Then you verify an email, you get up to twenty five. Well,
it doesn't matter. You can get a free hundred k
if you go to play pokerg dot com slash podcast.
I'm gonna be playing in there pretty much every single day.
I'll you know, I get in there for let's say
twenty to thirty minutes. You know, I don't have a
ton of time during the World Series of Poker, but
I do hop in there pretty regularly. Just look for
Poker Go Donnie. It has my face as the avatar. Yeah,
I'm that freaking cool. So get in there. Let's have
some fun. Let's play some big pots. They have high
stakes poker themed tables. They have no gamble, no future
themed sit and goes, so a lot of fun mix
it up on Play Poker Go. First big news of
the day we got Scott Clements picking up his fourth
WSP Gold Bracelet, proving yet again just how good of
an Omaha player he is. He wins the ten thousand
dollars buy in Omaha High Low Championship, taking home four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, not his largest ever live
tournament score, but his largest WSP scorp ever for Clements
first live tournament cash since October twenty twenty five, so
it's been a minute for mister Clements. Now in this
very event, he had some interesting results. He's come close
to winning the bracelet in the ten k Omaha eight
Championship before. Back in two thousand and nine, Clements got
second in this event when Daniel Allah he won it.
Now in twenty fifteen, he got fourth. Coincidentally, Daniel Olahi
also won it that year. That's kind of crazy. Clements's
other bracelets to include. His first one came in two
thousand and six he won the three k Omaha High
Low Split Tournament for three hundred and one thousand dollars.
Then in two thousand and seven he won a fifteen
hundred dollars Buying Plo tournament for one hundred and ninety
four k. Big gap between his second and third race.
So the next one came in twenty nineteen when he
won the fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice for one hundred
and forty five thousand dollars. Clements is first on the
WSP all time moneyless for Omaha High Low. I do
not think that this four hundred and fifty thousand dollars
score is yet included into those stats, so he's only
going to extend that lead. If I remember correctly, I
think Elliot Lezra is in second, so Clement's going to
widen that gap a little bit. There a very stacked
final table in this one. This was a seven handed tournament.
You had Dylan Wiseman finishing in second place. You had
Todd Brunson finishing in third place. James Ops got fourth,
Nam Lee fifth, Bryan Bambrick in sixth. Bryan Bambrick won
this tournament last year, was trying to go back to back.
So first place last year, sixth places this year, that's
pretty freaking incredible. And then you got Phil Helmuth, mister
gold bracelets himself has seventeen of them, was in line
to get number eighteen. He was making his record extending
seventy six WSP final table. Ultimately fell shorts. Not really
the blow up that we were hoping for. You know,
it kind of looked like maybe there might be a
blow up.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I was right there when he busted out, Phil help
me did the whole stand up thing. You know, it
kind of looked like, okay, it's coming, like the blow
up's coming. But ultimately he kind of collected himself. He
was gracious in defeat. He shook everyone's hand and he
said good luck. He moved on, but we did grab
him right afterward. I heard him say that he didn't
deserve that one, so I wanted to ask him about
it right afterwards, and I had Antonio breakout. Mike cameraman
right next to me and h you know, we turn
the camera on. We stopped Phil and I mean, as
you can expect, it was freaking gold.
Speaker 2: Deserve is a really bad word because I'm rich, I'm famous,
have everything, But I watch everybody play so poorly for
so long. It was just stunning. I mean they just
got away with murder against me. It's like, but you
know what, like I mean, like from a from a
poker perspective, I did not deserve to go. They were like,
I don't want to talk about who were but there
was there's some really bad play there and uh, and
they just don't understand the game. It reminds me of
no limit hold them when I'd finished fourth or fifth
and I'd watch everybody play bad. Not to say that
there's a couple of guys playing really good in there,
but like it's just and then I get all on
one time all day. I flopped top two and they
got check raises me with like a low draw and
a flush straw, like I mean, we're getting it all
in regardless, and then what he just turns a flush
like I mean, Dylan's just running out of his mind.
Good And so yeah, I don't deserve to be out.
From a poker perspective.
Speaker 1: Does a finish like that seventh place only make you
hungerer going forward?
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't. I guess I didn't realize how that
they still play that, that they that they don't understand
olmaher about her, Like it's I've been watching for two
days of all these pros misplaying the game, and it's
you know, and I don't know, maybe I thought it
was my time. I mean, like I always thought it
when omaher about her, And now I have a second,
a fifth, a third, like a lot of close finishes,
and it just feels like but I mean, the good
thing is like if there's anybody talking about how good
I am at poker, you know, I mean against this field,
I was just I'm supposed to do better, and it's
just like there's nothing I can do. Like I mean,
like I think they beat Asis four times in a
row and it's hard to do that, you know, And
and so yeah, I deserve better from a poker perspective,
but I am rich and famous, so yeah, and I
don't know, I mean, maybe I'll just win the next
turnament out of the box. I'm really grooved. And but
I mean I'm just just a little stunned. Come on,
it just it's just not supposed to.
Speaker 1: Come down like this. He's rich, he's famous, he's got
everything in life. I mean, just an absolutely ridiculous interview
of course, and what you guys didn't get out of
that interview, so so right beforehand, and if you go
to the poker go social media accounts, whether you go
on Twitter, whether you go on Instagram, you'll see that
we have some video footage to go along with the interview.
And at one point after his bust out, he stops
to sign an empty bag of Eminem's, like an eminem rapper,
like somebody gave it to him, they asked him to
sign it. He sat down, he signed it. Then that's
when he got up and he hopped into that short,
short interview with us. I mean, it's just it's absolutely
always gold. When you speak to Phil Helmuth, you can
just tell it's gonna be it's gonna be a fun summer.
If he's making final tables and he's going deep like this.
But ultimately, you know, falling short there. But you know,
two days now, where we had Scott sever finished in
third place, Nick Schulman finished in second place. That was
both in the fifteen hundred dollars Badugie event. Both of
them were going for bracelet number eight Here we have
Phil Helmuth in line to get bracelet number eighteen. He
ultimately finishes in seventh place at what was an incredibly
stacked final table. As I mentioned, you know, Ryan Pambrick
was going for back to back titles in this event.
You got Dylan Wiseman finishing in second place, Todd Brunson
trying to do it, he finished in third. So I mean,
this has been a pretty sick two days of poker,
and if it keeps up like this throughout the summer,
we are in for a real treat as poker fans.
Dimitar Danchev over in the twenty five k Heads Up Championship.
He tops a field of one hundred and twenty eight
entries to win eight hundred thousand dollars his second career
gold bracelet. This tournament is the one where they they
doubled the starting fights and then therefore they doubled the
price bowl and they doubled the number of entries. So
pretty sick to see one hundred and twenty eight entries
ponied up for the twenty five K Heads Up Championship. Now,
of course some of those were re entries because you
could play both starting fights. If you busted one A,
you can play one B. But still, you know, getting
one hundred and twenty eight entries for a twenty five
K buying heads up tournament is pretty awesome. Dan Chev
tops them all. I mentioned it was his second career
gold braser. The other one that he won his first
career gold brace that came back in twenty twenty two.
It wasn't online one, but he won the ten K
Heads Up on Online Championship as part of the w
SIP series on GG poker. In that tournament, dan Chev
won three hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars. So I
guess dan Chev is just the sickest heads up player
in the world. To go through a ten K heads
Up online tournament win a bracelet, and then to go
through this one hundred and twenty eight entry field twenty
five K by and live tournament, those are two pretty
pretty sick bracelet wins for your first two bracelets. Along
the way from start to finish, Dantev went through Ian Bromfield,
Christopher win Killian Desnos Florian, pesh Abao, Ding Ryot, and
Kai and then finally Nikita, who's nets off. This was
a PGT qualifying event. Dan Chev took home four hundred
and eighty PGT points to go along with the eight
hundred thousand dollars first place prize and the WSP gold bracelets.
The Mini Mystery Millions tournament wrapped up. Talked about this
one on the last episode of the podcast. But twenty thousand,
four hundred and eighty eight entries just a giant feel
five hundred and fifty dollars bye, and you had people
winning million dollar bounties, two hundred and fifty K bounties,
one hundred K bounties. I talked about all those bounty
winners on the last episode. The million dollar boundy winner
was Andrew Shelton. But here we are focusing on the
winner of the entire tournament, Philip Chun. He topped all
twenty four hundred and eighty eight of those entries to
win four hundred and thousand dollars. He advanced from the
final starting flight the day one e flight, and he
also never got a gold chest trophy, sorry, not a trophy,
but never pulled a gold chest which you know would
have allowed him to pull one of those big bounties.
Little nugget, you know, if you if you look up
the winner photo of Philip Chun, he has a chip
Leader Coaching patch on. So that's interesting because a couple
of days ago we had Daniel Gebba winning the five
Kay Nolan at Holdham for what was his first career
gold bracelet. He won five hundred thousand dollars there. He's
also part of that chip Leader Coaching crew. Philip Chuhn
is also part of the chip Leader Coaching crew. Believe
he is a student. I was reading the Poker News
recap article about Chun's win and they had a nice
little nugget in there a quote from Chun talking about
his involvement with chip Leader Coaching, specifically with Kristin fox
and so listen to this. Chun said, I texted Kristin
Kristin Foxen at three am last night once we finished
so meaning going into the final table, and arranged to
speak to her before play got underway. We talked for
about an hour and everything that she told me put
things into perspective. It didn't overwhelm me. It just allowed
me to tackle today the way I wanted, and honestly,
I would not be here holding the bracelet if it
wasn't for Kristin as my coach. That is pretty damn cool.
I mean, on one side of things, it's cool that
it worked out this way. On the other side of things,
it's awesome that he texted Kristen Fox and at three
am she responded in a way that allowed them to
meet up for an hour before play the next day.
Second to that, it's pretty damn ef and cool to
have Kristen fox and as your coach and she's given
you this much, you know, time of day. I mean,
that is awesome, so really cool of Kristin there. I
know Kristen, you know she's she's regularly in the poker
studio playing the PGT events. I have spoken with her
many times. If you guys remember when she made that
run in the w SIP main event. We talked with
her several times along the way. She's always been super nice,
super friendly, super personable, you know. But kudos to her
here for going out of her way it seems to
help Philip chun out and then awesome, awesome, awesome that
it paid out. So that's that's a really really cool
story there elsewhere around the World Series of Poker. Now,
I just refreshed the page here on the six hundred
dollars Deep Stack tournament that is down to heads up play.
Still no winner. These guys are still battling right now,
so we're not gonna hit on that one until the
next pod to see who won. We'll just leave it
at that, but they are heads up over in the
six hundred dollars Deep Stack. You got eight players left.
In the fifteen hundred dollars nolanmit Duce to seven single draw.
Among those eight players, friend of the pod David O
dB Baker, Baker is in line to get what is
what his fifth WSOP Gold bracelet. Dylan Smith is also
among the final eight. Stephen Hubbard is in there as
well pair Hillebrand. So some really tough players in this
tournamentmember This tournament had a I think it was like
a twenty three two percent increase over the year before,
so a really good turnout in the fifteen hundred dollars
Nolan Duce to seven single draw the GG millions, that's
the ten k buy in high Roller event two starting flights.
Ultimately I believe a four day tournament. You started with
five hundred big blinds deep unlimited rantry you can enter
into Tuesday. Max late Redge allows you to come in
with twenty five big blinds. They got I believe, two
hundred and eight entries on Day one B. Combine that
with the one hundred and ninety four that they got
on Day one E, so you're sitting at four hundred
and two total entries. I talked about it on the
last episode. I'll mention it again right here with this
is a tournament where I expect a ton of Max
late Redge people to hop on in, because when you
can hop on in to a big, big prize pool
like this ten K events with twenty five big blinds,
you know that's definitely going to be pretty advantageous to you.
I would imagine there was a bunch of people that
probably said, you know what, I'll play the fifteen hundred
dollars six Max today. Depending on how things go, you know,
I'll blast in that put a couple of bulletin. If
I bag, great, awesome. If not, backup plan is Max
late Redge for the twenty five or for the yeah,
getting the twenty five big blinds that you get you know,
and if you do go through and you mean if
you threw on you know, three bullets, well you spent
forty five hundred dollars versus spending ten k. And then
there's even a chance that you can bust early on
in day two of the fifteen hundred dollars six max
and then get on over to that ten KGG millions
and still MAXI late redge over there. So I do
expect you know, quite a bit of people to come
over to that GG millions when when that that clock
hits zero for the for the registration period to get
on in. But we'll talk about that on the next episode.
We allot me to tell you guys about PLO Mastermind
because it is the biggest PLO summer on record, and
include it in it being a big summer. Check out
PLO Mastermind's big summer sale now through July fourteenth. You

Just head on over to plomastermind dot com slash poker
go choose your plan or choose your course and start
learning how to win with POLO Mastermind. It's time to
stop guessing and start winning. In that fifteen hundred dollars
six Max no limit tournament, it drew eighteen hundred and
forty entries, down a bit from last year first place
this year three hundred and forty six thousand dollars. You
also had another fifteen hundred dollars tournament kicking off. That
was the fifteen hundred dollars Mixed Omaha event. Now this
this one was up a little bit from last year,
twelve eighty seven entries in the field this year first place.
There is two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars coming
up on Tuesday, June second, we're gonna have a six
hundred dollars PLO deep stack kicking off. That one should
be big. It should also be a shit show, but
in a good way. Of course. You have the seven
hundred dollars seventeen hundred dollars. I kind of wish seven hundred,
but the seventeen hundred dollars U Circuit Championship. That is
a I know it says US Circuit Championship, but it
is a w SP raclet event. It's branded as such.
To hopefully shed a little bit more light on the
DOUBSIP circuit, those WASIP circuit main events that happen around
the US. They all have the main events, I should say,
they all have the seventeen hundred dollars buying for those
main events. So this is basically that. But in DISIP
Gold Bracelet Form Nolan Holden Tournament, I will be in
the field for that one. I am bringing three bullets.
That is the maximum that you can bring. I sold
I think ten percent on poker Steak. So if you
guys got into the action on poker Steak, you know one,
I very much appreciate it. And two let's go win
some freaking money baby. And you also have the big,
the bad ten thousand dollars buying and no limit Duced
to seven Championship aka the Nick Schulman Invitational. He won
that event last year. He topped Darren Olias member. They
battled forever in that heads up match, and absolute battle
between those two took forever. We did a great interview
last year with Nick Shulman. I'm guessing, I mean, he's
got to be back in the field. This is his tournament,
so he's going to be back in there. I'm all
all the heavy hitters. That's one of the coolest tournaments
of the summer every single summer, so you know, stay
tuned for updates on that couple.
Speaker 3: Shout outs here, Attention, attention, good morning, good afternoon, and
good evening to the poker radio audience near and far.
It is now time for a brand spanking, spiffy and
new shout out to some of our most loyal listeners
who likely got a bit too lucky on the way
to the spotlight. You're listening to the number one poker
show in the land, and it's time for a new
edition of the Poker Go Podcast Community cards.
Speaker 1: Got my guy Sean, who I met a couple of
years ago. Didn't remember his name, but he reintroduced himself again,
So shout out to you, Sean. Appreciate you for saying
hello again. And then I have a quick funny story
from a guy who shall main unnamed. But I saw
him the other day. I see him again today. He
stops me. He started. He starts telling me kind of
random stories, like he's telling me about how he fell
in love with poker through Moneymaker, Like he he starts
bringing up Scott Lazarre. He's like this guy with the
Queen ten. He was so crazy. I was like, oh,
you mean Scott Lazar. He's like, yah, yeh, Scotlazarre. You
saw that too. I was like, yeah, of course I
saw that. We all saw it. You know, call I'll
give you a gamble, which is wild shit. Then all
of a sudden he goes you know, I've never told
anyone this story before, and he just goes into this
whole story about like a hooker and a massage parlor
at the rio and like this whole thing, and I'm
just like, he's like, you remember the hooker bar. I
was like, well, yeah, I know where the hooker bar is.
I was like, I think, but I think every Catino
has a hooker bar, which is basically He's like, how
does it becoming to be the hooker bar? I said, well,
I think it's just the bar where all the hookers
go to try and pick up guys. Like that's just
how it becomes, you know. It's it's not on No
one officially calls it the hooker bar. It's just called
that by by the patrons who frequent that and see
it quite often. He's telling me just this whole crazy
story about this hooker and how he's like he's he's
hooking up with her, but like she's in really good shape.
So while they're doing stuff, he's complimenting her on like
how her abs look. And then somehow, while they're also
doing stuff, they're they're talking about her diet, like I like,
she's telling him like I don't eat this, I don't
eat that, I don't need this other thing, but I
eat this, this and this so I can keep looking
good and I do all this work. And I'm just
like what I'm like. Part of me was like, you
definitely have told this story before, because why would you
just tell what is essentially a stranger me this random
story standing in the middle of the Paris hallway right
The other side of me is like, why are you
telling me this story? But it was about a ten
to fifteen minute story all about this, I mean, just
absolutely blew my mind. But you know, love the guy.
I don't know if he listens to this podcast. I
know that he listens to or he used to listen
to the Poker News podcast when I was on, because
he can't the first time I met him, he came
up to me and he said, I miss rich t
Ryan shout out producer Rich, and I said, well, Rich
hasn't been on the podcast in like fucking twelve years,
so I don't know what you're talking about anyway. Just
I love everyone at the World's Series of Poker. You know,
we got the crazy Josh and Tristan story from a
couple of nights ago. We got a great film help
You interview, you know, where he's talking about how I'm
rich and famous and all this sort of stuff earlier
in this episode, and now we got this guy telling
him about his sexual escapades around Las Vegas. So it's
just it's absolutely bananas, but I love it. But that's that,
and that's the podcast. So we're gonna get out of here.
It's a little bit after midnight. I'm gonna try and
get some sleep again. I am playing tomorrow. Hopefully I
make a run on this thing and we kick off
our summer, right, Wish me luck. If you have pieces
of me, let's go. Hopefully I'm giving you a bunch
of money back, and yeah, hopefully the next podcast is me.
You know, well after bagging and I'm talking about my day.
But alright, guys, my name is Donny Peters. It's been
a pleasure as always, please do not forget get some
