00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,359
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,839
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. It is Tuesday,

3
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,120
July fourteenth, one twenty two in the morning. The WSOP

4
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,600
Main Event final table is set. Nine players are made,

5
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:36,079
nine millionaires remain with ten million dollars up top. That's

6
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:41,240
what we're going to be talking about today. You absolutely

7
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:44,520
love to see it. Just an awesome day of poker

8
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:49,439
down at Paris on the Las Vegas Strip. The original

9
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,320
field nine two and eight entries has been cut all

10
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:57,479
the way down to just nine players. I absolutely cannot

11
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,520
wait to tell you about the day that that was

12
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:06,079
At the World Series of Poker, twenty one players entered

13
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,680
what was day eight, Only nine were left standing when

14
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,599
it was all said and done, So that's gonna be

15
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:19,480
the bulk of this episode. We got several different interview

16
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,680
segments that we're going to be playing along the way.

17
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:24,560
Some happen throughout the day that will work in to

18
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,480
the story as we run through it. Some took place

19
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,760
at the end of the day after the players reached

20
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:32,400
the final table and bagged up their chips. But all

21
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:36,359

game of poker Go. Day eight of the World Series

34
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,400
of Poker Main Event. I said twenty one players entered,

35
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:27,800
and they did, but only nine of them remained at

36
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,240
the end of it all. The youngster Lucas Jumalan, he

37
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:37,120
had himself a day. He has a massive shout out,

38
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960
massive chip lead entering what I guess some people are

39
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,960
calling the August Nine. I kind of hate that name.

40
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,400
I don't want to call it that. Let's just call

41
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,400
it the Final Table. The Final Nine now have a

42
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,759
few weeks off before they return to play on August.

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,360
Third down at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas. The main

44
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,319
event took place, or at least the bulk of it

45
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:00,719
took place on these latter days. At Paris. They are

46
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:04,360
currently breaking down the set, the production team, the team

47
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,280
at B fifty two.

48
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: All of that.

49
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:11,159
Speaker 1: As I was leaving Paris earlier in the evening, they

50
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,199
were breaking everything down and getting everything ready to move

51
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,960
it over to the Horseshoe side. They're gonna set it

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,319
all back up. Players are going to come back on

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,759
August third. August third, fourth, and fifth is when the

54
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,800
final table is going to play out. Entering the day,

55
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,120
Malcolm Trainor, the young upcoming Ozzie who has been absolutely

56
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:35,280
lighting the poker world on fire for the past two years,

57
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,280
he came in with the chip lead and let's just

58
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,159
start things right there. Because Remco caught up with Malcolm

59
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,439
Trainor early on to talk about having the chip lead

60
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:47,639
in this spot, his approach, how he's gonna go about it.

61
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,319
So let's hear from Malcolm Trainer right now.

62
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:54,039
Speaker 3: And Malcolm, what's it like to have all eyes of

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,280
the poker world on you right now?

64
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:57,639
Speaker 4: It's amazing. Yeah, I'm very blessed.

65
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: A lot of Australia is like, my message is absolutely flooded,

66
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,479
hundreds of messages. I can't believe it when I want

67
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:04,800
to brace it. In twenty twenty four, I had a

68
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800
lot of messages, but this is just the next level,

69
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:08,240
so it's unbelievable.

70
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:10,319
Speaker 2: Is the experience also next level?

71
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

72
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:16,439
Speaker 5: It's much more significant than the last Bracelet run and

73
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,360
the vibe of everything, the chanting going on. It's really

74
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,160
a different experience and I'm just trying to soak it

75
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:24,240
all in and I enjoy it while I can't.

76
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: What makes you ready for this moment?

77
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,199
Speaker 4: I mean my experience in the past.

78
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 5: I've played a lot of online tournaments, so I feel

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560
like I have a lot more experience than most people do,

80
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,720
even if they're older.

81
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,439
Speaker 4: I feel like I've put in the volume.

82
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:39,399
Speaker 5: I've also been in a lot of deep runs for

83
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,079
a million up top many times before.

84
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 4: So there'll be some people out there with more experience,

85
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,800
like Ensign, who has you know.

86
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 5: Played with ten miler the top, But I feel like,

87
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:50,199
you know, I'm one of the top three or four

88
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,639
people who have played, you know, the most money.

89
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 6: I guess.

90
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: As far as what's coming now, this final phase to

91
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,199
the final table. Yeah, what's your approach and how do

92
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,240
you think it's going to play out?

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: It's really hard to say. I'm just gonna play my game.

94
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I don't want to leak too much strategy

95
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:09,319
is the thing. I don't want to leak too much strategy.

96
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:11,519
But yeah, I'm just gonna keep doing what I've been

97
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,680
doing as the chip leader. I won't be doing many

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,720
two out of line things, but I'll just try and be.

99
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,199
Speaker 4: Aggressive and I'll try and you know, I always like

100
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,519
trying to make people sweat, but I'm making people sweat.

101
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:24,399
I'm doing something a right.

102
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: Final question, what's it like to be Chippler in the

103
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,920
main on the eight unbelievable.

104
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,319
Speaker 4: It hasn't really sunk in yet.

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 5: I'm just kind of just treating it, trying to keep

106
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:35,000
it like a regular pokesord it in my head, while

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,680
at the same time it's like an awesome experience, but

108
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,759
I'm just trying to like keep that mental.

109
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: Yeah level.

110
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: So that was Malcolm Trainer. I love to hear that

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,240
sort of approach, you know, that sort of mentality from

112
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,560
the kid. He's only twenty six years old, but you

113
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,560
can just tell that he's a very thoughtful, insightful, intelligent

114
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,480
person and that obviously translates to his play. I think

115
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,319
Malcolm Tranner has played extremely well throughout this tournament. Of course,

116
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,720
yes he got lucky in some spots, but that's tournament poker.

117
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,560
You have to get lucky in some spots and it

118
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,040
does help when you push the envelope as the aggressor

119
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:18,079
and you're able to take those shots. So he's the

120
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,319
chip leader coming into today. And of course we have

121
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,519
talked about it in the past that that doesn't necessarily

122
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,560
guarantee you anything. And I did say on the last

123
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,920
episode that I thought Malcolm Trainor was gonna make it

124
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:31,120
to this final table. Well, you know, hate to break

125
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,839
it to you guys, but spoiler alert, he didn't. But

126
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,319
we'll get into what happened and where he fell as

127
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,959
we go on. But things started with a bang on

128
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:45,439
day eight on the first hand delt Or at their table,

129
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:52,079
Finland's Laurie Shascalatti doubled, he jammed or sorry, he three

130
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,680
bets from the Big Blind versus Lucas Jumalan's open on

131
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,240
the button. Jumlan had king four of clubs saske he

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,759
had ace king off Juma Lan went for the four

133
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:07,199
bet jam Sasculotti called and the ace king held from

134
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,399
there to give Sasclotti the double up. Then more fireworks

135
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,480
were had when we had a giant three way all

136
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,360
in clash between Todd Brunson, brock Wilson and Malcolm Trainer.

137
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:23,879
Brunson had ace king of diamonds, brock Wilson had pocket

138
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:28,000
kings and Trainer had pocket queens. So of course big

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,519
hands like this, the money is likely going to get

140
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:34,240
in the flop comes eight deuce deuice. There's a single

141
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:36,439
diamond on the flop, nine of diamonds on the turn,

142
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,959
so Brunson can now hit an ace or he can

143
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,800
hit a diamond. Well, the river was an ace. I

144
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:44,480
believe it was the ace of spades, so that allowed

145
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,240
Todd Brunson to triple up. Now Wilson did win the

146
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:53,160
side pot against Trainer with his kings beating Trainers queens,

147
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,720
so he basically stayed even on the hand. I think

148
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,199
he went into it with a little bit over fifteen

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,920
million and that's what he left coming out of it.

150
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,600
And then Trainer was clipped some Trainer still was very

151
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:06,920
healthy after the hand, but you know it obviously does

152
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,000
hurt to lose chips like that. Then we had our

153
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,000
first bust out of the day and that was Dylan Smith.

154
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,079
He went out in twenty first place for three hundred

155
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,800
and twenty five thousand dollars. You know, Dylan hung around,

156
00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:21,879
hung around, hung around. I talked about in the last

157
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:25,959
episode how he was really valuing his tournament life. Ultimately

158
00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:28,680
he did find a spot to get all in with Asjack.

159
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:32,600
He got all in against Jumalan King Queen of Diamonds.

160
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,200
It was running diamonds to give Jumalan a flush, and

161
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,039
that kote Dylan Smith in twenty first place. Then you

162
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,120
had what I think is probably the pot of the

163
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,519
day when you think about how everything then played out

164
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,320
from there on out, because we had an enormous double

165
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:59,519
up for the kid for Jumalan against the popular possibly

166
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,159
arising to an extent colorful. Certainly, Will gibbins Jumalan out

167
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,639
of the small blind raised a little bit over three

168
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,759
x with Ace ten off. Gibvens made it nine point

169
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,320
six X from the big blind with Ace Queen Off.

170
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:17,600
So Ace Queen Off dominating the Ace ten off for Jumalan.

171
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,399
Jumalan responds with a jam he piles all in from

172
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,120
more than forty three big blinds. Gibvens calls it off,

173
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,519
has his man dominated, but the ten to ten four

174
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:36,000
flop smashes Jumalan. The turns a blank to leave Gibbons

175
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,360
drawing dead. And that was the hand that gave Jumalan

176
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,519
in enormous chip stack. It left Gibvens not out of

177
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,360
the tournament just yet. He did have a few big

178
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:51,519
blinds left, but I mean, holy hell, that was that

179
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,480
was a hand that was an absolute freaking hand from there,

180
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,399
you know, Givens did get a double up at one point,

181
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,799
and then Todd Brunson went out and twentieth place. He

182
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,360
got his money in a really good spot. He had aces,

183
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,519
he had red aces. It was against Malcolm Trainer. I

184
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,519
believe it was Brunson opening trainer defending from the big

185
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:14,799
blind if I remember correctly. It was eight three deuce

186
00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:18,159
with two clubs. Trainer had ace jack of clubs. I

187
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,200
think he check called the flop, did trainer, and then

188
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,960
the turn was a jack. So now he's got a

189
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,519
pair of jack's top top kicker and the nut flush

190
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,720
draw and he checked jams. Brunson calls it off, rivers

191
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:33,120
the four of clubs, and we say goodbye to Todd Brunson.

192
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,919
Then after that Givens, you know, he held on for

193
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,519
as long as he could, ultimately fell in nineteenth place,

194
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,840
also taking home three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

195
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:46,759
And it was Jumalan who ultimately did Givens in King

196
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:50,200
jack Off for Givens, ju Milan's got pocket aces.

197
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:53,159
Speaker 2: So it did come.

198
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,639
Speaker 1: Given said King jack Off with the jack of clubs.

199
00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:00,399
It came Queen ten eight, I think all club but

200
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,200
the ace of clubs did belong to Jumalan, so he

201
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,320
needed the nin o'clubs, did Givens. If you wanted to

202
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,159
make that flush, it would have been a straight flush,

203
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,360
but ultimately bricks out and we lose Givens in nineteenth

204
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,840
place for three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. And

205
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:19,360
then to close the book on Will Gibbins's run in

206
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:22,879
the twenty twenty sixth WICIP main event, Remco caught up

207
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:25,240
with him on the floor and here is that conversation

208
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:27,039
for you guys right now.

209
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,919
Speaker 2: Well, what's on your mind?

210
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,399
Speaker 3: After all this went down so close to the dream man.

211
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 7: Uh, there's a lot on my mind.

212
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,639
Speaker 8: I just had two interviews from now after just talking

213
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:45,159
about it over and over. It's it's bigger than my emotions,

214
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,919
is you know what I'm saying, Like my emotions telling

215
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:48,759
me it's okay, you go, You'll you'll get it.

216
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 7: You know you're gonna make millions. I already see it.

217
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,159
But everybody's like, oh, how you feel being so close?

218
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 8: And isn't this I really go none when I'm in

219
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,519
the like when I'm in the battlefield, so like, I

220
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:02,039
don't have the emotion and that's what keeps me so killed.

221
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:06,120
And so the emotion hasn't took over me yet. Maybe

222
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:07,960
when I'm in the bed and I wake up and

223
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
I look at it and I see the equity and

224
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:12,480
how much it was, and yeah, man, maybe I'll feel

225
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,279
and I'll be at my own piece, I mean, my

226
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,759
own serenity, and who knows what I'll do.

227
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,879
Speaker 7: But I'm still happy and blessed to be here.

228
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 8: Like I said, I was ben one. I registered on

229
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,879
day two two, so I come in.

230
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:30,519
Speaker 4: Super late three.

231
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 9: This is day eight. Blessed.

232
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 8: I have nothing else to complain about. I mean, suck

233
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,039
Off's happened to suck off could have happened on day

234
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,919
two when I registered at sixteen, know what I mean?

235
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 7: Super late.

236
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 8: So I gotta look at it as the glasses half full,

237
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,360
not half dificy.

238
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 7: That's how I live my life anyway. It's all about

239
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,600
a perspective.

240
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: Talk to me about the support you received both on

241
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,039
the rail. I can imagine your social media blowing up.

242
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,159
Speaker 2: Bro, what's it been like?

243
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,639
Speaker 7: Nonstopping?

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 8: People think that I'm ignoring them, And She's like, y'all

245
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,600
don't understand.

246
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 7: Y'all don't understand.

247
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 8: I'm getting messages left right, cauls left right, texts like

248
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:09,200
I love it. But when I'm in this zone, I can't.

249
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,240
I can't use the energy that way. My energy gotta

250
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,200
be like aligned in here. I love it, first of all.

251
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,879
I love I love it when people I feel like

252
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:21,960
they take it. They get sensitive when I get into this,

253
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,960
this warrior zone, you know what I'm saying, And they

254
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:31,360
just don't understand somebody out there fighting up a knife fight.

255
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 7: You ain't gonna be like, hey man, what's up? And

256
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,240
he's fighting.

257
00:13:34,519 --> 00:13:36,799
Speaker 8: No, let him focus on it, you know what I'm saying.

258
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:39,879
That's how I just go into this killer be killed mode.

259
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,679
And once I'm in that mold don't talk to me.

260
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,720
I love you, but that's no disrespect to anybody. I'm

261
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,120
not saying no topic cause I like, but I just

262
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:49,600
I just.

263
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,399
Speaker 7: Go into this mode.

264
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,879
Speaker 6: Bro, I can't explain it. I just go by.

265
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 7: I go into a different, different zone.

266
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 8: And and because I'm in that zone, it's messed me

267
00:13:58,639 --> 00:13:59,600
up in reality.

268
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,759
Speaker 7: And I've talked to somebody else about this before.

269
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,799
Speaker 8: Relationships suck for me because if me and this girl breakup,

270
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,600
I don't care go poker has like so I try

271
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:11,279
to like balance it, like, Okay, will you gotta realize

272
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,320
you gotta have emotion because this type of stuff right here,

273
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:17,799
if your emotions is too high, you'll be down there crying.

274
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,799
So you got to so you have to cut it

275
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,440
off so you don't feel it so you can be

276
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,320
ready for the next one and be.

277
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. I don't know, man, I'm

278
00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:27,759
just rambling. I'm just saying.

279
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,039
Speaker 2: I got one more for you.

280
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,679
Speaker 3: If people watch this and feel inspired by the way

281
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,000
you play, the way you act, the things you say,

282
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
what's the message you would like to give to them

283
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,240
their for chasing their dreams.

284
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 9: Be yourself.

285
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,759
Speaker 7: I'll never change from nobody else. Be humble. See people

286
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:48,919
don't know. I'm very thankful for everything.

287
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 8: You know, Like, don't never be too big, like to

288
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:53,720
where like you forget.

289
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,039
Speaker 9: Who you are.

290
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,679
Speaker 8: Always keep an identity, Always trust your gut, never quit,

291
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:05,120
never quit. Yeah, and uh, never look too far ahead.

292
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,960
Stay in a moment. You know, nothing is built overnight.

293
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,240
That's worth, that's that's that's here still, you know what

294
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,000
I'm saying. So just stay in the moment, and uh,

295
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:19,000
don't let anybody tell you what your vision is.

296
00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:20,799
Speaker 7: Hold on to your own vision.

297
00:15:21,759 --> 00:15:23,799
Speaker 8: When you when you're telling people and they knocking you

298
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:25,720
and they're telling you that you can't do this or whatever,

299
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,440
all you gonna do is get discouraged, keep it to yourself,

300
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:31,480
lock in tunnel vision and.

301
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 6: Keep it moving.

302
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,639
Speaker 1: So that was Will Givings on his way out the door.

303
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:51,159
I would say to him, you know, hold your head high.

304
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,039
You got your money in an absolutely incredible spot and

305
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,279
the deck just didn't favor you. Which it sucks, of course,

306
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,000
it absolutely sucks, but still a great run for Will

307
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:04,080
gives three hundred and twenty five K in the bank.

308
00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:07,799
Believe he cashed overall at this World Series of Poker

309
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:12,039
for more than five hundred maybe six hundred thousand dollars total.

310
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,360
He had that one final table in the PLO, he

311
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:16,240
had another deep run of the Millionaire Maker, and then

312
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,000
of course he has the very deep run here in

313
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,840
the WISP main event, down to eighteen players, down to

314
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:28,080
two tables. Thomas Klack bus in eighteenth place for three

315
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,600
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. He flopped two pair

316
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,600
on the ace ten to five board in a three

317
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,039
way pot, but Hossin Enson, the twenty nineteen champion of

318
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,759
this very event, making another run. He turned a better

319
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,519
two pair with ace seven, A seven hit the turn,

320
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,360
the money goes in, and that was all she wrote

321
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:53,919
for Thomas Klack. That hand and that pot put Enson

322
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,200
up to sixty six million, And at this stage, you know,

323
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,600
it really did start to look like En going to

324
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,480
just absolutely cruise his way to another disipy main event

325
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,920
final label in the modern era and have a shot

326
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:14,160
at winning poker's greatest tournament once again, which would have

327
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,559
been absolutely freaking outrageous if that were to be the case.

328
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,880
You know that that was like to me, that was

329
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,440
the headlining story. You know, is he going to do

330
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,759
it again? We've seen many deep runs from previous champions.

331
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:30,599
You know, we've seen many close calls to winning it again.

332
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,440
I think Joe Katta doing it in what was it

333
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,799
it was he won it in two thousand and nine,

334
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,440
and then in twenty eighteen, I think he got fifth place.

335
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,440
You know, that was an absolutely incredible run by him,

336
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,480
and then crazy stuff. But in the two thousand and

337
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:49,200
what was it eighteen when he got fifth and he

338
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:52,599
just goes on to then enter the closer and just wins.

339
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,759
That just just wild stuff there from Joe Kada. But

340
00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:57,799
you know that's the type of levels that we're talking

341
00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:00,680
about with with hosting Enson making this run here and

342
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,720
you know we're down to the file two tables. He's

343
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:05,480
super healthy on chips, he looks locked in, he looks

344
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:08,440
in the zone. He's getting a lot of hands too,

345
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,160
which helps of course, yes, and it's like, okay, here

346
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,440
we go. He's gonna freaking do it. So after we

347
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,000
lose Clack, we lose Romayne Lewis in seventeenth place. He

348
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:22,440
four bet jammed with pocket kings only to run smack

349
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,680
into Greg Mueller's aces bricks out for Lewis. He's out

350
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,920
the door in seventeenth for four hundred and ten k

351
00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:34,079
and then we lost brock Wilson in sixteenth place. Now

352
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:36,319
I do have to rewind quickly to the hand where

353
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:38,680
it was the three way all in between Brunson, Wilson,

354
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:44,640
and trainer. You could get the sense that Wilson thought

355
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,559
he lost the hand completely and that he was out.

356
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,720
Like the way that he reacted when that river cart

357
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:52,359
hit it certainly looked like he might have been out

358
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,000
of the tournament. But he wasn't out of the tournament.

359
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:58,559
He regrouped, you know, he got back together or whatever,

360
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,519
you know, collected himself and then he was going on

361
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:06,160
to fight on. But ultimately his run did end in

362
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,319
sixteenth place. Also four hundred and ten thousand dollars for him.

363
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,160
Pretty sick way to go to. Daniel Savas opened on

364
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,880
the button with nine eight of hearts. Brock Wilson jammed

365
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,720
twelve and a half big lines from the big line

366
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:23,079
with King jack Off. Savas got a count, took some time,

367
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,880
and then made the call with the nine eight of hearts.

368
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,839
So six spot. When you see that call from your opponent,

369
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,720
because he's got a good hand that's plenty live up

370
00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:35,319
against your hand, it comes ten nine to six favoring

371
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,480
service and then just bricks out for Wilson and he's

372
00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:41,680
out the door, but nevertheless a very good run for

373
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:48,000
Brock Wilson. After that, we saw Michael Gagliano aka Gags.

374
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:51,680
He doubled through Sean Deep tens versus Ash jack Off,

375
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,599
and then we later lost Sean Deep. You know, he

376
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,519
got down kind of shortish after losing that flip to Gagliano.

377
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,720
Pretty standard flip. You know, money just goes in one

378
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:05,720
one's gotta win, one's gotta lose. Deep gets down, he

379
00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:08,400
kind of fights back up, but then ultimately he goes

380
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,279
out in fifteenth, also taking four hundred and ten thousand dollars.

381
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,160
His hand was it was a three way pot to

382
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:19,759
the Queen five to four rainbow flop. Deeb Alex to

383
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
check Jam over a bet from Rami Hamoud. Hamoud calls

384
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,720
with Ace Queen top hair, top kicker, Deeb's got seven

385
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:30,839
to six for the open ender. No help comes for

386
00:20:31,079 --> 00:20:33,640
Sean Deeb and he's out the door trying to get

387
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,400
into the next tournament because all he cares about is

388
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,519
Player of the Year. Remko also caught up with Sean

389
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:43,680
Deeb after he was done doing some other interviews and

390
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:47,079
getting through his main event run. Talk to him about

391
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,359
getting knocked out his run in this tournament, and then

392
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,440
what's next for deep in the Player of the Year chase.

393
00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,359
So here is that interview with Remco and Sean deeb

394
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,119
right now.

395
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,759
Speaker 2: So what's next? What can you register for?

396
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 10: I readistered for the fifth twenty five K Horse, but

397
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:04,319
I realized that I probably should play the five hundred

398
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:07,160
Summer Saver first because register closing in seven minutes. So

399
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,720
I'm gonna click register there, hop in that one first,

400
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,640
and then go to the Horse.

401
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 6: After at anybody at any playing for you.

402
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,559
Speaker 10: Know, ten million dollars and I go play a five

403
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:18,160
dollars tournament. I just love poker. I love the World Series.

404
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,119
And my table's gonna laugh when they see me, and

405
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,039
they're gonna be like, aren't you in the main I'm like, yeah,

406
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:24,519
I'll just tell them multi tabling to fuck with them

407
00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:24,960
a little bit.

408
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, the delay wouldn't even have caught up yet.

409
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, you'd be showing up there.

410
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 10: They're gonna get a spoiler and they're gonna be so dejected.

411
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,519
But obviously I'm coming in with like ten big blinds

412
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:37,119
in a five tournament, but I'll probably bag Chipley didn't that,

413
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,799
and that that'll be you know what I did tomorrow.

414
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,759
Speaker 3: So your mindset throughout this tournament seems so chill, so relaxed.

415
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:44,799
I know that that's what you're always like, but do

416
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:47,119
you think that it's carried you in a way also

417
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,680
against the opposition, perhaps freaking him out a little bit.

418
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 10: I think they were burning a lot of extra energy

419
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,319
with their stress level, their adrenaline bumping. I was getting

420
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,640
seven eight hours of sleep at night, totally relaxed all in,

421
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,759
heart rate was nothing. You know, I'm not emotional that

422
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:02,519
I wasn't treating the spot like too big. I was

423
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:05,240
just playing, you know, poker with my ability, and I

424
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,039
don't think I don't think everyone in that field would

425
00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:09,440
raise call the h jack I did. I think it's

426
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,319
a good call. And you know, I played a few

427
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:13,799
spots for chippyv over icm. You know, the King four

428
00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:15,920
off call for five bigs, and there's a couple other

429
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,240
spots like I'm linning increase variance, especially versus better players

430
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,440
and the good players in the field, and that's my style.

431
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,640
And sometimes I get all the chips and sometimes I

432
00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:27,799
bust and I'm content with that, and that's been my

433
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,160
career and I'm nothing's going to change.

434
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:32,279
Speaker 2: You chase the accolade of winning POY.

435
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:35,519
Speaker 3: Obviously that's a huge thing, a huge operation, but you

436
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:38,079
never seem to talk about the prestige that could have

437
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,279
been in the main event.

438
00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: They give a banner for that thing too, you know,

439
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,720
I trust me.

440
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:44,799
Speaker 10: I had thought about winning the Main, getting like so

441
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,319
many POY points and being the first person at four banners.

442
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,319
I was aware, you know, and I know mers. I

443
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:52,000
think Merson's only one who double one the Main and POY.

444
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,559
But you know, there's always other times, and I know

445
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,119
that the stamina of the Main I'm capable of having

446
00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:00,960
because I'm here fifty dights, like on the same sleep schedule,

447
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,000
the same work schedule, every day, like every day of

448
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,480
the summer.

449
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 6: These guys are coming out here.

450
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,319
Speaker 10: They don't play a term, so the first one they play,

451
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,160
they're not used to showing up every day and going

452
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:08,519
to work.

453
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 6: And I am I could I.

454
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 10: Could do this for another six months straight, you know,

455
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:13,839
the World Series of eight months. My wife would divorce me,

456
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,559
but I would still be here, you know, playing every day,

457
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:17,039
every event.

458
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 3: Final question. The main gets so much extra attention. What

459
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:23,079
has it been like to be in the middle of that.

460
00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 10: Well, I'm gonna pull a phil helmet at the name drop.

461
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: It was pretty awesome.

462
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,559
Speaker 10: Every day Kevin Pollock's texting me asking what my chips

463
00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:32,839
deck is, trying to get updates. You know, it's cool,

464
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,400
you know, meeting celebrities, knowing that they want to be

465
00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:38,519
doing what I do, and just so much support. I

466
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:41,200
have a great circle of friends, all Team Lucky, you know,

467
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,240
and have everyone else behind me.

468
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 6: It's great.

469
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 10: I love, you know, fans asking for photos and it's

470
00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:51,920
just it's cool. Treating poker has made me a celebrity

471
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,480
and poker, but I'm also humble in some ways. I'm

472
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,920
not humble in a lot of ways, but there's a

473
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:57,759
couple I still.

474
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: Am so Sean deep snap into the five hundred dollars

475
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,319
Summer Saver, he's just an absolutely sick individual.

476
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: Busted that and then.

477
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: Hopped into the twenty five k horse that is still running.

478
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,880
I think there's still three tournaments to start too. I

479
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,079
think there's a like a one k or a fifteen hundred.

480
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,799
There's a five k, and then there's the one K

481
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,599
Super Turbo in two days. So it's kind of crazy

482
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,279
to think that the WSOP main event makes the final table.

483
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,640
It feels like the series is done, but it's not.

484
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:32,640
There's still two more full days of action. That's that's

485
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,279
going to be happening at the World Series of Poker.

486
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,079
I'm not sure if I'm going to travel down there.

487
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:39,319
I'm sure I will, I say that, but I'm sure

488
00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:42,559
I'll be down there for something, you know, because if

489
00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:45,359
the WSP is happening and if I can help it,

490
00:24:45,640 --> 00:25:00,839
I'm probably gonna be there. We then we lost Daniel

491
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Salvas in fourteenth place for four hundred and ten thousand dollars.

492
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,240
He first ran pocket tens into Sascolatti's pocket. Jack's pretty

493
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,799
standard hand with the money going in there, and then

494
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:13,000
on the next hand after that he jammed all in

495
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,640
for I think it was a little bit less than

496
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,039
four big lines with nine to six off. Sascolotti finished

497
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,480
him off with ast nine off had him dominated. So

498
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:25,279
we lose Savas to get down to thirteen, and then

499
00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:29,160
this is when we see another big pot go the

500
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,200
way of the kid. I'm gonna call him the kid,

501
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,200
Lucas Jumalan. This time he won a big one off

502
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,119
at the other kid slightly older though Malcolm trainer jacks

503
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:43,240
versus Queen's. So this one came at the five hundred thousand,

504
00:25:43,519 --> 00:25:48,640
one million big blind level. Jumalan raises the button, makes

505
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,799
it two big lines. Trainer three bets from the big

506
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:56,640
blind to nine Biglindes. Jumalan calls in position with the jacks.

507
00:25:56,759 --> 00:26:02,440
It comes ace jack four two diamonds, Trainer best four million.

508
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,599
Jumalan calls turns an ace or sorry in eight off

509
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,920
suit eight. Trainer check calls eight and a half million.

510
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:14,240
Believe the pot now is forty four and a half million,

511
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:17,440
forty five million, something like that. The river's a four

512
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:20,440
pairs the board, so now it's a full house for Jumalan.

513
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,240
Trainer checks. Jumalan goes for thirty five million. Trainer Tanks

514
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,680
ultimately makes the call. He is wrong in trying to

515
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,119
make the hero call here because Jumalan's got the goods

516
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,319
with the full house, and all of a sudden, Lucas

517
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,960
Jumlan is up over one hundred million. He's up to

518
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,960
one hundred and twenty five million and absolutely looking like

519
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,880
he's gonna do the damn thing. Very impressed with Jumalan

520
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,400
throughout much of the play here that we've seen him

521
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,720
in the later stages. Yeah, he's had some stuff that

522
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,559
may have not worked out in his favor, but the

523
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,839
kid is very good. You can tell what he's doing.

524
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,960
He goes for it. He's aggressive, he's fearless, all that

525
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,480
sort of stuff. He's got a little bit of a

526
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,359
bravado about him too, which I do think.

527
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: You have to kind of be.

528
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: Crazy confident when you're getting into these spots, you know,

529
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,279
because you have you do. You have to believe in

530
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:21,480
yourself and you have to believe that you can ultimately

531
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,839
go on to do it. And I think that that

532
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,480
the kid does. I mean, he's got that twenty two

533
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:28,319
year old mindset where I can do anything me against

534
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,960
the world, it doesn't matter. So that's kind of great

535
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,480
to see. So he's cruising here after this pot up

536
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,400
to one hundred and twenty five million. Then we lose

537
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:39,480
what I think was the biggest story left at the time,

538
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:44,680
hosting Enson the champion from twenty and nineteen, going for

539
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,359
back to going for another trip to the final table

540
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,240
another title. In the Disop main event, he's out thirteenth

541
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:56,920
for five hundred and ten k Lori Sascelotti opened on

542
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,000
the button. Hosting Enson found a pretty standard spot here.

543
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:03,960
I think to jam a little bit over twenty six

544
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,160
Big Lilinds with Ace Queen off. The problem is, well,

545
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,680
this is one of the things I just hate in poker,

546
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,200
and I know all you players out there can understand

547
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,839
what I'm talking about. When the big blind just wakes

548
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,920
up with it. I mean, I know the big line

549
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,720
didn't actually do anything wrong, but it just sucks when

550
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:23,920
you do the standard thing and then the person behind you,

551
00:28:24,319 --> 00:28:27,400
the one person behind you in this case, just wakes.

552
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:27,839
Speaker 2: Up with the goods.

553
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,279
Speaker 1: Michael Gagliano and the Big LiLine just picks up two cowboys,

554
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:35,400
two kings, and that's that. You know, Enzun's out the door.

555
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,599
Believe he did flop a queen but bricked out from there,

556
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,920
and all of a sudden, Gags Michael Gagliano is up

557
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,319
to eighty one million. So we got Lucas Jumlan who

558
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,680
just won that huge pot off Malcolm Trainer, He's cruising

559
00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:50,359
well over one hundred million, and now you've got Gags

560
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,519
storming up the leaderboard thanks to taking out hosting Ens

561
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,759
on just kind of a sick way to go for

562
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,039
Enzon because that's just such a standard spot and you

563
00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:00,480
just get unlucky to run into it. But but yeah,

564
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:04,000
but that's the spot. So at this stage, right it's

565
00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:07,640
it's Jumalan as as the chip leader. He's clearly feeling it.

566
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,559
His rail is freaking awesome. They are allowed, they are

567
00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:13,759
supporting their guy. Oftentimes he's like, you know, kind of

568
00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:16,920
celebrating them, whether that's just at the table with some

569
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,400
some hand motions or whatever, or maybe he's going over

570
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,680
to the rail like it's it's a really cool atmosphere

571
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,279
between them. So with twelve left, they're playing six and six,

572
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,400
Remco catches up with Lucas Jumalan on one of the

573
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,319
breaks and he wanted to get a sense for how

574
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:32,519
the kid's feeling in this moment, because he's the freaking

575
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:34,920
chip leader and he's cruising with twelve players left in

576
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,200
the WSVP main events. So here's that conversation right now.

577
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,839
Remco and Lucas Jumalan.

578
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,359
Speaker 3: Lucas massive moment, twelve left in the main what are

579
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:45,200
you feeling right now?

580
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:49,759
Speaker 11: I mean, it really hasn't set in yet. Like obviously

581
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,119
super blessed to be here, but I don't think I'll

582
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:56,039
really feel anything until it's like completely over. So I'm

583
00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:59,039
just trying to say locked in, centered and focused and

584
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,240
do my thing.

585
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:03,799
Speaker 3: What's it like to have so much support on the rail?

586
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,559
Speaker 11: It means the world, I've told them over and over again.

587
00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:09,000
I'm so thankful that for all the love and all

588
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,279
the support and everybody who's here and everybody who is not,

589
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,519
And yeah, it's just truly a blessing and a dream

590
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:15,960
come true.

591
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,559
Speaker 2: This event is so long.

592
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:20,599
Speaker 3: Have you noticed any shifts in your mindset, your approach

593
00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:21,960
as we got through the days?

594
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:24,039
Speaker 6: No, not really.

595
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 11: I think I've stayed pretty grinded and center the whole time.

596
00:30:27,319 --> 00:30:30,160
There's been some highs and some lows I've had. I

597
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:32,599
had five thousand ships in this thing at five hundred

598
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:38,200
big blind, So pretty incredible to be here, truly truly special.

599
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: The big part you played where you had Jacks full

600
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,759
put into words what was going through your mind on

601
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:45,759
the river when he was.

602
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 6: Thinking of the call hero me, hero me, hero me?

603
00:30:50,279 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: And then one final thought, we're getting closer to the

604
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:53,519
final table.

605
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:55,599
Speaker 2: How many players around.

606
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 3: You or you've played against do you think are trying

607
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,039
to get to the final table?

608
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,839
Speaker 2: And what's your view on this next.

609
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 11: I don't really want to give that away as of

610
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:03,240
right now.

611
00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: So there you go.

612
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,799
Speaker 1: The kid is just doing it at this time, loves

613
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:11,039
the support behind him, loves what he's doing here. He's

614
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:14,000
he's clicking all the right buttons. And when when someone

615
00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:17,200
like this is dialed in, you can just really start

616
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,680
to sense it that it just might be their tournament.

617
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:24,079
Now that said, I'm sure I've said that many times.

618
00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:27,440
I kind of started to say with Malcolm trainer after

619
00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:31,000
yesterday's performance, but you know, it can all kind of

620
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
start to fall away, but we'll see how it goes.

621
00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:38,079
Of course, with Lucas Jumalan Antonio Galliana, he ends up

622
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:41,200
going out in twelve for five hundred and ten thousand dollars.

623
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,599
He called off to a four bet jam against Michael Gagliano.

624
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,680
He called off did Galiana with ace queen off. Looked

625
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,319
like a pretty pained decision from him, but ultimately made

626
00:31:54,319 --> 00:31:57,839
the call and he ran right into Gags's ace, king

627
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,960
off the ace king off whole and all of a sudden,

628
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,599
we have another player in the tournament who is up

629
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,279
over one hundred million in chips, and this is Michael

630
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,119
Gags Gagliano believe this put him up to one hundred

631
00:32:11,119 --> 00:32:16,000
and two million. That said, it didn't last all that long.

632
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:21,559
Greg Mueller gets into a big clash with Gagliano once again.

633
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:25,440
It's Ace King for Gagliano. He's up against the Queens

634
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,359
for FBT, the classic of the classic races. Here the

635
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,799
Queens end up holding for Mueller, he doubles up to

636
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:37,240
get up to fifty six million, he clips gags back

637
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:40,720
down to fifty seven million. And then meanwhile you have

638
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,640
Juemlan who has now built his stack up to one

639
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,240
hundred and fifty five million in chips. So I just

640
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:48,559
said how he won that big pot off trainer he

641
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:51,559
gets up to one hundred and twenty five million, he's

642
00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:53,799
looking really strong, of course, and then he's just went

643
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,799
in more chips is Jummlan, and now with eleven left

644
00:32:56,799 --> 00:32:59,519
he's up to one hundred and fifty five million. Then

645
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:03,960
we had Toga Karrakaiah busting in eleventh place, taking home

646
00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:07,160
three quarters of a million dollars seven hundred and fifty

647
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,759
thousand dollars. His Ace ten Off lost to Jamie Chevelle.

648
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,680
Chevelle's jacks no help for the ace ten off and

649
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,960
Karrakaia was gone in eleventh, so ten players remain short break.

650
00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:25,799
They all get situated around one table. I kind of

651
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:27,720
wish that they would play five and five. I do

652
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:31,519
understand that from a viewing perspective, it's easier to put

653
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:34,319
players on one table, but I kind of wish that

654
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:37,759
they would play five and five and then just I

655
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:39,720
almost wish that they would play hand for hand and

656
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:42,640
then for the production or for the product, play one

657
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,680
hand at one table, go to the other table, play

658
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,640
and just go back and forth right like that would

659
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,240
be kind of cool.

660
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 9: I think.

661
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: I know that might extend things a little bit, but

662
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,559
at this point, I mean, everything's just extended, So who cares.

663
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,200
The shortest stack when there were ten players left was

664
00:33:57,319 --> 00:34:01,640
the Cypriot Eva Gorris Eva Gore with thirteen big blinds.

665
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:07,160
Mario Boose was slightly ahead of him with sixteen big blinds,

666
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,079
and then Jumalan was the chip leader. He was sitting

667
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:13,480
on one hundred and eight big blinds. On the very

668
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,280
first hand of ten handed play at the unofficial final table,

669
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,159
Eva Goru doubles through Malcolm Trainer. It folds to Trainer

670
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:26,280
in the small blind he jams with Queen aid Off,

671
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:29,960
can't really blame him. Decent hand to do so does

672
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,719
have some blocker properties, and you are going up against

673
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,760
a player and Eva Goru who has been a little

674
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,840
bit more on the conservative side throughout the later stages

675
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,639
of this event. But Eva Goro did find a call

676
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,599
with King seven of Clubs for his twelve big blind

677
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:47,760
so he was able to double up through Malcolm Trainer

678
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,719
and that left Malcolm Trainer with just seven point six

679
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,119
big blinds. So it makes Trainer the short sex the

680
00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:58,639
trainer cos from start of day Chip Leader with twenty

681
00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:01,119
one left. Where I'm sitting here on the last episode

682
00:35:01,159 --> 00:35:03,360
talking about how I expect him to make the final table.

683
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,760
I mean, I guess technically he did make the final table,

684
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,760
at least not the official one. And here he is

685
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,840
ten left, getting clipped down to fewer than eight big blinds,

686
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,599
and he's really gonna have to fight for things. Here

687
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,639
there's a shot though that he could get to the

688
00:35:18,679 --> 00:35:21,400
official final table, and we could see Malcolm Trainer in

689
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,400
August because Mario Boos gets all of his money in

690
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,639
twelve point six big blinds on a three bet jam

691
00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:31,880
with pocket tens against hand Fang's ace king the tens

692
00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:35,119
hold to double for boost. He's able to double up.

693
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,639
Fang is still doing all right on chips, and you know,

694
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:40,639
if you're Trainer and you're Israel, obviously you want boost

695
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:42,559
to bus so you can lock up that additional two

696
00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:45,079
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. There wasn't a pay jump

697
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:48,800
from eleven to ten. Both eleven and tenth get seven

698
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,119
hundred and fifty k, and then ninth place gets a million,

699
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:54,119
So this is where that quarter of a million dollar

700
00:35:54,199 --> 00:35:57,760
pay jump comes in. So they play a while ten

701
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,239
handed play. You know, some players are winning pots. A

702
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,440
whole ton of aggression was happening. You know, players kind

703
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,719
of really understood the situation. And then ultimately, you know,

704
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,159
Trainer goes through the blinds one time. He's down to

705
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,679
his last four big lines in the big line. After

706
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,840
he posts the big blind anti Jumalan opens with a

707
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,440
raise with King Queen off. Trainer defends his big line

708
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:24,519
with jack four clubs. It comes eight eighty four, so

709
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,400
Trainer's got two pair here. He pulls off the stop

710
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,400
and go all in. He moves all in for his

711
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,599
last two big lines. Jumalan calls getting a really good

712
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:36,360
price and it comes. It's the sickest way that it

713
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,920
could come. It doesn't come a king, it doesn't come

714
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,639
a queen. It comes running nine to nine to counterfeit

715
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,039
the two pair for Malcolm Trainer. Give Lucas Jumalan the

716
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:52,119
pot and send the Aussie out the door in tenth place. Now,

717
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,840
Malcolm Trainner played incredible. I thought it's a great result

718
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,800
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for him. I'm sure

719
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,960
he's going to be left wanting more. But after the

720
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,159
success that he has had over these last two years,

721
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:09,079
I think this kid just has to absolutely hold his

722
00:37:09,119 --> 00:37:14,119
head high. He sounds like a very solid, sound individual

723
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:16,960
who is going to do great things in poker. You know,

724
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,880
he's had some great results so far, and if he

725
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,079
can you know, I talked about that quote, you know,

726
00:37:22,159 --> 00:37:24,199
after he won the AUSI millions, that he told Poker

727
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,639
News that he's basically dedicated his life to the game

728
00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:29,280
for the last eight years. If he's able to keep

729
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,519
going in the direction that he's been going in and

730
00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:35,719
keep working hard, you know, just putting his head down

731
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,519
and grinding through it, he he's gonna win a boatload

732
00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:41,760
of money in this game Malcolm Trainer, so kudos to

733
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,320
him a great run. Unfortunate that he had to bust

734
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,400
in tenth place, but someone had to and ultimately it

735
00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:51,960
was the Ausie. So then we were left with nine.

736
00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:55,880
Lucas Jumlan. He did knock out Malcolm Trainer in tenth place.

737
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,840
He's going to be bagging one hundred and ninety four

738
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:04,400
million chips, which is good for one hundred and twenty

739
00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:08,480
nine big blinds when the final table is going to

740
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,880
resume on August third. That is a giant That is

741
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,119
a massive shout out, massive once again.

742
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: Chip lead.

743
00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:19,079
Speaker 1: Rami Hamoud out of Canada is in second place with

744
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:23,719
seventy nine million, so he's got one hundred and fifteen

745
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,760
million more than second place. I mean, that's just that's wild.

746
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:33,760
Fifty three big lines for Hamoud. Jamie Chevelle comes in

747
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,400
third here, fifty six million for him, thirty seven big blinds.

748
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,800
Chevell is a player who he's predominantly a cash game player.

749
00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:46,079
I spoke with him after the final table was made.

750
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,159
He's making his eighth cash in this event. I went

751
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:51,000
over that on the last episode. If you guys want

752
00:38:51,039 --> 00:38:52,760
to go back, if you miss that, but his eighth

753
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,880
cash in this event. This is of course his best finished.

754
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,039
So let's just play that that little chat that I

755
00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:01,239
had with Jamie Chevelle after found table wrapped up. Now

756
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,320
we can get to hear from him a little bit.

757
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,400
We haven't heard from him yet, but he was pumped.

758
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,320
He was absolutely pumped to make it, and it was

759
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,480
a pleasure to chat with him. So here's that that

760
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,679
talk right now. All right, I'm here with Jamie Chavelle,

761
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,079
just made the main men final table. You're a man

762
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:16,920
who has a lot of history with this event. I

763
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,360
think it's eight cashes. Now, what is it about this

764
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,159
tournament that allows you to succeed.

765
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 6: As a poker player.

766
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 12: Honestly, is the only tournament I've played so so, but no,

767
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,079
I think it's just because I play cash games.

768
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 6: That's my main thing.

769
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,679
Speaker 12: And in this tournament is more like cash games, at

770
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,000
least in the first couple of days than any other tournament.

771
00:39:35,199 --> 00:39:38,440
It's a really cool, slow, deep structure plays to my

772
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,800
what I know, I guess and I don't know. I

773
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,239
don't really know how I've I mean, I've cashed a lot,

774
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,199
but I've never had anything like this before, so this

775
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,119
is pretty unturned waters for man.

776
00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, at this in this tournament, right, you start

777
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,039
going deeper and deeper and deeper. And you've had some

778
00:39:53,079 --> 00:39:55,880
deep runs before, but obviously nothing like this before. At

779
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,280
what point in this run did it really become real

780
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,639
and start just thinking like, Okay, I got a shot

781
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:01,440
at the fun table.

782
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 12: It's really strange, but I felt very different this run

783
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,079
than any run I've had in the past. For whatever reason,

784
00:40:08,159 --> 00:40:12,239
I've just been much more relaxed and appreciative of everything

785
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,599
happening and not worried about making a mistake or stressed out.

786
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,000
And I've just played very free and I think that's

787
00:40:20,039 --> 00:40:24,079
probably helped a bit. Obviously I've had tremendous luck along

788
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:26,039
the way to get here, as we all have.

789
00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't know.

790
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,639
Speaker 12: Maybe maybe it's just the experience factors helped me out,

791
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,360
but it's it's been a unique run for me, I guess.

792
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,679
Speaker 6: Different from the rest.

793
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:38,119
Speaker 1: You had one big hands the nut flush straw against

794
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:39,960
the set of fours with the straight draw as well.

795
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,039
Talk me through that moment you get all your chips

796
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:43,159
in it such a big spun.

797
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 12: I'll tell you that the rush and the adrenaline from

798
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,679
that is really unlike anything else in life, you can't

799
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,519
you cannot really simulate that in anything else.

800
00:40:53,559 --> 00:40:56,599
Speaker 6: It's just a very very unique, very.

801
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,519
Speaker 12: Cool happy to have won that one obviously, kind of

802
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:01,880
shows you the butterfly ef back from tournaments is crazy, right.

803
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,920
If the other gentleman had, you know, haired the board

804
00:41:05,159 --> 00:41:07,679
or just won that hand, he might be here and

805
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,039
I'm not. And I mean that's what's cool about tournaments

806
00:41:10,119 --> 00:41:13,519
is just you know, any one little thing can dictate

807
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,559
everybody's faith.

808
00:41:14,599 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 6: It's cool.

809
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:17,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple weeks off now before the final table,

810
00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:19,480
any ideas of what you're gonna do.

811
00:41:19,559 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 6: Go home, just chill, hang out, run up my normal life.

812
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,000
It won't change.

813
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 12: I've got a couple of awesome kids at home, and

814
00:41:26,519 --> 00:41:28,280
you know, I've played poker. Back at home, I've got

815
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,440
a really great group of guys that I've played poker with.

816
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 6: So you know, it'll be my business as usual for me.

817
00:41:34,119 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: You heard it there from Jamie. Not much is gonna

818
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,880
change between now and August third. Gonna go back to

819
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,519
his normal life, go back to his family, his kids,

820
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,920
and just you know, I guess, kind of rest and

821
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,679
relax and get ready to go for the final table

822
00:41:46,760 --> 00:42:02,639
in August. Fourth place coming in in August will be

823
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,760
mister FBT, Greg Mueller forty eight and a half million

824
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,280
for him thirty two big blinds. He caught up with

825
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,880
Remco right after play. I think I'm pretty sure, he said.

826
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:16,679
Right at the beginning of the interview, he got a

827
00:42:16,679 --> 00:42:19,880
phone call from the head coach of the Ottawa Senators.

828
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:23,280
I mean, I was talking to his good buddy Sean

829
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,400
Buchanan Bucky on the rail and Bucky has been coaching

830
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,280
him from I think day four, just really really helping

831
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,400
him the whole way through getting him to this final table.

832
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,840
And then Bucky was also telling me that, you know,

833
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,840
if he makes his final table. This was you know,

834
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,679
I think when they were ten handed and he said,

835
00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:42,599
you know, if Greg makes the final table, then you know,

836
00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:46,199
I'm talking tons of hockey guys. X NHL A is

837
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,280
all going to be coming out making a thing of it.

838
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,159
So this is pretty cool. You know, Greg does have

839
00:42:51,199 --> 00:42:55,920
that that X either semi pro pro hockey background, knows

840
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,320
a lot of those guys. He does a lot of

841
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,639
stuff with the Vancouver Canucks organization, so I expect Greg

842
00:43:01,639 --> 00:43:06,079
Greg's rail. It wasn't as rowdy just yet, but come August,

843
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,599
there's gonna be a lot of FBT supporters there, so

844
00:43:09,679 --> 00:43:12,719
that's that's really cool. But anyway, here is Greg Mueller

845
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,920
after making the final table with Remcom Greener.

846
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:16,559
Speaker 2: I'll call you back.

847
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 9: It's an interview city over here.

848
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 13: Call you back, coach of the Ottawa Senators.

849
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 6: Beautiful.

850
00:43:24,159 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, talk to me of the response, the energy,

851
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:27,880
what's happening right now?

852
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,079
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest.

853
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 13: What I learned out of this, other than the poker stuff,

854
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:35,440
was how blessed I am in life. I have so

855
00:43:35,559 --> 00:43:40,760
many people cheering for me, like rooting genuinely for me,

856
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:44,199
that itself feels amazing no matter what place I come

857
00:43:44,199 --> 00:43:47,239
in on the final table, just the love and support

858
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,320
I have from my family and friends is undescribable.

859
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,679
Speaker 3: Was this almost like a thing that you needed to

860
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:54,599
be reminded of that?

861
00:43:56,199 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 6: No?

862
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,599
Speaker 9: I mean I always know that I have a wicked support.

863
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:04,079
Speaker 13: Group, but it just I needed it for my poker prowess,

864
00:44:04,119 --> 00:44:06,760
like I was, you know, like it's just like, hey, hey,

865
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:08,360
if I want to play, I can.

866
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:11,559
Speaker 3: You know, this run is so insane on so many

867
00:44:11,559 --> 00:44:12,280
different levels.

868
00:44:12,599 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 2: But talk to me about the.

869
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 3: Closing hours here As you get closer while still knowing

870
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,320
that there's traps everywhere and you could be eleventh or

871
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,000
tenth and then all of a sudden, the experience is

872
00:44:23,079 --> 00:44:23,559
very different.

873
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, you know, the money's very big, obviously,

874
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,119
But to me when we were ten handed, what was

875
00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:32,840
more important was for me to get on ESPN as

876
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,840
a final nine, more so than the pay jump of

877
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,440
getting to the final nine. Just I just think the fun,

878
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,719
the opportunities for me with my you know, personality, I

879
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:45,559
thought I thought it was.

880
00:44:45,559 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 6: Important for me to make to make the feed the

881
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,000
final table.

882
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: The gloves will really come off when you come back.

883
00:44:51,519 --> 00:44:53,800
You already talked about wanting to get a little fitter.

884
00:44:54,159 --> 00:44:56,639
What can we expect from you and the rail I

885
00:44:56,679 --> 00:44:59,599
know that I think hockey town will be all over

886
00:44:59,639 --> 00:45:00,199
this thing.

887
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: What's gonna happen?

888
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean the one thing is now that I'm here,

889
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,840
I'm gonna have a lot less like I'll have way

890
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,119
less fear, you know what i mean, because I'm I'm

891
00:45:10,119 --> 00:45:12,320
still gonna play correctly, but I'm saying, you know, like

892
00:45:12,599 --> 00:45:14,639
towards the end, you gotta clamp up if you want

893
00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:16,960
to guarantee yourself a seat. And not that I really did,

894
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,480
I didn't have any hands to play, and I was

895
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:20,599
okay with that, you know.

896
00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:23,159
Speaker 9: But yeah, now that.

897
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:27,679
Speaker 13: I'm there, I'm looking to win, not squeak up and

898
00:45:28,639 --> 00:45:30,119
I seem myself into fifth.

899
00:45:30,679 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 6: I'm looking to win.

900
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 13: So if there's a chance for me to go for it, I'm.

901
00:45:34,679 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 9: Going for it.

902
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,559
Speaker 3: Who's coming out, who's gonna be on your rail off?

903
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 2: Give us some names?

904
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:44,199
Speaker 13: I mean, first and foremost, my buddy Sean Buchanan, who's

905
00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:46,480
been instrumental in this whole run with me. I'll I'll

906
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,360
be honest. He has been on my ass about my phone,

907
00:45:50,599 --> 00:45:54,440
my my demeanor, Get up off the table, put the

908
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,960
hoodie on, focus, no emotions, Let's go go to bed

909
00:45:58,039 --> 00:46:01,320
like I'm not kidding twenty four to seven. Amongst discussing hands,

910
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,239
hand history, doing the research of the other players, he's

911
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,920
been it's almost like I love the team atmosphere. It's

912
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,519
almost like it's been a team after truthfully.

913
00:46:09,679 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: Next up we have Michael Gagliano. I caught up with

914
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,280
Gags after he reached the final table and did a

915
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,960
couple of interviews. Forty six point five million in the bag,

916
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,719
thirty one big lines for him. Gags made a deep run.

917
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,880
I think it was last year one hundred and fortieth place.

918
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,480
If not, it was the year before, but I'm pretty

919
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,920
sure it was last year. And then here, you know,

920
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,360
it's just I mean, he's a lifetime grinder. It is Gagliano.

921
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,000
He's been doing this for many, many, many years, and

922
00:46:36,039 --> 00:46:39,400
now here he is at Pokerspinnacle the WSP Main Event

923
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,280
Final Table, and I wanted to chat with him about it.

924
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,800
So let's hear from Gagliano. All right, Michael Gagliano here

925
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,119
just made the WSP Main Event Final table. You've just

926
00:46:49,199 --> 00:46:51,880
someone who's been around the industry for a long time.

927
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:54,039
You know, you've put in a lot of years on

928
00:46:54,079 --> 00:46:56,880
the felt Did you ever think it would culminate in

929
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:57,559
this achievement?

930
00:46:57,599 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 8: Leason?

931
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,559
Speaker 9: I mean I have to obviously say no.

932
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,079
Speaker 14: You know, well, listen, everybody dreams of making you know,

933
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:08,480
the main and men final table. And like I was

934
00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:11,639
talking to Romie, like he said, kept keep saying like

935
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:13,199
it doesn't feel real, doesn't feel real.

936
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 9: I've played quite a number of tournaments.

937
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 14: I don't really get too nervous, even deep there's obviously

938
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,440
a level of like anxiety. I felt much more nervous

939
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,199
on day four than I did on basically any of

940
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,559
the other days. I don't really know why I had

941
00:47:29,599 --> 00:47:31,719
a good stack, but it just like, going throughout the day,

942
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:32,360
I felt like.

943
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 9: It was just like I felt. I felt it was

944
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,159
just a little more nervous than usual.

945
00:47:36,199 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 14: I had a couple of tough table draws and I

946
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:43,280
just was like, I'm not super comfortable. And I ended

947
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,679
the day reasonably poorly and I only bagged about fourteen bigs,

948
00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:49,880
and I kind of felt like I was just like

949
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,880
out honestly, which obviously it wasn't, but I felt like, well,

950
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:54,800
I only have fourteen bigs.

951
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 9: I'm just gonna do my best. I played this a.

952
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,679
Speaker 14: Million times, you know, I've grinded these stacks online, and uh.

953
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 9: I came into the day.

954
00:48:01,639 --> 00:48:05,159
Speaker 14: Just feeling like very clear headed and really good. And

955
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,519
I got it in bad. I got an ace cream

956
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:09,119
ers ace king, and I hit a queen in the

957
00:48:09,199 --> 00:48:10,840
river and the guy sitting next to me told me

958
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,480
how the guy before me, who was there, I guess,

959
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:14,360
got really bad beat.

960
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 9: And he's like, oh, you're this seat is hot.

961
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 14: Now You're you're in good shape, And I was like,

962
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,599
all right, Like sure, he watched me hit the queen

963
00:48:20,639 --> 00:48:21,000
and then.

964
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,079
Speaker 9: I just didn't lose Apop for like eight hours.

965
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 14: And uh, because I guess I had felt like kind

966
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,639
of mentally like I was already out of him, and

967
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,239
I'm just gonna like, all right, we're just gonna see

968
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,719
what happens now and just see how far I can

969
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,559
go and do my best. But I don't know, this

970
00:48:33,679 --> 00:48:36,440
part of it doesn't feel real. But uh, I'm here

971
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:37,639
so too.

972
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: Talk to me a little bit about the dynamics towards

973
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,920
the end before making the final table. Your table had

974
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,159
all the chips and the other table didn't have that

975
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,440
many chips. You know, just talk about going through that

976
00:48:47,519 --> 00:48:49,199
and having to battle with a lot of other big

977
00:48:49,199 --> 00:48:50,960
stacks and in a lot of ways have to be

978
00:48:51,039 --> 00:48:52,280
cautious weirdly.

979
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was definitely a little awkward. I mean, we

980
00:48:55,559 --> 00:48:57,480
hit the top five and the bottom five work of

981
00:48:57,519 --> 00:49:00,960
the table. We were joking that they weren't playing, they

982
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:01,760
were just sitting there.

983
00:49:02,519 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 14: And when we got to the final table, we were

984
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,480
kind of needling the guys a bit saying that. Somebody said, oh,

985
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:07,679
we went to get dinner, and I was like, all right,

986
00:49:07,679 --> 00:49:11,119
we figured we saw the chip stacks weren't moving, But

987
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,079
now they had a couple of LANs, but nobody busted

988
00:49:13,119 --> 00:49:14,360
and they just kept swapping stacks.

989
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 9: It was like one guy hit ten, guy twenty and

990
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:16,760
then they just swapped.

991
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 14: So yeah, we had a bunch of a bunch of

992
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:24,039
good players, a bunch of big stacks. I don't know,

993
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,639
it just was. It was definitely like a little more cautious.

994
00:49:26,679 --> 00:49:29,400
I think people were afraid to play really big pots rightfully.

995
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,280
So there were a couple of big bets, some like

996
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,559
reasonable sized pots, but nothing too crazy.

997
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 9: But I don't know, I'll see.

998
00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 14: Maybe on the footage, maybe we're getting a little more

999
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,719
out of line than I thought they were, So we'll see.

1000
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of playing big pots, you played a big one

1001
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,559
with Greg Mueller, your ace King versus Queens. You know,

1002
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:47,000
you got it up to one hundred million. You guys

1003
00:49:47,039 --> 00:49:50,400
played that big pot. Is there any sort of kind

1004
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,360
of doubt that might creep in in that moment where

1005
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,519
it's like, hmm, maybe this might go the other way?

1006
00:49:54,599 --> 00:49:56,239
Or how do you kind of recenter yourself and then

1007
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,000
stay focused.

1008
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,599
Speaker 14: I mean, it's poker. Every hand is nice win. Every

1009
00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:02,000
time you get all in, you want to win, if

1010
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,480
it's for four big ones or forty.

1011
00:50:04,679 --> 00:50:06,079
Speaker 9: Some of them you win, some of them you lose.

1012
00:50:06,159 --> 00:50:06,519
I don't know.

1013
00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 14: I kind of sometimes when I'm sitting there, I'm always

1014
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,440
I think like, oh, this would be a nice one

1015
00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:12,840
to win, like, but they're all nice to win, you know,

1016
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,159
So I don't know, I just kind of just sit

1017
00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:17,039
there and see what happens.

1018
00:50:17,039 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 9: I don't know. That was a big flip for sure.

1019
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 14: I told somebody else like that definitely changing the dynamic

1020
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,719
because I was more right in the middle of the

1021
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,159
pack with everyone else, and Lucas, you know, obviously had

1022
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:29,280
all the ships because I was like almost I wasn't

1023
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:30,920
saying I was I won't say it was competing with him,

1024
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,239
but like I was up to maybe almost one hundred

1025
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:34,880
mil and he had like one forty.

1026
00:50:34,639 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 9: So like we were definitely getting there.

1027
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 14: But then once I, me and Greg had the same

1028
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,280
stacks again, it was like just anybody's game. So it's

1029
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,679
kind of the way it is now. I mean, Lucas

1030
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,159
has a bunch, but there's so many stacks that are

1031
00:50:47,199 --> 00:50:51,000
just right there, one or two bots. If somebody doubles

1032
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,320
through Lucas, they're gonna be like right there. So it's

1033
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,360
really wide open still and anything can happen.

1034
00:50:57,519 --> 00:50:59,039
Speaker 9: So I guess we'll.

1035
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,039
Speaker 1: Say you play all a lot of intense poker to

1036
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:03,360
get to this point. It's very hard, it's very grueling,

1037
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,360
it's taxing on you. What do you got in store

1038
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,239
for these next couple of weeks before the final table?

1039
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 14: I mean, I'm gonna sit on the couch and watch

1040
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,519
a lot of TV for at least twenty four hours,

1041
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,119
but I don't know.

1042
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:17,199
Speaker 9: It's two weeks or so. It's it's a slightly awkward

1043
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:17,840
amount of time.

1044
00:51:18,599 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 14: I kind of gonna go home to New Jersey, which is,

1045
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,400
you know, not a short fight, but then I'm gonna

1046
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,320
have to come like right back. So I don't exactly

1047
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,559
know what I'm gonna do yet. But tomorrow's a couch day,

1048
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:31,159
that's for sure. I think the World Cup is on,

1049
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,760
so I'm just gonna watch that and just see what happens.

1050
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: It sounds very workman like, is is I think how

1051
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,480
I would describe, you know, Michael Gagliano, And it's I

1052
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:44,800
understand I think what he's saying at the beginning when

1053
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,000
I asked him, you know, do you expect to be here?

1054
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:49,639
Did you ever expect that you would make it here?

1055
00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:51,000
And he was kind of like, well, I have to

1056
00:51:51,039 --> 00:51:53,440
say yes that that, or sorry, I have to say

1057
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,360
no that. I would have never expected it. But in

1058
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,000
a way, I think when you are in the game

1059
00:51:59,039 --> 00:52:04,559
for so long and you're playing specifically your specialty is

1060
00:52:04,599 --> 00:52:08,239
nolam at Holdham tournaments, and the volume that Michael Gagliano

1061
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,400
puts in, and probably how confident he is in himself

1062
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:16,400
at the table, you you probably think that the dream

1063
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,440
is a little bit more of a possible reality just

1064
00:52:19,519 --> 00:52:23,760
given the shots at it that you give yourself, right

1065
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,559
Versus if you're just a person who comes out and plays,

1066
00:52:26,679 --> 00:52:29,039
you know, one or two tournaments here and there, maybe

1067
00:52:29,079 --> 00:52:31,880
you ultimately don't think that that reality could ever really

1068
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,559
become true just because you're not firing at it all

1069
00:52:34,599 --> 00:52:38,639
the time. But you know, Gags, I think is just

1070
00:52:38,639 --> 00:52:41,199
confident in himself that he thought, you know, yeah, like

1071
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,679
I can do this, Like I can make this happen

1072
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,760
eventually in my career. And here he is twenty twenty six.

1073
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,519
He's at the FSB Main Event final table. Rounding out

1074
00:52:50,639 --> 00:52:53,360
the final nine. We got Mario Boos out of France

1075
00:52:53,559 --> 00:52:57,000
forty four million for him twenty nine big lines. Lori

1076
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,159
Sasclatti out of Finland thirty seven point five. I have

1077
00:53:00,199 --> 00:53:04,039
a million, that's twenty five big blinds. Han feg bagged

1078
00:53:04,159 --> 00:53:07,840
twenty five million, seventeen big blinds, and then Eva Gorris

1079
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,559
Eva Goru out of Cyprus twenty two and a half million,

1080
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:16,119
fifteen big blinds. So it's very interesting how the stacks

1081
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,840
shape out here because you got a giant chip leader

1082
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,920
in Lucas Jumalan. Now I did think it was a

1083
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,599
little bit interesting because I was I was watching kind

1084
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:28,599
of where the crowd was while I was while there

1085
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:30,960
was ten handed at the one table, and you could

1086
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,519
see the play and the stats were up on the

1087
00:53:33,559 --> 00:53:36,800
screen that all the viewers could could see their inside

1088
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,480
Paris by the stage, and it didn't seem like Jumalan

1089
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:44,480
at this point was being too aggressive with ten players left.

1090
00:53:44,519 --> 00:53:46,559
I thought he would have been a little bit more aggressive,

1091
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,760
just because there were some very short stacks, namely Malcolm Trainer.

1092
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,599
But then also, you know, Fang was relatively short, Eva

1093
00:53:53,639 --> 00:53:56,480
Gouru short, you know, or at least Fang was shorter

1094
00:53:56,639 --> 00:53:59,920
once Boost doubled through him. But I thought with that

1095
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:03,440
chip lead and being the younger aggressive player that Jumalan

1096
00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:05,320
was he might have opened a little bit more and

1097
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,639
tried to take advantage of the spot. I did see

1098
00:54:08,639 --> 00:54:13,599
one kind of probably half joking tweet that said he

1099
00:54:13,599 --> 00:54:16,360
should have folded to trainer's shove just to keep him

1100
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,880
around longer so that he could continue to chip up more.

1101
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,000
But I mean, whatever, you're you're locking up a two

1102
00:54:22,039 --> 00:54:23,679
hundred fifty k pag jump, You're getting this thing to

1103
00:54:23,679 --> 00:54:26,119
the fontine when you've got a giant chiplead. So you know,

1104
00:54:26,159 --> 00:54:28,679
I don't think that was all that serious in this spot,

1105
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,440
but it will be interesting come August when they return.

1106
00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:35,599
You know what the approach is for Jumlan And I

1107
00:54:35,639 --> 00:54:38,480
think we'll get a sense of that pretty early on,

1108
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:40,400
Like is he just going to come in kind of

1109
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:44,039
right away, just laying the hammer down, Like let's say,

1110
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:46,840
you know, within the first one to two hands Romi

1111
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,360
Hamood decides to open. Is Jumalan just going to decide

1112
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,000
to come with a three bet and see if he

1113
00:54:53,039 --> 00:54:55,920
can be like no, like, listen, I'm the chip leader,

1114
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,039
I'm the table captain. Okay, Like that's how this is

1115
00:54:58,039 --> 00:55:00,920
going to work out. But we'll see, right and a

1116
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,599
lot of these stacks, you know, I know, Rami Hamud

1117
00:55:03,679 --> 00:55:06,920
is kind of he separated himself enough from the pack

1118
00:55:07,039 --> 00:55:08,760
that he can kind of chill out a little bit

1119
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:14,880
there in second place. But then Chevelle Mueller, Gagliano, Mario Boos, Sascolatti,

1120
00:55:15,159 --> 00:55:18,079
they're all between twenty five and thirty seven big lines,

1121
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,280
so they're really gonna be like just kind of locked

1122
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,280
in the ICM jail cell while we see what happens

1123
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,519
with Han Feng and Eva gors Eva Goru, who are

1124
00:55:27,559 --> 00:55:30,320
sub twenty right, So it's going to be very interesting

1125
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,639
to see how it all shakes out come August. The

1126
00:55:33,679 --> 00:55:38,000
final nine, as I mentioned, are guaranteed one million dollars.

1127
00:55:38,599 --> 00:55:41,519
The pay jump is two hundred and fifty K up

1128
00:55:41,519 --> 00:55:43,400
to eighth, two hundred and fifty K up to seven,

1129
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,039
two hundred and fifty K up to sixth, and then

1130
00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:48,679
we go five hundred K up to fifth place, fifth

1131
00:55:48,679 --> 00:55:51,360
place getting two point twenty five million. Then we go

1132
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,559
another five hundred K up to two point seven five

1133
00:55:53,599 --> 00:55:56,519
million for fourth place, Then we jump a million up

1134
00:55:56,599 --> 00:56:00,440
to third place three point seven five million. We jump

1135
00:56:00,519 --> 00:56:02,760
from third to second at least, you know, the biggest

1136
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,599
so far, up to six million dollars for second place,

1137
00:56:06,599 --> 00:56:08,599
and then of course the biggest jump of them all

1138
00:56:08,639 --> 00:56:13,119
four million dollars from second to first place of ten

1139
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:18,239
million dollars. And that's it. That's the pot, and that's

1140
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,000
the WSIP Main Event Final Table.

1141
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:22,199
Speaker 2: Listen.

1142
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: I hope you guys had as much fun as I

1143
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:29,280
did following this tournament. This is the best tournament in

1144
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,599
the world. I think it's truly incredible. I absolutely love

1145
00:56:32,639 --> 00:56:36,119
it every single year. The final table, I think is

1146
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:39,920
gonna be pretty electric. I know we can kind of

1147
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,440
look back at the start of day eight and we

1148
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,199
can say, oh, we missed out on Todd Brunson. Oh

1149
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,719
we don't have Brock Wilson. Oh the twenty nineteen champ,

1150
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,559
that story with hosting Ensign, we lost that. We didn't

1151
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:55,519
get arguably the greatest WICIP player in the world right now,

1152
00:56:55,559 --> 00:56:58,679
Sean Deep. We don't get him either. But you know,

1153
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,079
I think it's okay. I think it's okay. And one

1154
00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:02,960
of the reasons why I think it's okay is because

1155
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,639
so much of the Final table at Atmosphere has to

1156
00:57:06,639 --> 00:57:09,960
do with the rails that are there and the excitement

1157
00:57:10,039 --> 00:57:13,239
that they bring to it all. We know what Lucas

1158
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,960
Jumlan's rail is going to be They've they've been strong

1159
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:18,519
for the past day and a half, two days, right.

1160
00:57:19,079 --> 00:57:21,280
We have a good idea of Greg Mueller's rail that's

1161
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,559
going to be showing up in August. The French rail

1162
00:57:24,599 --> 00:57:26,760
for Mario Boose was very very strong.

1163
00:57:27,719 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 6: You know.

1164
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get a lot of these other rails.

1165
00:57:30,079 --> 00:57:32,000
The han Fang rail, you know, I think that that

1166
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:35,960
one can be quite nice also, So the louder these

1167
00:57:36,039 --> 00:57:39,280
rails are, the more fun that atmosphere is going to be.

1168
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,880
And ultimately, this is poker's biggest stage. These guys are

1169
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,719
playing for millions of dollars, ten million dollars up top,

1170
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,000
so it's it's gonna be electric no matter what, and

1171
00:57:47,039 --> 00:57:48,880
I can't wait to see it all play out. I

1172
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,719
believe the plan is August third on ESPN two and

1173
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,320
then August fourth and fifth on ESPN, So that's pretty cool.

1174
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,840
They're gonna have some episodes between now and then that

1175
00:58:00,119 --> 00:58:02,760
going to be getting released. Hopefully that helps build the

1176
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:08,639
buzz for this final table. Over the interim between now

1177
00:58:08,719 --> 00:58:12,039
and August third, I know I'm gonna be buckling down,

1178
00:58:12,239 --> 00:58:16,239
probably grabbing some popcorn, sitting on my couch and watching

1179
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,760
the entire coverage from start to finish. You know, that's

1180
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,760
one of the things I love to do every single year.

1181
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,880
I thought the coverage was, you know, pretty attractive this

1182
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,360
year in terms of getting us sucked in. I just

1183
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:28,920
didn't get to watch a lot of it because I

1184
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,480
was there trying to do the whole working thing, also

1185
00:58:31,519 --> 00:58:32,760
playing in the event myself.

1186
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:33,199
Speaker 6: All of that.

1187
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,199
Speaker 1: I did watch the last couple of days as being

1188
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,719
at home sick, and I can't go back. I can't

1189
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,599
wait to go back and watch the whole thing start

1190
00:58:40,639 --> 00:58:42,800
to finish. That's what I'm gonna be doing with my time.

1191
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,039
I would encourage you guys to do the same, and

1192
00:58:45,119 --> 00:58:48,199
then we'll see you on August third for the Final Table.

1193
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,760
Day one of the Final Table. It's going to be

1194
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,360
a fun one. So that's it. That's the pod for

1195
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,719
producer Rich. My name is Donnie Peters. It's a pleasure

1196
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,599
as always, guys. We'll probably we have a few more

1197
00:59:00,639 --> 00:59:02,480
pods coming up in these next couple of days because

1198
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,239
the DOUBSIP is still going on. So while we are

1199
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,199
wrapping UPSIP main event coverage, maybe we'll hit on some

1200
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,239
things here or there. As it pertains. This event, we'll

1201
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,760
be coming with some stuff in the future as well,

1202
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,880
probably the next two days for sure as we wrap

1203
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,440
things up, and then we'll see what we cook up

1204
00:59:19,679 --> 00:59:22,960
in the few weeks off leading up to August. It's

1205
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,840
been a pleasure, guys. I will talk to you guys

1206
00:59:25,199 --> 00:59:25,719
next time.

1207
