The final starting flight for the 31 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.280 twenty twenty six WSP Main Event attracted four thousand, six 32 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:04.040 hundred and ninety four entries. Yes, that is down. It's 33 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.640 a decrease of six point one percent from last year's 34 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.400 Day one d but a bit better than I think 35 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.879 probably a lot of people expected for this final flight, 36 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.639 even myself, you know, I thought this would come in 37 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.039 around between forty three and forty four hundred. I'm just 38 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.719 kind of looking at where some of the trends were 39 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:25.400 so far. But things performed pretty pretty well overall. We're 40 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.840 sitting at eight thousand and seventy seven entries before we 41 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.560 tally any of the Day two late entries, and that 42 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.759 is down seven point one percent from last year. Last year, 43 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.960 at this point we were at eight thousand, six hundred 44 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.719 and ninety four. I have been talking about what I 45 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.120 think is going to be happening for the day two 46 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.080 late entries. I still think we're gonna get around one thousand. 47 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.639 Let's say nine hundred to one thousand is my final guess. 48 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.919 And if we do that, the number goes back up 49 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.840 over nine thousand, and it's it's you know, it's fine. 50 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.479 It's certainly plenty fine. A lot of stuff is been down. 51 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.039 Some stuff has been up, of course, but a lot 52 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.400 of stuff has been down throughout the summer. It's just 53 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.080 kind of a crazy wild world out there where things 54 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.719 are expensive, people have less money. Bitcoin is down, like 55 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.840 you know, they got the ninety percent tax law, like 56 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.719 you got all this sort of stuff that's just going 57 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.879 against poker right now. But still being able to maintain 58 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.159 what I think is going to be right around nine thousand, 59 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.719 probably a little bit more than nine thousand entries for 60 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.960 the WSP made event in this current climate, I think 61 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.120 is a very very big win for the World Series 62 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.840 of Poker, and I am looking forward to next year 63 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.639 because when you make this big push to build a 64 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.199 new stage like they did, bring the streaming to ESPN. 65 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.039 You know what sort of effect is that going to have? 66 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.240 And it's not just ESPN because yes, it's ESPN in 67 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.360 the the US, or the ESPN platform, I should say 68 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.560 in the US, because it's split between the app slash 69 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.639 plus and then also it'll be on ESPN and ESPN 70 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.759 two for the final table. But there's there's some international 71 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.520 deals as well. So you know, the US stuff, I know, 72 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.439 a lot of US, a lot of the listeners out 73 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.919 there see because we are you know, in the US, 74 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.680 we're American, et cetera. But there's a lot of stuff 75 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.960 going on around the rest of the world too. To 76 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.000 beef up the distribution. That's not gonna be something that 77 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.680 really pays any sort of dividends this year. It's if 78 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.319 enough people see it, there's enough eyeballs on it, people 79 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.839 get excited about it. They say, that's awesome. Maybe I 80 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.360 forgot about poker. Maybe this reignites some sort of fire 81 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.639 inside me to get back out there and fire this. 82 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.560 And then next year is when you see the bump 83 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.160 plus maybe you know, maybe Bitcoin goes back up and 84 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.160 other crypto maybe you know, the economy is just doing 85 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.839 a little bit better. All that sort of stuff. You know, 86 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.399 we'd have we'd have a year, right, so that's a 87 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.160 lot of time for things to to turn the right direction. 88 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.120 Of course, I mean they could go the other way, yes, 89 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.079 but I generally like to be positive about things in 90 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.759 the world. So you know, we gotta we gotta got 91 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.519 a new highst hit next year. Of course, within the 92 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:03.399 first thirty minutes of day one, as reported by Poker News, 93 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:10.000 Patrick Lander was eliminated from the tournament in a pretty 94 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.079 crazy fashion, bluffing it off with six high So listen 95 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:16.800 to this hand. This is this is again, this is 96 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.120 this is as reported by Poker News, but it does 97 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.600 come from with the table reported two Poker News Under 98 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.199 the gun you had Nicholas by Sirius. Believe I said 99 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.279 that name correctly. He raised a five hundred again the 100 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.759 first level in his minimum is one hundred, two hundred 101 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.079 with the sixty k starting stack. Action folded all the 102 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.360 way around to Brian Bonacor in the small blind. He 103 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.759 made the call, and then Lander Patrick Lander was in 104 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.480 the big blind. He three bet to fifteen hundred. Both 105 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.800 players call it comes nine to eighty four. Small blind 106 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.519 checks Lander out of the big blind bets two thousand, 107 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.800 which is right around forty percent pot. Both players call 108 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.439 turn is an ace, small Blind checks again. Lander comes 109 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.639 with the same bet two k, so now this time 110 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:03.040 he's betting around twenty percent pot, one fifth of the pot. 111 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.759 The original razor from under the gun VI Sierras He folds, 112 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.560 but then the small blind bon Acorp he checked raises 113 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.279 to seven k. Lander decides to make the call, having 114 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.759 position on his opponent, River is a King. Bonacor bets 115 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:23.279 twelve thousand, which is fifty percent pot, and Lander goes 116 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.480 all in for what the table said was around forty 117 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.439 five thousand. After a little bit of a tank, Bonacort 118 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.079 called with pocket eights for a set of eights. He 119 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.720 flopped a set of eights on the nine to eighty 120 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.680 four flop. Lander had six five six five six high 121 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.800 and was sent out the door. Now, listen, this isn't 122 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.279 an easy call with the eights, So I think you 123 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.199 got to tip your cap to Bonacor here, because listen, 124 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:56.439 I don't recognize these players in the hand. And you know, 125 00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.240 forgive me if I'm just you know, not recognizing them. 126 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.199 But let's just what I'm getting at is, I don't 127 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.439 think that these players probably knew who each other were like, 128 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.240 you know, it's not like you're sitting down You're like, Okay, 129 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.439 this is Alex Fox and he can have X y 130 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.240 Z hands. You know, he can kind of be out 131 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.519 there doing something. I mean, when you have what you 132 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.600 might think is an unknown player, you don't know that 133 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.639 player and they're just going all in within the first 134 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.079 half hour of the WSP Maine event, I mean, you 135 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.240 have to have some sort of giant sirens just booming 136 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.759 in your head, being like what the heck is going on? 137 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.839 So you're sitting there with a set of eight. It's 138 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.800 when listen, this guy could certainly have aces here, right, 139 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.240 three bet pre flop, bets the flop, BET's the turn 140 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.720 and betting the turn really small. If he were to 141 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.639 have aces here. When he makes a set of aces 142 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.439 and then he gets check raised, he just flats to 143 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.800 keep all your opponents' hands in, gets a clean river card, 144 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.120 and then just goes bombs away. You know, like that 145 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.920 makes sense to me, right, I mean, kings maybe a 146 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.040 little less, so you know probably, I mean, maybe you 147 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:55.720 bet the turn like this and then you call a 148 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.519 check raise. I don't know, maybe you want to splash 149 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.680 around a little bit nine. I could possibly being there 150 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.079 if he wants to get aggressive pre flop, probably more 151 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.600 of it just a call, but you know, I think 152 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.279 it's certainly likely that this player could have aces. Now, 153 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.560 I don't know what Patrick Lander was up to for 154 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.000 the you know, the twenty twenty five minutes or however 155 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.240 long he was there first. Maybe he's just blasting off 156 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.439 and everyone's like, you know, this guy's just he's going off. 157 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.279 We got to call him down. But still it did 158 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:25.279 say that Bonacor did tank call with the eights, you know, 159 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.319 so you know, you got to tap the table, tip 160 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.560 your cap to Bonicor there for making the call there 161 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.639 and Lander, I mean, I mean, the guy just freaking 162 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.320 went for it. He was six high. But he's out 163 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.120 of the tournament. So that's that. You always just see 164 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.960 these wild hands in the Level one of the WSP 165 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.559 main event. It's just it's crazy out there, right, it 166 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:45.399 really is. I mean, at the end of the day, 167 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.399 I know it's the biggest and the best and the 168 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.360 most prestigious tournament in the world, and one that it's 169 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.120 on every poker player's bucket list. Everyone wants to try 170 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.159 extra hard. Everyone's you know, a little bit more kind 171 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.600 of buttoned up in a lot of spots. Not everyone, 172 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.559 but you know a lot of people and some other 173 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.759 people are just out there. They just take it to 174 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.279 the opposite extreme right. They either just kind of treat 175 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.759 it like they would any other tournament and just go 176 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.600 for it in spots when they want to, or they're 177 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.639 just there to just gamble up, try and run up 178 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.159 a huge stack and just steamroll this whole thing from 179 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.240 start to finish. And that's what leads to some pretty 180 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.399 crazy hands early on. And of course with all eyes, 181 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.279 all media, you know, focused on the WSP main events, 182 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.360 all of this sort of stuff that happens in the 183 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.519 early levels, it really does come to light with that 184 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.360 increased spotlight on it. So we said goodbye to Patrick 185 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.399 Lander early on with the six High Bluff and just 186 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:49.200 you know, wild stuff there. Plenty of big names were 187 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.600 in the field for Day one d You had Daniel 188 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:56.120 mcgrano made it down to Paris. He played on the 189 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.440 feature table all day long, well I shouldn't say all 190 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.399 day from level I think three all the way till 191 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.440 the end. Nick Schulman was in the mix. You had 192 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.879 both the Fox and Kristin Fox and Alex Foxen were 193 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.600 out there, Martin Cabrell was in there, Victor Blom, Darren Elias, 194 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.840 Eric Lnglan, Ryan Race, Benny Glausser, Anthony Zen, Oshan deeb, 195 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.000 Jennifer Tilly, Phil Locke was out there, Greg Mueller, Joe Hasham, 196 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:23.440 Jonathan Tamayo, Jeremy Becker, Dylan Wiseman, Joey Weissman, Christian Harder 197 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:27.600 and then rampage Ethan Rampagey how they were all in 198 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.399 the mix. Don't really know how. Too many of them 199 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.000 bagged up chips. I do know that Jennifer Tilly bagged 200 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.919 around thirty thousand. I know that Daniel legrand New bagged chips. 201 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.840 I didn't see what his number was. It wasn't in 202 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.600 the app just yet, but I know they finished up 203 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.720 their hand up on the main feature table. He did 204 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.799 the phil ivey, he walked off and did a walk 205 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.799 off interview they like. Jeff Platt met him, I don't know, 206 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.759 twenty feet from the table in the middle of the 207 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.200 main stage area and they walked off and filmed an 208 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.480 exit interview or a day end interview. I shouldn't say 209 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.840 EXE because he didn't bust the tournament. Daniel but a 210 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.759 day's end interview, you know all they will they walked 211 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.960 out of the room and then somebody else, you know, 212 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.240 floor staff or whoever bags Daniel's chips up on the 213 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:19.120 feature table. Another player that was in the mix, Paul, Missrocky. 214 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:21.200 I know you guys know a lot about the Miss 215 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.159 Rocky brothers. Well, this is a Miss Rocky son. Paul 216 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.440 Msrocky is Michael the Grinder, Miss Rocky's son. He played 217 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:33.399 I think his first like big major tournament in December 218 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.879 when he had turned twenty one at WSP Paradise And 219 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.080 here he is playing his first WSP main event. And 220 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.840 guess how many chips this guy backed? One hundred and 221 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.919 ninety seven, two under, more than three times the starting 222 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.399 stack in true Miss Rocky fashion. You know, I was 223 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.279 reading through. There's an article about it on on pokernews 224 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.159 dot com and shout out to Poker News. By the way, 225 00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.679 I've been referencing them a lot throughout the summer. They've 226 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.559 been doing a lot of hard work out there, a 227 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.279 lot of articles, a lot of good stuff. With the 228 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.559 live reporting. It's always good to have, Yes, it's great 229 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.639 to have the streams and the coverage that way, but 230 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.080 then also, you know to have written in other media 231 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.000 going out as well. It's just if you want to 232 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.399 consume it all and be a total nerd about it, 233 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.840 you got to consume it all, right. But ms Rocky 234 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.639 was kind of joking like did I get lucky today 235 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.000 or you know, how did I play or whatever to 236 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.519 his table, and his table said, no, you grinded. So 237 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.679 you know, it sounds like he grinded it out. But 238 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.279 we got at new miss Rocky here, Paul ms Rocky, 239 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.200 Michael Mrocky's son bagging more than three times the starting stack. 240 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.000 I mentioned Jennifer Tilly and how she bagged around thirty thousand. 241 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.039 I think it was just shy of thirty thousand, so 242 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.759 just shy of half of a starting stack. She hasn't 243 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.759 been playing that Visit to be Man event for a while. 244 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.080 And now you guys are gonna have to bear with 245 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.159 us on the audio here because we shot it for 246 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.279 a video. But we're gonna use the audio here because 247 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.759 I do want to hear from Gentilly. You know why 248 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.919 she's been not able to play the w C MANI 249 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.600 for a few years. She talks about her love for poker, 250 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.919 mentions you know, her boyfriend Phil Locke and you know 251 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.240 him playing and you know all different kinds of stuff 252 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.159 from Jennifer Tilly. Ka did this interview, So here's from 253 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.679 Jennifer Tilly. This was before she bagged on the day. 254 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.600 So on one of the breaks leading towards the end of. 255 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:23.039 The day, Jennifer, where have you been all these years 256 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:23.440 in the main? 257 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.440 Well, I am so happy. It's been six years since 258 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.919 I've played the main for Suicid Pandemic, remember the Pandemic, 259 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.679 then three seasons of Chucking, which we filmed in the summer, 260 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.879 two seasons. 261 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.200 Of the Real House. It's the Beverly Hills. 262 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.639 So this is my first main event tournament in a 263 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.679 very long time. So it's fun. I'm a little rusty 264 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.279 and tournament play like I played high sakes poker. Those 265 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.200 guys play like crazy pants. They're like billionaires. They lose 266 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.279 one hundred thousand dollars and then they laugh and they 267 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.639 show you that they have three seven off suit. So 268 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.559 these people you so when they raise you, they have something. 269 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.039 So I'm learning how to adjust to how real people play. 270 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.320 But my big goal is the lasted at the end 271 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.799 of the day, because it'd be a gloomy time in 272 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.320 the old Tilly Philly household tomorrow. If Phil is still 273 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.600 in the tournament and I'm not, so I think I 274 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.919 can hold on to my chips, just not do anything 275 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.279 crazy and rash. 276 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.639 You've been at the World Chairs of bog before many years. Yes, 277 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.279 the lore of the main event is huge. You have 278 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.120 a bracelet, but you don't have a deep run in 279 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:20.799 the main events. 280 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.440 So talk to me about what this tournament means to 281 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:24.399 you and what that would mean. 282 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.240 I have never gotten past the second day. I think 283 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.320 once I made it to the second day, and all 284 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.600 the other days I just didn't even get past the 285 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.320 first day. It would be so amazing to do a 286 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.679 deep run. I mean, and a lot of people dream 287 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.639 about making the final table. I dream of them saying 288 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.519 the bubble has burst and I'm there cheering along with 289 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.600 everybody else. So you know, hopefully that'll happen. But anything 290 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.840 can happen. This is the great thing about tournaments. I mean, 291 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.799 a lot of times you say the cream rises to 292 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.840 the top. Sometimes you'll see some really top players at 293 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.639 the final table, but more often you see, like Joe 294 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.120 from Ohio, a guy with the dream like I'm sitting 295 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.039 next to lady that has like a farm. She's like, Oh, 296 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.879 I left the cows for a couple of days to 297 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.639 come play poker. That's the greatest thing about this. Everybody 298 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.559 comes from all over, everyone has the same dream, and 299 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.240 it's legendary. I know there's other tournaments to have a 300 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.960 lot bigger buy in, like two hundred and fifty thousand 301 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:22.279 buy in, and obviously the Poker Players Championship is very 302 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.600 presty just but I just love this. I love what 303 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.519 it represents. I love that we have Norman, Chad and 304 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:32.000 Lon mcghernan back. I've got the ESPN broadcasting it because 305 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.039 I cut my teeth. I'm watching the World Series of 306 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:38.720 Poker live, not live, but on TV before I actually 307 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.679 came out here and played it myself. So this is 308 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.120 where legends are made. 309 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:44.639 One hundred percent agreed. 310 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:49.480 The cash games, though, have gotten so much traction. Yeah, 311 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.279 whenever you play, it goes crazy. 312 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:51.639 Yeah. 313 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:55.039 And what I found super interesting is that your fans, 314 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.399 they know you from your. 315 00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.559 Acting career, and then every now and then. 316 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.960 You throw on a poker clip or something about poker, 317 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.159 and it's so fascinating to see their response. 318 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.399 Right, what is it like to you to show them 319 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.480 this part of your life. 320 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.039 Well, you know, it's so interesting because well, I say, 321 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.279 before Housewives, usually before Housewives, seven out of ten people 322 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.200 knew me from Bride of Chucky and three out of 323 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.279 ten people knew me from poker. So now most people 324 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.360 know me from Housewives. It's I don't know, it's a 325 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.000 huge show all around the world. But I'm so happy 326 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.960 when people say that they like watching me in poker, 327 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.240 and I always get a little like cringe, Like they're like, 328 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:30.879 I was watching on TV last night. I was like, 329 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.360 were you watching when I one hundred thousand dollars? You're 330 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.360 watching me handra I lost one hundred thousand dollars Because 331 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.000 on any given day, you're a terrible poker player or 332 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.440 you're a brilliant poker player, and the swings on those 333 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:46.799 games are insane. But the girls, like for example, in 334 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.840 Real Housewives and Beverly Hills, they get super excited. You're like, 335 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.000 I want ten thousand dollars last night, and you're like 336 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.320 and they're like, ten thousand dollars, what are you gonna buy? 337 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.240 And to me, it's like that's such a baby pot. 338 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.919 So it is fun, you know, to have a lot 339 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.759 of things that I'm interested in and have a lot 340 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.640 of things that I love to do. But I was 341 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.799 saying to Phill the end day philed my boyfriend Phil 342 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.680 Lock in the UNI Bomber, we're really getting back into 343 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.680 wanting to We used to follow the tournament circuit and 344 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.200 it's really fun. And then one day we decided like, oh, 345 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.039 we're old stirs. We can't be tramping around but we're 346 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.319 all chasing these elusive stats. But now we've got like 347 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.680 renewed vigor and we were even thinking that maybe next 348 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.880 year we're just gonna go around to some of these 349 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.359 exotic places and you know, compete, compete with Ill. 350 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:38.000 Why not? Why not? Final question? Poker has been a 351 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:38.759 consulant in your life? 352 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:39.119 Yes? 353 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:40.880 What does the game mean to you? 354 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.599 You know what I love about poker is it's it's 355 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.519 really a microcosm of life. Like this morning, I woke 356 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.279 up with dread, like, what terrible thing is gonna happen 357 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:50.720 at the end of the day. I mean, they're gonna 358 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.680 be happier. I'm gonna be not happy. But it's it 359 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.880 is like life. You have these extreme emotions and it's 360 00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.440 so much like I used to be haunted by, Oh, 361 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:01.680 you know the thing a lady went through the intersection, 362 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:06.000 got broadsided by the carl. You know, you think I 363 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:07.640 would think what if she left house a little lad, 364 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.160 what if she left the house a little earlier. I 365 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.799 always feel like when poker, we're always like, what if 366 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.440 I check raised on the turn? Or what if I 367 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.440 hadn't played that hand, or what if I played it 368 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.839 a little bit differently? Would I still be in the tournament? 369 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:27.160 And you have a lot of self incriminations and ruminations, 370 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:29.680 you know, you're always exploring your soul, like did I 371 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:31.920 just tilt off those chips? Was a like a really 372 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.960 good bluff that just didn't work. I'm very kind to 373 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.720 myself because I feel like I make the best decisions 374 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:39.960 given the information that I have. And you know, it's like, 375 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.000 how was I to know the guy I had quads? 376 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.359 You know, you don't know these things. And the thing 377 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.039 with people who are professional poker players or even amateur 378 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:49.599 poker players, they tend to beat themselves up a lot. 379 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:51.960 But the reason why this is such a great game, 380 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.680 it's a game of incomplete information, and the luck factor 381 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.640 really throws her mention to think, isn't it, Philahelm, You said, 382 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:02.480 if for luck, I'd win every time. But that's why 383 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:04.680 we have all the amateur players from all over the 384 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.480 world coming and chasing their dream because they've had themmen, 385 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.039 this amount of luck in their poker league, get home, 386 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.599 and they really want to come and try their luck 387 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.759 with the best. I think, you know, obviously, when Chris 388 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:19.680 Moneymaker won against Sammy Fara, a seasoned gambler with an 389 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:24.039 insane bluff, I think that that really inspired everybody. Everyone 390 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.640 could be a poker champion. Yeah, everybody can. Why not me? 391 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.039 Good stuff there from Jennifer Tilly. Interesting to hear how 392 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.880 she's kind of feeling like she has to figure out 393 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.400 how tournament players play, and specifically in the dobas v 394 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.359 min event play in a contrast to how players play 395 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.920 in the cash games, you know, high stakes poker, no gamble, 396 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.880 no future, all the big stuff, Poker Stars, big game, 397 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.039 whatever it is that Jennifer Tilly plays on. You know, 398 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:54.960 it's more just like a rich home game. People are 399 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.680 splashing around, they're in there with you know, kind of 400 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.559 really wide ranges, they're doing kind of wild stuff. They're 401 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.680
