1 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:18,600 Poker Go Podcast. It is Monday, July thirteenth. My name 3 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,120 is Donnie Peters. It is one seventeen am. Got a 4 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,359 little bit of pep in my step today. The meds 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,399 are finally kicking in, still struggling quite a bit. Have 6 00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:33,119 spent the large majority of the past forty eight hours 7 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,000 either in my bed or on my couch. I will 8 00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:39,159 say that the silver lining there is that I have 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,600 been glued to the coverage from when it starts at 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,359 twelve noon here in Vegas to when it ends around midnight. 11 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:49,320 I know there's about a one or two hour break 12 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,960 in there at some point, but I have had that 13 00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:57,159 thing on all minutes, all hours of the past two days, 14 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,759 been absolutely glued to it. So that's been the fun 15 00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:02,200 side of things, you know. As I said, when I'm 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,840 out there, I'm not always able to watch, but I 17 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,719 try to tune in as much as I can. But 18 00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:09,000 being able to watch everything and see it all happen, 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,079 I mean, there's nothing like the WSP made event. There's 20 00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:19,480 absolutely nothing like it. Day seven is in the books. 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,040 We're gonna hit on everything that happened on Day six. 22 00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:25,599 Run you guys through that. We have a few interviews 23 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,120 to play as well. I did stay home today, but 24 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,480 my guy Rem Krinkima was down there at Paris getting 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,439 a few conversations with some of the players in the field. 26 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,400 Some really good stuff there that you guys are going 27 00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:41,959 to be able to listen to. We were throwing a 28 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000 little bit of a monkey wrench before the start of 29 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,560 day seven, so we'll obviously talk about that. If you've 30 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,560 been living under a rock, then it'll be news to you. 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,319 If not, I'm gonna weigh in with my two cents 32 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,680 on that, and yeah, that'll be the pod, nice and 33 00:01:57,519 --> 00:01:59,519 focused one around the w is to be made event. 34 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,200 I don't really know what the heck is going on 35 00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:06,319 elsewhere at the World Series. I only really know because 36 00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,159 they're kind of checking in on some things every now 37 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,599 and then on the coverage, like they checked in on 38 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,479 the fifty K Nolan and Holdham winner Jamie Dwan won 39 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,919 that one. But I am just so sucked into this 40 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,560 main event. It's just absolutely unbelievable, and anything else that's 41 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:24,879 going on around it, I just it's not that I 42 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,039 don't care, it's just I'm all of my attention one 43 00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:32,360 and fifty percent of my attention is on the WSP 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,199 main event, as it should be. You know, it's it's 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,360 great that that everyone else has stuff to play, so 46 00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:39,039 of course, you know, you want to take advantage that 47 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,439 you get. All these people in town totally get it. 48 00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:43,240 It really is just all about the main event. So 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,879 that's what we're going to be focusing on at some 50 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,520 point in the coming days. You know, we do have 51 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,240 that big gap between when the final table is reached 52 00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:54,599 and then when the final table is played, we'll have 53 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,599 some pods in there as well, and we'll wrap up 54 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,960 all the all the other winners on how things are going. 55 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280 I'm sure we got to touch on the WASIP Player 56 00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:05,560 of the Year race. That race itself is ever changing. 57 00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,680 I saw on social media today that Iowa Kihara had 58 00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:12,360 a cash in an event that allowed him to get 59 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:15,479 some points to move up. I also saw that Dan 60 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,599 and Legrand who had I think he moved up into 61 00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:21,439 the top five of the leader board. But that's all great, 62 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,639 and there are still tournaments being played. But we also 63 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,520 have to consider Sean Deep is still in the main event, right, 64 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:29,639 so it's not like his points are being tallied by 65 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,319 how far he's going and he's still alive now entering 66 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,960 day eight, So I think there's around nineteen hundred, maybe 67 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,479 two thousand points up top in the WSIP main event 68 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,120 alone for the Player of the Year, So that's going 69 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:47,080 to have a lot of weight on things for how 70 00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:50,000 that race plays out. So it's kind of it's great 71 00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:51,960 to pay attention to it. I love the race, it's awesome, 72 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,280 but it's also kind of hard to actually pin down 73 00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:57,199 because we got Sean Deep going into this event. And 74 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800 if you guys remember when I talked with him way 75 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,680 he said, you know, he made a joke like I'm 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,560 probably gonna get stuck to the mainim me until day 77 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,199 six or something like that. Well it's now gonna be 78 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,280 day eight, and Shan deeb still, at least on his terms, 79 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,280 stuck in the WSP main event. Well, all of us 80 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,159 would like to be stuck in the wspre main event 81 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,279 on day eight, mister d that's for damn sure.

For Day seven of 89 00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:49,600 the WSP Main Event, sixty two players began well within 90 00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:52,920 the money, deep in it. At the end of it all, 91 00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:57,399 when the dust had settled, twenty one players remain. So 92 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,199 we're gonna have three tables of seven coming back on Monday. 93 00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:08,639 Malcolm Trainer, the young Australian poker sensation, is leading the 94 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:13,639 way with sixty three point two million in chips. That 95 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:17,759 is good enough for one hundred and five big blinds. 96 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,360 Interestingly enough, the chip leader entering the day also had 97 00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:26,319 one hundred and five big blinds. But more on him later. 98 00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:30,000 As it pertains to Malcolm Trainor twenty six years old, 99 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,920 he's an Australian player out of Brisbane. He won the 100 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:38,319 twenty twenty four WSP Mystery Millions for one million dollars. 101 00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:40,959 Don't know how many bounties he pulled along the way, 102 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560 but of course he definitely added to that one million 103 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,680 dollars score there. In that tournament, he topped a field 104 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,360 of eighteen thousand, four hundred and nine entries. That's an 105 00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:54,920 absolutely mammoth field. He also won the twenty twenty six 106 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,279 Oussie Million's Main Event ten K buying for that one 107 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,399 in the Ozzie Million Main Event return It returned in 108 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,399 April after I think a six year hiatus. Trainer won 109 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,800 that for one million, three hundred and eighty two thousand 110 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,120 Australian dollars, which equates to nine hundred and ninety thousand 111 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:17,360 USD a top day field of seven hundred and seventy 112 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:20,279 entries there. When he won that Ozzie Million's Main Event, 113 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:23,839 Poker News was there on site doing live reporting and 114 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,279 he spoke with Poker News after and he said, I've 115 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,079 dedicated my life to poker the last eight years. People 116 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000 often see the wins, but they don't see the grind 117 00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:37,399 and they don't see the losing months. I mean, that's very, 118 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,639 very true. You know, it does take a lot to 119 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,839 be very good and very successful at poker. Yes, of course, 120 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:47,759 you can just slap it out there and get lucky. 121 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,600 That can happen, but also you know, there are plenty 122 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,399 of players, as it sounds like Trainer is certainly one 123 00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:57,519 of them that put in a lot of time effort, resources, 124 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,639 dedication to getting better improving their game. Of course, of 125 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,439 course there are different pathways to do that, but it's 126 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,839 great to see it all come to fruition. It all 127 00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,439 be shown. On the other end, with having some success 128 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,759 in poker, you know, some of the best players in 129 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,000 the world may not have giant wins like Trainer may have. 130 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,439 And then on the clip side, you know, some of 131 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,639 the worst players in the world might just rip off, 132 00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,040 you know, a sick heater for six months to a 133 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,600 year or whatever it may be. As it pertains to 134 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,360 Malcolm Trainer though everything that I've seen from him, you know, 135 00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:33,920 I watched a little bit of him in the twenty 136 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,079 twenty four Wsity Mister Millions tournament when he won that 137 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,879 one at the final table, and then I've watched a 138 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,360 lot of him, or at least as much as they 139 00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,959 have shown of him in this DISIP main event this 140 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:47,759 year in his run, and he seemed like a very 141 00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,680 very solid player. Yes, there are some fortunate situations that 142 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,199 are going his way, but that's just the variance of 143 00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:56,839 it all. And you know, you have to play well 144 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,560 and then hopefully that variance can just swing your way 145 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,680 at some points and you can be, of course the 146 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,079 beneficiary of it, but you still have to play really 147 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,319 good solid poker, and he has played really good solid 148 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,240 poker the entire time. Something that benefited him earlier to 149 00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:13,959 On day seven, he did flop a flush in a 150 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,360 raised pot holding the seven to five of spades against 151 00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,439 Todd Brunson. I believe it was Todd Brunson opened Malcolm 152 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,399 trainor called in late position I think on the button 153 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:27,800 became Queen Jack ate all spades and then fast forward 154 00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:30,360 into the river. Trainer was able to get in a 155 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,960 river rays that got paid off by Todd Brunson. There 156 00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,480 you know one hand that did go Trainer's way in 157 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,200 terms of a lot of luck is when he got 158 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,399 he got all in with Ton Lee Wang. Trainer had 159 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,200 ace five of hearts against Wang's queens. Trainer three bet 160 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360 and then called off to a shorter stacked Wang. He 161 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,080 flopped a five did Trainer and turned an ace which 162 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,639 allowed him to bust Wang. In twenty eighth place, he 163 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,320 got a lot of good value with two pair against 164 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,080 Giuseppe Pantaleo in a spot where he had aces and 165 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,000 jacks against an inferior two pair of Panteleeo with Jackson eights, 166 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,440 and then there was another spot where he got some 167 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,600 decent value in a blind versus blind situation. Antonio Galiana 168 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,440 had King Jack and the small blind trainer had Queen Queen. 169 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:23,240 In the big blind flop was Ace Jack something trainer 170 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,919 ended up believe it was. He betflop and then when 171 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,720 check check turned and then he called a bet on 172 00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:29,840 the river I think is how it went. So he 173 00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:32,039 was able to get some value there out of those 174 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,600 queens and ultimately has a relatively healthy lead. He has 175 00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,279 more than twenty million. Then second place and second place 176 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,120 belongs to Rameyhamoud out of Canada. So a sizeable lead 177 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,120 here for Malcolm trainor the young superstar again I said 178 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,519 he was twenty six years old. You don't see too 179 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,000 many young kids these days in poker, and it's great 180 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,320 to see. 181 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: You know. 182 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: We always talk about that in the US as it 183 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,440 pertains to the lack of of online poker being as 184 00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:06,960 widely available as it once was. But Australia is very similar. 185 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:10,440 You know that they don't have online poker as widely 186 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,799 available as they once did. I believe, at least that's 187 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,000 my understanding of how things are now. So someone like 188 00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,039 Malcolm Traynor, who is able to come up in his 189 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,879 younger years, in his younger twenties and have this sort 190 00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:25,279 of success. I think it's you know, it's truly great 191 00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:26,960 to see and we'll see where he goes from here. 192 00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,559 Nothing is given, of course, I know we only have 193 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:33,960 one day left of play until that final table is 194 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,080 reached on Monday. They're going to go from twenty one 195 00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:38,440 down to nine. They're going to reach that final table. 196 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,720 Of course, Trainer cannot make it. That is you know 197 00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:44,759 that that's not been a surprise in the past, that 198 00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:48,240 has not happened before. But I would say that given 199 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:50,799 what we know of him, given the chipley that he has, 200 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,120 I would say, you know, he's certainly a favorite, and 201 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,360 I expect him to make it to the final table. 202 00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:58,399 And I would even expect him to make it to 203 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,559 the final table in a very solid position. 204 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:00,799 Speaker 3: You know. 205 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: See's someone who I think with this chip lead, coupled 206 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000 with the way he's playing, you know, I look at 207 00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:09,159 him to make it to the final table in the 208 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,200 top let's say, top three sacks. You know, I think 209 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,519 that's pretty pretty safe to say right now. But of course, 210 00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:17,639 have a long day of poker ahead of us on 211 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,120 Monday for these guys to play. So we'll see how 212 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,159 it all shakes out for a trainer and the rest 213 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:38,320 of the field. As for the rest of the field, 214 00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:41,200 let's just run through the other twenty players who are 215 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,399 joining Malcolm trainer on Day eight of the WSLP main event. 216 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,799 I mentioned second place in chips Rami Hamoud out of 217 00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:52,759 Canada forty one and a half million. Right there, forty 218 00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:55,559 one and a half million. Trainers got sixty three point 219 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,679 two million. That's the gap between first and second. Entering 220 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,039 day eight of the main event. You have Lucas Juliman 221 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,279 with forty point eight million. Jumalan is a young player. 222 00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:10,320 I think he's like twenty one or twenty two years old. 223 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,080 He was talked a lot about on the broadcast. He's 224 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,919 got a lot of friends that are out here supporting him. 225 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 4: You know. 226 00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: Everyone says that he's put in a lot of work, 227 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,080 he's ready for this, he deserves it, like all that 228 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,919 sort of stuff. He he played well in a lot 229 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,639 of spots today, hold off a couple of timely bluffs, 230 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,120 got some value, you know. So he's absolutely cruising and 231 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,879 you can tell that Jumalan is certainly locked in. We'll see, 232 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,240 you know how he goes from here. But he's a 233 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,759 name that I think we need to start getting ourselves 234 00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:45,240 acquainted with rather quickly. He's came on to my radar 235 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:48,320 in this WSP main event, and it seems like with 236 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,279 the success he's having here, coupled by what we've seen 237 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,000 him playing on the felt, he's going to be someone 238 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360 who could you know, this could be the breakout, you 239 00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:59,279 know for we see for the Lucas Jumalan a story 240 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,600 to come. Eva Goru out of Cyprus thirty eight point 241 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,720 two million. He's in fourth place, Will Gibbons behind him 242 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:11,639 thirty one point seven million. Givens was another fun day 243 00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:15,120 with Will Gibbons. He did the whole show up late thing. 244 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,559 He showed up lade after breaks. At one point during 245 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,759 the last level, he just left for a whole bunch 246 00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,679 of hands like he was missing blinds everything. He did, 247 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,519 come back, played a couple hands and then he left 248 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,679 early like he didn't wait till I think they might 249 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,679 have announced four hands left or something, and he just bounced. 250 00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:37,279 The staff bagged his chips for him. But on the 251 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,840 way out, he did you know. Jeff Platt caught up 252 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:42,320 with him as a little a little walk out of 253 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,519 the out of the Paris ballroom there, and it was 254 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,080 I mean, the interview was gold. You guys can go 255 00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:49,080 find it on Jeff Platt's Twitter account if you want 256 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,320 to listen to it and see the interaction. But the 257 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,480 final quote, I just have to read it to you. 258 00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:56,240 I wrote it down because it's just it's awesome. I mean, 259 00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,720 Jeff asked him out of all the players left, you know, 260 00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:02,120 who want to get heads up with, and Will started 261 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,840 going into this thing about you know, anyone I give 262 00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:06,000 my chips to. If I give you my chips, I 263 00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:08,399 want you to be here. And then he said the 264 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,200 closing line was, and this is the quote, you know 265 00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,399 how lions don't eat dead prey because they go for 266 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,840 the chase. Let that sink in. There was a grunt 267 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,320 in there at one point, I mean the whole I 268 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,639 think he just walks off. I mean, it's just you 269 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:24,720 couldn't write better stuff than Will Gibbins has given us. 270 00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:28,919 So that's incredible. I don't know why. I just had 271 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:31,960 a feeling when I first played that freeze out several 272 00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,360 weeks ago and he sat down at the table, he 273 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,559 started telling the whole story about how he's band Caesar's properties, 274 00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,120 it's his first time back and so many years and 275 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,120 all this sort of thing. I don't know why, but 276 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,639 I just had a feeling. Maybe it's just the experience 277 00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:47,720 being on the media side in me coming out, but 278 00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:49,559 I just had a feeling this guy was gonna make 279 00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:52,639 noise this summer. So I had to tell that story. 280 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:54,600 I told it a few different times, got Will tell 281 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:56,960 it as well. And now here he is making day 282 00:14:57,039 --> 00:15:00,320 eight in the final twenty one players of the Wacopa event. 283 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,600 Just absolutely wild stuff. And we're in for We're in 284 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,120 for a show with Will Gibbons going forward. That's for 285 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,519 damn sure. Sean Deep is behind him thirty one point 286 00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:13,519 three million. Sean Deep is cruising. I mean, I know 287 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,120 he's not the biggest chipstack in the field, but to me, 288 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:22,360 he has to absolutely be one of the favorites. He's 289 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,799 been in these sorts of spots so many times. You 290 00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:28,600 can tell that the pressure does not get to him 291 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,279 one bit. I don't know. I just every time you 292 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,879 just looked at Sean Deeb's chip count on the screen, 293 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,720 he had a few million more than he did when 294 00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:40,320 they last showed him and I know there was some 295 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,600 up and downs in there, yes, of course, but ultimately 296 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,840 finished on relatively high here for Sean Deep thirty one 297 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,240 point three million, he's you know, towards the top half 298 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:53,799 of the pack here and cruising along. Now, Sean Deep, 299 00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:57,039 he's one of the players that Remco spoke to and 300 00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:00,759 Remko wanted to ask him about the whole implement implementation 301 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,080 of the play cocks right before play and Sean Dee 302 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,480 had some interesting takes on it. So let's hear from 303 00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:08,360 Sean Dee first and then we'll come back. We'll talk 304 00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:10,720 about that situation a little bit more. 305 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,799 Speaker 2: Sean, the big situation that came out today that there's 306 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,799 a clock and stated pre flop, What led to that 307 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,200 and what's your response to it. 308 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,799 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I've been friends with a lot 309 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:25,720 of the staff and the flour men Worldsai's Europe. A 310 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:28,279 few years ago there was issues with stalling and Andy 311 00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:30,320 was running a tournament. We talked about whether or not 312 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,879 to install shot clocks, and you know, I know last 313 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,519 year with the casuit there there's been a lot of 314 00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:37,200 discussion last few years, like they really have to implement it. 315 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,399 It's really unfair, and I saw the post you know, 316 00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:42,120 fifteen minute Tank by Lauren Klein, like, you know, it's 317 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:44,120 so unfair to the other seven tables that that table's 318 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,279 playing no hands. We might have played seven hands at 319 00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:48,639 the feature table in that time period. So you know, 320 00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:50,759 I think the floor made a good decision. I wish, 321 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,559 you know, it was a little more. A lot of 322 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,080 people never play shot clocks. I think they could have 323 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,120 been a better explanation. But luckily for the people at 324 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,960 my table, I'm giving them explanations that I know it's 325 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,440 on them, you know, try to make it. But it's 326 00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:03,559 obviously I think more people bust this level than they 327 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:07,720 would have there wasn't shot clock, And I obviously it's 328 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:10,160 better for me personally. I've played a lot with shot clock. 329 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,039 I make quick decisions. But yeah, I think it's a 330 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,599 necessary evil at this stage of determament because people were 331 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,359 too abusive on time. We don't want to go hand 332 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,880 for hand or around for round, and so this is 333 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,079 the best, you know, solution to the problem at hand. 334 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 2: The chaka has been brought up many times in the past, 335 00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:28,839 but the argument against it, for the main was always 336 00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:32,079 the majority of players are not familiar with that, and 337 00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:35,079 they're also recreational, so they might take more time in general. 338 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,480 What's your response to that. 339 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,519 Speaker 5: I think it's the opposite the pros, who take way 340 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:41,559 more time than recreational. Very few recreationals tank. It is 341 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,240 way more the pros tank than recreational. So I think, 342 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,960 if anything, this is better for the recreationals because the 343 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:49,640 pros can't sit there for seven minutes every turn and 344 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:51,519 figure out do I have one point five X spot 345 00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:53,640 or do I you know, hero call this guy? And 346 00:17:54,319 --> 00:17:56,559 so I actually think shot clocks are better for REX. 347 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,000 I think that they're going to be more impulsive, they're 348 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,200 going to make their decisions quickly. They're not gonna Hollywood 349 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,000 as much. And yeah, I think it's way worse for pros. 350 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,480 And I also think it's a better experience for the 351 00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:08,920 wreck like people sitting there, you know, people talking to me, like, dude, 352 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,519 I watched a hand where it took six minutes for 353 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:12,759 the guy to fucking check the turn, Like It's like 354 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,839 people are just went too far on time. So it's 355 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,160 a good solution. I think I'll make better TV. A 356 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,039 lot more hands are gonna be played, a lot, a 357 00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:22,079 lot more shit's gonna go down, and I'm excited to 358 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,599 see how the rest of the main turns out. 359 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,319 Speaker 1: All right, So that was deep And you heard him 360 00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:29,119 there say that he thinks that adding the clocks in 361 00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:32,240 like this benefits the recreationals more. I know there's been 362 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,279 a lot of debate about that on social media. I know, 363 00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:37,799 you know, Nick and Ali talked about it in the 364 00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:40,440 booth like it's been talked about pretty much ad nauseum, 365 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,039 you know. But I'm going to weigh in here with 366 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,359 my side of things. I can make the argument for 367 00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:50,440 both sides on who it benefits more, pros or recreationals. 368 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,599 I know producer Rich has had this long standing take 369 00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:58,359 that the Wsby main event structure is too good and 370 00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:01,559 if we want recreational to have a better chance, we 371 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,599 need to make their structure worse, to increase the variants 372 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,319 a little bit, because that's ultimately better for the recreationals, 373 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,480 even if they don't think that that is ultimately better 374 00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:12,880 for them. So I do kind of agree with deeb 375 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,720 been saying that yes, faster time can increase the variance, 376 00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:19,319 which ultimately makes it a little bit better for the recreationals. 377 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,160 Because if the pros have more time, you know, they're 378 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,279 going to be able to really put all the pieces 379 00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:28,240 of the puzzle together and get things correct. I can 380 00:19:28,319 --> 00:19:30,039 also very much agree with the other side of the 381 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,680 argument that says it's better for the pros to have 382 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,519 a shorter amount of time because they're used to this 383 00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:37,880 sort of thing and they're going to be able to 384 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,680 make more efficient decisions in a smaller window of time. 385 00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:43,920 Just think about you know, all the pros who are playing, 386 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,039 and Sean Deeve was was certainly one of these players, 387 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,440 definitely back in the day playing online. But all the 388 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,799 players who have played twelve, sixteen, twenty tables at once, 389 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,720 maybe more online at a time. Patrick Leonard is one 390 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,000 of them. I know we're going to talk about him 391 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,759 in a little bit as well, But you know, all 392 00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:02,000 these players who have played endless tables online at once, 393 00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,799 like they're constantly making super fast decisions over and over again, 394 00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:07,039 and yet is that the absolute best decision that they 395 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,240 could make, like in that given moment on one table, 396 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,759 Maybe not, because if they maybe had a little bit 397 00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,680 more time, yes, they could have made a better decision 398 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,200 if they were able to think things through and put 399 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,079 more pieces of the puzzle together and figure out the 400 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,319 problem a little bit more, of course, But if you're 401 00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:24,319 able to come to a very good decision in a 402 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,200 shorter period of time, then someone else who's lesser experienced 403 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,759 in this sort of spot than you and doesn't have 404 00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,079 all of that data already working in their brain from 405 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,720 all of the hundreds millions of hands that they've played, 406 00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:37,640 hundreds of thousands and millions of hands that they've played 407 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,480 in the past, then yeah, the pros are going to 408 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,559 be better in this spot too. So I can see 409 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,079 kind of both sides of the argument there. My big 410 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:50,279 thing is that we've always made conversation about how tournaments 411 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,279 need play clocks like this, and specifically the main event 412 00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:58,640 should have play clocks starting to be put into them. 413 00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:00,839 You know, maybe not from the beigin because the fuel 414 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,400 is just too large, but at some point put them in, 415 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,240 which I think is a fine take to make and have, 416 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,119 and I'm pretty sure that I've made that before many times. 417 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,000 I just have a big problem with implementing it right 418 00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,079 before the start of Day seven, in the middle of 419 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,839 the tournament, when this was not planned at all. Now 420 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,839 I believe keV Matt did share on social media that 421 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,400 it isn't the rules that at any time the tournament 422 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,319 staff can opt to put a play clock in if 423 00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:32,079 they if they deem that it's necessary to have one, 424 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,200 or if they want to have one. I get it, 425 00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,599 but I mean, it just seems a bit crazy to 426 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,240 do it this way when it's the biggest spot of 427 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,880 everyone's life, and that's recreationals, that's pros, that's everyone in 428 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,960 the tournament. There's so much money on the line, and 429 00:21:50,079 --> 00:21:56,279 you're just changing these rules, Like why because one guy 430 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,519 the day before tanked for fifteen or sixteen minutes? Was 431 00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:01,839 the report that was Lauren Klein on a hand? Well, 432 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,160 I mean one, players can call the clock, right, players 433 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,559 need to call the clock more. And I know it's 434 00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:09,880 hard for players at the specific table because they are 435 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,599 incentivized not to call the clock. They're just because every 436 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,119 other table can can play hands and they can all 437 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,519 lose players and we're just going to sit here and 438 00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:19,079 wait as long as possible. But that's where the tournament 439 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,559 staff needs to step in. At some point it just 440 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,319 becomes way too out of line. And I do think 441 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,119 that when you get down to the later stages of 442 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,039 a tournament of this magnitude, and this is the biggest 443 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,440 tournament in the world, the biggest spot for all of 444 00:22:36,519 --> 00:22:38,720 these players in the world that they will ever have 445 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,279 in their poker lives. You should have a tournament director 446 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,160 for each table. I don't know when that starts. Let's 447 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,680 say that starts with ten tables left. You're then able 448 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,559 to have ten tournament directors. But when there's twenty tables left, 449 00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:55,200 there's still ten tournament directors, and each of them have 450 00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:58,240 two tables to manage, right, And then there's thirty tables left, 451 00:22:58,279 --> 00:22:59,920 each of them and have three tables to manage, whatever 452 00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:02,240 that is, and that number obviously gets smaller and smaller 453 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,000 as you go on. My point is that you need 454 00:23:06,079 --> 00:23:09,000 to like physically be watching this stuff like a hawk, 455 00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:12,079 because you know this has been a problem before. Tanking 456 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,880 and stalling for the paye jumps has been an issue 457 00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:18,240 for as long as I can remember. I remember, heck 458 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,240 years ago, I don't even know the years, like maybe 459 00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:24,960 twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen. I could look it up, but 460 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,119 I'm not going to look it up right now. But 461 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,079 when I was at Pokerings at the time and we 462 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:34,279 implemented hand for hand coverage from the final three tables, 463 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,240 and I remember one of the tables was playing a 464 00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:40,319 lot slower than the other tables were playing. And so 465 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,359 the tournament staff came to us because they knew that 466 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,559 that we were, you know, covering it hand for hand, 467 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:47,880 and they asked us to give them a report whenever 468 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,160 we would ask on what hand number each table was on, 469 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,240 and then they would they would see that and they'd 470 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,039 be like, Okay, this table is on hand number thirty, 471 00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:57,920 this table is on hand number forty five. Well, this 472 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,519 one table's playing so much slower than the one. We 473 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,359 need to pause the other tables and a lot of 474 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,400 these other tables to catch up, or maybe we need 475 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,799 to go watch the one table to see what's actually 476 00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:07,440 happening there. 477 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:08,039 Speaker 4: You know. 478 00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: I know at the studio when we get down to 479 00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:13,359 certain number of tables, they're kind of soft hand for 480 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,599 handling it, and they're just they're counting how many hands 481 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,960 are being played at each table, and they're monitoring things, 482 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,240 and they're constantly pausing one table so that another table 483 00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:23,720 can catch up and everything can be played on equal footing. 484 00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:29,519 So we need that level of focus on this tournament 485 00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:32,799 when it's the biggest tournament in the world, So that 486 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,079 would have been the simple fix. Today, you come out 487 00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:38,440 ahead of time. First of all, you speak to all 488 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,960 the tournament directors you know, and you say, hey, listen, 489 00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:42,119 here's what we're going to do today. 490 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 3: Guys. 491 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: You each have these tables to cover and this is 492 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,160 what you're monitoring. And if it gets out of line, 493 00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:50,880 you need to issue warning to the players. You need 494 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,519 to start clogging them right. And then after you have 495 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,519 your talk with your staff, you can say to the 496 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,319 players in the tournament, Okay, everyone, here's the deal. This 497 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,880 is becoming issue. We've noticed it happening. We're not going 498 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,880 to implement a clock, but this is what's happening. Everyone 499 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,359 is going to be on a relatively short short leash. 500 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,920 We understand these are big moments for you and you 501 00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:13,480 need to take your time and you need to think 502 00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:16,880 about things. But if it is deemed that you guys 503 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,279 are abusing the time that is allotted to you, which 504 00:25:20,319 --> 00:25:22,720 is you know, abusing means when you bet ninety nine 505 00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:25,720 percent of your chips you leave it behind, you basically 506 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,759 say that you're Because there has been times and they 507 00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:29,160 shown it on a stream where they've been like, you 508 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,720 know what, I'm just going to tank for the pay jump. 509 00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:32,480 But I'm probably calling like they'll say stuff like that 510 00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:34,400 the players. I've been at tables when people have said that, 511 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,160 I get it, these are big pay jumps. But if 512 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,599 you're openly saying that, and you're you're betting the large 513 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,480 majority of your chips and then you should be calling 514 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:45,240 like that, that's that's abuse of the situation, okay, and 515 00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:48,000 the tournament staff should stay on top of that, and 516 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,680 then you don't need to abruptly put this clock into play, 517 00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:54,839 which in a lot of ways changes the dynamics of 518 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,440 the whole tournament. It's very weird that a decision like 519 00:25:58,519 --> 00:26:02,039 this would be made on day seven, or entering day 520 00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:04,720 seven of the biggest tournament in the world. I do 521 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,319 think that clocks need to be implemented in this tournament 522 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,079 at some stage because of the tanking and the stalling 523 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,000 that starts to happen. Yes, but doing it this way 524 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,640 just I don't think sits right with me, and I 525 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,160 don't think sits right with a lot of people. As 526 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,480 you saw from the response on social media that said 527 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,160 looks like things made it through the day. I guess 528 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000 unscathed because there wasn't a big issue that I could tell. 529 00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:31,920 I mean, I don't know if this means that next 530 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,240 year we're for sure getting the clocks on day seven 531 00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:36,519 or maybe even sooner, but I would guess that the 532 00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:39,240 answer is yes. I just would have done it a 533 00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:42,119 different way. As always, if you guys have any thoughts 534 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,640 out there and you want to hit me up directly 535 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,480 about them, you guys can hit me up on social media. 536 00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:48,960 You can also send your emails into podcasts at pokro 537 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,119 dot com and I can see what you guys happened 538 00:26:51,160 --> 00:27:08,039 to say. Hosting. Enson also bagged chips for Day eight. 539 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,920 This run is becoming absolutely freaking incredible because he won 540 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,880 this tournament in twenty nineteen and now he's in the 541 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,160 final twenty one and he looks strong, he looks cool, 542 00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:25,640 he looks calm, he looks collected, he's playing his game. 543 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,200 He looks awesome. I'm sure when you've had experience, I mean, 544 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,039 when you've had experience, many people have said it, when 545 00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:35,039 you've had experience going deep in this tournament before, you 546 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,200 then know how to do things the next time around. 547 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,720 It just really really helps you. When you've gone on 548 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:44,240 to win it before, I mean, must feel like a 549 00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:48,519 freaking superpower out there, honestly, and hosting Enson is just 550 00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:52,079 absolutely doing the damn thing. If he's able to win 551 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,880 this one, I mean, it has to be the greatest 552 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,160 feat in the modern era. 553 00:27:56,319 --> 00:27:57,079 Speaker 4: It just has to be. 554 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: I would put it ahead of Michael Mazra what he 555 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,200 did last year, and that's winning the fifty k and 556 00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:05,799 then winning the main event. If if Entson's able to 557 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,079 win two WSP main events, don't I don't know what 558 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,160 the field size was in twenty nineteen, it was probably 559 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,079 around eight or nine thousand whatever, you know, just a 560 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,559 giant field. You're playing for whatever, how many, nine, ten 561 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,400 days or whatever of actual poker across two weeks. And 562 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,480 to be able to do that twice in this era, 563 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,960 with how hard this tournament is, that's just wild shit, man, unbelievable. 564 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,119 Thomas Klack from the UK he also backtips played very well. 565 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,160 Pretty crazy stat here about Thomas Klack. He finished second 566 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,160 in I think it was twenty twenty five in a 567 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,759 tournament in the UK, a two hundred pound buy in 568 00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:49,279 the Grosvenner Goliath the tournament and he won two hundred 569 00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:52,519 pound buy him. Okay, guys, he won two hundred and 570 00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:56,880 seventeen thousand pounds. That's two hundred and ninety two thousand dollars. 571 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,119 The field size was twelve nine hundred sixty one entries. 572 00:29:01,119 --> 00:29:05,000 I mean, holy hell. Antonio Galliana is still in Mario 573 00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:10,880 Boss Han Feng, Daniel Stavas, Michael Gaggliano Gags a longtime 574 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,839 pro strong online player, a ton of experience out of 575 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,960 New Jersey. He is a bracelet winner. From twenty sixteen, 576 00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:20,960 he won the twenty five hundred dollars no limit hold 577 00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:25,200 him for four hundred and forty eight thousand dollars. Jamie 578 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,799 Schevell also a player out of the US. Now this 579 00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:32,960 is a wild stat. Shavel has cashed in the WSB 580 00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:38,720 Main Event eight times now eight times. Listen to this. 581 00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:41,400 Two thousand and nine he finished in three hundred and 582 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,920 fifth place. Twenty eleven, he got one hundredth In twenty twelve, 583 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,039 he got three hundred and seventy six. In twenty sixteen, 584 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:50,880 he got two hundred and fifty ninth. In twenty seventeen, 585 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,599 he got four hundred and fifteenth. In twenty twenty two 586 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,720 he got six hundred and thirtieth, and then in twenty 587 00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:59,799 twenty four he got thirteen hundred and tenth so eight 588 00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:03,440 w Soupete main event cashes for Jamie Chevelle, and this 589 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,640 is of course his best one to date. But that 590 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:12,759 is an absolutely incredible line of results in this tournament. 591 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,640 Just wild stuff there from Jamie Chevelle. Romaine Lewis still 592 00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:20,839 left an established French pro bracelet winner. In twenty twenty one, 593 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,400 he won the ten K Super Turbo Bounty for four 594 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:29,519 hundred and sixty three thousand dollars. Lori Saskillatti, I butchered 595 00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:32,359 that last name. I'm sorry. Finished player fifteen point six 596 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,759 million in today eight. Brock Wilson. We've talked about mister Wilson, 597 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,920 how it wasn't the best summer for him after a 598 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:41,039 great start to the year, but he's doing the damn 599 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,200 thing here. Brock Wilson had a pretty crazy day. At 600 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,400 one point he got it all in against the gentleman 601 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,200 that I just mentioned, Sascalotti. They got it all in 602 00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,720 on the turn of a king high board. Believe it 603 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:58,279 was King three deuce six. Brock Wilson had King Queen, 604 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,000 Sascalotti had Ace three and I was bluffing and he 605 00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:07,160 hit an ace on the river that knocked brock Wilson 606 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,480 down quite short, but then brock Wilson was able to 607 00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:13,319 spin it back a little bit and put thirteen point 608 00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:16,720 six million chips in the back. So that's twenty about 609 00:31:16,759 --> 00:31:20,279 twenty two and a half big blinds. Entering to day eighth, 610 00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:25,680 Greg Mueller mister FBT himself still alive and he spoke 611 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:28,960 with Remco Renkima during play today. And this is one 612 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,119 of the realist conversations that you're going to hear, because 613 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,759 you know, not a lot of people are able to 614 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,119 admit that they might have been losing motivation, they might 615 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,839 have been losing the passion for the game. But Greg 616 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,039 Mueller not only admitted that, he said, you know what, 617 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,640 I'm going to do something about it. I'm gonna buckle 618 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,319 down it and I'm gonna get serious for this Dipesope 619 00:31:46,359 --> 00:31:48,720 main event. So here's the conversation that Greg Mueller had 620 00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:49,799 with Remco. 621 00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:54,559 Speaker 2: Greg, we talked on the bubble and what you said 622 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,880 surprised me. Where you said, you know, I lost the fire, 623 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,640 I didn't really want to be here, and then you 624 00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:02,640 to commitment to yourself to go and try in the 625 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,480 main event. We're a few days later, now, like, what 626 00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:06,759 has that experience been like. 627 00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:11,799 Speaker 4: It's been amazing and a big part of it. Obviously, 628 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,240 my goal is to win the main event. Next goal 629 00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:17,359 is to get to the final table. But regardless of 630 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,319 what happens, I can. I can be proud of myself 631 00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:24,359 because I you know, I started doubting myself because of 632 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,160 the lack of effort and lost enthusiasm I had for 633 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,880 the game. And when you don't enjoy something, it's very 634 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,720 difficult to be good at. And you know, like I said, 635 00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:37,759 conversation with a couple of good buddies and they're like, 636 00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:39,480 what are you doing here? Then you know, and it 637 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,759 made me realize, don't come if you're not gonna try. So, 638 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640 you know what, Okay, the main it's not over. I'm 639 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,200 gonna go for it in the main. And I would 640 00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:56,079 say based on my focus, my time, my composure, my success, 641 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,480 I've been all in once for my tournament life and 642 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,799 I'm gonna walk away no matter what I finish, knowing 643 00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:08,720 that I can still play the game of poker. And yeah, 644 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,559 it's that that makes me proud, regardless. 645 00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:16,759 Speaker 2: Of what I do. When you say out loud that 646 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,079 you lost the fire, what are the thoughts that come 647 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,680 to mind as to how that happens or what that means. 648 00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 4: I just just you know, I need stimulation and I 649 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,880 sitting in a chair for twelve hours and getting older 650 00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:35,599 doesn't do it for me. I'm active, I like to move, 651 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,480 I like to work out. I like to go out 652 00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:39,839 with friends. I like the golf, I like to play hockey. 653 00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:42,319 And when you're playing poker, you're making the commitment to 654 00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:46,160 sit on a chair for twelve hours and causes weight gain, 655 00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:49,079 it causes bad eating habits. It's it's all things that 656 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:54,519 I don't like, and so and truthfully, you know, you 657 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,279 got to study a lot to be good, hone your craft, 658 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,319 and I'm on the golf course, I'm not studying, and 659 00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:03,480 so you know, people are are solving the game and 660 00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:06,680 it's frustrating too. So it's a combination of all these things. 661 00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:11,199 And you know these this these last week, I've been 662 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,679 intensively chatting with Bucky, my my good friend, and we 663 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,719 go over hams all the time. We're discussing. So I'm 664 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,039 learning the gto part to go with my natural poker abilities, 665 00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:28,599 my live reads, my instincts, and like I said, I'm 666 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,559 enjoying it and I'm trying. And when that combination hits 667 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,320 I'm it's proving that I still got it. 668 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 2: Did you have to remind yourself? Like, hey, I'm Greg Mueller, 669 00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:41,280 I know how I know how this works. 670 00:34:42,039 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 4: Hundred I I you know, I kind of lost my 671 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,719 identity in the poker world, so to say, because I 672 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:55,000 just had that attitude of not wanting to be there. 673 00:34:55,039 --> 00:34:58,320 And like I said, whether whether you're an actor, an athlete, 674 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,320 a pizza driver, a painter, a musician, if you don't 675 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,920 enjoy what you're doing, you're not gonna be good. And 676 00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:08,199 it just kind of came. It actually got a bit 677 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,760 heated with a buddy and I where he was giving 678 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:17,159 me some tough love and said, hey, FBT, like, if 679 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:19,760 you don't want to be here, then fly home, but 680 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,159 stop putting in these half efforts and burning money and 681 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,239 go and leaving and you know, and so like I said, 682 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,320 it's uh, yeah, I'm thrilled to be where I'm at. 683 00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:34,039 My next goal is to to get through the day 684 00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:37,559 and then and then make the final table, and then 685 00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:39,840 I'll fly home. My trainer's gonna move in with me 686 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,559 for two and a half weeks. I'm gonna drop a 687 00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:44,800 quick twenty LB's and come hungry for the final table, 688 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,960 and I mean hungry. 689 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,679 Speaker 1: You love to hear that from Greg Mueller. There very 690 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,719 much seems in tune with where he stands in this 691 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,920 whole thing, very much in tune with himself. And now 692 00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,559 the next goal is to make the final table, and 693 00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:02,679 we'll see if he can do it. Dylan Smith still 694 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,719 alive as well, one of the shorter stacks. These are 695 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,559 the shorter stacks now that we're talking about. Dylan Smith 696 00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:11,880 won the twenty twenty four WPT Seminal Hard Rock Rock 697 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,320 and Roll Poker Open for six hundred and sixty two 698 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,079 thousand dollars. He want to bracelet this summer. Earlier this 699 00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:20,880 summer twenty twenty six dos a p twenty five hundred 700 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,519 dollars mixed Big Bet for one hundred and eighty two k. 701 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,840 Dylan Smith certainly one of the best all around players 702 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,760 in the world. You can definitely tell from the way 703 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,159 he's playing this main event that he values his tournament 704 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,559 life to the utmost superiority. And it's likely because at 705 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,880 least this is my guess, is that he thinks he 706 00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:44,800 has an edge over the field, which I mean, maybe 707 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,719 not every single player in the field, but I think 708 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,239 out of all the twenty one players remaining, and for 709 00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:51,000 much of the day, of course, there was more than 710 00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:54,320 twenty one players remaining, but during this day, on Day seven, 711 00:36:54,599 --> 00:36:57,320 I would say that Dylan is in the upper the 712 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,480 upper portion, you know, a small little win let's say 713 00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:04,880 five or ten percent of top skillful players left in 714 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,599 the field. So that said, he doesn't really need to 715 00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:10,719 increase the variants. In fact, he's trying to lower the 716 00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:14,360 variants as much as possible so he's able to apply 717 00:37:14,679 --> 00:37:18,079 his skill across a greater stretch of hands, across every 718 00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:20,079 single street. You know, there were some spots where you 719 00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:22,639 could argued that he could have easily just moved all in, 720 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,039 but he opted to take a more conservative route to things, 721 00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:29,320 and ultimately it's worked out because you know, Dylan hasn't 722 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,719 had the biggest stack all throughout this tournament, but he 723 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,519 is moving on to day eight. Todd Brunson is also 724 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,480 still remaining. He's the second shortest stack heading to day eight, 725 00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:44,280 and then we have Tolga Karakaya out of Germany is 726 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,000 bringing up the rear with three million in chips. That's 727 00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:50,239 going to be I think five big lines entering a 728 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,000 day eight. So that's that's the final twenty one players. 729 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,119 Really good group of players, a very strong group of players, 730 00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:58,000 a lot of you know, a lot of big names 731 00:37:58,039 --> 00:38:01,719 in here, some top pro some really skillful players, cool stories. 732 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 3: In the mix. 733 00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:04,199 Speaker 1: I think we're in We're in store for a very 734 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,320 very fun final table. Really, no matter how this shakes out, 735 00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:09,840 it's been a lot of fun to track these players 736 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,360 all throughout, and we got one more day to get 737 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,559 down to that final table of nine. I mentioned there 738 00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:18,480 were sixty two players that came in to Day seven. 739 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,039 A handful of those that were eliminated were Kongya Zang 740 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,719 sixty first place for her, she was the last woman standing. 741 00:38:26,199 --> 00:38:30,360 Ralph Perry, he called it off incorrectly on a hero call. 742 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,039 He really went for it, but ultimately didn't work out 743 00:38:33,079 --> 00:38:35,480 for him. He had he had a pair in his hand, 744 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:36,719 he had a pair of eights and what it was 745 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,719 like third pair on board or something, but he ran 746 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,079 into his opponent's set. He busted in forty fourth place. 747 00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:47,880 We lost Jacob Thibodeau and Kay Lautenbacher forty third for Thibodeau. 748 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,719 Lautenbaker got forty second. Two guys I've played quite a 749 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,320 bit with around town here in Las Vegas. Both of 750 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,920 them are on the younger side. Both of them are 751 00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:59,000 very solid. I would expect to see much more from 752 00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:02,440 them in the future. We also lost start of day 753 00:39:02,639 --> 00:39:07,039 chip leader Tyler Gaston in thirty seventh place. We lost 754 00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:12,320 Patrick Leonard in thirty seconds. Patrick Leonard Son, I know 755 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,280 he didn't make it through the day. There was a 756 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,679 lot of love from Patrick Leonard. I'm a big PADS fan. 757 00:39:16,679 --> 00:39:21,039 I've talked about him many times on this podcast. Love 758 00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,679 what he stands for, love the grind, love his passion 759 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,079 for poker. I love it all when it comes to 760 00:39:26,159 --> 00:39:28,639 Patrick Leonard. I know a lot of people out there 761 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,800 were rooting for PADS. Ultimately, he did fall short. He 762 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,800 lost a big flip. But you know, what are you 763 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,280 gonna do when it's all said and done. But I 764 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,800 do want to play this interview that this interview that 765 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,880 Patrick did with Remco came before he busts it out, 766 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,880 so you know, I do, but I do want to 767 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,079 play it for you guys anyway, you know, before we 768 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,760 ultimately say goodbye. Here to Patrick Leonard from the wasb 769 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,280 min event. So here is Patrick Leonard talking to Remco 770 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,079 on day seven. 771 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,519 Speaker 2: We talked yesterday, and you mentioned that this is more 772 00:39:59,639 --> 00:40:03,119 about soaking in and enjoying the experience than it is 773 00:40:03,159 --> 00:40:06,920 about celebrating the wind. Potentially, Yeah, twenty years from now, 774 00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:09,639 if you were to watch back this video or think 775 00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:12,519 back of this experience, what would you hope to remember? 776 00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:17,280 Speaker 3: Probably just having fun. I think every hand there's something 777 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,079 fun about it. It's like something interesting about it, something quirky. 778 00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:24,280 It's been a very intense day because there's shot clocks 779 00:40:24,599 --> 00:40:27,159 and the four hands into the day. I use all 780 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,639 of my time banks, so I have to make every decision. Well, 781 00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:32,920 I had to make every decision within twenty seconds basically, 782 00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:37,119 So I'm playing basically blinds of like twenty five fifty 783 00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:39,719 thousand dollars, which is obviously high stakes than anywhere else 784 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,639 which is running in the world right now. So I'm 785 00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:44,920 doing it with twenty seconds at a time. So in 786 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,639 between hands, instead of necessarily having so much fun, I've 787 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,440 tried to, like, what would I do if this happens? 788 00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: This happens? 789 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,559 Speaker 3: This happens because brain solving with emotion, brain solving when 790 00:40:55,559 --> 00:40:58,119 you're tired after seven days is quite tough. It's quite 791 00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:00,320 funny because online you actually have like fifteen secons and 792 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,760 you have other tables, so people like, what are you 793 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,280 talking about? But I just haven't played quite these stakes before, 794 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,639 so it's gone a little bit less from having fun 795 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,039 and then a little bit more from intensity. And at 796 00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:14,039 this stage, I think people expected it to be like 797 00:41:14,119 --> 00:41:16,280 fifty people left and there's thirty two because the shot 798 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,519 clocks have just made it play like three times as 799 00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:20,719 many hands. So yeah, just trying to. 800 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 5: Work around that. 801 00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:27,559 Speaker 2: Basically, does the intensity and pressure come from your current 802 00:41:27,639 --> 00:41:30,440 situation being shorter, or does it also come from the moment. 803 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 3: It comes from other people as well. I feel like 804 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,199 if I think energy is like energy comes from other people. 805 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,199 You know, if if a guy at the table starts 806 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,280 being like a jerk, everyone else will kind of like 807 00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:43,599 hide away kind of thing where you have like a 808 00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:45,840 really nice guy who social whatever, everyone else just kind 809 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,559 of like comes out their shell too. So everyone's stacks 810 00:41:48,559 --> 00:41:50,519 are swinging up and down and people are losing, you know, 811 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,760 like millions of dollars in EV or winning millions of 812 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,119 dollars in EV. So you're just trying to feed up 813 00:41:55,119 --> 00:41:57,440 other people's energy. Like I don't want to necessarily crack 814 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,920 a joke with a guy who's just lost like three 815 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,840 million dollars in ev But if a guy next to me, 816 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,119 he's just one, you know, a big part, I'll give 817 00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:04,039 them a litle fish one under the table. So it's 818 00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:06,840 a yes. It was very laid back, chilled. Today is 819 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:07,559 very intense. 820 00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:09,599 Speaker 2: I would say, do you think you're one of the 821 00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:13,119 few left aware of how big this moment is? 822 00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:15,559 Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. I don't think it's lost 823 00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:18,400 on anybody. I think everyone's everyone seems to be really 824 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,880 soaked in. There has been a few spots where like 825 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,760 people are just like, let's say, gambled quote unquote. But 826 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,760 it's not necessarily the worst thing to do to gamble. Now, 827 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,760 you know, the pay rumps from two sixty five to 828 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,199 three twenty five is a lot. It's you know, over 829 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,800 fifty thousand dollars, but first place is ten million and 830 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,679 we're not that far from it now we're like last 831 00:42:35,159 --> 00:42:37,599 three and a half tables, so you have to get 832 00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:40,079 one table down and h Yeah, playing for the win 833 00:42:40,159 --> 00:42:42,960 isn't necessarily the worst thing. Especially with the shot clock 834 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,760 and intensity, you can kind of take an advantage of 835 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:45,360 a big stack. 836 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, final question, what does it take if you 837 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,320 still need to do stuff to get to that point, 838 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,199 to walk away feeling proud of your your accomplishment and 839 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:57,800 your performance. 840 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I never really feel pride, to be honest, after 841 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,559 a tournament. It's usually you always remember the hands you 842 00:43:03,639 --> 00:43:05,559 played bad or you could have done something different, rather 843 00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:08,199 than the hands you played well. So it's not usually 844 00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:11,679 an emotion I have. But I'm not sure I'm imagining. 845 00:43:12,159 --> 00:43:14,400 I try to always plan for different scenarios so that 846 00:43:14,519 --> 00:43:16,440 I don't get too overwhelmed one way or another, too 847 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,840 happy two side, And yeah, I'm kind of prepared to 848 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,960 go out as the next player, but I'm not trying to. 849 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,800 I basically, you just don't want to try to play 850 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,920 day seven waiting for Day eight tomorrow. I want to 851 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,719 play at the moment right now and try to get 852 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,320 as many chips as like I'm listening. 853 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: So that was Pad's great run for him, great score 854 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,000 of course. Now I'm sure he's gonna turn his attention 855 00:43:53,159 --> 00:43:56,119 to watching his home country of England to try and 856 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,639 bring it home in the world. Cuppie Pantaleo another player 857 00:44:01,679 --> 00:44:03,800 who I've played quite a bit with around town. He 858 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,599 busted in twenty fifth place. Fun little note about Giuseppe. 859 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,519 So I'm in the Poker Steak Giant group, theed where 860 00:44:10,599 --> 00:44:12,440 we all have to post our receipts and stuff to 861 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,840 settle all the steak in arrangements that we do on 862 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,760 poker Steak. After he busted, Giseppe posted that he hopped 863 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,480 into three k PLO six max I think or whatever 864 00:44:21,559 --> 00:44:24,599 that three k plo tournament is that that started at 865 00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:27,079 the World Series today. All the respect to him, because 866 00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:28,760 there's no way in hell I'd be able to do that. 867 00:44:29,159 --> 00:44:32,280 After busting this deep in the WSITP main event and 868 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,920 then we lost Jaulu in twenty second place. He was 869 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,280 the last player to bust on the day. He was 870 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,199 once over forty million. I'm not sure if he touched 871 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,119 fifty million or not, but he had a bowload of 872 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,039 chips and then all of a sudden he just collapsed, 873 00:44:46,159 --> 00:44:49,000 like started just losing all these different pots. He paid 874 00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:53,000 off a big bet to Jue Milan kind of late 875 00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:56,719 in the night when Jumalan had a Broadway straight and 876 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,639 Lou just had a pair of bases, so that was 877 00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:02,840 a big loss, and then ultimately busted after that and 878 00:45:03,159 --> 00:45:05,280 he was out the door in twenty second place. So 879 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,760 that leaves us with twenty one players left in the 880 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,119 World Series of Poker Main Event. They are all headed 881 00:45:11,519 --> 00:45:15,519 to Day eight on Monday. They are all guaranteed three 882 00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:19,119 hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

Those seventeen 884 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,800 players will get four hundred and ten thousand dollars and 885 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,159 then we will go from there. The goal is The 886 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,840 goal is on Monday to reach the twenty twenty six 887 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,360 WSP Main Event Final table, the final table for the 888 00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:42,719 greatest poker tournament in the world.
