WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.119 Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:18.359 Poker Go Podcast. It is Wednesday, June third. It is 3 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:23.519 eleven forty nine pm. Trying to get this one in 4 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:30.199 heavily started before the midnight hour. Apologies for no pod 5 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.240 on Wednesday. Had a little bit of a mishap at home. 6 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.000 As you guys know, I have been coming home to 7 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.479 do the podcast. We are still setting up the area 8 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.600 for the podcast at the WSOP. So I get home 9 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.079 last night, just kind of hanging around wife and I 10 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:57.000 watched some TV. My daughter, who's five, is up kind 11 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.280 of freaking out, crying. Then she starts and that her 12 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:06.799 stomach hurts. Next thing you know, she's projectile vomiting all 13 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:12.640 over the flat bathroom. So so that happened. Then my son, 14 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.040 who's half his age, he gets woken up. He's freaking 15 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.319 out and crying. My wife's hanging out with my daughter 16 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.719 in the bed, trying to get her calm down and 17 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.079 to sleep and hope that she's feeling well. They're sleeping 18 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.439 in a different room. I go get my son. He's 19 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.400 freaking out, he wants his mom. It's a whole thing. 20 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.239 He's I'm trying to get him to lay in our 21 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.159 bed with me and go to sleep. He won't go 22 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.159 to sleep. He's up for an hour. So a whole 23 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.439 giant disaster of a night. But you know, that's just 24 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:45.680 the life with young kids. Absolutely love him, but good lord, 25 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.079 they can be a handful sometimes, don't they know the 26 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.840 dubsip's going on and dad needs his sleep. I mean, 27 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.319 come on, come on, we can't. We can't be projectile 28 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.760 vomiting and crying all like, well, what the heck are 29 00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:03.040 we doing? Like, come on, anyway, fun show ahead. I 30 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.079 do got to hand it to you guys off the top. 31 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.840 You guys answered the call. I asked for emails, I 32 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.479 asked for mailbag stuff. I got a bunch. So we're 33 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.479 gonna do that. But we'll do that a bit later 34 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.639 on in the episode. Probably the biggest news out of 35 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.960 the day I think, in my opinion, is I saw. 36 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.759 We all saw if you were watching the stream, one 37 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.080 of the sickest ways to bust a tournament you will 38 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.039 ever see. That happened in the ten KGG millions. We 39 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.599 will talk about it. We got Helmuth Megan another run 40 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.840 in an absolutely loaded ten k deuced to seven field. 41 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.520 As you might expect from that tournament, we had winners 42 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.639 in the fifteen hundred dollars six Max and the six 43 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.680 hundred dollars PLO. We might have a winner in the 44 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:52.919 fifteen hundred dollars mixed. 45 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:53.400 Omaha. 46 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.560 They are heads up right now. If they get to 47 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.400 a winner, great, we'll talk about it. If they don't 48 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.840 get to a winner, sorry, guys, you're gonna have to 49 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.439 get the mention on the next episode. And then, as 50 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.360 I mentioned, we'll close things off with the mailbags stuff 51 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.280 that you guys sent in.

There are three 78 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.439 tables remaining. There are twenty two players left. They had 79 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.399 over six hundred entries in this tournament, a whole ton 80 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.879 of late reg one point one just to shy a 81 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.920 one point one million dollars for first place. Twenty two 82 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.000 players left that they are very deep into the money. 83 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:10.639 When this situation happened, and what happened was Ricky Landis 84 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.000 gets all in. He's the shorter stack in this hand. 85 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.639 He gets all in with ace king up against the 86 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:22.000 ace nine of Bobby James. They're all in pre flop. 87 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.120 The dealer goes to run out to the flop. The 88 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.079 flop comes six King five four. You do not hear 89 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.000 that wrong? I read four cards. So four cards come 90 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.199 ripped off the deck on the flop. Everyone at the 91 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.519 table is like, okay, dealer stops. Of course, floor gets called, 92 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.319 floor goes up onto the feature table. 93 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:42.639 Stage. 94 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.480 This is all on the stream. It's ruled that the 95 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.360 flop cards. So all four of those flop cards, the six, 96 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.000 the King, the five, and the four are all going 97 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.160 to be shuffled together and then one of them is 98 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.639 going to be discarded at random. And guess what one 99 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.240 that was? Of course it's the King. Why wouldn't it 100 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.639 be the King? You know, Max drama here. So the 101 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.279 King gets discarded. The flop is then six five four, 102 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.759 turn eight river seven nine plays for the nine high 103 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.600 straight for Bobby James, and Landis is out the door 104 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:22.279 in twenty second place. I mean there, I've seen some 105 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.759 freaking beats in my day and some various situations to go, 106 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.600 I would say that this. I mean, it's first of all, 107 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.439 it's the right ruling. Okay, so let's just get that 108 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.959 out of the way. At first, I kind of was like, well, wait, 109 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.600 you can see if you watch the stream, you can 110 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.160 see the dealer make she puts the burn card down 111 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.759 and then she makes three motions down. So she didn't 112 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.680 do four motions down. She did three motions down. So 113 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.199 what that tells us then, is that you know, two 114 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.439 cards went down at one time to get us down 115 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.360 to four. I thought, well, okay, well you know the 116 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:57.720 order of the card, but do you really know the 117 00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.519 other order of the card, because it could be one 118 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.240 of them be backwards, which which time when she went 119 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.639 down did it have two? So a little bit confusing there. 120 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.399 So I understand the whole shuffling up the cards and 121 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.319 discard one. I checked with Matt Savage. He also posted 122 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.959 it on Twitter. I saw that as well. But this 123 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.720 is in the TDA rules. It is rule number thirty 124 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.160 nine Irregular flops and Premature dealt Cards. Thirty nine A 125 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.759 says four card flops if the flop has four rather 126 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.720 than three cards exposed or not, and regardless of whether 127 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.240 the door card is presumed presumed known, the floor will 128 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.920 be called. The dealer then scrambles the four cards face down. 129 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.879 The floor randomly selects one as the next burn card, 130 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.959 and the other three are the flop. So per TDA rules, 131 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.000 everything here was was followed to procedure. It just it 132 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.480 just sucks when you're in that situation. If you're laying 133 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.160 this in, this is how it ends for you. 134 00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:58.480 I mean, the. 135 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.480 Only thing that comes to my mind in terms of 136 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.800 like how a situation and then a situation and then 137 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.879 that that falls by the bad beat could be worse 138 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.839 was when at times we've seen where you go, people 139 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.680 have gone all in and their cards have just been 140 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.319 mucked and then they're just eliminated from the tournament. I mean, 141 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.040 that absolutely sucks. Of course, this sucks pretty bad. But listen, 142 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.279 gotta do you know, tip the cap to Ricky Landis, 143 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.519 didn't make a stink of it, just got up, left 144 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.399 the tournament, you know, went on with his day, seemed 145 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.120 to take it in stride, and that's just that's that. So, 146 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.039 I mean, I mean it sucks, of course, that's just 147 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.159 a brutal way to go out in twenty second twenty 148 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.000 second place. You know, you're in twenty two players left, 149 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.200 down from six hundred and twenty seven more than a 150 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.519 million dollars up top. You're right there in the thick 151 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.480 of it, and then this situation goes down just absolutely 152 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.879 wild wild stuff. Landis did take home just sh I 153 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.039 have forty two thousand dollars for his finish that tournament. 154 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.360 The ten k GG millions is down to the final 155 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.000 two tables right now. They are playing to what I 156 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.600 think is a final table today and then they're going 157 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.799 to come back on Thursday to finish it out. So 158 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.919 wild wild situation there. Just I mean, I can't I 159 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.360 just can't freaking believe that that that that happened over 160 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.080 in the ten k duce to seven no limit or 161 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.399 no limit dus to seven. You got Phil Helmuth making 162 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.039 a run. So Phil Helmyth we talked about it. We 163 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.840 you know, got a nice little audio Clipper two saying 164 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.960 that he's rich, he's famous, he has everything. Well he 165 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.639 might have a ten k deuce to seven nolaim at 166 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.440 bracelet because he's down to the final what is now 167 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:42.159 fourteen players in this event. According to the Chip Sacks 168 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.960 on Poker News, he's doing quite well. It looks like 169 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.360 they did. Just do the two table redraw after Ryan 170 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.000 Hoenik went out in fifteenth place, and Helmuth is currently 171 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:59.320 sitting fourth in Chips with fourteen players are mating. A 172 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.679 couple days ago, Helmuth finished in seventh at the ten 173 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.600 k Omaha Hater Better Final table. That's what then sparked 174 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.720 him to say, I'm rich, I'm famous, I have everything. 175 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.480 From a poker standpoint, I didn't deserve to lose that tournament, 176 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:14.120 but it. 177 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.279 Is what it is. He had all that stuff to say. 178 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.799 If you missed it, just go back in episode or 179 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.879 two and you'll you'll hear help me talk about it. 180 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.960 But he's in line again. He's in line again, and 181 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.320 this this field is pretty awesome as you expect from 182 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.679 this tournament. You got John Manette is still in there. 183 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.600 You got Sean deeb is still in there. It's very 184 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.799 interesting that Deeb, who has always said he's gonna ultimately 185 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.919 catch Helmuth. They have that friendly rivalry going back and forth. 186 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.120 There both still in I did stop by this tournament 187 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:44.039 a few times before I left Paris, and you know, 188 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.399 dee was was kind of given his little friendly his 189 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.000 friendly jokes and jabs to his good friend Helmuth. There 190 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.360 you got, Alex Foxon is still in the mix, ren 191 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.679 Linn is out there, Chad eve Sledge is in there 192 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:01.639 as well, Nioa Kihara, Dan Shack, and then two other 193 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.200 players that I want to mention. First Jason Daly. So 194 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.080 he's still in the mix. Now why am I bringing 195 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.240 up Jason Daly's name? 196 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:08.600 Now? 197 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.480 He is drafted in twenty five K Fantasy, So there's that. 198 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:17.080 But Jason Daly already won a bracelet at this World 199 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.919 Series of Poker. He won the fifteen hundred dollars Omaha 200 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:23.399 High Low. So I mean we're a week and a 201 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.240 half in and we have a chance to have a 202 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.639 two time bracelet winner. I mean, that's pretty freaking sick. 203 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:32.159 And Jason Daly is absolutely off and running. At the 204 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.559 twenty twenty six WSOP. Another player I want to mention, 205 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.679 and I went. When I went over there, I hadn't 206 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.519 checked the chip counts or anything. I go over there, 207 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.200 I'm like, all those three tables left, I'll check it out. 208 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.440 I walk over there, I see this player. I'm like, hmm, 209 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.600 that looks like someone I know. And you know what 210 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.360 it looks like. It looks like John sin So Johnson. 211 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.720 At the time, he was sitting next to Daniel Wineman, 212 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.519 so two ws be minimum champs sitting right next to 213 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.840 each other, deep in the money of this tournament. Daniel 214 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.240 Wyman has since been a limited but Johnson at least 215 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.159 as at time of recording, is still in kind of 216 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.039 middle of the pack. Is year maybe like you know, 217 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.679 more towards the bottom half of the pack, but still 218 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.759 in with fourteen players left. Notable about him, you know, 219 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.360 of course. 220 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:15.679 I see him. 221 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.240 I'm like, I haven't seen that guy in a while. 222 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.279 Let's check his stats. You look at his Hendon mob 223 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.679 his first cash live tournament cash, his first live tournament 224 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:28.120 cash since July twenty twenty two in that tournament that 225 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.559 he cashed in. Last was, of course, the Doubasip Main Event. 226 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.039 Johnson notably won the wsp Man Event in twenty eighteen 227 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.240 for eight point eight million dollars, and then let's not 228 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:42.919 forget two years prior to that, twenty sixteen he finished 229 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:47.639 in eleventh place for six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 230 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.039 So again very stacked field here. Alex fox In, Philhelmy, 231 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.919 Sean Deeve, John Minette, Chatty Sledge, Jason Daly, who's going 232 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.840 for bracelet number two. Johnson's in there, Dan Shack absolutely 233 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.639 stacked field in this tournament. I hope they shed some 234 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.960 light on this one on the stream on Thursday because 235 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.679 that type of fuel, especially if you got Helmuth and 236 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:11.279 deb Oh, that is an absolute dream scenario heads up 237 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.519 match helm Youth versus Sean deeb that would be freaking wild. 238 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.039 I mean, just turn turn the cameras on, Jeff Platt, 239 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.120 I know you're listening. Turn the cameras on for that one. 240 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.399 It's gonna be a heck of a lot of fun. 241 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.480 Let's hit on our first winner to talk about today. 242 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:41.240 THEO Zang won the fifteen dollars six max the fifteen 243 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.360 six max Nolan would hold them for three hundred and 244 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:48.600 forty six thousand dollars. Zang topped a field of eighteen 245 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.600 hundred and forty entries. His first ever WSOP cash. You 246 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.159 might have thought I was gonna say first Everbasipy bracelet, 247 00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.879 but no, first ever Wasipy cash. Of course first bracelet 248 00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.120 is well, that's pretty crazy. He did have a cash 249 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.080 in a WSP circuit Man event that I saw on 250 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:08.279 his hand him Bob, but no official WSOP cash. This 251 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.120 is his first one. Jang is a twenty six year 252 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.919 old PhD student from Georgia Tech. He also came second 253 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.799 in the eleven hundred dollars two million dollars guaranteed tournament 254 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.879 over at the Win as part of the WPT World 255 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.480 Championship Series back in December for three hundred and fifty 256 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.120 five thousand. So nice score here for Jang getting his 257 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.679 first WSOP Gold raycelet. Now is the moment of truth 258 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.480 for these guys, Chris Lee and Justin Liberto. Let's see 259 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.000 if let's see if we got a winner in this tournament. Bang, 260 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.399 we do hit the refresh button and it says on 261 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:51.600 Poker News. Justin Liberto wins Events number fourteen fifteen hundred 262 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:56.159 dollars Mixed Omaha Liberto taking home two hundred and sixty. 263 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.279 Five thousand dollars. 264 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.440 Liberto is a crusher, plays all the game very very well, 265 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.480 getting what I believe is his second WSOP Gold bracelet 266 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.639 in this one a little bit of a swingy heads 267 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.000 up match between him and Chris Lee Lee ultimately finishing 268 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.559 in second place for one hundred and seventy six thousand dollars. 269 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:20.519 So congratulations there too, justin liberto somebody who I think 270 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.480 I want to try and get on the podcast if 271 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.759 he's willing to come on and do an interview, because 272 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.440 he's one of those kind of younger I mean middle aged, 273 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.759 kind of sounds old but not, you know, I feel 274 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.799 like he's a little bit younger than me. But somebody 275 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.480 who's kind of coming up and who I wouldn't be surprised. 276 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.360 And let's say two, three, four, five years you know, 277 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.559 has six seven bracelets. You know, he's got two right now. 278 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.440 But he's somebody as long as he keeps putting in 279 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.639 the volume could certainly start start racking up those WSOP titles, 280 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.679 that's for sure. The third winner that we get to 281 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.320 talk about today came from the six hundred dollars Deep 282 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.360 Stack PLO, and that was Philip ardar Hard Deer Hard 283 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:04.039 Deer I probably completely butchered that. Sorry for that, Philip, 284 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.320 but he won the six hundred dollar PLO Deepsack for 285 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:09.399 one hundred and seventy one, one thousand dollars top in 286 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.399 a field of two thousand, six hundred and thirty six entries. 287 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.799 Nice little nugget here from the Poker News recap, which 288 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.639 I believe was written by It was written by Eric Torres, 289 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.799 and I like this. I liked how he wrote it. 290 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.240 He's got some nice quotes in there, got some nice nuggets. 291 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.240 This one I thought stuck out. But he saw the 292 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.799 six hundred dollars PLO on the schedule, he delayed his flight, 293 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.919 did our dire, got an extra room night, and Bang 294 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.960 wins the tournament. He said he used to play tournaments, 295 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.799 but he switched to cash some time ago to help 296 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.000 raise his kids and run his business. Well, now he 297 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.360 dove back in to the tournament streets and comes with 298 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.679 a gold bracelet from the World Series of Poker. Also 299 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:54.559 a fun little nugget here is that he struck up 300 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.480 a conversation at some point in the tournament with a 301 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.919 table mate. The table mate like cigars. I guess they had, 302 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:05.119 you know, a mutual enjoyment of cigars. Tablemate gave Ardire 303 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.680 a cigar, said hey, here you go, you can light 304 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.279 this one up when you win. And the winner photo 305 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.960 is ard Ire with a cigar and his table mate, 306 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.680 I guess came over with his wife just to sweat 307 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.200 him at the end of it. So that that's a 308 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.279 pretty cool story. You never know who you're gonna meet 309 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:22.920 in a poker at the poker table, and you can 310 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.079 become friends with those people rather quickly, which is great, great, 311 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.640 great stuff. Speaking of friends, nice little segue here, because 312 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.519 goes into our other friend some other events running around 313 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.759 the horseshoe and Paris. First up, the seventeen US Circuit Championship. 314 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.880 It's down to the final few tables. And I mentioned 315 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.559 friend because I'm gonna call him a friend of the pod. 316 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.559 I can do that, right. Josh Wang, our guy, josh 317 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.200 the guy that met Tristan, met me, Tristan buy's action 318 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.960 in him. He goes and jumps in the five k plo. 319 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.839 Well he's still in. He is still in in the 320 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:03.240 final I think forty plas in the seven dollars US 321 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.039 Circuit Championship. So good on josh Wang, our friend. Josh 322 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.400 I found out his last name is Wang, josh Wang. 323 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.519 So if you see Josh Wang he goes by, he 324 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.200 has like a weird screen name in the app, so 325 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.039 you won't be able to tell. I forget what it is. 326 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:20.640 It starts the G. I know that it's a G something. 327 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.160 I think the last letter. Her numbers are thirty three, 328 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.000 and it has the Chinese flag on it. But that's 329 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:28.920 Josh Wang. So we're rooting for Josh Wang this summer, 330 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.359 and it looks like he's doing pretty well for himself 331 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:34.960 over in this US Circuit Championship. Chip leader in that 332 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.160 one right now is Daniel Marcus. Covered him a bit 333 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:42.240 in the recent year or two. Good player, tough player. 334 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.480 I've played a lot with him as well. He's the 335 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.079 current chip leader right now. But you know, we'll get 336 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.680 down to this tournament a little bit more on the 337 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.680 on the final day. What I do want to mention 338 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:54.000 about this tournament is that I played it. Put two 339 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.640 bullets in this thing. The first one ended with me 340 00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.440 picking up right where I left off last summer. If 341 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:03.599 you guys remember I busted the WSP main event in 342 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.920 one hundred and sixty third place when my Kings went 343 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.559 down in a blaze of glory to somebody's Ace Queen. 344 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.319 The guy absolutely punted it off, but got there anyway. 345 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.599 First ball. At this time, I bust with Kings to 346 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.319 Ace Jack. So Kings just do it doing wonders for 347 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.680 me over here at the World Series of Poker. Got 348 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.559 it all in on my second bullets with threes versus 349 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.240 Ace ten suited believe it was up against I believe 350 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.480 his name is Ian Cohen won the Seminal hard Rock 351 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:37.559 Tournament recently, the big one down in Florida. He busted 352 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.960 me with a ten versus my threes. Thought I played well, 353 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.680 had a very very questionable spot. That's it's one of 354 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.599 those hands where I know if so here's the thing, 355 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.359 if I if I if let's say what this was 356 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.160 last summer and Tim Duckworth was on the pod with 357 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:56.039 me and he told me this hand. I would probably 358 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.720 be screaming at him like that, that's how this hand is. 359 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:05.519 And I mean I opened tens under the gun off 360 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:13.319 I think twenty seven twenty eight big blinds, A guy 361 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.240 off sixteen big blinds in the hijack seat. I'm in raised. 362 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:22.240 He makes it four point twenty five big blinds on 363 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.960 the three bed off, sixteen bigs folds back to me. 364 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.359 I have two tens. I mean, I thought for like 365 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.039 forty five seconds and I just decided to fold. And 366 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.920 I know, here's the thing. I know that if you 367 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:35.640 look this one up in a solver, and I did 368 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.359 look it up afterwards, but I knew it in the 369 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.839 moment that I just go all in here that's the play. 370 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.920 But this is where I decided to go exploit versus 371 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:52.079 what this solver says, because I'm just like, like off 372 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.759 sixteen bigs, like this guy should be like just three 373 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:59.519 bed jamming like everything except for like aces, kings, maybe queens, 374 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.839 maybe some king suited and like the sliver of bluffs 375 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.559 that he has. Like sure, there might be a couple 376 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:09.160 bluffs in there that can three bet fold, but I mean, 377 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.200 I don't know, I don't I don't feel like these 378 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.000 players are are doing that. I mean, I feel like 379 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.440 this is one of those spots where I just have 380 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.079 to trust the experience that this guy's gonna show me 381 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:21.799 two kings. Like all the f and time he had 382 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.200 not gotten out of ligne once that I had been 383 00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.799 playing with him for two hours or so, seemed just 384 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.559 kind of your standard player. So yeah, I mean, maybe 385 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.079 that's just an absolutely wretched fold by me. I just 386 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.359 I do struggle with this spot in general in that 387 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.400 I think the theory dictates that your hand is just 388 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:43.359 too good to fold, so you just go all in 389 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.640 under the assumption that they do have some bluffs, even 390 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.359 if it's a small sliver of bluffs. But then on 391 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:54.119 the other side. I'm like, these people usually just have 392 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:57.279 the hands, Like like, so maybe I'm crazy for just 393 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.319 going exploit there, and like maybe I'm nuts, but I 394 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.119 figure out whatever, I committed two big blinds to this spot. 395 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:05.640 I mean, this is stupid of me folding, but I'm 396 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.440 just gonna fold. I don't know, maybe I'm just a 397 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.839 wild man. I'm sure plenty of people that hear this 398 00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:11.559 will tell me I'm a stone cold idiot. 399 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.640 But that's fine. 400 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.279 You living your learning, you move on. But I also 401 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.000
