WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:12.960 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.199 Poker Go A Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His 3 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.960 name is Tim Duckworth. It is one twenty am on Sunday, 4 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.800 July thirteenth. We just wrapped up Day seven of the 5 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:32.359 twenty twenty five World Series of Poker Main event. Speaking 6 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.759 of twenty five, they are down to twenty five players 7 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.320 in this thing. Is that right? That's not right? No, okay, 8 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:41.880 then they're down lower than that. What are they down to? 9 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.159 I thought I saw twenty four, But of course the 10 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:45.000 clock is gone. 11 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:46.759 Of course the clock is gone. You gotta go to 12 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:47.920 the next day. That's how it works. 13 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:49.799 I'm just going to count the There, you got three 14 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:50.840 open seats. 15 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.520 Count the hip counts. There, you go twenty four. So 16 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.880 I was wrong. I stand corrected. Twenty four players left 17 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.399 three tables of eight. Let's go, baby. They should play 18 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.799 eight handed. They get to like day six of this tournament. 19 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.959 That's what it should be. That's my opinion on that. 20 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.519 I don't like it. 21 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.120 Yeah, because you're knit and you'd probably rather have this 22 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.799 play ten handed. Okay, yeah, exactly. 23 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:11.040 You know. 24 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.359 Nine handed poker is ridiculous, fans. 25 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.200 This is all I like nine handed for this Azie millions, 26 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.319 that was six handed. Let's keep it wbt A playing 27 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:19.920 the first of all. 28 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:21.920 Okay, hold on, I know we're supposed to talk about 29 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.439 it was from man, but we got to talk about 30 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.280 this for a second. No, this, that's ridiculous. All tournaments 31 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.319 these days should be trying to go eight handed as 32 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.959 soon as humanly possible. They should try and start handed. 33 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:33.719 If they can't do that because of space, they should 34 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.840 be eight handed, NonStop. Okay, with increased rank, then why 35 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.519 would it be okay with increased rake. They've already increased 36 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.920 pay for more deals. They've already increased the rake. Okay, 37 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.280 is already increased. Okay, So if that's the case, you 38 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.000 say they got to pay more dealers, well, then you 39 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.519 just do it later on in the event. So the 40 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.959 hit is not that bad. It creates a better product overall. 41 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.200 It creates a better product for the players, It creates 42 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.359 a better product for all viewers out there, because eight 43 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.319 handed poker is simply the better. All right, let's get 44 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.640 to the main event. Baby, there are twenty four players left. 45 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.640 Tim's got the chip counts, so we're gonna go over 46 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.240 those in a second. Of course, we're gonna touch on 47 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.439 everything else that's going around here at Horseshoe and Paris. 48 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.879 But as far as it's concerned for Tim and I, 49 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.319 we really don't leave Horseshoe once we get to this 50 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:19.120 point in this event. 51 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.800 There's another casino. 52 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.280 Yeah there is, I mean there is it. Well, if 53 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.360 you ask them one of our qualifiers, Nicknack Castro, you 54 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.159 have to go outside, down the streets and crazy come back. 55 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.439 No shout out to Nick Nick Castro, love you. I mean, 56 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.879 it didn't mean to shoot that shot there, but I did. 57 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.400 Any Kenny Hallett Chip Leader. 58 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.759 I put him in table old. 59 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.639 Oh my god, that's how picture this guy's outrage. 60 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.879 And I was literally about to start like counting and 61 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.439 ordering until you threw it to me because I thought 62 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:48.879 we're gonna have a little bit more time. But yes, 63 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.439 he is the chip way to sixty one million on 64 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:56.319 the dot. He is a head of looks like Brexton Dunaway, 65 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:02.280 same table bioworks common fifty one point one million, thirteen chips. 66 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.919 Looks like we have Muhammad Perrati fifty. 67 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.680 Point one said, didn't I say look out for PARTI 68 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.560 a couple of days ago, and I played with him 69 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.479 I said, this guy is gonna make a run one 70 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.479 thousand percent. He was very very, very very good. And 71 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.719 then we also said in an interview today with the WSP, 72 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.719 he said, I'm rich. I'm rich, not about the money, 73 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.120 really love. I don't know if it was like I 74 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.439 don't know if it was like he meant to say 75 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.159 something else, but that's how, just how he said it, 76 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.080 because there's a little bit of a language barrier for him, 77 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.879 but it was still funny to hear him tell dre Orne. 78 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.039 He goes, I'm rich, No big deal. 79 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.000 So PARATEI your boy has uh fifty point one million. 80 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.919 The next fourth in chips, big drop Adam Hendrik's thirty 81 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.280 nine point five million, and then another decent drop thirty 82 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.759 three point nine million for Luca Bojovi. So three kind 83 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.639 of you know, obviously Kenny is is Kenny at the top. 84 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.680 Then this, you know, Braxton and Muhammad right there fifty million, 85 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.039 and there's a big job to Adam Hendrix another job. 86 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.280 So there's some separation amongst the top five. And I 87 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.719 would say probably the most scariest thing is we look 88 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.520 at table one, the feature table to end the night 89 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.639 kind of we mentioned Braxton, we mentioned Kenny Hallett both 90 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.360 at the same table. Adam Hendricks also there with that 91 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.879 thirty nine million plus you got Daniel Ishan twenty eight million, 92 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.560 your Dai Hung Lee twenty five million. You got Ltara 93 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.800 Guerrera eighteen million, you got Anthony Greig twenty two million. 94 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.279 Not only do you have maybe the best players in 95 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.800 the tournament, you know, like both for you know what 96 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.240 people who are people are rooting for people with the 97 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.480 most you know, the most famous of all the players. 98 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.800 They're all at the one table, and they will have 99 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.680 all the chips. We could have like a two hundred 100 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.240 million chip leader. There is a world where that could 101 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.439 possibly happen in this table. 102 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.879 Yeah, and this this is kind of the juncture of 103 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.920 the tournament where we start to see I'll say, anywhere 104 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.600 from like one to three players really separate themselves from 105 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.319 the pack. I get the sense, you know, just kind 106 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.680 of thinking back without actually going through everything that we 107 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.920 see that sort of every year, you kind of get 108 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.040 the haves and the have nots. People really do start 109 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.720 to excel and really put some distance between some of 110 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.519 the other stacks. And then you know, some of those 111 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.399 middle and shorter stacks, they're kind of like trying to 112 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.439 just maneuver their way somehow to one get pay jumps 113 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.560 to make the final table, right, And but that sort 114 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.079 of playing style doesn't necessarily lead to chip accumulation. So 115 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.040 you have the big stacks really accumulating, and you have 116 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.759 those shorter and middle stacks just kind of trying to 117 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.639 hang around. So then that creates this gap. So of 118 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.759 course we'll see how this plays out, you know, going 119 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.319 into the final table, but it is going to be interesting. 120 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.480 Another interesting points I believe, and you can correct me 121 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.600 if I'm wrong, is no redraw. I believe they told 122 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.560 the players up there, same seats. 123 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.959 You know what's funny is that you've been put around 124 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.800 Parker quite a long time, right, too long? You know, 125 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.839 there is no regil once you get to three tables, 126 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.879 and if it feels under one hundred, it's not until 127 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.319 the two tables. There is a TV that asked me 128 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:01.879 that question, is that Ragiel right? I'm like one that yes, 129 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:02.879 And then I had. 130 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.560 Well, I think it's just people that just assume end 131 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.920 of day. End of day equals redraw, Like, I think 132 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:07.879 that's just what they assume. 133 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.319 And then a deal a dealer asked me, I'm like right, 134 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.199 you a dealer, So, uh no, they're no redraw. These 135 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.240 are the three tables. There will be a redraw at 136 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.240 eighteen players. Now, I'm going to assume that our production 137 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.160 team they're going to probably just do the same features. 138 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.959 You know that that table one is very good, you 139 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.360 know the Kenny Hallett, d Young Lee, Miss Rah he 140 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.199 I forgot to even mention miss Rohilettaro Guerrero. Well we're 141 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.720 gonna go with Hendricks and Greg. That's the best feature 142 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.879 table we have had all summer. So I assume that 143 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:41.759 stays up there. I think two will stay at two, 144 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.839 Three will stay at three until we get down to 145 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.120 that final eighteen before. 146 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.720 We continue to do want to remind you guys out there, 147 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:52.360 if you're listening or watching on the Poker Go YouTube channel, like, subscribe, 148 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.399 follow comments, raid it five stars, whatever the heck you 149 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.240 guys got to do to help us grow, please do it, 150 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.319 because it does truly help us grow.

On the half hour. 184 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.399 I get in there, but I always just get dusted. 185 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:34.799 I don't know what the hell it is. I can't 186 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.120 beat those damn things to save my life. So I'm 187 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.519 kind of on this weird mission to freaking win one, 188 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.000 and it's really driving me nuts. So I'm gonna keep 189 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.080 trying until I finally get one. But play poker go 190 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.159 dot com. All right, So let's go through a little 191 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.519 bit more deeper on like who's left in the field. 192 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.559 Obviously we touched on Kenny Hallard. He is the chip leader, 193 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.440 the Belgian. He kind of lives in two parts of 194 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.360 the industry. He's like half player, half industry person who 195 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:07.759 does some tournament directing. He does the big SPACEYFCB spreadsheet, 196 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.600 which is obviously a thing every single year that you know, 197 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.960 lays out It's a Google doc, I believe, and it 198 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.759 lays out all the different tournaments around Las Vegas, so 199 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.320 you can take a look at that. Kenny had an 200 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.679 epic run to the main event final table in twenty 201 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.279 sixteen when he finished in sixth place for around one 202 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.519 point five million dollars, and it's very much shaping up 203 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.919 like he's going to make it back to Poker's Pinnacle, 204 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.879 back to the WSB Main Event final table. If he's 205 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.799 able to ride out this chip lead, I would guess 206 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.799 he's a heavy favorite to do so it's going to 207 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.519 take a pretty big demise from him. He did get 208 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.440 away with a fairly decent bluff today. I forget who 209 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.399 exactly it was against trying to look at the chip 210 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.399 Counstan and see if I can find it. But but 211 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.360 Kenny bluffed on the river with Queen high and his 212 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.960 opponent had ace Queen and rivet a pair of aces 213 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.519 in a spot that it seemed like it was just 214 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.519 an obvious check call with your hand with ace Queen, 215 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.639 but the player went with check fold instead. I might 216 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:10.240 have been Schultz but I was extremely shocked to see 217 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:14.559 that fold. But that allowed Kenny Howard to get some chips. 218 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.600 Braxton Dunaway second and chips Braxton Donaway one. What did 219 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.559 he win? He won the Monster Stack or the Milli 220 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.679 Maker one of those two. 221 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.519 Before I want to say that, I wish that I 222 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.840 could I interviewed him after he's win. Actually, well, then, 223 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.200 why don't you know because it was like seven years ago. 224 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.039 Yeah, but you should know he won the Monster Stack 225 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:36.360 and it was not seven years ago. It was in 226 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.679 twenty twenty three, which was two years ago. It was 227 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:40.440 like seven years ago. Yeah, it does feel like seven 228 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:41.879 years ago, but it was not. Yeah, he won the 229 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.639 fifteen hundred dollars Monster Stack in twenty twenty three for 230 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.480 one million, one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars. So 231 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.519 Braxton Dunaway is not a stranger to the winner circle. 232 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.159 Here at the WSP is up to over forty million 233 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.159 in chips, second in chips behind Kenny Hollard. We got 234 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.000 Muhammet Parate, the Italian. He's the one I played with 235 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.080 on day five. I thought he was very very good. 236 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.879 He wasn't like good in the sense that he was 237 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:15.799 like in a lot of hands, overly aggressive, he was selective, 238 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.679 he was very calculated, aggressive at the right times, played 239 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.279 some big pots. A couple of times they didn't go 240 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.000 to showdown, so he didn't know if he was bluffing 241 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.639 or not. But a very very very solid player. Chatting 242 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.360 with him at the table, he's one of those guys 243 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:31.879 where when he's in a hand he looks like a 244 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.240 stone cold, freaking killer. When he's not in hand, he's chatty, 245 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.919 he's smiling, he's a pleasure at the table. Lives in 246 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.320 San Remo, place that I love. Used to go there 247 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.039 for the EPT Mohammed Prati. I would not be surprised 248 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.720 if you see the Italian make the final table and 249 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.120 ultimately win this thing. You heard it here, guys, you 250 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.559 heard it here. I have firsthand knowledge of playing with 251 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.240 this guy, and he's a freaking beast. Okay, really a 252 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.200 freaking beast. I joked about the interview he did with 253 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.720 Drea Renee earlier in the day, which you could find 254 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.000 on the Divisipy Twitter account, but he you know, he 255 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.960 joked about first, he joked that he wasn't in the 256 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.399 main event. He was in the tune or fifty dollars 257 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.519 daily deep stack, which of course is a lie. Then 258 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.879 he joked about you know, being rich. But end of 259 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.480 the day, he did say what a lot of people 260 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.440 feel at this point. It's a dream to get this far, 261 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.320 and it would be a dream to make the final table. 262 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.480 So you know, I'm kind of rooting for Mohammed Pradi. 263 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.720 I feel like he's the last one from that table 264 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.200 that we had and you know, let's go. We were joking, 265 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.399 We were like, well, we can all just you know, 266 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.279 fold to the final table, right, I think we can 267 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.759 just fold around. No, but uh, Prodi's actually making hit 268 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:44.879 and happen. We got Adam Hendricks, obviously a beast, so 269 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.240 it's funny with Adam Hendricks. He's known as the Iceman, 270 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.240 which I don't exactly know why, unless it has to 271 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.519 do with his roots in Alaska. Probably is there any 272 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.200 chance people think he looks like Valcoma from Top Gun 273 00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.720 or is it like some sort of combination of the two? 274 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.679 You know what, I didn't say it until you mentioned them. 275 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.200 Like, it's very subtle. It's not like it's not like 276 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.000 it doesn't jump off the screen, but it is very subtle. Okay, 277 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.600 So I just wonder if that's the tie. I also 278 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.960 wonder if it's the Anchorage Lastka thing. Well, you and 279 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.399 I know him well enough that we should just ask 280 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:16.879 him tomorrow. 281 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.120 I think what we see online name is like Alaska, 282 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.559 Egypt or something like he guys but like something like that. 283 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.799 Okay, well, because we grew up in Egypt. He did, Yeah, 284 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.519 he did say that the other day. Yeah, I remember that. 285 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.600 But he's crushing it a while. 286 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.399 We're all, why can we sign Henrick real quick? Because 287 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.000 you know, we are obviously one of our PGT players 288 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.080 regular players, and you kind of mentioned this is a 289 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.000 pretty big spot for him for you know, the PGT 290 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:47.879 Million Dollar Championship and you know everything that that entires 291 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.120 of being a PGT player. You know, he currently attaint 292 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.960 seventy eight points. You know, we're looking out looking upwards. 293 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.639 If he can win this main event, right, he's gonna 294 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.639 get fifteen hundred and fifty points. That's going to put 295 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.279 him right into second place, right behind Alex Foxon. So 296 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:06.480 even with obviously that's the dream scenario, but let's say 297 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:11.440 he you know, bus right now, he is in that 298 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.200 kind of points region of eight hundred points where we 299 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.399 think that will qualify him. Obviously we've got a whole 300 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.440 half of the season left, so there's a big spot 301 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.000 for him for you know, locking up firstly a seed 302 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.200 in the pg tam million dollars Championship, but then being 303 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.480 in a position to firstly build upon your starting chip 304 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.240 stack because you know, chips are waited to lead up 305 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.840 a position, but also you know, potentially being in contention 306 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.519 to win PGT Player of the Year and that fifty 307 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.440 thousand dollars bonus for finishing is the top dog and 308 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.120 the leader one. 309 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:44.399 So yeah, I mean, you know, Adam has been around 310 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.120 the game for quite some time. As you mentioned, he's 311 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.519 always in the studio plane. Everything other than the mixed 312 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:51.559 games he plays in a no limit he plays the PLO. 313 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.000 So seeing someone of his experience, his skill set, you know, 314 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.559 go deep in this event, it's pretty cool to see 315 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.799 and we'll see if he can ultimately break through and 316 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.600 get that win. You know, I would say, given everything 317 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.679 we know of Hendrix, his how good he is at poker, 318 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.639 how well he's playing right now, he certainly seems as 319 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.000 locked in as ever, he's got a pretty big chip 320 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.440 stack to go along with it, I would say he's 321 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.440 probably gonna make the found table you know, I know, 322 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.440 it's like it's one of those things where you seem 323 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.320 like you're so close to making the final table with 324 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.320 twenty four players left. You know, you only got to 325 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:31.799 get down to the final nine, but it really is 326 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.000 still so far away. I mean, a lot can happen 327 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.799 in a day of poker. You know, Coolers can be had, 328 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:39.399 bad beats can be dealt out. 329 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.360 So if you got it, you got it. 330 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:42.960 Yeah, if you got it, you got it. And we're 331 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.519 going to talk about that that guy at some point 332 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:46.879 today on the podcast. 333 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.919 Are we allowed to Why? Why wouldn't we like we 334 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.639 might get escorted off the premises if we talk. 335 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.799 No, I don't think we'll get escored off the premises, 336 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.320 but he did get escored off the premises. Just scanning 337 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.879 through the chip counts Tony Greg Greg yet on that 338 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.840 fat table. He's also up there on that feature table. 339 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.639 Tony Greg doesn't play all that often these days, but 340 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.639 looks like he hasn't lost a step. You know. Greg 341 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.320 Merson on the Table one podcast, he said that he 342 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.559 probably believes Tony Greg is just one of the best 343 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.039 minds in poker. He's just one of those guys that 344 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.759 can really understand anything. Lives in Hawaii now doesn't really 345 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.759 have a ton of involvement with the game, but here 346 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.639 he is absolutely crushing it, making a deep run. We 347 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.720 did lose his buddy Greg Merson earlier on the ban. Yeah, 348 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.720 the milkman, who I believe was trying to order milk 349 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:39.480 right at the start of the day from the server, 350 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.440 which was very weird. I'm sure the server he has 351 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.159 a jug of milk, no, but I don't think he 352 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:44.600 had the jug of milk with him, so it was 353 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:45.120 very weird. 354 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.720 He didn't bring the jug of milk, and he was 355 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.720 eliminated today. Shonder m Greg, you boy. 356 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:58.240 It's the same thing with Ronnie Barta. I brought him 357 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:02.399 hoopoo a the it's the a car protector, but the 358 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.359 hoopoo is the national bird of Israel, okay. And I 359 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.720 brought him this and I talked about with him what 360 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.160 it signifies. Because I'm a big I like the car 361 00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.240 protector things, so I brought it to him. He had 362 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.160 a great Day one in the main event. He finished 363 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.759 with like one hundred and forty one hundred and sixty 364 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.079 thousand or something like that. He busted on day two 365 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.759 and he left the hoopoo at home. So it's his fault. 366 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:22.799 It's his fault exactly. He left the hoopoo at home. 367 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:24.039 I know we got to bring the thing. 368 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:26.960 I know when we were like run running date, when 369 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.440 we kept surviving, we were like, I'm doing the same 370 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.000 thing every day. 371 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:32.640 You gotta do the same thing every single day. I 372 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.720 don't know how you can't. 373 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.359 Pock the same spot or like, yeah, have a similar. 374 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:39.920 Routine, park in the same spot, drive the same car. 375 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.400 But at the same time, you know, I don't think 376 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:43.880 similar things. 377 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.160 I don't think we both feel like it's this superstitious thing. 378 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.279 To me, I feel like then it's just one less 379 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.400 thing you can kind of blame. That's the way I 380 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:53.759 see it. 381 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:58.400 Well, that would tell me that that's superstition. But for me, 382 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.279 it's about routine, like like when I would go in 383 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.039 to play soccer, when I played soccer my whole life, 384 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.240 like I would have basically a pregame routine, like this 385 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.279 is how I would get dressed, and this is how 386 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:09.720 I would warm up, and this is where I would 387 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.759 put my stuff in my bag to go to the games, 388 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:13.480 and et cetera. Just because I don't know it just 389 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:15.960 it just gets you ready. It gets you in that mindset, 390 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.640 you know, and there's obviously a lot of athletes that 391 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.799 do similar things. You know. They they dress a certain way, 392 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.599 they get get ready a certain way, they listen to 393 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.279 certain music, all that sort of stuff. So I did 394 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.200 the same thing. I listened to the Bill Simmons Podcast 395 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:31.920 every drive on the ride in. You know, I didn't 396 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.519 want to put music on because I at times I 397 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.720 feel like music gets me too amped up to go 398 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.519 play poker, and then I do some movies. I do 399 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.000 some crazy shit when I play. So I just decided, 400 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.119 you know what, let's just let's just chill out Bill 401 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.720
