1
00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:22,559
Speaker 1: Then Rex and I.

2
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, welcome back to a new episode of the

3
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,280
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. You're gonna

4
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,399
get a wild time. Sunday July twelfth, twelve, twenty one

5
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:41,799
pm is when I'm recording. You might be able to

6
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:44,479
hear it in my voice. I have been battling a

7
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,479
wicked case of strep throat. That's why I did not

8
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,039
do the podcast up until today. But we do have

9
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:56,560
a couple of interviews that my guy Remco grabbed when

10
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,560
he was down there during Day six of the main event.

11
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,719
I do want to play those for you guys to

12
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,319
ultimately continue to tell this story. So we're just gonna

13
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,640
have to power through this one and talk about in

14
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640
day six. I know you guys are going to be

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,799
listening to this when Day seven is running, but hopefully

16
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,480
we'll get caught up and then I'll be able to

17
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:20,519
resume a normal schedule come the end of day seven.

18
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:25,640
Sixty two players remain from Day six. Those sixty two

19
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,599
players are guaranteed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Tyler

20
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:38,400
Gaston leads the way. Tyler Gaston, Blake Baruss, Shaolu, Mario Boos,

21
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,319
hosting Enson the twenty nineteen winner Ramy Hamoud jung Ji Tang,

22
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,599
Malcolm trainor the run that this kid is on. I

23
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,200
believe he's twenty six or twenty seven years old. Australian kid,

24
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:56,719
of course, came onto the scene a couple of years

25
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:00,079
ago when he won the WSP Mystery Millions for a

26
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:04,920
million dollars and then he just won the recently revived

27
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:08,919
Hauzy Million's main event back in April. I think it

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
was so one that so Malcolm Trainer. This kid's just

29
00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:16,800
on fire, sitting in ninth place coming into day seven,

30
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,080
the one, the only Todd Brunson. That's pretty damn cool

31
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,199
if you ask me.

32
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: So.

33
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: Todd Brunson is going strong and he is the first

34
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:30,919
of three interviews that we're gonna play today. Remco caught

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
up with Todd Brunson during Day six and here is

36
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:35,599
that interview for you now.

37
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:38,479
Speaker 4: Todd, how much fun is it to go deep in.

38
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 5: The Big One? Oh? There's nothing more fun to going

39
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:41,840
deep in the main event.

40
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 6: As far as your experience, what do you use specifically

41
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,479
in the main that gives you an edsuance? Uh?

42
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 5: Well, I only played a no limit hold of pretty

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,719
much once a year, so just every time, I don't know,

44
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,960
watch young kids what they do and then make adjustments

45
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,439
for my game.

46
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 6: I guess the studying is like a big conversation point

47
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,240
among like the upcoming young crowd. What do you take

48
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,439
from their playing style? And then how do you see

49
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,879
what they do and how does it help your game?

50
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: Perhaps?

51
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:16,039
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, like I just said, you watch what they

52
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,639
do and kind of make some adjustments and do a

53
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,879
few things a little bit differently.

54
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,039
Speaker 6: And as far as playing mixed games year round, is

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,199
it a big adjustment to step into this event's deep stack?

56
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: Obviously slow structures.

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 7: Do you have time?

58
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: But does it take some mental adjustments or other specifics?

59
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, this is completely different than mixed games. I

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,879
mean completely different. So yeah, it's you know, that's why

61
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:42,280
it's fun.

62
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 6: Ten million dollars at top. We're now getting into thick

63
00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:49,240
of things. Do you notice the adrenaline rising. Is this

64
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:50,879
different than a few days ago?

65
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 5: Well? Yeah, of course it always builds a little bit.

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,000
But I don't. I just worry about what's happening right

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,840
now this table, and you know stuff like I don't,

68
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,199
I don't worry about tomorrow, not yet.

69
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,439
Speaker 6: Take us back to the first time you played the

70
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:05,360
main event. You remember what year it was and what

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,319
the circumstances were.

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 5: First time I played the main event, the first time

73
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,520
I signed up for the main event, I want to satellite.

74
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,439
So back then, we never start at twelve. Sometimes it

75
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:18,600
would start like at three. They like waited for people

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,240
and stuff. And I was sitting there waiting to play,

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,079
and I got a tap on the shoulder and Jack

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,399
Benny would like to speak with you. He said, okay,

79
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,759
and he came and said, you know, Todd, you're only nineteen,

80
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:32,399
and he goes, I'd let you play, but I'm under

81
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:34,839
indictment and I just can't fade the heat right now.

82
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,759
Said I understand, Jack, no problem. They give me my

83
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:42,720
you know, money back, and then I want a satellite again.

84
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,759
The next year and I played this, I signed up again.

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,240
I got the tap on the shoulder again, and Jack

86
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,839
had a smile on his face. I walked up and

87
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:51,519
I pulled out a fake ID and I showed him.

88
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:54,079
I said, I have a fake ID, Jack, and he

89
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,800
said he looked at it and goes, well, you're a

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,399
little too well known. If you win, I don't think

91
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,720
they're gonna believe you're Joe Brown, so you can't. I

92
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:04,199
don't think you can. It's a good idea for you

93
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,959
to play again, I said, okay.

94
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: And then the following year you did play for the

95
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,519
first time.

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 5: I believe I did. Yeah.

97
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 6: And do you have a memory of what the sort

98
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,279
of aura or the excitement.

99
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: Around the main event was back then?

100
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 7: Because we know all this, would.

101
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 5: You also know what it used to be like? Well,

102
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,879
I mean it was always special, it was special back then.

103
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:29,040
And yeah, along the early years, I got really deep

104
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,639
and I was like the chip Ley with twenty people

105
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:35,360
left and I think I finished thirteenth. So that was

106
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:38,079
my best finish football beat that in this one.

107
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:38,759
Speaker 7: That'd be great.

108
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,319
Speaker 6: Final question, Your dad's legacy in poker, but especially also

109
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,360
in the main band is unmatched. I was fortunate enough

110
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:47,759
to be there when you guys both made the final

111
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,199
table to produced a couple of years ago. Does his

112
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,759
memory ring a little stronger on days like today where

113
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:55,279
you're battling the way your.

114
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 4: Dad used to and you know, perhaps you know like

115
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:58,839
channel it.

116
00:05:58,759 --> 00:05:59,199
Speaker 7: A little bit.

117
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 5: I wish I had a good answer, but no, nothing

118
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,439
I ever think about.

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,079
Speaker 4: But it's great to see he has never lived on.

120
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, yeah, the only time we think about

121
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:10,800
it is like the UH used to have a family

122
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,560
group chat that's not there anymore that I would update

123
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,040
or something.

124
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was todd cool to hear that little

125
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,199
story about how he tried to get into the main

126
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,720
event when he was nineteen, when he was twenty bold underage,

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,399
ultimately didn't make it in thanks to Jack Binni. But

128
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,839
here he is now and he's going strong. Lucas Jumalan

129
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,920
is in. Antonio Galliana. Antonio Galliana is a two time

130
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,319
up Visit Pe Bracelet winner out of Spain. I believe

131
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,160
he played a wild hand. Think it was the five

132
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:46,560
K six Max five. I don't know. It was like bluff, bluff, bluff.

133
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,680
I think it was against Johann Gilbert, but he bluffed

134
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,839
with I don't know, some crazy hand. It's just an epic,

135
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,439
epic hand anyway, But he's still in. Jamie Shavell in

136
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,480
Maxim Shilo is still in as well. Giuseppe Pantaleoi. Pantaleo

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,399
was the beneficiary of a punt. I'll say it from

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,519
TJ Reid.

139
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 7: TJ.

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,519
Speaker 2: Reid, I think might have four or five bet with

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,040
King Queen or Heath four bet and Pantaleo five bet.

142
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,199
He called it came Queen High Hall Spades. They got

143
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:25,079
the money in. Toby Lewis, I don't know why I

144
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,439
said that, Oh, because I'm looking at Romaine Lewis's next

145
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:28,319
on these chip counts.

146
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: T J.

147
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,519
Speaker 2: Reid had King Queen with the King of Spades, Pantaleo

148
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,120
had Aces with the Ace of Spades, and that ultimately busted.

149
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: TJ.

150
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:35,759
Speaker 7: Reaid.

151
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,199
Speaker 2: I'll get into the bust outs in a minute. Romaine

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Lewis still in, Ralph Perry still in Han Fang is

153
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,040
in there. Brock Wilson we talked about how brock Wilson

154
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:48,720
a few different times during the summer, how it just

155
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:50,639
really hasn't been his summer for as hot as he

156
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:53,720
was for the first part of the year. But here

157
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:56,480
he is trying to make it all go away with

158
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,480
one run in the World Series of Poker main event.

159
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Michael Aguiano gags he's still in Alan Signier, This guy

160
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:07,920
Alan Sannier. He is playing some wild poke rout there.

161
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240
He is not scared at all to pull the trigger

162
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:12,240
on some big, big bluffs and he has been doing

163
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:14,560
it and it has been working out very well for him.

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,879
Daniel Savas, Will Gibbons. Will Gibbons is still in the mix.

165
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,959
A little bit more tamed was Gibbons on Day six

166
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,319
than he was on Day five. We all know his

167
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:29,040
story now. If you missed it, go back an episode

168
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,920
or two and listen to the interview with him. Or

169
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,399
he was banned from Caesar's properties up until about three

170
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:36,480
or four weeks before this summer, got a lawyer, got

171
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,600
back in. He made one final table in the fifteen

172
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,799
hundred plo. He made a deep run in the Millimaker,

173
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,039
and here he is making a deep run in the

174
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,759
WSP main event. Greg Mueller FBT himself is in the mix.

175
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:56,120
Mark Troupp, this guy had a wild start to Day five,

176
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:00,919
came into Day five super early on. He he gets

177
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,759
aces versus Ace King on back to back hands, doubled

178
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:08,159
up both times, so a huge start to his Day five.

179
00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:10,200
Ultimately has now been able to run that into a

180
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:14,279
Day seven appearance. Sean Deep is still in the mix.

181
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,720
Sean Deep, Tina doesn't care brought it up is to

182
00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:19,279
be main event. I don't know, I don't know if

183
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:21,320
he's I don't know if he's just bsing us with

184
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,879
this whole talk or if he really legitimately doesn't care.

185
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,799
Either way, I'll let you guys decide on it. I

186
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,120
haven't decided on it, but maybe you guys can decide.

187
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,840
Because Remco did speak with him, and he asked him about,

188
00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:34,960
you know, being in the main event and not necessarily

189
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,519
caring about it. And here's that interview with Sean Deep.

190
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 6: Now shaw, deeep, how bothered are you by going Deep

191
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,240
in the main That's the worst feeling ever.

192
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 7: Everyone's so excited. I'm so apathetic. I can't wait to

193
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,639
bust and go play the fucking three hundred dollar Gladiator.

194
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,240
You know, I treat poker a little differently. I think

195
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,159
I'm the only one getting too much sleep so far

196
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,320
in the main Everyone else is talking about lack of sleep.

197
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,240
I sleep better than ever. Yeah, it's, you know, a

198
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,120
different mindset way I see poker and spots like this.

199
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:05,559
And you know, I always talk about emotional control and

200
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,559
something I'm very good at, and you know, I just

201
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,120
don't get excited about anything, and it helps me not

202
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:12,600
get dejected when things are going poorly.

203
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 6: So what is it about your mindset in this particular

204
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,200
event versus the rest of the summer that's so different.

205
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 7: No, I mean I have the same mindset and this

206
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,519
as every other one. Like, I'm happy to bust and

207
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,240
go on into the next tournament. That's probably the reason

208
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:26,679
why I bust them so often. And you know my

209
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,960
goal is Player of the Year, and so I'm trying

210
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,200
to get the most Player of the Year points I

211
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,720
can get out of one, even though it's really hard.

212
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,159
So that just means at this point surviving and fine tabling,

213
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,039
and so that's what all makes sure I do.

214
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 6: The money equity, of course, grows with each passing day.

215
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:42,600
You have a big stack, you have a lot of experience.

216
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,919
How much how much? And when is that going to.

217
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 7: Be a factor. I doubt if I ever thought it

218
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,519
would affect my game, you know, I'd reach out to

219
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,519
JMO and sell some action, you know, at ICM or

220
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,919
probably ICM premium because this field remaining is very soft

221
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,200
right now. So yeah, I'm not really worried, you know.

222
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,039
I know, if I bust immediately or if I win,

223
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:06,320
my life ain't gonna change that much. Obviously, winning changes

224
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,639
a little bit. My wife will spend a little bit

225
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:11,440
more on the house we're building. My kids will you know,

226
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,799
one of my kids ask for a Lamborghini if in

227
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,320
the main. You know, they're smart kids, they know what

228
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,000
they could get. But no, it'll just you know, probably

229
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,480
keep me home even more than I already am. You know,

230
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:24,960
I'm pretty much only there. Actually, I don't think it'll

231
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,039
affect my travel schedule if I win, But who knows,

232
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:29,320
maybe sponsorhip will give me enough mine adjustif by leaving

233
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:29,840
a little more.

234
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,759
Speaker 6: Why does the prestige of POY drive you so much?

235
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:36,320
And I've never heard you talk about the prestige of

236
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:36,600
the main.

237
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 7: I think POY is the hardest thing to win, and

238
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:44,639
it's the thing where skilled determination volume are the most

239
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,399
important thing to succeed there. And the main is just

240
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:50,360
so much variance. There's so much table draws. You know,

241
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,159
I gotten two flips or it's almost all in. I

242
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,600
lose either of those, I'm out. Like, there's not really

243
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:57,600
a way to overcome a ten thousand person field in

244
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,320
a reasonable you know, sample size once a year. So

245
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,240
for that reason, I've never really treated put on the

246
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,799
pedestal that other people put it on, because I know

247
00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:09,080
that you know the spot I'm in, it won't come

248
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,600
off and come in very often in my career, and

249
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,000
it's just nothing based on skill. It just I've had

250
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:17,879
great tables. I've had won the key hands and you know,

251
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,759
made some hands on the river and that's just kind

252
00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:22,840
of why I'm here instead of other people. But you know,

253
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,039
I've definitely stolen my fair share of pots and that's

254
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,240
how I have as many chips I do.

255
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,879
Speaker 4: Are you at least having fun?

256
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 7: Oh, it's like people try so hard in this term

257
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,600
and to like play good, to play a particular way,

258
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:38,759
to be like I'm talking of, I'm this like, you know,

259
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,759
I've met some cool people. I will say in this event.

260
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,559
There's two I can think of that I really enjoyed

261
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,120
my interactions with them. But some people are just like

262
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,320
so stiff because it's too big of a spot for them.

263
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,799
So thankfully, you know, my table yesterday at the Future

264
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:55,120
table was and was very light, you know, emotionally physically.

265
00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:57,279
I think they're all doing play well. Financially they all

266
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,799
weren't you know, serious poker pro So we had a

267
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:02,240
good time last night at stream. Unfortunately the given show

268
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,879
people didn't watch in May hand, So hopefully next year

269
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:07,360
they have multiple streams because I think my table, if

270
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,120
it was stream for two hours, would have been more

271
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,879
entertaining from a conversation standpoint than a play standpoint.

272
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 6: Final question, is it a case of a final table

273
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,440
or bust taking more risks or are you still locked

274
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,320
into play in your game?

275
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 7: I mean my mindset every tournament. No, you know, obviously,

276
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,639
the page the POI jumps are so fucking small this

277
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,480
whole tournament until tenth to ninth that's you know, and

278
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:32,879
even then the money is so much that I'm still gonna,

279
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:36,039
you know, play real poker and good poker. So yeah,

280
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,960
poys an afterthought ish, But if I bust the main

281
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,639
I'm be happy because I get to go play something else,

282
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:44,639
like I you know, it doesn't matter how I bust,

283
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,879
I'll be in whatever event registration's open on. So that

284
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,480
was deep.

285
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:51,919
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it's the main event, buddy, and

286
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,919
you can win ten million dollars and I think there's

287
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:57,080
nineteen hundred points up top for the Player of the

288
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,159
Year race sema as well, just win this tournament and

289
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,679
win player of the year, Like that's how you do it, right.

290
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,960
Thomas Klak still in. Jacob Thibodeau aka Tibbs played with

291
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:11,000
him a lot around town. Very very solid player, very

292
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,279
unassuming like no one would know him or recognize him.

293
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:16,000
He's out of Alaska, but he did move down here

294
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,879
to Las Vegas. I've played with him at when I've

295
00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:22,200
played with him at Venetian, you know quite a bit.

296
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:24,120
Played with him at the w SB a couple of

297
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:28,159
years ago. Was always extremely tough. Seems like a very

298
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:30,279
good player who puts a lot into his game, and

299
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:33,279
here he is seeing all that work come to fruition

300
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:35,399
in a big way with a deep run here in

301
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,000
the main LORI Shashkilatti. I hope I didn't butcher that

302
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,320
last name. He's still a ehar Soika. He's a high roller.

303
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,639
Is Soika making some waves here? I'm gonna butcher this

304
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:53,240
one for sure. Eva Gorris Eva Goru in the mix,

305
00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Jason Cornegae, Kayasuke Nagami, Sashin Josie. He played extra reely

306
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,320
well on a stream for day six. Even though I

307
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,679
am pretty much bedridden for the past day and a half,

308
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:11,519
I've had the stream on NonStop, So I guess that's

309
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,759
the silver lining here. You know, when I'm there at

310
00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:17,039
Paris and Horseshoe, you know you can't always watch the

311
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:18,679
stream because you're out there on the floor you're trying

312
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,960
to get a feel what's happening, talk to people, et cetera.

313
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,480
But being at home, you know, I was able to

314
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:28,679
watch the stream pretty much NonStop from start to finish,

315
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,240
so it was really really good. Christopher, George Still and

316
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:35,879
Patrick Leonard Pads himself on an absolute rush. Pads went

317
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:38,879
to the England Mexico game down in Mexico City, came

318
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,879
back registered late on Day two d and here he

319
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200
is running deep with sixty two players left heading to

320
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,159
day seven in the main event. And he is the

321
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,559
third and final player that Remco talked to on a

322
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:54,879
Day six. So let's hear from Patrick Leonard.

323
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 7: Now, is it coming home? It may be coming home.

324
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:00,799
Speaker 3: I'm not sure why which fell to maybe come home

325
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,440
in but uh, I'll take either either of them, to

326
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:03,840
be honest.

327
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: So yeah, So how do you how you do weigh

328
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:08,440
these England winning the World Cup or you winning the

329
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:08,879
main Event.

330
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,159
Speaker 3: I don't think there's much chance of England winning the

331
00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:15,240
World Cup again, but I may win the main event again,

332
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:16,960
so I might give my one time to England and

333
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:19,559
just back myself to have a deep run again in

334
00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:19,960
the future.

335
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 5: I guess you've been.

336
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 6: One of the most consistent performers live and online for

337
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,159
such a long time.

338
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 7: What would a break up performance and the main mean

339
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,960
to you? Hm? Interesting?

340
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: Uh, probably not too much, to be honest, I've actually

341
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,519
always struggled with celebrating wins. I feel like once I

342
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:41,159
win something that I feel as big at the time, afterwards,

343
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:45,120
I'm empty, you know, I realize kind of like the

344
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,519
journey's amazing, like playing now, meeting all these people, it

345
00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:51,559
feels great, but the destination isn't always as happy as

346
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,600
you think it may be. I'm very, very close friends

347
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:57,440
with espen and I was with him on a rail

348
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,120
from this point all the way on, and he had

349
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:01,159
a great time around about now, and of course he

350
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,279
enjoyed winning, but he didn't enjoy winning as much as

351
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:07,160
he thought he may do. So being next to him

352
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,599
and seeing him like that is trying to make me

353
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,799
enjoy the right now. You know, if I win, it's

354
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:16,599
going to be amazing, It's going to be a lot

355
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,680
of look involved, and obviously I feel great, I feel proud,

356
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,920
But right now I'm just focusing on each hand, getting

357
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,480
to know all of the opponents at the tables, and yeah,

358
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:30,559
I genuinely met probably twelve new friends here that I'm

359
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:32,440
going to see in the corridors for the next twenty years.

360
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,119
And as corny as it sounds, that feels like more

361
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,880
of a wind than money, you know. So yeah, that's

362
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,279
why I'm kind of trying to see it right now.

363
00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 6: There. How much of the game that you've been studying,

364
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,440
that you've been working off for all these years, can

365
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,279
you really apply at this stage in a tournament against

366
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:50,000
this type of field?

367
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: A lot When I think about poker and studying, I

368
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,839
spend a lot of hours, but I'm usually a sim

369
00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:57,839
will come up, a spot will come up, and I'll

370
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,440
usually say, well, what does this actually mean in life?

371
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,519
You know, like if they do a slight bit less

372
00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:06,640
of this year, which direction do I go in? Also,

373
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:07,880
like how much your hand's worth?

374
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:08,799
Speaker 7: You know, the solver will.

375
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,079
Speaker 3: Often tell you to play you know, let's say like

376
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:12,799
a queen nine offseuit or a seven opposite be these hands,

377
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:15,319
I'm making very little amount of money, like zero point

378
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,440
zero one in ev in terms of big blinds, whereas

379
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:19,079
you might get a spot where you flip a set

380
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,480
or you have aces or whatever where you're making you know,

381
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:23,759
like infinite more ev than the solver would do so

382
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:27,279
kind of being conscious about you know, the future game

383
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:29,880
and protecting my stack and just being in that seat

384
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,960
for the next hand, in the hand after is better

385
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,839
than trying to like maximize an edge and chase that

386
00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:38,799
last point one, you know. But yeah, just every spot's

387
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:41,039
just a new puzzle. I'm just trying to solve work

388
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:42,240
it out basically each one.

389
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 6: Is there anyone in this field right now that knows

390
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,599
more poker, has studied more, and is more ready for

391
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,119
this moment?

392
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't mean this from like

393
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,279
an egotistical point of view, like I've devoted a lot

394
00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:56,400
of my life to poker. I've sacrificed a lot.

395
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:57,559
Speaker 5: You know.

396
00:18:57,599 --> 00:19:00,039
Speaker 3: Maybe I know, maybe I know more about how to

397
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:01,799
play Jack nine in the cutoff, but maybe they know

398
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,559
more about some stuff which I wish I would know

399
00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:06,799
more of. You know, I understand that I've kind of,

400
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,519
you know, my life could have went in lots of

401
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:12,279
different directions, and I give a lot to it to poker,

402
00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:14,119
But that meant that I've kind of lacked in some

403
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,599
other areas too. And play in this tournament, you play

404
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,440
with people who have ten thousand dollars for a reason,

405
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,279
whether they be a teacher, whether they be you know,

406
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:25,240
working business, whether they own a restaurant, and they will

407
00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:27,119
often probe my mind about, oh, like should I have

408
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,920
done this or not? And I will often probe their

409
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,720
mind like, oh, you know, like how does insurance.

410
00:19:31,279 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 7: Work under this or whatever?

411
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: You know, And yeah, I think I'm I think I'm

412
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:40,200
very prepared for this spot, and yeah, I'm confident in that.

413
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:40,559
Speaker 4: Yeah.

414
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 6: Final question, how is it possible to still have fun

415
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,559
when the stakes are this high? There's so much adrenaline

416
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,319
and so much fatigue in this big moment.

417
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:52,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you have two directions. You can think about, Okay,

418
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:55,680
we're playing you know, like ten twenty thousand dollars blinds,

419
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,960
or you can just think, you know, I have like

420
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,839
thirty two big blinds and I'm supposed to do X,

421
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,480
Y or Z. You know, I've played a lot of

422
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,480
very high stakes torments online where it's gotten to the

423
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,160
crungender things and I've kind of crumbled, you know, I've

424
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,640
seen it as being too high. I haven't taken the spot,

425
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,680
and I don't want to spend today trying to live tomorrow.

426
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,799
You know, I don't want to think, Oh, I want

427
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:14,519
to make day seven.

428
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 7: I'm here right now.

429
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 3: I need to live now, I need to execute, I

430
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,039
need to do what I need to do. And that's

431
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:21,759
not always you know, like playing big because the stakes

432
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,279
because I don't want to be scared. Sometimes it is

433
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:26,240
being a little bit scared. Sometimes it is surviving. Sometimes

434
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:28,880
it is preservation, you know. And that's kind of the

435
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,920
beautiful thing about poker is that you have to wear

436
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,839
risk rewards the future of the now. And yeah, teachers

437
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,640
a lot about life, I think too, and it's the

438
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,279
beautiful game.

439
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 5: You know.

440
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: That was Pads always a pleasure to have Pads on

441
00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:48,759
the microphone, and he seems like he's just taking it

442
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,480
all in, having a blast with it off. You guys

443
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,400
follow Pads on social media. You know, he's just really

444
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,160
trying to live through this moment and you know, make

445
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,359
the best of this run. Edward Sacrist pair Stillan, Brian Larkin,

446
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Carlos Chata. You used to play a lot of high

447
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:09,319
Rollers and then I feel like he dipped out of

448
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,200
the high Rollers scene for a little while. But Carlo

449
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:18,960
is a very good player. Also, Tolga Karakaya, Archimedes Arenas, Berkeley, Yon,

450
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,359
John Lee Wang, Dennis Carlson, Ricardo Cermino, Michael o'connoran and

451
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,119
Dylan Smith. I'm gonna get to Dylan Smith, who is

452
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,160
one of the best all around poker players in the world,

453
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,920
but also a very very good Nolan Holden player. Believe

454
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,759
he won a WPT from Seminole not too long ago.

455
00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:45,240
Dylan Smith is one of those guys who has really

456
00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:48,440
stormed onto the scene in the recent three to five

457
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:52,880
years maybe, and one of the best. Can play all

458
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,559
the games and can play them extremely well. Is out

459
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,480
of Florida, or at least that's where he resides now.

460
00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:01,440
And another player who's always drafted in twenty five K

461
00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:05,680
fantasy also also has a bracelet, does Dylan Smith, which

462
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,079
I think he won earlier this year. Vladimir Belokov, Harturis

463
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:19,039
straskis a Rosher Vaziri, Ori Elou latches Are Petkov. Matt Lapasse.

464
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:22,279
Matt Lapasse is a name it sticks out to me.

465
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:25,640
I've covered him before or something, but been around a while.

466
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:31,279
Canadian player Henrik Turner, John Weiss, Jeff Weiss. I'm gonna

467
00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:34,839
guess no relation, but you never know. Aki hero Konishi,

468
00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:39,079
Thomas McDonald, David Kluckman. I should look up Kanishi as

469
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,960
we do Oka hero Kunisi because on the broadcast last night,

470
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:53,000
I think Nick Shulman was questioning if if they had

471
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,519
seen this guy before and if he had made a

472
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:56,599
deep run in the wsit being main event before I

473
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,160
looked it up. I don't see a deep run in

474
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,920
the main event from Nick was saying maybe last year.

475
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:05,799
But what he might be thinking of is Kanishi got

476
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:09,920
second place in the WSP Europe Main Event this year

477
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,480
in April for one point two million euros or one

478
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:19,000
point three a two million dollars. So Kanishi crushing this

479
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480
year with that run, that second place mentioned in the

480
00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:25,079
WSPORT main Event and now here Final sixty two of

481
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,720
the WSP Main Event. Thomas McDonald, David Kluckman, Marshall, Diigel,

482
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,599
Kanya Zang. She is the lone female remaining, but she

483
00:23:35,839 --> 00:23:40,920
is third to last in chips. Caid Lattenbacher Caid's out

484
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,839
of I think Michigan a very young kid. I have

485
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,599
played with him a bit in some events around town

486
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,119
at the win at Venetian, et cetera. He's he's very young.

487
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,960
He won a bracelet events I think online on through

488
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,880
the Michigan website, either a year or two ago. He's

489
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,799
the second sort of stack returning. Then Gregory Brown. Gregory

490
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:07,279
Brown is the short stack remaining. Gregory Brown is he

491
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,359
was on a Venetian streamer too that that Rimku and

492
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,079
I did coverage on. So yeah, so that's who we

493
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,519
got advancing to a day seven, and then just quickly

494
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:17,359
some of the players that we did lose on a

495
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,319
Day six. We lost Aaron Barone, dutch Boyd hit the raal,

496
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,039
Lauren Klein was bounced as well. There's gonna be some ramifications,

497
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:29,559
I guess from the tank that Lauren Klein was in.

498
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,519
I'm still at home, gonna be staying home today, but

499
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:35,920
I'm hearing that they're instituting shot clocks and that used

500
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,000
to be made event, which is absolutely bananas to me

501
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:41,039
to be able to do that for day seven. So

502
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:42,119
we'll see what comes of that.

503
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:42,519
Speaker 6: TJ.

504
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,759
Speaker 2: Reid went out, Ryan Miller went out. I mean, I

505
00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:48,599
think I'm pretty safe to say that I think Ryan

506
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,960
Miller might have made one of the worst folds in

507
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,519
WS to be made of industry, and that's probably gonna

508
00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:56,960
be one that's haunting him for quite some time. Free

509
00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:01,359
Jeteen also out. Jeremy Hyman to dance Da Villa. We

510
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,759
lost him as well. We lost Sewn Winter Shawn Winter

511
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:08,759
got very very short, ultimately busted with ACE six versus tens.

512
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,279
We lost Caitlyn Kameski, hit the rail, was that an

513
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:20,599
exisca and uh so Hedwala all busted out on day six.

514
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,839
So that's the pot, short and sweet. I gotta go

515
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,640
lay it back down before I die anymore. But sixty

516
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,319
two players remaining entering at day seven. Hopefully tonight I'll

517
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,200
be rested enough that I'll be able to get one

518
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,799
of these out on a more normal schedule. So thanks

519
00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:37,720
for bearing with me, guys. I'm a bit bummed that

520
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:40,240
I wasn't able to continue the trend of doing one

521
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:45,160
every single day, but hopefully we're back and uh that's it.

522
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:47,480
That's the pot. So my name is Donnie Peters and

523
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:49,160
I'll talk to you guys next time.

524
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:09,160
