So let's go babe, 90 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.920 all right, Thomas Boyvon. I was told it was Boyvon. 91 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:56.160 I said boyvn always until Jeff said that Thomas Boyvon 92 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.639 corrected him, So now I gotta say it Boyvon. 93 00:04:59.319 --> 00:04:59.920 So fancy. 94 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.639 Yeah, I mean, I don't know what I'm doing. That's 95 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.399 probably wrong too. He leads the two hundred and fifty 96 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.639 k Super high Roller. Eight players remain. Boyvant has a 97 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.720 big lead twenty five million. Ben Tolering in second with 98 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.680 fifteen point four million, Alex Fox and third. Alex Foxton 99 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.560 won this event before he did fourteen point five million. 100 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.519 Seth Davies Our boy, Let's go, Let's go Bebe. Let's 101 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.759 go set the Bebe TP team DPMD. He's got ten million. 102 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.319 Bryn Kenny's there, David Peters is there, Martin Cabrell is there, 103 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.319 and Chris Brewer. Martin Cabron, Chris Brewer. Chris Brewer also 104 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.079 won this event before. Chris, Martin Cabrell and Chris Brewer 105 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.839 two of the shortest stacks remaining. They are guaranteed five 106 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.959 hundred and eighty one thousand dollars up top north of 107 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.800 four point seven five million, sixty three entries in this 108 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.480 one this year, so down a bit, you know, I 109 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.800 know it's only down twelve entries from last year. But 110 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.800 when the field is as you know, small as this, 111 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.879 as exclusive as this, then it is a good percentage, right, 112 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.079 So why what gives? I mean, you're you're, you're the 113 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.519 stack guy, the numbers guy, you talked to all these players. 114 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.480 This is a PGT event, right, So what why is 115 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:10.879 it down? 116 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.399 I think the big thing is that just standard WSOP variants. 117 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.800 What I mean by that is we had a lot 118 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.439 of people still in the big O. You know, we 119 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.040 look at the we're going to look at the fire table, 120 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.519 talk about that next, but there's a player on that 121 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.120 that's probably going to be good for a bullet in 122 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.319 this maybe two. So that happened a lot. You know, 123 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.600 we had Nick Shuman play the Big O or he 124 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.079 was able to get one, but I'm must say Nick 125 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.160 Shulan was going to get multiple bullets in, but he 126 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.639 got in very late. So it does limit the chance 127 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.600 for the entries to go up. And we saw that 128 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.000 kind of across the board also, we touched on it yesterday. 129 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.560 A lot of names that we would expect to be 130 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.120 in this event, not in town, not here, Charlie Hook, 131 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.240 Bill Perkins, Vinny Langham, Brandon Steven, Kathy Laney, David Ironhorn, 132 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.319 you know, Kerry Shats Carry Katz Chamath, but I think 133 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.959 Sam several played. But you know, that's ten people there 134 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.920 that might be say twelve entrants, which is you know, 135 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.600 that puts us right back at seventy five that we 136 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.519 had lost here. So there's a bit of that. And look, yeah, 137 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.720 like you said, when there's a small field size of 138 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.839 seventy five, you know, eighty entrance is what you're kind 139 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.959 of targeting. You know, having twelve playing other events or 140 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.839 not in town is going to make a pretty big difference. 141 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.519 And it's kind of the tough things about these super 142 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.879 high buy in high stakes events. 143 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.199 Yeah, I thought the field in this one was pretty tough, 144 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.360 not that it hasn't been tough in past years, but 145 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.240 I feel like some people might have sat out on 146 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.199 the sidelines because of how tough it was, you know, 147 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.959 So there's that, you know, like last year you had 148 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.480 a guy like David Coleman, for example, took a shot. 149 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:48.680 This year didn't take a shot. 150 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.800 Yeah, So is it just planning on it though, Yeah, but. 151 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.759 You know, and maybe he looked around and said, you 152 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.160 know what a little tough there, So I'm just not 153 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.240 going to do it. And that's understandable. I mean, the 154 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.680 field did see very very very tough out there, and 155 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.240 this one, of course, you have that kind of variance 156 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.079 with things with just people getting stuck in other tournaments, 157 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.000 you know, like Nick Shulman's an example. Yeah, he got 158 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.399 a late start, and I agree with you. You know, 159 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.839 it's not to say that Nick Schulman doesn't put ere 160 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.800 is guarantee to put multiple bolts in this with two 161 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.360 bolts allowed. But let's say he gets in and then 162 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.839 he busts someone that could then enter. So it's a 163 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:25.319 whole butterfly effect of things with people not getting in there. 164 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.399 So nevertheless, still a very very good event. As I 165 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.959 said earlier at the top of the show, I would 166 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.440 highly encourage you guys to go find this live stream 167 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.639 on PokerGO dot com on the Poker YouTube channel if 168 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.600 you missed it, and check it out because it was 169 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.200 a lot of fun. The Final Table will be live 170 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.440 streaming on Tuesday. Stream begins at eight eastern five Pacific, 171 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.279 so check that out as well. Jeff Platt and Brent 172 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.440 Hanks on the call, Natalie Body on sidelines. I do 173 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.679 want to hit on this hand from David Peters that 174 00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.480 I think was the hand of the Summer by far, 175 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.440 by far, so absolutely incredible stuff. I'll allow Rich Ryan 176 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.200 producer Rich to he can drop the highlight video here 177 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:13.120 the clip YEP for video, and then we can walk 178 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.720 through it and the audio version. How about that seems 179 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.200 pretty simple. 180 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.360 I don't know much about his hands, so I'm going 181 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.320 to be listening closely. There you go. 182 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.039 So if I remember correctly, and this is going to 183 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.200 be horrible for me, butchering it for the audio. But 184 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.919 it went raise under the Gun from Martin Cabrel. This 185 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.720 they were playing two hundred thousand and this was the 186 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.600 stone Cold Bubble. Eleven players left. If you bust here, 187 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.399 you're out. There are bucks if you get through five 188 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.720 hundred and sixteen thousand dollars pay day. Some players were 189 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.039 in for two bullets for five hundred k. Some players 190 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.799 like Daniel Legrand, who were in for one bullet two hundred. 191 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:51.000 And fifty k. 192 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.679 So Martin Cabrell opens under the Gun. He had ten 193 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.840 eight of hearts. Now he wasn't the chip leader at 194 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.879 this table, it was Ben Tolering, and there was a 195 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.399 short stack at the other they're playing hand for hand. 196 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.360 There's a short steck at the other table. Andrew Lucky 197 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.320 Chewy Lichtenberger. But Cabrel, he was kind of acting like 198 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.600 the chip leader at this table, you know, acting like 199 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.679 the table captain. So he opens under the gun. Nigranu 200 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.559 flat calls in the cutoff seat with ace jack of diamonds, 201 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.000 and then it gets over to David Peters in the 202 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.799 big blind. He's got ace jack offsuit. He calls the 203 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:26.000 flop comes jack eight eight with two spades, so two 204 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.360 pair for both Negranu and Peters. But Martin Cabrell with 205 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.600 the ten eight flops trip eights. Also worth noting is 206 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.720 it's jack eight eight with two spades and one diamond. 207 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:38.879 So Nigranhu has ace jack of diamonds, so he's got 208 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.279 two pair backdoor diamonds, okay. And then Peters has the 209 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.440 ace of spades in his hand, so he's got two 210 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:49.399 pair back door spades possible. Peters checks, Cabrell continues for 211 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.799 the stone minimum to two hundred k negran New calls. 212 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.679 Now Peters makes it seven hundred and fifty k Cabrel 213 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.919 and this could have this probably saved you a bit. 214 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.600 He decides the three bet it. He makes it one 215 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.320 point four to two five million. That allows Nigraner to 216 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.919 get out. Will they quick fold from him? Peters takes 217 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.519 some time. He makes the call three of spades. On 218 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:17.360 the turn, both players check River is a nine, and 219 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.200 this is where things got crazy. So Peters checks and 220 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.120 there was I believe four and a half million in 221 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.360 the middle. Martin Cabrell takes his time and the bets 222 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:32.919 two million again stone cold bubble. Now, if you watch 223 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.639 this one play out, you know again, go find the 224 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.240 clip on the poker go x account, or if you're 225 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.159 going to rewatch the stream, you can see it in there. 226 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.679 But the other table's done playing, so all the players 227 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.879 are over watching like there's a big crowd around because 228 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.720 Daniel's at the table like it's you know, pretty dramatic 229 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.440 and how it's all unfolding and Cabrel so he bets 230 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.399 two million. Peters takes a while and then check jams 231 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:09.559 all in. Oh oh no, oh, my gosh, I. 232 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.399 Mean this is sick. 233 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.559 If you're Martin Cabrell leveraging a couple of things here 234 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.559 one he's got the Acis spades in his hand, blocking 235 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.000 the nut flesh for his opponent. Also that Jack does 236 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.360 play that it can block some full houses from your opponent. 237 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.279 You know, if Cabrel is opening ten to eight suited, 238 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.080 then he's probably opening Jack nine suited for example. You 239 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.840 know he's definitely opening pocket Jack's yes, so also Jack 240 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.200 nine because you know a nine on the river. So 241 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.960 so like there's there's some stuff here that he's interacting 242 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.879 with which I like. And Peter's just absolutely I mean, 243 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.759 puts his nuts on the table and says you got it, 244 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.720 you got it man, and Cabrel folds and I mean 245 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:50.240 it was it was electric. The chat went nuts, Jet 246 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.120 Platt shot up out of his seat next to me. 247 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.879 Just absolutely incredible stuff. That was the hand of the summer. 248 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.799 Just wild, wild, wild stuff from David Peers. He did 249 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.679 not show. He should have said, say my name Martin, 250 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.120 but he definitely he didn't. He also could have showed, 251 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.120 and I think Martin would have lost his freaking mind. 252 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:16.480 But just absolutely grade a stuff from David Peters. Another 253 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.200 funny situation that happened. It happened before the money bubble, 254 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.840 but at one point and listen pardon my language, but 255 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.879 I'm just quoting here. Nick Schulman called Martin Cabrell a 256 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:33.240 pussy on show on stream. I what is going on 257 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:33.840 out there? 258 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:35.120 What do you do? 259 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.840 I mean, he was just being Martin Cabrell. So you know, Nick, 260 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.720 I think just kind of had enough of it, just 261 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.480 just went at him. So yeah, the Martin Cabrell Show 262 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.840 was in full effect. Now I gotta ask. I was 263 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.879 going to ask this anyway, Okay, knowing that Martin Cabrell 264 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.879 made the final table here and all the antics not 265 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.200 only that we saw today, but throughout his entire time 266 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.600 at this World Series, at the World Series every single year, 267 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.720 and in all the events that he ever plays. But 268 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.200 I also saw that Poker News wrote about it. They 269 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.879 had an op ed up. Is Martin Cabrell? Are his 270 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:15.639 antics good for the game? What say you? No? 271 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:15.759 No? 272 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.159 Oh my god? 273 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:22.399 Why they're annoying. They're annoying to me. They're annoying to 274 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:27.799 the players, and I don't like it. I mean, I 275 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.919 don't know if I have to disagree. Look, it's the 276 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.879 players definitely don't enjoy it. They find some things funny, 277 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.320 but I think the majority of the time they're miserable. 278 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.679 You just watch Chris Brewer hiding under his hoodie, as. 279 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:42.000 He said, and he's fine with it. 280 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:46.240 He seems fine, but it also times feels like he 281 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.360 wants to kill someone. I don't know if the general 282 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.000 public that are watching, either on the rail or at home, 283 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:58.000 enjoy the Marderin Corbrell Show or I hate watching the 284 00:14:58.039 --> 00:14:59.000 Martin Corbrell Show. 285 00:14:59.360 --> 00:14:59.679 Both. 286 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.840 Sure, but I don't think it's great. But you know, 287 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.679 he's not really doing anything out of line, is he 288 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.720 He's not really he's flooting with that line, but he's 289 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:15.879 not sinking below it, so it's kind of within the rules. 290 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.639 I'm just not a big fan of it, that's all. 291 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.360 Yeah. I think they're they're good for the game, you know. 292 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.519 I I think he certainly makes it entertaining. He brings 293 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.720 a very wacky, a very chaotic, unorthodox element to these 294 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.440 high rollers that you don't normally see. A lot of 295 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.120 these guys when they play are hyper focused. You know, 296 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.919 we joke that they are robots and that's how they act. 297 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.399 But you know, again, because they are just so hyper 298 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.120 focused on everything, and Martin just throws a big wrench 299 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:48.279 into all of that. 300 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:48.879 Yep. 301 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:53.320 I even think that, you know, for now, I think 302 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.799 the hardcore poker fans probably dislike it. You know, there's 303 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.639 probably a percentage of them that like it, Yes, there's 304 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.080 probably I would say a larger percentage that dislike it. 305 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.240 I say, the more common poker fan, somebody not as hardcore, 306 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.559 a little bit more fringe. And then even extending beyond 307 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.600 to people that are like just kind of like new 308 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.759 to watching poker or whatever. I think they probably think 309 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:22.399 Martin's wildly entertaining. Now I think that's good for poker. 310 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.080 I mean I when I'm on commentary, I see in 311 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.559 the chats NonStop, you get these high rollers and it's 312 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.639 just like, this is boring. This is boring, this is boring. 313 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.200 I mean live poker watching it. It takes you know, 314 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.519 a certain level of being a hardcore fan, being a 315 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.360 diehard to really watch every single hand. So you constantly 316 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.200 see the complaints that it's boring, it's boring, it's boring, 317 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.480 these players are boring. You know, where's the table talk 318 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.960 all this sort of stuff, And you get some of 319 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.320 that on the other side when you have someone like Martin. 320 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.600 But ultimately, I think that a lot of people were 321 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:58.679 watching laughing, you know, both with him and at him. 322 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.639 I also think that the audience likes the fact that 323 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.400 other players kind of go at him, Like I think, 324 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.279 at this at this level of poker, a tun und 325 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.640 fifty k super high roll or also like hunter K's 326 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.400 fifty k's, et cetera, those players aren't scared to kind 327 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.039 of go back at him, you know, have their banter. 328 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.240 You know, we had Negron New the other day. I 329 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.119 know he wasn't in the tournament that Cabrell was in, 330 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.000 but he was yelling from the final table like can 331 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.039 you shut the f up over there? You know, they 332 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:25.480 kind of go at him. He was saying the other 333 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.440 day like can I kick you in the teeth or 334 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:29.880 something like that. You know, Bryn Kenney goes at him 335 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.079 at times. Nick Schulman obviously calling him a pussy today, 336 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.000 you know on the stream. So there's there's a lot 337 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:39.519 of going back and forth with Cabrel. Now when Cabrell 338 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.799 is a Cabrell acts like this all the time in tournaments. 339 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.519 It doesn't matter if it's this buying or a much 340 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.240 smaller buying, and he just played much smaller buyings. The 341 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:48.440 much smaller buyings. I think people are kind of like, 342 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.240 you know, kind of taking aback the whole thing, and 343 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:54.599 they don't know how to act against him. But overall, 344 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.839 I think it's I think it's good for poker because 345 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:02.079 it's entertaining. I would probably say that Martin Cabrell's act 346 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.119 is better for poker than Phil Helmy's act is better 347 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:09.079 for as good for poker because Phil. Every time Phil 348 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.759 has an act, it's like degrading to the other person, 349 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.480 always like calling him an idiot. These people don't know 350 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.480 how to spell poker, this, that and the other thing, 351 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:23.680 like he's always looking negative. Cabrel is, Yes, he is 352 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.119 walking that line, you know a lot of times with 353 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.200 I mean he's one, he's walking the line with like 354 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.359 how far he can press you? Right, He's like constantly annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, 355 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.079 you know. I mean, he's the guy who puts his 356 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.599 finger like right next to your face but ultimately doesn't 357 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.640 touch your face. And then if you if you were 358 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:40.400 to grab my finger, I'd say, like, why'd you grab 359 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.200 my finger? I didn't ever touch you, you know, But 360 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.319 he's got his finger right here, like that's that's Martin Cabrell, right, 361 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:47.599 whereas Still is just like, no, you're an idiot from 362 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.480 northern Europe and you shouldn't be here doing this. You 363 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.000 don't know how to spell poker, this, that and the 364 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.880 other thing, which you know. I think that's ultimately worse 365 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.440 for poker. Why do you want to be berated if 366 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:56.880 you're playing? 367 00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:57.039 Now? 368 00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:58.960 I know some people that's kind of like a little 369 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.960 trophy that you want to get, be rated by Phil Hammouth. 370 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.079 But now I will also say that I know that 371 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.440 Martin has come with his fair share of controversy in 372 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.039 the past. You know, there are things out there that 373 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.839 players say, they come at him, you know, they kind 374 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.880 of question him at times like today up there, the 375 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:17.680 big thing was that he wasn't showing his cards. The 376 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:19.519 dealers had to keep telling him to show his cards, 377 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.240 like it's just like this whole thing, right. So I 378 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.319 understand that there is that part of it, but I 379 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.720 think overall it's probably good for poker and the w 380 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.839 s AP that he acts this way because it gives 381 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.240 some color to the game. And if we're going to 382 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:35.920 allow Phil Hammuth to be the colorful character that he is, 383 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.599 and people are going to applaud him for the way 384 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.400 that he is and say that what Phil hammyth does 385 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.960 is ultimately good for poker because it draws in more 386 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.400 fringe poker fans to want to be entertained by the 387 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.119 game and come in. Then I think we can only 388 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.559 say the same for Martin Cabrell. I mean that that's 389 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.720 my stance on it. So now I also say that 390 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.640 I've never played with Martin Cabrell. I haven't been there 391 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.319 at the table, right, so maybe I do get annoyed 392 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.119 by it, But I mean players are going to be 393 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.359 annoying and you have to kind of get through that 394 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:13.640 in poker, like you have to be able to deal 395 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:15.799 with I've played with plenty of annoying people. Now they're 396 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.759 not Martin Kappel specifically, but you know, there are times 397 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.039 when there are plenty of annoying people at the poker 398 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:22.920 table and you don't you don't really want to deal 399 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.599 with them, but you do and you can't let them 400 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:28.480 affect you and throw you off your game and you know, 401 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:31.799
