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

00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.519
stuff, leave a review. Do
we have winners? By the way,

28
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.879
we will okay, yeah, we
will figure that out. Winners, We're

29
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.599
gonna give away two decks of signed
cards, a deck of sign cads,

30
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.319
whatever, signed cards or whatever you
told me yesterday you said signed cards.

31
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.680
Did that already? Huh? We
gave away that yesterday. Oh so we

32
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.360
don't have any more. Let's let's
do something else. Just in case.

33
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.400
I know, I haven't want at
least I might have to. What else

34
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:36.599
we're gonna give away? About the
twenty five dollars shop credit, I feel

35
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.439
like we've that's kind of a little
bit played out annual subscription. No,

36
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.080
we're just doing this live on air. I love it. We could do

37
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.680
we could get someone to sign a
cod but I mean, I guess let's

38
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.639
just do a twenty five dollars shop
gift card. I mean, I mean,

39
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.000
I don't have anything else that's like
the default easy. Let's just right,

40
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.639
So two of those. You can
draw the winners and we'll figure that

41
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.680
out in a few you know what
we want to draw now? No,

42
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.639

in the commentary with Tim, if
he's not running around doing some nonsense.

57

a hat. We have plenty of
hats that we can get out to people

60
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.879
we've met. I think I met
four listeners today. A couple of them

61
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:01.280
are still in the main which is
great. You know, share they make

62
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.960
a run and let's go. Also, don't forget to sign up to Poker

63
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.800
Go as an annual subscriber, because
that'll get you entered into our drawing where

64
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.960
you could possibly win one of three
seats to next year's main event. I

65
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:20.199
really, really really want a podcast
listener to win one of those seats or

66
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.560
win all three of those seats.
Really, you know, because the podcast

67
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:30.439
listeners listen the Poker Goro subscribers like
there's poker fans, right, and then

68
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.079
like a step up on the diehard
level is a Poker Go subscriber, okay,

69
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.759
and then a step up from there
as a Poker Girl podcast listener,

70
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.319
because you have to be much more
in it. Sure, you have to

71
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.879
be more in it as a poker
fan to have a subscription to Poker Grow.

72
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.600
You've got to be even more in
it to be listening to the Poker

73
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.279
Grol podcast. Right. So those
are the elite of the elite, diehards.

74
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.240
Those are the people that I want. Those are our people. Okay,

75
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.360
we want to see you guys out
there win those seats. Yes,

76
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.000

93
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.680
chose you. So I'll get that
out. 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. Yeah, I feel like
you're someone who I always watched, so

607
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.000
I try and learn from you.
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. You should be interviewing

619
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.239
like Steve over here. He biked
across the country when he was like from

620
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.239
Seattle to Washington. Yeah, I'm
not the interesting per party here, I

621
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:29.760
swear to you. But we had
It's a great table. Everybody was awesome,

622
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.239
having fun, laughing and yeah,
I'm Max lay Regis. I don't

623
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:36.800
know what I mean, what were
you gonna play? No matter what Max

624
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:38.280
late Regord was it like a I'm
getting fomo, I need to come out

625
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:40.400
and play. No. No.
I was always intending I'm a Day two

626
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.440
kind of guy. If I could
Ridgister on day three, I'd be a

627
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.599
Day three kind of guy. But
yeah, day two is fun. You

628
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.000
know, show up, you see
some people. There's a lot of people

629
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:50.800
you see once a year. You
give him a hugg You go, wow,

630
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.239
what a beard you've grown, you
know whatever. Uh So, yeah,

631
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:58.519
it's been pleasant. 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? I guess what

787
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:25.320
do you? I mean? I
mean what year old? Tim? Though?

788
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.679
I mean what in the world?
Play the interview? 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. My name is
