a community cards. We do, oh, okay, community cards the dusty
main event. We have some unofficial numbers, but pretty close to the real
numbers on the verge of ten thousand. I no longer think eleven thousand is
in play, but but ten thousand is certainly in play. The full on
Poker Go live stream production was underway today, starting with level three well level
eight of the day, Level three of the day, Level eight of the
whole tournament. There were three feature tables in action the first four hours of
the day. We had one feature table up on the horseshoe. Chris Brammer

like he is on top of the counts. We have an interview with Alex
foxon We got to do another coffee bed update. Tim wrote that Donnie talks

text message direct Ready, hats will be on your desk in the morning.
Oh baby, I can't. I don't know how many there are. It
could be twenty five, could be fifty, could be five thousand. Well,
last time we ordered one hundred and fifty, so I would assuming that
we just were running the back. Well, this is it, limited edition,
second time round. This is it. Guys, Come find me,

your warning. This is the last run. Get your emails in now.
Time for a real community car. We had some guy pop by today.
I believe his name is a Niche Patel. He gave both Jeff Platt and
the podcast so you and me a comic book, a very thick comic book.
Wait, I gotline. No, no, we're sharing it. But
I'm taking it because you're playing bad luck you find a Niche saw that the
thing was awesome. Yeah, so I even a little shout out. It's
got Final nine, Poker's first comic book series. This thing was big.
It had some beautiful artwork and basically it is nine players who compete against each
other in the biggest Texas Hold Him Tournament in Vegas to become poker World champion.
Final nine a comic book series based in the highly charged, high stakes,
sometimes CD and always exciting world of tournament poker. Nine will become one
one way or another. So if you're into this kind of stuff, you
want to read something a little different. Final nine comic dot com nine being
the number, we're gonna put a link in our description show some support for
a nish. He wanted to gift us this for the podcast people is I'm
going to take it home because I got it before you and you were busy
playing today, So you can go buy yours on Amazon. I think that's
a fair I already found out on Amazon and put it in my card,
So yeah, I'm ready to get you already supporting him. It's beautiful.
Um, so yeah, shout out a Niche, thank you for the book.
I hope you get some sales. Haven't started reading yet, but the
world looked pretty cool, looked a little saucy, you know, so I
think it'll be a fine you know, once the World Series over and I
jet off to Hawaii, that might take that with me, sit on the
beach and read it lovely. The World Series of Poker main event is well
over nine thousand. As we've previously talked about, we have a little bit
of an update on the numbers, albeit unofficial, but probably pretty close to
official. I mean, it's just about there. It's can't say it's official,
you know, I'm saying pretty close. Yeah, Yeah, what's the
update? When I last got this information, we're about ninety five hundred,
you know, closing in on ninety six. That included some day two D
late registration already. I think ten thousand may be tough to find another four
hundred people on a random Saturday in Las Vegas. Didn't they have five hundred
last year? Yes? But I look, I know you've been very bullish
on all these numbers. I think a lot of people have played early,
and I don't think we're going to see such a big day two. D
Like, Look, I could be wrong. We could get eight hundred people
tomorrow, but just my gut feeling says it's going to be a little closer
to what we got today, which was in the midst of like two hundred.
So I think it's going to be a lower number, and I think
we may fall short. And what would be good though, if we fall
short and get like ninety eight hundred, You know what next year, what
all the marketing is going to be like ten ten thousand and ten thousand for
ten thousand some you know, some kind of thing about that, And I
kind of don't want to hit ten thousand to see what we can do with
that kind of marketing next year. Yeah, I mean in a way,
you know that that's the silver lining. Of course. You know, obviously
people had a lot of high hopes of breaking ten thousand, myself included.
You know, I didn't think it was possible. I mean not that I
didn't think it was possible. I thought it was less likely. I for
sure thought over nine thousand. My number was ninety four hundred. You know,
coming into the summer, all the numbers throughout the summer have been incredible.
Um, you know, kept seeing like this thing was going up and
up and up. If it doesn't break ten thousand, doesn't really matter because
it's still absolute smashing success. They're already they've already destroyed the record. Okay,
it's great. And next year, you know, ten thousand or ten
thousand whatever they got to do marketing scheme, Like, I think that that'll
be pretty badass overall. So so yeah, it's it's pretty sweets, you
know. I mean I I think it's awesome. It's so cool. Um
can't wait to see, you know, what the final number is, what
they come out with for first place prize. You know, I think that
that's gonna be a big thing. So so yeah, I mean we'll see
we get payouts. Do you think on day two day what do you think?
Well, they're gonna need a little more time than normal, and maybe
we won't get them to like morning of day three, good question. I
might get them morning to day three. I don't know, honestly. I
mean usually they usually hit the money end of day three now, right,
So I don't think it's at all possible this year. Well, it depends
how fast people are playing. Who knows. I mean, we're we're gonna
have two thousand more playoffs, like just chips alone and the blinds are the
same, Like we're hitting the we're bursting the bubble two am on day three,
Like that might be four or five am Monday three. Now, yeah,
no, I don't rably hit a dinner maybe dinner break day four,
get everyone in the money, send them off on dinner. Every everyone that
has been playing, like at my tables or around me or whatever, thinks
it's gonna be end of day three, just because that's what it's been in
more recent times, you know. But as you said, yes, way
more players. So you know what's going to happen going forward. I don't
know. Um, we'll see. You know, they usually if they're close
to the bubble end of day three, they might play into the money,
you know, kind of extend the day and then you know, they always
have the option to make the day shorter the next day, bring them back
later, all that sort of stuff. So it would it would suck to
like be you know, I don't know how well how let me say this,
It would suck to be you know, like eight spots away from the
money and send everyone home. They would never do that, you know,
right, I just don't think we're gonna But I'm saying, what what How
close do they have to be a hundred away? I mean hundreds a lot.
They have to be within like literally a table. Yeah, yeah,
no, they have to be these this like out I know, I know
it. Cameraman going back and forth. It's not an enjoyable experience because it's
at two. I am yea if this is a six pm right, like,
I think it's a better time to do it. Yeah, no,
for sure, I mean I'm with you any so, but listen, that
is by far the most exciting, electrifying, dream creating nightmare making bubble.
I mean, it depends on what side of the bubble you're on. Right
in the history of I've been on the bad side of this bubble you have.
There is nothing like the aim and bubble. I absolutely cannot wait for
it. Day two A b C. It looks like Chris Brammer is the
chip leader. And Chris Brammer bagged up the Day one C chip lead.
He wasn't the overall chip leader coming into today, but he was close.
Chris Brammer bagged up eight hundred and seventy nine thousand. I mean what in
the world. It seems like a lot of chips. I have one tenth
of that. M Julio Beluccio eight hundred twenty five thousand, five hundred.
He also bagged up a ton of chips I think on one of these nights,
right, Um, No, No, maybe he like Final Table something
recently. I don't recognize that name at all. Sorry, I for sure
recognize that name. I have no idea where I recognized it. Maybe you
like on your table or something. No google it for me. He like
made the Final Table something, or like went deep in something or recently.
You're in charge of that, Nick, Nick Marchington seven hundred and sixteen thousand.
Nick Marchington has made the WSP Final Table book. This guy who he
won them? He won the mix a big bed Braca like seven days ago.
Yeah, so I told you I remember the name. Nick Marchington seven
hundred and sixteen thousand. Hector, Sarah Sariba Sariva. I'm totally butchering that
last name. Sorry, Hector six hundred and sixty five thousand. You got
Patrick Antonius, Billy Baxter, Steven Chidwick, Tony Miles, Chris Brewer,
for Oz, Joco, Nile Farrell, Michael duek Ak, Mickey Duec,
Doug Folk, Mike Maddison, Josh Are, Jason Coon, Alex fox In.
All look like the they are moving on to the next day. We
have an interview with Alex Foxon because Tim got out there and talk to mister
Foxon about playing under the bright lights on the feature table day to all that
sort of stuff. So let's kick it to the interview with Alex Foxon right
now. I'm here with Alex Foxon, just through on Day two ABC.
Pretty good stack though, three eighty four. Is that what I saw?
Yeah? Yeah, definitely happy with the way to day went, aside from
the fact of being on this hot table the whole time. But as far
as the Stacklin, it was nicely smooth. I asked you about this table.
A couple of pretty good players here and now Fire Brock Wilson for Oz
and Michael. Pretty uncommon to have a stack final table on a day two
of a main event like this. Felt like it maybe a little bit unfair
for you up well, the element of the table draw is less of an
issue to me than the fact that with like hundreds of tables in the tournament,
one table would be on stream for six hours, just because of the
nature of it being a bit more draining, hands go a bit slower,
Maybe some people play a bit differently. Not that that's necessarily an advantage or
disadvantage for everyone, but more more so the energy aspect of it, just
like it is kind of tiring being under the lights, and I think I
would have expected the tables to get rotated every level, just so that it's
like, you know, a bit more fair for everyone because randomly get selected
for one two hour period, all right, but when you make it six
hours because it's a good table, it's like it seems a bit unfair.
But yeah, that was gonna be my next question. You know, as
we do some of these other conference throughout the year, we rod tap tables
every level, but this was obviously stock copy. So see what I mean,
You think it's a little unfair having to play kind of so long up,
Yeah, I guess, yeah, yeah, just just as far as
it being tiring, I mean, it's not, it's not a huge deal.
It's just I just think for like, you know, a lot of
the people at the table, it's just like extra fatigue that you know,
might weigh on them as the tournament goes on type of thing. So obviously
there's a chance you can play on the feature table at anytime. But when
it's not random, as when it seems like there's potential for it to be
someone unfair. Do you think, though, although you might say it's unfair,
you might have an advantage having been on the bride of the bride lives
so often. I definitely do. That's the thing is, like, I'm
not even saying this from a selfish perspective, because I do think that playing
on a feature table does come with quite a few benefits for me personally,
I'm saying, but I just as far as like the you know, the
fairness for everyone else at the table, or like you could even make that
argument from the other perspective of like if someone who has never played here before,
it's really unfair for them to play six hours on a stream under the
lights in the heat, where like, you know, it's something they've never
done before. Maybe or they're really uncomfortable playing poker in general. Better yet,
what they think is a huge number of people watching the way they play
every hand. So yeah, I don't you know, it's not something I
would make a big deal out of might make a comment to whatever floor I
see, but it's you know, it is what it is. But regard
this of that, I'm pretty excited for the stack for for day three.
All right, that was Alex Foxton. How many chips did he bag?
Three? Eight six? Yeah, he had a pretty good day. He
had a pretty stacked feature table. I think, you know, he mentioned
and I kind of asked him about it, but it's like a who's who
people sitting at his table and kind of, you know, severely on the
line how this is why this was a feature table? Um? But yeah,
it worked out for him. We got some former main event winning survivors.
Tom McAvoy, Damian Salis, Scott Blumstein, Joe McKey and Martin Jacobson,
Ryan Reese, Joe Kata, Jamie Gold bagging Chips Baby and Johnny f
Chan are all alive. On the flip side of the coin, plenty of
notable bustouts. Nick Schulman has hit the rail, Jeremy Alison's Brad Owen,
Justin Bonimo, Adam Hendricks, John Hennigan, Isaac Haxon, Humbert To Brennis,
David Peters, Greg Raymer, Ad mateos Dan Zach Brian Rast, Scott
sever and Daniel the Grand New Daniel came in short right and then busted Day
one B chip leader Jean Pierre Vanderspy gone Cia. He's out, and then
there will be a new champion this year because at least compared to last year,
because defending champ Espen George Tad is no more. In the twenty twenty
three DEBISP main event. What's this note? What do you got here?
I want to talk about the two people that just decided to abandon that chip
sax. Oh okay, we had one Minasham Krons. I think that's how
maybe how you say it, you know, left banging to observe Shabbat,
and then someone that's you know, played something about PGT events. Jody Allen,
musician, decided he had a pretty good stock. Decided, Hey,
my friend's wedding. I think I can make this fly. He decides to
leave John on a plane, go to the wedding. He's got day off,
flyback for the wedding, be back here on Sunday for day three.
Um, he hip survived. I sent him a tweet. He's ask him.
He asked the universe, the Twitter universe because someone tell me what my
chip stacks at a new way of sitting after his table broke and I,
you know, tweeted at him that he had, you know, one hundred
and twenty something thousand, uh into day three. But the question is,
I want to pose to you, what would you abandon your chip stack for.
I mean, we've gotten not County health obviously, if you're in a
car accident at all, Yeah, like you're sick, that's different kid being
worn. Yeah, that's just it. I mean, after it was day
six of the main and Dana calls up and says, you better come home.
But it's day six. I mean, i'd say, is the c
section schedule? That's only gonna take a couple of hours, and you know
the main main structure is pretty damn slow. So you know, I'll meet
you at the hospital. We'll pop that baby out and then I'll quickly come
back. I'll come on back. Coffee bet update. Yeah, we're still
pending on day one day. I think you've won that, but we will
wait for final numbers. But today, finally I got one. Finally it
was unofficial. No, no, that that number was official. Okay,
yeah, but I don't want to say it's a fish onto a WSPS as
aficial. Yeah, it makes sense. So I got it by the skin
of my teeth. I finally got the under one coffee in my pocket.
But now day two d last bet, last coffee bet on the well,
let's just pre face saying that we know that there's about one hundred and twenty
Yeah, I'm sorry in three twenty five, three fifty three, eighty four
hundred. Why are you gonna say four ten four of them? Four sixty
four sixty jesus, I don't know, man, you're scaring me. I
gotta I gotta stick with the trend. Four sixty one, four seventy,
four seventy one. I'm gonna buy four seventy one. Yeah, yeah,
I mean, I'm just I'm I'm taking it over no matter what, on
everything, I'm just taking the oak. I'm bullish. I'm bullish on the
WSP main event. That's what I'm I'm just bullish. So before we talk
about new bagging big today eighty two huge, Yeah, so big, so
big. I want to tell I sorry. I went to dinner with Paul
Burman tonight. We went to which is all you do is go to dinner
with look, he gets the media comments. We've got to use him somehow.
So we got to the nice places. Don't you think that's a fair
way to do it. Sure? Yeah, So we went to jack Bean
Steakhouse. Just before the dinner break started. I want to show you this
picture. I would have just steak. The side was a potato baked potato.
The bake poato had all the sides that they look bacon cheese right there.
Yeah yeah, and it hadn't shot glasses, so he pourably didn't smash
that. I want to show you is this little plate right, this little
metal plate or whatever. Horse shoe. It's a horse shoe. That's pretty.
It's awesome. So we both love this. And I was like,
I want to put this on my like little coffee table in my office to
put my keys on. And he's like I wanted the same thing. So
the waiter best service I've had at any restaurant a long time. They were
filling out glasses, just fantastic. He comes over, he's taking stuff,
He's like he's you know, Paul's like, excuse me, I would like
to buy this plate for my friend. He's a big fan of Jack Binion
and he's just telling it this massive like lie. You know, he's a
you know, we work for the WSP, big fan of Jack Bean.
He loves the horses shoe you know, he's big history. Can he buy
this off you? And the guy's like kind of thinks we're joking, but
we're deadly shs And he goes, oh, I don't think. So he
goes, we'll pay for it. We'll give you a hundred. Let me
check up. My manager. Manager comes up, a manager showers us anyway,
guy out way that brings the bill and he goes, Paul lines and
he goes, I'll give you a hundred if you get us some. He
goes, he can't. I can't. He gets like, I can't,
I can't, I can't give this to you, and uh yeah, he
showered us on the we're to get this plate. I'm sure they have hundreds
of them. I would have given it to you for twenty. So I'm
in a mission to find a horseshoe serving plate to put my keys on.
So anyway, let's go. As got to talk about the entrance today with
another entrance today, Guy Fieri, Oh, failing the WSP main EVENTM bracelet.
I will say this I fucking love Guy Fiery. Really, yes,
I think he's awesome. I watched all of his shows using some signers,
drive ins, and dives. I think he's like one of the coolest people
in the world, absolute top top to me. And if you look at
these photos with the Giants necklace, he's got the cigar, He's carrying the
freaking bracelet. This might be the best unveiling of the embrace that they've ever
had. No offense to Vince Vaughan, but Guy did bring some some passion,
some might say some flavor. He's the greatest to the UM. I
know he's the best. He was, actually he was. He was very
into it, which I liked. Um, you could kind of yeah,
it actually worked. I mean, I'm not a guy for you. Every
fan like you. Obviously he's the best. Sure, Okay, I'm not
gonna argue. I'm not gonna but like it felt like it felt fun,
and I think that was Actually it was a group of like top like probably
like top five celebrities in the world that I would want to like hang out
with my day. You're insane, Like we should just start recalling now he's
the best. You must be delirious is the man. Oh my god.
Anyway, but he had this, did the did the bracelet, unveiling post
for some pictures, cigars, tattoos, girls all around him. Then he
had the opening of his rashant that is in the middle between Paris and whole
Shoe. Right, it was pumping. It was always packed. I walked
past. I've never seen so many people in my life, so I guess
I'm in the minority of guy fiery fans. Sounds like there's a lot of
them, a lot of them out there. I'm like, he's the best.
All right, look, let's just relax a little bit. Best come
on. That's right. I think that's all we got. We're gonna talk
about your day. My day sucked for the most part. If you've listened
to this podcast before, you know that I do not like to foold.
I had to fold. I love foldimo, probably more than I ever had
in my life. Today. The level was it? The level after dinner
was the level of four dinner, one of the levels. I'm pretty sure
I didn't play a hand, but it's this because you like were cod dead
or just like you would have a hand bet. It was like open three
bet before you and stuff like that. There were no I mean, I
didn't really have any hands at all today. I mean it was like,
you know, I'm not like trying to complain, I'm just trying to paint
the story, because there are going to be times, you know in poker
when you just you know, you play for a while and you don't get
hands. But this was like, you know, it wasn't even like stuff
that I could even think about kind of getting involved with, like you know,
give me the ash three suited or something like that. It was just
like nine douce off Queen four like. And then there was like this,
there was a couple of spots. Well, well, there was one specific
spot that kept happening multiple times, and that was me and the small blind
versus this guy in the big blind. And the guy in the big blind
started the day as the biggest stack of the day when he was a good
player, I believe from South America or somewhere, but he was a good
player, and for whatever reason, it just kept full. When he a
small blind, he was big blind. I think five different times it folded
to me in the small blind and I'm just like, what can like at
least somebody like open the button or like what, like, what is going
on? I had some older gentleman on the button who I believe was from
Switzerland but now lives in Bermuda. Okay, interesting anyways, and it just
kept folding to me in the small blind, and I like, have I
out of Queen four off ten four off? Like to give a lot of
walks? No? Fuck, no, are you kidding me? Play the
Queen four off from the small I mean I tried, they didn't work.
Did I make it four x prey? I actually never raised to come the
small blind. I always just limped in and I think two times he checked
behind and three times he raised. I didn't want to raise, because I
mean, those are just speculative hands that I don't think flop too well.
I gotta play out a position against a bigger stack all this sort of stuff.
So so yeah, but it was it was tricky all day. I
mean I had to like a deuce four nine three, like just NonStop.
And then like there was maybe one spot that I could have taken when I
had an ace ace eight suited, but that was raised three bet in front
of me, and I was like, whatever, I'm just gonna fold.
But you know, listen. The bee maniment structure is obviously on like anything
else in the world, so you can do that for extended periods of time.
I did get all in today twice. I was all in on day
one CE survived obviously, it was all in twice today survived both times.
You can't lose if they can't kill you, exactly. I doubled up through
Nick Airball. Nick araball gets moved to my table. He's getting a massage
of the whole time, sleeping, both in between hands and during hands,
Like multiple times he'd like be in a hand and he's asleep. No,
I swear to god, he was like he was asleep. He kept saying
like I haven't slept him, been playing high stakes cash and all that sort
of stuff, so he's like just flat out of sleep. But I ended
up doubling up through him. I opened the cut off with pockets sevens with
the seven seven A hearts. He called from the big blind. It came
five high with two hearts five three deuce two hearts. He checked. I
bet fifty five hundred into I think like seven k. I sized up pretty
large. He check raised all in. I quickly called all in for like
twenty eight K or something like that. He had eight five with the five
hearts and it ran out six of hearts Queen Hearts, so my seven hearts
played, although I was ahead the whole time, so that was a good
double up there. And then later on in the nights again I had twenty
five K with thirty minutes left to go in the day, just like a
brutal just absolutely brutal, just fully non stop, NonStop, NonStop for playing
last level the day was one K, two K, just full, full,
full, NonStop, NonStop, NonStop. They finally break me out of
this room into the other room. Also, these Romanians I played at the
Romanian on day one. See he was all over the map. I mean
he played kind of good, but he was also like I couldn't pin him
down. There was a romaaniing at my table today. I mean, I've
never seen a guy go runner runner in spots when like you, I have
no like, I have no idea how he even like got to these rivers
and he would just like go run or runner straight and he was just wrecking
people like out of like out of note like people would have like people would
flop top set and he would like go run or runner double gut shot,
like it's just insane stuff. Um. And he was joking like because he
so he has he gets to like all the chips and he's joking because they
have to do the color up for the hundreds and they give him the racks
and he's like, what what do I do with this? And we're like
you have to color up. He's like sorry. He's like I've never made
it this far and you know, and then then he like he like plays
some hands like super weird and he's like, you guys, understand why I
haven't made this far. We're like, yes, we understand why you haven't
made this far, Like you play like an idiot? Um. But it
was it was, I mean he was he was like good, but also
like he just never folded ever, like never folded. He was just always
in hand. He was never folding. He was always kind of chasing things
down like all this sort of stuff. So anyway, I get moved to
the other room. So this guy's gonna make the final table is basically his
name is like ras Thon or something, Robson or whatever. I could look
up his name, but so I double up through airball hair Ball ends up,
doubling enough through me because he was like super sharp. He had like
six K or five K or something. He doubles up through me. He
actually tribled up because there was another guy in the hand, but then he
busts. Later on he gets moved from the other table. I get moved
to this outer to the other room, which was easily fifteen degrees warmer than
this room, easily maybe twenty degrees warmer. So I go over there.
I am down to like twenty five K. I when I raised one hand
and win it. Then I doubled up when the cutoff raised. The blinds
are one two. The cutoff makes it five K. The button calls,
I have ah jack of diamonds in the big blind and twenty eight K,
and I go all in. The original razor folds. The other guy calls
with king jacks or in a great spot comes jack. Hi, we hold
double up there. Then I want a hand with Ace ten of spades.
Guy in middle position opens. I flat Ace ten of spades on the button.
It comes Ace three deuce rainbow, no spades. He checks. I
checked behind, turns the Queen of hearts, putting two hearts out there.
I think it was Ace of Hearts and Queen of Hearts. He checks,
I bet six K. He calls River is a five. He checks,
I check and he has King Queen, so I win. Then I had
Ace King and I raised, got called in two spots, got called behind
me either on the cut I race from like the hi check of the LoJack,
and then the cutoff called the big blind called as well. It comes
eight six six action checks around turners a six action checks around again, rivers
a seven, Big blind checks high check button bets, big blind folds.
I call, he's got jack high. So we win that one. And
that's what led us to bag and he would be proud of me. Final
hand of the night. I'm in the big blind. They deal me the
Ace nine off fouled. I did fold. They folded the two races pre
before anyone's acted. Yeah, that's funny, you see, I didn't.
I don't know if I I don't know if this is like newer this year,
or if I'm just seeing it more than I have before. But there
are a lot of people that like they just f off at the end of
the night. They do not they don't play the final hands. Yeah,
like I saw Eliot Leser got off from the table as I'll see you guys
later. Yeah, they want to beat the traffic. No I know,
but it's like they want to beat the traffic. Like there's like, you
know, I feel like the more unknown players or amateur players, recreationals,
whatever you want to call, all of them are just like standing around just
like literally they just don't want to play a hand because they want to make
it to the next next level. There was a couple of people on both
nights that were just like standing in the area but like just folding, like
their hand was getting killed. But they were like ten feet from the table
and then they would bag their chips like this is weird. So I bag
eighty two. K I feel great, and yeah, let's go. That's
what's gonna happen. Hopefully I can hopefully I can actually get a day where
I can like not fold a lot. Yeah. Then again it's working.
Um, I'm definitely like figuring stuff out still, Like in the in the
main event, like there's there's some spots that I'm I don't know if they're
I don't know if I want to say that there's spots that I'm passing up.
More So that I'm just not like getting involved in certain hands just because
of like the main event and you know how good the structure is. And
also like I haven't been obviously the deepest, but still like even when you
have like thirty forty k at points today, I mean I still have like
thirty big blinds, so it's not like the worst thing in the world,
you know, but like there's times on like maybe all flatter rais with like
the old nine seven suited stuff like that, but I've just been electing to
just fold them. Not really good, is right, Yeah, I mean
I don't really like to be tight. Yeah, we not. But you
know, there was a couple of spots when I might have could have checked
raised some some flops but I opted not to. One was early and it
was against that Romanian guy, and after like we started we played a little
bit more. I was like, well, good a thing I didn't check
raise that flop because this guy would have just called and then just never folded
and I probably gone run a hunter and you know whatever. But that's being
results oriented and I can't be that way. Um. But yeah, I
mean I thought I played all right. Today was a test of patience.
I'm happy that I feel like I passed that test of patience. So now
I'm ready to just get hit in the face of the deck. So poker
Gods, if you could just make that happen, just smash me in the
face of the deck. I did see Aces today, I saw Kings today,
and I saw Queens, so I feel like things are progressing in that
direction. So Aces, I won a three bet pot, guy raised,
I three bet, he called, then he checked folded flop. The Queens,
I raised one, guy called, he check folded flop. And then
the Kings. My three bets, someone pre flop and they folded. So
that's all that happened there. I didn't really get into any big conversations with
those big premium hands, but you know, chips of chips, and I
will continue to chip up. For those that don't know, there was two
events running today outside of the main event. I did not know that until
tonight. Like tonight, I knew that. I don't know how I knew
that. I feel like somebody was talking about it yesterday. But we had
Themonomaha Bounty twelve hundred and fourteen players. They're on the bubble Ryan. Now
that was the one that Shawn Deeve was like, yeah, he jumped in
on than me. Yes, I'm going to go over there. Is he's
still in? I don't think so because he was back in the main,
but you know you could probably four. You know he's out zero zero,
But anyway, they're on the bubble right now, one hundred and eighty three
in the money. Do not see anyone super cool on top of the leader
board, but first prize didn't see anyone super cool? Yeah, look,
you know it's a PLO Mounty, so I mean, you know you've got
to be right top tier to get a mentioned. But one hundred and seventy
one K for first There. The other event that started today the seven seven
seven Lucky sevens two hundred and twenty one players, sixty four bag chips,
Thomas Bland as a chip leader, Jerry Yang fourteenth in chips Tier one.
Notable right there? Wow, But yeah, two events going on. Day
one B of Lucky seven tomorrow. Day two of the PLO will be tomorrow
along with Day two D of the main event, and Donnie, do you
know who is going to be on our feature table to start at one pm
on the Pugo YouTube channel um, No, I got no idea. Phil
how Man seventeen time bracer Win I and Nicholas Dirty Diaper Rigby one of the
CHIP leaders battling it out on the horseshoe table. I mean, that's not
going to be a real table. You cannot miss this guy's one pm on
Saturday, July eighth, come to pokagoa YouTube remco and Kim is on the
call? Are you on the Kuldomar? I mean, I guess so?
All right, well, hey, it's gonna be a good table. It
sounds fake this stay all right? Definitely who's on the table? Helm with
and Nick Rigby? But anyone else? No one Like that's the story right
there, just those two guys. I feel like there's never been a bigger
chance that Helmy is gonna get sent into orbit yep than with Nick Rigby.
Does Helmy's know who Nick Rigby is? No chance? Does he know about
the diaper and the dirty diaper? Nick Rigby is gonna go out of his
way. You can over the Douce three against Phil Helmet and we will see
the explosions, and you know it's going to be absolutely outrageous if that happened.
And this, Yeah, it's I'm looking forward to this. I don't
think I'm gonna set up in a normal dungeon tomorrow. He's gonna set up
ad here so I can watch the potential train wreck that's coming on the horse
shotan. I mean, hell, he bagged up a healthy stack on day
one d but Nick Rigby has a ton of chips, so he could put
a hurt and on Helmy. Supposedly in the final level he had about like
seventy thousand, of course, I mean yeah, and then it's what did
he finish with? He finished with, um, I think close. I
think it was around three hundred, right, Yeah, he did very well.
It's just gonna it's gonna be nuts. I mean, you could definitely
tell when when when Rigby made his run, right, like he was trying
to play the three deuce like as many times as possible, put people in
these crazy spots like do it for the TV moments. You could tell he
was trying to do that now against hell youth. I mean that's like the
ultimate is I mean, right, I believe we Rigby wasn't on TV until
like day four or five of the main event. He's gonna be on TV
day two like just licking these lips at the prospect. I can't even imagine
getting I can't imagine what this is going to be like. It's gonna be
absolutely out of control. So another five levels are on tap. Four Day
two D then that well, that takes place on Saturday, July eighth.
Then on Sunday, that's when the survivors from both the fields both day two
fields combine, they converge into one and we will play on. So it's
gonna be a crazy day. I'm interested to see how big that number gets.
I'm interested to hear the final tally in the WSP main event, the
record setting twenty twenty three World Series of Poker main event. I can't wait
to see the hellmuth Rigby show. That's going to be out of control.
It goes all day. I hope it goes all day. You know,
I'm just looking forward to it all. I mean, there's nothing like this
tournament. It's absolutely incredible. So it's going to be an app salute the
last. All right, that's gonna do it for us. We got nothing
else to say. We're gonna get home, We're gonna try and get some
sleep. It's two am here at the Horseshoe and uh yeah, Day two
d tomorrow, tune on into Poker Go. What time does it start?
One pm? The stream sounds one pm. Tune on into poker Go.

gonna be a lot of fun. My name is Donny Peters, his name
is Tim Duckworth, and we will talk to you guys later. The place
