He won the one hundred k Plow 55 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:21,520 high roller for well over two million dollars. Afterwards, you know, 56 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:23,680 I was able to grab him. I walked him through. 57 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:25,719 It was funny. Actually, just quickly before we get to 58 00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:28,080 this interview, so he does the interviews, I grab him. 59 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,199 I walk him through the area, and it was kind 60 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,319 of like I was a bodyguard and he was a 61 00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,000 celebrity because all these people, all those two to three 62 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:38,639 hundred people that I was talking about around the rail 63 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,759 were like trying to grab selfies with him. They all 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,919 had their phones. I it was a mob scene. I 65 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120 didn't know which way to go. Either way we went, 66 00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,599 this would have happened just with how many people were 67 00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:51,159 around that area. But after like the fourth or fifth 68 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,479 person stopped to take the selfie, I just put my 69 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:57,599 arm around Daniel. I kind of stiff armed people with 70 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,360 the other arm. I said, guys, we gotta go, we 71 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,840 gotta go, We got to go. We don't have that 72 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:03,680 much time. We ended up just kind of bull rushing 73 00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:06,000 through the whole thing. I got him into our back area, 74 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,120 and Daniel was kind enough to sit down with us, 75 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,400 but not so kind because he did throw a little 76 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:13,719 bit of shade to me in the interview. I mean, well, 77 00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:15,560 how am I supposed to react. I'm conducting an interview 78 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,959 and you guys are gonna hear it here. But I mean, 79 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,079 holy crap, Dane, come on, man, I mean, why I 80 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:22,720 gotta be catching these strays out there. I'm right in 81 00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:24,959 front of you, like, let's just let's chill, all right. 82 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,920 I know you're feeling high from winning the bracelet and 83 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,519 all the my gosh, man, all right, here's Daniel Legrandu 84 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,639 after he won his eighth Wsop gold bracelet. All right, Daniel, 85 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,759 there was an eleven year drought for you. Then you 86 00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,399 got number seven in the fifty KPPC. Now two years 87 00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:46,319 later you get the Hunter kpl O. Pretty quick succession 88 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,800 to go seven to eight. Just talk to me about 89 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,480 finally being able to be back in the WSP Winter 90 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,639 Circle after all that time. 91 00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie like really painful. I don't know, 92 00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:57,839 I don't I stopped counting how many times I lost 93 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,720 heads up, like ten in a row, and he started 94 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,160 to feel feel like, this is ever gonna am I 95 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,199 ever gonna break through? Because I knew I was playing well. 96 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:06,079 You know, to get there, you gotta play well. You 97 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,959 need a few breaks. So to get to fifty k PPC. 98 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,439 That sort of took a monkey off my. 99 00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 3: Back, a little bit less stressed out. 100 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,759 Speaker 2: So when this head's up, I felt really good until 101 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,800 I had him and he doubled, and then I started 102 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,240 to freak out again because all those traumatic memories of 103 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,240 the past. You're like, nah, not like this, Please don't 104 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:23,959 do it to me again. 105 00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: You had several close calls this year as well. You know, 106 00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,920 this is your twelfth cash bunch of other final tables. 107 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,879 At what point did this run start to feel like okay, 108 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,439 like I got a shot at this thing. 109 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: I mean really early on in this PLO, Like it 110 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:39,720 took me about an hour to jump in to level 111 00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:41,720 seven and grab the chip lead, and then I was 112 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:43,199 able to maintain. And one of the things I do 113 00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:46,480 really well in PLO is maintained. You know you're gonna 114 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:48,800 go through ebbs and flows. I got cooled a few times, 115 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,600 but I minimized the damage to keep myself in the game. 116 00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:53,120 And you know, you don't want to let your head 117 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,879 get like, oh no, I'm not the chip leader anymore. 118 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,560 So what just as long as you're doing good, just 119 00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:00,360 get to the end, give yourself a chance, and then 120 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,639 you know, hopefully finish the job. 121 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,519 Speaker 1: It's no secret that you've always loved PLO. You always 122 00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:07,480 said it really suits you very well. Why is that so? 123 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 3: Listen? 124 00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: PLO is literally designed, like the Lord said, what's a 125 00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:12,680 game that Daniel could be really good at? 126 00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: Oh? 127 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: I got one? How about this? He can limp before 128 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,319 the flop and call a raise. Cool? He gets four cards? 129 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: Awesome, it's pot limit even better and it's all about 130 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,040 post flops, right. And I've always been sort of like 131 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:28,079 a good reader post flop of situations and PLO afford 132 00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:29,839 g date ability to see a lot of flops if 133 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,839 you choose to. And again, I just think it was 134 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240 the game was like perfectly built for my skill set. 135 00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: Pretty big summer for you overall, not just the poker stuff, 136 00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:43,240 but you know your life.

You still think about the Player of the Year. 185 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:25,399 Speaker 2: So the way that I look at Player of the 186 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,480 Year now right are so many really good contenders in 187 00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:29,680 the running for it is uh, you know, I just 188 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,600 try to put my work together, you know, and then 189 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,679 like the results will come. Then once you start to 190 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,200 get up there now, I'm gonna start thinking about a 191 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,279 little bit more of course. And of course you know 192 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,440 it all ends in Bahamas this year, and I'll be, 193 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,120 you know, ready to go there with a two week 194 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:44,799 old baby. I don't know that like he's coming, but 195 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,759 you know we're going to work in this in the winter. 196 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: At the tail end of that long drought that you had. 197 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,000 If somebody were to tell you, listen, just stay the 198 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,799 course because you're gonna win the fifty k PPC, You're 199 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:57,120 gonna win the hundred KPO up. What would you thought. 200 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,519 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if somebody were to tell me 201 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:02,159 that I was gonna, you know, make it work, it 202 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,720 would have been me because I always believed, you know, 203 00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,440 like I can. I'm pretty good at like blocking out 204 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,240 the outside noise. 205 00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:08,879 Speaker 3: And I know the. 206 00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: Difference between whether it's like, yes, I'm getting out played. 207 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:13,440 I felt that before, and I went in the lab 208 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,679 and worked hard. But I also know and it's like no, no, no, 209 00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:18,679 You're doing good. Everything you're doing is right. You just 210 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,919 got to get lucky in these spots and you'll be 211 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,879 in in the winter circle sooner or later. 212 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:28,399 Speaker 1: Both Cashes got the eighth bracelet back in the running 213 00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:30,600 for POY twenty five. Kay fantasy, all that sort of stuff. 214 00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:32,559 But there's still a good chunk of the summer still 215 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,840 left to go. We have the main event, we have 216 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,720 a lot of other big stuff. How do you keep 217 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,000 that momentum going forward. 218 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: I'm looking for. 219 00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, when you win a tournament, you're rare 220 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,879 to go like I. As soon as it was over, 221 00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:43,960 I looked at the was wsp app and goalways what's 222 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,600 the eight hundred? 223 00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:47,159 Speaker 3: What is that? Can I jump in that? Because now 224 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,600 there's a momentum. 225 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: Right, And I've sort of, like I said, heated up, 226 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,840 I cash six in a row, had won no cash 227 00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:53,279 than this one, so seven out of the last of 228 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:53,879 eight events. 229 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,759 Speaker 3: And I've kind of always been a little bit streaky. 230 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,159 Speaker 2: So when you're in that zone of like winning, you 231 00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:00,120 just want to keep piling up the victory. 232 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: This stage of your career, what's it all mean to you? 233 00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: Listen, at this stage of my career, I don't have 234 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,879 anything I have to prove to other people, but I 235 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,480 enjoy doing it. I love the game of poker, always have. 236 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,480 I love the feeling of agony and defeat, you know, 237 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,360 because without those painful moments, you don't feel the sweetness 238 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,600 of the reward when you get it, you know, quite 239 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:24,000 as impactfully. And so you know I've been through it, 240 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,679 like I mean, I don't everyone thinks they're the most 241 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:29,360 unlucky player in the world. Like heads up, I mean, 242 00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:32,000 you know, Donnie Peters could have won heads up one 243 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,200 of those ten times I lost, you know, I lost. 244 00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:34,639 Speaker 3: That all ten. 245 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:43,639 Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, if you guys can't tell. 246 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,000 It always means a lot to get bracelets, to get w's, 247 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,039 to compete at the highest level, for Daniel, So you know, 248 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,120 thank you to him for taking that time to sit 249 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,639 down with us and chat with us at length. Really 250 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,000 cool to do those interviews. It's one of my favorite 251 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,840 things of the summer. The number one favorite thing is 252 00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:04,919 the podcast. Of course, I've said that before, I will 253 00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:06,960 say it again. The number two thing is being able 254 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,519 to sit down get some time with these players, you know, 255 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,320 win or lose, you know, because we have done some 256 00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:15,720 interviews this year that haven't always been after wins, but 257 00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:19,519 just being able to tap in to these characters, these personalities, 258 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,120 you know, that's just it's awesome. So we don't need 259 00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:25,159 to get too much into it to Daniel's win, of course, 260 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,279 but I did want to play that interview for all 261 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,320 you guys out there, and if you missed the last episode, 262 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,120 go back and listen to it. We talked at length 263 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,159 about Daniel's win, what it means to him, and all 264 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,840 of that sort of stuff. Day one B of the 265 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,360 World Series of Poker Main Event is in the books. 266 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,519 It continued the story of the greatest poker tournament in 267 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,799 the world. The numbers last year for one A had 268 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:55,320 nine to twenty three and then it was down sixteen 269 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,080 and a half percent to seven seventy one. We hit 270 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,759 on that when I last talked to you guys. This 271 00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:06,240 year down, yes, but trending in the right direction. A 272 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,440 little bit of positivity here. Last year had one thousand 273 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,000 and ninety six entries on Day one B. This year 274 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,799 had one thousand and thirty eight, so not far off, 275 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,080 only down five point three percent compared a year over year, 276 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,200 So you know that's I think, you know, obviously one 277 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,799 A being down sixteen point five percent, we talked about 278 00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:29,679 how that was kind of probably expected given what we 279 00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:32,080 have been seeing all summer. You know some of the 280 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,080 you know, just talking to people around the world Series 281 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,679 of Poker, talking to people in the know, they all 282 00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:39,039 kind of felt decline. But you know, now there's some 283 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,279 positivity here because you know that decline certainly isn't near 284 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,360 what it was for the one A field, and then 285 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,679 obviously we still have two more flights to go. I 286 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,320 also think this year I'll have to dig through some 287 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,639 of the numbers to see what we got for the 288 00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:57,399 Day two late registration. I think that'll probably be more 289 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,720 than it's ever been, or at least on par with 290 00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,919 what it was last year. I just think the late 291 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,120 registration thing. You know, players are are becoming a little 292 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,039 bit more open to it. They're realizing how valuable it 293 00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:13,399 can be. Specifically in the WSP main event, when you 294 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,879 come in if you max late reds, registration is open 295 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,120 through seven levels, so all five levels on day one 296 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,000 and then two levels on day two. There's a break 297 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,360 after every level. Every level is two hours long, so 298 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,000 you'll come in on day two going into the six 299 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,600 hundred twelve hundred level to come with a freshtack of 300 00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:36,120 sixty k that's fifty big wines. That's a crap ton 301 00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:38,759 of tips to work with, especially when a structure like 302 00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:42,519 this that's so good, long drawn out two hour levels, 303 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,480 you know, like that's a ton to work with. We say, 304 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,799 it's a lot to work with for some of the 305 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:48,960 other tournaments when you're coming in with you know, twenty 306 00:13:49,159 --> 00:13:51,360 twenty two and a half, twenty five big wines, whatever 307 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:53,320 it may be. But to come in with fifty, I mean, 308 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,519 holy crap, man, that's a lot of tips. And you know, 309 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,480 you skip all the early play, you don't got to 310 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,480 deal with all that sort of stuff. So maybe it'll 311 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,519 be a little bit fresher than everyone else. So I 312 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,240 expect you know, the day two reach to be you know, 313 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,399 quite plentiful out there. I was there today. I did 314 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,000 have to dip out for a dinner at some point. 315 00:14:12,039 --> 00:14:14,159 It was gone for about two hours, but you know, 316 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,919 came back to the end of the night, hung around, 317 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,600 and unlike the opening flight on Thursday one A, there 318 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:27,879 wasn't really one defining storyline that I could really like pinpoint, 319 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,639 you know, I think obviously the biggest storyline from Day 320 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:34,320 one A, of course, is that the WQ main event 321 00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:37,120 is here, It's back, it's kicking off. Let's freaking go right. 322 00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:41,080 Today it's just more kind of like you're just kind 323 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,519 of going through the motions. Not in a bad way, 324 00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:46,679 but you know, you lose the buzz from a kicking off. 325 00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:50,840 Of course. You know, the buzz on Thursday was only 326 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,240 heightened and boosted because you had, in conjunction with the 327 00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:57,759 main event kicking off, you have Danielgrodney winning his eighth bracelet. 328 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,600 Right then they also did play the hell Youth entrance 329 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:05,879 on that day, and I'm actually curious.

Can we you know, rebook the models 364 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,399 who are walking in you know all that, all that 365 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:55,039 sort of sort of stuff. I mean, I know Helmuth 366 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,200 also likes his rest when it comes to playing poker, 367 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,480 his rest when it comes to playing that an event 368 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:02,120 which you know, if he were to do it on 369 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,759 one B, it still does allow him to have a 370 00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:05,519 couple of days off. Should he make day two and 371 00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:07,079 then you know he would have another day off and 372 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,160 then can come back for day three, so that that 373 00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:13,119 rest aspect can still certainly be at play. You know, 374 00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,680 I would say at least this year day one seed 375 00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:19,480 July fourth, because one seed does fall on July fourth, 376 00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:23,559 Like that's a pretty Festive Day in the US of course, 377 00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:26,480 so you know you kind of get that as some 378 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,640 additional buzz within the room, right, So so so maybe 379 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,160 one B is a better timing to target the helmet 380 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,599 stuff because that the helmet stuff did add to the 381 00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:38,279 buzz from one A. Right, you know, you had ground 382 00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:40,880 You're doing his thing in the plo, you had the 383 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,880 main event kicking off, and then on top of all 384 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,880 of that, you had this this kind of lighter fluid 385 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,519 thrown in there, you know, to to make that fire 386 00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,119 burn even bigger with with helmet doing his whole grand entrance. 387 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,039 For one B on Friday, you had plenty of recognizable 388 00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:59,039 faces in the field. You had Michael the Grinder, Miss 389 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,440 Rocky in there, of course, horse the reigning champion for 390 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,039 the WSP main event and also fresh off one of 391 00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:10,200 the greatest WSOP runs ever in the ten k Peel Championship. 392 00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:13,440 You had Antonio s Fondiari playing. I haven't seen him 393 00:18:13,519 --> 00:18:16,400 all summer. You know, it's great to see that he's 394 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,799 back out there. He was out playing with his wife Amal, 395 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,400 so that was cool to see them come out and grind. 396 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,079 Antonio was up on one of the feature tables. I 397 00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:28,960 think for the entire day. So if you guys missed that, 398 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,480 if you want to check it out, you can find 399 00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:34,279 it on the ESPN Plus on ESPN app to to 400 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,039 check out that stream with Antonio. Greg Ramer was in 401 00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:40,559 the mix. Kenny Holler was in the mix. Nick Rigby 402 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,599 the Big rig, you know, he was out there doing 403 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,839 his thing. He had a ton of chips. Early think 404 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,079 he finished with a round seventy or eighty K or 405 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,440 something like that, but he was up to like one 406 00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:52,960 fifty or something one point. Kevin Martin was in the mix, 407 00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:55,960 Carrie Katz, Gerard p K. You know, kind of timely 408 00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:57,960 that PK is coming back and playing with the World 409 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,240 Cup going on. You had Eric Baldwin was out there 410 00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:05,160 as well. But again, you know, walking through the field 411 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,119 just didn't have that same electricity as one A. But 412 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,000 but that's that's fine, you know. I would say it's 413 00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:14,640 probably a bit expected, you know, not every day is 414 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,400 going to have some sort of huge pop. Again, the 415 00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:22,599 numbers that they did, the decrease year over year declining, 416 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:25,720 to me, I would view that as an improvement. I 417 00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:29,599 don't really know what to expect for Day one C, 418 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,920 you know, because that does fall on July fourth, I 419 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,359 kind of never know what to expect that day, you know, 420 00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:39,759 so who knows our Day one See it looks like 421 00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:45,119 one thousand, one hundred and fourteen entries for Day one 422 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:50,279 C last year, so oh sorry, it kicked off with 423 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,720 one thousand and one and fourteen inches. My apologies, I 424 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,960 can't read on a program news dot com or reporting 425 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,160 from last year, and it ended up with sixteen hundred 426 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,200 and seventy eight. So nice boost from start of day 427 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,119 till the end of day. So, you know, if we're 428 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,519 gonna think it's gonna have about let's split the difference 429 00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,559 between you know, year over year one A one B, 430 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,640 let's go ten percent decrease, so down what one seventy 431 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,440 they'll get around fifteen hundred entries on one C pretty good. 432 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,400 And then obviously we expect Day one D to absolutely 433 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,160 just be freaking gangbusters like it always is in there 434 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,640 with you know, thousands of people. Let me check what 435 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,160 Day one D got last year, so I can get 436 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,599 a feel for this number. Four thousand, nine hundred and 437 00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:41,640 ninety seven. So that's just an absolutely ridiculous feel. They 438 00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:45,400 finished all the day ones last year. As long as 439 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,559 the Poker News reporting is correct here with eighty six 440 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,839 hundred and ninety four entries, which means that because they 441 00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:56,279 got nine thousand, seven hundred and thirty five I believe 442 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,480 was the final entry, which means they got more than 443 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:04,160 one thousd thousand late entries on day two, so sometime 444 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,599 between when the day ones ended until the start of 445 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,559 day two and then also until the late redge through 446 00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:12,960 the seven levels, so a lot of late wredge. So 447 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:16,039 if let's say it was one thousand last year, I'll 448 00:21:16,039 --> 00:21:18,799 say that it's probably going to be right around one 449 00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:20,720 thousand last year. And I know earlier I said that 450 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,839 I would expect it to be larger. But if you 451 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,400 bake in a natural decrease that we've been seeing year 452 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,400 over year, that's something that could possibly be anticipated. Well, 453 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,680 then if it does equal last year, then you know, 454 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,599 it kind of bucked that that decrease, and that would 455 00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:36,319 be a really good thing. But I'll say it'll be 456 00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:41,640 I'll say eleven hundred eleven hundred late entries past day one, 457 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:44,680 and that's what I'm going with again. I just think 458 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,920 that players realize, listen, I get to come in with 459 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,119 fifty bigs, you know, or more if you come in 460 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,839 a little bit sooner than the max late redge. They 461 00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:54,759 get to come in with the fifty bigs. There's still 462 00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:57,000 a lot of stuff that I can play, you know, 463 00:21:57,599 --> 00:21:59,799 covering those early days today there was a five case 464 00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,119 shoes for Turbo. You had stuff going on in Ari. Yeah, 465 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,720 you had a huge three k plow mystery bounty happening 466 00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:07,279 at the win. So it's not just the stuff at 467 00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:10,559 the World Series book, but it's stuff elsewhere around town. 468 00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:20,880 First out on one B, according to the Poker News reporting, 469 00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:25,640 was Stephen Lee. Now was Stephen Lee different than Marini? 470 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,319 Marini got his money in bad Ace King suited versus 471 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,880 aces here, Stephen Lee got his money in pretty damn 472 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,880 good Shraga. Rubyl limp re raised from the hijack. Lee 473 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,640 was on the button. Lee makes the call. They go 474 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,240 to a flop of ten seven six, ten of clubs, 475 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,559 seven of diamonds, six of diamonds. Rubyle bets, Lee raises, 476 00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:50,799 Ruby goes all in. Lee calls, Lee's got a set 477 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,079 of sevens. Lovely spot. Right. I mean if your opponent 478 00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:58,039 decides to limp pre raise with two tens or with 479 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,440 the eight nine, I mean, okay, whatever, Like, what are 480 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,880 you gonna do Cooler City here. It was Ruble with 481 00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:08,119 the Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Club, so took those rockets, 482 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,799 limped in from the hijack, re raised the button raise. 483 00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:12,240 They end up getting the money in on the ten 484 00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:16,200 seven six two diamond flop, it comes eight of diamonds 485 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,480 and I'm guessing you guys can can figure out where 486 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,680 this is going. Queen of Diamonds on the river, backdoor 487 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:26,319 diamonds for Ruble. That busts, the set of sevens for 488 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,079 Lee and he's out the door. As at least reported 489 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:32,319 by Poker News, though the first player to bust on 490 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,160 Day one B of the twenty twenty six w SP 491 00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:39,119 main event. Others to bust out looking through the pocon 492 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,720 News chip counts, Kelly Lucas busted, Lily Koletto busted. Literally 493 00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:45,759 Kalletto at one point made quads. She flopped a set 494 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:48,680 against Kevin Martin on King Queen eight, and then it 495 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,440 was four on the turn eight on the river and 496 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,359 she had eights against King Queen for Kevin Martin. She 497 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,839 won that pop but still ultimately busted on the day. 498 00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:59,880 And then you also had genre Vera Bland busting out. 499 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,359 I was talking to somebody out on the floor that 500 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,119 saw Bolone throughout the day a little bit and then 501 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,960 his bus and they said, you know what, Bolon just 502 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,319 didn't look like he wanted to be there today. So 503 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,440 I don't know, maybe the cash games are bigger whatever, 504 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,799 But off she goes for JRB. The bigger stacks at 505 00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:20,519 the end of one bee belonged to Brazil's Osmar Rockenbach, 506 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:27,079 Michael Stemberra, Demage Davenport. I believe his nickname is trick Time. 507 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,240 I believe William Watson, Shawn Savage, Ali Islami, and Shota 508 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,279 Nakanishi alias Lami and Shota Knackaniche are both bracelet winners 509 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,359 from past wsops and I think that's gonna be it 510 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:44,400 for one b of THESP main event. Oh, I got 511 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,039 gotta shout out my guy. Ryan talked about him playing 512 00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:50,000 his first WSP main event. I believe I saw in 513 00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:53,039 the app that he bagged around twenty two thousand or so, 514 00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:56,359 So twenty two thousand from sixty thousand, Ryan, if you're listening, 515 00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:01,079 I know it stinks to not bag decent stack more 516 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,279 than starting even just pretty much exactly starting whatever. It 517 00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:08,079 doesn't matter, right, you heard Jason Kuhn talk about it 518 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,839 at the end of the last episode, like you're still 519 00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:13,240 pretty deep. You just got to focus on how many 520 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,240 big blinds you have at the time, focus on the 521 00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:18,559 next hand, and just you know, try and play the 522 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,440 best poker and the chips will come. You know, you 523 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,200 heard Jason Kuhon say that, you know, twenty five big 524 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,279 blinds can turn into one hundred big lines really quick, 525 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240 and they can't. So just buckle down, get focused, and 526 00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:31,440 enjoy your days off and come back strong on Monday. 527 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,759 All right. Moving on to some of the other events 528 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,519 that took place at the twenty twenty six WSOP. On Friday, 529 00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,400 you had Assi Emoshi winning the three k nolamit hold 530 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,880 Them Freeze Out. There were fourteen players returning to the 531 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,599 final day. Those fourteen players came from a field of 532 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,920 seventeen hundred and ninety two entries. Moshi won six hundred 533 00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:58,400 and eighty three thousand dollars, his fifth WSOP Gold bracelet. 534 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,599 Prior to this he won He's won two event too. Sorry, 535 00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:06,559 he was on two bracelets. At WISIP Europe in twenty nineteen, 536 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,839 he won the sixteen to fifty euro potlom and Omaha 537 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,000 Slash Nolan a hold Them mix, and then also that 538 00:26:13,079 --> 00:26:15,200 year but in Vegas, he won the fifteen hundred dollars 539 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,559 Nolanman Holdham Bounty tournament. In twenty eighteen, so a year 540 00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:23,359 prior in Europe he won the sixteen fifty Nolan hold 541 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,440 Him six Max. And then twenty fourteen as when he 542 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,799 won his first bracelet, he won the fifte he won 543 00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:31,200 a fifteen hundred dollars Nolanman hold Him event for five 544 00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:34,039 hundred and eighty two thousand dollars for that one, so 545 00:26:34,079 --> 00:26:39,279 a fifth bracelet here for Moshi. Interesting nuggets that he 546 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,359 stepped away from playing professional poker, which is, you know, 547 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,079 a little bit surprising when you consider someone who has 548 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,599 had the success that Moshi's had, you know, two point 549 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,000 almost two point eight million dollars in live tournament earnings. 550 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,839 He's got four bracelets, right, but stepped away from playing professionally, 551 00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:56,759 claims to be a recreational player now has been away 552 00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:58,759 from the game as a pro for about a year. 553 00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:03,119 Comes back here rips off this three k Nolavan hold 554 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,000 Him freeze out when topping a pretty big field, getting 555 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,319 a nice hefty pay day of almost almost seven hundred 556 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,720 k and has to be happy that he's still got 557 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,359 some game. You know, he's not just all old and 558 00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:15,200 washed up now that he's a now that he's just 559 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,880 a wreck man, now that he's just a wreck cow 560 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,839 do out of China, finishing in second place, Igor poppik 561 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,240 In third, Dustin Murphy, and fourth Chris Mormon seventh Andrew Moreno. 562 00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:28,640 Andre Burno came into the day as the chip leader 563 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,519 one out of fourteen, but things did not go his way. 564 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:35,640 I saw on his Instagram account that he put in 565 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,079 something along the lines of, you know, not much I 566 00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:41,079 felt I could do today, which you know, is kind 567 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:43,359 of similar to what I talked about on the last 568 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,799 episode as a pertained to Adrian Matteos and his run 569 00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:48,880 which ultimately ended in his elimination on Day one A 570 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,279 of the WSP main event, where sometimes you know, there 571 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,680 you're just in a seat that is just never ever 572 00:27:53,759 --> 00:27:58,279 ever going to win. I did see Moreno's last hand 573 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,319 three bet all in with Jack's most of YEA obviously 574 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,319 opened with queens, So it just it just was not 575 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,960 his day, really, really nothing that he could do. Book. 576 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,759 Congratulations to most you for getting bracelet number five and 577 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,920 six hundred and eighty three thousand dollars. All right, this 578 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,759 big ten K eight game Mixed Championship is done, and 579 00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:25,279 we have Dmitri Urbanovitch winning the title. He defeats Richard 580 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:28,359 Bye in second place, Urbanovitch taking home four hundred and 581 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,400 thirty one thousand dollars. Richard By took home two hundred 582 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,759 and eighty three thousand dollars for second place. Derek an 583 00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:38,279 Hour third place, Brian Rast fourth place, Alex Fix Fox 584 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:42,359 excuse me, Alex not, Alex Fixon, Alex Fox in fifth place, 585 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,799 Matt Vangren sixth, Maxim Pikorenko seventh, Ryan Miller eighth. I mean, 586 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:49,640 this is just an absolutely stacked field. I saw what 587 00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:52,480 as it pertains to this event. Our friend of the pod, 588 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:55,680 David Odb Baker got a Platt tire on the way 589 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:59,240 to play the final day here, had to hop in 590 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:01,440 a New Burg get down there. So I'm sure that 591 00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:03,880 was pretty hectic and you know, probably a little bit 592 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,160 stressful as well. Odb ultimately finished in twelfth place for 593 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,559 twenty seven thousand dollars. Urbanovitch, you know, remember this guy. 594 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,039 A couple of years ago, he was out there saying 595 00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:17,920 like I'm gonna win three bracelets in at WSP and 596 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,720 everyone's like, what the heck are you talking about? So 597 00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:24,799 a bit, you know, a bit removed from that. Probably 598 00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:28,680 that was, you know, just his young, egotistical self speaking, 599 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,559 you know, you know, words that he necessarily couldn't back up. 600 00:29:31,599 --> 00:29:33,519 But you know, I get it. We were all young 601 00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:37,160 and just spout nonsense once. I probably still spout nonsense 602 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,079 right now. Arbanovich is able to do the damn thing 603 00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:42,920 here in the ten K eight Game Mix Championship, which 604 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,319 is no easy tournament to win, a lot of really 605 00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:47,599 tough players. Of course, you got to play eight different games, 606 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,680 one hundred and ninety nine entries in this field. Congratulations 607 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,079 to Orbanovitch for getting that first bracelet and four hundred 608 00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:59,240 and thirty thousand dollars in the six hundred dollars Deep 609 00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:02,519 Stack champ being CHIP. You have five players remaining from 610 00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:07,000 a field of five thousand, one hundred and seventy seven entries. 611 00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,440 Adrian Jacobs out of South Africa is the chip leader. 612 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Big Chip lead for Jacobs, He's got sixty seven million, 613 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,480 which equates to one hundred and twelve big blinds. Second 614 00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:22,759 place is Jungghan with thirty million or fifty big blinds, 615 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:27,319 so more than double for Jacob's, Paul Verlette, Jingwei Chen, 616 00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:33,400 and Juniki Mirakami probably butchered that name in fifth place 617 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,960 here going into the final day. First place in this 618 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,839 one is two hundred and eighty two thousand dollars. These 619 00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:42,960 final five players are guaranteed almost sixty thousand dollars in 620 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:48,559 prize money. Not a whole ton to report from the 621 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,200 eight hundred dollars Summer Celebration. It's yesterday was Day one 622 00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:54,640 B today or sorry, yesterday was Day one A. Today 623 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,920 is Day one B. They are over sixty eight hundred 624 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,680 entries in the field. Day two is on Saturday, July fourth, 625 00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:07,759 so not a whole bunch to report here, but really, 626 00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:10,880 big field gonna be a big first place prize for 627 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,440 this one. Someone's gonna turn eight hundred bucks into a 628 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,279 pretty six score, and we'll look forward to talking about 629 00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:19,799 the winner in the eight hundred dollars Summer Celebration when 630 00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:23,319 that happens in a day or two. The fifteen hundred 631 00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:27,000 dollars Double Board Bomb Pot Pot Limit Omaha Tournament is 632 00:31:27,839 --> 00:31:31,279 the reporting says they are playing the final four hands 633 00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:33,440 of the day, so we'll just quickly touch on this. 634 00:31:33,599 --> 00:31:37,319 Jesse Lonis looks like he's up there near the top 635 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,880 the gorilla himself. I mean, he's had several several close calls. 636 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,400 If you guys remember back to the beginning of the summer, 637 00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:47,480 way the heck back I think was the five K PLO. 638 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,200 It was either the five K PLO or the five 639 00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:51,119 K Nolan, one of one of those two tournaments right 640 00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:53,880 at the beginning of the year. But Lonus got second 641 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,759 or third, so he's you know, he's had a pretty 642 00:31:56,759 --> 00:31:59,680 good summer overall. You know, obviously doesn't have the big 643 00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:03,640 win yet, but heck, who knows it could come In 644 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,440 this fifteen hundred dollars double board a bomb pot PLO. 645 00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,759 Sixteen hundred and seventy three entries was the tally from 646 00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:13,039 this field they are down to. It looks like twenty 647 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,119 entries entering the final day. Somebody that I haven't seen 648 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,240 in a while, whose name is in the chip counts. 649 00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:21,359 I'm not sure you guys would know this name. This 650 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,880 is more of just me seeing this person all the 651 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,799 time at the recipe and haven't seen him for a while. 652 00:32:25,839 --> 00:32:30,119 But Christopher Amerol looks like he's still in and grinding away. 653 00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:33,599 Justin Fawcett is in there as well. Justin Fawcett I 654 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,960 believe both drafted a team in twenty five K Fantasy 655 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,359 and is a player that was drafted in twenty five 656 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,559 K Fantasy. Don't know if he drafted himself that would 657 00:32:43,599 --> 00:32:47,039 make sense. Of course. He's also a bracelet winner in 658 00:32:47,119 --> 00:32:51,559 the five K Super Turbo Bounty. Now, this is a 659 00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:56,160 cool tournament just because of the scheduling, right, you know 660 00:32:56,319 --> 00:32:59,839 you this tournament, I think just takes two days, and 661 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,640 so if it happens on one B and one CE 662 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,000 of the WSWE main event, you get everyone that played 663 00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:09,920 and bagged or played and busted one A, and then 664 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,279 you get everyone else that isn't gonna play till one D. 665 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,880 So this is perfectly timed, which probably led to the 666 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,960 fact that they had twelve hundred and thirteen entries out 667 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,759 there blasting in this one. First place is a nice 668 00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:25,359 healthy five hundred and ninety three thousand dollars. They are 669 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,160 down under thirty players, remaining players such as Michael Burke, 670 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,119 Pete Chen Miles, Maleayley Nioa Kihara, Niahoah Kihara again making 671 00:33:34,119 --> 00:33:39,680 a deep run, Jack Dewong, Nick Papio, Dara Taharpur, Colin 672 00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:43,359 Robinson's in the mix, Christian Harder. These all according to 673 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,400 the chip counts on Poker News. So think they're still playing, 674 00:33:47,599 --> 00:33:49,319 so it gonna be some time left here. I had 675 00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,119 this this might even be a one day event for all. 676 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,680 I'd for you though. If it says super Turbo Bounty, 677 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,480 I would think that's a one day event. Let me 678 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,319 let me scroll back here and see if I can. 679 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,240 I can figure this out. Yeah, this is a one 680 00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:03,720 day event, all right, so this is even better. They 681 00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:05,640 should run. They should run another one of these on 682 00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:08,400 day one. C they should just run run two of 683 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,920 these tournaments. I don't know if they are. I'm sure 684 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,880 I could look up the schedule, but you know, I 685 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,039 mean that's just that would take work, right, that would 686 00:34:16,039 --> 00:34:21,519 take effort. July fourth, they have a one K nolan 687 00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:24,280 at hold them a two day one K nolan hold 688 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,719 they should for sure run. I mean this one K 689 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,559 nolan holden has to be like a turboish type of format, 690 00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:32,280 which I like that as well. But maybe you could 691 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,559 do maybe on on July fourth, you could have that 692 00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:37,039 one K Nolman hold in that two day event. You know, 693 00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,760 for the lower and mid range players, and then on 694 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,599 the high end you could run a ten k super 695 00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:45,519 turbo bounty, right, Like, that'd be cool. Why not, you know, 696 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,199 just just crank these babies out. Let's go. If people 697 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:51,719 I know on one side you can say like, yeah, 698 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,360 but they already have one hundred bracelets. They have, however, 699 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,920 many bracelets all year round. The bracelet's not worth anything, 700 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,559 blah blah blah whatever, Like honestly, who cares? Right? Who 701 00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:01,880 cares a that? If people are going to show up 702 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,519 and play tournaments and the number is healthy, then just 703 00:35:04,559 --> 00:35:07,960 give them tournaments to play, Okay, end of story. Collect 704 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,679 that rake, put on the show, put on the events, 705 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,960 and let's just go. So I don't know if you 706 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,320 can make it happen. Jeff plapput a ten K superturb 707 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,920 of bounty on Saturday, July fourth. Let's go make it 708 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,800 a fifteen K superturb of bounty. Why not? I think 709 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,320 that's going to do it relatively short and sweet here. 710 00:35:25,159 --> 00:35:28,320 But of course I am trying to play the SOP 711 00:35:28,559 --> 00:35:32,320 main event tomorrow. I'm very much looking forward to it. 712 00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:35,199 I started last year when I had that run to 713 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,199 day six on July fourth, I'm starting this year on 714 00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:44,480 July fourth.
