1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,679
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to a new episode of

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,519
the Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:23,039
name is Tim Duckworth, and fingers crossed this recording works

4
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:28,519
because having some technical difficulties beforehand. It is eleven forty

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,520
seven pm on Monday, July fourteenth, so not really gonna

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,039
wake up producer Rich and bother him. So again fingers

7
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:41,159
crossed that everything works here. Probably a pretty short episode

8
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:43,840
coming your way today. We're gonna touch on the Dubisby

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,039
main event final table once again. We're gonna kind of

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,840
preview it a little bit more. I know, we ran

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,880
through the players on the last episode, you know, everyone

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,920
that made the final nine, and then we'll get into that.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,920
We'll also touch into everything else that's going on here

14
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:03,039
at Horseshoe paris pretty slow day overall, but do have

15
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:05,519
a couple of winners. Don't think we're gonna get a

16
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:07,400
winner in this ten K six max, but that is

17
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,799
playing right now. We'll hit on that. We got the

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,280
polo playing down, so you know, we got enough to

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,040
fill an episode, right and of course we can make

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,560
some stuff. No days off, No days off here, baby,

21
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:20,640
No days off. People keep saying to me like, all,

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560
sum are you gonna record the podcast night? You're gonna

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,280
record the podcast night? The answer is yes, mofos every

24
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:29,640
single night. Okay, we are doing it every single night.

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,760
We made a commitment, we are sticking to it, so

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,120
let's freaking go. The past two episodes, by the way,

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,319
have taken off a little bit more on YouTube. So

28
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:42,400
if you're a new viewer or listener of the pokerl podcast,

29
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,319
thank you for joining in. I'm Donnie Peters. He's Tim Duckworth.

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,000
He's been in the industry since two thousand and seven.

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,680
I've been in the industries in two thousand and eight,

32
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:51,079
so collectively we have like one hundred and thirty five

33
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:54,000
years between us in this industry. We've worked for Poker News,

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,159
the World Poker Tour, obviously Poker Grow right now. We've

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,959
bounced all over the place, and you know, we love

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,640
poker probably more than most people should. We're sickos in

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,439
that regard, but there is no greater game, no greater industry,

38
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:09,319
and we are just happy to be a part of it.

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,560
We do this show during the WSOP every single night.

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,800
We do video form on the Poker Go YouTube channel,

41
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,039
So if you're listening and you want to check out

42
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,360
the video form, you can do that. We also do

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,560
an audio form. The audio form has been going much

44
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,680
longer than the video form, so be sure to check

45
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,680
us out. As always, please do like, subscribe, rate, review,

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,919
all that sort of stuff. Comment on the videos. I

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,360
went through a whole bunch of the YouTube comments today

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,919
on the past two or three videos. Responded to just

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,039
about every single one of them. You know, some of

50
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:42,520
them I had to delete. Some of them I didn't

51
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,639
respond to because they didn't warrant a response. But most

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,000
of the time I like to get in there. In

53
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:48,719
the very least, I like to just like drop in

54
00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:50,879
a mode or something just to acknowledge that I read it,

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,439
or a lie. Yeah, well I like to actually do something,

56
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:57,159
you know, just just something to acknowledge that I read it,

57
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:59,639
because I do read all of them. We are not

58
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:02,120
scared of the comments at all. If you are listening

59
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:05,599
on Spotify, Apple, wherever you listen to your podcast, please

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,800
give us a five star rating or whatever sort of

61
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:10,520
rating you can. The highest is what we ask for,

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,639
so we're not asking for a lot, but it does

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,240

00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:32,040
Rounding out the twenty twenty five WSB Main Event final

108
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:35,879

00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:42,279
final nine. He's got fifteen big blinds to work with

111
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:46,720
when play resumes on Tuesday, July fifteenth. All those nine

112
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:49,480
players had the day off on Monday. I think all

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,839
of them came down here to the Horseshoe to do

114
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,279
some interviews, take some photos, maybe some various interviews with

115
00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:58,040
the media or whatnot, what not.

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: All of them who didn't come, Wow, Actually I lie

117
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:07,439
exactly exactly. They interview and one of them they need

118
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:08,839
one pot. That's what I'm kind of getting in.

119
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Well, you're talking about the Grinder. I am, yeah, but

120
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:13,439
he ended up coming. He was late.

121
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,959
Speaker 2: But he can't show what we're talking to us down

122
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,439
here well in the back of the room.

123
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,079
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is. He's the Grinders.

124
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,120
He's a big personality, he's a big name. He's got

125
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,439
people to see, things to do. Man, he can't he

126
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,319
can't just be schlepping in with us. He's already done

127
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,720
this whole final table thing. Yeah, good point, you know, right,

128
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,160
the freaking grinder man. Use the old footage, right, Yeah,

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,079
just put seven bracelets, honey, let's go. It's amazing good

130
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,920
Win number eight. So I ran through all the stack sizes.

131
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,920
I do want to hit on the ICM value and

132
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,720
on the video. Hopefully we'll get a little shot right

133
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:48,959
here from producer Rich right in the middle of us.

134
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,839
This is per Derek Walters on Twitter. He goes by

135
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,959
Derek underscore Walters. He's always talking about the ICM values

136
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:01,360
for the stacks. He's also regularly offing excuse me to

137
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:05,040
buy pieces of people at their ICM value. And it's

138
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,439
interesting how you how things stack up. You got wasnock

139
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:09,720
is way up on top of a one hundred and

140
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:11,800
eight million, You got m in guineas on the bottom

141
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,240
with twenty three million, right, So there's what it's about.

142
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:20,680
Four and a half x whsnuck stacked to mc guineas.

143
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,040
But like the ICM value, you know, first place in

144
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:27,079
this thing is ten million. Everyone's guaranteed a million. Like,

145
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,600
it's not that big of a gap. It's not a

146
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,959
nine million dollar gap in the ICM value. The ICM

147
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,480
value is obviously scrunched down. Wasnock has the largest ICM

148
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
value of course because he's the chip leader four point

149
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:41,279
five seven million, Then you have four point twenty four

150
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:43,720
four point two one seven three point nine three point

151
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:47,079
two three point one three million, two point five seven nine,

152
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,959
and then ming Guinea stack is right now worth two

153
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:55,399
point one three one million. I'm assuming all the players

154
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,720
are aware of this at least to some degree. Now,

155
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:01,839
I would say the one that's probably the least aware

156
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:06,680
of it would be Well, I think he's least aware

157
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,480
of it out of choice. I don't think he gives

158
00:08:08,519 --> 00:08:11,680
a shit. Okay, So but I think I would assume

159
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,360
that Wa Wasnak because he's like the the he's the

160
00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:17,920
token old guy. He's a recreational player. He's I think

161
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,079
he's an investment consultant is what his job is. So

162
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,560
he also might like just not be as in tune

163
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,319
with it. You know. Maybe, yes, he has some people

164
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,120
telling him about it, but I feel like he's just

165
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,480
going to be a guy who's just going to play

166
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,720
his game and not really worry about this, Whereas I

167
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,919
feel like someone like let's say Kenny Hallard or Adam

168
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,000
Hendrix are going to be like, oh my ICM value

169
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,720
is this Like I'm going to try and ladder up

170
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,559
accordingly or whatnot. So just wanted to kind of lay

171
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,440
those out there. As we head into the final table again,

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,519
everyone is guaranteed a million dollars for making the final nine,

173
00:08:49,159 --> 00:08:51,960
and then it goes one million, one point twenty five,

174
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,639
one point five, one point nine, two point four, three, four, six, ten,

175
00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:00,559
I believe are all the payoffs, so kind of smallest

176
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,000
jumps to start, but then obviously once you get into it,

177
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,879
the jumps get pretty pretty big. And then of course

178
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:09,759
that four million dollar jump from second to first is

179
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:14,360
absolutely astronomical. I guess let's take a look at, you know,

180
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,879
this final table as it compares to some recent years.

181
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:21,279
That's something that I wanted to hit on, you know,

182
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,919
I just I think a lot has been made about

183
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,480
how awesome this final table is, and when people start

184
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:31,240
throwing that around, you know, this is the best fil

185
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:33,120
table ever. This is the best fiel table ever. I mean,

186
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,200
I just it's not that it's not I don't know,

187
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:38,519
but I just immediately think is it right? And then

188
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,080
I kind of want to look, Yeah, so what is

189
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:44,159
best main definition? Here though, Well, I'm just saying that's

190
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,639
what I've heard from a lot of people, like this

191
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:48,039
FILEL table is so great, This fil tables the best, like,

192
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,879
you know, like finally we got this type of final table.

193
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,279
So I think obviously a lot of it has to

194
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,559
do with Leyo Marjetts. Yeah, you know, being the first

195
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,960
woman to make them an event final table in thirty years,

196
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,360
going all the way back to nineteen ninety five, when

197
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:04,840
Barbara Enright did it. Barbara Enwright was the only player

198
00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:07,679
or only female player to do it. It's taken thirty

199
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:10,720
years now for Leo Marguetz to do it. And of

200
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:13,440
course she did it with a six six sick runout

201
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,399
going Club Club to back into a flush after her

202
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,240
jacks were out flopped against Ace King on day eight.

203
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,600
But but yeah, I pulled I pulled the most recent

204
00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:27,080
final tables going back to twenty twenty one, So that

205
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,480
gives us it's all the post COVID years can't really

206
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,080
count twenty twenty because obviously that was the weird COVID

207
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:36,639
year where everything was like it was like there was

208
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,799
an international tournament, there was a USA tournament. They combined

209
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,559
to one tournament. They played it it was very weird, right,

210
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,600
and then I didn't feel like going back, you know,

211
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,320
before that. So I would say that, you know, this one,

212
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:55,600
it's got a pretty strong mix of star power. It

213
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,480
certainly has that historical significance, you know, largely due to

214
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,679
Leo Margetz and the history that I just mentioned it

215
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:06,320
being thirty years since we've had a woman make the

216
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,559
final table. I think there's a lot of like poker

217
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,480
credibility at this final table. Overall, I would view it

218
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:16,120
as very well rounded. If a final table like can

219
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:21,600
be versatile, I think this one checks that box. You know,

220
00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:26,320
we talked about Leo Marguetz. You know, she's the global storyline.

221
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,919
She's out of Spain, you know, but she's he's very

222
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,039
much that global storyline now because she is the female

223
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:33,759
that has made the final table for the first time

224
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:38,159
in thirty years. That is entirely historic. You got Michael Msrocky, right,

225
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:42,080
He's one of the most decorated players in the history

226
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,399
of poker, one of the most decorated WSP players. Tim

227
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:46,440
and I have talked at length about the fact that

228
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,360
he's won four Poker Players Championship titles. He has seven

229
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:53,320
total bracelets, he's now made the w CMIAT final table

230
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,279
for a second time. I mean, it's just it's I

231
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,799
can't even like believe it when I keep saying it. Yeah,

232
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:00,600
it's just so wild to me.

233
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:02,799
Speaker 2: And that second time, just to touch in that way

234
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:07,039
there is in this modern generation, you know, whether we

235
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,000
call it post money maker, it's just has not been

236
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:15,799
done at all that often. Michael Mazrahi twenty ten, twenty

237
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:19,399
twenty five, Mark Newhouse twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, back to

238
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,039
back ninth place finishes.

239
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,039
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

240
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: Dan Harrington twenty two thousand and three, two thousand and four,

241
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:28,080
he finished third and fourth respectively. And we're going to

242
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,679
touch on obviously. Kenny Hallett twenty sixteen, twenty twenty five.

243
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:34,559
Joke out and then yeah, that's I was going to say,

244
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,320
that's probably the best one first and then a fifth.

245
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hard to be that. Joe Haad one is

246
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:41,559
often overlooked.

247
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: It's it's one hundred percent overlook And you know, I

248
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,720
want to throw throw one of our one of our

249
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:50,919
gentlemen on the Pogo team under the bus. He gave

250
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,399
me the list, He's like, any more you can add.

251
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,200
I was like, I bet youa kata, right, and he's like,

252
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:01,399
oh yeah right, oh yeah, yeah right, oh yeah, Jos

253
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:03,840
was sick. And then so if you if you want

254
00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:08,000
to extend a little bit to tenth place, which is

255
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:12,960
still technically the final table, you can throw Michael Rawan

256
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:18,200
into that one. He has a fourth and a tenth technically.

257
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:18,519
Speaker 1: The final table.

258
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: But either way, modern general, the modern times and post

259
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,600
money maker, you know, the money maker error, however you

260
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,600
want to call it. Basically, basically five players have made

261
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,720
you know, two final tables and that's just, you know,

262
00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:32,200
absolutely astonishing.

263
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,519
Speaker 1: Ben Lamb, did you mention him? Wasn't that a third

264
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,759
and a ninth? Oh wow? Yeah, yeah, I mean, let's

265
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,320
not forget that he also has four also has a fourteenth.

266
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,559
He has a fourteenth too, Yeah, Ben Lamb had when

267
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,759
was third, third and twenty and eleven, and then he

268
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:51,399
got ninth in twenty seventeen.

269
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: Oh we that's a duck up from me too. There

270
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:54,759
you go out there.

271
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Piers Heines won in twenty eleven. We haven't seen him since.

272
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,080
And then Scott blow Seeing won it in twenty seventeen.

273
00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:05,639
When Lamb got down there to that one, which is

274
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,360
you know, I mean just absolutely incredible stuff from Ben Lamb.

275
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:12,759
Now Grinder's in that group. Kenny Hallard is also in

276
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:16,240
that group. You know, we talked about Grinder and part

277
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,960
of the storyline with Grinder is he's he's one of

278
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,360
those like old school pro He's a poker Boom star.

279
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:27,120
Is like he became a star during the Poker Broom

280
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:30,759
you know. Now, maybe he didn't rise to the ultimate

281
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,080
heights of a Dan and mcgrondy or a Phil Hollimey

282
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,600
or a Phil Ivy, but Grinder was as big as

283
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,759
they come for a period of time. Yes, Like you know,

284
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:40,840
he was crushing everything. He was winning multiple WPT titles,

285
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,480
just a face everywhere, bracelets, all this sort of stuff.

286
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,039
And then yeah, obviously he had you know, his own

287
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,919
issues that he had to deal with. But I mean,

288
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,919
the guy is freaking back and if you want to

289
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:01,720
like pull up the nostalgia strings, well, Grinder's it. Kenny Hollard,

290
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,159
you know, another final tableist that is returning. He's got

291
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,600
a great ws AP resume, specifically in the main event.

292
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:11,919
I think he even has like another deep run in

293
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,840
the WSP Man event that wasn't one of those final

294
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:16,159
tables that was a very deep run. You know, Kenny's

295
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:19,879
been around the industry forever. He's been He's a tournament director,

296
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,960
he's a live events advisor, I think with poker stars.

297
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,840
So I mean, the guy is just an absolute freaking crusher.

298
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:30,320
He got sixth place in twenty sixteen. In twenty seventeen,

299
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:35,480
sixty fourth, so very very deep run there by Kenny Holler.

300
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:38,399
And then of course he's got this run twenty fifteen,

301
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,080
by the way, the year before he made the final

302
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,879
table one hundred and twenty third. I mean, this mister

303
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:47,720
Main Event twenty twelve, three hundred and twenty third. I mean,

304
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:51,360
this guy's an absolute beast in this tournament. It's absolutely wild.

305
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,159
He's got another cash eight hundred and sixty second in

306
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,080
twenty twenty two, so I mean, it just goes on

307
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:58,039
and on and on and on as it pertains to

308
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,879
the WSP main Event with Kenny Hollard and here he

309
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,039
is once again, so you know, not as big of

310
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:07,600
a name, yes as Grinder, but still a big name

311
00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:10,320
within the industry and a very well respected person who

312
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:12,639
you know, dabbles in both sides. He's on the industry

313
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:14,759
side of things with his you know, his career and

314
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:17,200
his profession and whatnot. He's also on the player side

315
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,120
of things. You've got Adam Hendricks. He's this year's top

316
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:25,159
tier pro. Like he you know, he's the highly skilled,

317
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,679
like a high roller type of guy. The pro We've

318
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,399
seen plenty of them in the years past, almost almost

319
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:33,720
too many of them in years past. You know that

320
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,960
kind of made it seem like it was lackluster. Yeah,

321
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,519
for us in the industry, we're going to nerd out

322
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,519
about it. But you know, we have Adam Hendrix here

323
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:44,919
representing the pros. John Wosnack Now he's obviously the chip leader.

324
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,919
He's and I say this with total respect, but a

325
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:53,559
complete wild card to me in that like I don't

326
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:58,960
he's a recreational player from all accounts, and I mean

327
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,240
he's the token old guy. Always got to have one

328
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,599
of the old guys, right, you know we've had We've

329
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,559
had Jason Segel, We've had Jan Peter Yachman, We've had

330
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Aaron Duckzak, We've had George Holmes. Like you always get

331
00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:14,960
an old guy, we always get an old guy. Right.

332
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,839
He is the old guy this year, and he's the

333
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:20,079
freaking chip leader. And in a way, like I don't know,

334
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:24,119
to me, this is like for every recreational player, for

335
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,119
every older guy that's just hanging out, maybe playing a

336
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,119
home game with his buddies once a week, once a month, whatever,

337
00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:33,319
like this keeps that dream alive exactly right, which is

338
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,880
which is dope. So that's great. And then you know

339
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,559
you got that international flair with some of these players.

340
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:40,759
You know, obviously Leol Margetz we already talked about her,

341
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:43,079
but she also dips into that international flare too. So

342
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,759
you know, I think overall we have a really really

343
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,799
good final table. I do want to touch on these

344
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:52,200
other ones from from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty three,

345
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:54,079
twenty twenty two, and twenty twenty one, so again the

346
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,359
post COVID era. I'll go back to twenty twenty one first.

347
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,960
That was Kari Aldemir's winning year. Who I mean, he's

348
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:04,359
he's a beast of a player, right, obviously a crusher,

349
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,599
but like he doesn't really bring like the big star

350
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,799
power that let's say a Michael Muzroky does, so it

351
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,400
kind of falls short there. Now. Again, this is not

352
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,319
to take anything away from any of these players we're

353
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,119
trying to compare. I did like that year, the Papo

354
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,559
MC factor, m m Alexandre Lococo. You know, he's like

355
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,480
the rapper from Argentina. He brings that global flare. He's

356
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,200
a bit of a wild car with his play. He's

357
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,359
all over the place. So you got that. You of

358
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,599
course have George Holmes. It had some high entertainment value

359
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,440
and I think it ultimately played out. I mean, you

360
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,599
had the big hand where like Lecoco gave all of

361
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,920
his chips to Karai Aldemir. You had a pretty good

362
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,759
heads up match between the old guy George Holmes, like

363
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:48,680
the home game Hero versus the high roller Karai Aldemir.

364
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:51,200
You had that, but like it just I don't know,

365
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,799
it fell short compared to this year. Right, If you

366
00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:55,519
want to give kry Aldemir, if you want to make

367
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:57,720
him like the Adam Hendrix of this year, well you

368
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,640
don't have the Leo Margets. Of course, you don't have

369
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,960
them like Rocky, so you're kind of falling a little

370
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,240
bit short. I think ultimately this one played out quite

371
00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:08,960
nicely and it delivered some some nice TV and it

372
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,880
was certainly entertaining. But I certainly don't think it compares

373
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,160
to this year. The next year that was espen Georgs

374
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,960
dad's win, and that was twenty twenty two when we

375
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,559
moved over here to the Horseshoe in Paris for the

376
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:24,079
first time. Now Espen he won a bracelet. That summer,

377
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,279
he won the tag team event alongside Patrick Leonard aka Pads,

378
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:29,839
but still pretty unknown.

379
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely unknown, especially here in America. Obviously plays a

380
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:36,559
lot of the European events played online, but very unknown

381
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,359
to the wider audience.

382
00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:40,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, for like for those of us that

383
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,839
kind of are deeper into the industry and follow things

384
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,839
and are like, oh, okay, I spend like a big

385
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,240
online guy, you know whatnot okay, cool story, but like

386
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:52,079
we know it's not going to resonate beyond the very

387
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,880
even like the inner circle of the Pope community. Right now,

388
00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:58,960
we did have a decent heads up match with your

389
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,799
boy Adrian Attenborough. I mean obviously obviously that it was

390
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:06,160
a marathon, but also that one hand that took like

391
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,240
twenty six minutes or something insane, Like that hand alone,

392
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,559
which is the final hand, was just absolutely wild. So

393
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,519
I think that helped ultimately, like being results oriented, that

394
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,160
helped that final table. How like grueling that heads up

395
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,880
match was if you're gonna look at like the notable

396
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,640
pros from that final table. Let me just run through

397
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,160
the list of who was at it. Felipe Suki, Adrian Attenborough,

398
00:20:27,839 --> 00:20:32,920
Mattia Doebrich, Mickey Dueck, Matthew Sue, John Eames, Jeffrey Farnes,

399
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:36,880
Aaron ducksak and Espen Georges Dad. I mean we already

400
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,680
talked about George Dad, we talked about Adrian Attenborough. I mean,

401
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,680
Matthew Sue was kind of a no name within the industry.

402
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:46,359
John Eames, no name within the industry, Mickey Dueck, no

403
00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:48,799
name within the industry. But in no way, shape or form,

404
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,400
is like the common poker fan going to know who

405
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,119
any of these people are at this final table. So

406
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:55,039
that's ultimately like kind of where this one fell short.

407
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:58,119
I would say from a technical aspect, I think this

408
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,680
is a very good final table, yes, but like star power, headlines,

409
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,200
all that sort of stuff, that's where it falls short.

410
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:08,720
Which again is fine for all those of us that

411
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,400
love poker, But if you want to hit that home run,

412
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:13,519
and if we're always like, you know what can help

413
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:16,559
poker get into the mainstream war, you know this unfortunately

414
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,839
just isn't going to do it. Twenty twenty three, we

415
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:26,079
got Stephen Jones, Juan Masierras, Daniel Hosner, Adam Walton, Ruslin Priedrich,

416
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:31,680
Dean Hutchison, Toby Lewis, Daniel Weinman and Jan Peter Yachman.

417
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,640
After the fact, with this one, you got Daniel Winman

418
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,880
winning it. Of course he had that big hand. I

419
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,519
figuret I it was on day seven or day eight

420
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:42,160
when he hit that jack on the turn, which was

421
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,640
absolutely incredible. Wineman is extremely well liked with the poker community,

422
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,799
has been around for a very very long time. But

423
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,319
still like this is another one of those where it's

424
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,680
it's just short on names. Yeah, you know, coming into

425
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,920
the thing, right, I mean, Toby Lewis, I would say,

426
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,839
is arguably the biggest name here now I'm talking about

427
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:05,000
going into it coming out of it now. Obviously Daniel

428
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,839
Wyman is a bigger name because he won the damn thing.

429
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: But I think Daniel Wyman's bigger than Toby Lewis.

430
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:13,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would say, like internationally it's probably

431
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,279
Toby Lewis. Like on a global scale, which is that

432
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:18,000
poker is a global game, I would say, I mean,

433
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,440
if not they're They're like, it's like.

434
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: It's right there, but yeah, I yeah, you're right, it's

435
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,880
probably yeah, one A, one B for those two.

436
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,079
Speaker 1: I mean, like the International Pull, you got Juan Monsierras,

437
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,240
you got Ruslin preject, but like Ruslin doesn't really speak

438
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,160
English at all, so that was very difficult to resonate.

439
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:40,799
Juan Monsierras is like kind of in and out, you know,

440
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,839
for those of us that like follow the industry. He

441
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,200
had a lot of like online success way back in

442
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,319
the day, like his dad played online all that sort

443
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,240
of stuff. Like nobody outside of poker knows that stuff. So,

444
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:54,880
you know, casual fans, it's just hard. It's hard to

445
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,519
latch on if you're a casual fan, right. I feel

446
00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:01,680
like what I'm getting at here is like I think

447
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,160
a lot of people tune in to the WSP main

448
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,839
event for the final table only, right, So when the

449
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,759
casual fan pulls up the list of the final nine,

450
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:13,680
are they going to be like I'm gonna watch that,

451
00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:14,880
or are they going to be like, who the heck

452
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,960
are these people? So I feel like some of these

453
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,400
final tables it's more like who the heck are these people?

454
00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: I think it's the other way though, if you're coming

455
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,039
in to just watch the final table the last like

456
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,000
two days, I don't think you care who makes it.

457
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,200
I think it's the die hards or the people like

458
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:31,319
kind of you and me that consume poker a lot

459
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,240
of the time, which obviously have some people or storylines

460
00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:37,359
of story ocs we're cheering for, and when then it

461
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,119
doesn't get fulfilled at the final table, we may switch off. Now,

462
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,400
I know you and me are gonna watch it, but

463
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,920
I'm saying that the people that consume a lot mega

464
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,160
you know what, this final table doesn't interest me that much.

465
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch it.

466
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,519
Speaker 2: But the guys that are coming just for final table,

467
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:51,839
I don't think it matis who's on there.

468
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll agree with that, but I think I'm more

469
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,200
talking to, for example, my mom, Okay, like she was

470
00:23:57,279 --> 00:24:00,000
kind of following it partly because I made a deeper

471
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,759
but then she kind of got sucked into it, so

472
00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:06,519
she was she's invested in. Yeah, she's invested in like

473
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:08,839
Layo Margett's like she wants the woman to make it,

474
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,039
so now she's gonna watch. She has no idea what's

475
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:12,960
going on poker. Every time something was on the screen,

476
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,599
She's like, okay, like, so why does queens beat jacks?

477
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,319
Like and I had it was like trying to talk

478
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:18,880
to a two year old about poker. I mean, I

479
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,880
love my mom, but it was very difficult. I would

480
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:24,799
I would have rolled so much if I was. No,

481
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,119
it's just you know, she just doesn't know. Yeah, but

482
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,240
you know now she's invested and she doesn't care to

483
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:32,680
watch the final table, but she's invested now because she

484
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:36,200
has that that female tie, right. So like it's those

485
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,960
types of people who are invested for for those reasons

486
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,359
who get sucked in based on a story, you know, Yeah,

487
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,200
the people who are kind of always like going to

488
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:45,279
tune in for the final table and just the final table.

489
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,559
We're probably gonna get them, right, But how do we

490
00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:49,799
how do we draw the attraction of people who are

491
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:51,960
like not even paying attention and then all of a

492
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,880
sudden they're like, oh wait, there's a there's a woman

493
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,359
at the final table. Oh wait, Grinder's back. Like you know,

494
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,640
Grinder to me is like the way I viewed and

495
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,000
I know you'll get this that plenty of people out

496
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,559
there will probably have no idea what I'm talking about,

497
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:05,279
but plenty of people will have an idea what I'm

498
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:10,240
talking about wrestling coming back, but like the old guys

499
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,599
like the stone Colds, the Shawn Michaels, the rock Et cetera.

500
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:17,160
Like Grinder to stone Colds. I'm saying like those are

501
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,119
the those are the the Poker boom stars, like those guys, right,

502
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,000
and like there's obviously a good selection of the wrestling

503
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:28,480
audience that has just followed it the whole way through, right,

504
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:30,359
and they're all about the new stars. But for me,

505
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,000
I don't know. I kind of was like I lost

506
00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:36,359
after like those characters, the Attitude era and whatnot. I

507
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,599
kind of was like, you know what, I don't really

508
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,519
like these new guys that much, so I'm not as

509
00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:41,559
attracted to it. So I kind of would go away.

510
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,920
But then if I saw like the Rock showing up

511
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,519
on WrestleMania, like I'm in so like there's gonna be

512
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:49,400
those people that got into poker, you know, during the boom,

513
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:51,920
might have fallen out from it, and then they're like,

514
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,839
oh wait, Grinder's back like that those people, which I'm

515
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,119
I'm already getting a lot of messages like oh my god, Grinder,

516
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,680
like from my friends that like I came up playing

517
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,920
home games with who have no interest at all a

518
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,079
poker anymore. But now they're like Grinder again, like he's back.

519
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: I am very confident that several Lola list those including

520
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,720
producer Rich but particularly Mickey Daphin Chat Holloway, would love

521
00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:15,079
for us right now to just stop talking about the

522
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,200
main event. Find all the old school, the Mike Manosius,

523
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,480
the Daniel grind As to feel home is, the Sean Chakhans,

524
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,680
the corey' Zeidman's, all of them, and then allocate them

525
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,880
an attitude or a wrestler if like that would be

526
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,680
the most off topic thing to do right now, but

527
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,759
I know there's people at him saying, please please do this.

528
00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean also, like Grinder is a He's a good

529
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,480
example of of like a a wrestler's arc, because so

530
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,519
many of these wrestlers kind of they come in, they

531
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,680
have like a one to two year high where they're

532
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,240
like the biggest thing in the world, and then they

533
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,000
kind of just fizzle out and like you move on,

534
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,240
Like obviously you have the ones that are like they're

535
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:49,480
they're around for decades.

536
00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:52,319
Speaker 2: Right, So if he wins this, right, let's say he

537
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:53,839
wins the main event, and he's kind of a stone

538
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,759
could he is?

539
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: Okay, you got to relax. Look at stone cold. Steve

540
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,599
Auston's career was like not like ten to fifteen years.

541
00:27:01,839 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: But so called is on the Mount Rushmore a restless okay,

542
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,640
but I'm saying Grinder is on the Mount rush During

543
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,799
during his height, Grinder was like way up there, like

544
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,480
way way up there. If Grinder wins this, he's more

545
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,400
like Cody roads Pad because.

546
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: You can't even use anyone from the current age because

547
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,359
you have to you have to use the old school guys.

548
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,759
You have to go back. You have to go back time.

549
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,200
You have to go back. Okay, just literally I remember

550
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,039
turning on like every w WPT episode and it was

551
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,640
the Grinder, the Grinder the ground like just in your face,

552
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:37,839
non freaking.

553
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: Like at the at like he was just at the top.

554
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:46,119
He was absolutely at the Can he be Chris Jeriica? No,

555
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,799
But I'm saying, like, listen.

556
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: To rank wrestlers right now, But I don't think that,

557
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:55,559
So I don't. I personally don't. I might not put

558
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:58,160
someone called on my Mount Rushmore. He might be like

559
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,519
five or six. I'm just saying lists the poker place

560
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,799
you got you got the two Fills, you got Daniel

561
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,279
who's behind them? Grinders in that group behind them, I'm like,

562
00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:12,079
like fame and noariety, not in.

563
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: Generation right, you know you're not talking about Doyle and

564
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,240
all those guys. We're talking like the two thousands on

565
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,279
them was where we grew up with poker. Yeah, like

566
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:20,640
the people I think I really like, I kind of

567
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,960
want to put out scends in ahead of that.

568
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: But I'm also talking about like, you know, r P Dor,

569
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,839
like the people who are still alive and still around now.

570
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,519
Like it's like Grinder Madisow Like like those guys.

571
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: Madison might be ahead of Grinder.

572
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not like it's like so much ahead.

573
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:39,599
They're all very Yeah, they're all like I think people

574
00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:41,359
out there kind of try and get to what I'm

575
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:41,839
talking about.

576
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,759
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, we get it. We but anyway, just continue,

577
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,599
So let's move on to twenty twenty four. Huch was

578
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,480
obviously last year.

579
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:53,359
Speaker 1: We had Boris Angelov, Malow, Latinwall, Brian Kim, Nicholas Ostet,

580
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,359
Joe Sarrock, Jordan Griff, Jonathan Tomayo, Andres Gonzalez, and Jason Segel.

581
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,400
I mean a lot of crushers here. Boris Angelov Crusher

582
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,519
mostly online, Brian Kim crusher a lot of high stakes

583
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:09,200
live cash, Nicholas Us that Lena nine hundred, one of

584
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,960
the absolute best online players, if not the best online

585
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,880
tournament player ever. You know, Joe sur Rock crusher for

586
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,599
a long time, you know. But it's just like again,

587
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:22,759
very technically solid here, but no like to us, Nicholas

588
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:24,920
Us that is a big name. No one knows who

589
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,279
the heck Nicholas. It's like no offense to Nicholas, Like,

590
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:28,720
I love the guy, you know and like, and we

591
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:30,359
know who he are is, but casual fans don't know

592
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,319
who it is. You know, Brian Kim is one of

593
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:34,680
my really good friends. No one knows who he is

594
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,880
casual like, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, people

595
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,720
might walk around here and be like, oh, like you

596
00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:42,480
know Brian Kim, Like, but casual fans again, they're just not.

597
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: Something of him petting a kangaroo that he put on

598
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:48,559
his Instagram, like yesterday is up coming here to play poker.

599
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,519
Speaker 1: Yeah he's just chilling, you know. So again, this one

600
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,880
just it lacks those storylines, It lacks mass appeal, It

601
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,319
lacks that hook to suck people in, so you know,

602
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:01,759
again recognizable and games, you know, but really no standout

603
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:05,680
storylines to suck in more casual audiences. So you know,

604
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,559
that's kind of where we are with these recent ones.

605
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,640
So I would say the twenty twenty five wspe and

606
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:14,680
Men final table compared to these recent uh what is it?

607
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,119
Four one, two, three, four, yeah, recent four. I mean,

608
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:24,000
it's it's leaps and bounds better. Obviously, the fact that

609
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:26,079
we have a woman there makes it way better. But

610
00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:29,039
even if you were to take Layomar gets out like,

611
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,960
it's still better, right, just with the fact that you

612
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,839
have Grinder, you finally got a really big name. You know,

613
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,519
you got Kenny Hollard story is incredible, you got you

614
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,920
got the pro the pros boxes checked with Adam HENDRICKX.

615
00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:43,559
You know you have those things. So think you're right.

616
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,279
You know you got you got kind of that recreational player,

617
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:49,480
every man token old guy in uh Wa wasnak the

618
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:58,240
chip leaders. So you have a bit of it all here, right,

619
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,359
if you want to dig a little further, I mean

620
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,599
the Jared mc guinea thing is very cool, where a

621
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,000
professional snowboarder was trying out for the Olympics. I believe

622
00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:10,200
is how the story went. Got injured, ended up, didn't

623
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,680
make it. But if you want to look even further,

624
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,440
he lost his brother in October twenty twenty two in

625
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,319
a motorcycle crash about I think two or three weeks later,

626
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,799
he went to play the was Sippy Circuit event, the

627
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,200
main event in Lake Tahoe, and he basically pledged or

628
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,000
called his shot that he was going to win it

629
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,880
for his brother, for his brother Bobby, who was thirty

630
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,519
six years old when he had the unfortunate crash, and

631
00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:36,319
he did win it. He won the whole damn thing

632
00:31:36,319 --> 00:31:37,839
for one hundred and fifty three K. So that's a

633
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:39,960
really cool, damn story. Now, Jared McGann has got a

634
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,400
lot of work to do. Twenty three point six millions

635
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:45,119
is the shortest stack, but still that's an awesome story.

636
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,759
It's got a bit of that underdog appeal. It's also

637
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:49,920
you know, for any athletes out there. You know, I'm

638
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,960
sure plenty of people out there who have gotten injured

639
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:56,400
their careers have you know, basically been put aside and

640
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,640
you can't do anything. You know, there are a lot

641
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,960
of people out there who are athletes then find poker

642
00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:04,480
to you know, get that competitive edge, and Jared mc

643
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,359
guinney's one of them, and here he is at the

644
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:09,440
was B Main Event final table. So all in all,

645
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:13,240
I think this final table is pretty freaking incredible. You

646
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:16,039
got the poker prestige, you got michaelmas Rocky, you got

647
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:19,279
Adam Hendrix, you got Kenny Hollard. Okay, I'll put them

648
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:23,440
in like the poker prestige thing, right, the emotional stakes

649
00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:26,160
as it pertains to the viewers. I think that's kind

650
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,880
of another little bucket here that we can put people in.

651
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,880
You know, that involves like the history element with Layo Margetz.

652
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:35,039
I guess you could also put the Kenny Hollard and

653
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,119
Michael Moss Rocky redemption part in here because they both

654
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,480
made this finel table before they didn't win it, but

655
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:43,960
now they have a chance again. And like I mean,

656
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,759
it's you and I were talking before we went on

657
00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:49,559
on air about how it's so hard to even like

658
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,880
cash this thing and so many people go forever without

659
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,960
cashing it. And these guys have two shots to win

660
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,440
the damn thing at the final table, which is freaking wild.

661
00:32:56,559 --> 00:32:59,319
And you also have, as it pertains to emotional steaks.

662
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,880
I think like, I think a lot of like older

663
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,559
people out there will just latch onto Johnnock. He's the

664
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:09,599
recreational grinder guy. He's a bit of a total unknown.

665
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,319
He just seems like you're everyday man, just the amateur

666
00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:15,200
of the wreck, you know, who's coming out here taking

667
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,440
a shot. He's he's for sure held his own. So

668
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,960
he's not like any sort of fish out of water

669
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,519
when I say amateur recreational, but just a regular dude.

670
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:25,000
And he's in a big moment, and he's obviously thriving.

671
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:27,240
He's got the freaking chip lead. You know, this could

672
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,319
be that that fairy tale type story that you know,

673
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,359
you see so often that a lot of these guys,

674
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:34,519
even if you don't know their names, right, So we

675
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:38,799
had again going through those winners kry Aldemir espen George said,

676
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,319
Daniel Weinman, and then last year Jonathan Tomorrow. Even if

677
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:46,039
those guys aren't the biggest names in the world, they're

678
00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:50,279
still hardened pros. So what I'm getting at is if

679
00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:53,599
Wasnock is able to come out on top, that shows

680
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,519
a lot of the average poker players out there are

681
00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:58,559
the regular people that like, yeah, that can still happen.

682
00:33:58,599 --> 00:34:00,319
You can still do that. You don't have to be

683
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,160
this this like crazy crusher in the game for you know,

684
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:06,079
thirty five years playing every single day professionally in this

685
00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:08,360
and that. No, you can take your shot. You can

686
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,800
live that dream. So that's what I like, you know,

687
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,119
with the with the wasnik, I think it would handle there.

688
00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:17,039
Speaker 2: You're right, the majority of the audience watching this is

689
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:20,440
going to be you know, Middle America, right, like you said,

690
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,559
they're tuning in, you know that for this like iconic

691
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:27,480
early event, and this is who most people would resonate

692
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:30,679
the most with, you know, an older gentleman amateur, not

693
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,639
a professional poker player, not a not a you know, grinder.

694
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,639
And it's also someone we haven't seen win in a

695
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:40,440
long long time. Now. If you go back, like when

696
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,480
do you think the last amateur you know, I think

697
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,599
it's going to have to probably be Jerry Yang two

698
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:49,519
thousand and seven. I don't think you can count and

699
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,280
sand Well and Sam played played regularly.

700
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:58,079
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's an amateur, I would think, yeah, but.

701
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:00,119
Speaker 2: I think he went and played poker like a he

702
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:02,079
was like a poker player talking about.

703
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: Like he was for sure a gambler.

704
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: I'll tell you I mean I'm not really talking about

705
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,119
the skill set. I'm talking about more like they're more

706
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,880
profession based than anything. Yeah, yeah, no, I get I

707
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,719
feel like we have to really start going back, Like

708
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,920
you know, obviously Jamie Go, Joe Hasham.

709
00:35:16,639 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if you really want to lean into

710
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,079
it with John Woznek, and I'm probably gonna getripped apart

711
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:23,719
for saying this, but if you really want to lean

712
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,760
into it, you say, he's the money maker, like he's

713
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,840
like he's because now, obviously Moneymaker has the name it

714
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,840
was when poker started to really boom. He got the

715
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,320
online satellite stuff, all that sort of stuff. But what

716
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,519
I'm saying is his moneymaker was a recreational amateur player

717
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,039
among a field of pros. And that is what wasn't

718
00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:49,000
to get I mean amateur or sorry, moneymaker was an

719
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:53,119
accountant from Tennessee. This guy is an investment consultant, father

720
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:55,840
of four, fifty years old out of Washington. I mean

721
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,760
he's not he's not a pro like so it just

722
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,639
it's showing that, like listen, you can do this. Yeah,

723
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:04,159
you know, you can play good on this stage and

724
00:36:04,199 --> 00:36:05,920
the biggest tournament in the world, and you can break

725
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,599
through like Wosnik is doing and that is truly incredible

726
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:11,719
to see. So and it doesn't matter, like all you

727
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,320
need coming into poker, you just need the money to

728
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,440
sit at the table. He had ten k, just like

729
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,360
everyone else had ten k, you know, and he battled

730
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,960
with the best to him and he's gotten here, and

731
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,159
that's freaking cool to see. You know. It gives even

732
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:26,639
someone like me, you know, who might play more than Wasnock.

733
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,719
But still, I don't think that I'm necessarily like the

734
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,920
best player in the field by far. You know, even

735
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,320
as I was going deep, I was like, there's a

736
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,320
lot of freaking good players around me that are really

737
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,199
really fucking good. But like, still, you can play really

738
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:41,320
well for a shorter period of time in the grand

739
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,440
scheme of things, you know, six seven days, you can

740
00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:45,679
hit some cards and you can be that person. You

741
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,079
can be that story. So like that's what I think

742
00:36:48,159 --> 00:36:50,599
everyone needs to lean into. With John Wasnock, Like I

743
00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:52,920
wouldn't just look at him and be like, oh, he's

744
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,639
just like he's just an unknown, like we don't care

745
00:36:55,679 --> 00:36:58,280
about him whatever. No, that's a cool ass story that

746
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,000
like those types of people can do it. I looked

747
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:03,920
that similar to Lee when twenty twenty one George Holmes,

748
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,440
Like George Holmes is like he's just the everyman, you know,

749
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:09,199
He's just a dude, like probably plays a home game

750
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:11,800
a couple times a month with his buddy's like whatever,

751
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,039
you know, like doesn't really have all that that much

752
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,159
you know, money in like career, live tournament earnings and

753
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:20,039
that sort of stuff. I think for Wasnak, it was

754
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,400
around like one hundred and fifty k coming into this tournament.

755
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:25,000
So I'm sure there's plenty of people out there that

756
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:27,079
are listening to this podcast, that are watching on YouTube

757
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:28,480
or that are going to tune in for the final

758
00:37:28,519 --> 00:37:31,800
table have one hundred and fifty k and earnings or less,

759
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,719
you know. And but you can do it, like you

760
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,360
can be that person. Yeah, Like and that's that's dope

761
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,800
to me. So that's where I would like to lean in,

762
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,519
you know, with that one. And and hopefully like he

763
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:45,559
kind of embraces that too, right And then of course,

764
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:48,079
you know, we still have those those quote unquote underdogs,

765
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:50,159
I guess or unknown players. You got the Jared mc

766
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:54,159
guinea I talked about him, uh Lukabadjokovic, uh Day Hung

767
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,079
Lee and then Braxton Duneaway, Braxton don't always kind of

768
00:37:57,159 --> 00:38:02,199
in that same sort of like creational player ish not

769
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,480
maybe not as much so as w Wasnock because he

770
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,280
won the Monsters to actually, you know, but but still

771
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,280
like he's he's got a job from from everything I

772
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,519
can tell, he works in the oil and gas industry,

773
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:14,960
so you know, he's.

774
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,599
Speaker 2: Got a job, has poker chops, just doesn't play full

775
00:38:17,639 --> 00:38:18,920
time like some of the like you know, like an

776
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:19,559
Adam Hendrix.

777
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, I spoke to him.

778
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 2: He likes to play high stakes cash games, you know obviously,

779
00:38:25,039 --> 00:38:27,000
like you said, has the Musstack brace that plays some

780
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:30,239
events here and there. But yeah, he's not he's sole income.

781
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,800
He is, you know, real real job, you know, real

782
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,000
man job back in Texas.

783
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I kind of look at his story like

784
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,679
you can have some success like he did in the

785
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,400
Monster Stack, and then you can go on to really

786
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,519
much bigger and better things in poker. So you know,

787
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:47,119
if you it doesn't have to be the Monster Stack.

788
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:48,639
You could win a tournament for one hundre k, two

789
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:50,920
undre k whatever it is. You know, come put it

790
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,480
up as to be a little bit next thing. You know,

791
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,880
you got to that fil table. So yeah, I think

792
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,559
there's a lot of really cool, you know, storylines here. Overall,

793
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:04,519
I think it's the most complete, headline worthy final table

794
00:39:04,599 --> 00:39:08,639
that we've had, you know, probably. I know I only

795
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:11,480
talked about the ones specifically. I got into going back

796
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,159
to twenty twenty one, but I don't know, like when

797
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:18,760
was the last like really like headlining one, Like I

798
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:25,440
mean not look at the banners like two thousand, fifteen fourteen,

799
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:28,480
Like who is who are those years? Like that?

800
00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 2: You mean like Martin Jacobson years?

801
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: Was it? Martin Jacobson, Ryan Reees, Like I think when.

802
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: We look back, we we can look back in them

803
00:39:37,559 --> 00:39:39,440
now and say, oh, that was a good year. I

804
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,360
think in the moment, you know, you have a lot

805
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,599
of these players like look at look at the Jeremy

806
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:45,760
Osmas Yeah, no one, you hear Jeremy Osmus was he

807
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,840
was another one. Now you look back, he's like, well,

808
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,639
this was the story. Jeremy Osmos was the the cash

809
00:39:50,679 --> 00:39:52,719
game guy, like he was the he was like the

810
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,679
longtime experienced unknown poah. Yeah, but he was still he was.

811
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,199
Then we'll look at where his career has come. Yeah, sure,

812
00:39:59,199 --> 00:40:01,079
you know I saw, Like I think when we look

813
00:40:01,159 --> 00:40:04,679
back retrospectively at all these other years, we say, oh,

814
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,880
that was actually pretty good, But like at that moment,

815
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,360
we're playing, eh, a bit of a dodge.

816
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I also think that, you know, part

817
00:40:11,559 --> 00:40:13,920
of what I'm trying to get at is that in

818
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,760
past years, more recently, it's almost like we've had to

819
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,440
do a lot of work to sell the Final Table

820
00:40:20,679 --> 00:40:22,599
to people. Yeah. I don't think you really have to

821
00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:24,559
sell the Final table to people. Here, you kind of

822
00:40:24,639 --> 00:40:27,119
just say what it is. You got the woman, you

823
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:29,840
got the superstar and grinder, you know, you got the

824
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,960
pro like, you got the the you know, the the

825
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,400
recreational guy, you know, the you know for all the

826
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,440
everyday dudes out there, the dreamers, like, you got a

827
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,960
bit of everything. I think it's gonna be a lot

828
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,800
of fun to watch it. I'm very, very, very excited

829
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,840
to watch it all play out. I do want to

830
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,920
do two little segments here. One is a rank this,

831
00:40:50,119 --> 00:41:06,920
oh babe finally coming around. Let's rank the remaining players

832
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:11,320
the final nine in terms of most likely to win

833
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,400
the event in our opinion. And we'll start with number nine,

834
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,639
which means least likely to win, and we'll go up

835
00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:19,480
to who we think has the biggest chance. So you

836
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,559
go first, Jared win, Jamie same.

837
00:41:21,559 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 2: And it's nothing against Jared. You just got twenty six

838
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,159
You got to get fifteen big lines. Okay, you got

839
00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:27,840
twenty six million or whatever it is. You got fifteen

840
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,599
big lines, a lot of work to do. So you know,

841
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,159
I'm gonna put him at the bottom. Who's your next one? Uh,

842
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:36,920
it's gonna be Dan hung Ley Almost other shows sack

843
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,719
but just watching him seem to be a little timid

844
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,920
when he played, so like.

845
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: So was there there was there a moment where he

846
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,440
had aces, but like was it kind of shy for

847
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,360
a second to put.

848
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 2: Money in saying this I have heard this, but I haven't.

849
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: It was like it was very weird. He like kind

850
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,000
of like, I mean, obviously you don't want to get

851
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,559
all in at any point. It doesn't matter. I don't

852
00:41:55,559 --> 00:41:57,000
care if you have aces or not. Just because you

853
00:41:57,039 --> 00:41:59,239
get all in prefloulf anything can happened, right, It's it's

854
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,840
obviously chaos. Probably only with this says no questions, no,

855
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,000
of course, but like I think he kind of like

856
00:42:05,559 --> 00:42:07,960
it definitely looked like he was like, oh, like, oh,

857
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:10,239
I mean I guess here we go, you know, so

858
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,159
that was like, I don't know. I saw that, and

859
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,199
I heard about that, and some people were messaging me

860
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,320
about it, and I'm kind of like, hmm, yeah, I

861
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,719
don't know, you know, so I mean, we'll see you

862
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,840
never know. I also got him second. He's also I

863
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,760
believe he's the second short step is the second shot

864
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,920
I got Luka Padjokovic next. Yeah, well those are the three. No,

865
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:33,360
that's not the next shortest stuff. No, but those those

866
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,039
three are in order for if you pick those three names,

867
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:38,679
we listed them in order of chips. You know what

868
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,519
I'm saying, Like mc guineas is short. Is shorter than

869
00:42:42,559 --> 00:42:45,400
the joke rich? Right? But yes, but that's that's what

870
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:45,719
I'm saying.

871
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it yet, who's your next?

872
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:50,559
Speaker 1: One? Number six?

873
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: This is where I'm gonna I hope we have the

874
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,800
same list to hold the whole way now. I'm choosing

875
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,719
this person mainly just due to having a horrible seat

876
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:05,440
at the table, and I honestly didn't even look at seats.

877
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,960
Seats are very important, you know.

878
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: I was just firing from the hipper. It's not against

879
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:11,320
this guy.

880
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,039
Speaker 2: I just think that he's gonna have a hard time

881
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:16,400
getting any traction with where he's sitting, and he's gonna

882
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,639
trend down, trend down, turned down, and then it's just

883
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,079
you know, it's gonna be in a spot where you lose.

884
00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:22,639
But I'm gonna take Braxton down away next Yeah, I

885
00:43:22,679 --> 00:43:24,559
gotta reach a little bit in the draft.

886
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: I got Layomar Jets, okay. And my reasoning is like,

887
00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:33,840
I don't know, I feel like you have a day off.

888
00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:36,639
I would think it would be better for Layomar Jets

889
00:43:36,639 --> 00:43:41,159
personally if they just played today, less time to think

890
00:43:41,199 --> 00:43:44,280
about things, to let that pressure sink in. You know,

891
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:48,800
everything left, right and center is being made of the

892
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,840
fact that she is the first woman to make this

893
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,760
file table in thirty years. That has to come with

894
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,400
a lot of burden on your shoulders, right, a lot

895
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,079
of pressure on you. You know you, I mean you, you

896
00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:01,639
said it yesterday that you think she probably wants to

897
00:44:01,679 --> 00:44:05,320
get fifth, which is what Barbara Nrick got. Well, if

898
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,639
that is, let's say that's the case. Obviously we don't know, right,

899
00:44:07,639 --> 00:44:10,039
but let's say that's the case, then you're thinking about it,

900
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,639
whereas you're not just going in and playing freely. So

901
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,679
you know, we'll see right, It's it's a lot to

902
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,360
make the final table as a woman, and like you

903
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,800
have all those people like talking about it and asking

904
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,239
you about it and whatever. So I don't know, does

905
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,320
that just constantly weigh on her mind and then it

906
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,000
allows her to not play as freely? You know, we'll

907
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,480
see very early on. Of course, I also think she

908
00:44:31,519 --> 00:44:34,119
does have a pretty bad spot at the table. She

909
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:36,679
got Kenny Hollard next to her, Braxton done Away next

910
00:44:36,679 --> 00:44:39,159
to her, was knocked next to her, Like it's just

911
00:44:39,199 --> 00:44:41,679
it's bad. Those those four seats are very bad, so

912
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,719
that that's going to be quite difficult, you know, and

913
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,519
especially when like if she's in the I believe it's

914
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:52,039
cut off or hijack, Miss Rocky will be in the

915
00:44:52,039 --> 00:44:55,239
big blind, which he's going to play any hand. The

916
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,400
guy is ridiculous, So all right, who's your next one?

917
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,840
So kind of touching on Lea.

918
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 2: So I think that, you know, she's very emotional after

919
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,159
bagging chips.

920
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: I think this actual day off is actually very good

921
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:08,039
for her.

922
00:45:08,639 --> 00:45:12,599
Speaker 2: However, she's made the final table, she's achieved that milestone.

923
00:45:12,559 --> 00:45:16,679
What's the next miles sign? It's getting fifth place? What's

924
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:17,400
the next mile sign?

925
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 1: After that?

926
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: It's now in fourth place, and then it just moves up. Right,

927
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,039
I think she is going to play very cautious, very tight,

928
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,039
not take any risks to try and.

929
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: Equal Barbara and Right.

930
00:45:31,199 --> 00:45:33,039
Speaker 2: And you know, I feel like we're going to see

931
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,679
her slowly chipped down with due to position, due to

932
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,760
the fact that I think she's trying to achieve that

933
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,760
next benchmark a fifth place or better. And I want

934
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,039
to be surprised if she's grinding, you know, ten eleven,

935
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:46,599
twelve bigs as people are hitting the rail. She gets

936
00:45:46,639 --> 00:45:49,800
to fifth place, she achieves that that next benchmark, a

937
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,039
little bit of weight off her chest, she loosens up,

938
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:55,599
maybe she finds that a six to oh like like

939
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,280
Joey did or something. So I have her laddering up

940
00:45:59,320 --> 00:45:59,960
to fifth place.

941
00:46:01,079 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, listen, Let's also make no mistake about it.

942
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,119
When when Barbara Enright made that final table and finished

943
00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:10,079
in fifth place, Dan Harring didn't won it. There were

944
00:46:10,119 --> 00:46:13,039
two hundred and seventy seven people. I mean, this is nine,

945
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,639
seven hundred and thirty five. So the fact that she's

946
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:18,199
even made it to the final nine like percentage wise,

947
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,320
she's gotten way farther yep than Barbara Enright did okay,

948
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,719
you know, so like that's if I was advising her,

949
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,639
I would basically try and tell her that be like listen,

950
00:46:28,639 --> 00:46:32,119
like I understand, I understand, but I'm saying if you

951
00:46:32,119 --> 00:46:34,840
were trying to like help her like get through it mentally,

952
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,599
you'd be like, don't worry about that, like you've gotten

953
00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:40,000
this far for a reason, Like, just play your game.

954
00:46:40,039 --> 00:46:42,239
Do your thing right. The fact that you made the

955
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,320
final table, that is enough. That is all what everyone wanted.

956
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,199
How we were always rooting every single year for a

957
00:46:48,199 --> 00:46:50,800
woman to make the fol table. That is done, okay,

958
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:59,639
so just go do your thing. I got John Wosnock next,

959
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,360
and my reasoning is wow, So two things. I know.

960
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,039
I didn't say that I looked at seeding position, but

961
00:47:07,079 --> 00:47:10,199
I remember thinking about that his seeding position was particularly

962
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,440
annoying because he's got Michael mcrocky on his direct left,

963
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,519
and miss Rocky is in every fricking hand all the time. Like, so,

964
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,840
now I know, Waznock obviously finished with a chip one

965
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,599
hundred and eight million, he's got like sixty eight big

966
00:47:24,639 --> 00:47:28,360
lines or whatever it is. But I didn't think like

967
00:47:29,679 --> 00:47:32,280
when I was watching that he like went and got

968
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,480
the chips more so that they he kind of just

969
00:47:34,559 --> 00:47:36,280
let them come to him, which is not bad, not

970
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,800
a bad strategy, but I'm saying like, if he if

971
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,719
he kind of just sits back in the beginning, maybe

972
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,440
we see a Braxton Dunaway or a Michael mcsrocky, somebody

973
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,800
who's a little bit more active and aggressive. They take

974
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,639
the chip lead from him, right, and then he just

975
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,440
kind of starts to like slide on it. So I

976
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,840
mean it's gonna be very interesting, you know. I always

977
00:47:55,039 --> 00:47:58,480
I always want both as like the poker player in me,

978
00:47:58,599 --> 00:48:01,039
the commentator in me, the know the analyst in me,

979
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,039
the poker fan in me. I always want the chipleader

980
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:05,920
at any final table. It doesn't matter if it's this

981
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,320
final table or you know, some other final table. I

982
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,079
want the chip leader to be the one driving the

983
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:11,880
action and getting in there. And you don't think he's

984
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,119
gonna do any am, I don't know. But also I

985
00:48:16,119 --> 00:48:19,440
feel like if he tries, miss Rocky's right there, yeah,

986
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,920
and like Miss Rocky might like he like Wasnock might

987
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,079
like literally raise the first hand, and Miss Rocky might

988
00:48:24,119 --> 00:48:25,480
be like, you know what, I'm just gonna three about

989
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,079
this guy, because I'm gonna say, I'm gonna set the

990
00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:30,400
pace like Miss Rocky. That's how Miss Rocky is. He's

991
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,360
a freaking gorilla out there, like he's gonna be He's

992
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,280
just gonna put his fist down like as soon as

993
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,440
he can. I feel, like I said yesterday on the

994
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:40,719
last episode that you know, I think like Miss Rocky

995
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,079
and Dunaway are gonna just clash in a big pot.

996
00:48:43,159 --> 00:48:45,679
That's part of this. Like I think Miss Rocky is

997
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,280
gonna like come in and like basically try and like

998
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,239
run the table. That's what Miss Rocky's gonna do. And

999
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,079
if Wasnock is right there trying to get active and

1000
00:48:54,119 --> 00:48:56,320
Miss Rocky kind of tries to shut it down, then

1001
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,440
maybe Wasnock just kind of says, like, you know what, Okay,

1002
00:48:58,519 --> 00:49:00,559
it can be your table. That's fine. I'm gonna sit back.

1003
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,719
But if you sit back, it doesn't necessarily mean that

1004
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,760
you've got the best chance to win. So that's why

1005
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,239
I put Wasnock there. I also it's also part of

1006
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,119
his I don't really know too much about his game,

1007
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,320
Like I don't know he.

1008
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,519
Speaker 2: Wasn't part of the broadcast as much as like a

1009
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:13,079
Grinder was.

1010
00:49:13,199 --> 00:49:15,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of these other guys. I just I

1011
00:49:15,159 --> 00:49:17,119
know what to expect. I know what to expect from Grinder,

1012
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:18,679
I know what to expect from Adam Hendrix, I know

1013
00:49:18,679 --> 00:49:20,360
what to expect from Kenny Holler. Like I even know

1014
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,199
what to expect from Brexton Dunaway, right, So I just

1015
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,519
don't know as much about John Wasnock. Yeah, so that's

1016
00:49:26,559 --> 00:49:27,360
why I got him there.

1017
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: I think we need to make it kind of clear

1018
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,800
if for the people watching all listening, then we're just

1019
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:33,639
guessing and just you.

1020
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:34,599
Speaker 1: Know, criticing stuff.

1021
00:49:34,639 --> 00:49:36,039
Speaker 2: So like you know, we don't really know too much,

1022
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:38,239
but we're just trying to, you know, figure out how

1023
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,400
it might play out. So that's that's five people down, eliminated,

1024
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,679
going from the tournament, four players left. What this means

1025
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,119
that this is very important for those playing a long

1026
00:49:48,199 --> 00:49:51,599
hard We normally bag at three players remaining, so this

1027
00:49:51,679 --> 00:49:54,920
is essentially the day to bubble. Right now, we're down

1028
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,840
to four players. Sometimes we may take four, but normally

1029
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,800
we're going to play down to three. This is what

1030
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,719
depends on the pace it does. But you know, like

1031
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,239
I stat checked out.

1032
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:05,639
Speaker 1: I feel like I do feel like one of these

1033
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,599
years we're gonna like we're gonna play like eight hours

1034
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:11,719
with like eight people, yeah something like I just I

1035
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,360
don't know what year it's gonna be, but I feel

1036
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,119
like that's that's coming at some point. Like everyone's gonna

1037
00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:18,880
have like eighteen big blinds at one point and they're

1038
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,079
just gonna basically be like folding around. It's gonna be

1039
00:50:21,079 --> 00:50:23,039
a lot of just raise and take and that's it. Yeah,

1040
00:50:23,199 --> 00:50:25,199
Like that is that is the picturely gonna happen.

1041
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I have eliminating, eliminating fourth place Adam Hendrix

1042
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,599
and the reason I'm okay cool. So I spoke to

1043
00:50:33,599 --> 00:50:35,800
Adam damming a Bobby spot, but I believe he said

1044
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,920
he just has a couple swaps. Otherwise he's in for

1045
00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:43,519
the majority of the of the which which I would expect, Yeah,

1046
00:50:43,519 --> 00:50:45,039
which we would respect. So that what that means is

1047
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:47,119
what I'm trying to say is fourth place is three

1048
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:50,400
million dollars. His stack is worth a little over three

1049
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,400
million dollars. For someone that has, you know, such a

1050
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,400
big chunk of themselves, you know they are going to

1051
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,159
care more about loud obviously. Now, if you only have

1052
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:01,719
twenty five percent of thing, he might gamble a little

1053
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,239
bit because you're not gonna win as much. So Adam

1054
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,000
I realized, you know, he's basically equity of his starting

1055
00:51:07,039 --> 00:51:11,559
stack here, and you know he understands, you know, all

1056
00:51:11,559 --> 00:51:14,679
the dynamics or the ICM and I feel like this

1057
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,480
is the spot where he'll be comfortable, you know, taking

1058
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,599
a risk maybe to try and hey, if I can

1059
00:51:20,639 --> 00:51:23,280
double up here, I can have that aggression on the

1060
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,159
second day, I'm going to have don't forget. Let's talk

1061
00:51:26,159 --> 00:51:29,519
about Adam Hendrix's friend group's Shanna Shaw. He's got Francis Anderson,

1062
00:51:29,519 --> 00:51:31,119
He's got David Coleman. These guys are going.

1063
00:51:31,119 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: To be Ben Lynn. Oh god, Lady Gaga. That makes

1064
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,480
Lady Gaga is actually very tight.

1065
00:51:37,639 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 2: Making day two is I think the is more important

1066
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,360
for Adam Hendrix than nearly everyone else at the table

1067
00:51:44,599 --> 00:51:47,159
because of his core friend group, the fact that they

1068
00:51:47,159 --> 00:51:49,760
can analyze hands, they can talk through hands the next

1069
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,119
day talk about playing tendencies. So him making that is

1070
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,119
you know pretty big. I feel like maybe he gets

1071
00:51:56,159 --> 00:51:57,559
the four. He takes a little bit of a risk

1072
00:51:57,599 --> 00:51:59,559
to try and chip up make day two of the

1073
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:03,360
final time and then have that advantage of his friend

1074
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,360
group being just some of the best players in Las Vegas.

1075
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,840
So I'm going to guess that it doesn't work out,

1076
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,840
he loses a flip and he's adding fourth place.

1077
00:52:12,679 --> 00:52:15,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I largely agree with you there. As

1078
00:52:15,159 --> 00:52:17,679
you mentioned, his stack is worth three million and thirty

1079
00:52:17,679 --> 00:52:20,559
one thousand based on ICM and I believe I said

1080
00:52:20,559 --> 00:52:23,119
it on the last episode. I kind of expect Hendrix

1081
00:52:23,199 --> 00:52:27,000
to be very ICM conscious, you know, which is a

1082
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,639
lot of times we see the same sort of thing

1083
00:52:28,679 --> 00:52:32,719
at the studio. Yeah, you know, very ICM conscious plays

1084
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,480
and strategy at the final table, and of course here

1085
00:52:36,039 --> 00:52:38,760
when there are the paye jumps are as big as

1086
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,239
they are in the industry. Nothing is like this at

1087
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,039
the WSBM an event. So I would very much expect

1088
00:52:44,079 --> 00:52:48,000
Adam Hendrix to you know, proceed with caution, not just

1089
00:52:48,079 --> 00:52:50,159
like coming and be like, you know what, I'm going

1090
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,679
to take the table over. I know I don't have

1091
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,639
that many as many chips to some of the other guys,

1092
00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:56,159
but I'm just gonna, you know, basically exert my dominance

1093
00:52:56,199 --> 00:52:58,480
and my experience over everyone. I certainly don't think he's

1094
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,800
going to do that. I think he's just gonna attack,

1095
00:53:01,159 --> 00:53:05,239
like very like cautiously and and try and basically ladder up.

1096
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,119
You know, as as you mentioned who you got next.

1097
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,639
Speaker 2: There's a very famous hand the WSP main event, Oh

1098
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:18,440
okay involves a young Joseph Chung oh and a younger

1099
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,760
Jonathan Duhamel. Oh yes, where Jonathan where Joseph Chung may

1100
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,679
have may have punted three? Oh, yes, I'm not going

1101
00:53:26,679 --> 00:53:27,800
to come in on if it was a punt, but

1102
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,079
he was it a six bet?

1103
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:30,119
Speaker 1: It was?

1104
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 2: It was many bets. I was trying to put out

1105
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,519
the hand, but I I it was a big bet.

1106
00:53:34,679 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: It was. I think it was six. Maybe it was

1107
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:38,760
a fine bet either way.

1108
00:53:39,039 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 2: Joseph Chung busted in third place in the twenty ten

1109
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,480
main event to Jonathan dou Hammel, left John Raister to

1110
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,199
advance their heads up play with he was at a

1111
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,760
massive shout out, massive chip disadvantage to Jonathan do Hamel.

1112
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,599
Jonathan o'hamma would go on to win. Now why I

1113
00:53:55,599 --> 00:53:58,159
bring that up? He is we've touched that. Yeah, he's

1114
00:53:58,199 --> 00:54:00,559
six bet, a six bet a with ace with he

1115
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,920
seven off yeap and into Queens.

1116
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: So palm ahead Queens.

1117
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,599
Speaker 2: And the reason I say this is we've talked a

1118
00:54:06,599 --> 00:54:10,679
little bit about the Misrahi you know there how he's

1119
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,880
going to be aggressive. How is John was not going

1120
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,480
to play against this? And I feel that we're going

1121
00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:18,559
to get right here three hand to play. We're gonna

1122
00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:22,480
have this mix of Kenny Hallett, Michael Musrahi, John was

1123
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,679
a three of the most the widest range of players

1124
00:54:25,679 --> 00:54:29,639
we could possibly get to the final three John versus Michael.

1125
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,239
It's going to be some kind of massive shout out,

1126
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,840
massive explosion in hands where it's like open three bet

1127
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,800
just four bet jams from John with Ace ten off

1128
00:54:40,119 --> 00:54:41,800
and Grind the calls with Kings and we hit an

1129
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,000
Ace Grind is out in third right and John goes

1130
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:47,639
to take a massive heads up lead against Kenny Hallett.

1131
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,039
So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna skip ahead Kenny Hallett's

1132
00:54:51,159 --> 00:54:54,440
runner up and then you can flip a coin because

1133
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:58,000
it's going to be some insane hand between John John

1134
00:54:58,119 --> 00:55:01,079
was Michael Musrahi to just I had the heads up match,

1135
00:55:01,159 --> 00:55:02,920
So I don't know who it is. I kind really

1136
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,519
give an answer, but I'm gonna stick with my guns

1137
00:55:05,519 --> 00:55:09,000
of really wanting to see Waznock win. So Grinder, I'm

1138
00:55:09,039 --> 00:55:12,360
sorry to do this to you. The strip clubs will

1139
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,639
be fine. You're still winning four million dollars. Third place,

1140
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,960
Michael the grind name is Rohi, all right.

1141
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: I got Kenny Hollard in this spot. I think he's

1142
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,440
going to take a very similar approach to this final

1143
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,880
table as Adam Hendricks. Yep. The benefit to Kenny Hollart

1144
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,320
is he has almost double the chips that Adam Hendricks does. So,

1145
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,559
you know, I think throughout the entire run, I've only

1146
00:55:34,599 --> 00:55:38,800
seen extremely solid play from Kenny Hollard. I haven't really

1147
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,039
seen him get too crazy with like any sort of

1148
00:55:41,079 --> 00:55:44,679
outlandish bluff or anything like that, you know, So I

1149
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,480
think he's just gonna basically try and have it in

1150
00:55:47,519 --> 00:55:49,760
a lot of spots and work his way up. So

1151
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,199
in terms of like potential to win, I got him third.

1152
00:55:53,679 --> 00:55:56,039
Who you said you said you had Kenny Hollerd.

1153
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,599
Speaker 2: Second, Kenny Hall second, because you know, the big explosion

1154
00:55:59,639 --> 00:56:02,239
between was Naka Mizrahi and then I have was not

1155
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:06,719
winning that amateur not curse, but the draft of an

1156
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:12,400
amateur winning is being broken. Middle America celebrates and we

1157
00:56:12,599 --> 00:56:17,320
see plumbers and competents and lagas all coming next to

1158
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,760
here to the WSP main event, and we have eleven

1159
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,239
thousand playfield, all right.

1160
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,280
Speaker 1: I got Braxton Dunaway second, and I got Michael Mcrocky

1161
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,280
as with the most potential. Again, I think I think

1162
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,360
these two the potential for them to play some absolutely

1163
00:56:32,599 --> 00:56:37,079
outrageously crazy hand Braxton and Rocky is like, I think

1164
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:39,920
that potential is so sky high and I absolutely cannot

1165
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,840
wait to see it. Yeah, Like, I think it's just

1166
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,920
set up for that. I don't think in any way,

1167
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,920
shape or form, Braxton dun always going to back down

1168
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,280
for Miss Rocky. Of course, I don't think Miss Rocky's

1169
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,840
gonna back down at all. So this is basically both

1170
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,559
these players are gonna put their nuts on the table,

1171
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,360
and you know, whoever can just big dick this thing

1172
00:56:56,599 --> 00:56:58,559
the best, this is gonna come out on top. So

1173
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:02,519
I'm very much looking forward to it. I think if

1174
00:57:02,519 --> 00:57:05,159
it does come down to Miss Rocky versus Doneaway heads up,

1175
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,679
and they are in any way, shape or form deep

1176
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,800
in chips let's say thirty to forty big blinds at

1177
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,639
least each, then we could see one of the most

1178
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,000
epic heads up matches we've ever seen. Because like, these guys, again,

1179
00:57:19,079 --> 00:57:21,000
I don't think they're gonna back down from one another.

1180
00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:23,639
They both like to play a bit of street poker.

1181
00:57:24,039 --> 00:57:26,960
I don't think that they're you know, theory studied type

1182
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,039
of guys. You know, I think they're just gonna get

1183
00:57:29,079 --> 00:57:32,480
in there and they're just gonna battle accordingly, and you know,

1184
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,920
try and throw a bunch of big haymakers and whatnot.

1185
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,960
So you know, I got Braxton Dunaways as you know,

1186
00:57:38,079 --> 00:57:39,920
the second most potential, and then I got Michael ms

1187
00:57:40,039 --> 00:57:42,400
Rocky as the first. And part of part of Miss

1188
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,599
Rocky is like where he is on the table, He's

1189
00:57:44,599 --> 00:57:46,519
got wa Wasnack the chip leader to his direct right

1190
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,599
next to him two to his right is done Away,

1191
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,360
So he's got he's got good position right and then

1192
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:56,000
behind him he's got Lee, he's got Djokovic, he's got Hendrix,

1193
00:57:56,039 --> 00:57:58,400
he's got ming Guinea. So like those shorter stacks are

1194
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,679
all behind him. So I think I think his seat

1195
00:58:00,719 --> 00:58:03,840
lines up very nicely too, doesn't Miss Rocky. So yeah,

1196
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,320
it's probably the best seat. Yeah. The title of course

1197
00:58:08,519 --> 00:58:10,599

and the viewers out there.

1212
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: Final little segment here on the wspe MANIV and then

1213
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,519
we'll touch on the other stuff and then we'll get

1214
00:58:55,519 --> 00:58:59,320
on out of here. But your three favorite story arcs

1215
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:04,199
for the final table? What do you got for me? Favorite? Yeah? Favorite? Like,

1216
00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:07,079
what are you most what are you most interested in?

1217
00:59:07,159 --> 00:59:10,079
Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out?

1218
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,239
Speaker 2: I guess the first one to me will be, I mean,

1219
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,840
are we doing this in order or just no? I

1220
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:23,639
think it's pretty obviously just Leo Maggett's female Chasing, you know,

1221
00:59:24,679 --> 00:59:28,320
Barbara Enwright's record fifth place. I think that's the biggest,

1222
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,440
biggest storyline. I think that's what kind of a lot

1223
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,920
of them meat you can see on media today, you know,

1224
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,760
whether it's Poker News or all the other outlets that

1225
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,599
that is the story that's kind of taking over. So

1226
00:59:39,679 --> 00:59:44,400
seeing how that concludes where Layer finishes. Can she best

1227
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,119
Barbara's finish? Can she go on a win? Can she

1228
00:59:47,239 --> 00:59:49,400
be the first woman? Can she be the first woman

1229
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,559
to be top four, top three, top two? You know,

1230
00:59:51,679 --> 00:59:54,920
just to keep pushing that boundary higher and higher.

1231
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: I also have her on my list, so I'll just

1232
00:59:58,039 --> 01:00:00,079
touch on that now. You know, first woman in thirty years.

1233
01:00:00,079 --> 01:00:02,239
We've mentioned that many times already. To make that ACM

1234
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,880
main event final table, I mean, winning has to arguably

1235
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,800
be the biggest moment for a woman, for women in poker.

1236
01:00:09,559 --> 01:00:12,559
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, it has to be, like nothing will best

1237
01:00:12,639 --> 01:00:14,159
that this.

1238
01:00:14,719 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Her winning I think has the the biggest mainstream potential,

1239
01:00:19,679 --> 01:00:23,000
Like I think there is some other mainstream potential here, yes,

1240
01:00:23,079 --> 01:00:25,599
but I don't think anything is anywhere near as close

1241
01:00:25,639 --> 01:00:28,400
to Leo Margette's winning this. You know, I think that

1242
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:32,079
this can certainly spawn some global media coverage from non

1243
01:00:32,119 --> 01:00:35,000
poker endemics and you know, really get the messaging and

1244
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:37,320
the and the the wording and all that sort of

1245
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,159
stuff out there. I also think that if that does happen,

1246
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:42,800
I think she's got a really good head on her

1247
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,239
in terms of, like, you know, wearing the Ambassador crown, like,

1248
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,480
I think she's she's certainly willing to do.

1249
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:53,079
Speaker 2: That, especially win Max too, So it's yeah, gonna exactly.

1250
01:00:53,239 --> 01:00:55,519
Speaker 1: So I think that she's she's kind of like set

1251
01:00:55,599 --> 01:00:57,719
up perfectly for that should it happen.

1252
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,039
Speaker 2: I think we should just add to Leo that, you know,

1253
01:01:01,079 --> 01:01:04,639
the World Series always want to see you know, open

1254
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,079
bracelet events being one by women. But outside of that,

1255
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,960
you know, it hasn't happened so far. But think of

1256
01:01:11,079 --> 01:01:13,159
like the success they have had. You know, we talked

1257
01:01:13,199 --> 01:01:16,039
about we're fresh af Kristen Foxon's was the twelfth place

1258
01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:20,039
finish last year, okay, thirteenth, thirteenth, twelve thirteenth, very good,

1259
01:01:20,159 --> 01:01:23,280
very deep running the main event. Then we come this year.

1260
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,719
We have Essa Taylor, you know, third place in some

1261
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,519
say the toughest event poker event in the world, the

1262
01:01:29,559 --> 01:01:32,320
fifty K Poker Players Championship. Then we have showed a

1263
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,840
oka goodo back to back in the latest champions So

1264
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:40,360
solidifying that she is legitimately a goat and that's you know,

1265
01:01:40,559 --> 01:01:43,159
Japanese poker player. We've talked about the rise of the

1266
01:01:43,239 --> 01:01:46,639
Japanese this year. We had one win embracelet last night

1267
01:01:46,639 --> 01:01:50,119
in the toss. You know, those kind of things just

1268
01:01:50,159 --> 01:01:53,840
really stamping the case for just women, kind of crushing

1269
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,360
the poker scene and not you know, being an afterthought

1270
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,280
like it was, you know, unfortunately many many years ago.

1271
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: And then one thing I do on a hit on

1272
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,360
so I found this hand when she played it on

1273
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,079
day one, Leomar gets it was up against a player

1274
01:02:07,119 --> 01:02:12,039
named DeSantis. Steve DeSantis? Was it Steve DeSantis? I can't,

1275
01:02:12,159 --> 01:02:15,679
I can't remember, but she got him to fold two pair. Okay.

1276
01:02:16,119 --> 01:02:20,199
The board was Queen ten nine nine ace, he had

1277
01:02:20,239 --> 01:02:26,159
ace ten. He bets the river for around twenty five

1278
01:02:26,199 --> 01:02:30,280
percent pot, and she goes all in with ace four.

1279
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,119
Speaker 2: Say the boat one more time.

1280
01:02:32,679 --> 01:02:38,519
Speaker 1: Queen ten nine nine ace, he's got ace ten, he

1281
01:02:38,599 --> 01:02:40,800
bet he has eighteen K left. He bets six k.

1282
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:46,360
The pot was twenty three. She covers, so he bets

1283
01:02:46,519 --> 01:02:49,199
the third of his stack on the river. She jams

1284
01:02:49,239 --> 01:02:53,039
the river with ace four. He takes forever and then

1285
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:58,519
folds and how about this she covered him. If she

1286
01:02:58,599 --> 01:03:01,000
lost this hand, she would have been like for sixteen k,

1287
01:03:01,559 --> 01:03:03,320
which you know, I mean, yes, you can come back.

1288
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:04,960
It's very early. The blinds at the time were two

1289
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,440
hundred four hundred, so you know, still very early in

1290
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,719
the med event. Yes, but I mean it changes everything. Yes,

1291
01:03:11,039 --> 01:03:13,719
it really does change everything. Or what's your next story arc?

1292
01:03:14,239 --> 01:03:17,679
Speaker 2: I guess it's the return, the resurgence, however you want

1293
01:03:17,719 --> 01:03:20,639
to phrase it. With Michael the grandam Israehi. Obviously we've

1294
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:25,159
we've touched numerous times about the fifty k PPC, and

1295
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,280
you know we're comparing this year twenty twenty five to

1296
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:33,320
say twenty twenty sorry, twenty ten when he final table

1297
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,400
did he finished in fifth. He also won the PPC

1298
01:03:35,599 --> 01:03:39,639
back then. He had three other final tables that WSP

1299
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,280
fifteen years later doing it all again. So you know,

1300
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:48,000
it's just kind of pretty amazing to see this and

1301
01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:50,239
we'll see how that kind of story, How does that

1302
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,119
story and does it It can end in so many

1303
01:03:52,159 --> 01:03:54,360
ways obviously, right, there's nine places you can finish, but

1304
01:03:54,639 --> 01:03:58,119
I think there's kind of two ways. He flames out,

1305
01:03:58,199 --> 01:04:01,679
you know, the hot run ends, you know, everything goes

1306
01:04:01,719 --> 01:04:05,519
called for him and he maybe tumbles out in seventh place.

1307
01:04:05,639 --> 01:04:10,000
You know, oh it just it doesn't end the rise

1308
01:04:10,039 --> 01:04:12,320
of is right. He continues, you know, he gets to

1309
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,519
the next day at the final table with you know,

1310
01:04:14,599 --> 01:04:17,360
two hundred million in chiefs, and then he just closes

1311
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,199
it out, wins. He's an eighth bracelet, right, that would

1312
01:04:20,199 --> 01:04:25,480
be yeah bracelet and just really stamp his name is

1313
01:04:25,519 --> 01:04:27,880
as one of the best WSP players of all time.

1314
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,519
Speaker 1: I also have ms Rocky here. I mean, the guy's

1315
01:04:31,519 --> 01:04:33,880
already a legend. You touched on a lot of it there,

1316
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,760
but this would truly complete the resume, like this would

1317
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,519
for sure, you know, put him into just I mean,

1318
01:04:42,559 --> 01:04:45,960
I don't even know Hemisphere iconic status. I mean, it's

1319
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,159
just it would be incredible. You know, he's one of

1320
01:04:48,199 --> 01:04:53,000
the few still very active players from that you know,

1321
01:04:53,639 --> 01:04:57,719
two thousand and three each of twenty ten poker boom era, right,

1322
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,840
and he has that that aura about him and he

1323
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,320
certainly if you've been watching him through this run, he's

1324
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,199
he's got the fucking mojo back, baby like he is

1325
01:05:06,599 --> 01:05:09,599
like you know, arms are in the air, like he's cheering,

1326
01:05:09,719 --> 01:05:12,000
he's high five in his rail so like he's gonna

1327
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,519
be great theater on this final table. He's wild, he's

1328
01:05:16,559 --> 01:05:19,039
aggressive at times, almost like times when you're like, what

1329
01:05:19,079 --> 01:05:23,000
the hell is he doing? He's entertaining. He is like,

1330
01:05:23,559 --> 01:05:25,960
if you're looking for somebody from this final table to

1331
01:05:26,159 --> 01:05:30,719
sell poker to the audience, miss Rocky is the guy.

1332
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,519
So I'm looking forward to that as well. And then

1333
01:05:33,519 --> 01:05:34,559
what's your last one?

1334
01:05:34,719 --> 01:05:37,159
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm going a little off script, but who knows.

1335
01:05:37,239 --> 01:05:39,360
The way we've been kind of okay, been making each other.

1336
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,559
We never know, you know, I think you if you

1337
01:05:41,559 --> 01:05:46,199
sell the bio sheets up, but if die Hung Lee,

1338
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,079
you know, can really make a run.

1339
01:05:48,159 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1340
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,599
Speaker 2: Now we've talked about the Japanese players South Korea obviously

1341
01:05:51,719 --> 01:05:54,599
location wide is very similar. But we have a saying

1342
01:05:54,639 --> 01:05:59,320
over the last few years the upward trend of South

1343
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,400
Korean's come in the World Series and having a lot

1344
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,320
of success online Live here or you know WS for

1345
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,280
Europe or Paradise. And I think he mentioned something in

1346
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,360
his bio about, you know, using the money to help

1347
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,559
grow poker in South Korea. So yes, one million dollars

1348
01:06:16,599 --> 01:06:19,960
does a lot, probably ten million dollars does a hell

1349
01:06:20,039 --> 01:06:22,440
lot of more. So you know, if that story, some

1350
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,599
would say it does ten times more than is true.

1351
01:06:24,599 --> 01:06:28,239
That is that math does math? What does that mean

1352
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:32,320
for poker in Asia, poker in South Korea? And you know,

1353
01:06:33,679 --> 01:06:35,280
is he if this is true, if he's going to

1354
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,679
follow through with this, you know, there's not much more

1355
01:06:37,719 --> 01:06:40,159
you can be, like you can ask from an ambassador,

1356
01:06:40,199 --> 01:06:44,280
a world champ to give back to your country, to

1357
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,920
try and grow the sport that made you, you know,

1358
01:06:48,159 --> 01:06:52,039
famous poker. So you know it's a little it's you look,

1359
01:06:52,079 --> 01:06:53,679
the chance of it happening. You know, the fact that

1360
01:06:53,679 --> 01:06:55,719
he's one of the shorter secks may not happen, but

1361
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,320
we've seen, we've seen funny things happen. I think that

1362
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,880
would be an incredible storyline if that can be manifested

1363
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,679
by if the cause can fall right for Dahung, he

1364
01:07:04,679 --> 01:07:06,639
can manifest that and then he can follow through with

1365
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,519
his you know what he stated and really make a

1366
01:07:09,559 --> 01:07:11,119
difference back home in his Outh Korea.

1367
01:07:12,039 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: I got a different one, so we're not gonna have

1368
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:15,840
all the same ones, which is good. I'm going with

1369
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,840
John Wasnock. I don't know, the more I've like been

1370
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,920
talking about this guy, the more I've been writing about

1371
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,000
him all that sort of stuff, you know, the amateur,

1372
01:07:25,039 --> 01:07:27,639
the recreational. Yeah, I know, I keep saying the token

1373
01:07:27,639 --> 01:07:29,639
old guy. You know, I say that with all the

1374
01:07:29,679 --> 01:07:31,800
love and respect in my heart. A bit of a

1375
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,159
Cinderella story in the whole thing. You know, it can

1376
01:07:35,159 --> 01:07:38,840
certainly inspire the more casual players, you know, keep that

1377
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,440
poker dream alive. You know, so many of us talk

1378
01:07:41,519 --> 01:07:43,599
all the time that, like you get down to it

1379
01:07:43,639 --> 01:07:46,239
in the wspa med event, it's all just killers left,

1380
01:07:46,599 --> 01:07:48,800
Like it's just that's just how the structure is. Everyone's

1381
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,239
so good these days. But you got a guy like

1382
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,639
John Wasnock. You know, he is an investment consultant by day.

1383
01:07:54,679 --> 01:07:56,519
He's fifty years old, he's a father of four.

1384
01:07:57,079 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 2: I love this story, right, I love this story like

1385
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,280
like the the non professional poker player in me because

1386
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,239
I don't play professionally, loves this. And I almost like

1387
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,079
I want this guy to kind of win, you know,

1388
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,920
I mean I think there's obviously like Lao Margrets would

1389
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:12,239
be great.

1390
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,519
Speaker 1: I want her to win. You know, Michael was Rocky

1391
01:08:14,519 --> 01:08:16,720
would be great. Want him to win. You know, John Wazneck,

1392
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,720
Like I'm sucked in, you know, I think it's easy

1393
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:23,199
to sell him as the everyman. So that's that's the storyline.

1394
01:08:23,239 --> 01:08:26,000
That's the arc that I'm gonna be attached to. And

1395
01:08:26,039 --> 01:08:28,760
I know that we didn't have it on here, but

1396
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,960
I'm gonna throw it your way anyway because I heard

1397
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,600
I can't remember who i'd heard talk about the other day.

1398
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,359
But is there even like a villain? Is there somebody

1399
01:08:37,359 --> 01:08:40,399
that people are gonna be anti sweating out there? Yeah?

1400
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,439
Who die hung Ley?

1401
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,359
Speaker 2: Okay, I agree, there's any one reason, And it's kind

1402
01:08:46,359 --> 01:08:49,279
of a sad reason that way, he's the villain. You

1403
01:08:49,279 --> 01:08:50,520
know he's been wearing a mosk.

1404
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, that's the reason. Like people only I

1405
01:08:53,039 --> 01:08:55,159
think the same thing because we see it when like

1406
01:08:55,279 --> 01:08:58,000
Ackston is on the table. Yep, it's just non stop. Yeah,

1407
01:08:58,039 --> 01:09:00,359
it doesn't end. And like so I think people are

1408
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:02,640
gonna tune in and like if they haven't been following along,

1409
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,159
you know those people that we say always just tune

1410
01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:06,079
in for the final table, They're gonna be like, who

1411
01:09:06,119 --> 01:09:07,840
is this guy in the mask? How come he can

1412
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,920
wear a mask? Take the mask off? Like, well, that's

1413
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,000
that's also like we're we're assuming he's gonna wear the mask. Yeah,

1414
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
of course, assuming when you showed up for pictures today,

1415
01:09:16,119 --> 01:09:18,119
So I'm assuming he's gonna wear it the whole way through.

1416
01:09:18,239 --> 01:09:20,920
I do get some like sub zero Mortal Kombat vibes.

1417
01:09:21,039 --> 01:09:25,199
Oh yeah, you know, because it's like that type of mask. No,

1418
01:09:25,239 --> 01:09:27,319
but it's that type of mask, you know. But I'm

1419
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:29,760
just saying, like it's it's it's not like a It

1420
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:31,560
doesn't look like a medical mask. And it looks like

1421
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:34,600
almost like one of those like those ski neck things

1422
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,159
that you pull up to keep waring. You know, It's

1423
01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:39,239
not it's not like a I know, I like Hackston

1424
01:09:39,279 --> 01:09:41,800
wears like the N ninety five mask or whatever, like

1425
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,439
this is more of like just a whole neck covering.

1426
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,840
I'm also curious if, like I mean, I don't even

1427
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,520
know if this is possible, Like, is there even a

1428
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,000
chance that basically like says anything about it.

1429
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 2: It's no, it's fine, you can't you can't cover the

1430
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:57,880
rule things. You can't cover three things. You can't cover

1431
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,439
your face, sunglasses and a hood So you can have

1432
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,239
two of those three. So your glasses and the mask

1433
01:10:05,359 --> 01:10:07,439
is fine. The mask and the hoodie is fine, or

1434
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,720
glass and hoodie fine. But once you add all three.

1435
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:12,279
That's a no no now. I also with a hood

1436
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,479
is it much difference with a hood in the hat?

1437
01:10:15,159 --> 01:10:17,079
Speaker 1: See, I don't don't know, Benie like that, like the

1438
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,640
like the Safari hat that you have, Like, what's.

1439
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:21,560
Speaker 2: The way the way the rule is written the hat

1440
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:25,199
is doesn't counter as this. It's just hoodie glasses masks.

1441
01:10:25,239 --> 01:10:28,880
So you know, I've seen multiple times players get you know,

1442
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:30,479
told by the floor you need to remove one or

1443
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,560
the other. I've seen players complain about other players, so

1444
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:34,520
it is being in forced.

1445
01:10:35,239 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: You know.

1446
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 2: His mask is obviously substantially bigger than the kind of

1447
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,479
N ninety five's that like Isaac Hackson wears. But yeah,

1448
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,840
we'll see you who knows, maybe he you know what,

1449
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,640
maybe he has a big cold sore on his cheek

1450
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,680
and you don't want that in photos, Like we don't

1451
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,159
you know, we don't know the reasoning behind it, and

1452
01:10:50,199 --> 01:10:52,560
we're not here to judge, but we know that people

1453
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:53,279
will judge.

1454
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, yeah, I don't. I don't care if he

1455
01:10:55,319 --> 01:10:56,840
wears a mask or not. I don't. I know you

1456
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:00,000
don't care either, But we're just saying that, like if if,

1457
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,359
because there was ever a reason to hate on anyone.

1458
01:11:03,399 --> 01:11:05,640
I think that's the reason that people will pull out yep,

1459
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:10,399
Like I don't think any of these guys have done

1460
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,640
anything or said anything that would be like, you know,

1461
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,640
and I'm gonna I don't like that guy because he

1462
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,479
said something to a different player that I like, or

1463
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,399
he did something to a different player. No one's done

1464
01:11:18,399 --> 01:11:21,239
any of that. So everyone is pretty much just has

1465
01:11:21,279 --> 01:11:23,159
their own version of a feel good story here that

1466
01:11:23,199 --> 01:11:25,680
I think people are going to latch onto. But if

1467
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,680
anyone were to latch onto the other side of it,

1468
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:29,680
I think they're going to latch onto the mask thing

1469
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,920
with Lee, Yes, and you know, I mean obviously we'll

1470
01:11:33,039 --> 01:11:35,479
see it in the chat and in the comments, you know,

1471
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,479
or possibly on social media. Hopefully that's not the case,

1472
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,199
but you know, I just know that when whenever I

1473
01:11:41,319 --> 01:11:44,119
Caxon is on something, whenever you know, anyone is on

1474
01:11:44,199 --> 01:11:45,960
there with the mask, like, it's just the chat is

1475
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,800
just on fire. For whatever reason, people just they can't handle.

1476
01:11:55,359 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 2: Who's going to be the best stressed and you getting

1477
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,399
trap the best as anyway doesn't need to be a.

1478
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Not going to be Michaels Rocky because he sure you're

1479
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,640
not sure he's going to come out with some gold

1480
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,479
jacket or something. First of all, he's gonna have okay.

1481
01:12:07,359 --> 01:12:11,159
Speaker 2: Tequila comes, come on whatever, and he's hat how many patches,

1482
01:12:11,239 --> 01:12:14,199
how many brands will be represented on Miss Rocky tomorrow.

1483
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,720
It's okay, We're going to include the oil in Brownie

1484
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:17,680
because you won't way ask something.

1485
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,159
Speaker 1: But it might be on the table, so nobody's had

1486
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,840
I was gonna say six, yes, for sure.

1487
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,560
Speaker 2: Funny has actually got a message from one of the

1488
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,920
final type of players, Adam Hendricks, you know, shout out

1489
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,279
Adam Hendricks. He asked me, Hey, if I get patched up,

1490
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,000
does the company need approval from someone?

1491
01:12:36,079 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: I believe the answer is yes.

1492
01:12:38,119 --> 01:12:40,560
Speaker 2: I think the technical orders you can't add patches once

1493
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,720
players out of the day, but you need don't. I'm

1494
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,399
not the person to ask, so you.

1495
01:12:45,319 --> 01:12:50,039
Speaker 1: Know that's a that's a that's a rule. Yeah, that's problem. Well,

1496
01:12:50,239 --> 01:12:53,119
it might it might be. It might be w a

1497
01:12:53,159 --> 01:12:55,119
p slash poker girl, but I don't think really you

1498
01:12:55,159 --> 01:12:57,880
and I could answer that question. It's probably above us.

1499
01:12:58,039 --> 01:13:01,079
Speaker 2: I think the only thing way police is is like

1500
01:13:01,319 --> 01:13:04,479
illegal obscene things like I.

1501
01:13:04,399 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Think there might be a size requirement. It can't be

1502
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,560
too big. You can't just show up with a patch. Yeah,

1503
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,319
that big or whatever that's a grinder will probably show

1504
01:13:12,399 --> 01:13:13,319
up with the patch that's that big.

1505
01:13:13,359 --> 01:13:16,079
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with, you know, Adam Hendricks being

1506
01:13:16,079 --> 01:13:19,199
the best dress because yesterday, sorry, on day eight, he

1507
01:13:19,239 --> 01:13:21,960
was wearing a nice little two pieces you know, Safari

1508
01:13:22,079 --> 01:13:24,680
kind of set the light green with the matching shorts.

1509
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,239
You know, he likes to wear brad things. You know,

1510
01:13:27,279 --> 01:13:29,399
he drives the Tesla, but he drives the it's like

1511
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,319
painted like pink and blue, like it's got that.

1512
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:36,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, So I think he'll come very like

1513
01:13:36,279 --> 01:13:37,439
street wearish. Yeah.

1514
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like he he knows how to dress and

1515
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:42,560
he likes the wey like kind of bright things. So

1516
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,199
I think he'll come. I think he'll come with something

1517
01:13:45,279 --> 01:13:46,079
dazzling tomorrow.

1518
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,079
Speaker 1: I like it. As long as he doesn't wear that

1519
01:13:48,119 --> 01:13:50,840
stupid Elvis wig. We're good. No, bring that back, that

1520
01:13:51,039 --> 01:13:53,720
is good, I'll wear it. I'm gonna say the best

1521
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,039
dress is going to be Kenny Holler. Oh yes, I

1522
01:13:57,079 --> 01:13:59,720
think he's going to have like a very nice button. Sure,

1523
01:14:00,079 --> 01:14:02,159
it's probably going to be an expensive one. You know,

1524
01:14:02,239 --> 01:14:05,720
he might show up with the blazer. Yes, nice glasses. Yep,

1525
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,239
nice classes. So I think Kenny Hollart will will show

1526
01:14:09,319 --> 01:14:11,880
up nicely, Layo Marguets. I could see her getting totally

1527
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,079
done up for this whole thing. She's also been She's

1528
01:14:15,079 --> 01:14:19,279
been generally pretty casual and comfortable coffee. It's the final table,

1529
01:14:19,319 --> 01:14:21,800
so who knows, right, You never really know, miss Rockey.

1530
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,800
I'm pretty sure it's going to be black, black shirt

1531
01:14:24,159 --> 01:14:26,880
with nineteen patches on it. Probably his hat that will

1532
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,600
probably be backwards or sideways at some point in the

1533
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,920
middle of some hand he'll be ordering many drinks. And yeah,

1534
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:34,920
that's kind of okay.

1535
01:14:35,239 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Next follow up question, we let's let's insert us at

1536
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,399
this final table. Okay, we're in there. They called it

1537
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,520
when they need an alternate. We're first up.

1538
01:14:44,159 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: What are you wearing? Probably, I mean, whatever it is,

1539
01:14:47,039 --> 01:14:49,680
it's going to be black, okay, And I don't know,

1540
01:14:50,239 --> 01:14:52,079
it's going to be some sort of jacket or something,

1541
01:14:52,119 --> 01:14:54,600
because I personally like to be like covered up, Like

1542
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,560
this is the jacket I wore pretty much the whole run,

1543
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,279
other than the first day when I started on toil

1544
01:14:58,399 --> 01:15:01,079
for the US, but I like to just have my

1545
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,319
arms and stuff covered up. I don't know, I just

1546
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,600
maybe there's like tell things that that can happen with that,

1547
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,359
but also it just makes me feel comfortable, right, So

1548
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,520
I don't know. I'd probably go get like a nice

1549
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,439
jacket or whatever on my day off from somewhere that's

1550
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,279
way too expensive, but if I'm making a million dollars,

1551
01:15:19,319 --> 01:15:20,039
I would be willing to.

1552
01:15:20,039 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 2: Spend a couple hundred bucks on the jackets. Fine, So yeah,

1553
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,359
I think I would go a cowboy hat. I would

1554
01:15:25,359 --> 01:15:27,239
probably do like a nice shirt, like a button down.

1555
01:15:27,359 --> 01:15:29,239
I would pay a comfortable button down, not like where

1556
01:15:29,239 --> 01:15:31,399
I feel like I'm like too stiff, but like it's

1557
01:15:31,399 --> 01:15:33,920
just something maybe a little bit loose, but just nice

1558
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,640
and comfy, and you know the cop You know, people

1559
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:37,760
don't know, this cowboy.

1560
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,039
Speaker 1: Hat looks really cool, right, Yeah.

1561
01:15:39,079 --> 01:15:42,119
Speaker 2: But what I do like is that depending on the hat,

1562
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,680
it kind of if it drops down a little bit, players,

1563
01:15:46,239 --> 01:15:49,279
players can't really see your eyes. Yeah, you know, I

1564
01:15:49,359 --> 01:15:50,760
kind of like to hide under there. May put some

1565
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,680
nice glasses on it and try and look stylish, but

1566
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:54,840
the cowboy hat does have.

1567
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: Some you know, practical reasons. Yeah, No, definitely, all right,

1568
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,560
Well that's going to do it for the WSP Main

1569
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,960
Event Final table preview. We went pretty long there, but

1570
01:16:06,239 --> 01:16:08,319

01:16:08,399 --> 01:16:13,640

We got Brent Hanks and Jeff Platt who are going

1594
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:25,640
to be joined by sportscaster Nick Wright, which I want

1595
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:27,359
to try and get him on the podcast at some point,

1596
01:17:27,399 --> 01:17:30,399
maybe tomorrow. I'll talk about this experience, so we'll hit

1597
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:34,039
on my right. I talked with him in the middle

1598
01:17:34,159 --> 01:17:37,159
of I think it was the three K So he's

1599
01:17:37,199 --> 01:17:39,800
going to be on Natalie Body's going to be on sidelines,

1600
01:17:40,279 --> 01:17:42,920
and then you're also going to have Ali Najade and

1601
01:17:43,159 --> 01:17:47,439
Nick Shulman who are going to be doing both their

1602
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:51,920
night shift and the breakdown. Yeah, so I'm looking forward.

1603
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,159
Speaker 2: To that's gonna be an interesting say how they do

1604
01:17:54,239 --> 01:17:55,079
that now.

1605
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,319
Speaker 1: Two days ago Nick Wright, who's been watching the main

1606
01:17:59,319 --> 01:18:01,560
event the whole way. He loves poker. He's always watching.

1607
01:18:02,279 --> 01:18:05,840
He said, he put on an X at get Nick right.

1608
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,199
As far as storylines go, there's a very very clear

1609
01:18:09,279 --> 01:18:11,920
top three potential winners. This was with seventeen left in

1610
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,680
the main Number one Layo maur guest this isn't He says,

1611
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,720
this isn't debatable, would be the first female champion, will

1612
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:21,159
be the biggest poker story in decades. Number two Miss

1613
01:18:21,239 --> 01:18:25,000
Rocky eighth bracelet PPC slash main double and acclaim the

1614
01:18:25,039 --> 01:18:28,520
great greatest single dubisip ever. And then he also listened

1615
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,239
to number three, which is now gone up in flames.

1616
01:18:31,239 --> 01:18:33,880
But that was Tony Greg he wrote, he wrote a

1617
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,960
poker fenom who walked away at the top and came

1618
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,840
back and shipped the main That would be unreal, he says. Obviously,

1619
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,760
any winner will have a cool story of their own,

1620
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,760
but those top three, particularly Margetts, obviously would be a

1621
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:53,760
different animal. So Nick Wright, massive poker fan, shout out massive,

1622
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,119
absolutely loves it. He's going to be getting in the

1623
01:18:56,159 --> 01:18:59,520
booth alongside Jeff and Brent for these two final table

1624
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,079

Speaker 1: Bagged up They were supposed to finish today I'm pretty

1631
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,039
sure they were supposed to finish today. I'm gonna pull

1632
01:19:25,079 --> 01:19:26,800
that up right now. I remember it said play to

1633
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,880
a winner on the the clock today. When I was

1634
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:34,039
looking at it, you are correct. Okay, that was interesting.

1635
01:19:34,239 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 2: So that bagged up Sam Sarvo massive shout out, massive

1636
01:19:39,119 --> 01:19:43,359

he has twenty nine big lines as he kept to

1638
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:49,880

01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:54,039
Sarva looking to pick up another bracelet. We had the

01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:59,600

Stack was won by Mariano Barfagon. He won two hundred

1646
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,119
and fifty two K. That was a little kind of

1647
01:20:20,119 --> 01:20:23,319
a deep stack turbo. And then we have the three

1648
01:20:23,359 --> 01:20:27,560
thousand plo playing out over here. They just bagged up

1649

1653
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,119
total entrance, four hundred and seventy one k for first

1654
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:51,600

kicked off today. We had the fifteen hundred dollars buy

1656
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,800

01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:12,920
little faster, that wraps up to at the end of

1662
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,000
the series. And then the other event to kick off

1663
01:21:15,079 --> 01:21:17,600
was the twenty five k hi roll the Horse all

01:21:18,199 --> 01:21:20,520
the Way in Paris, all the way in the Corner

1665
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,880
by themselves, which is a little weird as we thought,

1666
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,920
but seventy seven players bagged in that one hundred and

1667
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:30,560
twenty one starters KINE class Chip leader Paul Volpi second

1669
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:36,800
heroes left in this. This has got obviously two more

1670
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:42,479
days to go, but that's kind of what's been happening today. Tomorrow, Tuesday,

1671
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,760
July fifteenth, Day fifty of the World Series of Poker.

World Series of Poker, Day one B of the closer,

1674
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:54,439
Day two of the twenty five K horse high Roller

1675
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:58,119

world champion and we'll also run a one K tobo.

1680
01:22:09,079 --> 01:22:13,560
Speaker 1: So it ain't done yet. It ain't done done yet.

1681
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,800
Two more days of the w Spmian Event, all that

1682
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:18,960
sort of stuff that Tim just wrapped out. We are

1683
01:22:19,039 --> 01:22:21,680
getting to the very very very end of the twenty

1684
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:25,760
twenty five WSOP. But we still got a close with

1685
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,560
a bang baby, Yeah is that all you got? And

1686
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:29,319
he can you know what?

1687
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 2: I got a quick shout out from someone on Twitter

1688
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,600
already let's go, okay, let me pull it up real quick.

1689
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:36,960
He tweeted us a couple of days ago, no one

1690
01:22:37,039 --> 01:22:38,800
responded to him. That was very ride of all of us.

1691
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:44,239
Then he just tweeted again. He goes by his Twitter

1692
01:22:44,359 --> 01:22:46,680
name is Doug in Tucson, but he's like, you know

1693
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,800
the name. He puts his Doug in two Son aka

1694
01:22:49,159 --> 01:22:51,119
the Red and Blue Guy, and he's got a bear,

1695
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:53,600
an an hour, and a cactus in his thing, so

1696
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,600
he's got all of it going. He talked about the

1697
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,840
stream and the guy's talking about how the Horseshoe event

1698
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,439
Center needs a new name. He said, I agree, I

1699
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,880
got it for you. He should be called the call

1700
01:23:04,039 --> 01:23:07,319
a Sum. The call is a call a Sum.

1701
01:23:07,359 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1702
01:23:08,119 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure about it. Hit with me, doesn't

1703
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:13,720
He tagged all of us, and then today did it again.

1704
01:23:14,159 --> 01:23:17,119
He tagged us directly. You know, there might be more

1705
01:23:17,159 --> 01:23:19,920
important poke topics going on this week, but let's keep

1706
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,880
some momentum on this nickname. If you aren't down with

1707
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,079
the call oseum, I'll effort some more options for you

1708
01:23:26,159 --> 01:23:28,720
to spitball on the pod. Dug in twos On aka

1709
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:30,560
the Red and Blue Guy with a bear, an arrow,

1710
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,399
and a cactus. You need to come up with something

1711
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,720
else because the call Oseum, although I love it, would

1712
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,439
be perfect if we were, say at Caesar's Palace, you know,

1713
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,199
somewhere different. This is, this is the Horseshoe, and this

1714
01:23:43,359 --> 01:23:47,239
is Paris. We're not in Italy, We're in France over

1715
01:23:47,319 --> 01:23:50,399
there and here over there, here were the horseshoes, so

1716
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:54,159
we're kind of I guess Texasy, right, So you need

1717
01:23:54,199 --> 01:23:55,800
to come up with a Texasy name. I think a

1718
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,680
Western name, someone with cowboys, something with boots and spurs.

1719
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,720
And then we can name the Paris ballroom something very frenchy.

1720
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:08,359
So that's Coliseum. Although I love it, it's out Doug

1721
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,840
in Tucson, AK the Red and Blue guy, Bear Arrow Cactus.

1722
01:24:12,159 --> 01:24:15,079
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for us. He's him Duckworth.

1723
01:24:15,239 --> 01:24:17,720
I'm Donnie Peters. We'll talk to you guys next time.

1724
01:24:24,239 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 2: Express
