1 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,080 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go 2 00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,800 Podcast, the final episode from the Horseshoe Down on the Las Vegas Strip for 3 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:30,519 twenty twenty four. That is because the World Series of Poker is done and 4 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,320 dusted. July seventeenth, coming to a close, day fifty one of being 5 00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,079 inside these walls. It was an incredible summer and it is capped off by 6 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:49,640 Jonathan Tomyo winning the record setting WSP main event. He was the last player 7 00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:56,200 standing from a record breaking field of ten thousand, one hundred and twelve entries. 8 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:03,159 Tomyo takes home a mammoth payday of ten million dollars, defeating Jordan griff 9 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,719 in second place. Tim and I are going to talk all about it, 10 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,239 or maybe Tim won't talk because the guy's dead. Last day, he's had 11 00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:18,000 enough. Here's the thing. If you guys know about the Bible, Samson 12 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,359 from the Bible, No, you don't know about Samson from the Bible. 13 00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:23,280 But he cut his hair. He was like the super strong guy and then 14 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,159 he cut his hair and he lost all his powers. You cut your mustache 15 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,560 off and now you are dying. I've lost all your powers. You're dying. 16 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200 You're gonna be sick for a week, like, that's what happens. 17 00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:38,239 It's your own fault. Now. I felt bad about Tim until he just 18 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,400 told me right before we hit the record button that he was out till like 19 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,000 four am last night, partying and playing poker and doing all this sort of 20 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,640 stuff. So I don't know what his idea was doing that dumbest thing I've 21 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,599 ever heard. He's got all he's ad the next two months to do any 22 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,920 of that, and he decided to do it before the biggest day of the 23 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,840 year. Pottying is a strong word. I was not pottying well, but 24 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:00,959 I played some CODs, then I had some food. I'll tell you what, 25 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,519 you know, he's gonna be partying. Jonathan Freaking Tomayo is gonna be 26 00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:09,520 partying. He's probably up in that suite. Wow, looks the fountains. 27 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:15,240 Yeah, the sweets here are pretty nice. They're not as big as the 28 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,199 ones the villas over at the Rio were, but they're still super nice. 29 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,840 I liked that they're high up. They got a nice like, you know, 30 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,560 a nice view balcony, all that sort of stuff. I went up 31 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,240 there last year. That's where I did the Dan WindMan interview after he won. 32 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,159 We're gonna talk about Jonathan Tomorow winning the main event. Of course, 33 00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,840 as always, please like and subscribe to the podcast. It's been a great 34 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:39,199 summer of podcasts, other than the fact that I had to miss a week 35 00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:45,520 and Tim you know, rallied loss on a list of nonsense.

Jonathan Freaking Tomayo wins again record breaking twenty twenty four WSOP Main 78 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,920 event. Just quickly on Tomayo thirty eight years old, out of Humble, 79 00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:00,199 Texas Cornell University grad. He majored in hotel management. He might be to 80 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,439 buy a hotel now with that ten million dollars that he won. He is 81 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,839 a pro poker player. He got twenty first in the two thousand and nine 82 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:12,120 WSP Main Event for three hundred and fifty two thousand dollars. His first main 83 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,040 event was just a year before that, two thousand and eight, So second 84 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,040 year he makes a deep run to the final three tables. Pretty impressive there. 85 00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:25,160 He has played every single main event since then since two thousand and eight 86 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,439 except for the twenty twenty COVID year, but every other one he's played. 87 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,680 He began playing poker in high school. This is his first gold bracelet. 88 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,879 You know, many players chase a gold bracelet for their entire careers. Tomaio 89 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,639 gets his first by winning the biggest event in poker, the WSP Main Event. 90 00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:47,480 He does have four WSP circuit rings. He forged his game in the 91 00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:51,720 online poker streets, specializing in tournaments. He also played quite a bit at 92 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,399 Turning Stone up in New York while attending college. Nowadays, you know, 93 00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:00,959 we don't see tomaiw All that much outside of the WSP. He lives in 94 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,519 Texas. He kind of plays around that region down there, but he does 95 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,120 travel for the World Ties of Poker every summer, and we do see plenty 96 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:12,560 of him out here in Las Vegas outside of poker. Frequent DFS player, 97 00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:16,319 I know he's had a lot of success there, including winning the DraftKings Fantasy 98 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,720 Hockey Championship back in twenty nineteen. He also enjoys golf, which I'm sure 99 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,839 we're going to see him on the golf course plenty. Now that he got 100 00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:28,279 his retirement money, he can go do whatever he wants. Doesn't he really 101 00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:32,439 need to play poker anymore? So Tomayo tops the record setting field. He 102 00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:38,680 came into the final table yesterday kind of on the shorter side, you know, 103 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,000 kind of ran it up a little bit early, enters the second day 104 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,600 in good chip position. He ultimately finds his way to the winner circle. 105 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,240 It was a very very long heads up match, I think sixty five hands, 106 00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:54,480 I believe, between him and Jordan Griff. And before we get into 107 00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,600 a little bit more, let's just kick it right to the Jeff interview with 108 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,040 Jonathan Tomio to get kind of those initial thoughts from the New World champion, 109 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:11,399 Jonathan Tomayo World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, How does that sound to 110 00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:24,680 you? Well, I didn't make Day eleven. You always, we always 111 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,360 take our shot here, but it's just a numbers game. We never ever 112 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:35,120 ever think this is reality. And I'm just like soaking it in right now. 113 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:45,039 This perspective is kind of nice, actually. I mean it's everybody plays 114 00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:50,919 this tournament, everybody who's great at poker plays this tournament, and I somehow 115 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,000 want it and I still can't believe it. You've been on the grind for 116 00:08:54,039 --> 00:09:01,399 a long time. What does this World Championship bracelet mean to you all? 117 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,639 It's a lot of things in your mind. See grind, grind, grind, 118 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:11,480 grind, grind. You know, we play a lot of us start 119 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,919 playing it for the money, and then when we get good, we can 120 00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:20,080 start playing for the prestige. And then this is both He's best friends with 121 00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:26,480 Joe McKeon. You probably saw Joe on the rail and Joe actually presented him 122 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:28,399 with the bracelet. Yeah, that was very very cool. You know, 123 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,480 I thought it was great just watching it play out. The winning hand happens, 124 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,799 Jack Effel, VP of the WSP goes over to McKean, and it 125 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,799 says, hey, you know you want to come around and kind of do 126 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,519 this little ceremony. Joe did comes around, and Joe gave a really good 127 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,960 speech as well, which was which was awesome. You know, just talked 128 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,480 about, you know, what it meant to him and what the friendship with 129 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,240 Jonathan Tomorow means to him. So let's just play that interview for you now, 130 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,200 because they did hand the mike to McKeon and he did have some words 131 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,240 to say before handing over that World Championship bracelet. Yeah, this guy, 132 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:09,480 this guy has been on the grind for you know, twenty years now. 133 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,679 He's always been there for me. I'd like to be there for him as 134 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,120 well. A great friend, a great guy, and now he's going to 135 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,919 share a banner with me up there with all the other main event winners. 136 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,519 And let me tell you this was incredible being able to watch it from the 137 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,159 other side too. He was there for me when I won, and I'm 138 00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:30,240 going to be there for him when he wins. And I'm very happy to 139 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:39,279 present him with this twenty twenty four World Series of Poker Main Event champion bracelet. 140 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,840 All right, So, as I said, Tomayo came in to the 141 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:58,440 final table kind of on the lower side of things. He was seven out 142 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,200 of nine with nine players remaining. Of course, we all know about the 143 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,759 fold that he made with Pockey Queens with ten players left. So after he 144 00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,600 comes in seven out of nine, he then makes it to the second day 145 00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:16,039 of the final table two out of three sandwich between Nicholas Ostett, Akaleena nine 146 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,559 hundred, who was the chip leader, and Jordan Griff who was right behind 147 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:24,000 him, but everyone was pretty close overall. How did you think, entering 148 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,879 today like it was going to go, Like, knowing how the stacks were 149 00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,919 distributed, but also knowing that Ostet was up on top. I thought it 150 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,399 was going to be a grind. I thought these guys, you know, 151 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,480 for Nicholas and Jonathan being the professionals, were going to you know, take 152 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:43,320 their spots and try and chip away at Griff, and we kind of saw, 153 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,360 I would say, maybe the direct opposite to that, with such a 154 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,320 massive clash early, so I was expecting a long grind, small pots, 155 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,799 small ball, but it feels like straight out of the gate, we didn't 156 00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,840 get that, no, and we got it between Ostet and Griff. So 157 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,600 it was interesting because Tomayo. You know, he had that kind of conservative 158 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,240 approach, most notably when he folded the queens right and he talked about like 159 00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,919 the lattering up and all that sort of stuff. Here, he's like just 160 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,240 kind of sitting on the sidelines watching Ostedt and Griff just like go blow for 161 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,679 blow with each other, which I thought was surprising from Griff's standpoint initially, 162 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,480 but then I guess the more I thought about it, I was like, 163 00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:28,720 you know, what, good for him osted I definitely thought, would you 164 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:33,200 know, want to lean on his experience. He's played a bazillion tournaments online, 165 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:39,120 widely regarded as the best online tournament player ever, an extremely good capable 166 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,039 player, highly skillful, also had the most chips when this three handed battle 167 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:46,080 started. So I just thought that he would try and play a lot of 168 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,879 pots with his opponents, play small ball and not really go too crazy. 169 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:56,279 But Griff fought against that by just going at him in a lot of ways. 170 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,399 So they exchanged a lot of blows back and forth, and then like 171 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,600 out of nowhere, they get all the money in in this wild hand, 172 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:09,480 and next thing you know, Nicholas Ostt is out, and it was just 173 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:15,000 crazy. The hand was. It was pretty early in the second part of 174 00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:18,960 the final table, maybe, like I don't know, a half hour in 175 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,159 or so. Ostet raises on the button two big lindes. Griff makes it 176 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,399 seven big lines from the small blind. Ostet had king jack off, Griff 177 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,519 had pocket nines. Ostet makes the call in position. You know, this 178 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,159 is totally standard by now comes ten nine three with two diamonds, ten of 179 00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,240 clubs, nine of diamonds, three of diamonds. Griff comes with a little 180 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:43,120 bit less than half pot. Ostett calls. Don't expect him to fold the 181 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,559 two overs. He's got that straight draw as well. He can also possibly 182 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,399 play position, you know, should things play out a certain way. After 183 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,840 the flop the turn comes the jack of clubs. Now it's there was two 184 00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:58,159 diamonds on the flop. Now there's two diamonds with the club on the sorry, 185 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,120 two clubs with the club on the turn, and Griff just rips it 186 00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:07,919 in fairly quickly. It was an overbet. I think he jammed one fifty 187 00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:11,200 nine into one twenty, so like one thirty one thirty five percent pot something 188 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:18,559 like that. And Ostet goes into the tank for a long time and Griff 189 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:26,559 these two were very very very close and chips. So if Ostet ended up 190 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,320 making the call, he was going to be eliminated from the tournament. He 191 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,559 tanks for I don't know, a couple of minutes, maybe two minutes, 192 00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:37,240 something like that, three minutes, I don't know exactly the time he ultimately 193 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:43,240 makes the call. Griff tables a set of nines that he flopped, and 194 00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:48,080 Ostet's got the turned top pair with the jack, also the gutter with that 195 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,080 king to a queen, the Swedish raal, the friends and family of Ostet, 196 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,960 they start chanting like crazy, they're looking for a queen on the river, 197 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:58,360 but it is not. It is a king, and like an absolute 198 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:03,480 shocker, somewhat deflating for like a lot of people in the room, a 199 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,240 lot of the viewers, a lot of people on social media who were really 200 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,159 just like, the goat's gonna do it. He's gonna win the main event, 201 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,360 no out and fourth or sorry, out and third for four million dollars. 202 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,399 Is Nicholas austed? And that was just that was just crazy. So 203 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,000 let's just let's just throw it now to the interview with Jeff that Nicholas Ousta 204 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,440 did on his way out, because I know so much can go through your 205 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,240 mind in a complex spot like that. Can you give us just the very 206 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:35,759 basic bullet points that weigh into your thought process there on the turn? Yeah, 207 00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:39,440 it's a tough one. I didn't think he necessarily would have like an 208 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,519 overpay there. He should be trapping most of his good hands on the turn. 209 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,679 I don't know, man, that was that was a tough one. 210 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,879 He's a bit of a vild one. So and also, you know, 211 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,159 like pretty top heavy structure. So yeah, not sure still if I like 212 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,840 it, But I mean it's a tough one, tough fun. Yeah, 213 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,360 you mentioned the atmosphere. It's kind of like playing in a football game. 214 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,679 When you look back on this run, what will you remember the most? 215 00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:10,480 Yeah, that's probably that everyone flew in supported the rate yesterday was amazing, 216 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,480 like being all in and having all your friends behind a mason. Yeah, 217 00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:19,559 this this is gonna sting for a while, but I'm happy about how I 218 00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:25,919 played in general. And yeah that's it. What'd you think, buddy? 219 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,720 I was sad, to be honest, I really wanted Nicholas to win. 220 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,039 We're not supposed to have no but you can't. You can have story interest 221 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,720 then fine, Well, there's a sort there was a story for all three 222 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,360 there is, I just preferred the Nicholas story. Yeah, I get you. 223 00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:45,639 Yeah, so I aside from that, I thought, like I mentioned 224 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:49,360 just previously, I thought we're gonna have a grueling three handred battle and we're 225 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,399 kind of denied of that. So that was kind of more of the unfortunate 226 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,759 neutral side of things to me. It never works out like you think. 227 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,879 I thought it would be kind of grueling, but I also thought it would 228 00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:07,200 just result in basically Nicholas asked that like slowly chipping away at his opponents, 229 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:11,680 but of course it didn't result like that. Would you think of the hand 230 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,640 what would you have done? Felt the King Jack, the beautiful the three 231 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,000 bed for sure, I don't think so. But the turn Look, I 232 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,559 ain't no Leana nine hundred, so my credibility on this hand ANALYSI is pretty 233 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:33,000 bad. But I feel like the turn play he's gonna review. I don't 234 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,160 think anything else is really out of line. I mean, that was a 235 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,200 massive shot in a spot where Nicholas has to know he's better than he probably 236 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,799 thinks he's better than both players, not just Griff. So is that a 237 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:47,799 spot he wants to take with you know, a pair and a gut shut 238 00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:51,680 does is he really putting Griff on air or worse holdings. I don't know. 239 00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:55,680 It's just a big it's a big high variant spot there for Nicholas. 240 00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:59,799 I mean I definitely thought about that. What I'll say is that on this 241 00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:03,480 and specifically, you know, it's an overbet. On the turn, the 242 00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:07,759 way that it played out, you know, it feels like Griff probably has 243 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,839 two pairs, probably some sets in there. Of course, you know, 244 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,039 even like he could even have a set of threes because the way that he 245 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,000 was playing small pocket pairs, like he had already three bed deuces earlier in 246 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:19,880 the final on this day, so like he could have threes, you know, 247 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,319 and then you just come with that over bet for max value, you 248 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,839 know, just charge all the draws that are out there, et cetera. 249 00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:32,279 Really make your opponent make like an uncomfortable call with with a one pair hand 250 00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:34,240 like like us that had so yeah, like you know, the pairs of 251 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,839 the sets, et cetera. But then like he can probably have some draws 252 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,720 too. I think the ones that stick out to me the most are Ace 253 00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:48,839 King of Diamonds or clubs and then he's Queen of diamonds or clubs. Yeah. 254 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,759 Also maybe some queen jack Queen ten in there. Two just because you 255 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:56,359 know, you flop a pair with the Queen ten, you turn a straight 256 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,880 draw, you flop open ended with the Queen jack, you turn top pair, 257 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960 the turn plus your open ended, so stuff like that. But listen, 258 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,720 it's first of all, it's always hard. I feel like it's hard 259 00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:12,680 to comment when you see the cars because like it just naturally kind of messes 260 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,759 with your thought process. I feel like now I think I would have folded, 261 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,960 but I also can't say for sure. You know, one, I'm 262 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,000 not in that spot playing with Griff, having played with him for many many 263 00:19:27,079 --> 00:19:32,079 days in this event, the biggest event in the world. I'm also in 264 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,599 no way like you said, Tim, I'm no way Leana nine hundred, 265 00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:38,480 not in a million years, you know. And I think what Lena said 266 00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:42,559 in his bust Out interview, you know, sometimes it just comes down to 267 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,880 a guess, like you have to make a decision one way or the other, 268 00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:51,759 and sometimes you're right and sometimes you're wrong. And in this case, 269 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,720 Ustat was wrong, and he was wrong to the extent that it cost him 270 00:19:55,759 --> 00:20:00,759 his tournament life. He really is an extraordinary player. Certainly he would have 271 00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:04,000 had his reasons for doing what he did. And you know, it happens. 272 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,079 It happened with Kristen Foxen, and you know everyone talked about it. 273 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,480 It happened with Brian Kim on the first day of the final table, everyone 274 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,839 talked about that, And now it happened with Nicholas Ostet. You know, 275 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,720 sometimes you get got and that's poker. Sometimes you get got by just your 276 00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:22,400 opponent having a better hand. Sometimes you get got by the fact that you 277 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,680 make a bad decision. Sometimes you're like kind of walking that thin line between 278 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,000 one decision or the other and you just happen to pick wrong and that's just 279 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,319 how it is. And then just quickly I guess on the point because you 280 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,599 brought it up about the edge, like I in a way kind of think 281 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:48,079 that that's a almost incorrect default, Meaning, yeah, Nicholas had an edge. 282 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,839 I think we would all agree he had an edge. He also had 283 00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:52,200 the chip lead coming into the day, but at this time, you know, 284 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,279 Griff had chipped up just more than him. And like I said, 285 00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:03,240 Osted is an absolutely incredible, tremendous player. But everyone was constantly referring to 286 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,160 griff as you know, the amateur or the recreational, which he also referred 287 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,160 to it. He mentioned that on the interview we did him on the previous 288 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,359 episode. And while that can be true, and he doesn't have the experience 289 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,440 that Nicholas has, it's not like he was just out there blasting away like 290 00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:22,880 some total fish. Like he clearly was playing very very well in that arena 291 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:29,160 that he was battling with two experienced pros Jonathan Tomayo and Nicholas Ostet, Like 292 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:36,240 he played very well. So I would say that the while I still think 293 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,720 Ostet had an edge, I don't think the edge was as big as everyone 294 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:44,160 else seems to just imply. They say, oh, recreational, Oh, 295 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,079 best online tournament player ever, Oh online tournament player has massive infinite edge, 296 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,000 when it was probably much smaller than infinite. Of course. Yeah, and 297 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:57,200 in that case, you can you can take a thinner edge, like it 298 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,799 becomes more acceptable to take a thin edge in a spot like that. And 299 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,160 like I said, you know, I think Ostet probably had his reasons, 300 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,880 of course, yes, and ultimately guessed like he said, and he guessed 301 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:17,279 wrong. So so what are you gonna do? Heads up? Play. 302 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,759 Griff has a big lead because he did bust Ostet. He's got about a 303 00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:23,119 two and a half to one lead. But right in the first few hands, 304 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,400 Jonathan to Miles, Storm's back and he takes the lead and he ends 305 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,039 up working Grift down to under two hundred million. There were six hundred million 306 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,920 chips in play, I think six hundred and six million chips in play. 307 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,880 But then Griff doubles back. They get it all in on Queen six y 308 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,359 five jack. Griff's got Jack six for two pair, Tomiles got Ace Jack. 309 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,640 It was funny on this hand because to Miles Rail was yelling for or 310 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,119 sorry Griff's Rail I think said no Ace, not also knowing that a queen 311 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,759 could counter his two pair like that was. So that was just funny. 312 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:56,720 So like if it came a queen, they might have thought that they won, 313 00:22:56,319 --> 00:23:00,400 and then to Miles Rail would have celebrated. Of course, So he 314 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,920 doubles back into the lead, does Griff On that hand, he works Tomaile 315 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,519 under two hundred million. Then Tomile doubles back into the lead. He four 316 00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:11,680 bet jams with King ten off. Griff calls it off with two sevens. 317 00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:15,279 Tomaio just flops the straight. Not only does he flop a straight with King 318 00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:17,759 ten, it comes Queen Jack nine all hearts. He has the King hearts 319 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,960 so like it's just you know, extra brutal. He holds from there. 320 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,359 Of course he was, you know, Griff was dead on the turn. 321 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,240 And then he starts extending his lead. Tomio does. He pushes Griff below 322 00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:30,880 two hundred million. Griff fights back, then he doubles up. He gets 323 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,440 it all in. And this was like a theme for Griff small pocket pairs. 324 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,960 He always like what would win? Yeah, this time he gets it 325 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,960 all in with sixes versus the ace eight off he flops the set of sixes. 326 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,000 This guy has flopped like infinite sets with like sixes and lower. He 327 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:51,039 flops a set of sixes, holds from there and doubles up. And then 328 00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,960 Tomile's the shortest that he's been heads up. I believe think he was down 329 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:57,359 to around like one hundred and thirty one hundred and thirty five million, which 330 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,839 during heads up play was the shortest that he was if I remember correctly. 331 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,200 But then he doubles back. He had eight seven on seven, four to 332 00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,119 three. He gets it all in. Griff's got five to four for second 333 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,079 pair on the gutter. Tomio holds, but he's still trailing. They're close, 334 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,880 but he's still trailing. Then Tomio slowly works his way back into the 335 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,559 lead, gets up over four hundred million, again six hundred million in play, 336 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:25,279 and then finally at the two and a half million, five million level 337 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,599 on the sixty fifth hand of heads up play, Tomayo wins it all. 338 00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:33,279 He makes it two point five big blinds on the button. Griff calls Tomayo 339 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,799 has eight three off and Griff has nine six off. It comes nine to 340 00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:42,640 eight three with two diamonds. Griff checks. Tomaiyo comes with the continuation bet 341 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,559 one third pot. Griff makes it four x his bet. I believe he 342 00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:51,119 bet ten million into thirty. Griff makes it forty million. Tomayo jams, 343 00:24:51,319 --> 00:24:53,400 Griff calls it off. He's got top pair with nine to six. Tomaio, 344 00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:57,119 of course has the bottom two pair turns an ace. So now Griff 345 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,599 needs a six an ace or he needs a nine on the river. But 346 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,039 the river is a five and Tomayo wins it all. So let's just throw 347 00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:11,160 it right to the scrum interview that we did. Hopefully you can hear the 348 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,559 Scrum interview. There's a bunch of questions in there, a bunch of media 349 00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:18,240 surrounding Jonathan Tomyo. Here's that interview for you. Now, said one, 350 00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:22,160 you know you have one chance. Maybe you thought you already had that chance 351 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,119 and maybe this was the second chance. Did you feel like like that was 352 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,799 sort of the case. Yeah, And I can't believe how lucky I was 353 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:33,359 to get that chance. There's only so many main events you could run in 354 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,920 a lifetime, so if you get one deep run, chances are that's the 355 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,680 one deep run. And somehow I can't believe, I say able to get 356 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,319 to a second chance and actually close it. Go ahead, guess John Donald, 357 00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:48,200 when the main eventyone, the largest main event ever intern of field size, 358 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,599 I can talk about that specific accomplishment of what that means to you. 359 00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:57,000 Joey Keynan told me that this tournament's impossible to win, and then when the 360 00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:00,440 field times is bigger, you feel like it's even more impossible it'll win. 361 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:06,640 But I mean, you just sit down day one, You're just like, 362 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,880 Okay, eventually I'm going to bust this tournament. It's not going to be 363 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,319 pretty. I'm not going to feel great, and I'm going to go on 364 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,720 for your life and you kind of mentally prepare yourself for it. And I 365 00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:22,240 just can't believe I did not bust the main event coming into three handed play. 366 00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:26,640 Obviously all three of you are pretty even and fairly deep, but it 367 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,480 seemed like from the first hand everything was kind of like there are a lot 368 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,039 of chips flying around. Was that sort of your expectation? Is that something 369 00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:36,720 that you planned for? And can you tell me through a little bit about 370 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,880 the sort of the swings that happened during three hund a play? That was 371 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,559 one of the scenarios. I was discussed overnight what could happen, and we 372 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,559 had a game plan for that if if that ended up happening, if if 373 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:56,240 Leela and I wanted to go to war. It was kind of sit back, 374 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,680 watch it happen, and then went your head's up, deal with the 375 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,240 problem. Then they my parents actually were supposed to be here. They scheduled 376 00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:08,880 this trip around February or March, not knowing anything is going to happen. 377 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,200 And you know they they run, they run, they run a business while 378 00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:18,039 retired. So then I final table tomain that they canceled all their business meetings. 379 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,440 So it just by chance, they're here. They're always going to be 380 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:30,319 here even if I didn't win the main But somehow those two things collided perfectly. 381 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,200 Every boker player dreams of winning the main event for their whole career. 382 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,200 How does reality compare to the dream? Uh, both of them are still 383 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:45,160 not real. Standing here does not feel like real life in that one of 384 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,839 my and also that one of my good friends also won the main. So 385 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,279 now we have a circle of our friends that have two main event winners, 386 00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:56,720 which you would never ever ever think. Whatever happened, and now we get 387 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,839 and it's kind of good. It's gonna be kind of fun that we can 388 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,319 making fun of all of our friends at the same time. Speaking of what 389 00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:08,920 do you say to the haters about the Queen's now holding the Queen's Four queens 390 00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:15,119 play eight to three off? One more question, guys, how much had 391 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,480 Jo been around and you going through that help you at all during this run? 392 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:26,400 Joe and Tom actually helped. If they weren't here, I'd likely do 393 00:28:26,519 --> 00:28:30,759 not win this tournament. I might be out eight, I might be out 394 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:33,880 seven. I might win this tournament, but a whole other bunch of good 395 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,319 things would actually have to happen for that to happen the way it went, 396 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,599 it wasn't gonna like it wasn't gonna happen like that. So that was Jonathan 397 00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:51,319 Tomayo beaming from year to year understandably. So Griff took home six million dollars 398 00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:55,839 for his second place finish. The quote unquote amateur, the quote unquote recreational 399 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,480 at the table who battled with eight professional poker players comes out on top. 400 00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:03,759 Six million dollars for him, I'm curious to see if he quits his job, 401 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,319 his nine to five job, and becomes a poker player who knows that's 402 00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:11,839 left to be seen, and then tomorrow the world champion ten million dollars. 403 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:17,319 Longtime grinder, like the culmination of just the grind, grind, grind, 404 00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:19,799 grind, grind, finally does it kind of in a way similar to a 405 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,599 Dan Weinman last year. Yep, you know, just just always around, 406 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,160 always grinding, like always there in the biggest events, et cetera. You 407 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,720 know, has some scores here and there, but of course nothing is like 408 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:33,519 the WSP main event. Nothing is like winning the wasp Man event. The 409 00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:37,480 money is not the same. And Jonathan Tomayo does it. He is the 410 00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:42,200 champion of the twenty twenty four WSP main event. I would love to sit 411 00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:45,960 down with Tomorow at some point do like a one on one interview. So 412 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,119 we'll see if we can set that up in the coming days or coming weeks 413 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,839 or whatever it is. I'm sure he's gonna be bombarded with the bazilion things 414 00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:56,839 right now, so we'll see if we can square that away. But yeah, 415 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:03,480 what are your what are your thoughts on Tomayow as champion. Originally I 416 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:07,400 was a little skeptical as how he would approach, you know, being you 417 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,039 know, we always tap these guys as you need to be an ambassador for 418 00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:15,400 poke a bit seeing the interviews he did, listening to him, he had 419 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:15,960 all the time. It felt like he had all the time in the world 420 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:21,200 for everyone. So that's a good starting sign that maybe he will be a 421 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,799 good ambassador for the game. But like you said, just a grinder for 422 00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:29,839 so many years is kind of very deserving to break through, to win your 423 00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:33,680 first race, to break through in the biggest event possible, So that's that's 424 00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:37,519 kind of pretty cool. Yeah, I mean it's always I know you said 425 00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:40,759 breakthrough, I mean it is a breakthrough. I mean, I know we've 426 00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:42,720 known Tomorow for a long time. He's a notable player. If we're out 427 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,559 there covering a tournament, you know, he's somebody we pick up, we 428 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,599 cover from, you know the first time we see him. Yes, but 429 00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:52,720 for sure breakout or breakthrough, I should say, you know, you do 430 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:56,799 it for so long and you're just like praying that one day you can have 431 00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:02,160 this sort of opportunity, and he got it. He took advantage of it. 432 00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:06,279 I think it's hilarious that he's just full on leaning into the Queen Queen 433 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:10,319 fold as you guys heard him say, they're fold Queen Queen play eight three 434 00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:15,039 off, Like that's his new thing. We should have the that meme where 435 00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,400 the guy's holding hands with one girl the other girl, but we need not 436 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,599 a T shirt is what we need, you know what I mean? Like 437 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:25,559 that's a version. Yeah, I mean it's just great. Right. So 438 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,960 yeah, Jonathan Tomayo up on top. I think he'll be a good champ. 439 00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:33,400 I mean I don't personally care about the whole ambassador thing one way or 440 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,720 the other. I guess just don't be a dick at the end of the 441 00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:38,160 day. And Jonathan Tomyow is in no way ever going to do that, 442 00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:42,200 which you know, all of our champions in recent years I don't think have 443 00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:45,440 So that's fine, you know, I don't I don't really expect you to 444 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,799 have to go parade around and do all the interviews under the sun. In 445 00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:52,079 a lot of ways, I think the game can just sell itself. So 446 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,880 I think the ambassador thing is kind of a little bit overblown at times. 447 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,559 But you know, of course, I expect Tomayo to be out there lasting. 448 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,480 He'll probably even take again drawing similarities to Dan Weinman, probably take kind 449 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,440 of a similar approach where maybe he's on the golf course quite a bit, 450 00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:14,720 and then we just see him next summer come out for you know, some 451 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,160 WSP events. Maybe it's even more selective next summer and he's not playing everything. 452 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,559 Who knows. When you have a score like this, when you have 453 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,880 a breakthrough victory like this, ten million dollars, I mean yeah, you 454 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,920 can kind of just chill out right. This is what you dream of doing. 455 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,119 So really really, really incredible stuff from Tomayo. And then again we'll 456 00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:36,400 see what happens with Jordan Griff Nicholas Asted, I'm guessing will be back. 457 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,839 He'll probably be fucking playing the one or nine on stars like this weekend. 458 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,920 Who the heck knows, God bless him. He's just a true grinder. 459 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,599 It's awesome. So yeah, that's the main event overall. Another great was 460 00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:54,240 Apmian event. Obviously the record setter. I have no idea what's going to 461 00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:57,599 happen next year, but I'm just gonna go ahead and say that they're probably 462 00:32:57,599 --> 00:33:00,839 gonna break the record next year ten two hundred, let's go. I mean, 463 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,160 why wouldn't they? Yes, I mean you have to kind of bet 464 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,640 on that side, So yeah, you can't. I don't think you can. 465 00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:10,480 I don't think you can be on the other side of it anymore. 466 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,519 Like the WICIP is just the biggest and best thing that we have in poker. 467 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,039 Yeah, people absolutely love it. And that's not to say that other 468 00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,880 stuff isn't great too, because it is. You saw the stuff all summer 469 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,880 around town, and like on a on an upcoming episode, I kind of 470 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,640 want to just go through, like maybe we look at everything else that happened 471 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,640 around town and maybe highlights the winners, you know, stuff that happened at 472 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,480 Aria or at Win or wherever else. You know, just pick kind of 473 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,640 the bigges stuff because there was a lot of really really big stuff that happened, 474 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,799 and a lot of really really big fields and a lot of awesome scores 475 00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:46,359 by a lot of people. So overall, poker I think is incredibly healthy 476 00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:52,799 right now. I know everyone's kind of like in a way over it, 477 00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:54,200 but like in a good way. You know, you just put so much 478 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,039 into the WICIP you know, both from the working side of things, the 479 00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:00,599 media side of things, is the player side of things, and then you 480 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,240 just want to like take a vacation afterwards, you know, or just chill 481 00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:07,440 out at home, veg out on the couch, et cetera. I think 482 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:13,800 we capped off a really good summer with this WSB main event finish. Jonathan 483 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,679 Tomaiow coming out on top. You know, you had a great story in 484 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,480 griff Running, you know, ultimately fell short, but you come second in 485 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,639 the Wspmen event. I don't think you should be in any way sad. 486 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,679 You know, maybe in the moment, of course, because you were so 487 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,719 close, But you wake up in the next couple of days you got six 488 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,079 more, six million more dollars in your bank account. That's pretty damn awesome. 489 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,119 And then you know, we probably haven't heard the last of Nicholas asted 490 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,679 at the WSFP. The guy's just an incredible player. Got a great boost 491 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,280 to his bankroll with four million dollars for him, So overall a lot of 492 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,360 fun. I loved it. I think Tim loved it, even though he's 493 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,599 half dead right now. We need it fifty Days of the World, SERI, 494 00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:54,480 he's not fifty one. Yeah, you could. You almost did it. 495 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,519 I know, almost made it. You almost made it. As for 496 00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:05,079 us, probably to have another episode in the coming days if Tim is there 497 00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:07,960 a couple of events that are still wrapping up or we're not gonna talk about 498 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,360 them. There was some big news that came out from the w s P 499 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,800 today. We'll hit on that. I know we have to hit on the 500 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,000 Hall of Fame induction as well, so we do have some things that we 501 00:35:16,039 --> 00:35:19,199 want to talk about. Of course, I want to do that episode where 502 00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:22,280 we kind of look around town and see some of the other event winners, 503 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,880 the other series that happened and wrapped up. So maybe we'll do that next 504 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:30,800 week something maybe in a two part or something like that. What Able, 505 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,840 Where are you going Australia. They don't have computers and internet and stuff in 506 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,239 Australia I'm not even gonna take my computer. Wow, that's obviously take entirely 507 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:44,440 off the grid, Jesus Lord off the Grid solo pod. I'm just gonna 508 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,320 list the best SERI. I'm gonna list the best winners in the best series 509 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,599 around town that wasn't the w CP. That's my first list. Well, 510 00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,679 the first song should be summing up the then you move on to Yeah, 511 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:59,800 we gotta like in a way where you know, we're still kind of like 512 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,000 in it and we haven't collected our thoughts. You know, we have our 513 00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:05,199 thoughts on the main event as it just happened, but we're gonna have to 514 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,519 kind of sit back and take a look at everything see how things shake out. 515 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,159 I believe Scott's ever one do wasby Player of the Year. I believe 516 00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:16,400 he locked it up unless something happened that I don't know. John Race is 517 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,760 making a run in the wait. Braisner can win if he wins the event. 518 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,840 He's like fourth and chips in then wins the There's like an online event 519 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,159 this weekend or something. Oh so it's still going. I mean I thought 520 00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:30,159 everything was done today. Okay, I guess check in on that too. 521 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:36,000 All right, Well, cool, you got any party thoughts. No, 522 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,039 not yet, in a couple of days, in a couple of events time. 523 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,599 What I mean, when everything's wrapped up complete, we put a bow 524 00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:46,559 on Player of the Year. We put a bow on you know, Mike 525 00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:50,159 Madison could win a brain, John Race could win's a lot of people. 526 00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:53,880 They still have some there's still some untold stories. And we're on the founday 527 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,440 of the World Series of book. Great, well, that's gonna do it 528 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,400 for us.
