Speaker 1: the winner in those tonight, so Tim and I are
Speaker 1: recording early. We'll touch on that, we'll see where they're at,
Speaker 1: and then we'll wrap them up on the next episode

Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Benny Glaser baby winning number two and number seven if
Speaker 1: you can believe it. The reason why I say it
Speaker 1: like that is because he won the second gold bracelet
Speaker 1: for his summer here in twenty twenty five, and it's
Speaker 1: only what nine days in crazy his seventh career WSP
Speaker 1: gold bracelet. He won the fifteen hundred dollars Mixed Omaha
Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars, a big field,
Speaker 1: twelve hundred and thirty nine entries in that one Glazer
Speaker 1: Glaser came into the final day three players remaining. He
Speaker 1: had the big lead. He ended up closing it out.
Speaker 1: He's got two cashes on the summer and they're both wins.
Speaker 1: He won the fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice and then
Speaker 1: the next tournament that he played was the fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars Mixed Omaha and he won that. So Benny Glaser
Speaker 1: hasn't lost a tournament in six days. Bet, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just absolutely incredible stuff, right, first two times bracelet
Speaker 1: winner here in twenty twenty five. He has seven career bracelets.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, after he won it, he was nice
Speaker 1: enough to come meet up with you on the main
Speaker 1: stage and chat for quite a bit, a fairly lengthy interview.
Speaker 1: So let's go to that interview with Tim and Benny
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Benny Glaza, congratulations, seven time WSSP bracelet winner. Noway, one
Speaker 2: thing I want to talk to you about first is
Speaker 2: that there's a big streak here at the WSP players
Speaker 2: winning two bracelets stretching back to two thousand and now
Speaker 2: you have continued that twenty six seas in a row
Speaker 2: after you won your first one this week. Was that
Speaker 2: something immediately on your mind? You want to win a
Speaker 2: second bracelet and a fourth this series?
Speaker 3: It was on my mind. Yeah, I had agreed essentially
Speaker 3: infinite messages also just putting it in my mind, just
Speaker 3: being like, we see another bracelet for you this series
Speaker 3: as well, and you know, for going for three, it's
Speaker 3: obviously like a stretch of a goal, but it's absolutely
Speaker 3: been on my mind. I was really looking forward to
Speaker 3: coming in for a big summer this time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: There's only two players in the history of the WSP
Speaker 2: that have won seven braces bicker them Johnny Mass and
Speaker 2: Phil Ivy. You know, is that these kind of like
Speaker 2: records that and history.
Speaker 4: In the WSP. Is that stuff that you care about?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so, Like there are one or two records.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I have, like am I the
Speaker 3: quickest ever double bracelet in a year for example, yeah?
Speaker 3: Or if I yeah, or maybe the only person to
Speaker 3: get back to back twice, Like these are things that
Speaker 3: I think are just incredible achievements that yeah, I'm just
Speaker 3: proud of.
Speaker 2: It's amazing.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people know you as a
Speaker 4: mixed game player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how important is it to you to win games
Speaker 2: in multiple variants? Not just you know all in horse
Speaker 2: or all inside, but you you have brasus in four games,
Speaker 2: you have to seven, you have omaha, hi, Low, you
Speaker 2: have the other choice?
Speaker 4: How important that to you? Is your you know, your
Speaker 4: poker resume.
Speaker 3: I like to think it adds credibility to me as
Speaker 3: an overall poker player, which is something I definitely strike
Speaker 3: for just to be a well or rounded player. And yeah,
Speaker 3: it's important, and it's very useful for the World Series
Speaker 3: when I can potentially jump into any event and have
Speaker 3: the potential for a bracelet, Like if there's any event
Speaker 3: like we do you today, I feel like, oh that
Speaker 3: has a chance of Yeah, me wondering.
Speaker 2: Yet you have two and two braces seven, You have
Speaker 2: two in omahah Low, And I guess you can kind
Speaker 2: of call this as a third or you know, be
Speaker 2: two thirds high Low.
Speaker 4: What is your best game when it comes to the
Speaker 4: mixed games?
Speaker 3: I think generally my best game is limit Await. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's close, but I think that's the one that I
Speaker 3: normally considers my best.
Speaker 2: We talked about, you know, your impressive from resume on
Speaker 2: the Poko podcast the other day. Yeah, we kind of thought,
Speaker 2: you know, Benny's following his path of phil ivey. You know,
Speaker 2: eleven bracelets in eight different variants, but no no limit
Speaker 2: hold embracelets. Is that something that like you care about
Speaker 2: or is it just you know, bracelet is a bracelet
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 3: I mean I would like to win a no limit bracelet.
Speaker 3: I think that would also be very cool. But just
Speaker 3: the reality is I prioritize mixed so much more during
Speaker 3: the summer that I'm probably only paying five, maybe six
Speaker 3: no limit events throughout the whole summer, So it's just
Speaker 3: much more likely I'm going to win a mixed bracelet
Speaker 3: during the summer. But yeah, I think a no limit
Speaker 3: hold embracer would also be very cool.
Speaker 2: I want to kind of talk a little bit about
Speaker 2: young your legacy as a poker player.
Speaker 4: You're not forty yet. It's coming twenty twenty nine, you'll
Speaker 4: be eligible for the Poker.
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: I believe in a few names that are also eligible.
Speaker 2: That year you got pads Stephen Chidwick got Doug Poking
Speaker 2: at Dance Smith.
Speaker 4: Now, obviously, right now the Hall of Fame is just
Speaker 4: one person in.
Speaker 2: But for something for you? Is that something you're really
Speaker 2: striving for? I want to know stamp my name in
Speaker 2: the history book, and I want to be a first
Speaker 2: ballot straining.
Speaker 4: A whole time.
Speaker 3: That would be something that's very cool. Like that achievement
Speaker 3: is something I'm aiming for and would be very proud of.
Speaker 3: That was a very strong list of names. I don't
Speaker 3: know about that. I don't know about the first ballot.
Speaker 3: That would be very cool. That's going to be a
Speaker 3: tough year, I guess, but yeah, it's something I would
Speaker 3: aim for and be incredibly proud of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when the dust settles on your POPA three, hopefully
Speaker 2: it's not for another forty fifteen years from here. What
Speaker 2: do you want people to like look back on as
Speaker 2: as Benny the Poper play?
Speaker 4: What do you want your legacy to be?
Speaker 2: Strong?
Speaker 3: Question? I mean, firstly just ability. I guess I would
Speaker 3: like to think people think I'm good for was very good.
Speaker 3: And then I guess the question is how much this
Speaker 3: personality come in to I want people to think I
Speaker 3: was maybe gracious or whatever, like in the ways I'm
Speaker 3: winning or the ways I'm playing. There's a few things
Speaker 3: like that that would nice, you know, just being a
Speaker 3: good human hopefully as well. Things like that would be
Speaker 3: nice to be thought of in that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't busted the tournament in six days. I
Speaker 2: believe we've got a fifteen hundred doogie up next. You're
Speaker 2: probably gonna maybe get some dinner and see if you
Speaker 2: can make that nine days without being a limited eliminated.
Speaker 2: But congratulations, seven time WSP bracelet winner Benny Blasa.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much man.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: That was Benny Glauser, moments after he secured his seventh
Speaker 1: career gold bracelet. All of his bracelets are in mixed games,
Speaker 1: as you touched upon in that interview with him. What
Speaker 1: does that say about where he ranks among I mean
Speaker 1: two really two things. One among the great mixed game
Speaker 1: players and then the other thing is among the great
Speaker 1: WSOP players. Because there are very few people that have
Speaker 1: seven or more bracelets.
Speaker 2: So what do you think? Yeah, he's right up there.
Speaker 2: I mentioned in the interview. The person his career is
Speaker 2: kind of following in is Phil Ivy. Eleven bracelets in
Speaker 2: eight This different progravariance. You know, Benny is on track
Speaker 2: to do something similar. I mean, you know, that's kind
Speaker 2: why I'm kind of ask him about the no limit
Speaker 2: hold Him bracelet as as it comes to obviously modern players,
Speaker 2: he is, without doubt one of the best that the
Speaker 2: WSP has. The record stands, you know, seven bracelets in
Speaker 2: eleven years something like that. It's just outstanding. And you
Speaker 2: know he's going to be competing for many years to come.
Speaker 2: He's still young. He's younger than both of you and me.
Speaker 2: He's I think he's he turns thirty six or thirty
Speaker 2: seven in a couple of days, so still very very young.
Speaker 2: And I mean he's not going to stop. He's gonna
Speaker 2: he's probably going to get to ten pretty soon, I think. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's interest as you kind of compare him to
Speaker 1: Phil iuve of him. I'm saying you specifically, just in general,
Speaker 1: I think Phil has a chance to win a nolan
Speaker 1: At Hold Him bracelet more so than Benny. And the
Speaker 1: reason why I say that is Phil is for sure
Speaker 1: going to be in all the twenty five k plus
Speaker 1: nolan Ath hold Them tournaments. Now, of course those are
Speaker 1: very tough, yes, but Phil is very good at nolam
Speaker 1: A hold them and they're just smaller fields, you know,
Speaker 1: the fifty K, the hunter k, the two to fifty k,
Speaker 1: like that sort of stuff. You know, he can certainly
Speaker 1: win those where I don't think Benny is going to
Speaker 1: be playing I'll say fifty k plus. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: he dabbles in a twenty five K, especially, I would
Speaker 1: say this summer, especially because now he's obviously with these
Speaker 1: two bracelets, early the front runner for player of the year.
Speaker 1: So does he press a little bit harder similar to
Speaker 1: what we saw with dan Zach a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Dan Zach is known as a mixed game player, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he's like, I got to
Speaker 1: play this two hundred fifty K super high role because
Speaker 1: I got to get in there for a chance at
Speaker 1: the poy points.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So do we see a similar sort of thing with Benny.
Speaker 2: I don't think we see it to the same degree
Speaker 2: as dan Zach. We both saw Benny skip the twenty
Speaker 2: five K half enough, I thought the field maybe it
Speaker 2: was a little tough opted for an event where his
Speaker 2: edge is kind of greater, which was the mixed Omaha
Speaker 2: obviously paid off and I think that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: If Benny has you know, a five K no limit
Speaker 2: or fifteen hundred no limit or he has, say, you know,
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred dollars start eight, I think he's always going
Speaker 2: to go with the mixed game. He's going to lean
Speaker 2: into his strengths, which is the mixed games, any mix
Speaker 2: game we have on the schedule. But yeah, he it's
Speaker 2: it will be interesting if he can get a couple
Speaker 2: more results, a couple more cashes, and maybe another final
Speaker 2: table here and there. Maybe does he take a swing
Speaker 2: at a twenty five k or fifty k no limit
Speaker 2: holder or even plhi rolla to try and lock up
Speaker 2: player the I think that's you know, ask him about legacy.
Speaker 2: I think that's something where it would really interest him.
Speaker 2: Adding having a poy bannihanas at the time comes push,
Speaker 2: comes to shove, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if
Speaker 2: he does take a shot when needed. Now.
Speaker 1: At the twenty twenty three WSP, we saw Chad eve
Speaker 1: Sledge when Event five and Event ten both dealers Choice tournaments.
Speaker 1: He won the fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice and then
Speaker 1: won the ten K dealer's choice, so very early on
Speaker 1: for him getting two bracelets. He also, like like Benny
Speaker 1: this year, he had two cashes then they were both victories.
Speaker 1: You know that obviously kickstarted his WSP campaign in a
Speaker 1: very big way. But after those two wins, he didn't
Speaker 1: final table another live WSP event in Vegas during that summer,
Speaker 1: So you know, I just kind of use that as
Speaker 1: a jumping off point. You know, how do you think
Speaker 1: the remainder of Benny's summer is going to go. Is
Speaker 1: it going to be similar to what we saw with
Speaker 1: Chat Eve Sledge win these two early and then you know,
Speaker 1: don't get back to a final table in the future,
Speaker 1: or are we just going to see Benny continue to
Speaker 1: you know, tear this place down.
Speaker 2: You know what, I would say, that's pretty hot, pretty
Speaker 2: high high variance there for Chad not having another big
Speaker 2: result after the starting so strongly. But if you had
Speaker 2: asked him before the World Series, hey, you're going to
Speaker 2: make two final tables, win two braces Are you okay
Speaker 2: with that guarantee? He says one hundred percent. So you know,
Speaker 2: if Benny does break the rest of the series, if
Speaker 2: he can, you know, maybe.
Speaker 1: It's well it's not that Chad Brick the rest of
Speaker 1: the story, but a couple of finishes in the teams
Speaker 1: and whatever. It just didn't make it to.
Speaker 2: The final table. I think Benny would be pretty happy
Speaker 2: with this now, the fact that he started so hot,
Speaker 2: you know, two wins in two events over six days.
Speaker 2: He's probably setting the bar very high for what comes
Speaker 2: for the rest of the series. You know, like, hey,
Speaker 2: I've knocked off two and it's only June fifth. You know,
Speaker 2: where's the third bra when's the third brace that come?
Speaker 2: When's the fourth bracelet come? When's the fifth bracelet coming?
Speaker 2: You know, so you set those standards pretty high, so
Speaker 2: it would probably disappoint him if he doesn't make at
Speaker 2: least another big run at a third bracelet. Here.
Speaker 1: I want to see someone win a four bracelets and
Speaker 1: ess it never happened, you know, I really want to
Speaker 1: see that. I think Benny is one of those players
Speaker 1: who has as good of a shot as anyone just
Speaker 1: because of how good he is when it comes to
Speaker 1: playing mixed games. He's going to be in all those
Speaker 1: ten K Mixed Game Championship events, which they have anywhere
Speaker 1: from one hundred to one hundred and fifty, maybe one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five players something like that. You know,
Speaker 1: I think, well, we still have the ten k horse
Speaker 1: that's going to be a big one. We had the
Speaker 1: ten k Omaha that was, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: bigger ones. But you know the ten k stud study
Speaker 1: stuff like that, that's you know kind of like around
Speaker 1: what one twenty ish or so. He's obviously going to
Speaker 1: be in the fifty k so you know he'll he'll
Speaker 1: have as good of a chance as anyone in that event.
Speaker 2: So it's it's not even just you know the size
Speaker 2: of the fields. I want to go back to twenty
Speaker 2: fifteen when George Danze won he's three bracelets. He won
Speaker 2: two here in Vegas, one in Asia Pacific.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that third one doesn't count, it does He established
Speaker 1: that doesn't count.
Speaker 2: I'm going that's with you. Seventy nine events the entire year,
Speaker 2: seventy nine events with the entire yearlevent brace events, right
Speaker 2: when George Dan's are one, three for Benny with two already,
Speaker 2: we have one hundred live bracelet events here, we have
Speaker 2: thirty online. We're going to have fifty sixteen in Paradise.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Benny's going to be playing in the online.
Speaker 2: Sixteen, but we're gonna have sixteen in Europe. We're going
Speaker 2: to have another thirty three online in the fall, right,
Speaker 2: So we're looking at something like two hundred and forty
Speaker 2: five bracelet events versus seventy nine, basically three x thing
Speaker 2: when George Danzer won three. So you know, it's not
Speaker 2: just about the field sizes, it's also about the amount
Speaker 2: of volume Benny can put in between now and Christmas
Speaker 2: to try and win a third bracelet. Yeah, and the
Speaker 2: fourth and fifth.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, yeah, but here, I want the three
Speaker 1: or the four to happen here in the summer in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: You want the Jeff lissand or the field iv ted, you.
Speaker 1: Know, like I don't. I don't want it to extend elsewhere,
Speaker 1: you know, I just wanted to be this series, and
Speaker 1: I still think he has a great chance to do it.
Speaker 1: There are so many bracelet events left and ones that
Speaker 1: are going to be great for him to be able
Speaker 1: to get in there in Battle. I mean, it won't
Speaker 1: be easy. There's a lot of tough competition some of
Speaker 1: the events that he plays, Yes, but Benny is an
Speaker 1: absolute elite player, So you know, I look forward to
Speaker 1: to watching his quests for the rest of this summer.
Speaker 1: We have, we have so much time to go, so
Speaker 1: it's going to be a fun sweat the whole way.
Speaker 2: Another thing that.
Speaker 1: You hit on with him in the interview is the
Speaker 1: Poker Hall of Fame and what getting in would mean
Speaker 1: to him. You know, let me ask you. I know,
Speaker 1: on the interview, you were playing the interviewee, you're asking
Speaker 1: the questions, you know, but here I'm asking for your opinion.
Speaker 1: Is Benny a Poker Hall of Famer? Obviously when he's
Speaker 1: old enough, you know, when he's old enough, you know,
Speaker 1: should he get in?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Here we all to join twenty twenty nine, so
Speaker 2: a few more years, I would say he's probably a
Speaker 2: favorite to at least been one more bracelet between now
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty two. Nine one, that's it. I'm saying,
Speaker 2: no one a year. Okay, come on, it's gonna win
Speaker 2: one more this year, bro right, right, So he's gonna
Speaker 2: he's gonna have seventeen bracelets in twenty if he can
Speaker 2: win one more, he goes to you know, he goes
Speaker 2: to eight, he joins, you know, the Grano. Maybe see
Speaker 2: if he's got another one. Wait, when does he turn
Speaker 2: June seven, twenty twenty nine, also in the middle of
Speaker 2: the summer series. Yeah. So, the way some of the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame things work, it's basically when it's announced
Speaker 2: the cutoff, and normally it's announced early June around now,
Speaker 2: so he just falls in twenty twenty nine, depending when
Speaker 2: they announced. Let's give him one bracelet, let's give him
Speaker 2: eight bracelets. I'll say he's at He's at eleven bracelet.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of bracelets. Sure, fine, eleven. Then even
Speaker 2: without eleven, I think he's is Benny freaking Glazo. Come on, man,
Speaker 2: Obviously the issue is how many people get in. I
Speaker 2: think he is part of his eligibility class, the number
Speaker 2: one pick to get in. Looking at the names that
Speaker 2: I have that could get in into here we go
Speaker 2: again with this nonsense. Let me read some names. I
Speaker 2: can't wait. I cannot wait to hear the names Stephen Chidwick, Okay,
Speaker 2: Doug Polk, Pads, Patrick, Leonard Seth Davis, Dan Smith, Sergio, Aito,
Speaker 2: Daniel Divores.
Speaker 1: I mean, no one you named is getting in. And
Speaker 1: Ed Arbustad, where's a net overset? Has she picked up
Speaker 1: poker chips or cards in twelve years?
Speaker 2: Probably? But yeah, I get we saying. My point is
Speaker 2: that he is probably the number one pick on this list.
Speaker 1: Oh he's by fuck, it's not even close. You can
Speaker 1: combine careers of people on that list and it's still Benny.
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, everyone on that list is a great
Speaker 1: player and has their place in poker's history book. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be smirched these players, but when
Speaker 1: you're throwing names at me like this, for the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame is the top tier of the top tier,
Speaker 1: the most exclusive club is what Hall of Fames are just.
Speaker 2: Telling you who's eligible. I'm not saying I'm not I'm
Speaker 2: not riding my ballot shadow Dance Smith. I'm just telling
Speaker 2: you who's up for nomination. But you know, we have
Speaker 2: to look at who is not in. You know, if
Speaker 2: Jeremy Osmas isn't in by twenty twenty nine, maybe he
Speaker 2: has nine bracelets, you know, so he's got to catch
Speaker 2: up to Benny. Yeah, well, hopefully going to have eleven.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it does eleven. But yes, I do think Ben
Speaker 2: is a first ballot Hall of Famer, pending whatever changes
Speaker 2: they make to get people in. But yeah, he's building
Speaker 2: a resume to really establish himself as one of the
Speaker 2: best mixed game players in the world, one of the
Speaker 2: UK's best poker players in general, and you know every
Speaker 2: day he's going to be out there grinding away, trying
Speaker 2: to pick up titles and a mass millions of dollars
Speaker 2: in earnings. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff from Benny Glaser to start the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five World Series of Poker.
Speaker 2: Most importantly, Yeah, I would like producer Rich to rewind
Speaker 2: a few episodes, maybe like eight. I'm pretty sure I
Speaker 2: said double bracelet winner by June fifteenth or June tenth
Speaker 2: or something, so Rich, if you can put you're way
Speaker 2: ahead of that. Play it here. It's June fifth. We
Speaker 2: extend that. I think the streak that will never ever end.
Speaker 2: Twenty six years in a row we've had a player
Speaker 2: win two bracelets in the calendar year, or one hundred
Speaker 2: and fourteen double bracelet winners in WSP history.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, Ben, he's on the list. Moving on to
Speaker 1: the twenty five k Nolan at Hold Them Slash PLO,
Speaker 1: we got lou Garza coming back and heads up play.
Speaker 1: He was down four to one against Ben Lamb and
Speaker 1: he wins his second career Gold bracelet. More than one
Speaker 1: point three million dollars. His first gold bracelet came in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three when he won the ten k PLO
Speaker 1: Championship event for right around the same amount one million,
Speaker 1: three hundred nine thousand, and that one. This one was
Speaker 1: one million, three hundred and two thousand. Came back against
Speaker 1: Ben Lamb in this one. We all know how good
Speaker 1: Ben Lamb is at poker, especially when it comes to
Speaker 1: the fore card. Very this one ended up finishing out
Speaker 1: in no limit hold them and he won with two aces.
Speaker 1: Lamb jammed with King ten of clubs. Garza wakes up
Speaker 1: with the aces, picks him off and that's that slight
Speaker 1: sweat on the Queen Jack jack flop, But Lou Garza
Speaker 1: held from there and took it down. On the way
Speaker 1: to the winner circle. He busted, of course, Ben Lamb.
Speaker 1: He busted Chang Jiang Yang and Brandon Mitchel. All that
Speaker 1: was on the final day. Five players returned and then
Speaker 1: Robert Cohen also was busted out on the final day
Speaker 1: when he was eliminated by Ben Lamb. This was a
Speaker 1: PGT qualifying event. It was also streamed on Poker Go,
Speaker 1: so if you guys missed the stream it was It
Speaker 1: was a quick one about two and a half two hours,
Speaker 1: forty five minutes something like that. So if you missed it,
Speaker 1: you want to go watch it, you can find the
Speaker 1: on demand replay on poker Go. But for you, sir,
Speaker 1: mister PGG commissioner, as was a PGT qualifying event. So
Speaker 1: what the heck do the results here do for the leaderboard.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming there's some shake ups because there was a
Speaker 1: lot of points of there's going.
Speaker 2: To work top to bottom relative of the leaderboard. Michael
Speaker 2: Munchak ninth place finisher, he moves into the top ten.
Speaker 2: He's in eighth place, eight hundred and seven points, six
Speaker 2: cashes this year. Alu Gaza up to fourteenth place with
Speaker 2: his seven hundred points. He's a regular in our PGTPLO series,
Speaker 2: so expect him to come back to the studio later
Speaker 2: in the year and look to qualify for around million
Speaker 2: dollar free roll. Ben Lamb has two casha this year already.
Speaker 2: This one this runner finished takes him up to seventeenth place,
Speaker 2: and you know third place finisher Chung Yang Yang, he's
Speaker 2: just inside the top forty. So yeah, obviously the biggest
Speaker 2: results there to kind of PGT regulars Lou and Ben
Speaker 2: in quite a good position to really make a run
Speaker 2: at it for the rest of the PGT season. Sounds good.
Speaker 1: So I got some breaking news' choice.
Speaker 2: We just lost Adam Friedman.
Speaker 1: He will not be winning it for a fourth time,
Speaker 1: but valiant effort by him finishing in seventh place. There
Speaker 1: are six players remaining. We've got Phil Sternheimer up on top,
Speaker 1: Ryan Hoenig in second, Dario Alioto in third, Dylan Smith fourth,
Speaker 1: Matthew Vanger, and fifth Brandon Cantu rounds it out in sixth.
Speaker 1: Five of those six players are on twenty five K
Speaker 1: fantasy team. So we are sweating well, I mean, we're
Speaker 1: just gonna get crushed in in this one. What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? But looks like Sternheimer, your boy, could
Speaker 1: be in line to get this first brace.
Speaker 2: I need something pretty nice for phil Son home today.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what's that? So we came back? What's that?
Speaker 2: Came back with I think like sixteen players something. They
Speaker 2: redrew to two tables. Okay, they took the big table
Speaker 2: up here where the two K and elimit is on
Speaker 2: the feature, and they took tables see where the current
Speaker 2: dealer's choices Nick Nick GUGENTI was complaining about the heat.
Speaker 2: Didn't like it. All right, hold on, I know what
Speaker 2: you're gonna say, but let me finish myself.
Speaker 1: Finish your story, and then we're gonna get into this nonset.
Speaker 2: They hadn't started dealing and I sat up there and
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, this is pretty well, Like do
Speaker 2: you why do we do we have to be up here?
Speaker 2: And the falls asked me. I was like, no, you
Speaker 2: guys can see wherever you want, so can we move back? Sure?
Speaker 2: At the same time, Phil was adjusting his seat. He
Speaker 2: had a nice fresh I don't know, little ice latte
Speaker 2: sitting on his table. Knocked it down, went splattering all
Speaker 2: over the stage.
Speaker 1: You know the other day his drink got knocked over
Speaker 1: by Mickey duek drinks. He put him on the floor
Speaker 1: next to his does he got up and kicked one
Speaker 1: over and then and then and then blamed it on
Speaker 1: like a photographer.
Speaker 2: So they moved back and I said, you know, we
Speaker 2: didn't have much with the cars are in the air
Speaker 2: on the stream, we were pretty relaxed, said philty woman,
Speaker 2: to go get you another one at that, Really, that'd
Speaker 2: be awesome. I was like, yeah, whatever, it's a two
Speaker 2: minute drive to the next stop box. Don't really take
Speaker 2: much out of my day. He's okay, you guys, can
Speaker 2: I order? Can I order you something? I was like, actually,
Speaker 2: just have a guy, I just go on. I need one,
Speaker 2: but I'll get more if you want to guess one
Speaker 2: for for Nick. He wanted a trend of cold brew.
Speaker 2: It's kind of your type of drink. Nick who I
Speaker 2: picked up Nick Giante, the guy who you're going to
Speaker 2: have a follow up. So when I got there, coffee
Speaker 2: brought it back a couple of minutes later. One that's
Speaker 2: when I called you and you were working out because
Speaker 2: I used.
Speaker 1: To got me coffee. We put in the fridge, like
Speaker 1: we're good. You look come on.
Speaker 2: For me. You were coming here for three hours, so
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna you could have handled yourself anyway. Got
Speaker 2: here a drink unbelievable, and I think I think that
Speaker 2: drink is going to power him to this bracelet. I
Speaker 2: think I should he should give me his bracelet when
Speaker 2: he wins, because it's the the ice coffee I went,
Speaker 2: or the ice latte went and got for him. At
Speaker 2: one o'clock today.
Speaker 1: So you and I undered over to Paris. Yes, today
Speaker 1: and we're checking out the twenty five K six Max.
Speaker 1: We're checking out the fifteen hundred dollars Badugie, both of
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about in a few minutes. But we
Speaker 1: stumble upon a table that has both David Baker's Odib
Speaker 1: and bakes. Right, he was sitting at that table. Nick
Speaker 1: Wa genty was also, he was at that table at
Speaker 1: that time. Now Odib immediately puts his hoodie like over
Speaker 1: his head. You know, he's just getting to the table.
Speaker 1: Nick Wa genty honestly looks like he's back in Ohio.
Speaker 1: He's got a like two hoodies on. I think one
Speaker 1: pulled way over his head. So he's he's complaining over
Speaker 1: there that he's too cold. He's complaining over here that
Speaker 1: he's too hot. You just can't please this guy. Now
Speaker 1: are There are a handful of tables around the Horseshoe
Speaker 1: and around Paris where there is event like pretty much
Speaker 1: directly above them. If you guys watched Daniel Legrandu's vlog,
Speaker 1: his recent vlaw, he's on one of those tables. It's
Speaker 1: actually it's on the other side of the room. He
Speaker 1: was in the dealersh cho and he had his he
Speaker 1: had his hoodie pulled over. He was holding his holding
Speaker 1: it tight in the front. He's like, this draft, this draft.
Speaker 1: Look look at the little stanchion rope. Look at it
Speaker 1: is blowing in the wind. So there are a few.
Speaker 1: I love those tables personally. I like when it's freezing
Speaker 1: cold in here, you know, I want I want Amazon
Speaker 1: room temperatures that were at the Rio. You know you
Speaker 1: gotta wear a sweatshirt for sure. I like when it's cold.
Speaker 1: I would rather be cold than hot. That that's just me.
Speaker 1: So anyway, you should tell the.
Speaker 2: Other side, sorry, from that, what you should tell the
Speaker 2: athamar side story.
Speaker 1: No, we're not gonna tell the sides. We're not. We're
Speaker 1: gonna skip that one. So the ten k deal shows
Speaker 1: down to six again. We'll we'll wrap that one up
Speaker 1: on what Friday?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Look, we got four more hours of
Speaker 2: play today. I don't he just lost Brandon Cantu. I
Speaker 2: still don't think it's going to get there. I bay
Speaker 2: you the bag three players. I've come back tomorrow one o'clock.
Speaker 2: Finished that off. Hopefully it's Phil Sternheim and winning. He's
Speaker 2: w s O. P. Brasle.
Speaker 1: Okay, well there is three fifty four K for the winner. Sternheimer,
Speaker 1: I think, I think among anyone who doesn't have a bracelet,
Speaker 1: he is up there in terms of like he wants
Speaker 1: one so bad, right, you know, and especially in this game,
Speaker 1: this format, you know, dealer's choice. He's a huge, huge
Speaker 1: mixed game guy. He absolutely loves it. He worked closely
Speaker 1: with you on the Super High roller Bowl mixed game tournament,
Speaker 1: like you know, that was his baby. So if he's
Speaker 1: able to go on and win this, you know, I
Speaker 1: think that that would just be absolutely freaking incredible. We
Speaker 1: got the two K playing down as well. Where's that
Speaker 1: one at? Well, that one's on the main stage first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we got Humesh Babu Sukumar I probably put that
Speaker 1: last name leading the way. With five players remain Scott
Speaker 1: Bowman in second, Dusty Smith in third, Benjamin Williams and fourth,
Speaker 1: and then Kwan Jao is in fifth place. These guys
Speaker 1: are guaranteed guys Angal guaranteed one hundred and thirteen thousand
Speaker 1: dollars four hundred and thirty six thousand dollars up top
Speaker 1: for the winner. They're huge, huge field in this two
Speaker 1: K possibility. On another one we had we had a
Speaker 1: third place finished yesterday, and we had a shot here
Speaker 1: to get another one in an open event. Of course,
Speaker 1: sixteen and ninety two entries in this tournament. Not sure
Speaker 1: if they're going to finish tonight. They're down there. It's
Speaker 1: ten forty five pm, so we'll see. Might be one
Speaker 1: of those bag with three players type of ordeals that happens,
Speaker 1: and then you know, if it doesn't finish, you know,
Speaker 1: either way, we'll just have to wrap it up on
Speaker 1: the next episode. But I guess maybe there's a chance
Speaker 1: something crazy happens and we get a little breaking news
Speaker 1: here on the show right now, the fifteen hundred dollars shootout. Now,
Speaker 1: so this is on to the final day, correct, So
Speaker 1: how is this working? Because we're playing to stream this
Speaker 1: on Friday.
Speaker 2: Right, correct? So how is this? It's just a normal
Speaker 2: tournament now, just a fifteen play tournament. I thought they
Speaker 2: might be like two teams. Yeah, no, they didn't do
Speaker 2: that last year, so this year it's makes sense. Okay,
Speaker 2: fifteen play a tournament. They'll play down obviously to firstly
Speaker 2: one table and then modified shootout modified shootout, correct, And yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll probably pick them up seven or eight handed about
Speaker 2: four o'clock local time stream, probably targeting that five PM
Speaker 2: that normal window for us. That is the current plan
Speaker 2: with this one. You know, they'll be pretty deep to
Speaker 2: start obviously, and entries were in this tournament a lot.
Speaker 2: I feel like twelve ninety nine. But isn't that is
Speaker 2: that round tables were nine handed someone eight handed because
Speaker 2: of the double Yeah, but I feel that double flight.
Speaker 1: I want to say, didn't this used to get a
Speaker 1: thousand players with a single flight, so now you have
Speaker 1: two flights and only gets twelve ninety ninety.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the issue with the single flight is that
Speaker 2: once some you know, you kind of anyone playing at
Speaker 2: the next like the the evening flight allows people that
Speaker 2: playing another event on a date to Boston then getting
Speaker 2: to it well before they couldn't. So yeah, the individual
Speaker 2: flights are slightly small, law, but combined field size end
Speaker 2: up being bigger. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: guess so. I think this fore that's way better than
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 1: I like the format for sure. I would almost say
Speaker 1: I think we discussed we could gram three flights.
Speaker 2: We can do you know, you do four flights?
Speaker 1: You could make this gouts go down to it. All
Speaker 1: notables not puncery. Michael Rosito all punched their tickets through
Speaker 1: to the final day. Duff Sharette is also going on
Speaker 1: through Cred Golbert.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that the same? Do we think that's the same.
Speaker 1: I think I would assume, so you have to so right, So, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all through to the final round. As to mention,
Speaker 1: they're going to come back, they're going to play a
Speaker 1: real tournament now and they're going to try and get
Speaker 1: down to a winner. Two hundred and sixty seven thousand
Speaker 1: dollars up top in that and we will be streaming
Speaker 1: on poker Go and the poker Go YouTube channel, so
Speaker 1: be sure to check that one out tomorrow. The plan
Speaker 1: is for the stream to air.
Speaker 2: When tenably five pm Pacific. Got it all right? Cool?
Speaker 1: Before we move on, let me talk to you about
Speaker 1: a little sponsor here. This episode of the Poker Gril
Speaker 1: podcast is brought to you by True Classic the only
Speaker 1: shirts we trust. I'm wearing one right now.
Speaker 2: I'm wearing one. It's under my jacket.
Speaker 1: But I am the only shirts that we trust to
Speaker 1: look sharp and feel even better whether you're grinding on
Speaker 1: the felt or heading out for the night or doing
Speaker 1: the Poker Girl podcast. Of course, True Classics fit is
Speaker 1: next level, affordable, comfortable and built for real guys. Go
Speaker 1: to True Classic Teas dot Com and upgrade your wardrobe today.
Speaker 1: They have much more than just teas. Okay, they have bottoms,
Speaker 1: they got tops, they got active where, they got hats.
Speaker 1: I mean they got everything as well, I think now,
Speaker 1: and they have everything everything you know a guy would want,
Speaker 1: and very very affordable, you know, to get good, high
Speaker 1: quality fitting clothes. I know Jeff Platt whenever he talks
Speaker 1: about this on one of the broadcasts, He's always like,
Speaker 1: I love True Classic. I'm wearing a tea right now,
Speaker 1: so I love them. Jeff Platt loves them. Everyone that
Speaker 1: I've seen get the absolutely loves them. So check them
Speaker 1: out today True Classic Tas dot Com. The other events
Speaker 1: that are happening around the WSOP, we got the Colossus
Speaker 1: plane Day one B three three hundred and nine entries
Speaker 1: on this second starting flight, second of four starting flights. Now,
Speaker 1: I did see a little discrepancy on Day one A.
Speaker 1: I saw on Poker News that they had in the
Speaker 1: recap that it was like there was three thousand, three
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine on Day one A. But then
Speaker 1: I saw on the app that it was two thy
Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy three. And immediately I thought, because
Speaker 1: I was looking at Poker News, and I said, well,
Speaker 1: that's weird that one B is less than one A.
Speaker 1: That can't be right, Yeah, And then I looked in
Speaker 1: the app and it gave me a different number. So
Speaker 1: I don't know which number is correct for one A
Speaker 1: yet I would assume it's two seven seventy.
Speaker 2: Three one because it's the app too.
Speaker 1: Because it's smaller than one B, I thought we would
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a bigger jump for one
Speaker 1: B up to like four K, right, going only two
Speaker 1: seven seven three up to three three oh nine, I
Speaker 1: thought it would be a little bit more right, you know,
Speaker 1: hit thirty eight hundred four k something like that. I
Speaker 1: still think Friday and Saturday are going to be absolutely
Speaker 1: you know, wall to wall jam packed in this place.
Speaker 1: But you know, still so that's still to come. We
Speaker 1: won't touch too much on that. You know, it doesn't
Speaker 1: really get serious till day two. In the Colosses. And
Speaker 1: remember that the Colosses this year five hundred dollars buy
Speaker 1: in as opposed to the four hundred dollars buy in.
Speaker 1: So the other thing shout out to our buddy Matt Clark,
Speaker 1: who pointed out today and we're not fact checking this,
Speaker 1: so we're just going to roll with it. But it's
Speaker 1: the tenth anniversary of the Colossus Tournament, which is which
Speaker 1: is the OG that's.
Speaker 2: The OG Motion Show Tournament. Chaotic Kill.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's awesome, right, but remember when this first
Speaker 1: happened and it was like, what is this thing? And
Speaker 1: I just remember I remember the pavilion room at Rio
Speaker 1: just being slammed, absolutely the lamped So, you know, shout
Speaker 1: out to the Colossus because it's one it's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite tournaments every single summer. I am bummed that
Speaker 1: I can't play it this year. And yeah, I always
Speaker 1: am like, where's the classes? I want to play it? Gladiators.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, okay, I can't. I can't with the Gladiators.
Speaker 1: I just I've tried. I'm ultrue. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it'll be different this year because you know,
Speaker 1: we haven't heard anything about ten handed play, but every
Speaker 1: time in the Gladiators you're playing ten handed. And the
Speaker 1: worst part about when you play ten handed in that
Speaker 1: tournament in the past, even when they're breaking tables, you're
Speaker 1: still playing ten handed. It's like, why can't you just
Speaker 1: break tables and make it nine handed? Like why can't
Speaker 1: we just do this? You know, but they keep you
Speaker 1: ten handed the whole way, and it's just it's out
Speaker 1: of control. Moving on fifteen hundred dollars PL eight, Calvin
Speaker 1: Anderson is cruising over there. We did get a cash
Speaker 1: out of Nico Milgram for our five K fantasy team,
Speaker 1: but he is since out. I think he busted in
Speaker 1: fifty second place something like that. Around there somewhere they
Speaker 1: are down to nineteen players from eleven hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: six two hundred and forty eight thousand dollars up top.
Speaker 1: I mentioned Calvin Anderson having the lead, Chris Vich is
Speaker 1: second in chips. Justin Liberto is doing well. Bryce Jockey
Speaker 1: is also doing well. So a nice field over there.
Speaker 1: Andres Korn he was on our twenty five K team
Speaker 1: last year, andres Man like, what the heck, what the heck,
Speaker 1: what the heck. Marco Johnson also in there as well,
Speaker 1: so we'll keep our eyes on that as it plays
Speaker 1: out to a winner. And then the twenty five K
Speaker 1: six Max Nolan mad hold them high Roller, the good
Speaker 1: old Big Daddy I love this tournament. I was walking
Speaker 1: the field today over there at Paris. It seemed incredibly tough. Now,
Speaker 1: of course it should be tough, it's a twenty five
Speaker 1: K six max. But I just felt like in the
Speaker 1: past there were some soft spots, you know, this one,
Speaker 1: I just I don't know, I don't feel like there
Speaker 1: were any. So, I mean there was a few, of course,
Speaker 1: but still I thought like this was I was like,
Speaker 1: this is this tournament is ungodly hard. So you know,
Speaker 1: we'll see how things go. Of course, but they wrapped
Speaker 1: up day one a early. You talked to Chino while
Speaker 1: we were out there, and she knows, like Sheino's asking you,
Speaker 1: like you're in charge of the tournament structures. He's like,
Speaker 1: what how come it says wrong playing eight levels today?
Speaker 1: Because this is what they do in these tournaments now.
Speaker 1: They play them eight levels so that they can have
Speaker 1: the registry. They have a short day one, then they
Speaker 1: have the registration carry through for the first level or
Speaker 1: two on day two.
Speaker 2: That's what they do in the high rollers.
Speaker 1: So Gino must be new here obviously because this has
Speaker 1: been a thing. It's not like this is new.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't I don't love it. I would rather
Speaker 2: than play, you know, playing another level of two levels
Speaker 2: on day one means you know, for WSFA, another rebuy,
Speaker 2: another re entry, you know, allows some molar people to
Speaker 2: get in. Potentially, I would have. You'd obviously have to
Speaker 2: tweak the structure a little bit so you're not too
Speaker 2: shallow if you do the max light on day two.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it just seems silly to just you know,
Speaker 2: mid day at nine pm and be done. It's a
Speaker 2: bit of a short day, especially when most of the
Speaker 2: other events, you know, you hit at two am.
Speaker 1: What the levels are an hour the Yeah, I think that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's not like you're playing until like twelve twelve midnight.
Speaker 1: You know, you're playing until like ten, ten thirty something
Speaker 1: like that. So it's not that bad. Michael got a
Speaker 1: three time WSOP Gold Brace. The winner finished at the
Speaker 1: top of the counts to finish day one seventy two
Speaker 1: players and bagged up for day two. Aramaganion second in chips,
Speaker 1: Nick Schulman third in chips, Jared Blessnik fifth and chips,
Speaker 1: Seth Davies Team DBMD is in sixth and chips, and
Speaker 1: we also have mister short Stack himself seventy second place
Speaker 1: on the leaderboard. Our one hundred and forty one dollars
Speaker 1: player bagging crumbs. What are the blinds for tomorrow, Jeremy
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dausmans put sixty five k in the bag for you.
Speaker 2: It's five big bonds. I'm going with five big bonds
Speaker 2: a SI guy, so six twelve, six and a half bigs?
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh yeah, baby, let's go spin it up, baby.
Speaker 1: I mean, he can still if he hasn't used his reentry,
Speaker 1: he can use his reentry. It does have one re
Speaker 1: entry in this tournament. I was reading on Poker News
Speaker 1: and per they're reporting Daniel Legrandu Eric Sidel, which I
Speaker 1: believe they spelled Eric saidel wrong unless I spelled it wrong.
Speaker 1: But Dan Smith, Archer, Martirosi and Steven Chidwick and Adrian
Speaker 1: Matteos all busted and used their re entry.
Speaker 2: Next wait on any one re entry. That's what it
Speaker 2: said in the Poker News reporting.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, And it's feels like too much of a
Speaker 1: hassle to try and go to the WSP website and
Speaker 1: look up the structure. So you know, it's just I
Speaker 1: can only do so much, right, I can only do
Speaker 1: so much. Producer rich Is like, you guys got a
Speaker 1: podcast early, I'm trying to rush through things.
Speaker 2: You're right, one re entry, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, So so yeah, if that's true, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good list of names that's no longer
Speaker 1: going to be in this tournament, of course, chief among
Speaker 1: them d Naggs. So we'll have to hop into the
Speaker 1: next one, the fifteen hundred. Oh and also, this event
Speaker 1: had two hundred and seventy two entries last year, so
Speaker 1: already meeting last year's total on day one. They're gonna
Speaker 1: get it. They're gonna get over three hundred, for sure.
Speaker 1: They're gonna get all the people that didn't use their
Speaker 1: re entry. Maybe they busted late in the night, they're
Speaker 1: just like, I'm just gonna go home, not gonna play
Speaker 1: for another forty five minutes or whatever.
Speaker 2: I'll come back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a bunch of people that are just
Speaker 1: buying in fresh tomorrow. Then you're gonna get people like
Speaker 1: I mean, hope, I mean not hopefully, but Jeremy Osmas,
Speaker 1: let's say he busts, he didn't use his re entry.
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, I'm gonna fire it right back in.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're gonna soar up over three hundred, so massive,
Speaker 1: massive turnout there. Shout out to the word massive. You
Speaker 1: always love that bit, don't you. It's good to most
Speaker 1: overused word in poker, so I'm gonna overuse it. Fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred dollars bud Doogie turned out to be the largest
Speaker 1: the Doogie tournament in the history of poker.
Speaker 2: Can you believe it? It's been like for tournament. That's
Speaker 2: not the greatest thing, got it?
Speaker 1: You gotta set the records, baby, five hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: four and there were four hundred and eighty seven last year.
Speaker 1: So that's a nice little uptex for the badugie crowd,
Speaker 1: for the mixed game crowd. Top eighty one are going
Speaker 1: to pay one hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars up top.
Speaker 1: Do you have anyone who's still in that tournament?
Speaker 2: George Wolf, Chip Lad, Niko Milgram top ten and Chips Oh,
Speaker 2: Nico Big Ones so he's doing well. Just the man,
Speaker 2: let's go Eerie d NDE guy, he's up in the
Speaker 2: top ten. Ramos. Yeah, a whole bunch of mixed game
Speaker 2: legends shock playing this one. So a good fun event.
Speaker 2: You know, we we were over there for a little while,
Speaker 2: checking it out, seeing all the faces in the event.
Speaker 2: So definitely what I want to play one day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm kind of over the mixed games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think, I think, I mean for now,
Speaker 1: that'll probably change in a year, who knows, But I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like the Nolan stuff is so
Speaker 1: much better, and I'm a sucker for the just the
Speaker 1: bigger prize pools. Yeah, I'm a sucker for the bigger
Speaker 1: prize pools. I'm succer for the the fact that I
Speaker 1: can go all in. I mean that sounds stupid, I know,
Speaker 1: but I can literally say I'm all in. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know he can't always do it, so yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just a sucker for that sort of stuff. I
Speaker 1: like the I like to see all the flashing lights,
Speaker 1: you know, the big like up in this two K,
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty six thousand dollars first place priorly
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So you know, I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: someday I'll swing back to the mixed game ways, but
Speaker 1: for now loving the no limits stuff for sure. I
Speaker 1: definitely want to start playing some more Plo and Polo eight.
Speaker 1: I mean you see some stuff in this PLO eight
Speaker 1: tournament that's like, what in the f are people do?
Speaker 1: I mean, you see stuff in these PLO tournaments that
Speaker 1: are like I don't see stuff in every tournament that
Speaker 1: makes That is very true, That is very true. But
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, yeah, it's funny the I feel
Speaker 1: like in the polo tournaments, both PLO and PLO eight,
Speaker 1: the really good players in those fields, they just have
Speaker 1: such a control over things, like way more so than
Speaker 1: nolamit hold them And it's it's funny because everyone thinks
Speaker 1: PLO is this crazy action game, you know, when it
Speaker 1: comes to PLO tournaments, I think it's a lot more
Speaker 1: controlled than people think, at least when it comes to
Speaker 1: like the best players. You know, they're not just like
Speaker 1: spazing and going outs. I mean, you can't play that
Speaker 1: if you want to, right, you can really really press
