Please the back of the chair. Then please the receipt on dodge in the
bag on the back of the chair. Put thousand players doing. Shut up.
The cards are in the we're here on the WSP. You may of
m bubble And where the fuck is Donny Peters. I cannot see him.
Teld me to be here, told me to get some stuff on the bubble,
and he is not present. This is unbelievable. This is a terrible
out of the DAE main event bubble. All right, everyone, the bubble
is fast approaching here in the twenty twenty three World Series of Poker Main event,
currently standing in the Grand Ballroom at Horseshoe, Las Vegas. I'd say
about eighty percent of the dealers are standing up at their tables because they are
about to put the tournament on hand for hand play. The clock reads that
there are fifteen hundred and ten players remaining. Fifteen hundred and seven players will
cash. Got tim duckworth walking around the room, got myself walking around the
room. We'll try and bring you some of the sounds the scenes that is
happening here on the Las Vegas Strip, largest USP mainament in history. There
are a few extreme short stacks. There's one table on the opposite side of
the room now I believe it's Table five thirty nine. That is fabbian Quass's
starting table for the day. There's been a lot of tanking at that table
so far. A ton I just watched one hand where there was three clock
calls on the same hand. The floor came over at one point because there
has been so many clock calls. So that specific table and the floor issued
a blanket clock of ten seconds. If anyone calls the clock on any player
at the table for stalling, they will come over and they will only have
ten seconds instead of the normal thirty seconds, because that table specifically has been
you know, for lack of a better term, abusing the stalling here pro
table orange five three nine is a raisinut of a gun. Fabian quasts mental
position A thirty thousand in the tank clock was called on him. This is
clusturing playing. The small blind has three pigs as well. Hand costs steel
in the tank, flores counting down to five for any faults. He's hand
for hand and you know who doesn't give a fuck, Jason Messiah. He
is all in fall seventy thou from the low jack. Oh my god,
he gets a series of faults so easy for this guy doesn't show, takes
the pot and I risk chase me. That's how you get it done.
They did not start day four here with hand for hand play, but they
are going to go to hand for hand play. It sounds like right now.
Tournament supervisor Charlie Seraci get on the mic. He did request all the
dealers finish the current hand that they're on, stand up at the table.
Once all the dealers are standing, assuming you know, having done this before,
they'll last those those dealers to sit back down. They'll announce that they're
gonna go to hand for hand play and they're gonna be just a couple of
spots off the money, pending some some eliminations of this final go round.
Right now, as these players are trying to wrap up these hands at these
tables, it's pretty pretty incredible in here, as you might expect. The
greatest tournament bubble in the world, the most exciting one. Looks like the
cameras are swarming to table four fourteen, that is where the shortest stack to
start Day four is seated players in seat nine. I believe he's gonna be
all in in the next hand or two, so he'll have to sweat this
one really big. They are playing four thousand and eight thousand with an eight
thousand big blind ante, So if the big line hits you as a short
stack, you're putting sixteen K. And I don't think this player has sixteen
K. So it's gonna be a sweat for that gentleman over there. And
he knows that he's standing up. He keeps shouting over to his rael.
He's just a few tables away. The rail is deep. They got him
stanchioned off here, Charlie serracie. Their request that all the dealers take their
seats sounds like all the hands are complete at all of the tables. So
here we go. Players, We are of the turn your whole action,
do not turn over. Sounds all right. Here we go the first hand
hold players. It's pretty incredible here the first hand of hand for hand plays
underway in the twenty twenty three World Series of Poker Main Events Allen and Call
versus pocket tens king ten ace six, board ace king versus pocket tens six
on the river, and we have an elimination. One player has been eliminated.
That drops the number down to fifteen o nine. Again, that was
an ace king ten six boarders ace king versus pocket tens. The ace king
has been eliminated. All right, we will be taking two minutes off for
each champ player. Two mins will be taken off the po for champ play
one alright, dealers next one alright. Fifteen hundred and nine players remaining top
fifteen o seven will pay out on the first hand of hand for hand play
lost one player. Two more need to go to make it into the money.
All right, it looks like we have jack evil coming to one of
what looks to be two all in in calls. The all in player has
pocket aces against eight six of diamonds. The eight six of diamonds raised,
the aces went all in. The eight six of diamonds called for a little
bit more five four three flop nine on the turn case is still in the
league, looking to double up on the river. The aces holed up,
fist pumps around the table, and that player doubles up. Cameras are swarmed
around four to fourteen. That's the player who was the shortest stack to start
the day. Okay, isn't all in a call? There's two left until
we hit the money blue four one four. Oh my god, there's like
a hundred people around this table. I'm sure Jack is on his way to
call the action. I've never seen so many cameras in my life. Oh,
it's it's the grind this table. That's the guy that started the shortest
stack today. He's all in from the big one. We're waiting to hear,
waiting to see what the cards are, put the cars on the backs.
Oh my god, so many cameras, Poka Goo crew, Pugo photographers,
poker news, social media, Brazilian media, Portuguese media, all the
media. Where's here, Jeff, We're live on the bubble. Yeah,
got a guy all in over here, forced in from the big bline.
What do you think he has? What do I think he has? The
guy he's forced in on the big line. I mean, it's just the
nine four nine of diamonds, four part. I bet you he has a
good hand and he's gonna get screwed. That's my rad That's a terrible read
that. Do you want to bet on it? Yeah, I'll take the
nine four, you take every other I'll take the field. Yeah, okay,
don a thousand, Okay, here comes Jock, Seth Greenleaf is all
in from the big blind. Seth, He's gonna table his hasn't looked.
Second is time once that fifteen minutes of fame ten to three of spades versus
the ace five off Bob comes eight Ace Queen, He's basically dead. Seth
Greenlift done. Jacker's bazo king on nine for Seth to stay alive, it's
a six of hearts. We lose Seth green Leaf one more go fifteen o
eight remain all right, Jesson con I heard your table comment that you're winning
every here? Ye are you using the bubble? Ah? Yeah, a
little bit. I mean how much does it pay to have a big stuck
on the bubble? Like, can you talk a little bit about how that
translate to equity? Yeah, it's your win rate. You just want this
thing to go forever, because your win rate, unless you're on a n
ace as, you wouldn't get to win every hand basically, and in the
main event, it's even more pronounced because everybody wants to cash so so bad.
You know, a high roll are a lot of guys they're just not
gonna put up with you bullying them, you know, with this tournament and
you get to really run away with it. So pretty sweet spot got to
win the last fourteen hands, so that was pretty nice. And thence once
the money bubble does burst, you know, how quickly do you change the
strategy and kind of go back to just instantly, because there's also the psychological
thing where people have decided they've made the money and they just kind of punt
and spots where they still should be very conservative. So the adjustment and the
tournament's pretty weird. It's like you're too loose on the bubble and then too
tight after the bubble breaks. All right, chance Corneth, I just asked
Jason Cooners a big stuck on the bust side of the table, if he's
abusing the bubble. So I'm good, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you the
same thing. Are you using the bubble? I was played a hand bad,
lost like one fifty side a little over one point eight, So the
jig is up that they know I just made a mistake, which I do
sometimes, and you just forgive yourself and move on. How much how much
equity can be one here on the bubble as a big stack. The major
equity for the bubble was yesterday there's very few hands lafts, so today very
very little. But yesterday, like our bubble started with like two thousand people
left, like the table started to adjust or maybe even more, and so
I obviously accumulated, played a bit drain. Now are you having fun?
Oh yeah, this is fucking blast. Third hand of hand for hand play
is happening right now. There is at least one all in and call.
The cameras have swarmed to table four forty eight in the corner of the blue
section in the Horseshoe Grand Ballroom down on the Las Vegas Strip. I've been
walking around, just talked to Jason kon Talk the Chance Corneth, two of
the bigger stacks in the field. Both of them seem to be pretty active
overall. Jason Koona especially has played every single hand, certainly been abusing the
bubble over there as big stacks should, you know, understandably so you can
you can gain a lot of chips right now with people looking to just get
into the money. So if you're ever a big stack around a tournament,
especially the bigger the tournament is basically main event stuff like that, um,
you know, not that anything's like that, obs main event. But you
guys, get me, the more important is to get into the money in
a tournament, the more you're gonna want to abuse the bubble as a big
stack, you know, really put the pressure on your players. It looks
like eventually we're gonna get Jack ethel over here to do the call on this.
All in a call, but there might even be a second one in
brewing across the room. Wild scenes in here. You've got players standing on
chairs trying to get advantage points. Yeah, Floorman yelling at the players.
It's pretty wild. One of the reasons why they like to have all the
players remain in their seats during a big bubble like this is because after a
dealer deals one hand and that hand completes at their table, they ask all
the dealers to stand up. That allows the floor to know when the table
is done if the dealer is standing, But if all these other players are
standing, you can't really see. Okay, so you know, just stay
in your seat. Of course, you can't leave the tournament area. If
you got to run to the bathroom something like that, that's perfectly fine.
But yeah, you know, just stay in your seat. Listen to the
listen to the tournament staff and things won't move along a little bit more smoothly
and efficiently. All right, So it looks like on this hand, Jack
Evel's making his way to make the call, and we have three I believe
three all in and calls again, we are on the exact bubble. Over
here at table four eleven, there is a river out jack four three six
ace. Okay, guys, excuse me, excuse me, Jack sts four
part six ace of gloves. All the money's in the cards are out.
Let's flip up the hands right mecuse me, exc menam versus a pair of
jets. Looks like the olive player as the best hand with a pair of
jets. Oh, I'm sorry, he's cover. He's the all in player.
Where's the button? I understand any ways the bet, but I don't
see an all in button. Okay, you didn't bust? Do you double
up? All right, let's go to the next one, or we have
a double up on the first hand. A little smattering of booze there.
Everyone, of course wants to get into the money. There was a little
issue there with with where the dealer put the all in button. Didn't have
it directly in front of the all in player or had it in front of
the wrong player. Not really sure what happened, but ano, they're all
in right now, classic flip right now, Ace King versus pocket coins Ace
king Jack is the flop. Queen five on the turn, Pace King jack
five, four of diamonds on the river. Ace King doubles up, and
we are now going to the third hand of hand for hand play, trying
to break this bubble. People are absolutely stampeding over one another trying to get
to this table. Yeah, people standing on chairs. You got media knocking
people over. You got players with their cameras out, their phones out trying
to get in the mix. It's absolutely madness in here. All right.
We got queens versus aces. The allen player has aces, so a queen
or a straight or some sort of flush something. Well, this bubble is
going to continue. Nine eight seven on the flop, aces still ahead,
looking for the double another double, right. That was the third hand of
hand for hand play, three all ins, no eliminations. Players are shuffling
back to their seats. Dealers are taking their seats, getting the decks ready
for another hand of hand fand play. Cameras media dispersed to spread across the
room before they all converge onto one, two, maybe even three tables,
like we just saw you guys heard it there next hand underway over here right
now at table four thirty seven, there has been an all in end a
call. We're not just waiting for the other tables to finish up or possibly
have their all in situations as well. Camera's, media and the like have
all swarmed over here. It looks like the allen player is at risk for
about one hundred, fifty hundred and fifty five thousand, still playing eight thousand
in the big blind. So the other player has a covering stack that's one,
two three, about four hundred k or so, so healthy stack making
the call. Can't imagine being all in here as the short of stack having
to wait this out. It doesn't matter what you have, maces, doesn't
matter. You still gotta still got to sit there. You know, your
tournament life on the line. You know it's the exact bubbalo that osp main
events. Absolutely cannot imagine that feeling. I can see kind of across the
room, but there's another looks like there's another all on a call. I
think the cameras swarming on the far side of the room. Sometimes that can
be a false alarm, you know. Sometimes it's just a couple of people
starting to swell around the table, build the anticipation and you know, builds
the excitement, gets everyone there. But that's what about the furthest possible spot
on the other side of the room from where I am right now. So
what's up? This is it? Buddy? Doesn't get any bigger than this.
I heard you were all in already. I was, yeah, I
was. You want me to do it again? Just for effect? You
had aces? I had a saces again if you were to get aces right
now? Are you going on? What are you doing? I'm talking about
Boston, Rob Marianna about by the way, who's got he's got one?
You know, listen, Chip leader coaching. Your coach is sitting right there.
I know what if he finds out you full of aces a couple of
tables away. I mean he might come over and hitch in the face.
I talked to him this morning and he told me only aces and kings maybe
queens at eight at fifteen and you got aces, I don't know, Yeah,
I got ace even then. I mean it's hard to pull the trigger
down. We've been on the bubble of tournaments. Even when you look down,
you almost want to look down just see the eight three off kind of
feel about, you know, because especially in this is the fourth time I've
played the main and I've never cashed the main, so hope. Yeah,
but at the end of the day, I come from the school I thought,
where you gotta do what you gotta do. I gotta play to win.
Yeah, So if I got asas now, they're probably going in and
pray, probably going in. Yeah, thanks buddy him. All right,
that was Boston Rob Mariano. He's at the table kind of behind this four
thirty seven that I'm standing in with the all situation. So one of the
players, the player with the covering stack, has his mom and dad on
FaceTime right now as he's all in. It's absolutely incredible. He's showing the
whole table. He's showing the scene to his family on FaceTime. Absolutely incredible
stuff, Absolutely incredible. The player with the covering stack where now realistic player
with the covering in if he could show his mom on FaceTime his hand.
I know you're not supposed to have your hand your phone out, you know,
and be on it when you have hands but I mean, this is
a pretty cool moment. Three all in and calls all right, one on
and calls being running faces versus kings seven six, three on the flow aces
versus jack on the turn cases have the covering stack jack, all right,
everyone was another jack. So one player has busted. So we'll see if
there's a sweat for the bubble. Yeah, you're in, but there's two
more all ins. You're in for sure, but there's two Well they might
split the prize or something like that, but you're in the money. We're
in the money. And that was the reaction. That was the well they
got to run the two more hands out, hold on, that's their Yeah,
they do all the hands. He'll officially say you're all in the money.
That boom eruption and hold on. Now everybody knows you're in. And
that was in. Yes, that doesn't feel like it'll it'll be better.
Feels like he's so upset about making up. Feels like like a big bus
it'll come. So worry it will come. I feel like it should have
come right now. All right, they're rather they're out to run this hand.
Then they got one more here is out. He told me, all
right, So here we have an all in on a call again Ace King
for the player that's all in. He's up against pocket queens for the covering
player, the player who is on FaceTime Jack six nine and two diamonds.
The player does have the ace King of diamonds. That's the all in player
five on the turn of black five five of spades six on the river her.
So the queens are going to hold up and send a second player to
the rail. And then we have one more all in and a call.
This one is on the river Ace nine six king sixth board. We'll see
if the player is all in and eliminated. Looks like the players talking to
Jack ethel four of a kind. Okay, so there was three eliminations on
that hand, alright, alright, so three players were eliminated, with fifteen
hundred and eight players remaining on the clock. Now, they usually give a
free seat to the next year's main events to the Bubble, but because there's
three of them, they got to do something fun. So they're gonna do
some sort of flip or something like that to get these people their seats.
All right, So the three Bubble players are heading over across the room to
table five thirty three. They're gonna do a flip. The winner is going
to take home a seat to next year's WSP main events, which could very
well be another record with the way this thing is going, which is awesome.
Mind you that because they were one off the money and three players busted
out, they're gonna split equally the first two places. So because the first
two places are mint cashes of fifteen thousand each, that's thirty thousands to split
amongst them. So all three of them are getting on the ground, not
on the chairs. You will start our back, all right, we have
the two seat, we're gonna have her sick the two and then where's my
hair? Is my third? I've see my third? All right, they're
doing the flip right now. So the tournament clock is still paused, by
the way, the other players in that are still in the devis comin event
action is still clause clock is still paused. Three hands, well, three
candle hand. We're gonna go one hand, so three three players are gonna
get two card featured. Here we go, all right, right, in
order do this flip to see who gets to see for next year. All
right, let's flip them up. Let's see what we got for this flip.
We've got seven of diamonds and three spades, Queen of diamonds, four
hearts and the two so hearts of the nine of spades. Hey, listen,
you guys all have some pretty horrible all right, Let's take a look
at the club and take a real slow let's sweat at this one time for
this ten thousand dollars seat all right, ten of hearts, Trey of hearts,
King of diamonds, all right, right now I have to say,
and we have a pair of trays over here, and you got a heart,
and you got a bigger heart over here. All right, But looks
like a pair of trays is in the league. Let's take a look at
the fourth card here here got some turn so Queen of clubs. Now we
have a pair of queens and a pair of trays. So par of Queens
is now on the league a r right, So we shifted too from this
other gentlehood. Let's take a look at the Ribert card. Give me see
my when it couldn't come to Jeffords nine over here? And again, Wow,
the ribber cart came at Jack became a heat high straight and the third
player over here is gonna win this ten thousand dollars need in the next year
and changed positions, free time, free mar Eric pray Jack guy straight takes
it down. You see the next year world event. What's your name?
Okay? You a booscar? Lease je ee front of Barford. You have

get these guys back in ash hey Jack, all right, So alright,
all dealers, please think your seats. All players back in your seats.
All the players are in the money now in the twenty twenty three main event.
So I guess Boston Rob is right, because that was the most underwhelming
celebration of getting into the divers be main event money that I've ever heard.
I mean, it was actually pretty poor. I mean so yeah, all
right, I guess that concludes this part of the bubble pop. You know,
we'll continue talking. We'll talk to some players when they wrap up at
the end of the night, and uh yeah, we're underway. Let's go
in the money. Twenty twenty three World Series of Poker Main Events
