00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:19,400

that I feel like we get one of these pretty

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,239
much every single year. At the World Series of Poker,

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760
we got the twenty five k high Roller is down

34
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:03,000

51
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,840
need to start diving into the PLO streets more myself.

52
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,560
I do play a few tournaments online when I'm playing

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,840
online throughout the year, but I mean, it's just it

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,199
seems so incredible right now these games. Like if you're

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,159
looking for value and you feel like you got a

56
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,240
good grasp on poker in general, then you probably got

57
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,360
the type of mind that can probably figure out PLO.

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,840
And with as popular as PLO is right now, like

59
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,960
I gotta start diving into it more. I would encourage

60
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,280
you guys to start diving into it more. And you know,

61
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:33,360
I would also encourage you guys to go check out

62
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,840
PLO Mastermount again. That's Plomastermind dot com, slash Poker Go

63
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,400
where you can save twenty percent now through July fourteenth.

64
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,840
All Right, the first thing we want to talk about

65
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,719
here is Jeff Madson, former WSOP Player of the Year.

66
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:50,639
On the episode that I did with ODB, you guys

67
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:53,039
might have heard some of that loud cheering, that loud

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,639
yelling going on in the background. That was celebrations for

69
00:03:56,919 --> 00:04:01,400
Jeff Madson because he won his fifth WSP Gold bracelet

70
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,199
and one hundred and sixty one thousand dollars. He won

71
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280
the fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice. I talked about that

72
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,319
a couple of days ago on the Mini Mailbag episode

73
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,040
when somebody asked, what's the most prestigious fifteen hundred dollars

74
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360
bracelet that's a non hold him event? I said it

75
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,879
was this one, and Jeff Madson won the damn thing.

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Madson is also off to a pretty hot start to

77
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,480
his summer, of course this win, but he has an

78
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,279
eleventh place finish in the five k PLO from a

79
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,240
few days ago, so he's starting to you know, we're

80
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,199
starting to get the signs like, okay, he could be

81
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,839
a contender for Player of the Year. Now I think

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,240
he's gonna need a big, big, summer, Madson, right, you know,

83
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,199
because the stuff that's coming up at Paradise at the

84
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:49,759
end of the year, like Sean Deeve and all the

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,879
heavy hitters are going to be very much in the

86
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,319
mix for all that stuff. And we know WSB Paradise

87
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:59,439
is just big Bayen's galore, So I think Jeff will

88
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:02,040
probably need to do a lot of his point getting

89
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,920
during the summer. And then obviously if you have a

90
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,759
lot of point getting during the summer, that means some

91
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,160
big results, so you have a bit of a larger bankroll,

92
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,439
then you can fire some of the bigger stuff down

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,360
at WSP Paradise if you do want to chase the

94
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:17,480
Doubasipy Player of the Year title. He won it back

95
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:20,199
in two thousand and six. He won two breasts that year.

96
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,759
Belief he still holds the title as the youngest POI winner,

97
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:27,600
and he mentioned I was reading through the Poker News

98
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,079
recap over on pokernews dot com. By the way I

99
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,160
shouted them out the other day, or I said go

100
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,879
give them five stars or whatever. My fault there, but

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,800
also yeah, you might as well go give them some love,

102
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,720
you know, because that's what that's where I got my

103
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,360
podcast start at the old PM pod. But yeah, but

104
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:44,800
Mattson talked about, you know, wanting to go for the

105
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,800
Player of the Year title again, and he said, like

106
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:48,560
he's very much going for it now that he got

107
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,240
this win, he got that eleventh place in the in

108
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,240
the five KPL, He's he's very much in the thick

109
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,000
of things. You know. Again, I do think he's going

110
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,160
to need a very, very big summer. Jeff is a

111
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,759
guy to me. Yes, he can play the big bet stuff,

112
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:02,399
he can play Nolan and hold him. But I think

113
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,439
he's somebody who's probably gonna have his results come more

114
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,600
from the mixed game variety of tournaments. But that said,

115
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,360
I mean there there's a ton of tournament. There's a

116
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:15,319
ton of tournaments, not the twenty twenty six wsop that

117
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:17,879
that Madson is going to be getting into. So you know,

118
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:21,040
let's let's uh, let's see how he goes Now. I

119
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,360
say that he's gonna need a big, big summer in

120
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:25,240
my opinion to be able to compete with someone like

121
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,920
Sean Dee. But I also won't be surprised in the

122
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:32,120
slightest if he's in the mix. Okay, so just just

123
00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:34,199
keep an eye on that you know, Jeff Madson gets

124
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,160
bracelet number five. He said he wants to chase that

125
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,920
player of the year titled get It Again. So so

126
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,600
you know, don't be don't be shocked when when Jeff

127
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,079
Madson's you know, fighting with Sean deeb, you know till

128
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:48,600
the bitter end of the summer. Just quickly on Madson's

129
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,040
other four bracelets, I mentioned the two that he won

130
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,360
in two thousand and six. I mean, he was a

131
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:57,160
freaking baby when when he won those bracelets. He won

132
00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,199
the two K Nolanan hold Him for six hundred and

133
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:02,560
sixty K. He won the five K Nolman HoldEm six

134
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,360
Max event for six hundred and forty K. So's that's

135
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:08,319
almost one point three million dollars between those two scores there.

136
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,959
Then there was a little bit of a gap. Twenty

137
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,600
thirteen is when his next bracelet came and it was

138
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,399
in potlom and Omaha three K buy in PLO. He

139
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:18,959
won three hundred and eighty four thousand dollars and then

140
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,639
two years later, in two thousand and fifteen, he won

141
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,800
the three K PLO High Low for three hundred and

142
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:27,079
one thousand dollars. So then another bit of a gap

143
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,519
from twenty fifteen to now eleven years for when he

144
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,839
won his fifth w Soobgle bracelet. Buck congratulations two, Jeff

145
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:48,079
Matsy Niowa Kihara. He grabbed his second w soop gold bracelet. Now,

146
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:49,879
if you want to talk about a gap in bracelets,

147
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:53,399
this is a big gap in bracelets. His second bracelet.

148
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,879
His first one was back in twenty twelve when he

149
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,639
won the five K PLO six Max for five hundred

150
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,319
and twelve thousand dollars. This summer, Kihara won the ten

151
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:05,199
K Nolan MEDUSA seven Singles Off for four hundred and

152
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,560
twenty eight thousand dollars. You know, he did talk again

153
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,959
just just reading through the Poker News recaps. You know,

154
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,759
these guys, by the way, Poker News have been doing

155
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,360
some great recaps this summer. You know, I'm a soccer

156
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,439
for a good recap. I'm a soccer for some good

157
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,519
quotes in there. And we've gotten some good stuff from

158
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,120
the Poker News peeps this summer, and Kihara was talking

159
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,959
about how basically he almost he wanted to quit tournament poker.

160
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,440
He was thinking about quitting tournament poker, you know, just

161
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,639
hadn't had really the results. He's also someone to me,

162
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:37,799
you know, over the years, like playing the twenty five

163
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,600
K Fantasy League, he's always kind of been on my radar.

164
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:45,000
But since he had that win back in twenty twelve,

165
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,399
it's like, you know, what kind of what happened? Because

166
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,200
I remember when he kind of came around and he

167
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,840
was kind of the hot new guy on the scene

168
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,559
and everyone's like, okay, like he's he seems like he

169
00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:56,879
understands a lot of the different games. He's obviously out

170
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:59,639
there blasting. He's doing well, like this is the guy now,

171
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,320
right and for whatever reason, you know, I mean, variance

172
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,679
is a bitch, I guess in tournament poker, but things

173
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,159
didn't like totally work out for him in terms of winning,

174
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,360
and that's ultimately what you're going to be measured by,

175
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:13,559
and that's what people are going to remember you for.

176
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,600
And yeah, you know, it took a while, but thankfully,

177
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:21,679
at least for Kihara's sake, that he did give it

178
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,279
one last go at it. He came out to the

179
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:27,399
twenty twenty sixth dibicip and he's here winning his secondbsop

180
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:29,480
goald Brace so that it comes with more than four under k.

181
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:31,240
He said, he's going to be playing a lot of

182
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,039
the bigger stuff now, and you know, while we're on him,

183
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,200
he then goes and fires into the ten K Stud

184
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,000
and he finishes day one with the chip Ley. So

185
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,759
you know, the heater for Kihara is certainly real right now.

186
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,000
And not only that, I mean, I might as well

187
00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:53,440
just stay on it for a second. But Kihara is

188
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,919
in the final eleven of the ten K Stud Championship.

189
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,200
They did bag with eleven players left, so they are

190
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:03,440
entering day three. He is sitting six out of eleven.

191
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,559
He's in the money right now for at least twenty

192
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,519
four thousand dollars. There's more than three hundred thousand dollars

193
00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:12,440
up top. The eleven players are topped by the one

194
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,039
and only the Grinder, Michael Mizeraki. I mean, this guy

195
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,639
is absolutely freaking unreal with the way that he just

196
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:22,480
seems to do things in tournaments. But yeah, Grinders on

197
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:26,200
top of the ten K seven Card Stud Championship entering

198
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:29,320
day three. Day three is on Sunday, got Chris Brewer

199
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,080
and second James Chung, Ryan Miller, Jeremy Osmis, Jeremy Ols

200
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:37,399
is back from an overseas trip to Japan. He did

201
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,679
get his vlogger badge, so he is ready to go,

202
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:42,440
and he is already in the final eleven of a

203
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,200
tournament I mentioned Niowiki Aar was in sixth place. He is.

204
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,840
Maxim piece Enko's in there. Alan Kessler megan a run

205
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:53,080
this name, now this next name that I'm about to read.

206
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:54,879
I walked through the field and I was like, hold on,

207
00:10:55,039 --> 00:10:56,759
this isn't a hold internal, What the hell is going on?

208
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,919
Dan cepil Dan, I didn't know this guy knew how

209
00:10:59,919 --> 00:11:03,120
to spell stud let alone. Play it good. Old Danny

210
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,919
boy out there. Brad Rubin is in there, and Jason

211
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:09,879
Kluska as well. That rounds out the eleven players you had.

212
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,159
David Odb Baker. I guess no podcast run good because

213
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,639
he stone bubbled the event. And it was kind of

214
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,240
a sick way in that there were two all ins.

215
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,679
It was he was all in and Robert Miss Rocky

216
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:23,480
was all in at the same table. Miss Rocky had

217
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,679
ODB covered by one thousand chips, and you know, therefore

218
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:32,159
he got the higher position and Odb stone bubbled it.

219
00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:34,879
But you know, as we know, king of the Heart rankings,

220
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:38,080
mister Odb, he will be back firing again. In the

221
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,240
next one, Frederick Normand won the fifteen hundred dollars PLO

222
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:45,320
Hi Low for his first WSOP gold race. Atop the

223
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,799
field of one thousand and ninety three entries, took home

224
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:53,360
two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. I mentioned that

225
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,799
we always see something, or I feel like we always

226
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,000
see something once a summer, and what it is is

227
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:03,279
that if somebody wins a tournament that they've never played before.

228
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,320
Normand had never played a PLO high low tournament before

229
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,240
this one. He had played a big O tournament, I believe,

230
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,919
but that's a different game. This is PLO high low. Now.

231
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,480
Norman is a very good PLO player, very very good.

232
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,200
So I'm thinking he's somebody who can just kind of

233
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,639
figure it out on the fly. And obviously he figured

234
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,720
it out because he won the damn tournament for two

235
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:32,120
hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. Second place in this

236
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,840
one was Michael Rodriguez. Good Old Rods was looking for

237
00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:39,440
his second Tabyssopigo bracelet a little bit late though. You know,

238
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,320
we drafted him a couple of years ago on twenty

239
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,399
five K Fantasy, but he didn't work out that summer.

240
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,480
But here he is finishing second with a nice little

241
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,360
score and josh Aria took third place here. Believe he

242
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,600
was going for bracelets number eight josh Ari, but ultimately denied.

243
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,559
There the twenty five k high roller is down to six.

244
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:05,279
You got Galen Hall, Kristin fox Enjoey Wiseman, Bawding, Setnick Zizka,

245
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,240
and Ignacio Moron are among this or are the six

246
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:13,039
players remaining more than one point seven seven million dollars

247
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,399
up top. It's just freaking wild to see what Kristin

248
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,159
Foxing continues to do over and over and over again.

249
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,919
I mean she is I think she's one of my

250
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,879
like top three to five favorite players now. It's just

251
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:31,720
simply incredible. I also like that she's got a good personality,

252
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,879
Like she's she's fun at the table, Like obviously she

253
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,000
gets focused in the zone and locks in when when

254
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,360
it calls for it. But you know, earlier on in tournaments,

255
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320
she's she's talking, she's laughing it up, you know, all

256
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,080
that sort of stuff, which makes for a good entertaining player.

257
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,159
And she certainly plays an entertaining style as well. Galen Hall,

258
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,759
I mean this guy, he just shows up every summer,

259
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,279
plays a couple of tournaments here and there, and like

260
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,000
final tables one or two of them every freaking summer.

261
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,279
With this guy, it's it really is incredible and it

262
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,519
speaks to just the type of talent that that Galen

263
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Hall is and like how good of a poker mind

264
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,879
he is because he's not grinding a full tournament circuit.

265
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:16,679
I mean, like like if you just were to compare

266
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,360
him to christ Vaxin for example, she's playing everything all

267
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,679
the time, right, She's traveling to Triton, she's playing at

268
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,080
the studio for the PGT events, She's going all the

269
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,639
big buy and stuff. You know. Galen Hall like pops

270
00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:30,720
in here there and always just seems to crush. Like

271
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:35,519
it's just wild. Joey Wiseman, great player, you know, just

272
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:38,600
coming off his marriage, so I know there's baby run Good.

273
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,159
I don't know if there's you know, a new marriage

274
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,519
run good, but if not, he has it. Bout Ding.

275
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,240
I mean, this guy just always seems to freaking do

276
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:48,000
it at the dibsip. Ever, since we all kind of

277
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,759
got word, I would say from ren Linn, who bout

278
00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:53,080
ding is? You know, here he is and he's crushing

279
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:56,080
I don't know, is that in exiska that well but

280
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:59,679
a bit of a Dobissippi coming out party, I guess

281
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:02,519
for him in terms of you know, at the at

282
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:04,919
the main World Series of Poker. You know, it's just

283
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:09,320
when you do it on a stage like this, you know,

284
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,159
that's when it matters most. And he does have a

285
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,799
WSFP gold bracelets. Yeah, he won a one K no

286
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,559
limit event top the big old field of eighteen hundred

287
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,919
and seventy three entries last year at the World Series

288
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,200
of Poker. But you know what I'm getting at is

289
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,960
when when you're in a twenty five k field like this,

290
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,200
when you're up against the crushers, that this type of

291
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,360
field brings out like that's when boom, You've made it.

292
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:38,200
You know. I know a lot of people will say like, well,

293
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,360
you know, kind of anyone can win a one k

294
00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:42,720
or a fifteen hundred or whatever. I mean, it's not

295
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720
that anyone can, but you know, there's just a wide

296
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,919
variety of people that win those. But when you're up

297
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,759
there and you're crushing and performing well in ten k's,

298
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:55,600
you know, twenty five ks, even if you start going

299
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:57,440
up to fifty k stuff like that. I mean, that's

300
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,039
when like basically you become a maid man poker, and

301
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:04,320
and Ziska here is obviously showing that that he has

302
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,879
what it takes. Believe he was drafted in twenty five

303
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,200
K Fantasy. Yes he was, so you know, another one

304
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000
who has the respect of his peers, you know, to

305
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,200
go along with the fact that he is a successful players.

306
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,759
Out of these players who have made the final six,

307
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,200
here you have Kristin Foxen was drafted, Joey Wiseman was drafted,

308
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,679
Zisko was drafted. As I just mentioned in the bow ding,

309
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:30,879
it was the other one that was drafted, Galen Hall

310
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,480
not drafted, and Ignacio Moron not drafted. Those players will

311
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,360
be back on Sunday to finish it out. They are

312
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:43,120
guaranteed a little bit over three hundred thousand dollars. Top

313
00:16:43,159 --> 00:16:45,399
two places are up in seven figures. It's one point

314
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:47,600
seven million for first, one point one to eight for second,

315
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,320
then a whole bunch of prize money up for grabs.

316
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,360
My guess is my prediction is Kristin Foxen gets it done.

317
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,080
I'm gonna say Kristen Foxen won, Joey Weisman two. That's

318
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:11,160
what That's what I'm going with there switching things up.

319
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,240
Now we are through the news, I want to talk

320
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:17,720
a little bit about my day the Monsters dec I mean,

321
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,279
this thing is First of all, I've never played this

322
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,079
Monsters Act before. I've always wanted to play it, as

323
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,839
I've talked about, never really could carve out the time,

324
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,440
was able to carve out the time. This year, I'm

325
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,000
happy I got to play it. I mean, what a

326
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:33,759
freaking tournament this thing is. This thing is awesome. Structure

327
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:35,480
is great, other than the fact that they have that

328
00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:38,559
silly dinner break in there, But other than that, structure's good.

329
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,920
You know, you get a ton of play in this one,

330
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,359
and you start with fifty k chips, hour long levels,

331
00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:46,680
blind start out one two hundred. You know, it's just

332
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:52,599
it's a nice, slow, player friendly structure. We'll have Day

333
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,960
two d on Sunday, and I believe they would play

334
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,880
into the money at some point on that day, and

335
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,759
then anyone who advances would advance with the other players

336
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:04,240
who advance. Every Day one had its own day too,

337
00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:06,599
so there's a bunch of people that advanced already, and

338
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:10,000
then everyone combines on Day three on Monday. Hopefully I'm

339
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:13,400
in there as well, but yeah, this is a great tournament.

340
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,960
So you start with fifty k. As I mentioned, I

341
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,200
was able to put two hundred and fifty eight thousand

342
00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:20,119
in the bag. Not my peak. I did get up

343
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,400
over three hundred thousand, but took a couple hits. At

344
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,960
the end of the night in the final level, there

345
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,440
was a gentleman on my right who was just out

346
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,640
of control. I'll I mean, I might as well just

347
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,079
talk about it. So first of all, I'm in Normandy. Okay,

348
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,480
don't know why they put you in Normandy, but that

349
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,880
was ridiculous. We get moved from Normandy to Horseshoe. It

350
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,359
took ten minutes to go from Normandy to Horseshoe. We

351
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,559
left in the second to last level of the night

352
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:51,440
when there was exactly two minutes on the clock. By

353
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:55,039
time we got to the other room, there was fifty

354
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:57,920
two minutes on the clock. Eighty people just walking like

355
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,640
halfway down the strip. It's just that they got to

356
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,000
do something better than that. But anyway, I get moved in,

357
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,400
I sit down at this table. Mike Didntali's there, don't

358
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,400
know anyone else. Got to my right, starts talking about

359
00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:13,440
I have this little figurine of a black dog looks

360
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,000
like my dog, Duke, and he starts asking me about it.

361
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:20,240
He says, he tells me that he wants a dog

362
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:25,920
to retire somewhere like basically like on a barn somewhere,

363
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,240
or on a farm somewhere, not a barn, on a

364
00:19:28,279 --> 00:19:31,000
farm somewhere with a barn, just so his dog can

365
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,400
just run around. He doesn't have to put him on

366
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,039
a leash or whatever. But then about two minutes later

367
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,440
he tells someone else at the table because someone asked

368
00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:39,960
him what he does, and he tells someone that he

369
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:43,119
is retired. So I couldn't quite understand that if he

370
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,599
wanted to retire or if he is retired. Then he

371
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,680
proceeded to straddle three times from the under the gum position.

372
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:54,680
He played ninety percent of hands. He went from two

373
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,400
hunder k to bag. I played with him for forty minutes.

374
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,440
He went from two hunderd K to nine hundred and

375
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,200
like fifteen thousand or something like one of the hottest

376
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,200
runs I've ever seen. Like he would just call bets

377
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,680
on flop and turn with bottom pair, drill the trips

378
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,720
on a river. Somebody would have like top two pair,

379
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:14,680
and he would get paid like it was just wild

380
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:17,519
shit from this guy. He would limp some hands, he

381
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:20,240
would four and five x some hands. He was never

382
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:24,039
folding to raises, really never ever folding to flop bets

383
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:26,480
at all. I mean, it was just an absolute wild

384
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:29,160
spin up for this guy. And if that's at one

385
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,480
point he also said he asked if he could bag

386
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,440
and tag his chips so he could go home. He's like,

387
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,960
I have enough right to bag in tag. Can I

388
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,839
just bag and tag and leave. Everyone's like, no, you

389
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,960
have to actually play out till the end of the night.

390
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,799
So that's the monster stack. But a couple of the

391
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:44,839
key hands that I played, I pulled, I pulled five hands.

392
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,440
I'm doing the thing where I write every hand down

393
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:51,119
I can review it later. The first two that I'm

394
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,720
going to tell you guys about two big folds. I

395
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,319
guess maybe not that big one. I think was kind

396
00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:03,119
of big one was kind of standard. Maybe I even

397
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,880
should have folded pre flop the first one. The cutoff

398
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:12,000
opens to fourteen hundred. At three hundred six hundred, the

399
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,480
button calls the small blind calls, I call him the

400
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,359
big blind with pocket fives two black fives. The flop

401
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,559
comes seven four three rainbow action checks around turn is

402
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,880
a six, so I drill as straight small blind checks

403
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:31,759
I bet fifteen hundred into what fifty six into like

404
00:21:31,839 --> 00:21:35,000
six thousand or so, like sixty four hundred or something

405
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,440
very small cut off in the button both fold Small

406
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,279
Wine calls River is the four of four of diamonds.

407
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,759
Doesn't matter, that's a diamond, but River's a four pairs

408
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:50,079
the board. Small blind just leads all in for fifteen thousand,

409
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,000
two hundred over bets the pot, and I'm just like,

410
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,400
what is this? And I'm just like, yeah, he's like

411
00:21:57,039 --> 00:21:58,720
does he have a five here? Like that? I mean

412
00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:00,920
that's I mean, obviously he can have a five, right,

413
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:04,759
but is he doing that with a five? I don't

414
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:09,119
know this. This guy seemed pretty straightforward in the time

415
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,680
that I was playing with him. I ultimately just folded

416
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,920
my hand, you know. I was just like, he can

417
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,240
have a lot of combos of full houses here. I mean,

418
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:20,839
there's still a combo of there's the eight five that

419
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,799
can beat me for a higher straight. So yeah, I

420
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,559
just said, you know what, I don't think that these

421
00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:29,359
players are just gonna go blasting over bets all in

422
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,519
for their tournament life without it was kind of my

423
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:36,240
decision there. So yeah, yeah. Then there's a hand where

424
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,400
a woman who was who was playing pretty aggressive and

425
00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:45,079
she seemed she was tough, like she was doing a

426
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:47,920
lot of like tricky things that were throwing a lot

427
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,880
of players off. I did win some chips off her,

428
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,480
you know, just gotten some fortunate situations against her. But

429
00:22:53,759 --> 00:22:56,480
she opens his hand under the gun. They're playing or

430
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,039
playing three and six, and again she makes it twelve

431
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:02,440
hundred next to act one of the gump plus one

432
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,880
makes it thirty five hundred. A guy who was pretty

433
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,319
standard ABC would even say, probably a little bit too tight,

434
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,799
so he three bets next to act. It folds to

435
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,880
me in the cutoff, and I look down and I

436
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,559
got two Jack's jack Ahart Jack of Spades, and I'm like, hmm,

437
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,960
I mean, we're like pretty deep here, and I'm just like,

438
00:23:24,039 --> 00:23:27,519
you know, we're like, I think, well, the woman was

439
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:30,640
a little bit shorter, but the gentleman who who three

440
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,319
bet he had probably one hundred big blinds and and

441
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:37,160
I covered him slightly. So I'm thinking, you know, I

442
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,880
don't know, I don't really want to just four bet

443
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,039
this hand. I was like, I can probably just fold,

444
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:45,119
but then I was thinking, you know what, I think

445
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,039
I can just play a call and it's not the

446
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,640
end of the world, because ultimately I think there's a

447
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,720
highlighthood that everyone else behind me is going to get

448
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,799
out of the way. There also might even be the

449
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:00,680
possibility where she jams, being a little which shorter. She

450
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,599
had like thirty big lines. He folds, and then I'll

451
00:24:03,599 --> 00:24:06,960
just call her jam with my jackson and end up.

452
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,720
I called, and I called with the plan to proceed

453
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:13,920
cautiously postflop. You know, even if I flop an overpair.

454
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:16,240
Let's just you know, see how this one kind of develops.

455
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,960
Woman calls from under the gun as well. It comes

456
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,720
ten to seven, three, ten to seven of diamonds under

457
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,640
the gun checks gentleman bets five K. I call, I

458
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,720
have an overpayer. Can't just give it up just yet,

459
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,799
you know, he can be He was also the type

460
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:36,039
of player who I think would probably just even though

461
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:37,440
he's out of position in a lot of spots, I

462
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,599
think he would just bet hands like Ace King, for example.

463
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,440
So I mean, I didn't really think he would have

464
00:24:43,519 --> 00:24:47,319
Ace Queen here. It's mostly Ace King, you know, And

465
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,599
then probably a bunch of overpairs as well, so he

466
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,400
bets five K. I call, she folds U turn is

467
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,920
the five of diamonds, So diamonds do come in. He

468
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,559
bets ten K. I just fold you pretty easy fold,

469
00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:03,799
I think there. So yeah, So those are two that

470
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:07,440
I just lost kind of early on the big hand

471
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,039
that really got my climb started is folds to me

472
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,920
at five hundred, one thousand on the button, I make

473
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,720
it twenty two hundred with queen Jack of clubs small

474
00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:21,440
blind believe he was from Argentina. Three bets to seventy

475
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,160
five hundred, so I go two point two x. He

476
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,720
goes seven point five X. He's about fifty four blinds deep.

477
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:34,680
I think I cover. I call flop comes ten nine eight, bingo,

478
00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:38,039
just flop the nuts straight. He bets ten nine eight

479
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:41,039
with two spades. He bets five thousand, and I just

480
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:43,839
decided to raise right there. I mean, I think, you know,

481
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,319
he's he can have a lot of hands that I

482
00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:47,880
think are just going to continue. I did see him

483
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,160
three bets some ace wheel suited cards, you know, so

484
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,519
he could have spades here and we just get it in.

485
00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:57,000
He could obviously have two overs in spades. He can

486
00:25:57,079 --> 00:25:59,599
have an overpair that I think he just overvalues. Yeah,

487
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,839
I'm just happy to start putting money in here. I also,

488
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,799
because of how wet the board was, I didn't want

489
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,359
my action to get killed, Like if I call and

490
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,799
let's say, like the turns seven for example, or you know,

491
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:14,160
the turn is a queen or whatever it may be,

492
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,480
and he kind of shuts down with his hand. I

493
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,880
didn't want that to happen. And yeah, so I also

494
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,920
wanted it to I put in a raise where I

495
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,319
would you know, he had he had roughly forty five

496
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,200
thousand going to the flop, so he bet five k.

497
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:29,599
I was like, I can raise to an amount where

498
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:32,240
maybe he thinks that he can put it in and

499
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:34,640
get some folds out of me. I make it fourteen

500
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,160
to five. He puts in forty five thousand. I obviously snapcall.

501
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,440
He's had his ace a hard's ten of spades, so

502
00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:48,359
top pair with I guess backdoor spates. So it just

503
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,920
bricks out and I win that one. That was a nice,

504
00:26:50,960 --> 00:27:00,160
healthy pot that really got me going. Then in the

505
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,720
one fifteen hundred level, this was funny. So we get

506
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,440
back from dinner, gentleman gets moved to my rights and

507
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,720
he's like as soon as he sits down, he's just

508
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,799
a fast talking guy. He's immediately telling us about he

509
00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:17,680
just lost some two hundred k pot. On the other table,

510
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,440
he's showing the guy on the other side of him,

511
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,880
he's directly to my right. He's showing the guy in

512
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,519
the one seat whose name is Danny Pleasure, meeting you Danny.

513
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:25,880
Like he's showing in the video of how he lost

514
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,359
with his hand, and this is like this whole thing.

515
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,960
He's going on and on on. So anyway, we go

516
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,359
to dinner. We come back from dinner. There's eight players

517
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,519
at the table, but only six of them are present.

518
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,240
So on the first one, the first hand, the big

519
00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:43,519
blind is dead. That guy, the gentleman to my right, raises,

520
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,960
everyone folds. The next hand, the big blind and the

521
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,799
small blind are both dead. So there's four thousand of

522
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,039
dead money in the middle. And I'm like, he's gonna

523
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:55,200
he's gonna just keep doing this, like he's gonna try

524
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,279
and be table captain, even though he's only got like

525
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,079
fifty thousand or so chips and I have, like, you know,

526
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,160
triple that. I think he's just the type of player

527
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,000
who's just gonna try and be the table captain and

528
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,119
just attack the dead money here. So he raises from

529
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,440
the lowjack. He makes it four K. I look down

530
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,519
and see two red jacks, and I'm just like, oh,

531
00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:16,680
this is beautiful, this is so beautiful. I make it

532
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,440
eleven K, folds back to him. He he spends about

533
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,119
a minute and a half counting down his chip stack

534
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,960
over and over again. And I'm like, okay, like you

535
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,599
just are you gonna put it all in? Like let's

536
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,279
go all righty. I didn't say that, but in my head,

537
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:31,160
I'm like, okay, what are we doing? He ends up

538
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,240
just calling, So he just calls he's got about forty

539
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,599
five thousand. Behind the flop comes Queen ten, six queen clubs,

540
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,319
ten of clubs, six of spades. Remember I have red jacks,

541
00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:46,519
he checks. I go very small, thirty five hundred. He calls,

542
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:51,680
turn is the five of clubs. So club jaw does

543
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,119
get completed? He checks, I checked behind river is the

544
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,119
queen of diamonds, the pair of the board. He jams

545
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,559
all in for I think forty three thousand, five hundred.

546
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,960
I pretty much snapped call. I'm not full. I probably

547
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,920
wasn't folding a lot of rivers to this guy, I

548
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,839
just I had kind of made up my mind. You know,

549
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,519
maybe this is wrong, but I kind of made up

550
00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:14,279
my mind. This guy's just gonna blast off. So as

551
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:15,839
long as the river, I felt was a pretty good

552
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,039
one for me, and I thought pairing the Queen here

553
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,880
was a pretty good card for me, all things considered.

554
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200
So I quickly call. He says, you got it. He

555
00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:28,279
had eight o'club seven of diamonds eight high. So I

556
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,200
won that one. He was gone, and we're off and running.

557
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,599
Then I won one more big one in the Normandy

558
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,519
room before we moved over to the horseshoe. The cut off.

559
00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:43,680
My guy Danny believe he's from heard him say l Paso, Texas,

560
00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:47,200
very active player. He opens to the thirty five hundred,

561
00:29:47,599 --> 00:29:50,720
same level oney fifteen hundred. I call him the small wine

562
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,440
with two threes. Big Blind calls it comes Jack ten

563
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:58,640
three bingo rainbow as well. I checked, Big Blind checks

564
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:02,559
cut off. That's five thousand. I call big mine folds

565
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:05,359
turn six clubs, does bring in a second club? I checked,

566
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,640
cut off goes eighteen thousand. I debated raising here, but

567
00:30:09,759 --> 00:30:11,400
I thought, you know, I just want to make sure that,

568
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:13,440
like I keep all his bluffs in like I don't

569
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,640
want to fold you know, if he's just blasting off,

570
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,200
like I don't want to fold him out. So I'm

571
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,440
just fine to just continue to slow play here. Also,

572
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,000
I think, you know, him and I had kind of

573
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,240
been battling, so you know, I thought he might like

574
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,640
he could also be betting for value here and I

575
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,519
just have that smashed, and I think he might try

576
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:31,839
and go for some thinner value against me, and just

577
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,680
like barrel off three streets, so I call rivers of

578
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,880
the eight of spades, so you know, queen nine gets there,

579
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,400
nine seven gets there, like if you have a come

580
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,400
of like nine seven clubs, for example, I check he

581
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,319
bets thirty three thousand, I just call. He ends up

582
00:30:48,319 --> 00:30:51,079
having jack ten off. So if I raise turn, I

583
00:30:51,079 --> 00:30:53,400
probably get all the money. I mean we had, we

584
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,079
both had piles of chips, and yeah, maybe I left

585
00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:00,440
some money on the table there, but you know, allultimately,

586
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:02,119
I think it's fine. Like the way he was thinking

587
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:03,920
on the river too, I honestly thought he was going

588
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,680
to go all in for like one point five x pot.

589
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,559
I'm not folding. I'm just kind of you know, sy calling,

590
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:12,759
And if you just decided to backdoor and then yolo

591
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:14,440
and go for all of it. Then so be it.

592
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:18,440
But yeah, that was my day overall. After I won

593
00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:21,160
that hand, I started to just kind of play a

594
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,720
lot of pots over and over again. Did pretty well,

595
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,559
won a couple all ins against some shorter stacks. Awesome

596
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,319
against some shorter stacks. Just is what it is. Got

597
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,400
up over three hundred thousand, bag two under in fifty

598
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,720
eight thousand, come back to twenty five hundred big blind

599
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,759
so I'll have a little bit over one hundred big

600
00:31:39,759 --> 00:31:43,839
blinds to work with. This tournament's simply incredible, absolutely incredible,

601
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,480
So I'm looking forward to it. Day two d is

602
00:31:46,519 --> 00:31:50,119
on Sunday, and hopefully I continue can continue to make

603
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,839
a run in this thing. The other events that kicked

604
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,880
off on Saturday, you had the twenty five K high

605
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,680
Roller six Max, Nick Shulman bagging the day one chip lead.

606
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:04,359
Nick Shulman finished eighteenth in the twenty five K high

607
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,599
Roller for sixty four thousand. Then he hops in the

608
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:09,359
twenty five K six Max he bags the day one chipley.

609
00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:12,920
So Nick Shulman off to a nice start. We talked

610
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,240
about him many days ago when he finished second in

611
00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:18,640
the fifteen hundred dollars, do give it. Nick Shulman is

612
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,000
another guy. If he stays hot like this and he

613
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:23,480
can keep kind of stringing together these runs, he's another

614
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:27,079
person who you can see him contending for Player of

615
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:29,319
the Year. And then you had the fifteen hundred dollars

616
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:32,240
big oh kicking off. They'll have Day two on Sunday.

617
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:35,759
Day one early on, of course, had more than two

618
00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:39,000
thousand entries on Day one, but no need to get

619
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,160
into that right now. We can get into that one

620
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,119
as it goes, as that tournament gets deeper. But that's it.

621
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,400
That's the pod. Do you got to give a shout out?

622
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:53,880
Two two guys that I met, One was Justin. Justin

623
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,880
came up to me. He was playing the monster stack.

624
00:32:56,039 --> 00:32:59,519
I hope you bagged, sir. If you didn't, I'm sorry,

625
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,119
but I hope you did. And then Ryan as well

626
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:06,759
also bagged, taking I think one hundred and sixty k

627
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:10,640
into day two. D also said he's playing the main

628
00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:13,880
for the first time this year, so let's freaking go, buddy,

629
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,079
Let's make it happen. But a lot of fun being

630
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:19,039
out there playing. Absolutely love it. The World Series is

631
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,480
it's it's the best tournament series in the world hands down.

632
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,759
As I've said it once, I'll say it again, but

633
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:26,359
that's gonna do it for me. It's just past one

634
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,720
am here in Las Vegas. I gotta get some sleep

635
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:30,839
because I got to be back down there for in

636
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,720
eleven am. Restart on Sunday. My name is Donny Peters

637
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:42,079
and I will talk to you guys next time. J
