light. This is what shines on us

before I go on the mic, I

19
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.959

neck, you know. I was like

20
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:23.920
whipping my head around, like yeah, I gotta get ready to go.

51
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.120
you go first because you were here
way earlier than me, because I

52
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.400
overslept my alarm for the first time
in like three years. That was a

53
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.759
disaster today and it's thrown my whole
day off. All day. Everything is

54
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.560
just I was like walking around my
house as when I set my alarm for

55
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.199
eleven thirty. I got home yesterday, I went to bed at two am

56
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.199
after the twenty five K draft,
I set my alarm for seven thirty,

57
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.319
thinking I had to take my daughter
to school. I wake up at ten

58
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.400
sixteen freaking out. Dogs are still
in their crates going crazy. I'm like,

59
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.439
shit, where's my daughter? So
I go into the room. She's

60
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.439
not there. Next time, my
wife you took her right, like just

61
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.000
making sure that that's okay, and
she didn't like climb out of her crib

62
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.080
and like go downstairs some crazy way. So yeah, so I'm like freaking

63
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.719
out. Then I was like I
was walking around downstairs. I would like

64
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.159
go do something, and then like
start doing something else and like forget about

65
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.879
the other thing that I was all
over the place this morning at home.

66
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.519
It was so hard to contract.
I was just I was totally effed up.

67
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.000
It messed up my whole day.
Then I get the Starbucks. I

68
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.759
stopped at Starbucks by the office because
I had to go to the office because

69
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.600
I left my badge there. Had
to go get my badge. Do that.

70
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.439
Stop at Starbucks in the way,
there's two people in the drive through

71
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.680
line, me and another guy,
and he's in front of me. Tell

72
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.800
them my order. I pull on
up. He's there, so first like

73
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.759
red flag is the woman inside is
like trying to hand him back his card,

74
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.439
and she like has her hand out
the window, and I can see

75
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.360
her because she's kind of leaning out
the window. She's leaning out the window

76
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.720
for like a full minute and a
half, like and he's like, I

77
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.360
don't know, I couldn't really see
him, but he's like, mustn't not

78
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.319
been paying attention or whatever. So
then he like then she like pulls the

79
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.959
card back. She's like sick and
tired of like leaning out waiting for him,

80
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.399
and finally he turns back. She
gives him in the cart. Then

81
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.879
he gets out of the car.
I'm like, what the huh gets out

82
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.920
of the car. Yeah, he
just gets out of the car. He

83
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.800
like kind of looks at me because
I'm like looking and yeah, then he

84
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.519
just opens his back door and like
goes into his back seat. For like

85
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.800
two minutes, the person is at
the at the window with his drink and

86
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.120
he's just like rubbinging through his back
seat. I'm like, what the hell

87
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.240
is happening? What you though,
because you have to drive through window?

88
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.279
Right, No, that was part
of That's part of the reason why she

89
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.920
was leaning so far out the window. He was like he was like two

90
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.279
feet away. So when he opened
his door, at first, I thought

91
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.720
he was like opening his door.
Some people open their door so they can

92
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.519
then like grab whatever they're reaching for. A lot of people do that when

93
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.879
they go to the atm blah blah
blah. Yeah, he's just rummaging through

94
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.000
his back seat. Then he like
he found you know, he found his

95
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.720
his EarPods once and he pulled them
out, shuts his door, like gives

96
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.000
me this look. He gave me
a look like yeah I was doing that.

97
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.480
I was slammed, and like the
person's there with his drink. I

98
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.079
was like, what can you just
freaking go? Like, what can we

99
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.800
just not with this stuff? So
anyway, go ahead with your first impressions.

100
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:17.120
My first impression is that the WSAP
is finally here, but that's not

101
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:26.199
finish. But it's not really here
because this room was sitting in the horseshoe

102
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.000
mainstage were still building. It doesn't
quite feel like we're ready. So my

103
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.759
first impression is but that's how it
is every year, I know, but

104
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.879
like I just had higher hopes to
see. We were in earlier. We

105
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.160
were so motivated to get stuff done. We had some issues, and we're

106
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:44.040
on track, which just I just
really wish today the lights are on.

107
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.319
You know, it was a it
was a full full steam ahead, but

108
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:51.000
we're not alas. I'm very happy, I'm very excited. The World Series

109
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.360
of Poker is on the way.
There's already huge fields in the first two

110
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.480
events. I texted you and I
woke up late and you were already here

111
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.120
and you're like, it's packed here
whatever you said, because the lines were

112
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.360
like at the door. I'm assuming
not just all for the the casino employees,

113
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.800
but I'm guessing a lot of people. You know, why the lines

114
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.879
are out the door. Because we've
been telling people on the podcast specifically specifically

115
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.920
the fifty plus Questions podcast, is
you know, this is when you registered

116
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.120
day before night, before you know, you do your Bravo count all that

117
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.720
sort of stuff. So it's it's
it's because of us. It was jam

118
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.439
packed today. Um so I get
here. My first impression first of all,

119
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.319
is the trailer is about half a
football field further away than it was

120
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.240
last year. That's annoying because it's
odd as hell out. Get the steps?

121
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.560
How many steps town? The steps? I'm all for the steps.

122
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.120
I don't have twenty thousand. I
think I have eleven because you were sleeping

123
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.120
for half of the thing exactly,
and I didn't go for my morning walkouts.

124
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.600
Everything was just a disaster. Like
I said, Um, I'm all

125
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:59.000
for the steps, but I hate
the day one steps and the final day

126
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.839
steps because I'm like walking in here
with all the crap. I got a

127
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.120
podcast equipment, I got this,
I got you know, because like we

128
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.439
put, we leave a lot of
stuff like in here, like you know,

129
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.360
set up and whatever. So I
have all that stuff with me,

130
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.120
like I'm with cameraman John from Anyone
watched the vlogs last year. They know

131
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.519
cameraman John and he's got like six
bags, like he's got a whole bunch

132
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.439
of stuff, and we've got to
walk up that ramp. And I'm just

133
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.720
like, what's see? This is
the way you guys are just not as

134
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.079
experience as me when it comes to
us here as a poka, I came

135
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.160
in yesterday and set up, and
as I'm a procrastinator, as a father

136
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.559
of two, I have one of
those Costco little you know, the little

137
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.279
trolleys or whatever you get that you
put the stuff in when you go to

138
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.200
the beach. Yes, I loaded
that up. I dragged away too smart.

139
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.519
I dragged up the ramp backwards.
I did my you know, my

140
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.600
knees over toes guy's exercise, walked
it in, set up yesterday. So

141
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.240
today just came in with a backpack. Everything's ready to go, my screen,

142
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.879
everything. So after I get inside, I'm like, you know what.

143
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.279
I step into the horseshoe room.
What's this room called the what's this

144
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.399
one called the horse ballroom? Yes? I think the ball run. First

145
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:09.080
thing, brand new carpet, and
I'm so happy, like I'm the carpet.

146
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.879
Last year when you could tell it
was there for probably twenty five years.

147
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.799
It felt like concrete because clearly a
million people had walked over it for

148
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.600
so long. This carpet, this
new carpet. You can tell it's fresh.

149
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:24.639
You can tell it probably doesn't smell
super bad now that I got down

150
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.600
on my hands and knees and smelled
the thing. But you can tell it's

151
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.840
it's like springy, so it's good
on the joints. Like I'm happy to

152
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.960
start, you know, walking all
over the place. Love it. We

153
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.799
started walking around. I mean it's
much of the same, but also improved.

154
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.759
It's a little improvements. Like all
the champions banners are fully like reprinted

155
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.759
and updated and look much cleaner.
Like that's a great pictures of change of

156
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.240
players at you snartists, Yeah you
go. They have that little shop that

157
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.080
Chad Holloway tweeted the other day.
Um, they have the little shop out

158
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.240
there. They got even the kiosks
look like the kiosks that are like or

159
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:05.679
refurbished or whatever. They have a
potential mystery millions veal booth already they have

160
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.840
like a booth in the middle of
the Paris room. I almost said pavilion

161
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.519
in the middle of the Pari in
the middle of the Paris Ballroom and the

162
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.120
outside is like wrapped in like an
led wall. So that looks like cool

163
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.960
and modern, Like the King's Room
is is going through a little renovation.

164
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.240
They got some photos around that that
it's pretty styling. That's great. Um

165
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.240
the back to the Horseshoe ballroom.
They have the Horseshoe table, which had

166
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.279
two feature tables in it last year. This year it's got one the tables

167
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.879
like a little bit of a more
robust table. It's a little bit bigger.

168
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.120
That's where Remco and I are going
to be doing a lot of streaming

169
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.879
on YouTube from So yeah, So
overall, like I'm pretty pumped about everything.

170
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.399
Feels good to be back. It's
still a giant painting the ask to

171
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.000
walk through that casino with all that
smoke. But other than that first impression

172
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.440
good. It seems like everyone is
really gearing up to have an absolutely banger

173
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.679
of a Mystery Millions Mystery Bounty Tournament
tomorrow. Yeah. Fourteen thousand, one

174
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.200
hundred twelve was the number last year. I think it's going to be bigger

175
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.879
this year. The good turnout in
the twenty five K six Max the structure

176
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.759
sheet for that tournament because it all
the structure sheet always has last year's champion

177
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.039
on it, so looking it up, it says this is a new event

178
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.519
for the twenty twenty three BISP.
Yes and no, because that the twenty

179
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.759
five K six max was on the
event previously, like Dan Kelly won it

180
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.360
that one year. Yeah, you
know so, I think when Dan Kelly

181
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.919
wanted it had like one hundred and
ninety players or so. The entry list

182
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.039
that I saw when we left the
tournament room today one hundred and eighty seven,

183
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.159
so pretty good there. Casino employees
tops one thousand entries in that tournament.

184
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.159
Um. I mentioned Chad Holloway heading
into the last two levels of the

185
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.679
night, Chad Holloway still had chips. We know he was in the money,

186
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.320
and he was in the money.
Yeah, we know Chad Holloway won

187
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.000
the tournament years ago, so he's
looking to win it again. I think

188
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.399
that tournament had the largest field size
it's ever had since two thousand and seven,

189
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:00.559
so very good turnout there. Two
thousand and six was twelve thirty two.

190
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.559
Two thousand and seven as you just
touched one thousand and thirty nine,

191
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.440
and previous best to that was nine
hundred and thirty in two thousand and eight.

192
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.080
Okay, I like, yeah,
what was what's the number for this

193
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.559
year thousand and fifteen? Like one
twenty six K in the prize pool,

194
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.440
seventy five K to first. Good
number. It's a very good number.

195
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.000
As I mentioned, the twenty five
K high Roller six Max kicked off.

196
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.960
You know, the who's who of
Polker is out there other than Phil Ivey

197
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.519
because he's for some reason down in
Mexico playing some WPT event. I don't

198
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.679
really know what's happening. I went
all the pacers he is. He was

199
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:35.519
playing like the five K ray Masterial
Mystery Bounty tournament off the top rope.

200
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.440
I think it was honestly called like
Bounty Mysterio. Yeah, you know,

201
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.879
so it's the ray Masterio Junior Invitation
as far as I'm concerned, Husband,

202
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.840
George, Dad was in the field. High talk to Bin Wang, who's

203
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.720
been down an absolutely heater all years, heater this last month. And then

204
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.600
you talked to Daniel Rozzi. He
finished as the chip leader was at one

205
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.919
point four just on the one point
four million. Yeah, so absolutely crushed.

206
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.039
Throughout the day. We had four
people in the field from twenty five

207
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.320
K Fantasy. I think only two
hour left. Sam's Olvil I didn't see

208
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.799
him. Sean Dee looked like he
busted right before the end of the night.

209
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.000
John reard and bagged. And I
think Stephen's song just bite losing a

210
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.519
really big pot in the last level
to Brock Wilson. I think double with

211
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.879
her kiddie Ku after that. Perfect, Let's go Stephen's song. And but

212
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.600
I think you can reintern this one, right, it's not a freeze out.

213
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.000
Yeah, you can register up until
tomorrow. Daniel was in for two

214
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.240
bullets, so I'm assuming Shawn Deep
will get back in there. Hopefully Sam's

215
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.399
Ovil gets back in there, just
selfishly for the twenty five K Fantasy team.

216
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.919
But yeah, I know you spoke
to Espen George ad kind of early

217
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.200
on in the day. So let's
let's play that interview now and then we'll

218
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.879
come back and we will talk a
little bit more about this event and then

219
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.440
get into the other interviews. Espen, welcome back to the Horseshoe, Paris,

220
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.480
Las Vegas, And I also want
to say welcome home. I feel

221
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.440
like this might be your home away
from home. Yeah, thank you.

222
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.000
No, it really feels kind of
weird to be back. Actually, I

223
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.240
just landed one hour ago, took
an Aubrey here and I'm straight than the

224
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.039
first tournament, and it feels really
feels really nice actually to walk through the

225
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.600
holes again. It feels like no
time has passed since last year. It's

226
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.120
been kind of a yeah, hectic
year, so to say. So,

227
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.000
yeah, really nice to be back, excited to play. Let's talk about

228
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.200
that feeling. And when you walk
back in here was a you know,

229
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.000
butterflies in the stomach. Was a
sense of relief that you know, you're

230
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.639
back to where you've had so much
success in you know, a year ago

231
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:28.200
to this date. Kind of butterflies, Yeah, kind of butterflies. I

232
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.000
just came off like a one month
long online series Grind as well. So

233
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.840
I've been playing a lot for the
last month, feeling really sharp and feeling

234
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.519
really good ready to play again,
which which is a really nice feeling because

235
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.039
for the last year I haven't been
playing and studying as much as I was

236
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.600
hoping too. I've been so busy
with all kinds of other things. So

237
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.759
yeah, it feels really nice to
actually be back in the form that I

238
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.559
wanted to be back. I was
a bit like afraid a couple of months

239
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.320
ago that I was going to be
here and I was like, not going

240
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.960
to feel sharp, not going to
feel ready to play. But now I'm

241
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.440
ready. So yeah, I fel
it's good. I've been sitting here when

242
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.480
I for you to, you know, finish that that level. I've been

243
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.360
watching this thrill team add on the
TV up here, and yeah, and

244
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.320
I'm wondering it's a little bit more
pressure on you to perform now that you're

245
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.759
part of this thrial team with some
other you know, absolutely fantastic poker players.

246
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.000
Um, I don't think so it's
not for me. Maybe I don't

247
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.159
feel it anyways, I feel a
bit of pressure, just like in sense

248
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.320
of since I didn't win last year, it would be a shame if I

249
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.120
come back now and have a horrible
summer and just break every tournament, because

250
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.000
like there is always that thing where
you don't want to be seen as a

251
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.799
fluke like you there is like some
ego and expectations in there. So I

252
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.080
guess I want to have a good
summer in terms of that. But yeah,

253
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.120
I know it'll bit fun. So
you do have two bracelets you just

254
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:46.759
talked about, you know, don't
want him to be a fluke. Is

255
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.360
this, you know, winning a
third bracelet, winning a fourth bracelet?

256
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.919
Is this something that you're really pushing
hard for this year with a big schedule,

257
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.080
or you just trying to you know, play it as it comes.

258
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:58.120
I'm just gonna play it as it
comes. I'm not going to hop into

259
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.360
a bunch of events. I don't
feel like I have any business playing like.

260
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.320
I won't play like a bunch of
the mixed game stuff just to chase

261
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:10.240
bracelets. Last year was my first
World Series and I never really thought about

262
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.799
bracelets before that. Neither. I
have a couple, and it feels like

263
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.879
I should be trying to get more. It's kind of like a fun thing

264
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:21.679
to try to get more. But
I'm not like so um so worried about

265
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.279
it. And I'm gonna play like
a bunch of stead events in eight game

266
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.480
and whatever. I'm just gonna play
all the hold of events, probably play

267
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:33.559
yeah every reasonably sighest hold them events
and then yeah, all right, that

268
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.159
was espin George had finished. I
think we had like five hundred maybe I

269
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.759
think I saw him bag yeah,
I think yeah, I think double Jason

270
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.639
Curree. I think four sixty three
or five sixty and then I think you

271
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.679
want another part after that? Um, so the champions starting off in the

272
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.679
right direction. Um, at least
so I thought it was a good tournament

273
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.120
field. To walk out there and
then look around it seem like a whole

274
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.159
bunch of crushes every Well, of
course, it's just the same. It's

275
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.679
the best, it's the best tournament. We've always wanted that tournament to come

276
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.680
back like it was so good.
Um. Phil Halmith was out there,

277
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:08.799
daniel LECGRONI was out there. He
busted at least one bullet and got back

278
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.640
in. Ben Lamb was out there. You know who was else was out

279
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.200
there? We got to talk about
it, Jake Schindler. I thought you're

280
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.160
gonna say a different name, But
yes, we didn't need to talk about

281
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.240
who was the other name? Stephen
Chidwick, Stephen turning up guy everyone thought

282
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.160
wasn't turning up. And then you
know, my teammate and Matt Clark texts

283
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.960
me that I just walked by Stephen
Chitwick in the hall. Him, that's

284
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.480
like the best twelve dollars ever spent
in the draft wherever the heck he went

285
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.680
for. But Jake Schindler, like
it was a big question mark if he

286
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:41.319
was gonna play, if he wasn't
gonna plays right now. On Jake Shindler

287
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.160
being in the twenty five k field, listen, Jake Schindler can obviously do

288
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.799
what he wants. Yeah, it's
his right to come play if he wants.

289
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.799
I mean, I don't know the
allegations that are still kind of hovering

290
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.160
over him, I mean the whole
Holley and Jake, because you know they're

291
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.240
they're always said in tandem, like
it's all always kind of just it's there.

292
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.880
People wonder like why they're still allowed
to play certain places. I mean,

293
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.960
I don't know. I mean,
they're obviously not banned from playing here,

294
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.200
so they're gonna be here. I
don't believe Ali was playing today.

295
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:15.720
I didn't see him, don't see
any of the chip counts or anything like

296
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.759
that. So speaking of the chip
counts, Jake wasn't even in the chip

297
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:26.079
counts. And I'm pretty confident that
the Pokiness Lab reporting team wouldn't know who

298
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.160
Jake is and they don't made the
decision not to put him in. I

299
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.359
don't I don't fully agree with that. I don't like it. I mean,

300
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.200
I used to run the poker news
team. So I feel like I

301
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:40.240
can speak with experience from the situation, but I mean, you just you

302
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.759
cover it. And also it's kind
of good for clicks. I mean,

303
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.119
you know, people are gonna want
to anti sweat the guy probably. I

304
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.519
mean, I don't know if I
would go that far, but um,

305
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.400
I thought it was interesting that he
was there. Um, he didn't have

306
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:59.160
headphones on, which when he played
last year at sometimes he had the headphones

307
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.880
other than when he made a final
table and then obviously one of the breast

308
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.400
he did have his headphones. He
just you know, So I didn't see

309
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.559
anyone have any conversations with him.
I didn't see anyone, you know,

310
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.359
come at him anything like that.
I didn't really see too much stuff on

311
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:18.559
social media about it. But it's
just interesting to me that it's the first

312
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.079
day of the World Series of Poker
and Jake Schindler's here and he is playing,

313
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.200
so, um, that's interesting to
me. It looked like he bagged

314
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.200
a somewhat decent stack of chips,
So we'll see what happens from here on

315
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.920
out. So, you know,
I think it's one of those situations where

316
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.920
people are going to be watching to
see what happens, and that's kind of

317
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.319
my stance on it. So so
I would personally like him to make the

318
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.480
money, and no, just because
I want to see how the Twitter world

319
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.240
reacts to Jake. Because you and
me can talk about what we think of

320
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.359
Jake or what we you know,
our friends think of Jake, but I

321
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.960
want to see what this high roller
community does if he makes a ron gets

322
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.920
in the money, are we gonna
hear the and be quiet? And that

323
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.200
kind of means nothing, I will
say. I will say kind of along

324
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.119
those lines that it's it's interesting that, you know, there's always a lot

325
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.440
of pushback that like you need to
do this, you need to do that,

326
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.400
you need to restrict these guys from
playing this or that or all this

327
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.839
sort of stuff. But then and
all that stuff happens on social media,

328
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.720
but then they show up to play
in events and no one says anything.

329
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.680
Nothing he happens, So you know, I don't I don't know. That

330
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.720
seems always kind of weird to me. But he's out there playing, so

331
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:34.440
you know, we'll see what happens
with him, you know, going forward

332
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.640
in this event. And then I'm
guessing, listen, if he's here for

333
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.039
day one of the twenty five K
I'm assuming he's playing all the high roller

334
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.039
stuff. Like, I mean,
I don't see why he wouldn't at this

335
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:49.000
point, especially I would I could
maybe see if if he came out played

336
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.440
this event and like some people were
kind of coming at him at the table

337
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.559
or stuff like that, then it's
like, Okay, I'm just gonna go

338
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.079
back home and the heck with it. Maybe I'll come back off of the

339
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:02.200
main or something. Who knows.
But he's there and he's playing, and

340
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.119
I didn't see anything happen. I
don't think you saw anything happen or heard

341
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:10.720
of anything happening. So I'm assuming
he's just going to continue to keep on

342
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.480
grinding. So and listen, think
what you want of him. I still

343
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.640
think he's experienced and skillful in poker, right, so we might see some

344
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.160
pretty big results from him this year, So just be prepared for that would

345
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:27.119
be my kind of a suggestion to
everyone, you know, don't be shocked

346
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:32.279
to see Jay Schindler's name out there
running deep in some of these high rollers,

347
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.319
because he's out there day one playing
this twenty five K six max high

348
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.839
roller, all right. One of
the people that we spoke to Ben Wang

349
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:44.640
I spoke to him after play was
over. Ben has been on an absolute

350
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.200
heater this entire year. Won a
million dollars at the Borgada back in January,

351
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.480
won more than a million dollars when
he took down the WPT seminal event

352
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.880
just earlier this month, just a
few days ago, because the WPT delayed

353
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.759
that final table and they had it
out here. He also was doing this

354
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.160
crazy thing where he was not only
the chip leader heading into the seminal final

355
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.640
table, but also the WPT chalked
out final table. I think he finished

356
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.759
fourth in that one for one hundred
and seventy five K, hundred twenty five

357
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.200
K something like that. Um,
so you know, another six figure score

358
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.519
there. That event was won by
Jared Jaffee. So bins on an absolute

359
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.000
heater, and that's pretty much we
talk about. All right, I'm here

360
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.920
with Ben Wing. First question for
you, is the heater real? Yes?

361
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.599
One hundred percent? Yeah, I'm
I'm I know I'm running soap here

362
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:34.359
even today. I hate one outer
two outers. I had a pucket three

363
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:41.079
I ributing earlier with twenty men and
Anthony who called I mean reached out with

364
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.799
the Kings and I hit my three
on the front, of course, hold

365
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:48.559
up, and then come to this
table, come to table twenty eight and

366
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:55.359
I down to sixteen big Brian's eighty
one thousand, and I from hijack,

367
00:22:55.480 --> 00:23:00.119
I just opened to uh fifty one
thousand, almost all my chips with the

368
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:07.599
pocket fives bottom Hampton ice to Hampton
reach Off on top one seventy five author

369
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:14.400
for he's uh last name he full
bed reach off from a small brime and

370
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:17.240
of course I have to call I
put most of my chips in and I

371
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:21.519
call the fives. They have a
tense and Queen's the kind of the ace

372
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.119
King dues too. Hearts turned with
a kind of eight of hearts, and

373
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.759
then I don't do one out in
the river of course five over club one

374
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:33.160
outer And has it just been going
that way all year for you start starting

375
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.640
back in j nine with the million
dollars with amount of a time, Yeah,

376
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.359
this year, I would definitely say
I try to play beastball, of

377
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:44.480
course, but I know a lot
of big spot just gets super extremely lucky

378
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.279
for sure. Well, you know, a lot a lot of tournament players

379
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.319
will tell you that you have to
get lucky in a lot of spots.

380
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.440
You know, you can play so
well, but you can also get unlucky.

381
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.279
But right, I mean, I
mean, I guess, what's what's

382
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.319
the feeling right now? Knowing you're
running super pure, coming off the month

383
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.119
you just had, coming off the
year you've had so far, coming into

384
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:06.279
the biggest time in poker, the
World Series. Um, I honestly the

385
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.960
only with you. I just want
to I just want to play my normal

386
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:14.839
game. But um, but but
I will definitely try to play more a

387
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.000
little bigger buying because I really feel
and I am. I'm I'm some kind

388
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.799
of hitter of course, night like
um, you as a poker prayer,

389
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:29.359
Like everybody knows now, you have
to try to play your best. But

390
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.440
sometimes if not your day, no
matter how hard you try, you will

391
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.240
you are not winning a tournament.
I mean everybody knows that. So by

392
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.759
being said, I know I'm super
lucky this year so far, I'm winning

393
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.319
about three or four major events.
I mean, I'm I'm super than for

394
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.799
so far. So hope last year
last summer are doing really bad for the

395
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:53.720
summer WSP, So I hope this
year kind to be doing a way better

396
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:56.559
than last year. You got any
goals for this year? Final tables,

397
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.160
bracelets, everything. I hope I
can get one bracelet because I get a

398
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.400
TOPPT title, I get a major
event, the return, I got a

399
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:10.680
circuit, the best secuit ring,
So I really really want to bracelet it.

400
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.720
That would be complete my one of
my big dreams. What looks like

401
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.799
you're after a good start back just
about a million chips here on day one.

402
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.440
Tough tournament overall, I mean,
how things started for you in this

403
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:26.519
specific event. This is definitely one
of the toughest event. I pray CCRE

404
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:32.119
so far because there's all the top
pros in her Jason con Alice foxon,

405
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.799
um many of them, I says, I said, ums last name the

406
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:44.480
big name the I said, Isaac
Haxton has him Yeah, and I the

407
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.599
many many of them feel him there
then on the ground, all the top

408
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.559
ros. It's a very tough feel
for sure. So I just try to

409
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.240
pray my best of best, try
hard, composer focused. Do you feel

410
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:02.440
like you belong here? I've but
do you know you can answer yes?

411
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:07.200
I feel and I I think I'm
probably doing better than last year. All

412
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.559
right, that was Ben Wang.
I think you guys can hear it kind

413
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.799
of like in his voice and what
he was saying that he's pumped to be

414
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.000
here and he wants to win a
race. It's so bad, So it

415
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.279
would be the perfect cherry on top
of the most insane. Yeah, pretty

416
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.119
insane year on the tour. And
I mean you guys heard him describe it

417
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.519
there. He basically hit a one
outer you know, three way bodies running

418
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.839
hot, like he recognizes that,
but that's what it takes. In poker

419
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.960
U he bagged just under a million
chips, so he's one of the one

420
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.960
of the bigger stacks in the room. So you know, we'll see what

421
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:42.839
happens with Ben Wing going forward.
He's gonna play a lot of the bigger

422
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.559
events. He thinks it's kind of
his time. He wants to capitalize on

423
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:49.480
that good variance. You know,
when things are running hot for you,

424
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.799
you want to be able to play
as much stuff as possible to capitalize on

425
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.279
that that run of good luck.
And that's what's Ben's gonna do this summer,

426
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.559
it sounds like, So you know, I would very much to expect

427
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.400
to see him running deep in a
lot of stuff. I'm going to be

428
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.240
certainly one of those people to watch
overall. And then you spoke to Daniel

429
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.119
Rozsi afterwards as well, the chip
lead hip leader who had he had a

430
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.240
ton of chips. Yeah, just
under one point four million, basically ten

431
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:18.119
x starting stack. Amazing. Yeah, So we'll play that interview for you

432
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.240
now and then we'll come on back
here with Daniel ROSI looks like you're going

433
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:23.599
to be the chip leader here.
Just a little bit under one point four

434
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.279
million. That's ten x starting stacks. So it walk me through your day

435
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.440
real quick. I mean I played
like a three hundred big plan pot in

436
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.880
level one that just got like kind
of a gift, and then afterwards I

437
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.480
didn't have to do a bunch honestly, I made just like very often the

438
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.200
nuds and got paid. It was
like one of the smoothest days I actually

439
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:44.119
had. Let's see how I can
handle that stack tomorrow and what I can

440
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:47.400
get with it. This is a
new event for this year's World Series.

441
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:49.640
Some might say it's probably one of
the tougher events. Twenty five K high

442
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.759
roller and a six max. What
did you think about the players in the

443
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:57.160
field today and the competition. I
mean it's like you like usually WIPE events

444
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.960
are very diversified, so you have
like a recreationals and obviously the top pros.

445
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.000
I really like the event. I'm
online players. I have like a

446
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:07.559
bunch of like six mix experience too, and I really like the event.

447
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.920
You play more hands, everything is
faster, more space. It's definitely tougher

448
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:17.000
than the eight max last year.
But hey, we got one eighty seven

449
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.559
entries and probably an out of thirty
tomorrow. That's a great turnout, a

450
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:23.880
great event. Yeah, obviously you
just touched one hundred and seventy eight one

451
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:26.839
hundred and eighty seven engines. Sorry
in this event. What are your thoughts

452
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.599
on the whole World series? You
think we're gonna have record breaking numbers throughout

453
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.640
the whole the whole summer. I'm
pretty sure about that. Like last year

454
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.200
was already good and it was like
just to comeback from COVID. People are

455
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.839
excited about the series. I mean, I'm playing since a while for a

456
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.680
living. I'm still get like excited
and HiPE. Yesterday night, I was

457
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.359
like watching replays from your last year, just like exciting times. Going on,

458
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.640
the summer is like like a boot
camp for everybody. Everybody tries to

459
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.519
play their best, do their best
and get some touch on that gold bracelet.

460
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.319
You played in these events, you
know, big mine events all around

461
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.519
the world. I have to ask
this European ends of versus Americans, who's

462
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:06.200
better. It's honestly tough. It
doesn't come so so like down to country,

463
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:10.319
like the Europeans were like way ahead, Like a couple of years ago,

464
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:14.720
we were like dominating everything. Now
I have like a bunch of friends

465
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:18.880
here in America, the really good
Rex that catched up. They even kicked

466
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.000
ours like the last twe or two
years and high roll events. So it's

467
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.039
like some people coming up like me, some other friends who are all like

468
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:30.319
doing the putting the organ and try
to like um, defend our name.

469
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.440
All right. That was chip leader
Daniel Rosii. I mean, I'm pretty

470
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.519
confident saying chip lead. Sometimes it
changes overnight. But I didn't see anyone

471
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:40.720
with nearly as many ChIL We did
a good walk. There was a lot

472
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.119
of you know, one million chip
stacks. It looks like, you know,

473
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:47.519
he pretty much ascended above that and
claimed that Chiplate Sean winter had a

474
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:51.319
lot of chips. Looked like Daniel
bagged fairly healthy stack. I don't think

475
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:52.640
he was close to a million,
but I think he was with five hundred

476
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:57.440
K. Think Brock Wilson because he
got that late double love through Stephen's song,

477
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.160
bagged a lot of chips um.
I think es been doing pretty healthy.

478
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:06.720
I saw Jason Kuhn bag chips who
was justin Leboto one point one million?

479
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.240
Shouldn't one point one million, shouldn't
rocking the no gamble, no future

480
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:14.640
patch beautiful? Um. I think
Wren Lynn bag chips. I mean he

481
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.359
was hanging around the end of the
night. I don't know why you would

482
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.920
be hanging around at the end of
the night if you didn't bag chips um,

483
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.559
So he was out there. I
didn't see Dan Smith, didn't see

484
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:27.920
Scott sever I saw Scott Stever.
He did into the room neither very end

485
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:30.559
of play and then walked out.
You know who we didn't see. But

486
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:37.519
it is back in Vegas. Gussie
Hansen, the Great Dane has returned.

487
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.559
He's back. He's probably only going
to be in Bobby's room all summer,

488
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.599
would be my guests or Frost.
However long he's here, we'll get him

489
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:47.200
for the PPC. Don't worry.
Um. Who else was out there today

490
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.640
that you got the chip counts up? I didn't even Steven chide Wick.

491
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.839
That's the name we care. But
did he bag chips that I cannot remember

492
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.559
exactly. That's why I told you
chips, I don't pull them up,

493
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:00.400
Yeah, pull pull the chip counts
up. Um. They played what eight

494
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:06.359
levels today? Levels today? Registration
is still open till tomorrow before the side

495
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.759
of play. For those you were
talking to. You were talking to Adam

496
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.039
Hendricks on the way out earlier when
he busted. He said there's gonna probably

497
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.720
be a lot of people that that. I thought there might be a lot

498
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.319
of people. He was like,
they might be, but they're probably all

499
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.599
going to be crushes. I don't
know if I'm gonna re end. Yeah.

500
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.400
I don't think more casuals are waiting
till last minute. I think casuals

501
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.759
kind of coming earlier and try and
play a little bit deeper and try and

502
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.920
spin up a stack and you know, get some more you know, bang

503
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.640
for their buck. Yeah. In
that regard, you know, late late

504
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:41.079
registrants like I could see Dan Smith
late, Sam Silrol played today busted.

505
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.799
Maybe he comes back, you know, maybe Hendrix comes back. Who knows

506
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.119
Sean de busted super later. I
would guess he probably jumps back in I

507
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.960
didn't see Jeremy Osmas there at the
end of the night, so maybe coming

508
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.799
back a couple of other people that
bag chips Philip Helm with Junior. Of

509
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.319
course, Philip pack chips Um one
of my favorite players. A little bit

510
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.160
though. I'm a little bit upset
with phil He didn't wear the white Gucci

511
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.200
suit. I thought that was the
new suit. Yeah, that's his correct.

512
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.599
I thought that was the new the
white magic like that's I thought that

513
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.559
was it. No, he's back
to his black track suit that he's been

514
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.559
wearing for seven years. I thought
he was gonna rock the white Gucci su

515
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.920
A big fan of that white Yeah, I love it hideous. I love

516
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.279
it is so bad. It is
so bad. I would wear it every

517
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.640
day. Someone wants to buy that
for me, I will wear it every

518
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.680
day. I think he said it
costs four k. Was he was either

519
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:36.279
four k or seven K and Jason
Calcannis bought it for him. Jason,

520
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.799
if you would like to buy me
that, I will wear it every day

521
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:44.079

asked um. Who else back chips Um

522
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.359

523
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:52.960
players, Adrian mateos um you know
you already touched on Stevens. So I'm

524
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:58.400
gonna throw a shout out to podcasts
some pedro bronkman. I saw him in

525
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.319
this field. I'm like, what
are you doing? And he's like,

526
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.920
you only get two cards, man, not five? And he told me

527
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.920
he's not. There's not only two. He told me. He basically doubled

528
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.880
up firsthand, wrote it, went
down a little bit, wrote it back

529
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:15.160
up. But yeah, he's he's
in, uh into day two today.

530
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:21.240
Chips. I did not see him
back Chips, Kitty coded Coup. I

531
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.000
saw. I saw Alex Foxon standing
around and he was just in Foxon playing

532
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:30.119
Christen Foxon. Bag Chips. Yeah. Um, Keith Leah the Jet,

533
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:31.440
the lear Jet, Yeah, he
was in. He had a lot of

534
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:36.599
heady. Deep was in the Yeah. I mean it's just legendary. I

535
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.319
saw Nick Schulman. We saw him. We were we were loving his sunglass

536
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.240
choice for the day, Our Lord
and Savior. He backed Chips Carycats.

537
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:45.599
I don't think Nick bag chips.
Nick did not, That's what I was

538
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:50.000
gonna say. But so he might
come back tomorrow. Um Lucky Chiwi was

539
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.480
in there. He bag Chips carry
cats, as you said, our Lord

540
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:54.160
and Savior. He did bag chips, right, yeah, he do,

541
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.920
all right? Think just so the
starting stack typical, beautiful carre. Did

542
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:00.480
you say to you about his raising
the draft? He went for thirty five

543
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.039
dollars. I think he said that
it was too expensive. I told him

544
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.159
it was too expensive to face and
what did he say? I just laughed.

545
00:34:07.239 --> 00:34:10.920
I'm surprised. I'm not five yet, but we were just having a

546
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:14.840
little jog back and forth. So
um, but goodfield. Yeah, on

547
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:17.199
hundred I think you touched on it. One hundred and seventy four players you

548
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:21.599
know right now? Sixty five remaining. Dan Kelly topped a one hundred and

549
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.440
ninety one player field to win his
twenty five k uh six handed bracelet.

550
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.480
Correct. Can you name anyone else
on the fine tape? There's some very

551
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:35.559
random Daniel Legron you got eleven yep
about that. Sam Trickett, he was

552
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:40.760
close, Well, you know what, probably technically yeah, seven. There's

553
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.840
there's two people, three people.
I don't think you would get one.

554
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:50.320
We just one. We said his
name when discussing Phil Sternheimer. Michael Turret

555
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:52.960
yep. Um. Other one didn't
even know he played no limit hold him,

556
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.320
didn't know he played No previous Player
of the Year. That's a lie.

557
00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:59.280
I know he plays in the lemon
hold him, but previous Player of

558
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:04.400
the Year has been in our studio
recently. Jesus, it's not Tom Schneider.

559
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.320
Correct, but you're right there.
That's exactly where you need to be.

560
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.760
What do you what does that even? You mean? Trust me?

561
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:15.199
This is horrible. Producer Richards listening
to this, screaming, this is horrible

562
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:21.719
radio. I'll give you another one. He was recently on Poka nine in

563
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.920
America. Stream made a return.
It feels like a return to poker in

564
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:29.119
a way, but not a return
to I feel like it's a return.

565
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.960
You not see him that often.
I'm too busy in the bedding streets.

566
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:37.360
No idea. You know him?
Who? Jason Somerville, Oh guy,

567
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:42.719
I was talking about. Frank Casella
finished third. Jason Somerville didn't win Player

568
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:44.920
of the Year. No, Frank
Casella did. He was the one that

569
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.880
was right. Oh you said,
I'll give you another one. I thought

570
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:54.239
one. And then rounding out the
final table, Eugene catch Love six points,

571
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:59.559
Catchelove, Who's not coming this year? Correct? One one point three

572
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.760
one five millions, such a six
final table. Yep, I think that

573
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.400
it'll get more than whatever. It's
gonna smoke it. We're getting forty players

574
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.000
tomorrow. There's gonna be a lot
a lot of these guys. We see

575
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:13.480
it every year now, they do
this whole day two late ridge thing.

576
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:16.960
You know there's a line. There's
gonna be a line people WSP is not

577
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:20.440
gonna be read because they're probably gonna
think there's nothing, gonna be seven people

578
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.360
and then they're gonna see forty seven
people in freak out, have to open

579
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.360
up all they have to redraw people
and people around. They're not gonna know

580
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.000
where to go because it's it's rejoining
it to the King's lounge. So I

581
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.679
beg you a lot of these high
roller players line up for the Tournament of

582
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:37.039
Champions or something and they start freaking
out. So I think we're gonna see

583
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:39.360
a delight start. That'll be fun
Tomorrow. It's gonna be fun start.

584
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:43.559
They're starting at noon, so delight
start won't be too bad. Not a

585
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:45.639
big deal. Um, you said
we had a family pot. I did,

586
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.920
so we gotta we gotta like kind
of rewind it and talk about the

587
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:53.719
family pots. Um is it worthy
of the jingle. You know what,

588
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.440
I haven't heard the jingle in a
while, all right, So that's the

589
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:09.880
rich This is when you should insert
the jingle. Went to get lunch today

590
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:15.639
about three pm and started to go
down the subway. It took the long

591
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:17.599
way, the long walk. I
have no idea where this is going,

592
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.320
and I'm walking. I don't know, I didn't just trying to figure out

593
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:23.920
how this is going to turn into
a family part because you're already here at

594
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:28.440
the ws B and your family is
not here, so continue. I'm walking

595
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:31.480
down the whole way to a subway
and then to the side, I look

596
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:36.719
and I see a goddamn dinosaur.
A dinosaur, And I'm like, what

597
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.719
do you mean? You see it? Like a like A yeah, you'll

598
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:43.760
see it. WHA, You're gonna
have to go check this out. And

599
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:49.599
I look in and they have a
new exhibition downstairs at the Whole Shoe called

600
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:52.639
Dino Safari. It's a walk through
adventure for kids. It's like twenty five

601
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.760
bucks a ticket. There's all these
like, you know, realistic looking dinosaurs.

602
00:37:55.840 --> 00:38:00.480
There's a whole bunch of like virtual
reality off and fossils and learning,

603
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:05.159
and I'm you know, my son's
huge into dinosaurs right now, and I

604
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.880
couldn't help, but I had to
step in. I got a little brochure,

605
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.519
I asked some questions, kept walking. I saw I saw this little

606
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:14.280
bit of an arcade. I saw, did you pay it? If?

607
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:15.679
I don't know, I just I
just like stepped into the fight. I

608
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.559
didn't actually attend. Why would I
go without my son? You're talking about

609
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:22.920
like you're about to walk through the
whole thing. I was just wonder what

610
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.000
was happening. And then I won't
got subway. I was walking back and

611
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:27.639
I was just looking in again.
I was like, this is cool.

612
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.440
I have to bring Caleb here.
And then I thought there's probably a lot

613
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:32.360
of people out there that coming to
Vegas, coming to the Horse Shoe that

614
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:36.360
have some kids, and you know, obviously we're here playing poker. But

615
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.480
I just wanted them to know that
if you want to bring him to the

616
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:42.719
Horse Shoe, you want to go
see you have a dinosaur afraid But I'm

617
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:45.639
going to throw some more things at
you. Okay, there's an arcade here.

618
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.400
There isn't a being in that arcade. I've lost some money in that

619
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:52.679
arcade. And then there is a
mini golf. I think it's like Twilight

620
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.079
Zone mini golf. Do you think
there's a lot of money lost in that

621
00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:59.960
arcade? Like betting wise during the
world. Do you think like poker players

622
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:01.760
go down there and if they know
about it, I'd ski ball for money.

623
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:06.079
I think it'd be a great place
to relieve some like stress. There's

624
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.880
probably some like you know what those
boxing games should have one of those um

625
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:14.840
those rooms, those like rooms smash
smash room or wherever are you just going

626
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:16.880
you just destroy? It could be
it could be here in this red light

627
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:20.440
district, could be in the red
Light dish. But if you have some

628
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:22.440
kids, you're here, there's some
stuff to do. You could maybe let

629
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:27.079
them go to the Ark and the
Twilight Zone and then meet them for dinner,

630
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.239
break and then let them mom take
them back to the room. But

631
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.239
there's some cool stuff. Yeah,
And I'm gonna bring my son one day.

632
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:36.039
I'm gonna spend probably twenty five bucks
on a ticket for each of us,

633
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.920
probably have to buy him some plush
dinosaur and I'm gonna begin I'm gonna

634
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:43.400
have to gonna take them the RK. I'm probably gonna be buried two hundred

635
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.920
dollars on horseshoe exhibition stuff, and
yeah, that's how they get my money.

636
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:51.079
Crazy, I'm gonna have to go
down there and check out this,

637
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:52.440
dinosh. I think, all right, what's coming up on the schedule.

638
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:57.599

the twenty five K six Max. You're

going to have a second stream is
going to be taking place from the Horseshoe

664
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.559
Final Tables what we're calling it.
That will be handled by Remco Rinking my

665
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:49.679
and myself over on the poker Row
YouTube channel. If you have multiple screens,

666
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:52.480
fire them both up because we're gonna
be going in two spots. Just

667
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.119
make sure that you're listening to Remco
and I and not the other guys,

668
00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:58.679
because you know we're more more fun. Oh, we gotta talk about hustler

669
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:00.760
scene alive to it because you know, they just decided to set the record

670
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:09.960
for largest yeah, largest pot in
live stream US poker history something like that.

671
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:16.079
I will say this, it is
a pet peeve of mine when they

672
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:22.360
say or people say largest pot in
televised poker history. This wasn't on TV.

673
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:29.039
It was on YouTube. Okay,
so let's just be clear. Our

674
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:32.440
pot also was not on TV.
It was on poker Rill and YouTube.

675
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:38.039
So this is just live stream,
live stream pot. Like that's just I

676
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:42.000
feel like you're in the minority on
this. I don't care. This is

677
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:45.679
how I stand. I'm pretty sure
Jeff Platt agrees with me, and that's

678
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:52.000
all that I need. So the
hand that happened, they're playing what were

679
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:54.840
they playing? What were the blinds
five hundred thousand with the with the two

680
00:42:54.920 --> 00:43:00.719
K they're playing the stand up game, but they don't stand up, so

681
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:06.000
it's kind of tricky. Yeah,
Tom Dwan is the straddle. Okay,

682
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:08.519
so the two main figures in the
pot, there's actually three main figures in

683
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:10.760
the pot. Should we wind it
back a little bit and talk about the

684
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:15.480
other hand? Seven seven hand?
That hand, I'd have no idea what

685
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.119
Tom and don Tom Dwan is doing. He's an alien to me. Tanking

686
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:22.960
the river with a full house there, like I don't for more than five

687
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:29.000
minutes. Yeah, the board was
king seven deuce with two diamonds, and

688
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.559
then it came six six and on
the river, Doug bet I think it

689
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:36.400
was four twenty into like three hundred. Yeah, and Dwan legit tanked for

690
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:39.199
more than five minutes. Eventually he
had the clock called on him, and

691
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:45.679
then he called and like Doug shows
five high five four suited Dwan. You

692
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:49.920
know, Dwan, I think I
think he said something along the lines of

693
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.320
like I'm pretty sure I have the
best hand or something like that, you

694
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.880
know, and then turns his hand
over and like the whole table looked at

695
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:58.360
him like he had nine heads coming
out of his neck. Yeah, like

696
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:01.679
that very very very weird. He
was claiming that you know he was tanking,

697
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.760
shoving or just calling. I don't
know. The hand was extremely weird.

698
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:14.039
So yeah, then this monster hand
comes up. So when I say

699
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:17.519
there's three characters in the hand,
there's two main characters and then there's a

700
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:22.880
secondary character. Two main characters are
Tom Dwan and Wesley. And if you

701
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.320
watch Hustle, you know who Wesley
is. I don't think he has a

702
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:29.280
last name. He just goes by
Wesley. But then Doug Polk is in

703
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.360
the mix. Because so here's how
the hand plays out. The dealer deals

704
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:37.840
the cards. Okay, now they
start folding around the table. They fold

705
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:42.039
over to the guy LSG. Hank
who's in the hijack. He raises to

706
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:45.159
seven thousand. Okay, he has
ace of hearts, eight of clubs.

707
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:51.480
Now, Doug, who is in
the small blind, says that he saw

708
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:55.920
Wesley's cards. Wesley is sitting directly
to Doug's right. Doug is directly acrossing

709
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:59.679
the dealer. He's in the small
blind. Wesley's on the button, he's

710
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.719
direct to Doug's right. He says
that he saw his cards. Okay,

711
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.719
so the tables all everyone's kind of
like, huh, what's happened you know,

712
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:12.880
like whatever. So after Hank raised
it folds to Wesley. He then

713
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:15.119
three bets to thirty thousand, and
Dougs like, you know, I saw

714
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:20.840
your cards whatever, But like Doug
still like looks at his cards and then

715
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:24.000
goes, oh, I fold.
And then after that happens, Wesley like

716
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:28.000
throws Doug his cards to then look
at him, and Dougs like, I

717
00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:30.079
know what you have at only need
to look And Westley's like no, no,

718
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:31.320
look look look dog looks. He's
like, yeah, I know,

719
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:35.480
you know, and then he gives
them back to Wesley. So that happens

720
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:38.880
in the hand gets over to Tom
Duan, who was the straddle. Wesley,

721
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:42.239
by the way, has Ace King. Okay, he's got the Ace

722
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.119
of Diamonds and the King of hearts
Ace King off. So now it gets

723
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:49.639
over to Tom Duan and the straddle
who I won't say what he have has

724
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.119
yet because you don't know the graphics
don't show it. Yeah, and you

725
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:57.800
can kind of see his cards on
the card box, but they're kind of

726
00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:01.119
like only three quarters of the way
in, so maybe the graphics antenna wasn't

727
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:06.159
picking him up correctly, but you
don't see his cards and he four bets

728
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:10.480
to one hundred thousand. Okay,
it folds back over to Wesley. Hank

729
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:15.599
folded with the ASA, folds to
Wesley. You know, he's getting a

730
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:19.280
count on Dwan's stack. He's doing
this, doing that. He then five

731
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:23.519
bets, makes it two hundred and
seventy five K. Dwan thinks, makes

732
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:27.519
the call. Now we're going to
the flow, and it's kind of like

733
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:32.519
funny because Doug knows what Wesley has
and it's just it's weird. So there's

734
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:37.800
more than five hundred k in the
middle already. It comes eight eight three

735
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:43.679
with two diamonds eight three of diamonds, then the eight of spades Tom Dwan's

736
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:47.079
first act. He checks Wesley bets
one hundred and twenty five thousand into five

737
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:52.519
fifty or so. Dwan makes the
call. Still you still don't know his

738
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:57.159
cards. Yeah, turn is the
five of hearts. Dwan's got about one

739
00:46:57.239 --> 00:47:00.480
point one million or so. He
checks Wesley fires three hundred and fifty k.

740
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:06.280
M. I can't remember exactly if
this is when you found his cards

741
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:07.639
or did we see him on the
road. We didn't see him to the

742
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:10.639
end, okay, so well that
they showed him finally on the graphics like

743
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:14.639
while he was in the tank,
like right before, right before he called

744
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:17.760
I think. So Dwan calls the
turn, so it's eight eight three five.

745
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.000
They went check one twenty five on
the flop, check call one twenty

746
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.800
five, check call three fifty on
the turn. River is the six of

747
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:30.440
clubs um so complete some straits,
but I don't know if too many people

748
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.400
have straights here. Tom Dwan checks
again. He's got seven hundred and eighty

749
00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:37.320
six thousand dollars back. Wesley moves
all in. Tom Dwan says did he

750
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:39.880
say all in? And Wesley didn't
say anything after that, but the dealer

751
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:43.280
had thrown the all in chip in
front of him. The dealer confirms that

752
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.199
yes, he is all in.
Dwan immediately gets up from the table and

753
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:51.800
says, I'm gonna go get a
water, which is very bad. So

754
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:55.159
he like walks five feet away to
like some side tray, gets a water,

755
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:59.840
comes back and sits back down.
You know, he's tanking for a

756
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.360
bit. You know, he's going
through all this stuff, and he starts

757
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:07.400
saying things like he's gonna be crazy
if you just flop trips, like if

758
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.920
you just have an eight. This
is a weird fucking hands. Saw his

759
00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:15.360
hand try to talk him out a
free Bodings free bed anyway. I mean,

760
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.679
I guess he's just flopped in eight, but SI was very hard to

761
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.159
Floyd. It's going through all this
stuff. So we don't know Dwan's cards

762
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:27.480
yet, but it seems pretty apparent
that he probably has like Jackson queens or

763
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.920
yeah, Jackson queens, Yeah,
probably doesn't have tens here aces. He

764
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:35.519
probably has already made the call kings. I think it probably plays differently pre

765
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:37.440
flop. I don't know, but
queens or jack seemed the most likely.

766
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:42.000
Then eventually you see the graphics and
he's got queens, and then he calls

767
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:46.159
Wesley, throws over the ace King, Dwan turns the pocket Queens over.

768
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:52.360
He wins. The pot is three
point one million, the largest pot in

769
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:59.280
US poker live stream history. Happened
on Hustle Ercasin Alive Tonight, Wild Stuff,

770
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.119
Absolutely why Stuff. I think at
the time they had fifty one or

771
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:06.400
fifty two thousand people watching, so
really good number in terms of viewers.

772
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:09.679
Sing Patrick Antonius and Eric Person played
the what was a two point something million

773
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:13.159
pot? Yes? Was that?
What it was? I can't remember exactly

774
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.679
what it was, but Hustler Casino
Live now has that trophy. Um,

775
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:21.320
you know, kudos to those guys
putting on absolutely banger shows. I can't

776
00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:27.360
help but think that Wesley getting be
rated and a lot of people calling him

777
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.280
out for being so nitty. The
other night on the stream, he bought

778
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:34.280
him for three million dollars. It
was it was day two of this like

779
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.920
four or five day action. He
bought him for three million dollars and played

780
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:45.559
extremely tight. I think it was
like something I think it was. It

781
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:49.280
was low and they were like making
fun of him forward that the husk guy

782
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.000
was coming after him. There was
kind of like some verbal altercation. They

783
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:53.880
were going back and forth, all
this sort of stuff. So I can't

784
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:59.559
help but think that that played into
Wesley's mind here and that's why he yolo

785
00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:05.280
went for it with the five bet
then bet bet shove like this is a

786
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:09.480
good theory, and I don't think
I don't think what I think. Wesley

787
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:15.960
has been open that he's pretty new
to poker and like the grand scheme of

788
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.440
things. You know, he hasn't
been grinding for ten fifteen years. I

789
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:21.599
don't think, not not to like
knock him, but just as as a

790
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:24.239
how to describe this in a bit
away was kind of a rookie mistake that

791
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:30.800
he just wasn't experienced to drown out
the noise of how people were calling him

792
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:35.280
a knit and he decided to go
for it. Now, listen, it

793
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:37.800
still takes a lot of freaking balls
to do what he did, right.

794
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:43.519
I mean the other day when Rampage
pulled that bluff and made hands on the

795
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:47.320
the flop was queen jack ten and
then the turn was what a blank in

796
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:52.519
the river? Was a blank?
And uh, Rampage at check check raised

797
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:55.559
the flop bet the turn shoved the
river um with just a seven of clubs,

798
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:59.440
he turned a backdoor club job but
ultimately bricked out. Just had ace

799
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:02.360
high and hands had top set of
queens and ultimately folded. That was a

800
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:07.280
million dollar bluff on the river.
So and everyone is like, oh my

801
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:09.440
god, Rampage, so good,
you have such balls whatever, Like,

802
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:13.920
I mean, Wesley had a lot
of balls too in this spot. I

803
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:16.840
mean, it didn't work out for
him. Tom Dwan made a good call,

804
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:21.559
a tough call, but it still
takes a lot of balls to put

805
00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:24.719
your money on the line in that
regard. Um, But I still can't

806
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:30.719
help, but think that maybe he
let the outside noise of being called a

807
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:32.320
nit get to him a little bit. Nick Airball was at the table and

808
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:36.559
he said, you know, if
anyone calls Wesley and knit ever again,

809
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:38.559
I'm gonna fight them, you know, because I mean, he just went

810
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:44.920
went nuts with just Ace High here. And I don't know how close Tom

811
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:46.559
Zwan was to folding. I don't
think we know. I think he made

812
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:50.880
some comments like, you know,
I'm just gonna fold and you're just gonna

813
00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:57.559
show me like you know, a
seven. Maybe he was really close to

814
00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:00.800
folding. Maybe maybe Wesley did almost
pull this off, but it was a

815
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:07.559
wild wild hand. Tom's Wan wins
the pot pocket queens three point one million

816
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:12.599
dollars. Insane shit, man,
it's funny that you know Day one of

817
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.239
the world too his poke. We're
talking about Hustle Seen Alive because this happened.

818
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:16.639
I think this is the last day
of the game. Yes it is.

819
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:20.599
Yeah, poker world is in a
frenzy, in a weird kind of

820
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:25.719
selfish angle to this. I feel
like this does well for like poker go

821
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:29.559
streaming, because I feel like a
lot of people are just wanting they want

822
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:32.800
to consume poker right now. Yeah, I think you know, we're twenty

823
00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:37.039
four hours, thirty six hours away
from the first UPSP live stream, so

824
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:39.639
like it's it's go time, you
know. So it's good that Hustler has

825
00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:43.800
us out there and they had such
high viewership and they were able to set

826
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:45.760
this record because you know, competition
in the space is a good thing.

827
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:50.639
Kudos to those guys for doing that. And you know, here we go.

828
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.280
This pot was freaking wild, like
the whole thing with like Dougsy and

829
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:58.199
the cards, not knowing Tom's cards, the fact that Wesley had been getting

830
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:00.440
ripped apart by everyone for being a
n it, like the whole thing.

831
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:04.599
How it kind of all came together
was almost like too good to be true,

832
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:07.320
Like you couldn't script this sort of
thing, but here we are.

833
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:10.840
M that was pretty incredible overall.
What's that? Oh, you're waving the

867
00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:06.199
I'm a one bullem. I'm a
won bullet man, so I'm probably

868
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:07.599
gonna spend a couple of bullets.
I mean, hopefully I don't, but

869
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:10.599
