WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.599 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:19.199 Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. It is 3 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.679 twelve thirty five am. It's another one of those nights 4 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.199 where I was trying to wait for a couple of 5 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.960 these tournaments to end. Doesn't seem like they're ending. We 6 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.079 got a heads up match in the twenty five k 7 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.320 half and half those guys are battling back and forth. 8 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.799 One of them just doubled up again. So we'll see 9 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.439 if by time I get to that, if there's a 10 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.439 winner in that one, because that's a pretty big event 11 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.159 that we can talk about. But if not, we'll talk 12 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.799 about the winner on the next episode. But there is 13 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.560 some stuff that I do want to hit on from 14 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.240 that specific event. But the headliner on this episode we 15 00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:01.640 got Benny Glauser winning the fifty KC. He topped a 16 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.719 field of one hundred and eight entries to win what 17 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.879 many consider to be the most prestigious bracelet at the 18 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.280 World Series of Poker, and if it's not considered that, 19 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.519 then it is certainly second to the WASIP Maine event. 20 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.680 I would have the ws main event first, of course, 21 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:18.640 but I know a lot of the top pros out 22 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.719 there they want to win the fifty k PPC. They 23 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.480 probably think that they have a chance to win it 24 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.680 more due to the field size. But you know that's that, 25 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.400 and we're we're gonna hit on Benny Glazer's triumphant victory there. 26 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.120 We got Daniel Legrand who, speaking of the fifty k, 27 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.519 he won that once a couple of years ago. Daniel 28 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.760 Legrano coming close to another gold bracelet, will hit on that. 29 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.359 We got Sean Winter, I want to talk about him. 30 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.280 Didn't win anything, but that's kind of the point of 31 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.680 why we're going to be talking about mister Winter. The 32 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:58.000 Ladies Championship event kicked off on Thursday, a record turnout, 33 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.480 a record field size in the Ladies Championship, but we 34 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.959 did lose the goat on day one, and then we 35 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.879 got a couple winners. We got the one K Super 36 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.120 Seniors winner, we got the fifte hundred dollars freeze out winner. 37 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.960 We'll touch on the other stuff that's kind of happening 38 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.199 around down on the strip at Horseshoe and Paris.

All right, First up, we got 50 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.879 Benny Glaser take down the fifty K Poker Players Championship. 51 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.960 He tops a field of one hundred and eight entries 52 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.599 one hundred and eight of poker's best to win one million, 53 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:17.599 three hundred and forty three thousand dollars, his ninth bracelet 54 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.439 nine nine for Benny, and that's nine in eleven years. 55 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.680 His first bracelet win was in twenty fifteen. It's his 56 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.080 eighth wasip cash this summer. He came close to getting 57 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.639 number nine a little while ago in the ten K 58 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.680 limitold Heim Championship. Ever so close because he got second 59 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.159 in that event for one hundred and ninety thousand dollars. 60 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.400 As it relates to the fifty K PPC. He did 61 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.840 say after when he was talking to Jeff Platt post 62 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.719 win in his little interview there the little bracelet presentation 63 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.360 that they do that Jeff Platt does. He told Jeff that, 64 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.680 you know, he really wanted to win this one, and 65 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.360 he's come closed a couple of times. Those times that 66 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.240 he has come close in the past, first twenty eighteen 67 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.759 when he finished fifth in the event for two hundred 68 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.159 and sixty thousand dollars, and then in twenty twenty two 69 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.280 he took fourth in the event for four hundred and 70 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.360 sixty four thousand dollars. An interesting thing is if you 71 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:21.480 look at post Moneymaker, so Moneymaker won in two thousand 72 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.160 and three, let's not consider that year because once that happened, 73 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.720 that's really what ignited everything. You know, it sparked, It 74 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.199 sparked the incredible growth of poker, THESIP, all that sort 75 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.480 of stuff. So let's start with the two thousand and 76 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:40.399 four WSP since that year. Guests, who has the most 77 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:46.360 bracelet wins? Of course, you probably guessed Benny Glaser. No 78 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.279 one has more bracelets starting with the two thousand and 79 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:56.480 four DOUBSIP than Benny Glauser. He's got nine Helmuth, Shulman, deeb, 80 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.519 Miss Rocky, they've all got eight. And then Rasked Ivy, 81 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:08.519 sever and Anderson, Calvin Anderson, they've got seven. So with 82 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.920 the type of success that Benny has been having, I 83 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.839 think the question now that we have to start asking 84 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.720 is is Benny Glasser the greatest mixed games player in 85 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.759 the modern era? And honestly, you might even say of 86 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.439 all time to be real, but let's just you know, 87 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.120 keep it to the modern era, right Also, you know, 88 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.519 the modern era is my era. It's a little bit 89 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.639 easier for me to speak to than trying to go back, 90 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.800 you know, generations and stuff like that. You got Phil 91 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.439 helm he's still owning the all time bracelet record with seventeen. 92 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.759 Of course, you got Phil Ivy, who was also at this, 93 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.800 at this fifty K final table, he finished in third place. 94 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.040 You know, he's the player that many consider to be 95 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.600 the most naturally gifted, the goat the greatest player of 96 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:02.920 all time. We want to look at the fifty KPPC specifically, 97 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.639 of course, that's Michael the grind Durmaans Rockies event. You know, 98 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.000 he has owned this tournament. He's won it four times. Famously, 99 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.560 he won it the last WSIP in twenty twenty five, 100 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.879 and then he also went on to win the WSP 101 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.319 main event in just an absolutely out of this world happening. 102 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.199 But if we're going to talk strictly about the last 103 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.800 two decades, or slightly more than the last two decades, 104 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.920 because let's again let's take it back to two thousand 105 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:36.600 and four, the players who came after that year in 106 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.959 two thousand and three, when Chris Moneymaker won and poker 107 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.439 then exploded. I'm not sure that there's anyone out there 108 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.920 who has built a better WSIP resume than Benny Glauser. 109 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.800 I understand you might be able to argue maybe some 110 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.839 people have, maybe some people maybe Beny hasn't you know, 111 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.160 I get it, But Benny one hundred percent, two hundred 112 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.040 percent has to be in the conversation. He just has 113 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.879 to be nine bracelets in eleven years. He's done it 114 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.519 in all different types of variants, and he just won 115 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.879 when it comes to mixed games, when it comes to 116 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.920 being the best all around player in the world, this 117 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.439 is the tournament to win the fifty KPPC. So this 118 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.560 isn't just when you look at all that success he's 119 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.160 had at the World series of poker. You know, this 120 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:30.240 isn't just bracelet number nine, it's bracelet number nine in 121 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.959 eleven years. Again, if you take out all bracelets from 122 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:41.399 two thousand and three and before, Glausar is number one. Okay, 123 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.120 he's ahead of Helmut, He's ahead of Shulman, He's ahead 124 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.160 of deb He's ahead of his Rocky rast Ivy sver Anderson, 125 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.480 you name it. He is ahead. I don't think I 126 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.879 can state how hard it is to win this specific tournament. 127 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.399 You know this. You have to play for five days, 128 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.160 You got to play nine different games. It is a 129 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:04.959 very long drawn out, player friendly structure. You know, this 130 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.160 isn't just about showing up for two days and just 131 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:14.000 running hot, right like, this is a true test of 132 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.480 a poker tournament. This is, you know, part of its endurance. 133 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.319 If if there was ever a tournament that was as 134 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.519 close as it could get to a cash game, it's 135 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.959 this one, and it's the WSP min event, right like 136 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.759 those are the two and there's really nothing else that's close. 137 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.320 You know, the field in this one one hundred and 138 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.919 eight of the world's best mixed game specialists. You know, 139 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.320 of course, yes, you have some other players in their blasting. 140 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.799 But everyone's got a lot of game. They're all playing 141 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:46.080 their ass off. They're putting up fifty K to play 142 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.000 this one. First place is more than one point three 143 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:54.279 four million dollars when you factor in what Benny's been 144 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.679 doing this summer alone. Again, this is his eighth abyssip cash. Like, 145 00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.639 it's not like this is like, you know, he just 146 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.799 got in this tournament. It kind of came out of nowhere. 147 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.759 Had in the fact that he's been close in this 148 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.519 event before, add in the fact that he's had eight 149 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:12.000 previous mixed game bracelets, Like this isn't just magic and 150 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.279 something that just happened out of thin air. Like Benny's 151 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:19.200 a freaking crusher. He really is, you know, just whatever 152 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.159 a week or two weeks ago or however long it was, 153 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.120 he almost won the ten k Lemon Holdham Championship. He 154 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.159 finished second there for one hundred and ninety K. I mean, 155 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.639 this is just absolutely crazy. He's been knocking on this 156 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.360 door before. I mentioned the fifth place finish in twenty eighteen, 157 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.240 I mentioned the fourth place finish in twenty twenty two. 158 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:45.840 Nine bracelets in eleven years. That is simply incredible. It really, 159 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:51.240 really really is, and it's nine bracelets in the most 160 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:57.080 recent eleven years, when I don't think it's any surprise 161 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.440 to say that this is the hardest time to win 162 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.879 it poker. Everyone is good, fields are bigger, it's harder 163 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.840 to win. And Benny is just absolutely at the top 164 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.759 of his game. You know. Again, he's ahead of Helmut Shulman. 165 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.120 Deep this rocky rast ivy see for Galvin Anderson, Like 166 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.840 that is a six sick list of players right there, 167 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.759 and Benny Glauser is just alone to the top with 168 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.559 nine bracelets since two thousand and four. You know, there 169 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.600 are players that dominate a game, sure, got it. There 170 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.799 are players that dominate an era. Of course, you know, 171 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.679 Benny has basically dominated multiple games, you know, And it's 172 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.120 just it's crazy. Since he won his first bracelet in 173 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:46.679 twenty fifteen, he's averaged nearly a bracelet a year. I mean, 174 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.000 that's awesome, I know, I know. You know, obviously there 175 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.120 were some years when he didn't win, some he won 176 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.159 three the one year, Like, I get it. You know, 177 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.000 it's almost like now he's got to be the player 178 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:02.840 that you have to think has Sorry, maybe not the player, 179 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.080 but he's he's one of the players who has a 180 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.320 great shot at running down Phil Hemp. He has to 181 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.919 if he stays on this pace. You know, if you 182 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.519 just put him at a bracelet a year, okay, the 183 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.399 next ten years, he's gonna have ten more. He's gonna 184 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.519 be up to nineteen. Like you know, maybe some years 185 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.240 he doesn't win one, maybe o those years he wins two. Like, 186 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.120 I mean, he's certainly good enough. And while he hasn't 187 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.600 won a bracelet in Nolan at hold Him or potlom 188 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.399 and Omaha. Like Ben, he plays all the games, you know, 189 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.679 and yes, certain games might be better. He might say 190 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.480 he's better at that than the big bet stuff, of course, 191 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:44.320 but he's had plenty of success in big bet stuff, right. Like, 192 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.960 he's a very very good player, and he tries his 193 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.799 ass off, which I think matters a lot. You know, 194 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.559 I think that's probably you know, Phil Hellmuse's best skill 195 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.960 is that he's like never gonna give up ever. You know, 196 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.039 he's always gonna try, try, try. We can all like 197 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.919 you know, poke fun at his game or saying he's 198 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:00.720 not doing this right or that right or whatever the 199 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.399 heck it is, but like he's always going to try to, 200 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.840 Like his last chip is gone, and Benny's a similar 201 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.039 type of player. He's always going to just bust his 202 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.200 ass and try, try to try, and he cares a lot. 203 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.600 He showed a lot of emotion after he won this tournament. 204 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.000 You know, he got down in kind of a squad. 205 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.399 You know, he didn't really get down to his knees, 206 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.440 but he was down down to his squad. He was, 207 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.080 you know, visibly emotional, tears coming out of his eyes. 208 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.679 Really couldn't he really didn't have enough time to collect 209 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.320 himself before he went up and talked to Jeff Platt, 210 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.200 but he, you know, he did what he could, said 211 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.559 some really good things. And yeah, I mean, I mean, 212 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:39.200 this guy is just he's becoming one of, if not 213 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.120 the defining mixed game legend in poker history. Like he 214 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.399 really is. And again he might be the one that 215 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.600 ultimately ends up running down Phil Hammyth. First, He's got 216 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.039 a ways to go. Of course, Helmet is up there 217 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.039 with seventeen helmets, of course, still playing. But on this pace, 218 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.879 I mean, Benny is is absolutely dominating. I would say 219 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.000 that the next thing for many just seems naturally that 220 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.519 it's gonna be WSP Player of the Year. Now does 221 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.120 that come this year. Does that come in a future year? 222 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.120 I don't know, but that seems like the one thing 223 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:14.200 he's got to tick off, you know, not that he 224 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.480 has to, you know, I think his his resume already 225 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.960 speaks for itself. Yes, but if he is able to 226 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.559 achieve WSP Player of the Year honors, then that would 227 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:32.000 just be the absolute ice you Noman King. All right, 228 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.080 let's go over and check out this twenty five k 229 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:38.679 high roller half and half nolanan Holdham slash pot limit. Omaha. 230 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.240 They are still heads up at time of recording. It's 231 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.039 twelve forty nine am right now. On Friday, June twenty 232 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.080 sixth Elis Parsonen is heads up with another finish player. 233 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.200 He finished legend Yuha Helpi. Elis is going for his 234 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:00.240 second bracelet this summer. We've already had Nioi Kihara to 235 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.840 this summer. We've already had Calvin Anderson winning to this summer. 236 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.919 Now Elis could get his second as well. These guys. 237 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.399 Elis did pull away, he had the chipley to start, 238 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.559 he started to pull away. Help me, doubled up a 239 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:14.679 couple of times. And now it looks like, at least 240 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:18.159 according to Poker News again twelve forty nine am that 241 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.120 they are basically dead even so doesn't look like we're 242 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.639 going to get to talk about this one. It does 243 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.879 look like they are about thirty five to forty big 244 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.799 Linds deep, So this one could take a while, especially 245 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.799 you know, I'm I'm assuming these guys absolutely wanted a ton, right, 246 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:36.720 so they're going to be freaking battling until the end. 247 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.559 But we can still talk about this tournament a little bit, 248 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.039 you know, kind of up until this point. You know, 249 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:47.039 at the final table, a couple of notable stories here. 250 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.480 One we had Lou Garza, Sweet Lou ap Lou Garza 251 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.279 making the final table. He ultimately finished in sixth place 252 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.840 for two hundred and three thousand dollars. And I bring 253 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.600 up Garza because he won this event last year, almost 254 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.639 went back to back, that's wild. You had Daniel Legrandu 255 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.799 at the final table. He finished in seventh place for jesh, 256 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.759 I have one hundred and fifty three thousand dollars like 257 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:15.919 the player we just talked about winning the fifty k 258 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.440 PPC Benny Glasser Daniel m'granno making his eighth cash of 259 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.360 the summer's eighth WSP cash of the summer. Of course, 260 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.159 that seventh place finish though, is going to be short 261 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.799 of bracelet number eight. This summer for Daniel, he's got 262 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.759 a ninth, a twentieth, in eighth, a thirteenth, a twenty 263 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.200 sixth and eleventh, and eighty fourth and a seventh, so 264 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:43.440 he's definitely putting together some deep runs. He's still got 265 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:47.279 thirty events left on the schedule, so I would expect, 266 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:51.000 at a stone minimum, probably two more final tables out 267 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.879 of Daniel. It's just my personal expectation with the kind 268 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.559 of performances that he's been putting out there so far, 269 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.519 and he's got thirty events left to go win number 270 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.720 eight or maybe even bracelet number nine if he's able 271 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.639 to rip two of these off. But it's not like 272 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.679 he hasn't been kind of knocking out the door, Daniel. 273 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.840 He has certainly been knocking at the door with so 274 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.759 many deep runs like he's been having, and a lot 275 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:13.519 of those that have been in some some bigger buying 276 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.360 events against some tough competition like this one here, the 277 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:19.320 twenty five k half and half. So Daniel's getting close. 278 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.440 Did fall short here, yes, but you know, it seems 279 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.480 like he's he's getting pretty gone close to getting another 280 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.440 piece of doubsipy goal. And then the other player that 281 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:32.000 I want to mention from this event, third place finisher 282 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.679 taking home five hundred and forty thousand dollars. That is, 283 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:41.320 if there was a poster child for how cruel it 284 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.200 can be in poker tournaments, how hard it can be 285 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.519 to win a bracelet. You know, how tough and brutal 286 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.960 the w s AP grind can can be. You know, 287 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.840 when you couple in how often you're out there playing, 288 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.600 how close you're getting to ultimately winning, and you know, 289 00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:59.480 in a lot of cases, or at least in this 290 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.799 player's case, is how close you're coming but ultimately not 291 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.400 walking away with a title. That's Shawn Winter. I mean, 292 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.400 I mean every single year it seems to come out. 293 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.559 We have this list in poker that everyone talks about. 294 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:13.880 You know, I've talked about it many times, the best 295 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.160 players who still don't have ASP bracelet. Now that list 296 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.480 really should be called the list of notable players who 297 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.599 still don't have ABSP bracelet. Either way, whatever the heck 298 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.880 you want to call it. Shawn Winter. Unfortunately for him, 299 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.319 he's going to remain on that list this time another 300 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.279 deep run he gets third place in this twenty five 301 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:39.279 K half and half, another final table for him. Earlier 302 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.799 this summer he had a fourth place in an event, 303 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:44.119 he had a third place in an event. Now he's 304 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.559 got this third place. So three top four finishes but 305 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.079 still short of that bracelet. Over the years, he's had 306 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.200 six other top five finishes in WSLP events. I mean, you, 307 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.440 on one hand, it's like you kind of hurt for 308 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.759 the guy, right, You're kind of like, man like, can 309 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.400 he just like rip this one off already, Like can 310 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.680 he just get this monkey off his back? On the 311 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.039 other side of things, you know, you just really do 312 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.200 appreciate how often he's able to put himself in a 313 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:17.359 position of the final five, the final four, the final three, 314 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.960 you know, in these tournaments. And it's not like Sean 315 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.359 Winter's really out there putting in a huge amount of volume. 316 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.079 You know, he plays a good amount, yes, but he 317 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.519 really focuses on stuff that's five K and higher, ten 318 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:32.160 K and higher. So one, it's not the highest volume. 319 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.039 So you can't just be like, well, it's just volume, 320 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:35.759 that's why he's getting so deep all the time. It's 321 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:39.160 really not that. And then also like the higher the 322 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:43.119 buy in the tougher the competition generally, but Sean Winter, 323 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.279 you know, he's he keeps doing it in terms of 324 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.079 putting himself in position to win one of these, and 325 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.839 he just hasn't yet. We felt this, you know, a 326 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.160 handful of years ago with Jason Kohn for so long 327 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.440 and then he finally got that, he won the twenty 328 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.039 five K heads up finally, right. We felt it for 329 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.519 a while with Seth Davies more recently, maybe a player 330 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.559 that that maybe he's not on the level of maybe 331 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.000 a Jason Coon in terms of like notoriety or a 332 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.799 Shawn Winter in terms of notoriety. But Josh Reiker just 333 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:10.839 won the other day, right, you know, that guy's won 334 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:15.559 everything and he finally got it. Darren Elias is another one. 335 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:17.799 But I think Darren he won an online event, right, So, 336 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.759 I mean, you can say what you want about the 337 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.200 online bracelets, but still got one, right, you know. But 338 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:23.920 so long, it's like, man, is he ever going to 339 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:25.119 get one? Is he ever going to get when? Is 340 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.680 he ever going to get one? And these players are 341 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.279 able to win everywhere else. You know, Shawn Winter's won 342 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:34.279 everywhere else, but he, for whatever reason, he just can't 343 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.559 get the bracelet. He just can't do it, you know. 344 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.480 I think sometimes when we kind of put together these lists, 345 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.079 whether you want to call it the best players a 346 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.160 lot of bracelet or the most notable players with a 347 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.960 lot of bracelet, I think some people out there might say, like, well, 348 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.440 what's missing? Why aren't these people closing? Why why can't 349 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.119 they finish the job? You know? And honestly, it's probably 350 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:58.200 just variance. We all know how good Shawn Winter is. 351 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.079 He's proven he can get there time and time again 352 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.119 that I know. He is a guy who he's often 353 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.599 he's often shorter stacked, you know, and it's kind of 354 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:11.759 a funny little joke with him that you just can't 355 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:13.839 kill the guy. But he's also had plenty of big 356 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.839 stacks plenty of times, right, you know. I remember the 357 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.880 I think it was the was it the two nd 358 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:22.079 fifty K final table either last year or a couple 359 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.720 of years ago or whatever, where he got it in 360 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.440 with kings versus queens. I believe it was against Taylor 361 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.599 von Kregenberg and vob Kregenberger hit a queen that was 362 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.839 with for a ton of the chips in play at 363 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:33.880 the final table. So like stuff like that just just 364 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.359 not going Winter's way. But you have to believe that 365 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.680 if you just consistently keep putting yourself in these situations 366 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.960 and as it pertains to Winter. Here the final three, 367 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.640 the final four, the final five players in WSP events, like, 368 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.720 eventually the cards are going to cooperate things. You know, 369 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.039 the universe is going to align and he's gonna get 370 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.119 his time in the Winter Circle. The resume for Seann 371 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.880 It already says he's one of the most elite tournament 372 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.240 players of his generation and now we are just waiting 373 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.920 on him winning the bracelet. But again it's not going 374 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.759 to come in this twenty five K half and half 375 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.880 because third place finished for him five hundred and forty K. 376 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:17.559 But we're not going to finish this one out or 377 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.519 be able to finish this one out. Here just refreshing 378 00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.440 the page again. These guys are separated by only about 379 00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:26.400 five or six big blinds here, Elis Parson and you 380 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.799 help you the two fins, So we'll have to touch 381 00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:32.240 on that one on the next episode. In the one 382 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:38.799 K Ladies Championship, record turnout in this event, I mean, 383 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.319 what a freaking showing over the Dobyssipe Ladies Championship fourteen 384 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.160 hundred and seventy five entries. That makes it the largest 385 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.160 ever Ladies championship in do Bissip history, easily topping last 386 00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.200 year's record field of thirteen hundred and sixty eight. So 387 00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.400 more than one hundred entries better, almost two hundred thousand 388 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.039 dollars will be going to the winner in this event. 389 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.440 The top two hundred and twenty two places will pay out. 390 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.000 I don't think they are in the money just yet. 391 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.599 It looks like they're about one hundred, one hundred and 392 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:19.079 ten places short of the money. So day two they'll 393 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.240 be getting in the money on this one. Shina Okamoto, 394 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:27.079 the goat aka Shina Okagoto, she busted today, so she's 395 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:28.799 not going to be seeing We're not going to be 396 00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.599 seeing a three peet from her. Remember it's not only 397 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:33.680 just the fact that she's won it the last two years, 398 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:36.359 which is just absolutely ridiculous. But then back in twenty 399 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.200 twenty three she finished second. So twenty twenty three, she 400 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:43.359 gets second, then she gets first, then she gets first again. Unfortunately, 401 00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:46.680
