Speaker 1: he's complaining about the length of the main event. He

Speaker 1: the edit history and I have to find it and
Speaker 1: I have to put it back in there. Why don't
Speaker 1: you run us through what we got here.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about comparing flats from this year
Speaker 2: and Lassy. We touched on yesterday nine hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: three entrants in twenty twenty five versus nine hundred and
Speaker 2: fifteen today thousand and ninety six entrance thanks to a
Speaker 2: field of twenty nineteen compared to twenty twenty four. On
Speaker 2: the eight thirty one field would be seventeen forty six.
Speaker 2: That means we are trending, you would assume very far
Speaker 2: I head of all the projections everyone's been making. However,
Speaker 2: comes with a little asterix, it does, I got it.
Speaker 2: Day one B in twenty twenty four was July fourth.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Day one C in twenty twenty five will be July fourth,
Speaker 2: meaning a lot of Americans barbecue buyer works, what does
Speaker 2: he doing July fourth? Whatever?
Speaker 1: So it depends who you are. Some people might blow
Speaker 1: their fingers off.
Speaker 2: But shout out New York Giants defensive end right, Jesse Pipall, Yes, yea,
Speaker 2: who I think went to the bucks?
Speaker 1: I think he went to the bucks anyway.
Speaker 2: So the fact that we are, you know, three hundred
Speaker 2: ahead of pace last year, but we have July fourth coming.
Speaker 2: I'm actually a little worried. Are we really going to
Speaker 2: get twenty five hundred tomorrow to put us back, to
Speaker 2: keep us in line? I don't know. Yes, that's a
Speaker 2: strong yes, but either way, I just wanted to kind
Speaker 2: of touch on where we see it well. Obviously updated tomorrow,
Speaker 2: update on one D and obviously the two day two
Speaker 2: is where we can still register, but definitely ahead of pace,
Speaker 2: even with little asterisks. We kind of mentioned, you know,
Speaker 2: two hundred extras in the field already advancing and pretty
Speaker 2: much three hundred extra players in total.
Speaker 1: Men, listen, I still like my number ten thousand, six
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three. I'm in Remco, I asked him.
Speaker 1: He said, eleven thousand. Okay, who do we see today
Speaker 1: in the hallway? Batally lunkin could be twelve, could be
Speaker 1: twelve thousand at this rate. So yeah, seven hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety nine advancing from a field size of one thousand
Speaker 1: and ninety six. Michael the Grinder, Miss Rocky Grinder Grinder.

Speaker 1: a lot of big names. In one row. We had Nigranu,
Speaker 1: we had Helmuth, we had Shulman when he was still
Speaker 1: in Shulman seated with John Hennigan. Good friends somehow got
Speaker 1: the same table. Also in that section. I saw Mike Madisow,
Speaker 1: I saw Lale Marguetz, So yeah, I mean it was
Speaker 1: it was pretty packed in here. It was good today,
Speaker 1: it was it really was. Greg Merson played today. I
Speaker 1: don't know how he did, but I saw him in
Speaker 1: the other room today. He goes by the Milkman. Now
Speaker 1: he had a jersey on that said Milkman on the
Speaker 1: back of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very weird behind that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he's into You should listen to the Table one
Speaker 1: podcast with him. They'll explain it all. But for those
Speaker 1: that don't want to do that, I'll just give you
Speaker 1: the cliffs. He's gotten deep into the sports betting where sorry,
Speaker 1: sports cards world breaking, and when he goes on some
Speaker 1: streams and does some breaks, he's always drinking milks. I
Speaker 1: guess he's the milk. Today's big news from the w
Speaker 1: C main event was mister Phil Hellmuth Highway to Hellmuth
Speaker 1: as it was such deemed Tim rocking the shirt here
Speaker 1: could have been in the band, So I can you
Speaker 1: can you explain to me how this went down? Like
Speaker 1: he had music for some of it, but he couldn't
Speaker 1: have music the whole way. Yea, And it was a
Speaker 1: it was a c DC Highway to back and he
Speaker 1: was saying he so he does his whole walk in
Speaker 1: and he ends up on the feature table, right, and
Speaker 1: he gets there and he starts talking about the song
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, you know, they didn't want to
Speaker 1: pay the licensing or whatever would have cost two un
Speaker 1: a k.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I was surprised it only costs two und k. This
Speaker 1: is a c d C Highway to Hell. Is like
Speaker 1: one of the most iconic songs for like this type
Speaker 1: of rock anthem from down on. It's fantastic, and it's
Speaker 1: not like ac DC's like needs the money. So I
Speaker 1: would assume that they would just charge ultra premiums for it,
Speaker 1: you know, and be like the heck, yeah, two million
Speaker 1: go ahead licensees a song.
Speaker 2: I mean, so that's the main reason to stop on
Speaker 2: the broadcast, right, So of course, I mean I get it.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's a song.
Speaker 1: That probably probably the worst or second worst entrance I've
Speaker 1: ever seen from him. I mean, it would be the
Speaker 1: worst that that f and Darth Vader cost him. He
Speaker 1: walked in with holy crap, man, Yeah, that was that
Speaker 1: was a sixty dollars cost be quite honest, like his
Speaker 1: his main event. Entrances have severely fallen off this.
Speaker 2: Securely fixed segue rank this segment.
Speaker 1: Oh do you have it?
Speaker 2: I die?
Speaker 1: God, No, you said you were gonna bring the list,
Speaker 1: damn it. I was actually excited for a list.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, off the top of your head, what would
Speaker 2: be your favor?
Speaker 1: Not the best, but you generally is was my favorite?
Speaker 2: General? The General was good.
Speaker 1: He did this one. He did this one at w
Speaker 1: SP Europe where they like pulled him up on like
Speaker 1: a I don't even know what he was. I mean
Speaker 1: when they had when they carried him in his caesar like.
Speaker 1: That was a good one. I think it's hard to
Speaker 1: be even that nonsense where he was ripping around the
Speaker 1: parking lot.
Speaker 2: That's hard to beat that. And then you crash the
Speaker 2: NASCAR into the live post of the rear. It's tough
Speaker 2: to beat that one, to be honest. But he said
Speaker 2: some good. The boxing one, remember when he was like
Speaker 2: a UFC slash boxer. That was pretty good. There was
Speaker 2: obviously the the Gandolf gan off the White when he
Speaker 2: was all white magic. What's the one the circus The
Speaker 2: Circus Trainer, you know the Circus Trainer with with Dan
Speaker 2: Kates is the line in the cage a little bit
Speaker 2: of not not cush there. But yeah, I think Darth
Speaker 2: Vader number one worst.
Speaker 1: The one in London. He had eleven Lady Gaga impersonators
Speaker 1: kind of the song poker Face, which was the big
Speaker 1: at the time, like that was blasting. I believe that
Speaker 1: was at the Empire Casino in London. Listen this one,
Speaker 1: this one where he was dressed like Caesar on the chariot.
Speaker 1: But he's like in Leicester Square. I mean, the guy
Speaker 1: is out of control. But they've they've for all intensive
Speaker 1: persons they've sucked lately. I mean, come on, I mean
Speaker 1: he had the Darth Vader one was horrendous.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Now, the one that I think was kind of good
Speaker 1: since we moved over to Horseshoe and Paris, was when
Speaker 1: he was dressed up as the circus the ring mester. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the fact that he had Jungleman in a cage
Speaker 1: was absolutely ridiculous. I don't understand the fascination with Jungleman
Speaker 1: in this whole thing. It's very weird and like today,
Speaker 1: so he comes out, he's supposed to be this rock
Speaker 1: band he's got, He's they jack Ethel announces him as
Speaker 1: highway to Helmuth. Okay, okay, I get it so far.
Speaker 1: Then he looks like a mess. Okay, he's got his son, Phil.
Speaker 1: Helmut's the third the one that plays poker is like
Speaker 1: dressed as like in the band. Okay, Jungleman is also
Speaker 1: in the band. It's just it's just like a it's
Speaker 1: just chaos. Okay, he's got this microphone. Did you see
Speaker 1: the FN microphone?
Speaker 2: I wasn't paying much attention to them.
Speaker 1: It looked like and I said this on the broadcast,
Speaker 1: it looked like a toy that my two year old
Speaker 1: plays with at home. It was just a piece of wood,
Speaker 1: like a wooden like a wooden cylinder right of it
Speaker 1: like a stick, and then the top was like another
Speaker 1: piece of wood. It wasn't like an actual microphone, like
Speaker 1: you could have just taken any microphone and just turned
Speaker 1: it off and use that and on top of it. Okay,
Speaker 1: listen to this. That because this was all sponsored by
Speaker 1: like Bette Rivers, which he's not with, they must have
Speaker 1: painted this microphone ten minutes before he came out, because
Speaker 1: his chin was yellow afterwards, because the paint wore off
Speaker 1: on his chin. We had to have Liz God bless
Speaker 1: her soul. The great stage manager Liz come in the
Speaker 1: back ask us for paper tallers or something because Phil
Speaker 1: needed to wipe the paint off his chin. The wig
Speaker 1: he was wearing was horrendous. The whole thing was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: You couldn't even really hear the music it was.
Speaker 2: It was just it was not good.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it was not good. And I and this
Speaker 1: is not to say that I don't necessarily care. Look
Speaker 1: at that thing?
Speaker 2: What is that? What is that?
Speaker 1: Come on? I mean, I mean, Chad Holloway, what are
Speaker 1: we doing, Chad?
Speaker 2: You know Phil?
Speaker 1: What is he doing? Okay? And I'm not totally against
Speaker 1: the entrances, but can we at least make them better?
Speaker 1: I mean they're so bad. When he had that skin
Speaker 1: tight Darth Vader costume, I mean, good Christ Almighty, what
Speaker 1: the heck? O God? This one was bad. When he
Speaker 1: was p t Barnum from the Circus bad. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, this would be very simple. This is how
Speaker 1: this should work. Okay, Phil, who's always working with Maries Gondanni,
Speaker 1: because Maury's obviously leading the production on this sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: he should reach out to Maury. And also, you know,
Speaker 1: I know why this works because Phil is a poker
Speaker 1: g ambassador. Okay, so why don't you just talk to us,
Speaker 1: talk to the great guys here on the podcast. We'll
Speaker 1: involve the entire Poker Goro team, and I guarantee we
Speaker 1: will come up with extremely good entrances for you. Not
Speaker 1: this nonsense. Come on, come on, man, it's just not
Speaker 1: And again, I'm for the entrances. Do the whole thing
Speaker 1: create a circus out of the entire entrance. I get it, right.
Speaker 1: As long as you stop the tournament, we're good with it. Okay.
Speaker 1: But they just got to be better, man, they just
Speaker 1: got to be better. You have fallen off. When he
Speaker 1: walked in as that freaking general, that was a plus, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you know who had.
Speaker 2: A better entrance in Phil Hellmuth who Adam Hendricks and
Speaker 2: Elvis Presley outfit with non music? This was this was abysmal.
Speaker 2: I'm very disappointed.
Speaker 1: I mean, Elvis would be a good one, the King,
Speaker 1: you know, that would be a good one. There's there's
Speaker 1: like a million other entrances that he could have done.
Speaker 1: But this is just it's just not not that good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, but the thing is is that it was
Speaker 1: so bad that it was good in a in a
Speaker 1: weird way like it. I'm not even sure what it's
Speaker 1: supposed to do. I'm not sure what is intended to do.
Speaker 1: But if the intention is to get people watching the
Speaker 1: live stream to just freak out in the chat, then
Speaker 1: it worked. Okay, If that was the intention, then it worked.
Speaker 1: Because it is absolutely out of control. And I will
Speaker 1: also say this, I would take Martin Cambrel and his
Speaker 1: antics ten times out of ten over Phil Helmby stuff
Speaker 1: that we hear, because then he sits down and you
Speaker 1: just got to listen to him talk about this new
Speaker 1: water company he literally had. Did you see the water?
Speaker 1: The water we did the whole thing on here. He
Speaker 1: shows up with the water company, he has him bring
Speaker 1: all the bottles up on stage, and he's talking about
Speaker 1: how he just signed some deal with them, is the
Speaker 1: best tasting water he's ever had. He used to drink
Speaker 1: water out of plastic. Now he drinks his pathwater, which
Speaker 1: is out of an illuminum can. And it's like this
Speaker 1: whole thing. I mean, I'm just like this guy. I
Speaker 1: can't listen to that. At least give me not like
Speaker 1: that Casino Royale all day, the hippo going across the table.
Speaker 1: I'll take that right. So anyway, Phil, then he plays
Speaker 1: like three hands. The first hand he plays, he raises
Speaker 1: with six three suited. God knows why. Anyway, he ends
Speaker 1: up leaving what we thought was to go change, but
Speaker 1: then he came back wearing the same stuff that he
Speaker 1: had on the stupid wig, the leather pants, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And then we eventually moved him off the feature table
Speaker 1: and we cut out to him in the field for
Speaker 1: some check ins, and he's wearing his normal stuff. But
Speaker 1: then he was also like head on the ground, tire
Speaker 1: or on the table, tired, sleeping in between hands. It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: you don't need to do this crazy interest stuff if
Speaker 1: you're just so tired all the time. You can also
Speaker 1: register on date, so you could also do that. You
Speaker 1: could also, you know, not pound M and m's at
Speaker 1: the feature table, which he was doing. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: just not that's not going to be good for your
Speaker 1: your the sugar levels, like you're gonna come crashing down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and he still put I think around ninety
Speaker 1: K in the bag, so I mean whatever, but it's
Speaker 1: just it's it's just ridiculous. I have no words for it.
Speaker 1: We were in the booth with Jared blessnik Remco and
Speaker 1: Jared was at a loss for words and absolutely loss
Speaker 1: for words. We also had Danie and granduw up on
Speaker 1: the feature table. He had some complaining to do. Were
Speaker 1: you involved in that? I know you were involved in Cabrel,
Speaker 1: so were you involved in this one?
Speaker 2: Didn't hear anything about it?
Speaker 1: Oh, he was complaining about how hot it was up there, Daniel.
Speaker 1: But I also think that I feel like the air
Speaker 1: conditioning they like turned it down in here, or it's
Speaker 1: just the fact that if you are playing.
Speaker 2: The main event here that way, it is freezing.
Speaker 1: Call I understand, but it's it's like very it's in
Speaker 1: these like it's like directly under the vents, you know,
Speaker 1: you go anywhere else it's like warm.
Speaker 2: Three days ago, Daniel complained about being two cold where
Speaker 2: he was sitting. No, it's also wearing seventeen layers out
Speaker 2: there in the middle of the God he did take
Speaker 2: all that stuff off, and I'm signing it's not it's
Speaker 2: not listening. That fault you you got, but at one
Speaker 2: time take over there and you've got the Sahara over here.
Speaker 1: At one point he said, he said whoever's whoever's listening
Speaker 1: out there. I do not want to be on the features.
Speaker 1: He's like yelling to us in the back in production. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he put some chips in the bag as well. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of days off and Jared Buzznik
Speaker 1: talked about it on stream. But he has a bunch
Speaker 1: of bets on Daniel Legran who he is super super
Speaker 1: bullish on Daniel Legran who in this uh, in this
Speaker 1: main event. He's got all kinds of bets, like various
Speaker 1: head to heads, bets, must cash last longers, you know,
Speaker 1: all this sort of stuff. It totals around three hundred K,
Speaker 1: he said. One of the bets he said he has
Speaker 1: with Jesse lonis I believe it's like the last longer,
Speaker 1: most fancy points or something. I don't know. But he's
Speaker 1: got basically Daniel versus Jesse, so that that's a big one.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't name who the other ones are with, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a ton of money. And then he found
Speaker 1: out on stream that Daniel was drinking wine and he
Speaker 1: was gonna lose his mind. He's gonna lose his mind.
Speaker 1: He's like, I would have never bet, well, this whole thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just Jared's incredible, absolutely incredible. What
Speaker 1: do you got from the main event?
Speaker 2: Honestly didn't pay that much attention to it today came
Speaker 2: a little what were you doing? I was writing a
Speaker 2: couple of winners stories, doing that kind of stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: the actual work behind the scenes that no one cares about.
Speaker 1: So you couldn't pay attention to the main event.
Speaker 2: Really, it didn't watch actually any of it. I was
Speaker 2: doing all the work.
Speaker 1: You can put the stream on, man, like you can't,
Speaker 1: you can't. You just the lack of investment is insulting.
Speaker 2: It's just it is actually insulting. I'll be back on
Speaker 2: for one says insulting incredibly. I wasn't a big fan
Speaker 2: of the commentary team today.
Speaker 1: Either, was I. I mean, I don't know who were
Speaker 1: those a holes in yeah phones. I don't think I
Speaker 1: saw any like crazy bust outs today. I mean maybe
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like it's always crazy like the
Speaker 1: first day because it's it's brand new and it's here,
Speaker 1: so you know, it wasn't too wild. Do you want
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to Jesse Simon who won
Speaker 1: a giveaway from the Poker Go shop. He won the
Speaker 1: Poker gro Shop Wsby Main Event giveaway last year, and
Speaker 1: what he won was a seat, a more package, a
Speaker 1: seat plus some travel and then some cash to come
Speaker 1: out here and play in the WASP main event. I
Speaker 1: met with him today. I got them all situated. Part
Speaker 1: of because it was a Poker gro Shop giveaway. Part
Speaker 1: of his thing was five hundred dollars in merch, got
Speaker 1: them all hooked up with all these hoodies and everything.
Speaker 1: So we did that this morning and let me just
Speaker 1: look up, let me see.
Speaker 2: I definitely back because he pasted me off the bagging
Speaker 2: and said, love the podcast.
Speaker 1: Love the podcast. Let's freaking go Jesse baby. If you
Speaker 1: want to learn more about Jesse's story, it's actually a
Speaker 1: pretty a cool one, heartfelt one. You can go to
Speaker 1: PGT dot com. We have a story up on there.
Speaker 1: That story was written by the Great Sean Chaffin for
Speaker 1: us on PGT dot com. Again, that's Jesse Simon and
Speaker 1: the gist of it is is that he found out
Speaker 1: his mom had cancer on the same day that I
Speaker 1: contacted him that he won the prize. How crazy is that?
Speaker 1: Earlier in the day he finds out his mom has cancer.
Speaker 1: Then he gets an email from me that says, you
Speaker 1: just won this prize. He's a little skeptical of it, right,
Speaker 1: because you know, you shoot these emails of it, and
Speaker 1: I'm also kind of skeptical myself, like, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sending these out and I'm like, no one's gonna believe
Speaker 1: these damn things. But I in them. I put my
Speaker 1: phone number. I said, hey, you know, if there's any
Speaker 1: question on the legitimacy, you are free to give me
Speaker 1: a call. He calls me, boom said, he immediately recognized
Speaker 1: my voice and bam. So yeah, So he's out here
Speaker 1: and he's doing the thing, and actually during the main event,
Speaker 1: Jeff Platt caught up with him. So why don't we
Speaker 1: just replay that interview now if you missed it in
Speaker 1: the stream. So we'll throw to that one right now.
Speaker 1: And this is Jeff Platt talking with Jesse Simon.
Speaker 4: So you get the call that says, hey, you're playing
Speaker 4: the main then what runs through your mind?
Speaker 3: Well, it was a really incredible day because on that day,
Speaker 3: that same day, I had discovered that my mom had cancer.
Speaker 3: Actually I wasn't it wasn't confirmed that she had cancer,
Speaker 3: but I knew that she was in she wasn't doing
Speaker 3: very well at all, and that it was going to
Speaker 3: be a very difficult year ahead of us. And so
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there opening the email and there's Donnie, you know,
Speaker 3: talking to me saying.
Speaker 2: This is not a scam.
Speaker 3: This is not a scam, you know, if you really
Speaker 3: just you know, here's my cell phone number. But I
Speaker 3: still sent it to my wife and she was like,
Speaker 3: once you.
Speaker 4: Sit down and play your hand, we're going to keep
Speaker 4: it right here and we're gonna watch you play. I'm
Speaker 4: going to talk a little bit more about you while
Speaker 4: you do. Indeed play this hand again. The jazz drummer
Speaker 4: out of Minnesota has so many family ties to the
Speaker 4: game of poker. As you heard him start to say,
Speaker 4: was just ecstatic when he got the email from Donnie
Speaker 4: Peters telling him that he won the seat in the main. Okay,
Speaker 4: sorry to cut you off.
Speaker 3: Oh so yeah, no problem. And so I sent that,
Speaker 3: you know, I sent it over to my wife and
Speaker 3: she's like, I don't know, man, this is a little
Speaker 3: you know. So so the next day I called, I
Speaker 3: called Donnie. He left me his cell phone and he
Speaker 3: picked up the phone. I knew immediately if you had
Speaker 3: answered the phone, I wouldn't know it immediately.
Speaker 1: To Donnie's voice, Yeah, right stands out.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and it was just like, well, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 3: I haven't really won anything. I mean, it's like not
Speaker 3: like that in my life. And so just filled with
Speaker 3: gratitude and.
Speaker 2: Joy.
Speaker 3: And my mom is doing great. He's uh, she's still kicking.
Speaker 3: And spent the whole year you know, studying up I
Speaker 3: you know, joined uh uh chip Leader Coaching and which
Speaker 3: we're we we met informally there and yeah, and just
Speaker 3: really just just filled with gratitude and and hope and
Speaker 3: having a wonderful time enjoying every single moment.
Speaker 1: What has this experience been like so far?
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's just an absolute dream for me. It's
Speaker 3: like the poker is so pure and so real, and
Speaker 3: the structure usually with quick structures, which is what we're
Speaker 3: used to, you know, like you know, twenty minute blinds,
Speaker 3: thirty minute blinds, you know, you start with fifteen thousan
Speaker 3: twenty thousand whatever. Really being able to sit back and
Speaker 3: just enjoy and just really kind of calmly it's it's

Speaker 1: hundred k p LO high Roller, his seventh WSP Gold
Speaker 1: Bracelets twice his previous highest score. He won almost three
Speaker 1: million dollars. His previous seven bracelets were.
Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen ten K pop limonholdem Championship Bang Transred eight
Speaker 2: K twenty sixteen fifteen hundred and seven cards third, one
Speaker 2: hundred eleven K twenty eighteen he won two twenty five
Speaker 2: KPLO Hirolla one point four million, his previous highest score,
Speaker 2: and then right at the end of the series he
Speaker 2: won the ten K six Backs Championship eight hundred K
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, twenty five KPO Hirolla again one point
Speaker 2: two million dollars twenty twenty three to fifteen hundred eight
Speaker 2: game makes one hundred ninety eight K and then obviously
Speaker 2: number seven here eleven years it took Sean to go
Speaker 2: over winning He's first to winning his seventh which is
Speaker 2: essentially tied for second quickest behind Johnny Moss and Phil
Speaker 2: Ivey's tied with Benny Glasser there on eleven years. Most
Speaker 2: importantly two years fast than Phil helm And after Sean
Speaker 2: Juan he walked past Phil and he said, eleven water
Speaker 2: go eleven.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Well, he's he's on pace, very true.
Speaker 1: I mean, if he if he can keep up the volume. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, listen, the volume can can wear on you.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like there might be one summer deep
Speaker 1: just kind of wakes up and is like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, but you know, we'll see. And
Speaker 1: if he does keep it up, I would say he's
Speaker 1: got a very very good chance.
Speaker 2: Of catching up. Also, we've touched on this many times.
Speaker 2: Get a second, get a second, you hat a third?
Speaker 2: He could have four bracelets like he is that literally
Speaker 2: that close to winning a bracelet earlier in the summer,
Speaker 2: multiple times. But he gets his seventh here he joins
Speaker 2: a long list of you know, we kind of touched
Speaker 2: on it last week about you know, the year of seven.
Speaker 2: You didn't really like that one. But I think the
Speaker 2: most important thing about Deep is that he's now on
Speaker 2: top WSP player of the rankings. Whenever they get updated
Speaker 2: or refresh by the robots there, he will be ahead.
Speaker 1: Of They're it's definitely not getting updated by robots, Well,
Speaker 1: it's whoever it is. It's getting updated by what's that
Speaker 1: the Pony Express?
Speaker 2: What's that you? I know you've watched the show because
Speaker 2: you have kids with the with the slow d m
Speaker 2: V sloth. Everyone at home, he knows exactly what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 1: This slow DMP slow DMV sloth.
Speaker 2: Like a meme. This one onto Yia.
Speaker 1: Well you said, oh so you movie, same movie.
Speaker 2: That's the slot is the person play with no offense.
Speaker 2: If you're a person listening.
Speaker 1: No offense, offense like offense like come on, he.
Speaker 2: Moves, he moves the top. And what's important about the
Speaker 2: Player of the Year For him, he's already won at
Speaker 2: once twenty eighteen, and he has said numerous times that
Speaker 2: he wants to win it twice and then three times,
Speaker 2: because you know the guy, he's He's chasing two people
Speaker 2: in this poker world. He's chasing Phil Helmless WSOP bracelet
Speaker 2: record and he's chasing Daniel o'griander's Player of the Year record,
Speaker 2: which is two two thousand and four twenty thirteen for
Speaker 2: Daniel deeb. Obviously, you know he's got a chance here,
Speaker 2: and I believe he told Poker News that he might
Speaker 2: even just skip the main event, which seems kind of crazy,
Speaker 2: but for player in her career, you know considerations, if
Speaker 2: that's his goal and not winning ten million dollars, then
Speaker 2: it does make a lot of sense. What are your
Speaker 2: thoughts on that?
Speaker 1: So I talked with Dee about this thing before the
Speaker 1: final table started. I mean, it wasn't necessarily about Deep.
Speaker 1: It was actually it was originally about Hellmuth. And what
Speaker 1: we were talking about was, you know, Deep is close
Speaker 1: with Hellmuth and he's actually had conversations with Hellmuth. Because
Speaker 1: listen to this about Sean Deep. He actually bet that
Speaker 1: that Hellmuth would not play the main event. He bet
Speaker 1: ten k that has to be the worst bet in
Speaker 1: the history of mankind. It is because he was always playing.
Speaker 1: And I said that to Sean and he tried to
Speaker 1: He tried to justify his thinking by saying that he's
Speaker 1: had conversations with Hellmuth where they've kind of both decided
Speaker 1: that Hellmuth should not play the main event, and the
Speaker 1: reason is because Hellmuth values bracelets above everything else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you play that VISP main event and you get
Speaker 1: stuck in it, you could be stuck for a week
Speaker 1: and a half to two weeks. Now, yes, if you
Speaker 1: get stuck that long, it does come with a lot
Speaker 1: of money. But let's say he makes Day eight, the
Speaker 1: final three tables and busting twentieth place. I mean, you
Speaker 1: you had you probably missed twenty events, twenty five events.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you win two three hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: but for Helmuth, that's not what it's about. It's about
Speaker 1: the bracelets. And then that was the same sort of
Speaker 1: thing where he said he said, you know, Scott Severer
Speaker 1: didn't play the main event last year because he couldn't
Speaker 1: get the volume in because he was chasing Player of
Speaker 1: the Year. So he skipped the main event last year,
Speaker 1: did sever and was just playing all the other bracelet tournaments.
Speaker 1: So that's where it comes from with Deep, is that
Speaker 1: he can't get the volume in if he plays the
Speaker 1: main event, so he's gonna play the other stuff. And
Speaker 1: as it pertains specifically to the WSB Player of the Year,
Speaker 1: just like if you go super deep, you know, if
Speaker 1: you go to Day seven or eight or whatever, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you make a couple hundred, few hundred thousand dollars for
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. You make how many points do
Speaker 1: you get for that fifty? It doesn't matter. Like it's
Speaker 1: very top heavy, right, So he'd rather go play all
Speaker 1: these other tournaments, and he said he's going to be
Speaker 1: multi tabling the crap out of them. So I think
Speaker 1: that's probably what he's gonna do.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a chance he like Max late reds the
Speaker 1: main and just like blasted off, like and just try
Speaker 1: and run up, like you know, go from go from
Speaker 1: sixty to two million in one day. I something ridiculous. Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you mean why is it not possible two million?
Speaker 1: What if he went what if he bought in Max
Speaker 1: late and literally went all in every hand and did
Speaker 1: not lose? I mean it could happen, like, I mean,
Speaker 1: like sure, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mathematically it could happen.
Speaker 1: Well because at because at that time, if you when
Speaker 1: you buy in then like because people are finishing. We
Speaker 1: just said Grinder finished with three hundred k, Like people
Speaker 1: are gonna have two to three hundred thousand chips. If
Speaker 1: you buy in at Max late Red, you're already a
Speaker 1: couples in a couple levels in, so people are gonna
Speaker 1: have four hundred to five hundred thousand chips. So if
Speaker 1: Deep gets a couple of double ups, if he goes
Speaker 1: from sixty to one to twenty to forty, right, then
Speaker 1: he gets in a pot with somebody who has four hundred, right,
Speaker 1: then he's at four eighty booms, he'd easily get to
Speaker 1: two million. Okay, I'm obviously, but you have you would
Speaker 1: have to play the style like that. I'm thinking like
Speaker 1: if he's gonna like just blast off in the main event.
Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm saying this is that maybe
Speaker 1: he does that, runs it up to you know, two
Speaker 1: million or whatever whatever the big number is, and then
Speaker 1: he goes and f's off and plays the other stuff
Speaker 1: and just basically lets himself blind out because then maybe
Speaker 1: he can come back like literally three days later. But
Speaker 1: he could also be like, I'm gonna come back three
Speaker 1: days later, like if I'm stuck in these other tournaments
Speaker 1: multi tabling in the other room, then I'll just come back,
Speaker 1: you know, two three days later. Not a big deal.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I think it is legitimate that
Speaker 1: he could skip it. I was in commentary, but the
Speaker 1: great Antonio Abrego did an interview with Sean Deeves. So
Speaker 1: let's throw to that right now, and then we'll come
Speaker 1: on back on the other side.
Speaker 5: To end up first place. When you know, I was
Speaker 5: down and out in some times, I just kept battling.
Speaker 5: I kept playing my cards. You know, I ran like
Speaker 5: god heads up versus, I got them super short and
Speaker 5: then lost flip. Then he got it back, and then
Speaker 5: you know, we basically flipped with overpair of flush trovers
Speaker 5: top hair. So it was beautiful. It's crazy to play
Speaker 5: heads up for a million dollars but not feel like
Speaker 5: it because we have two million locked up, like you're
Speaker 5: already like sweet, I'm free rolling, So the stakes didn't
Speaker 5: matter to me as much as they would, you know,
Speaker 5: possibly some other time. You know, I was against nothing
Speaker 5: but ethical class class acts, and you know, I may
Speaker 5: have over celebrated a little much, so I probably should
Speaker 5: apologize some of those guys. But I had a great rail.
Speaker 5: I was pumped up, the adrenalines going, and I just
Speaker 5: like felt like it was destiny. Every time I was
Speaker 5: all in, I didn't feel like I was gonna lose.
Speaker 5: So it's kind of a crazy feeling right now. The
Speaker 5: goal is POY, so winning bracelets helps with POY, so
Speaker 5: it's kind of mutually exclusive. I don't think I'm going
Speaker 5: to be making big folds in the bubble in any
Speaker 5: of the remaining tournaments, so I'm going to be chip
Speaker 5: leader out of a lot of bullets, and that's kind
Speaker 5: of fun. And yeah, I'm just you know, you always
Speaker 5: come out here in the summer and hope it's going
Speaker 5: to go well, and I had a super hot start.
Speaker 5: Usually I don't do too well early on, and then
Speaker 5: I had a little lull, and then Michael Monchak forced
Speaker 5: me to take a day off. We went to go
Speaker 5: see Shakira O the enough Martin Caprilla was also there.
Speaker 2: I hate music.
Speaker 5: I hated the concert, but it was good to just
Speaker 5: drink and hang out with some people, you know, and
Speaker 5: some people I'm not. I don't see as often, so
Speaker 5: I had a great time with them. So I'm giving
Speaker 5: Mike a little partial credit for this win, for resetting
Speaker 5: the body. They've been doing it for so much longer
Speaker 5: than me. I think it's such a compliment being the conversation.
Speaker 5: You know, treat Ivy, Helme and Nigrano as friends, you know,
Speaker 5: obviously when Doyle was alive as well. It's amazing, you know,
Speaker 5: growing up watching poker on TV and seeing all those
Speaker 5: guys and now they come over to congratulate me, and
Speaker 5: they were all on first name base.
Speaker 1: I have all the numbers in my phone.
Speaker 5: It's amazing how inclusive poker is. Even you know, when
Speaker 5: I've had problems with some of those guys in the
Speaker 5: past or other people, a lot of times we can
Speaker 5: get past it. And I think that shows the maturity
Speaker 5: and intelligence of this community, and you know, I think
Speaker 5: we at some point, we all get old enough we
Speaker 5: realize if someone's not only to screw you over, they're
Speaker 5: probably a good friend to keep around. And I surround
Speaker 5: myself with so many of those people in this industry,
Speaker 5: and they're all there for me if I ever need
Speaker 5: a favor, if my wife ever needs anything. You can't
Speaker 5: beat the friendships I made. I literally met my wife.
Speaker 5: We've got my two kids because of poker. So I
Speaker 5: owe everything this industry. I will always battle for poker
Speaker 5: and do what's right for it, even if it hurts
Speaker 5: my own bottom line. I will just protect this industry
Speaker 5: the best I can for my whole career. The legacy
Speaker 5: I try to leave behind, I hope you know when
Speaker 5: I pass on my kids and my grandkids, if I
Speaker 5: have them, we'll say this, and I was honorable, trustworthy, ethical,
Speaker 5: I put the industry before my own self interests, and
Speaker 5: I've tried to do whatever I can to help out
Speaker 5: poker and poker sites in different ways. I just will
Speaker 5: do everything every day in my life to help poker
Speaker 5: because it's giving me everything. It's given me immense wealth
Speaker 5: and men's success and men's fame. Amazing family, amazing friends,
Speaker 5: and yeah, it's just it's days like today that you
Speaker 5: are really happy that you're still in poker. You know.
Speaker 5: I want to be known as being brutally honest, being
Speaker 5: a good needler, being ethical, being a great player at
Speaker 5: all the games, and just being willing to show every day.
Speaker 5: I try to lead by example, and I think that
Speaker 5: all players will be so much happier and have better
Speaker 5: results if they're willing to just play whatever's profitable up next.
Speaker 5: And I know a lot of people don't have a
Speaker 5: physical stamina or the mental stammer that I have, and
Speaker 5: I know I'm kind of unique in that, but there's
Speaker 5: some people who are really fucking close to.
Speaker 1: Me when it comes to that shit. All right, that
Speaker 1: was Sean Deep and and you heard him in the interview.
Speaker 1: You heard him say it again, it's poy or bust.
Speaker 1: It is poy or bust. So we'll see how that
Speaker 1: plays out. It's it's going to be a very interesting race.
Speaker 2: Now we have.
Speaker 1: Sean Deep, we have Martin Cabrell, we have Benny Glauser,
Speaker 1: and we have Scott Bowman. I think those are like
Speaker 1: the four favorites, right yep, Sean Dee no one's going
Speaker 1: to be Shawnde even the volume. Now you can say that, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe Benny Glausser is a better player when it comes
Speaker 1: to some of these big buy in mixed tournaments. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's fine. But you know, maybe d makes up
Speaker 1: for it in the volume.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's it's just gonna be very interesting to see
Speaker 1: how it all plays out. You know Cabrel, Right, he's
Speaker 1: obviously very good when it comes to big bet stuff,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't play any of the mix. Now, he
Speaker 1: was playing the ten K eight game today, but he
Speaker 1: was he hopped in there, So I mean confirm that
Speaker 1: for me, go to Poker News and confirmed. I'm ninety
Speaker 1: five certain that he was. He hopped in there, which
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense because you know he can play,
Speaker 1: you know, Nolan, Maan Holdham and PLO are in there,
Speaker 1: so he can play. Yeah, see so, and I wonder
Speaker 1: if that's simply a result of the fact that he
Speaker 1: is in the running for Player of the Year, right,
Speaker 1: just like we saw a couple of years ago, we
Speaker 1: saw Dan Zach all of a sudden sell for the
Speaker 1: two fifty k. He's like, I got to play it,
Speaker 1: you know, POI is on the line, Let's go. So
Speaker 1: you start to see these people chase and do things
Speaker 1: that are outside of their normal wheelhouse, which is fine,
Speaker 1: but for someone like Sean Deeve, it's all within his wheelhouse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I would say that deb is now the favorite,
Speaker 1: which is pretty crazy. So we'll see how that thing goes.
Speaker 1: A lot of big events coming up. Also, as it
Speaker 1: pertains to Martin Cabrell, we know he's not skipping the
Speaker 1: main event because he already played it. He already bagged, right,
Speaker 1: so he's not going to take that approach. And I
Speaker 1: would never expect Martin Cabrell specifically to skip the mind event,
Speaker 1: but he would never ever ever even entertain the idea
Speaker 1: like Sean Deev is you know, seriously considering it. So
Speaker 1: Hunter k PLO high Roller almost three million dollars for
Speaker 1: Shan Divs seventh Gold Braces beat Isaac Hackson and Heads
Speaker 1: Up Play one point nine to seven two million for Hackson,
Speaker 1: Arthur Morris Your Boy, Yeah, one point three million for
Speaker 1: third place, Latarro Guera the PLO God nine hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy six k little Bit of e Motion Latara when
Speaker 1: he busted got his money and really really good, got
Speaker 1: drawn out on and just kind of head sunk down,
Speaker 1: kind of into his chest like you could tell, like, man,
Speaker 1: that was the one we lost. Phil Ivy fifth place,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifteen k, Alex Foxton before him, Sean
Speaker 1: Raphael before him. So that is the one hundred k
Speaker 1: p l O high Roller in the ten K Stud
Speaker 1: High Low Championship Inghai Pond wins it all. His third
Speaker 1: wslpgo bracelet. This one had one hundred and eighty six entries,
Speaker 1: pawn one four hundred and eleven one thousand dollars. Previously
Speaker 1: won two online events that's like complete other side of
Speaker 1: the spectrum. Then ten K stud High Low.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two small and I live and hold him events
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three, one for
Speaker 2: thirty six k, the other for forty two thousand. I
Speaker 2: didn't even know you'd won those. So so this was
Speaker 2: actually his first bracelet.
Speaker 1: And then I rolled the whole recap. That was then
Speaker 1: you were, oh, wait, damn, you know I.
Speaker 2: Always I did the start check before I started, and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, of course, okay, three bracelets. Cool,
Speaker 2: but yeah, he gets the victory. They came back today
Speaker 2: four players left, King Japan, David Lee, Luke Schwartz, andre
Speaker 2: A ziglov Zigglove out first, one hundred and thirty two thousand,
Speaker 2: Luke Swartz out in third place, one hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: eight K, David Lynn runner up, two hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: four thousand dollars, and Pam takes his third bracelet and
Speaker 2: four hundred and eleven K. That's also four hundred and
Speaker 2: eleven points. That is so thanks for what PGT leaderboards.
Speaker 2: Qualifying for the PGT Million Dollar Championship for him four
Speaker 2: hundred is going to be very short, especially with no
Speaker 2: more mixed games, no more mixed series coming. The big
Speaker 2: movers and shakers obviously came in the Hunter kplow Let's
Speaker 2: start at a tob Sean deep rockets up to thirteenth
Speaker 2: place on the PGT leader board nine hundred and ninety
Speaker 2: five points, so I would say he's nearly a lock
Speaker 2: to be in the PGT Million Dollars Championship. Isaac Hackson
Speaker 2: runner up finished now up to twentieth eight hundred ninety
Speaker 2: nine points. Arthur Morris thirty ninth, just in there right now.
Speaker 2: The Tara Guerrera up to thirty seventh place, Phil IV
Speaker 2: sixty third. Alex Foxon extends his lead on top. He
Speaker 2: creeps over the two thousand point mark, so he's really
Speaker 2: not running away with it, but he is. You know,
Speaker 2: we've seen previous leaders drop a little bit. Alex is
Speaker 2: just getting points NonStop and ascending forward. He's three hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty five points ahead of Nick Shulman, so that
Speaker 2: is a lot of points. Nick Shrman also cashing this vent.
Speaker 2: He finished twelfth, Sean Raphael sixteenth on the PGT leader
Speaker 2: you might have expected that, but got a couple of
Speaker 2: PLO results, you know, throughout the year on the tour,
Speaker 2: and he's up to nine hundred and sixty one points.
Speaker 2: And finally Ben Lamb eighth place finisher, he's twenty third.
Speaker 2: So literally everyone that final table this event is either
Speaker 2: in or like on the cusp of being in the
Speaker 2: top forty to qualify for the PGT Million dollars Championship.
Speaker 2: So massive movements there from a massive shout out, massive
Speaker 2: from all these players. Deep especially you know, he hasn't
Speaker 2: played it, has never qualified. He's basically got you know,
Speaker 2: one foot in the door pretty comfortably. So for him,
Speaker 2: does that mean we're going to see him at a
Speaker 2: PLO series, you know, to try and get some extra points,
Speaker 2: get more chips, especially you know, fresh off a two
Speaker 2: point nine million dollar victory.
Speaker 1: I means still a lot of big events to go
Speaker 1: that I mean obviously the main event too that have
Speaker 1: to do with the PGT leaderboard. So it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a fun sweat to see how things shake up heading
Speaker 1: into the second half of the PGT season. The six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars Poker News Deep Sack is down to the
Speaker 1: final six. Daniel Shill is still doing it.
Speaker 2: He is crushing it.
Speaker 1: He was the chip leader coming into today, we're coming
Speaker 1: into yesterday, and now he's the chip leader coming into today.
Speaker 1: He's got forty one million. Naraman Amadi second place, thirty
Speaker 1: six point two million, ron Cador thirty one point three million,
Speaker 1: Jason Lee twenty three point five million, Nicholas Goddard twenty
Speaker 1: three point two million, and Fourge Domingaz fifteen point six million.
Speaker 1: These final six players are guaranteed sixty four thousand, four
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and they are planned for three hundred and
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars up top. They came from a field
Speaker 1: of five thousand, six hundred and sixty seven. So we'll
Speaker 1: check back in on this one and wrap it up
Speaker 1: after it ends. On the next episode. Thirteen players remain
Speaker 1: in the ten K eight game. It is approaching the

Speaker 1: Power steering belt is just fucking everywhere. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, So the fucking power steering belt just
Speaker 1: went fucking just like exploded. So that was great, but
Speaker 1: there was like one thread of it because I still
Speaker 1: had power steering because I've the power steering has gone
Speaker 1: out before in that car, like due to fluid or whatever,
Speaker 1: and I've had to you know, obviously it's very hard
Speaker 1: to turn then, but I didn't feel that, so I
