Once again, that link is plomastermind 65 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.400 dot com, slash poker Go in the WSP millionaire maker 66 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.280 that wrapped up on Wednesday, Joseph Liberta. He came into 67 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.800 the final table third in chips. He ends up coming 68 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.159 out on top, topping a field of almost twelve thousand 69 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.360 entries eleven seven hundred and sixty nine entries to be exact, 70 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:10.560 Liberta winning a career best one point two five million dollars, 71 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.520 his first bracelet. He's a longtime pro player out of 72 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.279 New Jersey. He's got live cash. Is that day back 73 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.879 to two thoy and eleven If I'm looking at his 74 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.160 hand him up profile correctly, this is also his first 75 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.720 seven figure score. It's by far the largest score of 76 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.319 his career. He got kind of, I mean, not really 77 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.839 a slow start to the final table, but didn't really 78 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.480 get active in terms of knocking anyone out. It wasn't 79 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.519 until Joseph Bagdad Leon I believe I'm saying that correctly 80 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.040 busted in fifth place. But Bradley Gafford was the one 81 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.120 that left Bagdad Leon short and then Liberta ended up 82 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.879 finishing him off. Bagdodd leyon finished in fifth place for 83 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.839 four hundred ten thousand dollars. He was at my Day 84 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.720 two table. We battled in some hands. I doubled up 85 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.120 through him at one point. He ends up going on 86 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.480 to win more than four hundred thousand dollars, so great 87 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.120 run from Joseph magdod leyon there After he was busted 88 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:15.839 by Roberta Liberto, then busted Halford Fairchild in fourth place. 89 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.560 It was pocket nines for Roberta, besting the ace Queen 90 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.800 suited for Fairchild. Then he took out Roberto did he 91 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.399 took out Gafford in third place. Gafford with another deep 92 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.639 run in a big WSP event. He won the WAP 93 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.480 Mini Vaine. 94 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:33.680 A couple of years ago. 95 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.839 He actually beat Josh Reiker, who we're going to talk 96 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.600 about in a second, but Gafford busting in third place. 97 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.959 They got the money in well. Gafford jammed on the 98 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.319 river of a Jack ten to three King eight board. 99 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.480 Gafford believe it was check Ray's flop in I think 100 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.439 blind versus blind if I remember correctly, but he check 101 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.759 raised flop with King ten turn as a king he 102 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.600 bet got called river was an eight. Jammed got Liberta 103 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.160 had Queen nine flopped open ended, turned the King high 104 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.240 straight and then was able to pick off Gafford, who 105 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.639 was likely going for value in that spots with the 106 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.279 King ten, but just ran into it there. That said, 107 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.279 seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars score for Bradley Gafford. 108 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.079 Have played with him a bit around town. Might not 109 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.000 be playing with him anymore if he's you know, out 110 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.800 there winning three quarters of a million dollars. But a 111 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:32.120 good player, very aggressive, can certainly find some very interesting 112 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.240 lines in hands, and he's a he's a chore to 113 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.279 have at the table. So another big run here for 114 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.759 Bradley Gafford. Then it was heads up against Michael Monroy. 115 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:43.759 It ended up kind of a bit of a back 116 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.360 and forth, a little bit of a battle here, but 117 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:51.199 ultimately Liberto was just able to grind down Monroy. Monroy 118 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.040 got in his last i think five or six big 119 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.879 blinds with with ten eight priced in. Was Liberta or 120 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.399 at least you know, Monrog was short enough that he 121 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:07.199 called eight to five. Leberta flopped five deuce turn was 122 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.639 I think a queen to leave Monroy drawing dead. 123 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.319 And that was that. 124 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.000 Now Monrok did score a million dollars for second place. 125 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.680 This is the WSP millionaire maker. They did crowned two 126 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.959 millionaire makers. So Liberta on top one point twenty five million, 127 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:25.800 Monroyga second one million, Bradley Gafford third, seven hundred and 128 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.160 fifty k, Fairchild in fourth, five hundred and thirty K. 129 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.040 I mentioned Baghdad leon In fifth place or four hundred 130 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.199 and ten thousand, Alex Kim three hundred and fifteen thousand 131 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.279 for him sixth place. Alex Kim a friend of mine. 132 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.160 He was at the Poker COO Strategy Seminar a couple 133 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.120 of years ago that was held with US and had 134 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:49.480 coaches Andrew Marino and Andrew Liechtenberger there. Alex Kim made 135 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.800 the Millionaire Maker final table in twenty twenty four. 136 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:53.079 I believe I. 137 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:58.319 Did commentary on that. I think with Remco eighth place 138 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.160 in that one for one hundred and seventy four one 139 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.839 thousand dollars, and then here makes the final table of 140 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.959 this tournament again does a little bit better and takes 141 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.360 home three hundred and fifteen k. Jacob Gagnuan seventh place 142 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.480 for two forty five, Gary Gervich one hundred ninety K 143 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.839 for eighth place, Yifu he one hundred and fifty k 144 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:17.839 for ninth place. 145 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.240 Yfu. 146 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.959 We see, we see in the studio quite a bit 147 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.720 plays a lot of our PGT events for the no 148 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.079 limit stuff, so a good score for him. There one 149 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.879 hundred and fifty thousand over into another big field no 150 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.600 limit holding tournament, the twenty five hundred dollars Buying No 151 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:39.639 Limit Event. Josh Reichard doing the damn thing, his first 152 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.320 gold bracelet five hundred and fifty five thousand dollars going 153 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.960 his way. He topped the field of one thousand, seven 154 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.360 hundred and thirty six entries. He passes seven million dollars 155 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.440 in live tournament earnings. He has now this w S 156 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.799 a pre bracelet to go along with a WPT title. 157 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.480 He's got two basically circuit main event titles. He's got 158 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:07.759 two MSPT titles. I believe he has a Heartland Poker 159 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.240 Tour rip, Heartland Poker Tour, a Heartland Poker Tour title 160 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.759 as well. You know, Josh is one of those players 161 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.600 who he's a good friend of a good friend of 162 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.399 mine Modo Wara. Josh is one of the nicest, one 163 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.600 of the best tournament players when it comes to like 164 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:28.360 these live mid stakes tournaments. He also had a final table, 165 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.879 did Josh earlier in the ten K Mystery Boundy. I 166 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.600 believe because Alex Foxen won the Super Turber of Bound Me. Anyway, 167 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.039 Josh just freaking crushes if it's got a buy in 168 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:42.080 between let's say one K and five K. Josh is 169 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:46.559 absolutely one of the best in the world at these tournaments, 170 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.440 you know, yeah, of course, you know things. He's had 171 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.399 some success in some higher buying stuff as well. 172 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:52.000 Of course. 173 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.919 You know, I think he's won a couple of ten 174 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.279 k's here and there. He's gone deep, and I think 175 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.279 the main event, et cetera, like he's done well, you know, 176 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.159 But the bread and butter, I would say for Josh 177 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.679 Reichard is the one K to five K price point, 178 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.720 and he just absolutely nukes people in those fields. I 179 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.600 don't know how he does it, to be honest. I mean, 180 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.879 it's just it's simply incredible. 181 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:13.080 You know. 182 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.039 I look at someone like him, I look at someone 183 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.799 like an Andrew Moreno, and I'm just like these guys 184 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:23.480 just in these specific big field tournaments around this price point, 185 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:28.720 they just absolutely crushed the competition. Reikard beat Caleb Harris 186 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.320 in second place, Harris taking home three hundred and seventy 187 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.159 thousand dollars. We had a PGT regular Miles Moulay at 188 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:38.159 the final table. He took fifth place for one hundred 189 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:48.080 and forty five K. Let's take a break from discussing 190 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.399 the winners here for a second as we check out 191 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.960 the twenty five K nolam at HoldEm Slash Potlam and 192 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:59.559 Omaha Half and Half tournament. There are fourteen players remaining. 193 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:04.279 Believe they had a field of up over two hundred. Yeah, 194 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.840 two hundred and fourteen players or two hundred and fourteen 195 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.399 entries total in this one got a pretty good number 196 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.720 after it got a pretty low number, or at least 197 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.120 it started with a pretty low number. 198 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.279 You know. 199 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.039 I was getting some screenshots of the tournament clock that 200 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.440 were showing one entry, then six entries, then seven entries, 201 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.039 and it was like, well, what the heck's going on? 202 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.559 Is this thing? 203 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.399 This thing actually gonna get getting the entries. But it 204 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.080 ended up getting up there, so you know, it did. 205 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.879 It did pretty well overall. I'm just pulling up the 206 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.519 number from last year. Last year was two forty five 207 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:41.840 and that was won by lou Garza, and he's still 208 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.720 in the field. He's actually second in chips here with 209 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.919 fourteen players or maining, So lou Gars are looking to 210 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.600 go back to back in this half and half tournament. 211 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.480 It is interesting that, you know, it started so slow 212 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.000 for the entries, but it ultimately got up over two hundred, 213 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.519 so not too far off the pace that was set 214 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.799 last year, kind of in line with how the these 215 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.200 twenty five k and then you know, bigger buying events 216 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.879 have been going during the twenty twenty six World Series 217 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.480 of vo where we outlined a lot of the numbers 218 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:13.799 on the last episode of the podcast. So if you 219 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.919 guys missed that one, I would encourage you to go 220 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.759 back and check it out. Also, if you guys want, 221 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.879 I would highly encourage you guys to go over and 222 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:25.159 check out. On substack, it's called The Overlay. It's written 223 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:30.759 by my friend and longtime colleague, you know, longtime fellow 224 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.440 media member within the industry, Lance Bradley. He wrote about 225 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.639 the numbers. Coincidentally, him and I have been kind of 226 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.919 exchanging some text messages about some of the numbers stuff 227 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.440 and our spreadsheets and whatnot, but we really hadn't talked 228 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.879 about you know, like, hey, I'm going to do this 229 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.639 on this date and he's going to do this on 230 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.840 that date. But it just so happens that the day 231 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.799 when we released on this podcast feed. My episode talking 232 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.120 about the WASV numbers is the same day when he 233 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.440 released his piece on his substack called the Overlay about 234 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:04.240 the numbers. Just honestly total coincidence. It was pretty funny. 235 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.480 Lance and I came to pretty similar conclusions overall with things, 236 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.960 and you know, I know, we exchanged some messages back 237 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.080 and forth that that we were doing this, but we 238 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:19.039 never really talked about our findings and what the conclusions 239 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.399 that we were coming to. So I think it just 240 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.600 gives some credence or some weight to those findings, given 241 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.600 that he and I both found very similar things, but 242 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.799 you know, not really discussing it and coming at it 243 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:31.799 from two different angles. 244 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.000 So once again, go check that out. 245 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:35.840 Lance does great work over on his substack. 246 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.159 Again, it's called the Overlay. 247 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.440 Just look for it, Google it, whatever you gotta do. 248 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.000 But back to this this twenty five K half and 249 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.480 a half, we got Yoha Helpi. The finished legend is 250 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.080 leading the way with fourteen players remaining one million, one 251 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.600 hundred and seventy two thousand dollars up top. The final 252 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.840 fourteen players have sixty one thousand dollars locked up. You 253 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.679 got lou Garza sitting in second place. He is the 254 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.840 ending champion of this event, looking to go back to back. 255 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.200 Sweet Loue Baby. Elis Parsonen is also in. He won 256 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.399 a bracelet earlier this summer twenty five k PLO for 257 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.200 him was that bracelet. He's now going strong in this one. 258 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.840 Sean Winter is still in Shawn Winter still looking for 259 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.120 his first bracelet. Maybe this is the one for mister Winter. 260 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.840 Maybe Dylan Wiseman's in there, Dylan Lindy's in there, And 261 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:29.799 then I think, you guys know this guy who's sitting 262 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:34.919 in fourteenth place, the shortest acrimating Daniel Nagrane. He's still in. 263 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.159 He's fourteen out of fourteen. He does have some work 264 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.120 to do, but Daniel can spin it with the best 265 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.480 of him, and he's going to look to do that. 266 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.200 On Thursday. 267 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.879 In the one k PLO, a tournament that attracted more 268 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:54.159 than thirty seven hundred entries, Harry Rubin bests the field 269 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.000 to win three hundred and ninety thousand dollars a first bracelet. 270 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:03.399 Four hair Rubin he's a Connecticut player. He is making 271 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.399 his eighth World Series of Poker Cash. Most of them 272 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.200 are kind of some smaller scores, but he did have 273 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.279 a fourth place finish and a one K freeze out 274 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.639 back in twenty twenty two for one hundred and thirteen 275 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:19.159 one thousand dollars. This event. You know, you might think, wow, 276 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.000 one KPOLO got more than the thirty seven hundred entries, 277 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.600 it did have three starting flights. But I think that's great. 278 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.200 You know, I think we need some of these. I 279 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.799 talked about it on the On the Numbers episode. GOLO 280 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.200 has gotten so big and it's so popular now there 281 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.759 is clearly a demand for it. So similar to how 282 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.320 you have these big multi flight Nolam Holden tournaments, I 283 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.039 think you can start doing much more of that for 284 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.600 the PLO stuff on the lower to mid stakes end. 285 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.600 I mean you could even do things like, I don't know, 286 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.279 could you have a PLO Monster Stack, Could you have 287 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.720 a PLO Milli Maker. 288 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.360 I don't know. I think you could. 289 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.840 I threw out some crazy ideas on the last one. 290 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.919 I'll throw out some crazy more here. But you know, 291 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.000 I poos here and I think the w SIP should 292 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:04.840 start looking at some. 293 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:06.559 Of those those. 294 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:10.840 More gimmicky ar at least headlining name brand events and 295 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.879 do that with PLO. But Harry Rubin here topping this 296 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.440 one kplo more than thirty seven hundred entries, getting a 297 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.639 huge score of three hundred and ninety K for him. 298 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.000 Michelle Chin, she won the fifteen hundred dollars Duce to 299 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.440 seven Triple Draw top in a field of six hundred 300 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.320 and fifty seven entries to win one hundred and sixty 301 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:33.159 one thousand dollars her first bracelet. She's the first woman, 302 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.440 or she was the first woman to ever win a 303 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.919 w SP circuit main event. I read that in the 304 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.840 Poker News recap that was back in twenty fifteen. She 305 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.799 won the circuit main event that was held at Council 306 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:50.600 Bluffs in Iowa. She's the second woman this summer to 307 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.159 win an open bracelet event. The first was, of course, 308 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.120 Kristin Foxen when she won the twenty five K high 309 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.000 Roller earlier this summer, beat Daniel Strelitz in heads up placed. 310 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.119 Chin took one hundred and sixty one K Straylt's one 311 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.400 hundred and seven k for him. You get Nick Papio 312 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.599 at this final table, Sean Troja at this final table 313 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.880 as well. In heads up play here, Straylt's actually began 314 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.079 with the chip lead. He was up about one point 315 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.960 five to one over Chin. He stretched that out to 316 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.160 it looked like about five or six to one. He 317 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.359 had Chin on the ropes. And then she ends up 318 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.839 getting all in. She makes an eighty six to beat 319 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.240 Straylitz's eighty seven. That gave her a double up, but 320 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:37.839 she still had work to do from there, of course, 321 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.799 And actually Straylt's kind of opened his lead back up 322 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.039 once again. But then all of a sudden, it's like 323 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:46.319 they went on this break, they come back. She starts 324 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.720 charging hard. You know, this is in the three hundred 325 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.400 thousand and six hundred level. She works her way into 326 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.920 the chip lead and then next thing you know, she's 327 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.559 got Straylett's on the ropes. They get all in. She's 328 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.839 got an eight seven five I think it was four 329 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.519 to three or maybe four deuce. Treil Ta has an 330 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.680 eight seven four to two draw. He ends up pulling 331 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.240 two threes, making a pair of threes, and that's all 332 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.519 she wrote for Straylas. He finishes in second place and 333 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.640 Michelle Chin coming out on top. We also had a 334 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.160 winner in the five hundred dollars Salute to Warriors event. 335 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:24.680 Prashant Notaraj takes this one down four thousand four hundred 336 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.200 and seventy eight entries in the field for this five 337 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.680 hundred dollars by an event notarage, taking home two hundred 338 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.880 and eight thousand dollars his first bracelet. His previous best score. 339 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.680 His previous best live score was forty two thousand dollars. 340 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:42.200 That's his only previous five figure score, So he crushes 341 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.039 that he gets his first bracelet. 342 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:45.160 He does. 343 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.640 He did have a handful of previous so op cashes, 344 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.799 but no final table is certainly nothing like this win. 345 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:58.359 His previous best WSOP score was for forty nine hundred dollars. 346 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.880 He taught Lawrence Essek in heads up Play. You had 347 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.960 Lexi Gavin Mather, a popular vlogger, popular player. She's been 348 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.640 around for quite some time. She finished in seventh place 349 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.160 for thirty three thousand dollars. This event, it's called the 350 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.480 Salute to Warriors because part of the prize pool is 351 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:24.240 donated to the United Service Organizations the USO in support 352 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.319 of military veterans. There was nearly a one hundred and 353 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.960 eighty thousand dollars raised for that cause to go to 354 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.359 those veterans. So that's a really cool thing that the 355 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.000 WSP always does every single year, and this event always 356 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.680 draws very very well. Congratulations to for Shant not Aaje 357 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.440 on his first placelet and the two hundred thousand dollars 358 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:54.319 plus score in the tournament that everyone has been clamoring 359 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.359 for them to stream, but they have not really streamed. 360 00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.359 Much of it. 361 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:02.359 The fifty k PPC they are down to six players 362 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.559 from the field of one hundred and eight entries. The 363 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.039 chip leader entering the final day of play is Benny 364 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.000 in Glauser. He has a fairly healthy lead over the field. 365 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.799 He's got eight point six million. Next closest, well, there's 366 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.559 there's a few players. You have Max Coleman, you have 367 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.400 Phil Ivy, you have josh Aiy and Christopher Tong all 368 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.039 between five million and five point five million, and then 369 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.039 you have Paul Volby rounding out the pack with two 370 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:38.039 point seven million.
