00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:16.440
Hello, everyone, Welcome back to
a new episode of the Poker Girl Podcast.

2
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:23.480
I promised you all an interview with
Daniel Wineman y ka Daniel win Maine,

3
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.120
the twenty twenty three World Series of
Poker Main event champion. Tim is

4
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.519
laughing at me on the video because
we're doing this remotely, but here we

5
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:37.280
are. I spoke with him the
other day. He invited me up to

6
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.119
his suite. Quite nice of a
suite they have over at Horseshoe. I

7
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.039
didn't really know that it was that
nice. But you go up to like

8
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:48.399
this whole separate floor upstairs, you
gotta have a key to access it.

9
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.439
You gotta have a key to go
into these doors on the inside. Look,

10
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:56.399
it's pretty baller. Not gonna lie, but yeah. We'll just throw

11
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.119
it to the interview now, got
about twenty minutes or so, and then

12
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.079
we'll come back into and I will
react to what Daniel Wineman had to say.

13
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.480
All right, Daniel Winman or should
I say Daniel win Maine. First

14
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.200
thing I got to ask is who
who came up with the last name?

15
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.680
That was a buddy of mine from
Georgia Tech. His name is Stan That

16
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.439
that was the first thing he texted
me was just that name, Daniel win

17
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.120
Maine, and I thought it was
too good not to change my Twitter handle

18
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.439
for at least for a couple of
days. Of course, now it's been

19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.439
a couple of days since you won
the main event twelve point one million dollars.

20
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.680
I know after you immediately won,
Karas Scott puts a mic in your

21
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.640
face and it's like it just happened
two minutes ago. There's a lot of

22
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.079
thoughts going through my mind. But
now has it sunk in a little bit

23
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.920
more? It still hasn't. I
mean, I don't know how long it's

24
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.239
going to take. There's probably been
three or four moments in the past two

25
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.719
days where it just kind of hit
me all of a sudden. I was

26
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.680
Toby and I were on the golf
course yesterday. I was standing over a

27
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.359
pud and just had to back off. It was just like, I just

28
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.120
want the man. So I think
it'll all sink in when we get home

29
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.640
and life starts to get back to
normal, or as normal as it can

30
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.519
be. Up until this year,
you haven't really had too much success in

31
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.200
the main event. You had one
kind of deepest run one hundred and seventy

32
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.879
third place in twenty twenty one.
But other than that, I mean you

33
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.159
joked on Twitter being over ten like
all this sort of stuff, looking at

34
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.759
those like, well, what was
it that you were just unable to produce

35
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.719
any results? I really did not
like this tournament for the first ten to

36
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.400
fifteen years, you know, coming
at the end of the series, you're

37
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.520
obviously pretty burnt out, and then
to sit down and see two hours on

38
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.039
the clock in between levels, even
though that's the same as every other tournament

39
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.719
you get two hours between breaks.
For some reason, just seeing an hour

40
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.000
forty seven left and a level just
didn't sit well with me for some reason.

41
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:44.520
And I always just did something stupid
or punted early and probably gave away

42
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.439
six or seven, you know,
potential runs in main events, just wanting

43
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.879
to be done. I played the
main event for the first time last year,

44
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.919
and I feel that same thing.
I remember, like looking at the

45
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:55.039
clock and they'd be like, there's
ante, there's an hour thirty level.

46
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.080
What is we're still playing? Same? Like can we speed this up?

47
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.520
Like we can we get it moving? So I understand what you're saying there.

48
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.400
So then does it help that you
went home for a month or so

49
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.800
beforehand before this monament. Yeah,
that was the biggest help in this run.

50
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.080
Every other year, it's just been
here from the start to the finish

51
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.560
and play poker every day and no
breaks. And having this month at home

52
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.879
to kind of recharge, you know, see friends and family, you know,

53
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.280
be with Sarah, go into work
and kind of forget about poker for

54
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.680
a little bit. Just made me
come out so recharged and ready to play.

55
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.759
Everyone of course knows about the jack's
hand, jack's versus queens versus kings,

56
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.159
but there was a couple other very
big hands that you were involved in.

57
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.199
One was, I believe you had
ace king of diamonds versus aces,

58
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.439
and the woman Debbie Lee flopped an
ace as well, and then you went

59
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.800
run and run or flush so and
then there was you had ace king of

60
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.240
spades versus jacks of Chris Lee and
queens of another player when it ended up

61
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.680
folding when you flopped the trips.
But like I guess, just talk about

62
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.120
like the big hands of the big
moments, like does it ever just start

63
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.759
feeling like this is your tournament,
this is my run, this is my

64
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.280
time? It does? You know? The ace king and diamonds vers devis

65
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.039
aces was such an interesting hand for
so many reasons. I mean, I

66
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.719
think in any other tournament you would
just say, oh, it's just a

67
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.599
standard cooler they got in. You
know, I can't even tell you what

68
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.000
the blind level was at that point, but probably sixty or seventy big lines

69
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.439
we got in, and it's something
that in the main event you might not

70
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:26.639
want to do. But she had
been playing fairly aggressively and it was very

71
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.480
funny because I know her boyfriend also
made a deep runt in the event.

72
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.199
I saw the two of them talking
on break ten minutes before this hand happened,

73
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.360
and I had played with him the
day before and seen him four bet

74
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.279
bluff a few times, and I
had gone after him a few times.

75
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.439
So in the back of my head, I'm thinking that she's going to him

76
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.240
on break saying, you know,
Dan's three betting me, Like what am

77
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.959
I going to do? So I'm
thinking, Okay, maybe he's telling her,

78
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.800
Okay, maybe four bet like the
first time. So if I don't

79
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.279
see them talking on break, do
I still make the five bets of If

80
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.959
I see that she hasn't just done
an interview with Jeff Platt, do I

81
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.079
not know that I'm going to win? The all in so many weird like

82
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.759
coincidences happen in that hand and then
the jack's versus queens versus king's hand,

83
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.680
which old you know, go down
forevers you know, my most famous hand

84
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.160
probably once you hit that jack,
you know, I go right to the

85
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.920
to the rail and Sean Deep says, this is your this is your tournament.

86
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.639
Now, I mean, is that
is that the most memorable moment then?

87
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.720
I mean, or is it or
is it trumped by you know,

88
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.759
the winning moment. That's probably going
to be the most memorable moment for so

89
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.560
many reasons. You know, obviously, you know, hitting the two adders

90
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.399
incredible, you know, Unfortunately,
busting one of my really good friends and

91
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.480
Josh Payne and just I didn't see
it in the moment, but have rewatched

92
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.240
the video so many times and seeing
the pain on his face, I mean,

93
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.839
it sucks. It's it's just we
we've talked about it since and you

94
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.600
know, we both know it was
probably a two to three million dollars real

95
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.040
money pot that you know, you
don't want to play those kind of pots

96
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.160
against your friends. You know,
I'm the kind of person I wish everybody

97
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.600
could win, but unfortunately that's not
how it goes. There was a lot

98
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.720
of pain in that hand, no
pun intended, but you had kind of

99
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.439
a pained look on your face when
you saw the jack's knowing what had happened

100
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.680
in front of you. Then you
move all in and even before the money

101
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.120
goes in, Josh is like,
oh my god, like does someone really

102
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.319
have aces here? You know?
So that moment is just it's got to

103
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.240
be how to control, right you
win the hand, right you hit the

104
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.079
jack, that the river's clean?
Are you kind of feeling like a sense

105
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.720
of a free roll in a way
like you should be out now you're still

106
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.319
in? Like how does what goes
to your mind there? And how are

107
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.360
you able to sit back down and
like play because they talk about all the

108
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.120
time like taking bad beats and you
have to recompose yourself. But there's also

109
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.240
like uptill and like getting really excited
and then you can kind of freak out

110
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.839
in that way too, So how
are you able to just get back down

111
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.480
and like focus again? Yeah,
it's you're one hundred percent right that you

112
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.120
have to refocus, you know.
As soon as the hand happens, I

113
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.519
think I shoot up to seventy million
in chips. I'm probably maybe eighty.

114
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.199
And I think I'm second in chips
at that point. And Josh Arier was

115
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.879
on the rail as well and calls
me over before another hand is dealt and

116
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.480
my heart is racing, you know, two hundred and fifty beats a minute

117
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.240
probably, and Josh says, breathe, like you still got to go play

118
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:08.199
poker, Like there's still an hour
in this level. Like it's great,

119
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.319
you have all these chips, You're
going to win this tournament, but like

120
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.319
you need to go back and play
poker. And I tried, but it

121
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.399
was probably a good two hours and
like deep into the next level before I

122
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.959
even felt like things were back to
normal, like and I could compose myself

123
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.959
again. How is it with that
support system you mentioned Sean d Josh Are

124
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.199
There's also Matt Clance. It's like
there's a lot of guys that are in

125
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.279
your corner. You've been around for
a while. You're one of the nicest

126
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.319
guys in poker by far. You
know, how was it being able to

127
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:38.079
just kind of like recenter yourself with
the support of them all throughout the tournament?

128
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.879
It's incredible. I mean I've always
said that, you know, having

129
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.040
good people to talk poker with to
have in your corner is so important for

130
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.240
any poker player. I mean,
so many of these guys now, I

131
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.000
think they do a lot of it
on their own and they're at home with

132
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.839
the solvers and locked in a room, and they are ten times the poker

133
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.240
player I am. But you know, having these people to talk talk things

134
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.800
through with and get advice from at
or away from the table is just so

135
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.040
invaluable. You make the final table, you're doing pretty well and Chips,

136
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.360
it's the madeament is so crazy because
it's so long. It's like a two

137
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.199
week long thing. It's a marathon. It's certainly not a sprint, and

138
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.000
it's kind of in a way like
two tournaments in one you're almost playing to

139
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.360
get to the final table, and
then it's like resets for a sitting go

140
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.600
in a lot of ways, Like
what are your thoughts going into the final

141
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.800
table? Is they're a feeling of
I made it? Is They're a feeling

142
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.240
of like this is my shot?
Like what's going through your mind at that

143
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.840
point because you do have a whole
day off and you hit the golf course,

144
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.159
you know, so hopefully trying to
get away from that mindset a little

145
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.720
bit as well. It's it's crazy. I mean the day off was probably

146
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.080
the most stressful day of the whole
tournament, to be honest. You know,

147
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.879
Toby and I went out and golfed
and that, you know, took

148
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.879
some of the stress off for a
few hours. But I knew I had

149
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.200
so much friends and family coming in
and all of them were texting me.

150
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.919
You know, some of you know, the ones that understood poker kind of

151
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.519
knew that I needed to be away
from it all. But everybody else,

152
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.799
you know, you know, my
parents are incredible, but they are blowing

153
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.039
up my phone NonStop. It's like, you know, we're getting in.

154
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.039
Where do we go? You know, what do we do? How do

155
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.120
we check in? And I'm like, I just I can't deal with all

156
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.519
this right now. And I'm so
fortunate that Sarah kind of took the helm

157
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.480
on that got all of the parents
set up, got all of the friends

158
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.720
in and taken care of and really
just let me kind of relax and focus

159
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.919
before the two biggest days. That's
great. Then you make it to three

160
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.320
handed play, right, So you
got Adam Walton, You've got Stephen Jones.

161
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.320
Adam Walton comes out of the gate
and it's like playing his style that

162
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.399
we've seen throughout the whole tournament.
Stephen Jones is playing probably his style as

163
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.440
well, a little bit more conservative, you know Walton specifically like wasn't scared

164
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.360
to put money in the pot,
wasn't scared to play big pots. Is

165
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.559
that what you expected for three handed
play? Yeah, I wasn't exactly sure

166
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.279
what to expect. I kind of
had a feeling that coming in they both

167
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.399
kind of viewed me as the favorite, even though Steven came in with a

168
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:56.000
slight chip lead. So I had
a inkling that maybe their coaches had said,

169
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.120
you know, let's try to play
big pots with you know, the

170
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.720
other person, get heads up with
Wineman with a big chip lead. That's

171
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.080
kind of how I would have taken
it if I was one of them.

172
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.519
Well, they I'll tell you that
they when I talked to them at times,

173
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.240
they both cited you having big chips
and kind of being worried about that,

174
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.120
which kind of seemed a little bit
weird to me, to be honest,

175
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.720
because you don't want to like feign
any sort of lack of confidence at

176
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.360
that point. You want to be
like, Yes, obviously, Daniel was

177
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.559
a very good player, there's a
lot of very good players in this tournament,

178
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.279
but you've also made it here too, and you have a pretty The

179
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.840
chips were pretty even at that point, so it's interesting that you kind of

180
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.080
heard about that or knew about that
and like picked up on it. Well,

181
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.000
it was a little strange. I
know you said that, you know

182
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.600
you mentioned them saying that, and
I thought it was. There were at

183
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.840
least two times at the final table
where I played pots against at him and

184
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.519
ended up winning them. One was
aces when he turned sixes into a bluff

185
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.879
for two streets, and one was
just a smaller pot earlier at the final

186
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.600
table when he just looked at me
and said, you're the last person I

187
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.759
want to give chips to. And
I'm sitting there thinking like, is this

188
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.799
just is he like trying to get
in my head or something like Well,

189
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.279
then there was a hand riveted queen
with these queen He had sevens in the

190
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.679
big blind. He didn't three bet
you're open, But I thought I was

191
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.960
watching the hand at the time and
I thought, well, if Steven Jones

192
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.320
would open, I think he would
have three bet you know versus you,

193
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.759
which you know. I think that
goes back to what you're seeing where he

194
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.440
said earlier in the final table,
I don't want to play hands and big

195
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.960
pots against you specifically. Yeah,
it kind of makes sense. I remember

196
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.039
the hand. I haven't gone back
and watched yet, so I didn't know

197
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.360
he had sevens. He had mentioned
flatting a bigger hand prix. But it

198
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.120
does kind of make sense that they
kind of wanted to place smaller pots against

199
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.639
me, not get into big spots. I think I have this reputation of

200
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.279
being willing to go for it in
big spots and make big calls that other

201
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.720
people wouldn't necessarily make, and maybe
just make better decisions in big pots.

202
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.320
So it seemed like they wanted to
play much smaller pots with me, including

203
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.200
even in heads up. You know, I was so shocked when Steven started

204
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.519
limping buttons heads up as deep as
we were not to want to play bigger

205
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.600
pots in position. Yeah, I
want to ask you specifically about the heads

206
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.159
at play. So Jones comes in
first. He starts raising I think the

207
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.600
first two or three hands, and
they were larger sizes. You were going

208
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.320
I think the big blond was two
and a half million. You were going

209
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.279
to six million. He was going
to like eight and a half, you

210
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.759
know, so that starts, then
he quickly switches and he starts limping.

211
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.240
Then he goes back to raising for
what was ultimately the final hand. But

212
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.039
I mean, how did you take
to his strategy? At first? He

213
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.840
was raised for the first two or
three hands, then he went to limping,

214
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.759
So how did you kind of were
you like kind of shocked or surprise

215
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.960
in a way. I was completely
shocked when heads Up started. I mean

216
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.440
I've played very little heads up poker
outside of being heads up in tournaments,

217
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.320
and I think I've done fairly well, like over my career and that,

218
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.679
but definitely no expert in heads up. Kind of just have a very basic

219
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.039
strategy that I use, you know, making it six million and adding a

220
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.039
third of the thirty three percent on
the flop, and it ended up,

221
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.039
you know, making a lot of
money when I was on the button.

222
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.759
But for him to come out and
make it three and a half x the

223
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.039
first hand and then you know two
and a half x the next hand and

224
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.519
then start to throw in some limps. I had the feeling that he was

225
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.879
getting some coaching kind of before Heads
Up started, and he was trying to

226
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.240
do too many things and eventually he
kind of settled into I think what he

227
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.639
wanted to do, which would start
to limp all off the buttons. But

228
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.200
it definitely threw me for a loop
just to come out and have to face

229
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.200
all these different sizings and have some
marginal hands that I knew wh I'd defend

230
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.320
against the mid Rays, but suddenly
can't defend against you know, the eight

231
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.720
and a half million opens. So
what was ultimately the final hand? He

232
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.840
comes in with the Rays, You
defend the king jack off. You both

233
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.360
flop top hair, but your kickers
better. You get a check raise in

234
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.000
on the flop, you bet the
turn, you size it up a bit.

235
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.440
He goes into the tank for like
I felt like three minutes, and

236
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.159
he's at times it was like he
kind of looked like he was strong,

237
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.279
then he looked like he might be
weaked, and it was really interesting.

238
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.879
I mean, what's when he's tanking
for that long? What do you what

239
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.919
are you thinking? I mean,
how are you thinking it? Are you

240
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.919
just are you really just kind of
worried about like not giving anything off yourself?

241
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.159
Right? It's funny because you know, I think I've heard since then

242
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.559
it was like almost exactly four minutes
he tanked before he shut of, it

243
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.879
felt like fifteen It was definitely the
longest tank I've ever faced in a hand,

244
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.000
And once it gets past like the
minute or two mark, it feels

245
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.480
genuine. It feels like genuine uncertainty, like I don't know what to do,

246
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.960
and to me, it just kind
of screamed he had a medium strength

247
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.039
and which it's going to be a
weaker jack or some middle pocket pairer that

248
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.120
he doesn't know what what to do, doesn't want to face a big bed

249
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.960
on the river, so kind of
just wants to try to shut out my

250
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.600
draws. You know, if I'm
him in that spot, I just call

251
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.240
and reevaluate the river, which ultimately
would have gone check check on the ace,

252
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.320
and he's still in the tournament.
But you know, I can't fault

253
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.759
him. It's it's such a big
spot. You know, he has what

254
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.480
should be the best hand, as
it's such a draw heavy board, and

255
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.360
as some you know, neither of
us have a ton of heads up experience.

256
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.240
I can't I can't say I wouldn't
have done exactly what he did.

257
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.320
Now, there was another kind of
interesting spot on this hand. He tanks,

258
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.679
then he jams, which is kind
of surprising a little bit, you

259
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.000
know that he jammed after that long
but then you like kind of stand up

260
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.399
and he says, I faded the
snap call, Like, so what does

261
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.200
that tell you anything? That must
tell you more that he has a medium

262
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.000
strength and right absolutely, you know
that's something we think internally all the time,

263
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.480
but to say it out loud when
we're playing for all of this money,

264
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.399
I was like, it just kind
of made me more confident in my

265
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.200
read kind of exactly where he was
at. And then you know, I

266
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.159
stood up and just kind of made
sure of everything. You know, yeah,

267
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.279
it was gonna I mean, you
didn't snap call, but it was

268
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.240
also like you were never folding from
what I saw. It was like,

269
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.679
I just want to kind of verify
the count that it's in the ballpark of

270
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.879
what I thought, and I'm gonna
call because there is you know, six

271
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.480
million dollars or whatever it is on
the line here. Let's not just go

272
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.120
crazy. Ye in any other tournament
in the world, you know, after

273
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:45.080
you know, his long tank and
clear tough decision, I would have called

274
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.559
in half a second, but it's
just like you said, like I just

275
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.600
had to make sure, you know, heads up. I felt like I

276
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.600
was winning heads up, but I
wasn't exactly sure where the counts were at,

277
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.799
so I wanted to make sure it
wasn't you know, almost even in

278
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.320
chips, and I had somehow lost
some pots heads up with that really realizing

279
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.279
it. But like as soon as
I stood up, I could even hear

280
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.960
from the rail like, oh,
he's calling, he's calling, It's over.

281
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.600
Well. I always say when I'm
giving the commentary that you never stand

282
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.360
up and fold. You always stand
up and call. It's a rule.

283
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.919
So we knew you were calling when
you stood up. We mentioned the money.

284
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.440
I have to ask you, what
was there a deal? Because there's

285
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.639
a lot of back and forth on
social media, so what's fruck Straight from

286
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.840
the source, there was no deal. The three of us, when we

287
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.320
got down to three handed, talked
about a deal. And I don't really

288
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.000
want to get into anyone's business too
much, you know. I know a

289
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.080
lot of people have investors. I
know a lot of people would rather keep

290
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:42.000
this stuff quiet. But we didn't
make a deal. We talked in the

291
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.720
morning a little bit about it.
Steven and I were kind of the most

292
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.679
vocal, and Adam kind of seemed
to want to go for it, which

293
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.279
is kind of how we played,
so you know, it kind of makes

294
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.919
sense exactly. So you know,
we we briefly talked, we couldn't really

295
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.440
come to an agreement, and I'll
just you know, I think that text

296
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.279
in the group chat was let's just
have fun today, boys, and then

297
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.279
heads up playing no deals there.
I mean, you had a big lead,

298
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.400
so that's a little bit different you. I think you were about three

299
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.039
to one in chips. Yeah,
that was another one because Steven and I

300
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:15.480
had talked separately that we might consider
a deal heads up, because no matter

301
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.480
what, if you think you have
an edge, and you know, I

302
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.960
probably thought I had some small edge
over him, heads up. You don't

303
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.440
want to play heads up for six
million dollars. You know, I don't

304
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.119
know what amount of money you would
need to, you know, be comfortable

305
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.920
playing that stakes. But I don't
have that money. So when we got

306
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.559
we had talked separately and said,
you know, if we get heads up,

307
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.400
let's reconsider. And we got heads
up, and I don't know,

308
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.240
I just felt so confident in the
moment the people I had on me.

309
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.240
I went to my rail after busting
Adam and asked them, like, you

310
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.839
know, what do you guys think, and they said you're gonna win.

311
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.200
So we Steven and I met briefly
on the break between Heads Up, and

312
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.160
I think he was kind of expecting
us to talk, and I said,

313
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.200
you know, I just I'd like
to play for like finish the level out.

314
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.119
Let's see how Heads Up goes.
If we get closer to even and

315
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.160
chips, maybe we'll make a deal. And it wasn't meant to be like

316
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.440
an intimidation tactic, but I think
he took it that way, and like,

317
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:12.480
I do want to apologize because it
wasn't It wasn't meant to throw him

318
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:17.000
off his game or anything. It
was just kind of in the moment I

319
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.599
felt like I couldn't lose. Yeah, I mean that's understandable. You had

320
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.480
about three to one. I think
he had about one hundred and sixty million

321
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.119
or so. You had four or
forty million. You had just knocked out

322
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.640
Adam Walton. You know, so
even if the chips were the same going

323
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.640
into Heads of Play, if Stephen
Jones were to have knocked out Walton,

324
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.359
maybe he feels a little bit more
momentum. So you know, in that

325
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.279
regard, you know, it's understandable, and you know, your apology sounds

326
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.000
very genuine, so good on you
for that. Have you been congratulated by

327
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.359
Donald Trump? Have not heard from
the don our mutual friend. Maybe that's

328
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.400
because you called him out on the
broadcast about moving the ball or something.

329
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.440
It's it's very possible. It's very
possible. I think it's you know,

330
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:59.000
that's kind of widely known that he
bends the rules a little bit out there

331
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.839
on the golf course, but maybe
it hasn't been made public, you know

332
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:06.000
on TV before. We have like
a close mutual friend that you know,

333
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.160
this guy HP who lives in Philly
that plays a lot of golf with Trump

334
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.640
and has become friends with me through
golf and poker, and he's been congratulating

335
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.960
me NonStop. But honestly, like
it's been there have been so many messages

336
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.079
from friends and family that I still
haven't gotten through everything. So and maybe

337
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.640
sitting in there, you never know. So you played poker for a while,

338
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:27.799
then you kind of got out of
it. You know, you're doing

339
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.200
the whole RF poker thing right now. Now you're back and you win the

340
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:36.759
main events. Where does Daniel Wineman
go from here? It's such an interesting

341
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:38.839
question, you know, I've told
everyone so far that I don't think my

342
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:44.000
life will change very much, and
I still think that's that's true. I

343
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.759
mean, I'll be home tomorrow.
The real world, will you know,

344
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:51.960
come calling, And I truly enjoy
what I'm doing with RF poker. Um.

345
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.119
The reason I took a step back
from poker was I wasn't enjoying it

346
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:00.799
anymore. So to just win the
main event and and league go back to

347
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.680
doing what was ultimately making me miserable
for the last five years, I just

348
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.240
can't see that happening. So I
talked to a lot of people this year

349
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.160
because I was really struggling with this, you know, in the past few

350
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.039
months, and the most successful ones
all kind of told me the same thing,

351
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.799
that poker is a fantastic hobby and
just a terrible way to make a

352
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.039
living. And I couldn't agree with
that more. Now that you've won the

353
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.680
main event, you've won twelve million
dollars, does it take that pressure off

354
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.440
and you can really now treat it
as a hobby? I think it does.

355
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.119
You know, more money obviously makes
life a lot easier. You know,

356
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.839
I'll be I'm not the first person
to say that I won't be the

357
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:41.200
last. But I still I have
no desire to go play the highest stakes

358
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.559
in the world and play the best
in the world. I'm still going to

359
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.119
do the things that I enjoy and
just try to live my normal life.

360
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.640
You come back next year, your
banners on the wall, what are you

361
00:20:52.640 --> 00:21:00.759
thinking? It's maybe it'll sink in
then it still doesn't feel real. Three

362
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.680
handed. The seat that I was
sitting in at the final table had like

363
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.519
a perfect view of the last few
minute event champions, and it was like

364
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.599
I couldn't stop myself from thinking,
like is my banner going to be up

365
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:22.519
there next? And it like it
just all came together, all right.

366
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.759
That was twenty twenty three World Series
of Poker Maine, him and champion Daniel

367
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.920
Weinman. What do you think Tim
good winner, bad winner? Yes,

368
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.279
good winner. I think he's going
to be around. I think he's a

369
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.599
good ambassador for poker. I'm just
not really sure how much he actually will

370
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.519
play. We get the hint that
you know, maybe he'll just continue working.

371
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.279
The money isn't life changing, so
I'm not sure if he's going to

372
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.519
be like espen or KRII playing all
the high rollers, playing all the events.

373
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.359
Well, you heard him. You
heard him say that he doesn't really

374
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.599
have an interest to play. That's
fine, which is fine. You know,

375
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.119
his wheelhouse is more of um I
would say ten K and under and

376
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.640
then if it's a ten cave and
it's probably like those ten k mixed game

377
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:07.519
events, those championship events that they
have of the World Treos of Poker.

378
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.880
So yeah, I think he'll be
good. Like he in the interviewed the

379
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.160
year. He's so well spoken,
He's done a lot of press already,

380
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.519
gives everybody, you know, the
full amount of time to answer questions.

381
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.200
So on that side of things,
I think he's going to be great.

382
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.559
Yeah. And I don't know if
you saw it today. It's Friday,

383
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:29.440
July twenty feet on social media,
but he tweeted a photo of back at

384
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.680
the office. Yes, I wonder
if that's I wonder if that was a

385
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.039
staged photo. I wonder if it
was, you know, just him like

386
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.000
I'm gonna pop in say hello to
the team. Maybe we'll do a little

387
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.039
photo, or if he was actually
their grinding code. It looked like he

388
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.920
was actually grinding code, but who
knows. We should actually take that photo

389
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:52.599
photo shop the background on the screen
to like the key moment from the main

390
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.480
event run like he's rewatching it.
We should stop that, you know,

391
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.079
stop the meme train going. That'd
be great. Seaan deeb mentioned that he

392
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.680
missed an opportunity to be wearing the
bracelet. Yes, he did in the

393
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.240
in the photo. I mean everyone
always asked it. If you know the

394
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.880
win event champ is you know,
good in terms of being an ambassador for

395
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.240
the game. I think Wineman will
be. Um. You know, I'm

396
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.680
kind of like you, I don't
know how much we're gonna see of him,

397
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.720
Like just in terms of out there
grinding the tournament circuit. He got

398
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:26.839
away from doing just that. Um
in recent years, even this year.

399
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:27.759
You know, he came out at
the beginning of the World Series of Poker,

400
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.200
then he took about a month off, then he came back for the

401
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.720
event obviously wanted. So I think
we'll see him pop in here and there.

402
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.079
Um, you know, going back
to the World Series of Poker's announcement

403
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:45.119
in conjunction with Gigi Poker for the
WSP Paradise event in the Bahamas, they

404
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.920
invited all the final three players and
the and the champion of course you know

405
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.519
down there. So I'm guessing we'll
probably see him hop down to the Bahamas

406
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:57.480
invited or paid to go there,
because there's a difference. They said Tie

407
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.920
Stewards on the mic, and he
said, you were all invited. I

408
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.920
don't really know exactly what that means, but I mean you and may are

409
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.480
invited as well. Well, yeah, so we're invited to pay our way

410
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.279
to show up there. Um,
you know, but I don't know what

411
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.279
they have in store for them.
Um, I would guess you would probably

412
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.200
want to make way at least for
the champion to be down there for sure.

413
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:22.680
I mean something like some paradise packages, you know, where it's a

414
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.960
main event entry, maybe it's a
one of their opening event entries, and

415
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.799
then one of the high roller entries
for the Final nine. Even if they

416
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.000
wanted to spend a little bit of
cash, that'd be a nice little way

417
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:41.640
to hey, we're really actually behind
WSP Bahamas, WSP Paradise and we want

418
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.839
our final nine there, you know, to put on a show. Well,

419
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:47.359
I'm gonna say they don't have to
do that. These guys got enough

420
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.160
money. If you finished in the
final nine, you made nine arcade.

421
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.039
The only thing that I would possibly
think to offer them is. I'd be

422
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.359
like, you can have free rake
back, or you can have a free

423
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.720
room or whatever it is. I
wouldn't would dip into the buying stuff.

424
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.880
Yeah, free room would be a
good. Free room would be good,

425
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.319
you know, and and like an
upgraded room Atlantis a suite or something like

426
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.079
that, you know. I don't
I don't know exactly what's on offer there.

427
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.079
What's atlant it's like to stay at
the actual hotel? Have you stay?

428
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.880
Yeah, it depends where you stay. Um, if you stay over

429
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.279
where like the conference rooms are,
where the tournaments are held. I mean

430
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:22.079
it's it's fine. It's it's not
super nice. It's not really crappy either

431
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.160
way. Um. I mean the
pushback that you get from a lot of

432
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.599
people is the price tag that's associated
with it. Like you pay the price

433
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.319
of let's say, like a win, but you don't get the win,

434
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.759
right. But it's it's fine.
I mean, I don't really know what

435
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:38.480
you're I mean, you're going to
a destination where that the prices are going

436
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:41.400
to be high, especially in December, you know, kind of peak season

437
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.079
to go down there, get out
of you know, the Northeast or some

438
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.599
other colder areas around the us.
So that's fine. But if you do

439
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.480
stay over at the cove, like
on the other side of the resort,

440
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:52.279
and when I mean on the other
side of the resort, it's on the

441
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.480
other side of the resort, like
you have to like take a golf cart

442
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:57.319
to I get to the other side. That's really nice over there, for

443
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:02.200
sure. I've only stayed on the
the main side and it's you know,

444
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.759
it's been fine, but like I'm
every time I've gone, you know,

445
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.440
and a lot of these poker players
too, every time that they go,

446
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:12.720
like you're just going for work or
poker, and like, how often are

447
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.599
you really going to be in the
room? Do you really need like a

448
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.200
super nice room. I mean,
as long as it's clean, as long

449
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.960
as it doesn't smell, as long
as it doesn't have bedbugs and all that

450
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.480
sort of stuff, which none of
this has ever had in my experiences there.

451
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:27.000
You know, it's fine. It's
fine to just sit there and sleep.

452
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:30.839
So all right, I'm packing my
bags, right, Okay, what

453
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.640
are your thoughts on the whole no
deal slash deal or deal it's been going

454
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.480
on? And do you think we
can finally put this to bed now because

455
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.720
we just heard it from mister Wineman
himself, there wasn't a deal. If

456
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.400
there was any year to have a
deal in recent times, this was the

457
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:51.640
year the gap of you know,
six million dollars between first and second.

458
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.559
But it was interesting to like actually
hear from him and how how it all

459
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.119
went down. You know, we
had the group chat and then we got

460
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.039
the end of you know, in
the morning, they're like, you know

461
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.720
what, let's just play. And
then even as he discussed heads out with

462
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.920
Stephen Jones, how they well,
let's play at the level, let's see

463
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:14.079
how it goes. It was very
interesting to hear the deep insight into what

464
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.359
actually happened because you know, as
you mentioned, where everyone was just guessing,

465
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.240
you know, about what was going
to happen. If there was going

466
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.240
to be a deal, What kind
of deal could you could you make here?

467
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:26.880
You know, IICM or just a
plane chop it up three ways.

468
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:32.039
So it's great to hear Daniel kind
of be open about that and you know,

469
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.000
settle it, Settle it once and
for all. Yeah, I agree,

470
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.720
And I mean I don't think from
where I stand. I mean I

471
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:42.000
believe there was no deal both three
handed and heads up play. I've I've

472
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:47.599
now heard it from multiple sources,
including the source Daniel Weinman, that there

473
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:49.519
was never a deal made, whether
that be three handed, whether that be

474
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.720
heads up, whatever was. I
know there's people out that I were saying,

475
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.880
like, no, we heard that
there was a deal. We heard

476
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.240
this, We heard that. It
seems crazy that there wasn't a deal.

477
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.680
Like I've heard it from enough people
that I respect and trust, you know,

478
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.400
and including Daniel Wineman, who we
just heard from. So there wasn't

479
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:08.000
a deal, you know. So
yeah, I mean that's crazy. It's

480
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.359
pretty wild, but that is what
it is. How much proger do we

481
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.680
think Dan Wyman's gonna play going forward? I mean, I guess this can

482
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:17.839
be tied into the whole ambassador thing. I mean, I think we're going

483
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.319
to see him pop his head in
there here and there. I just don't

484
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:23.279
know, Like again, if we're
going to see him fully in the circuit,

485
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:26.720
like all of a sudden, you
just win twelve point one million dollars,

486
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.000
you know, you pay your taxes
and whatever, you have a you

487
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:30.400
know a bunch of money in the
bank. Now, are you're just going

488
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.640
to go out there firing every single
thing? I mean, no, I

489
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:38.759
don't know. It seems like he's
very much into golf and his job,

490
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:41.480
and his job entails a lot of
coding, you know, and he really

491
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.920
seems to love that. So yeah, I think that's where we're gonna see

492
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.359
him, and then we'll probably see
him for some of the bigger stuff,

493
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.079
you know, whether that be the
WSP Paradise in December or WPT. I

494
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.000
mean, he he's also a WPT
champions so it's kind of interesting that he

495
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.240
he specifically is going to have to
choose in December. I mean, Bahamas

496
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.400
is closer to Atlanta, yes,
you know, it's just a very short

497
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:08.039
flight, not that Vegas is super
far away, but um my guests would

498
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.079
be you know, being the reigning
WSP Manament Champion, he'll opt for Bahamas.

499
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.519
But you know, he's also a
WPT champion. He's also WPT Tournament

500
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:19.119
of Champions winner, so you know
he's going to have I guess his heart

501
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:26.119
strings are pulled in each direction.
I'm pretty sure that unless you win WSP

502
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.559
Paradise that you could technically play both. Yeah. I think someone pointed that

503
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.799
the dates it's going to be,
it's gonna be very tight. But assuming

504
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:40.160
there's three days for the World Championship
and assuming you don't make the final table

505
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:45.480
for Paradise and also assuming that closes
out the close out the series, I

506
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.000
think he can play both both.
You're talking about the main events, both

507
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.440
main events, Yes, which ones? First? Paradise is scheduled. It

508
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.680
finishes on the thirteenth, So I'm
going to assume it's very similar to like

509
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:02.079
a WSP Europe and obviously wspre and
the I guess where the main event kind

510
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.519
of finishes right at the end.
So you know, look, if you

511
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:07.960
don't final table that you probably have
a good twenty four hours to get to

512
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:12.400
Vegas. If you do final taple
that, well you can probably get a

513
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.440
private jet and still make it in
time. Well, if anyone can afford

514
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:19.119
a private jet, it's probably Daniel
Weinman right now. So you know,

515
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:25.640
and I would I mean, maybe
WPT hasn't released their full schedule yet.

516
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:26.960
I know they put out the dates, but maybe they do something where they

517
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:32.720
add day two registration or something like
that to allow for those people that would

518
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.680
be to be coming to the Bahamas. So but that's it relatively short podcast

519
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.799
here, but we just wanted to
let you guys hear from Daniel Weinman,

520
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.640
and then Tim and I are going
to be following up next week with more

521
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.000
of our bigger kind of recap on
and everything that happened in the last week

522
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.720
at the World Series of Poker.
We're going to hit on some final questions.

523
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:53.759
We're going to go through our WSP
predictions, see who was right,

524
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:56.319
who was wrong, all that good
stuff. So you guys can stay tuned

525
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.960
to the feed for that and until
next time, we'll talk you wid freak

526
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.799
tonight on chanting Spread
