Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
Speaker 1: Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. It is
Speaker 1: twelve to fifty two am on Saturday, June twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Just got done watching an episode of TV with the
Speaker 1: wife before hopping on the podcast, thought maybe that would
Speaker 1: allow some of these events to end. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's I don't know why. I feel like these events
Speaker 1: are just going later, or maybe I just did the
Speaker 1: podcast later in past years. I don't I don't really know.
Speaker 1: We're about two thirds of the way through the World
Speaker 1: Series of Proger. I mean, we are two thirds of
Speaker 1: the way through the World Series of Poker at least
Speaker 1: events wise, and uh yeah, it feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: we're we're getting there to so nearing the end. And
Speaker 1: I don't really like that, because I love the World
Speaker 1: Series of Poker and I love the excitement it brings.
Speaker 1: I love the sense of community, competitiveness, the battling out there,
Speaker 1: you know, the grind of it all. Like I really
Speaker 1: do think it's awesome. And you know, when when you
Speaker 1: get to be now just a handful of days away
Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty six w SP main event, you know,
Speaker 1: that's when it kind of becomes real on two fronts.
Speaker 1: I guess one is that you know, the granddaddy of
Speaker 1: them all is here, right, the biggest and best poker
Speaker 1: tournament in the world. It's upon us. The other side
Speaker 1: of things is that, you know, when the main event
Speaker 1: does start, it does kind of start to signify that
Speaker 1: we're in the home stretch of it all. This is
Speaker 1: the big climactic finish and it's going to be done soon,
Speaker 1: which is a bummer, right, so you know, but overall,
Speaker 1: you know, just just really good things. As we get
Speaker 1: towards the end of June here and we're gonna get
Speaker 1: into July. On the docket today, I'm gonna do some
Speaker 1: bouncing around. But we got Koji Fujimoto denying Nick Shulman
Speaker 1: in the ten K deuce to seven triple draw. Nick
Speaker 1: is of course known for his prowess in the no
Speaker 1: limit duce to seven single draw. This is the limit
Speaker 1: duce to seven triple draw version of Fuji mo Mojo
Speaker 1: finishing first there. And then we got the tag team
Speaker 1: winners Breno Drummond and Enrique Lesa taking down that event.
Speaker 1: I was able to catch up with Sean Deep I
Speaker 1: spend I don't know, five minutes or so with him.
Speaker 1: He was on break in the ten k PLO Championship.
Speaker 1: I caught up with him because you know, it hasn't
Speaker 1: been a run of the mill sean deep summer, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to just ask him about it and say,
Speaker 1: hey man, you know what's going on in the summer.
Speaker 1: So we'll play that a little bit later. Of course,
Speaker 1: we have some other events to hit on as well,
Speaker 1: so as I said, I'll kind of bounce around through
Speaker 1: this sort of stuff after we hit on these winners
Speaker 1: to kick things off. Before we get into that, allow
Speaker 1: me to tell you once more that if you're not
Speaker 1: already playing free online poker on play poker Go, what

Speaker 1: limit deuced to seven triple draw. This was a very
Speaker 1: very stacked field, as these ten K Championship mixed events
Speaker 1: are hundred and seventy six entries. We get down to
Speaker 1: the final table, there's some absolute studs in the mix.
Speaker 1: But when it's all said and done, when the dust
Speaker 1: has settled, Japan's Koji Fujimoto tops all comers to win
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety two thousand dollars. Believe it's the
Speaker 1: first bracelet for Fujimoto. He denied Nick Shulman, the great
Speaker 1: Nick Shulman with another second place finish, another deep run,
Speaker 1: another final table for Shulman. Ultimately he's going to have
Speaker 1: to settle for two hundred and fifty six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Tommy Hag third, Andrew Kelsoal aka aj Kelsoal got fourth,
Speaker 1: Justin Smith fifth, Todd Brunson sixth. Fujimoto told Poker News
Speaker 1: after the win, he said, winning this bracelet makes my
Speaker 1: poker life get bigger. My dream was winning a bracelet
Speaker 1: at the World Series, and I did it so I
Speaker 1: can go to the next step of my poker life.
Speaker 1: These two battled Fujimo and Shulman for quite some time,
Speaker 1: Shulman had the chip lead for the majority of the
Speaker 1: final table that I saw, especially kind of the later
Speaker 1: stages of things with six with five players onward, they
Speaker 1: got to heads up, Shulman had the chip lead there.
Speaker 1: Fujimoto ended up battling back to get things even. And
Speaker 1: then there was a stretch when I was out there
Speaker 1: watching this one play down, and it seemed like Nick
Speaker 1: Shulman did not win a pot for two hours, three hours. Now,
Speaker 1: I know he did win a pot during that span
Speaker 1: of time, but I'm just I'm just trying to paint
Speaker 1: a picture because it felt like all the chips, all
Speaker 1: the pots were just getting pushed over to where Koji
Speaker 1: Fujimoto was sitting, which is in the one seat, and
Speaker 1: it just kept going his way. He did get Shulman
Speaker 1: down very very short and there were a few double
Speaker 1: ups in there for Shulman, but ultimately Fujimoto was just,
Speaker 1: you know, he proved too much on this day. And
Speaker 1: you know, even the final hand, Fujimoto made a pair
Speaker 1: of threes, he showed first, and you know, all Schulin
Speaker 1: had to do was turn over one last card that
Speaker 1: didn't pair, and he pulls a pair of fours, pair
Speaker 1: of threes, beats a pair of fours, and you know,
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, Shulman's quickly out the door for
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty six thousand dollars, Fujimoto taking home
Speaker 1: the bracelet and three hundred and ninety two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: In the one K tag team event, you had Breno
Speaker 1: Drummond and Enrique Lesa taking home top honors. In this one,
Speaker 1: they won almost one hundred and eighty five thousand dollars combined.
Speaker 1: So chop that up between those two and that's what
Speaker 1: they're going to be taking home, unless they, of course
Speaker 1: had some sort of other deal between them, as you
Speaker 1: would expect. You know, one of the most fun, lively
Speaker 1: events on the World Series of Poker schedule every single year,
Speaker 1: the Tag Team event. The final table was incredibly lively,
Speaker 1: incredibly entered, dak, lots of cheering, high fiving, big rail.
Speaker 1: Of course, everyone that was playing at a given moment
Speaker 1: had at minimum their one tag team partner on the
Speaker 1: rail right there, but there were I don't know twenty
Speaker 1: to forty people around the rail on one of the
Speaker 1: outer feature tables, sweating this one down to the end.
Speaker 1: A lot of excitement, a lot of yelling, cheering when
Speaker 1: people were all in and winning pots. So a lot
Speaker 1: of fun in that one. Three hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: teams were in the mix, and at the end of
Speaker 1: the day it was Drummond and Lesa taking down the event.
Speaker 1: Raku Yamachi and Shataro Morasse finished second in this event.
Speaker 1: They took home let me see one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars there. Next thing I want to touch
Speaker 1: on is the Ladies Championships. A little bit of tricky
Speaker 1: footing here. I have to go off the app, which
Speaker 1: it's weird because the app is updated, but the stream
Speaker 1: isn't done yet. I can't see the updates on Poker News,
Speaker 1: but I can see it in the app if I
Speaker 1: scroll till tomorrow. But whatever, it doesn't matter. Forty eight
Speaker 1: entries remain in the Ladies Championship we talked about in
Speaker 1: the last episode. I'm gonna mention it again because it
Speaker 1: deserves mentioning fourteen hundred and seventy five entries in this
Speaker 1: year's Ladies Championship, making it the largest Ladies Championship in
Speaker 1: WSP history, crushing the record from last year. So doing
Speaker 1: very well there for the Ladies Championship. Aubrey Williams looks
Speaker 1: to be tied for the chip lead with Shannon Fahi.
Speaker 1: Cherish Andrews, a PGT regular. Cherish Andrews is sitting up
Speaker 1: there as well in third. Lexigavin Mather She's in the
Speaker 1: top ten as well. Let me see who else we
Speaker 1: got if I scroll through these chip counts. Angela Jordanson
Speaker 1: bag some chips she had an I was watching the
Speaker 1: stream a little bit today. She had a big hand.
Speaker 1: She had aces, her opponent had kings. The aces held.
Speaker 1: That gave Jordanson a big double up and she was
Speaker 1: able to continue going from there not too far behind her.
Speaker 1: Jessica Tosol. Tosol won this event before a few years ago,
Speaker 1: so she's trying to get back into the winner circle,
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, join the goat. Sheina Okagoto, Shea
Speaker 1: Okamoto is her real name. Is a two time winner
Speaker 1: of the Ladies events. Caitlyn Kameski. I'm sure many of
Speaker 1: you out there know Kaitlyn Kameski. She's also still in
Speaker 1: the mix. They did stream day two. Day three is
Speaker 1: going to take place on Saturday. They're going to play
Speaker 1: down to the final table. Would be my guest, and
Speaker 1: then on Sunday they're going to come back and they're
Speaker 1: going to play to a winner one hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars up top in this year's dovis a
Speaker 1: p Ladies Champion Junie. We have been checking in on
Speaker 1: the ws AP Mystery Millions every day with the starting flight,
Speaker 1: and this year we had been talking about through the
Speaker 1: first three starting flights, a twenty three percent increase in
Speaker 1: the first one, a twenty four percent increase in the
Speaker 1: second one, a five percent increase in the third one. Well,
Speaker 1: we finally got a little pulled back today. Day one
Speaker 1: d drew four thousand, seven hundred and nineteen entries compared
Speaker 1: to last year's five three hundred and fourteen. That is
Speaker 1: a negative eleven point two percent paris in there, you know,
Speaker 1: so a little bit down, but still overall, I think
Speaker 1: they are ahead of pace here for the Mystery Millions.
Speaker 1: And my guy David on Twitter also pointed out that
Speaker 1: I can't forget, and I did forget, so it's a
Speaker 1: good thing. He reminded me that this year they did
Speaker 1: add a turbo flight, So on Saturday we're going to
Speaker 1: get two flights for the Mystery Millions, You'll have your
Speaker 1: regular day flight that's going to kick off I'm assuming
Speaker 1: at ten am, so that'll be your regular or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, thirty or forty minute levels. But then later
Speaker 1: on in the evening, probably sometime around six pm, maybe
Speaker 1: they have a turbo flight that kicks off. So last
Speaker 1: year for the Mystery Millions, they had five flights, and
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they were all just regular flights, and
Speaker 1: then this year they have the five regular flights, but
Speaker 1: then they added one turbo flight. So even if we
Speaker 1: do have a little pullback for Day one D, if
Speaker 1: we add another pullback for Day one E, let's just
Speaker 1: say that that happens, they're likely going to make up
Speaker 1: for that with that final turbo flight and you know,
Speaker 1: pump these numbers up quite a bit, but you know,
Speaker 1: this one is still pacing incredibly well. Here another cool
Speaker 1: thing that happened that could bode well for some numbers
Speaker 1: going forward is the WSP and GG Poker partnered with
Speaker 1: Masato Yokosawa to basically run this huge promotion where he
Speaker 1: brings all these players over from Japan. I think they
Speaker 1: charted a giant jet or got a plane or whatever.
Speaker 1: The heck they did. They brought all these people over
Speaker 1: they could buy some sort of package and get in
Speaker 1: the mix. There was a part of this whole thing
Speaker 1: was there was a free roll happening in the Paris Room,
Speaker 1: and there was like two hundred and thirty players in
Speaker 1: the mix for this free roll. I got no idea
Speaker 1: what they're playing for. I looked on the screen over
Speaker 1: by the tournament area. The price will said one dollar
Speaker 1: on the screen. So I got no idea what these
Speaker 1: guys are playing for. But they looked like they were
Speaker 1: having an absolute blast of a freaking time. You know,
Speaker 1: Misado's giving up, giving a little speech, shuffle up and deal.
Speaker 1: Everyone's applauding, like it's a hole to do, right, But
Speaker 1: there's there's two hundred and thirty of those people here
Speaker 1: in town, and I'm guessing they're gonna blast. I mean,
Speaker 1: what else are you gonna do. You're coming to Vegas
Speaker 1: for poc Let's play some Dan poker. So you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's nice to have. You know, it's nice to
Speaker 1: have those people coming over. And yeah, I mean shout
Speaker 1: out to Masado Yokasawa superstar Japanese blogger. I know we've
Speaker 1: talked about him on the podcast, and you know a
Speaker 1: few different times he's also played on high stakes Poker
Speaker 1: in the past. He's played you know, in PGT events
Speaker 1: at the Pokerer Studio. He's you know one at least
Speaker 1: one of those, if not a couple of those. So
Speaker 1: shout out to Masada for working with the Waspy making
Speaker 1: all that happen and getting all those players to come
Speaker 1: over from Asia. That's that's a really cool initiative there,
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's one that they keep doing every single
Speaker 1: year and that it keeps growing. You know, we all
Speaker 1: talk about how poker in Asia is doing extremely well.
Speaker 1: Poker in Japan specifically, is you know kind of just
Speaker 1: ready to explode, if not kind of already exploding. So
Speaker 1: if we can tap into that market, I mean, one,
Speaker 1: you want people to tap into it in Japan, right
Speaker 1: of course, but I think that's already happening. But you
Speaker 1: know the second part of that is can you get
Speaker 1: you know, those players to start traveling the world, coming
Speaker 1: to the World Trees of Poker.
Speaker 2: And going elsewhere.
Speaker 1: And you know, here we got you know, more than
Speaker 1: two hundred players coming over getting in this ree role.
Speaker 1: It shows that interest there. That's a lot of players
Speaker 1: coming over to do this, So that's that's just a
Speaker 1: really cool thing. That's a that's going on. Next we'll
Speaker 1: hit on the fifteen dollars seven card stud high Low.
Speaker 1: We talked last episode, I almost said yesterday. We talked
Speaker 1: last episode about Daniel Legrand who finishing as one of
Speaker 1: the bigger stacks, or at least doing doing very well
Speaker 1: in the tournament. He has since busted out. He got
Speaker 1: sixty third place. We went over some of those deep
Speaker 1: runs that n Gran who's been having at the World
Speaker 1: Ties of Poker, an another pretty deep run here. Sixty
Speaker 1: three out of six hundred and forty seven entries got him.
Speaker 1: You know, a little bit more than two X is buying.
Speaker 1: But they are down to the final ten. Daniel Geng
Speaker 1: a PGTPLO series champion from a couple of series ago.
Speaker 1: He is the current chip lead. You got Dave standing there,
Speaker 1: Adam Owen, David Bach are all in the mix. King
Speaker 1: Callous also still in there. So ten players left here.
Speaker 1: This does say end of day chip counts on Poker News,
Speaker 1: So those ten players are going to be bagging up
Speaker 1: coming back on Saturday. They're going to play this one
Speaker 1: down to a winner again. This is the fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars seven cards Dot High Low Tournament, one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty nine thousand dollars up. Top final ten are guaranteed
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars. And then the last event here that
Speaker 1: we're going to hit on. I guess we're just going
Speaker 1: short and sweet with this podcast is the ten k
Speaker 1: PLO Championship. This one has registration opened until the first
Speaker 1: level or two whatever it is, on day two, so
Speaker 1: don't have final numbers yet, but they are up over
Speaker 1: seven hundred entries, which looks to be a pretty good
Speaker 1: turnout if I do say so myself. And we know
Speaker 1: this name who's at the top of the Poker News
Speaker 1: chip counts. That is Michael the Grinder, Miss Rocky the
Speaker 1: Apps punisher out there. I mean, if these chip counts
Speaker 1: are correct, he's got a giant lead right now. Of course,
Speaker 1: still some time to play. These chip sacks could have fluctuated.
Speaker 1: Joseph Liberta is also doing very well. Joseph Alberto one,
Speaker 1: the Milli Maker. He's also in there. I see Noah Schwartz,
Speaker 1: I see justin Liberto. You know, different player, different name,
Speaker 1: you know, don't get those confused. Jared Blesnik, you know,
Speaker 1: Jared Blesnik taking all the heat for his commentary, but
Speaker 1: you know it looks like he's applying some heat to
Speaker 1: this tournament here for Reid Johnton doing well, Keith Lear,
Speaker 1: get on the jets, sir, let's go. Daniel Cipil's in there.
Speaker 1: I see Ari Angle, I see Sam Soeverll, Dario San Martino.
Speaker 1: So they're all charging strong. Don't have payouts or anything yet,
Speaker 1: but of course it's early in this tournament. We'll see
Speaker 1: how it goes. I see Sean Dieve's name in the
Speaker 1: chip counts. I know when I left Paris earlier, about
Speaker 1: two hours ago or so, he was still in because
Speaker 1: they were going on a break and I spoke with him,
Speaker 1: and you know, I wanted to talk to Sean about
Speaker 1: you know, what the heck's going on, Like you've only
Speaker 1: had two results now, They've been good results, right, Both
Speaker 1: of them have been final tables. One was a final
Speaker 1: table in the I think it was the ten Ku
Speaker 1: just to seven or Nolan mcdusa seven. The other one
Speaker 1: was the second place finish in the Mini PPC. Joey
Speaker 1: Coodin defeated him heads up there and talked about that
Speaker 1: on a previous episode, but it's not the normal Sean
Speaker 1: Deep summer that we're looking to see. He came into
Speaker 1: the summer coming off of DUBISIP Europe in a really
Speaker 1: good spot to chase down another Player of the Year title.
Speaker 1: That is what Sean Deep is all about every single
Speaker 1: year at the World Series of Poker, That's really where
Speaker 1: he really wants to pin his legacy on. You know,
Speaker 1: He's talked about it many many times. So he's in
Speaker 1: a really good spot coming into the summer. But now, yes,
Speaker 1: he has had those two final table runs, but he's
Speaker 1: really just been dropping down the POI leaderboard and seeing
Speaker 1: other like you know, Nick Shulman and we just talked
Speaker 1: about earlier, with all the success that he's had this summer,
Speaker 1: players like him, players like Alex Fox and Iowa Kihara,
Speaker 1: you know, they're all just leapfrogging him and then starting
Speaker 1: to just kind of put space between wherever they are
Speaker 1: and where Sean Deep is. So, you know, right now,
Speaker 1: again we're about two thirds of the way through the
Speaker 1: World Series of Poker. There is a lot of poker
Speaker 1: still to be played. But how does Sean feel about
Speaker 1: his chances? How is he handling this mentally, you know
Speaker 1: what the heck is happening. I wanted to speak with
Speaker 1: him about all of that. So thanks to Sean Deep
Speaker 1: for catching up. Here is that interview right now? All right,
Speaker 1: Sean deeb, I want to ask you, don't get mad
Speaker 1: at me, but what's going on this summer?
Speaker 2: The lack of results.
Speaker 1: What's what's happening?
Speaker 2: So when I put all my chips in the middle
Speaker 2: and my opponents match my stack is they usually get
Speaker 2: me covered by the river they're hand. Whatever game they're
Speaker 2: playing tends to beat mine. So that I am eliminated
Speaker 2: from the tournament. I have to go to a different
Speaker 2: tournament and repeat the process over and over again.
Speaker 1: This is like when that basketball player they asked him
Speaker 1: about rebounds or something and he explained exactly how you
Speaker 1: get rebounds. I know you're a guy that you obviously
Speaker 1: pride yourself on winning player of the year. Right, you
Speaker 1: were in a good position coming into the summer. Now
Speaker 1: you've only had two results so far, albeit final tables. Yes,
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of players, you know, starting
Speaker 1: to pass you, starting to kind of stretch out a
Speaker 1: little bit of a lead. Is that something you're looking
Speaker 1: at every single day.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that at this point I need
Speaker 2: to put up results. I kind of it's less fading
Speaker 2: them then it's more to me just you know, thankfully,
Speaker 2: my two cashes were good po wy wise, So I'm
Speaker 2: still you know, a bracelet issue away depending on who
Speaker 2: you're against. And you know the fact that it's top
Speaker 2: three all of the same payouts, so like, I'm still
Speaker 2: you know, going pretty hard for that. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I've shown up here every day. I definitely played a
Speaker 2: ton of bullets and I'm happy with my game. You know,
Speaker 2: people may think I'm playing worse than I am, which
Speaker 2: is good, and I'm more motivated than ever before. And
Speaker 2: you know, when I win some all ins, I end
Speaker 2: up being daily chipleyd and you know, give myself a
Speaker 2: good shot to win a bracelet, and so I'll take
Speaker 2: that over you know, ten minute cashes all day every day.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's been interesting summer to say the least.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think it shows what variance can be
Speaker 2: even when I proceed to have some of the biggest
Speaker 2: edges in most of these bracelet events and I have
Speaker 2: no results to match it up.
Speaker 1: Have you had a summer like this before? That you
Speaker 1: can recall.
Speaker 2: Oh no, this is a record breaking poor summer. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I've kind of refused to go on the
Speaker 2: app to actually count how many balls I've played, but
Speaker 2: we're probably approaching one hundred because part of the thing
Speaker 2: is making no day toos and busting a returnament that
Speaker 2: I'm not missing events because I'm in something else. So
Speaker 2: I've played probably more unique World Series Bracelet events than
Speaker 2: any other year with the least amount of results possible.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, how are you? I mean, you always seem
Speaker 1: like a guy who's smiling, You're positive about it. You're
Speaker 1: obviously here every single day, still blasting. How do you
Speaker 1: just keep yourself No, I mean you're here, you're going
Speaker 1: for it still a lot. Some people might say, you
Speaker 1: know what, it's not my day, or you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a few days off, but you're still
Speaker 1: here every day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just variance. There's no listen. I
Speaker 2: don't get to play poker much the rest of the year,
Speaker 2: so I came out here. This is my time to earn,
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm trying to pay for a new house,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna show up and keep playing like there's
Speaker 2: no quitting me. There's never you know, a tap out.
Speaker 2: I'm down too much. Yeah, just keep showing up and
Speaker 2: keep buying in and it'll take a lot many more
Speaker 2: years like this to ever make me want to tap out.
Speaker 1: If you were to predict the rest of your summer,
Speaker 1: you know, there's about what thirty events left or so
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen?
Speaker 2: I have that weird feeling I'm just gonna get stuck
Speaker 2: in the main to like day six and get like
Speaker 2: eightieth place and just fucking hate myself for even playing them.
Speaker 2: You know, it's one of the worst POI events based
Speaker 2: on time to ratio, but you know, it's so many
Speaker 2: points up top with the new formula that if I
Speaker 2: somehow final table that, you know, it's basically like winning
Speaker 2: a brace at another event, which I think is kind
Speaker 2: of crazy one of the falls I have with this system.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that'll be the goal is final table Demain,
Speaker 2: which I never really try in, but I might have
Speaker 2: to be such a dog to everyone else and I
Speaker 2: need to final table Tomaine just to build afford all
Speaker 2: the Bahamas buying. So yeah, it's it's kind of sucks
Speaker 2: that the guys at the top are all Triton rags
Speaker 2: or massive no limit you know, buying players where I
Speaker 2: was hoping it'd be more of the mixed games. You know,
Speaker 2: it's not a shot at Kiara, for example. It's just
Speaker 2: he you know, between tax purposes and his stuff that's
Speaker 2: not events in buying say regular plays. So when he
Speaker 2: had those two early wins, I was not as worried
Speaker 2: about him. But then Fox and Shulman Hooney, you know,
Speaker 2: those are the people that it's really hard to pass
Speaker 2: them because they're point equity in Bahamas is two to
Speaker 2: three x what minus what do you.
Speaker 1: Think your chances are for a Player of the Year
Speaker 1: going forward this year?
Speaker 2: Five percent? It's gotten pretty low. Yeah, I mean it's hard.
Speaker 2: I have to win one and also fade them. And
Speaker 2: you know, Nick just had a second place, which you know,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's pretty dejected about. But five top five
Speaker 2: finishes is pretty sick and to win. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to I can't get second to win
Speaker 2: Player of the Year. So I got me and Josh
Speaker 2: got to learn something together. Maybe Mac can teach us
Speaker 2: how to win heads up. Not like he ever gets
Speaker 2: heads up, but you know, maybe if he does he'll
Speaker 2: show us some epiphany of how to win the hands
Speaker 2: that are necessary to get in.
Speaker 1: So that was Sean Deep, thanks for taking the time
Speaker 1: to chat with me. The basketball player that I was
Speaker 1: trying to reference there was Torrian Prince who described how
Speaker 1: Baylor was was out rebounded by their opponents, and I
Speaker 1: remember he was asked, i think during the NCAA tournament,
Speaker 1: and he basically explained exactly like how you gather the
Speaker 1: rebounds and how you don't get more rebounds than your opponents,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Sean Deep was saying there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, all good. Seawan and I have a
Speaker 1: good relationship and he's just you know, trying to bust
Speaker 1: some balls there. But he sounds fine that you know.
Speaker 1: This is my read on the conversation is that obviously
Speaker 1: Deeb's going to continue to show up. He's going to
Speaker 1: continue to fire in these tournaments. He's he says, he
Speaker 1: thinks he's playing fine. He's happy with his play. So
Speaker 1: you know, to me, Sean Deeve is he's just a
Speaker 1: grinder and this is what he's going to do with
Speaker 1: the disipy Okay, He's not going to take a day
Speaker 1: off he's not going to back down. He's probably not
Speaker 1: going to change anything like this is just Sean deep right.
Speaker 1: But on the other side, like you can you can
Speaker 1: tell that he's like, man, I've never had a summer
Speaker 1: like this, you know, So I mean maybe he's just
Speaker 1: been sun running, you know, not that Sean dee is
Speaker 1: not a world class player, because he is, but you know,
Speaker 1: you know, there is a lot of things do have
Speaker 1: to break your way, So maybe it's just some variance
Speaker 1: like finally catching up and it's just all catching up
Speaker 1: in one summer and now we're seeing it because it's
Speaker 1: such an outlier from what we expect from Shandeve all
Speaker 1: the time, I mean myself included. I still do think
Speaker 1: though that Shan deeb you know, he may not want
Speaker 1: to say that, like he's feeling the pressure or that
Speaker 1: it's building or whatever it is, but like I mean,
Speaker 1: you heard him say, you know, he's trying to play
Speaker 1: pay for a new house, like this is how the
Speaker 1: World Series of Poker is when Shan Deeve, you know,
Speaker 1: goes out and makes his bread like that's what he does.
Speaker 2: So with.
Speaker 1: Thirty or so events left, you know, again, still a
Speaker 1: third of the World Series of Poker left, Like, I
Speaker 1: still expect let's say, three to five big results from
Speaker 1: Shan Deep. Like I'm talking big results, meaning maybe a
Speaker 1: couple of final tables in there, one or two, you know,
Speaker 1: final two tables, maybe he has a deep run in
Speaker 1: the main event, and you know, something like that. I
Speaker 1: still think there's a lot of poker to be played,
Speaker 1: and Sean Dee's gonna be playing it till the bitter end.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just overly positive about it, overly optimistic about
Speaker 1: it coming into the summer. While we didn't play twenty
Speaker 1: five K Fantasy this year. I said it then, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it again now. I would have paid top
Speaker 1: dollar for Shande. He was the most expensive player in
Speaker 1: the draft. I thought he probably should have gone more
Speaker 1: for what he went for, which I think was one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three dollars if I remember correctly.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I you know.
Speaker 1: So there's still some summer left. Yes, it hasn't gone
Speaker 1: this way, and it's not the big summer that we're
Speaker 1: used to out of Sean Dee. But even with everything
Speaker 1: that's gone wrong for Sean Deep, he still is in
Speaker 1: the top ten of the POI leader board, and he
Speaker 1: is a win in a big event like a ten
Speaker 1: K championship event like this ten kpolo for example, he's
Speaker 1: he's a win away from getting back to the top
Speaker 1: of the poy lead aboard, like you know, So it's
Speaker 1: not like it's a complete and utter disaster and he
Speaker 1: should just throw it all away like He's still in
Speaker 1: the mix. And of course with the POI, we still
Speaker 1: have the stuff to happen later on in the year
Speaker 1: down in the Bahamas at four Wispy Paradise, So there's
Speaker 1: a ton of poker to be played. In terms of
Speaker 1: Sean Deep chasing down that that Player of the Year title.
Speaker 1: He gives himself a five percent chance, I probably think
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more like probably fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 1: But I'm also just I'm still expecting a couple of
Speaker 1: big things out of him. And first things first, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll see how he goes in this PLO Championship. Not
Speaker 1: too much to update now. It is day one of
Speaker 1: this event, you know, a long way to go, so
Speaker 1: we'll touch on that as we go and we'll see
Speaker 1: how how Sean Deep fares. But I will say that
Speaker 1: if he is going to really put himself into contention
Speaker 1: for Player of the Year. It's gonna take a result,
Speaker 1: a big result or two in a ten k plus event,
Speaker 1: you know, a ten K championship event, a high roll
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like probably can't just be doing it in
Speaker 1: these fifteen hundreds, right Like you need the higher buyings
Speaker 1: because you need those po y points to really mean something.
Speaker 1: So that's where I would expect Sean Deep to come
Speaker 1: in hot. And you know, we still got a lot
Speaker 1: of summer left, so let's see how it goes. But
Speaker 1: you know, we're watching because we're not used to seeing this.
Speaker 1: How to Sean Deep, We're just not So let's see
Speaker 1: how it goes. And I do thank him for chatting
Speaker 1: with me. That's gonna do it for me. We really
Speaker 1: don't have too much else to talk about. We got
Speaker 1: the latest championship going to day three. We got the
Speaker 1: main event is on the horizon. That's just really freaking cool.
Speaker 1: So you know, we're getting down to it, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited weekend here and then I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: playing the mini main event as I talked about on
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday, I don't really remember. I think that
Speaker 1: one's freeze out per flight, which I like. I've cashed
Speaker 1: in that event twice. I feel good about it. It's
Speaker 1: funny how you It's funny how you like certain events
Speaker 1: more than others, and you kind of it's it's like
Speaker 1: home field advantage in a way. I don't know. I've
Speaker 1: always liked that event. I've also always liked the Colossus.
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, make time to play the Colossus
Speaker 1: this year, but I am making time to play the
Speaker 1: mini main event, and I don't know, I just I
Speaker 1: feel like going into those events they're gonna be positive
Speaker 1: things for my poker blind So we'll see how it goes.
