that's ending when the WSPNS. So if

00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:24,319
you're here on the final day of
the WSP, stop on buy and grab

00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:31,199
yourself a swagbag. All right,
Main event, baby, down to three.

55
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,040
We have up on top, Nicholas
Ostet aka Leena nine hundred, two

56
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,720
hundred and twenty three million, which
represents seventy four big blinds, Jonathan Tomayo

57
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:46,839
in second with one hundred and ninety
seven million, sixty seven big blinds for

58
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,879
him, and then Jordan Griff who
began today's final table or yesterday's final table,

59
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,160
I should say, because I know
you're listening to this. On Wednesday,

60
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,639
July seventeenth, Griff began the final
table with chip lead. He finished

61
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,560
in third third here one hundred and
eighty seven million, sixty two big blinds

62
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,040
for him, but pretty condensed final
three. Yeah, I mean it's pretty

63
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,879
close overall, which should make for
some fun action tomorrow. Believe the blinds

64
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:17,319
will remain at one point five million, three million when these guys take to

65
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,439
the Felt again. Guaranteed four million
dollars. Second places were six million,

66
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:28,040
First place is worth ten million.
Just for a all the time sec.

67
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,360
Let's look at twenty twenty three really
quick see even Jones. End of day

68
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:33,120
one of the final type was a
chip leader two hundred and thirty eight million.

69
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:36,720
Daniel Wyman the eventual champion. He
was second in one to ninety nine,

70
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,000
and then Adam Walton, who was
the overnight chip leader, was third,

71
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:46,439
finished with one sixty five to five. So those three kind of spread

72
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,040
fairly evenly. This one, you
know, clamp down the bottom also overnight

73
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:55,199
chip leader going from first to third
kind of very similar. Ostet is the

74
00:05:55,319 --> 00:06:00,319
favorite, you know, skill wise, experience, he has the chip lead.

75
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,879
I think everything favors him. He
came into the final table today third

76
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,839
in chips, but was basically tied
with Brian Kim second in chips. Just

77
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:15,720
a couple hundred thousand was separating those
two behind Jordan Griff. But Asta had

78
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,160
a big day. We'll talk some
about that. The biggest part of it

79
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,040
was a hand against Brian Kim,
you know, when they were seven handed.

80
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:28,720
So we'll hit on that as we
go through everything. But we got

81
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,519
to start things off with a double
up early on from Andris Gonzalez. He

82
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,240
doubled early through Jordan Griff. Gonzalez
the Spaniard came into the final table as

83
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,279
the short stack. Griff raised from
the hijack seat to two big lines.

84
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,519
Gonzalez was in the cutoff, moved
all in for nine big lines. Griff

85
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,959
called with pocket threes, Gonzalez had
eight. Gonzalez flopped top set on the

86
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:58,279
eight five to four flop turned a
full house, leaving Griff drawing dead.

87
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,360
I thought the d three to three
was kind of interesting here, a little

88
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,839
wide. It feels close to me, yeah, I mean, found the

89
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:14,720
same on anything, Yeah, I
haven't, but it feels close. It

90
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,319
feels close. I mean, I
also think it probably benefits Griff that if

91
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,240
you make a more conservative fold here
to just have the chip lead and be

92
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:26,720
able to push around your opponents if
somebody's got you know, ten big blinds

93
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:30,000
at the table. But either way, he makes the call with threes,

94
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,000
loses to Gonzalez's eights, and the
Spaniards off and running. I believe he

95
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,279
then shoved the next hand, if
I remember correctly, and then got some

96
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:42,000
more action through and chipped up pretty
nicely, so gave himself a little bit

97
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,639
of a comfort zone. Then we
had another all in not long after the

98
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,639
Frenchman Mallow Latinois got all in against
Brian Kim. Bold players had the same

99
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:56,279
hand ace Jack of diamonds for latinas
Ace Jack of clubs for Kim. But

100
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,199
it was a sweat for the Frenchman
because it came Ace nine to eight with

101
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:05,279
two clubs. Latin Wall was able
to fade the flush from Brian Kim,

102
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:11,319
and these two chopped up the pot. I would say this was the start

103
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,680
of a little bit of run bad
for Brian Kim. I just I don't

104
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,800
know. I felt like he just
it wasn't his day for a couple of

105
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480
different reasons. I mean, listen, going into this hand, ahjack verse

106
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:26,759
as jack, You're going to chop
the majority of the time, you know,

107
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:30,680
but then you flop that free roll. You know, maybe you feel

108
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,799
like you know you could have won
that one. That leads into Brian Kim

109
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,720
back dooring a flush against Jordan Griff. But Griff had turned a full house,

110
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:43,600
so you know, that's another another
problem there for Brian Kim. Griff

111
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,039
raised in early position. Brian Kim
called out of the small blind with a

112
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,159
s eight of clubs. Griff had
a couple of fours. Griff loves those

113
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:56,519
small pairs he does flop came nine
four three, two diamonds and one club.

114
00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:00,679
Kim chuck called thirty percent, turn
three of clubs, herring the board

115
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,039
bringing a second club. You can
tell where I'm going with this one.

116
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,440
Kim check calls sixty two percent.
The River is the jack of clubs.

117
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,120
So Kim with his a state of
clubs makes the nut flush on the river.

118
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:16,240
He check calls eighty three percent.
Griff's got the four to four tables

119
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,519
at full house and that was a
big dent to Brian Kim, who came

120
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,399
in with it just over ninety six
million something like that. Ninety four million,

121
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,200
I can't remember exactly, but he
was second in chips and this took

122
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:33,279
him down into the fifties, So
big, big hit here for Brian Kim.

123
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:35,600
And then this is the point when
I came out of the commentary with

124
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,519
enjoying the rail yeap, with my
scarf, with my sign, with my

125
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,240
mirrored sunglasses and scuff. I said, my scarf. That was the first

126
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,559
thing I said. I was ready
to go, you will I was ready

127
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,399
to go the scars by the way
on Brian kinsraw or my idea. Just

128
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,279
so everyone knows I am. You
know, I had Gary Gates one time.

129
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:56,399
I showed up dressed like Mike Tyson's
punch out, wearing boxing gloves and

130
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:01,039
stuff. Here I'm rocking exactly what
Brian was wearing, the bohemian style scarf,

131
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,600
mirrored sunglasses. I'm just an elite
railer. You didn't have the white

132
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,600
T shirt. Well, I didn't
know what T shirt he was gonna wear.

133
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,799
Should have known that. You would
know that. Yeah, but I

134
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,279
would never wear a white T shirt. Not a white T shirt. Nope,

135
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,639
don't like them. Don't like them. Yeah. So Brian Kim loses

136
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:24,519
that hand back dooring Jordan Griff's full
house. Then we got Latin Woah getting

137
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:31,360
his money in six point eight five
Big Blinds over a raise from Griff Latin

138
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,879
wah had Ace King of hearts.
Griff, guess what he had? Tim,

139
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:41,159
Come on, I'm trying to think
there's a theme here. Sixes small,

140
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,240
yes, the small pair. Remember
he only plays threes and fours.

141
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:48,759
Okay, that's that's all he plays. So he's got threes here. Ace

142
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,519
ten nine flop puts the Frenchman in
only three on the turn, bang bang

143
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,080
bang Ace on the river to make
trips for Latin whall. But of course

144
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,480
that didn't matter, just a little
bit of salt in the wound, as

145
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:05,559
we lose him in ninth place for
a million buckeroos. Then Jonathan Tomayo doubled

146
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:11,919
up. Of course, Jonathan Tomyo
folded Queen's during ten handed play, caught

147
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,440
a lot of flat on social media. My guy over here, Tim loves

148
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,919
it, right, love it?
Hey, you love it? I see

149
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,240
him, baby, Yeah, I
see him. I seem as for poor

150
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:24,919
people, well, Jonathan Tomayo might
not be might be povo? Who do

151
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,720
we not not? Yeah? I
mean I guess let's let's wind it back.

152
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,039
I would have folded. What would
you honestly done? Let's be honest?

153
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,759
Yes, in that spot ten handed, I'm never several you can I

154
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:41,360
think you can just call three options. I think you can call. Yeah,

155
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,360
I think you can jam. I
think you can three betting on all

156
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:48,240
in. I would have I would
have probably jammed. I think I would

157
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,639
have probably called. I think faulting
is even. I couldn't find faulting pretty

158
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,879
tough. I don't like to jam
because I don't really want to go.

159
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,960
I want to make the final table. So yeah, I do have some

160
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,240
chip preservation, but I think I
might call and try and assess go from

161
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:07,240
a I would have jammed. I
think that. I think the idea of

162
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:18,799
ICM in this tournament is very interesting
because the pay jumps are relatively flat early

163
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,080
on at the final table and even
from you know, tenth to ninth,

164
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,120
like they're like two hundred k,
two hundre k, two hundred and fifty

165
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:30,960
k, you know, even even
the jump the first the five hundred K

166
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,559
jump like in real life, in
real American dollars, cold hard cash,

167
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,759
Like a jump of two hundred and
fifty k, that's a lot of money.

168
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,799
Yeah, okay, but going from
like one million to one point twenty

169
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:48,919
five million when there's ten million dollars
up top, like doesn't feel that big.

170
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:56,360
So I think that that's like that
can sometimes like mess with people's minds,

171
00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:58,679
where like you want to play to
win, but then you also know

172
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,080
that it's a crap ton of money
because you know, quarter of a million

173
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,960
dollars is a lot of money.
Yeah, but like if you were at

174
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,720
a final table and it was one
thousand dollars and the next next prize was

175
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,159
twelve hundred and fifty, I mean
probably just yolo it in with the queens,

176
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,840
like I mean right, like I
mean sure, but thinking of it

177
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,039
from a monetary aspect of very little
to quite a lot, well, I'm

178
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,600
just I'm just thinking of just thinking
of it. One is that I think

179
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:31,679
I think in this tournament people point
to ICM, but also forget about how

180
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,639
top heavy this tournament is. Like
I think the Kristin fox In hand and

181
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,799
her approach is a good example,
which was before the final table. You

182
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:43,120
know, she busted out in thirteenth
place, where I don't particularly care,

183
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,600
like think that Kristin Foxen cares about
anything outside of like the top four,

184
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:52,159
the top three. So she's gonna
play to win, go win that f

185
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,080
and retirement money. Yeah, agree, you know, and like I feel

186
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,320
like people just kind of become in
a way prisoners of the moment where they're

187
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,240
like, oh, okay, I
got to lock up like this quarter of

188
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:05,799
a million, this this next quarter
of a million, or this five hundred

189
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,279
k, when it might be better
off to play for the ten million up

190
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,159
top, or even like the six
million second with kind of this weird security

191
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:22,480
blanket that if you do bust out
ninth or tenth ninth, you still get

192
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,039
a million dollars. Yeah, that's
still a crap ton of money. Tenth

193
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,120
you get what was eight hundred k, So like it's still a crap ton

194
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,559
of money. So it's not like
you're going home with like nothing, you

195
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,440
know, but you have that chance
to set yourself up to win. So

196
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,759
so that's just kind of my thoughts
on you know, when everyone everyone is

197
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:46,159
always just default like ICMICM, ICM, Right. But I also feel like

198
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:50,399
you can in a way kind of
not care so much about the ICM in

199
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,279
this specific spot because once you get
to like the final two tables, I

200
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,879
mean you're already pretty much getting life
changing money. I mean, once you

201
00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:00,879
get half a million dollars, I
mean that's a massive score. Like if

202
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,840
you fuck up going for it.
You're still gonna land lend on land on

203
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,600
a giant pillow that is made up
of a half of a million dollars of

204
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,639
money, So it's it's not the
end of the world in a lot of

205
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:22,039
ways. Then Jonathan Tomayo finds a
double up and he gets it in good

206
00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:26,759
his ACE nine versus Griff's a seven. Griff is just involved in every single

207
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:31,440
all unimaginable Griff raised on the button
two Biglindes. Tomayo was in the small

208
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,519
big blind and at this point had
gotten down to six and a quarter big

209
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,879
blinds, so he moves all in
with ACE nine off. Griff calls him

210
00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:43,679
with a seven off board runs out
clean for Tomayow. He actually hits a

211
00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:48,600
nine on the river and he gets
the double up. Then we lose Joe

212
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:52,759
Sarrac. Now I mentioned earlier that
it really wasn't Brian Kim's day. It

213
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,519
also was not Joe Sarrack's day.
I mean, it just seemed like,

214
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000
kind of right out of the gate, every pot Joe Sirock tried to end

215
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,240
he lost yep, like nothing was
going his way, so he didn't meditate

216
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,879
enough in the morning. That's what
it was. I hurt. Yeah,

217
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:08,600
we'll explain that to the people.
Well, what was he doing? I

218
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,519
saw a picture of Jose Rock laying
on the floor. Looked like a dead

219
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:15,080
body. So we told players,
you know, one point thirty, come

220
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,600
in. We'll get you miked up
et ceta at two o'clock, everything starts.

221
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,919
Players are here at one o'clock eager
to go, which is great because

222
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,240
we're so accustomed to poker place on
up. Late. Finally we had a

223
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,720
few through and obviously you know,
Joe Sarah was in there with I think

224
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:33,080
Jonathan Tomayo. He was in there
with one other guy, and he didn't

225
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,240
have much to do. He decided
to lie down, had his music on,

226
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,320
I believe, just lying on the
ground in the Thunderdome. Looked like

227
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,440
he was napping. And then we
were told later he was just meditating.

228
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:51,279
So either maybe too much meditating or
not enough. Because it wasn't the best

229
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:55,159
of days for mister Sarah. No
it was not. And then you know

230
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,039
he ultimately gets his money and runs
into the pocket. Queeners for leaner nine

231
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,640
hundred and that's all she wrote for
Sarah. He had hit just under twenty

232
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:10,960
big blinds. This was a small
blind versus big blind ultimately, but Ostet

233
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:14,920
did get a little tricky with it. Griff raised under the gun. Ostet

234
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,920
calls small blind with queens. Do
you like that play over there? Mister

235
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,680
Queen's Queens has a very cold spot
in my heart in the wsp Man event

236
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,759
because that is how I bubbled.
So there you go. It gives me

237
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:30,880
shifts, think queens. I wanted
to be messed that hand up in the

238
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,599
tag team, so yeah, Griff
raised under the gun, min raised two

239
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,480
big blinds. Ostett just calls in
the small blind with queens. Sirac thinks

240
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:41,640
he's got a good squeeze spot,
good hand as well. Nineteen point eight

241
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:45,079
big blinds into the middle from the
big blind, Grif folds a couple of

242
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:51,839
sevens O'stet calls Queen's and that's all
she wrote for Sarrak which I believe the

243
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,720
eighth place payout was one point twenty
five million dollars. Then, going along

244
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,039
the lines of what I said earlier, with it not being Brian Kim's day,

245
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,839
he runs into the kings for Gonzalez. Gonzalez moved all in from early

246
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:10,000
position for eight and a half big
blinds. Kim is in the cutoff seats

247
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:14,160
and makes the call with a couple
of queens. Queen's just going everywhere around

248
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,400
the table. In this final ta
Gonzalez has kings. No queen comes for

249
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,200
Kim. He has to give up
the eight and a half big blinds,

250
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,559
giving a little bit of extra momentum
over there to the Spaniard Gonzalez then probably

251
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:33,200
the hand of the final table,
or actually on the second hand of the

252
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,640
final table, because there's another one
coming up that we'll get to. That

253
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,759
was bigger and more son, even
though you might not have known it if

254
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:48,319
you were listening to the broadcast that
said Brian Kim goes out in seventh place.

255
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,559
I would say that it's probably disappointing
for him because he comes in second

256
00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:59,240
in chips, albeit you know,
virtually tied with Nicholas ousted, but still

257
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:03,640
second in chips, and then busts
in seventh. So Boris Angelov, the

258
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,759
Bulgarian raised on the button two point
three big blinds. Now, I got

259
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,279
to ask you something about this hand
in a second okay, So he makes

260
00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:15,880
it two point three big blinds,
which was big, bigger, yes,

261
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,400
but it was four point six million, okay right at because it was one

262
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,279
million, two million, okay,
Kim is in the small blind re raises

263
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:26,920
to five point nine big binds eleven
point eight million. Okay, so four

264
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:33,759
point six million to eleven point eight
million, ostet according to the reporting on

265
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:37,359
Poker News and WSP dot com.
According to our graphics, re raises to

266
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,480
nine big blinds eighteen million. Doesn't
he have to make it? Nineteen million?

267
00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:48,559
Four point six million to eleven point
eight is the first raise? Is

268
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,119
this? Three bet four point six
to eleven point eight okay? What's the

269
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,720
difference? What are the blinds seven
point million? I'm just just do the

270
00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:00,599
difference seven point two okay. The
so what's seven point two plus eleven point

271
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,680
eight should be nineteen? Yeah?
Nineteen? What are you making? Eighteen?

272
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:11,200
Be sure it wasn't just a type? Did you watch it on the

273
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,880
stream. I didn't watch the stream. The chips how much they cut down.

274
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,039
I didn't watch the stream for this
one. I mean I did afterwards

275
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:22,920
because I was on the rail while
this was happening. Yeah, angelov Folds

276
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,720
gets out of the way, Kim, thanks for a little while, and

277
00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:33,319
then moves all in for almost fifty
four million, So twenty seven big blinds

278
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:38,480
Ostet takes about five seconds, makes
the call with pocket tens. Kim's got

279
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:45,599
King six of clubs, and baby, we're sweating because Kim's rail needs a

280
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,039
king or some clubs. It comes
Queen ten to eight with one club turn

281
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,319
five of clubs, which does give
Kim a sweat here with the back door

282
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,599
clubs, but of course Leaner nine
hundred there with the middle set ten six

283
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,920
of spades on the river black but
no good. Of course it was also

284
00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:07,400
six, so it didn't matter.
And Kim is out the door seventh place,

285
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,480
one point five million dollars for him, and that was a massive,

286
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:17,839
massive pot to Brian Kim, and
I think we should talk. I think

287
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,559
we should throw to Jeff's interview with
Brian Kim, his elimination interview, because

288
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:26,599
Brian Kim said something in the interview
that I want to hit on. So

289
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,079
let's throw to Jeff Platt and Brian
Kim right now. Bran, I'm sure

290
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,400
it's overwhelming in the moment. Can
you at least give us a glimpse into

291
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,480
your thought process there at the King
six student, Yeah, I felt like

292
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,720
the player on the button was just
going to open all the stuff he's supposed

293
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,880
to and something happened where I kind
of thought he might have been a little

294
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:56,359
lighter, and then I have a
three bats sometimes sometimes sold. And then

295
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:03,200
my instinct was that Nicholas considered folding
after he peeled his cards and then he

296
00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:11,519
foro bet and just something about it
didn't feel like he had the one one.

297
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,319
So yeah, I just thought I
could clear out some of the acex

298
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:21,759
bluffs. So yeah, sometimes you
go for it and it doesn't work out.

299
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,680
Obviously he did a great job adjusting
and fore betting tens. Yeah,

300
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,400
it's just how it goes. You
grew up watching the World Series of Poker

301
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,640
main event. Do you allow yourself
to take some pride in the moment to

302
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:41,079
just go for it here at this
final table? Well, honestly, I'm

303
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,119
a bit sad because it's like a
bit of a punt, right, But

304
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:51,200
no, it's you in this lineup. You just kind of have to battle

305
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,920
and you can't just sit there and
wait around. So I'm not I don't

306
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,160
think my play was completely tragic,
but yeah, I feel good about it,

307
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,920
and I think it was a great
run. I'm I'm I'm gonna be

308
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,799
happy tomorrow for sure. All Right, So that was Brian Kim with Jeff

309
00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:12,079
Platt, and the thing that I
wanted to hit on is when he said

310
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:18,440
that he saw Nicholas look at his
cards and like almost looked like he was

311
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,640
about to fold and then come with
a four beat. So I thought that

312
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,559
that was interesting. Maybe a little
bit of some live reads going on with

313
00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:30,319
Brian Kim there, and you know, ultimately live reads that went wrong because

314
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,400
you know, Lena had a hand
that was a value hand and he was

315
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,720
not folding. So so yeah,
I thought that was interesting. Could have

316
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:41,640
just been something where like Lena just
looked at his hand like a slightly different

317
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,480
way, but it really it meant
nothing, but you know, Brian Kim

318
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:49,160
read it as something, so yeah, yeah, you're you're right. He

319
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,759
made it eleven eleven eight, that's
confirmed. BA can count the chips.

320
00:23:53,200 --> 00:24:00,480
Lena did make it eighteen, so
so that was off. So that was

321
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,799
Danie. Yeah, I mean,
listen, I know it's one big blind,

322
00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:07,160
but I also always wonder with how
studied these guys are, like what

323
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,039
that would have ultimately done to anything, if anything, I've been most studied

324
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:14,480
for a clickback. It's just a
click beat, right yeah, anyway,

325
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:17,519
I mean I don't think it ultimately
matter. Whatever backfold, isn't that the

326
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:22,319
point of it. I'm not gonna
speak on LANEA nine hundreds full bet range

327
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:23,920
from the big bline. But I
thought that's like a clickback fold. I

328
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,359
mean when you do that, I
don't Kim has A has a good hand

329
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:33,920
to five bet rip here if he
thinks Austin is getting out of line at

330
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,119
all. You know, King blocks
some premiums. You have that six,

331
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,640
so you know the bluffs six.
The six is very important because if you

332
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:48,200
have let's say King five of clubs
right, then you remove in ACE five

333
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,400
suited combo. But if you have
a six, then all the ACE five,

334
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,799
Ace four, Ace three, Ace
deuce combos are in there. But

335
00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:59,559
if you have like King four suited, King three suited, King five suited,

336
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,799
and though you remove one combo from
those other hands. See this is

337
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:08,079
why I stick with the south point
about the four bet rangers and the King.

338
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,400
I got the six block the club
the spect No, I'm not doing

339
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,559
that. I'm never going to get
better. I just I cannot put myself

340
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,720
through this. No offense. Kudos
to you for like understanding this. You

341
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,240
never find me outside King the King
like the ace King, you know,

342
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:27,079
the Kings. Of course I get
that, and maybe he just could have

343
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,599
also thought that he was just getting
completely out of line here given the spot.

344
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,319
You know, if he seems like
if he thinks Brian Kim is going

345
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,880
to be three betting the button opener
light, then he can attack accordingly,

346
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,440
and then it's you know, just
kind of a leveling war between these two

347
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,160
who are very good. So yeah, I also thought that it was interesting

348
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,759
that maybe this is a little too
inside baseball, but whatever. I went

349
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:55,759
to dinner afterwards with Brian and a
bunch of us. Dinner, right,

350
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,480
I don't do that around Donald.
I did good at dinner. We stayed

351
00:25:57,519 --> 00:26:00,880
here, I went with a celebrity. There was a did dinner as well,

352
00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:07,039
Hard and show celebrity. We stay
here and work. Every day I

353
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,279
was working. I was getting an
intel in order to share on this podcast.

354
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,799
Was just what I'm about to share. Okay. Well, one of

355
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:18,559
our friends, who knows Nicholas very
well, is good friends with him,

356
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,559
plays with them all the time,
talks poker with them all the time,

357
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:26,920
said that Nicholas is extremely good,
Like probably his best quality as a poker

358
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:33,960
player is that he's extremely good at
doing something in order to basically manipulate his

359
00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:38,279
opponent to doing what he wants them
to do. So like here, you

360
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:42,079
know, essentially the click four bet
on the cold four bet from the Big

361
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,400
Blind, you know, getting Brian
Kim to essentially spaz out a little bit

362
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,799
here with that King six put it
all in. I say a little bit

363
00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:53,720
because I think, you know,
Brian had some reasons why he did what

364
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:59,599
he did. So that's like kind
of interesting that our friend who knows Nicholas

365
00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:02,880
had that insight that, like,
you know, this is this is what

366
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:06,799
Nicholas is very good at. This
friend. Huh, But I also know

367
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:08,599
this friend, I think. So
Okay, I don't know, maybe Rad

368
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:15,160
Pitt, that's what you're talking about. Were you at my wedding? I

369
00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:18,720
can't remember he was at my wedding, so you probably know, all right,

370
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:22,599
Moving on next hand, So you
sayeah, Brian Kim goes out there

371
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,119
a bit of a shock. But
I'm also going to say this, and

372
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:29,799
if anyone's gonna punt, it would
be Brian Kim, if anyone was gonna

373
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,519
I think, I mean even Kim
said it was a bit of a punt,

374
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:40,759
So I don't think he would totally
disagree with you, but it's not.

375
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,079
The thing is that when you say
punt, it's it's not always like

376
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,319
the tragically worst thing in the world. Like you can have some punts and

377
00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:55,400
sometimes the other person folds. Sometimes
you get lucky and they work. Like

378
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,640
you know that it happens, right, I mean, it wasn't Vanessa Selps

379
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,759
a punt her all the time,
you know, but like she had an

380
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:07,319
incredible career, Like you have to
have that gear because then when you have

381
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,079
value, like Alan Kesler's never going
to be a punter. Tim duckw never

382
00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:15,240
gonna be a pun but Alan Casler
is a better example because because he plays

383
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,000
a lot more than you do.
And like when Alan Caster puts chips in

384
00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:21,920
the pot, like you're never gonna
pay him off just because he's never a

385
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,599
punter. Now, sure you know
who's a bad punter in a way,

386
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:33,680
your boy Zoom zoom, Oh my
god, because he'll just like randomly like

387
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,880
start like three and fourbating like Queen
Deuce, like out of like out of

388
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,119
absolute nowhere, like just because like
he doesn't believe this guy, or he

389
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,559
wants to lay the smack down Phil
Helmets style and his opponents like and you

390
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:47,839
know, these kids, they don't
know who they're doing, blah blah blah.

391
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,319
Just I'm gonna show him type of
stuff. Like he goes into these

392
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:55,680
crazy things and just like almost absolutely
just melts down and then just has like

393
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,720
these weird punts, and we all
joke that it's like, oh, it's

394
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,799
just filling zoom zoom mode when you
know, if we're gonna call for what

395
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,960
it is, it's an absolute punt, right. But what I was saying

396
00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:07,640
is that, like, yes,
you know, Kim probably punted to some

397
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:15,680
degree, but I like the same
thing that I said about Kristin Foxen I'm

398
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:21,000
gonna say here about Brian Kim is
that it takes a lot to go for

399
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:23,960
it on that stage. It took
a lot for Kristen Foxen to go for

400
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:29,119
it and trust herself and stick the
money in. Yeah. I think the

401
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,680
same thing for Brian Kim. You
know, you're seven handed at the final

402
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,720
table at the main event, Yeah, you can just fucking fold the King

403
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:38,039
six. You know. He even
said when I was talking to him about

404
00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:41,720
the hand, like the three bet
alone, like he can mix in some

405
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:45,240
three bets there, he can mix
in some folds so even starting the hand,

406
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:48,160
he could have folded at times,
you know, but if he randomized

407
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,039
in his head or did whatever he
did, he opted to go three betah,

408
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:55,920
which then led to everything else.
So maybe he just folds that sometimes

409
00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:57,480
and then if we just move on
to the next hand, or you know,

410
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:02,160
lean a three with the tens,
or plays the hand with the tens

411
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,279
out of the big line and just
wins it and like it's kind of an

412
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:07,200
inconsequential pot and we all just move
on to the next hand, right,

413
00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:14,039
or he folds to the forebat right. But I mean, he trusted himself,

414
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:18,079
you know, thought he had decent
logic within the hand that he had,

415
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,839
and you know what, he put
his opponent on the range. And

416
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:23,799
then also that live read thing that
he mentioned, so you know, I

417
00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:27,599
think that that was all just kind
of interesting. So again, you know,

418
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,720
this was a very interesting and at
the final table, there's one other

419
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,799
very interesting one that went down that
we'll talk about in a little while.

420
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:47,519
Jonathan Tomile ends up doubling again,
this time through Griff, which it was

421
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:51,519
Griff before he doubles through Griff again. Griff raised two big blinds. Tomayo

422
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,119
re raised to twelve and a quarter
big Linds left himself with five big lines

423
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,200
behind. Griff moves all in.
Tomile calls with a night Off loves that

424
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,839
A nine off. Doesn't love queens, but absolutely loves the A nine off.

425
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:11,960
Griff has a dominating ace king,
But what's the river nine ball?

426
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:15,079
Come back? That's right and Tomaio
gets the double up. There think he

427
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,759
also had a seven. He had
a gutshot. I think I think he

428
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:21,640
had a gut shot of the nine. We had another come from behind to

429
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,519
double up. This time it was
the Bulgarian Boris Angelov. He spiked a

430
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:30,559
five to double against Nicholas Ostet.
This was small blind versus big blind,

431
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:33,720
folded to Angelov in the small blind, he moved all in for about ten

432
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:37,000
and a half big lines with ace
five off. Ostet looks down and finds

433
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:41,279
ace. Jack Off makes the call
nine to seven to five on the flop,

434
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:47,480
and Angeloff holds from there to get
the double. Then we get probably

435
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:52,480
the most interesting hand or the biggest
hand at the final table. This was

436
00:31:52,599 --> 00:31:57,160
Jonathan Tomayo versus Nicholas Ostett, and
it started with Ostet on the button min

437
00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:01,759
raised to two big blinds. He
had pocket tens again hit pocketens in the

438
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:07,039
other interesting hand with Brian Kim.
This time he's got pocket ten's here raising

439
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:13,079
on the button. Tomayo defends from
the big blind with King Queen. It

440
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,000
comes Ace jack ten. That's right, you heard me, Ace jack ten.

441
00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:22,319
Couple of clubs out there. So
Tomaio flops Broadway stone cold nuts here

442
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:30,960
and Ostet is feeling amazing, probably
with the pocket tens for bottom set here,

443
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,720
also probably feeling extra good because you
unblock the ace and the jack and

444
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:38,559
you have the best set to have
in this situation. So Tomayo checks and

445
00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:44,119
Ostet comes with fifty seven percent.
A bit of some geometric bet sizing here

446
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,039
that we'll see from Ostet. Turn
is the deuce after Tomaio calls just a

447
00:32:49,079 --> 00:32:52,200
blank deuce. No club comes in
again. There were two clubs on the

448
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,920
flop. Tomayo chuck calls again,
this time for forty three percent of the

449
00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:00,440
pots. River is a blank of
three. Tomayo checks, Ostat puts them

450
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:06,119
all in for around fifty four percent
pot, and Tomayo makes the call of

451
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,759
course with the nuts os that's tens
go down in flames there and wow,

452
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:20,720
this was wild, because you know, Tomayo, I feel like probably just

453
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:24,400
wanted to ladder a couple spots at
the final table. I think that was

454
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,400
ultimately, of course, what led
to him folding those queens ten handed,

455
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,440
you know, and then given that
he comes into this final table with I

456
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,640
think twenty six million, it was
like basically him and Latin Wall were like

457
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:40,079
tied, and then Gonzalez was the
short stack. So you know, Tomayo

458
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,960
is hoping he can outlast one of
those two players. You know, ladder

459
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:49,519
up a spot or two, but
this hand, he's like he's in it,

460
00:33:49,839 --> 00:33:53,039
like he wins this hand. It's
a massive pot. He gets up

461
00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:57,160
to I think near one hundred million. I mean, now you have to

462
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,240
be feeling like, okay, the
hell with laddering up. I got at

463
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:02,079
to make it to the second day
of the final table and possibly go on

464
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:07,279
to win this damn thing, which
is just absolutely wild. So this hand

465
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:10,320
was crazy, the biggest one at
the final table for sure. But I

466
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,880
also have to give it to Nicholas
Ostet because in a way this could kind

467
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,519
of really derail you can certainly take
the wind out of your sales, but

468
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:25,800
probably just leans on the fact that
he's been through this a bazillion times before.

469
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,320
Maybe if you know, not maybe, but of course not on this

470
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,119
stage, this level, with you
know, this much money at play.

471
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:37,760
But the guy's played infinite poker tournaments
where he's taken beats like this, where

472
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,000
he thinks he's got the best hand, he's beaten by the hand, you

473
00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:44,480
know, a hand that beats him
that can kind of come out of surprise

474
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:47,679
in the moments, but you know, just focuses and gets right back on

475
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:53,920
the horse and continues on. So
then Gonzales goes out in sixth He four

476
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:59,920
bet jammed for twenty point five big
lines with pocket jacks. Ostat had acequ

477
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,599
ace and the flop, and that
was all she wrote for the Spaniard.

478
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,000
Then we lost the Bulgarian Angelov in
fifth place. This was an interesting hand

479
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:15,480
here. So Angelov shoves for six
big blinds. It was after Jason Segel

480
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,119
folded from under the gun, and
I think Sego had like ten or eleven

481
00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:23,280
big binds. Angelov has six big
lines. He shoves with pocket sixes.

482
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,079
Tomile's in the big blind. It
folds to him, thinks for a while,

483
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:31,760
makes the call with king six off, which feels close. I think

484
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:37,360
I lean fold here, but I
think it's close too. Definitely, King

485
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,880
six suited call, but King six
off is close, I think, And

486
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,800
I think Tomayow also recognized that just
by the way that he was acting,

487
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:50,400
you know, it kind of seemed
like he reluctantly called, which is generally

488
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,559
a good sign that the player understands
that it's close, or at least they

489
00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:55,840
feel that it's close. So so
yeah, I would agree that with Tomayo

490
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:01,199
that that this one's close. And
I actually talked with him later We're going

491
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,920
to play the interviews that I have
with all three of these players later on,

492
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,239
but he said that he thought that
this one was a mistake. So

493
00:36:07,159 --> 00:36:10,360
either way, it doesn't matter.
Because King five four king on the turn,

494
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,920
and because tomorrow has King six,
that means his opponent is drawing dead

495
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,199
with that turn, Card ten completes
the board on the river, and Angelov

496
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,000
is out in fifth place. By
the way, I forgot to ask you,

497
00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:23,639
how long did it take for six
hand to play to last before we

498
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:30,920
lost Gonzales and sixth eighty six hands
forever? It felt very, very very

499
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,679
long, and long enough for me
to get a massage. I mean,

500
00:36:34,039 --> 00:36:37,760
long enough for me to go to
dinner. I walked to dinner. I

501
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,079
walked back. You didn't want to
touch you. But like the other friend

502
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:44,880
said to these idiots, I go
to dinner. We're like, we're going

503
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,840
to Spago at Blagio. You know, okay, fine, Richie, I

504
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,559
told you we were with a celebrity. Oh that's right, was it?

505
00:36:51,639 --> 00:36:54,719
Yeah? And I walked there.
It takes like what nine minutes to fifteen?

506
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,760
Most yeah, fifteen. I walked
there very quickly. I get there.

507
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,320
No one else is there. Where
are you guys? Because they said,

508
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,320
you know, six o'clock. Kim
busted probably at like I don't know,

509
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,159
five five point fifteen. By time
they do the interview, we all

510
00:37:08,199 --> 00:37:12,280
stand around give him hugs. He
goes up to check in at the payout

511
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,400
desk, et cetera. You know, it's like five point thirty. So

512
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,639
they're like, yeah, let's meet
there at six. You know. I

513
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:20,559
come back here, charge my phone
for a few minutes, walk over there.

514
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,480
Okay, fine, I'm like,
where are you guys? Like we're

515
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:24,400
stuck in traffic? What do you
mean you're stuck in traffic? They drove

516
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,400
like, what are you guys doing? Joe Biden, the president is in

517
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,840
town it's an absolute shit show outside. You cannot go on the strip.

518
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:36,840
You can't. Yeah, I mean, so what are these people doing?

519
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,519
Come on the strip and they're Vegas
locals, So what the hell's what do

520
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:42,280
you guys? What are you guys
doing? I was like, you know,

521
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,079
you guys can walk here. One
of our friends like kind of ran

522
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:49,639
into the traffic and then just turned
around and went back to the parking garage

523
00:37:49,639 --> 00:37:52,679
and then walked which and then he
beat the other people who were stuck in

524
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,280
traffic. That's the second smartest person
in the group. Yeah, I mean,

525
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,239
I don't know what these people were
doing. Six and Play lasted forever.

526
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:01,840
Tim got massage, I got dinner. It seemed like they were never

527
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,400
gonna go home. So then we
lost Gonzales and six. We talked about

528
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,519
that. We talked about Angelov going
out in fifth place, then fourth place.

529
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:15,679
Jason Segel aka Big Bird. Do
also want to mention that Segal finished

530
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:20,760
was It twenty second in two thousand
and four for one hundred and twenty thousand

531
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,960
dollars. Really good run from him
there. So he makes the final three

532
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:30,079
tables again, and he's actually one
of three players at this final table to

533
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,880
have previously made the final three tables
in the was be Made event. You

534
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,480
had Segal, of course, back
in two thousand and four. You had

535
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,960
Tomayo got twenty first in two thousand
and nine for I think three hundred and

536
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:45,159
fifty thousand, and then you had
Brian Kim who got twenty second or twenty

537
00:38:45,159 --> 00:38:51,039
third in twenty and twenty two for
three hundred and twenty three k or something

538
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:54,239
like that. So three players,
Segal, Tomayo, and Kim had all

539
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,440
previously been to the final three tables
of the dovasp Made event before, which

540
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:05,239
is pretty pretty wild. So Segle
busting forth Nicholas Ostett raised under the gun

541
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,400
to two big blinds. It folds
over to Segel in the big blind with

542
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:14,320
nine point three big blinds. He
moves all in with two jacks. Ostet

543
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,679
tanks for a bit, ends up
making the call with ace three of clubs.

544
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:23,400
It comes eight four three, and
Segal like looks over at his rail

545
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,400
and kind of gives like the okay, a little bit of a sweat here

546
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,480
five on the turn, which means
that Ostett now picks up a wheel draw

547
00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:34,559
along with his pair of threes.
Segel looks over at his reel again says,

548
00:39:34,599 --> 00:39:37,960
oh, okay, a little more
of a sweat. Now, deuce

549
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:40,280
on the river, baby, at
least if you're a sweet if you're rooting

550
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,519
for Ostet, because he makes a
wheel that sends Sagel out the door.

551
00:39:45,519 --> 00:39:50,400
And I thought it was interesting that
on the broadcast you could hear him when

552
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,039
he was shaking the hands with the
other three players, and he basically he

553
00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:54,519
said to each of them, I
think you know, it wasn't my day.

554
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:58,880
It wasn't my day. It wasn't
my day. So didn't feel that

555
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,320
it was his day overall, you
know, didn't from what I saw checking

556
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,960
in on the broadcast. Didn't really
have too many playable hands, So,

557
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:10,960
you know, an unfortunate bust out
for Segel, but still gets what three

558
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,960
million dollars? Correct? I believe, yeah, three million dollars, so,

559
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:19,280
you know, really good score for
him, all things considered, all

560
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,519
right, sir, Okay, what'd
you think day one of the final table?

561
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:27,199
Like takeaways? What do you got
for me? Thoughts? When I

562
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,840
throw it at me? It was
very skeptical going in that it was going

563
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,079
to be a bit of a dud. And when I say dud, I

564
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:39,280
mean more the rail the reactions,
the vibe of this final table. But

565
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,239
I was pleasantly surprised. I was
actually very sad to lose, to see

566
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,480
Angelov go out. He had hands
down the best rail of the final nine.

567
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,480
But even people that were composed,
like Jonathan Toamayo, some people say

568
00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:57,880
he's looks like an account dressing in
Kacki's and Apolo, he got excited,

569
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,119
he celebrated some of those big double
ups he scored with his rail. So

570
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:06,119
it surprised me in that way.
You know, it was good to see

571
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,480
some action, Like you know,
obviously sometimes you do want to see your

572
00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:12,679
your favorite players or your friends,
you know, with you with Brian Kim,

573
00:41:13,119 --> 00:41:15,239
you know, just run over the
table. But we we saw a

574
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,000
bit of everything. We saw these
guys go up, you know. We

575
00:41:16,039 --> 00:41:20,440
saw Griff go up to two hundred
million back down. We saw Nicholas go

576
00:41:20,559 --> 00:41:23,719
up to two hundred and something back
down. We saw some suckers, We

577
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,239
saw some crazy turn cards, some
crazy run around of beats, we saw

578
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,199
big plots. I think this kind
of had everything without having everything, like

579
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,280
you know, if that kind of
I don't know if that kind of makes

580
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,239
sense, But yeah, I didn't
mind it I didn't mind it at all.

581
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:42,079
You know, of course would have
liked to see Ryan Kim go a

582
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:44,599
little bit deeper, but you know, he still cast for one point five

583
00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:46,239
million, made the File Table the
biggest tournament in the world. So yeah,

584
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,679
that's like four by ins of trying. I know, it's great.

585
00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:53,119
It's it's so crazy to think about, you know, even as an outsider.

586
00:41:53,159 --> 00:41:58,000
And I know I thought about this
before with my good friend Gary Gates,

587
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:04,119
Like you know that you buy into
a ten thousand dollars poker tournament.

588
00:42:05,679 --> 00:42:10,199
In every other poker tournament out there, that's ten thousand dollars and cashing for

589
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,320
one point five million or even two
million, or you know, Gary Gates

590
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,639
cast for three million. I mentioned
Jason Siegel cast for three million, Like

591
00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:22,880
that's first place. Yeah, you
won the tournament essentially. I mean WPT

592
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,679
World Championship and the w spman are
the only ones that aren't like that.

593
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:31,760
Yeah, so it's great. But
on the other side of things, you

594
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:38,280
get this far, like you really
taste the victory, like you can you

595
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:44,800
can achieve that you can achieve the
win, right, so I can only

596
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,039
imagine, like what sort of emotions
are going through you when you make it

597
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:53,599
to the final table and then bust
out because you've come so far and you've

598
00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:58,679
already made so much money. But
then you also like start to see the

599
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,639
finish line. So I have a
thought on that, and I want to

600
00:43:01,639 --> 00:43:06,000
ask you about it. You know
Brian Kime better than me. I know

601
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:10,239
him a little a little bit.
He's very tense when he plays poker,

602
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:13,440
right, would you say that tense? I think is a good word.

603
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,039
He's very focused. It's hyper focus, and he doesn't want to be deserved

604
00:43:16,039 --> 00:43:19,199
once to do his own thing every
day. So far, during this main

605
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,000
event run, he's bounced out of
here. He's you know, you can't

606
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,440
really talk to him, can't do
anything with him. He's gone. I

607
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,159
felt that when he busted, you
know, I went over, I said,

608
00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:30,000
hey, good run, gave him
little fist pump. I felt this

609
00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:35,280
like he was very like relieved maybe
or calm, maybe, like the pressure

610
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,039
the weight of like this tournament was
now off him, even though he had

611
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:42,199
busted in seventh, you know,
only busting in seventh, only winning one

612
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:45,800
point five million dollars, but that
pressure, that relief that had been building

613
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,400
up for you know, this is
day nine for him of playing poker,

614
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,760
that he could just breathe a sigh
of relief and probably I'd let you fill

615
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,679
us in on this at dinner,
maybe he was calm and a normal Brian

616
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,480
and laughing and joking. I don't
know what was your thoughts on. I

617
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:07,079
think he was like part sad,
part not happy yet but recognize that he

618
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:10,360
would be happy probably tomorrow or the
next day. Yeah, I mean,

619
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,840
I think that you just put so
much into a tournament like this, and

620
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,239
we've seen it with not just Brian
Kimball, with you know, everyone that

621
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,320
runs this deep in this thing,
like you just it absolutely consumes you.

622
00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:31,199
It takes you over and then once
you're done, if you if you don't

623
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,239
win, because you know only one
person can win. If you don't win,

624
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:38,679
like it just must be like I
don't even know how to describe it

625
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:43,960
because I can't be in those that
position. I've never been in that position.

626
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:45,840
I don't know. I just know
that, like, as a friend

627
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:51,000
watching on, it's stressful as fuck
watching your friends out there go through this

628
00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:53,559
sort of thing, but at the
same time, it's the most exciting thing

629
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:59,320
in the universe. So it's very
weird to have that sensation and I can

630
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:09,760
only imagine that sensation is magnified by
the players at the table. We got

631
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,639
some insight into that for these final
three players because I did talk with each

632
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:16,079
of them, even though Tim didn't
want to come help me with the interviews

633
00:45:16,679 --> 00:45:22,039
because he was writing the recap,
which is not as important as By the

634
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:28,719
way, yes, we have to
do something about it is a It is

635
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:35,599
chaos out there. They're trying to
do the three person photo and like media

636
00:45:35,679 --> 00:45:38,800
is just grabbing the players for interviews. It's clearly photos first, Like it's

637
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:43,480
it's if production wants any sort of
shots, sweeping cameras, take the jip,

638
00:45:43,559 --> 00:45:46,920
whatever the heck it is. That's
first. Photos are second. Then

639
00:45:47,159 --> 00:45:51,280
the people go in Yeah, okay. I ran a point on that yesterday

640
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,519
with the tenth Well you need to
get your ass out there and run point

641
00:45:52,559 --> 00:46:00,119
again because I sat it was a
disaster. My bad started interviewing people before

642
00:46:00,119 --> 00:46:05,079
the photos are taken, and we're
all kind of like standing around. Is

643
00:46:05,079 --> 00:46:08,320
it is it abby for poker news? She like looks at me, She's

644
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,719
like, are we doing interviews now? I'm like, no, we shouldn't.

645
00:46:12,199 --> 00:46:14,639
She's like I didn't think so,
But like they're interviewing them. I'm

646
00:46:14,639 --> 00:46:16,519
like, I don't want you know, there's no one out here next toye.

647
00:46:16,599 --> 00:46:20,000
I'll be better. I promise I'll
be buying next to you for you.

648
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:22,840
There just needs to be people out
there like that are like, first

649
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,559
of all, it's not your job, like just somebody like coordinating, yeah,

650
00:46:27,039 --> 00:46:30,920
figuring the stuff out because like you
know, and I also it's also

651
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,400
weird because I know we're going to
get to these interviews with these players.

652
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,840
But I think you might even agree
because I know you always think like player

653
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:44,880
first, I almost don't want to
interview these guys because first of all,

654
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,320
I want I want to interview people, and I know you and I have

655
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,440
talked about this. We want to
do it on our own. We don't

656
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,400
want to do it in a scrum
okay, And by time we do it,

657
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,920
if we go up first, the
chances that like someone else sticks their

658
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,559
microphone in there and wants to scrum
it are high. So we like to

659
00:47:01,559 --> 00:47:07,039
wait till the end. You wait
till the end. A player has probably

660
00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:12,199
gone through three, four, maybe
five interviews and they're over it, like

661
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,280
they're ready to go home, you
know, especially in this tournament at this

662
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:21,639
stage, they want to go home, unwind, possibly study whatever they can

663
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,000
tonight, get to bed as early
as they can, get some rest,

664
00:47:24,079 --> 00:47:28,519
get up, study some more,
cram for the final test, come back

665
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,119
and try and finish this thing out. So I almost feel bad, I

666
00:47:31,199 --> 00:47:36,280
know, like I feel I feel
like I have a responsibility and I really

667
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,440
want to do it, Like I
want to bring interviews to this podcast and

668
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:43,800
talk to these players and all that
sort of stuff, but also like part

669
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:50,719
of me wants to respect them and
the time or lack thereof that they have

670
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,679
from one day to the next and
not bother them. So you know,

671
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:59,199
I kind of just try and get
in there and ask questions like pretty quickly,

672
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,599
and like come with two or three, get a good sound bite or

673
00:48:01,599 --> 00:48:05,920
two maybe, and then get out
of there, just because it must be

674
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,480
so like like you just want like
you're done playing bag up the chips,

675
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:12,079
go home, like move on to
the next day, you know. But

676
00:48:12,159 --> 00:48:16,639
I also understand that, like on
the other side is these players are the

677
00:48:16,639 --> 00:48:21,159
biggest thing in poker right now.
The Final nine was the biggest thing in

678
00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:23,360
poker when they made the final table, right the Final three right now,

679
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,239
they're the biggest thing in poker until
tomorrow comes, and then eventually the champion

680
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,000
is going to be the biggest thing
in poker for you know, the next

681
00:48:30,079 --> 00:48:37,000
year, maybe even longer. Yep. So I don't know if the players

682
00:48:37,119 --> 00:48:40,719
having a duty is like that's the
right way to phrase it. But it's

683
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:46,559
expected of them to have this duty. But I don't know, is it

684
00:48:46,599 --> 00:48:51,400
a mistake that we expect that of
the players, Like we just expect them

685
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,800
to bag up these final three and
to just go through the car wash of

686
00:48:53,800 --> 00:49:00,480
interviews. That's what we expect.
But I also feel like, no,

687
00:49:01,519 --> 00:49:10,079
because it's not it's I think it's
different than sports just because that's salary driven

688
00:49:10,119 --> 00:49:14,320
and they're getting paid so much money
to show up and play, and you

689
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,440
know, they have contracts that might
have media stuff in them where they have

690
00:49:16,519 --> 00:49:20,960
to do certain things and this and
that and whatever. You know, that's

691
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,400
not how poker is. And I
I mean, I know they all sign

692
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,119
a waiver that says like, you
know, you have to be on TV

693
00:49:25,199 --> 00:49:28,000
and you have to do this and
you have to do that. But like,

694
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,639
I don't know. I guess I'm
very appreciative that they take their time

695
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:37,199
to fucking talk with us, but
also I feel bad while doing it and

696
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:43,559
like pressing it on them. So
anyway, huh, Rantov, Well,

697
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,360
I just it's not really a rant. It's just like how I feel,

698
00:49:45,639 --> 00:49:49,360
you know, Like I can't just
like go in there and jam a microphone

699
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,559
in someone's face when like I know
that they, like these guys are locked

700
00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:55,280
in. They want to get home
and get down to business, get some

701
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,519
rest, and come back the next
day, you know, and they're not

702
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:04,039
thinking about the other stuff. Thankfully, I think you and I are pretty

703
00:50:04,039 --> 00:50:06,800
blessed in that we have good rapport
with a lot of the players. So

704
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:08,880
they see us and they're like,
Okay, I know him, I know

705
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,400
his face, he's been around,
so I'm willing to talk with them.

706
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,880
But yeah, listen, I'm just
trying to be honest about how I feel

707
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,199
about the situation, and I'd be
lying to everyone out there if I said,

708
00:50:19,199 --> 00:50:22,800
you know it. At times it
makes me want to almost walk off

709
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,760
the stage and not bother these guys
for more. And then tomorrow with the

710
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,599
winner, I mean, it's gonna
be even worse. Yeah, right,

711
00:50:28,639 --> 00:50:30,199
you know, there's gonna be three
thousand people trying to get an interview with

712
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:36,039
him afterwards. That said, So
first up, I talked with Nicholas Ostetz.

713
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:37,880
He actually said, hey, why
don't you walk with me so that

714
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,400
I don't have to so that no
one else stops. And I said,

715
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,440
yeah, let's go walk and talk. So we did a little walk and

716
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,000
talk with the chip leader entering the
second day of the final table Nicholas Ostet

717
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,840
aka Lena nine hundred. All right, Nicholas, I really just want to

718
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,000
ask you about the one hand with
Brian Kim the King six hand, because

719
00:50:55,159 --> 00:50:59,280
I don't know if you notice that
in his bust out interview he said that

720
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:01,960
when you peeled your cards to him, it looked like you were about to

721
00:51:02,039 --> 00:51:06,320
fold, and then you came with
the foe bed. Were you ever going

722
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,719
to fold or was that just maybe
a mistake on his part. I was

723
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,400
never going to fold the hand.
Now. I peeled my hand, looked

724
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,559
in my hand maybe a few times, which I normally probably don't do,

725
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,719
so maybe that was something he picked
up. But no, I was never

726
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,519
folding the hand. The consideration was, yes, if I was gonna have

727
00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:24,679
for bed or go all in.
Basically, how you feeling overall? I

728
00:51:24,679 --> 00:51:27,880
mean, I know this is a
bit of a different setting than which you

729
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,719
might be used to playing online,
you know, having ten twelve, however,

730
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,280
many tables up here, it's like
kind of a rowdy, crazy atmosphere.

731
00:51:34,599 --> 00:51:37,719
Do you still feel at home at
the poker table? Before today and

732
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,920
after and in between? It's like
when I get a little butterflies in my

733
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,599
stomach when I sit at the table
there is nothing. Then It's just like

734
00:51:44,679 --> 00:51:47,440
that caled me down every time.
But leading up to today, everyone flying

735
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,559
in all the expectations. Of course, I was a bit you know,

736
00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:53,159
I had butterflies in my stomach before
starting, But as soon as cars were

737
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:58,679
in the air and I was playing, it was all good. Now,

738
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,800
chipleyed, entering the second three players
left, are the expectations to basically win

739
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:07,239
or bust. No, I don't. I always just try to play my

740
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,400
best and whatever outcome happens happens,
and I'm gonna be fine with it,

741
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:15,039
you know. But to not win
wouldn't tilt me. To play bad would

742
00:52:15,039 --> 00:52:17,159
tilt me. So I'm going to
try not to play bad. That's it.

743
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,400
You heard it there, Ostet said. You know, he was never

744
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,360
folding the tens, but I did
want to ask him because that, you

745
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:28,159
know, of what Brian Kim said
in his exit interview that you heard earlier

746
00:52:28,519 --> 00:52:31,639
with Jeff Platt where he thought he
might have like saw something from Nicholas Osted

747
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:37,880
or possibly had a slight live read
on him or whatever. So did want

748
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:43,000
to ask Nicholas Osted about that,
and listen, this guy seems pretty locked

749
00:52:43,039 --> 00:52:45,960
in. I would almost like start
preparing that he's gonna be the next world

750
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,840
champion. It's not running him out. I mean, why not, right,

751
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:52,719
I mean, he's it in a
way, it's kind of fitting that

752
00:52:53,719 --> 00:53:00,840
the greatest tournament poker player ever wins
the greatest poker tournament ever. Yeah,

753
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,320
that's just kind of that's just kind
of awesome. I mean God wins God

754
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,960
tournament with something something. Yeah,
I mean he's he's he's for sure one

755
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,239
of the goats. I know we
throw that word around all over the place,

756
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,039
but I think also like you see
it when you see other quote unquote

757
00:53:17,039 --> 00:53:21,159
goats saying that he's the goat,
that's when you know, you know,

758
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,599
that's when you know. Can you
see that a lot on social media?

759
00:53:23,679 --> 00:53:29,360
So, Nicholas ostedt Aka Leena nine
hundred more than forty eight million dollars in

760
00:53:29,519 --> 00:53:35,239
online tournament earnings. I wonder what
that would translate to in live tournament earnings

761
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,679
probably like one hundred and seventy five
million, because like when they say,

762
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,599
like when they say like okay,
you play, you play, you go

763
00:53:40,639 --> 00:53:44,400
play, you go play six tournament
at the win the opener of the Win

764
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:47,199
series, it's like playing a four
dollars tournament online. I think that's the

765
00:53:47,199 --> 00:53:51,519
same type of rule, like a
zero, like a fifty I used to

766
00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:54,280
play when I used to, So
you're just your forty four eight million,

767
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,800
No, because I used to when
I used to be a online planner,

768
00:53:59,039 --> 00:54:02,119
I would only the biggest buying on
play was the fifty five on Stars,

769
00:54:02,679 --> 00:54:06,719
but that was probably pretty tough.
Yeah, it is very tough. I

770
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,320
mean except for this obviously, Stars
is probably like a one k. Yeah,

771
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,679
yeah, like like a fifteen.
I was going to say, it's

772
00:54:12,679 --> 00:54:16,199
actually no, the fifty seven Stars, it's probably like the twenty five hundred

773
00:54:16,199 --> 00:54:19,920
dollars n all of the series.
It's not even if I think it's that

774
00:54:20,039 --> 00:54:22,760
yes, because that's like hot I
took second and that's to get like the

775
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:27,800
like the Christian Hearders of the World
that are like twenty five would be like

776
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,440
a fifteen hundred deep Stacks or something. I think no way, No,

777
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,960
I don't think it's twenty five.
No. If I can take second of

778
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:37,920
the two k, the two k
and you find you can have the two

779
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,960
knl, I'll give you that.
We'll middle it. Yeah, fifteen hundred

780
00:54:43,039 --> 00:54:47,360
is like und like like a prime
or something like that, not a random

781
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,760
fifteen hundred. The fifty five almost
when we get back. But that's what

782
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,079
I'm saying is that the money is
so different online to live now. Of

783
00:54:55,119 --> 00:55:00,480
course the online stuff you can get
a ship on a volume and you can

784
00:55:00,559 --> 00:55:07,480
rack all. Yes, but still, I mean to eclipse that or to

785
00:55:07,519 --> 00:55:12,239
get that high forty eight million online
is fucking incredible. It's absolutely incredible.

786
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,880
So shout out to Nicholas Ostatt and
he's the chip leader entering day two of

787
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:22,039
the Final Table. Second in chips
we have Jonathan Tomayo also caught up with

788
00:55:22,159 --> 00:55:25,639
him afterwards. He was nice enough
to chat with me. All right,

789
00:55:25,679 --> 00:55:30,679
Jonathan Tomo, you just made the
second day of the Final Table Final three,

790
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:36,199
coming in, did you have expectations
of reaching it this far? Like,

791
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,400
what was your mindset coming into the
first day of the Final Table And

792
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,800
realistically I was going to finish sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth for a

793
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:47,760
lot like after that, it's kind
of gravy, you know, And it's

794
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,480
one of those that if it happens, I'm in the spot and we'll do

795
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,199
that at this point, So and
we're here. As the table progresses,

796
00:55:55,199 --> 00:55:58,920
people start busting out. You know, when did it start to kind of

797
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,760
change your mindset? Saying okay,
like I got a shot to make that

798
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:06,079
next day? Are you playing?
Never really enters your head. Now.

799
00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:08,920
I can think about it a little
bit before, you know, dinner or

800
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,840
bed or whatever. But then there's
still one more day at work, so

801
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:19,320
I can do whatever I want after
tomorrow, but I can I can focus

802
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,119
for one more day, an they
immediate aftermath? Are you happy with your

803
00:56:22,119 --> 00:56:25,320
play? You think everything worked out
how you expected it to. I didn't

804
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:32,239
play perfect, but it went better
than unexpected? Is the King six was

805
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:37,000
probably a mistake, but I got
away with it. So anytime you get

806
00:56:37,039 --> 00:56:40,519
away with one, you're elated.
And then what's the plan for tonight going

807
00:56:40,559 --> 00:56:45,159
into tomorrow? Uh, dinner,
some rests, think about some hands,

808
00:56:45,199 --> 00:56:50,119
and then we back out tomorrow.
Same same old thing, like, same

809
00:56:50,119 --> 00:56:52,280
old thing like today. All right, that was tomorrow? You heard him

810
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:57,199
there say that you know, maybe
the King six off call was probably a

811
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,679
mistake, but yeah, I just
thought it was interesting with tomorrow where you

812
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:07,039
know, you got the sense from
him that not only speaking to him yesterday

813
00:57:07,079 --> 00:57:09,199
after play, but also after seeing
the Queen Queen fold, that it was

814
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,679
very much in his mind to just
start lattering up. So then at some

815
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,320
point it asked to be like,
Okay, I have an actual shot here.

816
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,039
I got a lot more chips,
there's fewer people at the table,

817
00:57:20,679 --> 00:57:23,000
some people have busted out, and
it hasn't been me like I'm going to

818
00:57:23,079 --> 00:57:27,320
go for it now. So anyway, good to get some good insight there

819
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,000
from Tomaile and we'll see what he
can make happen tomorrow on or sorry today

820
00:57:31,159 --> 00:57:37,079
on day two of the final table. And then last Jordan Griff the only

821
00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:43,360
amateur at this final table. Everyone
else, as I said yesterday, had

822
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,679
listed themselves as a professional poker player
except for Griff. He's one of nine

823
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,760
in that regard. He is a
supply chain manager. He has a nine

824
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,760
to five job. You even hear
him in this upcoming interview that I'm about

825
00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:00,440
to play where he says I'm the
amateur. Right, So anyway, I

826
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,880
thought he played really well at this
final table so far. He came in

827
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,920
with the chip lead, he finished
higher from where he started in terms of

828
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,519
chips. He's three of three.
Yes, But also, as we talked

829
00:58:12,559 --> 00:58:16,480
about earlier, these players are pretty
close in stacks, so really anything can

830
00:58:16,559 --> 00:58:22,480
happen on the second day of the
final table. And here is Jordan Griff.

831
00:58:22,039 --> 00:58:24,639
All right, Jordan Griff, you
came in with the chip lead,

832
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:30,519
now you're in the final three.
It did you really have expectations if I

833
00:58:30,559 --> 00:58:36,679
need to make that second day?
Well, it wasn't that I needed to

834
00:58:36,719 --> 00:58:38,440
make the second day, but you
know, first has always been the goal.

835
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:44,760
I'm trying to balance the decisions of
page jumps versus going for the glory,

836
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,679
going for the goal, going for
it all. And I know it

837
00:58:47,719 --> 00:58:52,920
was always a possibility, but now
it's it's becoming a reality, and I

838
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:58,320
still can't believe it. You say
you still can't believe it is the is

839
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,440
the moment really, say? Possibly? Wane on you getting to you or

840
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,280
are you still like very focused in
the moment with the task at hand.

841
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,719
I'm very focused, and it actually
is surprising me myself. I remember his

842
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:14,239
Day seven was the first day I
got put on a future table and I

843
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:15,960
remember seeing the lights being miked up
and thinking, oh my god, I'm

844
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,760
gonna be so nervous. I'm gonna
have so many tells. And I got

845
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,760
to the table and I was just
in the zone, like I didn't feel

846
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,639
it at all. I was just
very focused on every hand at play.

847
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:30,079
I think I chipped up like double
in the first level that I was playing

848
00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:32,679
under the lights. And it's been
like that ever since. I felt very

849
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:37,400
calm, very at ease and at
home playing on these tables, and it's

850
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,760
just it's the most amazing thing.
You've had some pretty memorable hands throughout this

851
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,880
whole events. Is there is there
one that sticks out better than all the

852
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:50,159
others? Wow? I mean I
think there are two of them. For

853
00:59:50,199 --> 00:59:53,480
sure. One is going into yesterday
the Queens versus three is on the very

854
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:59,119
first hand, spiking the two outer
on the river and then coming into ten

855
00:59:59,199 --> 01:00:02,840
handed and getting the quads versus straight. Those two, for sure stick out

856
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:07,719
in my mind as just incredibly huge
chance. There's now just two two players

857
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,639
between you and ten million dollars and
the goal bracelet. How do you think

858
01:00:10,679 --> 01:00:15,719
you stack up against the other two? I mean, I know for sure

859
01:00:15,719 --> 01:00:20,639
that they are more studied, more
experienced players. You can tell that from

860
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,880
the cases, and I'm sure people
watching can even tell that. You know

861
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:30,280
they're tournament pros. But I'm going
to try and use my image to my

862
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:37,039
advantage and understand what they think of
me, Understand how I think I'm playing

863
01:00:37,079 --> 01:00:38,760
and how they think I'm playing,
and try to use that to my advantage.

864
01:00:39,079 --> 01:00:42,440
I think there's a lot of spots
I've taken over the last few days

865
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,639
that people wouldn't expect an amateur player
like myself to make, and I've made

866
01:00:46,639 --> 01:00:52,079
them just knowing that pro wouldn't think
I'm capable of it. I think he

867
01:00:52,559 --> 01:01:00,159
gives me the impression. It's a
combination for him of recognizing who he is

868
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:05,039
and how he's viewed at the table, hence the amateur comment, and also

869
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,440
playing his game and doing what he
thinks is right. And I think so

870
01:01:09,559 --> 01:01:14,760
far it has worked out for him, of course, and I don't think

871
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:19,360
he should do anything different than he's
already done. It's clearly working. So

872
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,880
just play your game. You know, Yeah, you might not be the

873
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,280
pro, but that doesn't mean anything
because anything can happen at the table.

874
01:01:25,639 --> 01:01:29,239
So many of us are equals as
long as we have the buy and so

875
01:01:29,719 --> 01:01:31,000
go get after it. Man,
That's what i'd say to you. I

876
01:01:31,039 --> 01:01:36,400
got one more thought. We need
to go back to a theater for the

877
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:44,000
Final table. The theater setting is
incredible. Now November nine I don't think

878
01:01:44,039 --> 01:01:47,719
works. Okay, November nine,
October nine, whatever the heck you want

879
01:01:47,719 --> 01:01:52,519
to call it or do. I
don't think that works, just because it's

880
01:01:52,599 --> 01:01:55,199
just too long. And there's this
I think there's this misconception that like,

881
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,559
if you delay it, you can
really hype it up with mainstream media.

882
01:02:00,119 --> 01:02:02,480
The mainstream media don't care. I'm
sorry, they just don't. Okay,

883
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:07,280
unless it's Daniel Legrand you they ain't
gonna care. I like how it's done

884
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,159
now, where you have that day
off. I could even say at times

885
01:02:09,199 --> 01:02:13,719
you could have two days off if
you wanted to, just kind of depending

886
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,800
on you know, where it's sat
in the schedule. I would just try

887
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:19,360
and align the Final Table with what
I thought was the best days. I

888
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,159
know we've talked about him before,
No, not Monday, Monday, Tuesday,

889
01:02:23,079 --> 01:02:24,920
So that's what I would try and
do. So if that that means

890
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,599
you have to have two days off
before or one day off before whatever you

891
01:02:28,599 --> 01:02:30,880
want to do. I think you
can make that happen. I got multiple

892
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:35,000
issues with the theater though, hold
on, okay, I'll hold on.

893
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,519
I think the theater is elite.
I think it does. I think it

894
01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:45,000
does two things. One, it's
just an absolutely elite setup. Yep,

895
01:02:45,079 --> 01:02:50,400
you can't. You can't watch poker
when you're on the same plane as the

896
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,079
table. The theater with like the
stadium seating that goes up and you can

897
01:02:54,119 --> 01:02:59,679
look down flanking the stage. You
can have big monitors. That is the

898
01:02:59,679 --> 01:03:02,199
best set. Everyone can have their
own little section. I think that is

899
01:03:02,199 --> 01:03:07,360
so great. Also, we know
that every single year on our production that

900
01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:12,920
we can't use the mainset because they're
setting it up for three or four days

901
01:03:13,159 --> 01:03:17,159
for the full production. Well,
if you're setting that up in a theater

902
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:22,840
that is somewhere else, you can
then use this throughout. So that's another

903
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,159
benefit that I think. So that's
what I got. Tell me, why

904
01:03:25,239 --> 01:03:30,039
you tell me why it wouldn't work, Let me have it. Number one.

905
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,639
Production wise, that means we need
to move set up. We need

906
01:03:32,639 --> 01:03:37,519
a second setup in this theater of
yours, this imaginary theater. Point two,

907
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,079
which theatre we're going to use the
Jubilee one. Then we did the

908
01:03:39,079 --> 01:03:42,360
Doyl Bronson Celebration of Life. I
don't know. I'd have to see how

909
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,000
big it is. It would be
tough to get what you're trying to achieve.

910
01:03:45,199 --> 01:03:47,639
I get, but it's actually small
and panetellism. Maybe it works.

911
01:03:49,199 --> 01:03:54,639
Third, there was complaints today from
multiple people and from WSP stuff, Polka

912
01:03:54,679 --> 01:03:59,800
Go stuff. Where the hell was
the ryo? Now you aren't here watching

913
01:04:00,199 --> 01:04:03,159
because you're sitting in the commentry with
but the rail was definitely not full.

914
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,719
You know, everyone was given that
ten risk bands. That was not well,

915
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,559
that was one problem. Ten ristbands, that's one problem. Why there

916
01:04:09,599 --> 01:04:11,760
wasn't a rail. No, no, I'm saying not. You only get

917
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,039
ten risks. It wasn't so it
wasn't didn't have the ninety people in there,

918
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,320
didn't have that ninety. It happened
at seventy. So we started giving

919
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:21,760
more act to Philly. I would
bet that it had very close, if

920
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:27,199
not ninety, for sure, Okay
to start to start. Of course,

921
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,719
my thing with that is that,
okay, they give out ten wristbands per

922
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,079
player, ninety seats, okay,
and then of course you know it's probably

923
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:38,320
the capacity of one hundred or one
hundred and five or something like that,

924
01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:42,400
and then you have ten to fifteen
for like staff when there's camera crews that

925
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,360
want to go back there, stuff
like that. Okay, they weren't even

926
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,920
letting media back, I know,
which was weird, but okay, yeah

927
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:54,079
it was a fa Now when Daniel
Legron you won the fifty k PPC,

928
01:04:54,639 --> 01:04:59,440
there was six hundred people on that
stage. You could not move on that

929
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:05,800
stage. They didn't care about it
then, right, I mean, yeah,

930
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,559
I mean what I don't understand.
I don't know, man, I

931
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,159
listen. I understand that the main
event is bigger, you expect more people

932
01:05:14,239 --> 01:05:16,400
to come out all that sort of
stuff, But like when you get into

933
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,239
Granny or an Ivy or a Helmut
final table, there's no wristbands. It's

934
01:05:20,239 --> 01:05:24,119
just as a free for all is
there's six hundred people on the stage,

935
01:05:24,519 --> 01:05:28,280
climbing all over each other, standing
on seats like. There was people literally

936
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,039
standing on seats at the top level
of like the back row of seats when

937
01:05:31,119 --> 01:05:34,079
the Granny's Final Table was happening,
like, and no one seemed to care.

938
01:05:35,039 --> 01:05:39,760
Like, I just don't understand.
It's not as important as the main

939
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,400
event obviously. I mean I think
you could have let more people up there.

940
01:05:43,599 --> 01:05:45,840
Yes, I will definitely say that
the rails were not as fun.

941
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,679
The Bulgarian rail was fucking lit that
place. With that, those guys were

942
01:05:49,679 --> 01:05:53,119
awesome. Siame Street could have been
a lot better. That was a bit.

943
01:05:53,599 --> 01:05:56,920
I thought that was gonna come with
some hate. Yeah, and see

944
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,119
I don't I expected nothing from Brian
came and Nicholas I said that so zero.

945
01:06:00,199 --> 01:06:03,440
I mean I after I did my
commentary stint for the first hour on

946
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:08,000
the preview, I hopped into the
Brian Kim rail. They didn't have anything

947
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,119
prepared. I mean they just didn't. They didn't have any songs prepared,

948
01:06:11,199 --> 01:06:14,280
any chance prepared, like they were
trying to figure them out on the fly

949
01:06:15,239 --> 01:06:17,639
and it just it wasn't working right. I mean it's hard. Thankfully,

950
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,239
if I ever make a big final
table, I know I have people in

951
01:06:21,239 --> 01:06:28,320
my life that are big soccer fans
and big into this. Shout out producer

952
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:32,480
Rich Ryan, who will lead the
chance. I would I would be willing

953
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,599
to bet that if I ever made
the final table. Like let's say I

954
01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:39,360
made a final It doesn't it doesn't
have to be. It could be any

955
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:43,159
fucking w SP event. If I
make the final table, Rich Ryan would

956
01:06:43,199 --> 01:06:49,440
email song chance to everyone. The
next day, he'd have them printed out,

957
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:56,599
ready to go with the American Outlaws
due for the US men's national soccer

958
01:06:56,639 --> 01:06:59,480
team. Like that's what would happen. We'd have the chance, we'd be

959
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:03,000
ready to go. Everything would be
organized, like, yeah, can I

960
01:07:03,159 --> 01:07:05,400
okay, let's let's be honest.
I'm not gonna make it has to be

961
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:10,239
fun title I'm not good enough.
I understand removal of the six o' clubs,

962
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:14,360
but if I did, I want
to read this story from our boy,

963
01:07:14,559 --> 01:07:18,079
our kangaroo cru lead manber Joe.
He tweeted that one hour ago,

964
01:07:18,719 --> 01:07:24,400
no better chance than Azzy Uzzy Uzzy. These guys got nothing on us.

965
01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:27,000
That's if I make it. You
didn't even need to plan any chance.

966
01:07:27,039 --> 01:07:30,639
All you gotta do is just go. That's it. Yeah, I mean

967
01:07:30,639 --> 01:07:33,360
that's good. That's good. I
had no idea what the Bulgarians were saying,

968
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,480
but the chance sounded awesome. It
was also just the reactions from them

969
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:41,000
too. They were very passion Yeah, of course, and and that can

970
01:07:41,079 --> 01:07:45,159
also lead to, you know,
some of the negative stuff that you see

971
01:07:45,159 --> 01:07:47,679
about this Year's Final Table, you
know, because you can kind of because

972
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:53,960
so much of it is the atmosphere. And if the atmosphere is crazy and

973
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:58,559
there's chanting back and forth and people
are going nuts, then I think it

974
01:07:58,599 --> 01:08:03,960
can be really good. One thing
I will say about the Bulgarian rail and

975
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:09,320
I don't know if this is a
bad thing towards them or a good thing

976
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:14,599
towards them. Maybe it's a little
bit of both. But every time someone

977
01:08:14,679 --> 01:08:17,920
else started chanting, another rail,
they started chanting, and they were ten

978
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,399
times louder than that. How you
do it? They But even if Boris

979
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:26,239
Angelov was not in the hand.
But what I'm saying, okay, I

980
01:08:26,319 --> 01:08:30,000
understand. But what I'm saying is
that so that's the good part for them

981
01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:32,479
is that, yes, it makes
them the powerful rail. They are the

982
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,079
loudest voices. They can get behind
their guy the best and provide the most

983
01:08:36,079 --> 01:08:40,439
support. That way, yes,
positive for them. The negative for them

984
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:45,159
is it's a negative for the Final
Table atmosphere because no one else is able

985
01:08:45,199 --> 01:08:53,279
to generate anything else. Like once
once the Brian Kimrall heard them doing that,

986
01:08:53,279 --> 01:08:56,880
that Brian Kimerraill would just give up
on their chance and I'm well,

987
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,359
yeah, but that's what happens.
But like I'm saying, I'm saying,

988
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:04,359
they didn't even let anyone else get
going. And I think in almost in

989
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:08,319
like spirit of competition, you want
to kind of let others get going because

990
01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:11,399
then you can go back and forth
and then it's like super fun. Right,

991
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,239
And we've seen plenty of the back
and forth before, or not necessarily

992
01:09:15,239 --> 01:09:16,520
back and forth going at each other, but like they each kind of take

993
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:20,720
turns. We've seen that before,
and that's when it's the best, that

994
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:27,279
the worst, That's what I mean. The worst rail today was the Spaniards

995
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:30,600
rail Gonzales Israel. He had like
six people. They're barely chanting. I

996
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:39,880
mean, he should be for a
European yes, should be nuts. So

997
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,199
yeah, so I thought the rails, you know, weren't the best,

998
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,039
which you know can lead into the
fact that it's like the lack of atmosphere

999
01:09:47,199 --> 01:09:50,359
like all that sort of stuff.
So what are those things that the the

1000
01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:54,520
Bozelas, we should just bring them
for the right? Didn't they like outline

1001
01:09:54,600 --> 01:10:00,359
outlaw them here when the Brazilians happen
everywhere, they'll be poplar production authorized so

1002
01:10:00,399 --> 01:10:04,079
people can use him. Yeah,
I mean, I'll bring one of those

1003
01:10:04,079 --> 01:10:09,079
cool rail Yeah. I wish the
rails were better this time around, and

1004
01:10:09,239 --> 01:10:13,119
maybe they'll get they'll get crazy tomorrow, who knows, you know, I

1005
01:10:13,159 --> 01:10:15,960
mean, Tomorrow's got a rail over
there, Nicholas aust At. You know,

1006
01:10:16,079 --> 01:10:21,399
I think Israel started smaller and grew
as we went. And I think

1007
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:25,680
he's gonna have a few more people
even coming in tomorrow. I mean,

1008
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,359
I know because there was a few
Swedes at dinner with us that are Brad

1009
01:10:29,399 --> 01:10:31,359
Pitt's coming. Yeah, Brad Pitt's
coming. Is Brad Pitt even Swedish?

1010
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,279
I mean he's American, but is
he like, does he have Swedish descent?

1011
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:39,640
Like he's the celebrity we talked about
and then Griff had a very small

1012
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,199
rail. But I think you often
see that. I think you saw it

1013
01:10:43,279 --> 01:10:51,439
with George Holmes in that when the
player is an amateur, then the fans

1014
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:56,279
of that player are even more amateur, if that makes sense, Like they

1015
01:10:56,319 --> 01:11:01,239
don't like, they don't know how
to root for poker, which is weird

1016
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,119
for me to say, you know, because I just don't understand that because

1017
01:11:04,119 --> 01:11:08,239
I'm in poker and I you know, it's not their fault. Like whatever.

1018
01:11:09,359 --> 01:11:12,479
So you know, if you're if
you're like a regular person who might

1019
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,680
play poker here and there, you
take a shot in the main vetter or

1020
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,560
whatever, and then you invite all
your friends, you're not inviting like a

1021
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:21,199
ton of poker friends. Whereas if
let's say I make the volent table,

1022
01:11:21,199 --> 01:11:25,039
I'm inviting my friends. They're all
fucking poker people, you know, so

1023
01:11:25,079 --> 01:11:30,159
they understand the moment what's happening.
So but we'll see. I expect tomorrow

1024
01:11:30,199 --> 01:11:33,880
for the Swedish rail for Leena nine
hundred Nicholas Haste to be the biggest.

1025
01:11:34,199 --> 01:11:39,600
I think Jonathan tomorrow to Miles rail
will be the second biggest, and then

1026
01:11:40,239 --> 01:11:43,439
Griff will come in third there.
But yeah, I think the rails overall,

1027
01:11:44,199 --> 01:11:45,840
you know, weren't the best this
year. But yeah, but I

1028
01:11:46,039 --> 01:11:49,520
I do really think we need a
theater setting. I don't know, I

1029
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:54,920
know what's available here at Horseshoe with
that Jubilee theater. Is there a theater

1030
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,399
at Paris? There has to be
a theater at Paris. I'm actually not

1031
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,319
sure. I mean, I feel
like there should be a theater and it

1032
01:12:03,359 --> 01:12:08,319
should be in a theater. I
think the theater setting is just so so

1033
01:12:08,319 --> 01:12:10,800
so good for this sort of thing. Just I know, the Pent and

1034
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,560
Teller Theater was obviously the best.
I mean, that was nice and big,

1035
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,199
but that was so much fun.
Man, that was so much fun

1036
01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:19,199
because then you can also pack a
bunch of people in there, like you

1037
01:12:19,239 --> 01:12:23,920
don't have to worry about the wristband
so much. Like it's just great.

1038
01:12:24,119 --> 01:12:27,279
The crowd shots of when the jib
goes out into the crowd and up all

1039
01:12:28,079 --> 01:12:31,239
