You do have a random player of 45 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.479 the day, Oh, because you spotted her before I did. 46 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.120 Yeah, and I completely pushed the name Michelle Cantonella. 47 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.919 There we say it, Yeschelle can Canna Cannatella. I believe 48 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:50.400 that's how you say. 49 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.039 It was recently on I think the Traders TV show. 50 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.080 Yes, she was. I'm a big Traders fan here, definitely 51 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.280 watch a lot of it, and she was on it. 52 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.479 I can't remember what season or when it was, but 53 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.919 she was on it, and I believe, if I remember correctly, 54 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.879 I thought everyone on that season was horrific. So there's 55 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:12.960 no idea what the show is. 56 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.680 But I know a lot of Poka people do watch it, 57 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.599 so I've got to put that on my list one 58 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.560 day now. 59 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.199 Not super random, but I saw Ralph Perry. I also 60 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.599 I know I also saw in a nod medic who I 61 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.159 think that's pretty random. In the one K, I think 62 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.080 I'm pretty sure he was playing the one K mister Millions, 63 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.560 So that's pretty random to me. So that that's what 64 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.319 we got there. But let's move on to some actual news. Here. 65 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:42.879 We got Antonio Galiana winning the five thousand dollars no 66 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.280 Limit hold Them tournament. Five hundred and eighty two thousand 67 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.759 dollars are going his way. It is his second Wsop 68 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.000 Gold bracelet. Last year he won the twenty five hundred 69 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.039 dollars Nolanman hold Him Freeze Out and he took home 70 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.759 just shy of four hundred and forty thousand dollars for that, 71 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.520 and so quite a nice joint payday, I will say 72 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.680 from from these two wins for Galiana. In this year's tournament, 73 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.439 he topped a field of six hundred and ninety three entries. 74 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.400 In the end he beat Frederick Norman in heads up play, 75 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.959 Norman taking home three hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars. 76 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.040 Christian Roberts got third, Renngi ak Ricky Mao got fourth, 77 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:30.199 You had, Gatan Baalre got fifth, Yuri Uri Uri Sorry 78 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.839 sorry Urry Uri Reichenstein got sixth, Justin Liberto got seventh 79 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.480 and Georgio Sotoropolis got eighth. The final five players returned 80 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.839 today for the first poker Go live stream of the summer, 81 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.519 and it was a good one. If you tuned in. 82 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.319 Thank you, thank you. Not that I was on the call, 83 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.879 but thank you from the company and if you tuned in, 84 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.360 you got to see the upgraded set, which looks really 85 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.040 really cool, lots of LEDs. It definitely thinks like, you know, 86 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.319 we brought the set into the here and now, maybe 87 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.480 even slightly into the future, because it looks like you 88 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.839 got that much upgraded, so really really really cool to see. 89 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.759 Pretty I would say slow, not that it wasn't exciting. 90 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.800 I mean there were some big hands, you know, not 91 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.040 really any like super big all in moments that I 92 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:30.759 can recall, like big suckouts or anything like that. Pretty slow, methodical, 93 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:36.279 I guess, I'll say final table definitely a talking point 94 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.480 that that we'll get into in a minute. But I 95 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.240 do want to throw to Natalie Bodie, who's back with 96 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.800 us for bits and pieces of this summer. She was 97 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.079 on set doing the sideline recording while Jeff and Brent 98 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.839 were in the booth, and she caught up with Antonio 99 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.199 the winner afterwards. So let's go throw it to Natalie 100 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.639 right now, and then we will come on back. Congratulates 101 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.959 very tough final table as always at the World Series 102 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.360 of Poker. What did it take with this group to 103 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.759 be the last one standing today? 104 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.399 Oh, it's amazing. I mean, I won't blily last year 105 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.399 when it came to Vega say, we was like, okay, 106 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:21.519 don't expect anything like that. First event, I play and 107 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.600 I and I win it. So it's so sick. 108 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.360 Quite the start to the summer for you. You mentioned 109 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.040 you want a bracelet before. Now it's your second. 110 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.360 What will this World Series of Poker bracelet me into you? 111 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.959 Well, I mean, uhl, a bracelet. It is something I'm 112 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:42.959 trying to collect. So that's all. It's a happy and 113 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:44.519 that's it basically. 114 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:49.600 All right. That was Natalie with Antonio Galliana. Again, congratulations 115 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.639 to Galliana. Just absolutely crushing. You heard it in the interview. 116 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.160 There his first tournament of the year and he just 117 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.879 rips it off. Sorry of the of the diversity of 118 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.560 the divasit he just rips it off with a win. 119 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.839 Thought he played extremely well, took the chip lead pretty 120 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.560 early on. At the final table, Christian Roberts came in 121 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.199 with the chip lead, Galliana took it within the first 122 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.600 few hands and after that it was, you know, kind 123 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.879 of smooth on in a way, a bit of a 124 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.560 cooler at the end against Frederick Norman, but I think 125 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:25.439 not to pull the spotlight away from Galiana. But I 126 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.879 mean the talking point is obviously the pace of play. Yeah, 127 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.920 very very very slow, methodical. There was a thirteen minute 128 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.240 hand at one point. 129 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.040 It must have been a lot of time extensions. 130 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.040 No, I mean we're going to get into that. Also. 131 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.720 I know we're not talking about the five thousand dollars 132 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.680 PLO right now, but I do want to bring it 133 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:48.360 into this conversation for a second because in that tournament, 134 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.439 which had its day three today again Bruno Firth winning it, 135 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.680 and we'll get to that in a little bit, but 136 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.439 the clock was called there repeatedly on Martin Cabrell, so 137 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.279 much so that eventually the floor just stepped in and said, you, sir, 138 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.480 you just have ten seconds to act at all times. 139 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.639 So to you, mister PGT commissioner, you deal a lot 140 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.360 with this stuff. You obviously work a lot with various partners, 141 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.240 most closely with our friends over at Aria, you know, 142 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.199 on pace of play, shot clocks, all that sort of stuff. 143 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.759 I mean, why are there not shot clocks here? It 144 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.160 is It is unreal. 145 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.000 Yeah, shot clocks obviously very complicated. We have been tweaking 146 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:25.920 the rules. 147 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.639 Are they are they really complicated? 148 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.639 Come on, you can just set basic rules and then 149 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.000 they're always getting get tweaked and people choice try and 150 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.240 find the Luke Paul take advantage. 151 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:35.879 Of the rules. 152 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.240 I would say that WSP needs to consider, you know, 153 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:45.480 shot clocks in all their events five thousand above, maybe 154 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.480 excluding the main or I think a very simple solution 155 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:53.200 is all the high rollers and whenever a tournament does 156 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:54.279 that three table redraw. 157 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:54.960 I think that's a. 158 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.759 Fair way to do it, because you do a full redraw, 159 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.559 now the shot clock come in. You know, you can 160 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.279 decide on amount of time extensions, you know, relative to 161 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.840 buying level, and I think it's important for both the 162 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:13.120 TV products but also just you know, does speed up play? 163 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.200 And I think that's a pretty simple rule that could 164 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.840 easily institute next year. 165 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.559 Yeah, I mean, listen, I have to call a spade 166 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.240 a spade what it is here, and I think they're 167 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.320 just behind the ball on this. You know, play clocks 168 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.480 in poker have been around for some time now, and yes, 169 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.000 you know there are some tournaments here right the high 170 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.440 rollers have them. But it needs to be an extension, 171 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.360 you know, and it needs to come into play. I 172 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.360 do like the idea of final three tables. You know, 173 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.519 whether that's twenty four like it would have been this 174 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.639 five K because they were playing eight handed. Whether it's 175 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.799 the final twenty seven, whatever it may be, just implement them, 176 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.120 you know, because now, yes, earlier parts of the tournaments 177 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.200 can obviously drag on without the clocks, of course, but 178 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.039 when you get down to when it's really like all 179 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.919 eyes on me, everyone's kind of looking at at a tournament, 180 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.679 you know, those final stages are when it's likely to 181 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.039 be streamed, so you know you're going to get events 182 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.600 like this that are on the stream. And it's just, 183 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.360 I mean, the public was non stop saying like this 184 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.320 is too slow, this is too slow, this is too slow. 185 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.519 At one point you had Frederick Norman on the river 186 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.559 tanking for like eight or nine minutes, like it was 187 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.159 just it was unreal how slow it was going. And 188 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.360 you know, Jeff and Brent in the booth were they 189 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.399 brought it up every time they could, and I think, 190 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.360 you know, kind of rightfully so that they were pointing 191 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.320 it out over and over again. Now, I understand that 192 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.679 there's a ton of money at stake, and I understand 193 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.159 you want to think every decision through and all that 194 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.080 sort of stuff, but I think a lot of the 195 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.080 clocks that are put into play these days, whether it 196 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.399 be on the PGT, whether it be the Triton stuff, 197 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:57.480 whether it be WPT whatever, maybe they're pretty fair overall, 198 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.639 like nothing super fast. You know, if you want super 199 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.519 fast play, you go to Playboovergua dot com. That's where 200 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.320 you go. But if you want you know, fair play 201 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.320 with enough decisions, time extensions, all that sort of stuff, 202 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.279 I think I think most of the tournaments have now 203 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.080 like kind of gone through their growing pains and they've 204 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.399 figured out what works best. And I also think that 205 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.720 there are enough players and a large enough percentage of 206 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:26.159 the community has adopted it where it's almost like now 207 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.519 people see something like what happened today and they're like, wait, 208 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.559 there's no clocks, you know, so it's it's it's time, 209 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.480 you know, it's time. And I would guess that you 210 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.279 could just put it right into the WSP plus app 211 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.320 and it could just function right in there. 212 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.200 Well, it's already on the on the table. 213 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.600 Well then let's go what are we doing? And I 214 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.799 also think that listen, I know you don't want to 215 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.720 change things mid series, but I think you should just 216 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:57.600 change its mid series. I think as a community. I 217 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.159 think everyone can agree that would make for a more 218 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.639 entertaining product when it's shown on streams, when it's shown 219 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:09.000 on TV, which is ultimately better for reaching more people 220 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.759 about the game. You know, when people tune in live 221 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.159 poker is pretty boring. Even even with clocks, it can 222 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.440 be pretty boring, right, but at least with clocks it's 223 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.279 a little bit faster. You know, there's that added pressure. 224 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.639 You know, if you do run out of them, then 225 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.480 you're like, oh, I don't have any, like I got 226 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.240 a rerect or, maybe I only have one, you know 227 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.480 that sort of thing. So I definitely think we got 228 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.480 we got to get those added, and I would not 229 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.639 worry at this stage. Again, we are so far into 230 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.919 clocks being a thing in poker and being around for 231 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.440 so long that you know, even players in the six hundred, 232 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.679 like I think, would be fine with it. You know, 233 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.240 there are there are venues all over the place where 234 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.200 you know, you you get them and it can be 235 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.919 you know, it can be any buying. You know, it 236 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.519 doesn't just have to be you know, a twenty five K, 237 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.679 fifty K or whatever it is. So so yeah, I'm 238 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.840 I'm team clock, and we got to get them in there. Again, 239 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.320 it wasn't just an issue in this five K. It 240 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.080 was also an issue or sorry in the five K 241 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.279 No Limit. It was also an issue in the five 242 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:12.919 K PLO, most notably with Martin Cabrell. And again eventually 243 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.639 the floor did step in, and you know, all the 244 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.600 stuff that I was seeing was that he was just 245 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.279 they were like, hey, you got ten seconds act and 246 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:25.759 that's it. But you know, it's kind of in a way, 247 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.519 I mean, what would you say, because isn't he in 248 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.039 his right to take as long as he wants if 249 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.080 there's no clocks exactly? And I understand, I understand if 250 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.519 if it does become egregious, you call the clock, right, 251 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:43.519 but it's like there's no clocks. So I mean, like, 252 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.240 you know, I don't, I don't understand. So so yeah, 253 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.159 so I think you and I both agree something needs 254 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.840 to be done for these tournaments, and we you know, 255 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.759 ultimately it would make for a better product all around, 256 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.600 right and people, you know, tournaments would end faster, people 257 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.080 getting more tournaments, more rake, all that sort of stuff. 258 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:08.960 That's good for the operator. Dan Hi Miller, the legend. 259 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.120 He's done it again, sir, Number three in the bag 260 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.080 for mister high Miller, he'd beat David Bock. David Boch 261 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:20.399 was going for number four. He's back, but it's another 262 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.600 runner up finished for David Boch. This was the fifteen 263 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.120 hundred dollars seven Card stud tournament, Hi Miller taking home 264 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.679 almost one hundred and seven thousand dollars in prize money. 265 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.919 Again he did deny David Bach his fourth Wsop Gold bracelet, 266 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.360 David Boch taking home seventy five hundred and sixty eight dollars. 267 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.440 Then you had Tyler Phillips in third place, Yuri Merriverda 268 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.120 in fourth place. I probably butchered that name. I'm sorry, Yuri. 269 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:52.200 He took home thirty three thousand dollars, Menkey Chen twenty 270 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.320 three thousand dollars, Christian Lord sixteen point eight, Sam Harrelmeo 271 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.320 twelve four hundred and Greg Mueller. Greg Muller. I didn't 272 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.360 think played that many tournaments these days, but on the 273 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.879 golf calls and yeah exactly. But he's I mean, he's 274 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:08.879 you know, a couple of days in, he's already firing, 275 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.879 he's already making a deep run. Eighth place here nine 276 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:16.600 thousand and four and ninety dollars for mister FBT. I 277 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.639 mean pretty crazy for high Miller. I saw some like 278 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.240 crazy stats on poker news, just like he's cash and 279 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.799 like every single w SIP since like ninety seven or 280 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.799 something like that, Like Dan Hi, Miller is one of 281 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:36.480 poker's most most treasured characters. Just an absolute I say, 282 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.639 wacko endearing, you know, because he has a bit of 283 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.799 a whacko. Yeah, but somehow, some way always gets it done. 284 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.080 I don't really understand, but it happens. And here he 285 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.840 is getting it done again for his third WSFP goal 286 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.879 bracelet in the fifteen dollars seven card set. I mean, listen, 287 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.919 don't don't rule it out. 288 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.399 That he win another one. 289 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:05.200 Stan himel He's probably gonna final table the senior. 290 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.960 He's gonna win. He's gonna win the seniors event and 291 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:07.799 then win the seniors. 292 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.720 I I mean, I really wouldn't doubt it at all. Okay, 293 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.440 let's move on. Bruno Firth, Caleb Firth, what is he 294 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:16.759 to you? 295 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:17.919 Bruno? 296 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.440 He's Bruno, Yeah, he's Bruno. Come on, he's Bruno. We 297 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.200 don't talk about Bruno. Bruno Firth wins five thousand dollars 298 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:31.200 PLO his second w SPIGO bracelet, like Antonio Galiana, who 299 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.879 won one this year and then won one last year. 300 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.840 Bruno also won one last year. Last year he won 301 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.279 a he was a pilo hilo fifteen hundred was it? 302 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.279 I can't remember the buying, but it was a pilohilo. 303 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.039 This year he won the five K POO for six 304 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.120 hundred and twenty thousand big Ones tops a field of 305 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:55.799 seven hundred and fifty seven entries. Uh Fabian rebu Schmitt tells, 306 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.879 I probably completely messed up that last name. I'm sorry. 307 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.600 Fabian h four hundred and thirteen thousand dollars for him. 308 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.519 Martin Cabrell, who we already talked about a little bit. 309 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.039 He ended up riding out his run to third place, 310 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.599 to turning eighty eight k. Matthew Cozentino two hundred four thousand, 311 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:16.440 Mark our Ridges one hundred and forty seven thousand. Noel Rodriguez, 312 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.079 who finished was it second to Nick Schulman of the 313 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.519 twenty five k last year, one hundred and eight thousand 314 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:26.920 dollars for Noel, Jeremy Trogan eight six hundred dollars and 315 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.880 Lawrence Brandt sixty one, one hundred and seventy nine dollars. 316 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.759 I am horrible at names and I should have prepared them, 317 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.759 but I didn't. We had a fun little chat with 318 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.599 Bruno Firth after he won. He always brings the style. 319 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.839 You and I both know. He's in the studio plenty today. Yeah, 320 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.480 crazy wig. I mean it was so good that many 321 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:48.079 times I was staring at it trying to figure out 322 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.480 if that was his real hair or not. Certainly, you know, 323 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.799 it certainly looked like a wig, right, And we know 324 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:59.519 he likes to wear crazy hats, you know, hairdos wigs whatever. Yeah, 325 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.160 different literally, like different shoes, like you'll have one shoe 326 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.799 that's like from one pair, of one shoe that's from 327 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.039 another pair, like completely different, like one will be Nike, 328 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.680 want toll be Adidas whatever. He had a gold chain 329 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:12.000 with a with a dollar sign on it, you know. 330 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.759 So yeah, Bruno is always, always fun, always stylish, and 331 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.279 we were able to chat with him afterwards. So here 332 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:20.720 is that interview with Bruno Firth. 333 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.720 Yeah, started the day below average stack with eleven players left. 334 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.279 When there were ten players left at the EIGHTYK big 335 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.839 Land level chip and a chair literal one chip and 336 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.559 a chair. During one hundred K chop, that pot to 337 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.119 double up and then doubled up three more times pretty quickly. 338 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.759 I can't believe it. The roller coaster day, I was 339 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.680 short again later, unbelievable. What was it like playing with 340 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.799 Martin Caburu? Are you kidding me? 341 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.799 We called the floor literally fifty times on the guy. 342 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.319 There's a waste of time for everyone playing and the 343 00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:58.519 employees at WSOP. 344 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:00.839 I play a lot of cash. 345 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.319 Games, and I think the general table vibe at PLO 346 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:05.680 tables is just so much better than it is a 347 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:11.000 no limit tables. My theory is that people get used 348 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:13.920 to losing very quickly at PLO, like you could be 349 00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.480 a favorite, but you're never really that big of a favorite. 350 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.640 You don't get in like aces versus underpair situations like 351 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.519 you do and hold them where people like to complain 352 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.720 when they lose, like, yeah, okay, you lost, We get it. 353 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.039 Everyone loses when you gamble like it's so. 354 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.759 I think the PLO players get that and that so 355 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.039 when play some players lose, the table vibe doesn't change 356 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.640 at all. People don't get grumpy, they're okay with it, grafinitely. 357 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:48.640 Thank you. Oh I mean normal clothes all right? That 358 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.039 was Bruno Firth and you heard the story Chip and 359 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.440 a chair baby. He was down to one hundred K. 360 00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:58.720 I believe it was eighty k. Big Blind when there 361 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:02.759 were two tables left, obviously spun it up from there 362 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.839 and ended up in the winner circle. The guy loves PLO. 363 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:08.759 You know, you don't really see him too much outside 364 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.079 of the PLO streets. But if it's a PGT PLO series, 365 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.640 if it's a PLO cash game, you know, if it's 366 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.480 playing in Bobby's room over at Blagio, if it's a 367 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.279 PLO event here at the series, you know, if it's 368 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.119 got PLO on it likely Bruno Firth is in the field. 369 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:29.319 Now let's get into the mystery. Millions, Sir, gigantic, Like 370 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:34.079 I said, gigantic turnout for this final flight. I believe 371 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:36.400 yesterday I said eighty two hundred to eighty. 372 00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.240 Three hundred spot on naota. 373 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:40.960 I mean it wasn't It wasn't a spot on nail. 374 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.960 It was pretty close though. Today came in for the 375 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.960 final flight. Day one e eight thousand, one hundred and 376 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.799 eighteen entries brings the total field size up to nineteen thousand, 377 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.720 five hundred and eighty nine. Last year was eighteen thousand, 378 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.119 four hundred and nine, So that means that this year's 379 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:03.960 field is plus eleven hundred and eighty entries from last year. Now, 380 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.359 they did add a flight. Last year was four flights, 381 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.720 this year was five flights, and it's pretty much that 382 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:13.079 that additional flight is the difference, because again plus eleven 383 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.640 hundred and eighty and then last year or sorry this 384 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.279 year in the opening flight was thirteen hundred and twenty nine, 385 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.960 so you know, right around that opening flight is what 386 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.759 did it. But tremendous turnout. Again, I gotta give them 387 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.160 kudos for the fact that I didn't really hear anything today, 388 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:30.839 you know in terms of like, oh my god, we 389 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.200 gotta play ten handed, Oh my god, the lines are ridiculous, Like, yeah, 390 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.279 there were some some weight you know, I heard from 391 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:39.839 some friends or whatnot from late red stuff, but nothing 392 00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:43.599 super egregious. I mean, I think, all things considered, when 393 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.000 the field size comes in at over eighty one hundred entries, 394 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.640 you're gonna have some waiting, You're gonna have a little 395 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.480 bit of delays. But all in all, you know, kudos 396 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.680 to the WSP for cramming this in there. It didn't 397 00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.559 It definitely didn't seem you and I walked around a 398 00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:01.240 bit today. It did not seem like there was an 399 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.599 eighty one hundred entry field there, which means that it 400 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:05.920 was a good thing. Yeah. The one time that I 401 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:07.440
