Am here yours 5 00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:30,839 truly did put chips in the bag on Day one 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,759 C of the WSOP main event, bagging up forty five 7 00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:40,200 nine hundred. Yes, that is less than the sixty k 8 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,640 starting stack. But I went into the last level with 9 00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:46,880 eleven thousand, six hundred chips, and I was all in 10 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,640 on the third hand of that last level for eleven thousand. 11 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:51,640 Because I was in the big line posted that six 12 00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:54,880 hundred big line, Anti got all in Kings versus Ace 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,000 King held doubled up, went on a nice little late 14 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:02,439 night surge to get back to a respectable stack. Feels 15 00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,040 like a million. Feels like a million chips in the 16 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,000 bag after the day I had. I'll talk a little 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,319 bit about that later on in the show.

But biggest 64 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,280 pot in high stakes poker history happened this season. Okay, 65 00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:43,759 it went down, so you guys can check that out 66 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,919 as part of this epic epics season of high stakes 67 00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:51,319 cash high stakes poker streaming now on PokerGO dot com. 68 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,280 All right, Day one C of the Fabulous World Series 69 00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:00,159 of Poker Main Event one thousand, five hundred and seventy 70 00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,280 three entries. That is what the tally said on the 71 00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:06,360 board in the app at the end of the day 72 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:10,240 on Saturday. That is down a little bit from last 73 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,759 year's Day one. See, last year had sixteen hundred and 74 00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,639 seventy eight so you're looking at a decrease of six 75 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,240 point three percent. Through the first three flights. Each day 76 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:25,000 has been in decline compared to last year. Yes, but 77 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,920 these last two starting invites not as bad as that 78 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,759 that first one was. You know, that first one was 79 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,199 negative sixteen point five percent. Overall, so far, thirty three 80 00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:38,560 hundred and eighty three entries have been tallied in the 81 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,319 World Series of Poker. Maintament. That does not count the 82 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,160 players who are already signed up for Day one D. 83 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,079 I'm not not going to include that in that number. 84 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,720 At this point. Last year we had three thy six 85 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,839 hundred and ninety seven, so you're looking at a decrease 86 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,199 of eight and a half percent. You know, earlier we 87 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,199 kind of talked when we were talking about Day one 88 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,920 A because that one fell with a decrease of sixteen 89 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:00,560 and a half percent. We were saying, and you know, okay, 90 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,439 that's kind of in line with the ten to twenty 91 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:04,439 percent range that some of these tournaments that are down 92 00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:07,160 have been down. But now just being down eight and 93 00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:10,199 a half percent feels okay. You know, when you play 94 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:12,560 this tournament, there's a lot of downtime between hands that 95 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,600 that you're actually playing. You know, things are a little 96 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,800 bit more drawn out, so the mind does wander a 97 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,600 little bit. And at one point I did look up 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,639 at the board saw the number. This is kind of 99 00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:23,279 in the last half of the night or so when 100 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,920 I said, you know what, it actually doesn't seem all 101 00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,439 that bad. Now that I see the number here, you know, 102 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,560 the total through the first three flights down eight and 103 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,680 a half percent. I don't think that that's that bad. 104 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,279 I expect a big number on Day one D So 105 00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:39,519 last year, according to Poker News, four thousand, nine hundred 106 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,439 and ninety seven entries on Day one d they ended 107 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,360 up with I think it was nine thy seven hundred 108 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,639 and thirty five. Where was the total number? I talked 109 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:52,000 about this either the last episode or the episode before, 110 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,839 but they finished all the starting flights with eighty six 111 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,560 hundred and ninety four, So then they got just over 112 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:02,759 one thousand entries for the late redge on the Day twos, right. 113 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:06,319 I have also said that, you know, I think that 114 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,800 people are leaning to do the day two redge a 115 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,319 little bit more so than we've seen. So overall, eight 116 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,519 and a half percent decrease not too bad. It's not 117 00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:19,839 up over ten percent like you know, we might have 118 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:21,680 thought when we were coming out of that first starting 119 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,040 flight one A. If you think that, you know, you're 120 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,600 gonna be able to also make up some ground with 121 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,279 more Day two late entry, then overall, I don't I 122 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,160 don't think the numbers, you know, all that bad. You know, again, 123 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,399 anything around nine thousand above it, you know, even slightly 124 00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:41,240 below it, I think is is plenty fine for the 125 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,199 World Series of Poker main events. You know, we were 126 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,839 always going to kind of see some pullback in one 127 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,120 of these years, like either now even last year, if 128 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,199 we would have saw it fine or some of the 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,519 upcoming years. So we're just seeing a little bit more 130 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,920 this year, but that's fine, you know, I think things 131 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,319 were flying a little bit too high overall, and then 132 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,560 we'll see what it gains for Day one D. You know, 133 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:04,439 I know a lot of people are playing. I know 134 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920 that's kind of anecdotal, and you know, you can't really 135 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,079 I can't go out there talking to five thousand different people, 136 00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,680 but I know there are a lot of people that 137 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,480 are out there gonna be blasting away on Sunday for 138 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,319 Day one D, so we'll see where that number comes in. 139 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,399 The number to beat from last year was four nine 140 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,680 and ninety seven, so we'll see how it goes. As 141 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360 we've been doing each day, I've been trying to look 142 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:28,600 through the Poker News updates to find what they have 143 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,480 reported as the first bust out of the day, and 144 00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:35,639 on Day one C it was DeWitt Nakirk who Poker 145 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,920 News has reported as the first to bust out of 146 00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,240 the day. And to be honest, I got no idea 147 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,519 how new Kirk busted on this hand because he should 148 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,120 not have gone broke. They they being Poker News, caught 149 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,720 up with the hand. They're on the river it's ten 150 00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:54,480 ten to nine, Ace Jack, don't think there's a fluster 151 00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:57,920 on board. Newkirk's got twenty thousand in front of him. 152 00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,279 Stephen Grainer puts him all in his remaining twenty six. 153 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,360 New Kirk says something to the effect is I have 154 00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:07,959 to call and then mix the call with Queen eight. 155 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,360 Queen eight of hearts for a straight and not even 156 00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:14,120 the nut straight because King ten or sorry King Queen, 157 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240 excuse me, it is the nut straight here. Grainer's got 158 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,560 a full house with aces and and that's that for 159 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,720 DeWitt Na Kirk. I mean, there's several full houses on 160 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,439 this board. There's a better straight. I mean, I can't 161 00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:29,759 I can't imagine going broke in this sort of fashion. 162 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,639 I also just kind of have no idea how this 163 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,679 even like ended up like this, you know, I mean, 164 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,320 if he had Queen eight, he's chasing a gutter like 165 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,919 I mean, it's just wild. Stuff goes down in the 166 00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:43,159 WSP main event, especially early on. You just see some 167 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,960 absolutely shocking stuff. Julian Bognadov, Lawrence Brandt, Justin Rwin and 168 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,399 Freddy Deeb. They all bagged a lot of chips. For 169 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,639 much of my day, I was at a table right 170 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,200 next to Freddy Deeb's table, and every time I looked over, 171 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,240 you know, I do that thing that I've told you 172 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,679 guys about before, where when I'm under the gun, if 173 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,799 I fold my hand, I stand up, stretch the legs, 174 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,679 sit back down to get ready to go for a 175 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,600 big blind, small blind, and button, because those are the 176 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,279 three most active hands that you regularly play it. Also 177 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,360 if you do that every rotation. Now it's a little 178 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,000 bit different if you play the hand under the gun. 179 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,159 If you're dealt something you tend to miss, you know, 180 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,440 getting up from your seat. But I just like to 181 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,399 get up and stretch. I don't like to sit all 182 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,919 day every day. You know, it's just not that good 183 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,480 for you. So I do try and stretch up, or sorry, 184 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,000 stand up and stretch a little bit and all that 185 00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:31,639 sort of stuff. So every time I would stand up, 186 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,759 I kind of would just look over at Freddy Dee's table, 187 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:35,519 and he's had more chips than he had the last 188 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:38,279 time I looked every time, and he went on to 189 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,559 bag an absolute freaking pile of chips. I think he 190 00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:45,279 bagged two hundred and something thousand. I mean, I don't 191 00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:47,759 even know I mean, yeah, two hundred and sixty seven thousand. 192 00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,279 I mean he was just Freddy deep just over there's 193 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:53,200 absolutely crushing people. Cameras are on him a lot, so 194 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,200 I'm sure if you watch the coverage, you probably got 195 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,879 to look into his table, but it looked like, you know, 196 00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:00,759 Freddy Dee was was the one to catch over there 197 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,799 on the feature table. Now I didn't get to watch 198 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,879 because I was busy playing, but it sounds like this guy, 199 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,919 Jordan Baptiste absolutely stole the show on the stream both 200 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,559 with his play. You know, he was making some big 201 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,639 plays from what I could call he was getting some 202 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,000 big hands, getting people to pay him off. And some 203 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,960 of that getting people to pay him off was because 204 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,759 his personality, right, he was talkative, he was outgoing, he 205 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,679 was colorful, all that sort of stuff. He busted Jamie Gold. 206 00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:38,360 He bagged an absolute pile of chips. You start with 207 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:41,200 sixty thousand chips in the WSP main event. He bagged 208 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,080 three hundred and fifty seven thousand, and that's a mountain 209 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:49,399 of chips. So I'm excited to see Baptiste when I 210 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,919 watch back the coverage. When I'm there every single day, 211 00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:54,440 you know, I can't watch all of it. Sometimes, if 212 00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:57,279 it's a not playing day and I am at my 213 00:10:57,279 --> 00:10:59,000 computer a little bit more, I will have the stream 214 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,039 up so I can check in with it, kind of 215 00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:03,399 skim through it, find some important points, all that sort 216 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,720 of stuff. But once the dobasop ends is when I 217 00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:09,200 tend to sit down and really watch the whole thing, 218 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:12,399 like from start to finish, lock in, maybe even make 219 00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:14,480 my wife watch it with me and you know, talk 220 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:15,960 through it, even though she'll probably walk out of the 221 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,039 room because it's poker and it can be boring to 222 00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:22,279 non diehards. But but yeah, I'm excited to watch Baptist 223 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,720 and maybe you know, one of the best things about 224 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,799 the WSP main event. One of my favorite things about 225 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:31,200 the WASP main event is seeing these personalities, seeing these 226 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,759 stories develop early and then seeing what they turn into. 227 00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:38,000 You know, years ago we saw it with Nick Rigby, right, 228 00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:40,960 you know, we saw him develop. I think the other 229 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,320 gentleman's name was Aaron Zang one year right. That was 230 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,360 a lot of fun watching him develop. You know, you 231 00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:47,639 always kind of see it. I mean, even going way 232 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,519 back obviously to Jamie Gold, Like you started to see 233 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:52,039 that earlier and now it was a little bit different 234 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:56,039 back then because it wasn't live throughout. You know, it 235 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,039 was cut into episodes, so you could kind of rework 236 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,559 the story a little bit. But you know, here you 237 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,600 tend to see some people the French guy remain Look, hey, 238 00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:08,120 I believe it was just an absolute savage on the 239 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,600 fel He's the one who had the He fought the 240 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:14,279 set of nines on Blesnick's aces and then turned quads 241 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,120 and cracked him in just an absolutely outrageous pot But 242 00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:19,080 you know, stuff like that, just seeing these players develop 243 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,440 into two characters, and Jordan Baptiste seems like he's gonna 244 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,159 be that guy. Had a nice little interview with Jeff 245 00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,000 Platt at the end of the day talking about you 246 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,559 know how he was a little bit nervous at the start, 247 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,600 he kind of settled in and then you know, the 248 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,799 deck treated him well and he was able to just 249 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,440 get in his groove and do his thing. And when 250 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,919 you're bagging three hundred and fifty seven thousand on day 251 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,759 one a so almost six starting stacks, there's a good 252 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:45,399 chance you're gonna go kind of deep. You know, I 253 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,879 can't say if you know, anyone is gonna even if 254 00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:52,240 they bag six starting sacks on day one, they're ultimately 255 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,159 gonna make you know, day five, day six, day seven, 256 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,440 et cetera. But I mean there's a good chance with 257 00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:59,759 this stack, he's for sure around to day three and 258 00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:02,840 day right, so getting into the money, and if he's 259 00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:05,679 able to have this personality, like it seemed like he 260 00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:08,720 had really colorful guy out there, both with his play 261 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,279 and his talking, then he's gonna be somebody who's featured 262 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,559 a bit more. You know, he's got that that combination 263 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:17,559 of everything where he's got the personality for it, he's 264 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,960 got some game, and he's got a boatload of chips. 265 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,840 You know, sometimes you don't get all three of those 266 00:13:21,879 --> 00:13:24,279 things working for you. Somebody might have. They might be 267 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,279 a good player, they might have a lot of personality, 268 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,600 but they might you know, be nursing a big blinds. Right, 269 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:30,480 So then that's kind of like, well, you know, can 270 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:32,320 we really feature this player because if they bust, then 271 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,679 they're out, you know whatever. But here with Jordan bet Piece, 272 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,159 I mean, maybe we've got the recipe for some really 273 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,120 cool stuff. So let's see. Maybe he's the next poker star. 274 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,559 I mean, heck, you never know, right, you never know 275 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,679 who's gonna be that next Jamie Gold, that next Chris Moneymaker. 276 00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:47,879 So maybe we're getting a little early look at this. 277 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,679 Other than that, I don't think I really have much 278 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,039 from day one sea of the w SP main event. 279 00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:58,600 I'm gonna take us away from the main event for 280 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,919 a second here. I'm gonna go through some of the 281 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,679 other news items that happened around the World Series of 282 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,600 Poker on Saturday, and then I'll come back and I'll 283 00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:09,399 talk a little bit about my day in the WSOP 284 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,639 main event. That way, if you guys want to hear 285 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,480 what happened at the World Series of Poker, you can 286 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,799 get all that stuff now. First main event, which we 287 00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,080 just talked about, we'll hit on some of these other events, 288 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,320 and then if you don't want to listen to my 289 00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:21,480 non sense, fine, you can turn the podcast off. No 290 00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:26,799 big deal. Over. In the six hundred dollars Deep Stack Championship, 291 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,039 remember five and seventy seven entries in this one, Adrian 292 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:35,080 Jacobs won the damn thing Adrian Jacobs out of South 293 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,080 Africa two hundred and eighty two thousand dollars, going his 294 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,120 way his first World Series of Poker bracelet. He defeated 295 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,879 Paul Murlette in heads Up Play song. Hon took third 296 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:51,120 place in that one. Lisa Tan got sixth place. Pretty good. 297 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,519 I think this was the one that was there was 298 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,159 there were a couple final tables. Er, yeah, I think 299 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,600 a couple of final tables running today. There was for 300 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720 sure this one. There was the five K super turb 301 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:03,600 of Bounty that we're going to talk about, and then 302 00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:05,759 might even been one more. But there was a lot 303 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:08,039 of noise, is what I'm getting at. I was kind 304 00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:10,519 of way in the in the front side of the 305 00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:14,000 conference or of the Paris ballroom and up on the 306 00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:16,399 main stage, like there was a lot of yelling, chanting 307 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,440 and whatever, and you know, judging by I see like 308 00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:23,000 eight or nine people here in the winter photo for 309 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,519 Adrian Jacobs, so you know it's probably him, you know, 310 00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:28,000 Shout out to him, Shout out to the rail. They 311 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,399 were having a blast, sounded like a great time. Got 312 00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:33,200 the South African flag there hanging in the background. So 313 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:37,120 that's pretty freaking dope, I believe, if I remember correctly, 314 00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,440 he started the day did Jacob was of the big 315 00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:42,519 chip lead, so he was able to ride that to 316 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,080 the Winter Circle and take home two hundred and eighty 317 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,519 two thousand dollars heading over to the five K Super Turbo, 318 00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:53,159 a bounty two hundred and thirteen entries in this one, 319 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,360 and a guy who plays in the studio quite a bit, 320 00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:01,039 a youngster Miles Mulally running hot to win five hundred 321 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,679 and ninety three thousand dollars. Pete Chen finished in second place. 322 00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:11,639 Nigeen Aes finished in fourth. You had Christian Harder getting 323 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,279 close again. Christian Harder still without a World Series of 324 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,240 over a World bracelet. I follow him on Instagram and 325 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,240 he's constantly joking about all the min cash is that 326 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:21,960 he's having this this summer, this one a little bit 327 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,720 better than a min cash, but ultimately not the goal 328 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,879 that he wanted to take home. Miles Malali, he came 329 00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:31,320 on to at least my radar. It was me and 330 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,720 Remco Rinkima doing the Millionaire Maker Final table. I think 331 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,840 twenty twenty I don't know, twenty twenty four, twenty three, 332 00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:44,039 something like that, right, and we lately made the final 333 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,759 table played. I thought extremely well, you know, I thought 334 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,720 pretty much every decision point that he was faced with 335 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,679 seemed like he clicked the right button. He was very 336 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,360 young at the time. He was either like twenty one 337 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,600 or twenty two, I think, And here he is now 338 00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:02,799 getting his first w who he bracelet almost six hundred 339 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,440 thousand dollars as well. Again, he is constantly in the 340 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,680 studio playing a lot of the PGT events. You know, 341 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:12,240 he rolls with the crew that's Nick Seward, Sam Alaskowitz, 342 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,240 Jeremy Becker. He's in that group of players so kind 343 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,200 of the newer American high rollers that that frequent the 344 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,400 PGT events at the Boggo studio. My Miles is certainly 345 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,920 in there. Maybe we're going to see a bit more 346 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,759 of them in there when he's ripping off a near 347 00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:33,000 six hundred K score in this five K super Turbo bounty, 348 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,480 and I'm guessing that he got a bit more than 349 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,359 the money that's just on the price bowl five hundred 350 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,119 ninety three thousand dollars because with this being a super 351 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,599 turbo bounty, right, you know, I'm sure he I'm sure 352 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,319 he collected some scalps along the way. So congrats to 353 00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:52,640 Miles Malayy. The eight hundred dollars Summer celebration another lower 354 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,519 buying but massive shout out massive Field Nolan at Hold 355 00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:59,319 Them event. This one had six eight hundred and three entries. 356 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:05,480 Toby pro takes it down for five hundred thousand dollars. 357 00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:07,400 I mean, holy hell, that is a heck of a 358 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,440 first place price. This also might have been the final 359 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,319 table that was yelling and screaming. I mean there was 360 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,680 a few over there. His first bracelet for Toby Price, 361 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:20,680 he defeated Dennis Ony believe I said that correctly, maybe 362 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,759 out of Germany for second place. So it was five 363 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:26,079 hundred for first for Toby Price, only three twenty two 364 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,440 per second. Michael Montchek third place Texas.

Ken 378 00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:18,759 mentioned here though that Jesse Lonis did have a final 379 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:22,640 table Ronnie finished in eighth place for almost thirty five 380 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,400 thousand dollars. And then one other event that was running. 381 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,400 It's day one of two, still a long way to 382 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,720 go with around fifty entries left, but they had a 383 00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:33,880 one K Nolan HOLDHM Tournament, a two day event that 384 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,799 kicked off on Saturday, seventeen hundred and thirty two entries 385 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,960 in the field. We got a first place prize of 386 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,839 almost two hundred and twenty one thousand dollars. Up top, 387 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,559 they are in the money. Believe they are bagging right 388 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,400 at time of recording, while I'm talking to you guys, 389 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,079 it looks like Greg Murson is a big stack. I mean, 390 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,480 I don't know how up to date these these stacks are. 391 00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:00,000 But Greg Murson, as I say that, he's in there 392 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,680 twice so so these stacks are not not that up 393 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,839 to date. But we'll see if Greg Greg murs Andrew 394 00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:09,839 Heidelberg is doing well up there, Casey Brown. Who else 395 00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:14,119 we got Lucas Pasma. Okay, you know there's some there's 396 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,240 some poker notables you know, in there doing their damn thing, 397 00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:19,759 But this one still has to play out on Sunday, 398 00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:22,240 so we'll check back more in on this one, as 399 00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:32,039 well as that double board bomb pop Helo event. All right, 400 00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:36,880 so let's chat about my day in the WSP main 401 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,880 event earlier. You start with sixty K. I was there 402 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,559 for hand number one. I only recognized at my table. 403 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,079 I so we started I think five or six handed. 404 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,440 Diogo Vieira I recognized. Ryan Bells was also at my 405 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,680 table to start. Shortly after we kick things off, Paul 406 00:20:56,759 --> 00:20:59,880 Newe joined. So that's who I had at my table today. 407 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,799 A gentleman to my left or a young kid to 408 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:07,839 my left out of Italy. Forget his name, but he 409 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,839 was very good. He was on my direct left. So yeah, 410 00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:14,319 it was The table was okay, wasn't wasn't the best 411 00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:16,839 table in the world. Wasn't the absolute worst table in 412 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,880 the world. It was just fine. You know. I thought 413 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,160 I would say half the table I thought was good 414 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,240 competent players. The other half of the table. You know, 415 00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:31,519 I thought was a little bit probably slightly below average players, 416 00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:34,160 so you know, it was kind of a mixed bag 417 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,319 out there. We ended up getting I don't know the 418 00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:41,759 gentleman's name, but he goes by seven high on Netflix, 419 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,759 I think is what he goes by. He's on the 420 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,279 Devil's Plan on Netflix. I wish I could find this 421 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,079 gentleman's name, but he got he I think he bought 422 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,720 in late and joined late. He might have also came 423 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,200 from a broken table, I don't know, but he joined 424 00:21:57,279 --> 00:21:59,319 later on. He was a freaking handful to deal with, 425 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,039 because that guy for folds ever, ever, ever ever. I 426 00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:05,319 was talking with my friend Mickey Doff last night and 427 00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:07,039 I was like, you know what, Mickey, I just want 428 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,160 a day, one day in the main event where I 429 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,640 just make the nuts, you know, every hand, and somebody's 430 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,599 got something to pay me off. So guess what happened, guys? 431 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,680 In level one, I made the nuts in a multi 432 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,480 way pot for board was seven six five with two clubs. 433 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,279 Turn was the eight of hearts, so puts a four 434 00:22:25,319 --> 00:22:27,519 liner on board also brought a second fluster on. Then 435 00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:28,960 the river was the king of clubs, and I had 436 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,240 the ace Queen of clubs, and I had the big 437 00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:36,240 blind betting turn and river into me, and then I 438 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,599 sized up quite a bit with the rays on the river. 439 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,680 He quickly called, so I won that pot again, you 440 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,839 start with sixty K. At probably three quarters of the 441 00:22:46,839 --> 00:22:48,880 way through the first level, I was winning a lot 442 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,240 of pots. I won that pot that was somewhat sizable 443 00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:53,640 for the stakes at the time, and I got up 444 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,119 there around seventy five K. Seventy four seventy five K 445 00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:01,079 was kind of cruising along. Then I actually played a 446 00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:06,799 hand where I had aces. Ryan Bells opened from early 447 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,000 slash middle position. The button called. I three bed from 448 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,279 the small blind with aces. Ryan Bells just called button folded. 449 00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:18,759 We ended up going I bet flop. He called on 450 00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:20,880 queen seventy five with two spades. I had the ace 451 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,000 of spades in hand. Turn was an eight, it went 452 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,200 check check, River was a six. I checked. He bet small. 453 00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:29,200 I called he had the two red aces. I had 454 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,160 the two black aces. He had the two red aces. 455 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,319 I did think it was a little interesting that he 456 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,759 opted to flat pre flop just because there was a 457 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:40,240 third player in the hand, and that player ultimately would 458 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,759 have had position. So you know Ryan Bells here would 459 00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:45,960 have been monkey in the middle to two of us. 460 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,680 And I mean, it's not always fun to have to 461 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,079 take aces multi way, especially out of position. So I 462 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,680 just thought that that was interesting, something that I filed 463 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,039 away in my head. Then kind of towards the end 464 00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:01,680 of the level and Love one, I basically got knocked 465 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,160 back down to just above starting. I had King Queen 466 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,039 off with the King of Spades. I opened from the 467 00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:13,200 cutoff the big Blind defended. This was the same player younger, 468 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,359 I think German kid who I had the nut flush 469 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,720 much earlier against when he had assuming was a straight 470 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,039 with hout quick. He called you. I mean he also 471 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,039 had a worse flush, but given that he bet turn, 472 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,200 I would lean straight. So I opened King Queen with 473 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,119 the King of Spades. He calls Big Blind. It comes 474 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,359 Queen a deuce with two spades. He checks. I bet. 475 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,759 He calls Turnes the three of Spades. He checks. I debate, 476 00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:39,960 just checking back here. I think he can check back some. 477 00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:42,279 I think you can bet some. I have to just 478 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,359 go with a bet. He calls Rivers the niner spades, 479 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,519 so putting four spades on board, he checks, I bet again, 480 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,640 sizing up to around sixty percent pot I think, or 481 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:57,200 so he comes with a fairly quick check rays and 482 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:01,279 it was interesting because he he we took let's say 483 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,799 ten seconds twelve seconds or so to call on the turn, 484 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,000 and the way he was acting on the turn when 485 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,200 that spade came out after I bet, like, I just 486 00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:15,200 I don't know, I just the energy it was given me. 487 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,359 Shout out to Jeremy Becker. And the whole energy thing 488 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,559 was that he had a big hand. Now, of course 489 00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:23,720 that could have been that he turned a lower flush right, 490 00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:26,000 you know, it doesn't always mean that, like it's like 491 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:28,440 a super super big hand and I'm like drawing stone debt. 492 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,920 So but he ended up just check calling the turn right. 493 00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:33,559 So on the river a fine like he checks to me, 494 00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:34,920 I think for a little while, and look, okay, I 495 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,880 think I got to bet my hand, like I mean, 496 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,640 I can't just check this back. I bet. He kind 497 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,000 of quickly checked raises. I deliberated for a little while. 498 00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:44,839 Ultimately I folded, you know, I folded on the again. 499 00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:47,680 It was Queen of Spades, eight of spades, deuce, three 500 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,680 of spades, nine of spades, and I folded the King 501 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,920 of Spades. So I mean, yes, he could have a 502 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,599 straight flush, so technically I have the third nuts here. 503 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,279 But yeah, I mean I just I don't know. I 504 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,400 just don't think this player, you know, he had been 505 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,279 kind of acting if he had been paying some people off, 506 00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:03,119 but I hadn't seen him take this sort of line 507 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,240 or do anything like this so far. So I don't know. 508 00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:06,880 It just leaned a little bit more valued to me 509 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,079 than not. So yeah, I ended up folding it. I mean, 510 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,319 I looked at it right before I hopped on the pod. 511 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,200 You know, it does say full river in the solver. 512 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,079 I know solvers aren't possible, but yeah, so I don't know. 513 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,400 It's just tricky spot from that point on, from losing 514 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,680 that hand that was like right at the end of 515 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,759 the first level. We then proceeded to play the next 516 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:34,039 three levels, so six hours of actual play. Of course 517 00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:36,359 there's breaks in there, but I mean, I just could 518 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,599 not win a damn hand, guys, Like it was. It 519 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,240 was unreal. It was just like and it wasn't. I 520 00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:45,680 didn't really lose any big pots. I didn't run any 521 00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,559 big bluffs like you know, I didn't have any kind 522 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,400 of big cool ers, like nothing, nothing like super eventful happened. 523 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,640 It was just like, you know, fifteen hundred here, two 524 00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:58,960 k here, another seventeen hundred here, and like that just 525 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:02,480 kept happening happening, and a lot of it was I know, 526 00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:05,519 for you poker people out there who are like a 527 00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:07,759 bit more studied and like, you know, you understand what 528 00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:09,559 I'm about to say. We're like I'm opening like ace 529 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,720 queen off and it comes like eight seven six two 530 00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,359 suits that are not any of my suits. I'm up 531 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,359 against two other players, and like I just have like 532 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,079 no maneuverability on this sort of bored texture, Like what 533 00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:23,920 am I gonna do with my hand? Like, yeah, maybe 534 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,400 I could like blast off. And I tried. I tried 535 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,200 to kind of switch some things up. I tried to, 536 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,480 you know, bet in some spots I might not normally bet. 537 00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:32,480 I tried to be a little bit more patient in 538 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:35,240 spots that I might take a more aggressive line just 539 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,319 just because I don't know. Things just really kind of 540 00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:39,480 just weren't working out for me. So after a little while, 541 00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:41,079 I'd be like, Okay, maybe if I just try and 542 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,440 like do something a little different here. Okay, I normally 543 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,000 wouldn't bet this, So what if I do bet this? 544 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,400 You know, just nothing was working. Nothing was working for 545 00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:51,920 three straight levels and the WSP main event every level 546 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,799 is two hours. So I'm just like losing, losing, losing. 547 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,680 Next thing, you know, I'm at forty K. Next thing, 548 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,799 you know, I'm at thirty five K. Then I'm at 549 00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:02,119 and I'm just like what the what is like? What 550 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,880 is going on? Like I won a couple of small pots, 551 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,480 you know, to kind of get back up around forty, 552 00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:13,200 and I'm just like losing, losing, losing, losing. Diogo Vieira 553 00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:16,720 really good player. Believe he's Portuguese even though his flag 554 00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:19,559 said American. Anyway, he's at my table, he's two to 555 00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:23,079 my right, he's steam rolling the table. Okay, he's playing. 556 00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:26,759 I thought very very well. He had a ton of chips. 557 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,279 He was, you know, the deck was working in his favor. 558 00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:32,359 He was getting people to pay him off in huge 559 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,519 spots where he like was just like two x three 560 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,680 x pot on river, like just crazy stuff. There was 561 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,079 a gentleman in seat nine who he was there originally 562 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,680 before he got moved before seven High joined. And I 563 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400 mean this gentleman was like Diego had him on like 564 00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,279 life till because he was just like doing all this 565 00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:53,680 stuff getting to pay him off. It was if that 566 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,039 guy would have stayed there, he would have for sure 567 00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:57,839 busted at our table and likely to Vira for sure. 568 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,920 So I'm just kind of like losing, losing, losing. So 569 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,880 I'm seeing Vera open like some some spots in some 570 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,799 later positions, like I was on the button, he would 571 00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:07,759 be in the hijack seat and he's opening hands like 572 00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,960 you know, queen six suited, seven five suited, like you know, 573 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,960 he's just he's getting a little bit more liberal, not 574 00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:14,680 that you can't get liberal on these spots. I agree 575 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,279 with him. I would probably be doing the exact same 576 00:29:16,279 --> 00:29:18,519 thing in his shoes. So then that leads me to 577 00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,519 a hand, you know, in the second to last level 578 00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:26,319 of the night, where he opens from the hijack seven 579 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,000 High who had now joined our table, who had If 580 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:31,039 seven High played a hand, he would just never fold, 581 00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:34,079 like to the river pretty much. I mean, he wasn't 582 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,240 like he wasn't giving it away. That might sound like 583 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:39,039 I'm saying he was giving it away. He was not 584 00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:43,359 giving it away. He was just incredibly sticky. He did fold. 585 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,839 Sometimes I'm using a little bit hyperbole there, but anyway, 586 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,279 he calls I have ace jack off on the button, 587 00:29:50,359 --> 00:29:52,799 and I think I can go either way. I think 588 00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:55,519 I can call. I think I can raise. Based on 589 00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:59,920 how liberal first VIA's opens were being and how much 590 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,200 seven High was getting in the mix, you know, kind 591 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,079 of playing hands in position. Both of them had had 592 00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:06,519 a good amount of chips. I was like, you know what, 593 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:09,640 I'm gonna three bet this hand. And I was like, 594 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,559 you know what if if Viera goes for this, like 595 00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:14,799 if he decides to come with a four bet, I don't. 596 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,359 I kind of don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. 597 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,559 I mean, I might just stack off, which which seemed 598 00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:19,880 crazy at the time, but I don't know. I probably 599 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,880 would have folded anyway. Via folds seven High, decides to 600 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,480 call it comes ten eighty three Rainbow. He checks, I bet. 601 00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:32,200 He calls h Turner is the King of Hearts, brings 602 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,000 a second heart. The other heart on the board was 603 00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:38,000 the three Hearts. He checks, I bet again. Sizeing up, 604 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,160 he calls like, well, what does this guy have? Does 605 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,160 he like? I mean, yeah, he can he can flop 606 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,039 sets here like he can have eights and tens, you know, 607 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,680 flats the rays. Although I thought with I thought with 608 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,960 those two hands tens and eights. You know, this would 609 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,359 be a good spot for him to It's not a 610 00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:55,960 spot where I think he might do it one hundred 611 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,519 percent of the time, but maybe sometimes he might backjam. 612 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,119 Given I was kind of on the shorter side. He 613 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,079 can just get the money in pre against me with 614 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,400 tens and eights right after he flats the rays from 615 00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:07,519 Viera and he gets out of the way. So there 616 00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:09,480 was a chance that I thought, you know, maybe some 617 00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:12,160 percent of the time he can flat those hands more 618 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,200 so tens than eights, just you know, and play for 619 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,119 a backjam. I also thought, you know, hand like King 620 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,640 ten suited can be in there. The river is just 621 00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:22,319 it's a blank. It's not a six or four or 622 00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:25,960 something whatever. He checks, and I debated just going for 623 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,400 the triple barrel and I would have put it all in, 624 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,079 and I didn't. I got I backed off, you know, 625 00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:33,599 I said, you know what, I don't need to do this. 626 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,440 The hard part is is that so okay? So I check. 627 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,079 Ultimately I have like fifteen k left or something. He 628 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,440 tables two nines, So I think his hand is supposed 629 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,680 to be a foal on the turn. I think, I mean, 630 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,799 that seems like it's getting pretty sticky out there, with 631 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,839 you know, two overs on board, me off my stack side, 632 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,279 going multiple streets here after three bedding pre I mean, 633 00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:02,400 that just seems pretty sticky. But given how he was playing, 634 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,000 I also think if I would have tripled it off, 635 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,319 he probably would have heroed me. So I might just 636 00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:08,359 be out of the tournament. I mean, I have no idea. 637 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,680 Maybe that works, maybe doesn't. I'm still unknown on it. 638 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,519 But anyway, the level ends shortly after that. I have 639 00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:18,799 eleven thousand, six hundred going into the last level of 640 00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:21,599 the night, last level of nights three hundred, six hundred, 641 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,319 so you know, I'm working with nineteen big Lindes, you know, 642 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,720 just under twenty big lines. And it's one of those 643 00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:29,599 days where you're just like, man, I just can't like 644 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,039 nothing's like nothing's working right. And I had a similar 645 00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:35,519 day day too, with a monster stack earlier this summer, 646 00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:37,279 back to a really good stack on day one, Day two, 647 00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,240 literally just lost every hand that I play, just could 648 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,839 not not maneuver at all or make anything happen. And 649 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,079 anything that other people were doing against me was like 650 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,640 it was working and it was good timing. It was everything, 651 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,680 you know, like and eventually you just kind of feel 652 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,319 like this punching bag. And I've been wearing a I 653 00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:59,480 had an ESPN Hockey Night jersey, a red hockey jersey 654 00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:02,200 that I wore, you know, just because WSB is back 655 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,079 on ESPN, and I decided, you know what, let's just 656 00:33:06,079 --> 00:33:07,880 wear this be a little bit festive. Last year on 657 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,680 the fourth of July, I worthy the USA jacket. This year, 658 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,079 will switch it up a little bit. So I had 659 00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:15,079 that on. Normally I just play in like my black 660 00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:18,359 PGT jacket, and I walked back to my desk and 661 00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:21,079 I said, you know what, screw this jersey, taking jersey off, 662 00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:23,279 I'm going back to all black. Put the all black 663 00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:27,920 back on. Shout out to my guy, Antonio o'brego, photographer 664 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,880 for Poker gro He's like, you know, He's like, just 665 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,079 just do some meditation whatever, you know, And normally I'm 666 00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:34,759 just like whatever. I kind of just go for a walk, 667 00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:37,640 I do some stretching, you know, whatever. I did. I 668 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,880 sat down and I did some breathing exercises and I 669 00:33:40,039 --> 00:33:42,039 just kind of sat in silence, and I was like, 670 00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:45,200 you know what, just like just just fucking grind, like 671 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,480 it's twenty big lines. In a poker tournament. You know, yes, 672 00:33:48,519 --> 00:33:50,839 it's the Waspe main event, but it's also twenty big 673 00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:53,039 lines in a poker tournament, and you've done that a 674 00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:56,079 million times in your life, Like you know what to do. Yes, 675 00:33:56,119 --> 00:33:58,680 everyone else has way more tips than you. It's not 676 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:01,279 fun to just be losing losing losings, but you still 677 00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:04,640 got twenty bigs, right, so just you know, just kind 678 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,640 of being like, yeah, just gotta just just gotta. It's 679 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,000 not that I wasn't trying hard, because I will always 680 00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:12,440 try hard. I just was like, you know what, just 681 00:34:12,519 --> 00:34:15,119 try even harder, like just I don't know if you 682 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:16,760 can do that, but just try even harder. And I 683 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,280 went back out there and maybe it's just the gods 684 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,719 shining down on me. But third hand, I get kings. 685 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,679 I'm in the big blind. I'm all in for eleven 686 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:29,400 thousand against a gentleman with ace king, and uh yeah, 687 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,199 I double up there, I get back up over twenty 688 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,880 play that stack for a little while. Then I four 689 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,719 bet rip ace King, gentleman who doubled me up with 690 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,239 the ace king when I had kings. He opens some 691 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,320 early position to twelve hundred. Diogo Viira makes it forty 692 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,000 two hundred from the cutoff. I'm in the small blind 693 00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:53,360 with Ace King. I put in twenty one three hundred 694 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,920 all in first raiser folds. I get a bit of 695 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,559 a tank with like like a minute or so minute 696 00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:02,000 and a half. You know, it was a long tank 697 00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:04,079 from Vieira. He's kind of hemming and hall on about 698 00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:08,880 the whole thing. And as he's thinking, I'm thinking because 699 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,440 the way he had been playing, like, I didn't think 700 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,199 he was three betting you know, tens nine's eight seven 701 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,760 stuff like that in this spot. So I kind of 702 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,880 didn't think I was up against a pair because I 703 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,719 thought that the pairs that he with three bet would 704 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,880 have already called me, right, you know, it's I mean, listen, 705 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,760 it's not You're not like fist pumping in there with 706 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,000 like jacks or queens because my hands look super strong. 707 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,440 But you're you're calling I mean queens. You're probably calling 708 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,559 pretty happily, and it's like whatever, you know. Plus he 709 00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,320 had it well over one hunter k and chips, I think, 710 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,119 so I'm thinking, does he just have Ace Queen here? 711 00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:41,480 Like he's queen suited And he's like really debating, like 712 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,679 you know, looking at me, like thinking and you know, 713 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,679 does he just have two tens or two jacks over there? 714 00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:47,840 And I'm just gonna ultimately flip with this guy. He 715 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,559 calls he's got two jacks, So I was a little 716 00:35:49,559 --> 00:35:52,239 bit surprised to not have seen a faster call with 717 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,280 the jacks. But I drilled the king, and you know, 718 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,559 we're back up over forty k and kind of cruising, 719 00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:04,199 got gotta touch over fifty table broke lost one hand 720 00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:06,320 towards like the second to last hand of the night 721 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,960 or something, and then uh yeah, bagged forty five nine hundred. 722 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,920 So again, given where I was at eleven thousand, six 723 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,519 hundred going into that final level of night, the day 724 00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:17,320 that I had where I hadn't won a pot for 725 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,639 six hours, and it just it seemed like it seemed 726 00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:24,000 like I was just like, you know what I said, 727 00:36:24,039 --> 00:36:26,679 you know what if if if you're gonna bust, you're 728 00:36:26,679 --> 00:36:28,440 gonna bust. I mean that it's it's at the end 729 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,920 of the day, it sucks the bus to the WS 730 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,559 be main event, yes, but also it's like people bust 731 00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,840 poker tournaments. Ah shit, ton of people bust poker tournaments 732 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,400 every time they go out and play them. So it's 733 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,239 not It's not the end of the world, you know, 734 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,960 and ultimately, if today is not your day, then then 735 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,719 you know, so be it. You know, so be it. 736 00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:47,440 But thankfully, you know, things did swing back in my 737 00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:50,239 favor and I was able to close pretty strong at 738 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,519 the end there, so so that was fun. Bagging forty 739 00:36:53,519 --> 00:36:57,719 five nine hundred is not starting stack, it's less than starting, 740 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,199 but uh, considering where I was and the day that 741 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,480 I had, had it feels like I bagged you know, 742 00:37:03,519 --> 00:37:06,320 four in one thousand, so I'm ready to go. Last year, 743 00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:10,159 I bag thirty five eight hundred on day one, So 744 00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:15,599 I've never really had a good day one I had. 745 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,480 I had one good day one, and then I punted 746 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,519 it off on day two. So the other times, it's 747 00:37:20,679 --> 00:37:22,960 it's more like I they almost I need to be 748 00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:24,559 I need to have to work for it, I guess 749 00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:26,400 is what I'm saying, Like I need to constantly work 750 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,159 for it. I can't just be front running the whole thing, 751 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,320 which is fine. I'm happy to go out there and uh, 752 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,280 you know, bring the lunch pal and go to work. 753 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,719 So so yeah, bring bring on day two.
