come on, we'd love to see you out there at
the studio later this year. The fifty k p PC
down to seventeen, finally in the money. The bubble took forever,
but kind of expected to be on it in in
this event, you know, very very good structure. You know,
players are obviously grinding, grinding, grinding as hard as they
can to try and get into the money. So Andrew
Yay is the current chip leader and a very very
big chip. He's got seven point nine massive shout out, massive,
seven point nine three five million. Albert do Here is
second in chips with five point one five million. And listen,
I don't like to overshadow the chip leader, but I
mean the guy in third grinder grinderself. But how does
Michael Moss Rocky do it? Because he's the best. It's
he's literally the best. It's unbelievable. This guy is the return.
Did you know, by the way, did you know that
this is his eleventh cash of the twy I call
it's not past. Yeah, and he's not even the top.
Sean Deeve's got the most with thirteen. Patrick entered his
second AKA pads. He's got twelve. Scott Bowman and Nick
Seward both have eleven, So now Michael ms Rocky also
has eleven because he is in the money in the
fifty k pps where.
Speaker 2: He cashes in. I thought he just turned up last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly thought I saw him in like I
saw him like a six hundars deep sack and like that,
and then I saw him in the fifty k oh
he he went deep in the the whatever the Battle
of the Ages. Yeah, but literally I saw him as
I think a six dollars deep sack. I saw him
in the Battle of the Ages, go deep, and then
and obviously here in the fifty k PPC, and that's it.
That's really all I've seen him all summer.
Speaker 2: So if you before, what do you think Grinder could
sell at for the PPC loon?
Speaker 1: I mean, at this rate, he has to be able
to sell. Like are you talking okay, who's he selling to?
You're talking about like listing on Poker Steak. Sure, three
point zero. What I was gonna say, two point oh
might be outrageous. Three point zero No, Because here's the thing.
When you're listening on poker steak to the public. I mean, yeah,
if you sell a three point oh, that's kind of
taking advantage of people. But I'm you asked me what
he could he sell out that people would buy, people
would buy him at three point zero? I think, didn't
you buy people are silly? Five point or didn't I
challege you five point?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Some ridiculous and he made me myself. I'm a great investor,
right yeah. So Michael m is rocky. I mean, this
is this is absolutely wild. He's already won this event
three times. He's cashed in it previously five times, now six.
He's the all time money leader in this tournament. So
he's going to add to that even more guaranteed one
hundred thousand dollars. There's more than one point three million
dollars up top. Let me just run through the seventeen
players that are left and how they've done previously in
this event. Andrea the chip leader. Zero cash is so
he's making his first Alberta heir. Also, zero cash is
making his first justin Liberto, zero cash is making his
first Christian Roberts. Zero cash is making his first ben Lamb.
He has one previous cash he finished eighth in this
event in twenty eleven for two hundred and one thousand dollars.
Bryn Kenny is making his second cash. His previous cash
was twelfth place in twenty thirteen for one hundred and
forty seven thousand dollars. Alislami is also in the money.
It's his first time in the money in this event.
Esther Taylor another big notable story from this event. She's
never cashed in it before. She's cashing a whole crap
ton of stuff before. She's the second woman to ever
cash in this event. Do you know the other one?
Why answer the question? Go ahead and tell melissabok do
you know what year it was? Give me year or place.
Speaker 2: I want to say it was like ninth, like a
bubble of the final table and I want to go close.
Speaker 1: It was seventh.
Speaker 2: Okay, is the final table.
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen, twenty fourteen, So Melissa Birr twenty fourteen, she
finished seventh one hundred and sixty five dollars. Esther Taylor
is the second woman to cash in the fifty KPPC.
Pretty crazy. I think a lot of people out there
would have guessed Jen Harmon. I would have guessed it two. Nope,
Melissa Birr was the first and now Eta is second.
We talked about Michael mis Rocky. He's going for his
fourth win in this event. Him and Brian rast have
both won this event three times. Michael miss Rocky is
making his sixth cash in the fifty k PPC. It's
his eleventh cash this summer at the twenty twenty five
World Series of Poker. Eric Lindren, He's got one previous
cash way back in two thousand and eight he took
third place for seven hundred and eighty one thousand dollars.
He's still in making his second cash in the PPC.
Jaal Vieira was ninth last year for one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars, so back to back cash is for him.
Mike Madisow is still in. Now that's a freaking story.
If Mikey, Mikey the Mouth goes on to win, I mean,
that would be iconic.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I can. He's the only person I'm cheering for me.
Speaker 1: Let me get through the seventh and then we'll talk
about who we think the best stories are. How about
that Mike mattis I was making his third cash in
twenty seventeen, he finished twelfth for ninety seven K. In
two thousand and seven he finished sixteenth through eighty nine thousand.
John Kite has never cashed before, but he's in the
money this year. Marco Johnson eleventh in twenty twenty three
FO one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. This is his
second cash in the PPC. Chris Vich has two previous
cashes in the PPC. Twenty eighteen he finished eleventh for
eighty AK and in twenty nineteen he finished tenth for
ninety four thousand. Matthew Ashtin the only other previous winner
still left. He won at once, he also has five cashes.
Now he has six, and then Ben Yu squeaked in
there as the short stack, but he's in there with
his first cash. So those are the seventeen players and
what they've done in this event. Let me also point
out Albert daher Hester, Taylor Akae Kay and John Kite
are the only three players remaining who have not wanted
WSFP bracelets. So I think like storylines. Obviously, Michael is
rocky going for number four. It's just absolutely freaking on her.
This guy in this tournament. Okay, you got that you
had Sa Taylor. If et wins it, that would be incredible.
A woman winning the fifty KPPC awesome. Mike Madisow, of course,
you know, legendary career. He's been, you know, yelling about
getting in the Hall of Fame, like all this sort
of stuff. Right, He's been kind of dry at the WSFP,
at least in terms of gold. I know he had
a recent second place finish and that was pretty big.
It was either last year of the year before ago.
But it's not like, you know, Mike, he's knocking at
the door as often as he used to. But this
in this event, the prestige of the fifty KPPC. If
he happens to go on to win it, holy craft,
that's awesome. Matthew Ashton of course, joining the multiple winner club,
if he's able to win it a second time, that
would be crazy. I think Peric Lingrin is a pretty
interesting story as well. You know, everything that Eric Lingeran
has gone through over his career, you know, he's gone up,
he's gone way down. Now he's definitely on that rise
back up. So if he's ultimately able to come out
on top, you know, incredible. And then you have like
kind of a collective story of like the new Guys,
I'll say, Andrew Ye, Albert Daher justin Liberto Christian Roberts,
you know, like that group where they're making John Kite
as well Ben ben You I mean, even though Benu
has been around, still like first time cashing in this event,
you know, first time making it to this stage of
this tournament. So them going on to win it would
be a very very cool story. What do you got
for stories? What are you looking at? You said, you
already said, Matis.
Speaker 2: I think Madison is the biggest one. You know, we've
talked about Hall of Fame. He's been stuck in four
braces for just so long now, so him getting to
five in the fifty kight VVC would be quite magical.
You know, Mike Madison winning a fourth, not just like
a fourth, I know he has more than that, but
just like it's four in the same event. You know,
we've talked about we kind of we mentioned it last
night when we discussed Aaron comings winning two in the
same one. The fact that he can win for it's
in this It's not just a fifteen hundred start, it's
the fifty thousand buying PBC is kind of amazing. And
then I think the third story honestly could be, you know,
a toss up between either this comeback story of Eric
Lingran or you know a K. I think he can
flip a coin on that one, and it kind of
choose which story is the better one there.
Speaker 1: On Madisl's four bracelets that he already has. Nineteen ninety
nine he won this is a weird buying thirty five
hundred dollars buying Nolan would hold them, which they don't
have that anymore. Twenty twenty or two thousand and two,
excuse me, five k Omaha high Low. He won that.
Two thousand and eight he won the five K Nolan
adduced to seven draw with rebuys. How crazy is this?
This tournament that he won the five K Noland duced
to seven single draw with rebuys in two thousand and eight,
madis I won it for five hundred and thirty seven
thousand dollars, which is more than Nick Shulman won this
year in the ten K, the biggest ever ten K
in that tournament, and madis I won more in two
thousand and eight. It's because of all those insane rebuts.
I'm sure that tournament was an absolute glorious shit show.
I'm sure it was just like rebye rebye rebut you know,
I'm sure it was nuts. And then in twenty thirteen,
Madisau won a five K seven card stud high low
split eight air betcher. Yeah, that's is that the year
when they did the Championships five K. He won that
for two hundred and sixty six thousand dollars. So, man,
madis how and he's I mean we saw him doing
some stretches. Yeah, you could saw him like barely walking.
I mean, he's If you've seen the Mike Madison documentary,
he talks a lot about his physical struggles, mainly with
his back, the pain that he's in. He's always, you know,
rolling around on his scooter. He's oftentimes and he's helped
getting in and out of chairs and stuff. He's got
his own special chair here, you know, all of it.
During breaks, he's laying down having his buddy help stretch
him because his back was in so much pain. I mean,
the guy looks visibly in pain, Like I was in
pain watching him be in pain today. So the fact
that he's had to endure that and made it to
the money in this grueling event. You know, he's had
to sit in this chair forever today, go through this
bubble crazy stuff, and now you know, who knows what
can come of it? Right, I'm sure at least parts
of the day, like adrenaline probably kicks in with the
rush of a poker terma and it helps alleviate some
of that pain. But also, I mean you could visibly
see how much he was hurting. So I mean, listen,
good for Mikey toughing it out, and that would be
absolutely freaking tremendous if he's able to go on and win.
So a lot of cool stories left. On Saturday, the
players are going to come back at three o'clock Vegas.
Time are our stream?
Speaker 2: Is Friday?
Speaker 1: Friday? Sorry, I'm used to like I got in my
mode of looking at the day and then skipping ahead,
and now it's screwed me up. So on Friday, which
is today, when are they coming back? Three o'clock?
Speaker 2: I'm going three o'clock and a fall, got it at
three levels, take a little dinner break, and then pick
it all back up again. All right, And who's on?
Do you remember who's on? Commentary? It's supposed to be me,
Alex Livingston and Chris Fitch. No.
Speaker 1: I was told today it's me with somebody I don't know,
so I'll be showing up at that time to commentate
on the fifty k PPC and who the heck knowes
who's going to come alongside of me. But we'll see,
all right, that's the fifty k PPC. Let's move on
over to the tag team event. Team Kerber, the Brazilian
team of Kelvin Kerber and Peter Patrizio, winning it all
for one hundred and eighty four thousand dollars, So that's
what ninety two thousand dollars each, ninety three thousand dollars
each when you include a little bit over. They defeated
French team Sammy Bumala and Hikham Mamouki. I probably butchered
all of those names a very I thought I just
had a bloody nose. By the way, the people who
were watching just saw me freak out for a second.
The craziest raal we've had of the song, yes by far,
so crazy that loudest I'm gonna say loudest, I mean, yeah,
loudest that they had to relocate them because it was
too close to the fifty k, they still were ungodled loud. Yeah,
they called in extra security. Okay, multiple times they had
to go over and tell them to please be quiet.
Now I don't understand. Let the rails be loud as
loud as they want. Now, there's certain things you can't do.
Like I went over there at one point, I said, guys,
I don't care how loud you are, just please don't
bang on the set. Can't break this thing. But for
the love of God, especially when we got the new
LED screens, like please don't break because they were banging
on the walls. The other thing is like the drinks,
just can you not spill any drinks over the LED stuff? Please,
for the love of God, just you know, help with that.
I don't care what sort of chance you're doing, as
long as they're you know, not mean hearted and you're
swearing and all that.
Speaker 2: Sort of stuff. Cool, fair game, go nuts. So that
was that.
Speaker 1: But you had the French side, you had the Brazilian side,
and they were going back and forth. I mean it
was like a soccer match. It was like chanting on
the one side, you know. For the French guys, they
would stop the Brazilians would start up, go back at them,
then French side would go back at that again. It
just kept going. And when they moved up to the
main set away from that secondary set four or left
and then France and Brazil get heads up, so it's
even crazy. It was amazing. It was amazing in here.
It was so loud, so shout out to Calvin Kerbert
and Peter Patrizio. Heads up play didn't take long at all.
I think they got it in on one of the
first hands that they played perfect and of course, you know,
plenty of cheering and you know, craziness and all that
sort of stuff. A couple other mentions here on the payouts,
Angela Jordison and Maxwell Young, eighth place, Christy Moreno and
Andrew Marino, which was really just Christy Moreno. They finished
in twelfth. Andrew is over at the win in the
thirty five hundred dollars four million dollars guaranteed tournament. He's
down to the final five, he's five of five. I
believe Arthur march Rosi is the chip leader, but he's
guaranteed three hundred and twenty five k over there with
a million dollars up top so he was doing that
today while Christy was doing this today. So they finished
in twelfth place. Cody Daniels and Alan Keating they had
a run to fourteenth place, and then Jamie Kirstedter and
Corey Paget, the former runners up to Espen George ed
and Patrick Leonard a couple of years ago. They finished
in twenty third. The five K six Max one of
the absolute toughest tournaments of the summer every single summer
here at the World Series of Poker and jelco On
Drakovic winning it all eleven hundred and sixty eight entries
enormous field eight hundred and fifty five k for first
his first WSP GO bracelet. He came into today the
final day of play, fifth in chips with five players
of mating. According to Poker News, he won eight all
in showdowns on the way to winning the tournament.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's that's an incredible way. That's exactly
how you win tournament. And it's good to win. You're
all in showdowns when it's late, he told Poker News afterwards.
It's something that every poker player dreams of. It's a
breath of fresh air to finally be here, meaning in
the winner circle. So shout out to On Drakovic's there
or eight hundred and fifty five K for his score.
Adrian Delmas second place for five hundred and seventy K,
Now Farrell third place for three hundred and ninety eight
thousand dollars, Matthew Zambanini two hundred and eighty two K
for fourth, and Brandon Shields a fifth place for two
hundred and three thousand dollars. Oh Mary Scurse sixth place
should mention him as well. He was watching rocking. The
PGT was all all tournament long one hundred and forty
eight K for maryus sick Field, the Sick Tournament. That
one the one K Ladies Championship, which I know you
brought it up yesterday. I told you I was not
willing to call it to name it after someone, you know,
because I think that the Ladies Championship should be named
the Ladies Championship. But I'm willing to make it an
edit the Ladies Championship presented by Sena Okamoto. Okay, That's
how I'm gonna you know, It's not like sometimes we
like the Adam Friedman invitation. Like, no, this is now
going to be called I know, I'm getting a little
ahead of myself. She's third in ships after day one.
I know. I mean, it's outrageous outrange. She won the
event last year, she finished second the year before in
twenty twenty three, and now she's third in chips after
day one.
Speaker 2: She ain't even in the money yet. All right, let's sith.
Speaker 1: I haven't engraved it yet, like I haven't like written
it in Penn. I'm not saying. I'm just saying, like
it's a working title, the mock up. It's a working title.
It's a you know, I'm work shopping right now with you.
The Ladies Championship present are hosted by hosted by Sheena Okamoto.
That's what if she if she cashes, I'm giving her
the name.
Speaker 2: I don't know she's got, she's got a final title.
Speaker 1: She's on her way. She's on her way. So numbers
are in for this event, the Ladies Championship. Nice uptick
from last year. Thirteen hundred and sixty eight entries this year.
That's going to lead to one hundred and eighty four
thousand dollars first place prize. Last year was twelve forty five.
Year before that was twelve ninety five, and then twenty
twenty two it was one thousand and seventy four. So
the main one is last year twelve forty five. So
you see an uptick of more than one hundred entries
this year. That's great to see. You have Dorothy a
cadre leading the way. A handed mob says that she's
from Vegas, just thirty two thousand dollars in earnings. I
saw a bunch of cashes from the South Point on
her on her handed mob. Her career best scorer is
for forty seven hundred dollars. This is her seventh career
w soop cash or sorry, she's not there, not on
the money yet they're like one hundred away. Yeah, this
is her. She has six cashes. She's going for her
seventh career to ever speak cash. Sorry I worded that wrong.
Hopefully I didn't drink jinks you Dorothy. And then as
I mentioned Shina Okamoto third place in chips after day one,
she won the event last year, she finished second the
year before. That's incredible as she's basically the Japanese grinder.
I mean, she should only play this tournament every year,
just you know, show up to Vegas basically win her
like ninety k and her ninety two whatever.
Speaker 2: She was run her up in an event of venation
a few days ago, like one of their like random
six hundreds.
Speaker 1: Why don't you look this up? You are on your computer.
Speaker 2: I'm taking secon. I'm pretty sure the second olive.
Speaker 1: But why don't you look it up?
Speaker 2: Because I'd like to use my memory? Are you looking up?
And am I looking at?
Speaker 1: Maybe both? I see eleventh place at the win Okay,
I don't see anything at Venetian. I see a fourth
place in another win tournament. So yeah, but the Venetian
ones might not be in yet.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm checking.
Speaker 1: The You gotta kind of like fall through the Twitter,
the Twitter world. But anyway, Sheena Okamoto, she's the new
host of the Ladies Championship. You think people know? You
think you said she sit down on the table. You
think people know? Oh, we should also look up if
our girl Cheryl made it through.
Speaker 2: I just checked it. She's gonna make it, damn it,
damn it, Cheryl. Come on, come on, come on, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Well you're you're not gonna find anything over there.
Speaker 2: So bang, I found it in your face fifth place. Think, okay,
eleven hundred ultimate sec. There you go.
Speaker 1: I mean she's just hosting everything in Vegas. That's what
she's doing. Shea Okamoto, the hostess with the mostest. Let's
look at the Gladiators of Poker. Two starting flights done.
We're not gonna get too much into this one because
it's very early. I quickly scanned the chip cowns. I
didn't really see anyone that popped off the page. But
again that was a very very quick run through. But
the main thing is the numbers so far. Yesterday we
talked about how they got three thy six hundred and
fourteen for Day one A. That was down one hundred
and seventy eight entries from last year's Day one A.
Now this multi flight no limit hold them event does
not have an added flight over last year. I know,
like Monster Stack hadn't added flight, the Milli Maker had
an added flight, the let's say Mystery Millions had an
added flight. All that stuff had added flights. This one
says the same four flights, so one A year over year,
down one seventy eight, one B up to seventy two.
So they're up overall, this year's one B got four
five hundred and eighty nine. Last year was foury, three
hundred and seventeen, so so far they're trending slightly up
through the first two starting flights. Last year's field size
for this one came in at twenty thousand, six hundred
and forty seven entries. Again, this is a three hundred
dollars buying, three million dollar guarantee on this poker tournament,
one of the very few tournaments in the WUS that
has a guarantee, can you believe it? And they're obviously
gonna blow right through it, of course, so we'll hit
on more of that, you know, probably once we get
to day two. We'll obviously run through the numbers every
single day. For Friday, they're looking to at least get
to or surpass last year's five thy six hundred ninety nine,
and then on Saturday six thousand, eight hundred and sixty nine.
Those were the two numbers from one C and one
D from twenty to twenty four the Super Seniors, the
old Guys and Gales, nine remained from a field size
of three thousand, three hundred and thirty eight. Lonnie Weitzel
Martin Koehler, Richard Franzen, Daimir Finnick, Richard Jute, Wesley Cameron,
Lawrence White, Edwin Houston, and Zahir Sayeg are all moving
on to the final day. They are guaranteed thirty five thousand,
eight hundred dollars. They are playing for a three hundred
and fifty six thousand dollars first place prize. We lost
the Flying Dutchman in Takes Place. He flew his queens
right into kings. Don't know why the hell you would
do that, Martin Sorrow he was. I did not see
any I checked in on that event a few times today.
I did not see any singing. I didn't see any
upside down sunglasses. I didn't really see any wackiness from Marcel.
And that's why he finished tenth the exactly. You know
you got it like he was wearing like it looks
like a windbreaker, like no suit, no tielers. You know,
it's just yeah, he did. He lost his mojo, Marcel Man.
Speaker 2: You know there's people like watching this, like, what are
you talking about?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Marcel would Lucy was that two thousand
and four.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like mid two thousands he would
like the guy, one of the guys.
Speaker 1: But well, his run it was it was not the
money maker year. It was I think two thousand and
four or two thousand and.
Speaker 2: Five, like hash Them's year.
Speaker 1: Look it up. I mean it was an incredible run.
He was singing his whole way. He had the upside done.
Speaker 2: The last picture that just the first picture of him,
is this beautiful.
Speaker 1: He was always wearing a suit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this always had a nice suit. You gotta go,
you gotta go by price, you gotta go. Tenth place
in two thousand and four, yeah, and then he had
a twenty third place in twenty seventeen. He also had
a two thousand and six he had a five kish
the final table with a five K O limit hold
on me, fire on table. The runner up finished five
K STUD World Championship.
Speaker 1: To I bet you you click on that. Sebastian Ruthenberg
won it.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and four was a good year for Marcellas Nope.
Joe Water episode though is onucker Goo WSP Classic Library.
Speaker 1: He definitely made it. Might have been a third place
finish then in a stud tournament two that Sebastian Ruthenberg won.
I can't remember. I just remember covering as it was
one of my first tournaments that I ever.
Speaker 2: And he's got a fourth in the stud highlight which
one do you want to go with?
Speaker 1: The stud? Not the homost No, no, not the horse,
you would be correct. There you go and Chris Ferguson. Yep, yep,
there you go and your boy, Bob Lauria, Bob Lauria. Yeah,
I remember. I remember exactly where that was inside the Rio,
in the Amazon room. I remember that there was I
remember that one ran super late. I remember that there
was a conversation about possibly stopping it. I remember Chris
Ferguson was saying that no endurance is a part of
poker tournaments, you'd be able to play super long. I remember,
I remember it like it was yesterday. I mean, that
was one of my first tournaments that I covered.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I do like that that line from Chris, Folks,
that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is part of Yeah, it is, you know.
I mean I think it's good to try and avoid
it when you can, but if it should come down
to it, then yeah, it just that's that's part of it.
That's how it is. The three K no limits hold
him so we talked yesterday how they the field size
was not set yep, you know, and it was gonna
go up. And I forget what I said. I think
I said twenty two hundred. Well it blew past that. Yeah,
we did.
Speaker 2: Look.
Speaker 1: Two thousand, three hundred and thirty eight entries. One hundred
and twenty seven remain the top three hundred and fifty
one spots paid, so they are well into the money.
The prize school is more than six point two million dollars.
First place eight hundred and thirty thousand dollars. UK's Hamid
Toggin leads the way. Kunal Patney is second in CHIPS.
Two time bracelet winner Julian Kolev is fourth in CHIPS.
Two thousand and seven WSP main event winner your Boy
because you dressed up as in ones. Jerry yang Chip
is eighth in CHIPS.
Speaker 2: I got a burn to pick with Jerry.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, what did he do?
Speaker 2: Well, there's a new rule of the World Series.
Speaker 1: Okay, there is. There's like nineteen new rules.
Speaker 2: Sure, allowed to cover your face, west sunglasses and a
Jodiola once you knowed to do two of the three.
Speaker 1: Really, that's a rule. Well, that was a rule yep.
So he was doing that in the tournament. He was
sitting with Atha Mars. Wait, hold on, how is that
even allowed to be a rule? You can't wear sunglasses
and a hoodie and a mosque. But what if the
mask is medical? That should not miss medical? Huh west mosk.
But I'm saying, like, if there's an actual medical reason
and taking sunglasses stuff, no, But like what if you
have a medical thing for all of them? What if
you're sick and that's why you're wearing the mask and
part of being sick is that you have to stay warm,
hence the hoodie, and then also and then also the
glasses are because of like the prescription glasses. I'm just
saying this sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 2: It's a rule. I'm just saying, I don't see everyone
executed by uh by Bob Smith in one of the tournaments,
and Arthur Morris was like, yeah, he's he's over there
and he's he's like talking to himself in every hand,
but he's.
Speaker 1: Listening to music and I'm like, is he singing? He's
like no, he's like praying. Like guys, I don't know,
Jerry Yang play poker amos. This is like par for
the course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I and I said to authors like authors like, yeah,
he's wearing a mask, got a hoodie, he's got a hat,
he's got sung glass, he's got it all. And I'm like, yeah,
you know that. Do that. He's like, what are you
talk about? He's like, there's a new rule? Is oh? Really?
So he didn't know. But either way, Jerry Yang the
shadow was out there.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are this year. I
thought there was a rule that in the final three
tables you couldn't be on their phone. Everyone's on their phone.
Speaker 2: No, I think they I think they've given up from
that one.
Speaker 1: It's like people are people got the streams on and
the crowds. I'm like, what, what the hell is happening?
I mean, I don't, I don't. I personally don't think
that those should be rules, but they did put them
in place, so I thought that they would then be
enforced and they're just not. So it's like whatever. The
other day, somebody if forget what tournament was, I think
it might have been the twenty five K Pooh, but
you heard someone I forget who it was now, but
they stepped off stream. But you could hear them still
and they said, so we all can't be on our phones,
but phil Ive he can be on his phone like
he's got a I mean, it is a it is
a true point, right, Yeah, So anyway, continue anything else
on Jeriday.
Speaker 2: The Shadow just Atha Mars is playing with the shadow.
Speaker 1: So what you're bone to pick is that he's breaking
the rules. Yeah, I mean, okay, you're a narc.
Speaker 2: Is what you are.
Speaker 1: You're a narc. Bracelet winner. Romain Lewis is ninth, and
Chips and then some other names that I pulled out
of the top fifty, Danny Cpo, Martin Zemani, Martin Finger,
and Stevens Song also in the top fifty. Stephen Song
is on our twenty five K Fantasy team. He's going
for once again. He bagged nine hrd K. I believe
they come back to twenty K Big blind so that'll
be forty five big blinds. It'll be the top thirty six,
so a bit of a ways to go with one
hundred and twenty seven left. But Song he made whatever
day it was at that win, thirty five hundred day
three something like that. He busted from that tournament with sixteen.
I was talking to him today with six. I saw
him in the field. I was like, I thought you
were at the win. He's like, oh yeah, man, and
he's like, I busted with like sixteen or seventeen minutes
left to get over here, got my car sped over here,
he goes just for you. Yeah, It's like, well not
really but but yeah, sped over here. Regden time spun
up a stack perfect. Phil Ivey made a deep run.
Think he cashed around one hundred and seventieth place or
something like that. So yeah, So that is the three
K Nolman Holden. This is scheduled as a four day event,
so stay tuned for more updates on this one. Again.
Eight hundred and thirty thousand dollars up top just simply
freaking incredible in that tournament the fifteen hundred dollars stud
high Low. There are eleven players left. They are guaranteed
eight six hundred dollars one hundred and fifty three K
up top. Jay kerbel leads the way Kurbel out of
Huntington Beach, California, his sixth cash this summer. It is
his deepest run at the Doubyscipe of his career. I
believe I saw that his best prior one was fifteenth.
I want to say a top six gets him his
career best score. Blajerry Off second in Chips. Geeze, he
won the twenty five K six max I believe yeah.
Huck Seed eighth in Chips, eleventh cash of the summer
for mister Huckley.
Speaker 2: He's back.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's freaking wild these guys just ranking up
these cashes. Dennis Strepkov tenth in Chips as well. We
lost hal Rothlts in twelfth. We lost Robert miss Rocky
in thirteenth. Kind of interesting that Robert mss Rocky was
running deep while Michael mims Rocky was also running deep
in the same room about one hundred feet away from
each other on the rail too. Yes, very true, but
only one not Donnie. We didn't have Donnie. We had Eric,
not Donnie. Alan Castler busted in twenty ninth. Jake Schwartz
got thirtieth. Schwartz also is eleventh cash of the summer,
so making their eleventh cashes. We got Michael mss Rocky,
we have Jake Schwartz, and we have Huck Seed. And
they joined who did they join?
Speaker 2: Olman and Olmen and Nick Seward at Nick So yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 1: So people are just racking up the cashes and those
don't include I believe they don't include the online cashes.
So it's even more like Sean deeb It says he
has thirteen, but if you add the online stuff, which
I don't think is tallied, and yet it's probably more
like sixteen. Yeah. Pretty crazy so far through about what
sixty eight events or something like that. So wild stuff there.
So the plan is for this one, it'll finish out
on Friday. We'll have one hundred and fifty three thousand
dollars gold bracelet winner, the ten K triple Draw, the
ten K deuces even triple draw championship that kicked off today.
One hundred and twenty are kicked off yesterday. See, I
gotta get this right. I really got to get this right.
This is what happens when you do podcasts. At three
twenty six in the morning, one hundred and twenty three
entries on day one. Registration is still open. They had
one hundred and forty nine last year. I would say
we definitely get Phil Ivy because he did not enter
because he busted late in the three K I don't
know if I don't think Phil Helmuth entered. He got
very close to the money in the fifty k. I
think he busted in twentieth. Yes, that sounds about seventeen paid.
But the big news, of course, is our boy, London
John leading the way. He messaged me about the London
and John, tell me, what did you say? It's London John,
because of Ellie. That's what Ellie calls me. He's freaking
London John. I told you he's London John. So he
leads the way. John Manette is fifth. Brian Tate, the
founder and CEO of Oates Overnight. Right here, guys, check
it out oats overnight dot Com. He's in sixth place.
Jeremy Osmas, Oh, we guy, He's gonna get some bad
The boy's gonna start heating up. The boy's gonna start
heating up in the back half of the WSP. Let's
go so. John Shorman's one of fifty to advance. Jeremy
Osmins is eight of fifty two advance. Let's go, boys,
start cooking. And for Jeremy, he got he made today
in the fifty k, ended up busting went over there.
I saw on his Instagram that he's like busted the
fifty k in the ten K deuce to seven with
my lucky beer, So maybe he just needs to be
drinking yeah at all times. So Jeremy beers from hand
number one man, that's that's what's got to happen. Dani
Lgran who sits fourteenth I mentioned no iv yet he
is the defending champ in this one. This was the
one that gave him his eleventh that basically go a bracelet.
He beat Danny Wong in this one. Last year, Ivy
did bust that three k Nolanan hold him late, so
it's likely that he's going to come in for day two.
I think we'll also see that with Phil Helmuth maybe,
I mean Phil is known to take a day off
here or there, so we'll see how Phil feels. But
I'm pretty confident that this challenges pretty closely with last
year's number, if not surpasses it. So more on that
as we go. No prize school official, no you know,
first place prize, all that sort of stuff, because it's
still on going. And then twenty five K Fantasy. I
saw some people in the YouTube comments that were asking
about twenty five K fantasy, So why not hit on it.
Huh huh. I mean we mentioned we got Steven Song
in the three k okay he's in the final one
to twenty seven. There would love if he can get
the top thirty six to get us the field bonus.
The field bonus would get us an additional twenty two
or twenty three points. We have John Shrman leading the
way in the ten k DEU just to seven. We
got Jeremy Osmas eighth and chips, so that's great.
Speaker 2: Just one too. Sealman beats Ozma's heads up.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: One of these teams, Tommy Carl Thoden think he's out
one of these teams. Yeah. The team that's leading the
way team BTG. They have nine hundred and twenty points
on an absolutely freaking blistering pace.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They actually did do the one too the other day
in the twenty five kplo Oh, that's right. Dylan Lindy
won it. Steven Chickwick got second. This this team is
ridiculous in terms of what they're doing. Dylan Lindy two
hundred and ninety five points. Nick Guaghenti one hundred and
fifty three points. Puna Punstreet one twenty five, Adam Friedman
ninety five, Steven Chidwick ninety three, Isaac Haxson eighty five,
dan Zach fifty, Owaysa med twenty four. Now, on paper,
these last two dan Zach and Owaysamed, I'm not really
a fan of having them on the team. Dan Zach.
It's not that these guys aren't really good players. It
really just comes down to like volume. Yeah, with dan Zach,
I think it's I don't think anyone really kind of
knew what he was going for. I feel like he
was going for a crap ton of money a couple
of years ago, and then this year he only went
for thirteen. Because it's like, say, how much is he
gonna play? What's he gonna play? Exactly right, I'll say
the same thing with Oaysamed. You know what's he gonna play?
How much is he gonna play? But it's also interesting
to me that Owaysamed went for nineteen and dan Zach
went for thirteen.
Speaker 2: Anyway, by the way, I'm pretty sure was the final.
Speaker 1: So they just mack it out. Yeah, probably this team
is doing well, so they're absolutely crushing again. Nine and
twenty points, just freaking blistering pace. Second place has seven
hundred and ninety four, so that's a pretty good gap.
One hundred and twenty six points separate first and second,
and that's Team Dinkers, the champs. I mean, these guys
just know what they're doing, huh. I mean, it's pretty
unbelievable with this team. What's most crazy about the Dinkers
is that their team is ridiculously top heavy. They have
Victor Blam Benny Glauser two ninety five and two fifty
six respectively, Alan Lee one sixty nine, Dylan Wiseman seventy
all right, that's half their team. Then they have David
Prociak has three points, Alex Phonikov's who I think I've
seen in two tournaments, has one point, Brandon Wilson has
zero points. I might have seen him in two tournaments,
and Sergio Ido, I'm not sure I've seen him in
a single tournament. He has zero points. Both Wilson and
Ido have zero points, So they have all the points
in four guys and they're still in second place. Crushing,
I mean, just absolutely wild stuff. Also, if you go
to twenty five K fantasy dot Com, one of the
things that they do if you click on the team's
tab is you can see everyone's score on the standings,
but you can see also the number of cases on
their team. These guys have by far the least number
of cases. Of course, because of those four players that
I mentioned, they only have twenty seven cashes.
Speaker 2: What's the most? Have like forty the most?
Speaker 1: Can I click on this? I can't click on that.
I see sixty and that is the third place team
and Brown's bargain bin okay, but the closest to I
mean two teams have thirty three, but twenty seven is
by far the lowest number of cashes. And the fact
that they have twenty seven cashes but seven hundred and
ninety four points is wild to me. I think, if
I remember when we did the post draft podcast that
I like to this team, I think, I like what
the what Dinkers does. I think they got a good
feel for the draft, so that's panning out. They're just
absolutely crushing. They're probably gonna win the whole thing again,
which is just crazy to me. The top scorers are
Dylan Lindy. They're on Team BTG, Victor Blom on Team Dinkers.
Both Dylan Lindy and Victor Blom have two hundred and
ninety five points each. Then Benny Glasser is the next
highest scoring player. He's got two fifty six. He's also
on the Dinkers. Then you have Philip Sternheimer two forty one.
He's on Handsome Horses, which I believe is his own team,
and then joo Vieira is on a team Lady Gaga
two twenty three. And of course we know that joo
Vieira is still in the fifty k PPC, so that
number is going to go up a little bit higher.
So that's kind of a breakdown of what's happening at
the top of the leaderboard. We got to go a
little bit further down to check in on our team
because we have dropped down to sixteenth. I think we
were challenging for the top five a couple of weeks ago,
but we obviously slipped down. We have four hundred and
fifty five points. We still have Stephen Song, as I
mentioned in the three K. We have John Shorman and
Jeremy Osmas who bagged nicely in the ten K deuce
to seven, so hopefully they can make some noise. I
want to say, and this might be a little bit
upsetting to people who might have invested in our team
that it's going to be almost impossible just to catch
Team BGG if they keep any sort of decent pace
for the rest of the summer. Okay, it's also probably
going to be very difficult to catch Team Dinkers.
Speaker 2: I had Tommy Carlo Is going to win the wspig
Man eventa.
Speaker 1: Well, that would just be incredible. But I actually think
Steven Song is gonna win it, so it doesn't matter. Okay,
But what I'll say is that one good day and
we're in the.
Speaker 2: Top five, baby steps get in the top five, then
the top four, like the top three, top two, top one.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying top one to two seem almost unreachable
at this point. Top one for sure, but like fifth
place is six seventy four. That's only two twenty ahead
of us, which isn't that crazy? You know? Yeah, that's
like one very very very good day. I know that
means a very very very good day. But it can happen.
It can definitely happen to Jeremy and Johnny Shoreman. Yeah, one,
two and.
Speaker 2: Then and the same time Song is gonna win the
three K I.
Speaker 1: Mean, that's what I mean. You have a very very
very good day like that and boom, we're right there.
That's like at least six thousand points, right. I wish,
I absolutely wish, But yeah, it is crazy. So uh,
you know, I know it doesn't sound good to say
that we're sixteenth out of twenty fourth, but you know,
I just kind of look at like the leaps that
we can make, and the team is putting themselves in
position every single day, so I'm not really upset about it.
I still very much believe that Johnny Shoreman London, John
He's got a final table run in him. I think
it can click any day for Jeremy Osmas. You just
need to keep drinking the beers. Steven Song is obviously
doing what we need him to do as our specialist.
I definitely think that Nico Milgram is gonna win a
racelet this year. I for sure think that he's having
a great summer. He keeps running deep. I know he's
like gets a little bit up sevent he has deep
runs and they don't materialize into a final table or
a win. But I'm telling you, Nico, it is coming.
Speaker 2: Come yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and then we can get some surprises from
Hurry Reichenstein's been playing super well Boris Angelov as well.
So I'm happy overall. I'm happy overall. So let's go,
let's go team all right, that's all I got.
Speaker 2: I got a little querly quick community cads. Benjamin stopped
me today. He was wearing this really kind of dug
vintage like UNLV white visa red trim. And the reason
I mentioned that because kind of intriguing me to start
looking at like some retrovisors. I was thinking, oh, this
could be, you know, twenty twenty six pook up podcast.
Hot we go to the retro visa. I don't know
how you what your taste is on that, but anyway,
Benjamin stuffed. He said, cold us, you and me poker ambassadors,
just like Daniel mcgrano.
Speaker 1: Well, that's fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 2: No, I'm going to take it. I'm going to accept
that that is one hundred percent the truth.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: He also said, you know we you know, he was
saying ways kind of speaking for all the listeners that
you know, we appreciate both of us and you know,
trying to push poker forward, you know, without kind of
daily recaps every night at and godly hours, like there
is a right now three thirty seven am. But yeah,
he was very thankful and appreciative of everything we do.
So shout out to Benjamin with this that cool UNLV
wide advisor that might be the inspiration for next year podcasts.
I'm just gonna put it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know advis Well, here's
the thing, We're gonna do something different. I'm like ninety
eight percent certain I would never wear a Visor in public.
Speaker 2: I might wear Advisor to maor just you are Okay,
what do you mean? What is that happened?
Speaker 1: That's why I love you. But you're all fucking weird. Okay,
So that's just how it is. All right, you got
anything else to talk about?
Speaker 2: All right? Cool?
Speaker 1: Because it is three thirty eight am. We need to
get the f out of here, Okay. At some point
we need to still do the Australian the Australian Snack
Attack podcast. You know, we'll make that happen at some point,
but for now, that's all we got. His name is
Tim Duckworth, my name is Donnie Peters, and we will
talk to you guys. So next time, JA
