Attention, attention, Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to the poker radio audience near and far. It is now time for a brand spanking, spiffy and new shout out to some of our most loyal listeners who likely got a bit too lucky on the weight of the spotlight. You're listening to the number one poker show in the land, and it's time for a new edition of the Poker Go Podcast Community Cards. We chatted with William Plitz yesterday. We did, but we forgot the man who stole my hat. Yes that I had to go by. I had to go buy a forty two dollar hat today. It's a very nice man. And to this hat is dope. I saw it on someone yesterday. It's made of corduroy, it's it's got the rope on it. Yeah, it's made of corduroy. It's got the world. When I say it's got the World Series of Poker logo, it's not the normal World Series of Poker logo. This is a new one. I had never seen before until This is the millennial logo. This is the logo that we saw on our gentleman with the sweatshirt that we started to Yellow podcast. Yeah. Well I saw this on someone get that sweat shirt the match it. I saw the hat and I said, you know what, the hat. Trump's the sweatshirt for me. So I'm just gonna get the hat. And I got the hat tomorrow. One day one. See when I'm in there battling, let's go okay community story. We spoke to William Clitts hatgate man, but we also forgot to mention someone else that put back chips in their bag on day one day. That was Manny Delometer. He backs did see Manny out there five thousand and four hundred. He did double up early. It was a bit of a slow downhill gride. But I wanted to bring his name up because he was the first player to kick start this whole lucky Hat thing. When he goes seventh place in an event seven. Yes, right, he kickstarted the whole thing. He did. That is very nice. Shout out Manny, shout out Mannie. The reason I bring him being him up because speaking of hats, there is no update because our Lord and Savior of the Sharp Patrick Knight was playing the main event today. He was in the field. He won his seat through one of the one hundred and sixty dollar would only come. Didn't even realize he won. He was cheering on the wrong avata. I didn't know how you do that. Really well, he's feeling it. Then he thought he had lost and he actually had won. Patrick great, but he played today. It's the first time he's playing the main event. I believes in two thousand and six hit Gayle Bauman, who is most of you remember from running deep in the main event one year. I think she finished maybe eleventh finished, yeah, tenth or eleven, eleventh her and Elizabeth hill A you know, back to back to back race. Yeah, he didn't have a great day, but he did bag chips. He bagged twenty thousand and five hundred. He advanced chips in the bag. Yeah, that is twenty five bigs, twenty five and a half bigs heading into day two days, the first blinds will be four hundred eight hundred. You finished at three hundred six hundred. Then you go into four to eight hundred, so twenty five bigs there. Listen, it's plenty. Okay, it's plenty. It may not seem like a lot, but you just gotta survive. It's better than bust thing kings ices back to back first level of the main event, like ivan the one did on Day one A long es Yes, all right, ten thousand dollars WSFP main event. So Day one A last year had seven hundred twenty one entries this year. I do have some conflicting numbers. I know, we said yesterday one thousand and eighty. I heard today it was one thousand and thirty nine. These these were these were not confirmed numbers. Yeah, so I mean it's somewhere in that range one thousand and thirty to one thousand eighty. I would say, so let's call it one thousand and fifty. You know, you would still win the coffee. I still win the coffee. And it's still an uptick of around three hundred or more entries over the prior year, which is awesome. Okay, Day one B last year I think had eight hundred or so. I'm pulling it up right now, give you one sake, okay, Day one B eight seventy eight, last number, eight seventy eight last year. This year looking like a top to eleven hundred, so another very good uptick on the day. Also, we were wondering what was going to happen with it being the fourth of July, you know, would the number kind of plateau? Might it even be a little bit less than one A? It was bigger, which is a great sign. Already what twenty three hundred people give or take, playing them an event, well, as far as I'm concerned, well on their way to beating the record. Okay. I did some digging, yes, go ahead, and I got the number today. It was probably an hour ago, so obviously could have gone up a little bit more. But they did have a number of one, one hundred and seventeen for Day one B. As you mentioned, the person I spoke to also gave me one C. We're already, you know, fourteen hours before cards are in the air, we're already at seventeen hundred. Love it, okay. So I had that and I asked, you know, how about one day could you give me some one D numbers eight hundred already, I mean, if they're already at seventeen hundred for one C where we ask too, I feel like I feel like once he's got a shot four thousand, eight hundred already. Well, yeah, I feel like one se I was gonna say, I just feel like once he's got a shot to top three thousand. It's a big number. No, I know, but I feel like it's got a shot. I'm not saying it's COMMI okay, it's got a shot. Yeah, you're right, Yeah, it's got a shot. Shot. And if it does or even if it gets close to it, if you get over five thousand entries from the first three starting flights, I mean we're way on top. Then. I've never felt more confident than ten thousand is in play. Ever. Yeah, well, let's not forget we mentioned it. We mentioned it yesterday. We got a big boost on day two. Day Lassio, yea, we might not get that this yet. No, I think we're gonna get. You know, the chip leader from day one B Jean Pierre vendor Spy two hundred and eighty seven thousand, which is fewer chips and yesterday yesterday's chip leader was three hundred and eighty nine thousand. That was Israel Blue was an Israeli player, Yehuda Dion, three hundred eighty nine thousand, nine hundred. Um, you also had Shoda Nakanishi, the Japanese player who one the ten thousand dollars short deck event last year. He bagged three hundred and sixty thousand, one hundred. So those two players both over well, I'm saying both those those players were over three hundred thousand. Then you have high chie Hoe on day one, a who bagged two hundred and eighty seven thousand, four hundred, which is four hundred ships more than Vanderspy bagged today. So that's kind of interesting to me. Um, walking through the two fields yesterday and today today looked like a much better field if you were playing, UM, just a lot less, know, a lot fewer notable players. You know, there was there was a couple tables that had two to three notables. I don't really think anyone had more than that. Maybe one table had more than that, but most of them was kind of like one table, one notable at the table if you had one notable, you know, so in a way, I was kind of kicking myself. We're not playing this day, Um, you know that's aid whatever. Maybe I'll get some hungover, hungover people tomorrow who are sun you know all that. Maybe they you know, had some fireworks, injuries or something that are bothering them while they play, and it makes it easy for me. Who knows that Jean Pierre vander Spy, who is the chip leader. As I mentioned two hundred and eighty seven thousand, you had Julian Martini bagging up quite nicely, two hundred and eighty four thousand and seven hundred, Zuzi Ding two hundred and eighty four thousand and five hundred, Gar Cheung two hundred eighty one thousand, five hundred, Andrew Graham two hundred and seventy seven thousand, seven hundred, plenty of other notables making it through. I just want to mention chipcounts. Sorry we were I was walking the field the entire loss level, trying to find a stand you know, a chip later that just was blowing blowing pasta everyone so I can talk to them. And as I talked to some of the Poking news peeps out there, because like they were like the thirteen people within like ten k. It was like that's always a little so hot. The tod like fine, you know, I stand alone, big chip later that we could like, you know, a little bit of prep and maybe talk to this guy wasn't even on the list. Jean Pierre wasn't even on the list, and you know he might have been let's say he was two twenty five and then he wins a kind of a big pot at the end of them. I mean, you know, that could have happened as well. So yeah, it's always tricky to get the chip leader at the end of the day, especially in these big fields, you know, when there's people everywhere, there's people in two different rooms, all that sort of stuff. Some other notables bagging up chips and advancing to Friday's Day to ABC are Patrick Antonius, Cole Ferraro, Chris Brewer, Greg Mueller, David the Dragon fam Scott sever David Bach aka gun Slinger, Ben Mintz, just the Destroyer Mincy. He's out there, he's battling. I think he put like thirty thousand or something like that in the bag, so not a lot, but you know, he did an interview at the end of the day with Jeff Platt that we played on the live stream where you know, saying like, listen, it's happy to be alive. Half chips. Plenty of blinds are going into day two and I'll worry about that when I get to it. Isaac Haxton, Alan Kessler, Humbert o'brennis, Jason coon Hall bagged up hip. Jason Kune baged up eighty five thousand. He was on an outer table and then for the last level we moved him to the feature table. Had a fun table. There was actually nine Jason Kuhne's there because Jason Kune gave his team Pro patches gig Poker Team Pro patch which said like I think it says, gig Poker Team Pro and then his name, Yeah, and every single player at the table had one. And the story is that one player asked for one, he gave it to him, and he had a bunch of them on him, like many of the team pros for the various sites too, and then everyone at the table wanted him and not only did they want them, they all put them on, so they were all on the players while they played. It was it was a fun table. Jason didn't get too involved at the table, played pretty much one like meaningful pot on that feature table during the last level, but still was able to bag up twenty five thousand more than he began the day with, and afterwards, Tim caught up with him for an interview. I'm here with Jason Kuhne, Day one B survive officer and proud new papa. So, firstly, how has it been at harm you know, a new kid. How's everything been going. It's amazing. Man Bianca is doing the most of the work in a surprise there, but baby's packing on tons of weight already. His older brother is very happy he's around. It's just been amazing. Yeah, this time around, it's been a lot less stressful. We kind of you know, the first time, you feel like you're gonna break them every time you pick them up, and you don't know how to feed them. And yeah, this time it's a lot more relaxed and it's just been really, really awesome two weeks. It looks like you're bad, you know, a little bit of profit today five up thousands and ships. Yep. Ninety five percent of the time you're up here on a feature table, you're playing for big money against top opponents. But this was a you know, a very different experience today. So how was your day you know up here in that last level. Yeah, it's just amazing. Um, we had a great table. Everybody was here to have a good time, some really good players. But you know, it was a combination of seeing pretty high level play, especially for day one of the main event, and people being laid back and having good laughs. And yeah, I think everybody had a really wonderful time. And I'm more than happy to bag near ninety K. I think I peaked at maybe ninety five as nice and smooth and coming into day two with one hundred BB is all we need. It looked like you're having a lot of fun up here. And I noticed that a lot of these guys are wearing Team Jason kone patches. What's going on with that? So one guy just saw me wearing one, and he's like, give me one of those, and they just happened to drop them off to me today, So I was like, yeah, sure, and then just everyone at the table wanted to start putting them on. So I was like, all right, I'm not gonna say no. It's kind of funny. See, just everybody was like, I think one person said multiverse Jason Kun, which I thought was very, very funny. But yeah, everybody had a great time. You've got a couple of days off. Now, yeah, what do you what are you going to do to prepare for you know, two A. Is this something that you know you're not really gonna change your plans or what's the meaning? Yeah, and definitely note nothing xcruciated in the next couple of days. Get ready for the for the big grind. So gonna work out and hang out, family, relax, not think too hard, not look at anything poker related, and just come in with a call mine and and say I can make a deep run. All right. That was Jason Coon, fresh off the berth of his new baby wife, said, go play, gotta win us some money. Medical bills are high. I get it, you know, you get it. We get it. You know, we're dads. Some medical bills, you know, the new bond of sort of stuff. So yeah, not toys. Remember it ain't cheap. It ain't cheap. So that was Jason. And he's moving on a couple of days off to hang out with his family and then he'll be back on Friday. Also surviving former WSP Main Event champions Greg Raymer and Johnny Chan and then I would say champions with an asterisk because not technically well no, I mean, I don't want to say WP made event champion Barry Shulman and Adrian Mataos because they won Europe, so I don't know, listen, they are an event champions. I just don't want to confuse the audience out there because they might not know. And those are Dubsity Europe made of End champions Barry Schulman and Adrian Mateos. You had Jimmy d Ambrosio getting eliminated, Steve Buckner, Akacauz, Keith Lear, Andy Black, Jackie Burkhardt, Lexi, Gavin Michael, Trevette, Johann and Gilbert and Martin Cabrell were all eliminated on the day. Jimmy d Ambrosia was on the feature table to start the day. That was an interesting feature table. Jimmy was in Seed five like within a half an hour was ordering shots of course um spark plug shots for everyone. All those I have no idea, but some people didn't want them with alcohol, but so he got I think he got four without alcohol, five with alcohol ordered those. I think he even had to write down like how they're made for the server on. I've never heard of I mean, couldn't tell you what it is. I'm assuming i've heard of them. I don't know exactly what it is. I know that they're pretty common. It's like, you know, spark plug, a lemon drop, a Yeager bomb, whatever whatever may be. Like I'm assuming you just go up to the bartender, you say I want this, and then they just know what it is, right, So, I mean, I don't think it's that hard. Um. I think it involves them espresso though, So I don't know. I don't know what was it. But anyway, Jimmy had one of those, spilled his red bull all over the table, you know. Of course, of course Jimmie D would do that. He was talking up a storm. At one point, you had Rhonda Martino and Jackie Burkhard on the same table. They sang the entire star spangled banner. Oh that's what it was. They sang the whole thing. I didn't really know what to do on the live stream. I just let them sing and I didn't But I mean, there was a lot a lot of people were like, what is this in the chat? Hit the mute button. I don't know what's going on. I really didn't know what was going on either. Remco had happened to step out to go to a bathroom break right before that happened, so I was kind of caught off guard. It was. It was very interesting, but was it. They crushed it. They did very well with it. They were playing right before that. There was no word like at the table like him talking about it. No, Martino was like, let's sing it. Ty tried to get the whole table to sing it, and only Burkhart agreed. And then Jimmy was like, they tried to get Jimmy and Jimmy was like, no, I'll just do like the drums and stuff. But then Jimmy yelled out you know when they say um, when they say the night thing, you know, and at the Veggas Golden Nights game they say nights, Um, Jimmy yelled that out. So you know, at one point Jimmy was standing up with his hand over his chest like it was the whole thing. Um. It was very interesting. UM. So yeah, so that's a Day one B the Dubs coming events. Um, later on we'll do our coffee bet again for day one, so we'll see if Tim can finally pull one back. What time are you getting here tomorrow? Early? You're gonna have a coffee for me when I sit down to play. Maybe I started twelve. I want to be here very early, which I don't know why or whatever reason. I was under the impression that the made him it started eleven. It has four. Yeah, it always has all summer long the last few years. I mean, I'm no, you under the impression because we used to eleven am. Staff. Yeah, for some reason it changed this year. Yeah, I mean I'm kind of happy it changed, to be honest, No, I'm not. It's one four. I'm happy it changed for this specific day, but I feel like he should go back to eleven am, like starting day two. Whatever. I don't know. Whatever, you gets out of here early. I want to see some fireworks. Actually I did see fireworks. Could hear the you know what? WI some of the video of my son. They went to a friend's house for Fourth of July and he let off. He's like, like, what is it when? What's the fire? What is it when you hold the stick and it shoots out the fireworks? Roman candle whatever? Yeah, he did one of those, never done one before. Okay, so how he said one thousand dollars minimn event wrapped up today. This event had five thousand, two hundred and fifty seven entries and it was Bradley Gafford winning it all five hundred forty nine thousand, five hundred and fifty five dollars. I have no idea where this have an even played out? Was it in Paris? Yeah? I had a couple of people ask me today and where's the mini main events over in Paris? Gafford beat Josh Reichert in heads up play. Josh Reichert is the owner of fourteen wis Ape circuit rings. Is that a real number? Yeah? And he's you know, he's second all time to Halkins. I don't know his number one. Um, I just know that Reichard is never It's very impressive that is still hasn't ever bracelet though, so he's getting closer to that second place to finish their nice chunk of change for REI card. But it is Bradley gaffer taking home the lions share. The price will almost five hundred and fifty thousand dollars twenty five hundred dollars Big Bet Mix three hundred and seventy seven entries in this one. Julio Beluscio winning at all one hundred and ninety thousand, two hundred and forty dollars for the win. Four Beluccio, he takes it down ten thousand dollars pot limit Omaha High Low Championship, two hundred and seventy seven entries in this one. Hassan Kamel winning it all Auzy Auzy Auzy bo o oy mo fos the Australian Hassan Komel taking it down five hundred ninety thousand, six hundred and thirteen dollars. Do you know Asankomel you covered him or like I've covered him? I could not recognize his name. I've actually played with him when I saw it. When I saw it a long time ago, a long long time ago. Um, he was crushing that entire event and just basically put a lock on it, and you know, I put a little I want to tell some stories about this, Okay, he's he's three handed. This story's been relayed to me by you know, our friend podcast list to Paul Bowman, and he was saying that I think one of the players kept saying, you know, you always have aces you always have have aces. And then he wanted big hand on something. He showed his hand and he had one ace. And you know how, I'm not going to repeat this on the air because we are you know, family m gg raided podcasts. But Australians like to use a word the starts with c and ends with tea, and I mean it's a very common and he's like the guy who's always have aces, he always have aces, and he does, look I only had I only had one of the seas this time or something. But anyway, he wins the event. Very Australian thing to say. Yeah, he wins the event and they're like, okay, we're going to take you to the horseshoe for photos. And he's like, well, what the hell is the horse shoe? And he goes They're like the other room. He's like, what other room? So supposedly this was his first ever bracelet event and that whole that whole time I played in Paris Purple, so he never had to come here, no rejoin here, played three three days or whatever it was. They walk him over here, we're gonna take your photo and like Paul's telling him this stuffy yeah, we're gonna take your photo. Blah blah, goes. I really need a cigarette. So he just on the wall, just stops to have a cigarette. He comes back. Now you probably haven't had a chance to look, but you need to look at some of these winner shots. They move over to here secondary table A. There's no chips, there's just four cards and he's bracelet. He's putting the bracelet. He's wearing it as a belt. He's hanging it from his mouth. He's he's he's this this winner photo that I'm seeing right now on dot com is is weird because there's no chips. He has a cigarette. He has a cigarette in his mouth. He's got far Hard Junior over here like it's it's it's so good, it's good. But like he did, they did a photo shoot like they were proposing for GQ. And like in the background player of the Rob Campbell bracelet winner, James Obbs like it was interesting. It was a true Australian bracelet win and we ruined your Independence day. For the two Americans that finished second, infant and fourth and whatever, they got enough money. I think they're fine with them. The US online fifty three hundred dollars nolam at hold them high roll or championship. That is a mouthful. Lordy m four hundred and eight total entries in this one. I think it was three hundred and four unique players, one hundred and four re entries, three hundred ninety three five hundred and sixteen dollars for first place. There are six players remaining, so on Monday they played the tournament and they stopped it online. At the final six, Sam saw Roll was leading the way ahead of you all. Brauncheden, Alexei Ponikov's Ethan yeow Aka, Rampage linkn Lou and Gurgle Coolsar probably butchered those last two names. I apologize. Those are the final six players. I believe they're guaranteed eighty thousand dollars. They're gonna return on Wednesday, July fifth. Cards will be in the year at noon Vegas time. The live stream will begin at one pm Vegas time. Again. That will be on poker Go and the poker Go YouTube channel. Remco Rinkima is going to be on the call with Ben Mints. They're gonna be handling the action for this one. Taking it home. I'm guessing it doesn't take too long. I mean, it's kind of a faster structure because it did come from online. I'm taking overs on whatever you're suggesting. I feel like it's going to take a while. Done by five starts at noon, I mean five hours, forty minute levels. I think that there's a lot of there's some big money up for grabs. Yes, so of course there's big money up for grabs. Yeah, I mean, I think we're gonna it's a that's a good line. I would have to take overs just just but who knows it six Max, maybe Ethan Yowe and Sam Saw will just go bunkers and it ends industry house. You never know, but that one will be a fun one to watch. And then that's gonna lead right into Poker Goes Day one. See live stream coverage that will kick off at pending any any extended play in that online event is planning to kick off at seven pm Vegas time, and then, like we have been doing for the past two days, we'll take it home for the final three levels of Day one. See again, all of that coverage is going to take place both on Poker Grow and the Poker YouTube channel. It all starts at one pm Vegas time. So tune on in and let's get it done. All right, the coffee bet it's time I gotta buyd a pick with producer Rich. You saw the conversations this morning about a lot of things about Chinese auction. I mean a lot of thinks is for sure the best way to know. But but you don't understand either. A lot of thinks is when you don't have it, you basically don't have a real answer. We're just talking, but we're talking about the auction process. It's called a Chinese auction. Yeah, but I thought a Chinese auction had to do with like raffle tickets and putting them in things, and like getting is you just bid up and you would take on doz all you bid the number up. See. I didn't think that that was what a Chinese also think. And I also think Google disagrees with you. Yeah, because it's a big Wikipedia entry on the Chinese auction on Google. I actually think there is and I don't think it anyways, I'm gonna know. I'm gonna google it right now. I'm gonna google at this morning and he said, is a Chinese auction? This is great? Radio Rich can do whatever if he wants is saying events that combine silent auction with the raffle. Bidders buy tickets use them to bid on items. The more you want something, the more tickets you want to buy and put them in to increase your chance. Okay, that's one. That's not what you're saying. Look, I've been in this world a long time. Terms, Chinese auction refers to any type of silent auction at which bidders buy tickets and submit then in hopes of winning a prize. So I have no like, this is not to me. What's your silent auction? That's not a Chinese auction. That's a silent auction. Chinese auction also known as a petty penny, raffle, or chance auction. I mean, like, none of this stuff is is fine? Talking about what you were saying? Is it's all that I'm saying? Listen, did I want to argue with Google? This is I'm not going to get this. This is from the New York Times, Okay, because I'm gonna read this. This from the New York Times. It is believed that the term arose in the lat nineteenth century, when discrimination against Chinese immigrants was prevalent. During this period, the Chinese Exclusion Act was instituted, barring Chinese immigrants from entering our country. Chinese auction, which is in quotation marks, is also known as a penny raffle or chance auction. At the time, Chinese laborers were paid low ages, and Chinese came to mean cheap in American slang because the raffle tickets are inexpensive. Perhaps this led to the characterization Chinese auction. Look up a lot of things. I mean, I'm just saying, I get no New York Times. It's probably as valuable of a resource here as we're going to get. Look, I'm just saying, I've always this article a guide to successful Chinese auctions for nonprofits. I don't know. I don't know the nonprofit that is going to be doing the lauden things things. What do you google? Ladden Thinks What Ladden Thinks. Ladden Thinks is a proposition betting game that is invented at the World Series of Poker Europe by poker pros Philock and Antonio found a Yadi. Yeah, I mean, I don't We're saying a lot of things to you, but yes, we're not doing exactly a lot of things. We're doing the auction process. Well, let's see the process a lot of things. Let's what we were telling. Let's start at a seventeen hundred, because we have that. See it's a good number. Twenty four hundred, twenty five hundred, twenty seven hundred, twenty seven oh one, twenty seven fifty, twenty seven fifty. Wow, that's big, twenty seven fifty one days It tomorrow one seed Wednesdays Wednesday, so many people hung over might not even get out of bed until day one day, I hope. Two. Two nine eighty five, What in the world, I mean, too many? You've had outs on every number, so five do you really want to buy? Yeah, I mean why not? Two nine eighty six, let's go. Let's go. Three thousand, three thousand and one, one, three thousand and twenty five, three thousand and twenty six, three thousand and fifty, two thousand and fifty one. Just give me your your I'm trying to think me give me your best and final, and I'll probably just take the one over because unlike you, I'm you might think extremely positively. I'm very optimistic. What do we have three thousand and fifty one people, well, then take the under if you want, do whatever you want. Thirty two hundred there is on under full And I played you so, I just wanted a little bit more of a buff. I played you so well, Oh man, I played you so well. Bet, so I think it's gonna be a big number. But I mean, come on, thirty two hundred seems crazy. And if listen, if I lose it, that's as president of Folker Grow Uncle Moury DONI always says, I'll happily lose that. Bet. I'm already up two coffees on you anyway, so speaking, I'm gonna pay you with your own money. Speaking of day one, c Yeah, are you ready? Are you ready to jump in there? Are you ready to Yeah? I am ready to go. Um, it's gonna be fun. Um. I mean, I feel like I played some pretty good poker all summer long, so I'm ready to get out there and battling. Um. You know, I was talking to a friend yesterday or the day before, but um, it's interesting. I'm I still always get extremely nervous entering poker tournaments, and it does not matter if if it's the one hundred and fifty dollars south Point nightly, or if it's the freaking ten thousand dollars main event, I get the same amount of nervousness headed in. I always question if I belong to be there and if I'm good enough to play at the table. And then I start playing, you know, it all kind of comes to me. I start seeing some hands and I'm like, okay, like I'm you know, I believe that I'm good enough to be here, but I also don't. I don't mind that I feel that way. It's the same sort of thing like every time when I used to play a soccer game, whether it was high school, college or whatever. Like you would start going to the game, you'd have butterflies in your stomach. You know, you'd be a little bit nervous. You'd you'd be warming up, looking across the field seeing your opponents, being like, oh, like are they they look pretty good? They look pretty fast, they look quick, they look like they got skills, like are we gonna be able to compete with them? Whatever? And then you start playing the game, You're like, you know what, I belong. So I think that it helps, at least with me, keep me grounded. You know, I don't really ever feel like I'd go in overconfident or cocky, you know, like you see that sometimes you go in they're like, I'm just going to wreck these people whatever. Like obviously I want to wreck people, and I want to do very well, you know, but you also, you know, you could you could up till before it's even possible, and you can be way over confident, and I think that can be a detriment to you. So yeah, so yeah, I mean, I don't know what's going to happen. I have no idea who the other eight players are going to be at my table tomorrow. It could be nine plays. I hope to dear God it's not nine players, but I'm guessing it's not going to be because I think you'll be safe. What is there anything else going on tomorrow? Na? Yeah, So, I mean they haven't yet extended into Paris for the main event correct that they've gotten basically the Horseshoe. What's us the event center that we're in. Then the ballroom has been about half full quarter to a half. We haven't fully extended throughout the rest of Horseshoe and then also into Paris. So I think we're safe for the ten handed stuff. So I think that that's fine. Maybe maybe one day, Yeah, I think one. He certainly has a shot. It's really gonna matter. It's more going to be dealer availability more than table availability. Yeah, yeah, no, for sure, for sure. So I mean we'll see how things go. Um. I mean I'm excited to play, of course, you know, grateful for the opportunity. Got some investors, which I'm thankful for. I got to got plenty of swaps in line. One of them already busted today, believable. Whatever doesn't matter. I'm gonna I'm gonna get him his money back. I'm already told him that good. I got this. So so yeah, I'm ready for a ready for a deep run. We're gonna recall it after you bag chips tomorrow, helly, I mean yeah, of course. I mean that's the plan. If you bust, I mean, if I bust, that's right back to work. I mean, what do you want me to do? I mean, it's a different tournament. Is a normal tourna we boust to get back to work. You know, I understand Rabbits and havans. I busted last year and I went right back to work. I mean, that's how it is. Did you. I'm pretty sure kind of I busted on day two. I busted right there, I remember, yeah, yeah, A seven verse eight seven. All we don't want to, we don't need I just want to, you know, honestly, I just want to run hot, just fucking hit me in the face of the deck, and I don't want to think about things. I mean, that would just be great, right yeah, Just put like three K in the bag. It's a lot, and then show up on day four blind out for a couple of days. I'm kidding, and I'm kidding, but um no, but it's gonna be fun. I'm excited to see who's at my table tomorrow. I know a lot of people that are playing, um, you know, hopefully. Who do you not want to see your table? Who would I not want to see at my table? Like it doesn't have to be for an obvious reason, like like I wouldn't want to see like anyone that I'm like friends with, just because I just don't want to have to battle with your friends on day one. Not that I wouldn't battle with them, because all I'll battle with them. I battle with friends before. I mean, that's just how it is, you know. Then the tag team event. We had Ronnie Barda and his team at our table, and I'm really good friends with Ronnie Barters, so like do I want to be at Ronnie Barter's table? No, But like if it comes down to it, yeah, you gotta play poker end of the day, like that's just the rules, you know. But if you can avoid it now and then you know, you get on their table like day six, okay, fine, who cares at that point, right? Yeah? Yeah, so but just day one, it'd be like you would avoid its um trying to think, like you know, if you sitting with the worst, so you have to stream, that's fine. I play played on stream with the Granny before. Yeah, I'm just wondering like some people. With WPT World Championship on the bubble, it was like the ultimate like hello, welcome to the stream, Donnie, Like like it's me Dan and Legran, you, Dan Smith, Janni Ukaman and Nick Unis on the bubble. Yeah of a ten k yeah, like uh second ten guy, I've ever played the technically the largest buying tournament I ever played, because that one was ten four hundred instead of the flat ten k sou so yeah, so that was fun and interesting, but you know, I know all those guys, so I'm fine with it. I don't think Daniel would be the worst person to play. The worst people to play against are ones that are aggressive and active. Okay, Michael MSSROCKI would be a pain in the ass. He plays every hand. You know, you kind of never know what the hell he has. Like, the people that you don't know what they have and are super active are very hard to play against. So that's frustrating, you know, like the people that are more kind of your standard like tight, aggressive player, more selective whatever, like, yeah, they might be very good, of course, but you know, people that are constantly playing hands. I mean that's why, like Michael MSSROCKI can he can have the chip lead on in level two and have five hundred K or he could be out, yeah, Like I mean that's just how his style. So somebody like that is just frustrating to play against. You know a lot of good players have already played on we saw on day one A. You know, a lot of good players have you know, we're in the field on Day one B. Just a little bit more sparse in that regard, but um, I mean there's a lot of good players out there. But I've also like I feel like playing with a lot of the players kind of around town and some some bigger stuff that goes on over over the year, like you know, a lot of stuff at the win you know, some one K, some three K stuff like that. Like it's given me experience playing you know, played the two k here, went pretty deep, played the three k like you know. I mean, obviously it's heightened of course, being the w s B main event and all, but yeah, I feel all right overall. So I'll just take it hand by hand and let's go, let's get it done. Let's just you know, put chips in the bag and go from there exactly. That's the plan. So yeah. The livestream tomorrow on Poker Grow and the Poker YouTube channel starting at one pm with the final table and then seven pm. This is both Vegas time. Seven pm is the day one C of the main event coverage. We got a coffee bet, Tim and I do I have the under thirty two hundred the first two time I've taken the under so far in the wager. But again I will happily lose it and that's gonna do it for us. Hopefully we don't have to like record the pod early or anything like that because I'm out. Hopefully it's way at the end. Hopefully the interview with the person at the end of the day is with me. That's not happening. That's the plan. I don't care if your chip later. I'm not even No, we'll go interview me on this podcast. That's what I'm saying. I don't let you to the goal. You're gonna do a solid pot I will do so. I'm gonna tell every hand you've played. Nope, don't need to do that. I don't need to do that. All right, that's gonna do it for us. My name is Donny Peters. His name is Tim Duckworth. We'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Bas
