know your family plays poker, So what
was that like? There was a group chat with a few of my siblings
and my mom. I was just giving them updates. I don't think anybody
was getting a whole lot of sleep because we're playing late into the night last
night there, but every so often, like you know, they chime in
woke up for five minutes, how's it going and give them updates, and
it was nice to have their support along with everyone in the poker community also
well, we were definitely all pulling for you. Unfortunately, Day three didn't
go your way. Um what ultimately happened, it seemed like you, I
think you knocked someone out right away, got up to over six k.
It's just just a It didn't knock anybody out, but just a small little
hand, a good start and then a spot where I was I felt really
good about just the way it was developing justin. Liberto opened with a seven
and I forgot who it was, but took Outshi. So he he made
it two bets with something I looked down. I think it was like five
dus three. I made it three bets. I was pretty sure Liberto.
Liberto was, having watched him yesterday, very aggressive, and so I figured,
you know what if I make it three bets here, I think he'll
likely fold. He did, so that was great, you know, just
get it heads up and with the with the gura. Unfortunately, my runout
was lousy. His runout was better. I had to give it up,
so then I was really just on four bets and I couldn't really get back
above that, so it was kind of just, you know, if I
was able to really just take take the aunties and hover around there, that
that's pretty much all I could do. And then I got it in against
the Dmitri Irbanovic. We each had I think we had just gone to fifty
one hundred limits. I had two hundred and fifty five K, he had
one hundred fifty K. I looked down at a sus four. He looked
down at six four three. It's getting in and unfortunately he was the winner
in that one. Brutal, brutal Why they got to give that guy the
runout? Not you just it's unfair. Did you have a chance to play
with David Baker? I did not, Okay, I did not. I
would have liked to, because he's a very good rats player. And you
know, even even though you don't, you know, you'd like a lot
of soft spots at your tables. He's definitely one of them. I don't
know if anyone can hear Tim talking off Mike, he's completely butchering the fact
that he handed his mic over to Mickey. Yeah, but then you can't
talk just sit there and be quiet. Okay, this is not how this
works. Rich is probably screaming at the computer at home about all this producing
that he has to do. Always be producing. But he's gonna have to
really produce what we're doing right now. But he'll make it work. Yeah,
but with I would have liked to play. You want, if you're
just constantly playing against bad players, you know, you're not really going to
be prepared when you run into a good player. Yeah, so I would
have liked to you know, you know, if you get the chance to
like watch a really good player work on his craft, you know, I
think, you know, you gotta sit back and take notes. How how
do RAZ isn't played everywhere? I mean it's probably played nowhere, To be
honest, I mean, how do you like keep up with the game?
You obviously love playing RAZ? You know, do you just try and play
it online as much as you can? Do you maybe find some games around
Florida? I don't know, Like it's I definitely couldn't find a RAZ game
here in Vegas if I tried, unless like it's the Bisipe. I know,
all you guys are in town, we go play a mix game.
We can get RAZ in the mix. So, you know, how do
you kind of keep yourself fresh with this game? The only way I really
do it is really two ways. I guess when I'm working specifically at the
Seminal hard Rock in Florida, when they run horse tournaments or now eight game
tournaments. You know, just like when when it gets there in the rotation.
So it's not much, but it's a little bit. You know,
I watch, I'm sort of I see a hand going on. I sort
of played out in my head. Okay, this guy should bet, he
should call. Oh he folded, that's a bad fault. Oh, this
guy bet, this guy should raise. Oh he called? Like you know,
he sort of played it in your head. I'm sure you guys have
done that too when you've when you've watched mixed games. And then sometimes I'll
play in an online group. But you know, there just isn't a whole
lot of rats to go around, even even this summer. Outside of the
ten k Raz in a couple of days, there's only one other RAS tournament
in Las Vegas over the entire summer. You're going to be in it?
The other? Are you going to be in it? The ten k No
the other? The other one. No, I'm not going to be in
last. It's not even going to be in it. No, you're the
great, You're the twelfth greatest RAS player in the world, and you're not
going to show up. What is this? How to get back to Florida.
Gotta get back to Florida. All right, Well, hopefully this is
the first of many deep runs for you. I know you're playing a handful
of events. I know you played the eight game today, didn't find a
bag, but not a big deal because twelfth place finished in the RAZ is
certainly something to hang your hat on, be proud of. And uh,
you know, just go get go get him in the next one. Whenever
that maybe that's the plan. Let's just start with the RAZ, you know,
because we just talked all about RAZ with the you know, the twelfth
best RAZ player in the world. Now, m we're gonna get into the
number one RAZ player in the world, and that is mister David ODB Baker,
friend of the podcast, Friend of Gridiron Gamble, my other podcast.
I think you all should like and subscribe to that one as well. Sorry
for the shameless plug. I don't care. So yeah, ODB gets to
heads up play today with the person that you just heard in Mickey Doff talk
about a little bit justin Laberto, and Odb got down to one big bet.
I think maybe two big bets. I don't know he was super short,
he was for sure, all in a couple of times, ends up
spinning it all the way back up complete to the comeback lands his third Wsop
Gold bracelet. He had previously finished second in this event in twenty seventeen.
That same year twenty seventeen, when he finished second in the fifteen hundred all
arras, he took third in the ten k ras. I believe he also
had another final table, and I want to say it was a fifth place
finish in the fifteen hundred all arras in a different year. So Odb seems
like he's quite the RAZ player, loves the game, seems to perform extremely
well in it over the over the years and half success and now he is
a three time gold bracelet winner and the winner of the largest RAZ tournament in
WSOP history. All right, David Baker, third bracelet? Close call the
other day in the bidug event. How important are these things too? I
mean, I think if you um, if you pulled all the poker players
on to put together a list of who loves it more. I think I'd
probably be in the top ten lists. So I mean I love this stuff.
Um, I lived for this, and um yeah it means a lot,
very means a lot. Some close calls in Raz, specifically today,
it kind of looked like it might get away from you. You were down
to one, two big bets, but you battled back. I mean,
what's what's the comeback feel like? Yeah, a few years ago, Um,
I think I was up thirty to one, had a verse Jason Gola,
and he came back and that was really the most disappointed I had been,
not from a money perspective, um, just from a not winning perspective,
and that one really ate me up. So it really there's a lot
of redemption to come back in the exact event that you know, I felt
like he kind of stole for me, even though he earned it. I
mean, he played great and made a great comeback. But yeah, I
mean I have now I have a first, a second, a third,
and a fifth and ras So that's, um, that's pretty good. I
mean I got short and I just you know, I've been around this a
long time and I know in these limit events that sometimes you just need to
win that pot and sometimes it just kind of gets away from you sometimes where
where you just it seems insurmountable. But really all you have to do is
just win that pot and just stay alive until you win that important pot that
gets you, you know, to that next plateau, and then you can
start building from there. And so, you know, I never lost hope.
You mentioned your deep runs in Rats obviously this bracelet. What is it
about this game specifically that allows you to have so much success? You know,
I'm really not sure because I'm not like, you know, you could
sit here and ask me the equities of certain spots, and I don't know
as well as a lot of other people. But I just have like a
really good feel for the game, and I have a good feel for my
opponents. And I mean, I think one of my biggest poker skills is
just the ability to zig and zag and just kind of sometimes I need to
play really tight, and sometimes I need to play really aggressive, and sometimes
I need to play passive, and you know, I just I just am
pretty good at taylor making my style for my opponents or my table. So
um, yeah, I think that's kind of my key in general and poker,
because I'm definitely not the most technically sound player that you know that plays
all these but I got a lot of fucking heart, and I got a
lot of good ability to read the situations and people, and so yeah,
another thing, you have a lot of his supporters, friends and family.
The rail kept growing as the night went on. Did that add to the
pressure? Did it make it easier? And then how does it feel to
win in front of all of them? Yeah? It was great. Um,
you know, I love my friends and my family. My mom was
here and my wife obviously, And I don't necessarily think it brought me more
pressure because I really just didn't have any pressure because I was short, and
so if I lost, I wasn't gonna, you know, go and cry
about it, because you know, Justin played amazing and he built a chip
stack and he would have deserved to win if he finished me off, so
it wouldn't have been like it was. I never really thought about winning when
we were at the final table and forehanded, and when we're forehanded, I
came back from dinner the shortest, and you know, it just had to
kind of survive and stuff. I had a really key hand three handed where
I made an absolutely sick read and call and that kind of propelled me and
got me back in it and I started up heads up like I thought I
had a shot, but I wasn't really gonna get to like caught up in
it. And then you know, he ground me down and he got me
really short, and I just you know, I stayed really focused. A
lot of times in the past, what I had done was, you know,
I got up and I talked to my rail in between hands and all
this stuff. And I think I realized, like when I won my WPT,
I really stayed in that moment and I didn't really get up from the
table and I didn't really converse with them except you know quick like two minutes
on break and then I would go be by myself. And I think I've
learned like that that's really what I need to do, is just stay in
the zone and stay in the game. And so yeah, that's what I
That's what I did, David. The phrase you used, who loves it
more? UM days like today are kind of the payoff for all those day
ones, all that grinding. Can you just speak a little bit to that
and about UM making all of that count. Yeah, I mean, I
absolutely love this stuff. I mean I tried to get him to not go
on dinner break because I wanted I was short, and I wanted a chance
to either run it back up or bust in time to co late Redgey eight
game. I even considered on dinner break going and dropping a stack there and
playing for an hour on dinner break and try to build a little stack and
then come back just in case I busted early. But ultimately I just decided
that you know, it's in a different room, and it's far away,
and there's a lot of limit games in there, and I decided, you
know what, let's just eat and spend time with my wife and my mom
and yeah, and then I just came back and I did it. He
was pretty pumped about winning, of course, you know, he always wants
to win. Had a close call a couple days ago when he took eighth
place in the Bedougi. I know that stung for him, but he was
able to get the job done in the fifteen hundred dollar rats good stuff,
right, Yeah, Yeah, that's it. That's all you got to offer
me. I mean, that's all I have. He's I was over there
for twenty minutes. I don't think I started him lose a hand, That's
what happened out and one. Yeah, but he was losing a lot of
hands early May. It was the good luck chun. He was short.
He was short when they went on dinner break with four left, or the
shortest stack when they went on dinner break with four left. You know,
he got short obviously, heads up against Liberto, and he was just able
to turn the tables, um, you know, spin it up and get
it done. He had a big rail. Greg Mueller was on the rail.
Ray Henson was on the rail Manco Johnson. Yes, yes, I
mean there was a lot of people on the rail. His wife was there,
his mom was there. It seemed like, I don't know, probably
every twenty minutes or so, one or two more people would come over and
join his rail. So pretty lively for a rats tournament. You know,
you wouldn't think that it would be a fun thing to sweat, but it
was. And David Baker got the job done. As I mentioned, his
third gold bracelet his two other ones. He won the fifteen hundred dollars eight
game tournament back in twenty twelve, I believe and then in twenty nineteen he
won the fifteen hundred dollar limit hold Him tournament. He's also a WPD champion,
having won the WPTLAPC for a million bucks. So yeah, David Baker
is certainly moving up in the ranks in terms of, like, you know,
poker accomplishments, accolades and all that sort of stuff. Let's go back
in time to that fifteen hundred dollar Padugie event. It needed an additional day.
Michael Rodriguez takes it down the first ever Bidugie event at the USIPE five
hundred and sixteen entries. Tim and I have talked about this tournament a lot
of times already. We think it's absolutely incredible that it got five hundred and
sixteen entries. Michael Rodriguez wins one hundred and forty four thousand and six hundred
and seventy eight dollars. It needed an additional day because it had so many
dang people. We wanted to keep playing the greatest game, but doogie.
I always have a blast when I play again. I think it's super fun.
I kind of had always thought it would become as ap event sooner than
it did. That said, I'm happy that it's here. I'm happy that
I saw the turnout. I personally believe that it should get a ten K
version next year. I think it's ready. You know, if you would
have done this fifteen hundred dollar one, and we've talked about this on the
podcast, if you'd have done this fife hundred all one, you get two
hundred fifty players. Okay, whatever, it's good, it's not too great.
It can stay on the schedule, but you also probably don't want to
add a ten k five hundred and sixteen, add a ten k, let's
go. So that's where I'm at with that's congratulations to Michael Rodriguez. He
took that down again, one hundred forty four, six hundred and seventy eight
dollars, And that was the one that ODB finished eighth in event twenty one,
the one thousand dollars PLO Deep Stack. So why don't you just tell
us what happened on this one? First of all, the eventual winner had
to put a what's it called when you say, hey, way, don't
bring me too many drinks? Stop? Like just yeah, So he was
on some kind of drink minimum moment. I was reading like in the in
the updates or something that he he basically like told the way to like bring
me a drink, like every like twenty minute, That's what it was,
and then I can't have it. Yeah. Yeah, you should see some
of his winner shots. You can tell he's a little intoxicated, but he's
drunk. Yeah, I mean, you're playing PLO, I mean you might
as well get drunk. I mean yeah, I was basically watching that.
I was like, oh, maybe this can finish, we can get a
winner shot. And then all of a sudden there was a three way all
in. Um it was a three eight five board, two spades. Eventually
when to Stephen got it in with a flush straw and the straight draw.
We had two other guys. One guy got in with bottom set and then
that guy got it in with a bit of a bit of everything, A
bit of everything. I mean, he's got some backdoor stuff, he's got
some tough pass stuff, but it's just been nothing. River comes the straight
Stephen knocks both players out. They double check the chips. He celebrated.
The dealer double checks the chips and he guys, did I win? Yes,
Okay, He celebrates again, double knockout to win a brace. So
that's kind of a pretty cool way to do it. Has that ever happened
before? I'm sure it has. I'm sure it has as well. I
don't think I've ever been aware of it, Like, I do not have
that in my stats duck. But I also don't have it like in my
memory. Like since I've been coming and working at the speed since two thousand
and eight, I don't recall a double elimination to win a bracelet happening.
You know, a lot of times there's a chance, if there's a chance
for it, you know, like the third person gets out of the way
because they know that they can ladder up and they can get the heads of
play and whatever. I do remember on the World Poker Tour, when was
it Phil Gordon won and knocked out I think he won Bay one on one
and knocked out Chris Moneymaker and another player who I forget who it was.
You should look this up because you're the statsman. Um, She'll start though,
but I'll look it up. You should look it up. And Mickey's
like, basically, mister WPG, he should just rip it off. But
I'm pretty sure I watched that happen on TV when I used to watch the
World Poker Tour every week, like on the Travel Channel wherever it was on
at the time, Sued show j Phil Gordon one, right, was it
Bay one on one? Yep? Yep? And Chris Moneymaker, Yeah,
and there was. It was a double elimination on the last hand. But
that's like the famous one that I always remembered. I had never recalled one
happening at the World Series of Poker during my time. You know, even
if I, like may have not been covering the tournament, I think I
would have heard about it, just like this one. You know, I
wasn't covering the one KPLO. We were doing something else. Are probably on
another stream, But you said to me, hey, did you see what
happened in this tournament? It was a double knockout for a bracelet, you
know, so so yeah, um, Stephen Num two hundred and sixty seven
thousand dollars two hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars basically and scores the double knockout
for the win. Crazy crazy finish. There of course, a lot of
fun though, and congratulations to Stephen Num. Moving over to the ten thousand
dollars limit hold Them Championship, the min Bet Championship of the World. An
additional day was needed in this one. Remco and I handled live streaming for
this one. On day three, which was supposed to be the final day,
they came back with fourteen players. I can't remember. I think I
think it was fourteen. So there was one hundred and thirty four entries in
this one, up from last year, I think quite a bit. They
had thirty late entries, okay, which is just seems that seems bananas to
me. So they get down to the final four team. We're kind of
watching it, you know, playing it by ear because we're supposed to stream
it that day on the secondary YouTube stream, and they get down to nine.
We lost Ronnie Barda in ninth place. We lost Kevin Song in eighth
place. Um, they played out a level. We sent him on a
dinner break. We bring him back and it's a stacked final table. It's
got Nick Schulman added, it's got Joe McKeon added, it's got Josh Aria
added, it's got Dan Idema added, I mean, it's just awesome.
It's got our new favorite guy, Nzomo Shimizu, h mister Hodukin himself,
mister Japanese number one telemarketer, just like the most electric player at the twenty
twenty three World Series of Poker. So far he's been an absolute blast to
watch. Um and as it turns out, so yeah, don't don't forget
stood. Louis Hillman was also there. Um so is Nick Pipito was also
there. Um so stacked stacked final table. Josh Aria comes out on top
to win his fifth gold bracelet. The tournament needed an extra day, so
they play out the structure. Um, they wrap up. I don't know,
I don't two am, So we stream from seven until they get down
to they have three players left. It was josh it was Dan Idema,
and it was Nazomo Shimizu. Josh Aria doubles up on the final hand of
the night. Okay, so then they go to bed. They come back.
Aria comes. Aria starts off the stream by talking about how he did
only got four hours asleep because he had a light on in his room that
he couldn't turn off and it wouldn't turn off. But because he has a
dog with him, he didn't want to call the hotel people to have him
come up and fix it because he doesn't think that he's allowed to have the
dog in the room, so he didn't want to get in trouble. So
that was the whole thing. So he tried to sleep, but he couldn't
because the light was on, and yeah, there was a whole thing.
But he immediately goes on a heater, spins it up, gets into the
chip lead in like half an hour, and then proceeds to go on to
win. Shimizu finishes in third place, his second third place finish of this
world series. He finished third in the five thousand dollars an old him freeze
out. Now he finished his third and the ten thousand dollars limit hold him
championship. So then it was josh Aria, who at the time was a
four time gold bracelet winner against Daniel Idema, who was a three time gold
brace the winner. And Idema had won this event before, back in twenty
and eleven. The year before that, twenty ten, he took second place,
so very well versed in limit hold him. So they get heads up.
It's kind of a back and forth battle. They're swinging back and forth.
Eventually Aria takes a lead, stretches it out, gets the job done
and wins number five. Did you get to watch it all? I watched
a little bit. I watched mainly the first day of the final table sweating
out Boy Sweet Lou sweating. But I watched a little bit of a little
bit of today and but mainly from actually live like outside of the final table.
But it was wildly entertaining both days, Hold Him, wildly entertaining to
show you meant that you would never you would never think that it was.
But it was awesome. Wasn't there something like ten thousand people watching? Yeah,
so ten thousand people are great. We were crushing it on the livestream.
It was so good. Everyone was a real event, Like imagine when
we have a real This was a real event. It was amazing. Afterwards,
Jeff Platt, so we had the fifty k high roller stream that was
happening on Poker Grow at Well, it was going to happen later, but
so Jeff hopped over and spoke with Aria afterwards, and we're going to have
that audio for you now. All right, the ten K limit Hold Him
Championship, it's just wrapped up. Josh Ari wins bracelet number five. You
entered the fourth day of this tournament as a pretty significant short stack. What
led to this come back dude, this is so fucking crazy. My first
bracelet in ninety nine was limit hold Him. Kevin's Song came in eighth place.
I told Rachel. I showed her. I showed her that pulled up
the table and I was like, do you notice anything? And I told
her, I said, Kevin Song is going to finish in eighth place,
and I'm gonna win. Kevin Song finished in eighth place. So it's like
twenty four years full circle and I'm just the best limit holding player in the
world. Yeah. Absolutely, clearly. You mentioned your fiance, Rachel,
She's all the real right there, first bracelet for you since getting engaged.
Yeah, does it hold any extra meaning? Now? This is just awesome,
dude. My life is so fucking good. I mean it's I'm ecstatic
everything in my life, my amazing relationship, my relationships with my kids,
my career. I couldn't be happier. I'm gonna make it even better because
I am going to present you with your fifth World Series of all Right.
If it number twenty three fifty thousand dollars, no, it hold him one
hundred and twenty four entries, coming out on top to win his first World
Series of poker goal bracelet was Leon Sturm. He bested Bill Klein to take
home more than one point five million dollars in prize money bills. It was
Bill Klein's second runner up finish at the World Series of Poker. He took
a second place to Jonathan Duhamel back in twenty and eleven in the hundred and
eleven thousand whatever. That was high roll over one drop. So that was
Bill's other close call. I think that was his only other final table on
WSP event. I think you know he had an eight an eight eighth place.
Yeah, I think in what you're talking about the other one job.
But he doesn't come close a lot in WSP events, doesn't play a huge
schedule them, but he will be out there battling him the high rollers.
Except this year he's been playing some of the mixed games. He played the
limit of schemes he has been. I think he played. I feel like
he played this god that he is, he's just going forth, he's just
firing well. Stem is twenty two years old. What yeah, twenty two
years old from Germany. Believe he lives in Austria. Bill Klein is seventy
five years old. Talk about an age gap. Yes, I mean that's
just insane. Stem comes out on top Bill Bill Klein like took the the
lead three handed. Stem ends up knocking out Jan's errands in third place.
Bill Klein started heads to play with the chip lead, but it didn't take
long for Storm to take the chip lead. He extended it from there and
the final hand was kind of a wacky one, like I don't really understand
what was going on in this, And I got in the Pokego chat because
I was watching the stream along with everyone over on PokerGO, and they were
all kind of thinking the same thing, like what's happening. Stem raises on
the button to one point two million, which was a min raise because they
were playing three hunder k six in ok. Bill Klein defends the big blind.
It comes jack eighty three with two spades. Klein checks Stem bets a
million, client calls the turn is a six and off suit six or red
six, and Klein just open rips for thirteen point seven million into a pot
of five million. He had he had eight five for second pair jack eight
three six. Sturm's got Queen Jackson, He's got top pair, decent kicker,
He's like, okay, gets a count, kind of verifies he's shoving
around thirteen to fourteen million. He's like, all right, I call cards
are on their backs. Here we go, river bricks out and yeah,
it's all over. I mean it kind of feels like Bill Cline just spazzed
out. That's a strong way because if we wind the back a little bit,
you remember the pocket falls hand when he shoved all in. When he
said afterwards that he misread it. I did not hear that. I was
I was watching that while playing the hight game was on the screen and me
and China were watching and were just like cheering. We were just like wanting
a fold from from yawns. Yeah he got the fold. Yeah he got
it. He listened to his hand. But I think I think afterwards he
said I misread it, whatever that means, I think that's I think that's
what he said. Yeah. I don't know if it was the board,
his hand like or whatever, but I'm pretty sure that's what he said.
Okay, Um, but yeah, I mean that Bill Klein's he's a gangster
man. He's he's out there, he's just battling. Um. So so
you know, good for him. Um, But good for leon Sturm,
who takes on more than one point five million dollars. Where does that put
him on the PGT leaderboard. Well, I mean we should probably go from
top to bottom, but uh, well, I want to know where it
puts him. He puts him in ninth. He's right there. He's ready
to make a run PGT Championship in December. So Alex Foxon also made the
final table. Um, well, the final five when when we started live
streaming, so it was Bill Klein obviously, leon Sturm, Jahn's Errands and
then Set Davies and Alex Foxon. Set Davies went out first, he went
out in fifth place. Um. Oh, by the way, leon sturmam
eliminated every player at the found in the final five, so he took out
Set Davies first, then he took out Alex Foxon um and with that finished
in fourth place. In this event, Alex Foxon jumped up to second place
on the PGT leaderboard. He's behind only Isaac Haxton, who's absolutely annihilating the
PGT lead aboard right now. Just to give you context, Alex Foxon is
in second with nine ninety one points and Haxon has what fourteen hundred and some
fourteen thirty six exactly, so big gap there. We already talked about leon
Stern moving up into ninth place after this win in the fifty K high Roller,
and then Bill Klein jumped up into twelfth place. Josh Aria he had
moved up into fifteenth place with his win in the Limit Hold Them. Then
the fifty K high Roller finished and some guys leap frogged him to kick him
down to seventeenth place. So still very good for josh Aria that he's able
to move up into seventeenth. He's now firmly in that top forty. And
of course, as we've said many times, the top forty finishers are the
top forty ranked players on the PGT leaderboard. At the end of the season,
those players get an invite to compete in the season ending PGT Championship Million
Dollar Free Roll, and that is the tournament that if you win one of
our dream seats that we're giving away. So if you're an annual subscriber and
we draw your name on July seventeenth, that's the tournament that you get to
compete in, so you could possibly be competing against Isaac Haxon, Alex Foxon,
Leon Stern, Bill Klein, Josh are on a total free roll against
some of the best and biggest poker players in the world. To win half
a million dollars, that would be bad ass. Event number eighteen, three
hundred dollars. Gladiators of Poker, thank you for the coffee ten Because Day
one D got eight thousand, four hundred and sixty seven entries A lot closed.
So then you thought, though, no, not you would talk about
ten thousand and one point. No, I mean I was questioning if they
could get to ten thousand. I mean, listen, they crushed it.
Day one A three nine hundred and forty, Day one B four thousand,
five hundred and seventy one, Day one C six thousand, one hundred and
ten and Day one D eight thousand, four hundred and sixty seven massive.
How many total is that? What's the number? Twenty three thousand and eighty
eight the second largest field. You wrote dubsip history, but it's live poker
history. Okay, there's no like, there's nothing that is true. Yeah,
number one is the Big fifty from two thousand, nineteen twenty eight thousand
and something entries. This one is in second place. Twenty three thousand and
eighty eight entries, almost five point seven million dollars in the prize pool,
five hundred thousand dollars for first place. They are down to the final fourteen.
Eric Trexler is leading the way with ninety seven point four million in chips.
The blinds are going to be one point two five million and two point
five million. I mean Trexler just lost the flip with like three minute.
It's five minutes ago. Ice King us Queen, So yeah, yeah,
that's not a flip. By the way, Ace Queen, Verse King not
a flip. Yeah, it's definitely not. But Ice King Vestus Ice Queen.
Uh yeah, So that was unfortunate for him. So he's crushing.
Um. I don't think there's any notable names left. Daniel Lagron, who
finished in seventy second, I believe it was I just know that he made
the female in twenty five Kay Fantasy and then busted shortly thereafter. I think
he ran ace Jack into Ace King was the final hand he opened. I
think the big blind jammed Nigron. You called it off with ace Jack.
His opponent had better and Nigron you did not win. Pretty crazy that they're
down to fourteen. Tomorrow his Monday or today is Monday when you're gonna be
listening to this. They are going to come back at noon and they are
going to play down to the final table of what eight nine? Well,
when do we start streaming nine oh nine? We're gonna start streaming to nine.
Okay, so they're gonna played a seven minute final table with these blinds.
So yeah, we get in time the cameras. Yeah, like today
we get on the live stream. Remco's like, you think they're gonna go
from eight hundred and twenty to the final table. I said, yeah,
they're gonna have like twenty players left, like it's gonna be It's bananas.
It was insane, like the end of day one was out of control.
So so yeah, so they got down to fourteen, they're gonna play down
to nine. Once they play down to nine, we'll move them over to
our secondary set aka the Horseshoe Feature Table, will set them all up for
streaming. We will go live on the Poker Go YouTube channel. Commentary will
be handled by Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks. Remco and I have the day
off of doing commentary, So yeah, that's gonna be a lot of fun,
a lot of money on the line for these players, probably in for
three hundred dollars, many of them the way I saw them play, Yes,
most likely, and yes it was yes there for sure and for three
hundred dollars. And it's it's great to see. And someone's gonna take on
half a million dollars. So that was great. Event Number twenty five the
ten thousand dollars Omaha High Low Championship. So this one, this championship event
is a four day events. They all need to be four day events.
The limit hold them just went four days? Did anything else go four days?
The study, the stud mine as well go four days? The do
you mean is scheduled for four days? Or they should schedule them all for
four days? Some like the Omaha the Horse about the stud No, but
yes that possibly should be PLO Championships four days, PPC's five days. Yeah
why not? Yeah? Um. So this event had two hundred and twelve
entries, four hundred and ninety two seven hundred ninety five dollars to the winner.
There are twenty six left at the time of recording. They are in
the money. Thirty two places paid out believe it was Michael Chow who finished
on the money bubble as the Bubble boy leaders include James Chen and don't be
confused used because there are two James Chens in the tournament I think, um,
and then they have James Chen like with us and brackets, and then
another James Chen. I don't know if they both made the money, but
there are two for sure, two of them, and they were sitting at
the same table for much of the day because it was very confusing to read
the updates. Okay, okay, I mean okay. Eric Sidelli still in.
He's second in chips. Wow, Johannes Becker, Chips, a K
Johnny Becker, Um, Kyle Cartwright both in Chips, Damn Jan Rodenoff fifth
and Chips. Even if Rodenof goes by Damien, we're gonna we're gonna call
him Damn jam because it's a way better sounding name. We apologize for you,
Rodenoff. You are on our twenty five K fantasy team. Until you
score points. We're not calling you by your Please make it happen, baby.
Um. How long do they gotta play today or are they done?
They are pretty much done Hotel, So this is probably is Sammy far hosteling
Sammi Farha. That's the right, baby, Sammy Farha. So this event
is a four day er and it's going to be streamed on our on our
free YouTube stream correct on Tuesday. So we got the glad Ears of Poker
taking place on Monday. Then on Tuesday we're going to have this Omaha High
Low Championship. Absolutely cannot wait for this one of it sounds like it's going
to set up to be quite the final table, a lot of fun um.
So yeah, and then hopefully Rodenoff goes on to victory. He's gonna
hear a shot, a silly stat that you don't care about. Yeah,
go ahead. This is Eric Sidell's six oh my high Low cash at the
World Series of Poka. There you go. So, I mean, where
does that like rank him? I don't put that into context for me,
Like if he's like the two under player to do that, I don't really
care. If he's like the fifth player to do it, then okay,
cool, No, I just here just looking at an individual Eric Seideld doc
so I only have Eric sitellen for I feel like that's not that good.
There's a lot of highl tournaments. Yeah, there is, there is,
there's what there's at least two every year? No, it is, Uh,
I'm not. I wasn't. Really there's at least two every year,
correct. Yeah. Would you like to know how many Omaha High Low twenty
minutes of being held in the I don't want to because I could. We're
not doing that. We're not doing that. We're gonna move on here too.
Event number twenty six, the eight hundred dollars hold them deep stack.
This is the tournament that I went and played all of like seventeen minutes in
four thousand and seven hundred and forty seven injuries, four hundred and two thousand
dollars for first place. This. Uh, next bullet point says Donnie dusted.
So I did the stream for limit, hold them, went over and
late redged, sat down with twenty bigs. I think played about seventeen minutes,
got it all in with eighth nine against ace Jack guy took a little
long to call me because you know, I don't know why. But yeah,
that was that, and uh yeah, so you didn't feel like registering
again. I was like, the hell with this, I'm done. I'm
gonna go back to doing work. The answer was seventy five high ornaments and
you were so happy. We're so happy to share that right now. UM,
I just want to know if Brent Hanks is still in. When I
walked he wasn't posting any When I walked by him, he had a pile
of chips. Maybe he's really focused. He's not even on the chip counts.
I know he's not on the chip side. Like it's frustrating anyway,
UM, anyone notable still in? Can you can if we can trust these
chip counts? Uh? John Potty? If we can't trust the hip odd
listen, if we can't trust the chip counts, then we can just blame
the chip accounts. Good point, Dash Oddley, Um, Bryn Kenny,
Chris sand Rock is among Chris sand Rock is a wild point. Bryan Reese,
Nay Silver, Ronnie Bada. I know these chips because this guy bustled
a long time ago. But he's still thirty seventh. So who's at the
Hello Kitty guy Justin on Wine got it? Yeah? So Ronnie Barter,
Ryan Reeese, Nate Silver, Lonnie Harwood and Bryn Kenny, Bryn Kenny he's
here. Yeah, Yeah, he played the fifty King and then an eight
stack. Hey, seems seems in Tang to me, Stanley Tang, this
was in the eight hundred deep stack as well. Hey, Stanley Tang is
different. Why I feel like Stanley Tang loves it. I feel like Kenny
is like he's way past his skin. Maybe he thought it was in eight
hundred thousand deep stack. And this is one of those things where having done
the you know, the role of live reporter, having managed the live reporting
team, I would have seen Bryn Kenny's name in this tournament and said what
I would I would have at the time, we use Skype, so I
would have skiped you guys, and I said what table was Bryn Kenny at?
You would have told me, and I would have gone over there,
and I would need to look at this person myself and be like, is
this really Bryn Kenny? And then I would have looked in. If it
was, I've been like, Wow, okay, it really is Brim Kenny.
You know, same tour things. Somebody came to me the other day
and they were like, Victor Blom's in the Omaha. I was like,
you're joking, There's just no way. And Victor Blom was in the Oma
High. Yeah, wild right. I was like that. I was like,
I didn't know he played pokerang just like we saw Robert Williams in the
third yesterday, then he was in the eight game today. I haven't seen
him. Do you picked him out? Like he looks exactly the same.
He just put on a couple of pounds. He looks exactly the same shirt.
He was bigger already. Yeah, but like I'm talking just a few
pounds. Oh, the shirt, the same glasses, spiky hair, he
looks. It's like it was two thousand and three all over again. But
yeah, Bryn kenn in the eight hard or deep thing, I'd be like,
I need to I need to see actually heed to actually see brink.
Yeah, we still we still don't know. Doesn't say how many players are
left in this nonsense three about three seventy or so. Yeah, that's a
photo, Mickey is showing us a photo. Yeah, is that the right
chip stack? Is that the fifty k? Or is that the eight hundred?
I don't know, because you and you, we have all three of
us have worked for the live updates. You can take photos from other events
and put them into a different event. Okay, so you don't like.
This isn't like rocket science. So I'm just saying we don't know for sure,
we do not. We still need to verify, so tomorrow we will
go look at to see if it really is Bryn Kenny or not. Would
be pretty wild if he was to go on to win an eight hundred dollars
deep stack, just like awesome, just like we thought it would be wild
if gran And ran and won the glad Year as a poker fifteen hundred all
eight game that kicked off today, both of these guys sitting in front,
and we played it. Both of them busted seven hundred and eighty nine entries,
almost almost two hundred thousand dollars for first place. This is one of
those tournaments that I look that and I was like, you know what,
I really want to play this, but I'm going to hold myself back because
I've been focused on Noeman hold them tournaments. As much as I like mixed
games, I'm not gonna light on fire. But Tim did, and so
did Mickey. Tim definitely let it on fire. I did not. I
don't fire. I played excellent, said he bluffed three times in limit games.
Whatever, I don't know what he's doing, especially when he told me
who was at his table? You gotta win the pots somehow, Kina win
by checking, just make some You tell me you too, you're too tie
it and then I go out here? Will I bluffed? Yet? You
should have bluffed kin win if Yeah, but there's different, like this is
all like it's all context, it's all situational, like yeah, Nolman,
hold him. You can bluff a lot in spots like the stud games.
You know, raz you can bluff a lot because you just play your boarded
him, don't even look at your under five four off sit And what I
bluffed? An eleman? Hold him as well? Who was the hand?
Tell me the hand? It was? I had six five o'clubs in the
small blind, best of the big blind. How did the hand play?
I kind of remember it was like it obviously folded. It wasn't even that
important. I'm just saying that was You don't want to be embarrassed again?
No, no, I can't remember the hand. It was like, how
do you remember the hand? You're a reporter. Didn't you win an award?
It was like complete check flop was complete a check check? I bet
turned bet river, So it was he turned a pair of hours. The
other one was deuce and I had an eight smooth intro and I made an
ace on the end, got a bet because he was drawing too. Good
chance, he just falls, he did you look at the ace and bet.
No, he's drawing too. Yeah, no, I know That's what
I'm saying. You should just bet. Didn't even look at that. I
didn't look. You gotta raised and he raised me and I squeezed. It
was an ace. I was like, damn, he just he just makes
it. Huh, what are you gonna do? Man? So you busted
that. I busted whatever I played. Mickey busted as well, but he
lasted longer than each of us us yep, Um, what's going on in
that tournament? Is it done for the day? Yeah? It should be
just I think they just bagged. Do they have two pounds and any of
that stuff? Who Sean dab chip, Let's go Deeber, come on,
team captain baby, let's josh a one hundred and thirty eight k let's yeah,
but it's not three hundred I know it. But like he jumped in,
I'm just saying that Jen Hammans in the mix deep has three hundred thousand.
Jenn homans Blay, did you guys start with twenty five and he has
three hundred K multitabling? He's the best. He's on the table. Next
time listen Phil helmety five K. Yeah, whatever, let's go. I
want to talk about how we came to draft Sean Deep because we did a
whole podcast with Mat Clark on it basically saying that we were going to draft
Daniel on the Granti and then we showed up like two days later and didn't
draft Dana A Grany and drafted Shaun Deep. I mean we, Matt and
I Matt Clark, my co captain team DPMC. You can check us out
at twenty five fantasy dot com. We were going back and forth late at
night and we were like, you know what, we think Deep's the guy.
What are you talking about over there? What's happening? I think continue,
No, what's happening? I will say it on air. You can't
say it on air. I like when people say that stuff on air because
then it makes the listeners like, oh, what are they talking about?
What are they talking about? UM? So, anyway, we were like,
you know what, we think Deeve's the guy. We both decided that
the weight loss stuff is going to motivate him. Today. I saw him
playing the eight hundred dollar deep Stack. He was flexio. He was doing
arm curls. I think Will the Thrill had a dumbbell with him and like
gave it to Sean Deep and shaund was literally doing curls. He busted that
tournament, but whatever. He bagged the chip lead in the fifteen hundred dollar
eight game mix. That's amazing. Victor Blom's got a photo there. He
looks good, looks healthy. Sharp. I don't know if he made it
to the day, but you know, looks good. Your boy, flex
Flex bagged almost three k. Flex is just he's an outrageous player to play
with. Like just he's awesome. He's outrageous. He could be China's uncle.
He's just an outrageous player to play with. He he gets so mad
at me one time, like like just wanted to like rip my head off
at the table because of the way I played like a fucking stud hand like
chilbro Um. David bakes Baker, Anthony Zeno, Anthony Zeno's making some noise.
Dario Sammartino, Robert Ms, Rocky Jen Harmon Jeff Ulsandro, Alan Kessler,
Brian June, Brian Yun Crusher. We talked about him the other day,
Philammt, Calvin Anderson, Jake Schwartz, Scott Bollman, Dan Eggs,
Dan mcgranu, your boy, Robert Williamson. He made it. They didn't
put the third though at the end. Must be a different one, Yeah,
it must be a different one. Victor Blom looks like heat bag chips
and Rami book high. I mean that's this is a good feel, this
is fun. I can't be it's the best eight game players in the world,
the best bottom. You guys are not part of that. I set
out this year. I wanted to let someone else win. Did Chad Holloway
make it? This is oh? Flex took him out and in Agenda Rez,
I mean, what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
Chad? Go back to work, That's what That's what you're gonna do.
Well, we have a big hundred K Nolman hold him high rolla starting
on Monday. Also fifteen hundred limit duced the seven Triple Jaw. We have

tournament. That's not that's not hard. It's just if he wants to play.
We're in. We're all in. Skip the satellite. I I I
need to know how he feels mentally like I can't. He can't be going
in sheepish you know what going later whip people's heads off. You'll you'll agree
with this. You ready? If he plays the satellite tomorrow nine, which
he was planning to, we can't get sushi. But if we skip the
satellite, we can go and get sushi, which will put him in the
ride mindset to crush day one of the ten k raz Tell me that is
not the game plan. No, we play the satellite, get the god,
play the satellite. Play the satellite, Mackey, come on, you
gotta play the satellite. Come ony, satellite. Listen. You can always
bust the satellite, get sushi, and then sell the action anyway. I
mean, you just take that one. I spend thirty dollars on some sushi.
Listen, that's the perfect We can get the action soul. That is
not a big deal. Okay, we will. We will make that happen.
There are plenty of outlets posting on social media. There's plenty of people
that want to back Mickey. No big deal, okay, that can happen.
So that's what we have coming up this week. UM do have to
give a shout out to the bed MGM Poker Championship, which is also it's
taking place right now. I think it's a bit over five hundred thousand dollars
for first place. Thirty five hundred dollars buying. Let's actually check out five
hundred and sixty thousand dollars. I'm gonna go check out the up States down
to so the Bubble best today, fifty six players remaining coming into our Shoodio,
the Pocago Shoodio tomorrow to play down on the final table, and then
we're gonna stream that live pogo dot com Final Table. Look at this SUPERB
Day. I'm going back in event SUPERB Day one, finishing with one hundred
and eighty three thousand, one hundred my high for this WSP. I have
bagged Day two in six Hold on, I need to click the button and
read the rest of the tweets. I have bag Day two in all six
of the fifteen hundred mixed events I have played. No, that does not
pay anything, but I am proud of it. Anyone else do that tomorrow?
Nakamura Gun Sling gun Slinger. He's the best. He is feeling baby
him today, feeling it. That's incognito. He's got that like Safari hat
on pulled down tightly, shades on. He's got the mask on. Probably
he's guys, I pad up on the table fan. He's got the works.
The chips are in sixteen's four feet to his left like in seat five,
and he's in seat two like because he's just that's just how he is
winning. Eying on. He's got Nazi millions ring on, He's got his
bracelet on, got everything on. He's got go Gunslinger, one hundred and
eighty three k in the bag. They don't even have him in the chip
counts because he's flying under the radar. Amazing. Gotta love it the best.
Let's go Gunslinger. Uh Mike van Yer Vannier. He bagged the chip
lead in the bet MGM Poker Championship. I'm pretty sure I played with that
guy on line a lot. Um. Josh Bolton is in second, Bradley
Hinson is in third. Uh, Justin Young bagged some chips. David Stam
he plays in the studio a lot. He's up there in the top ten.
Who else we got na yet Magnus sign. She always seems to do
really well and in these like big field tournaments she crushes. Benny Palma,
haven't had him in a while. Twenty fourth and chips Benny Palma, Benny
Palm, what do you mean you have? Brian Hastings back some chips,
Jesse Lena Stevens song should be over here playing the song You're on the wrong
side of the shared jaffee on the shorter end. Benny Palmer. I see
him all the time at the win. He's constantly playing What about did Jeremy
Ozma's bag chips? Well it says he has one hundred and eighty five,
but it ranks him sixty fourth in chips. So he's in because they put
the seat drawn. He's there. How they're doing that? I just want
to make sure because that would mean that, Oh, yes he's you know,
he's co captain of team No gamblin the Future. Him out of the
team No gamblin the Future is in last place currently in the twenty five K
Fantasy Yes Jeff and Brent's team. Yes on the bottom, Yes on the
bottom one um yeah quite bad. Just want the office bragging rights against them,
So if Jeremy, if you could just you know, stay in that
tournament for as long as he has to skip the hundred k, it's perfect.
See Like, I'm like kind of rooting for Stephen's Song to win that
because I feel like then he might like blast like some thin insane like maybe
he fires the two hundred fifty k. No, not chance zero zero,
sell some action. Come on Stephen's Song, Let's go parlay it. Even
if you put it yourself into the two hundred and fifty k, you still
make a quarter of a million. I'm pretty sure that is terrible bankroll management?
Who cares people that care about? Have you watched Stephen Song play poker?
Do you think Stephen Song cares about bankroll management? Yes? I think
he does. His online name is eight at four. Okay he foted he
can't about then bet obviously No, I can't wait for Steven Song. He's
listen. He's our current leading point getter. So I don't care what Stephen
Song does. At this point. We got him gotling. It makes a
run Gunslinger Sean Deep heads up for the gold? Did uh did Gordo back
chips? He had? He had a good amount. I wonder if he
bagged. I feel like that tournament has also made for for Gordo says he
has forty three K. Well he did have eighty, so he's trending get
in the wrong direction. But if he's still and he's still in, and
then I gotta go back and check the ten K. I mean, if
you made it this part of the podcast, you don't really care what we
do at this point, So I'm just gonna do whatever I want. Oh,
it looks like they have the redraw for the ten K. James m
Jan's in sixth place. Let's go damn Jan. Oh, but he's down
to four and fifty and it's okay. The Holliday Tomorrow. Eric Sidell's crushing
Louise Vellador second in chips. Wow, did you know this was Johnny World,
John Hennigan, this was Eric side was one hundred and forty y wsp
cash. I can't believe you in these you in these stats. You just
don't even know where you Is that a real status? You just make that
up? It's real. Bryce Jockey also still in over there at the three
table re daw David Williams. We already talked about Sammy Farha. They listen.
They listened to Sammy Fara as Sam Farhaw. Okay, we need to
have a conversation with now that Chad Holloway has busted the tournament, maybe he'll
dis some walk. It's Sammy far Ha, not Sam What No No what.
Alfricokov is actually also named him Sam No Well. I don't expect our
foretographs to know anything, so I don't care about them. Can I tell
you? Can I throw you another stat Yeah? Go ahead, this is
it and then we're getting out of here. Make it a good Eric Sidel
has made the final two tables sixty nine times, right of the sixty of
those sixty nine times, how many times do the termine have three tables?
Of the sixty nine times he's made the final two tables, forty eight of
those times he made the final tables. So here's a good conversion. Right
when he gets down to the final two tables. Oh my gosh, I
can't take you. I mean, it's just unbelievable. It's two twenty am.
Why can't we just have a little bit of fun? That's right,
all right, that's gonna do it for us. Mickey, thank you for
