WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.199 Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.480 Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters, Remco rinking 3 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.719 across the table from me and baby, oh Baby, what 4 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.000 a day. Night two was at the w SP main 5 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.440 event for the final table from seven down to two. 6 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.159 Somehow we got down to heads up play. Wild scenes 7 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.320 here we're gonna talk all about it. We talked to 8 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.479 plenty of players along the way. We got a little 9 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.079 bit of some live audio between Remco and I from 10 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:43.759 the floor in the midst. 11 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:43.960 Of it all. 12 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.000 But it is Lucas Jumalan, the twenty two year old 13 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.000 out of Spokane, Washington, Washington, excuse me, maintaining his chip 14 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.880 lead from start of this final table until heads up play. 15 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.479 He's going with Lori Saskat out of Finland. The I 16 00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.840 think he's like a sales marketing manager or something, not 17 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.040 a professional poker player by trade. Calls himself a hobbyist, 18 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.519 a semi pro whatever it is. Of course, maybe that 19 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.640 changes now, but he is the player that could be 20 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.120 the kryptonite to Lucas Jumalan, who has seemed like he 21 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.959 could really do no wrong. But Soscolotti is not going 22 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.560 to back down. I mean, what do you got to 23 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.280 say about today? 24 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.599 Today was the counter opposite from what we saw on 25 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.000 the first day of the Final Table. The first day 26 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.599 was was drawn out one hundred and eight hands, much 27 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.159 to the liking of Sam Greenwood. I don't think Sam 28 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.959 Greenwood approves of today's play. Well, he doesn't like excitement. 29 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.680 Doesn't like excitement. All everything needs to be mechanical. And 30 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.680 of course Sam, if you listen, I joke. 31 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.920 I joke. But Sam's catching a lot of shade on 32 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:52.840 the spot it was. 33 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.480 It was funny to see the contrast on social media yesterday, 34 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.239 where you know, some were saying how boring it wasn't 35 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.120 some were saying how interesting it was, and the word 36 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.040 exciting wasn't really used, even though the broadcast of product, 37 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.199 everything surrounding it, Nick and Ali was just you know, 38 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.360 top notch, A plus. All that stuff was great. But 39 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:20.719 when the entertainment value arrives due to some high profile 40 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:26.400 all ins, some crazy runouts, some Greg Mueller high fiving 41 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.759 Scotty tickets with the shirt off on the rail, that's 42 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.599 when you have a real main event Final Table on 43 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.520 your hands. What I saw today was exactly what I 44 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.479 want to see when I watch poker. On TV. This 45 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.800 is the kind of stuff where I can tell my 46 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.800 father in law, who has a loose sort of loosely 47 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.400 is loosely interested in poker. I can tell him, turn 48 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.439 on the TV, you're gonna want to watch this. And 49 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.159 that's exactly what I did. So with that in mind, Donnie, 50 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.919 I think that you said it right when it happened. 51 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.199 I think it was only a few hands into play 52 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.800 today when when Mueller doubled up and the whole atmosphere 53 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.919 seemed to change, and the whole sort of vibe in 54 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.080 the room seemed to sort of loosen up a little bit. 55 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.400 Yeah, he doubled up with King Jack versus Ace king. 56 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.840 He had the King jack. He drilled the jack on 57 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.840 the flob. It did come jack ten eight, So he 58 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.960 did have to fade an ace or a queen. This 59 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.439 was against Laurie Sascolotti. Greg did come into the day 60 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.199 as the short stack ends up doubling up here. You 61 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.400 could see it in his face at multiple points throughout 62 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.719 this runout. First when the jack comes, he's like, oh 63 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.879 my gosh, it happened, like it the miracle just happened, right, 64 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.400 So you got that? Then, like he's got us obviously 65 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.680 sweat the last two cards, and you could just tell 66 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.080 it was like, oh my god, I haven't felt like 67 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.360 Greg has felt that this is the biggest moment of 68 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.479 his poker career until this moment going to the turn 69 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.520 where he hit the jack, he took the lead, and 70 00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.400 then it was like, oh shit, I got a hold 71 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.360 on for two more cards and if I do it 72 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.080 could mean multiple mill more millions of dollars, and heck, 73 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.879 maybe I go on to win this thing after. I mean, 74 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.680 you talked with him yesterday and we heard from him 75 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.439 how he was. He was, in a way kind of 76 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.960 beating himself up a little bit over that that King jackhand. 77 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.600 Coincidentally enough, King Jack resurrecting its head once again in 78 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.199 this spot. But he was He's like, you know, I 79 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.399 played that hand really bad. Comes into today, he's only 80 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.480 got what nine big blinds are ten big blinds, and 81 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.879 he's maybe he's just kind of reserved to his fate 82 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.439 where he's like, Okay, you know what, it was a 83 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.519 good run, laddered a couple spots, didn't play my best 84 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.160 in that one spot, and maybe it costs me. But 85 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.519 now it's like, oh crap, I'm way back in this 86 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.839 damn thing and this this is the hand that this 87 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.879 final table needed. If you are rooting for electricity, if 88 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.959 you're rooting for entertainment, all that sort of stuff, the fireworks, 89 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.439 et cetera. Yesterday was I would describe it as interesting. 90 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.920 Interesting is not exciting to most people. It's exciting to 91 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.839 me maybe, sure, but it's also can be portrayed as boring, 92 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.399 a grind, you know, a slog at times. But today 93 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.040 was the stone opposite. As you said, this hand kicked 94 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.439 things off early and then from there it was almost 95 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.800 like banker after banger. 96 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:09.160 Yeah. 97 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.279 And important to note there too that Muller doubled through Saskalathi, 98 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.720 so that hand really flipped things around. Muller up to 99 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.519 fifty nine million, Suscalathi down to fifty three million. And 100 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.879 the reason I want to point it out is because 101 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.639 there was a distinct difference in the approaches the players had, 102 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.160 especially those two, because Suscolathi came into play trying to 103 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.600 win the tournament. It felt like, oh, he was looking 104 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.959 for spots, he was being aggressive, he was being involved 105 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:41.480 in lots of hands, and Mueller was being patient. 106 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.040 He was sort of soaking in the moment. 107 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.600 He was enjoying this experience with this rail, But never 108 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.600 did I get the feeling that Mueller was giving himself 109 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.759 a chance to win. Suscalothie could a busted in eighth place, 110 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.279 seventh place, sixth place, but Mueller was sort of like, 111 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.240 I don't know, it's kind of weird to say he 112 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.639 wasn't trying to money ladder, because I know that he wasn't, 113 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.399 but he was also just trying to be patient and 114 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.920 trying to sort of let the game come to him 115 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.639 and Susclotik was coming to the game. Next big moment 116 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.360 that we saw at the final table then was Jumalan 117 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:16.160 just doing Jumalan things versus Jamie Shavell in hand number 118 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.120 one twenty one, where kind of in a weird way, Donnie, 119 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.519 And I think I saw a few tweets about this, 120 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.560 people saying like, this is maybe the only mistake that 121 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.199 Jamie Shavell made at the final table makes it ten 122 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.079 million pre with four and a half behind, Jumalan made 123 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.319 the call and that's when Shavel moved on for only 124 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:33.879 four and a half million. Into a little bit over 125 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.639 twenty Shavel had king six of hearts on seven four 126 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.519 to three. Jumbelan called the King ten High obviously priced in, 127 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.879 and the King ten High simply held up. So that was, 128 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.680 you know, unfortunate for shavel to go out that way, definitely, 129 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.480 you know, brought a tough game to the table cash 130 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.519 one point five million, and yeah, then we were down 131 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.240 down a six. 132 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.879 Yeah, tough spot for Chevelle here. I mean, it's hard 133 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.720 to say when you're when you're that short. You know, 134 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.360 you look down, you see the King six of hearts, 135 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.680 You're probably like, okay, this is it. 136 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.040 Now. 137 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.480 If he just moves all in fully and doesn't leave 138 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.759 some chips behind, how does this one play out? I'm 139 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.759 gonna guess the same. You know, I think King ten 140 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.480 with that chip lead for Jumalan in the big line. 141 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.319 Given how short Chevelle is, then you know, I think 142 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.839 he's still ultimately out of the tournament. Now, maybe you 143 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.199 want to say, okay, he could fold it and maybe 144 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.439 waited for a better spot, or maybe somebody else collides 145 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.360 and you go from there. But when you're that short, 146 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.800 I can't necessarily blame him for how this one played 147 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.680 out and ultimately didn't hit. But his eighth cash in 148 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.600 the WSIP main event one point five million dollars so 149 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.160 a very very good run for him. And then from there, 150 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.120 I mean it was just again more Jumalan. 151 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.879 Yeah's what it was. He It was. 152 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.319 Just you kind of look, we have the chip count 153 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.120 screen in front of us from where we're sitting in 154 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.879 the media row, and like every time you looked up, 155 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.360 every five minutes or ten minutes, he had like ten 156 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.920 or fifteen more, just kept just kept going, climbing, climbing, climbing. 157 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.000 Next thing, you know, it's like, crap, he's got two 158 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.519 hundred and seventy five million. Oh look he's got two 159 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.920 hundred and eighty five million, two ninety Like he's almost 160 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.959 got three hundred million. Like it's just wild stuff. But 161 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.079 then then we got Mueller doubling again. Yeah, you know, 162 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.360 this was another crazy moment. This time it was through 163 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.040 Rami Hamoud, Canada and Canada War crimes. Here nine's for Mueller, 164 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.160 Ace King for Rami Hamoud. Mueller fades the runout another 165 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.360 spot where it was like he's he's just sweating the 166 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.759 whole way and like his rail was the biggest by 167 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.919 far here and you could feel it that they felt it, 168 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.559 just like he felt everyone was so invested NonStop channing. 169 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.799 He ultimately ends up winning this hand. He's doing fist 170 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.480 pumps out there, going into his rail high five's hugs, 171 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.960 the whole thing. It was just crazy stuff. Now Hamod 172 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.120 wasn't out but left pretty short after this one. 173 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.759 E Mueller also up to eighty two million after this hand, 174 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.039 which in hindsight is kind of wild to think that 175 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.000 he got up that high that sort of early into 176 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.759 today's play. At that point, Sascalothi was only on forty 177 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.600 nine million. Gagliano, who basically was not involved in the 178 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.480 play at all today, was more like a spectator and 179 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.279 we'll we'll hear from him in a minute. But that 180 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.120 was definitely interesting to see. And Mueller going up to 181 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.440 eighty five eighty two million might make you think like, oh, 182 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.960 now he has a chance to perhaps get some control, 183 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.159 but nothing like that ever really evolved. And it's even 184 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.840 funnier when you think that shortly after he got up 185 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.840 to eighty two million, there was the big all in 186 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.120 with Suscalathi doubled with Kings versus Ace Jack versus Han Feng, 187 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.480 and all of a sudden, Mueller is second in chips 188 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.720 because the person ahead of him lost a chunk, being 189 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.679 Han Feng. And all of a sudden, you think, are 190 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.840 we going towards a Mueller Jumlan heads up. 191 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.320 I mean, it looked like that at some point, you know, 192 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.799 And it was it was more like in a way 193 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.279 process of elimination that he ended up making it up 194 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.759 to second place. Not that people were eliminated, but people 195 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.240 just kept getting kind of knocked down, and all of 196 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.279 a sudden you look at the board and it's like, oh, 197 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:06.639 Mueller's in second. But that's also like this today was 198 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.399 just kind of wacky in that you had Jumalan once again, 199 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.240 so far and away a chip leader right, and then 200 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.200 everyone else like one big pot or one double up 201 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.000 and like they're in second or third right behind him 202 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.240 because everyone was so bunched together even though people were 203 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.240 super super short, like Greg when he doubled the first time, 204 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.360 he doubled like all the way up the leaderboard to 205 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.039 like third place, it was like out of nowhere, but 206 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.960 he only had like twenty bigs if he was still 207 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.039 in third place. It was just it was an absolutely 208 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.399 wild dynamic at the table, and I mean, I don't 209 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.200 think you could have scripted it better coming off of 210 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.759 what we saw on the first day. You know, if 211 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.919 you were like, like if you got everyone in the 212 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.360 room and you're like, hey, guys, we got to write 213 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.600 a more electric day, like this is what you would 214 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.000 come out with. 215 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:49.759 It was. 216 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.559 It was awesome, absolutely awesome, and through it all you 217 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.120 got to give credit to Jumalan because he never lost 218 00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.200 that top spot the whole time. 219 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:04.120 Yeah, he continued by taking Ramihamu's final chips, who was 220 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.440 all in with He was all in with so many outs, 221 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.559 probably too many queen check with the jack of spades 222 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.879 on eight six deuce with three spades, so he had 223 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.759 overcards flush straw against Jumalan's ace five high no flush straws, 224 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:21.039 so ACE five held up in true Jumalan fashion because 225 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.080 when it's your tournament, it's your tournament, and you know 226 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.159 it continued to be his tournament. But yeah, Jumalan at 227 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.960 that point, and this is kind of wild to look at. 228 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.039 Right after he busted Hamud, he had a massive, massive 229 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.679 pot against Han Feng where he flopped the full house 230 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.120 seventh full of aces and the hand resulted in him 231 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.360 taking fifty million ish off of Han Feng, and he 232 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.919 had three hundred and seventy six million chips with Mueller 233 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.200 being next closest at sixty sixty six million, And I 234 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:49.960 think you said it that at that point he goes 235 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.000 he has more than half to chips in play. 236 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.360 And well over, hell over, there's like five hundred fifty 237 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.360 million in play. Yeah, three hundred and seventy six million. 238 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.799 So at that point of the tournament, it was basically 239 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.200 like who's going to finish second, who's going to even 240 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.799 have a little bit of resistance versus Jumalon, And that 241 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:10.279 question was answered almost immediately in the most dramatic of fashion, 242 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.679 when Han Feng ended up all in forced term in 243 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.039 life with pocket ass versus Sascolatti with nad wild and 244 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.720 this hand was the most electric hand of the day. 245 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.919 Flopp comes out ten eight three, all diamonds. Han Feng 246 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:27.120 has the acid diamonds for even more protection than a 247 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.559 jack of hearts on the turn, giving Susclothi and opening 248 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.080 a straight draw, but still cannot hit a diamond, and 249 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.639 the river is a black queen, and Antonio Abrego got 250 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.360 like the shot of the day where you see Han 251 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.399 Feng crumple up in a in a ball of misery 252 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.200 as Susclati jumps into the screen and celebrates like we've 253 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.240 never seen before and prior to that, Donnie, I don't 254 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.399 recall seeing any emotion from Sascalath, and it was almost 255 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.919 like he unlocked something new inside of him. 256 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:58.080 That he was not yet aware of. 257 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:04.799 And also Greg Mueller in this hand folding Jacks, Oh right, yeah, 258 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.159 you're right, like this hand was. This hand was wild 259 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.320 because you had Fang who had just lost the big 260 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.159 pot to Lucas Jumalan and he's he's now sitting on 261 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.960 like I think it's eight and a half big blinds. 262 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.679 Maybe a little bit less maybe seven and a half 263 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.480 after after that hand, but either way, super short sub 264 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.279 ten for sure. He min raises under the gun, which 265 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.360 should in a lot of ways set off a lot 266 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.919 of alarm bells because you don't have many min raised. 267 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.960 I don't think you have really any min rais folds there, 268 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.840 so your min raises come from predominantly aces and then 269 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.279 maybe some kings, but kings I think does have a 270 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.879 little bit of blending between shoving and min raising. You 271 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.120 you might even see some limps in this spot with 272 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.080 the stack size like Fang had. But first of all, 273 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.679 the min rays under the gun from Fang should should 274 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.399 raise some alarm bells for the players. Then you have 275 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:58.000 Sascelotti going fifty just this fifty million, he says, he said, 276 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.279 let's gam fifty million. Let's gam, and Mueller listen credit 277 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:06.279 to him kind of immediately. You could tell by watching 278 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.720 his mannerisms that he felt that something was up with 279 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.679 two jacks, which is, I don't know, I feel like 280 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.200 I would go broke here for sure. Yes, it does 281 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.440 suck in a way that you have Fang who looks 282 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:19.399 like he's got a really nutted range here from under 283 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:24.960 the gun. But if you beat Sascolotti for the side, 284 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.399 it kind of doesn't matter, right, So it's a super 285 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.120 tricky spot. Mueller tanked and tanked and tanked. At one 286 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.039 point he tried to talk to Sasclotti. Couldn't because that's 287 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.120 not allowed, especially with three players in the hands. 288 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.600 But I said something when this hand was in progress. 289 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.200 I said, like, it looks as though Muller is almost 290 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.120 more worried about Han Feng than he is about Sasclati. 291 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.279 And Han Feng was sitting there like a statue, while 292 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.399 Sasclati seemed really relaxed and you know, resigned in his 293 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.320 fate because he was already all in. So it didn't 294 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.480 really matter to him anymore what was going to happen. 295 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.639 His chips were in the middle, Go figure it out, guys. 296 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.440 That was sort of the attitude that I was seeing 297 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:04.159 from him. And then ultimately Mueller folds and erupts in 298 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.080 celebration as Han Feng literally triple fist, pump calls and 299 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.159 slams the aces on the table, only to then that 300 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:12.360 leading to his elimination. 301 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.840 I would have cried, honestly, having the acid diamonds in 302 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:17.399 my hand on a three diamond flop like that, I 303 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.960 would have just burst out into tears. I mean, I mean, 304 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.720 what the hell are you gonna do? I mean, that's 305 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.840 just it's a sick way to go. I will say that, 306 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:30.440 you know, getting that far fifth place for two point 307 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:34.240 twenty five million, when you came in eight out of nine, 308 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.360 not too far ahead of nine, you had to battle 309 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.720 as a short stack for much of the day. It 310 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.759 probably definitely seemed feels like a win. But given that 311 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.039 he did finish the first night of the final table 312 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.919 second in chips with more than one hundred million, thinking like, okay, 313 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.960 I'm the guy in line to get heads up with 314 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.559 Lucas Jumalan, and then you go out in a sick 315 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.480 one like this, I mean, and then there's also the 316 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.960 sliding doors moment where on the hand where he had 317 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.000 tens and Jumalan had the sevens, Mueller opens the button 318 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:04.039 for a min raise. If Fang just moves all in, yeah, 319 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.879 probably just wins the hand right there, right, it's crazy. 320 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.000 Now there's the other kind of sliding doors where because 321 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.000 he flattered from the small blind, there's a real argument 322 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.440 that Jumelan could have just said I'm all in, and 323 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.600 then if he's all in, obviously Greg gets out of 324 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:19.159 the way, but Fang calls and he's out of the tournament. 325 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.279 Like so it's just like so crazy how it all. 326 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.679 You know, one move here, one move there can just 327 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.279 change how it all kind of shapes out. So it's 328 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:32.399 just it really is just just wild stuff here on 329 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.080 this this second night of the final table. I mean, 330 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:36.799 I can't understate that specific element. 331 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:53.200 Of it all. I think it really highlights how this 332 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.720 game is so beautiful because there are thousands of scenarios 333 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.279 possible and we only get to watch one of those 334 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.120 scenarios play, which is the scenario that ends up happening. 335 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:06.000 But there were so many hands today where small differences 336 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.359 or you know, perhaps a slightly different approach could have 337 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:14.200 changed everything. And this is just how the thing unfolded. 338 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.000 And Han Feang's on the rail and Sascolothi is all 339 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.640 of a sudden up to two hundred million ish and 340 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.720 then he said. 341 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.200 Well, hold on one second, because he got he was 342 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.240 up to about ninety. 343 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:27.640 Million hand right, and then and then he doubles through and. 344 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:31.720 Michael Gagliano after that hand had eight and a half 345 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.160 nine big lines, so now he's the super short guy. 346 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.000 But then Sascolotti just decides to get all in against 347 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.359 Lucas Jumelot, just like insane, like that's where it's just wild. 348 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:43.960 So he gets all in with Lucas Jumlan. This is 349 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.119 just the nature of Sascolotti. You saw it a lot 350 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.599 on the first day of the final table. He was 351 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.720 kno going to back down to anyone. I mean, at 352 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.079 one point I thought he was going to call all 353 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:55.720 in with that king Queen suited against Lucas Jumalan. Now 354 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.400 they had the same hand and they probably would have 355 00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.319 chopped unless somebody made a four foot or a flush, 356 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.920 but you know whatever. But here on the nine to 357 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.920 four duce flop, he gets it all in with Jumalan. 358 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.039 Jumalan's got four to three or sorry, they got it 359 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.799 all on the turn nine four duce five. So Jumalan's 360 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.000 got a pair of fours, so he can hit a four. 361 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.839 He can hit a three four to make trips three 362 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:17.400 to hit two pair. He can also hit an ace 363 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.720 to make a straight. He can hit six to make 364 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.440 a straight. And Sascolotti's got two tens for just the overcard. 365 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.160 Gotta fade plenty outs he does. That was the pot 366 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.400 that got him up to almost one hundred and ninety million, 367 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.480 and because it was through Jumalan pulls him back down 368 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.000 to earth a little bit. And then it's like, oh 369 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.599 my gosh, we have a game, and we also we 370 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.240 have the have notts. We have the haves with Jumalan 371 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.920 and Sasclatt and then we have the have knots over 372 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.000 here with Muller and Gagliano and Gaglana is just like 373 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.720 in a way he's playing John Raisner, like you guys 374 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.119 just all kind of go crazy. I'm I'm over here 375 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.200 just collecting my millions every time we get a ladder. 376 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.599 But also just imagine, because you know, Jumala had real outs, 377 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.319 He had real outs to send Susclotta home if that, 378 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.000 If that happens, he basically has four hundred and sixty 379 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.240 million or four and fifty million, which is just like 380 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:04.039 the end of the tournament. 381 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:05.160 It's just absolutely insane. 382 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.680 But yes, sessild It doubles up and all of a sudden, 383 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.960 we got ourselves a match because then we finally have 384 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:13.559 someone who can challenge Jumalan, which you know, for the 385 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.839 sake of the broadcast and for the sake of the excitement, 386 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.680 is definitely great to see. Juelan isn't easy to get 387 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.920 to root for, but we also don't want to just 388 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.319 hand him the trophy. This is definitely something that's. 389 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:24.759 Gonna have some resistance. Yeah, exactly. 390 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.400 And then you know, Gagliano and and we'll listen to 391 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.839 him in the second here. Really didn't get any hands, 392 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.400 didn't get any spots, and he was the consummate professional 393 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.279 when I spoke to him after his elimination. 394 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.039 Yeah, he was great. He lost me in a pretty 395 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.839 brutal fashion as well. He had King Queen up against 396 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.640 King Jack for Jumalan. Jumalan turns a jack after the 397 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.400 flop came King high and we say goodbye to Gagliano. 398 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:50.880 And as Remco said, he did catch up with Gags 399 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.920 on his way out. And here's that conversation right now. 400 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.400 Michael, fourth place in the main. 401 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.400
