1
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,760
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters, his name

3
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:20,320
is a rempco rink, and we have a new w

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,879
s P Main event champion.

5
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:24,559
Speaker 2: Sir Jude ju Jew.

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Is it? Uh? I gotta ask you you're there at

7
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:30,559
least on this show, because there's two of us, you're

8
00:00:30,559 --> 00:00:32,359
the expert on this. Is that the best us A

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,280
chant you've heard at the main event final table?

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,359
Speaker 2: I know you hate the us A USA.

11
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: I think I think as far as chance go, if

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,479
you're part of an American rail and you come up

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,920
with anything other than us A, you've gotta you gotta

14
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:47,200
like gold medal.

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,399
Speaker 2: In my book.

16
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: Well, the juke Ju Juke Molan was very very good.

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,920
Luky Poky was also very good. They were chanting, uh,

18
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:01,159
Spokane Red Cross because of the wildfires that are going

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,399
on in Spokane, Washington, where he's from at one point too,

20
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:06,640
so a nod to the people there. Hope everyone is safe.

21
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:10,799
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, the vibes today incredible, were absolutely incredible.

22
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,599
I will say that, you know, recency bias and all

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,599
taken into consideration, this was one of the most electric

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,319
final tables that I can remember, especially with the way

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,120
it all played out. And we'll get into the hands

26
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:27,879
later on. But after a slow start on day one

27
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:30,920
of the final tables, Days two and three were simply

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,040
must watch TV. And I think that poker really delivered

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,079
for itself.

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,239
Speaker 1: After day one. And it obviously, you know, we know

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,159
and the listeners know that things can change in one hand,

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,439
and you know it can be an entire different dynamic

33
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:50,640
of viewing experience, etc. But I'd be lying if I said,

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,040
you know, I don't know about this final table coming

35
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:55,159
out of day one. It's not that I didn't enjoy it,

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,519
you know, but I was just trying to think bigger picture,

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,480
how's this going to play to the mass? And I

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,879
was a little bit worried, right but Day two did

39
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:10,000
the most abrupt one eighty in the most perfect sense

40
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,879
that it could ever have done. Honestly, I maybe I

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,800
need to get more in the back room or something

42
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,599
and be like, did you tell them to script this?

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,960
What the hell is going on? Because Day two was

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240
electric and then day three here we talked about it

45
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:26,919
on the last episode. These guys do not play small pots.

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,080
They don't want to do that. And the first couple

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,680
hands seemed tame for their standards. Then all of a sudden,

48
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:37,680
we look over, there's forty million in the pot. There's

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,240
a hand with sixty million in the pot, And it

50
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,319
was like, here we go between Lori Sascolotti and Lucas Jumalan.

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,919
Jumalan coming out on top winning ten million dollars, Sascolotti

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,639
taking home six million dollars. I gotta say, I know

53
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:56,680
Jumalan won the tournament. Sascolotti needs to hold his head high.

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,719
He put on a freaking show. He showed out. He's

55
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:01,759
got six million dollars in the bank. Now, I hope

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,199
we see a lot more of this guy too.

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,599
Speaker 3: I think that we have some specific hands to get into.

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,159
But I just want to mention, you know, obviously coming

59
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:11,840
off of the Miss Rocky year and him given the

60
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:15,560
shuffle up and deal, the Miss Rocky final table was

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,400
such a steam roll and ending in seventy nine hands

62
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,360
that in hindsight, he like want it too fast and

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,159
too quickly for us to really fully digest how incredible

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,400
his run was.

65
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:30,319
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what happened, no.

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: Because it was like every single day was like, oh,

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,240
they played for fifteen minutes, they played for thirty minutes,

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,599
and they played for an hour and it was over

69
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,800
and Miss Rocky won every hand. So the star power

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,439
that we had last year with Leo Marguetz, Adam Hendrix,

71
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,719
Kenny Hollard and Michael Miss Rocky was you know, like

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,280
leaps and bounds ahead of this current lineup. But this

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,879
current lineup on days two and three delivered in a

74
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:59,639
way that it created attention electricity that really made it unforgettable.

75
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:01,919
And that is not something I thought that I would

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,199
say coming into the Final Table. And I think that

77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Jumalan in particular really showed up and delivered in the

78
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,439
way that we were hoping for, not only through his

79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,120
play but also through his personality, through sort of the

80
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,560
soft nature of the way that he spoke the segments

81
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,439
that were on the broadcast. Shout out to AMA Production,

82
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:26,120
Shout out at ESPN for doing what they did. And

83
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:29,399
I think this thing was the whole package, and I

84
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,839
think that it's a Final Table that I won't forget

85
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,399
very quickly.

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. The final day,

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,720
the day three of three for the Final Table itself,

88
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,519
was a bit hectic being here, so I am excited

89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,000
to go watch the full broadcast because we were running

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,439
out to the floor quite a bit. They played sixteen

91
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,279
or seventeen hands on this final day. There's a lot

92
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:55,000
of big ones to get into. And just to set

93
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,360
the stage for this, first hand that I want to

94
00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:00,399
hit on was Jumalan comes out of the gate. They

95
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,480
start play today. It's three hundred and twenty eight million

96
00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:06,000
for Jumalan, it's two hundred and twenty five million for Sascolotti,

97
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:09,319
so about one point five to one right thereabouts, but

98
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:13,040
very deep seventy five big lines effective for Sascolotti's stack,

99
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,560
and right out of the gate, Jumalan starts his building

100
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,040
and it wasn't really anything big for the first couple hands.

101
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,759
It was just, you know, a couple million here, a

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,040
couple million there, and he's stretching it out, stretching it out,

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,959
stretching it out. But then hand number one sixty two,

104
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,079
Sascolotti runs a big bluff with the Queen nine. Jumalan

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,279
picks him off with what was ultimately two pair ace

106
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,079
ten to seven King Ace. Jumalan had ten to five

107
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,879
called a big bet on the end, Sascolotti, I mean,

108
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,439
this is kind of this guy's mo like he's gonna

109
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,160
swing for the fences. But you know, we saw it

110
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:51,600
when he eliminated Greg Muller for example, he can swing

111
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:53,399
for the fences when he has a value hand.

112
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: He's he's a.

113
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Very polar type of player. That's his style, and he

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,680
went for it here. Jumalan was strong to the test

115
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:02,319
and ended up picking it off.

116
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,439
Speaker 3: And also let's point out here two Jumalan called almost instantly.

117
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was a quick call.

118
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:07,959
Speaker 2: I mean it was.

119
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,439
Speaker 1: I think it was a bad River card when the

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,319
River pairs like this. Also, you know, it might be

121
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,160
one of those things where it's it's the prep work

122
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,800
right right, you probably Jumalan specifically. I don't know about Sascolatti,

123
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,480
and I'm sure he did his own review maybe heck,

124
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:23,040
maybe he didn't.

125
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:23,439
Speaker 2: I don't know.

126
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: But Jumalan, like there was stuff on social media. You

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,319
saw multiple photos. He's working with pads every single night,

128
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,079
Like even today before the final table. There was a

129
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,560
photo that I saw and it was today because Jumalan

130
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:36,120
was wearing the same thing that he was wearing today

131
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,839
when he showed up, Like they're in a hotel room somewhere,

132
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,439
chips around the table, grinding out hands. I talked to

133
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,360
one of his railbirds afterwards. He said that they went

134
00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:48,000
through they were going through all the footage every single night,

135
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,360
a group of them, and then sending them all the notes,

136
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,639
so handnotes, possible physical tel notes, bet sizing notes, all

137
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,759
that sort of stuff. So Jumalan is just ingesting, ingesting, ingesting,

138
00:06:57,959 --> 00:06:59,879
So maybe there's something there that he was like, you

139
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:01,879
know what, this guy's going to go for it. And

140
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,720
I would say that personally if I was coming into

141
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:06,319
this match and I was Jumalan, I would say, this

142
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,399
guy's probably gonna go for it early, and I have

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000
to be prepared to click call. That's just again, that's

144
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,279
Sascolotti's style, right, and he went for it. Here he

145
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,639
gets picked off. It's four hundred and eighteen million, then

146
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,279
for Jumalan, it's one hundred and thirty five million for Sascolatti,

147
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,160
and we're starting to think, okay, like this might be

148
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,439
over quicker than we expected. But then we get a

149
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:31,920
big all in a few hands later when it's Sascolotti

150
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:34,319
has the best of it with the ACE ten versus

151
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,720
the ACE nine for Jumalan. Sascolotti like, I don't know

152
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,560
if you saw the did you see the broadcast of

153
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,639
this hand, Yes, I did. When he kind of turned

154
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,199
to his rail, and I think he said something in

155
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:45,720
finish almost like but it.

156
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: Was kind of like two words and I, you know,

157
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,199
I'm just going to go assume here, but I think

158
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,519
he said something along the lines of like I think

159
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:54,279
this is it, like yeah, you know, like I'm gonna

160
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:56,240
call a call, like something along those lines. And I

161
00:07:56,279 --> 00:07:58,560
think on the broadcast they even refer to it as like,

162
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,040
you know, he's letting the real know that this is

163
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,519
gonna this is gonna happen, and uh yeah, I think

164
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,000
his exact words were I think it's time to double up.

165
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,759
And then he went for it and this showdown. You know,

166
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,240
we were standing there, you know, a few feet away

167
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,920
from the table. We were telling each other like this

168
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,120
is perfect for TV. The way this this this ran out,

169
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:22,920
and you know, shout out to Mories Candani, who's who basically,

170
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,839
you know, called the turn card, because that's what you do.

171
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,240
You know, when you're making a TV show and you're

172
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,480
on the rail, you call for the perfect card, and

173
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:32,559
in this case, the nine and diamonds on the Turn

174
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:37,000
was the perfect card, giving Jumalan the lead put putting

175
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,559
him one card away from the wind, but also then

176
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,840
opening the door to a flush for Sus Suscalati and

177
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:46,200
that came in on the river and the the celebration

178
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:49,480
of the Finn was reminiscent of when he cracked aces

179
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:53,759
last night. Yes, and it sort of showed me that

180
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,440
sort of spirit that I think was sort of really

181
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,440
carrying him, and I I had the feeling at that

182
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:02,039
point like, oh man, here comes Ascalotta. Now he is

183
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,840
so fired up, he's gonna do something good. And you

184
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,399
had in this hand. When that nine hit the turn,

185
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,159
Jumalan didn't celebrate, but he was up against his rail.

186
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,960
I think big Red Hayden hedlind With had his arms

187
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,559
around him. The rail exploded, absolutely freaking exploded. Of course

188
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:21,879
they're happy for their guy.

189
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: He's still in the moment, he still knows he's got

190
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,320
a fade of ten, he's got a fade a queen,

191
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,080
he's got a fade diamond. And then I think that

192
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:34,240
their celebration probably gave a little bit extra for Sasclotti

193
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:38,200
to celebrate, because he celebrated kind of two different ways.

194
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,200
One he did the little kind of gunpoint thing, fist

195
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,879
pump thing to his rail, but then he turned around

196
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:44,639
and did it to them.

197
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:45,519
Speaker 2: It was like eye content.

198
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: It was like I'm he looked right at them like

199
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,559
like I'm still here, you know, like I'm still here.

200
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,919
Don't forget about me, And they were almost dead. Even

201
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:54,720
after this, it was Jumalan still had the lead two

202
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,480
hundred and eighty seven million, but now Sasclotti up to

203
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,639
two hundred and sixty six, and I'm just like, oh shit,

204
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:00,879
well you we got a ball game.

205
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: Well, the beauty of this moment was as we're as

206
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:07,200
you and I obviously have our badge privileges, so we're

207
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,240
we're as close to the action as you can get

208
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360
without being at the table, which is obviously something that

209
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:15,799
I still I still very much understand that it's a

210
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,440
privilege to be in that position. But one of the

211
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,320
things that you and I immediately said after this hand

212
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,159
happened was it won't be long before they play on

213
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:25,320
our big pot. Of course, because both of both of

214
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,240
these guys have a let foot, and that was evident

215
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:32,960
by the very next hands, literally the very next hand.

216
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, so hand number one sixty six of the final

217
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,759
table was that double up that I just went through

218
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,960
hand number one sixty seven. We get another banger and

219
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,080
this is this is this hand was awesome. It wasn't

220
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,000
a big like all in and calm, pre flopped clash

221
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,320
type of moment. There was multiple streets of betting. I mean,

222
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,759
you had to wake up the photographers.

223
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: I did.

224
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,519
Speaker 1: It's one of those hands where it's it's playing out

225
00:10:57,519 --> 00:10:58,919
and you and I are still out there, of course

226
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,320
because of what happened. And flanking the stage there's two

227
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:05,559
giant monitors and you can see what's going on, and

228
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,000
we can see them putting in big bets and we're like, oh,

229
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,960
this is a big bet. And at one point I

230
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,799
was like, I said to you something about the turn

231
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:14,279
bet size and you're like, oh, it's an over bet,

232
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:15,480
and I was like, oh, it is an over bet.

233
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:16,759
And then that's when I was like, I gotta go

234
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:19,399
get them, because this is one of those spots where

235
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,679
it's quiet and it doesn't have the big loud roars

236
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,240
and the sweating and all of that, but you can

237
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,080
maybe you're not looking at the TV screen because you're

238
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,279
buried in some work or whatever. The hand is. Jumalan raises,

239
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,080
Min raises the button with Queen five. Queen of Spades

240
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:36,519
need to point out, I's got Queen five off. Sasclotti

241
00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:39,159
calls with jack three of diamonds. It comes Ace King

242
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,320
four two spades, Ace King of spades. Check from Sasclotti.

243
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,039
Bet of four million and a call. Turn is the

244
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:51,639
Jack of spades. We get a check from Sasclotti. We

245
00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:55,679
get a bet of forty million, which is two x

246
00:11:55,759 --> 00:11:59,120
pot on the turn from Jumalan. Not the first time

247
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:01,639
he over bet today, not the first time he overbet

248
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,799
at the final table, but over bet here two xpot.

249
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:08,720
Sascalotti takes a bit, calls River is the six of spades,

250
00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:12,279
so it runs out four spades check. Jumalan takes a

251
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:13,399
bit of time, and you and I are kind of

252
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,000
talking to each other on the side, and I was like,

253
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,080
I don't know if he's gonna bet, but he wants

254
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:20,039
to bet, wants to go for it here.

255
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: And the thing too that I completely misread in hindsight

256
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,480
seeing the cards was the fact that when Jumalan bet

257
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:29,360
one hundred and eighty million, which once again was an

258
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:33,679
over bet, my first thought was, Sascalotti is very strong here,

259
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,720
but he has no spades. That was my read on

260
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:37,720
the situation, just because of the way that he was

261
00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:39,720
tanking and the way that he was sort of trying

262
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,799
to almost talk himself into making the call because he

263
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:45,159
knew that Jumalan would have lots of bluffs there too.

264
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:47,960
And then when I saw it on the broadcast, my

265
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,519
jaw dropped because his hand was so much weaker than

266
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,159
I anticipated. But Donnie, you you saw the tweet from

267
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:58,120
Scott's Sever, the almost Hall of Famer Scott's Sever where

268
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,039
he basically should be should hall of famer, there will

269
00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:04,159
be Hall of Famer Scott Sever who put it in

270
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:07,120
a in a very clever Scott sever type way.

271
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he said, I will just say about he

272
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:11,720
said that final hand, but I think he meant that

273
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:14,120
final hand that just played out. If the river isn't

274
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:17,679
another spade, there's probably a different main event champion, and

275
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:20,320
people call it the best call in main event history.

276
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,039
Funny how poker can work like that. So let's all

277
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,720
just remember that in this moment, there was one hundred

278
00:13:25,759 --> 00:13:30,039
million in the pot on the river. Jummelan doesn't say

279
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:32,559
all in. He says one hundred and eighty million, okay,

280
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:35,279
which if Sosclotti calls, he's left himself with a little

281
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:38,080
bit over thirty million left, so not out, but he

282
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,960
he tanks and tanks and tanks, and at one point

283
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:44,720
he said what you said on Twitter, the most finished

284
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:46,480
thing that you could say in the moment, which was

285
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080
to hero or not to hear it exactly exactly. I mean,

286
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,480
he Soscallotti has been as cool as a cucumber the

287
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,440
entire run. This was the moment where he was kind

288
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,159
of like he was all over in his chair looking

289
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,759
at Israel, kind of trying to say stuff to Jumalan,

290
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,000
like it looked like he wanted to call, but it

291
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:08,519
also was like you could tell he probably didn't have

292
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,159
a spade, even if it was like, let's say the

293
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,279
deuce of spade, just because he wanted to hero. And

294
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,759
this goes back to the point I was making last

295
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,559
last episode where he wants to do it in style.

296
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,240
Oh yeah, like he he's like if I he's probably thinking,

297
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,000
if I make this call on, I'm right, And this

298
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:26,360
guy's just gets got five six hearts, like I'm a

299
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,799
freaking genius, Like I'm the greatest player in the universe.

300
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:29,039
Speaker 2: Right.

301
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: But the thing too that we can easily overlook is

302
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,399
the fact that if if anyone in the history of

303
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:38,200
of main event has up matches, has it in him

304
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,000
to bluff that river in that way, it's probably Jumalan,

305
00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:43,679
like he has shown time and time again.

306
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: Then it was power jam over bet he's got pads

307
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,600
in his corner. I mean, I mean, I feel like

308
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:53,519
he's waiting to pull out the power jam. At some

309
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:59,360
pointlon So Sasclotti eventually calls Jumlan immediately he like he

310
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,879
like looked at is rail before he was like turning

311
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:03,519
his cards over at the same time when he looked

312
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:05,360
at his rail and like said something which he did

313
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:07,200
often throughout the finals, that where he's like, we got it,

314
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,120
we got it, like and he tables the nuts and

315
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:13,759
his rail goes crazy. That was an incredible moment, right

316
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:16,639
because Sasclotti is now left with what was less than

317
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:19,679
ten big blinds. He's got eight and a half big linds. Yeah,

318
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,120
so and in that moment, it's like, man, like the

319
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,360
kid's really gonna do it. You might have thought for

320
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:29,879
a second coming off the hand number one sixty six

321
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,600
when he drills the nine, but then the flush comes

322
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,200
in for Sasclotti, they're just about even, like I I

323
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,399
can just imagine how you're feeling. One you get it

324
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,919
in behind, you're probably feeling like, whatever, Okay, I kind

325
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:45,639
of screwed Maybe not that you screwed it up, but

326
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:47,320
it's like, really, it's gonna come down because I'm gonna

327
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,759
double them up, just good hand versus better hand. But

328
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:51,919
then you hit that nine and you're like, oh my god,

329
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,279
they're saving me. But then you get you get resucked

330
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,240
out on it, and you're like, shit, god, damn it.

331
00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:59,399
So like but listen, he did keep his composure. He

332
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,840
sat right back down. He was ready to play in

333
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,440
the next hand. And yeah, it was just it wasn't

334
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,600
many hands played today, but it was electric.

335
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: You said they played sixteen hands. To me, it felt

336
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,759
like they played like forty five hands true, like the

337
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,519
over hands and stuff. You know.

338
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, every hand was also intense. A lot was happening.

339
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: And then, of course, uh, the very next hand after

340
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:35,120
he lost a big pot, wins one with as King.

341
00:16:35,159 --> 00:16:36,879
And then we get to the final hand of the

342
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,080
of the tournament, the final hand of the Worldstairs Pocal

343
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,480
Main Events, where Juamlong goes all in on the button.

344
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,120
Suscott makes the call from the big blind. We got

345
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,039
a seven for the all in player versus King. Six,

346
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:53,200
we got suits dominated by Suscalati. We got ace of spades,

347
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,279
seven of diamonds, and then on the flop right away

348
00:16:57,679 --> 00:16:59,879
the six hits and the same way we saw in

349
00:16:59,919 --> 00:17:02,600
the previous all in no reaction from Djumalan, but his

350
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,880
rail again going absolutely mental, and then the six on

351
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,400
a turn to seal it and no river card needed, no,

352
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,519
no river cart necessary, no ever, No one will ever

353
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:16,759
remember what that river card was, because I it was.

354
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:19,759
It was pandemonium. The four diamonds completed the board. We

355
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,960
posted a video on the Poke Code Twitter page, also

356
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,359
on our Instagram channel. Donnie, you were filming Susclotti. I

357
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,720
was filming Jumalan to have sort of a side by

358
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:31,519
side of the emotions of the moment, and it was

359
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,960
just great to see how uh Susclotti's first thought was

360
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,319
to go over to Jumalan congratulate him. They they had,

361
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,319
they had a warm embrace and uh, you know Jimalan,

362
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,319
of course, you know, full of emotion, tears streaming down

363
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:46,880
his face, hugging Israel went over to Jumalan's rail as well,

364
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,400
sorry to Susclati's rail as well, and shook hands with

365
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,359
every single person on the rail. On on on his

366
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,160
opponent's side, which is just a beautiful thing to see.

367
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,640
And then later we saw uh Suscloti do the same thing,

368
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,000
went over to Jumalan's dad to congratulate him, and yeah,

369
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:05,359
this this just seems like one of those moments where

370
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,799
these guys are forever linked in life through the shared

371
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:11,720
experience of going heads up in the world for his

372
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:13,440
book of main event to play for ten million dollars

373
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,599
and Jumlan ultimately the one who comes out on top.

374
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:20,400
Funny little side note, I think it almost broke his

375
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:23,240
back as he was celebrated, going to choke him out

376
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:26,359
or something. He was standing with his back towards the

377
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,480
rail and when he won, they basically like pulled him

378
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,039
towards the rail and by like his neck, his neck

379
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,440
goes back and then you could see that he was

380
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:38,519
visibly suffering. And then as they let go, he turned

381
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:41,119
around and he had a giant like red mark on

382
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,319
his back from the rail imprinted in his back, so

383
00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:48,839
a little tattoo to remember this moment. But just just

384
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,880
the emotions, just everything about this moment, this this tournament,

385
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,160
this event, like this stage, the lights, everything just you know,

386
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,799
spectacular and yeah, wonderful.

387
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: See.

388
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: It was a crazy ending to a really really really

389
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,079
fun doubissip main event, a fun final table. I know

390
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,799
it did start slow, but I would much rather have

391
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:15,680
it start slow than finish slow. And it finished going

392
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,839
one hundred and eighty five miles an hour on day

393
00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:22,359
two of the final table and day three just absolutely

394
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,599
out of control. I think Jumalan himself is going to

395
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,240
be quite awesome for the game. I think the kid

396
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:32,440
has his head on straight, which you know, I mean

397
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,240
we were all young, right, I mean we're all old

398
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,640
and withered now, but we were all twenty two once too, right.

399
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:41,160
He seems like he's he's dialed into to do it

400
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:41,759
the right way.

401
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,039
Speaker 2: Now.

402
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,079
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I think he's going to like disappear

403
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:46,200
from Poke Ride. I don't think he's going to do

404
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,160
that at all. You know, I would expect him to

405
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,759
be out there battling in something I'll say within two

406
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:54,119
weeks for sure. Like, I just think he's that type

407
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,960
of kid the studio is calling, baby, the studio is

408
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,519
calling I mean masters. Well before that, I mean, isn't

409
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,079
it kind of a tradition that you go to high

410
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,200
stakes poker. We have that coming up in August.

411
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,079
Speaker 2: Please, you know, like bred Hanks get on the phone.

412
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, we gotta, we gotta make it happen.

413
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: I mean, both you and I have talked with Lucas.

414
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,559
Speaker 1: Maybe we can we can hit him up, Like, hey, buddy,

415
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:14,400
you know this is the spot so it's only it's

416
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,680
a hunter came in. You know you can you just

417
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,359
one ten million?

418
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,319
Speaker 3: I mean come on, that's one hundred thousand might need

419
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,160
from tax right off anyway, so like you have a

420
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,559
chance to become friends with with with Andrew Robel probably

421
00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:24,680
you know that's worth it alone.

422
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, sit at the table, so spin it up.

423
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:29,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I also don't think he's gonna he

424
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:31,279
would ever show up to Hightakes Poker and just like

425
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,480
laid his money on fire.

426
00:20:32,279 --> 00:20:34,839
Speaker 3: Either, I mean, with with the confidence he has right now,

427
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,240
he's coming in there to like take all the money.

428
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: I would, for lack of a better term, press my luck.

429
00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:44,960
Because you're on this high the spotlight is one hundred

430
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,480
percent on you, yep, like just take everything that comes

431
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240
your way. So yes, maybe that that involves taking a

432
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,359
shot on a show like High Stakes Poker or playing

433
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,079
some of the upcoming Poker Masters events. That are pretty big,

434
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,079
super high rollable Triton stops whatever. But you know, strike

435
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,599
while the iron is hot. You can always reduce your

436
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,400
variants by selling action. I'm sure everyone left, right and

437
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,519
center will be wanting to buy some action of the

438
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,160
w CITB Main Event Champ. And I'm sure there's probably

439
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,160
some offers out there too to you know, maybe get

440
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,680
free hotel rooms, travel, rake reductions, whatever it is. Because

441
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,880
you are the ws BE Main Event Champ, so you know,

442
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:24,079
definitely go take advantage of those things if you can.

443
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,319
And I honestly think that Lucas will. I think he

444
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:28,279
We've talked about this already, but I think he wants

445
00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:31,920
the spotlight, so I'm happy to see that. And afterwards,

446
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,640
it took a while, but I finally did get to

447
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,759
talk to him, So we'll play that interview for you now.

448
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,000
As expected, it's always hard right afterwards. I guess I

449
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:41,400
just kind of want to tee this up because it

450
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,200
does sound like he's at a loss of words or

451
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:48,000
lack of words, which is understandable because when you're in

452
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:50,880
such a big moment like this, on one side of things,

453
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,400
it probably hasn't fully sunk in. I get it. On

454
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,680
the other side of things, when you are rushing in

455
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,200
a poker tournament and then all of a sudden that

456
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,720
poker tournament is over. Oh yeah, you get an adrenaline

457
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:05,880
dump like you have probably never experienced ever in your life.

458
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:10,240
And it's like, honestly, it's like a come down from

459
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:12,759
being on fucking Molly, is what it's like. Okay, And

460
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:14,960
if you ever experienced that, you know exactly what I'm

461
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,839
talking about. And you can't really formulate words and sentences

462
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:22,359
and talk correctly. It's just that that's just how it is,

463
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,720
because it just all dumps from your body because your

464
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,799
body finally recognizes that it's over. Job's finished. So anyway,

465
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,599
Lucas Jumalan here he is the w SP main event champ.

466
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:38,039
All right, Lucas, it's the moments after. I mean, just

467
00:22:38,039 --> 00:22:39,759
just talk to me about what this means to you.

468
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it just it means so much.

469
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 5: And I really don't have don't have many words for you,

470
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:47,400
because like I don't think it's like really set in yet,

471
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,640
and it might not for a couple of days.

472
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 4: But I'm just so thankful and so blessed.

473
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: And I heard you were a guy who's big on

474
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,960
visualized visualization. Is this what you visualize happening?

475
00:22:57,079 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

476
00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 5: I mean, like I told somebody on day one, I

477
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:03,200
had five thousand chips at a five hundred big blind,

478
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,559
so like ten bigs. I was like, I just like

479
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:10,119
had this calmness and like like feeling that it's gonna

480
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,599
be okay. Like and there was a couple of points

481
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:15,039
in the tournament where like you know, under ten bigs,

482
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,359
right at ten bigs, uh, you know, I just never

483
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,519
gave up and just was there was like this feeling

484
00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:24,839
of peace and calmness, and and I think it's I

485
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,759
think the visualization certainly is part of that.

486
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: How are you able to stay so peaceful, so calm

487
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,519
even though you're on your way to winning the main

488
00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:33,799
event of winning ten million dollars?

489
00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:35,759
Speaker 5: You know, I see so many people like freak out

490
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:38,200
and u and kind of blow up in these spots,

491
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,160
But like I think I've always been I've just always

492
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,839
been like this sounds a little bit cocky, but I'm

493
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,599
not trying to come.

494
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: Off like that.

495
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: But it's always been like a little bit different. And

496
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,920
I haven't felt the pressure, you know, Like I didn't

497
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,359
feel the pressure like even heads up, like I slept

498
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,000
pretty good, like like all the days, like you know,

499
00:23:55,079 --> 00:23:57,880
like I just I don't know. I can't really explain.

500
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: It to you. Not even an ounce of pressure when

501
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:01,079
he doubled up and then.

502
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 5: Oh no, I mean you saw me sit right back down.

503
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,720
I was ready to go back to work, like like

504
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,680
there it was. It was nothing. It was nothing but

505
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,000
a thing.

506
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: And you know, like we're just ready to go back

507
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:10,279
to work.

508
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: So do you feel like that's how you've approached your

509
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,160
whole career or is that something that was more unlocked

510
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:15,839
during this run?

511
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,079
Speaker 3: Oh?

512
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 5: I mean it was something I learned over, like over

513
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,680
the years and over the over the hardships and like

514
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,359
over the struggles through tournament poker. You know, like you're

515
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,160
just never you're never out of a tournament, and you

516
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,559
gotta realize that you gotta value those chips, like like

517
00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:31,279
if you have life, you have life.

518
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: And you can win the tournament.

519
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,599
Speaker 1: So talk to me about the support system, your family,

520
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,440
your friends just here with you the whole way.

521
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,799
Speaker 4: What does that mean? I haven't had an answer for

522
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,599
anybody on this question. I just like it.

523
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,319
Speaker 5: I'm just so blessed and so thankful to have everybody

524
00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:47,720
around and you know, I can't can't wait to take

525
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:50,720
them out to a nice dinner and and have some fun.

526
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,599
Speaker 1: Being on this side of things. It seemed it felt

527
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,359
refreshing to hear you constantly talk about how you want

528
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,680
everything that comes with winning the main event. You know,

529
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,559
you're ready to go on and not really end your

530
00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:04,279
story here, but start your story here. Like what does

531
00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:04,920
that will mean?

532
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: The carrying the torch aspect.

533
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:06,839
Speaker 1: Of it all?

534
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think this is so important.

535
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, like I really am ready to be

536
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:15,400
like ambassador of the game, and you know, like give

537
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,440
give some of the young kids hope that they can

538
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,519
that they can come do this.

539
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 4: I mean, like it's it's possible.

540
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,039
Speaker 5: With enough work and you gotta you gotta get a

541
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,039
little bit battle tested, but you know it's possible.

542
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 4: Like you really can't do anything this game.

543
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 5: This game brings you so much, Like I'm so thankful

544
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,440
for this game, so I would love to give back.

545
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: When are we going to see you next?

546
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 5: I haven't decided that yet, but it might not be

547
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,160
as long as you guys might be thinking.

548
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: So we'll see you, heard Lucas there he said, I'm

549
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,640
going to be seeing you guys soon. Oh, like he's

550
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,160
the kids ready. Honestly, if there was a dov SP tournaments,

551
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,440
while he'd probably be in the damn thing.

552
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: I think that him winning this isn't as much of

553
00:25:56,519 --> 00:25:58,519
a factor in.

554
00:25:58,559 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: The way that I think this guy's alive.

555
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 3: Like, I think that if he hadn't won the main

556
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,240
and finished like third, fourth or fourth or fifth, he

557
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,759
would have still been a lifer. Just his his energy,

558
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:09,319
his attitude, his willingness, and his eagerness to be an

559
00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:11,880
ambassador of the game just shows to me that we're

560
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,480
dealing with the with the special guy, and I think

561
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:18,680
the poker can only be grateful when those characters roll around.

562
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,920
And I just also want to emphasize the fact that

563
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,960
when you win the main event, you don't have to

564
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,839
be an ambassador. You don't have to, you know, preach,

565
00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:30,079
preach the good, good word of poker. But if you do,

566
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,920
you know, more power to you because it is something

567
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,279
that definitely benefits the game of poker. And Jumlan, you know,

568
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,720
his has has the right personality and the right mentality.

569
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:43,519
And yeah, speaking speaking of hearing and seeing him soon,

570
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,119
he pressed me to be on the Faias podcast, so

571
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,519
I told him we'll make it happen, we'll have you on.

572
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,839
But now, of course we have got to have him

573
00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:58,440
on as soon as possible, and I can't wait to hear.

574
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,400
I can't wait to hear the story from the moment

575
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,720
that the broadcast ended until he hit his pillow tonight,

576
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,680
and I think that's gonna be a pretty epic one.

577
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm very excited coming out of it to see where

578
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,920
the kid goes. You know, I think we've seen some

579
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:19,640
champions in past years where we've kind of known what's

580
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,920
to come, Like I think with Dan Weinman, for example.

581
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,039
You know, he was kind of already one foot out

582
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:29,440
of poker anyway, so him winning allowed him to be

583
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,160
a little bit way more out of poker, and now

584
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,640
he only pops out here play the main couple other events,

585
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,680
and that's that. Michael Mroky, you know, he's going to

586
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:40,359
kind of always be around poker, you know. So I

587
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,640
feel like we kind of know his story and the

588
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,640
next chapters in it. Not to take anything away from

589
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,559
those guys, I'm just you know, I'm just saying that

590
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,079
I kind of knew where those stories would be headed.

591
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,319
Where I don't know where Lucas Jumalan's story is going.

592
00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:54,960
I think it's going to be a story that has

593
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,680
continued to fulfill poker and he's gonna be in the game,

594
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,200
he's gonna be around, he's gonna be pla. I'm just

595
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,480
excited to see that all play out right, And he's

596
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:06,680
so young, he's got such a long career ahead of him,

597
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,240
and now he's got freaking ten million dollars in the bank.

598
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:14,599
And then overall, I think, really awesome finish to a

599
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,240
really awesome events. I agree, I think it was. It

600
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:18,839
was perfect.

601
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, credit to everyone involves, you know, from from like this,

602
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:27,599
the stage builder's production crew, you know pokon News Live

603
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,920
reporting for always keeping us dialed, the stories we read

604
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,480
on you know, poker dot org. The amazing photography, once again,

605
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:39,920
shouted Luther. Shoutout Antonio Charada, Enrique. I think that between

606
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,960
everyone that shows up every single day for this event,

607
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,480
I know that you know, we're collecting paychecks, but we're

608
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,000
also here because we're passionate about the game. And you

609
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:51,000
don't you don't you know, you don't work in this

610
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:55,359
industry if you don't care about it, because it takes

611
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:57,960
a special kind of person to to buy into the

612
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,039
magic of what this is and what it represents for us.

613
00:29:01,119 --> 00:29:02,559
And at the end of the day, you know, we're

614
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:05,200
we're talking about a silly card game, but there's so

615
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:08,160
much more to it and it generates so much more

616
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,079
in emotion with people that I feel forever fortunate that

617
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,519
this is, you know, part of my life. And yeah,

618
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:16,839
this was a good one.

619
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: I know we have to be done with this for

620
00:29:20,319 --> 00:29:23,400
a while. But whenever these things end, and whenever the

621
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,160
WSP Main Event comes to an end, and it's it's

622
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,039
a bit more heightened given how epic the finish to

623
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:33,279
this tournament was. I'm always just ready to start the

624
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,519
next one because I want to see what the next

625
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:40,160
year brings and if the momentum coming off of this

626
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,880
right now can continue into next year. You know, we're

627
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,599
going to have to wait eleven months or whatever it

628
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,240
is for that to happen again. But I do hope that,

629
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,200
you know, we can catch some of the lightning in

630
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,720
a bottle that I think we caught with this WSP

631
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:58,759
Main Event and we can just continue on through you know,

632
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:04,000
the w he is back on ESPN, and ultimately we'll

633
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,319
see where that heads. I guess it'll be a little

634
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:08,960
bit worrisome if it doesn't get the legs that I'm

635
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,279
hoping that it will, just because this was like, you

636
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:13,599
could not have put out a better product, a better

637
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,200
from an entertainment standpoint, that was seen. But end of

638
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,759
the day, I think poker's healthy. I don't think poker's

639
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:22,880
going anywhere. I think Lucas Jumlan is going to do

640
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,799
a great job carrying the torch, you know, being that

641
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,759
poker ambassador. Again, I've said it before, I'll say it again.

642
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:30,799
I think the kid wants to smoke in that regard,

643
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,400
So we'll see what he brings to the table. Whether

644
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,880
or not he runs good or bad. I don't think

645
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,319
it really matters, because when you win ten million dollars,

646
00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:39,960
you have enough money to just keep showing up every

647
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,000
single day. And that's what I expect out of him,

648
00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:44,240
is to keep showing up and we'll see where it

649
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:47,119
goes from here. But as I said, open invite on

650
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,440
High Stakes Poker, buddy, let's go.

651
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do we have coming up? When can we

652
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,079
get back into studio?

653
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Pretty soon? At least I hope so pretty soon during

654
00:30:56,279 --> 00:31:00,559
August we'll be filming and live streaming the next season

655
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:04,720
of High Stakes Poker. Then September rolls around. We're gonna

656
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,839
be getting into the PGT coming back with pgg PLO series.

657
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,920
We got Super High Roller will PLO we have Super

658
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,359
High Roller Bowl. I mean, heck, maybe we'll see Lucas

659
00:31:13,359 --> 00:31:17,519
in those two tournaments. I don't know, you know, maybe

660
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,640
maybe we'll see Lori Sasclotti in the PLoud Supermasters.

661
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,240
