Seth Davies took first place in the two 15 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.480 hundred and fifty K Super high Roller. Tyler Patterson won 16 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.319 the three K six Max.

There was a twenty five K plo. 21 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.480 They kicked off. There's a seniors event that kicked off. 22 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.920 I mean there's just just tons of stuff. I mean 23 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.120 I walked in your same amount say yeah, you know, 24 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.040 I walked in here today and stuff was just wild, 25 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.439 absolutely wild. So we're gonna touch on it all. How 26 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.920 you doing, I'm doing great. Five winners can complain, I 27 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.400 can complain, and I will complain right after bat. Why 28 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.079 are there five winners today and none yesterday? Makes zero 29 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.519 sense to me? It look well what it does get 30 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.400 variance variant? Why wouldn't you Why would you, like I said, 31 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.400 win one winner at least every single day, and and 32 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.120 when there are times when you want to really highlight 33 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.960 a winner, like, for example, on the day when the 34 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.280 Ladies Championship has a winner, no other winners's let that 35 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.280 one shine. That's fair Like that, I would say the 36 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.879 same thing with the seniors championship. Let that one shine, 37 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.280 super high roller, you could do the same sort of thing. 38 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.879 Let that one shine. But what happens when an event 39 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.960 takes too long? We needs an extra day? Throws up? 40 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.879 If that happens, yes, but that was not the case 41 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.479 for yesterday and today. It was just that there was 42 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.719 no winners yesterday and there were five winners today. 43 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.560 Okay, yeah, you know it is. 44 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.400 It is a little weird, you know, like we've kind 45 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:45.840 of touched on. 46 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:46.719 We have to give. 47 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.199 W spate a little. 48 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:49.439 Bit of the day. 49 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.560 It's not easy putting on the schedule together one hundred events. 50 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:52.199 Let's be honest. 51 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.759 Come on, No, I did I ever say it was easy. 52 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.439 Where they fall?

And then also 118 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.399 Triton Montenegro second in the two under k Invitational for 119 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.120 almost four point two million dollars. Yep, like I said, 120 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.439 absolute freaking rocket ship to the moon for Seth Davies. 121 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.519 This guy, like I said, he's been grinding four years. 122 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.160 In fact, you have a story. 123 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:36.600 About it? 124 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:37.800 Can I say it? 125 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.639 Yes, I'm hearing you the okay, all right, apologies in 126 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.000 advance to uh you know to There's no I read 127 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:44.839 the story ahead of time. 128 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.319 There is no way that that person shared that story 129 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:52.120 with you without like knowing that we were going to 130 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.240 share it. And listen, if if we get yelled at, 131 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.680 I mean, I'll take the bullet, all right, blame it 132 00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:57.959 on me. 133 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.720 Okay, this is from Maco Johnson is on your third place, 134 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.480 and I will get touch on that funny story. But 135 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:03.959 that might not be out there. I lived with Seth 136 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.199 in Mexico for a year about fifteen years ago. He 137 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.399 was grinding small online tournaments with more work ethic than 138 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.040 anyone I've ever met. When I won my first bracet, 139 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.439 I was living with him, and I paid for a 140 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.839 yacht and we invited all these girls who worked at 141 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.240 a bai rash on on the beach. We always went 142 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.160 to him player. He met his wife that day and 143 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:22.839 now I'm married. 144 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.279 They have a kid. I love Seth. 145 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.600 Nobody has a more impressive path than him in my opinion. Yeah, 146 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:29.360 that's pretty cool. 147 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.959 Nothing wrong with that story. You can blame it on. 148 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.439 I mean, Will, don't send the story and then go 149 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.800 to bed Marco. That's just how it goes because we're 150 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.639 doing the podcast at twelve thirty am. Yeah, but as 151 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.759 Marco said, as I'm about to say, as I think 152 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.759 Tim would agree, Seth Davies has been grinding for years, years, 153 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.800 years years. He is a very sharp, a very professional player. 154 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.600 He's pretty down to earth overall. It seems like a 155 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.439 normal dude. You know, he's not really loud and boisterous. 156 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.680 I don't think he seeks the spot light, even though 157 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.920 he does end up in it. You know, at least 158 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.800 plenty of times. You know, as of late, he's had 159 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.480 plenty of success before he had a WPT win. He's 160 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.480 obviously won stuff in the studio. He's had big cashes before, 161 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.079 you know, deep runs, big scores, all that sort of stuff. 162 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.959 But as I mentioned, these last like twenty four months 163 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.560 have really been Seth Davies's two years. It's really been 164 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.920 his window. He's just really taken everything to another level. 165 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.560 I outlined everything that he just won. If you go back, 166 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.279 if you if you count all of twenty twenty four 167 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.600 and then what's happened so far in twenty twenty five, 168 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.600 more than twenty one million dollars in ear name, it's 169 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.720 like twenty one point five million dollars. That's wild. Absolutely 170 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:47.200 was the last two months it's like ten million. Yeah, 171 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.159 that's pretty much hot. With what he's doing in his 172 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.279 whole career lost. 173 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.200 It's freaking wild. 174 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.840 And now's of course this two hundred and fifty K Super 175 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.559 Higher orl or winning his first bracelet, and it's not 176 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.919 just any bracelet. It is the biggest buy in of 177 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.279 the summer. And it's actually kind of fitting because these 178 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.840 are the tournaments that Seth specializes in. These are the 179 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.639 tournaments that he frequents the most. It is one of 180 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.080 the toughest fields in poker. You know, he rolls with 181 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:16.480 Ben Tollering, Jason Kuhn, Jeremy Osmas, Isaac Caxton, Steven Chadwick, 182 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.120 you know, some of the best of the best. Right 183 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.919 they've all got their big win, their big wsp win. 184 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.279 Seth had yet to have his. Yeah, now he got 185 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.679 his moment. This wasn't a breakout. This was a payoff 186 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.200 for all of the hard work that Seth has put in. 187 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.600 I would say that right now he is playing the 188 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.080 best poker of his life. And then with that comes 189 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.440 a lot of confidence to kind of always do the 190 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.639 right thing. Yes, you are running hot and spots his evidence. 191 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.639 By the second to last hand of this tournament, he 192 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.480 got it all in with ah Jack versus Alex Foxin's 193 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.240 ace Queen. He smashed a jack on the flop and 194 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.120 held from there. But the results right now, they're absolutely 195 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.039 positively undeniable for Seth Davies. And after he won, we 196 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:02.639 were able to catch up with him. So let's hear 197 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:04.840 from Seth Davies and then we'll come on back and 198 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.919 we'll wrap up about the two hundred and fifty K 199 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.360 super high Roller. 200 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.240 All right, Seth, You've been grinding at the highest levels 201 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.200 for quite a long time. Now finally got that ws 202 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.279 AP breakthrough win. How does it feel to come in 203 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:17.720 the biggest buy in of yoursel. 204 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.879 Yeah, I mean it's it's kind of fantasyland stuff. You know, 205 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.240 you only get so many high stakes WSP tournaments every year. 206 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.440 It's not like Trenton where you get thirty shots at it. 207 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.080 You only get, you know, three or four shots at it. 208 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.200 So it's something I've wanted for a long time, and 209 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.360 to come through in the biggest one, it's insane. 210 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.440 Did you ever feel like this moment was kind of 211 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.360 getting further and further away from you or was it 212 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.159 something that you thought would always come eventually. 213 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.559 Yeah, So these things the way it feels, it feels 214 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.879 like it's never going to happen. Then all of a 215 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.200 sudden it just does, and it's very sudden, and it's 216 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.679 very you know, it feels like you're just slowly going 217 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.399 down the hill for a very long time and then 218 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.440 you just get launched in other space. And that's kind 219 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:55.799 of what I feel like right now. 220 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.759 You've been really hot for the last let's say one, 221 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:04.159 it's is there anything specifically, whether it be personally, whether 222 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:05.960 it be mentally technically. 223 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.519 That has just started to click that has allowed the 224 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:08.480 results to roll in. 225 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.399 I think my soft skills have improved a lot. I 226 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.399 think I've always had pretty good hard skills with like 227 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.960 technical just like you know, the fundamentals of poker, but 228 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.639 the soft skills that come along with live poker and 229 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.039 getting to understand your player pool better. I think that's 230 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.759 really improved for me over the last couple of years. 231 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.960 You mentioned recently in another interview about losing ten percent 232 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.600 of your network in two different trite and stops. Yeah, 233 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.440 and kind of questioning yourself through it all. Just talk 234 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.600 me through about how you get through that self doubt mentally. 235 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:37.480 Yeah. 236 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.799 So that was Jju and Monty Carlo. These last two 237 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.519 Trident trips obviously very high stakes, and the trips just 238 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.200 weren't that good. You know, there wasn't too many soft 239 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.200 players there. There's a lot of good pros and not 240 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.200 too many soft spots. So you kind of have this 241 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.799 existential moment where you're like, is this something that I 242 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.039 can continue doing? Is this a realistic way for me 243 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.279 to you know, continue making a living and fortunately for 244 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.240 me and everybody, I guess the next titen that rolled 245 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.639 around was was pretty good. Some of the softer spots 246 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:12.279 started showing up again, and obviously my results just went insane. 247 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.240 So I feel a lot better about the future for now. 248 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.799 But you know, it's a very up and down game, 249 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.639 you know, it's it's a lot of bad things happen 250 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:23.279 and a lot of great things happen. You just got 251 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:23.639 to wear it. 252 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.919 You've got a really good group of elite friends around you, 253 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.559 Jason Kuhn, Ben Toler, and Jeremy Osma's among them. 254 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.240 You know, how have they helped shaped your game, your mindset, 255 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:34.480 even off the felt too. 256 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.399 They're everything you know, your friends in this game, like 257 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.159 it's a poker is a game where there are a 258 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.200 lot of kind of information bubbles out there, and it's 259 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.360 kind of like who is in your study group or 260 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.600 who you talk poker with is extremely important. So I 261 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.919 kind of believe that each of us is mostly a 262 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.720 sum of everybody we associate with, especially in poker but 263 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.120 also in life. Like you're saying, so like I owe 264 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.120 those guys everything, Like the entirety of who I am 265 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.919 is pretty much because of them. 266 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.039 From friends to family, wife and kids. How does this 267 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.279 one hit knowing you're kind of playing for them in 268 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:08.639 a way. 269 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.000 Yeah, I mean once you have kids and you have 270 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.679 a family, everything just carries a little bit more meaning. 271 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.159 And I was actually thinking about that a lot. Yesterday 272 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.440 I was having to talk with Stevie Chidwick and orpen 273 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.320 Uh I can't say his last name, Kisa Chakolu is 274 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.679 his name, but anyway, we were talking about just you know, 275 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:30.039 becoming fathers and as our careers get to a point 276 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.759 where you know, we're not necessarily in it for well, 277 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:34.480 we're in it to make money, but we don't like 278 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.720 we could retire is basically what I'm saying. So and 279 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.360 we talked about did you guys, you know, do we 280 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.120 consider retiring? And we talked a little bit about having 281 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.639 purpose and and how that's good for you. And it 282 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.960 also is something that I think about with my son, 283 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:49.679 you know, like I would love to My son's too 284 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.840 youngerly understand any of this, but if he's twelve years old, 285 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.559 like I would love to have him watch me do this, 286 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:56.919 you know what I mean. I would love I really 287 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.039 want a reason for my son and my wife to 288 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.240 be proud of me, and I think that is a 289 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:03.960 big part of this and it means a lot to 290 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:04.440 me because of that. 291 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.000 You spend years mastering this craft, you're now with the 292 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.600 pinnacle on your own terms, your own style. 293 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.600 Can you just sum up what that means to be. 294 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.600 Yeah, So, whenever you're kind of in control of your 295 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.840 own whenever it feels like you're kind of in control 296 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.120 of your own future and your own success, it's a 297 00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.639 really liberating feeling. And like I was saying about the 298 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.200 retirement thing, like choosing to walk away at any point 299 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:32.600 would be amazing, but also the feeling of belonging, of 300 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.039 how we feel like you've arrived at the highest level 301 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.879 of some kind of competition. It's an incredibly gratifying feeling. 302 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.360 Good insight from him, you know, it's good to hear 303 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.200 him talk about his family. It's good to hear him 304 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.759 talk about that friend group that I mentioned, and then 305 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.759 just kind of speaking to how he's just a normal dude. 306 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:51.360 You know. 307 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.960 Afterwards, he's got some other friends hanging around the rail 308 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.559 He just orders a bunch of beers over. They sat 309 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:02.320 over there for an hour shooting the shit talking. 310 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:03.120 You know. 311 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.480 At one point he did an interview with w SP 312 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.679 I walk him back to do our interview. He's like, 313 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.200 let me call my brother while we walk. Sure, calls 314 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.480 his brother and he just starts talking about how the 315 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.600 Oilers were losing and about to lose the Stanley Cup game. 316 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.000 Set this from Oregon. 317 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.399 So I'm assuming he's up there in that realm of 318 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.600 the woods an Oilers fan, and he just won a 319 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.600 four point seventy five million. Of course, you know, his 320 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:31.679 brother congratulated him great, all that sort of stuff. But 321 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.720 then immediately just you know, some bro sports talk. Yeah, 322 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.879 and then he's sitting over there having some bruise with 323 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.519 his buddies. And the reason why he was sitting over 324 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.519 there is he was waiting for his other buddies, Osmas, Kuhn, Hackston, Chidwick, 325 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:48.000 all those guys. They were in the twenty five k 326 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.679 PLO on the other side of the universe in Paris. 327 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:52.919 They had he had to wait for them, which was 328 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.080 it was about I think when we wrapped up all 329 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.279 the photos and everything, it was like sixty eight minutes 330 00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:59.639 until they had a break. So he sat there and 331 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.519 just check and waited for them to all come over 332 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.559 so they could do a big group photo with one another. 333 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.960 They all came running over, they did the group photo, 334 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:09.600 they all ran back to play. 335 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:11.519 Seth went back to drinking his beers. 336 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.720 He said, he's probably gonna take the night off, but 337 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.240 he might hop into the twenty five k PLO tomorrow. 338 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.039 Seth is a very very good PLO player in addition 339 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.519 to a very very good Nolamant Holden player, so he 340 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.440 might get in that he might not, kind of depends 341 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.559 on how he feels. But set Davies off and running 342 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.440 here at the twenty twenty five World Series of Poker. 343 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.240 Just running through the results quickly from this event, of course, 344 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.279 we got set Davies up on top four point seventy 345 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.080 five million, Alex Fox and insecond Alex Fxen previously won 346 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.000 this event almost one at a second time.

He did get it in on the first 356 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.160 hand aces for Brin Kenny A's king for Martin Gabrell, 357 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.039 but the board ran out of straight so they chopped it. 358 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.640 Ben Tolereen eliminated after that Aces versus kings five hundred 359 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:24.920 and eighty one K for him.
