Speaker 1: that I feel like we get one of these pretty
Speaker 1: much every single year. At the World Series of Poker,
Speaker 1: we got the twenty five k high Roller is down
Speaker 1: to six players. And then of course I do want
Speaker 1: to touch on my monster stack day one. D As always,

Speaker 1: Poker Go podcast, and if you're playing PLO this summer,

Speaker 1: need to start diving into the PLO streets more myself.
Speaker 1: I do play a few tournaments online when I'm playing
Speaker 1: online throughout the year, but I mean, it's just it
Speaker 1: seems so incredible right now these games. Like if you're
Speaker 1: looking for value and you feel like you got a
Speaker 1: good grasp on poker in general, then you probably got
Speaker 1: the type of mind that can probably figure out PLO.
Speaker 1: And with as popular as PLO is right now, like
Speaker 1: I gotta start diving into it more. I would encourage
Speaker 1: you guys to start diving into it more. And you know,
Speaker 1: I would also encourage you guys to go check out

Speaker 1: All Right, the first thing we want to talk about
Speaker 1: here is Jeff Madson, former WSOP Player of the Year.
Speaker 1: On the episode that I did with ODB, you guys
Speaker 1: might have heard some of that loud cheering, that loud
Speaker 1: yelling going on in the background. That was celebrations for
Speaker 1: Jeff Madson because he won his fifth WSP Gold bracelet
Speaker 1: and one hundred and sixty one thousand dollars. He won
Speaker 1: the fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice. I talked about that
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago on the Mini Mailbag episode
Speaker 1: when somebody asked, what's the most prestigious fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: bracelet that's a non hold him event? I said it
Speaker 1: was this one, and Jeff Madson won the damn thing.
Speaker 1: Madson is also off to a pretty hot start to
Speaker 1: his summer, of course this win, but he has an
Speaker 1: eleventh place finish in the five k PLO from a
Speaker 1: few days ago, so he's starting to you know, we're
Speaker 1: starting to get the signs like, okay, he could be
Speaker 1: a contender for Player of the Year. Now I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna need a big, big, summer, Madson, right, you know,
Speaker 1: because the stuff that's coming up at Paradise at the
Speaker 1: end of the year, like Sean Deeve and all the
Speaker 1: heavy hitters are going to be very much in the
Speaker 1: mix for all that stuff. And we know WSB Paradise
Speaker 1: is just big Bayen's galore, So I think Jeff will
Speaker 1: probably need to do a lot of his point getting
Speaker 1: during the summer. And then obviously if you have a
Speaker 1: lot of point getting during the summer, that means some
Speaker 1: big results, so you have a bit of a larger bankroll,
Speaker 1: then you can fire some of the bigger stuff down
Speaker 1: at WSP Paradise if you do want to chase the
Speaker 1: Doubasipy Player of the Year title. He won it back
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six. He won two breasts that year.
Speaker 1: Belief he still holds the title as the youngest POI winner,
Speaker 1: and he mentioned I was reading through the Poker News
Speaker 1: recap over on pokernews dot com. By the way I
Speaker 1: shouted them out the other day, or I said go
Speaker 1: give them five stars or whatever. My fault there, but
Speaker 1: also yeah, you might as well go give them some love,
Speaker 1: you know, because that's what that's where I got my
Speaker 1: podcast start at the old PM pod. But yeah, but
Speaker 1: Mattson talked about, you know, wanting to go for the
Speaker 1: Player of the Year title again, and he said, like
Speaker 1: he's very much going for it now that he got
Speaker 1: this win, he got that eleventh place in the in
Speaker 1: the five KPL, He's he's very much in the thick
Speaker 1: of things. You know. Again, I do think he's going
Speaker 1: to need a very, very big summer. Jeff is a
Speaker 1: guy to me. Yes, he can play the big bet stuff,
Speaker 1: he can play Nolan and hold him. But I think
Speaker 1: he's somebody who's probably gonna have his results come more
Speaker 1: from the mixed game variety of tournaments. But that said,
Speaker 1: I mean there there's a ton of tournament. There's a
Speaker 1: ton of tournaments, not the twenty twenty six wsop that
Speaker 1: that Madson is going to be getting into. So you know,
Speaker 1: let's let's uh, let's see how he goes Now. I
Speaker 1: say that he's gonna need a big, big summer in
Speaker 1: my opinion to be able to compete with someone like
Speaker 1: Sean Dee. But I also won't be surprised in the
Speaker 1: slightest if he's in the mix. Okay, so just just
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that you know, Jeff Madson gets
Speaker 1: bracelet number five. He said he wants to chase that
Speaker 1: player of the year titled get It Again. So so
Speaker 1: you know, don't be don't be shocked when when Jeff
Speaker 1: Madson's you know, fighting with Sean deeb, you know till
Speaker 1: the bitter end of the summer. Just quickly on Madson's
Speaker 1: other four bracelets, I mentioned the two that he won
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six. I mean, he was a
Speaker 1: freaking baby when when he won those bracelets. He won
Speaker 1: the two K Nolanan hold Him for six hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty K. He won the five K Nolman HoldEm six
Speaker 1: Max event for six hundred and forty K. So's that's
Speaker 1: almost one point three million dollars between those two scores there.
Speaker 1: Then there was a little bit of a gap. Twenty
Speaker 1: thirteen is when his next bracelet came and it was
Speaker 1: in potlom and Omaha three K buy in PLO. He
Speaker 1: won three hundred and eighty four thousand dollars and then
Speaker 1: two years later, in two thousand and fifteen, he won
Speaker 1: the three K PLO High Low for three hundred and
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars. So then another bit of a gap
Speaker 1: from twenty fifteen to now eleven years for when he
Speaker 1: won his fifth w Soobgle bracelet. Buck congratulations two, Jeff
Speaker 1: Matsy Niowa Kihara. He grabbed his second w soop gold bracelet. Now,
Speaker 1: if you want to talk about a gap in bracelets,
Speaker 1: this is a big gap in bracelets. His second bracelet.
Speaker 1: His first one was back in twenty twelve when he
Speaker 1: won the five K PLO six Max for five hundred
Speaker 1: and twelve thousand dollars. This summer, Kihara won the ten
Speaker 1: K Nolan MEDUSA seven Singles Off for four hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty eight thousand dollars. You know, he did talk again
Speaker 1: just just reading through the Poker News recaps. You know,
Speaker 1: these guys, by the way, Poker News have been doing
Speaker 1: some great recaps this summer. You know, I'm a soccer
Speaker 1: for a good recap. I'm a soccer for some good
Speaker 1: quotes in there. And we've gotten some good stuff from
Speaker 1: the Poker News peeps this summer, and Kihara was talking
Speaker 1: about how basically he almost he wanted to quit tournament poker.
Speaker 1: He was thinking about quitting tournament poker, you know, just
Speaker 1: hadn't had really the results. He's also someone to me,
Speaker 1: you know, over the years, like playing the twenty five
Speaker 1: K Fantasy League, he's always kind of been on my radar.
Speaker 1: But since he had that win back in twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, what kind of what happened? Because
Speaker 1: I remember when he kind of came around and he
Speaker 1: was kind of the hot new guy on the scene
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, okay, like he's he seems like he
Speaker 1: understands a lot of the different games. He's obviously out
Speaker 1: there blasting. He's doing well, like this is the guy now,
Speaker 1: right and for whatever reason, you know, I mean, variance
Speaker 1: is a bitch, I guess in tournament poker, but things
Speaker 1: didn't like totally work out for him in terms of winning,
Speaker 1: and that's ultimately what you're going to be measured by,
Speaker 1: and that's what people are going to remember you for.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, it took a while, but thankfully,
Speaker 1: at least for Kihara's sake, that he did give it
Speaker 1: one last go at it. He came out to the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty sixth dibicip and he's here winning his secondbsop
Speaker 1: goald Brace so that it comes with more than four under k.
Speaker 1: He said, he's going to be playing a lot of
Speaker 1: the bigger stuff now, and you know, while we're on him,
Speaker 1: he then goes and fires into the ten K Stud
Speaker 1: and he finishes day one with the chip Ley. So
Speaker 1: you know, the heater for Kihara is certainly real right now.
Speaker 1: And not only that, I mean, I might as well
Speaker 1: just stay on it for a second. But Kihara is
Speaker 1: in the final eleven of the ten K Stud Championship.
Speaker 1: They did bag with eleven players left, so they are
Speaker 1: entering day three. He is sitting six out of eleven.
Speaker 1: He's in the money right now for at least twenty
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars. There's more than three hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: up top. The eleven players are topped by the one
Speaker 1: and only the Grinder, Michael Mizeraki. I mean, this guy
Speaker 1: is absolutely freaking unreal with the way that he just
Speaker 1: seems to do things in tournaments. But yeah, Grinders on
Speaker 1: top of the ten K seven Card Stud Championship entering
Speaker 1: day three. Day three is on Sunday, got Chris Brewer
Speaker 1: and second James Chung, Ryan Miller, Jeremy Osmis, Jeremy Ols
Speaker 1: is back from an overseas trip to Japan. He did
Speaker 1: get his vlogger badge, so he is ready to go,
Speaker 1: and he is already in the final eleven of a
Speaker 1: tournament I mentioned Niowiki Aar was in sixth place. He is.
Speaker 1: Maxim piece Enko's in there. Alan Kessler megan a run
Speaker 1: this name, now this next name that I'm about to read.
Speaker 1: I walked through the field and I was like, hold on,
Speaker 1: this isn't a hold internal, What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1: Dan cepil Dan, I didn't know this guy knew how
Speaker 1: to spell stud let alone. Play it good. Old Danny
Speaker 1: boy out there. Brad Rubin is in there, and Jason
Speaker 1: Kluska as well. That rounds out the eleven players you had.
Speaker 1: David Odb Baker. I guess no podcast run good because
Speaker 1: he stone bubbled the event. And it was kind of
Speaker 1: a sick way in that there were two all ins.
Speaker 1: It was he was all in and Robert Miss Rocky
Speaker 1: was all in at the same table. Miss Rocky had
Speaker 1: ODB covered by one thousand chips, and you know, therefore
Speaker 1: he got the higher position and Odb stone bubbled it.
Speaker 1: But you know, as we know, king of the Heart rankings,
Speaker 1: mister Odb, he will be back firing again. In the
Speaker 1: next one, Frederick Normand won the fifteen hundred dollars PLO
Speaker 1: Hi Low for his first WSOP gold race. Atop the
Speaker 1: field of one thousand and ninety three entries, took home
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. I mentioned that
Speaker 1: we always see something, or I feel like we always
Speaker 1: see something once a summer, and what it is is
Speaker 1: that if somebody wins a tournament that they've never played before.
Speaker 1: Normand had never played a PLO high low tournament before
Speaker 1: this one. He had played a big O tournament, I believe,
Speaker 1: but that's a different game. This is PLO high low. Now.
Speaker 1: Norman is a very good PLO player, very very good.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking he's somebody who can just kind of
Speaker 1: figure it out on the fly. And obviously he figured
Speaker 1: it out because he won the damn tournament for two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. Second place in this
Speaker 1: one was Michael Rodriguez. Good Old Rods was looking for
Speaker 1: his second Tabyssopigo bracelet a little bit late though. You know,
Speaker 1: we drafted him a couple of years ago on twenty
Speaker 1: five K Fantasy, but he didn't work out that summer.
Speaker 1: But here he is finishing second with a nice little
Speaker 1: score and josh Aria took third place here. Believe he
Speaker 1: was going for bracelets number eight josh Ari, but ultimately denied.
Speaker 1: There the twenty five k high roller is down to six.
Speaker 1: You got Galen Hall, Kristin fox Enjoey Wiseman, Bawding, Setnick Zizka,
Speaker 1: and Ignacio Moron are among this or are the six
Speaker 1: players remaining more than one point seven seven million dollars
Speaker 1: up top. It's just freaking wild to see what Kristin
Speaker 1: Foxing continues to do over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: I mean she is I think she's one of my
Speaker 1: like top three to five favorite players now. It's just
Speaker 1: simply incredible. I also like that she's got a good personality,
Speaker 1: Like she's she's fun at the table, Like obviously she
Speaker 1: gets focused in the zone and locks in when when
Speaker 1: it calls for it. But you know, earlier on in tournaments,
Speaker 1: she's she's talking, she's laughing it up, you know, all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, which makes for a good entertaining player.
Speaker 1: And she certainly plays an entertaining style as well. Galen Hall,
Speaker 1: I mean this guy, he just shows up every summer,
Speaker 1: plays a couple of tournaments here and there, and like
Speaker 1: final tables one or two of them every freaking summer.
Speaker 1: With this guy, it's it really is incredible and it
Speaker 1: speaks to just the type of talent that that Galen
Speaker 1: Hall is and like how good of a poker mind
Speaker 1: he is because he's not grinding a full tournament circuit.
Speaker 1: I mean, like like if you just were to compare
Speaker 1: him to christ Vaxin for example, she's playing everything all
Speaker 1: the time, right, She's traveling to Triton, she's playing at
Speaker 1: the studio for the PGT events, She's going all the
Speaker 1: big buy and stuff. You know. Galen Hall like pops
Speaker 1: in here there and always just seems to crush. Like
Speaker 1: it's just wild. Joey Wiseman, great player, you know, just
Speaker 1: coming off his marriage, so I know there's baby run Good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's you know, a new marriage
Speaker 1: run good, but if not, he has it. Bout Ding.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy just always seems to freaking do
Speaker 1: it at the dibsip. Ever, since we all kind of
Speaker 1: got word, I would say from ren Linn, who bout
Speaker 1: ding is? You know, here he is and he's crushing
Speaker 1: I don't know, is that in exiska that well but
Speaker 1: a bit of a Dobissippi coming out party, I guess
Speaker 1: for him in terms of you know, at the at
Speaker 1: the main World Series of Poker. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: when you do it on a stage like this, you know,
Speaker 1: that's when it matters most. And he does have a
Speaker 1: WSFP gold bracelets. Yeah, he won a one K no
Speaker 1: limit event top the big old field of eighteen hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy three entries last year at the World Series
Speaker 1: of Poker. But you know what I'm getting at is
Speaker 1: when when you're in a twenty five k field like this,
Speaker 1: when you're up against the crushers, that this type of
Speaker 1: field brings out like that's when boom, You've made it.
Speaker 1: You know. I know a lot of people will say like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of anyone can win a one k
Speaker 1: or a fifteen hundred or whatever. I mean, it's not
Speaker 1: that anyone can, but you know, there's just a wide
Speaker 1: variety of people that win those. But when you're up
Speaker 1: there and you're crushing and performing well in ten k's,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five ks, even if you start going
Speaker 1: up to fifty k stuff like that. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: when like basically you become a maid man poker, and
Speaker 1: and Ziska here is obviously showing that that he has
Speaker 1: what it takes. Believe he was drafted in twenty five
Speaker 1: K Fantasy. Yes he was, so you know, another one
Speaker 1: who has the respect of his peers, you know, to
Speaker 1: go along with the fact that he is a successful players.
Speaker 1: Out of these players who have made the final six,
Speaker 1: here you have Kristin Foxen was drafted, Joey Wiseman was drafted,
Speaker 1: Zisko was drafted. As I just mentioned in the bow ding,
Speaker 1: it was the other one that was drafted, Galen Hall
Speaker 1: not drafted, and Ignacio Moron not drafted. Those players will
Speaker 1: be back on Sunday to finish it out. They are
Speaker 1: guaranteed a little bit over three hundred thousand dollars. Top
Speaker 1: two places are up in seven figures. It's one point
Speaker 1: seven million for first, one point one to eight for second,
Speaker 1: then a whole bunch of prize money up for grabs.
Speaker 1: My guess is my prediction is Kristin Foxen gets it done.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Kristen Foxen won, Joey Weisman two. That's
Speaker 1: what That's what I'm going with there switching things up.
Speaker 1: Now we are through the news, I want to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about my day the Monsters dec I mean,
Speaker 1: this thing is First of all, I've never played this
Speaker 1: Monsters Act before. I've always wanted to play it, as
Speaker 1: I've talked about, never really could carve out the time,
Speaker 1: was able to carve out the time. This year, I'm
Speaker 1: happy I got to play it. I mean, what a
Speaker 1: freaking tournament this thing is. This thing is awesome. Structure
Speaker 1: is great, other than the fact that they have that
Speaker 1: silly dinner break in there, But other than that, structure's good.
Speaker 1: You know, you get a ton of play in this one,
Speaker 1: and you start with fifty k chips, hour long levels,
Speaker 1: blind start out one two hundred. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: it's a nice, slow, player friendly structure. We'll have Day
Speaker 1: two d on Sunday, and I believe they would play
Speaker 1: into the money at some point on that day, and
Speaker 1: then anyone who advances would advance with the other players
Speaker 1: who advance. Every Day one had its own day too,
Speaker 1: so there's a bunch of people that advanced already, and
Speaker 1: then everyone combines on Day three on Monday. Hopefully I'm
Speaker 1: in there as well, but yeah, this is a great tournament.
Speaker 1: So you start with fifty k. As I mentioned, I
Speaker 1: was able to put two hundred and fifty eight thousand
Speaker 1: in the bag. Not my peak. I did get up
Speaker 1: over three hundred thousand, but took a couple hits. At
Speaker 1: the end of the night in the final level, there
Speaker 1: was a gentleman on my right who was just out
Speaker 1: of control. I'll I mean, I might as well just
Speaker 1: talk about it. So first of all, I'm in Normandy. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't know why they put you in Normandy, but that
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. We get moved from Normandy to Horseshoe. It
Speaker 1: took ten minutes to go from Normandy to Horseshoe. We
Speaker 1: left in the second to last level of the night
Speaker 1: when there was exactly two minutes on the clock. By
Speaker 1: time we got to the other room, there was fifty
Speaker 1: two minutes on the clock. Eighty people just walking like
Speaker 1: halfway down the strip. It's just that they got to
Speaker 1: do something better than that. But anyway, I get moved in,
Speaker 1: I sit down at this table. Mike Didntali's there, don't
Speaker 1: know anyone else. Got to my right, starts talking about
Speaker 1: I have this little figurine of a black dog looks
Speaker 1: like my dog, Duke, and he starts asking me about it.
Speaker 1: He says, he tells me that he wants a dog
Speaker 1: to retire somewhere like basically like on a barn somewhere,
Speaker 1: or on a farm somewhere, not a barn, on a
Speaker 1: farm somewhere with a barn, just so his dog can
Speaker 1: just run around. He doesn't have to put him on
Speaker 1: a leash or whatever. But then about two minutes later
Speaker 1: he tells someone else at the table because someone asked
Speaker 1: him what he does, and he tells someone that he
Speaker 1: is retired. So I couldn't quite understand that if he
Speaker 1: wanted to retire or if he is retired. Then he
Speaker 1: proceeded to straddle three times from the under the gum position.
Speaker 1: He played ninety percent of hands. He went from two
Speaker 1: hunder k to bag. I played with him for forty minutes.
Speaker 1: He went from two hunderd K to nine hundred and
Speaker 1: like fifteen thousand or something like one of the hottest
Speaker 1: runs I've ever seen. Like he would just call bets
Speaker 1: on flop and turn with bottom pair, drill the trips
Speaker 1: on a river. Somebody would have like top two pair,
Speaker 1: and he would get paid like it was just wild
Speaker 1: shit from this guy. He would limp some hands, he
Speaker 1: would four and five x some hands. He was never
Speaker 1: folding to raises, really never ever folding to flop bets
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, it was just an absolute wild
Speaker 1: spin up for this guy. And if that's at one
Speaker 1: point he also said he asked if he could bag
Speaker 1: and tag his chips so he could go home. He's like,
Speaker 1: I have enough right to bag in tag. Can I
Speaker 1: just bag and tag and leave. Everyone's like, no, you
Speaker 1: have to actually play out till the end of the night.
Speaker 1: So that's the monster stack. But a couple of the
Speaker 1: key hands that I played, I pulled, I pulled five hands.
Speaker 1: I'm doing the thing where I write every hand down
Speaker 1: I can review it later. The first two that I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you guys about two big folds. I
Speaker 1: guess maybe not that big one. I think was kind
Speaker 1: of big one was kind of standard. Maybe I even
Speaker 1: should have folded pre flop the first one. The cutoff
Speaker 1: opens to fourteen hundred. At three hundred six hundred, the
Speaker 1: button calls the small blind calls, I call him the
Speaker 1: big blind with pocket fives two black fives. The flop
Speaker 1: comes seven four three rainbow action checks around turn is
Speaker 1: a six, so I drill as straight small blind checks
Speaker 1: I bet fifteen hundred into what fifty six into like
Speaker 1: six thousand or so, like sixty four hundred or something
Speaker 1: very small cut off in the button both fold Small
Speaker 1: Wine calls River is the four of four of diamonds.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, that's a diamond, but River's a four pairs
Speaker 1: the board. Small blind just leads all in for fifteen thousand,
Speaker 1: two hundred over bets the pot, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: what is this? And I'm just like, yeah, he's like
Speaker 1: does he have a five here? Like that? I mean
Speaker 1: that's I mean, obviously he can have a five, right,
Speaker 1: but is he doing that with a five? I don't
Speaker 1: know this. This guy seemed pretty straightforward in the time
Speaker 1: that I was playing with him. I ultimately just folded
Speaker 1: my hand, you know. I was just like, he can
Speaker 1: have a lot of combos of full houses here. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's still a combo of there's the eight five that
Speaker 1: can beat me for a higher straight. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: just said, you know what, I don't think that these
Speaker 1: players are just gonna go blasting over bets all in
Speaker 1: for their tournament life without it was kind of my
Speaker 1: decision there. So yeah, yeah. Then there's a hand where
Speaker 1: a woman who was who was playing pretty aggressive and
Speaker 1: she seemed she was tough, like she was doing a
Speaker 1: lot of like tricky things that were throwing a lot
Speaker 1: of players off. I did win some chips off her,
Speaker 1: you know, just gotten some fortunate situations against her. But
Speaker 1: she opens his hand under the gun. They're playing or
Speaker 1: playing three and six, and again she makes it twelve
Speaker 1: hundred next to act one of the gump plus one
Speaker 1: makes it thirty five hundred. A guy who was pretty
Speaker 1: standard ABC would even say, probably a little bit too tight,
Speaker 1: so he three bets next to act. It folds to
Speaker 1: me in the cutoff, and I look down and I
Speaker 1: got two Jack's jack Ahart Jack of Spades, and I'm like, hmm,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're like pretty deep here, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're like, I think, well, the woman was
Speaker 1: a little bit shorter, but the gentleman who who three
Speaker 1: bet he had probably one hundred big blinds and and
Speaker 1: I covered him slightly. So I'm thinking, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't really want to just four bet
Speaker 1: this hand. I was like, I can probably just fold,
Speaker 1: but then I was thinking, you know what, I think
Speaker 1: I can just play a call and it's not the
Speaker 1: end of the world, because ultimately I think there's a
Speaker 1: highlighthood that everyone else behind me is going to get
Speaker 1: out of the way. There also might even be the
Speaker 1: possibility where she jams, being a little which shorter. She
Speaker 1: had like thirty big lines. He folds, and then I'll
Speaker 1: just call her jam with my jackson and end up.
Speaker 1: I called, and I called with the plan to proceed
Speaker 1: cautiously postflop. You know, even if I flop an overpair.
Speaker 1: Let's just you know, see how this one kind of develops.
Speaker 1: Woman calls from under the gun as well. It comes
Speaker 1: ten to seven, three, ten to seven of diamonds under
Speaker 1: the gun checks gentleman bets five K. I call, I
Speaker 1: have an overpayer. Can't just give it up just yet,
Speaker 1: you know, he can be He was also the type
Speaker 1: of player who I think would probably just even though
Speaker 1: he's out of position in a lot of spots, I
Speaker 1: think he would just bet hands like Ace King, for example.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I didn't really think he would have
Speaker 1: Ace Queen here. It's mostly Ace King, you know, And
Speaker 1: then probably a bunch of overpairs as well, so he
Speaker 1: bets five K. I call, she folds U turn is
Speaker 1: the five of diamonds, So diamonds do come in. He
Speaker 1: bets ten K. I just fold you pretty easy fold,
Speaker 1: I think there. So yeah, So those are two that
Speaker 1: I just lost kind of early on the big hand
Speaker 1: that really got my climb started is folds to me
Speaker 1: at five hundred, one thousand on the button, I make
Speaker 1: it twenty two hundred with queen Jack of clubs small
Speaker 1: blind believe he was from Argentina. Three bets to seventy
Speaker 1: five hundred, so I go two point two x. He
Speaker 1: goes seven point five X. He's about fifty four blinds deep.
Speaker 1: I think I cover. I call flop comes ten nine eight, bingo,
Speaker 1: just flop the nuts straight. He bets ten nine eight
Speaker 1: with two spades. He bets five thousand, and I just
Speaker 1: decided to raise right there. I mean, I think, you know,
Speaker 1: he's he can have a lot of hands that I
Speaker 1: think are just going to continue. I did see him
Speaker 1: three bets some ace wheel suited cards, you know, so
Speaker 1: he could have spades here and we just get it in.
Speaker 1: He could obviously have two overs in spades. He can
Speaker 1: have an overpair that I think he just overvalues. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to start putting money in here. I also,
Speaker 1: because of how wet the board was, I didn't want
Speaker 1: my action to get killed, Like if I call and
Speaker 1: let's say, like the turns seven for example, or you know,
Speaker 1: the turn is a queen or whatever it may be,
Speaker 1: and he kind of shuts down with his hand. I
Speaker 1: didn't want that to happen. And yeah, so I also
Speaker 1: wanted it to I put in a raise where I
Speaker 1: would you know, he had he had roughly forty five
Speaker 1: thousand going to the flop, so he bet five k.
Speaker 1: I was like, I can raise to an amount where
Speaker 1: maybe he thinks that he can put it in and
Speaker 1: get some folds out of me. I make it fourteen
Speaker 1: to five. He puts in forty five thousand. I obviously snapcall.
Speaker 1: He's had his ace a hard's ten of spades, so
Speaker 1: top pair with I guess backdoor spates. So it just
Speaker 1: bricks out and I win that one. That was a nice,
Speaker 1: healthy pot that really got me going. Then in the
Speaker 1: one fifteen hundred level, this was funny. So we get
Speaker 1: back from dinner, gentleman gets moved to my rights and
Speaker 1: he's like as soon as he sits down, he's just
Speaker 1: a fast talking guy. He's immediately telling us about he
Speaker 1: just lost some two hundred k pot. On the other table,
Speaker 1: he's showing the guy on the other side of him,
Speaker 1: he's directly to my right. He's showing the guy in
Speaker 1: the one seat whose name is Danny Pleasure, meeting you Danny.
Speaker 1: Like he's showing in the video of how he lost
Speaker 1: with his hand, and this is like this whole thing.
Speaker 1: He's going on and on on. So anyway, we go
Speaker 1: to dinner. We come back from dinner. There's eight players
Speaker 1: at the table, but only six of them are present.
Speaker 1: So on the first one, the first hand, the big
Speaker 1: blind is dead. That guy, the gentleman to my right, raises,
Speaker 1: everyone folds. The next hand, the big blind and the
Speaker 1: small blind are both dead. So there's four thousand of
Speaker 1: dead money in the middle. And I'm like, he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna just keep doing this, like he's gonna try
Speaker 1: and be table captain, even though he's only got like
Speaker 1: fifty thousand or so chips and I have, like, you know,
Speaker 1: triple that. I think he's just the type of player
Speaker 1: who's just gonna try and be the table captain and
Speaker 1: just attack the dead money here. So he raises from
Speaker 1: the lowjack. He makes it four K. I look down
Speaker 1: and see two red jacks, and I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is beautiful, this is so beautiful. I make it
Speaker 1: eleven K, folds back to him. He he spends about
Speaker 1: a minute and a half counting down his chip stack
Speaker 1: over and over again. And I'm like, okay, like you
Speaker 1: just are you gonna put it all in? Like let's
Speaker 1: go all righty. I didn't say that, but in my head,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, what are we doing? He ends up
Speaker 1: just calling, So he just calls he's got about forty
Speaker 1: five thousand. Behind the flop comes Queen ten, six queen clubs,
Speaker 1: ten of clubs, six of spades. Remember I have red jacks,
Speaker 1: he checks. I go very small, thirty five hundred. He calls,
Speaker 1: turn is the five of clubs. So club jaw does
Speaker 1: get completed? He checks, I checked behind river is the
Speaker 1: queen of diamonds, the pair of the board. He jams
Speaker 1: all in for I think forty three thousand, five hundred.
Speaker 1: I pretty much snapped call. I'm not full. I probably
Speaker 1: wasn't folding a lot of rivers to this guy, I
Speaker 1: just I had kind of made up my mind. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe this is wrong, but I kind of made up
Speaker 1: my mind. This guy's just gonna blast off. So as
Speaker 1: long as the river, I felt was a pretty good
Speaker 1: one for me, and I thought pairing the Queen here
Speaker 1: was a pretty good card for me, all things considered.
Speaker 1: So I quickly call. He says, you got it. He
Speaker 1: had eight o'club seven of diamonds eight high. So I
Speaker 1: won that one. He was gone, and we're off and running.
Speaker 1: Then I won one more big one in the Normandy
Speaker 1: room before we moved over to the horseshoe. The cut off.
Speaker 1: My guy Danny believe he's from heard him say l Paso, Texas,
Speaker 1: very active player. He opens to the thirty five hundred,
Speaker 1: same level oney fifteen hundred. I call him the small wine
Speaker 1: with two threes. Big Blind calls it comes Jack ten
Speaker 1: three bingo rainbow as well. I checked, Big Blind checks
Speaker 1: cut off. That's five thousand. I call big mine folds
Speaker 1: turn six clubs, does bring in a second club? I checked,
Speaker 1: cut off goes eighteen thousand. I debated raising here, but
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I just want to make sure that,
Speaker 1: like I keep all his bluffs in like I don't
Speaker 1: want to fold you know, if he's just blasting off,
Speaker 1: like I don't want to fold him out. So I'm
Speaker 1: just fine to just continue to slow play here. Also,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, him and I had kind of
Speaker 1: been battling, so you know, I thought he might like
Speaker 1: he could also be betting for value here and I
Speaker 1: just have that smashed, and I think he might try
Speaker 1: and go for some thinner value against me, and just
Speaker 1: like barrel off three streets, so I call rivers of
Speaker 1: the eight of spades, so you know, queen nine gets there,
Speaker 1: nine seven gets there, like if you have a come
Speaker 1: of like nine seven clubs, for example, I check he
Speaker 1: bets thirty three thousand, I just call. He ends up
Speaker 1: having jack ten off. So if I raise turn, I
Speaker 1: probably get all the money. I mean we had, we
Speaker 1: both had piles of chips, and yeah, maybe I left
Speaker 1: some money on the table there, but you know, allultimately,
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. Like the way he was thinking
Speaker 1: on the river too, I honestly thought he was going
Speaker 1: to go all in for like one point five x pot.
Speaker 1: I'm not folding. I'm just kind of you know, sy calling,
Speaker 1: And if you just decided to backdoor and then yolo
Speaker 1: and go for all of it. Then so be it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was my day overall. After I won
Speaker 1: that hand, I started to just kind of play a
Speaker 1: lot of pots over and over again. Did pretty well,
Speaker 1: won a couple all ins against some shorter stacks. Awesome
Speaker 1: against some shorter stacks. Just is what it is. Got
Speaker 1: up over three hundred thousand, bag two under in fifty
Speaker 1: eight thousand, come back to twenty five hundred big blind
Speaker 1: so I'll have a little bit over one hundred big
Speaker 1: blinds to work with. This tournament's simply incredible, absolutely incredible,
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to it. Day two d is
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and hopefully I continue can continue to make
Speaker 1: a run in this thing. The other events that kicked
Speaker 1: off on Saturday, you had the twenty five K high
Speaker 1: Roller six Max, Nick Shulman bagging the day one chip lead.
Speaker 1: Nick Shulman finished eighteenth in the twenty five K high
Speaker 1: Roller for sixty four thousand. Then he hops in the
Speaker 1: twenty five K six Max he bags the day one chipley.
Speaker 1: So Nick Shulman off to a nice start. We talked
Speaker 1: about him many days ago when he finished second in
Speaker 1: the fifteen hundred dollars, do give it. Nick Shulman is
Speaker 1: another guy. If he stays hot like this and he
Speaker 1: can keep kind of stringing together these runs, he's another
Speaker 1: person who you can see him contending for Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. And then you had the fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: big oh kicking off. They'll have Day two on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Day one early on, of course, had more than two
Speaker 1: thousand entries on Day one, but no need to get
Speaker 1: into that right now. We can get into that one
Speaker 1: as it goes, as that tournament gets deeper. But that's it.
Speaker 1: That's the pod. Do you got to give a shout out?
Speaker 1: Two two guys that I met, One was Justin. Justin
Speaker 1: came up to me. He was playing the monster stack.
Speaker 1: I hope you bagged, sir. If you didn't, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but I hope you did. And then Ryan as well
Speaker 1: also bagged, taking I think one hundred and sixty k
Speaker 1: into day two. D also said he's playing the main
Speaker 1: for the first time this year, so let's freaking go, buddy,
Speaker 1: Let's make it happen. But a lot of fun being
Speaker 1: out there playing. Absolutely love it. The World Series is
Speaker 1: it's it's the best tournament series in the world hands down.
