1 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,439 Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome to a new episode of the Poker 2 00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:18,120 Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. It is well, 3 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,359 I guess it's Friday. It's Friday, May twenty ninth, one 4 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:29,000 oh five am. Latest pod recording session of the summer 5 00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:32,159 so far. I feel like it's still a little bit 6 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,560 early though. I had a later night hanging out and 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,759 was just chatting with some folks towards towards the end 8 00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:41,039 of the night that that uh took up my time. Overall, 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,039 things are starting to cook over at the World Series 10 00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:47,960 of Poker now. I keep thinking every time I go 11 00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,840 down there that it's it's still the calm before the storm. 12 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,560 I think there's a couple things, and I know I've 13 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,880 said this already, you know, on a few of the 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,240 recent episodes, but I think it's because of a couple 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,239 of things specifically, and they're they're for whatever reason, they're 16 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,760 they're affecting my psyche. One like our area where we 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,799 got to sit and like do our stuff. It's still 18 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,719 not fully set up. Of course, it's not expected to 19 00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,439 be set up, you know, dealing with the main stage. 20 00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,120 I got it. You know, we're second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, 21 00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:25,719 We're way down on that total bowl. I totally get it. 22 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,599 But that said, it's just messing with my psyche a 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,439 little bit, you know. Second thing, and I think this 24 00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:35,879 thing might be the bigger thing, is that that main 25 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,040 stage it's still behind the curtain. It is still shut 26 00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,280 off from the public. Now it's a giant curtain, and 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,879 you can get a size or an idea of the 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,560 size of this thing, but it just feels like a 29 00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:51,079 metaphor that it won't fully be the twenty twenty six 30 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,519 doubs ap until that curtain drops on Friday, which is today, 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,239 when you guys are listening to this, when Pete, we'll 32 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,159 see what I'm calling the wacip Grand Arena. When this 33 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:09,000 thing is revealed, it's it's wow factor, you know. To me, 34 00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:13,960 everyone's still kind of waking up. The whip itself is 35 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,840 still kind of waking up. Once this thing drops, once 36 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,919 that curtain hits the ground, it is on. It is 37 00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,000 game freaking on. And also part of this as well 38 00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:27,479 is that, you know, we still haven't crowned a bracelet 39 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:31,280 are yet. It's Friday. This thing kicked off on Tuesday. 40 00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:36,240 There has been no bracelet one just yet. Of course, 41 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,520 we're getting there, right a couple of cool things happened. 42 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,840 We got our first final table today, well actually our 43 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280 first two final tables that I should say, apologies me. 44 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,039 We got the five hundred dollars Industry Employees event playing 45 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,520 down right now. They are currently heads up while I 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,759 am recording. I'm likely not going to touch on this 47 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,639 one once, even if we get a winner during the show. 48 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,240 I kind of want to, you know, give a little 49 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,039 bit more to this event when there is a winner 50 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,879 that happens, So, you know, likely on the next podcast 51 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,520 is when I'll touch on that one. I don't just 52 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,159 want to be like, oh, hey, so and so on, 53 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:12,639 let's just move on with our lives. But heads up 54 00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:15,599 is Jeremy Nepple and Sean Hammering, and they look to 55 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,759 be pretty deep as well, so that one could take 56 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,400 a little while over there. Now. The other final table 57 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,039 that we got is in the five K no Limit 58 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,319 hold them. We talked about that event already a little bit, 59 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,280 you know, getting yesterday, I was talking about how it's 60 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,360 setting up where we could see a final table that 61 00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:37,400 includes Martin Cabrell and Maurice Hawkins. Well both of them 62 00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:40,199 busted out. I think Cabrell busted out shortly after, I 63 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,199 must have, you know, pressed the stop button and sent 64 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,919 the sent the podcast over to producer Rich. But listen, 65 00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:49,080 Friday is a big day. It is a big, big, 66 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,800 big day. I know I keep hyping up this, this set, 67 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,159 this stage, but I think it's worth it. You know, 68 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,439 I'm not someone who tries to just set these crazy 69 00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:03,439 lofty expectations, you know, to basically clickbait everyone. I do 70 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,080 not believe this is clickbait. I'm also trying to couch 71 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,080 a little bit of what I'm saying because I don't 72 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,400 really want to give away too much. But I'm telling you, guys, 73 00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:13,800 when you see this thing, it's gonna be awesome. And 74 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,120 with that reveal, it's gonna be immediately into streaming. You know, 75 00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,720 twenty five k heads up. You know it's day one 76 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,439 of that or day one A of that, because they 77 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,000 do have two starting flights in that tournament this year. 78 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,439 You know that's supposed to be streaming. You're also likely 79 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,279 gonna have some coverage of the five thousand dollars Noldman 80 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,759 hold the final table that's going on as well. So 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,399 it's gonna be curtain drop. It's gonna be a whole 82 00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:42,079 big wow factor. People are gonna get to see this thing, 83 00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:45,120 and then throughout the day, you know, it's gonna be 84 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,600 an action and it's gonna be put out there via 85 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:51,240 the WSOP YouTube channel, and people are gonna be able 86 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,879 to watch this thing and see the set and see 87 00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:57,759 the twenty six WSOP in action in full. And at 88 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,439 that point, like that's when it's like, like I said, 89 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:06,319 it's game on now. Speaking of that five thousand dollars, 90 00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:09,199 nolam that hold them final table, it is here. It's 91 00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,680 a big one. They got half a million dollars up top. 92 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,560 There are five players remaining when they bagged them up 93 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,360 on Thursday. One of them is wren linn. Lynn of course, 94 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,600 had a bit of a situation back in October where 95 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,759 while he was over in Cyprus playing in the WISIP 96 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,160 Super Circuit Series, it was ruled that he violated the 97 00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:42,399 poker Integrity policy on gg Poker while playing the WSIP 98 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,000 Super Circuit Cypress main event. If I remember correctly, what 99 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:48,480 happened is basically, someone he was in a group chat, 100 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,920 somebody called him on a video call and asked him 101 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,279 what to do on a spot on a phone, and 102 00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:56,279 he gave some answers and that was the thing. Now 103 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,399 we can obviously debate, was this innocent thing. Did Rendland 104 00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:02,680 know what the heck he was doing? I have no idea. 105 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,360 I can't really judge intent from where I sit. That said, 106 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,000 it was ruled that he violated this policy and then 107 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,439 as a result they opted to disqualify him from the 108 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,279 live tournament, even though what he did was technically an 109 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,639 online breach of policy. So kind of an interesting result there, 110 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,319 but that was the penalty. It was a polarizing situation 111 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:29,600 at the time. You had plenty of people coming out 112 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,480 kind of on both sides. Listen, he didn't really mean it, 113 00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:34,199 he didn't really do it. On the other side of things, 114 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,519 it's like, yes, he's an ambassador, he needs to know better. 115 00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:40,959 Like it was, you had both sides covered, and I'm 116 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,079 sure even still to this day, you know you have 117 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,759 both sides still covered. You know, there's plenty of people 118 00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,279 on both sides of the fence here. But the story 119 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,319 now is that Renland is back and he's made the 120 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:57,839 final table of the five thousand dollars, no limit, hold 121 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:01,560 Them event at the twenty twenty six and he's he's 122 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,199 full on renln You know, lady Gaga fold to heads up, 123 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800 touchdown Tom Brady like it is. It is all there, 124 00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:12,759 and it is there in full. He does come in 125 00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:17,000 fourth in Chips with five players of mating. It's Chen 126 00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:20,600 Jang Mao another player from China, so the three players 127 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,360 from China. Redland is from China at this final table. 128 00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,959 So Mayo leads the way. He's got ninety big blinds. 129 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Danny el Geba second in Chips, Jaohulu also from China, 130 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,680 third and Chips and Renlin in fourth. Like I mentioned in, 131 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,480 Peter Muger is in fifth. They are playing for that 132 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:40,040 five hundred thousand dollars first place prize. A little bit 133 00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:44,399 more here on Renlin, He's got nineteen point four million 134 00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:48,959 dollars in live tournament earnings. According to the Hendon mock. 135 00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:52,720 He's got several victories on his resume. Some of those 136 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720 victories are PGT titles. He's got three of those. He's 137 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,959 also got a couple of wins in some WPT high 138 00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,959 roller events. Believe he won it was a twenty five 139 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,600 k high roller on the WPT, and then he also 140 00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:08,279 won an Alpha eight event. That Alpha eight event took 141 00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:12,000 place at the win WPT World Championship a couple of 142 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,720 years ago. But he has no bracelets. Now, that's not 143 00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,480 to say he hasn't had success in wis AP events. 144 00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:24,879 You know, he's had five second place finishes, He's had 145 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:29,639 three third place finishes in ws AP gold bracelet events. 146 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,480 He's made the final five here. I didn't look past 147 00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:35,240 third place over those. You know that was enough. You know, 148 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,960 eight top three finishes without a win. That that's a lot. 149 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,200 That is the definition of knocking on the door of 150 00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:45,200 winning a bracelet. And here he is. Yes, he does 151 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,639 come in fourth in chips. He has twenty five big 152 00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:51,240 Lindes to work with, but in Renland style, I think 153 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:54,519 he's gonna kick around for a bit and probably make 154 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,600 you know, the top three for sure, and then go 155 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,879 from there. Another player of note at this final table 156 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,759 danielle Geba. He's in better trip position than Lenny said second. Overall, 157 00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:08,000 he's We've covered him a little bit in some some 158 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,519 prior tournaments PGT for sure. I think he has a 159 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,240 second place finish in maybe a Poker Masters event if 160 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,399 I remember correctly. But he's definitely been in the studio 161 00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:19,600 a bit playing there. I've played with him as well 162 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,159 around town here in Las Vegas. He had you know, 163 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,919 some some stream time during a Venetian event that we 164 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,000 did on the PGT. You know, he he's just a fun, 165 00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,519 aggressive player. He has a tendency to not hold back 166 00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:38,440 one single bit. So this could be for or this 167 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,759 could lean into quite a lot of fun. And especially 168 00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:42,440 if this is gonna be on stream and if they 169 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,080 are showing a bit of this table, that'll be great 170 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,759 because with how Gebba plays, I would expect plenty of fireworks. 171 00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:53,360 He's supremely confident in his ability. You know, he's not 172 00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:56,559 someone who's who's overly loud or boisterous or anything like that. 173 00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,559 He's he's very quiet. He's kind of silent, you know, 174 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,000 but his play and his style of play certainly does 175 00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:06,279 speak volumes. You know. He's also the type of player 176 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,200 where because he plays this type of you know, kind 177 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,360 of really like Gopher Broke type of style, if he 178 00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:16,279 does go on to win this thing, it would be 179 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,159 his first breakout win. Now, independent of that, let's say, 180 00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:22,080 you know, I mean he's starting second in chips, he's 181 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,120 got seventy two big blinds, So let's say he gets 182 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,159 to the top three. I mean, that type of score 183 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,519 this early in the series that could be you know, 184 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,759 the type of momentum that somebody of this type of 185 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,240 style really does harness to then go on and make 186 00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:41,399 a whole crap ton of noise this summer. So just 187 00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:44,200 just keep that in mind when it comes to Daniel Gebba, 188 00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:46,879 just with this playing style, when he gets hot, big 189 00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:49,639 things can happen. So you know, this might not be 190 00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:52,559 the last time you hear his name this summer, and 191 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,399 then we can look back and be like, yeah, he 192 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,279 made that opening five gate final table, like that's kind 193 00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:07,159 of where it all started for Daniel. We have switching 194 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,399 things up and looking over at the fifteen hundred dollars 195 00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:14,559 Omaha High Low Tournament, they are down to the final 196 00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:17,759 eighteen players and it looks like they're down to the 197 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:22,000 final couple hands before they bag up for the evening, 198 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:24,639 and among them they were over eight hundred. They were 199 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:26,960 eight hundred and twenty eight players in the field there, 200 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,960 but among them in the final eighteen Vanessa Selps. So 201 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,840 she's back, she is back in the mix. She is 202 00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:37,240 back grinding. I believe Phil Helmon's put it on Twitter 203 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,720 that even if she's only back for a few events. 204 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,159 At the start of the dibsip it's good. It's good 205 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,799 to have her back, and it is good to have 206 00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,200 her back blasting away. So that's that's a little bit 207 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,480 of a notable nugget there. From the fifteen hundred dollars 208 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:54,960 Omaha High Low had another flight of the five hundred 209 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,679 and fifty five dollars fifty five, five hundred and fifty dollars, 210 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,960 a mini mystery million. It drew twenty four hundred and 211 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,559 fifty entries today, which was Day one seed. That brings 212 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,440 the total number of entries in this field up to 213 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,679 five thousand, six hundred and forty seven. We talked about 214 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,799 how Day one B was surprisingly fewer entries than Day 215 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,200 one A in this tournament, but a nice uptick here 216 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,080 to get things trending back in the right direction. And then, 217 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,919 speaking of numbers, while we're just on this topic, the 218 00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:27,919 fifteen hundred dollars stud kicked off today got a bit 219 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,440 over three hundred, much closer to last year's number. The 220 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,840 five thousand dollars PLO got up over seven hundred entries 221 00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:36,720 that also very close to last year's number. So although 222 00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:40,720 they didn't meet last year's number, drawing as close as 223 00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:43,480 they did, you know, it's definitely a much better sign 224 00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:45,679 for things to come, and it could all just maybe 225 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,559 be it's just kind of a slower start to the 226 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,879 summer overall. But again, you know we're gonna be We're 227 00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:52,679 gonna be keeping an eye on things with how they go, 228 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:56,840 and you know, tracking these numbers and you know, seeing 229 00:12:57,639 --> 00:12:59,399 seeing how it all shakes out. You know, I still 230 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,639 expect big things overall from the entire summer. You know, 231 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,480 I think it's just a little bit slow to start, 232 00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:07,360 So I mean, shoot me if I'm too optimistic there. 233 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,879 All right, in that five thousand dollars PLO tournament, it 234 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,799 ended up with seven hundred and sixteen entries five hundred 235 00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:18,279 and ninety five k up top. It's a shocking player 236 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,799 who's in first place. It's it's Dylan Wiseman. I mean, 237 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,759 it's mister freaking Plo himself is just doing it once again. 238 00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:29,200 And then right behind him is Jesse Lonis, so two 239 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:31,639 heavy hitters there when it comes to the four card game. 240 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,679 Dylan is one of the absolute best, if not the 241 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,799 best PLO player in the world, especially when it comes 242 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,360 to tournaments. We all know Jesse Lonis aka the Gorilla 243 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,320 with how good he is. You know, he's also a 244 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,000 player who, as I was talking about earlier with Daniel Gebba, 245 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,240 you know, he's someone who he swings big and when 246 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,799 he gets hot, I mean, you just better freaking watch out. 247 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,200 I was hanging around on the rail checking out out 248 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,159 this tournament for a bit today, you know, I don't know, 249 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:06,960 probably an hour or two before they bagged up. I'm 250 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,720 talking with Tristan Wade, who's a good friend of mine. 251 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,480 We do some commentary together as well. I think we're 252 00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:16,159 lined up to do some commentary this weekend at Venetian 253 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,200 for the Venetian Poker live streams that are coming up 254 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,480 on Saturday and Sunday. And we're, you know, we're just chatting. 255 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:23,080 He had just busted out of the tournament. We're just 256 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,519 you know, shooting the ship, talking about life. He's floating 257 00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:27,679 some ideas with me, like all this sort of stuff. 258 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:32,679 A gentleman starts kind of hovering close to us, and 259 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,519 it's it's to the point where you know, you, I mean, 260 00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:38,840 you guys know what's happening When when I say that, 261 00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:41,039 you know, you feel that the person wants to talk 262 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,240 to you, but he's kind of waiting for a reason 263 00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:45,960 to talk to you, or he's waiting for one of 264 00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:48,039 us to say something where he can agree with us 265 00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:51,200 and like basically interject himself into the conversation. So he's 266 00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:53,320 kind of like floating right near us and getting a 267 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,080 little bit closer. And then finally he just starts asking Tristan, 268 00:14:57,559 --> 00:15:00,440 you know about the tournament. Hey. Oh. The first he says, 269 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,279 actually is do you have any bullets left? Which is 270 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,720 kind of a very weird question to ask, And immediately 271 00:15:06,799 --> 00:15:10,759 I'm thinking, oh, he's this guy. Maybe this guy's just 272 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,279 like looking out there to blast and he wants to 273 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,399 put people who have extra bullets because I believe you 274 00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:18,759 could allow you were allowed three bullets in this thing, 275 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:21,879 one entry and then two re entries. And Tristan says, 276 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,399 you know, yeah, I you know, I only played once, 277 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,679 but I'm not going to play again. And it didn't 278 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,480 amount to the guy, you know, firing in. Like I 279 00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:30,960 was like, that would be crazy if the guy was like, well, 280 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,919 I'll just put you in, you know. But anyway, but 281 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:37,000 him and Tristan started talking. The gentleman's name was Josh 282 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,960 and an Asian gentleman, and he's you know, they're chatting 283 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,080 it up and basically they start talking about like should 284 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,720 the guy Josh is like, you know, should I Should 285 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,759 I register now? Should I wait till it's late registration 286 00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:51,600 and registration was about to close and let's say ten 287 00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:54,679 or fifteen minutes that break and then obviously through the 288 00:15:54,679 --> 00:16:00,320 break you could so they're debating the benefits. Then gives 289 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,720 the positives in terms of, you know, should he get now, 290 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,919 should he just wait till the late reds all this 291 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,120 sort of stuff. So it ends up they end up 292 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:10,559 chatting whatever. But it never really felt like the guy 293 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:14,159 was like gonna play the tournament, okay, So whatever. Tristan 294 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,159 ends up like the conversation like breaks off after you know, 295 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,679 ten minutes or so. Tristan runs to the bathroom. He 296 00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:25,399 comes back in the tournament's on break, the tournament's about 297 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,879 to get back from break. We're sitting there chatting with 298 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,120 Michael mss Rocky about how you know him and Tristan 299 00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:33,559 went down to Australia, had a fun time down there, 300 00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:35,720 had some success in the tournaments for the return of 301 00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:40,240 the Ausie Millions like all that, and Miss Rocky leaves 302 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,519 and the guy the Gentleman, the Asian Gentleman comes back 303 00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:45,759 over Josh and he's, you know, he's he shows Trists 304 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:47,159 in the app and he's like, he's like, I'm in 305 00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:49,320 or whatever he says. He's like, I'm in, you know, 306 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,279 so do I just like, do I just wait for 307 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,039 my seat? Because he's he's was listed as an alternate. First, 308 00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:57,279 Tristan tells him, oh, you should go find a floor, 309 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,200 but then it dawned on him and they said, no, no, 310 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,080 actually you just wait till it pops up on the 311 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,759 app and then it says, you know, oh your seat's 312 00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:05,759 availab or whatever it says, I forget. But the cool 313 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:08,279 thing about it is that, I don't know, they got 314 00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:11,079 to be kind of friendly throughout this whole little ordeal. 315 00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:13,640 And Tristan goes, you know, can I buy a piece? 316 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,599 Can I buy a piece right now? And the guys like, 317 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480 are you're serious? And I don't really like he goes, 318 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,480 I don't really know, like because I know what I'm doing, 319 00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:24,559 but I'm not the best PLO player, like you know, 320 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,200 and Tristan's like, I don't care. I get kind of 321 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,559 good feeling. So if Tristan ends up just buying five 322 00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:32,440 percent on the spot, at face gives the guy two 323 00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,960 hundred and fifty bucks, and then the guy starts asking 324 00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:38,759 him pointers, you know, like you know, hey, like Tristan said, yeah, 325 00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:41,400 you know, just just let me know, like they exchange numbers. 326 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,640 Tristan's like, yeah, you can text me any time, you know, 327 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,000 I'll give you some tips. Maybe we can talk hands 328 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:50,039 like whatever it may be. And the guy's like, yeah, 329 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,759 you know, like I was kind of looking at this 330 00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,519 thing to see like what's a good hand and what's 331 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:56,400 not like and then Tristan's explaining how when the guy 332 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,960 comes in, he's only gonna have twelve and a half 333 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,240 big blind, so there's gonna be a limping strategy that 334 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,640 he should deploy, and it's kind of spawns into this 335 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,359 whole little ten minute strategy talk. But I just thought 336 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,279 that the interaction was just it was cool. It was 337 00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:13,440 something that you know, you really only see in poker 338 00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:16,759 and in the gambling world, and all that sort of 339 00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,240 stuff is magnified and a little bit more prevalent when 340 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,640 it comes to the World Series of Poker. Just Tristan 341 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:25,119 just met this guy. He only knows that the guy's 342 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,359 name is Josh, that's all he knows, and just out 343 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,880 of nowhere pulls out his wallet and says, I want 344 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,599 to buy five percent. The guy says, are you sure? Okay, 345 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,799 the guy just accepts it. Tristan pays him the cash 346 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,400 right there, They exchange numbers and that's that. The guy's 347 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,920 off and running. In the tournament, they start with fifty 348 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,079 thousand chips. Tristan and I go, we're just talking some more. 349 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,160 Tristan gets a text that like the guys, all of 350 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,920 a sudden, like a half hour after he started playing, 351 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,359 is up to two hundred k. And you know, it's 352 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,599 just it's it's off and running. So I mean, I 353 00:18:57,599 --> 00:19:01,559 hope he does well. That'd just be an amazing story 354 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,720 and we'll have to we'll have to follow it up 355 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:07,039 from here. Funny funny stuff. How that that all happens 356 00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:09,759 at the World Series? And I'm sure, Oh, I think 357 00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:12,519 they had a connection that Tristan's from Florida, and I 358 00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:15,599 think that this guy might live in Florida or spends 359 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,119 a lot of time in Florida or something like that. 360 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,759 That was kind of the initial connection. But anyway, I 361 00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:23,640 just think it's funny that that that that sort of 362 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,480 interaction can spark a friendship now, like like a poker friendship. 363 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:31,039 Like these guys are you know? He bought action five 364 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,839 percent of them on the spot, just and has no idea. 365 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,200 This guy's good, bad, what he's he gonna do with 366 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,200 the money? Like it doesn't matter. There's just that trust there. 367 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,079 He sized him up, thought he was a good guy, 368 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,400 said you know what, let's gamble. I want to get 369 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,119 back in the mix. Here's five percent, here's my money, 370 00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:47,759 let's go. Now they got each other's numbers. They're probably 371 00:19:47,799 --> 00:19:49,599 going to see each other throughout the summer in terms 372 00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:51,799 of like playing in the tournaments and being at different tables, 373 00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:54,480 but they'll always have like that little bond that that's 374 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,000 something comes from it. And I just I don't know, 375 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,359 I'm a sucker for this shit. I'm sorry, I just 376 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,799 really am. So that's that was a really cool nugget 377 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,440 of something that happened today while out there roaming the floor. 378 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,799 Another cool thing that happened today. And this is the 379 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:11,240 coolest damn thing that happened today. It didn't happen down 380 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:15,200 at the Horseshoe or at Paris. In fact, I guess 381 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,920 it happened digitally because Daniel Legrano Amanda Nagrano, they announced 382 00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:25,359 that they are having a baby. It is through a surrogate. 383 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,680 Daniel and Amanda announced it on the vlog that dropped 384 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,079 on Thursday. The vlogs are back, by the way, guys, 385 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,000 the vlogs are back. The d nexvogs are back. Watch 386 00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:37,400 them every single morning. If you guys don't do that 387 00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:39,319 as well, I don't know what the hell you're doing. 388 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,319 But they explained fifteen weeks pregnant. Now they have talked 389 00:20:43,519 --> 00:20:46,640 in some various vlogs, or at least Daniel has talked 390 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,079 in some various blogs how they are trying or they 391 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,039 have been trying. So now they are fifteen weeks pregnant, 392 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:58,240 expected to be delivered in November. And it is a boy, 393 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,279 so great news there of Daniel and a minute. It's 394 00:21:01,279 --> 00:21:05,039 also a funny running joke another the funny story. I 395 00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:07,440 guess that that happened today kind of in the similar 396 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,000 conversation when I was standing there, a Trician is Jeff 397 00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:13,759 Gross walks up and he starts talking about, you know, hey, 398 00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:15,599 are we gonna do the World Cup of Vegas this year? 399 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,440 Are we gonna play soccer? Because the three of us 400 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,160 are on a team, and I believe we won the 401 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,480 first one that they ever held together. We won it twice. 402 00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:25,680 I couldn't remember if it was the first one or 403 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,880 the second one, but we won that that soccer tournament 404 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,279 twice with all the poker players in Las Vegas. But 405 00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:32,720 we're you know, we're talking about how we're old now. 406 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,960 Getting out of bed is like we feel like we 407 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,880 can't move half the time, like you know, imagine trying 408 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,319 to run around play soccer all day, Like are we 409 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,799 gonna be able to do that? I mean, we're you know, 410 00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:44,559 we're half joking that we're old, but you know, you 411 00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:48,119 start feeling it. We got kids now, chasing them around again, 412 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,119 and all of us have kids, so that but that's 413 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,359 the joke now. And that also is something that we 414 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,119 talk about often over at the Poker Gross studio where 415 00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:57,400 it's like everyone everyone's got a fucking kids now, Like 416 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,480 that that's the thing, Like, you know, everyone comes in, 417 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,000 they show up to quote unquote work, whether you're a player, 418 00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:05,160 whether you're on our side of things, whatever, and it's like, hey, 419 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,519 how's the family, how the kids, how's the wife? You know, 420 00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:10,160 like that's those are the conversations now, And it's almost 421 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,240 as though if you don't have a kid, if you 422 00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:16,480 aren't a dad or a mom. You know, you're you're 423 00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:20,240 almost the outlier now, which is both cool but also 424 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,640 kind of a reminder that there's not a lot of 425 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,759 young people kind of coming up in the game these days, 426 00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:26,640 which stinks, but you know, it is what it is. 427 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,680 But yeah, but that's just how it is. So anyway, 428 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,279 shout out to Daniel and Amanda. That's really really really 429 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,680 awesome news. A lot of fun and you know, so 430 00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:40,160 I guess next summer when when Daniel's doing vlogs, he's 431 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,559 gonna have a little kid running around or crawling around 432 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,480 or whatever. So a lot of fun there. But honestly, 433 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:49,079 that's really all I got for you guys. You know, 434 00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:51,640 a couple stories run through, a couple of results. Here. 435 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,599 Tomorrow's the big day, as I mentioned, or Friday is 436 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,559 the big day. The w SP Grand Arena is going 437 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,880 to be revealed. I hope you guys, if you aren't 438 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,680 able to make it down to Paris to the Horseshoe 439 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,960 to see this thing in person this year. You know, 440 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,240 I hope that the photos can do a justice. I 441 00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:11,240 hope the streams can do it justice. I hope the 442 00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:16,440 videos that come out can do it justice because Poker, 443 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,559 and specifically the World Series of Poker deserves a stage 444 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,119 like this. It does. It is o our industry super Bowl. 445 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,279 It is the biggest and the best thing that this 446 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,039 industry has, and it deserves to have, you know, that 447 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,440 giant monumental setting to be played out, and so look 448 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,000 forward to that. You know, I know the team at 449 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,920 Blueprint fifty two cannot wait to reveal that to anyone. 450 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,119 I mean also, you know, with the reveal comes a 451 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,960 bit of sleep, because those guys have been working like 452 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:49,359 they were still there doing work when I left at 453 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,599 like eleven thirty or whatever time it was that I left. 454 00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:55,319 I mean, they are working basically around the clock to 455 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,400 get this thing ready to go, ready for day one 456 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,799 of streaming and to you know, really get that debas 457 00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:06,720 would heartbeat, you know, ramped up into full gear. All right, 458 00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:09,680 that's gonna do it for me. Another relatively short podcast, 459 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,880 but it's looking like Monday is when you know, we'll 460 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,039 have our entire space set up. We'll be bringing back 461 00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:19,039 the video podcast, we'll be diving into some more interviews, 462 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,480 all that sort of stuff. So you know, thanks for 463 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:23,799 kind of sticking with me for these early few days. 464 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,039 As we feel things out and we kind of ease 465 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,240 into this thing, but you know, it's always important. At 466 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:33,119 least I do feel that it's pretty important to get 467 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,200 it out to you guys. You know what's happening down 468 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,319 there as best I can. I know not everyone can 469 00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:39,599 come on down to the World Series of Pokers. So 470 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:43,480 if we can relay through this show that this is 471 00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:45,519 what it's like to be here, then you know, that's 472 00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:48,079 a win. That's a win for me. All Right, that's 473 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,759 gonna do it for me. I'm gonna go try and 474 00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:51,960 get some sleep and then get back down there for 475 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,880 the big reveal on Friday.
