34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,479
Day four came into today or yesterday, I should say,

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,159
with the thirteen hundred and eighty nine players remaining, thirteen

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,240
hundred and eighty two made the money, so seven people

37
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,840
had to bust before we got into the money for

38
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,159
the twenty twenty sixth to visit p main event. They

39
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:31,240
did not start play hand for hand. I thought they

40
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,439
would have, you know, I thought after what happened last year.

41
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280
I believe we came back last year, maybe twelve people

42
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:42,960
off the money around there, you know, close but not

43
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,280
close enough that it was just gonna snap bust. But

44
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:48,400
still there was a lot of There was a lot

45
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:49,840
of tanking, there was a lot of stalling. There's a

46
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,319
lot of people yelling at each other about about the

47
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:56,599
whole situation. At one point, my table got the whole

48
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,680
the clock got put on the entire table because of

49
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,120
a couple of players. It was a whole big shnanigans

50
00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:03,439
going on. So I thought, you know, coming off of that,

51
00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:05,840
they would have just started hand for hand this year,

52
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:09,199
I mean just just skipped through all that sort of stuff,

53
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,120
so they didn't start doing hand for hand play and

54
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,599
right off the bat, you know, I thought that that

55
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:17,039
was interesting, right because it felt a little too close

56
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,639
to comfort, like you might be flying a little bit

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,800
too close to the sun here. They I believe each

58
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:28,759
table played one, maybe two hands before tournament director got

59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,520
on the loud speaker and said, okay, you know, all

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,879
the dealers stopped dealing. Once you deal the current hand

61
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:36,759
that you're on and that hand is complete, stand up,

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,879
do the whole thing that That obviously signals that they

63
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,080
are going to then go into hand for hand. So

64
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,520
thirteen hundred and eighty nine players returned. I look up

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,599
the clock. You know, there's thirteen eighty five that it

66
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:50,680
ticks down to thirteen eighty four. I'm like, oh, they're

67
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,599
getting They're getting pretty close here. And you know, so

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,719
you know, a bunch of tables start finishing up. You know,

69
00:03:57,759 --> 00:03:59,599
one by one, all the tables are finishing up. Players

70
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:02,280
are obvio standing up, stretching out. They all know what's coming.

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,680
One of those players, Sean Deep, he had a he

72
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:09,039
had a big stack to close out Day three. So

73
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,840
and I talked with him on that last episode, and

74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,960
here I am. I wanted to catch up with them

75
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,479
at the beginning. I basically I wanted to ask Sean,

76
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,600
you know, he's played a bazillion tournament. I wanted to say,

77
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:19,639
you know, what do you think about them not not

78
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,879
starting in hand for hand play? And he had had

79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,360
an interesting take on it. So let's just play that

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,519
now to kind of kick things off here before we

81
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,240
start getting into more of the money bubble. I have

82
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120
one question for you, Sean Deep, are you surprised to

83
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,199
not start hand for hand?

84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I knew that they would do this and

85
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,000
we got a few bust outs. It's just hand for

86
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,079
hand is so slow, you know, for years. I've been

87
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,680
talking the World series, suggesting around for round, and I

88
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,879
think that solves so many issues these big bubbles. It

89
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,360
makes a better player experience, the money gets split up.

90
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,959
Speaker 4: You know, it's just.

91
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:51,959
Speaker 2: Way better overall.

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: So hopefully you know, they decided to make some changes

93
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,759
that will be a much better customer experience. And we

94
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,399
don sit around for twenty minutes every hand because with

95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,360
no shot clocks, there's gonna be hands to take twenty

96
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,519
minutes on the bubble. And you know it's one hundred

97
00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:09,000
and fifty plus tables in play. It only takes one

98
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,360
and everyone's waiting fifteen minutes.

99
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:12,319
Speaker 1: So well, let me let me push back for one

100
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:15,879
second this specific event. Don't you want that spectacle of

101
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,079
the money? I mean maybe you don't as a player,

102
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,279
but the poker world they can.

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,319
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's the I'm the words person, Like, I

104
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:25,720
don't listen. I know that you're all business. You're like,

105
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:26,120
let's go.

106
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

107
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: I mean, like I almost considered playing the PLO last

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,160
night because I knew that the hand for handled be

109
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:31,600
so slow.

110
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:33,639
Speaker 4: I might just go play over there. But I also

111
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:34,480
know it's me a big.

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: Sack, so I couldn't miss the free hands over here,

113
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,920
so I'm gonna win. You know, ninety percent of hands

114
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:41,199
dealt So yeah, it's just it's a bad experience. I

115
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:43,800
think it messed up everyone's schedule. If we sit around

116
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,720
doing nothing, it's we're here to gamble. Why why make

117
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,920
us sit here and wait? It's like, you know, it's

118
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,399
a fucking natural rain delay of these poker tournaments, and

119
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:57,199
it shows fucking reval. Like it's just a waste of time.

120
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,240
There's something the camerackers have to go to every table.

121
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:01,480
It's just the craft swarms.

122
00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: And guys signing autographs here. I mean, you know, the

123
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,639
whole the whole thing. Yeah, I mean, there's nothing else

124
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:05,920
to do.

125
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,519
Speaker 4: Really, you know, I'm just sitting here. It's one of

126
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,720
my thumbs, right, and call my wife and FaceTime her,

127
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:12,199
you know, chatting to family.

128
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: I usually can't talk to any tournament. This is the

129
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:15,759
time where than can be shit to do, so I

130
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,560
might as well keep the kids happy.

131
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: So that was Sean deep and uh interesting that he

132
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,560
doesn't necessarily care about the hand for hand stuff, the

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,839
money bubble, all that sort of stuff. I mean, just

134
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,000
very workmanlike for Sean. He wants to just get there.

135
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,560
He wants to play the voker, he wants to move

136
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,920
on with things. I do have to disagree with him,

137
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,000
you know, I would say that, you know, ninety nine

138
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,079
point nine percent of tournaments out there do all that

139
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,920
other sort of stuff. Get through it, let's move on

140
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:48,160
with our day. But the one tournament in the world

141
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,399
that deserves the spectacle, and honestly it deserves it deserves

142
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:55,800
a spectacle to be made even more of a spectacle

143
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,839
than it is, right, just just crank that thing up

144
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,759
with the craziness, the spectacle, the lights, the cameras, all

145
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,360
of that sort of entertainment. Like, let's do it for

146
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:11,160
the WSP Maine event. You know this is I mean,

147
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,639
it's up there. I don't know exactly where it ranks,

148
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:16,480
and I'm not going to sit here and do some

149
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,519
sort of list on the fly. But as the coolest

150
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:24,279
day in poker for the entire calendar year, right, Like

151
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,920
it's so cool to be around, you know, in the room,

152
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:35,560
for the atmosphere, for the tension, for the excitement, you know,

153
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:38,639
all that sort of stuff. You have people abusing the bubble,

154
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,079
trying to get chips. You got people's dreams getting absolutely

155
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,240
freaking shattered. You have the pressure of people who are

156
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,399
moving all in whether they're called or not. You know,

157
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:51,439
you have the crazy swings of if you're actually all

158
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:53,079
in and you do get called, you you just have

159
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:57,560
all these emotions, everything just just going on in one room.

160
00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:00,560
You know, there are thousands of people in. Yes, you

161
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:04,360
have the thirteen hundred and you know eighty something players

162
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:07,839
that are in the tournament, but there are hundreds of

163
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:10,959
fans around as well, Like this is the day when

164
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,920
you know you play this tournament. Okay, fine, but you know,

165
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:15,560
let's say you come to town. You come down to

166
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,680
town with a bunch of your buddies, or you come

167
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,519
to the town with your wife or your girlfriend or

168
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:21,480
whatever it may be, and you know you're gonna play

169
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:25,040
this event. Well, they don't come down on day one,

170
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,240
or day two, or heck, they don't even come down

171
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:28,879
on day three. You know, it's just checking in on

172
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560
text messages, whatever the heck the thing is. But when

173
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,399
it's Money Bubble day, people are in the room, and

174
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,960
then of course you have dozens of media members running around.

175
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: Production gets beefed up a little bit more.

176
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: You know, Jack Effel's there and today, for the first

177
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,759
time ever, Jack Effel was wearing a camera on his chest,

178
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,080
similar to like what you guys might see on the

179
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,159
referees in the World Cup. So it's just it's awesome.

180
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,240
It's madness, but it's incredible, it's brilliant. I absolutely love it.

181
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,240
So so yeah, so each table played one to two

182
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:03,360
hands that they announced that they're going to go to

183
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,279
hand for hand play. So let's start getting in to

184
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:10,480
the Bubble episode and go straight to the floor where

185
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:12,399
I was out there. I know remc rinkium On, my

186
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,840
colleague was out there as well, and we got we

187
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:16,919
got a lot of different audio that we're going to

188
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,200
play here, So let's just get right into it, all.

189
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:25,759
Speaker 2: Right, everyone, We are here on the Bubble, day four

190
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,399
of the World Series of Poker Main events.

191
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: So they started the day with thirteen hundred and eighty

192
00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:35,720
nine in the players remaining thirteen hundred and eighty two cash,

193
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:38,080
so seven spots off the money. They did not start

194
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,919
hand for hand, so immediately in the first few minutes here,

195
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:44,879
the clock starts at one hundred and twenty minutes.

196
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,759
Speaker 2: Due to two hour levels, the clock has paused.

197
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,399
Speaker 1: Right now at one hundred and eleven minutes and forty

198
00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:51,759
six seconds so less than ten minutes in they did

199
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:55,960
announce play this hand and stop. But the clock reads

200
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,200
that thirteen hundred and eighty five players left, so we've

201
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,759
already lost four players. And honestly, there's a chance that

202
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,720
this bubble bursts right now anti climactically, I mean, without

203
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,320
really the big bubble spectacle that you get in the

204
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,200
World Series of Poker main events. And I mean, it's

205
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,440
just it's very interesting to have it done this way.

206
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,399
I can't recall it happening like this. I am surprised

207
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:25,759
that they didn't just start hand for hand from the

208
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:28,000
start of play today, but I do also understand that

209
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
that does take a while.

210
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,279
Speaker 2: Yes, but you know, we'll see how this goes. Okay,

211
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,159
So they wrapped up the few first bunch of hands.

212
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,279
Speaker 1: When the clock was paused, they asked all tables to

213
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,000
please finish dealing the hand that they were on. I

214
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,840
just talked about how the clock said that they were

215
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:50,519
three off when the tournament director got back on the

216
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,200
mic to announce hand for hand play, telling all the

217
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,000
dealers to sit down.

218
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:55,799
Speaker 2: They are moving to hand for hand play. They are

219
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,039
one off the money.

220
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,159
Speaker 1: Thirteen and eighty three players remain thirteen and eighty two

221
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,759
spots will cash during this first hand of hand for

222
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,879
hand play, we do have a few different all ins happening.

223
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,120
One of them is up here on the cluster of

224
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:19,799
the main stage. I'm standing right up here. Looks like

225
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:26,120
a player Timundo Matsumoto is all in and there is

226
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:28,480
a call, So this one's definitely going to be run.

227
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:30,960
I know. There are a few other ones that I'm

228
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,440
hearing from the production team that are taking place out

229
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,559
on the rest of the floor. Everyone is running around,

230
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,120
Various camera crews are getting set up try and film

231
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:48,159
the action. Definitely increased level of production this year, just

232
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,120
in terms of the volume of resources that are out

233
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,000
here on the floor.

234
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,639
Speaker 5: There are.

235
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,639
Speaker 1: Three JIB cameras in play. There's multiple MG crews running

236
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,320
around that.

237
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,159
Speaker 4: Would help us out. We're going to have a hard

238
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:05,600
time checking as well. This would help us out. Please mainment.

239
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 6: Players, remain in your seat.

240
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,919
Speaker 1: Players being instructed to remain in their seats. They do

241
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:17,399
ask the dealers that once they are done, to stand

242
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,600
up so they can get an eye on if hands

243
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,320
are completed, but players are requested to sit down. Of course,

244
00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:28,440
fewer people standing allows the tournament directors to be.

245
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: Able to see the dealers.

246
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: They should also put that functionality on the app. I'm

247
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,519
telling you, you just press hand done on your app

248
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:37,840
that all goes through to the tablet that all the

249
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:40,559
tds have. There's maybe a master tablet that one of

250
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,519
them sitting at a desk behind, and that you know,

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,399
that would make this a little bit more efficient. Yes,

252
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:46,159
you can do the whole stand up thing too, but

253
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:47,919
let's use that technology.

254
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,639
Speaker 2: Of course.

255
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:51,399
Speaker 1: It's kind of special right this moment for everyone to

256
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:52,919
have a chance to cash the main.

257
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I'm currently down about seventy K in

258
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,840
the man, so I'll try to get some of that today.

259
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 4: We'll say, is this your first time deep in the main?

260
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:03,159
Speaker 7: I've cashed once in twenty twenty one, but I've played

261
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:07,039
it about eight times and I've only been cashed once,

262
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,879
So yeah, I've been This tournament's insane.

263
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:11,399
Speaker 2: I was down to like thirty k.

264
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,879
Speaker 7: You can just always have like twenty bigs and like

265
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,480
it's incredible. You just have you can really take your time.

266
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,639
It's a it's a lot. I mean, I'm already feeling

267
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:22,879
the fatigue. I feel like this is gonna be uh

268
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,440
fun if you go really deep. But I'm glad that

269
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,320
doing the August wait till you play the biggest spot

270
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,200
of your life and give you like a two weeks off.

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: Kind of thing.

272
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 5: It's exciting.

273
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 7: If I make it, that would be cool.

274
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: Quick quick question for Chino as a as a main

275
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:39,639
event veteran, after this bubble bursts, what's gonna happen?

276
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,399
Speaker 8: Chips are gonna fly, people are gonna go nuts.

277
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,639
Speaker 9: That's normally what happens.

278
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 10: Like the short sects are just gonna go for it,

279
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,440
and the big secs are gonna now be able to

280
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,000
do it at ease with ease.

281
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: Are you gonna sit back and watch the fireworks? Are

282
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,480
you gonna get in there? It all depends, you know.

283
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:56,799
Speaker 9: I can't. I don't know that.

284
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:58,799
Speaker 10: All depends on in the moment.

285
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 9: Can't never answer that yet.

286
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 4: What have the swings been in the main event so far?

287
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,279
Speaker 5: For me?

288
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,039
Speaker 10: Basically steady, just full fullfold and then I got a

289
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,320
nice little rush last level of the Night of the

290
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:13,120
Future table and to be above average. But basically I

291
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:18,480
just folded a lot, a lot to get here. Then yeah,

292
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,960
now we're here. Patience patience, Patience takes patience in the

293
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:22,639
main event.

294
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: Greg, what was the bubble, like four for the money.

295
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:27,279
Speaker 11: Yeah.

296
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,919
Speaker 9: I don't even remember how long it lasted.

297
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 12: All I remember is that like a guy on the

298
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,799
next table got knocked out and they didn't do this

299
00:14:34,879 --> 00:14:37,919
thing now where they like make you pause. So he

300
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,720
gets knocked out and the look on his face was

301
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:43,240
like someone had phoned him and said, like your wife

302
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,639
and children are dead, you know, like there was a

303
00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:46,320
car crash.

304
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 9: That was his level of anguish.

305
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 12: It was so intense. And then they were like, wait,

306
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:55,919
there's a hand on the feature table and that guy busted.

307
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,919
Speaker 9: You both get five thousand now. We looked like we're sorry,

308
00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,039
We're sorry, Like that was a different John Smith. That

309
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:05,200
wasn't your wife. Amazing he was that.

310
00:15:06,799 --> 00:15:09,639
Speaker 12: And then they announced we're giving you each five thousand more.

311
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Now it was like, not only is your wife alive,

312
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:13,879
she bought the winning powerball ticket.

313
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,279
Speaker 9: I mean, it was unbelievable to see his face. It

314
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:18,960
was amazing.

315
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,759
Speaker 4: How big was that for you to get to the

316
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:21,600
money back to him?

317
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:25,279
Speaker 12: I was like, if not the biggest stack, one of

318
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:28,200
the top four or five. So I was thinking about

319
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,120
abusing the bubble, not making the name. I had never

320
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:33,240
made the money in the main event before but I

321
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,120
was past that point and.

322
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: This year, what's the story so far?

323
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 12: I mean, I've had a lot of tough hands. I've

324
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,000
had a couple of very lucky hands, and uh, you know,

325
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:48,440
I'm just trying to make the best decision. That's it, Like,

326
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:49,919
what's the best possible decision?

327
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: Right now?

328
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 4: Take me back to your first main events. How did

329
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:55,080
you decide to play? When was it? How did it go?

330
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 13: My first main event, I got twenty third place, so

331
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,399
it was pretty good. I had like no money to

332
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,320
my name and had a quarter million after and had

333
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,159
a chance to win eight million, so it was good.

334
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 14: Yeah.

335
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 15: I don't remember the bubble really, I know, with like thirty.

336
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 13: Five people left, I was chip leading and then I

337
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,679
got twenty third, so so it was kind of it was,

338
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:22,159
you know, very good, but disappointing at the same time.

339
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,120
So been trying to replicate that run since and hopefully

340
00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:27,720
this is the year.

341
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,679
Speaker 1: Does the gorilla really come out once the bubble has burst.

342
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,279
Speaker 13: He's always in there, you know, in this tournament sometimes

343
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:37,120
you gotta put him away.

344
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 5: It's a marathon, so.

345
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,799
Speaker 13: You know, just trying to play each hand the best

346
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,759
I can and whatever happens happens.

347
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: Josh, are good to see you, get to see you.

348
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,440
You are here for some poy points, for a deep run.

349
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:52,080
What are we doing?

350
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,399
Speaker 16: I'm here for ten million fucking dollars. That's right, that's

351
00:16:57,039 --> 00:16:59,960
number one on the list. Never played another anti poker

352
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,240
after that.

353
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: This is the retirement tour.

354
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,839
Speaker 16: This is this is this is my retirement plan.

355
00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 4: How much does experience help in the main.

356
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 16: I think a lot, just because this is what I

357
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:19,440
do every day and there's you know, people that aren't

358
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,039
going to be as comfortable, so I I mean I

359
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:24,720
have an edge against the guy that doesn't, that flies

360
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,319
out and play one event for sure, and it's no secret.

361
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,519
I mean I think that they would say the same thing.

362
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,279
Speaker 4: Having been in many big spots in your life, even

363
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,519
just this summer. At what point does the avrenalin come.

364
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 5: In for you?

365
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 16: When I wake up in the morning, when it never leaves.

366
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,160
I I'm a junkie, like I live this shit. I

367
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:51,160
absolutely fucking love it. I love competing. I love staring

368
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,480
a guy down and just knowing that he's given his

369
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:58,000
best and in his biggest moment and no one thinking

370
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,079
that I'm able just to stay, you know, and when

371
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,640
when it gets hot and there's a fire. You know,

372
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,720
I'm just right there in my olement.

373
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,519
Speaker 4: This man is going to set some more stuff on fire.

374
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:09,960
Just watch.

375
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:12,319
Speaker 9: It's just money here in a minute.

376
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: So you guys heard from well myself there on the floor.

377
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,759
You heard from Rock Wilson, China, Reem, Greg Ramer, Jesse

378
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:30,799
Lonis was out there, Josh Aria as well.

379
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 6: You know.

380
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:34,279
Speaker 1: So a lot of players that that REMCO was able

381
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:36,680
to catch up with get some different thoughts on things.

382
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,000
Some people are straight up chilling. Some people I feel

383
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:41,720
like you can kind of hear it in their voices,

384
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:43,480
like this is a big spot. You know, this is

385
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:44,759
a this is an important thing.

386
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: And listen.

387
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: I know somebody like a Sean Deep for example, like

388
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,759
he's just extremely nonchalant about this whole thing. But I

389
00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:55,400
don't know, it's still effing cool to get into the

390
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,400
money for the WSOP man. And I don't care who

391
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,359
you are. You know, maybe maybe there might be five

392
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,920
or six people and poker where it doesn't matter and

393
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,480
they don't they don't feel how cool it actually is.

394
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,599
But for everyone else out there, like this is the moment,

395
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,039
everyone's just kind of mulling around, you know, waiting for

396
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:12,920
them to officially kick off hand for hand and then

397
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,559
they do you know, the room gets down or back

398
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:20,200
into plane, I should say, and they play the first

399
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,559
hand that lasts for however long it lasts, and there

400
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,160
are four all in in calls on that first hand.

401
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,079
So what they do, as you guys know, is they

402
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,799
basically run around from table to table. They run it

403
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,279
all in out. They do ask that players when they

404
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:39,680
get all in and there is a call, all hands

405
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,839
remain face down. Nothing gets revealed, so there's no like

406
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,240
information that's getting out around the room, like, oh my gosh,

407
00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:47,119
this guy right here, he's drawing dead. So if everyone

408
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,160
just folds, we're all going to get into the money.

409
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,559
Like you don't want that stuff to get out there.

410
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,079
So they they run four all in and calls, and uh,

411
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,440
we'll just get into that right now. I was, I

412
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,319
was kind of far away from all of them and

413
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,880
just listened in on the loudspeaker. You know, Jack Effel

414
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,799
runs around from table to table. Uh, production is right

415
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:10,119
behind him filming the whole thing. Media is, you know,

416
00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:14,799
stampeding behind him as well. They they surround the table

417
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,839
with with with it, you know, the cameras, the microphones

418
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,119
just all of it, right, But jackets on the microphone.

419
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,240
He calls the action, so you can hear everything in

420
00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:25,200
the room and I kind of talk it through. You

421
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,240
know what's going on. So let's get into now that

422
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,000
this first batch of all in hands again, there were

423
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:32,599
four all in in calls on this first hand of

424
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,680
hand for him play all right, So right now there

425
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,200
are four all in in calls that were just announced

426
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:42,519
by Jack Effel. He is going to be running around

427
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:44,279
to the different tables.

428
00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: He will be announcing the action. I'll try and send it.

429
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: Through to you guys here as well as I hear

430
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,359
it in the room.

431
00:20:51,559 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 17: Okay, an, let's see five pocket thieves all right?

432
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: Firsthand Kings versus Queens.

433
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 15: Seven phase Head of Diamonds, nine of space King's no good,

434
00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:20,920
Ace of Clouds, no help. Let's see the river River

435
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,279
was the sphase two Kings that were going to double one.

436
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,759
Speaker 1: So on the first all in and call that was run,

437
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,799
pocket Kings doubled up through pocket Queens. So we are

438
00:21:31,839 --> 00:21:36,000
now down to three all in and calls again. We

439
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:39,200
are one off the money here in the twenty twenty

440
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:44,759
sixth obissop, the main event, Jack and the team are

441
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,279
heading over to the next table. I can see it's

442
00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:49,599
on the complete opposite side of the room from where

443
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,079
I am.

444
00:21:50,759 --> 00:21:56,519
Speaker 17: Okay and be all over here seat number six and

445
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,599
we are versus seat number nine.

446
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 15: That were hands all on the show first, he's got.

447
00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:08,759
Speaker 18: Pocket games versus pocket eights, pocket.

448
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 15: Gains and wrists but even the league but six flop.

449
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 17: Oh si mart seven of marks kind of spain none

450
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,759
in our age could be very understandable.

451
00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:19,839
Speaker 6: The two things are.

452
00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:20,279
Speaker 15: Still a hand.

453
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Let's say the charge Kings versus eights player with the

454
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,720
eights is the covering stack.

455
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: He flopped the gutter.

456
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 9: Can no help for the ads.

457
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,799
Speaker 15: River was a Queen Kings.

458
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:38,599
Speaker 2: Up again, King's doubling up again. In the Dobissophie main event.

459
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,799
Speaker 1: We are now down to two all in in calls

460
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,759
to try and burst this bubble on this first hand

461
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:47,960
of hand for hand play. So on the first one,

462
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:50,759
the first run out, Kings versus Queen's Kings got the double.

463
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:54,480
There Kings versus Eights flop came ten to seven to six,

464
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,000
but the King's held to get another double. And we

465
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,519
are moving on and it looks like they are.

466
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: Going to where are we heading?

467
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:08,839
Speaker 1: There's a whole giant group of people running down the hallway.

468
00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:12,599
I see Jeff Platt, I see multiple camera crews, I

469
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,319
see Jack Effel, all the media members. I mean, what

470
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,240
an absolute spectacle this is. You just love to see it,

471
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:20,839
you really do.

472
00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: They might be coming up.

473
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: Here to the cluster for this all in new call

474
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:26,440
that we have on the cluster.

475
00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: All right, they are coming up here. I'm gonna back

476
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:30,559
out of the way.

477
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: I used to like to get right in there, you know,

478
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,200
just just cram myself in with all the other sixty

479
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,640
people that are trying to cramer on one poker table.

480
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: That's got three feet of space.

481
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:43,519
Speaker 1: Around it as a moat, but not anymore, you know.

482
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,279
I'll watch from afar. I'll listen on the on the

483
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:57,119
loudspeaker to hear them call the auction. Okay, And this

484
00:23:57,279 --> 00:24:00,960
was the player that I just told you about.

485
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 15: Let's him did the parts versus Queen of Parts Jack.

486
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: Also all Ace eight is all in against Queen Jack.

487
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,839
Speaker 1: An this one feels like it.

488
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: It's the one the pace had good on the flop,

489
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,440
got a straight trout.

490
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: Now for the Queen Jack on the turn, let's river

491
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:42,599
River car it.

492
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 15: Makes are.

493
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: All right? So Ace eight makes it straight and he

494
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:54,200
just needed to hold, and he did hold.

495
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,519
Speaker 2: So Ace eight doubles up there, and we.

496
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: Are going to one more all in and call a

497
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,119
fourth and final all in and call of this hand

498
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,680
of hand for handling. I kind of want this to

499
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:06,720
keep going on. Guys, come on, don't burst the bubble yet.

500
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:09,839
Let's have let's have like four hands. You know, I

501
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:11,839
don't want a two to three hour bubble, but you

502
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,119
know we can deal with forty minutes or so.

503
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: Have some fun with it. Man, it would be a

504
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,440
sixth sweat.

505
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,839
Speaker 1: To be to be the last player all in when

506
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,400
you know the other three have already doubled up. That

507
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,640
would be a wild feeling sitting there at the table

508
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,119
you hear the first one boom, because because you know,

509
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,000
when you go last, and you got these other use

510
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:35,759
that are all on and calls ahead of you. If

511
00:25:35,759 --> 00:25:38,440
somebody busts, great, you're you're free. Wrong, right, you know

512
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,839
you're gonna split them in cash or whatever they're gonna

513
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,799
do the the flip or whatever they.

514
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: Do for the seat for next year.

515
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,079
Speaker 1: You know, I mean they never announced that, but I'm

516
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:48,920
assuming they're gonna do it again. Now you're the last one.

517
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,359
You're four out of four and everyone else doubled up.

518
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:52,799
Speaker 2: Here we go.

519
00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:56,279
Speaker 1: It seems like some bad navigation. They went from the

520
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:58,519
opposite side of the room to this side of the room.

521
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: And then back to the opposite side of.

522
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 6: The room versus s what's up over here? All right?

523
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 15: We had a board ten to stuff A SPAN's.

524
00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:07,599
Speaker 8: Not a heart.

525
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 11: Art.

526
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: This is all on the river.

527
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 15: Type. I've got three tins over there.

528
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 6: And three tens looks like that's the best hands.

529
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:23,519
Speaker 15: Of her nines and would double up here there will

530
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:24,680
be no elimination.

531
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: So it was announced that three tens are gonna double

532
00:26:28,279 --> 00:26:31,680
up versus a pair of nines. That was sounded like

533
00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:33,200
it was all in and call on the river. Maybe

534
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,880
there was another player on the hand before that. I

535
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,680
don't know exactly, but they got there on the end,

536
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,599
So all four all on calls on this first hae

537
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,680
hand for hand play resulted in double ups one hand.

538
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: We are back one more hand with hand for hand

539
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:50,920
to play.

540
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: I got a guy over here with a bottle of

541
00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:56,400
Maker's mark on the table and a corona.

542
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: Mean, this gentleman is incredible. All right, it's time for.

543
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:07,039
Speaker 1: The rundown for the second hand of hand for hand

544
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,640
play here on the main event bubble at the World

545
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,240
Series of Poker six all in and calls six hands.

546
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:15,319
We got to run through, so we got six shots

547
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:17,240
at bursting this bubble.

548
00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: Let's see if they can do it.

549
00:27:20,519 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: They are running over to the So everyone is in

550
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,000
the main Paris ballroom today, and to help accommodate the

551
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,440
size of this feeling and get everyone into one room,

552
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,440
they have tables in the cash came section and that

553
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:32,279
is where we are going.

554
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 8: First, Jack just.

555
00:27:45,359 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: Calling out his dealers. First, Okay, ace king suited versus

556
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,000
pocket fives.

557
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 2: All in player has ace.

558
00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:25,279
Speaker 1: King fives, maintain their lead on the flop, go river cord,

559
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:32,400
all right, so the ace king, the ace king gets

560
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:40,960
eliminated there. So we have a bust out on the

561
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,640
first hand of the second hand.

562
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:49,279
Speaker 2: So everyone in here, he's getting into the money. Well

563
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:50,519
maybe not everyone, but.

564
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,359
Speaker 1: We are running over to the second hand. Now, maybe

565
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,200
we'll just go six for six six bust.

566
00:28:59,079 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: Outs, I mean, why not?

567
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 19: Right sitting secondhand here?

568
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:21,079
Speaker 1: Okay, all up player has aces up against Queen ten.

569
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:35,759
All right, all right, that one bricks out, so the

570
00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:40,000
aces are going to double up there. Moving to the

571
00:29:40,039 --> 00:29:49,440
next table, so we are two hands done one elimination.

572
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:54,400
Moving over to the third hand, we got six hands

573
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:54,960
to get there.

574
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 18: Okay, first, all.

575
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:28,319
Speaker 1: Right, full house on board in this hand. Chris Moneymaker

576
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,319
is the losing player on this hand. Here there was

577
00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:36,720
a full house on board, but the covering player had

578
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,799
pocket aces to make a better full house and bust.

579
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:52,119
Speaker 2: Chris Moneymaker. Jeez, Jack just rubbing it in.

580
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: Goes from world champion to bubble boy.

581
00:30:56,359 --> 00:31:16,119
Speaker 2: All right, fourth hand here.

582
00:31:06,759 --> 00:31:07,759
Speaker 15: You've got a pair of four?

583
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,799
Speaker 5: Can you be.

584
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 7: You?

585
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,359
Speaker 15: Okay? Where could we be?

586
00:31:17,799 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 9: Alright, let's.

587
00:31:22,759 --> 00:31:24,799
Speaker 15: Kings on the river?

588
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:29,319
Speaker 5: All right?

589
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: Double up on that table.

590
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: Couldn't really hear what the heck was going on, something

591
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,279
about kings and four's pair of fours. I don't really

592
00:31:35,319 --> 00:31:38,319
know what was happening on that one, But we double

593
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,200
up is all we need. Moving over to the fifth hand,

594
00:31:42,079 --> 00:31:43,640
I think the place that you're able to be the

595
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,400
most free is on the feature tables during the bubble.

596
00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: I'm just looking around at these feature tables up here.

597
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: The all in player here has abandoned his hand and

598
00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:54,680
is not at the table to.

599
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,079
Speaker 2: Turn it over. What what is going on?

600
00:31:59,640 --> 00:31:59,839
Speaker 5: Jack?

601
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,279
Speaker 2: I was on the mic saying the player abandoned his hand.

602
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,400
What's happening.

603
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: I think they're still trying to look for this player.

604
00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:10,359
Jack did mention that he's going to try and look

605
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,000
around the room and maybe see if he can get

606
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,039
this player to come back.

607
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:22,559
Speaker 2: But the hand is not revealed.

608
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 15: He does he.

609
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 6: Count.

610
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:34,039
Speaker 1: Oh, they're gonna have to count this one down. So

611
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:35,880
there's a player with king ten who made a pair

612
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,839
of kings. There's a player with pocket nines. But the

613
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:40,519
player with the pocket nines left an abandoned his hand.

614
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:44,880
So now they're now they're counted down the stacks to

615
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:52,319
verify who's got more chips here? Okay, all right, well

616
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,319
I guess they're going to the other table.

617
00:32:54,079 --> 00:33:04,839
Speaker 6: Now nine, okay, all versus three's right?

618
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:08,559
Speaker 2: All right, so let's get the last all on a call.

619
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 19: Here we have five space fIF.

620
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 14: O' clocks, acy diamonds, three diamonds, ten of clubs.

621
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,079
Speaker 15: Then I can't see the champions here. He's got three sixes.

622
00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:21,799
Speaker 5: And he has a pair of pass three six.

623
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 15: Best hand he hasn't covered at last even corrects. Do

624
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,039
you have an elimination here?

625
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: Ooh?

626
00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: Elimination there? Trip six is trip sixes elimination.

627
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 6: Eliminations that he which means with one off hunting that.

628
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 15: Two places who shot three different players.

629
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 6: We will play off more into.

630
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,359
Speaker 15: The supermainer ten. All right, so we will be all

631
00:33:49,759 --> 00:33:53,000
three of those players for come ballom on every day.

632
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,279
Speaker 14: So you can do this playoff, determine who he ask

633
00:33:56,359 --> 00:34:00,160
for Baba Bay will be, and then you guys can

634
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,200
shots each one fifteen thousand each.

635
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 19: All right.

636
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,759
Speaker 1: So they're going to an empty table right now, three eliminations.

637
00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:10,119
They're gonna do this playoff, this flip whatever they do,

638
00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:14,239
and they're gonna award one player with a twenty five

639
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,679
K seat to the WSP Paradise Super Main Event, and

640
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,679
then the other two players are going to chop the

641
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:22,159
in the money prize here.

642
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: So that's how this one's working out, or they're gonna

643
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,239
get in some money. I don't I don't really know.

00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: There Three of the six hands resulted in eliminations. One

666
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,880
was Chris Moneymaker, another one was Stoyan Manziev, and then

667
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:45,960
the third player to bus was Jakin said Betkov, I

668
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:49,079
probably butchered that name, and I'm sorry. Madonziev had Ace

669
00:35:49,199 --> 00:35:52,039
King of Hearts up against Gregory Brown's fives. The fives held,

670
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,400
they were all on pre ran off the board, no

671
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:57,920
Aser King, no hearts, no nothing for Madonziev, and he's out.

672
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,639
And then with money Maker, there was a lot of

673
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:04,159
action leading to the river on a board that contained

674
00:36:04,199 --> 00:36:08,679
a full house that had eight seven seven seven eight

675
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,920
on the board. Antonio Vargas jammed on the river. Moneymaker

676
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:17,079
called with Jack nine playing the board, but Vargas had

677
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,679
aces so Moneymaker was eliminated, and then set Betkov moved

678
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:23,639
all in on the river.

679
00:36:24,199 --> 00:36:25,199
Speaker 5: I believe he bet.

680
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: Multiple streets here if I remember correctly. On ace six, five, three, ten,

681
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,000
move was on on the river. Dan sta Villa called

682
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:36,559
with a set of sixes. Sep Betkov had ace nine,

683
00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:40,400
so he was eliminated. So those three players, Madonziev, Moneymaker

684
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,000
and Sep Betkov all got eliminated. So because there were

685
00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:47,119
three eliminations and we were only one spot off the money,

686
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,320
the three players got to chop the first two payouts,

687
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,119
so fifteen thousand dollars each, as I said, that's thirty

688
00:36:53,159 --> 00:36:56,280
thousand dollars. They get ten thousand dollars each, so they

689
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,360
break even. Then they do this flip for a twenty

690
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,599
five thousand dollar our seat into the WSP Paradise Super

691
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:05,920
Main Event, and said Betkov wins that. I mean, I

692
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,800
don't know too much about him, but I do know

693
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,519
Chris Moneymaker won the main event once I do know,

694
00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:14,599
Soyaan Madanzi have won the online WSP main event for

695
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:17,199
almost four million dollars. So I feel like, said Bekov

696
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,360
should be the one winning winning this flip at the

697
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,039
end of the day, So as always fun on the bubble.

698
00:37:24,199 --> 00:37:26,159
You know, it's great to be in that room. If

699
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
if you're a fan and you kind of pick some

700
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:32,199
days to come out to watch stuff at the World

701
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,679
Series of Poker, I would I would try and time

702
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,559
it around the ws P main event money bubble as

703
00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:40,239
one of those.

704
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: Days to look at.

705
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: Of course, you know the best days to come out

706
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,679
as a fanily just come out for the final table,

707
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,199
watch the final table, right, but secondary to that, it's

708
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,480
probably the bubble day. You know, being in there, it's

709
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:54,840
just really cool, it really is. So yeah, the money

710
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,119
bubble that never disappoints.

711
00:37:56,159 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 15: It really doesn't.

712
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: From there obviously, the bubble bursts and the eliminations, they

713
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:05,440
come in fast and furious. The payouts to start were

714
00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:09,119
fifteen thousand dollars or one and a half times you're buying.

715
00:38:09,559 --> 00:38:14,039
In that first payout bracket, you had Isaac Barron, Kristin Fox,

716
00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:16,320
and Chris Vich, Kathy Leeber. Those are just some of

717
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,639
the names that I know busted for fifteen thousand dollars.

718
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,480
After that, everyone got a pay jump of twenty five

719
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:26,360
hundred dollars up to seventeen thousand and five hundred, and

720
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,639
then in that bracket, you had Mike Leah Stevenson, Chris Mormon,

721
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,719
and Anton Winfield. Anton Winfield Senior a football cornerback. Believe

722
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,760
he played for the Bills, the Vikings. Yeah, maybe maybe

723
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,960
one other team, but they were all in the mix

724
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:45,480
cashing for seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars. Then you had

725
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:49,719
the twenty thousand dollars payout bracket. Jesse Lonis, Chris Brewer,

726
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,280
Alex Livingston, Dimitar Danch have all cash there. And that

727
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:56,000
twenty thousand bracket or at least those four players that

728
00:38:56,079 --> 00:39:00,639
I named all finished better than one thousand in place.

729
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,719
So now we're getting down to you know, fewer than

730
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,440
one thousand players left in the twenty twenty six is

731
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,519
a p Maine event. Pay jump is another twenty five

732
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,920
hundred dollars up to twenty two thy five hundred. Joey Cooden,

733
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,280
Jeremy Osmas, Joe Hasham had a deep run for the

734
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,800
hash and Michael Rocco all finish in that group there,

735
00:39:22,039 --> 00:39:24,880
and then the next jump was to twenty five k.

736
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,360
You had Renlinn Farrah Galfon, Alan Lee and another former champ,

737
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,599
Scott Blumstein. Scot Blumstein got six hundred and seventy first

738
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:36,400
place for twenty five K. So when it was all

739
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,079
said and done, when Day four was done and dusted,

740
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,320
five hundred and thirty three players remained. Now I do

741
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:48,039
have a little bit of a gripe here. I'm kind

742
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:51,719
of a little bit confused on who the chip leader

743
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,000
is going in today.

744
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:54,639
Speaker 5: Five.

745
00:39:55,639 --> 00:39:57,679
Speaker 1: I look on Poker News and I see a gentleman

746
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:03,559
named Sam Swellum Swileom, probably butchering his last name. I'm sorry, Sam,

747
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:08,000
I they have him up on top. If I look

748
00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:13,199
in the WSP app, they have Archer Marturosian up on top.

749
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:18,519
I'm gonna guess that thesp app is correct, but I'm

750
00:40:18,559 --> 00:40:24,239
also not completely sure. So it's either one of these two.

751
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,039
I'm guessing unless somebody else somehow gets some chips. My

752
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:34,639
gripe is that there never seems to be any like

753
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,559
news coverage or promotion coming from WSP when these days end,

754
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,239
Like it's it's two hours now since the day ended,

755
00:40:43,559 --> 00:40:47,360
since I left Paris, Like why aren't there all the

756
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,119
chip counts pushed down on social media? You know, graphics,

757
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:56,199
photos in email blasts like all that sort of stuff everywhere? Right, Like,

758
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,800
let's I mean, this is Poker super Bowl, Like, let's

759
00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:02,119
let's get the word out, like, you know, like I mean, heck,

760
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,679
like we should be going like we should be going nuts.

761
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,239
We should be in the back, you know, slamming the

762
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,400
buttons for morse code to to to let the other

763
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,320
countries know out there that you know, this is this

764
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,760
is a coming. Day five is a coming, Like, let's

765
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,440
get rocking and rolling. So yeah, I think, I mean,

766
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,599
I would like for that to be done a little

767
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:21,760
bit better. I just feel like I'm flying blind here

768
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,280
and here I am guessing because I have Poker News,

769
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,639
as you know, they're the only live reporting outlet, and

770
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,159
they've got one guy on top. The WSB app has

771
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:36,039
another person on top. So I'm confused with the chip leader,

772
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:37,840
which I want to talk about. But then also that

773
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,360
leads me to question, what are the are the other

774
00:41:41,519 --> 00:41:43,719
chip counts right or all the payouts that I just read, right,

775
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,920
you know, I'm just I'm confused. So we all know

776
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,039
about Archer march ROSI right, So I don't I don't

777
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:50,960
think we really need to touch on him too much.

778
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,639
I will say that he got a lot of his

779
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,800
chips at the end of the evening or towards the

780
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,400
end of the evening on day four when he won

781
00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:02,639
a big hot with ace as a gentleman, either four

782
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,159
or five that ripped in like seventy big blinds with

783
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,559
pocket tens, and march Rosian is just sitting there with

784
00:42:07,639 --> 00:42:11,880
the freaking birds calls aces hold, and that is that.

785
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,480
We obviously know how good Arterur Martirosian is. He won

786
00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:20,800
another bracelet earlier this summer, but for Sam Swilom, he's

787
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,719
out of Lutz, Florida. He's only got one hundred and

788
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,840
thirty eight thousand dollars in earnings according to the Hendon Mob.

789
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,880
And of that one hundred and thirty eight, one hundred

790
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,480
and nine thousand was from his best live score, so

791
00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:34,679
the large majority of it is from one score and

792
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,760
that was in It's very interesting if you look through

793
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,360
his results, he's this is only his seventh live tournament cash. Again,

794
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,880
this is all according to hendonmob dot com. And he's

795
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,880
got one previous WSP cash in the fifteen hundred dollars

796
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,960
Closer in twenty nineteen. None of his other events are

797
00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:54,000
like they're all like fifteen hundred, eleven hundred, smaller buying stuff,

798
00:42:54,039 --> 00:42:56,880
but this largest cash isn't a fifty k super high

799
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,440
roller down at seminole, So I don't know if he

800
00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:02,360
was just ripping off the biggest shot of his life.

801
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,760
I don't know if he was, you know, want a

802
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,519
satellite or something like that. You know, but that's that's

803
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:11,800
pretty crazy and notable. He won a big pot off

804
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,840
Chris Brewer. He made a full house and won a

805
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,280
big pot there. And then he also busted a player

806
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,119
when he made a flush to win another big pot.

807
00:43:20,159 --> 00:43:21,719
You know, those are kind of the two notable ones

808
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,440
that I saw through some of the coverage that allowed

809
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,639
Sam to build and I'll say a top three stack.

810
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,880
I think that that one's safe. I think that that

811
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,000
one's safe. We also got danceda Villa and far Reed

812
00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:38,559
Johnton with quite a lot of chips. Believe they both

813
00:43:38,639 --> 00:43:41,199
have just a little bit over three million. Now, those two.

814
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,480
I want to mention those two specifically because if things

815
00:43:46,599 --> 00:43:49,360
go like I think they can go, as it relates

816
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,599
to Dance to Villa and Faried Johnton, get ready for

817
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,440
some very creative, some very entertaining poker that is coming

818
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:02,280
from these two. They are fun, They are a bit

819
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,480
unorthodox at times, both of them are willing to get

820
00:44:05,559 --> 00:44:09,760
after it, especially when they have a lot of chips

821
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,280
and they're able to leverage their stack against other players

822
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,039
in the field. So if these two start to get featured,

823
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:17,039
they start to show up on some feature tables and

824
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:20,559
that sort of stuff like that, it's gonna be some fun,

825
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,079
you know, especially with Furrey John, Like that guy is

826
00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:27,960
as agro as they come, and it's awesome to see.

827
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,519
And when he is locked in, and he is locked

828
00:44:29,519 --> 00:44:31,599
in every break, he goes up onto the side of

829
00:44:31,639 --> 00:44:34,440
the stage and he just sits way over by himself.

830
00:44:34,639 --> 00:44:37,960
No one's around, He's just got his eyes closed. He

831
00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:40,800
sits there, he just does some meditating. Then he gets

832
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,159
out of that meditation and that breath work, he does

833
00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:45,400
a little bit of stretching and he goes back over.

834
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,000
He sits down and he just plays. He doesn't talk much,

835
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,920
he doesn't give off much. He's like a freaking robot

836
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,199
out there. But he's an absolute stone cold killer. Is

837
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,960
free John. Other players still in the mix. We got

838
00:44:58,079 --> 00:45:02,360
hosting ensign the twenty nineteen champ is still doing it.

839
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,599
Brock Wilson. Brock Wilson hasn't had the best summer for

840
00:45:05,679 --> 00:45:08,320
as hot as he was at the beginning of the year.

841
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,559
He won the poker Rol Cup, he won the US

842
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:13,679
Poker Open. He was crushing this year, but the summer

843
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,760
hasn't been too kind to brock Wilson. But of course

844
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,320
that can all change when it comes to the biggest

845
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,519
tournament of them all, the World Series of Poker Maneament.

846
00:45:23,559 --> 00:45:25,920
Sasha Lou made it through, Daniel Hasham made it through.

847
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,360
His dad didn't make it through. We mentioned how Joe

848
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,519
Hashim busted, but Daniel Hasham is looking to carry the torch.

849
00:45:32,639 --> 00:45:37,840
Michael Rosito is still in Caitlyn Kameski, Matt Salzburg, Alex Foxen,

850
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:43,400
Sean Winter, Masado Yokosawa, Sean Deeb. Just quickly Foxen and Deeb.

851
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,280
Both of them are I think Foxen's leading and Deep

852
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,760
might be third or fourth in the wsitby Player of

853
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,679
the Year race. They're both aware of each other and

854
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,159
it's just great to see them go ahead to head

855
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,320
in this event, which is you know, the main event

856
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,320
is going to have so oh many points up for

857
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,880
grabs as it relates to the Player of the Year

858
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,000
and these two and they are aware of each other

859
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:08,559
and what they have to do. They have similar chip stacks,

860
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:11,199
which adds to the story. Like it's just cool to

861
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,880
see this battle and the I mean, these two are

862
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,480
They're incredible players first of all, so just having them

863
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:18,800
go deep in the WSP Made Event is a great

864
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,920
treat for all of us fans. With the added element

865
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,400
that they are battling for the WASP Player of the

866
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,119
Year title, that's just super cool.

867
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: We got TJ.

868
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: Reid out there, Brianyu and Sam Chardier. Dylan Smith is

869
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,079
still going, Tony Dunst still in. Will Gibbons Dutch Boyd

870
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,719
is in the mix. Ryan lang Sala de Carlos de

871
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,599
Carlo got second in the monster Stack, I believe for

872
00:46:43,559 --> 00:46:45,840
nine hundred K. So he's you know, he's already had

873
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,119
a successful summer. Now he's looking to make it even

874
00:46:48,159 --> 00:46:51,360
more successful with a deeper run in the WSP Man Event.

875
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,360
Michael mcrocky still alive, was doing the damn thing for

876
00:46:55,599 --> 00:46:57,679
much of the day up on the feature table.

877
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 2: Didn't bag you.

878
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: Know, at peak, but he's still in and he's the grinder.

879
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,840
He can absolutely spin it up at any given moment.

880
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:09,320
Patrick Leonard is still in. Greg Ramer, another former champion

881
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,440
of this event is still in and then we got

882
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,559
Marcel Luise, the Flying Dutchman, still in the damn field.

883
00:47:15,639 --> 00:47:18,039
Of course, there are hundreds of other players still in

884
00:47:18,159 --> 00:47:21,440
the mix, but that's just a handful of the players

885
00:47:21,519 --> 00:47:24,079
when I browsed through the chip counts that I grabbed

886
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,559
to shout out here. I mean, it's just the event

887
00:47:27,679 --> 00:47:31,760
is awesome. It's it's absolutely incredible. The crowds are starting

888
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:36,360
to build inside Paris. You can feel the tension with

889
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,079
almost every half hour, every hour, definitely every level that

890
00:47:40,199 --> 00:47:43,719
goes by, just building building building. The way that the

891
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,440
Paris Ballroom is set up, they are almost all in

892
00:47:46,639 --> 00:47:49,960
kind of the front section now, which has is all

893
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:52,519
kind of the roped off area that leads right up

894
00:47:52,559 --> 00:47:55,440
to the stage. I think there's still a few tables

895
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,840
that need to be out in kind of the outer

896
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,760
section as I'll call it, but there might be let's

897
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,320
say anywhere from five to ten tables there. Those will

898
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,719
break relatively early on on day five on Friday, and

899
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,039
then once that happened, and you're once that happens and

900
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:12,000
you're a little bit closer to the stage. I mean,

901
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:14,400
that's like, in a way, that's kind of like a

902
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,320
moment that's like a new checkpoint in a way. And

903
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,960
then once they have these these outer sections right around

904
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:23,159
the w CB countdown stage, once those get all done

905
00:48:23,199 --> 00:48:25,840
and everything is up on the cluster and like actually

906
00:48:26,039 --> 00:48:30,519
on the physical stage, that's like, I mean, I'm getting

907
00:48:30,519 --> 00:48:32,719
I'm getting some some freaking goosebumps, and you know, the

908
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,719
hair is standing up on my arms just just thinking

909
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,519
about that, right, Just thinking about how close people are

910
00:48:37,599 --> 00:48:41,320
going to be to then ultimately getting to the final table,

911
00:48:41,519 --> 00:48:44,400
getting to the winner circle. So that's just freaking great.

912
00:48:44,679 --> 00:48:47,039
Throughout the day, I wanted to talk to a couple

913
00:48:47,079 --> 00:48:51,360
of people. One of them was Will Gibbons. You know,

914
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,679
I've talked about Will Gibvens' story a couple of times

915
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,719
now on this podcast. How this is his first time

916
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,719
back at the World Series of Booker after he was

917
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,920
banned from Caesar's Properties for a few years. So I

918
00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:05,920
just wanted to talk to him about exactly that and

919
00:49:06,039 --> 00:49:08,840
also how his event is going. And Will was kind

920
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,480
enough to give me a few minutes of his time.

921
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:13,400
So this interview happened right on the dinner break, so

922
00:49:13,519 --> 00:49:16,320
there was still a couple of levels to play. Afterwards.

923
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,000
Will did go on to bag chips. I think he

924
00:49:19,039 --> 00:49:21,920
bagged around one million or one point one million heading

925
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,920
into into day five. But here is Will Givens, just

926
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,239
talking about being back at the World Series of Poker

927
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,599
after some time away. All right, everyone, I'm here with

928
00:49:31,679 --> 00:49:34,400
Will Givens going into dinner break. First of all, your

929
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,920
stack is looking quite great. How many chips you got

930
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:37,239
over there?

931
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,159
Speaker 5: We have two point four? Two point four?

932
00:49:39,519 --> 00:49:41,559
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is this is what you do.

933
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 14: Right.

934
00:49:42,119 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 2: How's the day been going for you?

935
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:47,599
Speaker 5: It's been smooth, you know, I believe it or not.

936
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,639
Speaker 20: I didn't really beep it much at the bubble, didn't

937
00:49:51,639 --> 00:49:52,519
really have any hands.

938
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 5: I'm not forcing anything. That's my younger days.

939
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 20: So everything's just been smooth, you know what I mean,

940
00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:00,920
just playing as you know, taking as it come. And

941
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,920
she's been smooth selling who came in with one point five?

942
00:50:05,599 --> 00:50:07,920
Now we got two point four at five tens, so

943
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:08,440
we're all right.

944
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: So you're someone who I've always wondered over the last

945
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,320
couple of years. You know, where is Will Givens when

946
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:14,679
it comes to the Little Series of Poker. It just

947
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,079
so happens that you then show up at one of

948
00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:18,880
my tables earlier. Yeah, and you were telling the story

949
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,079
to some of the people how you had been banned

950
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:23,239
from Caesar's properties for something that happened in the pit.

951
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,519
Speaker 2: I mean, what happened and how did you get back in?

952
00:50:25,639 --> 00:50:27,199
Because we hear about people that could band all the

953
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,440
time and then they never get back in. But you're

954
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:30,360
here now, Okay.

955
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,039
Speaker 5: Well, first off, shout out to my lawyer.

956
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 20: She's amazing. Little she might she might charge you, but

957
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,440
it's worth it. But uh so, Yeah, man, I had

958
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,280
a crazy night with some friends. I bagged chip lead

959
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,039
at the wind playing I think it was a seventeen hundred?

960
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,559
Did I end up gambling at the wind? Four am

961
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,679
rolls around. I walk over to where I was getting

962
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,320
contact because I was seven star at the time at Harris,

963
00:50:57,199 --> 00:51:00,519
I walk in had no intentions on playing bacarat, but

964
00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:03,159
the board was talking to me. Back back then, I

965
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:04,719
used to play a lot of back and a lot

966
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,320
of crabs like I mean that literally it was if

967
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,199
it wasn't poker, it's them too. And I sit down,

968
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,800
I'm buy him for about five thousand, and I'm cooking.

969
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,320
I'm cooking, and this lady next to me, Asian lady.

970
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,079
She's beat in the opposite of me, so she's getting roasted.

971
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,800
So now she's sitting there with her arms crossed, and

972
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,320
I go to bed three thousand and uh. She starts

973
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,000
tapping on the felt money, money, money, money, and I

974
00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:32,199
don't know what that means. So I'm like looking at

975
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,440
my stacks, I'm like, this is my money, that's your money.

976
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,639
And then her and the dealer kept talking and she

977
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,719
doesn't be English or speaking man during to each other,

978
00:51:40,159 --> 00:51:41,880
and I'm asking the dealer what is she saying? And

979
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,280
the dealer won't even translate, which is weird.

980
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,679
Speaker 5: And so then I get up. I go to the

981
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:47,280
pit balls and.

982
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 20: I'm like, sir, you got a lady here to say money, money, money, nfelt.

983
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,960
I have a three thousand dollars bet going on. It's frozen.

984
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:58,559
Can you please, like you know, figure this out. And

985
00:51:59,559 --> 00:52:01,599
he starts talking to her a little bit, and then

986
00:52:01,639 --> 00:52:03,880
I said, can you just go to security? I requested,

987
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:06,360
please just go to security so we can just move forward.

988
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:09,920
Now this is crazy. I sit there and wait two hours,

989
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,480
six on in the morning, security come down. They whisper

990
00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:16,719
in her ear. She starts crying, so obviously she speaks English,

991
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,880
and because he doesn't speak mendering, and I acted, sir.

992
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:20,679
Speaker 5: I said what happened?

993
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 20: And he said, you took six black chips house in

994
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,239
between us, in between us, and I said, there's no

995
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,239
way I did that, but here you go. I handed

996
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,559
a six hundred. If I did that, I'm sorry. He

997
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,119
asked me to stand up. He acted for my player card.

998
00:52:36,159 --> 00:52:39,039
I give him my card and then he proceeds to

999
00:52:39,119 --> 00:52:43,480
tell me that I'm benned for stealing. I'm like, no way, sir.

1000
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,760
I requested you to come down. I sat here for

1001
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,639
two hours. I got a day two tomorrow and it's

1002
00:52:47,679 --> 00:52:50,679
almost seven in the morning. What kind of thief is

1003
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,639
doing this? And I even pointed at the cameras and

1004
00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:55,440
told him what I do for a living. And I

1005
00:52:55,559 --> 00:52:56,840
go to my bag and I pull out money and

1006
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,679
I'm like, bro, like, look at what I'm betting, Like

1007
00:52:58,719 --> 00:52:59,360
make it makes sense.

1008
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,559
Speaker 5: And he looks in my eyes.

1009
00:53:00,559 --> 00:53:05,519
Speaker 20: It was really offensive. He goes, there's stupid thiefs. So

1010
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:07,280
he's called me dumb, and he's called me a thief.

1011
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 2: I checked I did.

1012
00:53:10,199 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 20: When you lose it, it sucks, man, because being a

1013
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,440
black man in America, you deal with things that people

1014
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,039
really don't know about, and there's my dad dealt with it.

1015
00:53:20,159 --> 00:53:22,320
My dad did seventeen years in prison. And there's so

1016
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,159
many men that's in prison just innocent, and I'm getting

1017
00:53:25,159 --> 00:53:28,199
accused of stealing and I never stole, never attended to steal.

1018
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 5: I snapped, gave her the money.

1019
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 20: I did everything that I could as a customer, and

1020
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,400
I'm telling this man and then they've proceeded and I

1021
00:53:34,519 --> 00:53:37,960
was staying there and they're like, well, you got to leave,

1022
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,119
and I'm like, well, I have a room here and

1023
00:53:39,159 --> 00:53:41,159
I can't check into another room. It's seven something in

1024
00:53:41,199 --> 00:53:42,679
the morning. They're like, well you can stay here. You

1025
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,159
can't come back to you can see the floor.

1026
00:53:44,199 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 5: But you can stay here and there tomorrow.

1027
00:53:46,119 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 20: So when I woke with the next morning, it was

1028
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,440
like I got a day two that I'm supposed to

1029
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,599
be excited about, But I'm like, did I just have

1030
00:53:52,679 --> 00:53:53,159
a nightmare?

1031
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 5: Was that real life? And the man four years later and.

1032
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 1: Then you said you got a hold of a lawyer

1033
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:00,960
and it took it's only a couple of weeks or

1034
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,239
a few weeks to get back in.

1035
00:54:02,599 --> 00:54:04,199
Speaker 2: How did that process go about?

1036
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,519
Speaker 20: I contact a lawyer, told them my situation, got the details.

1037
00:54:08,639 --> 00:54:10,119
Speaker 5: They did what they did. I stayed back.

1038
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,519
Speaker 2: They wait, why so long before you got a lawyer?

1039
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:13,039
Speaker 14: Was it?

1040
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:15,039
Speaker 2: Well, you just didn't know about that process.

1041
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 5: You want to know exactly what happened.

1042
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 2: Of course, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for

1043
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:19,639
the app.

1044
00:54:20,199 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I was sitting in the letters, sending a letter,

1045
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:23,559
sending the letters.

1046
00:54:23,599 --> 00:54:26,079
Speaker 20: I always deny, deny, deny it. Then I live in Texas,

1047
00:54:26,159 --> 00:54:30,559
now Dallas. They had a WSOP circuit in Austin. I

1048
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,960
finally got a hold of this app, and I saw

1049
00:54:33,039 --> 00:54:33,719
how smooth it was.

1050
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:34,519
Speaker 5: See last year.

1051
00:54:34,599 --> 00:54:39,079
Speaker 20: I realized the playing field outside of the WOP changed

1052
00:54:39,159 --> 00:54:41,440
dramatically last year, but I couldn't figure out why.

1053
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 5: See, I didn't mind it because back in.

1054
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 20: The day, with the lines and all the hassle and

1055
00:54:45,519 --> 00:54:47,119
the dealers and all that, I said, you know what,

1056
00:54:47,639 --> 00:54:49,440
this is paradise. I'm playing out the win and I'm

1057
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,159
playing at ario. I'm playing everything else and people come

1058
00:54:52,199 --> 00:54:54,400
out and I still have just not as big fields,

1059
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,079
but I can still make money. So I was okay

1060
00:54:56,119 --> 00:54:57,880
with it, but I wanted to get in. But once

1061
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,440
the app came in, lock holded everybody. So now the

1062
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,280
fields out there is like all the years and everything.

1063
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,400
So once I actually used that app, I said, I

1064
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,440
gotta get a lawyer. So I did some investigating, I

1065
00:55:08,519 --> 00:55:11,199
did some research and took about the man.

1066
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 5: Thank you God.

1067
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 2: Three weeks boom, you're back here this summer.

1068
00:55:15,119 --> 00:55:16,679
Speaker 1: You've had a couple of results already, you had a

1069
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,519
final table, you had another deep run I think the

1070
00:55:18,599 --> 00:55:20,840
million maker, and here you're sitting on a huge stack

1071
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:21,400
in the main event.

1072
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess, could you have asked for a

1073
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:24,320
better return?

1074
00:55:25,159 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 18: Bro?

1075
00:55:25,679 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 20: Someone said, why would you drop that kind of money

1076
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,519
on the lawyer or whatever? There's no value to be

1077
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,239
competing against the best and something that you love. I

1078
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,719
couldn't put a price on it. So yes, it was

1079
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,480
a great return. And I'm just happy that I'm mentally

1080
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:44,920
where I'm at now to where Also, I'm grateful every

1081
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,599
time I stepped foot in this building. Everything happens for

1082
00:55:47,679 --> 00:55:51,239
a reason. So yeah, it was a great return. I'm grateful,

1083
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,440
and I'm just happy to be competing against the best

1084
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:55,519
froom all around the world again.

1085
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 5: You know, like I'm here, let's good, let's dance.

1086
00:55:58,599 --> 00:56:01,119
Speaker 2: You know what's it gonna take to go super deep

1087
00:56:01,159 --> 00:56:01,519
in this thing?

1088
00:56:01,639 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 20: Possibly win it man, mental clarity, focus, energy, aligned, discipline.

1089
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,880
There's so many different things, so many different variables you

1090
00:56:09,039 --> 00:56:12,000
have to There's it's crazy. You can't just come in

1091
00:56:12,039 --> 00:56:14,880
here and thinks just gonna win. That's there's upstairs downs,

1092
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:15,440
you gotta take it.

1093
00:56:15,519 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 5: There's swings. Can't get too high, can't get too low.

1094
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:18,880
You know, he's just it.

1095
00:56:19,199 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 20: It's like a one hundred round boxing match, like right now,

1096
00:56:22,519 --> 00:56:26,800
we're in round twenty, okay, so you just gotta you

1097
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:27,960
just gotta survive.

1098
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:34,119
Speaker 5: All right.

1099
00:56:34,159 --> 00:56:36,679
Speaker 1: So that was Will not shy at all to share

1100
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,320
his story and what happened to him.

1101
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 2: And you know, it's better.

1102
00:56:39,519 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: It's better than just coming from me from what I

1103
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,000
hear it. But he's back and he's having a great summer.

1104
00:56:44,079 --> 00:56:47,840
He's absolutely crushing it. He has well, he has two

1105
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,760
Dubis Whippy Cashes this summer. He has a third place

1106
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,599
finish in the fifteen hundred dollars pot limit Omaha event

1107
00:56:55,159 --> 00:56:58,400
for two hundred and fourteen thousand dollars, and then he

1108
00:56:58,559 --> 00:57:02,119
has a deep run in the Millionaire Maker a fifty

1109
00:57:02,199 --> 00:57:07,000
fourth place there which netted him twenty seven thousand dollars.

1110
00:57:07,039 --> 00:57:08,400
You know, Will is one of those players that you

1111
00:57:08,639 --> 00:57:13,159
just see him around kind of everywhere playing everything. He

1112
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,639
does have a World Series of Poker Gold bracelets. Twenty fourteen,

1113
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,159
he won a one K Nolan Man Hold Him event

1114
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,559
for three hundred and six thousand dollars. In that tournament,

1115
00:57:23,639 --> 00:57:27,840
he topped a field of eighteen hundred and forty one.

1116
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,760
So yeah, so that's Will Givens. He's going strong into

1117
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:34,519
day five and we'll obviously be checking in on him

1118
00:57:34,559 --> 00:57:37,079
and seeing how he's doing going forward. But it's good

1119
00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:40,960
to have Will Gibbings back in the mix. At the

1120
00:57:41,119 --> 00:57:44,440
end of the night, I wanted to talk to Caitlin Komeski.

1121
00:57:45,639 --> 00:57:48,039
She was on her way out and I grabbed her

1122
00:57:48,079 --> 00:57:50,800
and she was kind enough to, you know, give me

1123
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,320
a few minutes off her time. We did a whole

1124
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,280
walk and talk thing, So pardon me if there is

1125
00:57:55,599 --> 00:57:57,719
is some background noise. We're walking through a crowd at

1126
00:57:57,719 --> 00:57:59,480
one point, people just aren't getting out of the way

1127
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,440
of a walk. We're walking through the main hallway into

1128
00:58:03,599 --> 00:58:07,960
like the Rotunda area over in Paris. But listen, I

1129
00:58:08,039 --> 00:58:10,800
talked about how good of a summer Will Givens has

1130
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,840
been having so far. I mean, Kaitlyn Comeski's freaking crushing it.

1131
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,400
She's got one, two, three, four.

1132
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 5: Five six.

1133
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,679
Speaker 1: I believe this is her seventh, maybe her eighth eighth

1134
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:27,480
dobisipy cash. This summer, she's been on fire in terms

1135
00:58:27,519 --> 00:58:30,199
of making some deep runs she has. She made the

1136
00:58:30,239 --> 00:58:32,920
final table of the Ladies Championship, she got fourth there

1137
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,400
for sixty seven thousand dollars. And then she played the

1138
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,079
ten K stud High Low Championship. She got fifth place

1139
00:58:40,159 --> 00:58:42,880
there for ninety seven thousand dollars. That ninety seven thousand

1140
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:47,039
dollars is her largest live tournament score. So Kaitlyn's freaking cooking.

1141
00:58:47,679 --> 00:58:49,360
Like you know, she and she and she's great. She's

1142
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,199
got a lot of personality on her. I know she

1143
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,199
can be viewed as as the funny person, but you know,

1144
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,400
when it's I've played with Kaitlin on a few different occasions,

1145
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:59,719
you know when you're playing with her, yeah, she's a

1146
00:58:59,719 --> 00:59:01,639
good time and she likes to have a laugh and

1147
00:59:01,719 --> 00:59:04,440
some jokes and whatever. But when it's time to play

1148
00:59:04,519 --> 00:59:07,599
some poker and buckle down, focus and get serious, like

1149
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,719
she's in there and she's in there battling. She's a

1150
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,280
handful to deal with at the table. So here's a

1151
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,920
little Walk and Talk interview at the end of the

1152
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,679
night with Caitlyn Komeski, who bagged I believe a little

1153
00:59:16,719 --> 00:59:21,079
bit over one point seven million. All right, Kaitlyn Komeski,

1154
00:59:22,119 --> 00:59:24,760
I think it's been the summer of Kaitlin. Well, what's

1155
00:59:25,039 --> 00:59:27,199
are you on steroids? What's going what's going on here?

1156
00:59:28,239 --> 00:59:32,199
Speaker 11: I honestly put the work in. I meditated and manifested,

1157
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,960
I journaled, I watched hours of content. I watched hours

1158
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,039
of poker. I've played hours and hours online last year.

1159
00:59:39,199 --> 00:59:42,840
I I don't know, I've probably played one hundred thousand

1160
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,199
hands between my live and online volume. And you know,

1161
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:47,800
I mean, I know most people know me as a

1162
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,760
content creator, but slowly and surely I have really put

1163
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,800
in the work to get better and refine my game.

1164
00:59:54,039 --> 00:59:56,960
I think I've got more work into the mixed games,

1165
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,000
if I'm being honest. But it has made me a

1166
00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:02,679
better Nola, not for no question. And I'm just feeling

1167
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,920
like really dialed in. Momentum is real and poker and

1168
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,480
in all sports, and I feel it and I'm riding

1169
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:08,760
the wave.

1170
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,199
Speaker 1: You're someone who always seems to have fun at the table,

1171
01:00:12,199 --> 01:00:14,519
even though you obviously take the game very seriously, both

1172
01:00:14,599 --> 01:00:17,519
on and off the filthy Just how has the experience been?

1173
01:00:17,679 --> 01:00:19,000
You know, I notice you, you know, having a lot

1174
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,760
of fun with those guys at the end, talking about

1175
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,239
making day five all that sort of stuff.

1176
01:00:22,239 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 2: How important is that part of things to just enjoy

1177
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:24,960
it along the way?

1178
01:00:25,559 --> 01:00:28,519
Speaker 11: It's incredibly important. I mean, just like mindfulness and living

1179
01:00:28,599 --> 01:00:30,960
in general is going to make you a happier person.

1180
01:00:31,039 --> 01:00:33,519
If you're living in the past or the future, you're

1181
01:00:33,599 --> 01:00:38,039
never gonna feel fulfillment. So just in terms of like

1182
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,760
being a good person and having a good attitude, that's imperative.

1183
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 5: But for poker, I think growing the game and.

1184
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,679
Speaker 11: Making the game more accessible, especially with how solved it's

1185
01:00:49,719 --> 01:00:52,400
getting and how good everyone's getting and how intimidating the

1186
01:00:52,519 --> 01:00:56,920
environment is, we have to keep that fun element in

1187
01:00:57,079 --> 01:00:59,719
it to continue it, to grow, to make people go

1188
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:05,039
shrudged through the mud that is becoming a winning coper player.

1189
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: You're in the money, You're going to day five in

1190
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,960
the main event, you had this incredible summer from here

1191
01:01:11,039 --> 01:01:11,400
on out.

1192
01:01:12,119 --> 01:01:14,199
Speaker 2: What sort of expectations do you have for yourself?

1193
01:01:14,239 --> 01:01:15,679
Speaker 1: You put a lot of chips in the bag heading

1194
01:01:15,719 --> 01:01:19,000
to day five, So how are you dealing with possible pressure,

1195
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,320
possible expectations, all of that.

1196
01:01:22,239 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 11: I'll tell you what the first week I was here,

1197
01:01:24,519 --> 01:01:27,800
I was running deep in my best event seven no

1198
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,000
limit single draw. The best I had ever finished was

1199
01:01:31,039 --> 01:01:33,960
thirty second last year in the eight game, and when

1200
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,800
we got down to thirty two players, I found this

1201
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,000
huge adrenaline spike that I was not in control of.

1202
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,519
I beat Jerry Wong in a huge pot read the

1203
01:01:42,559 --> 01:01:49,159
situation perfectly made the maximum and there was too much

1204
01:01:49,199 --> 01:01:51,280
power behind the steering though I was speeding and I

1205
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,960
didn't even realize how deep I was. Talked about this

1206
01:01:54,079 --> 01:01:57,880
with somebody else, but yeah, I punted. I got overwhelmed

1207
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,239
by the moment. I had odb on my left and

1208
01:02:00,519 --> 01:02:02,800
Jerry Wong on my right, and I have one of

1209
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,920
the top stacks in the tournament, and.

1210
01:02:06,519 --> 01:02:07,239
Speaker 9: It was too much.

1211
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 11: So I did a Q and A with Alex Livingston

1212
01:02:12,039 --> 01:02:13,760
and I asked him, like, how do you deal with

1213
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,840
these pressures? Because I feel like I'm good at the game.

1214
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,800
I was ready for the moment. I did the grind

1215
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,400
to get there, and then I tripped on the finish

1216
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,239
line and he said, the only way that you get

1217
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,800
better and can feel more in control of these thoughts

1218
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,639
is just keep putting yourself in them. So I put

1219
01:02:27,679 --> 01:02:30,599
myself in a ton of uncomfortable positions and I had

1220
01:02:30,639 --> 01:02:33,199
a really hard week. I played some games that I'm

1221
01:02:33,199 --> 01:02:35,599
not very good at. I got fish braided a lot.

1222
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,480
I ran into a player who took a particular disliking

1223
01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:40,000
to me that I had to play with a lot,

1224
01:02:40,159 --> 01:02:42,559
and it was really hard, and I moved through that.

1225
01:02:42,639 --> 01:02:44,719
I had a lot of support and a lot of friends,

1226
01:02:45,559 --> 01:02:49,000
and I'm really proud of myself for putting myself in

1227
01:02:49,039 --> 01:02:52,559
those uncomfortable positions so that I know now that I'm here,

1228
01:02:52,599 --> 01:02:55,480
I'm ready. I mean, if I final table is and

1229
01:02:55,559 --> 01:02:57,679
then it'll be my third final table at the series,

1230
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,440
so it'll feel very comfortable on car for the course.

1231
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,280
And that's really exciting because I know I'm going to

1232
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,360
be able to play my best because of the summer

1233
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,360
that I've had before this to be ready to you know,

1234
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:11,000
make it happen.

1235
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,559
Speaker 1: So that was Caitlyn Kameski was a pleasure talking to

1236
01:03:15,719 --> 01:03:18,480
her as well. Thought I might not get the interview,

1237
01:03:18,559 --> 01:03:20,800
to be honest, she was doing another interview and you know,

1238
01:03:21,039 --> 01:03:22,639
the whole double interview at the end of night when

1239
01:03:22,639 --> 01:03:23,840
people are just trying to get the heck out of

1240
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,840
there and go get some rest. I'm always a little

1241
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,920
bit worried they're going to say no. Of course, you

1242
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,960
know full respect that, you know, everyone's allowed to say no.

1243
01:03:31,039 --> 01:03:32,559
It's not a big deal.

1244
01:03:33,119 --> 01:03:34,159
Speaker 2: But I was a little bit worried.

1245
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,519
Speaker 1: I did want to talk to her, So thank you

1246
01:03:36,639 --> 01:03:40,480
Caitlin for taking the time there. As I mentioned, five

1247
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:45,119
hundred and thirty three players remain, they are all guaranteed

1248
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,760
thirty two thousand, five hundred dollars. It's either ar tomorch

1249
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:55,159
Erosion or Sam Swilim as the chip leader. Entering day five,

1250
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,559
there is going to be a pay jump of another

1251
01:03:57,639 --> 01:04:01,840
twenty five hundred dollars up to thirty five. When they

1252
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,159
get down to four hundred and seventy six players left

1253
01:04:05,199 --> 01:04:09,559
in the field. I'm guessing they'll finish with around two

1254
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,559
hundred or so on day five, maybe a little bit more.

1255
01:04:13,199 --> 01:04:15,480
I was thinking today, you know, it kind of hit

1256
01:04:15,599 --> 01:04:17,159
me and maybe I'm just getting a little bit too

1257
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,079
in my feelings about things. I was walking through the

1258
01:04:21,159 --> 01:04:23,239
floor and I was like, man, like these these guys

1259
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,159
are like they're all they're all in it, Like all

1260
01:04:26,199 --> 01:04:28,679
these players are. They're in it, They're deep, they're in it.

1261
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,760
Look at these stacks, like the payouts are starting to build,

1262
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,639
Like okay, like we're getting there. You know, there's there's

1263
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,440
under one thousand players left, there's under seven hundred players left,

1264
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:41,199
there's under six hundred players left. And then I was thinking, man,

1265
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,159
they still have so much further to go, Like it's

1266
01:04:46,519 --> 01:04:49,559
you know, you have to go day five, Day six,

1267
01:04:50,039 --> 01:04:53,000
day seven, day eight, and then if you ultimately want

1268
01:04:53,039 --> 01:04:54,719
to get to the top of the mountain, you got

1269
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,920
to go through multiple days of a final table. I'm

1270
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,719
like this, there is still so much left this tournament,

1271
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,760
and that's that's what makes it so great, Like there's

1272
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,360
nothing is given in this tournament. You can be a

1273
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,639
chip leader and you can be out tomorrow. You can

1274
01:05:09,719 --> 01:05:11,880
be a short sack and you can spin it and

1275
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,559
be a chip leader. You know, heading into day six,

1276
01:05:14,679 --> 01:05:18,039
it can go any which way up, down, left, right, sideways,

1277
01:05:18,079 --> 01:05:18,840
It does not matter.

1278
01:05:19,039 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 4: Okay.

1279
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean this thing is just absolutely awesome. And if

1280
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,400
Day five is anything like Day four, and I'm speaking

1281
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,599
mostly about what we saw on the coverage, I mean,

1282
01:05:29,679 --> 01:05:33,239
good lord, the hands that were played, you would honestly

1283
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,719
think that the decks were raked. It was banger after

1284
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:42,280
banger after banger, like big pairs, classic flips. There was

1285
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,679
a hand that was a set over set with an

1286
01:05:44,719 --> 01:05:48,199
overpair of aces involved. It's just madness up there. And

1287
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,639
then of course you get all the crazy hands combined

1288
01:05:51,679 --> 01:05:54,960
with the pressure of the moment, the characters that are involved,

1289
01:05:55,039 --> 01:05:59,079
like all of it. Like, there is nothing like this tournament.

1290
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 2: And I really really.

1291
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,039
Speaker 1: Hope that you know, what we do on this podcast

1292
01:06:03,119 --> 01:06:05,639
can just give you guys a little taste of how

1293
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,000
freaking awesome it is. Don't forget to tune into the

1294
01:06:08,039 --> 01:06:12,440
coverage when it happens. I know there's been a lot

1295
01:06:12,519 --> 01:06:15,199
to be said about it being on the ESPN Plus

1296
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,079
or the app or whatever it's called. But tune in

1297
01:06:18,199 --> 01:06:20,559
because ultimately, the more viewers that this thing gets, the

1298
01:06:20,639 --> 01:06:23,400
better that it ultimately is for poker, and that's what

1299
01:06:23,599 --> 01:06:26,800
we want to thrive, that's what we want to succeed.

1300
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,840
But we're getting down to it, boys and girls. It's

1301
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,199
going to be Friday. It's going to be day five

1302
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,719
of the WSP Main Event. Five hundred and thirty three

1303
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,679
players remain, and we are going My name is Donna

1304
01:06:39,719 --> 01:06:42,559
Peters it's a pleasure as always, and I will talk

1305
01:06:42,599 --> 01:06:44,199
to you guys on the next episode.

1306
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:50,079
Speaker 9: Jenny
