00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters, and we

3
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 1>are back in the freaking Saddle. I am very sorry

4
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 1>for the missed days of the podcast. As you might

5
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>be able to tell, as you might be able to hear,

6
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I was battling a bit of a sore throat. I'm

7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.439
<v Speaker 1>still battling a bit of a sore throat, a little

8
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>bit of a virus or something ripping through me here.

9
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>So I tried to take a few days off to

10
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 1>get some rest before this became worse. I'm going to

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>power through this episode.

12
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>You know.

13
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>As I've said before, there's nothing I love more than

14
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>doing the podcast, So every time I don't get to

15
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>do it, it does really pain me quite a bit.

16
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 1>You can also probably blame my good friend mister mo

17
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Nuara aka the Moose, because so he made a deep

18
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 1>run in an eleven hundred dollars plo event at Aria

19
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's a good friend of mine. Always got to

20
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>sweat your friends. I got a piece, So after leaving

21
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 1>the WSOP, I go over there to sweat him. He's

22
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>heads up or sorry, he's three handed when I get there.

23
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Then he gets the heads up, he's doing well. Next thing,

24
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's two fifteen in the morning, and I'm like, man,

25
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I really just hate myself. Why am I doing this

26
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to myself? Mo ends up finishing second for forty six

27
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. Great score by him, awesome job, but it

28
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>really messed up my sleep schedule. You know, I don't

29
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of sleep during the summer as is,

30
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>but then throw this on top of it, and it

31
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 1>probably ultimately did me in because I probably could have

32
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 1>used an extra hour or two of sleep if I

33
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 1>was starting to starting to feel it and get a

34
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a virus or something coming on. Always

35
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>go sweat your friends people, no matter what though, even

36
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 1>though if you have to battle through some sickness afterwards.

37
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the best things to do in poker.

38
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 1>It sharing that success with your friends, you know, and

39
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 1>it should be reciprocal. You know, you go sweat them,

40
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 1>they go sweat you. That's just the absolute way to

41
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>do it. It's the best thing to do. So I'm

42
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>happy that I did it. Congratulations to Moe for his score,

43
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, did have some sacrifices that had to be made,

44
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and the pod was up there, so I'm sorry, but

45
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm back.

46
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

47
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Now, last time on this feed, we hit on our

48
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow Rosie winning his fourth bracelet. We had Braydon lou

49
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Kid just out of college, driving across the USA, returning

50
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 1>from college, stops in Vegas rips off his first gold bracelet.

51
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>So all that's in the past, it's said and done.

52
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>We've got some catching up to do. But the first

53
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 1>thing that we have to focus on today, I'm gonna

54
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>run through all the other winners that we've had, but

55
00:02:53.439 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>we cannot not start with the goat mister Nick Schulman, who,

56
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>as of I don't know an hour or so ago,

57
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>won the fifteen hundred dollars horse here at the twenty

58
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty six World Series of Poker, taking home his eighth

59
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>WSP Goald bracelet one hundred and eighty three thousand dollars

60
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>for Shulman. I mean, this guy is just absolutely freaking incredible.

61
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>He had a second place finish already this summer in

62
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>that fifteen hundred dollars Baduga event. He battled, battle, battled,

63
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>ultimately lost out. He had a fifth place finish. I

64
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>believe it was in another tournament he had a the

65
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>fifth place finish was in the ten K Dealer's Choice.

66
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>He had an eighteenth place finish in the twenty five

67
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>k Nolan at hold him, you know, so some close

68
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>calls already, some very close calls with those second place

69
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>in that fifth place finish, but Nick is able to

70
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>get the job done. In the fifteen hundred dollars horse there,

71
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>he topped seven hundred and eighty entry to get the win.

72
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 1>He told Poker News afterwards that he feels like he's

73
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 1>just hitting his prime. And that's kind of a scary

74
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>thing to think about if you're somebody like a Phil Helmuth.

75
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, Phil Hellmuth has got a nice lead

76
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 1>with seventeen goal bracelets. But I mean Nick doesn't look

77
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>like he's slowing down. And if he's going to be

78
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>making final tables at this rate, with how good he is,

79
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>with how well versed he is in all the different games,

80
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 1>i mean, watch out at the top of that bracelet leaderboard.

81
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely watch out after Nick one. I've really never seen

82
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 1>him so elated and excited and being outgoing about the win.

83
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've seen several of his bracelet wins. I've

84
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>seen plenty of other tournament wins of his especially those

85
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>inside the studio, but this one, I don't know. It

86
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>just seemed like it hit a little bit different for Nick.

87
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't have an interview for you guys on this

88
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 1>episode of the podcast, but we did sit down with

89
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Nick afterwards. It was myself and my videographer Antonio Abrego,

90
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and we got some really good stuff with Nick. So

91
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be releasing that at some point over

92
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. I was very open, he was definitely very happy,

93
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>but he got into why he still does this and

94
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>what's kind of driving him. So stay tuned for that.

95
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, it'll get released on all the different social

96
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>media outlets for Poker go so that is coming. But

97
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.279

101
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.480

102
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 1>had in recent years. But he won another gold bracelet.

123
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 1>bracelet for alse Up. He previously won an eight hundred

<v Speaker 1>twenty two for two hundred and seventy two thousand dollars.

126
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>There As you can imagine that eight hund dollars Deep

127
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Stack was a pretty big field twenty eight hundred and

128
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 1>twelve entries in that one. Alsop now moves to second

129
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>on Minnesota's all time money list. Number one on that

130
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>list is Blake Bone. In his winter interview with Poker News,

131
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 1>else Up cited some baby run good. So I guess

132
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>he's got a baby on the way. Maybe he just

133
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 1>had a baby, but either way, baby run good help

134
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 1>propel Alsop here to his largest career live tournament score

135
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 1>now at the final table. If you guys watched it,

136
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 1>I know they did some checking. I'm not sure exactly

137
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>how much they showed of it, but he cracked aces

138
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 1>twice en route to victory, and both times he cracked

139
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>aces it was against sale to Carlo De Carlo ended

140
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>up finishing in second place on the first one. The

141
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.079
<v Speaker 1>first time that Alceup cracked to Carlo's aces, it was

142
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>with five players left. Alsop was all from the button

143
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 1>with King Queen of diamonds to Carlo had aces. In

144
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 1>the big blind it came king nine to five to

145
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>eight king on the river, so trips there on the

146
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>river for alceup. The second time came a bit later

147
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 1>during heads up play. The money got all in on

148
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>eight six four two diamond flop. Alsop had seven six

149
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 1>of spades, so middle pair and a straight draw to

150
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Carlo had the aces. He also had the ace of

151
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>diamonds in hand, so back to a flustraw as well,

152
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 1>turn jack river six for alsup, So once again trips

153
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>on the river for alceup to crack the aces of

154
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Di Carlo. From there, you know, also battled his way

155
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 1>into the chip lead, but the lead did swing back

156
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and forth a few different times. On the final hand,

157
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 1>it was luck on the side of alsup once again

158
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 1>is a seven off beating to Carlo's He's king off

159
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>as seven hit the flop and that was that. So

160
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 1>hard not to feel for sale to Carlo here, you know,

161
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>getting your aces cracked by the same player twice in

162
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 1>the fashion that he did, ultimately getting his money in

163
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>on the final hand with very much the best of

164
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't go his way. Yes, there is luck and poker.

165
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>We all know that, we all believe it's predominantly skilled

166
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>with a little bit of luck, but it is painful

167
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 1>when it doesn't go your way like it didn't for

168
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Sail to Carlo. So Alsup takes home one million, three

169
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>hundred and two thousand dollars for the win to Carlo,

170
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred k for second. Then you had John Ripnik,

171
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Mazzy, Matthew Miller, Pierce McKellar, Kevin Eister, and Nicholas

172
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Angelou rounding out to the final table. Another player that

173
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 1>I did want to mention from this event is Andrew Moreno.

174
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I think is important to do

175
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>in all poker coverage, especially at the World Series of Poker,

176
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 1>is to really try and showcase all different sides of

177
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the game, not not just you know, the winner's photos,

178
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 1>the bracelet ceremonies, the feel good stories, all that sort

179
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of stuff, because there is the other side of the

180
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>grind that does you know, come up, especially during the

181
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 1>World Series when the spotlight is so big on poker

182
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.159
<v Speaker 1>and when there was so much poker being played in

183
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a relatively small window. Moreno this year got eleventh out

184
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 1>of the almost twelve thousand entries for one hundred and

185
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty thousand dollars. He's had a ton of deep runs

186
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.679
<v Speaker 1>in this specific tournament. So eleventh place this year for

187
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty k. Last year he got one

188
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty third out of nine hundred and twenty entries,

189
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the year before that seven hundred and forty seventh out

190
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>of eighty seven hundred entries. The first year post COVID

191
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>SO twenty twenty one, Moreno got two hundred and eighty

192
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>seventh out of thirty five hundred and twenty entries in

193
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>two ninth team forty ninth place out of more than

194
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 1>six thousand entries, and then back in twenty sixteen he

195
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>had a final table run that ultimately ended in sixth

196
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.440
<v Speaker 1>place out of six nine hundred and twenty seven players.

197
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>So now you know the eleventh place finished out of

198
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 1>almost twelve thousand entries. That's that's a solid six figure score,

199
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in the bank for

200
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Andrew ma Reno. Incredible accomplishment, right, But when you're a professional,

201
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and a seasoned, experienced professional like Moreno is and somebody

202
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 1>who's trying to win the whole thing. You get that close,

203
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 1>you probably start to feel it. I'm sure that it

204
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>can also be incredibly painful in a way. We were

205
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 1>following Moreno, you know, throughout the later stages of this tournament,

206
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 1>and he was kind enough to, you know, kind of

207
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 1>close the book on it all. You know. He joined

208
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.399
<v Speaker 1>us afterwards for a really thoughtful conversation about perspective. He

209
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 1>touched on his process, why he still loves the game,

210
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, despite having another mirror, and you're missed like this,

211
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>So let's hear from Andrew Marino.

212
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Now, all right, Andrew, close call to the Monster Stack

213
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 3>final table. But again, I know poker has obviously it's

214
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.240
<v Speaker 3>ups and its down. Just talk to me about what

215
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 3>you're feeling in this post.

216
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I want to fly home right now

217
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 4>and see my family and my kids. So they're supposed

218
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 4>to come and see me. I came for a few

219
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 4>weeks by myself, and I just missed them terribly. It's

220
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 4>it's the only thing I think that'll make me feel better.

221
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.799
<v Speaker 4>So I'm gonna consider. I'm going to sleep on it,

222
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 4>and I might leave in the morning or I don't know.

223
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure.

224
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>When you bust aternament like that close to the final table.

225
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, you walk away with a six figure pay

226
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 3>day on one hand, which is a really good score,

227
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 3>but also you know you're someone who I think prides

228
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 3>yourself on winning, right, you know when you get to

229
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 3>that stage, how does that mind shift shift and to

230
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.440
<v Speaker 3>be like, Okay, now is time. Now I have my shot,

231
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm ten spots away or whatever it is, can actually

232
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:58.440
<v Speaker 3>winning this whole thing?

233
00:12:59.240 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

234
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't really think about how far away I am

235
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.799
<v Speaker 4>when I'm in a tournament. I'm mostly just focus on

236
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.399
<v Speaker 4>all the factors at the table. Who's in the stack distribution?

237
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 4>What should my strategy be based on the chip distribution?

238
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, there will be the thought of can I

239
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 4>or should I position myself to ladder or potentially get

240
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 4>a big stack and try to become the chip leader,

241
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 4>So I kind of think about It's weird, like I

242
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.000
<v Speaker 4>didn't really think at all about the final table, not

243
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.080
<v Speaker 4>I didn't think about the money or anything.

244
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:37.519
<v Speaker 2>I was mostly just trying to.

245
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 4>Just like really lean into the moment and just kind

246
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 4>of feel what was happening at the table.

247
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 3>You've had a sixth place finish in this Sponsor Stack

248
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker 3>event before, and a few other deep runs as well.

249
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 3>This time around almost twelve thousand entries. When did it

250
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 3>start to feel Okay, maybe I'm going to start making

251
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 3>a run, Maybe it's.

252
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Going to happen again. Yeah.

253
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 4>So, going on day three, I lost half my stack

254
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.799
<v Speaker 4>on the first hand, and I realized that if I

255
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 4>just kind of play solid and not get into some

256
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.519
<v Speaker 4>of these close spots that I had been getting into,

257
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.240
<v Speaker 4>people were giving me extra lives. Basically, they were so

258
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 4>many mistakes that were being made, and I was able

259
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 4>to just kind of extend my tournament so many different

260
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 4>times just from people making errors. And then I at

261
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 4>the end of the third night, I caught some great hands,

262
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.759
<v Speaker 4>made a wild bluff, got caught, and realized my little

263
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 4>bit of equity to win the pot. And at that

264
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 4>point I thought, okay, something might happen here.

265
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Ten years ago is when you came at sixth past

266
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 3>board And now, how have you changed as a player.

267
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's weird. I think I feel so much more

268
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 4>in control now. I don't even think I'm a very

269
00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 4>aggressive or loose player. Most people think I am. I

270
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 4>probably am. I just feel so in control now, whereas

271
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 4>before it was I was a lot more feel based

272
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.039
<v Speaker 4>it's like I don't think this guy has it, or

273
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I feel like this guy's overdoing it, And now I'm

274
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 4>a lot more rooted in theory and I feel more

275
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 4>calm in general.

276
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that's because of how much you put

277
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 3>into study. I mean, I saw on social media the

278
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:25.879
<v Speaker 3>other day he said, this is why I study so much,

279
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.840
<v Speaker 3>so that I'm constantly aware of like what the theory is,

280
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 3>what ranges are playing against, what ranges. So has that

281
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 3>comfortability come from all that practice that you put in

282
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 3>off the film?

283
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think putting in all the practice off the

284
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 4>felt it's It's one of those things I always thought

285
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 4>when I look at I always thought of a guy

286
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.320
<v Speaker 4>like Kobe Bryant. I always wanted to be like that.

287
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to be the guy that was going to

288
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:49.679
<v Speaker 4>outwork everyone else.

289
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 2>And just.

290
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 4>As long as I knew that I was in the

291
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.759
<v Speaker 4>gym sweating my balls off, like working harder than everyone else,

292
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 4>if I was losing in the game, I really care

293
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.960
<v Speaker 4>because I knew that I was just going to go

294
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 4>do that over and over again, and I just did

295
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.679
<v Speaker 4>it for me to have peace. That way, I could

296
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker 4>have bad variants, bad results and still feel okay, about.

297
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:16.519
<v Speaker 3>It's going to grind. About studying poker over and over again,

298
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.840
<v Speaker 3>doing it for so many hours, Like how do you

299
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 3>find the motivation to just keep doing.

300
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I actually enjoy it now and I switch it up.

301
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 4>I have a couple different ways that I study, and

302
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 4>I think, you know, it's kind of like going to

303
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 4>the gym. Some people, you know, they like getting on

304
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 4>the peloton, some people like kickboxing classes, some people like

305
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 4>hot yoga. I think you just have to find a

306
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.519
<v Speaker 4>way for you to study that feels enjoyable. I will

307
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.720
<v Speaker 4>say that I think there needs to be active studying.

308
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 4>Enjoyable study can be you know, watching a Poker Go

309
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 4>final table for me and having a computer up and

310
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.440
<v Speaker 4>just kind of looking at things, but actually doing active

311
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 4>studying where I'm you know, looking at hand.

312
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Ranges or even some solves.

313
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 4>Because I think it's real easy to like watch a

314
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 4>training video or listen to a podcast and all that

315
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 4>can help too. But I just think there's definitely there

316
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 4>needs to be an emphasis on really doing an active studying.

317
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 3>This tournament had a lot of I guess extracurricular things

318
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 3>going on. You guys are moved up onto the stage,

319
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 3>you get moved to a stream table at one point.

320
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.119
<v Speaker 3>You know, a lot of shuffling like that. There's bright lights,

321
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.400
<v Speaker 3>there's cameras. Now at this stage of your career, are

322
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.559
<v Speaker 3>you kind of imputed to that sort of stuff and

323
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.799
<v Speaker 3>you just get in your comfort zone and lock in.

324
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I actually like it because I think it's a

325
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.799
<v Speaker 4>competitive advantage for me because I've played on so many

326
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:41.319
<v Speaker 4>stream tables, and I know what that can do to

327
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 4>someone if they're not used to it. Not just you know,

328
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.160
<v Speaker 4>the lights and you know the pressure, but just the

329
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 4>fear that comes along with making a mistake and having

330
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:51.240
<v Speaker 4>other people see it.

331
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>So I think people are going to perform worse.

332
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.640
<v Speaker 4>And I like it because I write down pretty much

333
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 4>all my hands anyway, So if I'm gonna stream, it's

334
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.960
<v Speaker 4>just less work for me.

335
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I can just you know, I don't have to write

336
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>down anything, So it's good.

337
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 3>How do you balance a feeling after a run like

338
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.960
<v Speaker 3>this between satisfaction because ultimately you did have a nice

339
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 3>financial sport, but also maybe that disappointment of coming up

340
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:17.519
<v Speaker 3>when it was short.

341
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:18.039
<v Speaker 5>Of the ultimate part.

342
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, disappointment in poker is you know something that I

343
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.039
<v Speaker 4>think I would be really interested to hear other people

344
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.119
<v Speaker 4>talk about it because I.

345
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:30.000
<v Speaker 2>It's such a hard thing.

346
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.839
<v Speaker 4>Anyone out there watching poker or watching this, they probably

347
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 4>enjoy poker. They've gone to the casino, lost a big pot,

348
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:44.240
<v Speaker 4>and the emotion behind that and the feelings behind it,

349
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 4>it's hard to articulate. For me personally, I think I've

350
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.920
<v Speaker 4>done a really good job of learning how to be

351
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 4>gentle with myself when I feel like I did make

352
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 4>a mistake, and I have a lot of compassion and

353
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 4>empathy for myself because I work really hard. I think

354
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.480
<v Speaker 4>if if I didn't work hard, I would have a

355
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:07.200
<v Speaker 4>lot less empathy for myself because I yeah, I think

356
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 4>that preparedness really allows me to be a lot kinder

357
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 4>to myself.

358
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.400
<v Speaker 3>What keeps the fire alive to keep coming back, because

359
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, in poker terms, you can kind of get

360
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.119
<v Speaker 3>your teeth kicked in a lot of it sometimes and

361
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.440
<v Speaker 3>it's not always super fun, but other times it is

362
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 3>the lady right. But what keeps striving?

363
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.599
<v Speaker 4>I just love I'm a poker guy, Like I love

364
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:31.240
<v Speaker 4>the game so much. It's like when I'm sitting at

365
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.440
<v Speaker 4>a poker table, I'm always trying to think, like can

366
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 4>I bluff this hand?

367
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Should I be all in?

368
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 4>What happened, Like, is there anything creative I can try

369
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.119
<v Speaker 4>to find? I'm really trying to think about what other

370
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.359
<v Speaker 4>people are doing and how can.

371
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I exploit them?

372
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 4>And I think being in that creative and yeah, just

373
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:53.880
<v Speaker 4>more like playful mindset, I think that's when I really

374
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:55.279
<v Speaker 4>feel like, oh my god.

375
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.519
<v Speaker 2>I love this.

376
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.039
<v Speaker 4>And I think when I I had periods in my

377
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 4>career where I was going on or things weren't going well,

378
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.079
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like it's more like being in survival

379
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.680
<v Speaker 4>and it's really I think one of the first things

380
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 4>to go in when that happens is creativity. So as

381
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.119
<v Speaker 4>long as I'm just like sitting there being creative and

382
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 4>having opportunities also competing against tough competition, I absolutely love

383
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 4>testing myself against some of these great players and all

384
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:23.640
<v Speaker 4>that stuff combined, I think is what I love about poker.

385
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 3>I gotta ask you about your final hand. A little

386
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 3>bit of a nitrole, I guess by the guy with

387
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:31.279
<v Speaker 3>the queens. You made kind of a comment that he's

388
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, gave you a little bit of a speech

389
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.319
<v Speaker 3>like let's go through your mind in that moment.

390
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 4>It didn't bother me at all. I like to bust

391
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:43.920
<v Speaker 4>people's balls. I was like, I was like, buddy, don't

392
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 4>speak to me with queens. Come on, you got queens,

393
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, because I just recognize that it's, you know,

394
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.039
<v Speaker 4>gonna happen the way that it does, and it's just

395
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.279
<v Speaker 4>up to the universe, and it was his time, you know,

396
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 4>and it was richest time and everyone else's and good

397
00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:58.920
<v Speaker 4>for them.

398
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.640
<v Speaker 3>When you look back on a run like this and

399
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the runs that you've had in your career,

400
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.240
<v Speaker 3>is it more a feeling of while that was a

401
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.039
<v Speaker 3>near miss or are you thinking I consistently keep putting

402
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.720
<v Speaker 3>myself in position to win.

403
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

404
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Mostly, I'm just trying to think what am I doing

405
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 4>well and what do I think I need to improve on?

406
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.480
<v Speaker 4>And I think I did a lot of things really

407
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.000
<v Speaker 4>well in this tournament. And I also know there were

408
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 4>a couple of things that I really took from this

409
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:27.519
<v Speaker 4>experience and I'm gonna do better with in the future.

410
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:29.559
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I just look back on it and try

411
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.559
<v Speaker 4>to find the useful pieces and not try to make

412
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.039
<v Speaker 4>up too much about the result.

413
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.200
<v Speaker 3>You talked about possibly going home missing the family. What

414
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:38.799
<v Speaker 3>can we expect from you the rest of the summer.

415
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, some people ask me about if I was going

416
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.759
<v Speaker 4>to play a bunch this summer, and you know, because

417
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.559
<v Speaker 4>of the Fantasy Draft, and I like that people don't

418
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 4>really count on me because I just like, I want

419
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 4>to do whatever I feel like.

420
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't really feel like playing. I might feel like playing.

421
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.759
<v Speaker 4>In the morning, but yeah, I just like to be

422
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 4>able to come and go as I please and.

423
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Just be pretty relaxed about the whole vent.

424
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Moving on to the two K no limit hold them,

425
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Braxton Dunaway, or as he's known as be done top

426
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:21.839
<v Speaker 1>day field of nine hundred and sixty eight entries to

427
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 1>win two hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars his second

428
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.319
<v Speaker 1>w Sop gold a bracelet. And then speaking of the

429
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Monster Sac that we just talked about in twenty twenty three,

430
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.799
<v Speaker 1>that's the tournament that done Away won for one million,

431
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars. And of course

432
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.279
<v Speaker 1>we all know how Dunaway finished third last year in

433
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 1>the ws we made event behind Michael Msrocky and John Woznik,

434
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and Dunaway cashed in that one for four million dollars.

435
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Here at this final table was done Away on top

436
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned that two hundred and eighty eight K that

437
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:58.839
<v Speaker 1>he won Irwin Pshot second place, Jannive Peretz third place,

438
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:05.759
<v Speaker 1>Brian Alvarez fourth place, Kimon Fon Fontukitis. I'm gonna butcher

439
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 1>all these names, and it doesn't help that my throat's

440
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.759
<v Speaker 1>not working. Fifth place for him, six was Albert Calderon.

441
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Ionis Canapopoulos. Probably butchered that one too, I'm sorry. Seventh place,

442
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Sammy besha Head eighth place, Ivan por Lev ninth place.

443
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Another player that added to his bracelet tally is Bryce

444
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Yaki a third piece of ws AP hardware for him.

445
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Yaki top one hundred and sixty three entries in the

446
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 1>ten K Dealers Choice Championship, scooping up three hundred and

447
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>seventy one thousand dollars. In twenty seventeen, Yaki won the

448
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:43.240
<v Speaker 1>ten k PLO High Low Championship, and then in twenty

449
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty four he won the five k PLO. He had

450
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.799
<v Speaker 1>a really nice quote after his win. This was told

451
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>too Poker News. He said, I've wanted to win this

452
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:56.000
<v Speaker 1>tournament for a really long time. In terms of like

453
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.279
<v Speaker 1>mixed game tournaments, this one's really unique because there's just

454
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of strategy beyond just playing the game that

455
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:05.160
<v Speaker 1>goes into it. People actually try to choose games to

456
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:08.160
<v Speaker 1>target you, whatever they think you're bad at, whatever they

457
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.480
<v Speaker 1>think they have an edge air sorry, whatever they think

458
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 1>they have an advantage at. Part of the game is

459
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 1>also just learning to play that game too and just

460
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 1>avoiding them in those situations when you can. I wanted

461
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 1>to win this one for a long time. A very

462
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>very very prestigious tournament at the World Series Bober. You

463
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 1>know it's probably main event fifty KPBC and then probably

464
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.200
<v Speaker 1>this one to be honest, So shout out to Bryce Jockey.

465
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.440
<v Speaker 1>There three hundred and seventy one k for him in

466
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 1>first place. Pretty stacked final table here, Ryan Miller second place,

467
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Jake Schwartz third place, Chad eve Sledge fourth place. Nick Shulman.

468
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.839
<v Speaker 1>We already talked about his fifth place finish in this

469
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 1>one second final table of the summer at the time

470
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:50.920
<v Speaker 1>for Shulman after getting second in that padugie, but we

471
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.079
<v Speaker 1>now know that he had a third final table and

472
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 1>ultimately got the win and that fifteen hundred dollars horse

473
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.279
<v Speaker 1>and then Jeremy Osmas rounded out this final table with

474
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a sixth place finish. Was also the second final table

475
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:05.519
<v Speaker 1>this WSP for Osmis. He also got fourth in the

476
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>ten K Stud Championship. It is one oh seven am,

477
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.440
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I did not shout out at the

478
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.359
<v Speaker 1>time on Saturday, June thirteenth, and there's a chance that

479
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Osmus makes another final table. He was down to the

480
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 1>final two tables in the ten K Limit Hold'em Championship.

481
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Brent Gregory was the winner of the six hundred dollars

482
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>half and half Nolan hold Him Slash Pot Limit Omaha.

483
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 1>He topped a field of more than thirty three hundred

484
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.119
<v Speaker 1>entries to pick up two hundred and four thousand dollars

485
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and his first gold bracelet. He denied Maurice Hawkins a bracelet,

486
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 1>with Hawkins finishing in second place. Not only was Hawkins

487
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.480
<v Speaker 1>at this final table, but Daniel Legrando was there, Alex

488
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Foxon was there, and Josh Reichard was there. Hawkins took

489
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:51.759
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars for his second

490
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.880
<v Speaker 1>place finished. Reichard got third for just under one hundred k,

491
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>fox In fifth for fifty five K. Nigrany eighth for

492
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty four thousand, three hundred dollars. Hawkins busted Negranu in

493
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 1>eighth place and a pretty wild hand of plo. They

494
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 1>get it all on pre flop Nigrowaney's got King Queen

495
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>nine to seven, King Queen of Hearts nine to seven

496
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of clubs. He's up against the ace ace jack deuce

497
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 1>and Hawkins was suited with the jack deuce in diamonds.

498
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 1>When the money goes in pre I did look up

499
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the odds, shout out to the card player odds calculator.

500
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 1>But Hawkins is a little bit over fifty seven percent

501
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to win. Negron New is a little bit under forty

502
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>three percent to win. Flop comes six four to four

503
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:38.799
<v Speaker 1>with two hearts does give a flushtraw to negron New,

504
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 1>but he's still just thirty four point six percent versus

505
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the sixty five point four percent four Hawkins turn though

506
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 1>bang heart ten of hearts, that makes negron Neu a

507
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 1>whopping ninety percent favorite in a pan of plos so

508
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 1>nine times out of ten, the river card is going

509
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>to give Negroanney the double up and keep him alive.

510
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.519
<v Speaker 1>But the river here is the six six six four

511
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of spades so four four four on the board that

512
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.319
<v Speaker 1>allows Hawkins's aces to play as a full house and

513
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>he Ko's Daniel mcgrad in eighth. Santos Servanna did it

514
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>again in a high roller field. This time it was

515
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 1>the fifty K high Roller. He topped a field of

516
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and sixty seven entries, winning JASHI of two

517
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. It was the third Divisip Gold bracelet for Santos.

518
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 1>He previously won the fifty thousand euro Diamond high Roller

519

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>top India's all time moneyless and it's a giant lead.

523
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Santos has won more than twenty two point six million dollars.

524
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:54.400

526
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 1>that list. At this final table was Santoch on top

00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:37.519
<v Speaker 1>great start to his summer fourth place in this event

539

<v Speaker 1>pretty great start to your summer for Chris Brewer. Fifth

549
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.319

550
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 1>he won the twenty five K POO at the World

551
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.319
<v Speaker 1>Series of Poker here in Vegas. He told Poker News

552
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:25.640
<v Speaker 1>after before this year, I mostly played PLO. I tested

553
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:28.039
<v Speaker 1>the waters last year in some of the fifteen hundred

554
00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 1>dollars mixed games. I studied a little bit, and it's

555
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.200
<v Speaker 1>fun to play them. So this one feels different. It

556
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>feels and it feels fun. It's basically what he said.

557
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>It's always great to see players, you know, kind of

558
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:42.079
<v Speaker 1>branch out to other games, and you know, it seems

559
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:44.720
<v Speaker 1>like Weiss has a knack for things. I always say,

560
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:47.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you if you just are good at poker,

561
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.599
<v Speaker 1>even if it's just one variant, you just probably have

562
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:51.519
<v Speaker 1>that type of mind that you can probably learn other

563
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 1>variants pretty well and pick them up at least to

564
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.519
<v Speaker 1>a capacity where you're able to perform well in tournaments.

565
00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>And then maybe you know, you catch a hot streak.

566
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Next thing you know, you know you're in the Winter circle.

567
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 1>So why he's taking home one hundred and thirty three

568
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.319
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars for his win. Omar Ma Mood took second

569
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>for eighty eight thousand. Ronnie barta good friend of mine,

570

<v Speaker 1>you guys know, you know, Ronnie part is a good

573
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:21.440
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine, you know, I know he really wanted

574
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>this title. How much he loves Limit Hold Him plays

575
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.160
<v Speaker 1>it all the damn time. He might play it the

576
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.519
<v Speaker 1>most out of anyone in the world, especially live, which

577
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 1>is pretty crazy. He plays it pretty much every single

578
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>day up in the Bay Area. He won the twenty

579
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.759
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars six Max Limit Hold Him back in

580
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:39.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty twelve. He has a few other Ubasity final tables

581
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in Limit Hold Them similar to Andrew Moreno before in

582
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the Monster Stack, we were following Ronnie Barda. We had

583
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.640
<v Speaker 1>him miked up, you know, so after we busted, we

584
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>put an interview out there on social media. You guys

585
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 1>can check that out on the Coca Goro channels. But

586
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:55.279
<v Speaker 1>after he busted, you know, we talked with him a

587
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit and I wanted to just pull the clip

588
00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 1>on why he loves Limit Hold Him so much, because

589
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.119
<v Speaker 1>it to many it's dying game, but to Ronnie Barto,

590
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it's very much alive, and he even wants more of it.

591
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:09.319
<v Speaker 1>So here's Ronnie Barta talking about why he loves Limit

592
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.359
<v Speaker 1>hold Them so much.

593
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:13.000
<v Speaker 5>First of all, the people that play Limit Hold Them

594
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.200
<v Speaker 5>are just quite characters. I mean, obviously the whole poker

595
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:17.359
<v Speaker 5>world are full of characters, but in a sense, mixed

596
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 5>games and Limit hold Them bring a special crew. And

597
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 5>you know, yeah, I've been playing this game since two

598
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:28.359
<v Speaker 5>thousand and three, you know, and going back and forth

599
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:29.960
<v Speaker 5>from Limit hold Them and no Limit hold Them, Limit

600
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.440
<v Speaker 5>hold Them, no Limit hold Them. I just love Limit

601
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.519
<v Speaker 5>hold Him. I don't know I did that didn't really

602
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:39.720
<v Speaker 5>answer what your question. I would say it's a combination

603
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:43.680
<v Speaker 5>of like just getting thin value and making big folds.

604
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 5>And you know, they change his format to seven handed,

605
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 5>which is pretty cool.

606
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:49.799
<v Speaker 2>You know.

607
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:52.000
<v Speaker 5>I told Jack Effel in my last interview. I didn't

608
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:54.440
<v Speaker 5>tell him personally, but to you guys, I mean, getting

609
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 5>rid of the six match broke my heart. I love

610
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 5>Limit Hold Him because it's like it's just war like

611
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.559
<v Speaker 5>check raising faces on the river, getting thin value, you know,

612
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.799
<v Speaker 5>just outclassing your opponents, and it's a it's a game

613
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:11.079
<v Speaker 5>of intuition, and a lot of people underestimate Limit hold Them.

614
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:13.119
<v Speaker 5>They're like you can't bluff and Limit hold Them. But

615
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.400
<v Speaker 5>there's so much bluffing going on and limit hold Them.

616
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.599
<v Speaker 5>There's so much thin value and it really strengthens your

617
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 5>hand reading abilities when it comes to playing no limit

618
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.000
<v Speaker 5>because you see so many hands go to showdown and

619
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:28.079
<v Speaker 5>I know the bets are for men, but you get

620
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:31.559
<v Speaker 5>to feel how a player reacts when they actually make

621
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:34.079
<v Speaker 5>their hands and they're You're on the river a lot

622
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:34.920
<v Speaker 5>in limit hold Them.

623
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:35.839
<v Speaker 2>So fuck.

624
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:37.920
<v Speaker 5>I just love the game. I caught my teeth that

625
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.119
<v Speaker 5>Fox was playing it. It's the first time I started

626
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:43.839
<v Speaker 5>to play, right after seven Cards stud But yeah, I

627
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 5>just wanted to be a best, to be the best

628
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.400
<v Speaker 5>at something. I mean, losing here was I'm not feeling

629
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:50.880
<v Speaker 5>it quite yet, you know it to my second third

630
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.400
<v Speaker 5>place on the limit hold Them event. It's my third

631
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:57.240
<v Speaker 5>final table in the last three years or four years.

632
00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.440
<v Speaker 5>We get the ten K limit hold them tomorrow. They

633
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.759
<v Speaker 5>only offer two events now. I mean we had before

634
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.599
<v Speaker 5>the no limit Chris Moneymaker booms half the tournaments a

635
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 5>limit hold him. You had a shootout, you had a

636
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:08.519
<v Speaker 5>fifteen hundred, you had a one K, you had a

637
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 5>two K, a three K at three K, six max,

638
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.240
<v Speaker 5>a five K, a ten k, and probably another fifteen

639
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.279
<v Speaker 5>hundred you know. And the fields are big, five hundred

640
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 5>and ten players is not bad. And we get a

641
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:20.440
<v Speaker 5>lot of new plood that comes into the game. And

642
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 5>like this man here, Dennis, he's a PLO German pro.

643
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:26.720
<v Speaker 5>He fucking loves the game and he's gonna come back.

644
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:29.480
<v Speaker 5>And we've had a lot of every tournament kid who

645
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.519
<v Speaker 5>final table registered on accident.

646
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>You know.

647
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.359
<v Speaker 5>We have one of those that happened constantly, and the

648
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:35.960
<v Speaker 5>guy absolutely loved it.

649
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:36.799
<v Speaker 2>He's going to be back.

650
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:38.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it's a dead game whatsoever.

651
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I love limit holding.

652
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:52.599
<v Speaker 1>The fifteen dollars super Turbo bounty. I played it. I

653
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>put two bullets in. They did not work out Mike Holtz,

654
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:59.160
<v Speaker 1>though it certainly worked out for him. He topped all

655
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one, one hundred and three injuries to

656

657
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>an online player is Mike Holtz. He already had an

658
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.480
<v Speaker 1>online bracelet, but he did say he wanted to win

659
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:13.559
<v Speaker 1>a live one. That first bracelet of his came in

660
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two in the seven hundred and seventy seven

661
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.239

662
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:23.760
<v Speaker 1>The two hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars score is

663
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the largest live tournament score and first six figure live

664
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>score for Mike Holts. Mike is a co host of

665
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the Poker News podcast. The Poker News podcast that I'm

666
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.920
<v Speaker 1>scheduled to be on on Monday, so you guys can

667
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.039
<v Speaker 1>stay tuned for that on their feeds. But he told

668
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Poker News afterwards, he said, I've always wanted a live bracelet.

669
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>There is sort of a stigma with the online bracelet, like, oh,

670
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah, fuck them, baby, Daddy's got two now.

671
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Mike is an absolute, crazy, colorful character. After he won,

672
00:34:56.559 --> 00:35:00.599
<v Speaker 1>he was yelling things about, you know, somebody tell them Hawkins,

673
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that's how you close, or whatever the heck he said.

674
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Maurice Hawkins came on the Poker News podcast, which had

675
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Holloway with Mike Holts, and they had a pretty combative

676
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.519
<v Speaker 1>back and forth about all of Maurice Hawkins's situations and

677
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 1>the allegations surrounding him. So that then spawned, you know,

678
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:18.880
<v Speaker 1>some shouting from Mike Colts here when he ended up

679
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:22.159
<v Speaker 1>getting first later on in the evening, on the same

680
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>night that Maurice Hawkins got second, so just crazy stuff.

681
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Holtz beat may Siatu probably butchered that name and I'm

682

684
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:40.719

00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.199
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it for all the winners. Oh no, we

704
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.239
<v Speaker 1>during heads up play. Blond had a big chip lead.

705

<v Speaker 1>three handed, had believe he had the chip lead heads

707
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:55.360

712
00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:15.679

714
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Lonis, Dylan Smith, and Jerry Wong. It does look

715
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like we lost phil Ivey. It does look like we

716
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:32.280
<v Speaker 1>lost Daniel Legrand who It does look like we lost

717
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.440
<v Speaker 1>josh Aria along the way. So some heavy hitters there

718
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:40.159

722
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Esther Taylor in fifteenth, and yeah, I mean that's a

723
00:37:55.159 --> 00:38:00.039
<v Speaker 1>pretty sick sick field. These guys will be back on

728
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:17.199
<v Speaker 1>He's going for gold bracelet number nine, I believe. And

729
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:21.079
<v Speaker 1>that's just freaking incredible that Benny Glaser's got Damny Demn bracelets.

730
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is another absolute freaking crusher out there.

731
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 1>The fifteen hundred dollars pot limit Omaha is down to

732
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.960
<v Speaker 1>fifteen players from two thousand, five hundred and eighty one.

733
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Jason zip Fell is up on top. Jason, I forget

734
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:40.320
<v Speaker 1>what does he go by. He goes by another name.

735
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Man.

736
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I should know this because he played on cash Flow.

737
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:48.280
<v Speaker 1>He's played on Venetian Poker Live. I forget his name.

738
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 1>He plays on the table one game all the time.

739
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.320
<v Speaker 1>He's definitely a cash game player. Last year he needed

740
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:56.199
<v Speaker 1>to finish in a certain place in a Venetian poker

741
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.159
<v Speaker 1>tournament to get unstuck for the summer, and he ended

742
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.199
<v Speaker 1>up doing it, so pretty crazy. There didn't even know

743
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:03.599
<v Speaker 1>he really played plo. But here he is chip leading

744
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.119
<v Speaker 1>the final fifteen entering the final day of play. Here

745
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Will Givens is in second place. Pretty crazy story about

746
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Will Givens. So he joined my table in the seventeen

747
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars US circuit event and he starts talking about

748
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>how it's his first time back at the WSB, his

749
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.960
<v Speaker 1>first tournament back was that one that thereas to be

750
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:22.840
<v Speaker 1>in four years and we're like, okay, why He says

751
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.559
<v Speaker 1>he was banned from the World Series of Boker or

752
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 1>from all series properties or something. Something happened in the pit.

753
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.920
<v Speaker 1>He got accused of something. He said that he didn't

754
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:34.840
<v Speaker 1>do it. It was a whole thing. He explained that

755
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he fought with Caesars. Or he tried tried to write letters,

756
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:40.159
<v Speaker 1>which they always say, you just have to write a letter.

757
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you have to write a letter? He kept trying

758
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to write letters, nothing ever happened. Finally he got a

759
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.639
<v Speaker 1>lawyer and I said, oh, you know, and he said, yeah,

760
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you just have to get a lawyer. I said, so,

761
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:49.800
<v Speaker 1>what was the time between when you got a lawyer

762
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and when you got you know, allowed to come back?

763
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:55.320
<v Speaker 1>And he's like three weeks. I was like, oh damn.

764
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:57.719
<v Speaker 1>So you basically sat out almost a full four years

765
00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and all you had to do was.

766
00:39:58.800 --> 00:39:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Get a lawyer.

767
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 1>For whatever reason, the lawyer was able to work the

768
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:07.679
<v Speaker 1>right channels, make the right case, whatever it was. But

769
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it worked out for Will Gibbons and he is now

770
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:12.480
<v Speaker 1>back at the World Series of Poker and here he

771
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:16.039
<v Speaker 1>is two to fifteen in this fifteen hundred dollars plo

772
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:18.599
<v Speaker 1>of and Max Coleman is also in there. Nick Unie

773
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:21.199
<v Speaker 1>is in there as well. These guys are vying for

774
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:25.719
<v Speaker 1>a four hundred and forty thousand dollars first place prize.

775
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:29.639
<v Speaker 1>The five thousand dollars Seniors high Roller kicked off today

776
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and won't get too much into that, still very early,

777
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 1>and then the fifteen hundred dollars raz also kicked off,

778
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>also not going to get too much into this one,

779
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>because well, you know, it's early day one and it's

780
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:43.800
<v Speaker 1>ras and that's that. I think my umble voice made

781
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 1>it through. I'm not really sure. It feels like it's

782
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:48.920
<v Speaker 1>going in and out. Hopefully it sounded good for you guys,

783

790
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:11.400
<v Speaker 1>talk to Nick after he got the job done. It's

791
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>always it's never really easy to, you know, go up

792
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.880
<v Speaker 1>to these players. You know, they they just played a

793
