Speaker 1: I know, but I'm kind of busy right now.
Speaker 3: I'm saying auld series, something like the first Monday of
Speaker 3: every month, something that we can you know, we don't
Speaker 3: want to do it every week, but something we could
Speaker 3: stick to and make it cut.
Speaker 1: It works. That works for me.
Speaker 3: Well, logistics, you worry about producing main event, I'll figure
Speaker 3: and we'll work with producer Rich who goes by producer
Speaker 3: Rich on play Poker Grower dot com.
Speaker 1: So if you want to play with rich Ryan, he's producing,
Speaker 1: good question, he should?
Speaker 2: He should? Right, yeah, go a little soundboard in the
Speaker 2: on the sign should here?
Speaker 1: He should should, definitely should. But yeah, play poker go
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: W spe made event time Day four wraps five hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty two remain guaranteed what thirty.
Speaker 2: Five K, thirty two five hundred thirty two five? You
Speaker 2: should know that more than I should.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know exactly where it ended up.
Speaker 2: Well, you just made they just made a page.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I was. I've been kind of sweating
Speaker 1: the page. Yeah, not not sweating them, but like you know,
Speaker 1: making sure that I hit them as best I can. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of maneuvering or whenever I need to.
Speaker 1: So min cast was worth fifteen k, and then they
Speaker 1: they've been going up in twenty five hundred dollars increments
Speaker 1: from there. Somebody actually made a comment at my table
Speaker 1: which I thought was interesting. How did they make all
Speaker 1: the payouts zero zero except for the like there's two
Speaker 1: that are like twelve or something like around twelfth where
Speaker 1: they're they end in two fifty. But other than that,
Speaker 1: they all end like in even like zero zero this year,
Speaker 1: like literally every single payout. How did they do that?
Speaker 2: Is that not possible?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is it possible? I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's possible. I mean, maybe it is possible because nine
Speaker 1: three seven five, right, well yeah, yeah for the end
Speaker 1: and ends in zeros oh okay, but ends in five hundred.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Okay, then it works all right? That makes sense.
Speaker 1: Then what's the the rake again?
Speaker 2: Seven seven hundred? Okay? Got it?
Speaker 1: Crazy tournament, this freaking thing, absolutely crazy tournament. It really
Speaker 1: is so guaranteed thirty two thousand, five hundred. It looks
Speaker 1: like Harold Lamb is the current chip leader, or at
Speaker 1: least one of I'm going off of Poker News where
Speaker 1: they have the assorted end of day chip counts and
Speaker 1: they have Harold Lamb up on top with four million,
Speaker 1: one ninety five thousand. Jeremy Coytler, I know, Jeremy Cadler
Speaker 1: used to play a ton of the epts. You're sorry
Speaker 1: EBTs wpts three point seven to two five million for him,
Speaker 1: Julian Marianni three point six million. That runs out the
Speaker 1: top three stacks again. According to Poker News, other big
Speaker 1: stacks we got Nick Papio, Josh Reichard, Kenny Hallard, Braxton Dunaway,
Speaker 1: Michael ms Rocky, Oh my god, Eric Afriott I played
Speaker 1: with him for a long time today, Will Cassouf, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I mean this is just simply incredible.
Speaker 2: Who else do we got?
Speaker 1: Adam Hendricks, bag chips, Anthony Greg, Tony Gregg, I saw
Speaker 1: him today, Tony Greg back from the dead. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Romaine Luk of course he's in there. Costs Remaine Luka
Speaker 1: is one thousand percent making the face table. I think,
Speaker 1: so that's what That's what producer Rich sent to us,
Speaker 1: So I'm going with it. Who else we got? Dennis Strepkov,
Speaker 1: Caleb Firth, Bruno Firth table who, Fran Sanderson and Eric
Speaker 1: Afriot Eric Yeah, I already mentioned Francis Anderson did bag chips,
Speaker 1: Arnault ma Turn is still in, Stephen Chidwick is still in,
Speaker 1: Isaac Hackston, still in, Tom Middleton, still in, Frankie Flowers,
Speaker 1: still in, Scott Margerson, still in.
Speaker 2: Krista Macy still in Ye saw him.
Speaker 1: I always so, I always I do this thing that
Speaker 1: that Pad's said to that he does a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. I've talked about it before, but every time
Speaker 1: under the gun, play my under the gun hand, and
Speaker 1: then I stand up from the table. So I stand
Speaker 1: up every single rotation after I play my under the
Speaker 1: gun hand. That way, I know that like I'm getting up,
Speaker 1: I'm not just sitting all day. I'm getting up. I'm
Speaker 1: stretching out, I'm getting the blood flowing all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff. And then I think what Pad said is like,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like get the blood flowing, center yourself, focus,
Speaker 1: and then get back in there, sit back down. Because
Speaker 1: then the big blind, the small blind, and the button,
Speaker 1: the next three hands are generally the hands that you
Speaker 1: play the most from. You know, big blind, somebody raises,
Speaker 1: you defend a lot. You know small blind as well,
Speaker 1: and then you know button, You're probably gonna be opening
Speaker 1: quite a bit. So I do that all the time.
Speaker 1: But what I'm getting at is that when I do
Speaker 1: that now, I kind of like take a glance around
Speaker 1: the room, and I like it's funny because like I
Speaker 1: see in the chip guns now that these people are
Speaker 1: in and I couldn't see them all, you know, around
Speaker 1: the room, So it's just funny to be like, oh
Speaker 1: that guy's stilling, or oh that that person's stilling, or
Speaker 1: oh that person's still in. Who else we got Maxim
Speaker 1: piece of Ranco Joyce. Okay, latarro Guera is still in
Speaker 1: the PLO got himself to scene. Though you only get
Speaker 1: two cards in this tournament.
Speaker 3: I think he's been taking one from the player next thing, okay,
Speaker 3: one from the other play and blind fol got it inside.
Speaker 1: Brian Hastings still in, Greg Mrson still in, Victor Blom Wow,
Speaker 1: Asher Khan if heesther Taylor, I saw she beg chips.
Speaker 1: This is just this is simply incredible. It just really
Speaker 1: is all right cool they have me as Donald Peters.
Speaker 1: They really need to change. That is Nate Silver still in?
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's in these chip counts. I want
Speaker 1: to say this guy, Brandon Estrada is still in. Who
Speaker 1: I believe is the son of Eric Estrada.
Speaker 2: Okay, can I ask you a ship of question? Who
Speaker 2: is Eric Astrada?
Speaker 1: He was one of the lead actors for the movie
Speaker 1: or the show, Chips on the Chips, the policeman on
Speaker 1: the motorcycles, California Highway, whatever. It's an American thing. It's
Speaker 1: funny because like, I saw this guy, Okay, when I
Speaker 1: was doing my standing up thing, I saw him, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was well he I was on like an aisle
Speaker 1: and he was on the other side of the aisle,
Speaker 1: and I saw him standing up and he looked like
Speaker 1: a he looked like a good looking individual. He looked
Speaker 1: like he was in shape. And I and I and
Speaker 1: I've been doing this long that I know if the
Speaker 1: person is like an athlete or something like. I can
Speaker 1: just tell, Like I can just tell by the way
Speaker 1: he's built, what he's wearing, something like. I have to
Speaker 1: look this up. So obviously I just see this table
Speaker 1: and seat. I look it up on the app. Okay,
Speaker 1: I fired into Google. Boom it comes up. He's Eric
Speaker 1: Estrada's son. So I'm like, yeah, exactly, this this makes
Speaker 1: total sense. Who else is still in?
Speaker 2: Uh Estrada? Est there you go? Half a million?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Renee Charles Angelill famous, Yeah, he's also still in.
Speaker 1: He's got two and a half million, crushing yeah, crazy
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. Day five of the freaking main event. Baby,
Speaker 1: there's what five percent of the field left? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a little more six percent of the field left. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about you first.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's makes sense. Well, walk up today feeling good.
Speaker 3: I have to get a new hat, so that's why
Speaker 3: I'm wearing this hat.
Speaker 1: Is that your new hat or is that an old hat?
Speaker 2: No, we bought a new hat just for today.
Speaker 1: Sure, hot, Okay.
Speaker 3: My plan was, you know, I've had these very true,
Speaker 3: very unique looks. I was going to do another unique
Speaker 3: look today. This T shirt gifted from Adam Hendrix. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you guys going to see it, but look, cowboy,
Speaker 3: what's the sound.
Speaker 2: The back.
Speaker 1: Where the West has gone?
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice gift. Thank you. Adam is Adam Hendrix.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still in two million or over two.
Speaker 3: This was a gift from him, and I thought this
Speaker 3: hat was fitting. And I was like, you know what
Speaker 3: if I make a run and I get to day ten,
Speaker 3: new outfit every day, new cowboy hat, that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 3: But okay, that didn't happen. Ah, So let's start started
Speaker 3: with one sixty eight. I had one of the chip
Speaker 3: leaders on my left second hand of the day. The
Speaker 3: pocket cameras are around me, I got photographers around me.
Speaker 2: Under the gun.
Speaker 3: Dung Chan opens min rays follows to me in the
Speaker 3: big mine with Pocket Queens. For those of that are
Speaker 3: you new to the podcast, I bubbled the main event
Speaker 3: with Pocket Queens about eighteen years ago, So I'm going
Speaker 3: to say my heart rate was probably one hundred and
Speaker 3: eighty five beats a minute at that point. Now I'm
Speaker 3: still gonna play hands. I'm just gonna be a bit
Speaker 3: more cautious.
Speaker 1: I can't believe you just didn't put it in.
Speaker 3: I'm not hell not, I just I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 3: doing it. I need to make the money.
Speaker 1: But like trying to play a hand like on every
Speaker 1: single street against an aggressive player to be much more difficult.
Speaker 2: But I'd rather do that, But.
Speaker 1: That seems like it'd be much more different. How many
Speaker 1: how many blinds.
Speaker 2: Did you have? What was the actual twenty one? What
Speaker 2: was the action open on the gun? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You could have just jammed.
Speaker 2: I could have, but I'm not going to anyway.
Speaker 1: You opened under the gun? No he did, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: for sure, we played. Honestly, I think you should have
Speaker 1: just jammed. We played the hand out I won because
Speaker 1: if it just comes ace high and he's just betting
Speaker 1: like on, like you're just in a shitty spot.
Speaker 2: He says, I'm phoning Okay, if he just.
Speaker 1: Triple barrels off, you're not one a lot of wards.
Speaker 3: I had another hand where I had to raise fall tens.
Speaker 3: Guy made it super large than that. Same guy who
Speaker 3: was second in chips, played a six hundred k basically
Speaker 3: part for his whole tournament life against dung Chen. It
Speaker 3: says like, remember how we discussed like these chip leaders
Speaker 3: is going to war when there's people with like three bigs.
Speaker 3: I was messaging one of our players who had three bigs.
Speaker 3: You'll find three bigs, huh? Who had three big Natalie
Speaker 3: Ferguson had three bigs in the big blind right on
Speaker 3: the hand for hand, and she was like, well, I'm like,
Speaker 3: you're fine the blind She yeah, she made it. Fold
Speaker 3: the blinds, fold the small yourself half of it. You'll
Speaker 3: make it. No problems anyway, had tens raised, folded that
Speaker 3: one probably, and then I had kings raised on the
Speaker 3: bubble on the direct bubble, got that through, and then
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Jeffrey Platt, loyal listener of the Pogo podcast, decides
Speaker 3: to interview no warning. I thought it'd be like, hey, hey,
Speaker 3: can we interview you after this hand? I would have
Speaker 3: said sure, no problems but instead he just randomly walks
Speaker 3: up goes, hey, you got a second? I was like sure, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: And I think I did pretty well on that interview.
Speaker 3: I don't know if if you, if you had a
Speaker 3: chance to listen, but we can play it.
Speaker 1: No, it was good.
Speaker 3: We can play it now for the the people. Sure yeah,
Speaker 3: all right, Rich?
Speaker 4: Do you think hey, out here in the feel three
Speaker 4: away from the money, let's talk to let's see five
Speaker 4: twenty two, five thirty five thirty two would be good?
Speaker 4: Why not stop here and why not talk to this guy?
Speaker 4: Excuse me, sir, just just if you have a quick
Speaker 4: secon if you can see, it's just Tim Duckworth.
Speaker 1: He's the commissioner of the PGT.
Speaker 4: He hosts the Poker Goo podcast and eighteen years ago
Speaker 4: this man was the bubble at the main What do
Speaker 4: you remember about that?
Speaker 3: There's a lot of pain. It was a brittant way.
Speaker 3: I got slow rolled to boss, so it was pretty brutal.
Speaker 3: But twenty one year old, a little kid from Australia
Speaker 3: bought Hey, that led to me being in this industry.
Speaker 3: So not real complaints, you know. So I'm going to
Speaker 3: learn from poker wives. But I want to be here.
Speaker 3: If it wasn't for that that bubble, I would say, how.
Speaker 4: Do you compare playing in that man to playing in
Speaker 4: this man?
Speaker 3: I was very nervous back then, obviously, you know, I
Speaker 3: was a one two no lemon holding player back in Ustralia.
Speaker 3: This I feel pretty calm, you know, like I've been.
Speaker 3: I've been in pokers so long, eighteen years now that
Speaker 3: although this is like the greatest tournament in the world,
Speaker 3: it is cool to finally be pop of it.
Speaker 2: But otherwise it feels like, you.
Speaker 3: Know, the South Point Nightly that I'm used to playing
Speaker 3: every other day.
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask how many poker tournaments do you
Speaker 4: think you've played in the last year or so, and
Speaker 4: what's what's the highest buying out of those tournaments.
Speaker 3: I would say my average buying is probably three hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: I probably played thirteen events in the last eighteen months.
Speaker 2: I don't play that.
Speaker 3: Much like working, you know, for Poco and all these
Speaker 3: fine people in the back. You around pocus so much
Speaker 3: that the last thing you really want to do is
Speaker 3: just jump and get to it. You want to be
Speaker 3: with your friends, be with your family, doing other things.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't play that much, and I'm okay
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 4: You bust in Makita bad Ziakuski the other day. What's
Speaker 4: it like to take out one of the top players
Speaker 4: in the world. Forget how he did it. If he
Speaker 4: got luckier, now details don't matter.
Speaker 2: I did get lucky. I was a bit of a mystery,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: To be honest, it was the experience playing with someone
Speaker 3: that I like, I've covered for years was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I know him super well, but like
Speaker 3: just being around these guys in the studio or around
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: He feels like you learn how they play a little.
Speaker 1: Bit more so.
Speaker 3: I actually felt more comfortable playing against Makita than some
Speaker 3: of the other people at the table. So it's pretty
Speaker 3: cool to bust him out. A little feather in my cap,
Speaker 3: but that I'll take home.
Speaker 4: I want to ask you about two people. The first
Speaker 4: is your co hosts on the Poker Goo podcast. Donnie
Speaker 4: Peters is also still in YouTube. You play during the day,
Speaker 4: you record the podcast tonight, you sleep for a little bit,
Speaker 4: you wake up and get back at it. What's it
Speaker 4: like to have both of you making this run.
Speaker 3: It's pretty special, you know, Like you said, we're recording
Speaker 3: at two am every night, getting home at three am,
Speaker 3: getting a little bit of sleep. It's cool that we're
Speaker 3: both in It's cool that we can bounce hands back
Speaker 3: and forth.
Speaker 2: It's cool that he can insult me and how bad
Speaker 2: I play.
Speaker 3: It's pretty special, Like you know, just like me, he
Speaker 3: doesn't play that much. And for us to make a
Speaker 3: run in, like, like I said, the best tournament in
Speaker 3: the world, that's kind of that's just pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Second person, I want to ask you about he's
Speaker 4: in the booth with Brent Hanks right now. His name
Speaker 4: is Jeremy Becker. He had some choice words for you
Speaker 4: on a live stream. How do you respond.
Speaker 3: I was just watching the live stream. Look, he's not wrong.
Speaker 3: I dressed fantastic. I play horrible, and I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3: I played with him, he's much better than me. I'm
Speaker 3: not started. I'm just doing my thing. I'm out here
Speaker 3: playing the way I want to play. If it works,
Speaker 3: it works, If it doesn't, it doesn't. By at the
Speaker 3: end of the day, I'm having a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Hopefully I can at least fade a few more players,
Speaker 3: make a little bit.
Speaker 2: Of money, and uh, just keep ladding up that's all
Speaker 2: that I can hopeful.
Speaker 4: I think you look fantastic. By the way, I'll find
Speaker 4: Donnie next chat with him. Thank you for the time.
Speaker 1: I guess I thought you did well in that interview.
Speaker 1: I would say we could also play my interview, but
Speaker 1: the audio kind of went in and out because the
Speaker 1: mic was broken.
Speaker 3: Because you're so far away. I think that once you
Speaker 3: get to that side of the room, it says.
Speaker 1: Are we poker grow or are we not poker?
Speaker 2: I figure it out.
Speaker 1: We should be able to do it from literally anywhere
Speaker 1: between Horseshoe and Paris. We should be able to do
Speaker 1: everything we want to do.
Speaker 3: I don't understand after that interview.
Speaker 2: Obviously we made the money.
Speaker 3: We saw that triple triple bus, the triple knockout on
Speaker 3: the bubble. Should we talk about my because I'll go
Speaker 3: through I'm really face, let me run through mind, then
Speaker 3: we'll go back. I hit a ladder seventeen and five
Speaker 3: first break, one hundred and thirty k is a bit
Speaker 3: of a down. Had another hand where I felt like
Speaker 3: I could have doubled where I three bet shoved the
Speaker 3: Ace King Ace nine folded King Queen folder. So that
Speaker 3: was kind of anoying and then we were about sixty
Speaker 3: off the next ladder and I had the twelve bigs,
Speaker 3: and I was like, Okay, I wonder if I can
Speaker 3: make this. Kept slowly ticking down, slowly ticking down. It
Speaker 3: got to one off the paye jump, and the undergun opens.
Speaker 3: Two bigs, and I have Pocket Jackson, the button and
Speaker 3: the clock where I'm sitting.
Speaker 2: I'm playing like this.
Speaker 3: The clock is like through this side of my glasses,
Speaker 3: so it looks like I'm looking straight, but my eyes
Speaker 3: on this clock just waiting to see it go downwards.
Speaker 3: So we make it twenty five hundred dollar paye jump.
Speaker 3: It goes down. I was not folding anyway, but I'm
Speaker 3: all in pucket. Otherwise I was going to do the
Speaker 3: whole raise everything but one chip thing.
Speaker 1: I would have done that anyway, just to make sure
Speaker 1: I hit the pay jump.
Speaker 2: No, I saw it, and then I I.
Speaker 1: Always liked it to go to what even one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair, that's fair, got it all in. I
Speaker 3: had pocket Jack's ten bigs. He had pocket aces, so
Speaker 3: I did not want to see that hand pretty clean
Speaker 3: board for him. I'm out one thousand and sixth place.
Speaker 3: I got twenty K ended up moving up quite a
Speaker 3: few spots, so I guess they were a little behind
Speaker 3: in the in the busting people. But all in all,
Speaker 3: I kind of said in the interview, I had a
Speaker 3: lot of fun. It was pretty good to kind of
Speaker 3: get back in the main event after eighteen years. And
Speaker 3: and although it was sad for a little bit, I
Speaker 3: was like, you know, back to work, and I'm kind
Speaker 3: of already looking forward to next year. I think it's
Speaker 3: something that I mean, I know, once you played your
Speaker 3: first one, you were like, I'm playing it every year.
Speaker 3: And now that I finally like, you're going to max late,
Speaker 3: done again, You're going to max late. And some people
Speaker 3: had one guy, one of our coworkers say, oh, turn
Speaker 3: k profit not bad for four days work, and I go,
Speaker 3: I barely played two because I late registered day you know,
Speaker 3: day two, you know, played day three.
Speaker 1: I was thinking of that today. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: it was so much easier for him to get to
Speaker 1: the money than me.
Speaker 3: You have to enjoy a whole extra day in a
Speaker 3: hat that I didn't play, so my ROI is significantly higher.
Speaker 3: Only difference I would probably do is maybe register max
Speaker 3: light on day to ABC so I get that extra
Speaker 3: day off that seems to make the most.
Speaker 1: Day off the day offs. I'm telling you, guys, if
Speaker 1: you think about playing this sort of thing, I don't
Speaker 1: care if you're new or if you're a pro, play
Speaker 1: one of the first three day ones. Yeah, take day
Speaker 1: one d off. Then you play day two ABC. If
Speaker 1: you advance, then you have day two d off. It
Speaker 1: helps so much, it helps I can't imagine playing just
Speaker 1: like basically straight through. Yeah, I know you if you
Speaker 1: even if you play one d you still got that
Speaker 1: next day off. But still, like, I think you should
Speaker 1: just get max days off. So play the earlier ones
Speaker 1: and honestly, next year I might play Day one A
Speaker 1: and then just get the marriage days off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, why don't you do what I had? And
Speaker 2: you don't want to maculate?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to maculate. I want to
Speaker 1: I want to get in there early, play some parts,
Speaker 1: maybe catch some puns, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: But no, I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: And like, I think the one thing I've kind of
Speaker 3: that is different from this year this year versus eighteen
Speaker 3: years ago was just like kind of valuing my chips
Speaker 3: in a way. And what I mean is that Like,
Speaker 3: you know, there was times on date yesterday where I
Speaker 3: was down to you know, six and a half seven bigs,
Speaker 3: and it's like, you don't need to give up, Like
Speaker 3: this is a you know, obviously, yeah, going down that
Speaker 3: point kind of sucks. But when if you lose binghanded
Speaker 3: and it happens, it happens. But you don't need to
Speaker 3: just this ain't the south Point Nightly. You don't need
Speaker 3: to just throw it away. So all in all, I
Speaker 3: had a fun time. Wish I kind of seiling like you,
Speaker 3: but hey, I'll take twenty k twenty k cash and
Speaker 3: I want to touch on before we throw it to you.
Speaker 3: For the loyal listeners, they may remember I had three
Speaker 3: poker goals at the start of the year. We both
Speaker 3: sed some poker goals, set some fitness goals. I think
Speaker 3: we said a few other things.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. My poker rules were.
Speaker 3: I can remember it and I'll tell you why, because
Speaker 3: I said on the podcast, I could knock it off
Speaker 3: in one event, which is the WSP main event. My
Speaker 3: goals were play the WSP main event. That's the easiest
Speaker 3: goal because that just requires you know, paink here you go.
Speaker 3: Second one was have twenty K and earnings. You know what,
Speaker 3: we don't play that much. I hadn't hit twenty K
Speaker 3: for quite a while, so I thought that's a you know,
Speaker 3: that's a good goal to strive for. I had nine
Speaker 3: k in Ernie's coming into this event from the Venetian
Speaker 3: and Champions Cume in Texas, so this takes me to
Speaker 3: twenty nine K, so that's ticked. And then my third
Speaker 3: one was sounds a little silly, and it's also the
Speaker 3: hardest was cash in a WSP event. Like I said,
Speaker 3: don't play that much, especially at the WSP. It's obviously
Speaker 3: harder to cash than just play an event. And it's
Speaker 3: been a while since I had I think I had
Speaker 3: a really cold streak of like eighteen or.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: I ticked all three poke goals for the year off
Speaker 3: in this one event. So now I need to probably
Speaker 3: set some new ones. I haven't real thought of him yet,
Speaker 3: but maybe another time we will. Sorry, that's it. That's
Speaker 3: my main event. I'll be back next to you a
Speaker 3: day too. ABC. Max Lay probably in and on the
Speaker 3: Cowboy half that's talking about you because you're still in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am still in. I got eight hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty five k going through, We're still going to be
Speaker 1: playing the ten K twenty K twenty K level, so
Speaker 1: I'll have almost forty two bigs get another hour left
Speaker 1: of this level. We ended up playing what was four
Speaker 1: and a half levels today due to the bubble. My
Speaker 1: day started outrageously. I get to the table and let
Speaker 1: me actually go back to the night prior. We get
Speaker 1: our table draw and I'm like, holy shit, I'm the
Speaker 1: chip leader at my table with two hundred and fifty K,
Speaker 1: and now Francis Anderson at the table and he had
Speaker 1: I think two forty five or two forty, so he
Speaker 1: was pretty close to me, but everyone else was pretty short,
Speaker 1: you know, and there was like four or five stacks
Speaker 1: below one hunter k or whatever. It was certainly interesting.
Speaker 1: We get there, we start playing, and immediately all the
Speaker 1: short stacks start tanking. Francis Anson starts losing his mind,
Speaker 1: screaming clock at the top of his lungs, calling the
Speaker 1: floor like all this sort of stuff. The whole table's
Speaker 1: getting mad at Francis. I'm kind of just trying to
Speaker 1: stay out of it now. For me, For me and
Speaker 1: Francis combined, it benefits us to play faster because we
Speaker 1: have the most chips, so it benefits us to play faster,
Speaker 1: and you know, the pressures on those other guys, the
Speaker 1: blinds go around faster, all that sort of stuff. Of course,
Speaker 1: for them it benefits them to tank and by slower.
Speaker 1: I get it right now. I know a lot was
Speaker 1: made of Francis yelling clock and making the whole ordeal
Speaker 1: of the whole thing and constantly calling the floor over
Speaker 1: and on all that sort of stuff, But I'm sure
Speaker 1: there were other tables in that room that were doing
Speaker 1: egregious tanking as well. That title was really bad, yeah exactly,
Speaker 1: but like you might, you didn't have Francis asin on
Speaker 1: who's just going nuts. So eventually the flo it's called
Speaker 1: I think three times because Francis is yelling about it
Speaker 1: over and then the floor just like jumps to first
Speaker 1: they jumped in the same thing. They said like, okay,
Speaker 1: you only get ten seconds to act, and then Francis
Speaker 1: like kept like complaining about it, and so the floor
Speaker 1: was used get five seconds to act to everyone to everyone,
Speaker 1: which is like absurd because there was only there was four,
Speaker 1: i think four people that were tanking. I was not tanking.
Speaker 1: The guy next to me, who was maybe the shortest
Speaker 1: person at the table was not tanking, although he should
Speaker 1: have been, but he wasn't, you know. And then the
Speaker 1: guy next to him was also not tanking. But like
Speaker 1: it was weird that the floor came over and just
Speaker 1: listen to whatever Francis said. Like like Francis was complaining
Speaker 1: to the floor, was like you all get five seconds,
Speaker 1: and it was like okay, but like I feel like
Speaker 1: I was could have been like the adult in the
Speaker 1: room because it was one of those things where I
Speaker 1: think like everyone was kind of acting like an idiot,
Speaker 1: and I was like I wanted to be like, Okay, listen.
Speaker 1: He's being ridiculous calling the clock, like literally as soon
Speaker 1: as he got to a person, he be claw claw clock,
Speaker 1: yelling out like on stop, like literally as soon as
Speaker 1: he touched someone's hand. And then and then of course,
Speaker 1: like people are taking a little bit longer because they're
Speaker 1: trying to think and he's just yelling clock and calling
Speaker 1: the floor. So it's like, dude, you have to like
Speaker 1: let these people actually think for two seconds. And then
Speaker 1: he Francis would be like, you guys are all good
Speaker 1: poker players. You've made it to day for the main event.
Speaker 1: You know what you're doing preflow. He kept saying that.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I had one like my gun
Speaker 1: man in a non state. He would pull his cause
Speaker 1: into in front of his chips. Then he would grab one,
Speaker 1: slide it all the way around this side, look at it,
Speaker 1: slide it back. Get the other cod slide it here,
Speaker 1: look at it, slide it back. Like everyone had their
Speaker 1: own little ot to like stalling, you know, the and
Speaker 1: like I just noticed that guy and then he's a
Speaker 1: funny We make the money and it's just look race
Speaker 1: like he just like of course, well even even once
Speaker 1: once we did when we got to hand for him play,
Speaker 1: which we started I think six players off the money.
Speaker 1: We came back to the day with fifteen and that's
Speaker 1: when all the commotions was happening, and like they kept
Speaker 1: coming over. It was a whole fing thing over there
Speaker 1: with our at our table, like did you know did
Speaker 1: you hear like the commotion?
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was your type, was my table.
Speaker 1: It was all Francis like going crazy, uh and like
Speaker 1: and of course then Francis, being the way that he
Speaker 1: was about the whole thing, people are getting mad at him.
Speaker 1: So then then they're actually tanking to piss him off.
Speaker 1: It's like it was a whole thing. It was a
Speaker 1: whole thing. So he's friends just like every hand is
Speaker 1: taking five minutes. Francis, who cares. Okay, it's that U
Speaker 1: must be made him in bubble. This is what happens. Wait,
Speaker 1: who gives this ship? If somebody is egregiously tanking, then fine, okay,
Speaker 1: we get it. But like like he was literally just
Speaker 1: like as soon as it hit someone, he'd be like one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four fur of claw claw clock.
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, we uh yeah, at title was pretty bad.
Speaker 3: I texted, you know, like I said, I have a
Speaker 3: group chat with the Flaws and I was like, when
Speaker 3: are we starting hand for hand? This is outrageous. When
Speaker 3: we finally went hand for hand, the first hand of
Speaker 3: hand for hand flight, I was under the gun and
Speaker 3: I they dealt the cosa are we half a hand now?
Speaker 3: I said, like out ladder, Everyone's like yeah yeah. Looked
Speaker 3: at my CA and I just like snapped through them
Speaker 3: me and I was trying to like said like okay,
Speaker 3: we can now like play properly.
Speaker 1: I definitely think with the app and the way that
Speaker 1: it allows for the efficient tracking of the field size,
Speaker 1: I feel like we can get down to like pretty
Speaker 1: close to the money bubble and then go hand for hand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I almost feel like they should have probably just started
Speaker 1: hand for hand at fifteen with fifteen back. I know
Speaker 1: that's like a long time, but the tanking was outrageous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we also just need clocks, I mean really.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like we've talked about there's a world
Speaker 3: where you know, if we were in charge for the day,
Speaker 3: we might institute clocks in the main event, and day
Speaker 3: four would be the perfect time, right, you could just
Speaker 3: from the side of play the clocks in play. You
Speaker 3: know we're talking what fifty No, wait, yeah, one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty Like clocks we need. But like with the
Speaker 3: iPad that's already on the table, the tablet, yeah, it
Speaker 3: should we should be had to do.
Speaker 1: There's a shock on there because like when the floor
Speaker 1: came to my table, he pressed the buttons in the.
Speaker 3: Clock, popp it's not the it's not the shot clock
Speaker 3: that they use in high rolls.
Speaker 2: They use the iPad app that we used.
Speaker 1: But I think for I think that's definitely the next
Speaker 1: evolution of the app for next summer, right, like adding
Speaker 1: all the app on every single table should just have
Speaker 1: a shot clock.
Speaker 3: Well, that'd be a big evolution for the main event,
Speaker 3: though why listen.
Speaker 1: And started on day four?
Speaker 3: I guess you could say we didn't never have the
Speaker 3: big Glen Annie until five years ago.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think nowadays there are enough tournaments around
Speaker 1: the world that have clocks that I would say the
Speaker 1: large majority of people have played with them and are
Speaker 1: familiar with them, so they should, like it shouldn't just
Speaker 1: be like, oh, what the heck is this? You know,
Speaker 1: and I even played, I've played in some events, you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to the WPT World Championship, you know where
Speaker 1: they add the clocks, enter the WPT Prime Championship or
Speaker 1: add the clocks in And there for sure have been
Speaker 1: people at the table who have never played with the clock,
Speaker 1: but they quickly figure it out. I mean, like, it's
Speaker 1: not that complicated to figure out that you have, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty seconds or thirty seconds or whatever it is. So
Speaker 1: we end up getting a hand for hand that everything
Speaker 1: speeds up at our table. Fine, we get into the money.
Speaker 1: Great first break. I'm at three hundred and seventy three thousand.
Speaker 1: I actually have no idea how I got there, And
Speaker 1: now I think about it once again. I did not
Speaker 1: write down any hands. I was just trying to be
Speaker 1: as president as I could at the table and pay
Speaker 1: attention as much as possible. But yeah, I got up
Speaker 1: to three seventy three. Then I got up to five
Speaker 1: seventy two at the next break. Let me see if
Speaker 1: I messaged Yeah, I think the first the first break like,
Speaker 1: I just won some hands. Oh, I busted a guy
Speaker 1: with I busted one guy with seven's when it went
Speaker 1: button raised, I flatted the sevens in the small blind.
Speaker 1: The big blind jammed like king six off, which is
Speaker 1: very weird buttonfold that I called. I held there. I
Speaker 1: busted another short stack when he was all in for
Speaker 1: like two and a half big blinds. I called blind
Speaker 1: on the big blind with ten seven off and he
Speaker 1: had pocket three's. I won that. So anyway, first break
Speaker 1: had had three seventy three. Second break got up to
Speaker 1: five seventy two. Was going through that break. I got
Speaker 1: through two big bluffs bor textures just I think favored
Speaker 1: my range in the hands, so I went for it
Speaker 1: on the river and it worked out. So that was good,
Speaker 1: and that allowed me to get up to five seventy two.
Speaker 1: And then I lost a huge hand before dinner against
Speaker 1: Bob Buckenmeyer. He opens I flat button with tens. The
Speaker 1: big line called as well, Yep, it comes King ten nine,
Speaker 1: big wine checks Bob Betts thirty five, I make it ninety,
Speaker 1: guy folds. Bob goes all in. I call, he was
Speaker 1: all in for two something to seventy.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: He goes all in. I call He's got queen Jack
Speaker 1: fop the straight. I bricked out. So I'm left with
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty nine K, and I go to
Speaker 1: dinner with one hundred and seventy K. And then we
Speaker 1: come back from dinner. I was gonna have eleven big minds,
Speaker 1: eleven and change. Big blinds had some work to do. There,
Speaker 1: got a bunch of jams through.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: At the dinner break, I put the poker yeah podcast
Speaker 1: hat on. I was wearing a different hat all day.
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, if there's a time to change,
Speaker 1: it's now. Okay. If there's a time to change, just now,
Speaker 1: So put the hat on. I go back. I shoved.
Speaker 1: I think four hands, that all got through, and then
Speaker 1: I wake up with kings under the gun off sixteen
Speaker 1: like sixteen and a half. Big linds I'm in raised.
Speaker 1: Three people call and I'm just like, just what you want.
Speaker 1: I'm like, can somebody fucking race please just make this
Speaker 1: easy for me because I'm like, I'm gonna go five
Speaker 1: ways to this flop out of position with kings, like
Speaker 1: it's just going to be a nightmare to play. But
Speaker 1: I mean it wouldn't have been the worst because my
Speaker 1: spr would have been super low, so whatever the Monday
Speaker 1: probably just would have went in. But the table chip
Speaker 1: leader decided to raise great. I made it. This was
Speaker 1: a ten K, fifteen K. I made it thirty K.
Speaker 1: Callcall Call guy makes it one hundred K. Like loving
Speaker 1: it gets back to me, I go all for two fifty.
Speaker 1: He ends up calling with East Queen boom king on
Speaker 1: the flop. We hold from there, so let's go. So
Speaker 1: I had that so that with all the with with
Speaker 1: my money and then all the calls and everything, that
Speaker 1: got me up over six hundred thousand, which was good.
Speaker 1: And then at the final break I had five twenty five.
Speaker 1: You know, kind of had a little bit of up
Speaker 1: and down level, you know, got down to like four hundred,
Speaker 1: got back up close to six hundred, and died that
Speaker 1: level with five twenty five, and then they tell us.
Speaker 1: Bob Buckenmeyer tells us. He says, oh, we're going to
Speaker 1: the feature, so that my table is it's I'm on
Speaker 1: my table. Francis Anderston is still there were the only
Speaker 1: two people left from the start of the day. Bob
Speaker 1: Buckenmeyer joints he's you know, plays a whole bunch of stuff,
Speaker 1: plays a lot of wpts, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: Eric afriats at the table, and this guy, Fabrie Bijoux,
Speaker 1: very good French player, very good crusher. He's at the
Speaker 1: table and he's got a lot of chips. He played
Speaker 1: some wild freaking hands today. Wild like there was this
Speaker 1: one hand where this this Asian guy went for it
Speaker 1: on this insane bluff and Fabrice called him with two
Speaker 1: pair and it was an incredible call. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: Bob Buckenmeyer is like, oh, we're going to the feature
Speaker 1: like out of nowhere, with like twenty minutes left in
Speaker 1: the level, and they had announced that we're only going
Speaker 1: to play half of the last level due to the
Speaker 1: length of the bubble. So Francis looks at me and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, we're going to the feature, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know that, and Bob's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: my friends are texting me. So they must have said
Speaker 1: something on air, because then I texted someone and they're like, yes,
Speaker 1: we're moving you guys to the feature, and I said okay.
Speaker 1: So then then the like literally right after that, the
Speaker 1: production crew comes and they do the whole thing, like,
Speaker 1: here are the bio sheets for you guys, here's this,
Speaker 1: or's that. Whatever, you're going the feature. So we're going
Speaker 1: up to the future, which I didn't really want to do,
Speaker 1: but whatever, we go up to the future. On the feature.
Speaker 1: I took five hundred twenty five k up there. I
Speaker 1: three bed jammed pocket nines and it turns out the
Speaker 1: guy folded Ace Queen suited, which seems like an incredibly
Speaker 1: tight fold. I was a little bit indifferent on what
Speaker 1: to do with the nines there. I shoved twenty six
Speaker 1: bigs and I mean I probably could have called. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm for sure never folding. Of course, I probably could
Speaker 1: have called, probably could have raised, and I probably could
Speaker 1: have jammed, maybe not jam, I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: kind of just was like, you know what, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna put it in and if he wants to run
Speaker 1: it fine. I'd rather just you know, realize my equity
Speaker 1: not have to like deal with the cards and whatever
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Plus this guy was new to
Speaker 1: the table, which I think they mentioned on the broadcast
Speaker 1: because I saw it afterwards that like maybe I thought
Speaker 1: that that guy was tight. It was like his second
Speaker 1: hand at the table. He came like after we had
Speaker 1: already been up there. But I will say that he
Speaker 1: he was at it on day three. He was at
Speaker 1: a table like right next to mine, and he was
Speaker 1: like causing a lot of commotion and it seemed like
Speaker 1: he for sure was not a recreational player or sorry,
Speaker 1: it was not a professional player. Now I could have
Speaker 1: that wrong, but that's just my read from literally the
Speaker 1: stuff that was, like it was happening at the other table,
Speaker 1: like he was arguing with people like all this.
Speaker 2: Sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, maybe I can
Speaker 1: just you know, get him her to fold some hands.
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to go with it, and let's
Speaker 1: just let's just go. So I put it in and uh,
Speaker 1: I mean he tanked for a little while. Yeah, nines
Speaker 1: as a raise but not a show, And I just
Speaker 1: went for it. I wonder if for this this is
Speaker 1: this is the part of radio where I'm clicking through
Speaker 1: a solver. Yeah, so that was a mistake, but whatever,
Speaker 1: I guess I won the hands, so I'm not going
Speaker 1: to complain too much about it. But I do think
Speaker 1: that was not my best course of action now that
Speaker 1: I look at it quickly. But I'm just quickly looking
Speaker 1: at it. Maybe things aren't that specific, but yeah, typefold
Speaker 1: by him to fold that he's queen suited, which he
Speaker 1: told me at the end of the day that he
Speaker 1: folded it anyway. I didn't need to see it on
Speaker 1: the broadcast, he told me after we bagged, because he
Speaker 1: asked me what I had. Then same guy raised cut off.
Speaker 1: I flatted in the small blind with Queen jack suited.
Speaker 1: It came Queen four three, but two hearts queen hearts
Speaker 1: four hearts three of whatever. I'm pretty sure that's that
Speaker 1: was the board. I checked.
Speaker 2: He bet.
Speaker 1: I called turn was a black seven. I checked, He
Speaker 1: bet again. I called river was another seven. Flush, I
Speaker 1: was not come in. I checked, and I thought he
Speaker 1: was gonna put me in, and he bet kind of smallish.
Speaker 1: He bet what did he bet? He bet thirty? There
Speaker 1: was one ninety one, ninety one, fifteen two, fifteen thirty
Speaker 1: was it two thirty and one ninety? There was like
Speaker 1: four hundred over four hundred in the pot, and he
Speaker 1: bet one sixty play it two or something? No, he
Speaker 1: bet one. He bet one sixty. It was very small
Speaker 1: compared to the pot, and like he could just put
Speaker 1: me in. He put no, No, he put one purple chip.
Speaker 1: It was one purple chip, two greens and two reds.
Speaker 1: I was like very confused why he bets so small
Speaker 1: because I was like, okay, if I'm going to check
Speaker 1: and he's I mean, maybe he checks back cool and
Speaker 1: I just get the pot, but I'm gonna check if
Speaker 1: he's gonna bet, like he might just put me in,
Speaker 1: like with everything, you know, his value hands is his
Speaker 1: bluffs whatever. And then he went with that small sizing,
Speaker 1: and I was like so confused for a second. I
Speaker 1: was like, what the hell is this fucking sizing. I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, well I'm not folding, especially for this sizing,
Speaker 1: at least with this sizing. If I call on him wrong,
Speaker 1: then you know, I'm not out. You know, it would
Speaker 1: have been I'm pretty sure that I had made my
Speaker 1: mind up that you know, I'm calling clean rivers. So
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to fold it if he went all in,
Speaker 1: but I would would have just probably thought about it,
Speaker 1: you know, of course. I mean I thought about it
Speaker 1: like this, but again, I was thrown for a little
Speaker 1: bit of loop that he went with a small sizing,
Speaker 1: So then I just kind of had to like replay
Speaker 1: in my mind, not the hand necessarily, I was replaying
Speaker 1: the stuff that happened on day three at the other
Speaker 1: table behind us involving him, and I was just trying
Speaker 1: to like, I was trying to make sure that me
Speaker 1: thinking that he might not be like a professional player,
Speaker 1: and listen, maybe he is a professional player and I'm
Speaker 1: just completely off on this, but like my read on
Speaker 1: like his antics and mannerisms and the stuff that he
Speaker 1: was getting into with some people at the table made
Speaker 1: it think like he's like, he doesn't do this for
Speaker 1: a living. So so I was just kind of trying
Speaker 1: to make sure that I was confirmed on that in
Speaker 1: my mind, because the sizing was really weird and I
Speaker 1: didn't think that any like the size this should be
Speaker 1: a So I was just like, you know, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: confident that that's my read on him. So yes, I'm
Speaker 1: calling for sure, Okay, fine, So I called. You know,
Speaker 1: it probably took me a minute or whatever to think
Speaker 1: about it, but I you know, I called, and I
Speaker 1: was also like, if this guy rolls over like ten
Speaker 1: seven of hearts and like backed into trip s evens,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just gonna punch myself in the face.
Speaker 1: He had ten six hearts crush and yeah there was
Speaker 1: that so so nice bluff catch there. And then of course,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, if I just run into it
Speaker 1: and he just has like two kings somehow or he
Speaker 1: has Ace queen or whatever that king, I mean, so
Speaker 1: be it, so be it right. So with that pot,
Speaker 1: I got up to over nine hundred and then I
Speaker 1: raised Ace ten off. Eric Afrey called him position. He
Speaker 1: was on the button. It came Ace high. But all
Speaker 1: clubs check check, Turn was a another club I checked,
Speaker 1: he bet? I called here River was whatever? I checked?
Speaker 1: He bet, and I folded. He showed me the can
Speaker 1: club so he turned them in a flush. I made
Speaker 1: one play that if I didn't care about always being transparent,
Speaker 1: I could easily not say that I did this. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that I did it because I think
Speaker 1: a lot of times I get on your ass about
Speaker 1: being like ridiculously tight, but I did something that was
Speaker 1: I feel like, is like.
Speaker 2: Tight as all hell. Great listening.
Speaker 1: I lost the big pot against Bob Buckenmeyer and I
Speaker 1: was down in chips and I think I had fourteen bigs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had fourteen and a half bigs when this hand happened.
Speaker 1: Bob buccan Meyer raised under the gun and it folds
Speaker 1: to me in the LoJack with fourteen bigs and ace
Speaker 1: Jack suited, and I just folded my hand. I mean,
Speaker 1: I thought about it for like probably too long, am
Speaker 1: I thinking was like, listen, it's completely exploitative in that
Speaker 1: I had not seen Bob Buckemer show up with like
Speaker 1: anybody like he like literally had the best hands all
Speaker 1: the time, Like he had kings, he had this, he
Speaker 1: had that he now he did get his money in
Speaker 1: when he was short, much shorter earlier with the king
Speaker 1: Jack suited. But like I mean, it was just you know,
Speaker 1: the button ras he jammed big bye, like I get it,
Speaker 1: but like him opening early position, I just felt like,
Speaker 1: I feel like this guy is just so nutted. I'm
Speaker 1: just this is just just a stupid spot. So I
Speaker 1: just I was like, I'm not gonna I'm not happy folding.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be happy jamming. If he fucking calls
Speaker 1: me with you know, two kings, I'm gonna be so
Speaker 1: tilted at myself that, like I knew in my mind,
Speaker 1: this player raising from under the gun is like so
Speaker 1: insanely strong, it's out of control. Yeah, so anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was fine and like and then and then later on,
Speaker 1: something that kind of gave me further reassurance was that
Speaker 1: I played a hammer. I opened as nine of clubs
Speaker 1: from early position plus two or sorry, no, I was
Speaker 1: under the gun. Bob calls the button, and the Big
Speaker 1: Blind calls it comes Queen, Queen Queen, which I think
Speaker 1: trip boards like this are always much better for my range.
Speaker 1: So big Bine checks, I bet, Bob calls or sorry,
Speaker 1: Bob raises, I bet twenty k. He makes it fifty k,
Speaker 1: small race. Okay, fine, Big Blind folds. Now I call,
Speaker 1: And the reason why I call is I know that
Speaker 1: that breaks the mold of thinking he's so incredibly tight
Speaker 1: that I should probably just fold there. But I mean,
Speaker 1: he for sure has a lot of pairs here, but
Speaker 1: like maybe it's a pair of eights and I can
Speaker 1: hit a nine. I can at least hit an ace
Speaker 1: for sure. The price is really good. So whatever I'm calling,
Speaker 1: So I call turns a five. It goes check check,
Speaker 1: and then rivers a five and it goes check check,
Speaker 1: and he has two tens. He goes look at Tim
Speaker 1: his face. He goes, He goes, oh, I missed the bet. Yeah, no, shit,
Speaker 1: miss to bed. But like that made me think, like, okay,
Speaker 1: like he is like very tight, like this is you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I was not calling the River by the
Speaker 1: way with even though it was a full hawse on board,
Speaker 1: because yeah, that was a very tight fole that I
Speaker 1: made with the Ahax suited. And hey, maybe I was wrong,
Speaker 1: but I felt like like the hands that he raises
Speaker 1: under the gun that I'm actually like ahead of or
Speaker 1: in good shape, are like so small in the grand
Speaker 1: scheme of the hands that he's raising. So I was
Speaker 1: just like, you know what, I'm just gonna make a
Speaker 1: stupid fold, and I'm gonna fold this. I'm gonna pretend
Speaker 1: that I didn't even see this hand. But you know,
Speaker 1: I end up going on to bag eight hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty five K. So that's all in the past, and
Speaker 1: the only thing that I can worry about now is
Speaker 1: playing the next hand as best as.
Speaker 2: Ships in the bag. So we keep saying that, but.
Speaker 1: I don't even care about that. It's just I just
Speaker 1: want to play the next hand as good as I can,
Speaker 1: and then just hopefully I can keep doing that over
Speaker 1: and over again, compound those hands and keep on going
Speaker 1: something else that I want to talk about again. In
Speaker 1: an effort of being fully transparent, I feel so weird.
Speaker 1: I definitely felt on the end of day three, and
Speaker 1: I think it was because I was doing quite well,
Speaker 1: but then my table got very hard, very quickly. A
Speaker 1: bunch of people busted and the seats were filled by
Speaker 1: some very good players with a ton of chips, and
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to really do anything or function. So
Speaker 1: I was steeling a little bit more pressure on me
Speaker 1: in that moment, especially because we were closing the end
Speaker 1: of the day. Then today we're on the bubble and
Speaker 1: like I'm coming into the today and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is going to be interesting how I maneuvered the bubble,
Speaker 1: because it's either going to be me or Francis that
Speaker 1: are being like the the table captains right and France
Speaker 1: has definitely assumed that role, so I just kind of
Speaker 1: sat back. But then, you know, so I wasn't really
Speaker 1: nervous about getting into the money. You know, I obviously
Speaker 1: could have maneuvered my way, but yeah, I raised full
Speaker 1: did One time during during the whole bubble situation, I
Speaker 1: opened King nine suited short sack jammed on me for
Speaker 1: a hunter k whatever. I folded, but that was it.
Speaker 1: There was another time during hand for hand player, I
Speaker 1: opened and Francis tanked for a while. I opened King
Speaker 1: jack suited. Frances tanked for a while and then folded
Speaker 1: and everyone else fulded two. But that was it. So
Speaker 1: but then, like now, I don't know, like part of
Speaker 1: me says, the best way to describe it is, I
Speaker 1: kind of just feel like dead inside, Like I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm obviously super amped up that I'm in it, but
Speaker 1: like I'm amped up now. Okay, I'm amped up right now,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be amped up like in my car
Speaker 1: ride home, and I'm gonna be amped up probably tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1: But like when I'm actually at the table is what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I don't know, I just feel like
Speaker 1: it's just another regular old poker tournament, which is I
Speaker 1: guess is a good thing to feel.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: You know, like I'm not worried about like going bust
Speaker 1: or like you know whatever, Like I'm not I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just feel fine about everything.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, I felt the same way. So I don't
Speaker 3: know what that means. Does that mean when dead inside?
Speaker 3: Or are we just I mean probably might are we
Speaker 3: just too withered? We might partly be dead inside. We
Speaker 3: might definitely be withered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I like that, Like I'm not like
Speaker 1: freaking out and like sweating and my pulses beating out
Speaker 1: of my neck at the table, like, but I you know,
Speaker 1: I just I feel fine. So so that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: I had some really good table draws today or yesterday,
Speaker 1: I should say, on day four. It got a little
Speaker 1: bit tougher towards the end with the addition of Eric
Speaker 1: Afriot and Fabriese Bijoux was playing really well. I do
Speaker 1: not recognize I think anyone at my table for day five,
Speaker 1: So that's I mean, yes, that's good, but that also
Speaker 1: might be bad. Right, Like I I do kind of
Speaker 1: feel like you where when somebody sits down and I
Speaker 1: know that they're like, I know who they are and
Speaker 1: what they do. I just I know how they're gonna
Speaker 1: probably approached the play, so I can address accordingly. Like
Speaker 1: Eric Afriott, you know, I have a good idea of
Speaker 1: how he plays. You know, I've obviously he's played and
Speaker 1: won a bazillion WPT events, so I know. But by
Speaker 1: the way, you know, this is his first ever WSP
Speaker 1: made him in cash. He's never cashed this thing. Said okay,
Speaker 1: Francis Anderson. I mean I play with him a lot
Speaker 1: around towns. I know how he plays. I actually played
Speaker 1: with Fabris Bijou last summer or two summers ago one
Speaker 1: or the other, so I had a good idea of
Speaker 1: how he played. I actually played with him. I might
Speaker 1: have actually played with them both summers. I played with
Speaker 1: them in two different tournaments, so I have I had
Speaker 1: a good idea of how he played. I don't think
Speaker 1: he remembered playing with me, so that gave me some
Speaker 1: assistance there. But what I was saying is that, like you,
Speaker 1: I say, I don't recognize anyone, but they could be
Speaker 1: freaking crush us for all I know, Like they could
Speaker 1: they could be really good. I definitely recognize that there
Speaker 1: are certainly better players than me in the field, which
Speaker 1: I think it's important to recognize that, because I don't
Speaker 1: think you should go into something like this being like
Speaker 1: I'm the best player in the field and whatever. But
Speaker 1: I'm also very comfortable, like, might I get out played
Speaker 1: in spots? Okay, sure, fine, Might I get bluffed? Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, Might I bluff some people? Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: I mean that's just how poker is, right. I think
Speaker 1: Daniel mcgroond said it in one of his vlogs, Are
Speaker 1: Somewhere or whatever. But like, if you don't never getting
Speaker 1: bluffed and in poker, you're probably doing something wrong or
Speaker 1: you're or if your bluffs aren't working, like you might
Speaker 1: be doing something wrong, right, like you know you sometimes
Speaker 1: stuff's just not going to work out. So yeah, overall,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much just at peace with how everything is
Speaker 1: going and hopefully it just continues, you know, one hand
Speaker 1: at a time. Ultimately, try and just put chips in
Speaker 1: the bag. Today was a Today was a double checkpoint day. Okay,
Speaker 1: first checkpoint, getting the money, second checkpoint, get to the
Speaker 1: bag right. Tomorrow is just a single checkpoint day. Just
Speaker 1: get to the back, you know, just try and play
Speaker 1: every single hand the best you can. Hopefully at the
Speaker 1: end of it all, you're putting chips in the bag
Speaker 1: and let's go from there. This podcast is also brought

Speaker 1: all right, what else we got?
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna wrap up some events to get
Speaker 3: out of here as quickly as we can. It is
Speaker 3: two seventeen am, six am on Wednesday. Five K Turbo
Speaker 3: got to a winner. Nataniel Stern took that down twelve
Speaker 3: Nathaniel ste I.
Speaker 1: Thought you said, Daniel Stern I was.
Speaker 3: Like twelve hundred and eighty three entries. He took home
Speaker 3: six hundred and eighteen k for first. Justin Forcett won
Speaker 3: the six hundred dollars ultra stack field massive shoutout massive
Speaker 3: field of seven fifty seven. He won three hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty five K today fifty K high roller kicked off
Speaker 3: very big field one hundred and ninety four entrance seventy
Speaker 3: eight remaining Masashi Oya chip leader. But I want to
Speaker 3: tell you about a hand because I know you have
Speaker 3: no idea this happened.
Speaker 2: You're too busy.
Speaker 1: Put in Japanese playing Ryan Feldman. I saw it on till.
Speaker 3: All right, so let's run through this really quickly. Japanese
Speaker 3: player named, uh, where's it? Motoki Gino? So the board
Speaker 3: was ten six five four, He had bet and then
Speaker 3: he's upon almost med checked dot raised only with pocket queens.
Speaker 3: I believe Gino really wasn't acting doing anything, you know,
Speaker 3: look like he acknowledge the bet. The dealers counting down
Speaker 3: the time. Basically all these time extensions expired, took them all.
Speaker 3: Dealer grabbed his cards to fall, but Gino was kind
Speaker 3: of confused. Thought his opponent was thinking not you know
Speaker 3: he and then he said I raised, I had raised
Speaker 3: because no, he had re raised you all in So
Speaker 3: his hand was declared dead. Smith took the part and
Speaker 3: I believe he showed his Smith had six queens and
Speaker 3: Gino had pucker six's for a fop sets, so most
Speaker 3: likely would have eliminated Smith. And then he went on
Speaker 3: till he started playing lots of hands. He busted Alex
Speaker 3: Foxon with jack six and then he ended up busting
Speaker 3: But that was a pretty kind of unfortunate moment for
Speaker 3: poor old Gino there in the fifty K.
Speaker 2: I roller a lot of money to make that kind
Speaker 2: of mistake.
Speaker 1: Wild stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, seventy eight players remaining.
Speaker 3: There were still two hours of late registration in that
Speaker 3: main Cabrell fourth in chips ws to be Player of
Speaker 3: the year. Sweats are still on Phil Sternheimer's in Sean
Speaker 3: Deeves in. Obviously they're in contention for Player of the year.
Speaker 3: Obviously Sean is leading. But this is a big field.
Speaker 3: Two hours of registration this fields.
Speaker 1: It was one seventy last year.
Speaker 2: Two fifteen.
Speaker 1: It was one seventy last year. Yeah, so they've already had.
Speaker 3: Of it two fifteen, I think, sure, I don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe more so.
Speaker 2: That is the fifty k update.
Speaker 3: A couple of other events kicked off around the Horseshoe,
Speaker 3: but there's no updates so not. I don't really have
Speaker 3: too much. But there's the three K Mistakes Championship. That
Speaker 3: was Day one A one B is on Thursday, July tenth.
Speaker 3: According to pocon news, looks like Andrew Ye not Andrew
Speaker 3: Ya is the chip leader three hundred and fifty K.
Speaker 3: We had the one K Mystery Bownie p LO Day
Speaker 3: one B today, So we had Day one A yesterday,
Speaker 3: Day one B today, Day one A. I think we
Speaker 3: touched on a little bit yesterday, but Day one B
Speaker 3: we got Pai Lee Chip one of the chip leaders.
Speaker 3: We got Noel Rodriguez up there. But this is a
Speaker 3: pretty pretty big field and eighty four entrants down to
Speaker 3: seven ninety two all come back on Thursday. Miss bounties
Speaker 3: are in effect. They have not I don't believe announced
Speaker 3: the bounties yet. So we could probably see at least
Speaker 3: one hundred K, could we. I wonder if we'll get
Speaker 3: to even get anything.
Speaker 2: More than that. But that's kind of what's happened today.
Speaker 3: Starting tomorrow, late registration in the fifty K Day one
Speaker 3: B of the three K mid Stakes Championship, and then
Speaker 3: we have Day one A the seven seven seven Lucky Sevens,
Speaker 3: and we also have the fifteen hundred plos six max
Speaker 3: so tuningw Events two restarts, kicking off Thursday, July tenth plus,
Speaker 3: obviously the most important Day five of the WSP main
Speaker 3: event for this guy. Continuing main event trend, going quickly,
Speaker 3: get to some community cards. Do you remember the gentleman
Speaker 3: we met as we were going to take our seats.
Speaker 3: I really want to say it was Andrew, but I
Speaker 3: don't think it was.
Speaker 2: No. We met someone. He was right here, right here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember his name.
Speaker 3: We're bad, We're bad. When then he asked for how well,
Speaker 3: so we will apologize. We were trying to make our
Speaker 3: way to our seats, so we were not, you know,
Speaker 3: ready to take your name and have a chat. But
Speaker 3: thanks for stopping by it, Thank you for listening. Mike Lagas,
Speaker 3: who I played with yesterday, mentioned him He bagged like
Speaker 3: twenty four k. I put a hat on his chip
Speaker 3: stack then went to play twenty four k, so he
Speaker 3: was very short. He ended up laddering up to thirteenth,
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty second place, so that's pretty good
Speaker 3: from him. He cashed for fifteen K. Michael Welsh from Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: who had been kind of talking about eleven hundred and
Speaker 3: third place, seventeen thy five hundred and then the man
Speaker 3: that has let me down has basically called me a liar.
Speaker 3: Justin Zaki, who was supposed to ascend the pyramid to
Speaker 3: fifth place, did not ascend the pyramid.
Speaker 1: I saw him walking out.
Speaker 3: Yea, he finished eight hundred and thirty first, but twenty
Speaker 3: two to five. I'm going to screen record a video
Speaker 3: and send it to a producer rich for Timputt here.
Speaker 3: But every time Justin Zaki had posted like a chip
Speaker 3: stack on his Instagram, I would send him what I
Speaker 3: hope you under stands was a pyramid. Now, if you
Speaker 3: go to your iPhone message and you type in pyramid,
Speaker 3: there's no thing, so you have to type in triangle.
Speaker 3: There's lots of triangles, but there's a yellow triangle that
Speaker 3: looks basically like a construction sign. So I was just
Speaker 3: sending him construction signs every time he made it like
Speaker 3: a chip camp post, and he would like it every time.
Speaker 3: I really wanted this to get all the way to
Speaker 3: the fine table, but it didn't happen. He is out
Speaker 3: eight hundred and thirty fifth first place and last but
Speaker 3: not least. Kevin Butler still in. He's got seventeen bigs.
Speaker 3: Finished two hundred and ninety ninth last year with the
Speaker 3: hat for forty five k, so he is he's making
Speaker 3: a run a top and two. You know, he told
Speaker 3: me he wants to beat last year's when I saw
Speaker 3: him one day one. So he is in position seventeen
Speaker 3: bigs in a dream. We will most likely get under
Speaker 3: two hundred ninety nine players tomorrow. So if he puts
Speaker 3: chips in a bag, he's going to accomplish that goal.
Speaker 2: So good luck to you, Kevin, Good luck to you.
Speaker 3: Donny's to twenty three am than he's tiving to going.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, let's wrap it up. I'm pretty pumped
Speaker 1: up though, making day four. It's my fourth time playing
Speaker 1: the WISP main event. Sorry, yeah, this is my fourth
Speaker 1: time playing the Dewis event. I made day four. My
Speaker 1: lucky number is four. It's not very how many times
Speaker 1: I folded. I folded Pocket Force four times today, by
Speaker 1: the way, pre flop once three of them were under
Speaker 1: the gun. So yeah, there's that, all right? Cool. He'ston Duckworth.
Speaker 1: I'm Donnie Peters, and we will talk to you guys
Speaker 1: next
