1 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,679 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go 2 00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:20,719 Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His name is Tim Duckworth, and 3 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:27,320 we have a new record in the World Series of Poker Main Event. I 4 00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:32,759 feel like it came out of nowhere in a lot of ways. One talking 5 00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:36,200 to a lot of people, I'm not sure many people expected the record to 6 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,719 be broken again. Most people that I talked to were coming in around ninety 7 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:44,439 five hundred, ninety six hundred, stuff like that. You know, a 8 00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:47,399 little bit of a downturn, not that much, still a very good number, 9 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:50,560 but a little bit of a downturn. But it beat last year's record, 10 00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:54,600 smashed him. Tim would say that it smashed it, Okay, I 11 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,799 wouldn't say that it smashed it. So we're going to get into that on 12 00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,880 this episode. We got the because we have the final entry number, we 13 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,879 now have the prize pool. We're gonna hit on that big talking point there. 14 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,480 I'm sure Tim and I will have a few different opinions to share on 15 00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:11,760 the prize pool, first place prize, all of that sort of stuff. 16 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,560 We do have some interviews on this episode. You spoke with defending champion Daniel 17 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,359 Wineman aka Daniel win Maine. We're also gonna play the interview with Barry Hutter 18 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,239 that Jeff Platt did while out in the field because he played a pretty wild 19 00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:34,879 hand that aired on the live stream in the later portion of Day two d's 20 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,439 coverage on Poker Go. And then I caught up with our colleague Brent Hanks, 21 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,760 who is still in bagging for Day three. And also a person I 22 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:46,760 haven't seen in a while, but a person that I feel like I see 23 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:51,159 once a year and we always catch up. Jason Somerville. He's back, 24 00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:55,799 he's here, he's playing, and I know the fans love Jason Somerville, 25 00:01:55,879 --> 00:02:00,719 so we got an interview with him as well as always, please like and 26 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,879 subscribe to the Poker Girl podcast wherever you can do all of that sort of 27 00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:07,519 stuff, leave a review.

I'll get that cut out to 94 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,199 everybody tomorrow. Sweet. All right, let's get into this world series of 95 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,439 poker. Main me because it is a new record. I said it off 96 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:26,399 the top. It kind of came out of nowhere. I mean, I 97 00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:30,240 don't think many people were expecting it, at least that's the vibe that I 98 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,879 got anecdotally. I mean, just I know that in the last week, 99 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,920 and I think I said this on the podcast a few episodes ago, but 100 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,399 you know, talking to some of the tournament staff, the new projection that 101 00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:46,439 they had was ten thy two hundred, which the final number ten and twelve 102 00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:51,360 is pretty close to that that projection, right, so they seem to be 103 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:56,160 on the ball with it. I saw a pretty good tweet from our I 104 00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:00,079 believe it was our colleague. Who's our colleague? Remco what do you say? 105 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,680 He said something that is like, I think this is is truthful? 106 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Is ten thousand the new floor for the WSP main event? Well, it 107 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,240 can't be truthful. It's a question, no, I think, Okay, 108 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,480 I think the statement has relevance then, but last statement, it's a question. 109 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:18,600 No. If there's more to the tweet, I'm not reading the rest. 110 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,240 It's all a question. I read it. I also responded to it, 111 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:26,279 Oh you did, what do you have a question? I think I 112 00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:28,519 think ten thousand. I don't know if I would call it the new floor. 113 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:31,279 I think I might have wrote in the response new floor, but it's 114 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:36,120 the new benchmark. Yeah, I mean, like that's the that's the goal, 115 00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:40,319 you know, like that's the goal every single year. And listen, 116 00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:45,040 let's again we've said this before. If it comes in at nine and thirty 117 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:47,360 four next year, I mean, that's good. That's that that's still an 118 00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:51,399 extremely good number. Just the fact that we have now the poker industry, 119 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,040 the World Series of Poker, the main event, has has achieved ten thousand 120 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,399 in back to back years, blew the old out of the water. Right 121 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:03,600 now, this is this is the new norm, right, this is the 122 00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:07,720 new norm. And when I said earlier that I think it was surprising that 123 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,920 we hit it. It's just that I don't know, I didn't get the 124 00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:18,319 sense that the WSOP itself was like really hyping it up last year. There 125 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:22,720 was an obvious push to break the record. Now did they think that they 126 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,439 were going to get over ten thousand, I don't know, you know, 127 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,920 I can't you know, read their minds and all that sort of stuff. 128 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,759 I think they felt pretty confident that the record was beaten. I mean, 129 00:08:31,799 --> 00:08:35,519 they came out at the beginning of the summer when they had that press conference 130 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,679 saying like basically guaranteeing that the record would be broken, and they crushed it. 131 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,840 So this year, you know, it was like, okay, it 132 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,080 was it because there was that big push, there was added satellites everything. 133 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,279 Not that they didn't do a ton of satellites. There were an absolute ton 134 00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:52,960 of satellites this year, and I think they might have even been even more 135 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,240 than last year. But I just felt like last year it was more in 136 00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:03,600 my face everything that they were doing towards the main event. So maybe that's 137 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,080 just a good thing for them that they don't have to do that much marketing 138 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,279 and now the new normal is just ten k I mean, that's pretty incredible 139 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:15,639 if you don't have to do that much marketing for that much of a push. 140 00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,840 Yeah, and you just go out there and boom, ten thousand people 141 00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:24,759 have ten thousand dollars you mister financing. Oh oh okay, where the hell 142 00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:26,919 are all these people getting all this money? What is happening? Let's have 143 00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:31,600 a look at the Daily spych is that what's happening. People are just blasting 144 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,240 off their investments. I mean, yeah, sbys I have twenty dollars over 145 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,120 the last month. That's pretty good six month return. We're looking at eighty 146 00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:46,240 dollars. Look, who knows crypto stock market maybe They're just like, I'm 147 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:52,120 just playing this this tournament. I don't know entry variance, I don't know. 148 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,120 There's no like clear sign, there's no huge spiking online traffic. There's 149 00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:01,679 no you know, massive massive massive like bitcoin starge or anything. So it's 150 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,279 hard to tell. I just think that things are just slowly coming together. 151 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,720 We got club gg, you know, WSP dot com. We got just 152 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,159 some more money in the industry in general, and people are just firing. 153 00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:15,039 Yeah, I mean it is It is a clear kind of answer, is 154 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,159 what kind of there isn't there isn't for sure? You know. I mean 155 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,240 also kind of the state of the US at least that you know, the 156 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,679 US doesn't make up the biggest portion of the field and of the WSP entries 157 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,159 in general from a you know, per country basis. Yeah, I mean 158 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,679 people are out there like inflations through the roof. We don't have as much 159 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,120 money as we once had, and you know, all that sort of stuff 160 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:43,519 is happening yet somehow and twelve people have ten thousand dollars to blast off in 161 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,240 this thing. It is wild. One thing to consider is, you know, 162 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:50,600 we're not the most educated people in the world here, you know me, 163 00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:54,759 but we we don't know what else is going on a lot out in 164 00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:58,240 the world, as in outside of America. You raise no world outside of 165 00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:03,759 America. Okay, mister America. But for us Australians, we've talked about 166 00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,000 the Kangaroo Crew. Why do you start? Did you move here? Yeah? 167 00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:11,480 Because America is the best. Why they're all the Kangaroo Crew here? 168 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,960 Because America is the best? Was that where you go? What happened in 169 00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:18,679 Australia recently? Those assholes took poker away from you guys. That's what I'm 170 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,799 saying. America is the best. Has that poker? It's not that much 171 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,919 better? Huh, it's not that much better here? What are you talking 172 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,919 about? There's ten thousand people in the middle. What are you talking about? 173 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,000 It's not that much better. Look, you guys don't even have the 174 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,279 Ozzie millions anymore. It's coming back and there's ten and twelve people in the 175 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,799 main thanks to us. Three thousand of them are from the Kangaroo Crew. 176 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,279 Stop stops. But that's the thing. Why have we seen a surgeon in 177 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,080 Australians. Maybe there's also a surgeon, Brazilians a surgeon, Chinese players a 178 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,159 surgeon than a lot of Brazilian, so we don't know like what led to 179 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:54,639 that. Maybe maybe the actual American unique numbers have gone down for this main 180 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,480 event. We have to wait. It would be cool to see that breakdown, 181 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,559 which don't we usually get that. I think we can get could possibly 182 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,200 get it from that, that would and then compare it to years past. 183 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:07,159 Yeah, you know, see if there's an uptick in in other countries versus 184 00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:11,960 the US, or see if the US is up. I mean I listen, 185 00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:15,360 I don't I'm not going up to every table and like listening to how 186 00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:18,399 people speak or you know, talking to every player. But I feel like 187 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,600 there's a lot of Americans. These people, these people look American. Yeah. 188 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:26,639 If you look at the spy from year to year, last year now 189 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:31,600 today, it's as top one hundred bucks. Yeah, of course, which 190 00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:35,240 is nothing to like, you know, put that in percentage terms, seventeen 191 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,480 point four percent today. There you go. You should know the direct process 192 00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:43,519 why this every day should be looking. I invest and I don't ever look 193 00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:46,519 like I don't see how much on one. I don't care. I think 194 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,000 that's actually cool when like my friends are like, oh my gosh, bitcoin 195 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,279 is this or this is that or whatever. I kind of get annoyed because 196 00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:58,120 I don't want to ever look. I just want to invest, and I 197 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,480 don't look at crypto at all. I probably look one a month, to 198 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,720 be honest, I didn't even do that much. I do look at my 199 00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:05,399 stock portfolio quite a lot. But that's you know, you know, seventeen 200 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,120 percent year on your growth. That's pretty big, especially for that generation of 201 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,559 you know, kind of like our parents, that kind of aging anywhere from 202 00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,120 like say forty to seventy you know. You know, maybe, Okay, 203 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,559 I'm gonna realize some of my games. I'm gonna jump in play some play 204 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,200 some poker tournaments and stuff. So that could be definitely one of the many 205 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,159 variables as to why back to back years we've hit ten thousand plays. I 206 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,799 mean, you got to give a lot of props to the WSP for hitting 207 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:35,279 the number once again. I hope that this is the new normal, you 208 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,360 know. I hope ten k is is the floor going forward, you know, 209 00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:43,600 and I hope it continues, even if it just continues a small upward 210 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,679 trend like we saw in ten thousand and forty three last year ten thousand, 211 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,279 one hundred and twelve, you know, it didn't. It didn't go ten 212 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,320 thousand and forty three to eleven thousand, you know, but just like a 213 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,440 nice little graduate like next year ten thousand, two hundred, the year after 214 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,080 that, maybe ten thousand, three hundred, just like slowly, slowly, 215 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,120 slowly, just trend none up. That would just be absolutely tremendous, I 216 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:07,000 mean going back. So they also unveiled the bracelet today, Yes, right, 217 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,120 founding father of the w SP, Jack Pinion, did the honor. 218 00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:16,120 But before he did, Jack E. Fel from the World Series of Poker. 219 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:22,320 He was giving an introduction to Jack and he also mentioned about the numbers 220 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,720 and how today with the final number would come in and then we'd all debate, 221 00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:31,120 like the health of poker, because the World Series of Poker is just 222 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,320 such a good example of the general health of all of poker, right, 223 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,440 I mean we can look at all different events all around the world, and 224 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,120 I would say that generally, over the past year, you and I have 225 00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:48,000 probably felt like poker's just generally hot. Plos for sure, hot that shits 226 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,879 high. Yeah, No, that game needs to be burned down. That's 227 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,799 the only that's the only heat that needs to be applied to Studdehilo but you 228 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,200 know, Nolan would hold him. Feel are pretty booming everywhere. We obviously 229 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,360 saw what happened at the World Poker Tour Series at the wind Now listen, 230 00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:11,879 I know they missed the guarantee, but it was a lofty guarantee, and 231 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,960 if I'm being honest, felt a bit crazy that they went as high as 232 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,120 they did. But hey, swing for the fences. But still, you 233 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,919 know, there was a ton of entries there and they got more than ten 234 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,919 thousand in their WPT Prime event, and you know, all those fields were 235 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,440 extremely big, and there was a lot of other stuff that was going on 236 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,080 around the poker industry that was all very very very good. So maybe maybe 237 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:37,559 all of that over the past year, maybe we should have just seen the 238 00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:41,080 signs coming, seeing this giant ass freight train coming down the tracks and been 239 00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:45,440 like, you know what, we're going to get the biggest wsp man of 240 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,279 it ever. Why would we not? Yeah, why wouldn't we? I 241 00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:52,399 mean, why wouldn't we? So there was probably some I think there were 242 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,879 some people last year who didn't come play that were probably like, hey, 243 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,159 I mean I gotta come. Yeah, you know, I agree, We're 244 00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,399 going to get that this year. Ve next year. Yeah, people like 245 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,679 me and people like you. That's right, baby. Already made a bet 246 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:07,480 with just for those out there, and I put it on record on the 247 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,840 podcast. You guys can hold me to it. I saw you guys shake 248 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,840 hands. Me and Jeff made a bet if I play the main event next 249 00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:15,919 year, he has to pay me one hundred dollars. If I went out 250 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,600 and be a little chicken and Dot put out my ten K, I gotta 251 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,279 pay him one hundred dollars. So they put that more money one hundred. 252 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,080 He's enough. Okay, No, you should have bet one k. Should 253 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:34,960 have bet ten thousand. So every buy in is ten thousand dollars. Of 254 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,159 course, of the of that ten thousand dollars, ninety three hundred dollars goes 255 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,159 into the priz school. Seven hundred dollars goes to like the tournament fee and 256 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,519 the staff fee and whatever. So ninety three hundred dollars into the prize school. 257 00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:52,399 So ninety three hundred times ten thy, one hundred and twelve gives us 258 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:59,360 the prize School of ninety four million, forty one thousand, six hundred dollars. 259 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:06,720 Let me say that once again, ninety four million dollars unreal out of 260 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:14,240 money onreal. So if you guys remember last year, Daniel Wineman aka Daniel 261 00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:19,960 win Maine won the event for twelve million, one hundred thousand dollars. They 262 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,359 did the twelve point one because they felt or you know that, because they 263 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,240 set the record, because they smashed it by so much that they had to 264 00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:34,200 also have the largest first place prize in WSP Manium in history. So they 265 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,319 topped the twelve million that Jamie Gold won back in two thousand and six, 266 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,559 and they had that year's prize last year twelve point one million. Okay, 267 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,400 so they did that. Now there was a whole bunch of to do on 268 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,880 social media, you know if you talk to people, yes, but mostly 269 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,880 you see it on social media about the payoffs and how they were ridiculous, 270 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,079 how they were super super top heavy. The twelve point one to first was 271 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,319 just insane. They also had the fact that not everyone that makes the nine 272 00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:10,640 handed final table, the official WSP million Event final table, got a million 273 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,720 dollars. The gap from second to first was outrageous. It was six point 274 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:21,000 five million for second, twelve point one million for first. So a lot 275 00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:26,279 of people were coming out the WSIP for the payouts last year. Okay, 276 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:33,039 the payouts this year are beautiful, a bit different. I also think that 277 00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:37,440 they're beautiful. I think that there was a one year mess up by them. 278 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,160 It was a bit silly. Last year. They got too into the 279 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,079 fact that, like, this is the record setting field, so we got 280 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:47,960 to have a record setting first place prize. They got they got sucked into 281 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,480 that. And the thing is is that last year, it's twenty twenty three. 282 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:56,559 It's not two thousand and six anymore. Like it's not that that's not 283 00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:00,160 like payouts across all of poker, and we talked about this, they changed 284 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,400 drastically, Right, first place prizes aren't, you know, as big of 285 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,160 a percentage of the total prize pool as they once were. Things are generally 286 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:12,160 much flatter overall. So like they didn't need to do what they did last 287 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,599 year. They did it, but whatever, it's fine, but a lot 288 00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:18,599 of people were like up in arms about it. They corrected it this year, 289 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,319 and I don't know, I still feel like it's kind of mixed feelings 290 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,319 from players. I did see some stuff on social media that players some players 291 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,799 were like, this is great, this is way better. I saw some 292 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,680 other stuff that like, this is another payout mess up. I mean, 293 00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:37,160 poker players are never going to be happy, and this is another example of 294 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,440 that. Because everyone freaked out last year with the payouts. Everyone got mad. 295 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,720 It seems like the device be heard that loud and clear and then adjusted 296 00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:52,599 things and now everyone is like or not everyone less people, but still there 297 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,759 is a group of people that seem still mad. So I don't really understand 298 00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:00,559 what we're trying to do here. So first place this year the twenty twenty 299 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:07,200 four WSP Main Event, first place is ten million dollars ten million even last 300 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,000 year, remember twelve point one million, this year ten million flat. It 301 00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:15,480 goes ten million, six million, four million, three million, two point 302 00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:19,319 five million, two million, one point five million, one point twenty five 303 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,559 million, and ninth place this year in the twenty twenty four World Series Boker 304 00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:30,319 Main Event gets one million dollars even. Okay, so let's just compare it. 305 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,039 I guess to last year first place twelve point one million last year, 306 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,799 ten million this year, so two point million difference. Two point million is 307 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:41,799 skimmed off the prize this year. Last year second place six point five million, 308 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,680 this year six million. So that's all. That's five hundred thousand taken 309 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,680 off of their Okay, so now you have two point six million that you 310 00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:55,799 can put elsewhere. Some of that went to ninth place, which I'll get 311 00:20:55,839 --> 00:21:00,480 to in a second. Last year, third place was four four million, 312 00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:04,319 Fourth place was three million. This year, same thing, four million, 313 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:10,799 three million now this year or sorry, last year two point four million for 314 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,119 fifth place. This year bumped up slightly to two point five million. Nice 315 00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:18,920 clean number. Two point five million. I like that. So of that 316 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,200 two point six million that they took off of first and second combined, one 317 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,000 hundre k is applied right there. Sixth place last year one million, eight 318 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:30,519 hundred and fifty thousand, sixth place this year two million, so one hundred 319 00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:33,799 and fifty thousand more. Seventh place last year one million, four hundred and 320 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:38,640 twenty five thousand, this year one point five million, so seventy five thousand 321 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,359 dollars more this year. Eighth place last year one million, one hundred and 322 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:47,519 twenty five thousand, this year one million, two hundred and fifty thousand, 323 00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:52,119 and then ninth place last year nine hundred k, this year one million. 324 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:55,960 There's also places like ten through eleventh Last year was seven hundred k. Ten 325 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,079 through eleventh this year is eight hundred k twelve through thirteenth last year, I 326 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,359 thirty five twelve through thirteenth this year, six hundred. So clearly they took 327 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,680 you know, two point one off the top, five hundred k off the 328 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,440 second, and then redistributed it elsewhere within the payouts. So I like it. 329 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:18,519 Fifteen hundred and seventeen players will make the money in the twenty twenty four 330 00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:23,599 World Series of Poker main event. All of the numbers are extremely clean from 331 00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:26,640 top to bottom. I mean, the only one that like kind of sticks 332 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,079 out to you, and it's not even that bad at all, is fourteenth 333 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,160 through seventeenth. This four hundred and fifty four hundred dollars. That's the only 334 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,039 one. Everything else is either zero, zero, zero or five hundred, 335 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,880 right, So very very very clean overall. I mean, what, what's 336 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,440 what's your thought on the payouts? I got lots of thoughts, So like, 337 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:49,599 okay, let me see, No, I'm gonna ask you a question. 338 00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:52,920 I'm gonna ask you a question. You said you have lots of thoughts. 339 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,519 I'm gonna try and get one thought at a time. Okay. That's 340 00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:00,079 what I'm trying to get out of you, is that you're here. You 341 00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,720 hear them announce the entries and then they say ten million for first what's your 342 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,880 What's your thought? Right there? When the idiot thought was that's lame. 343 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,720 It was a letdown, and I was like, no, why are we 344 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:15,519 let me finish? Why are we going down? But when I look deeper 345 00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:21,319 in the picture and I see what they've done, I now like the payouts. 346 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,880 Just the first thing. The first thought was like, it's not twelve 347 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,200 million, it's not twelve point two or twelve point five. I'm disappointed. 348 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,119 But then I see what they've done and I'm I'm all for it. The 349 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,279 expectation was that it's probably going to be twelve million for first, just because 350 00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:37,559 the expectation was set last year. So I think for those people that were 351 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:41,440 in the room and you really didn't hear, at least I didn't hear when 352 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,720 they announced it like a round of applause, any sort of chairs, and 353 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:48,519 it was kind of just like there was no announcement. It was just like, 354 00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:51,079 oh, here's a prize pool. There was no kind of an announcement. 355 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,519 Yeah, I mean, listen. I definitely thought that that was a 356 00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:57,359 miss. They should pair the prize pal announcement with the bracelet reveal like all 357 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,920 together, like could be start of day three, even doesn't need to be 358 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,640 day two d it could be started day three. I think announcing it is 359 00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:07,880 a good thing on like as soon as the registration closes, as quickly as 360 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,240 you can get it out there. I just think, you know, I 361 00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:15,759 know, the timing's not necessarily ideal in terms of like a press and communications 362 00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:22,240 and marketing aspect of things, because you know, it's Tuesday night or sorry, 363 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:26,559 Monday nights. If you wanted to reach news outlets or you wanted to 364 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:30,359 do whatever. I mean, places are not open, you know, or 365 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,240 like not functional, you know, whereas if you were to release it in 366 00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:38,279 the morning, Like I get it, But it's more about the players in 367 00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:41,000 that regard, and like just getting it out there for the players and the 368 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:45,720 fans and like, if you're a poker fan, I mean, you're probably 369 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,960 sweating the action one way, shape or form. You know, you're following 370 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,799 the updates on Pokernews, WSP dot com, You're following things on social media, 371 00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:56,359 you're watching Poker Growl whatever it may be. So you're probably just like 372 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,400 ready for the payouts to draw. You're ready for the final number to get 373 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,160 there. So I think doing it at that time is correct. I just 374 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,519 think you could make a much bigger deal of it, like make a big 375 00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:10,400 deal out of the bracelet, yes, I mean, which they did, 376 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,839 but like you should also make a big deal out of the prize pool, 377 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,000 which I think is incredible because I don't really know what else is like it 378 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:21,200 in like competitions out there, you know, if you include sports and all 379 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,759 that sort of stuff. I mean, so I would kind of do it 380 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:26,759 all together, like you know, this is the these are the payouts, 381 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,640 this is the bracelet, like boom, like this is what you get, 382 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,440 Like let's go. They always put you know, and we obviously bring the 383 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,880 bracelet out, like they should bring the cash out for this thing, like 384 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,640 load up the cash on the table and like do a whole thing in that 385 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,599 on like tomorrow probably for us, No, yeah for us, But I'm 386 00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:48,200 saying, like, has a big seleuration and get some social video started. 387 00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:52,160 Day three is perfect because you can have the prep time. You can spend 388 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,319 an hour setting it up. People come in, you have the announcement ready 389 00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:57,319 to go, you have Jack beingia and present the bracelet and say fast prize 390 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,920 ten million, we're paying this many spots Jack does his speech, Jack jack 391 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,319 Off, I mean, I think that's the best way to kind of do 392 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,359 it. Now, Like, Okay, you're going to say, well, 393 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,480 we have to wait for people to you know, people have to wait overnight 394 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:12,319 to hear the prize. Well, who cares? You can time it well 395 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,400 enough, start a day three, get all the media there to film, 396 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,119 do what they need to do, and actually make it, like you said, 397 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,680 a bit of a commotion, a bit of a spect you know, 398 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,359 a spectacular reveal of both prize pull and bracelet. The one thing I want 399 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,039 to touch on. You know, a lot of people mentioned this year WSP 400 00:26:29,079 --> 00:26:33,240 are doing the two x min cash this year for the main event, fifteen 401 00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:36,000 k me in cash. Well, the two reasons the main event was never 402 00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:37,799 going to be changed. You already told me that, correct. Two reasons 403 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:42,519 why I love the fifteen k Number one, not tax on profit, because 404 00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:45,920 it's five fifteen thousand and one dollar. You'd be taxed on that profit. 405 00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:49,400 But two, I think you we've discussed this before. We've discussed this in 406 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,559 group chats. I'm a big fan of paying more people in the main event. 407 00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:55,640 I think there's a lot of first timers year I think there's people that 408 00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:59,599 just want to say I've cashed the main event. You've said it yourself probably 409 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,920 three days ago. Catching the main event is an achievement that people like really 410 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,640 want as part of their poker experience, whether a wreck like us, whether 411 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,039 they're even a pro, it's it's still a cool start to have I catch 412 00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:15,480 the main event. So giving more people the opportunity to get your cash, 413 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,880 they're going to probably pocket that fifteen K. They'll probably spend five K on 414 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,279 whatever, and then here's my buying for next year. So I'm kind of 415 00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:26,759 a fan of everything across the world, but especially keeping that fifteen K, 416 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:33,519 paying those that full amount of spots that they've kind of discussed A plus from 417 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:37,680 me for WSP on these payoffs. So this year, if you make the 418 00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:44,759 final three tables. Last year, if you got twenty seventh through thirty fifth 419 00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:48,559 place, twenty seven would be the final three tables. Twenty eighth and thirty 420 00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:52,039 five is obviously not the final three tables, but you would get twenty eighty 421 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,559 one hundred. This year that that pay section is three hundred thousand dollars, 422 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,039 right, so a little bit more money than last year. You hit six 423 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,799 figure payout territory when you got to eightieth place. Eightieth place was one oh 424 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:14,039 nine four hundred. Okay, this year you get a six figure payout when 425 00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:17,880 you get to one hundred and twenty fifth place, So that next little tier 426 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,559 there, or you know, sorry, an earlier tier, you get one 427 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,839 hundred k. So again taking you know, that two point six million that 428 00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:29,079 they took off first and second combined and then applying it elsewhere. So I 429 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,160 think that that's pretty cool. I've always kind of, like, weirdly felt 430 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,400 if you get top one hundred in the main, it would be cool to 431 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,200 get one hundred thousand dollars at least. It just feels like a really crazy 432 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,440 achievement to go that deep and then rewarding it with you know, ten times 433 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,440 you're buying six figure payday all that sort of stuff, and that's what they're 434 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,960 ultimately gonna achieve here. It's even gonna go a little bit deeper because one 435 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,279 hundred and twenty fifth place is one hundred K. So I like that, 436 00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:56,039 you know, overall, I think I think the payouts are pretty great. 437 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,680 Like I don't. I don't really understand why anyone would have any ripes with 438 00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:04,279 this, because people like to grap about things kind of. I mean I 439 00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:07,480 thought I felt like last year that you know, first place should have been 440 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,880 ten million, and then you just go from there and I don't I don't 441 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,200 care about having to have a bigger first place pase prize excuse me, than 442 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,279 you had in two thousand and six, because it's just a wildly different industry 443 00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:23,599 than it once was. So I'm a big fan of what they did with 444 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,400 the payouts, you know, I think it's really good. I mean, 445 00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:33,839 listen, Daniel Weinman, God bless his soul. Luck bucks, I mean, 446 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:37,240 how lucky is he. He's probably has one of the biggest first place 447 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:41,200 prize ever. I mean he pocketed two point one extra million dollars. Yeah, 448 00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:42,480 just for the fact that he won it last year and didn't win it 449 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,400 this year, you know, I mean that's pretty wild. But yeah, 450 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:51,079 overall great. I love that the final nine players are getting a million. 451 00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:55,720 I mean that's awesome. This year you get to fifty k, so five 452 00:29:55,799 --> 00:30:00,000 times you're buying two hundred and eighty seventh place. Last year was the same. 453 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,400 Actually, two hundred and eighty seventh was fifty thousand and nine hundred, 454 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:08,559 so that's pretty similar. Overall, and then the bottom part is also pretty 455 00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:11,559 similar. Last year was a fifteen k min cast, just like it is 456 00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:15,519 this year. You had about two hundred and fifty spots before you bumped up 457 00:30:15,559 --> 00:30:19,119 twenty five hundred dollars to seventeen point five, and then you know, another 458 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,359 two hundred and fifty spots or so until you got up to twenty thousand. 459 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,000 So kind of kind of similar in that regard, you know, for sure. 460 00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:29,240 But overall, I'm a fan. I am a fan, so I 461 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,720 had two stats before we move on to the next UPIC. It took thirty 462 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:37,960 five years for the main event to hit ninety one million dollars in total prize 463 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,759 pools. Obviously today we had ninety four million. So yeah, that's kind 464 00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:44,359 of pretty crazy. When they're going to break a hundred, When do you 465 00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:45,880 think they're going to break a hundred? I would bet next ya, but 466 00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:51,519 really maybe going to climb that high maybe twenty twenty six. It's coming next 467 00:30:51,519 --> 00:30:56,200 to us. Damn. What was the number you gave that was wasn't like 468 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:02,160 eleven thousand? That would be a seven three ten thousand seven? Did? 469 00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:04,599 Yeah, so that would be a considerable jump from ten thy one and twelve 470 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,880 to go to ten thousand. I think that's what they'll make a run at 471 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,359 that. I think that would be like if they target something that would be 472 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,480 a other impressive start. Ten million dollars first prize we have now, well, 473 00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:18,440 the winner of this will have won the two hundred and fourth million dollars 474 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:30,039 in first prize main event history. I've got some end day ship counts unofficial, 475 00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:33,720 but let's do that, and we'll also hit on these interviews. So 476 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,000 why don't you start with with who we got, who's cooking, who's not? 477 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:40,920 Who's cooking? Donovan Dean six hundred and thirty nine thousand, five hundred. 478 00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:44,680 He is the current chip leader. Obviously we're still winning for some official 479 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,079 counts. Schue Young Harden six or four, Emily and Petavi five eighty nine, 480 00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:52,400 Adam Friedman five hundred and eighty one thousand, and you're gonna love the 481 00:31:52,440 --> 00:32:00,319 fifth overall, I'm not surprised at all, mister Steve even e FN's song 482 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,400 five hundred and seventy seven thousand chips. I mean, was there ever a 483 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,640 doubt, no doubt, no doubt Steven song. Let's go a couple of 484 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,440 others with some decent stacks around Zobi and one of the day one d chip 485 00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:21,160 leaders doing pretty well. Ren Lynn looks like three seventy two, ODB Baker 486 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,599 three twenty nine, Cody Daniels so grinding away three hundred and ten k, 487 00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:30,559 the Great phil Ivy two eighty three, the not so Great Landon Tice two 488 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:37,119 ninety two. Why not whatever, he's losing the bed to German background. 489 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,160 Yeah, but he fucking Eric was right, Brian rassn nod medic. Oh 490 00:32:42,279 --> 00:32:45,680 baby out there. He was actually, you know what now that I think 491 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,359 about it, he was like a table or too old Rhythan phil Ivy, 492 00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:53,359 which is interesting. That's a very interesting Matthew Wantman. Lots of chip counts 493 00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:59,240 coming. One chip count right here. Let I see Daniel Wyman two hundred 494 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,880 and twenty nine thousand five good. He sawed the day with about fifty five 495 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:06,480 K. He did shower an interview from Jeff, and then Jeff had something 496 00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:07,839 any sleep. I don't know if you got to watch that interview listening a 497 00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:13,559 little trick in his pocket. Do you hear about this? He bought a 498 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:20,720 gift of Dan and Sarah's wedding registry and told him, and then Dan was 499 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,680 like, I'll give you a couple of minutes, and I did ask him 500 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,599 about that, but yeah, we have a Dan Wyman interview right now. 501 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,880 Might as well plind now, Yeah, let's go here with Dan Wyman defending 502 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,640 champion. Looks like you've kind of four x your starting stack from today. 503 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,319 Tell us about you know how today went for you? Really smooth day, 504 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,000 kind of dream day in the main event. Didn't really play any big pots, 505 00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:45,640 never at risk. I still don't think I've bluffed the river in two 506 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,039 years in this tournament now and probably not going to change. Won a small 507 00:33:50,039 --> 00:33:52,440 flip at the feature table and then just made a few hints and you know, 508 00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:54,960 one a few small pots. I want to talk a little bit about 509 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,920 Jeff Patt. You showered him last year, then this year he came up 510 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,440 to you. You didn't want to give him, I think, and he 511 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,000 said to you, you know, I looked at the receipt. He didn't 512 00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:05,319 buy you a pizza pan. What did did you have to check that? 513 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,039 Did you believe him? I believe him. I think Jeff's an honest guy. 514 00:34:07,159 --> 00:34:09,280 So if he's going to spend the fifty bucks, then I can, 515 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,840 you know, give up the ten million dollars for first place to give me 516 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:15,320 a minute of my time. It's the curse of Jeff plat Reel. Yes, 517 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,519 I'm not. We'll see. We'll see in seven days. If I 518 00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:22,360 don't win, it's got to be real. Are we going to see another? 519 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,599 Yes, he's cash. No, I mean like, I mean like 520 00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:29,880 Greg Raymer asked, like you know, like first and like whatever. He's 521 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,119 so relaxed. He's too chilled. He's just like, ah, whatever, 522 00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:36,239 I know. That's that when you just isn't that when you do it's when 523 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,239 he just called he calls it off with the ice jack offsuit against you know, 524 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:44,400 the winning He's just he's just relaxed. The weather is beautiful outside. 525 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,320 It's one hundred and forty eight degrees. He just wants to play some golf. 526 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,840 I want him to make Day seven. I always want the champ. 527 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,000 I always want the champ defending champ to make to make a seven, because 528 00:34:54,119 --> 00:34:59,239 that's just like Day seven's when it gets like real real, like that's the 529 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,760 real real. He left. Yeah, Like that's right. We can talk 530 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,920 about Brent Hanks, sure, our friend, Brent Hanks, our colleague. 531 00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:08,519 He came into the to the day with about one hundred and twenty thousand or 532 00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:12,400 so, I think ran it up to I think he had a little bit 533 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,639 over two hundred, but then lost the pot towards the end of the night, 534 00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:17,960 so I think he bagged right around one eighty or so. But afterwards 535 00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:22,480 I caught up with Brent Hanks. I probably there might be a good amount 536 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:29,639 of our listeners who know Brent. Obviously one of the brains behind No Gamble 537 00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,880 in the Future, formerly a podcast then turned into a show on Poker Grow. 538 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,719 He does a lot of commentary alongside Jeff Platt. But you know, 539 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,199 maybe some of our listeners don't exactly know about Brent Hanks. So I tried 540 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,599 to, you know, ask some questions to give a little bit more about 541 00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:47,280 himself. I feel like on the commentary he kind of plays like the funny 542 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,239 guy, but also the analyst, kind of the funny analyst in a way. 543 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,440 He's kind of like Bill Walt to me, and I kind of get 544 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,840 that vibe from mister Hanks. But anyway, here's Brent. Now, after 545 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,440 the end of the day. All right, Brent Hanks, you just told 546 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,159 me you had it up to two twenty. Yeah, what happened? Man? 547 00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:07,239 Well, I had a top set towards the end of the night versus 548 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:13,480 this man's or this Southern man's second nut flush who just called me on the 549 00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:15,719 river. So it could have been worse. I was dancing thinking, oh, 550 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,519 maybe we're gonna be near three hundred. But yeah, you know, 551 00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:24,960 it happens. The peaks and valleys during the main event are real. It's 552 00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:29,880 never smooth, never easy, but we're alive and we're cooking with a one 553 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,639 hundred and eighty two thousand. Yeah, I mean, you're up from where 554 00:36:31,679 --> 00:36:36,679 you started the day. You're on to day three, Like what's going through 555 00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:37,960 your mind? Like you're feeling good? Are you ready? You ready to 556 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,360 make a run? Yeah, I'm just born. You're the only poker go 557 00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:44,679 person left, so you better make a run. Wait a minute, you're 558 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,599 out. I'm out. What the hell happened? I don't want to talk 559 00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:51,039 about it. Oh no, I'm out. Jeff's out. I mean I 560 00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:54,239 knew Jeff was out. He had a series of very unfortunate events. And 561 00:36:54,599 --> 00:37:00,960 yeah, it's just this thing is such a such an insane tournament. You 562 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:07,119 see the most ridiculous hands beats over and over again. It's very lucky to 563 00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:10,079 be here, and we'll see what happens the rest of the way. Do 564 00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:15,679 people recognize you at the table? I tell myself they don't, But then 565 00:37:15,559 --> 00:37:19,440 oftentimes when we go to break, they're like, oh, I love everything, 566 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,639 you know, I love the commentary, and you have to adjust then 567 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,760 sort of, you know, but I get away with the whole. I'm 568 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,760 just a commentator role, you know, like I can kind of play that 569 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,559 card. But then if someone knows me, knows me, Like, you 570 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,280 idiot, you've been playing poker for you know, twenty years, You're not 571 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,760 a commentator, you know, Like, well, yeah, yeah, you 572 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,360 know so, but yeah, there's adjustments. But yeah, it's every table, 573 00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:45,159 every player. It's always an adjustment, every single step of the way. 574 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,039 Do you used to play a bit more poker than you play these days? 575 00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:52,880 So what like are you more of like a recreational now? How would 576 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,880 you describe yourself? Do you still keep up with the game, Like how 577 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,239 does it all kind of come together? I very much cheap up with the 578 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,239 game. I just don't play as often as I like. The summertime is 579 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,760 when I play the most. Not only am I playing a decent amount live, 580 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,119 but I'm also just pounding it online. I'm holmost going. When I'm 581 00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:12,920 home, I'm playing a lot. When I'm here, I'm playing live. 582 00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:16,280 So it's with my family situation, with the work situation, it's the only 583 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:22,239 opportunity that I have to play. Fortunately, my wife lets me, our 584 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,440 boss Morey lets me, so I just I play a lot and I try 585 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:30,760 and just try and get it done. I'm available for commentary because I guess 586 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,960 he's playing tomorrow, so if if I'm needed, you can put me in 587 00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:37,599 coach. Someone else that I saw while wandering the field kind of falls into 588 00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:40,440 the random player of the day. It's not top of my random player of 589 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,800 the day, no way. Well no, it's definitely not topping yours. 590 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,719 But I'm saying it kind of falls into it. Yeah, that definitely falls 591 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:52,159 into it. Days in Summerville. Yeah, who I honestly don't see that 592 00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:55,400 often anymore. You know. Obviously used to be a round poker pretty much 593 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,880 every day. Got out of the game and doesn't frequent it as much. 594 00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:04,559 But he will come out. He will play the w s AP main event. 595 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,159 He actually called himself in this interview that we're going to play that he's 596 00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:09,960 a main event player. Now he plays this main event and then he plays 597 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,880 the WPT main event at the win and that's it. That's his uh, 598 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,559 that's the extent of his poker every year. So it's always good to catch 599 00:39:16,639 --> 00:39:21,960 up with Jason Summerville. And here's that catch up between he and I right 600 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,480 now. All right, Jason Somerville, it's it's our annual check in. 601 00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:29,360 Don't get to see you much these days. How are you doing so as 602 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,480 a person, how are you doing? I'm doing great, you know now 603 00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:34,280 I listen to you, you know, I'm listening to the broadcast. You're 604 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,320 doing a great job with Ramco. You really carry the weight over there too, 605 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,920 so I think you're doing great job. Thank you very much. I'm 606 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,280 trying.

Give you sum Yeah you have, and 608 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,519 you've given me tips without actually giving me tips, just watching what you're doing, 609 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,199 being able to carry a one man show like you did for so long, 610 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,719 and that's a chore in a lot of ways, So you know, 611 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,920 thank you for for all that. Yeah. Well, the key, as 612 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,119 you're learning is to lean on on chat, you know, because then you're 613 00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:05,320 having a dynamic, especially because you're not on any delay. The chat so 614 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,320 that's where we have fun with it, and I think you guys have gotten 615 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,840 a lot better with that when you're not trying to give away a Poker Go 616 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,639 T shirt or something every five minutes. Well, thank you, thank you, 617 00:40:13,639 --> 00:40:15,440 you still got it. You know that, you know what you're doing. 618 00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:17,159 I mean, we had such a great table.

I honestly, it was two super nice tables today, 632 00:40:58,599 --> 00:41:01,760 Lots of fun people and it's good to be around poker once a year. 633 00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:06,360 What is it about the main Event especially? I mean, what makes 634 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,280 it so great? Such the best event in poker? It's literally just such 635 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:13,199 a diverse crowd. Like I met people today who I'm never going to see 636 00:41:13,199 --> 00:41:15,960 again, who are just like full of different stories, different places, coming 637 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,000 from all across the world. The main Event just brings people together in this 638 00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:24,760 cluster of beautiful gambling emotions and highs and lows. You know, the stories, 639 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,559 the many threads that weave together in the beautiful main event. It's so 640 00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:32,119 nice. I know you don't play as much as you once did. What's 641 00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:36,920 your relationship with poker these days? I'm a fan like I was a fan. 642 00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,679 I was a fan, I thought, you know, twenty years later, 643 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,559 I'm still a fan. I watch a ton of vloggers, I watch 644 00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:47,159 Poker Go. You know, I still worked with Harlan Poker Tour. This 645 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,559 year doesn't up with them. So yeah, I enjoy when I get a 646 00:41:51,639 --> 00:41:53,880 chance to play. I call myself a main event specialist. I play the 647 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,400 WBT ten K and the WSW ten K and yeah, I don't know, 648 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,760 I'm always at the periphery. Poker is always flirting with me, or maybe 649 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:07,000 it's the other way around. But yeah, good start, good start to 650 00:42:07,039 --> 00:42:09,599 the day. Obviously late reg so yeah, yeah, I mean one fifty. 651 00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:12,400 I feel happy. This is my peak. I never had more than 652 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,159 one fifty. So you know, some people get three hundred and make it 653 00:42:15,199 --> 00:42:17,000 one hundred fem and they're mad, but I'm happy at one fifteen. So 654 00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:20,559 yeah, I don't know. I got one hundred and thirty fith of last 655 00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:24,360 year or something, so I feel like I would love to have anything close 656 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,679 to that this year. All right, Well that's all I got for you. 657 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,039 I appreciate the ones that your check in. Yeah, you know, 658 00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:31,840 I walk around the field and I'm like, I got a fination at some 659 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,480 point. Yeah, I mean you're you're the one. Honestly, you're the 660 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,039 one I like, I hang on. You know, I don't give it 661 00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:39,480 away in these tournaments, so you have a chance. You know, Jeff 662 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,280 Black will find me eventually on day three, day four. I'll just hang 663 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,039 in there. So well, hopefully that's the case. Hopefully I get to 664 00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:47,320 do some commentary on you that would be like kind of the ultimate goal. 665 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,039 Yeah. Yeah. Last year I did it with Alex Fox and I said 666 00:42:51,039 --> 00:42:52,199 to him, I was like, don't make me carry this broadcast. They're 667 00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:55,199 not bringing you here for your conversation. Okay, So he did. He 668 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,280 was very a little big. I had to pull it out of it. 669 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,880 But yeah, I mean, honestly, it's much fun. Good to be 670 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,519 back and keep doing good things. You have blossomed yourself. Sir, We'll 671 00:43:04,559 --> 00:43:12,880 thank you. I appreciate it. I appreciate you. I mean, he 672 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,920 sounds like he had a freaking blast on the table, bagged up a decent 673 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,079 stack. I think you think he put right around one forty five fifty in 674 00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:23,239 the bag. He did come in late, pretty much a max late REDG 675 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,079 guy. You know, I don't think Jason's guy was going to just come 676 00:43:28,119 --> 00:43:30,719 hang around and play all that Day one nonsense and whatever. He's going to 677 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,000 come in with his fifty bigs later on and try and get the job done. 678 00:43:34,039 --> 00:43:36,719 So far, so good, you know, two and a half times 679 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:42,000 what he started with. So he's also moving on to day three alongside Brent 680 00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:45,079 Hanks and Daniel Winman and then listen, we also had to talk to or 681 00:43:45,199 --> 00:43:49,000 we didn't have to talk to, but Jeff Platt had to talk to Barry 682 00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:52,280 Hutt was gone and talk to him. But again Jeff stole the interview. 683 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,559 So well, okay, that could be my fault because there was a hand 684 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,320 on the live stream that happened, and I immediately went out to find Jeff. 685 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,559 I said, Jeff, you need to find Barry Hudder and ask him 686 00:44:01,559 --> 00:44:05,480 about this hand. And normally, you know, it's it's kind of whatever 687 00:44:05,559 --> 00:44:09,039 to ask people about hands, because you, I mean, it can just 688 00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:14,639 be too detailed. It gets just too bogged down. You also don't know 689 00:44:14,679 --> 00:44:17,719 how players are gonna like Retael hands. You know, you'd rather just kind 690 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,840 of bounce around, ask them how they're doing, to be very general about 691 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,760 things overall. But this hand was just a wild one that happened on the 692 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:31,400 feature table in the later part of the day on Poker Go. So what 693 00:44:31,559 --> 00:44:37,400 happened was, if I remember correctly, a gentleman I Kelly, I believe 694 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:42,639 his name was raised with two queens fan, a woman I don't have a 695 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,159 first name, but fan flatted aces, two red queen's raised, two black 696 00:44:47,199 --> 00:44:52,119 aces. Call action. Slides over to Barry Hudder on the button. He 697 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:59,519 finds a couple of kings. He puts in the three bets action action back 698 00:44:59,559 --> 00:45:04,039 over to Hi Kelly, and he opts to stick in a four bet. 699 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,800 Okay, not all in four bet. He had I think like eighty three 700 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,480 thousand to start the hand. I believe they were playing fifteen hundred big Blind. 701 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,880 So he four bets it. Then it's on Fan and she five bets 702 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,239 it, and now it's like, what the heck is going on? And 703 00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:29,400 Barry Hutter, much to his credits, Fan had like two hundred and sixty 704 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,800 k to start the hand again fifteen hundred big Blind. Barry Hutter had about 705 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:39,159 two hundred and twenty K. So Hutter thinks for not a ton of time, 706 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,159 maybe thirty seconds. I don't know, I'd have to time it out. 707 00:45:43,159 --> 00:45:45,639 But it wasn't like a super long tank folds the kings. I mean, 708 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:52,159 just incredible stuff. And then Hi Kelly, he thinks for a while, 709 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,719 you know, a little bit longer, he's a little bit shorter. 710 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,280 He put a lot of his stack in. He put basically like one fourth 711 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,239 of his stacking, and he ultimately as well. Then this was the last 712 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:06,840 hand before break. They ended up moving this table off of the feature table 713 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,239 and that's what went down. So fan gets deal, aces two of her 714 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,079 opponents, one gets kings, one gets queens, and they don't even go 715 00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:21,679 to a flaw. What's happening? Do you when you just told that hand, 716 00:46:21,679 --> 00:46:27,679 do you now want to rethink your king queen hand? I mean, 717 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,119 I want to rethink my king queen? And anyway, what are you talking 718 00:46:30,159 --> 00:46:31,880 about? Like? I don't wis simebody? These guys are voting kings, 719 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,559 they're foting queens. You're sitting there sticking in with the king Queen, not 720 00:46:36,639 --> 00:46:39,760 the kings, not the queens. The king Queen probably off suit. Yeah, 721 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,239 I had one of these. Isn't that better? I turned? I'm 722 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,480 not that well studied. No, I mean, listen, we're not going 723 00:46:46,519 --> 00:46:50,000 to revisit my hand anymore than we already have. I don't. It's one 724 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,840 thing I do want to revisit real quick. Just it's it's on topic. 725 00:46:52,320 --> 00:47:00,000 I want to read a tweet tweet I'm a WPT champion. Addressing addressing, 726 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:05,920 Can we get pads poker out of the birthplaces poker go and get Donnie Peters 727 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,639 back? Enough of educating the masses. The game's hot enough, No offense, 728 00:47:10,679 --> 00:47:16,559 Donnie. That was from Salty Mass sALS Matt calling you out, Well, 729 00:47:16,639 --> 00:47:22,639 maybe let's maybe saying Pads is too good, but I Pads is incredible. 730 00:47:23,159 --> 00:47:27,559 Was not that he's too good. He's absolutely incredible. I didn't get 731 00:47:27,599 --> 00:47:30,599 to watch a ton of the commentary because I'm obviously here doing work. We 732 00:47:30,639 --> 00:47:32,639 had to run out and get interviews or whatever. But I did tune in 733 00:47:32,679 --> 00:47:37,159 for twenty minutes, thirty minutes something like that. I absolutely cannot wait to 734 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:42,840 go back and watch it. Pads is somebody who I think is probably like 735 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:50,760 a top three poker mind in the game. Just like the combination of the 736 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,199 way he understands poker and how to think about it and how to play it 737 00:47:54,280 --> 00:48:01,239 and how to apply theory to the actual game while he's out there battling, 738 00:48:01,559 --> 00:48:05,719 and then also being able to talk about it in a way that you can 739 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:10,480 understand it and you can digest it while also remaining very high level. I 740 00:48:10,519 --> 00:48:19,239 think it's just almost the perfect recipe for everything. And I've mentioned this before 741 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,000 on this podcast, but his course Pads on Poker on Run at Once is 742 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,599 outrageously good. It's like, I think it's like two hundred and something videos, 743 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:34,000 but it's just so so so good, and he really has an incredible 744 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,760 skill of being able to take kind of very complicated topics and break them down 745 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:44,719 into digestible stuff for people that might not be as high level as someone like 746 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,639 he is. He puts a ton of work into his game and from I 747 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,440 don't know that Pads has ever done commentary, I don't think he's done. 748 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,679 If he has, he doesn't know a lot of it. He's like would 749 00:48:57,679 --> 00:48:59,880 be perfect at it. I mean, I think he even said at one 750 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:01,559 point on Twitter, I think I might have saw or saw somewhere where he 751 00:49:01,639 --> 00:49:04,679 was like, you know, I'm not trying to get like too high level 752 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,440 with stuff. But it also it was fun that a player at one of 753 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:15,159 the Future Tables to start Alex the Theologist pone Diddy on Poker Stars. I 754 00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:22,280 believe is an incredible mind and and Pads like is often battling with theologists in 755 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,239 a lot of the stuff that he plays online on gg poker on Poker Stars, 756 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:30,400 so him being able to commentate on Alex was also incredible. So like, 757 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,840 I was like totally the poker nerd to me was nerding out like a 758 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,079 bazillion times. It was. It was the best thing ever. So I 759 00:49:37,079 --> 00:49:40,000 can't wait to watch that, you know, watch it back and like really 760 00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:44,280 kind of like study it. So yeah, I mean that right there is 761 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,599 like pretty much worth a Poker Growth subscription. I mean, I'm being dead 762 00:49:47,639 --> 00:49:52,199 serious. I know what it costs to be to buy the run at once 763 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,880 pads course, and uh this, I think you can just get a lot 764 00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:00,960 of insight for pretty cheap on poker. So yeah, if he would be 765 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,800 open to it, I would love to be able to get him back in 766 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,719 the booth plenty. And yeah, if it's me and I need to keep 767 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,719 things very stupid, then yeah, I'm happy to do that too and serve 768 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,239 that part of things. Oh we gotta we well, we got to talk 769 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:17,800 to we got to play the Verry Hudder interview about this thing because because so 770 00:50:19,159 --> 00:50:21,239 Pads was on the call for this, by the way, so you guys 771 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,920 can check it out on Poker Go. But yeah, afterwards, you know, 772 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,519 I went up to Jeff and I said, hey, like, you 773 00:50:28,559 --> 00:50:32,880 gotta find Barry Hudder because he just folded kings to aces somebody else that actually 774 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,800 had queens as well and got away with it. But you know, pretty 775 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,800 crazy hand, so like some would say, godlike wow, Also one said, 776 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,480 I think on the book. Okay, I mean, listen, you 777 00:50:43,519 --> 00:50:45,760 folded king's pretty flop. I mean you're pretty much a god. Huh, 778 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,440 you've done that. I'm not I'm not, No, I don't find the 779 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,639 truth straight now, ras I made a forty five he shop three hundred and 780 00:50:55,639 --> 00:51:00,320 i'd like tank photo kings. Could you imagine I'm not talking to you, 781 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,639 Tim, I'm talking to all the people out there folding kings pre flopping, 782 00:51:02,679 --> 00:51:07,039 a two three Nolan hold them game and a fucking casino. He was eighteen 783 00:51:07,119 --> 00:51:10,000 years and you absolutely imagine that? Can you? Like? That's when you 784 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,239 should have quit poker back then then? But then we want to be friends? 785 00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:19,320 Good wow? That like, what are you doing? I mean, 786 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,519 what are you going to back off and go? Then?

All right, 789 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:37,039 here's here's here's Jeff Flatt talking to Barry Hudder. All right, social media 790 00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:38,159 is buzzy, and you got to give us at least a glimpse, at 791 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:43,280 least a glimpse into your your insight when you lay down those those two kings 792 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:47,000 there. Uh, I mean it was it was a crazy spot like she 793 00:51:47,159 --> 00:51:52,239 flats the open, I squeeze, uh get four best sheet back five bets? 794 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,440 Uh. I don't know. It's just a spot that you don't really 795 00:51:55,480 --> 00:52:00,079 see very often, and in any tournament this is just a swat where people 796 00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:06,679 don't really make big risks and spots like that. I don't know, it's 797 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,119 once I just put the hand together. I just kind of felt like it 798 00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:15,000 wasn't worth gambling, you know, wasn't It was stressful waiting to figure out 799 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,559 if it was a good fold or not. She said, I have to 800 00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:22,039 wait to see this stream. So that was a little brutal, but you 801 00:52:22,039 --> 00:52:27,760 know, pretty happy it was. Right when was that exact moment that you 802 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,320 found out? Like were you watching it? Trying to watch on stream? 803 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,320 Did a friend text you? What happened? I got I got a few 804 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:36,320 messages, and I had this stream on, but I was like in a 805 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,440 hand or something. But yeah, pretty much, right when it aired, 806 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:44,800 I figured it out and she's she told somebody at the table like a few 807 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,800 minutes before it aired that she had asis. So I was like a little 808 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:52,159 relieved, but you know, still I don't know, all right, what 809 00:52:52,199 --> 00:52:53,440 else we got? I don't touch on you know, put you so rich 810 00:52:53,519 --> 00:52:57,159 out at us for not leading with the main event last night. So it 811 00:52:57,199 --> 00:53:00,440 was saving the side. The other bracelet of it is talking about it. 812 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:01,639 Do we have more minimums? Now? That's it. You should get out 813 00:53:01,639 --> 00:53:05,679 of here. Let's go real quick. I'm going to make it real quick. 814 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,519 Fifteen games. Just down to seven players. They're playing in Province Utah 815 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:14,440 upstairs in the ballroom. Seven left, John raced a chip leader, followed 816 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,840 by Josh Arier, Max Coleman, Marco Johnson, and Miami John Snuda rounds 817 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,480 out the bottom of the chip counts. Uh. These seven players all guaranteed 818 00:53:22,519 --> 00:53:28,639 fourteen one thousand dollars. First Rises hijacked the podcast. You just hijacked the 819 00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:31,320 podcast to talk about it some tournament one thirty one. I'm going That's why 820 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,519 I'm going really quick. The GG Flippan Go played out today. A lot 821 00:53:35,519 --> 00:53:37,760 of people complaining about they locked the entry one thousand and eighty eight entries, 822 00:53:38,119 --> 00:53:44,880 nine hundred and fifty seven K in the prize pool. There is no hold 823 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,320 on, hold on what do you mean they locked the entry. There were 824 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,440 some issues with like they weren't open. They're supposed to run all day, 825 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,039 but now like people are complaining that they stopped running them something. I didn't 826 00:53:55,079 --> 00:53:59,360 quite get the full story, but it seems like it says on the show 827 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,239 sheet running all day. So I'm not really sure when all day means. 828 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:07,960 To me, that means all day, but there were some social media voicing 829 00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:10,840 of whatever I'm trying to say. Anyway, one hundred and thirty one K 830 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,519 four First, I'm going to raffle off really quickly. The one hundred and 831 00:54:15,519 --> 00:54:17,679 thirty six players left. Here are some of the guys that are through today 832 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:22,800 too. You've all Runson, Mike Watson, Ashley deeb and Sean deep Wow, 833 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:27,639 Dylan Welcomes judging the kids. Who knows, probably Dylan Weisman, Patrick 834 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,519 Leonard Chance, Corneth, Dan Seppio, Galenholmike Lea, Chris phony Chen, 835 00:54:30,639 --> 00:54:36,119 David Williams, Jeremy Osmas fire at least a bullets to get in missed, 836 00:54:36,119 --> 00:54:39,880 the consistency of not getting it done. Randa kempe Jao, Samao Gabriel Andrade 837 00:54:40,039 --> 00:54:45,039 Scott Siva so we'll see he's Siva Osmus. There's some peer white stuff gone 838 00:54:45,039 --> 00:54:49,519 on in this one. Alex Lensky, Chris Brewer, Shanna Show, Toby 839 00:54:49,599 --> 00:54:52,440 Lewis, they're just a handful of one hundred and thirty six players through to 840 00:54:52,639 --> 00:54:57,079 day two tomorrow, where it's a normal time. It's not a going to 841 00:54:57,079 --> 00:55:01,119 go anymore for those unaware, just that day one being we went up with 842 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:06,679 that massive lines athodot huge field. Most likely we'll discuss one tomorrow. Just 843 00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:08,519 one quick boom boom boom. All right, Well, if that's all we 844 00:55:08,599 --> 00:55:12,440 got, yeah, we're gonna get out of here, all right, all 845 00:55:12,519 --> 00:55:14,000 right, that's gonna do it for us. By the way, it looks 846 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,960 like there's a new beef forming between Sean Perry and Phil Helmy. Yeah, 847 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:22,400 it's all fake, these two guys. Phil Hemmy just responded I saw saying 848 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:29,000 they're all talk. I mean they don't they're all talking. The only thing 849 00:55:29,039 --> 00:55:31,519 that I think is probably truthful in both of these, like things from one 850 00:55:31,599 --> 00:55:36,159 from Sean one from Phil, is that poker was ready to host it. 851 00:55:37,159 --> 00:55:40,840 Both have said that, yes, we are ready to host it when people 852 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,880 man up and get to the table and let's go right, man up exactly. 853 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,760 So all right, that's gonna do it for us.
