Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Girl Podcast,
the number one poker podcast in the universe. You can believe that universe,
the universe, the galaxy, the Milky Way, the Milky Way,
whatever you want to call it. Where the number one poker podcast, wherever
you want to call it. My name is Donny Peters. His name is
Tim Duckworth. Fun little show today because we had an impromptu interview with Sean
deeb who is gunning for Player of the Year. He already he already want
a bracelet earlier this summer. He's the captain of our twenty five K fantasy
team. What I mean by that is he's the guy we paid the most
money to get. Okay, so we're pulling for him, you know,
on the inside. We're not trying to show it on the outside, but
we're pulling for him on the inside. We'll get to that interview in a
little while. Fun show today. Overall, we had some winners, David
Simon winning the half and half fifteen hundred dollar Potlam and Omaha slash Noelman hold
Him or Noelman Holham slash Potlam and Olmaha, whichever order you want to put
it in. That was a huge event. By the way, I didn't
realize how big it was. Claus Ilk topped the Super Seniors event. Ryan
Miller aka Little Shit, and I say that as it is his nickname.
He loves it. It's totally endearing from his friends and his peers in the
industry, So no malicious intent there. That is his nickname, Little Shit.
He won his first bracelet. Michael Rodriguez was denied another bracelet. He
was denied by William copp. Gabriel Schroeder won the Super Turbo Bounty that was
supposed to wrap up yesterday but was pushed to a second day. Three players
remain in the six hundred dollars Deep Stack Championship. They are currently to the
left of us bagging up their chips. Beers are being had. They will
return tomorrow to play to a winner. You have the five K six max
playing down towards the final table and Ian Matacus is in the field. And
if you don't know who Ian Matacus is, he is the current Player of
the Year front runner coming out of nowhere. Believe he's from Minnesota. Yeah,
online player by trade, Yeah only really plays Noliman hold him in polo
crush came out here want a bracelet online? Has I think, well,
if you include this five K six Max tournament, his sixteen cashes this summer
Jesus six are online and him and Sean deeb are neck and neck for the
POI title. And the reason why we were able to get Sean is that
Sean came over here after bagging the fifty k PLO to meet Ian and talk
with him and basically impose his will on him and be like, listen,
this is my turf for the moto. That's not really what happened, but
that's what I like to think happened, Matagus. Depending on where he finishes,
it'll just decide how big his lead is because he's guaranteed to overtake Sean
Deep. That's why I say he's the POI front owner right now. So
that's a cool old story that is going on here at the World Throughs Poker.
You had the Ladies Championship down to the final fifty six forty eight.
Okay, they're they're getting close to a final table. They're pushing onwards.
Yeah they're not gonna make it today, but they're pushing onwards to a final
table. The ten k no limit deuced seven single draw bagged up their chips.
They bagged up early because they had a late start time, but they
backed up massive, massive, massive numbers. In the Colossus I played today,
I fired two bullets. We're gonna go over that because I got three
cool hands that I played. Not two of them weren't well. One of
them was cool, but I still got eliminated on it. But I still
think it was freaking really cool. Um because I wrecked the guy. The
other one not so cool because I'm whatever the Plo high roll or this fifty
kpol Ohi roll or the one that Sean d bagged in Timmos me a coffee,
boys and girls, listeners from all over the universe, the Galaxy,
the Milky Way, whatever it is. Because the line was one sixty one,
I took the over. They're at at least one hundred and sixty seven.
There's probably gonna be twenty five more. Tomorrow morning. We could see
a hundred the water blew it out of the water. I hope it gets
over two hundred entries in that thing. It would need to get thirty three
late entries, and then we'll talk about what's coming up. So that's that's
that. That's what's going on the show. As always, don't forget like

Okay, so we're gonna throw it to that He sat down with me,
Tim sat it out because we only have two mike set up. We don't
want to do it. I got replaced, You got replaced temporarily, temporarily,
but it's good. It did hurt a little bit. It's a good
interview with mister deeb who is gunning for Player of the Year. You'll hear
all about that right now, and then we'll come on back and we'll get
into the news and happenings, all right, Sean Deeve, I heard you
had a million chips over there in the PLO. I do, yeah.
I actually had one point two earlier in the day. Got down to like
seven to fifty one some pots the other night. I kind of knew everyone
wanted to bag up, so I went for it on some spots and they
just folded to the c beat and yeah, picked up some interesting hands on
day one. It seems like to me that you are extremely good at polo
tournaments. Where do you rank it among like the different games. I think
that the issue with Pilo tournaments for other people is all the best Pilo players
or cash game players and there's so many more tournament ranges in spots that they're
not as used to and stack deps so they're not gonna possibly choose some of
the sizings I would take or some of the hands to play back. And
you know, Pilo cash gun players assume that people are always calling their three
bet while an a Pilo tournament you actually get a ton of folds preet,
so you actually deny equity. So a lot of your weaker hands are actually
better to pick us three bets than calls, and they're used to so often
getting called, so they're tend to be a little bit too passive, pretty
I think. And and then when other people squeeze because other people are three
betting so tight that they actually call too much, because they're like, oh,
I've eight, eight, nine, ten double suited, like I'm always
seeing a flop of this hand. But it's like you're thirty five blinds deep
putting in eleven blinds us a pretty strong range, like you're not too happy
when you flop. You know, a gut shot and a tenie flush straw,
you're gonna get it in. But your an equity is not gonna be
nearly as good as it would be in a cash game where against like dry
aces or some other you know, non paired hands, a little more often.
How do you think your summer's going so far? Obviously want a bracelet
already. Yeah, so you know my number one goal every series is POY
second goals. Bracelet's third goal is money, So I'm the third goal is
money. A lot of players would have that number one. Yeah, thankfully
I have enough money right now, but it's not that important. But no,
I think, you know, I know the money comes with the other
two things usually, but this year for POY, I'm currently second and Ian
some some fucking how it's still in this fucking five random online player out of
the Midwest. Yeah, his crushing he has had. He's had summer of
all like sixteen cashes. I think six of them are online. He won
and online bracelet. So yeah, when and actually met him, bagged the
PLO came over. You had to meet him for the first time. You
know, you want to see your competition, talk some ship to him,
but no, it seems like a super nice kid. We're chat and he
was talking about how Lucky got with the ace Jack first ace king. You
know, if he gets ninth place like he's doing these positions, he keeps
finishing these tournaments are not that good at POY. He could have in the
Millimaker, he could have got one hundred and eightieth or fifteenth and got the
same amount of points and been there for two less days. So it kind
of shows one of the flaws in the formula. But obviously he's having an
amazing summer. Obviously he's a great player. I've never played with him before
online or live, so I'm intrigued to see. And obviously he doesn't even
play any mixed games. He's a Nolan and PLO only player. Told me
he's sold enough action to play the fifty KPLO and he's like, oh,
if I bust this, I might max lay red. She's like should I
was like, of course you should. Like you're obviously a good player,
and you sold the actions, You're gonna be comfortable to the stakes. And
it's also a great field. So and I was like, I don't want
to win because you are priced out of some of the buyings. I want
to have, you know, this battle to the last week, because that's
one of my favorite parts this POY is the unknown contender stepping up. You
know, I know a lot of people know who josh Ry is, but
he didn't have good term results when he won, you know, he had
the outlier year, and that's Ian this year, and that's kind of fun.
It's like every year I battle with whoever's the outlier of the year.
You know, last year Dan Zac great player, Dan Wyman, great player,
but I was right there with them, and so I'm always you know,
in striking distance. My goal most years is to be within a bracelet
of ever's had the outlier year. But this year, with my results,
you know, first, second, two fifths and a bunch of cashes,
I you know, usually would be such a big equity favorite. But Ian
is crazy. Man. He's got almost you know, four thousand points.
Now. I think he has an online score for two hundred points that he's
even calculated yet. So I'm stalking him. Well, I'm keeping on updates,
keeping tabs, and yeah, it's gonna be a crazy final two weeks.
Why is POI like the number one thing that you chase. So it
starts from the first year I really got into poker. I battled for the
Poker Stars tournament leaderboard. I came second the first year, like playing full
time when I was eighteen. I won it the next two years, and
so I've always cared about yearly leaderboards because I think the grind aspect in the
volume is one of the most impressive things in such a mental sport as poker.
So if I've always cared about that, and as the bracelets get diluted
every year, with you know, hundreds given out a year, what's the
thing that there's only one of and that's Player of the Year. So and
early on in my career, you know when Frank Casell one, Ben lamb
Win, Gordo one, Jason one, like all these kids I was really
good friends with who I thought I was as good, if not better,
a terment player and also put in more volume. I was like, and
they needed me for years. So after like fifteen and sixteen, when I
was playing a lot of cash, I think it was seventeen or eighteen,
I said, all right, I'm never playing cash during the series again.
I'm going Player of the Year all in, gonna play every event, possibly
multitable, fired up, have some fun. And I've loved it every year,
and I love building up the hype for it. And I really hope
Caesar's or whoever takes over the World Series at own point in the future puts
a massive, massive, Player of the Year prize pool up because they will
get that money back five to tenfold if they gave him million dollars and paid
out top thirty people. You have everyone, every big name player, playing
all these events, all this extra rig all this extra promotion, and that's
what I'm really hoping will happen one day in the future. I mean,
it seems like that sort of thing, like the big prize pool for it
is I guess more necessary now or or would be better now. With all
the competition that you see around town, a lot of guys you know,
go into other places. They go over to Aria, play some high roller
tournaments there. There's that bet MGM series. The win always has to like
there's all this stuff going on around town. Well, you would almost force
people to stay here, especially the people like yourself, but other people that
are you know, if you're like fortieth in top twenty five or thirty,
gets some money, like you're like, okay, I guess I'll stay at
the series. Yeah, And I think everyone who wins a brace It early
is going to use that money to try to make sure they stay on that
leaderboard. I think it's so obvious to us out pace for itself. Getting
corporate to get on board is the really difficult part. And you know,
I came close to this year to doing a player funded prize pool. I
had this concept where I was gonna put up fifty k. Anyone who's won
Player of the Year before it puts up twenty five k, and one who's
never one it puts up ten k, and be winner take all, you
know, must win Player of the Year. And so if I don't,
if there isn't a prize pool next year, I'm definitely doing it. And
I was too distracted with the weight loss bet in the last couple of months
to really organize this. And really, you know, and I think I'm
taking the worst of it. It's like I'm not going me five x better
than Ben you or you know, Benny Glazers. So there's so many like
Hastings, you know, our mercy. I might come out retire. There's
so many people who can battle for Player of the Year, who are great
players at all the games, and I think it's just an extra little bit
of motivation, an actually a little bit of camaraderie. And you know,
even the funny thing is like everyhere I do Player of the Year like when
josh one and when dan Zac won, they would ask me like, what's
the order to play things? Let's do this, and I give them advice
every time, like I've solved a lot of the theory behind what's optimal hourly
to point ratio and how to play, you know, with Player of the
Year contentions, and yeah, it's been fun. And I think if I
somehow suck out on Ian and win this year, I still think I'm a
small favorite. But obviously his result in the six Max, if he gets
top three, you know, it really puts me in a tough top spot.
What events going forward do you think kind of give you the best chance?
I would say other than the fifty k PELO because you bagged a million
there so, and any online event just because they're so fast and you can
multi table doing them without hurting your equity in a different tournament. But I
was gonna say, I think, you know, if I get to two,
we're going to see a new Daniel Grona next year, and we're gonna
see him going grind, going into the full shown deep schedule, which I
think will make his vlogs amazing. I think he's done so well in some
of the small buying small big field events, and I really just hope to
light a fire under his ass, because you want to see great competition.
You want to see the top guys with results. And I think if Daniel,
you know, takes Play of the Year seriously, he's gonna be my
number one competitor. How do you manage the double venues a little bit different
than the rio of the old that was all kind of crammed into one space.
I know I had different rooms, but it wasn't horseshoe to Paris.
So I actually think it's easier here because of the fact that back then you'd
be in the three rooms a lot for different day ones and moving around and
different things. Yes, they are slightly closer, but day two is weren't
in the same room now this year, Day two is always gonna be closer.
So the one thing that hurt me for multitabling this year was the compacted
schedule with the ten am star time. The ten k's moved up to two
pm and shortened at eight levels that day last year and in year's past I
used to bag whatever the no limit was at, you know, eleven or
twelve, and then go play four or five hours in the ten k and
try to run up a stack in that now because the redge closes in such
a narrow window for the three events, and there was twenty four days of
triples this year, so that made it a lot harder. You know.
There was one time I was in a fifteen hundred stud eight. I was
going to play the Salute of Warriors, but I there was half the tables
around this side, half tables on the other side, and I drew the
parriside, so I on Rench. So I definitely try to go for it
in some spots. But yeah, I think, you know, this venue
is so so much better. There's so many more positive I love staying at
these rooms. I go to my break when I make a day two or
day three to my room and it's I have all my meals there. Like
Poker Meals has done a great job. I just got new meals today.
I'm so excited to go to the room and get some you know, variety
out of my meal plan. And that's actually the crazy. It's like the
weight laws bet. Having the food on to man and being ready has made
so much eas It's not like I sit around that I'm hungry and that go
get food an hour. It's like, I know my food's there. My
massage therapist, Kim has been running food for me all summer long. Whatever
I need, she's been there. So I've had more help this year than
any other year. So it's been awesome and that's part of the reason for
my continued success. How do you think the way loss bet is going?
Is it better or worse than you had expected coming into the summer. It's
about what I expected. I've lost about fifteen pounds during the series so far,
but unfortunately I have not gone to the gym and lifted at all.
I've done some push ups in the room a couple of nights. I'm probably
do a couple tonight. And I only went to the gym to the treadmill
on the night I want a braceletause I knew I wasn't going to sleep at
a time soon. So yeah, I kind of I care about Like you
see how passionate about Player of the Year, and people are like, oh,
even millionar welos bet. But player of the Year you only have a
couple of times in your career you have a shot for it, and this
year I really have a shot for it. And so like if Ian didn't
have his year, I would have been a bracelet ahead of everyone else.
I would have been to win it. And so it's like kind of unfortunate
because having thirty five thirty seven hundred points this early for me with my volume
is crazy, Like I'm on pace for five thousand points, which no one
has ever came close to in je Vegas. I mean the year I won
in eighten, they had like forty three forty five hundred points. That was
with Europe where I had like a thousand points over there. So this has
been by far my best POY year, but also spend one of my worst
financial years because I've you know, done so well in every fifteen hundred and
I've bombed all the ten k pluses. So yeah, I really got to
do wellness plot, so the balance sheet looks a little bit better. Speaking
of pace, you're the captain of our fantasy team. We are currently in
first place. I'm trying not to get ahead of ourselves, but we are
at a pretty good pace right now. I think it's like a record study
based us and ren Lyn's team. Is your team a top ODB? Is
that you D five D one? Yeah? All the ODBS. I'm dominating
the ODB. Yeah, you're like four out of the top fifteen or something
ridiculous. I was first, second, six, and twelfth, I think
last I checked. But I mean, here's the first tea. I knew
Michael Moncheck was a fantasy stud. I want to draft him on my team.
I got stuck with Darren and Justin, two great players. I thought
it would go for more. And then I had the most points and I
had a choice between Jow Samoa or Munchek, and I knew Joo was playing
a lot of stuff. His taxes stuff was getting cleared up. He's a
great player, Mancheck is you know, not a professional poker player. He
loves poker, he loves to grind, has side bets. And I wasn't
one hundred cent sure he was coming out. And I texted one of his
friends I played with down in a stream and Champions Club, and he was
like, you should coach him a mix. He's going for all these bracelets
and I was like, is he definitely coming? And he didn't respond till
twenty minutes after the draft ended, and I was like god damn. So
immediately texted ODB. I said, hey, I don't know how the fuck
this guy wasn't drafted. He got fourth and po y last year of fifth,
he played the two fifty k. He's a fucking plays everything. He
doesn't know what he's doing all the games, but he puts in the volume
and that's all it managed for fantasy. I was like, make sure he's
a bonus player. So ODB ads him as a bonus player, and obviously
he crushed the summer one of Bracelet the first week, got second or third
third in the ten k raz and uh yeah, him and Dan Shack have
carried all my ODB teams. And so my strategy was I had my core
of my cheap guys and my bonus player, and I just rotated the high
guy being myself, Daniel Javieira and Dan Zach. So that's why my teams
have done so well. Is my core have just absolutely crushed it. And
uh yeah, it's a lot of fun. I hope to you know,
win a bunch of money in that and hopefully my fantasy team we got some
great no women players. Like the thing is, the main event is worth
so many points. The field bonus is gonna be massive this year. Anyone
can win if they get two people hit the field bonus in the main event.
I'm well aware. My co captain Matt Clark is like, I feel
like he's getting ahead of himself, and I'm like, dude, there's so
much to go. I mean, not even just the main event. Obviously
this fifty k plo that you're in, you got the twenty five k horse
and me did the whole bunch of stuff. Still going and I'm like,
long way to go, man, long way to go. But it feels
good so far, and you're leading the way. Our captain, which is
don't have that many fancy points and every only one of them was a ten
k where I got two points, Like that's just I mean, that's a
lot of fantasy points for me in general, but like the fact that it
was all individual events is just crazy. Like I'm very happy with what I've
done, but I expect more out of myself in the higher buyings, like
that's where I'm supposed to shine against the elite opponents. But I had to
skip almost half of the ten k mix so far this year, so it's
unfortunate. And but you know, there's always a few left that I having
the best is a few left. I mean, I think you're gonna probably
do pretty well in the main event. I mean, you probably have to
be one of the top favorites in that field. I mean, if there
could ever be a favorite in like a nine thousand player field, that's just
a bunch of landmines the whole way. I mean, I get it,
but I would put you up there with anyone, if not number one.
Here's the thing is, I'm not the most skilled Nolan player in the main
Event, but I have a good image and people are afraid of me,
and that is very beneficial in that type of tournament where most people are taking
the shots and it's their one opportunity of their career. So if I somehow
get deep in it cool, I can abuse some people. But the funny
thing is the main Event is the single worst POY tournament of the year.
It is so bad for POI you don't cash end to day three, you
miss a bunch of stuff, you can't multitable during it because there's just too
much money on the line. So I'm always happy when I bust Day one
of the main I'm obviously gonna try super hard because I did this crossbook where
I laid a big price verst Ari Engel, who I know is going to
go hard o. So yeah, so I'm gonna try and if I don't
do well, I'm gonna be okay with it. And that's the one nice
thing is when you're going for what I'm going for, it's the only time
of your career you're happy to bust the main because you get to go hop
in whatever dumb tournament is next, that's gonna finish five days earlier. Yeah,
and then you know, you know one of my brakest I won after
I busted the man i Max lay Redge, the ten K, six Max
and eighteen, so that was you know, there's always the next event,
and that's the mindset I have, and that's the mindset poker players need to
have. So you bag day two for this fifty K PLO, which has
insane numbers. All these plos are just out of control. Every events out
of control. Well every event is out of control, but the PLO is
like, for whatever reason, feels like a little bit Yeah. When you
know the twenty five KPLO, the guys who got second got as much as
I got both years I won it, and Kaka, I'm so happy he
won because you know, we battled. He's a great player. You know,
he got very unlucky the final hand versus me, Um, you know
a couple of years ago. And I'm super happy. He's a nice kids,
very gracious winner, super polite and you loved seeing those hard worker grinders
successful. So you're gonna be playing two tournaments tomorrow, just focusing on the
plo. How does that go? Um? So they actually pushed the Redges
back, and because I sold Action the fifty KPLO, I don't multitable during
it. But it's forty minute levels. But unfortunately the start time is gonna
be delayed as well because I'm sure thirty plus people are gonna maxilate Redge,
So there's that issue. But yeah, so I don't multitable when I have
other people have action to me. I think that's just I'm like charging markup.
It'd be different if I was doing what Daniel did and charges no markup
for the whole series and they get the equity and other stuff. But yeah,
I try to be as fair as possible to those win to invest in
me, because you know, sometimes they invest me. I don't know if
the pieces of they're buying are profitable. Some of the big no limits you
know, against all the GTO robot specialists who studied no limit the last ten
years while I've played you know, four weeks a year of no limit in
the last ten years. We'll let you get out of here. I can
go eat your food. Yeah, I'm excited, workout, maybe do some
pushups and some pushups. I'm gonna go check on the end because you know,
cajing the poker news updates are not great. Um so, yeah,
I gotta see somehow if he busted, and I can celebrate and just laugh
about how bad he's running, Like he's running so good to get to final
two tables, but how bad he's running, not to get a fifth or
fourth or like another bracelet, because man, if he gets another bracelet,
I had to get a bracelet more so, it's definitely a motivate me.
It's it's gonna be a great battle. And he seems like if he does,
you know, beat me, he's gonna be a good Player of the
Year contender, and it'll show that you can win Player of the Year without
win playing mix, which a lot of people don't think as possible. Yeah,
I think that That's kind of my big takeaway a Lease is that you
know, he kind of came out of nowhere. He's done it focusing on
the Nolman in the PLO. He's done a lot of focus online and it
just kind of shows the people that, yeah, if you have some success
early Parley, that's success into bigger things and then you can be challenging Seawandeve
even though Sean's running own playing seven tournaments a day. Yeah, it just
shows that, you know, skill is more importantan volume sometimes. That's right,
all right, Sean, well, good luck tomorrow on the fifty k
PLO or rooting for you of course, team DPMC. You're our captain,
so let's go. All right. So that was Sean Fan Deeve, Ted's
fish Fry himself. He's here, he's done it, Tim, Tim gave
me a face when I said Ted's fish fry because why you don't know what
Ted's fish fry means. It's his online name from back in the day.
It'll before my time, Yeah, before your time. M D bagged up
pretty well in the fifty KPLO. So let's go Sean F and Deeve.
He obviously cares a ton about Player of the Year. It was really interesting
to hear his Player of the Year idea in terms of like getting the players
to put up a prize pool. Yeah. Interesting. I'm not sure you
would get all of them to agree to it, but probably not, But
you know, I still think it would be cool or it'd be fun overall.
I do think, you know that it would be massively beneficial to the
WSP to have a big prize on Player of the Year. Yeah, you
know, I mean I think that that should kind of be your I don't
know if i'd put it like one B or one C behind the main event
winner. Obviously main event winner, Trump's all got it. Then I could
see arguments for fifty KPPC winner, okay, for like the person you want
to highlight the most, I guess, but player of the Year. I
think he needs to be right up there, you know, highlight the player
of the year. They did it for a whole summer. They battled it
out. They you know, they in the very least they made more full
final tables, if not one, multiple bracelets, right usually, So I
think that that is something that is I think is one bay Okay, Yeah,
that's Trump's Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, that's fine.
There's not PC banners, right, there's main event. If there was PPC
banners not well, they did have the Chippers Trophy. That's kind of like
a version of a banner, I guess, yeah, yeah, m but
player of the Year for sure, you know, get people you know to
play here gunning for it. Even more, there would be a lot of
people that would be chasing things. You know. For example, Mike Gordonski
wins the ten k horse, you know, has had some success this summer.
But in in his interview afterwards, you know, he said that,
like in regards to the Player of the Year, like, no one's gonna
catch Sean Deep basically in his mind. So he's fine with taking this week
off, going home before he comes back for the main and all the other
stuff to wrap up the series. But if there's a lot of money on
the line, does he chase it? You know, a guy like even
if there's you know, when we talk about player of the year, if
I ask here, you know who finished runner rop in twenty eighteen, no
one's really gonna not in what Player of the Year. Yeah, it's really
just a if you were to ask me that for any year. I would
just answer Phil Homi because he's finish pretty good. But like you know,
I think the first thing is how do we recognize player of the better?
And I would say some kind of prize, But that doesn't mean we have
to limit the prizes to just first too. We could top thirty. I
don't know. I don't know if I would go that deep um, but
I do think a prize. I think that that's that's probably something that you
could get some sort of sponsor behind. I don't know if you're going to
get a seven figure sponsor, but you know you might be able to get
a spot. Can you get a car? You know, remember when Daniel
Tuning that was a badass. I mean, well maybe it's now the Tesla
truck. Yeah, whatever, I mean, I think you could talk to
the WSP sales team. Let's see if we get that working for twenty twenty
four. I mean, I've always thought the WSP does really well with getting
sponsors, like new sponsors every single year. I know it's not the easiest
thing to do in poker get sponsors, and it's certainly not easy to keep
them around, but exactly there's always sponsors. So they're doing something right in
that regard, you know, and is a sponsor then more enticed to get
involved if they can be like the title sponsor of the Player of the year.
I don't know, but that would be cool. So fifteen hundred all
half and half Nolan hold them slash PLO two thousand and seventy six entries,
which I think is wildly large. I mean, I don't know what this
I don't know what this tournament got before. I haven't looked it up,
but that seems insane. It felt very big. I'm gonna check right now
see what it did last year, So you check right now, because that
just seems like I saw that David Simon won and he won what four hundred
and ten thousand dollars, and I was like, hold on for like a
half and a half tournament. That seems wild? Yeah, sand Pulasani one,
Yeah, okay, twelve thirty four and it got two thousand and seventy
s What is going on? Everything? Everything is okay. There have been
a couple of tournaments that have been down, but it's very small. And
if they're down, they're not down on a low, Okay, they're down
like you know, like it got like one hundred and fifty players last year.
It gets one hundred and thirty this year. Like it's small stuff.
The stuff that's up is freaking astronomical. Like it's wild. You have the
Gladiators of Poker becomes the second largest live poker tournament in history. Okay,
we're gonna talk about this Colossus, which is just the number is still going
up. By the way, the clock's right there. Like are people still
waiting in line out there? I mean they have to because the numbers keeps
going up. I don't know what's happening, but it's just wild. You
know. You have like stuff like the the I think the six hundredar deep
SEC Championship is actually down numbers. I thought I saw that, but I
don't. I don't know about scheduling because it was pretty close to the Colossus.
So if you're going to come out or you're like, well, I'll
just wait and spa. It's on a weekend, so it's a little bit
you know, that sort of thing. But that's what our social media manager
dude, I said, come play that the six hundreds. No, I'm
going to save it for the classes. Yeah, so I would I would
guess that there's a bunch of people like that. Anyway, David Simon won
four hundred and ten thousand dollars for defeating David ProCheck. David ProCheck was going
for his seconds vehical bracelet. David Simon got his first. Simon pretty unknown
from New Jersey but lives in Hawaii. Now, um, we had his
biosheet and it was honestly like reading a resume. It was like it worked
for it worked for this newspaper, did this sports coverage, did this.
He's a journalism major or studying journalism in college and did some basketball writing and
all that sort of stuff. And now here he is on the biggest stage
in poker winning this. This event was live streamed on Poker Grow, so
if you are a Poker Grow subscriber, you can check that out on the
live stream. But Tim spoke with him afterwards, and here is that interview
with David Simon. Congratulations David. First of people, RASA, since I
work on production, I have the luxury of having your bio here, and
it feels like I look through it quickly. I think you're a little more
qualified to do this interview then I might be looking at it it's got some
of your LinkedIn stuff on it. But firstly, you know, congratulations.
I don't really want to talk too much about I want to talk a little
bit more about life. And you know, you live in Hawaii, and
first question I have is, you know, what is the poker like over
there. The poker in Hawaii is, uh, it's all home games and
it's basically all all cash games. But everybody is very everyone has a lot
of gamble, so the games are really fun. The games are really talkative.
The game I play in I need to shout out to a town.
Uh, they're they're they've been railing from back there the last few days.
Uh. And it's it's like a real Ohana game. Um, and everybody's
just very welcoming. And we basically just play cash games because there's no casinos,
so there's no way to play live tournaments. We run one tournament a
year on Super Bowl. So really the Hawaii poker scene for me, I
play a couple of times a week that at the farm and we play cash
games and play one three and it gets pretty crazy sometimes, but that's that's
the extent of it out there. So definitely a pot time poker play obviously
a huge squall here. Yeah, do we think that pot time status may
change? Maybe we're gonna jump into more of a professional realm. You know,
I haven't even thought that far ahead of it. You know. I
come out to the series every year. I'm usually here for about a month
or so, and I try to grind a lot of tournaments, a lot
in the like fifteen hundred and under area. And with a score like this,
it is pretty tempting to look around and see if there are some other
opportunities to play some more events. But I don't see myself like leaving where
I live and like hopping on, you know, to go play everywhere.
But I will probably take some some more trips each year than than just coming
out here. So I'm stung going to your friends on the rio and she
was saying, how you know, you're trying to sell a bit of percentage
here and there, and you didn't sell that much of this event, which
is obviously Yeah, um, what what did you you know? Why did
you choose this event? You know, a mixed tum mix on mahyes,
that's something you kind of specialize in. Um. I would say that I'm
much more of a no limit tournament player. Um, I do enjoy playing
PLO cash games, and I've done okay in some of the mix events here
and some of just like the PLO deep stack events here. Um you know,
of the of the more smaller buy six USand eight hundred like, I
haven't run super deep, but I have played enough where I feel comfortable in
PLO tournament formats. But I'm always been way more of a of a no
limit player. And I knew all the guys at the final table. I
think we're better PLO players than I am, so you know, maybe it'll
show in some of the footage. I think between sterdaying today, I was
I overfolded probably a little bit in PLO, but I was mainly just trying
to stay out of the way in spots where I didn't need to get in
the mix and save myself for the hold the orbits, and it seems to
I'm mostly paid off. I guess one thing I'm always interested in when you
get a brand new face on the scene, not only at the WIT elsewhere
and poker, but it's it's certainly heightened at the WP. Is they're gonna
stick around? What are they gonna play? We're gonna see him putting in
a full schedule next year. Like what you know, what happens because obviously
the WSP bigger than anywhere else in the world that you can win life changing
money for very little amounts of money. David Simon turns fifteen hundred dollars into
more than four hundred thousand dollars. So to me, that's enough to come
blast a full summer next summer, you know, like play some bigger buying
events. Like I don't know what his full plans will be at that time,
but it'll be interesting to see because then you start seeing people and you're
like, oh, like we covered him last year, you know, we
talked last year, and like now he's doing this and this and this.
So I asked him a little bit about that. And when he was getting
interviewed by Pokiness, I was talking to his friends on the rail and kind
of a little bit, okay, you know, learning a little bit about
him. And he tries to sell action to his events. He saw like
twelve percent to this one. Um, so I guess he was pretty happy
that he didn't sell a big chunk And see that's awesome, Yeah, say
that that money geta's to others, but I'm sure, I'm sure someone that
passed on buying the action, you know, or possibly passed him buying the
action, is feeling the opposite. Yeah. Um the one thousand dollars Super
Seniors three thousand, one hundred and twenty one entries in this one, which
I also think is an increase over last year. I think last year was
in the two thousand. Somewhere closs Ilk won it for three hundred and seventy
one thousand dollars. Surprisingly, this was one of the most rowdy rails.
It was yeah, well there was an Argentinian at the rail and it was
bonkers until the Argentinian went out in six or seventh placed. Class is sixty
six years old. He started the day with eight big blinds. I think
it was twelve left to south. The day two ran it all the way
up, wins the whole damn thing. It's Austria's seventh WSP goal. Brace
it overall for this year. I'm joking, not this year overall, so
that's very cool. Congratulations to Class ILK ten thousand dollars Stud High Low Championship,
one hundred and forty one entries in this one. Needed a fourth day,
came back with six players. They didn't really have that many chips.
Like Ryan Miller wins the event for three hundred and forty four thousand dollars.
He was the chip leader when they came back with six and he only had
fourteen big bets. Then Bryn Kenny was right behind him with thirteen. Fourteen.
It's a decent amount. I mean, yeah, but it's not like
you know, it's not massive. I mean, it's it's obviously deep in
big blonds. Okay, I would argue that's less than fifty big blinds,
but it's fourteen big bet in a split pot gang. That's a lot.
I mean anyway, Yeah, and what three guys had like three big bets
each side? You need watching the Grounders vlog where he talks about his one
big bet coming into day three. I know it mixed games. You can
get very very short, trust me, I'm well aware, especially in the
stud games. But I'm just saying that, like there wasn't a lot of
chips in play overall. Well, it is a three day event, I
know, And it went to a fourth day with six people as they played
forever yesterday, These these ten K limit mixed game tournaments are just they take
forever. It's just that's just what they are. So and this one took
forever. Today they what time did they start today, because they got to
the two and they finished the bat ten yeah, ten or ten thirty Yeah,
with a dinner break in there. Yeah. I don't know why those
guys took a dinner break, but whatever, it was a good idea for
Ryan Miller. So they're playing. Ryan Miller starts today as a chip leader.
Um Bryn Kenny is right on his heels and then quickly takes the chip
lead. They're playing throughout the day. They eventually get to three handed play.
Ryan Miller's the short stacks, then Maximilian Maximilian Schindler goes out in third.
It's Bryn versus Ryan Miller. Like they exchanged the chip lead a little
bit, but Bryn Kenny basically opened up a massive lead, leaves Ryan Miller
with I don't know, three or four big bets something like that. Then
they decided to take this seventy five minutes to the break when Ryan Miller has
like sub four big bets when they would come back, okay, all the
momentum was for Bryn Kenny pre dinner. After dinner, things changed. I
don't know if there was some frog poison and Bryn's food. I don't know
what was happening, but I mean it did not go well posted or for
Bryn Kenny. You know, maybe we can ask him in a couple of
days, but I'm pretty sure he probably had a reservation in Nobu and wanted
to keep it. Something as simple as like that. I mean, that's
fine, but like I'm just saying, it didn't go well for him because
he came back. Ryan Miller fought right back in, you know, eventually
took the lead. Brent took it back, but then Ryan Miller took it
back again and stretched out his only next thing, you know, it's Bryn
Kenny, the one with you know, two three, four big bets.
And then Ryan Miller was able to finish him off not too long after he
you know, got him down below a million chips. And that's that.
Bryn Kenny misses out on his second BSP goal bracelet. He had won one
in twenty fifteen. Believe it was either eight game or ten game, ten
game, ten game, Um, I'll guess Calvin Anderson. No, Calvin
Anderson went deep in that event New Zealand, a New Zealand player yes,
no beyond oh okay. And then Ryan Miller took his first WSP goal bracer
for beating Bryn Kenny in this one. Ryan Miller aka little Shit is what
he goes by. East Coast cash game legend plays in the Big Game at
Borgata, mostly crushes it. I'm speaking with some of his friends on the
rail, you know. They say he's probably won millions in that game.
Stud Hilo is one of his better games, plays very well. They also
said that his biggest flaw over the years, and probably the reason why he
didn't have a bracelet yet because he has had some deeper runs in these WSP
tournaments is um, he treats the tournaments too much like a cash game and
he hasn't like correctly adapted. Okay, Um, he doesn't put it in
a lot of volume of tournaments. He plays a lot of cash out here
during the summer, plays a lot. I think over at Aria might even
like, you know, be kind of in charge of a game over there
or whatever. But yeah, I think and I think that's three hundred and
six hundred, So that's you know, no small game whatsoever. Um.
But yeah, so he did he did well here. You know, he
comes out on top. He's able to kind of, I guess, figure
out the tournament strategy at least in this tournament and take home what three hundred
forty four thousand, six hundred seventy seven dollars for his first WSP goal bracelet
fifteen pot limit Omaha high hand low. That's kind of like half and half
because there was a high enalo. Sure. William Copp wins it all two
hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars. His sister Katie Copp won the Casino Employees
Event last summer here, the first time the series moved down to the last
figas strip. Michael Rodriguez took second place. He won the Bedoguie event,
the first ever Badugi Eventum. And in his you know, we've been we've
been talking about the POI stuff, you know, yet trounde we got Ian
Matacus. Uh, Michael Rodriguez is like in the top ten, top five
somewhere, you know, especially with the second place finish for William Copp twelfth
cash. No, sorry, this Isuez. This is the worst ever.
Yeah, okay, I'll admit that it is so you just want to focus
on Michael Rodriguez and just forget William Copp. That's basically that's literally what Tim
has wrote on this. We write that. But so I continuing the POI
Tokia. All right, William William Copp, congratulations, two hundred fifty nine
eleven are twenty five dollars. Unfortunately, I have to stick to the rundown
and I have to move away from you, and I have to talk about
Michael Rodriguez, who earned his twelfth cash fourth final table. It's his biggest
cash money wise. Yeah, and he's top three now in POY pending all
the bather results pending pending this well, yeah, you got he's not over
taking day ball in but I think he's I think he moved into three pretty
safely. Got it with second place one thousand dollars. Super Turbo Bounty again,
this one needed another day. These are the super turbos quote unquote super
turbos, even though I don't think they're that super turboe. There's supposed to
be one day events in and now, well, when you get eight thousand
entrances get pretty hot. Just about twenty eight hundred and twenty four entries.
Gabriel Schroeder, Brazilian. I think you're resilient. Um. He won for
two hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars. I believe he was the one with
the other big rail today. Yeah he was. He had usually on one
side, he had Argentina. On the other side, you had Brazil the
World Cup. They had balloons for this guy of his. I thought the
balloons were down Lowry's. I don't know there was there was a cow bell.
Did you hear the cows? Oh my god? I mean I was
a point I know in the past, like you know, when the Brazilians
kind of first came on the scene, they brought the vouzelas. The Voozela's
got nixed. I am team noisemakers. Do whatever you want, like as
long as you're not breaking shit, you know, which we almost actually had
that the other day at the Millionaire Maker. Probably we lost the TV we
did, but that was that was sweet lose team. Oh yeah, you
know, like what happened to the million Maaker. Somebody broke a They had
one of those giant like drinks and they were slamming it and the bottom of
it broke. It was shaped kind of like a ball then upside down ball
and the bottom of it broke and the fucking it went everywhere. It was
a mess. Yeah, so like, just don't break stuff. If you
make a final table, I'm gonna like, I'm gonna bring a trump,
howbells, vovo zelas. You want to walk in here with a with a
drum over your shoulder beating it, let's go like I'm in for all of
it. And if you got a problem with the noise, get out of
here. I don't like like especially it's it's just and also like the South
Americans or Central and South America are the best round they don't how to do
it, they know how to do it now good No, but but rerem
Quin I were talking about this the other day on the live streams. The
English have are not good anymore. They're just not when's the last time they've
been good? But maybe that's back when it was like Jake Cody making final
table. That was like eight years ago, ten years ago. The British.
I'm saying, like, yeah, but even when the Brazilians stunk at
poker, and listen, the Brazilians are the best at poker right now,
but they used to be like used to laugh, yeah at the Brazilians.
Now they're like, you don't want to see a Brazilian at your table because
you can put you in the blender of Brazilian times and you hate it.
But before, but they still came out for their people, of course,
you know, in support, which we might get tomorrow because I believe Yury
Zoelevski's brother Vitour is still in the five K six man. Yes, so
we might get more Brazilian craziness tomorrow. But today we had in Argentinian rail
which was bonkers. They chanted, They literally marched out through the Colossus field
and we're chanting the whole time. They walked right behind me, chanting the
whole time. They were the ones that were throwing the money. I texted
you, I said, I said, uh, they're throwing the money everywhere.
We have this like what year is that table ten? The actual final
table? Yeah, which I shame on us. We haven't mentioned this all
summer. We have the actual final table. We got it from the warehouse
and we put it on display in the Horrors Shoe event center. Right when
you walk in, there's like some stairs on the right, you'll see a
big WSP sign. We lit up WSP lettering on the left side. You'll
see this display. It's the actual table that was used. We got out
of the warehouse. Tim built this whole display thing and we put a whole
bunch of fake money on it that you can sit down and take pictures.
People have been taking pictures all summer long. Okay. You can also enter
to win over there, to win a what lifetime subscription to Poker Go and
the main events? Holy crap? Can I win? No? Well,
yeah, sure, guess the riot get the question right. I don't remember
what the question was. Guess how many entrance are in the main Oh yeah,
okay, um, so yeah, so they have that. But so
this these Argentinians went over there and they were shooting a video celebrating and chanting.
There was like twenty of them throwing the money. The money's bundled up.
You and I bundled it up. They were throwing it out, they
were making it rain and I was like, uh yeah, they're throwing the
money everywhere. And I saw one security guard like go over there, like
before you got there, and I saw you walk over there, and I'm
assuming they kind of cleaned it up a little bit. No, those fucking
guys just they just like they just like took it off the tape security cleaned
it out. Well, I'm good whatever, because they should have been doing
their job and telling them not to fucking mess out with my ship. I
mean, what are you gonna do, man, Tomorrow, I'm gonna fix
it. All it was, it was. It was a blast having these
rails, um, really it was. But what I was gonna say is
that the Americans have the worst rails usually because well back and forth, the
chants are bad. Okay, they chant stupid things. They usually the Americans.
If there's ever rails that get out of line, it's the Americans.
Like they go they go too far. They make fun of the other people,
say stupid shit like just be fun, chant for your man, you
know, they just say dumb stuff. They as in week. Because I'm
an American, we do dumb things like that's just what we do. We
just do dumb crap, like just keep it cool. But the Brazilians,
the Argentinians, if we get vitour Zevlevski over there, there's a five K
rail is looking big. He must still be in because I see the Brazilian
media over there. It's the only thing on Let's go. Yeah, everyone's
watching Height, I believe, and that's gonna be live stream tomorrow on Poker
Grow, which probably gonna be absolutely bananas in this one case, super Turbo
Bounty. Getting back to that, now that I did rated the conversation for
a bit, Andy Black got the third many Black is back. There's this.
There's this random I mean you you guys have to watch this this do
you know what I'm talking about? The random documentary on on YouTube with Andy
Black like all in it. It's called it's called the Million Dollar Deal.
If you just look it up, The Million Dollar Deal. I believe it's
on this person, Luke McManus's YouTube page. Watch this. It's about forty
five minutes long. But it's great. It's great, and Andy Black is
all in it. So I would encourage you just to go to YouTube search
the Million Dollar Deal. Check that out. You'll see Andy Black's face there.
Um yeah, that's a fun one. Anyway, he's back. He
got there. Daniel Lowry got six places the six hundred dollars Deep Stack Championship.
Four thousand, three hundred and three entries in that one, almost two
hundred and seventy one thousand dollars for first place. Three players left, John
Taylor, David Guay and Stephen Stolzenfeld. I hope I got that last thing.
He died. They are going to battle for the prize tomorrow, so
you know, we'll talk about that winner when it happens. Twenty four k
right now, playing for two hundred and seventy Okay, I like it.
Five thousand dollars. Noelman hold him six max about eight players, I think,
give or take one. We still heard some commotions. Maybe you were
down to set. The rail looks a little bit smaller and look looks a
little bit more condensed, So maybe they are down to one table, which
would mean seven players left. Because a six hundred event, this one again
had eleven hundred ninety nine entries nine hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars for first
place. Angelina Rich is leading the way. I think she had to skip
the Ladies event because she's going deep in the pretty good decision. Yeah,

event last year, so she's still in title defense. That's pretty great.
Patty Landis is also in aka Daniel Legron who's assistant, still doing well,
and Maria lamperprop fulis probably butchered that last name. She's a crusher. She's
like a one of the top people on the Argentina all time money list.
By the way, she's like up there. Yeah, yeah, I think
so, because she had I think she had she won the million dollar.
I think it was a party poker live event. Um, but close enough,
same sort of thing she stood. Yeah, see can your name first

level tonight because they started late today. We'll get into that when we talk
about the Colossus. Alex Livingston looks to be leading in the way, which
we do not like to see on Team DPMC because he is on Team Lady
Gaga and we are going head to head with them for the gold and we
need it. Okay, But there's tons of big names still in Ellie Lesser's
out there. Daniel mcgron new is out there off his deep run in the
ten case tot eight, Jason Mercier, who just won the fifteen hundred dollars
version of this event, the fifteen hundred dollars Nolan meduced the seven single draw
took home on one hundred and fifty one thousand I think it was, and

see if Jason can find his way in the winner's circle again and make Rich
Ryan's little take should Amis get a little bit more true because Rich said Jason
murch is going to be the first person to nu chance overtake Philammies. Yeah,
I mean he'll he'll be right in the mix if he wins four bracelets
this year, and the way that he's going it might happen. Actually,
so underway today you had the four hundred dollar colossus, which is absolutely out
of control. Okay, So this thing's supposed to start at ten. I'm
gonna play. Tim was on the fence. I gotta I gotta seat on
the Horseshoe side. I show up here, I'm on time, I'm ready
to go. We haven't started on time. It's it's nine fifty eight.
This is why I knew we weren't going to start on time when I walked
over there and it was nine to fifty eight and people weren't allowed to go
inside the Rooge yet. I said, okay, well, we're definitely not
starting on time. Normally like five to ten minutes before they let you in.
I'm like, okay, well, we're probably not gonna start on time.
Then we get word that they just flat out announced dealer shortage. You
know, we're waiting for dealers. They had the restart of the ladies event
was going on in the Horseshoe event Center, and then what's the other one
called the Grand Ballroom. The Grand Ballroom is where like most of Classus was,
but also some of Colossus was in this room. But people had tickets
for seats where the women's were already seated, so that was a whole mess.
But they started Paris at ten. Paris was good to go the parasite,
so they started. We didn't get started on this side till just about
twelve o'clock, so about two hours behind, which is wild. I mean,
not that it matters, because we didn't like start into the tournament two
hours We started at zero like, so it was still fine. The field.
Last year on Day one A, I think the total it got over
thirteen thousand, A little bit over thirteen thousand. Last year on Day when
A, it had fifty eight hundred I think sixty nine. Okay, this
year, the current clock that I see about one hundred feet from us says
seven seven hundred and five Jesus, So almost two thousand more entries this year
and you could only in this tournament. It's only one re entry per flay,
so you can only put max four bolts in this thing. I mean,
more than two thousand entries today. Tomorrow is gonna have ten thousand people,
isn't it. Yeah, I'm not playing. I mean I was planning
on playing tomorrow. I don't think I'm going to now, because if you
want to, you should be definitely registering tonight. Yeah, but like my
problem is if I register tonight, I wish they could just tell me that
I would be starting at noon, or like this size is gonna be delayed
or that side is gonna be delayed. Like that would just be easier for
my life, right, I don't want to come here and like sit around
and do nothing. I can give you some work if you want to.
I have plenty of work. But it's like the getting up in the morning,
you know, you're all over the place. Regis to say, I
might lay redch tomorrow, We'll see how it goes. I'm also I just
I don't know how much more ten handed poker I can take. I just
I just don't and I'm just like ready to lose it. It's just not
that I like I understand capacity issues. I get it, but like it's
it's mostly just these people, Like people don't understand that, Like listen,
we're all there's ten of us at the table. Everyone is uncomfortable, Like
just be nice to the neighbor, like, don't try and take up more
space, like because you were there first or something like. It's just it's
the people that I get frustrated with. So I fired two bullets today.
Lay redge actually went extremely fast. Um, I was a little bit worried
that I might get stuck in a line for a little while, but it
took me maybe fifteen minutes. I have three interesting hands that I want to
talk about. We haven't talked about any hands in a while, so bear
with us here. If this is something you don't care about, you can
also just shut it off and move on. I don't know. So first
table I'm at is bananas. I mean, there's these people are just there's
one guy at my table. One guy at my table. He's like chatting
with some people on the other side of the table, and then he looks
at me and he says, welcome to the table. I'm like, thank
you. You know, what's your name? I forget his name. Like
we start chatting. First thing he says to me, are you a pro?
I say no, not a pro. And then he said stop lying
or something like that. And I was like, I'm not I'm not a
pro. And he said sports betting. I said no, I have a
real job. He's like, stop lying. I'm like, all right,
well, I just can't Like, what do you want me to say?
Man? Like what I have a job. I think it was because he
asked me where I was from and I said, Las Vegas. So he
just assumed that I was like a professional gambler. But I mean, I
don't think I want to know what's the percentage of the seventy seven hundred entries
that are professional gamblers that are showing up at ten am to play ten handed
poker. It's got to be very small, three three people exactly. So
people aren't doing that. They're professional gamblers. The shot takers like myself,
off the dreamers. Those are the guys showing up at ten hand okay,
not the professional gambles. Those guys are max late redging, possibly skipping because
they don't want to do this. Then he proceeds to tell me that he's
from San Diego and he hates the weather in SoCal Because I said, you
know, I spent two years. He said, how long have you been
out here? I said two thousand and nine, But I did spend two
years in southern California and Irvine, so you know I know about southern California.
San Diego is great, especially the weather down there. I love it,
he said. He said, I don't really like Irvine, hate the
people there. I don't really like the weather in Southern California. Either.
I was like, huh, Like, who doesn't like the weather in southern
California. You just can't be a real person, Like, you just can't
be I mean, so this table is bananas. You got one guy at
the table who played. He played every single hand until he busted. And
he busted. I think in the second level he tried to see every single
flop and I'm pretty sure he saw ninety percent of them and the one hand
that he didn't see the flop he actually had pocket queens. Like it was
like the most unreal stuff. It was bizarre land right, because the hand
with the pocket queens was I think it was under the gun raised under the
gun plus one called, under the gun plus two called. Then middle position
three bet. The guy who was playing every hand calls on the button.
Then the first guy calls the original razor he called, and then the plus
one re raised, so it back raises after calling. Then the three better
goes all in. Then the guy folds his hand on the button. This
is the guy who's been playing every hand and when he folded, he like
exposed the queens. Okay, Then the first raizor folds. Then the next
guy goes all and the other guy calls it's Ace King. It's Ace King
for the guy who called the first raising, then back raised, and then
it's aces for the other guy. So that money goes in. So the
tables just bananol. Then this hand comes up where I played against the guy
who just had aces. We started this with. We started with forty k
it's I'm gonna say this is level two and I get pocket queens. This
guy raises to eight eight hundred dollars eight hundred under the gun. I have
two queens, red queens. I make it twenty three hundred on the button.
I was just like, you know what, I'm just gonna three bet
and then go with it. If this guy just continues to raise me pre
flop like I don't, it's the colossus. Whatever, let's go. Um
he calls it comes nine seven six with the nine seven of spades. He
checks as the three better, like they're gonna bet here. I decide to
size it up and size up very large. Um. My reasoning here is
like I just put a lot of one pair of hands, you know,
like Jack's tends. The way he kind of called pre flop made me think
that like he had like a he had a hand, he won't he didn't,
like he thought pre flop, and like I was like, you know,
he definitely wants to continue with his hand, but I don't know if
he'd like how strong he is. Yeah, but he definitely he like he
is interest. You know. It wasn't just like I'm just gonna fold us
right away or like oh this is so bad, or you know whatever.
He felt like he had a pretty good hand. Good not great, I
don't know. So anyway, so he's thinking for a while, and I'm
on the flop. Because the flop was like sixty to six hundred, I
think he was in there or something like that. I bet six thousand,
so basically full pot. He thinks, for a while, Thanks for a
while, Thanks for a while, probably a minute in the tank. And
the longer he thinks, the more I'm thinking that, like I kind of
nailed with what I wanted to do here, and that is to put hands,
like because I don't have the Queen of Spades in my hands. So
he can have all the flush straws in his hand. He can have Jack's,
he can have tens, he can have eights here, which flops an
open ender. Obviously, if he has nine sevens or sixes and he flops
the set. I mean, whatever, good game. I'll tap the table
and I'll go find the rantry line. Maybe a chance he has like a
nine and eight suited, you know, something like that. So I'm like,
all right, well, you know, okay. So then he calls
after a little while, fine, great. My plan for the turn is
to see a good card and then if it's a good card for me,
I'm likely just gonna move all in if he checks to me and just like
absolutely put him in a horrible spot. He checks Deus the Hearts on the
turn, and he checked, I have thirty nine hundred in the pots,
like eighteen k. I put it in. He tanks for a minute or
so, calls it off with the jack tennis spades, jack tennis spades.
So he hit a flush draw and a gutter interesting, and he hits the
King of Spades on the river. So I was out. But I but
I'm actually very happy with my play here. Everything that I thought throughout the
hand came to fruition. Obviously there's some luck involved there, I get it.
But I think that you know, I took I guess kind of like
a less gto line more exploitative line there, but it's the Colossus and you
can just absolutely wreck people in this spot. Um and I think I pretty
much wrecked that guy. But he just got there and whatever it is,
what it is, no big deal. So I go re enter, get
moved to another table. I'm in this this this new room in the silver
section or this whatever events center ballroom, I don't know whatever. I don't
know the names of these rooms anymore. I had to be at the coldest
seat in the room. I love it because it's cold, but holy crap,
the guy to my left had shorts on and I could tell he was
like gonna go into hypothermia. It was like so cold for that guy.
So there's his hand. I play where it's three hundred, six hundred or
ten handed. It folds to me in the hijack seat. I have ace
three of spades. I make it fourteen hundred the small blind a woman she
calls it comes ace nine three, no spades, rainbow. So I flopped
top and bottom pair. She leads for sixteen hundred. So I'm thinking,
you know, should I raise here? Should I just call? I mean,
she had been pretty like make her hand, bet it you know.
So I'm like, Okay, she probably has an ace. No big deal,
Like, I can probably milk her for at least a street before I
need to make this any larger. I don't need to scare away here,
so I just call turn is the Jack of diamonds. There are now two
diamonds on board, the nine and the jack ward diamonds. She decides to
check. Now, okay, fine, I go thirty five hundred, so
kind of on the smaller side, I guess. She calls now the river's
the Jack of clubs, pairing the board, so it's Ace nine three rainbow
Jack of diamonds on the turn puts two diamonds out there, and then Jack
on the river pairs the board. She leads for six thousand. I mean
this is like, I'm like half annoyed because my two pair just got counterfeited
by you know, other aces. Yeah, I'm like, does she have
a jack? Well, I don't. It doesn't make really sense for her
to have a jack unless it's ace jack. But you know, the combination
there is just on the lower side because there's two jacks on the board.
I have an ace. There's an ace in the board. So I'm like,
you know how many east jacks are there, So okay, there's that
I'm blocking pocket threes ace nine is I mean, at this point it's the
same as my hand. It gets counterfeited. So I'm like, you know,
if she's got like in ACE ten, in Ace queen, you know
in Ace eight seven, stuff like that, the ace, Like, if
she's got an Ace queen or an Ace ten, I don't think she has
a king. Although I don't know. I haven't been playing a ton with
her to know if she's like gonna be three betting that hand or not.
Then I think a shove by me gets it done, gets her to fold
those hands. But then also with like the hands like the nine eight A
seven stuff like that, I can probably get her to fold out a chop.
Instead of me just calling here and hoping that it's a chop, I'll
just go kind of the other way and ramp up the aggression. So she
bet six thousand, I moved all in for twenty one nine hundred. She
thought for a little while gave it up, which when she was thinking,
it just made me believe that she did have an ace, and my plan
worked. So I really liked that one. And then my bust out hand
comes up. I will note that Stephen's song got moved to our table.
I made sure to inform him because I busted I think one or two hands.
After he's had down, I told him, I said, you really
need to get the field bonus in this event for our fantasy team. So
that was that. So it's five hundred one thousand, ten handed again under
the gun plus two makes it twenty five hundred dollars. Twenty five hundred.
Sorry I keep saying dollars for whatever reason. He's like an older gentleman.
Seemed like he's been pretty playing his hands pretty face up in general. I'm
in the LoJack with nine eightive diamonds. I call. Now, there's probably
some arguments you can make here that I can fold, which Tim will make
them for me. But you know, it's ten handed poker. Should I
be playing a hand like this, I don't know. I feel like,
So here's the thing. I feel like, I'm confident with myself post flop
that said you're about to hear how this hand played out. So maybe I'm
being an idiot. So I call LoJack. The button calls, and the
big blind calls. The big blind just won a massive pot by the way,
like the hand before against this French kid who just went absolutely ape shit.
Who. I had this French kid too to my left, and I
was like, waiting. I could just tell that this French kid was just
waiting to absolutely just take his stack and stick eighteen firecrackers in it and just
light them on fire. I could so tell. And then he did it
to this guy and I was like, I can't believe you did that,
Like, I mean, come on, it was so obvious that guy had
a big hand. Anyway, So there's four of us going to the flop.
It comes nine eight five with the nine eight of clubs and then the
five spades. So I flop top two. Big Blind just leads for five
k like instantly, okay, whatever the plus two the original racer makes it
twelve k. I mean, it's blatantly obvious his hand is Queen's plus probably
King's races. Okay, now actions on me. Now I start thinking,
and I'm thinking for probably two seconds. There's still the button to act behind
me, and the big Blind just moved all of his chips in it almost
tabled his cards. I mean, he like he had I don't know one
hundred and twenty K So he pushed all of them in the middle, and
he was like ready to tables cards the people. Next time, we're like
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. So now I'm like,
what the f Like what do I do here? Like does he like
he clearly like he's like so excited about his hand that like he's like ready
to jump out of the building, So like what do I do? So
now I'm like, really in the tank, I'm like, am I really
gonna fold this hand? Like I mean he could have pocket fives. I
mean he could obviously have pocket nines of pocket eights, yes, but I'm
also blocking those hands so less likely in my opinion. I guess he could
have eight five, but I mean I have an eight, so I don't
know. And then I'm like, you know, he could have hands like
jack ten of clubs, maybe as ACE five O clubs, maybe a ten
seven clubs, stuff like that, like and he's just ready to go,
like he could obviously have six seven. I get it. And then I'm
like, well, then there's this other guy who clearly has like queens plus
in my opinion, like that just seems so obvious, so if that guy.
So if I think the big blind has like Jack tena clubs, for
example, and then there's a chance that the other guy has pocket queens,
possibly pocket queens with the Queen of clubs, and that's really good against the
other guy who has Jack ten of clubs. But then even if he has
like kings or aces with one club like that also feels like kind of better
for me overall. So I'm like, well, I'm like, did I
really like flat this hand to fuld top two in the Colossus? Like if
this is the dubiest main event, like we're talking a different story, right,
I mean, this is the Colossus. I'm like, all right,
whatever, there's all this money out there. I like, I think I'm
ahead of obviously the original razor who you know, reraised or raised on the
flop, So I mean whatever, So I put my chips in for like
I think twenty six thousand, twenty seven thousand, button folds. Obviously the
button you know, beats me into the pot again for the second time in
the same hand, and then the other guy tanks for a bit, eventually
calls it off with he's got two aces with the Ace of clubs. Or
sorry. He didn't have the ace clubs. He had Ace's fades, so
he didn't have a club. The other guy had six seven hearts flopped a
straight, so you know, I'm just dead to an eight or nine it
breaks out. But I mean it was just it was just a weird hand
because the way that guy acted like it changed. I was for sure going
to jam the flop, okay, Like I was just gonna think a little
bit and then jam the flop, but then he did what he did,
and I'm like, you know, it's just it's just it was just frustrating
because I don't know if I should just like try and do like a live
soul read and like be like he just has it and like fold. But
then I'm like it's the four hundred dollar colossus. Like I've seen crazier shit
in my life, Like you know what I mean, Like it's like this
tournament because people are out of their minds half the time, Like you know,
likes he just had ACE nine and he's just like, yes, I'm
in. I'm all in for all my chips top pair, like you know,
maybe he flats two tens in the big blind, he's just ready to
go like, I don't know, the whole thing seemed kind of crazy to
me. So yeah, so that was just a bit frustrating. But that
going back to what I said, where I'm like, I feel like I
can call a hand like nine eighty diamonds pre flop, because then I can
correctly maneuver post flop. Then I get into this situation where then I'm confused
and I don't know what to do. But it was mostly because of the
way that the guy acted. You know, if I had just moved my
money in and he hadn't acted yet and it ends up just being the same
scenario, then I'm like, all right, whatever, I ran into it,
but the way that he acted made me think that, like maybe I
could somehow get away from it. But then I was like, I don't
know, I'll just go I'm just gonna go for it. The hell with
it. But whatever. So yeah, but you said, you know,
fold free, fold free, that's what you gotta do. Fould free.
But what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Man?
Maybe I'll try tomorrow, maybe I won't, depends how things go. Um,
I mean, we'll see how it goes. Overall. Speaking of tomorrow,
it looks like we had down to six in the five k we lost
Sean's nemesis. Well look at that. Sean came over gone seventh and jinxed
his ass. That's that's what's the goal. I think put the spell on
him. Yeah, and just said, all right, you're you're only gonna
finish six? What finished places? Even six? Seven? He finished seven?
Seven? Yeah, so I think like two hundred points. I mean,
he has enough to move into first place. I'm assuming seventh place paid
a good amount of money, so you know, I'm assuming we'll see Ian
Matacas blasting and plenty of stuff going forward. You got three hundred and seventy
one poy points seven. Yeah, I mean that's a really good score.
So that's like as much as he wants bracelet for, you know, So
yeah it is. We also have the fifty thousand dollars potlument Omaha high Roller.
There are one hundred and sixty eight entries. Alex Foxon is leading that
one hundred and sixty eight entries. I just want to remind everyone is more
than one hundred and sixty one. So I get a coffee bank bank.
Um, looks like there's eighty eight entries remaining, but that's going to change
before I start to play tomorrow, because they do have the Day two late
Redge, So I don't know. Sean deeb seemed to think that there's going
to be about thirty seems like a good number. Probably who the heck knows,
to be honest, did phill Ivy play? He's probably one of them.
A lot of these guys who busted out today might sleep it off,
come back tomorrow, you know, get on the text message, grind and
fire another bullet and that sort of stuff. Um, you know, Jason
Khon busted today, Isaac Haxton busted kind of towards the end of the day.
Um, the Lee brothers, Alan and Tommy both busted. Stephen Chitwick
busted. You know. Those are all people that I'm assuming we'll get back
in there. Yeah, Daniel LAHI I would assume would get back in there.
Josh Rya, I would assume would get back in there. I could
see someone like a Dylan Smith getting back in there, Chino Riem getting back
in there, Kukuan Law I could see getting back in there. Who was
supposed to fly home because he's wife's having a baby. But I guess yeah,
he was gonna skip the fifty k. Maybe they pushed it back.
Yeah, um did Sam Sobrell bag chips? It looks like Eric Lingern bag
the least. Sam so Roll looks like he bagged a good amount of chips.
So that's good for our fantasy team. Sean deep of course bagging the
more than one million. And then speaking of fantasy, we gotta talk about
it. It's it's getting it's getting to the home stretch. We're rounding this
final weekend before we get into the WISP main event. There are, of
course a ton of post slimbs we'll call them, that are going to be
going on, you know, surrounding the main event, during the main event,
all that sort of stuff. But as of right now, this moment
in time, I go to twenty five K Fantasy dot Com Team DPMC is
number one on the leaderboard, eight hundred ninety four points. Let's fin go,
boys, let's get it done. Come on. I'm excited, but
I'm also like, I'm like so scared. I'm like, I'm so scared,
it's not even funny. I got Matt Clark, my captain, my
co captain, is in this group chat talking shit to the No Gamble No
Future team. Yeah, he shouldn't be doing it. I'm like, dude,
what are you doing? He literally you want to know what he did?
I yelled at him in the chat, I said, what are you
doing? And Jeff Platt's like this, this seems like the perfect time when
we're going to go on a run. Who they have Jeremy Osmons says,
their captain on their team, and he bagged a craptonlo as well. So
then Matt puts the He takes a screenshot of when Ryo showed his aces premature,
like before he made the call and then got his aces cracked. He
put that in the chat. He put it in the chat like he did
it, basically saying, not only is he like talking shit and celebrating,
he's then highlighting the fact that it is exactly what he's doing. Oh,
Matt, chill the f out. Okay, we are you need a deleting
from the group. We are all the group? Okay, listen, we
are only one point ahead of Team Lady Gaga, that is Wren Lynn's team.
Who I think. I think Alex Livingston has a piece of it as
well. Alex Livingston's on the team. So so as Ren Lynn, they
draft, They basically drafted their whole group of people and they're all doing extremely
well. But today, here's what happened today. So I think we came
into the day, were we in first by one point? And then Ren
Lynn got Yeah, we were in first by one point, and then Ren
Lynn got twenty seventh in the five K six max. First of all,
he want an insane hand to even make it to that point. He got
it all in with threes against sevens and queens and hit a three. He
flepped the full house. It was three four four, so he wins at
hand to triple up, which allows him to then go on and finish in
twenty seventh place. Twenty seventh place exactly was the worth of field bonus in
that tournament. So that gives Ren you know whatever, ten twelve points something
like that to overtake us, and you know, put a small margin between
our two teams. But then we get this great news stat correction city They
finally fixed the ONLINEBSOP bracelet events. They fixed the field bonuses for them.
So then we move in front. Because we had like four or five things
that were wrong that we thought were wrong so we got those points we got.
We got additional points for Shaun die when he took second place in his
I think we got three extra points there. I think we got like eight
extra points for a John Reardon field bonus. We might have got seven extra
points for an Ian ste Steimon field bonus. But we're feeling good. So
now we're in front by one point. So that's where we are right now.
We're feeling great. I'm ready to go. I'm just I'm happy that
the stack corrections are there. I'm happy that. Yeah, and it was
stack corrections for everyone. It wasn't just us, but we did benefit the
most because we happened to be the team that had the most corrections that were
needed. But there is still a very long way to go. Team Fleischmann
is in third place, doing very well, anchored very heavily by Chance Coroneth,
who's having it absolutely out of control of summer. Thank god events at
the windown't count because Chance went over there and won the Mystery Boundary or whatever
the heck that was too. I mean, he's just absolutely lighting things on
fire. Team Baker doing very well, also, Team Zamani, Team Maria's
Homies Maria won it last year, and then Team Deeves in seventh. I
guess I'll just go through the top ten team to Grown You, then Team
AJ which is a J. Kelsall's team, and then Team Hello Friscos.
That's the top ten. Still very much anyone's game as far as I'm concerned,
the main event's going to be worth a lot. The field bonus is
probably going to be the top I would say at least ninety spots in the
main event, if not the top ninety nine or one hundred and eight,
depending on how many play how many entries the dem event gets. If the
event gets eight thousand two just under nine thousand entries, then it'll be the
top ninety spots. If it gets nine thousand to just under ten thousand,
then it will be the top ninety nine. If it gets ten thousand to
just under eleven thousand, it'll be the top one hundred and eight. And
it's gonna be worth one hundred points or you know, just about. So
that's just gonna be massive. So you know, you heard Shaun deeb earlier
talk about how he necessarily doesn't think he's the best in the Vasu Made event,
but hey, we get a lot of good guys that I think can
run very deep in the VASP made event, and there's a lot of stuff
going on elsewhere that we can get a lot of points from. Hopefully we
get some good runs out of Seawan deeb Sam's over roll in this fifty k
pot limit ol Maha high Roller, that would be awesome. I just want
to stay neck and neck with ren lns team, That's all I want to
do, and kind of distance ourselves from anyone everyone else, and then whatever
happens between our team and team Lady Gaga happens. You just want a podium
basically. No, I just I just I want as few sweats as possible,
right I don't and I don't believe that we should be overly greeted.
We're in a great position right now. I'm grateful for the start that we've
had, but I don't want to be like I want to be three hundred
points ahead of everyone. Like. No, I'll just stay neck and neck
with ren Lyn's team, which is what we've been doing so far. Yes,
that's what we want. Put some distance between everyone else, and then
that two horse race come around the last turn, and then damn jam the
final sprint, whatever happens, happens. I'll take myself against Ren Lynn and
a sprint any day of the week, even with half a knee. I'm
good to go. I reckon ren Land sneaky fast. I bet he's quick.
I don't know about fast. What's the difference. Quick is like quick,
but fast is like top speed. I think ren might beat you,
Like if we had to do like a cone drill or like he would have
crushed run or something like that, he might beat me. He would.
But if we're running like one hundred yard dash, just straight line, nothing
in the way to make fifteen of those yards before you are hamstring pops on
us. Yes to watch that. I mean if it meant something, I
would do it for sure. Maybe it's with fifty fantasy points. Maybe maybe
we should do it. If what happens is there a tiebreaker? Oh yeah,
yeah, we should find out there should actually be. It's funny because
we've been like our team and Renland's team are like within five points like every
day. It's like shifts like a little bit and we're like right, Like
he came into today one point ahead of us. Now we're closing the day
out one point ahead of him. So I mean this is no like tiebreaker
written. I mean they probably just chopped the money whatever. No fuck that,
um, but yeah I don't. I got my co captain out here
running around like we won the damn thing already. I'm like ready to kill.
Is he here? Yeah, he's here. He got here today because
he brought money from me. Well he beat up. Get on the pod
and you two can battle it out, be beef it out. If I
want to hear any more of this, Non need to be the judicator.
You just need to talent to calm down. How do you feel you you
have a piece of the team. How do you feel? Well, full
disclosure, I have a piece of both y'all team and No Gamble in the
Future. I am yeah, so that you're a good person to gauge.
No Gamble in the Future is sixteenth out of twentieth. They have four hundred
and twenty eight points. We have eight hundred ninety four. Okay, how
do you how do you feel? I mean, do you feel like do
you feel like Team No Gamble in the Future has a shot? I mean
yes, everyone has a shot. Yeah, because you can just go on,
we can rip off like this brat events. I know. That's what
I'm saying. That's why I'm not confident. You just need to be in
our guys. What if our guys go cold and like, you know,
four people just rip off of these bracelets exactly. I mean it's like insane
and a couple of field bonuses in the main event and it's over. So
yeah, it's it's still we're in a great position, well the DPMC team
great position, but it's far from oba uh. And you'll be sweating this
out until July seventeenth, that's simple. Yeah, I'm sweating it all the
way to the end July eighteenth, just because there's like that last turbo.
Okay, I'm just saying over man, I mean, come on, like
we gotta the thing, the thing that gives me what is that loss event?
Actually, if I were, it's like a isn't it like a turbo,
like a super turbo, like a one day there's a one K turbo
on the eighteenth, you're right, yeah, and then on the seventeenth actually
even when the final table was going on, there's the three K horses,
the one K freeze out, the ten K short deck, the five K
no limit there's still a lot of stuff. Yeah, it just doesn't end.
Yeah. I mean, I'm like, in no way, shape or
form. Do I feel like we're like anywhere locked into anything here? I
really, you know, I want us to like be able to rip something
off in these next couple of days. I want us to be able to
rip off something pretty meaningful before four the main event starts, if that's possible,
you know, like Dave Winning, I would say, I would say
before before like day two of the main event starts, or day one,
d if you have the Damn Jan Special coming out of the Palo High Low
Championship, Okay, well let's go Damn Jan day two. That's the biggest
question. And I hope, so, I hope so. I mean,
listen, what I was gonna say is the thing that gives me the most
confidence is looking when I listened to Sean Deeb and just how hard he is
gonna go, you know, because we made our biggest bet there with Seawan
Deeb for one hundred and twelve dollars or wherever the heck we bought him for
of the two hundred dollars that we had to go into the auction. I
mean I'm just like him, just non stop going nuts. I also kind
of like the whole Gordo going home and then coming back refreshed thing in a
weird way, like if it's better than him sticking around here and being written
miserable, Look, that's definitely come back. He's fresh for the twenty five
k horse some one else? What what? What other mixed games? Like
do we think that Gordo would play? I mean, he would probably play
Yeah, I'll probably play that twenty five k horse of course. Well then
is the three k horse horse? Yeah? I think you have to play
those. You're like, you have to play those of you on the ten
k horse, It's just like a rule. Um, there's also the OA,
So he would definitely be in that, okay, and then you know,
maybe he dabbles in the ten k short deck or the fifteen short deck.
Now I'm not really show on those ones. Yeah, I mean,
and he did get some points for us online, so you know, yeah,
maybe he fires some online while he's doing some of this other stuff.
So yeah, so listen, I feel good, not great, happy and
grateful from where we where we are right now, but super a long way
to go, and it's extremely nervous to be in this positions, A long
way to go, all right, that's gonna do it for us. My
name is Donnie Peters, his name is Tim Duckworth. And we'll talk to
you guys next time. Peace right tonight, jennyting spread
