story of the WSP. We've had some absolutely elite headlines so far. This
one Daniel Negron, you finally, finally, finally, finally I mentioned it
at the top. I'm gonna mention it again. Ten years, eight months,
five days since he last won WSP gold. He gets number seven.
He takes home his favorite poker tournament, the tournament he wants to win,
or wanted to win, I should say, let me correct myself, wanted
to win above all else, the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship. Negron
You takes home one million, one hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars. It
was a crazy, crazy, crazy final table. The crowd was big,
it was packed. Yeah, I mean this whole place was was wild.
You had the millionaire maker of final step of going on, You had the
fifty k PPC with Daniel at it. You had like six other tournaments I
felt like going on in here, just just crazy, crazy crazy stuff.
Daniel beat Bryce Jockey and heads up play another very good run by Bryce Yacky
in this tournament. I didn't really do it justice on yesterday's episode. I
was a bit tired, it was very late. But Bryce Jockey ran shit
again in the fifty k PPC. I mean, there's no other way to
put it. Daniel makes a straight flush. Bryce Jockey's got a full house.
I mean, just like crazy stuff happens to Bryce Jackey in the fifty
KPPC. We of course all know about that crazy triple drawhand that he played
against josh Ari back in the day. I mean, the guy just Bryce
is just an absolute beast when it comes to these tournaments. He's already won
a bracelet this year. He came so close to winning his second, but
those demons still speak. In the fifty KPPC, he does take home seven
hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars for the effort. Chris Brewer third place,
five hundred and nineteen K, Dylan Smith three hundred and sixty three thousand dollars
for him in a fourth place effort. David Benjamin first player to bust.
Today they came back with five players two hundred and sixty five K for him,
and then yesterday we lost Jeremy Osimus in sixth place for two hundre k.
We lost phil Ivy in seventh place for one hundred and fifty eight thousand
dollars. Two massive hands took place today at the final table. I mean
there was a bunch of like crazy yay HP but I'm saying that like the
two, like the two hands that will stick out the most when you remember
this night, when you remember Danielgrowney winning number seven was his double up when
he had the nine to eight four deuce against Jackey's ace as jack six or
sorry ace Jack jack. My fault seven six deuce was the board they get
all the money, and it had two hearts on it seven hearts six of
club's deuce of hearts. Daniel's got nine eight four deuce, nine native diamonds,
four deuce of clubs, so he's open ended. He's got a pair
of duces as well. Bryce Yockey with that ace ace jack jack has well
two overpairs, but you know one only plays. He also had the ace
of hearts blocker in his hand, king of diamonds on the turn, deuce
of spades comes in on the river. You could see how much Daniel wanted
it when that deuce hit the river jumped up, fist pumping, got the
double up and he was off, and then the final hand was wild too.
They get it all in in plo again. Ace Queen Jack seven for
Daniel Legrandu on the ten to seven seven to two club flop. So he's
got trips up against the nine to six three deuce for Yacky who had two
clubs in his hand. Plus he's got that nine to six working for the
gutter to the straight turn. Queen of Hearts. Daniel Legrandey turns Bryce Yacky
dead. It's over. He goes crazy. The crowd goes freaking nuts,
chanting his name. Daniel's got the Rocky shirt on. He's going into the
crowd yelling Yo Adrian looking for his wife Amanda. I mean, the whole
thing was just absolutely crazy. Jo Adrian, Joey Adrian, we did it.
I'm like, I wouldn't He teared up, Yeah, when he was
holding the bracelet. He cheered up. When he talked to dre Rene in
the interview. Did he tear up when he talked to you? Didn't,
Job, You didn't. I said this before the interview. I said,
I'm not going that direction. For this one. I want more informative.
I want I was going a different direction. I didn't want the tears.
I wasn't trying for it. Well, okay, then you don't need to
get tears every time. You gotta pick your battles, to pick the tea
battle. I mean, I listen, I was trying to bet people before
the tournament ended. I said, if he wins, he's gonna cry.
I would have bet the nar Yeah. People didn't believe me. I knew
it. You could tell. I mean, just knowing Daniel over the years,
how much this tournament means to him, in combination with the fact that
he hasn't won a bracelet in ten years, eight months. He talked about
it like all the last what four or five days in his vlog, how
much he wants to win the fifty k PPC a of all else. You
know, he's always mentioned the WS main event is its own special little thing
off to the side. But for him, where he's at in his career,
the level that he's at as a professional poker player, all that sort
of stuff, it's the fifty k PPC and nothing else, and he's done
it, He's won it. Just an absolutely incredible, incredible night. I
was in the commentary booth for most of the night doing the fifteen hundred dollars
Millionaire Maker Final table, which we'll talk about in a little bit, but
Remco and I were in the boots, so we didn't get to experience everything
that was happening. I came out at one point to go get a piece
of pizza in the back in the production room. I mean, it was
a fucking madhouse out here. I mean it was. It was crazy.
It was like WSP Main Event final table. Madhouse out here. I mean
it was fucking wild. The Millionaire Maker was out of control. They had
the three k Nolan Holdham final table. That ral was out of control,
Like you had you had to have seven hundred people in here sweating Daniel Lecrond.
It was okay, I wasn't seven hundred people, but how many people
were here? It was packed if you combine everyone, yeah, sure,
but well everyone in the room was sweating in your was there were playing a
tournament? You were sweating Daniel There was at least the rail was not that
big, right, there was probably I tried counting at one point it was
one hundred and then I was like, okay, easily on the route fifty.
So I was like, okay, there's one hundred fifty people watching in
the stands behind us, the media rode where you can see the action,
you can see the chip counts. There was at least another twenty twenty people
behind us, plus all this extra media was there, and people were coming
up from other tournaments checking out. And then as you already mentioned, we
did have the million Maker playing out. The million Maker had a result at
the same time the three K had a result, while No Grando was heads
up with Bryce Saki. At that moment, there was like it was peak
madness in here. It was there was chanting, There was just an insane
amount of yelling. Every time the Grinder won to part, the crowd hid.
Even when we Bryce Yaki want to part the other crowd, part of
the crowd shied. There was chance. For Daniel, it was just I
don't know, Like like I said at the top of the show, it
just very like electric and he like you felt on the cusp of something big,
like you know, even when the Grando was down in chips like you
know, four to one Underdog, it felt like it was just gonna reverse
it and go his way like it just it was in the air. I
don't know if that makes any sense, but that's how it felt out.
It totally makes sense. I never thought he was gonna lose, Honestly,
I know I was putting it in our in our chat for our twenty five
K team and the sweating that we do in that chat, and you know,
I mean, I just I just felt like this was it. I
mean, you can call it fucking destiny, you can call it voodoo,
white magic, whatever the heck you want to say, but I just Conadian
magic. I felt it, like in my bones that he was going to
win this tournament. Nothing was going to stop him from happening. And I
never felt it more than when I saw that he hit that Duce's spades on
the river. I was like, it's it's happening. It is one hundred
percent happening in this tournament. And it did happen. I mean, it
was just absolutely incredible. You know, Bryce YACKI had his group of supporters,
I'll say twelve people in kind of what take on this yea and kind
of like one little section yeah, and then everyone else. I mean,
you had Daniel's like friends and family. You had his wife, you had
Eric lingren See Chino Reem or Danielle Christian, Like, you had a bunch
of people. Patty was up there, you know, his assistant, Like
all these people were kind of in Daniel's little corner. But then you had
just like the general public, and they were all sweating Daniel and rooting for
Daniel, and you could hear like every time he he won, like even
like a halfway meaningful pot, you know, round of applause, cheers,
all that sort of stuff. I mean, it must have. It's it's
interesting because like I kept thinking every time I popped my head out, you
know, just seeing Daniel up there and watching him like so intently focused,
but then also watching everything that was going on around the feature table. M
hm. Like in a way, it felt like there was a lot of
pressure on him, even though like he doesn't know ninety five percent of these
people out here, but like they were, and not only that, but
the people that were watching the stream on Poker Go, Like I'm I'm sure
ninety eight percent of people were rooting for kid Poker. I mean that that's
just how it is. He's the most popular poker player in the game.
By far, So, I mean, yeah, like, what's that like
like in a way, like do you feel like you kind of let people
down if you don't come through? I don't know, but I mean I
know we're going to play the interview a little later, but I asked him
something a little bit along those lines about if the crowd the people, yeah,
you know, you know, how did that kind of affect his play
and you know, did a boost him? I mean he said, like,
you know, it did bring him some joy that you know, the
people that are along for the riot, whether it's watching every vlog, whether
it's buying actually on poker stake. You know, in a way, it's
like kind of like he won this place for him and for them, you
know, like he feels like joy that you know people are watching his stuff
and you know he can win some people a little bit of money. So
I think, yeah, there is pressure, but I feel like maybe it
was a little bit of motivation too, bit a little bit of extra bump
to get him over the line. Very true. Let's just throw it to
that interview that you did with him now post win, post seventh World Series
of Poker Gold Bracelet. Here's Tim with Daniel Negron you, Daniel, congratulations
seventh WSP bracelet. I want you to grab that bracelet right there, and
I want you to think about what does that mean to you? Right now?
You have relief? Joy? What's going through your heads? Both actually
but relief first. You know, you brought up the word relief because it's
been so long. You know, when you start to see everybody else winning
five, winning six, and you're like, you know, you've come a
has been in the conversation, you know where it's like everyone has six now,
you know, so to have seven that puts you in a new tier,
you know, with John Hennigan and you know, on my way back
to where I feel like I'm supposed to be in the ten eleven rays.
I think this number is probably been floated around by a lot of the media.
But you know, thirty nine hundred days or so since you won the
twenty five k high Roller WSP year, if we would have gone back in
a time machine right now, back to that day and I said to you,
hey, you're not going to win another bracelet until twenty twenty four,
but it's going to be the fifty k PP. Would you being okay with
that? No? No, because I would have hoped in ten years,
I've wanted a couple of times. Yeah, yeah, no, no,
I mean obviously this one is special, but like I wouldn't want to relive
all the second place finishes that I had, Like I felt like it was
like ten in a row or something like that, and you know the anxiety
and stress of that. Just to be over it and you know, get
all the chips in the end, win the all ends. It's just like
it's just a massive relief. I want to know, you've talked about how
important the fifty K is to you. Is this well any bracelet ever tough?
This one? There's only one of course, the main event, like
the World Series to Poket the main event. But like, as far as
you know, the games that I love to play, these are in I
love mixed games. I always have been more of a mixed game specialist that
also can play no Limit hold them you know below. So for me,
like I remember actually just watching some of the great players and realize, you
know, there's some things I can improve upon, Like they're just they're being
a little a little sharper in some spots like that. So I'm like I
came into this urnam and saying, Okay, let's be really sharp and be
really thoughtful and not just like do what you're you know, like all you
have to call here, Well, no, think deeply. And I did
that, and I think every time I did go in the tank, for
the most part, I think I made the right decision, you know.
I mean there's a lot of oid. I always lot to talk about Phil
helm with sitting on top bracelets. You know, now you have seven,
But the one thing you have over him is that you are the leader in
WSP earnings. You just passed Antonius Fondiari twenty two point four to seven.
At that million, that's a pretty strong place in WSP history to you.
What is your feelings about that place in history? And you know the WSP
being so important to Wow, that's you guys are great with the stats.
I didn't even know that, so that's pretty cool. Yeah. I'm a
video like I love video games, and this is my opportunity to be the
player in the video games. So every sort of stats or things like that
that I can elevate, whether it's PGT points, you know, it's bracelets,
it's player of the years, it's all that stuff. Like that's all
super fun to make. So to see my name on top of the winning
of the all time WSP winnings, that's pretty special. I think we've been
sitting here for maybe twenty five minutes. You've done photos, you've done a
bunch of interviews, and if you look around the rio, there's sale thirty
forty five people watching you here talk. You know, we wound it back
thirty minutes, so we had one hundred and fifty people sharing for you.
You had the whole kind of hooker community behind you. Does that like give
you a little bit of like a boost during this you know, this grolling
final table? It is too and it'll be fun. I'm thinking when the
vlog released to check some of the comments, you know, because like they
the people that you know watch the vlog or buy pieces of me on poker
stake, like they sort of live and die with the same things that I
have. So for me, it's nice to be able to share that joy
not just with those people that I bought a little piece, those that watch
and those that you know, stayed all this time to like, you know,
see it all happen. In the end. We mentioned, you know,
one hundred fifty people here, but there's a lot of people, a
lot of friends on the Rhyo up there. There was a Mandy, your
wife, and Eddie, Sabacina, Patty, they're all there. How important
is it to win in front of your friends and family? Yeah, I
sort of said this, like like when I play the World series, I'm
such a lone wolf, Like I don't I haven't had a meal with another
human being and over it. Well maybe not. Actually I did this here
for the first time. Maybe that's what changed it. I went to dinner.
But normally I'm just like a lone wolf, you know, and I
just want to do my own thing and focus. But having them all here,
and you know, because I had this weird thing where like I don't
want to burden people. We're like, I don't want you to sit here
for eight hours when much the final table, you know. But I could
tell that they wanted to be here, and he didn't. That never thought
then, that that never crossed my mind. Yeah, So that that's because
of the people that were here. I know that they were like, they're
here because they wanted to do. I believe he's your friend, but I
want to talk a little bit about David chip Race. You know this,
there is a trophy that used to be part of this event named after him.
Some people say he was one of the best players ever. Is it
an honor for you to win not only this event but the event that you
know, Chip won the first one? Yeah, because I remember when we
created s event, like I was part of the committee, you know,
the World Series of Poker where we talked about this event, and what we'd
seen at the time was Nolan Holden was just like growing like crazy, right,
So all the names in poker, like it was very difficult to see
them on tape on final tables, right because you know, there's so many
great Olima players. We thought, like, how can we create a Nolan
the final table where you know, we have names And the first one was
unbelievable. Yeah, you had Chip, Reestyle, Brunson, Phil Ivy you
know and the like, and it was just so special and the format was
a different then you know, you played Horse and then no Lomer at the
final table. But sure, yeah, Like I grew up playing cap miix
cash games and to me, this bracelet, it's like you get I think,
it's like get you get respect within that community when you can win this
one. This isn't like some dinky little super turbo. This is, you
know, the grind. You mentioned John, Hanny and earlier. You're also
tied with men Win and Billy back stuff for seven obviously handy again one one
early this year. Now, you know, you take that step up being
tied with those two guys, you know, Billy and John and looking ahead,
who's above you? Eric? Phil? Phil? You know, like,
are you now even more motivated do you think? Or is it just
same old Daniel grinding away trying to win these braces. Yeah, it's one
step at a time. Nothing changes for me. I'm still playing, you
know, like obviously today I'm done. You know, I'm not going to
be playing anything to look at you know, a day off, which is
something that I incorporated this It's just start high lower. Registration is still open
if you want to do that. Even though I love studying, obviously,
No, I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna stick to the plan that I
have, which was to get get rest when I could. And this five
days was I told her this morning. I was like I'm wrecked. Yeah,
like so mentally exact. But when you're at a final table. You're
just on adrenaline and coffee, you know, and I'll feel the crash.
But right now I'm pumped up. One of those guys I mentioned Phil Ivy,
I believe he texted him after winning. I want to know, well,
any special text that you sent to Phil Well, I just wrote one
word boom yeah, and then what else did I text him? Don't know.
We talked a little bit about it and I just said how, you
know, because he's like a stud beast right, all the stud games and
I had him on my left, which caused me a lot of problems,
you know, because I wanted to dominate these guys. But he's there,
and so like when he left, when he busted, it was like my
time, you know, and so yeah, yeah, he's a Yeah.
I wanted to let him know because he was room for me. I actually
want to call over Amanda, Patty and Christian and I've talked to Daniel about
how he's failing the joy. But I want to know you guys are all
a team right here. You know, let's start with the loving wife.
When he won that brace of what was going through you on mind? I
was choked up and I was sweating all over my entire he was sweating,
but no, I was choked up and I was so happy. I mean,
he deserves him more than anybody. Patty, you've been with Daniel for
many many years, you know, helping him out and always been around here.
What's going through your mind when he won? He's seven got goosebumps.
I literally got the goosebumps, like I felt it my bones. He was
gonna win this event, so beyond happy and well deserved. Christian, You're
here every day with him, You're filming him, you're behind the scenes,
you're playing golf with him when you can. I mean, I feel like
this is a little bit, a little bit his Pricey might have to give
him a little bit of a Bangal What do you what are your thoughts in
that one? You know, just the relief really for him to do it.
I mean it's been sixteen years since I've seen him win a bracelet,
and you know I had worked for him for a month when you won your
last one, and you know, to do it, to do it in
this event, you know, on this stage, you know, just so
happy for him, Like nobody deserves it more than him. Nobody cares about
poker more than him, and you know, what he does for this game
is incredible, and you know he deserves it. I mean it was kind
of main event winner esque with how much media, how many fans were up
there. I mean, that's the vibe you got. It's obviously a massive,
massive thing when somebody becomes the new World Champion of Poker winning the WSP
main event, and you kind of got that sense that feeling was in the
room. I mean, every media member you know was here, was on
the stage for it. There was cameras everywhere. There was you know,
dozens of microphones in his face, like all this sort of stuff. The
scrum was obviously the biggest scrum we've had. I mean, listen, Ivy
want to bracelet. Earlier this summer, he captured number eleven, but the
moment wasn't the same. That moment was big, yes, don't get me
wrong, but I think Daniel's moment is bigger because of the way that Daniel
connects with the fans and with the audience. You know, he's extremely personal
and you can you can reach him just by like walking by him in the
hallway, asking him for a photo, all that sort of stuff. He's
very open about it. He's very willing to do it. He's got his
vlog where he puts that out there every single day during the World Series of
Poker, where he's interacting with people. He's doing things like you mentioned,
selling action on Poker Steak, all this sort of stuff. Phil Ivey is
very different as a personality, and I think people then react to him differently
or approach him differently. You know, they don't They almost don't want to
go near him because they know how private and quiet and protected he is versus
Daniel, who's just like very much out there. He is in every man
right, and it's kind of crazy the way that he is being the most
popular poker player in the world as well, Like you just don't see that
from people within their specific industries or you know, within their sports or whatever.
They're the biggest, biggest, biggest in the game, but they're also
out there in the biggest way possible. I mean, he is Poker's greatest
ambassador. He has been for quite a long time. And you know,
there was you could just certainly tell just how much this win not only meant
to him, meant to Amanda, his family, but also just just the
fans of poker in general. It was wild to see. I think even
Ali Najade got a little choked up making the call in the booth when I
was listening back. I mean, he's good friends with Daniel, has known
him quite a long time. They both work with the GG Poker team together.
So you know, I'm sure that moment meant a lot to Aline Najade
as well, which I'm sure it meant a lot to everyone around the world.
It's just, I mean, it's crazy, it's been it's been a
long, long, long time coming. When I saw him right before a
year interview, he just looked at me and said, we're not done team,
meaning twenty five k Yeah, let's go. We back Daniel. Everyone
out there making fun of us drafting Daniel Lagrond who just won the damn fifty.
Let's go baby. Not only that, Daniel puts himself into striking distance
for WSIP Player of the Year, which he tries to chase every single World
Series. He's up to twenty one and thirty five points. Jeremy Osmis does
lead the way. Jeremy Osma's having an absolutely outrageously good summer, despite the
fact that Jeremy has not won a bracelet yet still absolutely crushing. No,
but Osma's leads away with twenty eight hundred and seventy nine points and uh mcgrawney
is I mean, he's one win basically from taking that lead, which is
crazy, so very much in striking distance four doubasp Player of the Year with
so much of the w SIP left to go. He also moves atop the
PGT leaderboard yes hell, sixteen hundred and forty five points, and fitting Ozmas
is right there, he's second with thirteen hundred and sixty eight points. Both
have fourteen PGT cases during the twenty twenty four PGT season. Nigran who has
two victories, Ozmas doesn't have any. And I think it's Nigranne with right
around two million MPGT winnings and Ozmas has like three point five million or something
something right around there. So yeah, I mean, just again in absolutely
crazy, crazy, crazy night all together, I mean, it's been it's
been a wild World Series of Poker. We've had John Hennigan winner bracelet,
We've had Ivy winner race that, We've had Scott sever wins two who's next
run hold on, We've had Negron. You now, who's next, Oh
boy, my boy, our boy, who couldn't couldn't turn down the opportunity
to walk his ass up on stage, of course and talk to Daniel and
get camera time. We of course talking about mister Phil Hammy. I mean
he made a found table. Yeah, Earl Chan, you know he'll get
number eighteen. It's coming. I mean, smell, that would be wild
if it happened. It's been a crazy, crazy crew, which would be
more wild him winning eighteen Johnny and winning eleven Johnny Chant. Yeah, I
mean how people get more buzzed, but like Johnny Chan is, like for
sure, yeah, would be crazy. I mean he plays like three tournaments
a year, I feel it. I mean that's the fifty k PPC.
I mean, just an absolutely enormous night for poker. I mean just you
know, you like you go on social media, you see everything. You
know, there's all these different videos of people in the stands, photos,
all that sort of stuff. You saw the raw emotion again from Daniel,
you know, tearing up. Just how much this means to him. His
vlog Tomorrow's gotta be epic, right, I mean it's just got to be
epic. He he wins the bracelet. He pulls out his vlog camera and
like everyone's chanting his name, he showing the rail. I mean, that's
got to make for a great shot. The whole thing was just iconic.
It really was. So if you missed it, you can watch the replay
of the final table on poker go dot com. I would highly encourage you
to get on there and watch it. I mean it's just it's a night
to remember. It really was, and for everyone that was here, awesome,
awesome, awesome time, really really really memorable moment. I'm never gonna
forget it. I'm sure many of you out there won't, as we should
have, off the top of your head, something that tops this moment,
that tops this back as a working member of the media, Like there's the
there's that moment where we had the Ivy heads up and the helmet heads up
at the Rio. Yeah, I mean that was massive. That was a
pretty massive bit. I mean listen in terms of like how big the moment
was Nigron you eleventh in the WSP main event, like was nothing was bigger?
Yeah, I mean that was like Ivy when he made the final table,
was big? Negron you eleventh? I mean that was like the sweat
for that was out of control, absolutely out of control. I mean,
I remember, we have to ask more about this, I think because I
remember that there was like talks about them stopping at ten instead of playing to
nine, like just just yeah, just to make it like if the annual
makes the final ten, we got to stop it because we got it because
that was Somber nine, right, Yeah, that was the November nine.
So like, I don't know if that's actually true or not. I should
ask more about it. I'm sure there was talks about it. I mean
that's just how this stuff works. I mean, we know we're on the
production team, so so yeah, it was I mean that was up there
for sure. Ivy winning number ten was also a really really big moment.
Yeah. I can't remember that one though. I mean that was crazy.
We also had to scramble to get the interview, get Remco up there,
like all that sort of stuff was was wild. I'll obviously never forget when
Gary Gates made the final time. I mean, you know, I feel
like this is like I don't know, maybe this is more of a personal
one, but the fifty k p Loo at the twenty twenty one where it
was Negrano, Helmut Osumus three handed because that kind of went for a while
three handed play and they all had the chip lead like that one. I
remember just sitting there watching like I couldn't really decide what I wanted to see
happen. Every every storyline, every possible storyline was incredible. But to me,
this one it could just be recency biased, but this one feels like
it's probably my number one, and part of it's for sure recencys and we'll
need to have this conversation at a different time and you know, really kind
of let it settle, but also kind of in a way like let us
forget about it and then we remember it. But then also you know,
I mean listen, almost eleven year drought that plays into it in a massive
faction. And again, as I mentioned, Ivy had a big drought as
well. Okay, but Ivy doesn't have that connection with the poker community like
Daniel does. Ivy's just he's a different breed of poker player and he's yes,
he's widely regarded as the goat and all that sort of stuff, but
because he doesn't connect with like the average poker fan, it's not the same
like there was a rail for Ivy, but they weren't chanting Ivy after he
exactly, like it just wasn't happening. Like Daniel's up there, They're chanting
his name, people are serenading him, fucking Daniel, Daniel, Daniel,
and he's he's showing the people in his vlog in that moment, like like
that connection is just so so so special, and there's absolutely nothing like it.
Ivy is like revered as the goat and everyone loves him and you know,
they're like he's the best, right, But there's that connection is not
there. Helmuth is completely different from both of them too. I mean,
Helmuth, Ivy and Nigron. You are the three biggest poker players in the
world, right, Helmuth is you either love him or you hate the guy,
Like so he's extremely polarized, right, And then Daniel is just he's
he's the everyman. Like he's out there playing the three hundred dollars Gladiators tournament
last year, making that run and like just having a freaking blast or the
five hundred dollars kickoff at this year's World Series of Poker, like having a
blast taking photos with people between hands, like you know, He's just that
type of dude. So that's why he just resonates so much with people and
people feel so connected to him. I also think the vlog is a big,
big thing. The vlog in the selling of action. Because you you're
sitting at home in fucking New Hampshire. Okay, you bought a piece of
Daniel on Poker State hundred bucks whatever. That doesn't mean it's a big amount
of money. Doesn't have to be a big amount of money. You're waking
up every morning his vlog drops it, you know whatever time is t yeah,
but on the East Coast it's you know, noon, and you're sweating
along. You feel like you're part of his squad, like that's what you
ultimately are. And now you are along for the ride of him winning the
biggest tournament in the world for him, Like that is just cool. That
is downright cool, you know. So yeah, it's just absolutely awesome.
Also, I need to I forgot one Nick Shulman win a race this year,
you know, like I mean Captain Coole himself, like Kean, it's
been out of control World Series of Poker. So there's one thing, you
know, I think we're about to move on to the next winner. But
one thing we should mention. You know, we went through the media circus.
I was the you know, last person to talk to him. Then
as I'm wrapping up my interview, there are still thirty people on the rail
just watching. You can't really hear what me and Daniel talking about. Maybe
you can't, but you still do. They're just basically watching this moment,
sticking around. And what does Daniel do. He gets up, He goes
to the rail, starts taking photos with everyone, starts signing things like even
after what thirty minutes of winter photos and interviews and press and all the all
the jazz, he's still trying to wind down. You know, Amanda and
all those guys are still there. He still goes to the rail and still
continues to do what everyone loves so much about him, and you know,
be be the man of the people, as we like to say. Yeah,
I mean that that's really it's that it's that connection with people in poker,
you know, like you don't have that connection with other superstars in their
respective industries. You just don't. I mean, I mean some of you
do, yes, right, but I mean nothing to this degree at all.
Nothing. No, it's really not and it's it's it's it's tremendous,
it really is. And you know, God blest Inanegronny for doing that over
the years. I'm sure it's tiring. I'm sure it wears on you.
I mean, he's he's trying to be out here winning money, be the
best player that he can be, win bracelets, et cetera, et cetera.
He's still doing the vlog every day. Yeah, I know he films
it and sends it off to his team, but he you know, he
still he's still got a film it like all that sort of stuff, Like
he still takes all these photos, sign stuff when he needs to, Like
it's not easy being kid poker, but no, I mean, he deserves
to be celebrated. It's been a long time coming for him to get this
victory. And good on him. And as he said, you know,
to me, we're not done. So hopefully he's not done, because that
would just be well, go ahead, you love to say that. Like,
you know, I think earlier in the year, earlier in the world
here he's not winning one, he's winning three. Yeah, and then he
told me he's winning five. So I don't know if we're winning five,
we're Event sixty six, We're we're on the way to win three, so
let's go. I mean, and also just just big picture, I don't
think I've had as much fun at a World Series of Poker as I have
at this one. I mean, again, could be totally recently biased,
I don't know, but like those winners that I ripped off, Hennigan is
just incredible. Scott sever winning two. You got Ivy, of course,
I mean, that's just that alone, Like if you can get Ivy winning
a bracelet. You know, now that he's back to playing the World Series
of Poker pretty much full time, I would say, you know, for
the most part, you got Nick Shulman winning one. I'll throw the Summer
of Ozma's in there. I know he hasn't won one yet, but the
Summer of Ozmas is incredible. I know Helmut hasn't done a lot yet,
but you know, I think his run in the ten case Super Turbo after
he won it the year before, finishing six place, that was a lot
of fun. He made a final table, yes, so we got that,
and then we got this Daniel Legrand you win, you know, so
all in all, this is one of the best World Series of Pokers.
I can remember, we could. We should also throws. Still a long
way to go, long way to go. Still the main event, still
a ton of big buy and stuff. So you know there's a lot that
can still happen that can even make it even better. Go ahead. I
think we should also throw in the big in Israel, to be honest,
and then I think we should throw in the million Maaker. I mean that
deves a place. Let's just yeah, let's just get into this. So
the Millionaire Maker played out today. Six players returned. Franco Spatali out of
Argentina, was the chip leader atop the final six. I mean, first
of all, the rail was wild. The rail on for for the kind
of all the players was very good, but the Argentinian rail for Spatali was
incredible. Last night when they made the final six and play was done,
they celebrated crazy and they dumped beer all over him. I love it.
That's when I knew today was gonna be bananas. They brought it today.
I mean even Maria Ho tweeted. I think she said, my brother in
law is Argentinian. Can I get this rail when I make a final table?
I mean, it was wild out there he won. I mean it
was very It was very soccer like. I mean like his celebrations were soccer
like. He hoisted the trophy like you would hoist the World Cup if you
won it. He was on his knees like just like he's just scored the
game winning goal. When he won the final hand, his rail was going
nuts. They were literally showering him with beer when he won. It was
incredible, chanting, NonStop, just wild, wild, wild stuff. This
one was on poker going on the Poker Go YouTube channel, so you can
catch this one for free if you want to go back and relive the action.
Remko Rinkima and myself were on the call. The final hand was one
of the most insanely outrageous final hands to a tournament you were ever ever ever
see, and the fact that it happened in the WSPT Millionaire Maker makes it
only that much more epic. You had justin Carrey's pocket deuces against Franco Spatali's
ace ten it went. I believe it was limp from Carrie, raise from
Spatali, jam from Carrie call it comes ten deuce. I don't know four,
So bottom set for Carrie. Top pair for Satali ace ace way.
The Americans want a deuce, the Argentinians at ten. Let's see what the
flop brings. Oh deuce to the window, A ten behind it. Justin
carry hits a set ninety seven percent now to double up to two hundred million
flop the stacks Franco Spatali in a world of hurt here and an ace hits
on the turn, opening up run a runner potential never e It's never easy.
The chance for Messi are as loud as they've ever been. That of
course the ten on his back as he carried Argentina to the World Cup.
Can Spatalite close it out? It's an ace? How the runner is he?
His Batali hits a full house and wins the bracelet and won't put two
five million dollars and beer is raining down on him. Everybody is losing their
minds. The tournament is over in the most dramatic fashion possible. It was
wild. His Batali's rail being Argentinian is chanting Messi, Messi, Messi is
MESSI wears number ten, so they wanted to come like ten ten or whatever,
or come ace ten. It ends up coming ace ace, So just
just wild, wild, wild, stuff. The way that it happened is
just nuts. I mean, I thought Justin Carrey played incredible at the final
table, and you know, I thought, I thought Franco's Batali. I
thought Justin Carey and then third place finisher Stephen Dupinase played all extremely well.
Carrie took home one million, one thousand dollars for his second place finish,
and then Dufines took home six hundred and fifty one thousand dollars for his third
place finish. So yeah, the rail was wild. The play was a
lot of fun. The final three players I thought played very very, very
well, and we had two seven figure scores from this one. You had
Justin Carrey second place, just over one million dollars, and then up top
Franco Spittally tops the field of ten thousand, nine hundred and thirty nine entries
to win his first Bicity Gold bracelet and one point twenty five million dollars.
Hope we get rails like that. I mean that rail. We talked a
lot about the big Huni rail, which was ridiculous. I mean this rael
I think rivaled it for sure, yes, versus just oh my, yeah,
that's what we need. Yeah, I mean they'll break the set.
Like I thought when they were celebrating and they were jumping up and down those
winners photos, I thought the set was gonna come questioning down. Yeah,
for sure. I mean you could hear You could hear it from where we
were. It was so freaking loud. Yeah, We're like across the room
behind like a some soundproof walls and you a TEXTA grid was like, which
which one is that? I'm like, it's Owes, It's a million.
You think it was just wild out there? Wild love to see you really
do. Sean jazz Aiary took home first place in the Super Seniors tournament.
Jazz A Yary, a WPT champion, now has a WSOP gold bracelet.
He won in the Super Seniors event three hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars.
He topped the field of three thousand, three hundred and sixty two entries.
Jazz a year. He has been around poker for quite some time. He
won the WPTLI Poker Classic back in twenty twelve for one million, three hundred
and seventy thousand dollars. He defeated you Sell min Auglu and probably butchered that
again in second place emmin Auglu known as the Mad Turk. If you look
on his send him Out profile second place for two hundred and thirty eight thousand
dollars. He was a bit mad at the final table, Like legit seemed
like he was angry at times. Paul Rungy third place Podcast Hat. Paul,
that's where we're gonna call him. This is like community because the community,
cousemus you should be known the podcast. Yeah whatever, the podcast Hat
comes through for Rungy. He takes on third place for one hundred and seventy
eight thousand dollars. A lot of fun there too. The Mad Turk had
a decent rail. Rungi had a decent rail as well, so you know,
a lot of fun in the Super Seniors event. Congratulations to Jazziary.
He was absolutely over the moon, it looked like afterwards, smiling from ear
to ear. It's been a long time coming for him to be able to
tick this one off the list after having that WPT win. Now adds a
WSP gold bracelet to his resume. Another pretty wild rail was over in the
three thousand dollars Nolan Matholden, which was right next door to the millionaire maker
Italy's Polo Boy won the event top day field of seventeen hundred and seventy three
entries to win six hundred and seventy six thousand dollars. Boys an Italian player,
so you had, you know, kind of a similar vibe to the
Argentinian rail first Batali. You know, Boy was very much the same sort
of thing for him, finishing in second place. Noel Rodriguez, second time
this summer he's gotten second. He took second, of course to Nick Schulman
in the twenty five k for one point one million dollars. He adds four
hundred and fifty one thousand dollars for the finish here. Vanessa Kaid taking home
eighth place in this tournament. She placed or she took home seventy seven thousand
dollars in prize money. Book. Congratulations to Italy's Paulo Boy for winning the
event six hundred and seventy six thousand dollars. David funkauser a name who has
been knocking at the door of winning a WSOP bracelet a few times in recent
memory. He finally got his first WSP goal bracelet. He won the fifteen
hundred dollars Nolan induced to seven single draw event. He topped a field of
four hundred and fifty three entries to win one hundred and twenty three thousand dollars.
He defeated Michelle leb Gorin in heads up play, leb Goran taking home
eighty one thousand dollars for his runner up finish. Fun Kauser's had a bunch
of deep runs at the dobas EP second, a fourth, a sixth.
I think that second was to Dan zach Zachly and then he's had another,
you know, a bunch of other like top twenty finishes, et cetera.
So kind of feels like it's been a long time coming for fun Kauser to
finally get over the hump, and he does for his first WSP gold bracelet.
At this final table, Charles Tucker finished third, always A med fourth,
Ali Islami fifth, Supang Wang sixth, and David O. dB Baker
busted out in seventh place. I think Patrick Leonard took tenth maybe if I
remember correctly, So yeah, fun one there. Overall, you know,
it was a pretty crazy day again. You know, there was multiple multiple
bracelet winners happening, chief among them Daniel Negron. You finally getting number seven
This could also maybe be something with Daniel where maybe finally like he like maybe
he just like rips off like three or four in like the next two years,
just because like he finally ended the drought. Now it's just like floodgates
are open. Let's go win a whole bunch of them. Who knows?
I mean, tell him to guy play this highlight of registration was still open.
He could have made it tonight. I don't want him in that stupid
fifty yeard dollar tournament that takes forever to what do you want to win?
Then? Isn't there like a ten twenty five? Yeah? That one?
That way, Let's go what's tomorrow? Ten K? Tomorrow is ten k?
No limit us? Perfect? How about the colusus? Maybe jumps in
the clusters? Don't want him play on that thing either? Maybe he but
like let's think about this, right, he just had a stressful five days.
Does he really want to go play something just a stressful Does he want
to like mess around in the colussus? No? I think he's going to
be feeling really good. Finally got number seven, you know, I know
it's kind of not monkey off the back because he's had them before, right,
but just given the fact that it's been almost eleven years since he won
one, I'm sure he'll go into whatever comes up next at the doubas ap
free in a lot of ways. So yeah, I expect Daniel to have
a big rest of the summer. You got to six hundred dollars Deep Stacks
that are still playing. You had the six hundred dollars Poker News Deep Stack
Championship. That's down to the final five players. Darryl Fish is at that
final table. Harrison Ashdown is there, Luke Varasso there, Hector Barry is
also at the final table, but it's Brandon Shima Moto. I think I
got that right leading the way. Fifty six million, that's ninety four big
lines. That's a pretty pretty good chunk of chips for him. There's more
than two hundred and eighty two thousand dollars up top for the winner. Looks
like these players are going to come back on Friday, June twenty eighth.
That's likely when you guys are listening to this episode, and they will play
it out to a winner. I didn't know a Deep Stacks event went four
days, but yeah, here we are. It's a good structure was it
really? I mean, I don't know. It was much better than the
other ones of the the six hundred, like the next one I'm about talk
about. Yeah, that's the other six hundred that's a two day event max
Ley registration with ten big lines, the Pucknes Deep Stack max Ley registration with
twenty big Linds. And they should do like because then they kind of bounce
around between like six hundred and eight hundred for the deep sacks, Like,
shouldn't they all be six hundred and then the championship one is eight hundred,
Like doesn't that make sense? I think they should all be the same buying,
but the championship should be just better structures. Okay, that's fair too,
But like, why do they have like eight hundred dollars ones? Yeah,
it seems kind of weird. Yeah, but anyway, whatever, it
doesn't matter. The other six hundred dollars one, the regular six hundred dollars
one is Oh, it's over. You just finished five minutes ago, Jesus
Christopher Mowen, and I'm coming in cold here. You know, I thought
I was gonna get to this page because I just put down you know,
there's two six d deep stack still playing, because I assumed I would go
through these, and you know, the one of course would have you know,
five or six players left, as it did, and then this one,
I was assuming, you know, would probably have like ten or something.
They would just come back tomorrow and had a day. But no,
Christopher Mowen wins it all. Ifven number sixty four of the twenty twenty four
Worlds as a poker, no limit hold them a deep stack, he topped
a big field. This six hundred dollars deep stack had more entries than the
six hundred dollars deep stack Championship the Poker News one by like one hundred or
two hundred entries, undred and sixty three entries. In this one. Mowen
takes home two hundred ninety thousand dollars. We'll call it Thomas Couss. Hopefully
I didn't butcher that last name. Second place for one hundred ninety two thousand
dollars, third place one hundred and forty three thousand dollars for Cheung, and
then we got fourth place August Schmrek. I probably butchered that name too.
I'm just I butchered them all. Fourth place one hundred and seven thousand dollars.
John Rickson, pretty sure I got that one spot on eighty one thousand
dollars for him in fifth place. That is the six hundred dollars and Nola
ma Holden be Stack. So that's a been number sixty four, which means
we got about thirty events thirty five events or so, left with ninety nine
on the schedule. One of those seniors high Roller, talked about this one
yesterday. It drew six hundred and eighty entries. They're still playing today they're
down to eleven. Wait, they got six hundred and eighty entries. I
didn't even know that. Jeezus, what did you think it was gonna get?
I hadn't really been paying that much attention, bro. This is the
World Series of Puts. I see that. Okay, looks like Frank Stepuchin
busted in fourteenth place, made a run there, did Stepuchin. Judith Judith
Bilan is still in. It looks like I think Angela Jordanson is still in
yet Bruno Lopez is up on top. So you have Mike Vella is out
there battling as well. So this one I don't I don't know what the
plan is for today. I mean it's it's not even pretty much. Why
we get a bag? Now, they're coming back at twelve pm with streaming
this event. Oh we are sweet. Yes at four five pm Pacific time.
More than five hundred and seventy three thousand dollars up. Top eleven players
left, so they're all guaranteed thirty four thousand dollars. It would be a
great story if Angela Jordison can finally get a World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
She had a third place finish in a one K freeze out a couple
of years ago. That's her best WSFP finish. But she's a crusher,
She's a beast and I would love to see her, you know, ultimately
end up in the winner circle. She's one of those players that she's been
doing this for quite a bit of time. She's very much deserving of it,
and it seems like it's only a matter of time before she gets her
first Dibsopiago brace and we'll she see if she can do it in the five
thousand dollars Seniors high Roller. So still some updates to come on that one,
And stay tuned here to the Pokeergo podcast because we'll talk about it as
it goes ten thousand dollars. PLO Championship ultimately finishes with eight hundred and eleven
entries, smashing last year's at seven thirty one. Every single big bet tournament,
Nolanman hold them and PLO with a ten thousand dollars buying or higher is
just crushing. They're all crushing. All the high rollers. The mixed game
tournaments, the championship ones are kind of like up down, you know,
they're kind of all over the place, bouncing around where they were last year.
But all these PLO and Nolanman hold them quote unquote high rollers are smashing,
absolutely smashing. One million, three hundred and twenty thousand dollars is the
first place prize in this one. I mean, this guy, James chen
Out of the US is just every PLO tournament. He's like near the top.
Just looking through the chip counts. They just hit the final break of
day two. Sixty eight players remain at that break, they are in the
money. Jonathan Bowers is leading the way. I mean, of course this
guy is second, and chips elis Parson, and I mean, why wouldn't
he be right, James chen Us is up there. Nicholas the stett A
Ka Leena nine hundred. Urie Reichenstein still haunts me every time I see his
name, because I think about drafting this guy every single year and I don't
pull the trigger, and it just frustrates me. Say that I'm gonna see.
Yeah, well I got Philip Bramos, Jim Calife, Noah Boken,
Vivian Saliba, Eric Wasserson, Lou Garza. That's right, sweet Lou.
Justin Smith is still in. He looks like AKA boosted Jay John Hennigan.
Could he get another bracelet? Could he won number seven? Very right this
year? Could score number eight? Bruno for Tussie Allen Lee. Yes,
that's the other one. I mean, thought about drafting him too, but
I don't think he's had a great summer, so I'm not too worried about
that one. But I am looking at this one. Stevenwick, let's go
Stevie heats on. Our team would love if we could follow up Daniels winning
the fifty k PBC with Steven Chidwick getting another bracelet in p l O,
I see Josh Aria, Marco Johnson, Kevin Gerhardt all listed in the chip
Cowns. Not exactly sure if they're still in. Hopefully they are member burns.
And of course the Kangaroo Cruiser is out there just crushing. I mean,
why wouldn't they be. Is this a three or four day tournament?
This is a four day yeah, so long way to go in this one.
You know they're gonna play another two levels. I think today they'll back
up chips, they'll come back on Friday, they'll play down to a final
table. Then they'll come back on Saturday, and that's on the final table
we'll play out streaming on Poker Go. The five hundred dollars salute two Warriors.
Where we at in this one? Level? Seventeen? Do they have
the prize bowl? They do four five hundred and seventeen entries, which is
up over last year's four thy three hundred and three. He loved to see
that. More than two hundred and seven thousand dollars up top in this event.
Just quickly touching on the chip counts, let's see if we see anyone,
Well, there's someone named Alan in the chip counts. Which job has
to be wrong? Jamie gold James, Well, then that's a legit chip
count it would have to be right. I mean, I don't recognize a
lot of these names, Michael Oscevedo. I recognize that one he and sim
I recognize that one currently listed as the chip leaders, Daniel Cordero. These
next two stacks I would think are legit because they're my Stack, Poker News,
my stack app. Listen, Poker News, my stack app. I
think I said this last year, but if you guys are playing tournament at
the World's Poker use the damn my Stack app because it helps. It does,
and you can put yourself in the chip counts and you update your own
stuff. Yeah, you don't have him to put your chip count and you
can put you know, a little notes where it says like hand history.
You know you do you do the No, I don't do anything, and
don't do any of that stuff either. Yeah. I just hammer the my
Stack app. And I get massively tilted when the reporters update my count themselves
because they're standing at least fifteen feet away from me trying to eyeball my stack,
and I know that they're not going to get it right of the time.
And here's my thing. You and I have both worked for Poker News
for a long time, Okay. I was on the team alongside Matthew Parvis.
This was essentially his brain child. But we built the mystack up.
Okay, now listen, when you're in the pocon new system, you can
see when people are my stacking. If you see my my stack and the
time stams next to it every couple of minutes, because like every time my
usual that quickly, every time my stack changes, I do, yes,
I do that much. Also because it's an easy I know that it's an
easier way. I have people that invest in me. I've talked about it
before. I don't play all my own money. It's just that's easier.
I just say, hey, follow the thing. I'll just my stack it
all the time instead of me go into like the chats and be like I
got forty seven hundred, now I got forty eight thousand. Like they can
just quickly see it in there. So it's just better that way. And
it takes all of two seconds for me to press two buttons on my phone
and that's it. That's kind of all my I don't like to be on
my phone a lot in these tournaments. I try and pay attention as much
as I can, but I'll just quickly enter the my stack and then move
on. But if you're a reporter and you see someone is actively using my
stack with a high volume, then just don't update it habit. If they
don't know that, they're just doing a chip counts post. You know they
don't. It takes all of two seconds to look there's a mystack icon shows
up next to the chip counts on the chip count page. If it's only
if you're in the back and I go back into the my stack and it's
wrong, and it's wrong, and I'm like, you have to change.
Did I miscount? No, they probably just updated I now you know what
I do? You know what? You want to know what I do?
Let them change it change. You want to know what I do When I
see them counting my chips, I put my hands over my chips and I
don't let them count them. Okay, so I do. That's what I
do. If you're not gonna know how this works such a dick, Well,
it's just annoying to me because they'll be like all five thousand and I'm
like, yeah, because you missed one chip. I get it, Like
I've done the same thing. I know. Chip guns are supposed to be
approximate. But again, when you see someone that is doing it as often
as I am. I don't tell aso many tournaments as year, but the
two I played this year, and I've had people count my chips. What
I do now is, you know, you can tell when a reporter is
counting chips right the harm staring at you. They're staring at the count.
I do now is I cut it down, like break it down so it's
like the most at like the easiest way to count. Like I'll take the
five k's, I'll put them in, you know, like I'll spread them
out. I'll spread all the chips out, or I'll put them in a
stack so that like anyone with a tiny bit of chip counting power, listen,
I've done that too. I do that now, But sometimes I just
I'm over it. I'm like, you know what, I'm my stacking,
stoff changing my account. That's what I think. So yeah, anyway,
but no, I don't put the hands in want. It just takes too
much time and I'm not trying to do that, you know too, I
don't. I don't really care if you find me in the fields. I'm
not gonna put my table on seats in so so yeah, I am curious
though, like, yeah, I would want I would want to know what
percentage of people who the people who do put hands in wonder if they tell
the truth or not. Definitely not yeah, probably not Like they lose half
their stack and they're like all lost seven Yeah, undet of seven, you
know, like that sort of stuff and then you have no proof. So
yeah, anyway, moving on, what else we got talked about the five
hundred dollars Salute two Warriors. We had twenty five hundred dollars nol them at
hold them. This thing drew twenty two hundred entries. I mean, Jesus,
that's a pretty big field. Huh. Six hundred and sixty seven thousand
dollars for first place? Good lord, Yeah, there's some they just they
just announced the prize ten minutes ago. Two two hundred and twenty nine entry
is just shy of five million dollars in the prize pool. Three hundred and
thirty five entries will be paid min cash five thousand and four dollars. Going
with that double min cash. Someone told me the other day, because you
know what, we talked about the double mind cash thing. Possibly in the
main event. They said main events one point five X, which is.
But that's the thing is that it has always it has been recently one point
five X. But we were just thinking out loud, is it's still going
to remain one point five x? Or are they going to also change it
to be two x like they've changed everything else to be two X. That's
the question. I would lean that it probably just is still one point five
X, but you never know. Things can change. YEA. Let's just
take a quick look at the chip counts here. Still still looks like they
have a long way to go to reach the money. At least this says
seven hundred remaining. So David Dong Woe dong Wu Coo co, I'm all
over the place of that name. Looks like he's leading the way using the
mystack app. So I would believe that that's that's true unless he's lying.
Nachoe Barbaro's got chips, King Lou has got chips? Who else we've got?
Julian Martini, Mike Holtz, Leo Marguetz, Kevin Rabbit Show, Neaymar
decided to show up there. He is, Kristen Foxon's out there, Steve
Buckner aka Cuz Vanessa Kaid fresh Off or eighth place finish in the three k
Anton Wig I see out there. So yeah, a lot of big names
in this one still playing today, so we'll check in on that one the
next episode. That's fine. Fifteen hundred dollars seven card stud Hi low eight
or better. Brian mike On just busted. It's like six people in the
sand. David Bakes Baker, John Turner, A J. Kelsol all in
the chip Counts look like they're doing well. Do they have a prize pool
in this one? Or they do? One hundred and fifty three thousand dollars
up top top ninety two payout six hundred and eleven entries in the field.
Christian Roberts looks to be leading the way. You got Max Spiscatory, You
got Dylan Smith, Ron ware Ak, Grumpy Matt Rapentheen, Paul Sockolov.
Who else? Joey Coodin, Sean Deeve, your boy, Sean Yu,
Chris Vich, Chat, Eve Sledge, Brandon Shack, Harris Ellie, Elezra
Phil Helmuth, your other boy. Here's your real boy. Ash Koopta is
also out there. Dario Alioto. He he grinds the my sack. He
love to see it. When he's on Team dpmc our twenty five K Fantasy
team. That's all I got, of course, obviously the huge, huge,
huge news of the day, Daniel Legron. You finally getting number seven?
Baby? It's usually is nothing. Talk about what's on tomorrow. Well,
one quick thing, I'm gonna check in Wippy Player of the Year.
I know wisip dot com is a little bit behind, like a day or
two or whatever it is in terms of getting the results in for POI,
but stand over at twenty five K fantasy dot com. Not only does he
track the twenty five K Fantasy Stuff and the ODB Fantasy and the Mark Gregorich
Fantasy, he's also tracking debasity Player of the Year now Jeremy Osmas on top
twenty eight and seventy nine points, Chris Hunikan aka Big Huni second, Scott
sever than Phil Ivy, Sean Deep Sean Deep is fourteen cashes. How is
that even a thing? John Raisner and now moving up to seventh, Daniel
mcgranu mcgonne. Yeah, seven, twenty one and thirty four points. So
yeah, it needs a pretty much a win, huh, I know it
does. Say cash is on this twenty five K fantasy dot Com website for
the ws BPOI standings. But again it's only the top ten scores from live
events and then one on time nine. Isn't the top nine from live one
on them? Yes, something like whatever it is. Yeah, I can
probably just click this link and find out. We can only use one from
online, so it could be ten and players will require a minimum five results
to qualify, limited to top ten results and a maximum of one online bracelet,
so it'll either be ten live or nine plus one one of the other.
So you got that? I mean it's just twenty five K fantasy.
Team DPMC is up to four hundred and forty seven points, twelfth place.
The Dinkers still running away with this damn thing. Them and Team Sternheim are
crushing the Dinkers eight hundred and seven points, but you know, plenty of
big events left dangers. Chidwick's gonna win the ten KPLO, Daniel's still gonna
win two more bracelets. So I think we're good, to be honest,
I think we are good, all right? What's on tomorrow Friday? Naw,
today the Ladies Championship with one K buying in that. Oh that's that's
today. That the other big event the ten Cano limitduced the seven single Droll
Championship, that's a great one. And the big baby, the four hundred
dollars Colossus. Day one a of three starting flights starting on Friday. In
the Colossus, you can re enter once per flights, so max twenty four
hundred dollars is what people can invest in this one. I might be in
there. I'm not. I'm supposed to play tomorrow, but I might not.
To be honest, dude, I've been here till three am the past
two nights, haven't been getting home till three thirty in the morning. Then
you're not in bed till three forty five or four. Then I gotta wake
up at six thirty to get my kids to school. So I'm just kind
of like burnt out, and I'll just take a day to sleep in a
little bit. Maybe I'll maybe I'll come in late, not too late.
No comment tomorrow, right, No, God, I don't have commentary form
until day one A of Thespian event. I also don't want to get burned
out if I'm going to play the events. Also don't want to get burned
out if you and I are going to play the tag team. So speaking
of a tag team, we've had a lot of reviews, a lot of
new reviews, nearly fifty new reviews, so I mean we need one hundred
and fifty new reviews. I'm just saying, if you would like to be
in the drawing for the one percent, you need to get your review in
today, as in Friday, because we're going to draw what on Sunday?
On me Wednesday event? The first isn't it? Let me check out?
But what day is that? Tag team is Monday, July first, So
we for sure got a draw on Sunday because then we can announce the winners,
the fifty winters. Yeah, we'll draw on Sunday and we'll put them.
We'll draw on Sunday, and then that night they'll be in the podcast
for the Monday morning release. So going into the event on Monday, you'll
know that's how we'll do it done. Sounds good. Put that down somewhere
like in your notes. You're way more organized than I am. But yes,
get your reviews in sending me in. Berman just followed me on Twitter.
You're back here every day talking to me, bringing me treats from Australia.
You just now followed me on Twitter. Come on, man, do
you like the chocolate Teddy Boy of biscuits? Yeah? Those are fine.
Those those are all right. We need the shapes back that stuff with the
marshmallows in them. They're the best. Not so much. But I'm not
like I'm no longer like a big sweet guy. Someone asked in the in
the YouTube chat today, this is the point of the podcast when you guys
can just turn off. You don't care talk about this nonsense. But someone
asked in the YouTube chat for the stream today, what's my favorite cheesecake?
Seems like a very really just playing fucking New York style cheesecake. Like I
don't like like strawberry toppings, Like I mean, I don't like I don't
like rasp I don't not like it. But if I have a choice,
if there's like seventeen pieces of cheesecake in front of me, I'm plaking the
plain one with the you know, the granola crust or whatever it is.
That's what I'm having. And I can put down some cheesecake like I will
eat a whole cheese an Italian? What is your favorite Italian? Assert?
In fact, you have it slam dunk the canoli down. It really upsets
me. No, to be honest, I'm not like a big I like
Canolis, but they're they're for sure not my favorite. I mean it has
to be a pitzel. What a pitzel. They're incredible. I like,
well, rest in peace to my grandma, but she would make the best
desserts by far. My mom can can do it. But it's not sorry
Mom, It's not like grandma homemade cream puffs she used to make all they
were so good, so free puffs A good Yeah, the Canolis, I
just I don't know. I'm like, I like Canoli's, yes, but
I don't know, not like the absolute biggest thing. You know, who
has an underrated, really really really good Kanali Whole Foods, you know the
little dissert section they have the little cakes, they have a little Canali excellent.
So you have a feel like pitzels are hands down my favorite, but
you have to have the right pitzel iron like you can't like they don't make
they don't make pitzel irons the way that they used to. They're not as
good. And my mom and my aunt have tried to find Pitzel irons forever,
but they're just not the same. The best one that was in our
family belonged to my grandma, but I think it either got lost or it's
with my aunt. So when my mom makes the pitzels, you know,
they're slightly a little bit different, and she knows that. She knows the
iron isn't that great. But yeah, pitzels for sure. I'll eat forty
of them in one city, all right. So if you want to bring
in some Kanali's, we will eat them all. It's gelato count I mean
essentially ice cream. Yeah. I'm not going to get treaded for just because
people are gonna be like, it's not ice cream, it's different, blah
blah blahya or whatever. It's the same. It's in the same category.
All right. Cool, that's gonna do it for us. Thank you everyone
for listening to the Poker Grol podcast. I'm glad you're back, Tim,
so I didn't have to talk to myself for forty minutes. And fun is
not fun? Yeah, I mean we had you had Nick Radthu for once.
That yeah. Good. Yeah, it's it's fine. It's not that
it's like not fun, you know. It doesn't become a chore. But
it's also not as fun as it could be, you know, because you're
just you're essentially sitting here talking to your fucking self like you were sitting there,
like you'd be sitting in a closet at home talking to the wall exactly.
I don't like doing that. So anyway, that's gonna do it for
us. Appreciate you guys for tuning in again if you missed it. Pokergro
