WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.439 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
