00:00:10,839 --> 00:00:14,839
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Poker Go Podcast.

It is one am exactly on Thursday, June twelfth. Baby, listen.

4
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:31,800

5
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,600
you love to cover poker. You love to be here

6
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,640
at the World Series of Poker. Absolutely iconic night, historic night,

7
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:43,320
incredible stuff. And guess what, I wasn't here for most

8
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,640
of it. Bummed, absolutely freaking bummed that I had to

9
00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:52,799
go handle duties elsewhere. But I did make it back

10
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,560
for half of the history of the night. As you

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,000

We got Jason Kuhn winning the fifty K high Roller.

14
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:13,400
Truly incredible stuff there from both of those legendary players.

15
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,439
Of course, we have other bracelets that were awarded, or

16
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,280
at least one other bracelet that was awarded. Jason Dwong

18
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,359

19
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:29,280

Horse fifteen hundred horse and who the heck knows what else,

25
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,319
But we'll get to all of it. Of course, you

27
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Of course that was here all night. I'm committed to

28
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:55,760
the WSFP. Unlike some people over here, I'm good. I'm

29
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,159
a little tired. I'm being tired with last few days.

30
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:03,159
But it was pretty pretty cool night to see these

31
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,120

32
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,280

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,599
you know, on the ryo watching along and seeing how

37
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,199
kind of history unfolds.

positively one of the best ever. He has to be,

72
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,960
absolutely has to be. I listen, sure, maybe he doesn't

73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,759
have as many bracelets as Helmuth or Ivy, right, but

74
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:24,600

00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:43,279

00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,399
Speaker 1: Johnny moss is kind of counts. Did he did he

87
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,240
I mean no, he didn't. He gotta he got a

88
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,480
cup or a glass or something.

89
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: Okay, first year was technically an ice bucket. Yes, that's yeah,

90
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,279
it was an ice po We gotta get we gotta

91
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:12,879
get more on the pod to talk about. I don't

92
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,439
even know if anyone would know it would be more.

93
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:17,399
Speaker 1: Though, No, it would be mister Bannion himself.

94
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it went from selling cop of silver

95
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:23,480
plate back to a brass but he was retroactively given

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,720
a braces so it has to count.

97
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: You have to rub that asterix out. Buddy, who else

98
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,279
you got? You got any more? You're the stat guy

99
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:33,480
forgetting to two goats, two legends.

100
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,199
Speaker 2: Someone that's won our favorite event three times, mister Brian

101
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,759
Rass PVC Champions, Grinder, that's the favorite event, by the way,

102
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,720
should be uh the Grinder PPC champion as well. You

103
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,839
said Adam Freed, right, yeah, but wait, Grinder did three times? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

104
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:53,639
there's one more. Now this one you can put an

105
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:54,120
asterix on.

106
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: There's one more. There's one more. God, I, what's this

107
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:01,199
like the tag team event from the seventies back then,

108
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:02,959
So it wasn't a tag team event. It was a

109
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,519
mixed up ye whatever. Please get it right, Please get

110
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:05,920
it right.

111
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:08,199
Speaker 2: For the people we're trying to educate, these people at home,

112
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,720
you're calling it.

113
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: Listen, listen, we have give me the list, Give me

114
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,480
the list right now, but don't name this other person.

115
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,959
Speaker 2: Okay, list Johnny Moss, ju Wanga, Yeah, Adam Friedman, Brian Rast,

116
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:22,839
Brian Rasts, Michaels, grind Or Grin and obviously now Nick Shulman.

117
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's one more. Yeah, what's the event that

118
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:30,759
will give it away? What's the event? Five Codstud I

119
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:34,560
god idea? Bill Boyd? Yeah, alright, isn't this the one

120
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,839
where they yeah, this is this is for sure the

121
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,879
asterisk one because about this one, but that's not the

122
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:40,759
why of the asterix.

123
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: Ninety seventy one, Bill Boyd won the thousand dollars buying

124
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,120
five Cod stud tournament.

125
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: The next year the buying changed. This is where the asterisk.

126
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,680
The buying changed to ten thousand. He won that one.

127
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,639
Speaker 2: Next year ninety seventy three, still ten thousand dollars, he

128
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:57,439
won that that has an asterix because why and he

129
00:06:57,519 --> 00:06:59,920
had one player that was Bill Boyd because he has

130
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,519
the best five cuts up player. The next year, ninety

131
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,720
seventy four, buying changed a getting down to five k

132
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:06,879
way more entrance.

133
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: He won that for forty K.

134
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: So he won the same event four consecutive years, but

135
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560
the buying change. So that's where I put the asterisks.

136
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,160
I think it counts. But if you want an asterix

137
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,160
that either way four events in a row, you're not

138
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:24,399
going to get any better than Billy Voyd putting it.

139
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's just like a right, let's bring this back.

140
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:29,800
This just trained back on the tracks. I mean I

141
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:31,480
derailed it, so I'm not going to I'm not gonna

142
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:33,399
get mad at anyone but myself. I derailed it. I

143
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:36,639
just feeled it out. But we're feeling good. This is

144
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:40,120
this is timidized version of up till. When you get

145
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800
a night like this is the work up till like

146
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,439
you're just you're feeling pumped up like you're Is that

147
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:47,439
the right word? One hundred percent? Up till? What is

148
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:47,879
wrong with you?

149
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,319
Speaker 2: Have you never ever heard of even work in poker?

150
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,800
I've never heard that tilt. Yes, I've heard like, no,

151
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:56,279
that's not I've never heard that.

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, trust me. Listen the viewers and stuff, and

153
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,120
the people out there can can message us if they

154
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,079
think that I'm lying. I'm not saying you live just

155
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,519
never heard of it, exactly up till interesting exactly all right.

156
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,800
So Shulman third time winning this event. It was the

157
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:17,720
record setting tournament or the record setter for this tournament

158
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,040
two hundred and thirty three entries, four hundred ninety seven

159
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:23,040
thousand dollars. So it's it's it really is fitting that

160
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:25,519
Shulman wins it. You know, this really is the Nick

161
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,319
Shulman signature event. You know, if you were to if

162
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:30,360
you were to list poker players and then next to it,

163
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,639
list like their signature event, you know Shulman would be

164
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,440
ten K, Nolan Deuces seven Championship, Yes, Deil's choice, Bill

165
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,320
BOYD five. We got it. Yeah, see I knew I

166
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:44,279
went off the rails for a reason. He also won

167
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,639
it in twenty twelve for two hundred and ninety four k.

168
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:48,720
He won it in two thousand and nine for two

169
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:51,120
hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars. Now let's not also

170
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:54,919
for let's Let's also not forget twenty fifteen he came second. Yeah,

171
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,320
so you know he's an absolute crusher. I did a

172
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,919
video the other day twenty eleven he finished fifth. There

173
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,399
you go. I did a video the other day when

174
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,279
they got into the money in this event. Because when

175
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,279
they got into the money, Shulman cast for enough that

176
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,159
the mint cash was twenty thousand and change. He cast

177
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,320
for enough to move to the top of the ws

178
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,720
AP all time money list for this game no limitduced

179
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,440
to seven according to hendonmob dot com. So there was

180
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:27,360
that little accolade, little achievement that he unlocked, and then

181
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:29,759
he just goes on and wins the damn thing. I mean,

182
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,000
just just simply incredible stuff he did have to endure.

183
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:35,759
And trust me, it was a freaking end endurance match,

184
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,840
eight hour heads up match with Darren Olias. These guys

185
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,759
they I got here. I don't know what time I

186
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:47,279
got here today, two o'clock. Yeah, they were three handed.

187
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,519
It was Nick, it was Darren Olias, and it was

188
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,720
Chatty Sledge Chatty Sledge Bus around two thirty or three

189
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
something like that. I go, I have to go do commentary, Venetian,

190
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,480
I go over there. I come back. There's still heads

191
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:06,039
up Nick and Deren. I mean, just absolutely incredible stuff.

192
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,840
And I've been around the was AP, I've been in

193
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:12,879
the studio, Like I've seen Nick win plenty of things

194
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,080
now and I've never really seen him act as he

195
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,320
did afterwards. You know, you could just tell that it

196
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:23,360
was like a big release, like in Adrenaline dumb Like

197
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:25,120
he kind of had his hands on his head and

198
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:29,360
was kind of walking around just like like I'm free

199
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,039
in a way. Like it was. It was very weird,

200
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,639
you know. I can't imagine being in that intense of

201
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,600
a match. And Darren Is He's an incredible poker player.

202
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,279
He is extremely proficient in this game, which I think

203
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,320
might be overlooked by many people out there. Nick gave

204
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:49,600
him plenty of credits last night on the broadcast. When

205
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,039
I did that alongside Jared Bleslink and Joe Stapleton, Blesnik

206
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,799
gave a lot of credit to Darren Elis as well.

207
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:59,320
Darren Ellis I thought played exceptionally well, and he obviously

208
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:01,480
has a ton of results that we'll talk about in

209
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,440
a little bit in this format, you know, so just

210
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,720
having to go heads up, plus you know, Darren Is,

211
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,960
he's one of those guys who's searching for a bracelet

212
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:12,679
still you know, he's won so much stuff, but he

213
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,399
still has yet to claim a wsity bracelet. So I

214
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:18,080
think that when Darren gets gets to heads up, like

215
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,200
he just he locks in to another level, which means

216
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,799
that if you're Nick, you need to lock in to

217
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:26,279
at least match that if not, you know, exceed it.

218
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,039
So I think a lot was taken out of these

219
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,200
two in this heads up match, and you know, ultimately

220
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:35,240
Nick came out on top. And then afterwards as if

221
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,080
this guy wasn't tired enough and beaten down and all

222
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:40,919
that sort of stuff. From everything that that happened today,

223
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:44,519
he was kind enough to spend a few minutes with

224
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,519
me through an interview. So let's go to that interview

225
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:48,799
with Nick right now.

226
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,279
Speaker 3: I would say, both emotionally and professionally, this this one

227
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,120
really is really does kind of mean the most to me.

228
00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:00,200
I've said it to everybody asking me about to play

229
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,519
Darren heads up for six hours. That was like, that

230
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,879
was the first time I was really at peace with

231
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,240
the result no matter what, which is which is a

232
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,519
pretty uh kind of freeing feeling.

233
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,799
Speaker 1: You know, you can learn from that.

234
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:17,639
Speaker 3: But he's just such a great player and never gives

235
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,039
an inch. So I just feel lucky and and thankful.

236
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,679
I mean, if you keep showing up, stuff like this happens.

237
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,600
But yeah, and I love single draw, so to win

238
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,559
it three times and all of this stuff, it does

239
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,120
mean a lot to me. And I'm just I'm very happy,

240
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,000
you know. Just everybody says it's the kind of og

241
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,720
like you know, everyone says that, and I love how

242
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:44,679
it's got a little buzz about it, and you need

243
00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:48,600
you need players to just win it a few times

244
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,200
for some reason, to to just kind of inspire. Not

245
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:57,159
like I'm out here inspiring people making a low poker hands,

246
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,799
but like you know, any sport, like if somebody goes

247
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:04,960
off and does something like so, I've for a long

248
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,679
time I felt like in poker, single draw just that's

249
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:12,879
my shit, you know, Like I just I've played with

250
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,720
everybody I played with with Doyle, I played Johnny Chan

251
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,120
three handed once.

252
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,399
Speaker 1: For a week.

253
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: It was why with this other guy, it was a

254
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,159
crazy experience. I went to I basically moved to La

255
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:27,600
to play a single draw. You know, it didn't just

256
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:31,080
happen by accident. I mean, really, it's just the reps

257
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,240
and and caring about the game and yeah, so I'm

258
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:39,279
really overwhelmed. I mean, this guy's not looking for anybody

259
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,879
to feel sorry for him and stuff. But I just

260
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,639
I was emotional playing Darren, like I feel like we

261
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:47,000
just became best friends kind of like you know, it's

262
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,080
just something like that is crazy, you know, like and

263
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,799
it's it wasn't just that, it was it was all

264
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:56,000
day yesterday and and uh or today even I don't

265
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,039
you know, it was this was a wild tournament. I

266
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,759
mean it was really one of the best structures ever.

267
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:03,919
Speaker 1: That I recall.

268
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,919
Speaker 3: You know, it went to ninety minute levels, and yeah,

269
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,759
I was overwhelmed. I got a little misty, you know.

270
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,159
Speaker 1: Was it hit me hard.

271
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: It was just when I had my daughter, who you know,

272
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:19,879
it's not that cash. Cash may even be a smarter

273
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,480
way to go, but it was just I just started

274
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,639
liking to just wake up in the morning and go

275
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:28,720
to sleep at night and kind of hang out with

276
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,639
the family and just know when I'm playing and when

277
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:34,840
I'm not playing, and you know, I might return one

278
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:38,600
day to cash, but it just I just decided to

279
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:42,440
sort of go go all out in tournaments, at least

280
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,360
here in Vegas. I felt like there was enough stuff

281
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,759
I could play and I really enjoy them, you know.

282
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,799
And I also kind of refound a love for no limit.

283
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,600
So I'd be lying if if I didn't say that.

284
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,639
It's basically my primary source of income. And you know,

285
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:03,840
I've made a few mistakes over the years, so I'm

286
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:07,399
not just retired, so to speak. And I want to

287
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,159
build and you know, do it right this time. So

288
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,720
that's a big part of what keeps me coming. However,

289
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,919
even if I was didn't have to play, I would play.

290
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:21,720
I just you know, poker makes me better. It's just

291
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,399
if you're not right with yourself and you know, you

292
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:29,440
don't find some humbleness and stuff like that. You know,

293
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:33,120
this game it really will mess you up bad, you know.

294
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:37,120
And I don't wish that on anybody, but for me,

295
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:37,919
I get it.

296
00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: You know.

297
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: I can come in, I can lose, I can get

298
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:42,879
my heart broken. It's okay, you know. I just try

299
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,200
my best and let God handle the rest. And I

300
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,200
really do believe that, So it means a lot, you know,

301
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,919
It's it's a profound thing. I don't you get to

302
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,120
a point where all these guys, you know, I'm wishing

303
00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:00,360
all these guys. I love seeing people do you know,

304
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:04,360
tremendous things and stuff, and like, I don't know what

305
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,639
to say, but it does mean something to me. I

306
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,039
don't want it to define me. I don't want it

307
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:13,440
to because these things are fleeting in a sense like

308
00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:20,799
there's more to you know, but I'm proud and you know,

309
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:25,360
big shout out to my mom, love you, miss you.

310
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: So there was Nick Shulman. I mean you could hear

311
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,440
it from him, right. It definitely means a lot to him.

312
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,879
He touched a bit on his legacy. He talked, you know,

313
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,360
kind of briefly about you know, past mistakes that he

314
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:49,240
had made and how he kind of wants to write things.

315
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:51,639
A big turning point in his life was having his

316
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:55,519
daughter again. He spoke very highly of Darren, you know,

317
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:59,159
he talked about how this event really caters to him

318
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,759
and like what it means to him and what it

319
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,759
means to have success in this uh in this specific event.

320
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:07,400
So yeah, you know, just great stuff all around from

321
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,519
Nick Shulman. He's you know, one of the coolest cats

322
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:14,519
and poker for sure, and it's good to hear him,

323
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,079
you know, open up like that in the wake of

324
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,920
a of a win. Now my question for you, sir,

325
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:26,000
where does Nick Shulman rank all time in poker?

326
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: All time?

327
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? All time? I mean, I'm asking it because I

328
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,720
have an agenda here. I believe that he is among

329
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,640
one of the absolute best all time, like like short

330
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,680
list best, like top five all time, top six, like

331
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:49,240
like like guaranteed for sure, top ten I think, you know,

332
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,960
So where does he rank for you? Like you would?

333
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,200
So a lot of people say, like, okay, well where

334
00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:56,880
is where does somebody rank all time? And then they'll

335
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,519
just be like, well, this guy has this many bracelets,

336
00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:00,480
this guy's this many brasis. Let's run down the list, right,

337
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,920
or they'll go, okay, this is the all time money list,

338
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,160
this guy is this is like you know, and Nick

339
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,519
isn't at the top of those lists. Yeah, okay, right,

340
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,759
But that doesn't mean that he's not one of the

341
00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:13,079
greatest of all time. People often talk about Chip Reese. Yeah, now,

342
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,000
he's nowhere near the top of tournament leaderboard lists, right,

343
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,279
but if you ask anyone, he's arguably, if not the

344
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,000
greatest poker player of all time. Right, So that's kind

345
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:24,680
of what I'm getting at here. You know, where where

346
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,359
does Nick Rake all time. I would say he's surefire

347
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,960
like top ten for me in this, you know, I

348
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,759
would have probably said that before this he's up there,

349
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:36,599
and this I think only like really solidifies that he's

350
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:39,480
definitely not top five. You know we can rule that out. Wow,

351
00:18:39,839 --> 00:18:41,920
just just right away, just right away.

352
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's be honest if we're trying to factor

353
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,680
everything in with what is poker, not just telling you results.

354
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,799
Helmuth Doyle, m'gronor ivy Eh, maybe he could be five,

355
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,480
He's definitely top ten. It's more of a question of

356
00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:59,839
you know, where do we rank Shulman versus Eric Sidel?

357
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,039
Where we ran Shulman versus you know, we go We've

358
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:04,960
got to wind the clock way back to the Johnny Moss.

359
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,799
You know where did John Hennigan stand in this? Gott

360
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:11,279
sever Johnny Chan, some of these names definitely top ten

361
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:12,000
and well some.

362
00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: Of those names, by the way, now that Nick has

363
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,079
seven bracelets, sever John Hennigan, Nigran new you know, Billy Baxter,

364
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,559
you know they all have seven.

365
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, so Nick is right there with them. I'm

366
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,680
going to read you just said he won his seventh bracelet.

367
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,079
He's tied for fifth fastest to seven bracelets. Okay, so

368
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,759
if we are talking about you know, the longevity and

369
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,400
the legacy. You know, we have mass ivy Helm with

370
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:39,279
Sidel and Shulman's tied with Doyle was at sixteen years

371
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,119
to get his seventh bracelet. Side note, side fact on

372
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,640
Doyle it was thirteen years between six and seven. So

373
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,519
he won six bracelets in three years, then took thirteen

374
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:54,960
years off well off Slash didn't want to play tournaments,

375
00:19:55,079 --> 00:19:56,839
was winning millions of dollars in cash hands.

376
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: But either way, so just taking that stat which which

377
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,400
on it? Which is? And you heard Nick talk about it,

378
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,119
Ask him about he used to play a lot of

379
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,799
cash games, and I believe he even told our colleague Remco,

380
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720
you know, several years ago when it was over at

381
00:20:10,759 --> 00:20:14,359
the Rio, that you know, oftentimes just the cash games

382
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,920
are too good, that the money is too big, Like

383
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,640
he'll skip tournaments for him. You know, now as you

384
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,799
heard him in the interview, he has transitioned essentially fully

385
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:23,599
two tournaments. Yeah.

386
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,799
Speaker 2: Perfect, So he's right on the cosp of breaking into

387
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,200
that top five. You know, is there a world where

388
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:32,640
he is regarded as in Poker's mounts Rushmore? You know,

389
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,920
it's going to be always going to be hard to

390
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,680
knock off both Phils and Daniel. It's that fourth spot

391
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:40,799
that I think the modern generation of poker fans and

392
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,119
poker media could see him, you know, pushing out a Doyle,

393
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,359
pushing out an Eric Sidel or whoever they may have

394
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:46,920
in fourth.

395
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: So he's making a case.

396
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: And as you said, the biggest thing about him, plays

397
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,319
all the games, has bracelets in all the games, right, Like,

398
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,119
It's not like he's a one trick pony or he

399
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,599
can only win in mixed, or can only win no limit.

400
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,440
You know, he's got the no limit bracelet last year,

401
00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:06,200
he's got the deuce bracelets, he's got the stud bracelet,

402
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,759
plays everything, plays all the buyings too, you know, he

403
00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:12,640
plays from fifteen hundred all the way up to you know,

404
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:15,920
sometimes one hundred k, fifty k's and and all that.

405
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,880
So one of the most well rounded players in WSP history,

406
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,599
and he is forging a legacy that is going to

407
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,799
be hard to be matched by anyone.

408
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:28,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the reason why I wanted to bring

409
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,880
this up is I kind of got started to thinking,

410
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,920
and I don't know what exactly it was. I know,

411
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:36,119
Nick is a big boxing guy. I enjoyed boxing as well,

412
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,079
probably way more than I should, because you know, every

413
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:39,440
time I watch a fight, I want to rip my

414
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,119
breaking teeth out because of what just happened or how

415
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,240
they judged it or whatever. And I was trying to think, like,

416
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:48,799
you know, pound for pound rankings, right, because it's it's

417
00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:51,160
often hard, Like, well, it's hard in boxing because you

418
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,759
know all these different weakhasses, right, And my like drawing

419
00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:59,599
to that is that you have like all these different

420
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,160
very and poker right, like when people say that who's

421
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,599
the greatest poker player of all time and then you

422
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,880
throw out her name like I don't know, like let's

423
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,400
just say Fador Holes because he had that crazy run

424
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,200
once and I remember at the time, I was like, well,

425
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,680
he's the greatest Nolan Holme tournament player right now, and

426
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:18,720
maybe he goes on to be that ever, yes, but

427
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,000
like when you say poker player, like I think everything,

428
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:25,440
like you gotta be able to do it all, you know.

429
00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:28,720
So that's where I come back to then boxing saying,

430
00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:31,039
you know, like pound for pound, like when you're able

431
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,920
to stack everyone up against each other, like you can

432
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,799
take someone who's already won two braces. This year been

433
00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:38,759
a Glasar right. I mean he's known as a mixed

434
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:41,960
game specialist, but you can still like somehow put him

435
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,799
in the conversation for different things, right, you know, So

436
00:22:46,039 --> 00:22:48,079
it's hard to take like kind of a one trick pony,

437
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,880
but Nick is not. He does everything, you know. So

438
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:56,759
I ended up landing on Bernard Hopkins was my pick.

439
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,599
I mean I kind of thought that one Bernard Hopkins

440
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,480
called the Executioner, Nick was called the Takeover. So like

441
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:04,759
they're like just I mean, it's the cool nickname. It

442
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:06,519
doesn't they don't really draw to each other at all.

443
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,720
You know, they're cerebral surgical age like fine Wine. I

444
00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:14,160
think Nick is like this like like the aging like

445
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,079
fine Wine. To me, like when it comes to poker,

446
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:22,200
is you just get better and better as time goes

447
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,079
on and you're able to stick with the modern game.

448
00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:27,880
But also you have to be able to take it

449
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,319
to the streets at some point, which again in the interview,

450
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,000
like you heard and it kind of hint at that

451
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,960
like like this game specifically, you kind of be able,

452
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:38,359
got to be able to just get in there and

453
00:23:38,519 --> 00:23:41,759
like you know, throw some some punches. You know. Yeah,

454
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:45,359
there's the there's a super technical modern game, right, but

455
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:48,720
at least as it pertains to this game that many

456
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:50,799
people refer to many of the greats referred to as

457
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,279
the purest form, if not one of the purest forms

458
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:55,640
of poker. You just got to be able to get

459
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,160
in there like bare knuckle and just just go at

460
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,279
it with people, right, look your guy in the face,

461
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,880
you know, and that's it. There's there's two streets of betting.

462
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,160
There's pre draw, there's post draw. Like you know, you

463
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,079
got to really feel it out. You heard Blessnik talk

464
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,759
a lot about this last night in the in the broadcast,

465
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,720
So you know, I just think when it comes to

466
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,720
like the aging like fine wine. You know, again, you

467
00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:19,279
see so many people in poker that come and go.

468
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,000
They're a flash in the pan. Now maybe that flashes

469
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,160
a little bit longer than you know, a couple of seconds.

470
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,039
It's a year long, or it's two years long. But

471
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:28,039
they kind of come in, they pop in, they have

472
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,960
their run, and then you kind of don't hear from

473
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,039
them anymore in terms of winning big things or whatever.

474
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:37,200
Nick is also a technician in every game which you

475
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:39,799
pointed to. He's done it all over the place, right,

476
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,359
and he continues to do it. We see that, you know,

477
00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:45,119
every single series on the PGT it doesn't matter what

478
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:48,319
it is Nicks in the studio blasting. Yeah, here the series,

479
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,880
it doesn't matter what it is Nixon the tournament blasting.

480
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,880
It can be one hundred k high roller, you know,

481
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:55,079
it can be a three K horse tournament, it can

482
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,559
be a fifteen dollars seven cards stud Like, he's all

483
00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:01,680
over the place, but he's so well and good at everything.

484
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:05,400
And again there's like that old school intensity, which which

485
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,799
I think also makes Nick like so cool to people.

486
00:25:08,279 --> 00:25:10,720
He's like he's he's old school. He's like old Vegas.

487
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:12,200
You know, you can tell by like the kind of

488
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,279
the clothes he wears and whatnot. Like you can feel

489
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:16,599
it when he's locked in. You know, he doesn't need

490
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,480
to say much, but then when he does speak, it's

491
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,279
just incredible. He's like his own brand in a way exactly.

492
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:27,160
So Yeah, I mean, I also think that again, he

493
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,240
understands the game now. He talked about a bit about

494
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,759
that maturity thing in the interview, and I think that

495
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,160
he understands the game more now than he ever did.

496
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:42,039
And he's also kept himself up with you know, studying

497
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,079
and getting better. I think you see a lot of

498
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,640
players who they kind of just get complacent with where

499
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,640
they are and they get so they like win a

500
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,599
bunch because they're obviously very good and they probably studied

501
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,640
some but then they they might not try and push

502
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,279
to that next level. So you know, there's that sort

503
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:02,480
of stuff. So, yeah, that's where I'm at with him.

504
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:06,640
He's he's Poker's Bernard Hopkins is where I'm at. Authentic

505
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,720
poker is his craft, you know, the way he carries himself,

506
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:12,440
all that sort of stuff. He commands the table in

507
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:16,440
any format, you know. So yeah, no gimmicks. He's just

508
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:18,400
a guy. He's freaking dead serious and he's just like

509
00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:20,880
the realest one in the game. So I think that

510
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:24,920
in and of itself is worthy of being considered one

511
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,720
of the best I'll say, pound for pound poker players.

512
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,200
And you know, I would rank him near the top. So, okay,

513
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,680
top ten for me, like all time. All of those

514
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:35,920
names that you said, I agree with, but you know,

515
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,240
for me, I think Shulman is certainly up there.

516
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: I think it's always going to be very individualized, right,

517
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:43,680
like how you perceive someone, what do you classify as

518
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,279
part of your you know, key fact I seen deciding this.

519
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that stuff for you and me.

520
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: I think at our ages is all about ambassadorship, and

521
00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:56,079
I think that's why like Negrono Helmwith gets some bonus points.

522
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,559
You know, in my mind, I think that's why some

523
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,039
people that might not be in the top ten and

524
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,640
get a few more points, like to me, like a

525
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,200
Mattisaw gains a little bit more because of what he

526
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,559
did when we were kind of growing up in this

527
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,480
industry and you know, watching it on ESPN and all

528
00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:12,119
that kind of stuff. So I think it's always like

529
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,200
any sport list, it's when you're ranking either favorites or

530
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,880
who you think best, you're always going to have your

531
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,799
own thoughts or outver value certain categories, right, And I

532
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,880
think you've kind of nailed some of those ones with Shulman.

533
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: So Shulman tops Darren Olias in Heads Up Play Now,

534
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,319
Darren Ollias is another one. Want I want to spend

535
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,079
a couple of minutes on here, second in this event

536
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,200
this year to Shulman for three hundred and thirty six thousand. Now, Darren,

537
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,039
He's like, first of all, you have to just hang

538
00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:44,359
your head high when you lose to Shulman, who's arguably

539
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,519
the greatest player in this game. So how can you like,

540
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:49,279
how can you feel upset about it?

541
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:49,559
Speaker 4: Now?

542
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: Of course, it sucks to lose in second. It sucks

543
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,640
to lose in any place in a tournament other than

544
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,119
first place. Right, It's one of those things I was

545
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,079
telling I was talking with Tristan Wade the other day

546
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:02,279
about this sort of stuff. And if you were to

547
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,799
tell me before a tournament, I'm gonna get second place

548
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,799
or I'm going to get seventh, make the final table,

549
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,960
yeah I would, And I could sign for that right

550
00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:12,599
now before the tournament even started. Snap sign. No one

551
00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:15,200
would ever not sign. But then you get that far

552
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,559
and the only thing you want is to win, and

553
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,680
it doesn't matter where you end up because the only

554
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:24,319
thing that matters is first place. So it's just it's

555
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,359
just such an fed up game tournament voter, It really is.

556
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:31,119
It just really messes with your mind and in order

557
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,680
to keep doing it and keep persevering and coming up coming,

558
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,039
you know, to play every single day, and a lot

559
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:39,440
of times it's getting your teeth kicked in. Like, there's

560
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,759
a lot to be said about that. Now. Darren Olias

561
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:45,200
has had this second place this year. He had a

562
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,559
third in twenty nineteen in this event this is just

563
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,519
this event, a third in twenty seventeen, and a ninth

564
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:54,599
in twenty fourteen. I know, Darren Olias is known as

565
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,759
the end boss of you know, like big Field nolanan

566
00:28:57,799 --> 00:29:02,000
Holden tournaments, also some high rollers as well. But this

567
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,119
game Nolan Deduce. He's incredible as yeah, and I thought

568
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,680
it would have been like tremendously fitting if he were

569
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:13,680
to win his first bracelet in this variant. I think

570
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,319
a lot of people would have thought, Okay, like he'll

571
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,119
just win some Nolan hold him bracelet sometime someday like that,

572
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,359
that'll probably come. But he performs so well in this tournament.

573
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,839
He's been close so many times, and this one again,

574
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,839
I mean just he's right there and at times he

575
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,200
has the chip lead heads up and he just you know,

576
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:34,000
for whatever reason, maybe he just ran bad, you know,

577
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,359
whatever it is, he just can't come out on top.

578
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,920
So he also had as it pertains to w s

579
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480
ap stuff because you know, Darren Olias is still searching

580
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,640
for a World Series of Poker gold bracelet. A third

581
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,319
in the twenty five K high Roller in twenty twenty three,

582
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,799
hit a fourth and three K six max in twenty

583
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,839
twenty two. You know how when you think of Darren Olias,

584
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,240
and I know a lot of us think of Darren

585
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,720
Ollias and we say, okay, he's the WPT goat, Like

586
00:29:59,799 --> 00:30:01,640
do you do you think having a bracelet or not

587
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,680
having a bracelet affects his legacy in any sort of way?

588
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:06,160
Like are people looking at him and be like, yeah,

589
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,440
but he couldn't do it there? You know the old

590
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,400
saying shout out producer rich Ryan, you know, do it

591
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,440
on a cold night in Stoke.

592
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,759
Speaker 2: I just continue, You know what, it's a probably good

593
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:21,079
question to ask him because you know, he's such a

594
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,759
measured like how does he feel?

595
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: I reckon he does?

596
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to guess that even though through that,

597
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,759
you know that stoic demeanor that he you know, portrays

598
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:32,640
at the table, that there's a little bit of a

599
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,359
burn inside that I've gone so close so many times,

600
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,759
and this is the one like notch that I don't have.

601
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,680
You know, I have the WPT titles, I have the

602
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:45,400
higher LATAs, I have PGT titles. I just don't have

603
00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:48,559
the WSP bracelet. And you know, kind of similar to

604
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,519
Brian Olman, who is like a crush around the WPT

605
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,240
as well. He won a w SP bracelet. I think

606
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,559
it was either the last year of the year before

607
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:57,680
it was online, but he still won one. You know,

608
00:30:57,759 --> 00:30:59,519
he got that monkey off his back. You know, he

609
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,640
was always regarded as one of the WBT goats along

610
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,720
with along with Darren, and I think Darren wants to

611
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:10,839
kind of break through and have a WSB bracelet along

612
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,119
with all his other accomplishments to like, you know, we

613
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,640
talk about Nick being well rounded. I think that goes

614
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,119
the same for Darren in terms of accomplishments. And you know,

615
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,680
he doesn't play a lot anymore. Does play WBTS does

616
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:25,960
come for some of our series and obviously the World series,

617
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,359
but he's not out there traveling the world anymore. He's

618
00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:31,039
got some kids at home, loves to pet a golf

619
00:31:31,119 --> 00:31:35,599
club around the golf courses back East. So yeah, I

620
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,559
think I think if we asked him to say, yeah,

621
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,039
it's something I really really really want and I'm sure

622
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,519
you know it's going to come eventually.

623
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's at least I feel like

624
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,160
I think you feel there with what you just said

625
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,640
that it really is a matter of time for Daron Olias. Again,

626
00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:52,160
I would have thought that it would have been very

627
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,000
fitting for him to win this tournament because I think

628
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:59,359
that it's one he holds, you know, very highly and

629
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:01,599
would have loved to win it. And then you know,

630
00:32:01,759 --> 00:32:04,519
had he beaten Nick Shulman two like, that's that's just

631
00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:07,440
icing on the cake to do it. But again, you know,

632
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,480
just gotta hold your head high because you know, second place,

633
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:13,880
a super super tough field final table is freaking stacked.

634
00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:16,039
You know, you gotta go heads up with the great

635
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,680
the greatest to ever do it in this game. You know,

636
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:21,240
you ultimately come out in second. So nothing to be

637
00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:24,079
ashamed of there. But eventually Darren's gonna get one, right,

638
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,799
And and I'll say that it's either going to be

639
00:32:26,839 --> 00:32:29,960
in the ten k nolam at deuce. He's either gonna

640
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,759
win that or he's gonna win like one of the

641
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,319
high rollers, maybe not the highest high roller, like maybe

642
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:38,079
not the two fifty k, but a twenty five k,

643
00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:41,279
like ten K six max, you know something like that. Right,

644
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,720
you know, that's that's right in Darren's wheelhouse.

645
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:45,799
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go to the opposite I'm going

646
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:48,240
to go and say he wins like the fifteen hundred shootout,

647
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,279
like the four hundred, like no limit hold him on

648
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:53,240
WSPN lote.

649
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't even know if he would bother

650
00:32:55,799 --> 00:33:00,279
to play that anymore? Why not? I just I just

651
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,920
don't know if he would. I mean, I don't know, maybe,

652
00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:07,240
but I don't see him doing it. He I know

653
00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:09,200
he had that was it a five hundred dollars bracelet

654
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,920
of it online that he had a final table? I

655
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,759
think he took fifth or something like that. Like, I

656
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:15,920
just don't see darennalized grinding online anymore. Well, I mean,

657
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,119
while he's here would make good bitterness. Well, I don't

658
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,680
like when he's here. I think he's in the he's

659
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:24,880
in it out there, like he's not like grind it online.

660
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:25,279
Speaker 4: You know.

661
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: Now, maybe I would say that if he does win

662
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,400
it all, let's say he wins it online bracelet, Yeah,

663
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,400
I would say it's more likely to come at home

664
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,960
in New Jersey than here. He's just home during some

665
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,799
online bracelet series and he just you know, fires it in.

666
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,759
Jason Kuhn fifty K high Roller Champion. He told us

667
00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:51,240
the other day he was going to win the two

668
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:54,039
hundred and fifty K super high Rollers, so that one's

669
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:56,000
still out there for the taking for now. But in

670
00:33:56,079 --> 00:34:00,559
the meantime he had to go and win the fifty

671
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,279
K high Roller almost two million dollars for first place

672
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:06,519
in this one one million, nine hundred and sixty eight

673
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,800
thousand for kun top day fuel of one hundred and

674
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,199
seventy one entries. He beat Andrew Lucky Chewy Lichtenberger and

675
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,800
heads up play who's good friends with? And he is,

676
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,000
you know, he said in the post win interview with

677
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,840
Jeff Platt that he's gone back fifteen something years with

678
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,159
Andrew Lucky Chewy Lichtenberger and then his best friend Ben

679
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,800
Toleeran finished in third place. Yeah, so that was very cool.

680
00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:32,960
I know that you talked with him afterwards and you

681
00:34:33,079 --> 00:34:35,800
asked him about, you know, playing with your friends and

682
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,679
how is that sort of thing, because you know, once

683
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,360
you get onto the table and you're playing for this

684
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,199
much money, it's ultimately war. But these are also your

685
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,119
very close friends and a whole bunch of other stuff

686
00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:45,760
that you hit on with him. So let's go to

687
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,920
that interview right now, and then we'll come on back

688
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,800
and we'll continue here.

689
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 2: With Jason Kern, two time WSP Bracon winner, When you

690
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,960
first in two thousand and twenty one Heads Up Championship

691
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,599
and now this incredibly tough event, How important is it

692
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:02,199
building upon your own personal WSP legacy.

693
00:35:02,599 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 4: I every time I win a tournament, especially since I

694
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,719
only play really big ones anymore, it just feels kind

695
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,519
of like a dream. You know, I'm like, Wow, I

696
00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:12,440
still get to win these Sometimes this is really hard

697
00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:14,400
and incredible. You know. You look around at the table

698
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,599
and it's just legend after legend and the fact that

699
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,360
I get to come in with only thirty percent of

700
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,639
the chips and win the whole thing. You know, it

701
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:22,679
doesn't happen very often.

702
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 2: You've accomplished so much in poker. What keeps you motivated

703
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,599
to come here? Battle and you know, take down tournament

704
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:30,199
off to tournament.

705
00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:34,079
Speaker 4: I really like to compete. I really like to compete.

706
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:38,239
I like to test myself. If I have a slow

707
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:41,159
couple of months, I start to feel this itch if

708
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,000
I need to be tested at something, and poker is

709
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:46,039
a great proving grounds for me because it's something that

710
00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:49,719
I'm very good at. And then I've you know, put

711
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,400
my entire life into for two decades, So it's just

712
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,119
something that's it fills something inside of me. That's the

713
00:35:57,159 --> 00:35:57,920
whole reason I do it.

714
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: Playing these high sex tournaments, the plays, you know, kind

715
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:03,320
of small. You've made some great friends, and he obviously

716
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,480
been tolerating the place, Finisha and even you know, Lucky

717
00:36:06,559 --> 00:36:08,880
chewing you you know your question, Yeah, when you're playing

718
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,159
for these high stakes, how hot is it to separate

719
00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:13,039
the friendship from pure competition.

720
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 4: It used to be a lot harder for me whenever

721
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,480
I had my ego wrapped up in the game. But

722
00:36:18,599 --> 00:36:22,119
once I separated worrying about the way that other people

723
00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:26,280
looked at me, and I just let all my friends know, Hey,

724
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,159
you know, I love you, but let's just poker is poker.

725
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,239
Let's compete the best that we can, and that way

726
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,440
we respect each other the most. And once I split

727
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,280
the ego from the game, it's freeing and we all

728
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,679
just go at it. And that's why you see us

729
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,960
play so hard against one another. You know, Like I

730
00:36:43,039 --> 00:36:45,320
said at Triton, when Ben and I got heads up

731
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,639
in that tournament, it's some of the most violent poker

732
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,440
I've ever played in my life has been against Ben.

733
00:36:50,639 --> 00:36:54,320
It's just absolutely violent. You know, we're just just battle

734
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,639
at one another and wouldn't have it any other way.

735
00:36:57,599 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: You've talked about playing less, you know, kids at home, family,

736
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,360
and just kind of hand picking the events you play.

737
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:05,719
Is there like a special satisfaction when you can actually

738
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,360
win one of these ones that you've kind of picked

739
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,119
out for your schedule?

740
00:37:08,199 --> 00:37:10,119
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean, like I was saying, this thing

741
00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:11,800
had one hundred and seventy seven runners. I was in

742
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,119
for one bullet to get to be here and win

743
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:16,639
the thing. You know, you don't get to do that

744
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,960
every year you play eight tournaments of the World Series.

745
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:20,719
Don't just get to show up and win one. So

746
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:25,199
it's it's it's really incredible, and I still don't really

747
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,159
know how how it's even possible. You just kind of

748
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:31,800
sit down and you you do the thing, and you

749
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,599
do what you know to do, and sometimes you.

750
00:37:33,639 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: Look up and you're holding bracelet.

751
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: The other day, we were walking the field, me and

752
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,800
Donny Peter's, and we saw you and you said, I'm

753
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:39,920
going to win this two fifty K.

754
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's this year it's going to happen. Yes,

755
00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:45,079
you just want the fifty k. Yeah, is the two

756
00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:46,800
fifty steal that white way. I'll seal that thing.

757
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: You'll chase.

758
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,119
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, the two fifty k is my main event.

759
00:37:50,039 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win it.

760
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:52,679
Speaker 4: I don't know if it'll be this year. I'm gonna

761
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:54,440
win that tournament you've won.

762
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: You know, we mentioned how much you've won, twelve trning

763
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,840
titles now to bracelets, pgt titles. When the dust settles

764
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,199
on your career, what do you want your legacy to

765
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:03,960
be defined?

766
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,079
Speaker 1: As well?

767
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 4: That I was honest and hard working, and I think

768
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,159
a lot of the people that saw me from the

769
00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:15,679
beginning how raw I was. I think that I've grown

770
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,000
exponentially as a person and as a player, and I

771
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:24,639
think that my career could be a testament to persistence

772
00:38:24,679 --> 00:38:27,599
in showing up and working your ass off, and being

773
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:30,880
honest with yourself and just iterating day in and day out,

774
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,440
what can I do to be better? What can I

775
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:36,079
do to be better? And you know, look back twenty

776
00:38:36,159 --> 00:38:37,559
years later, and you did some stuff?

777
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: All right? That was Jason Kuhn. You obviously know Jason

778
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,559
pretty well. I know Jason pretty well. You know what

779
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,639
kind of stood out to you talking to him after

780
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,079
that win. I think it's when I always talk to

781
00:38:51,159 --> 00:38:54,119
Jason Kerhn. I always find he's just so measured in

782
00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:57,280
these responses, so calm. He did a round of interviews

783
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,239
up on the stage onder the bride Ly Its got

784
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,239
moved down to where we were sitting with WSP, then

785
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:02,760
did with us.

786
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: He's he answers so perfectly everything. You know, I just

787
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,960
I don't get how these guys can do that sometimes,

788
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:10,920
Like you've just that.

789
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: That, well, let me just say that the large majority

790
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:14,320
of them do not.

791
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe it's look, maybe it's so we decide

792
00:39:17,519 --> 00:39:19,159
to talk to and we just we just pick right.

793
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,159
But like you just know that these guys are going

794
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,400
to give you the good answers and and you know,

795
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:28,119
provide all the stuff you need. And like you touched

796
00:39:28,119 --> 00:39:31,119
on it. I think it's interesting that you know, he

797
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,519
is dialing down. He's poker a little bit. You know,

798
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,519
he does obviously still play try AND's, he plays the

799
00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:38,239
biggest stuff, but yeah, he's hand picking his events and

800
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,960
obviously you know, played one of them, maybe what eight

801
00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:44,559
events he might play this summer. He ripped off that

802
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,639
second bracelet and yeah, but he still has that that

803
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,079
big golden carrot weight that he wants to chase down

804
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:52,559
which is the two fifty K super Hirola.

805
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: And and listen, once we know how important confidence and

806
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,920
momentum are and poker. So now that because he mentioned

807
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,639
in his interview, you know how at times he'll go

808
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,039
along period of time without really having results and he'll

809
00:40:06,119 --> 00:40:09,920
kind of get out of himself. But now it's early

810
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,079
in the series. He's already had this success to the

811
00:40:13,159 --> 00:40:15,599
best degree in terms of winning this high role or

812
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:18,760
super stacked field. So does he have the momentum? Does

813
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,800
he have the extra confidence now to go into that

814
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,599
two hundred and fifty k and just you know, ravage

815
00:40:23,679 --> 00:40:26,039
the thing, right, Yeah, I mean he'll start with the

816
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:28,119
hunter K. I'm assuming tomorrow. Yeah, yeah.

817
00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: I did ask him about the interview, like a two

818
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,559
hundred K tomorrow or tonight, and he goes tomorrow would

819
00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:33,639
definitely being that one tomorrow.

820
00:40:33,679 --> 00:40:35,639
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

821
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes I get this like very robotic vibe from Jason

822
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,840
Cooney in a way that nothing affects him win all loss,

823
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,880
And I think that I don't think the confidence changes.

824
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: I think it's always high for him. Well, I think

825
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:50,199
I think it goes both ways with him in terms

826
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,519
of the like being a robot and being a human

827
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,800
because I think on the felt he just can turn

828
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,239
it on. Yeah, I mean he's he's always been an athlete,

829
00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:04,800
and he's been a very good athlete. He did a

830
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,719
lot of track, a lot of sprinting, and I think

831
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,000
when you are a very good athlete, you have to

832
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:11,559
be dialed and you have to just be able to

833
00:41:11,639 --> 00:41:14,360
like flip that switch and like lock in. And I

834
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,360
think that's what you see when you see him compete

835
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,239
in these high rollers. Okay, but then off the felt, right,

836
00:41:20,519 --> 00:41:24,079
you know, he's like, let's go get a Starbucks. You know,

837
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,440
he's like a normal dude like you, but he has

838
00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:30,519
that gear where he can just turn it on, you know,

839
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:32,719
when the lights are the brightest, when it means the most.

840
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 2: I've seen him bust you know, two bullets in our

841
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:40,199
main event over at the Pugo Studio very quickly, and

842
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,639
all he does is just goes, Okay, guess it wasn't

843
00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:42,960
my day.

844
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,039
Speaker 1: Everyone to see light. I'll see you next series.

845
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 3: Have fun.

846
00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:47,679
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you, like, I'm pretty sure he did

847
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,440
not used to always be like that, because I've seen

848
00:41:49,519 --> 00:41:51,280
him kind of I mean, not that he's like going crazy,

849
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,119
but like you know, you visibly frustrated at times back

850
00:41:55,199 --> 00:41:58,119
in the day, but even even in the interview with you,

851
00:41:58,199 --> 00:42:00,719
he hit on like how he's matured, do it all

852
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,519
you knows. He's basically like like I'm at peace in

853
00:42:04,559 --> 00:42:07,519
a lot of ways with things. So you know, and

854
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,960
I likened Nick Shulman to Bernard Hopkins. I'm gonna do

855
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,480
another one, another another box Can we go to a

856
00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:19,679
sport on It's not another boxer, but it's close. I'm

857
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:23,400
gonna start jumping I f L and cricket people and throwing.

858
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:26,519
That's fine. I don't need to understand it. As long

859
00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:29,360
as someone out there understands it, then it works. Okay,

860
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,400
I'm going with GSP. Do you know who that is?

861
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:38,880
He's the French Canadian George Saint Pierre, hyper disciplined, physically gifted.

862
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,159
Not that that necessarily matters a whole ton in poker,

863
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,599
but you know, it probably matters when you're when you're

864
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:47,480
physically like up to speed with everything, it helps you mentally,

865
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:52,280
it helps you emotionally. GSP was always obsessed with optimal performance,

866
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,599
which I think Jason Kuhne is. We know that he's obsessed, Yeah,

867
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,760
we we know, And I think he hit it on

868
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,119
a bit in the interview, and I think people just

869
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:05,000
Jason Kuhn is EFN obsessed. Okay, he's obsessed. He he

870
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:08,239
doesn't play a lot these days, but you better believe

871
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,679
he is constantly studying and working to get better. The

872
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,079
guy is freaking obsessed. And GSP was like he was obsessed.

873
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:20,480
He studied every single edge, from diet to mindset to movement,

874
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,400
you know, to different styles, all that sort of stuff.

875
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,079
And I think Jason Kuhn probably approaches poker similarly to

876
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:32,239
how GSP approached fighting, you know, in MMA. So that's

877
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,039
that's what I do. And at the end of the day,

878
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,199
GSP is seems like a kind of he seems like

879
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,400
he has that switch. I mean, I know he has

880
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,039
that switch. I've watched plenty of YOUFC. You can tell

881
00:43:41,039 --> 00:43:42,239
he has that switch. When he gets in the ring,

882
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,639
he's a total f N killer in the octagon, total

883
00:43:44,679 --> 00:43:47,480
cook killer. When Kuhn gets on the table, total killer.

884
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,280
But when he's off of it, you know, nice normal guy.

885
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,400
So it's that brains, it's that precision, you know, it's

886
00:43:53,519 --> 00:43:56,760
that physical specimen. Again, not that that necessarily means all

887
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,400
that much in poker, but it is if you're sitting

888
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,880
at a table, Kuhn, it must feel imposing when he's

889
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,079
sitting there, broad shoulders, you know, fucking chisel jawline, just

890
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:09,440
like staring you down, like you know, raising you for

891
00:44:09,639 --> 00:44:12,159
betting you, like whatever? Right? I mean, how did brock

892
00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:14,519
Wilson feel today when Coon pushed him off that chop?

893
00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:16,039
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean, It's like it's like

894
00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:18,440
this effing guy, like the freaking iceman over here. It's

895
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,119
just ridiculous.

896
00:44:19,159 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: So Kun is the tactician, and that's why I'm going

897
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:26,760
to compare him to GSP. So we got we got

898
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,159
Shulman's the Bernard Hopkins, we got Kuhn is the GSP.

899
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,320
We should do this for every person who's a like

900
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,760
I don't know this. We can have your own here.

901
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,519
Jason Jason Dwong, the fifteen hundred dollars limit holding player,

902
00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:47,199
who's he I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. Is Jason

903
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,480
Kuhn the best high roller of all time? Like just

904
00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:52,760
when I say that, think of somebody who like only

905
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,159
focuses on high roers. Because we know Kun, you know,

906
00:44:55,199 --> 00:44:57,079
we've joked about it many times. He's not getting out

907
00:44:57,079 --> 00:44:59,159
of bed for anything twenty five k, and at this

908
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,199
point in his career it might be anything lower than

909
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:01,679
a fifty K.

910
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,119
Speaker 2: There's only about four names that can really be up

911
00:45:06,199 --> 00:45:10,719
for debate in this category. And I think that Well,

912
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:13,840
you mentioned fatal Hols. You know you have to consider, Hey,

913
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,559
he doesn't play that much anymore, but you know one

914
00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:16,519
time couldn't lose.

915
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:18,599
Speaker 1: Well, that's but that's that's got to be part of

916
00:45:18,639 --> 00:45:21,880
the question in that you know, similarly to Shulman, and

917
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,559
it's it's also kind of coincidental that Shulman and Kuon

918
00:45:24,599 --> 00:45:29,000
are good friends. Yeah, but Kuhn is still doing it

919
00:45:29,119 --> 00:45:31,880
like you have to still do it right, like you

920
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,400
can say Dan Coleman, for example, came in lit the

921
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,440
world on fire and some of the biggest buy ins

922
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,280
around the tournament circuit. But where is he now? So

923
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,840
can you really put him in like yeah, I think

924
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,239
now one second, Like someone like that you would say

925
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,599
had an all time run, right, so continue, No.

926
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, you know, he doesn't play that much

927
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,239
more anymore, but he did focus solely on the high

928
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,480
roll as another person, you know, you have to mention

929
00:45:57,639 --> 00:45:59,519
his brain. Kenny is on top of the old time

930
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:00,119
money list.

931
00:46:01,159 --> 00:46:06,119
Speaker 1: For whatever reason. Maybe it's the whole Shaman frog poison crap,

932
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,119
who knows, But like I feel like Brin Kenny just

933
00:46:08,159 --> 00:46:12,320
doesn't get his respect. Now, I don't care if you

934
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,840
respect someone or don't respect someone as a person and

935
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,239
what they do and all that sort of stuff. I'm

936
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,159
just talking about his results on the film and brit

937
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,159
Kenny freaking performs in the when there is a massive

938
00:46:21,199 --> 00:46:23,920
buying tournament. Brin Kenny is always just like one of

939
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,159
the favorites for sure, and he's gonna perform. M hm.

940
00:46:26,599 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: He might just be uber high rollers, only it feels

941
00:46:29,039 --> 00:46:32,320
sometimes like two fifty knet higher, although he did play

942
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,679
this fifty k he did two more names one we

943
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,519
haven't really seen it all this once. There is Justin

944
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:39,440
Bonomo used to be high roll around the Isaac Hackson

945
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:42,760
is another one. But going back to your question, without doubt,

946
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,280
Jason curt is number one when it comes to high roles,

947
00:46:46,639 --> 00:46:50,800
mainly because the consistency over the years he plays. He

948
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,119
still is playing everything as high as he can go.

949
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,559
You know, he plays down. We say down to twenty

950
00:46:57,639 --> 00:47:01,719
five ks down right for him down and you know,

951
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,199
even out off the felt you know, as we kind

952
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:07,719
of touched on the interviews, you know, the way he

953
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,599
kind of interacts with players, fans, you know, peers, people

954
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:14,840
he doesn't know. He's just a world class individual and

955
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,360
while also being a world class poker player and a

956
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,480
crusher at high stakes.

957
00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: So number one by a landslide. I think I would

958
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,800
agree with you. The only reason why I say I

959
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,559
think is because I think if you asked Kun, he

960
00:47:29,679 --> 00:47:32,880
might say his best friend Ben Tolering, because I think

961
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,719
all these guys hold Ben Toleran so high. But I

962
00:47:36,519 --> 00:47:38,960
agree that I think Kun is the best high roller

963
00:47:39,079 --> 00:47:40,880
of all time and will continue to do it.

964
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Ben's obviously a crusher. He's won a

965
00:47:44,679 --> 00:47:46,920
bunch of our van's last year. One of the reasons

966
00:47:47,199 --> 00:47:50,000
it's just not is because PLO too like including.

967
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean Kuhne plays some of the big feels.

968
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,519
I sets jumping into that as well.

969
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 2: But you know, those other guys just don't have that

970
00:47:57,599 --> 00:48:00,559
resume that you know, Jason does twelve I've tried and

971
00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:05,559
titles to WSP bracelets, PGT Champion, PGT Championship winner. Yeah,

972
00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:08,719
so you know, Band and Seth may be better, but

973
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,039
they just don't have those accomplishments that Jason has a

974
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:14,280
mass over the last you know, ten years while he's

975
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:14,840
been in the game.

976
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: Is he going to get that white? Well? The two

977
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,840
fifty k this year? This this year?

978
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 2: How many people played it last year? Seventy Santos win it? Yeah,

979
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,280
seventy something. Ye, I mean I would say he could.

980
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:32,519
He will get it.

981
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: If there's an odds board for that tournament, Santos's number one.

982
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,119
Shout out to Jesse Lonas being whatever the hell he

983
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:46,000
was sixteen to something ridiculous. Kun's got to be number one, right,

984
00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:49,760
I mean right, like the odds on favorite. I mean,

985
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,960
it has to be the favorite. He's he's for sure

986
00:48:54,039 --> 00:48:54,800
in the top three.

987
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,639
Speaker 2: Well, are you talking this from the sportsbook perspective or

988
00:48:57,639 --> 00:48:58,679
are you talking this from.

989
00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: The I'm saying if we were, I'm saying, if we

990
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,519
were to set the odds like I would have him

991
00:49:03,519 --> 00:49:05,039
in the I would have him probably number one, if

992
00:49:05,079 --> 00:49:07,119
not top three, Yeah, I mean top three for sure,

993
00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:11,079
but likely number one. Yeah. And especially now, you know,

994
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,039
because this is like you win a couple of games,

995
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,440
you're going into the you know, the big game. So

996
00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:20,119
he's got that momentum again, he's got that confidence with him. No, definitely,

997
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:20,960
I agree with that.

998
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, if it's going to have seventy to eighty

999
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,719
player fields for a few more years, who knows for

1000
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,119
how long, I would say, yeah, he.

1001
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,159
Speaker 1: Might be able to get it.

1002
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,119
Speaker 2: But his winning Parker is not easy, especially that one.

1003
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,360
He could go to the rest of his career without

1004
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,920
winning it, and that's not a knock against.

1005
00:49:38,199 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: And he also feels like a type of guy where

1006
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,519
and this is like kind of silly, but I kind

1007
00:49:43,519 --> 00:49:45,400
of also do believe in this sort of stuff where

1008
00:49:47,199 --> 00:49:49,519
he really believes it and he's going to do everything

1009
00:49:49,559 --> 00:49:51,639
in his power to make it happen yea. And I

1010
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,760
just feel like that sort of self belief, self will,

1011
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,599
uber confidence is going to propel him to get it done.

1012
00:50:00,159 --> 00:50:01,400
I don't know if it's going to be this year,

1013
00:50:01,639 --> 00:50:05,639
but I think it could very well happen in the

1014
00:50:05,679 --> 00:50:08,480
next two to three years. So that's where I'm at

1015
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:10,760
with him winning the two hundred and fifty K Super

1016
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,480
high Roller. But congratstick Jason Kuhn one point nine to

1017
00:50:13,519 --> 00:50:17,320
sixty eight million dollars for winning the fifty K high Roller.

1018
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,880
Jason Dwong won the fifteen hundred dollars limit hold them.

1019
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,119
According to Poconus, he was down to two big bets

1020
00:50:31,639 --> 00:50:35,159
in heads up play, but ultimately stormed on back listen

1021
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,840
when you're down, but not out the whole chip and

1022
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,679
a chair thing. I know everyone jokes about it. It

1023
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,360
is legit. We have seen people time and timing, and

1024
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,960
we just saw it the other day Chin or even

1025
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:47,239
nik wa GENTI I mean, don't Nick, I don't think

1026
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:48,599
it was down to two big bets. He was down

1027
00:50:48,599 --> 00:50:51,199
to six, yeah, and Chino had a pile over there,

1028
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:52,920
and Chino was running his mouth, I mean in a

1029
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,679
friendly way, running his mouth, you know, talking crap, like

1030
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,920
having fun, all that sort of stuff. No, Nick stood

1031
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,880
strong and fought all the way back. And one here

1032
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:04,199
Jason Dwong fights all the way back and wins his

1033
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,719
first goal brace at one hundred and thirty thousand dollars

1034
00:51:07,079 --> 00:51:09,360
as well, he topped a field of four hundred and

1035
00:51:09,519 --> 00:51:14,719
ninety one entries. Adam Taiberski finished in second, Lawrence Robinson

1036
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,719
third in this one eighty six thousand dollars for Adam Tiberski,

1037
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:23,639
Lawrence Robinson fifty and nine K. We talked about it yesterday,

1038
00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:27,000
but again Chris Unikan finishing eighth place. Had no idea

1039
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,400
he played limit hold him, had no idea he would

1040
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,880
ever be in a fifteen hundred dollars by a tournament period,

1041
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,559
So that was a surprise. And then Ian Johns finished

1042
00:51:36,679 --> 00:51:41,519
in ninth place. There the three thousand dollars. Nolamit hold

1043
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:46,159
them freeze out? They are down to eight players?

1044
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight players? Yeah, who do we got anyone? Brenett

1045
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:54,519
Bodanov is the chip leader, bracelet win. Varis kolev is

1046
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,239
in the drafted the wrong Borus. We did every time.

1047
00:51:58,519 --> 00:52:00,840
Every time I go to the app and I look

1048
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,039
at the names, I look up Boris and I see

1049
00:52:03,159 --> 00:52:05,920
Boris Cola and I'm like, God, damn it, we drafted

1050
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,960
the wrong Bores. And I honestly had Boris in some

1051
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:12,320
of my research, and I ultimately we picked Boris Angelo.

1052
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: It's the wrong one. Yeah, we got a blame Jonathan

1053
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,880
Tomorrow for the bors Angelot.

1054
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 2: Then come back tomorrow chasing four hundred and fifty one

1055
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,679
thousand for first. It's a nice little payday for players

1056
00:52:24,079 --> 00:52:28,239
sitting fourth. Anatoly Nicotin, he what did he catched the

1057
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,840
fifty k or the twenty five k? One of those

1058
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,119
he just cashed like the other day. So he clearly

1059
00:52:36,159 --> 00:52:40,519
hopped straight into this event. And then yeah, maybe catch

1060
00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:44,840
the thirteenth in the twenty five k or ninety thousand dollars.

1061
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,559
Speaker 1: There you go. I remember seeing him around there quite

1062
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,920
a bit. Ten thousand dollars plow high low eight or

1063
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,880
better championship. That's a mouthful. How much is PLO eight? Yes,

1064
00:52:57,079 --> 00:52:58,559
that's better. Where are we at?

1065
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 2: Twenty seven players left from three hundred and eighty six entrance,

1066
00:53:02,199 --> 00:53:04,880
whopping seven hundred and sixty three thousand dollars first prize.

1067
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: They're all in the money. Is this guarantee a record?

1068
00:53:08,039 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 3: I big?

1069
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 1: Is this field? I shouldn't say is it a record?

1070
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,960
I should say, how does this field compared to I.

1071
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,519
Speaker 2: Think it will beg It feels big, but I think

1072
00:53:15,519 --> 00:53:19,280
it's that big. Lots of legends still in Kwanzo, Chip

1073
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,719
Later second and Chips, Chris Fitch, Sean Dave, fifth and Chips,

1074
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,880
John Shuman, Eric Wassson, Phil Sternheim.

1075
00:53:27,519 --> 00:53:32,559
Speaker 1: Johnny Blessed, baby Brian. We need a chance. I need

1076
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:37,960
producer Rich. I need to make one of those soccer chance. No, no, no,

1077
00:53:38,079 --> 00:53:39,760
but it's got to be. Rich is really good at

1078
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,440
this and and like he like, make it for John

1079
00:53:43,519 --> 00:53:46,400
John Shrman. Okay, yeah right, we need we need it, Rich,

1080
00:53:46,519 --> 00:53:47,480
We absolutely need it.

1081
00:53:48,199 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 2: Alan Kess, Brian Rass, Andy McLeod, Ronald Kaija, Matt Vangram

1082
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,760
ben Yu straight from the deuce, straight into this after

1083
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,239
busting today he's sitting nineteenth in chips.

1084
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,599
Speaker 1: This name, I'm not so sure on and I wish

1085
00:54:03,639 --> 00:54:04,400
I saw it earlier.

1086
00:54:05,039 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 2: If Guinny Timshenko, okay, I saw this in the app today, okay,

1087
00:54:09,519 --> 00:54:11,599
and I was like, oh, clearly somebody changed their name

1088
00:54:11,639 --> 00:54:13,960
to have Guinny Tamashenko another person that I saw.

1089
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:15,639
Speaker 1: I think it was this tournament. They were at the

1090
00:54:15,679 --> 00:54:19,400
top of the chip guns earlier. It said retracted like

1091
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,760
sill in that guy's skill in So but is that

1092
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:26,320
is that actually retracted or did they just change their name.

1093
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,679
Speaker 2: I think his name is retracted. That's the code name.

1094
00:54:29,039 --> 00:54:31,840
I think that's if Ganny is probably who would.

1095
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: No listen, Guiney. I went over there. I went over

1096
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,000
there and it was Guiney. And when I went over there,

1097
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:39,800
I ran to the bathroom and I was coming back

1098
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,559
and I saw you Guiney, and Daniel was at the

1099
00:54:42,599 --> 00:54:47,000
other table. Is Daniel Stilling no yes, I don't know. Anyway,

1100
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,559
it doesn't matter. Daniel was at the table next to

1101
00:54:49,639 --> 00:54:51,800
his and he comes over and he said something to

1102
00:54:52,159 --> 00:54:54,000
ye Genny like oh, I haven't seen we haven't seen

1103
00:54:54,039 --> 00:54:55,599
you in forever or something like that, and he asked

1104
00:54:55,679 --> 00:54:58,199
him where he was and if Guenny was like he

1105
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,400
started to kind of try and answer, and Dan just goes,

1106
00:55:00,679 --> 00:55:03,599
are you doing drugs? Are you doing drugs? Just you

1107
00:55:03,639 --> 00:55:05,679
know Daniel, he just like goes in with crazy ship

1108
00:55:06,079 --> 00:55:09,119
and Guinny's like kind of like, what, what's what's happening?

1109
00:55:09,119 --> 00:55:10,800
He's like, no, no, no, I was. I was just

1110
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,519
in Europe for the past couple of summers and Dan

1111
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:18,559
was like, doing drugs just so random, But yeah, so

1112
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:23,800
it is legit, Getty, I mean obviously, yeah, he looks

1113
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,440
the same. I mean I I surefire recognized him right away.

1114
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,000
And I was immediately thinking, like we got to get

1115
00:55:30,039 --> 00:55:32,159
a camera on. You're getting Team of Sanko, Like, where

1116
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,360
the heck has this guy been Team a Tanko? Remember

1117
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,960
that that series he was Remember when he was taken

1118
00:55:37,039 --> 00:55:39,880
forever in the tournament? Do you remember that it was

1119
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,519
the Dubbest Speed main event. They were down to like

1120
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:45,679
three tables yeah, and Charlie from the tournament staff comes

1121
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,639
over because he knew we were doing this is the

1122
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,119
It was either the first second the first second year.

1123
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,000
We were doing hand for three tables because we were

1124
00:55:53,039 --> 00:55:56,599
the freaking goats. Okay, hand for hand coverage three tables

1125
00:55:56,679 --> 00:55:59,679
left in the doublet spamin event. Goat ship okay. So

1126
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,599
remember that we're doing that. And because we were doing that,

1127
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,000
you could tell which tables were ahead of the others

1128
00:56:05,039 --> 00:56:07,599
and how fast tables were playing. So it was found

1129
00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:09,440
out that like the one table I think it was,

1130
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,000
I think he might have been on the main feature,

1131
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,599
but that table was behind a lot and it was

1132
00:56:13,679 --> 00:56:17,119
because of Guinea taking forever and they had to basically

1133
00:56:17,199 --> 00:56:18,960
go up and be like, dude, you need to speed

1134
00:56:19,039 --> 00:56:21,960
it up, like what are you doing? So and I remember,

1135
00:56:22,199 --> 00:56:24,559
I remember Charlie, who was you know, he kept coming

1136
00:56:24,599 --> 00:56:26,760
over because he was like the head tournament director, and

1137
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,760
he would kept coming over. He'd be like Peters, what's

1138
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,320
the update. And I would just show him the page,

1139
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,800
you know, the reporting page, and I'd be like, Okay,

1140
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,119
you know, this table's on hand twenty seven, this table's

1141
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:39,159
on hand eleven, you know, or whatever. He's like he

1142
00:56:39,199 --> 00:56:40,760
would write it down on his spiecepaper and he would

1143
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,000
go back and then he would come back like twenty

1144
00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:43,480
minutes later.

1145
00:56:43,519 --> 00:56:46,599
Speaker 2: But what's the update that would that kept happening. Yeah,

1146
00:56:47,039 --> 00:56:48,639
that was the best when we did that that, I mean,

1147
00:56:48,639 --> 00:56:51,039
it was it was fun, it was chaos. It was

1148
00:56:51,159 --> 00:56:52,880
we were doing the outer table, so we didn't have

1149
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,119
stats of graphics, so we had two field reporters just

1150
00:56:56,199 --> 00:56:56,960
running may hands.

1151
00:56:57,119 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: That's when the Jim guy almost hit Mickey happen. It

1152
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,239
might be our jib guy. Yeah, yeah, I remember. I

1153
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,679
remember Rich Ryan was doing it, producer Rich shout out

1154
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,639
he I mean, he this is this was the best.

1155
00:57:09,679 --> 00:57:13,840
That was the best, is I see. I always thought that,

1156
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,519
like because we I remember, I remember we talked about it.

1157
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,480
I remember like that day we because I was running

1158
00:57:20,519 --> 00:57:23,119
the team and I was like, guys, you think we

1159
00:57:23,199 --> 00:57:26,000
can pull us off? And everyone was on board. Everyone's like, yeah,

1160
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,599
we can do it, Like we can get this done.

1161
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,800
You know, it's really no different than doing hand for

1162
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,400
hand on a single table. You just need to have

1163
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,880
you have enough people that can do it on your team,

1164
00:57:35,159 --> 00:57:36,840
and you need to all be able to coordinate and

1165
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,119
like get it all on the blogs and just make

1166
00:57:39,159 --> 00:57:40,199
sure that it's happening.

1167
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,079
Speaker 2: You know those days though it was it was like

1168
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,599
there was a day where you and me I remember

1169
00:57:44,639 --> 00:57:47,639
it might have been rich producer rich, but like I

1170
00:57:47,719 --> 00:57:49,800
think Pava set us a challenge to do like X

1171
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,679
number of pages in a blog, and we just did it,

1172
00:57:53,079 --> 00:57:56,480
like we wanted to challenge ourselves back then. And when

1173
00:57:56,719 --> 00:57:59,159
you bring up, hey, let's try hand for hand three

1174
00:57:59,239 --> 00:58:00,840
titles out, I was like, oh, yeah, let's try it.

1175
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: But it was like we wanted to, like we wanted

1176
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,639
to do it and make sure we like achieved it. Yeah,

1177
00:58:05,679 --> 00:58:07,119
and we did it, and I think we did it

1178
00:58:07,199 --> 00:58:09,119
for two years, yeah, and if I remember correctly, but

1179
00:58:09,199 --> 00:58:13,079
I always thought my idea was like, Okay, we're gonna

1180
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:14,880
do this, and I remember the next year came up

1181
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,039
like okay, we're doing it again for sure. And then

1182
00:58:17,079 --> 00:58:19,119
I just had always thought that, like you know, kind

1183
00:58:19,159 --> 00:58:21,760
of every year you would like add a table. Essentially

1184
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,480
you would do four tables, then you would do five tables,

1185
00:58:24,679 --> 00:58:27,400
like and eventually you get to like you're freaking hand

1186
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,280
for handing like thirty tables. It's like it's like day

1187
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,679
six of the main right, but like that that's how

1188
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:36,039
I thought like the evolution of live reporting would kind

1189
00:58:36,079 --> 00:58:39,199
of go yeah, you know, because and a lot of

1190
00:58:39,239 --> 00:58:43,039
it also was over Like as I'm running the team

1191
00:58:43,079 --> 00:58:44,199
at Poker and New it was like, you pee, all

1192
00:58:44,239 --> 00:58:45,719
these different people come up to you. They're like, oh,

1193
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,719
I have this app or I have this product, or

1194
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,639
I have this tablet or this system or whatever to

1195
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,639
that solve live reporting, and they all sucked. Nothing worked, okay,

1196
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,840
Like honestly that we would always revert to pad and

1197
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,599
paper and put right on our computer, you know, or

1198
00:59:01,679 --> 00:59:04,199
if you had one of those like electric notepads, like

1199
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:04,880
that was good too.

1200
00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:05,239
Speaker 4: I know.

1201
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,559
Speaker 1: Again, Producer Rich always ahead of the curve, he had

1202
00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:09,559
one of those. Yeah. I always just thought that it

1203
00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:13,800
would that's how it would like it would advance or progress, right,

1204
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,679
and it's it didn't. But that's I mean, that's fine whatever.

1205
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,360
But I just always thought that, you know, we'd get

1206
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,760
to like now, and then we could look back and

1207
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,880
we'd be like, remember when we started doing that, and

1208
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,000
look how crazy it is now when they're they're hand

1209
00:59:25,039 --> 00:59:27,920
for hand and forty five tables and there's there's six

1210
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,000
thousand reporters here running around. I mean, it's kind of

1211
00:59:30,039 --> 00:59:32,639
like that a tient right in a way. Yeah kind of.

1212
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,920
But yeah, and they and they did develop an appeah

1213
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:40,199
or their platform or whatever it is. I haven't personally

1214
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,719
worked with it, but you know they have like it's

1215
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,679
essentially an extra dealer standing behind the table, punching in

1216
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,880
all of the actions. Yeah, you know, so they definitely

1217
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,159
did develop and it is sick. Now. It does involve

1218
00:59:52,199 --> 00:59:54,719
a lot of extra manpower, like you got to have

1219
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,800
an extra dealer or two or whatever it is for

1220
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,360
every single table. So that that's you know, much like

1221
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,840
we talk about in the studio, things are just more controlled.

1222
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,039
There's fewer tables. You can do certain things, whereas you

1223
01:00:07,119 --> 01:00:10,400
know Doubsby Main Event Day one D when there's four

1224
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,679
hundred tables in play, like you can't do it then, yeah,

1225
01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:14,880
I mean unless you want to hire four or five

1226
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,800
hundred people. But sure, you know, good luck with that.

1227
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,199
That's just ridiculous. Anyway. I have no idea where we are,

1228
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,599
but we're here, So all right, let's go, John Shorman.

1229
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,679
Did you already talk about first place in this event? Yes,

1230
01:00:26,719 --> 01:00:30,360
so we did. So if if the PLO eight gets

1231
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,480
three hundred and eighty six entries, what is the ten

1232
01:00:32,599 --> 01:00:37,559
k PLO get to get six fifty five? What did

1233
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:40,679
it get last year? Let me pull it up and

1234
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,079
who won last year? I wasn't lou Garza was here

1235
01:00:43,119 --> 01:00:43,920
the year before.

1236
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,599
Speaker 2: Or two fifty nine last year? What won by Sean Troja?

1237
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,679
So quite a big that's insanely bigger. Yeah, it's three

1238
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,440
eighty six this year. Yeah, and then the two fifty.

1239
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: K might have one hundred and ten entries. By the way,

1240
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,400
I have no idea what's going to happen.

1241
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,079
Speaker 2: The ten thousand version is this is this the time

1242
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,199
of the summer when we say the main event is

1243
01:01:03,199 --> 01:01:04,480
going to have eleven thousand.

1244
01:01:04,239 --> 01:01:05,039
Speaker 1: Probably.

1245
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 2: Ten k below had a billion people eight hundred and eleven.

1246
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,239
That was one by Elie Nakashi. Yeah, so that one's

1247
01:01:13,239 --> 01:01:16,800
going to have something around that. Yeah, e eleven. Did

1248
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,639
we see a bit of a down. We saw a

1249
01:01:18,679 --> 01:01:23,039
bit of a down in the half and half. We

1250
01:01:23,159 --> 01:01:25,000
thought that might be higher because a lot of the

1251
01:01:25,079 --> 01:01:25,840
Euros here.

1252
01:01:26,039 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: We we don't think that the twenty five k have enough.

1253
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,599
The new event would just be higher than what it was.

1254
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm wonderful that I'm wondering, you know, Like

1255
01:01:34,039 --> 01:01:36,719
I was out there today, I didn't see the Yonis

1256
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:37,360
and the Elias.

1257
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Now I know they don't play. Every time I see

1258
01:01:39,039 --> 01:01:42,440
Yoni's Instagram, he's on some gold. Yeah, he's got he's

1259
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,840
got the best life. So will they be here in

1260
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:45,679
time for the ten k?

1261
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,639
Speaker 2: Or are they waiting for the bigger stuff, the fifty

1262
01:01:48,679 --> 01:01:50,960
to twenty five, the hundred. You know, maybe they don't

1263
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,599
get out of bed for a ten k anymore. We're

1264
01:01:52,599 --> 01:01:56,000
not really sure with these guys. The finish Jason Coons. Yeah,

1265
01:01:56,159 --> 01:01:59,320
so we'll see with that one. But your massive increase

1266
01:01:59,519 --> 01:02:05,519
in massive, massive shout out the plow White Championship.

1267
01:02:05,199 --> 01:02:09,119
Speaker 1: Shout out massive. All right, Thomas Boyven over in the

1268
01:02:09,159 --> 01:02:11,199
one hundred k high Roller. This is another one of

1269
01:02:11,239 --> 01:02:13,280
those events that bags at like, you know, six pm

1270
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,360
or some crazy so everyone can get home for dinner.

1271
01:02:16,239 --> 01:02:19,599
But he busted Jesse Lonis, I believe, on the last

1272
01:02:20,119 --> 01:02:25,519
hand of play to take the chip lead. Thomas Boyven

1273
01:02:26,039 --> 01:02:29,000
has three point eight million. I don't even know how

1274
01:02:29,039 --> 01:02:30,840
to say this name, nor have I ever even seen

1275
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,639
it in my life. Emilion Patavi, who's that?

1276
01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:37,239
Speaker 2: He's been playing the like he's beading the Day two

1277
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,760
coverage for US. I don't think he's made the stream yet,

1278
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,239
but he's been playing well. Good benchman, I think right.

1279
01:02:43,119 --> 01:02:45,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. Second Chips Jia Vira, we all know him. Third

1280
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,360
Chips Vinni Lingham, who spent plenty of time on high

1281
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,920
stakes poker, is in fourth. Brandon Steven also on I

1282
01:02:53,039 --> 01:02:55,320
S this is this is the high stakes poker tournament.

1283
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,079
See this is a ninth place. Chris Unickan this is

1284
01:02:59,199 --> 01:03:03,840
more big. He must have miss click registered the living.

1285
01:03:04,239 --> 01:03:06,679
I really like seeing this name in sixth place. It

1286
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,360
makes me feel kind of all kind of warm, warm

1287
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:15,760
and tingling tice. Wow, like the kid's all grown up.

1288
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,840
I feel like he's playing one hundred k's, he's playing

1289
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,719
fifty k's twenty five k like he's he's made it.

1290
01:03:22,119 --> 01:03:25,559
I love it. It warms my It's like it's like

1291
01:03:25,679 --> 01:03:29,400
poker's little kid is just growing up before our eyes

1292
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,239
and we are sending him off to high school, you know,

1293
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,000
or maybe this is sending him off to college. I

1294
01:03:34,039 --> 01:03:36,320
don't know, whatever it is. He's he's growing up before

1295
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,599
our eyes, and it's just it's just simply incredible. Isaac

1296
01:03:39,679 --> 01:03:43,559
Hackxton has a stack, not Joe Barbaro. I'm sure that's

1297
01:03:43,679 --> 01:03:47,199
an absolute party, Jeremy Osmas. Come on, Jeremy, let's go, buddy.

1298
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,559
Come on. You know funny thing. I got my haircut today,

1299
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,920
as you know. And the woman who cuts my hair,

1300
01:03:55,159 --> 01:03:58,840
who is best friends with my wife her this is

1301
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,719
this is a long o god thing. Her brother, her

1302
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:09,440
brother's kids are friends with Jeremy's kids. Okay, so she

1303
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,559
knows Jeremy like through this connection. But she was asking

1304
01:04:13,639 --> 01:04:16,039
me today, She's like, oh, I haven't seen Jeremy's name anywhere. Yeah,

1305
01:04:16,039 --> 01:04:19,119
because he hasn't done shit. Okay, he isn't anything. And

1306
01:04:19,239 --> 01:04:21,039
I know because we spend one hundred and forty one

1307
01:04:21,079 --> 01:04:23,000
dollars on him and twenty five ky fansy and he

1308
01:04:23,079 --> 01:04:26,360
hasn't done much. So let's go now. That said, I'm

1309
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,599
not worried about it yet. Jeremy's going to do plenty

1310
01:04:28,639 --> 01:04:32,519
of stuff this summer. It's still early, Okay. This event

1311
01:04:32,639 --> 01:04:36,519
is number thirty eight. Remember there are one hundred gold

1312
01:04:36,599 --> 01:04:40,159
Bracelet events. Okay, I think Jeremy is in for some

1313
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:44,440
big stuff still this year. D Nags also bagged chips

1314
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,840
in this tournament. Set Davies also on our team. Here

1315
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,480
we go, he also bagged chips, So let's go, and

1316
01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:52,760
then I'm guessing this one we'll have, you know, I

1317
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,280
don't know a dozen or two dozen Max lay Red

1318
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,480
and all that sort of stuff. Fifteen hundred dollars Monster stack,

1319
01:04:59,519 --> 01:05:00,360
how many this thing get?

1320
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: Alright, so far, eighteen hundred and seventy three entrance Statman's

1321
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,679
four hundred and seventy six are through to day two.

1322
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:12,440
Biggest noteb I saw was poker Face Ash She's she's

1323
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,599
a lugger. She's up there in the top twenty. Cherish

1324
01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:19,440
Andrews thirty third in chips, Andreospachenko fresh off his runner out,

1325
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:20,440
finished forty first.

1326
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: In chips, andros A Chenko, you know, crushing.

1327
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 2: Crushing now eighteen hundred players last year twenty three hundred players.

1328
01:05:29,239 --> 01:05:31,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they have the extra plate. We've got an

1329
01:05:31,159 --> 01:05:31,599
extra fly.

1330
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 2: And there's been some big one days over at the Aria,

1331
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,920
over at our friends Paul Campell, Ryan Kirk over there

1332
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,079
crushing some big one one day one keys and stuff.

1333
01:05:41,159 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: Mystery Bounie's here and there.

1334
01:05:42,719 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 2: So you know, knowing that there's four flights with the monsters,

1335
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,480
that you probably expect a few of those guys to

1336
01:05:48,079 --> 01:05:51,079
to dabble in in some of those one dayers in

1337
01:05:51,199 --> 01:05:56,000
these early days. So last year Monsterstak had a total

1338
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,719
of eighty seven hundred players. You know who might be

1339
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,119
your We're in some of those one days, Uh, Steven Song,

1340
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,199
Jeremy Becker because he bagged in the Monster Stack. Yeah,

1341
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:10,239
he was here on the rail for a while. I

1342
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:14,960
feel like he's on and then go play like a

1343
01:06:15,079 --> 01:06:17,400
couple of Ario one days between.

1344
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was. He was sweating Nick Shulman. Is Nick's

1345
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,039
on the fantasy team. No, I'm pretty sure Nick is

1346
01:06:24,119 --> 01:06:27,960
on team Splash Sports who had a freaking day because

1347
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,920
they have Yeah, it's Nick is on there to Nick

1348
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,480
and Jason Kuhn are on this team. Wow, they on top. No,

1349
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,280
they're not on top, but they're in second.

1350
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,199
Speaker 2: That's the Monster Stack numbers obviously right now trending to

1351
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,559
be lower than last year.

1352
01:06:44,599 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: But we know that's good. Not gonna yes, but also

1353
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,559
at least I thought Colossus was gonna get up to

1354
01:06:53,639 --> 01:06:55,880
last year and then it felt pretty short. So the money,

1355
01:06:56,079 --> 01:07:03,440
the money structure, it's the structure too. Yes, it's the money.

1356
01:07:03,599 --> 01:07:07,280
The structures. Also, I would be curious, is this structure

1357
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,000
the same and they simply just added a day for the.

1358
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 2: Monster Stack for the Monster well, what I found out

1359
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,000
today and I think this is not Rosemont but a

1360
01:07:15,079 --> 01:07:18,679
colleague of ours, Jason, the guy that we you know

1361
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:19,800
good Snacks Rum.

1362
01:07:20,199 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: He was playing the Monster Stack today. Wow. Now he

1363
01:07:22,519 --> 01:07:24,840
was going to maxilate. No wonder the snacks have sucked.

1364
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,639
Speaker 2: She was going to maxilate with twenty bigs and we

1365
01:07:29,719 --> 01:07:32,239
were looking at the app together. He only had to

1366
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:34,079
play one level before they bagged.

1367
01:07:34,679 --> 01:07:36,039
Speaker 1: Huh yeah.

1368
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Now we were like, is the app wrong? It's a

1369
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,280
structure sheet wrong. But like we thought that was a

1370
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:39,800
little weird.

1371
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I wish it. Let's see if he bagged.

1372
01:07:41,639 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 2: So, you know, that seems very odd to me that

1373
01:07:44,079 --> 01:07:48,239
you would play that long, that you'd have such late

1374
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:52,239
registration and then only played one hour after that. Looks

1375
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,199
like he bagged twenty six k eight big blinds, so

1376
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,480
he's through to day two. Nice little hour of work

1377
01:07:57,559 --> 01:07:58,880
there to make day two.

1378
01:07:59,519 --> 01:08:02,239
Speaker 1: So that's to me to be weird. I'm looking at

1379
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,360
the structure sheets for last year and this year. It

1380
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:09,400
looks the same. I got fifty thousand starting stack, sixty

1381
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:14,239
minute levels, you started one hundred, two hundred. Everything looks

1382
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,680
the same, registration same. Let me look at that. Where's

1383
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,079
it say that late registation ten levels, ten levels yep

1384
01:08:21,119 --> 01:08:25,880
on day one, same eleven levels, So weird, right, both? Yeah,

1385
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:30,319
I mean everything seems the exact same in this one. Yeah. Both.

1386
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,399
You know, they did the thing where it's anyway, they

1387
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,560
did the thing where you can re enter the next flight,

1388
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:41,520
so freeze out per flight. Oh okay, that's what remember,

1389
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:43,479
that's what they do in the Monstack. And everyone always

1390
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,479
asks Kevin Math eight thousand times yep on social media

1391
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,039
if if you can re enter in a Monster stack.

1392
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,720
So yeah, so this one does look identical structures. Forgive

1393
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,720
me if I am wrong, but looking at it does

1394
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,399
look the same. So I would say that because it's

1395
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,640
the same and they added another flight, I think they'll

1396
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,279
at least meet last year, if not top it.

1397
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:08,159
Speaker 4: You know.

1398
01:09:08,199 --> 01:09:10,239
Speaker 1: I also think that they got a nice starting window,

1399
01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:11,840
not running this in the middle of the week, kicking

1400
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,560
it off on Thursday. So I think this one's going

1401
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,159
to be quite big and people love this tournament. I

1402
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:19,000
always wanted to play it. I've never been able to

1403
01:09:19,119 --> 01:09:21,920
because it takes like it once. It takes like seven

1404
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,560
days if you go deep. Not that I'm ever going

1405
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,439
to go deep, but you know, I always just I

1406
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,880
like to, you know, in my head have a little fantasy,

1407
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,960
you know, future projection that I'm going to go deep,

1408
01:09:32,039 --> 01:09:42,840
but you know that's never gonna happen. The fifteen horse,

1409
01:09:43,119 --> 01:09:44,680
I go, I got the up there for you. Get

1410
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:45,640
it up baby.

1411
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,319
Speaker 2: On a day to one hundred and ninety five playes Yeah,

1412
01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:50,199
but you've already saying.

1413
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: That, Yeah that's my boy, Nico Baby.

1414
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 2: I eat hundred sixty seven entrance to about sixty from

1415
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,600
the money thirteen chips, as you said, by this especial

1416
01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:58,399
celebrating Nicko.

1417
01:09:59,239 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: See the best he might be. I mean he's he's

1418
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,399
the greatest. The guy is. The guy is awesome. Another

1419
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,520
another notable up there, Greg Mule eighteen chips and Drew

1420
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:14,680
Kelso Ryan last Horse. Yeah, he place horse. I've seen

1421
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,600
him play horse. Oh my gosh. Calvan Andersen I did

1422
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,239
get yelled at the other day for saying that Josh

1423
01:10:20,279 --> 01:10:22,439
Reiker plays Piolo like I questioned it and I got

1424
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,560
yelled at. Wow. But yeah, that doesn't mean they play

1425
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,560
it well. I know that is true. One hundred ninety

1426
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,279
seven k there for first eight sixty seven. Have a

1427
01:10:31,359 --> 01:10:34,000
quick look. Freaking good is Nico man? This guy is

1428
01:10:34,079 --> 01:10:35,880
the best. So here we go. This is interesting.

1429
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,560
Speaker 2: Eighty sixty seven only a small increase last year thirty

1430
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:40,680
two entrants more.

1431
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: But that's that's what that's that's fine.

1432
01:10:44,279 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 2: That was one by Phil Hoe, by the way, for

1433
01:10:47,319 --> 01:10:50,560
Crusher one ninety three k in twenty twenty four.

1434
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: They're bagging up over in that Plowe. Yeah. Do they

1435
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,239
have the chip guns in yet? Probably not. We got

1436
01:10:56,319 --> 01:11:00,319
to know how Johnny Johnny Shortman did. What else are

1437
01:11:00,319 --> 01:11:04,520
we missing today? Sure? Just just the just the best,

1438
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,840
the hit rate that we have for sub five dollars players,

1439
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,359
and this should drop sub five I should really just

1440
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:15,319
have sub five dollars players. It's just simply incredible, it

1441
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:19,399
really is. It's absolutely incredible. You're gonna talk about tomorrow's events.

1442
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:23,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got the the Sweet lou Special, the

1443
01:11:23,079 --> 01:11:25,039
Limit Hold Them Championship. He came and got a lucky

1444
01:11:25,159 --> 01:11:25,439
hold on.

1445
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Why is that?

1446
01:11:26,119 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 4: Oh that?

1447
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 2: I was really confused. I was like, wait, Lou is

1448
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,760
playing Limit the Sweet Loue. He came and got a

1449
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:38,000
hat from us yesterday. I believe in preparation for the

1450
01:11:38,159 --> 01:11:40,800
Limit Hold Them Championship, which is playing with Chi final table.

1451
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,119
I believe last year, so that kicks off Limit Hold

1452
01:11:44,159 --> 01:11:48,199
Them Championship. That's the afternoon event. Now in the morning,

1453
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,479
I mean, obviously we have the Day one B the

1454
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:52,720
month SAC, but we have the five thousand dollars by

1455
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,199
Seniors high Roller, and this is one of the events

1456
01:11:56,239 --> 01:11:58,760
on the schedule that I kind of marked that. Let's

1457
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,039
see how this app does. Are we going to see

1458
01:12:01,399 --> 01:12:03,960
the scene is just jumping now before.

1459
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: It's your new sea draws on your phone. I can't

1460
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:07,239
see it.

1461
01:12:07,399 --> 01:12:10,159
Speaker 2: I can't get yeah exactly, but I'm gonna look at

1462
01:12:10,199 --> 01:12:13,600
this singing is hyrolla nine hours away? Right ten hours away?

1463
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,119
They've already got one hundred and thirty one players registered.

1464
01:12:17,239 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: In the course of course, they're all gonna meet for

1465
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,760
fucking pastries and coffee in the fucking way at eight

1466
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,239
thirty am. What are you talking about it? I have newspapers.

1467
01:12:26,199 --> 01:12:29,279
Speaker 2: I often scroll the app to see how many people register,

1468
01:12:30,039 --> 01:12:32,760
and you know, like salute to wires for example.

1469
01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 1: You know, you know, I always think it's twenty nine.

1470
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,279
I go into the appsentime and I'll be like, oh,

1471
01:12:38,279 --> 01:12:41,640
one hundred k high Roller who's registered? Yeah, exactly. The

1472
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,960
scen is day one sixty eight already.

1473
01:12:45,399 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 2: So this thing is we might be thinking all this wrong,

1474
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,880
but they may be on top of everything when it

1475
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:52,920
comes to the verification.

1476
01:12:53,039 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: The WS people, for sure, they're they're they're more organized.

1477
01:12:58,039 --> 01:13:00,319
They're gonna get things sorted at time. They're gonna be

1478
01:13:00,319 --> 01:13:03,319
your normal pocaviers and show up day of and screw

1479
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,359
you know. Look, we might still have an issue. How

1480
01:13:06,399 --> 01:13:08,359
many people are register for the ten K limit? Hold

1481
01:13:08,399 --> 01:13:11,159
them two?

1482
01:13:11,279 --> 01:13:16,159
Speaker 2: Who do we think they are? Sweet lou is he Yeah,

1483
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:20,279
I know, I haven't looked yet. And then Terrence Chan.

1484
01:13:22,359 --> 01:13:26,000
Those are my two guesses, gonna say Matt Grapen thing. Okay,

1485
01:13:26,039 --> 01:13:28,199
so I got Sweet Lou, I like, I like Hillman

1486
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,760
and Terrence Chan. I should take one more then give me.

1487
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,680
Oh no, I got no one. Yeah, we don't know

1488
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:42,960
either of these. Alex Tori, Riley Rosengren.

1489
01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we tried, We tried. Is there anyone signed

1490
01:13:47,079 --> 01:13:49,560
up for the two fifty k? Jason kuons White, Well,

1491
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,039
let's find it. Where When is that that's coming up soon? Right? Yeah?

1492
01:13:54,039 --> 01:13:56,439
It starts on the fifteenth. I heard one play.

1493
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,039
Speaker 2: Oh this is gonna be I'll say, David Peters. But

1494
01:14:00,119 --> 01:14:01,479
I'm saying that because I've seen.

1495
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,560
Speaker 1: I've seen him registered only too. He was one of

1496
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,119
the two players registered for the letter. I saw that too.

1497
01:14:07,239 --> 01:14:09,520
I'm going to take the other person that was registered,

1498
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:14,520
Belcher or whatever his name. Take Belcher. Okay, I got it.

1499
01:14:16,159 --> 01:14:18,000
Register for everything. He might have registered. Yea, he might

1500
01:14:18,039 --> 01:14:20,279
be that guy. He just register everything and can withdraw. Right.

1501
01:14:20,319 --> 01:14:23,479
Remember when you used to I heard a story. I

1502
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,279
have no idea if this is confirmed or not, but

1503
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,479
back at the Rio, you could register for tournaments and

1504
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,520
they would give you the food comp the food come

1505
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,680
didn't Alan Kestler like register for all of them and

1506
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,279
then get the food comps and then if you if

1507
01:14:37,319 --> 01:14:40,479
you just don't play it, you still get the company. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

1508
01:14:41,039 --> 01:14:42,760
If that's not true, I'm sorry, but that's what I heard.

1509
01:14:43,199 --> 01:14:46,600
Definitely allegedly I'm saying allegedly Alan. Okay, he's saying.

1510
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,079
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it to Alan, but definitely you could

1511
01:14:49,119 --> 01:14:51,279
do that and get the food comps that I had

1512
01:14:51,279 --> 01:14:51,800
also heard that.

1513
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: Alan, Well, I'm gonna say that if anyone did do that,

1514
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:58,000
is is Alans for sure? Uh? Yeah? The senor is tomorrow.

1515
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 2: The limit had them championship Day one of the month,

1516
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:04,279
second most importantly too, of the hundred k that we

1517
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:08,560
astream me on Poker Go kicking off at about four

1518
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,199
point thirty cards in the s seven pm stream, that's

1519
01:15:11,239 --> 01:15:12,479
gonna be a good one to watch, I think.

1520
01:15:13,239 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm going to be a Venetian for the

1521
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,880
early part of the day, putting the here at I'll

1522
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:21,720
tell you this right now. As much as I love

1523
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,319
doing commentary over at the Venetian, because I do, I

1524
01:15:24,399 --> 01:15:27,239
really do, I just you guys know how I am.

1525
01:15:27,319 --> 01:15:29,720
I don't like to be pulled away from the World Series.

1526
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:31,319
I want to be here. I want to be in it.

1527
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,960
This is the greatest tournament series in the world. I

1528
01:15:35,119 --> 01:15:38,520
want to be here until they pry me off of

1529
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,680
this place or off the floor like I want. I

1530
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:42,079
want to be here, I want, And then when I

1531
01:15:42,159 --> 01:15:44,039
come in late, I feel like I'm just all out

1532
01:15:44,079 --> 01:15:45,640
of swords. I gotta figure out what the heck is

1533
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,720
going on. So, yeah, Senior's high Roller? How many did

1534
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,439
it get last year? That was in Mark Chekwitz run it.

1535
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,239
He was dressed. I think we'reing a cookie monster off it,

1536
01:15:58,079 --> 01:15:59,399
something like something whackl like that.

1537
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,119
Speaker 2: Well, it was after the other seniors event, so that

1538
01:16:05,279 --> 01:16:07,520
I think matters had before.

1539
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,079
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it had six hundred and eighty players.

1540
01:16:10,319 --> 01:16:13,439
Isn't that weird? Like why wouldn't you go like seniors

1541
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:18,880
super seniors seniors high roller because then people that cash

1542
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,279
for good money in the seniors and the super seniors

1543
01:16:21,319 --> 01:16:24,279
then just throw it into the senior's highroller. Yeah, obviously

1544
01:16:24,359 --> 01:16:26,800
that is the smartest way to do it. Also, different

1545
01:16:27,079 --> 01:16:30,039
siroller be ten k. Didn't they just have a ten k?

1546
01:16:31,039 --> 01:16:33,399
They just had a ten K seniors hiroller at the win. Yeah,

1547
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:34,800
but last year as it was five K, I like

1548
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:36,840
five K though I like the five hit price one.

1549
01:16:37,199 --> 01:16:41,279
Speaker 2: Uh, this year's Seniors Championship, I should actually check last year,

1550
01:16:41,319 --> 01:16:44,279
but it's starting off the Father's Day. Previous years it

1551
01:16:44,359 --> 01:16:47,479
has started kind of on that Father's Day weekend. But

1552
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,239
yet the high roller before is a little odd. But

1553
01:16:50,279 --> 01:16:52,119
you know, like we've kind of touched on with the

1554
01:16:52,319 --> 01:16:55,399
additional flights in some of these kind of bigger field events,

1555
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,079
you know, things have had to be slotted in spots

1556
01:16:58,079 --> 01:17:01,359
where they're not normally used to. So sure it is

1557
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,560
a giant puzzle piece, just like the MLB's schedule or

1558
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,079
any kind of the NFL schedule and anything like that

1559
01:17:07,239 --> 01:17:07,840
same kind of thing.

1560
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:09,399
Speaker 1: So they're doing their best.

1561
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,079
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that will affect the numbers definitely,

1562
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:15,800
and we'll kind of I guess we'll kind of gauge

1563
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:19,079
that tomorrow and then into day two when prize pool

1564
01:17:19,079 --> 01:17:20,119
and all that kind of stuff is set.

1565
01:17:20,319 --> 01:17:23,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the worst tournament on the schedule

1566
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:28,439
was coming up, and it is hands down the worst tournament.

1567
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,600
For what reason would you say that? Come on, man,

1568
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,239
I'm trying to get in your head about chop one

1569
01:17:39,279 --> 01:17:42,399
tournament off of the schedule. This wouldn't be me. It

1570
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,840
was a fifteen hundred limit. Hold them, No, that one

1571
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:46,960
is way better than what I'm going to say.

1572
01:17:47,199 --> 01:17:49,520
Speaker 2: Give me one sick, give me one sick coming up.

1573
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:53,439
You're not going to say that because you would get

1574
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:57,880
yelled at. What would I can yell at about if

1575
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,880
you wanted to chop the salute to Warriors Charity?

1576
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: You know, And I like, you're gonna say that for

1577
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:04,960
some bro?

1578
01:18:05,199 --> 01:18:05,520
Speaker 4: Get this?

1579
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,560
Speaker 1: What hot nonsense? I can't handle. That's a classic. It's

1580
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,479
been around forever. Yeah I know it, Yeah, yeah, you

1581
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:16,000
know it should be extinct like the dinosaurs getting out

1582
01:18:16,039 --> 01:18:19,680
of here. This is the tournament every time I hear

1583
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,000
people play it, they all they do is complain about

1584
01:18:22,039 --> 01:18:24,039
it the whole time. That's the why it's the best.

1585
01:18:24,159 --> 01:18:26,680
It's a giant pain in the ass to cover. It's

1586
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,319
hard to follow. It feels like it's never ending. It

1587
01:18:29,359 --> 01:18:31,399
feels like you're just walking in quicksand the whole time

1588
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:34,199
with is non stop split pots. No see, y'all.

1589
01:18:34,199 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 2: I canna tell you the numbers for the events. Sure,

1590
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,399
that's incredible. Five hundred and then lost four to six

1591
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,439
year before that. That took a couple of years off

1592
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,039
four O one four O two four our five three

1593
01:18:45,119 --> 01:18:47,000
eighty four four seventy four four seven.

1594
01:18:47,159 --> 01:18:50,279
Speaker 1: This event performs. Okay, if you were to chop one

1595
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:55,720
tournament off the skin fife, I P limit hold all right,

1596
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,319
i'm r I P the Oe tournament. Is that all

1597
01:18:59,359 --> 01:19:00,600
we got? Yeah?

1598
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:05,039
Speaker 2: Well yeah, we're streaming tomorrow. We'll streaming today Thursday, June twelfth,

1599
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,039
seven pm. We're gonna pick up day two coverage of

1600
01:19:08,039 --> 01:19:10,279
the hundred K. That's the important watch.

1601
01:19:10,079 --> 01:19:12,319
Speaker 1: It on go. How many hats do you give out?

1602
01:19:12,359 --> 01:19:14,119
Speaker 2: That that's the next I gave out a lot of hats,

1603
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,399
gave one guy I wanted two hats because he's friend

1604
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,600
asked him to get one at the same time.

1605
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,159
Speaker 1: He was good, Yeah, I allowed it if that's if

1606
01:19:21,239 --> 01:19:24,720
this happens. Okay, I don't know if this is a

1607
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:29,199
thing because you're Australian and but like in the school

1608
01:19:29,239 --> 01:19:32,079
system when you were like out of school, you had

1609
01:19:32,079 --> 01:19:35,439
to bring a doctor's note. Yeah. Yeah, like if you're

1610
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:39,880
claiming to have for yourself, okay and your buddy, I

1611
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,640
need a note from the buddy, like I need a note.

1612
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,760
It needs to be handwritten, signed. We don't have to

1613
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,079
go as far as notarizing it, but he should have

1614
01:19:48,159 --> 01:19:51,199
the password on it and all that sort of stuff. Yeah. Now,

1615
01:19:51,239 --> 01:19:53,439
I understand there might be some shenanigans that go on

1616
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,039
with that. Maybe there's forgery, maybe there's not. But I

1617
01:19:56,159 --> 01:19:58,479
still want a handwritten note from the front. Hey, I

1618
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,520
couldn't make it because I'm stick in bed. This is why,

1619
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:05,239
signed Jim Smith from Iowa. Yeah, family, I think that's fine.

1620
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,800
Handnotes people are. We ain't giving up multiple hats. I've

1621
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,159
had a lot of hats today gave us.

1622
01:20:10,199 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 2: I gave out one to I believe his name was Sam,

1623
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:16,039
gave out Probably messed that up last year's hats because

1624
01:20:16,039 --> 01:20:17,640
a couple of people didn't get it, and we still

1625
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:19,760
have some of those. So if you miss out on

1626
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:21,720
this hat and you didn't get last years, we still

1627
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,039
have that. We have some of those. Yeah, gave out

1628
01:20:25,039 --> 01:20:29,000
a few. I would say we have forty six left.

1629
01:20:29,239 --> 01:20:33,399
I'm completely guessing, but you know, I just had a

1630
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,960

01:20:44,239 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: You know.

01:20:45,119 --> 01:20:46,239
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's playing. I haven't seen it

Speaker 2: Actually, it's been busting to theaments early because he left

1642
01:20:54,039 --> 01:20:57,479
these guddamn lucky hand on the ground. One guy actually

1643
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:01,000
was wearing the first year's hat, right, the og hat,

1644
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,880
and he said, as he tracked me down, I'm walking

1645
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,399
back to our area to give him the hat. Some

1646
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,880
of the guy comes running down the hall. He's like, family, family,

1647

1653
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,760
the trick is you have to rub the logo, you know,

1654
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,880
before you tell the car, so before you go all in.

1655
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to try that next time I play and

1656
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:29,239
I wear that hat.

1657
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, we given about We're given at least half

1658
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,800
the hats, maybe a few more. So if you are

1659
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:36,840
in town and you want one, please come by. We

1660

are not playing any favorites, no favoritism. You have to

1661
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,279
come here and get it. Say the the magic words

1662
01:21:45,399 --> 01:21:47,760

1663
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,960

1664
01:21:52,279 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: He told me he met you. Yep, when I was

1665
01:21:54,039 --> 01:21:54,720
a Revenetian.

1666
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:58,680

1671
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,840

1672
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,920
doesn't want to change his birthday party venue. And what

1673
01:22:18,039 --> 01:22:21,680
it means is, after leaving here at three am, I

1674
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,399
have to go sleep four hours, wake up, drive him

1675
01:22:25,399 --> 01:22:27,560
to this thing, and I'm obviously going to jump around,

1676
01:22:28,079 --> 01:22:32,039
so I'm tired. I'm gonna get sweaty, maybe throw out

1677
01:22:32,079 --> 01:22:35,239
my back or pull a hamstring, chasing kids, and then

1678
01:22:35,279 --> 01:22:38,520

1679
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,359
So I'm sure something's going to developed from that today,

1680
01:22:41,399 --> 01:22:43,880
and maybe that's our first family part.

1681
01:22:44,239 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm looking forward to it. I'll try

1682
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,960
and drum on myself, but for that, we're out here

1683
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,359
for this episode. His name is Tim Duckworth. My name

1684
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,279
is done. We didn't wait, wait, we didn't mention the

1685
01:22:54,319 --> 01:22:59,560
poker pea cus Oh my god, hold on, rewind, okay,

1686
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,359
go ahead. We talked about the poker peak cards. I

1687
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:01,800
ordered some.

1688
01:23:02,199 --> 01:23:05,039
Speaker 2: Oh my god, right, if you guys can see them here, right,

1689
01:23:05,399 --> 01:23:08,439
I can't believe these are actually real things. You got there?

1690
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,800
You take those ones. It's got the peaks on all

1691
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,159
four sides, so you know you don't look at it

1692
01:23:13,239 --> 01:23:13,399
like that.

1693
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: You peak it. That's the whole point. No, no, no,

1694
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:16,560
you got it wrong.

1695
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 2: What do you mean I'm peaking the corner. No, you

1696
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:21,880
don't look at them like normal cards. You look at them,

1697
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,600
you put them like this, and then you're just like,

1698
01:23:25,119 --> 01:23:25,800
look at the bottom.

1699
01:23:26,319 --> 01:23:29,079
Speaker 1: That's what I was doing. Look, I'm peaking from any side.

1700
01:23:29,119 --> 01:23:31,680
That's the literally peeling up the corner. That's the beauty

1701
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,399
of them. You know, you got every side, you can

1702
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:35,920
look at them. These are the poker peaks. We are

1703
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:37,439
for sure going to get a message in the morning

1704
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,359
from producer Richmond like, what the hell was the last

1705
01:23:39,399 --> 01:23:40,079

01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,119
a picture of Milwaukee best Light.

1709
01:23:47,239 --> 01:23:50,039
Speaker 1: There's a reason these cards did not survive. I mean,

1710
01:23:50,119 --> 01:23:51,680
look at these things. They're hideous.

1711
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,359
Speaker 2: If you guys are listening, this is the time to

1712
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,399

1713
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,399
Milwaukee best Light, this is a meeting. I'm going to

1714
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,079
try and describe this. So mini be a can about

1715
01:24:03,079 --> 01:24:04,840
an inch and a half tall, but it's a torch.

1716
01:24:05,199 --> 01:24:07,600
Push the little button here. Okay, you can't really see this,

1717
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:08,680
but maybe I'll do it on the hat.

1718
01:24:09,079 --> 01:24:10,359
Speaker 1: So what the torch is.

1719
01:24:11,079 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 2: It's the WSP logo and it says twenty two thousand

1720
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,479
and seven WSP Main Event. So this is what we

1721
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,039
got when we played the main event. I played the

1722
01:24:18,119 --> 01:24:20,479

1723
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:24,199
