Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
Speaker 1: Poker Go Podcast. It is Monday, July thirteenth. My name
Speaker 1: is Donnie Peters. It is one seventeen am. Got a
Speaker 1: little bit of pep in my step today. The meds
Speaker 1: are finally kicking in, still struggling quite a bit. Have
Speaker 1: spent the large majority of the past forty eight hours
Speaker 1: either in my bed or on my couch. I will
Speaker 1: say that the silver lining there is that I have
Speaker 1: been glued to the coverage from when it starts at
Speaker 1: twelve noon here in Vegas to when it ends around midnight.
Speaker 1: I know there's about a one or two hour break
Speaker 1: in there at some point, but I have had that
Speaker 1: thing on all minutes, all hours of the past two days,
Speaker 1: been absolutely glued to it. So that's been the fun
Speaker 1: side of things, you know. As I said, when I'm
Speaker 1: out there, I'm not always able to watch, but I
Speaker 1: try to tune in as much as I can. But
Speaker 1: being able to watch everything and see it all happen,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing like the WSP made event. There's
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing like it. Day seven is in the books.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit on everything that happened on Day six.
Speaker 1: Run you guys through that. We have a few interviews
Speaker 1: to play as well. I did stay home today, but
Speaker 1: my guy Rem Krinkima was down there at Paris getting
Speaker 1: a few conversations with some of the players in the field.
Speaker 1: Some really good stuff there that you guys are going
Speaker 1: to be able to listen to. We were throwing a
Speaker 1: little bit of a monkey wrench before the start of
Speaker 1: day seven, so we'll obviously talk about that. If you've
Speaker 1: been living under a rock, then it'll be news to you.
Speaker 1: If not, I'm gonna weigh in with my two cents
Speaker 1: on that, and yeah, that'll be the pod, nice and
Speaker 1: focused one around the w is to be made event.
Speaker 1: I don't really know what the heck is going on
Speaker 1: elsewhere at the World Series. I only really know because
Speaker 1: they're kind of checking in on some things every now
Speaker 1: and then on the coverage, like they checked in on
Speaker 1: the fifty K Nolan and Holdham winner Jamie Dwan won
Speaker 1: that one. But I am just so sucked into this
Speaker 1: main event. It's just absolutely unbelievable, and anything else that's
Speaker 1: going on around it, I just it's not that I
Speaker 1: don't care, it's just I'm all of my attention one
Speaker 1: and fifty percent of my attention is on the WSP
Speaker 1: main event, as it should be. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: great that that everyone else has stuff to play, so
Speaker 1: of course, you know, you want to take advantage that
Speaker 1: you get. All these people in town totally get it.
Speaker 1: It really is just all about the main event. So
Speaker 1: that's what we're going to be focusing on at some
Speaker 1: point in the coming days. You know, we do have
Speaker 1: that big gap between when the final table is reached
Speaker 1: and then when the final table is played, we'll have
Speaker 1: some pods in there as well, and we'll wrap up
Speaker 1: all the all the other winners on how things are going.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we got to touch on the WASIP Player
Speaker 1: of the Year race. That race itself is ever changing.
Speaker 1: I saw on social media today that Iowa Kihara had
Speaker 1: a cash in an event that allowed him to get
Speaker 1: some points to move up. I also saw that Dan
Speaker 1: and Legrand who had I think he moved up into
Speaker 1: the top five of the leader board. But that's all great,
Speaker 1: and there are still tournaments being played. But we also
Speaker 1: have to consider Sean Deep is still in the main event, right,
Speaker 1: so it's not like his points are being tallied by
Speaker 1: how far he's going and he's still alive now entering
Speaker 1: day eight, So I think there's around nineteen hundred, maybe
Speaker 1: two thousand points up top in the WSIP main event
Speaker 1: alone for the Player of the Year, So that's going
Speaker 1: to have a lot of weight on things for how
Speaker 1: that race plays out. So it's kind of it's great
Speaker 1: to pay attention to it. I love the race, it's awesome,
Speaker 1: but it's also kind of hard to actually pin down
Speaker 1: because we got Sean Deep going into this event. And
Speaker 1: if you guys remember when I talked with him way
Speaker 1: he said, you know, he made a joke like I'm
Speaker 1: probably gonna get stuck to the mainim me until day
Speaker 1: six or something like that. Well it's now gonna be
Speaker 1: day eight, and Shan deeb still, at least on his terms,
Speaker 1: stuck in the WSP main event. Well, all of us
Speaker 1: would like to be stuck in the wspre main event
Speaker 1: on day eight, mister d that's for damn sure. If

Speaker 1: All right, let's get into it. For Day seven of
Speaker 1: the WSP Main Event, sixty two players began well within
Speaker 1: the money, deep in it. At the end of it all,
Speaker 1: when the dust had settled, twenty one players remain. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have three tables of seven coming back on Monday.
Speaker 1: Malcolm Trainer, the young Australian poker sensation, is leading the
Speaker 1: way with sixty three point two million in chips. That
Speaker 1: is good enough for one hundred and five big blinds.
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, the chip leader entering the day also had
Speaker 1: one hundred and five big blinds. But more on him later.
Speaker 1: As it pertains to Malcolm Trainor twenty six years old,
Speaker 1: he's an Australian player out of Brisbane. He won the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four WSP Mystery Millions for one million dollars.
Speaker 1: Don't know how many bounties he pulled along the way,
Speaker 1: but of course he definitely added to that one million
Speaker 1: dollars score there. In that tournament, he topped a field
Speaker 1: of eighteen thousand, four hundred and nine entries. That's an
Speaker 1: absolutely mammoth field. He also won the twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: Oussie Million's Main Event ten K buying for that one
Speaker 1: in the Ozzie Million Main Event return It returned in
Speaker 1: April after I think a six year hiatus. Trainer won
Speaker 1: that for one million, three hundred and eighty two thousand
Speaker 1: Australian dollars, which equates to nine hundred and ninety thousand
Speaker 1: USD a top day field of seven hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: entries there. When he won that Ozzie Million's Main Event,
Speaker 1: Poker News was there on site doing live reporting and
Speaker 1: he spoke with Poker News after and he said, I've
Speaker 1: dedicated my life to poker the last eight years. People
Speaker 1: often see the wins, but they don't see the grind
Speaker 1: and they don't see the losing months. I mean, that's very,
Speaker 1: very true. You know, it does take a lot to
Speaker 1: be very good and very successful at poker. Yes, of course,
Speaker 1: you can just slap it out there and get lucky.
Speaker 1: That can happen, but also you know, there are plenty
Speaker 1: of players, as it sounds like Trainer is certainly one
Speaker 1: of them that put in a lot of time effort, resources,
Speaker 1: dedication to getting better improving their game. Of course, of
Speaker 1: course there are different pathways to do that, but it's
Speaker 1: great to see it all come to fruition. It all
Speaker 1: be shown. On the other end, with having some success
Speaker 1: in poker, you know, some of the best players in
Speaker 1: the world may not have giant wins like Trainer may have.
Speaker 1: And then on the clip side, you know, some of
Speaker 1: the worst players in the world might just rip off,
Speaker 1: you know, a sick heater for six months to a
Speaker 1: year or whatever it may be. As it pertains to
Speaker 1: Malcolm Trainer though everything that I've seen from him, you know,
Speaker 1: I watched a little bit of him in the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four Wsity Mister Millions tournament when he won that
Speaker 1: one at the final table, and then I've watched a
Speaker 1: lot of him, or at least as much as they
Speaker 1: have shown of him in this DISIP main event this
Speaker 1: year in his run, and he seemed like a very
Speaker 1: very solid player. Yes, there are some fortunate situations that
Speaker 1: are going his way, but that's just the variance of
Speaker 1: it all. And you know, you have to play well
Speaker 1: and then hopefully that variance can just swing your way
Speaker 1: at some points and you can be, of course the
Speaker 1: beneficiary of it, but you still have to play really
Speaker 1: good solid poker, and he has played really good solid
Speaker 1: poker the entire time. Something that benefited him earlier to
Speaker 1: On day seven, he did flop a flush in a
Speaker 1: raised pot holding the seven to five of spades against
Speaker 1: Todd Brunson. I believe it was Todd Brunson opened Malcolm
Speaker 1: trainor called in late position I think on the button
Speaker 1: became Queen Jack ate all spades and then fast forward
Speaker 1: into the river. Trainer was able to get in a
Speaker 1: river rays that got paid off by Todd Brunson. There
Speaker 1: you know one hand that did go Trainer's way in
Speaker 1: terms of a lot of luck is when he got
Speaker 1: he got all in with Ton Lee Wang. Trainer had
Speaker 1: ace five of hearts against Wang's queens. Trainer three bet
Speaker 1: and then called off to a shorter stacked Wang. He
Speaker 1: flopped a five did Trainer and turned an ace which
Speaker 1: allowed him to bust Wang. In twenty eighth place, he
Speaker 1: got a lot of good value with two pair against
Speaker 1: Giuseppe Pantaleo in a spot where he had aces and
Speaker 1: jacks against an inferior two pair of Panteleeo with Jackson eights,
Speaker 1: and then there was another spot where he got some
Speaker 1: decent value in a blind versus blind situation. Antonio Galiana
Speaker 1: had King Jack and the small blind trainer had Queen Queen.
Speaker 1: In the big blind flop was Ace Jack something trainer
Speaker 1: ended up believe it was. He betflop and then when
Speaker 1: check check turned and then he called a bet on
Speaker 1: the river I think is how it went. So he
Speaker 1: was able to get some value there out of those
Speaker 1: queens and ultimately has a relatively healthy lead. He has
Speaker 1: more than twenty million. Then second place and second place
Speaker 1: belongs to Rameyhamoud out of Canada. So a sizeable lead
Speaker 1: here for Malcolm trainor the young superstar again I said
Speaker 1: he was twenty six years old. You don't see too
Speaker 1: many young kids these days in poker, and it's great
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We always talk about that in the US as it
Speaker 1: pertains to the lack of of online poker being as
Speaker 1: widely available as it once was. But Australia is very similar.
Speaker 1: You know that they don't have online poker as widely
Speaker 1: available as they once did. I believe, at least that's
Speaker 1: my understanding of how things are now. So someone like
Speaker 1: Malcolm Traynor, who is able to come up in his
Speaker 1: younger years, in his younger twenties and have this sort
Speaker 1: of success. I think it's you know, it's truly great
Speaker 1: to see and we'll see where he goes from here.
Speaker 1: Nothing is given, of course, I know we only have
Speaker 1: one day left of play until that final table is
Speaker 1: reached on Monday. They're going to go from twenty one
Speaker 1: down to nine. They're going to reach that final table.
Speaker 1: Of course, Trainer cannot make it. That is you know
Speaker 1: that that's not been a surprise in the past, that
Speaker 1: has not happened before. But I would say that given
Speaker 1: what we know of him, given the chipley that he has,
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, he's certainly a favorite, and
Speaker 1: I expect him to make it to the final table.
Speaker 1: And I would even expect him to make it to
Speaker 1: the final table in a very solid position.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: See's someone who I think with this chip lead, coupled
Speaker 1: with the way he's playing, you know, I look at
Speaker 1: him to make it to the final table in the
Speaker 1: top let's say, top three sacks. You know, I think
Speaker 1: that's pretty pretty safe to say right now. But of course,
Speaker 1: have a long day of poker ahead of us on
Speaker 1: Monday for these guys to play. So we'll see how
Speaker 1: it all shakes out for a trainer and the rest
Speaker 1: of the field. As for the rest of the field,
Speaker 1: let's just run through the other twenty players who are
Speaker 1: joining Malcolm trainer on Day eight of the WSLP main event.
Speaker 1: I mentioned second place in chips Rami Hamoud out of
Speaker 1: Canada forty one and a half million. Right there, forty
Speaker 1: one and a half million. Trainers got sixty three point
Speaker 1: two million. That's the gap between first and second. Entering
Speaker 1: day eight of the main event. You have Lucas Juliman
Speaker 1: with forty point eight million. Jumalan is a young player.
Speaker 1: I think he's like twenty one or twenty two years old.
Speaker 1: He was talked a lot about on the broadcast. He's
Speaker 1: got a lot of friends that are out here supporting him.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: Everyone says that he's put in a lot of work,
Speaker 1: he's ready for this, he deserves it, like all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. He he played well in a lot
Speaker 1: of spots today, hold off a couple of timely bluffs,
Speaker 1: got some value, you know. So he's absolutely cruising and
Speaker 1: you can tell that Jumalan is certainly locked in. We'll see,
Speaker 1: you know how he goes from here. But he's a
Speaker 1: name that I think we need to start getting ourselves
Speaker 1: acquainted with rather quickly. He's came on to my radar
Speaker 1: in this WSP main event, and it seems like with
Speaker 1: the success he's having here, coupled by what we've seen
Speaker 1: him playing on the felt, he's going to be someone
Speaker 1: who could you know, this could be the breakout, you
Speaker 1: know for we see for the Lucas Jumalan a story
Speaker 1: to come. Eva Goru out of Cyprus thirty eight point
Speaker 1: two million. He's in fourth place, Will Gibbons behind him
Speaker 1: thirty one point seven million. Givens was another fun day
Speaker 1: with Will Gibbons. He did the whole show up late thing.
Speaker 1: He showed up lade after breaks. At one point during
Speaker 1: the last level, he just left for a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of hands like he was missing blinds everything. He did,
Speaker 1: come back, played a couple hands and then he left
Speaker 1: early like he didn't wait till I think they might
Speaker 1: have announced four hands left or something, and he just bounced.
Speaker 1: The staff bagged his chips for him. But on the
Speaker 1: way out, he did you know. Jeff Platt caught up
Speaker 1: with him as a little a little walk out of
Speaker 1: the out of the Paris ballroom there, and it was
Speaker 1: I mean, the interview was gold. You guys can go
Speaker 1: find it on Jeff Platt's Twitter account if you want
Speaker 1: to listen to it and see the interaction. But the
Speaker 1: final quote, I just have to read it to you.
Speaker 1: I wrote it down because it's just it's awesome. I mean,
Speaker 1: Jeff asked him out of all the players left, you know,
Speaker 1: who want to get heads up with, and Will started
Speaker 1: going into this thing about you know, anyone I give
Speaker 1: my chips to. If I give you my chips, I
Speaker 1: want you to be here. And then he said the
Speaker 1: closing line was, and this is the quote, you know
Speaker 1: how lions don't eat dead prey because they go for
Speaker 1: the chase. Let that sink in. There was a grunt
Speaker 1: in there at one point, I mean the whole I
Speaker 1: think he just walks off. I mean, it's just you
Speaker 1: couldn't write better stuff than Will Gibbins has given us.
Speaker 1: So that's incredible. I don't know why. I just had
Speaker 1: a feeling when I first played that freeze out several
Speaker 1: weeks ago and he sat down at the table, he
Speaker 1: started telling the whole story about how he's band Caesar's properties,
Speaker 1: it's his first time back and so many years and
Speaker 1: all this sort of thing. I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: I just had a feeling. Maybe it's just the experience
Speaker 1: being on the media side in me coming out, but
Speaker 1: I just had a feeling this guy was gonna make
Speaker 1: noise this summer. So I had to tell that story.
Speaker 1: I told it a few different times, got Will tell
Speaker 1: it as well. And now here he is making day
Speaker 1: eight in the final twenty one players of the Wacopa event.
Speaker 1: Just absolutely wild stuff. And we're in for We're in
Speaker 1: for a show with Will Gibbons going forward. That's for
Speaker 1: damn sure. Sean Deep is behind him thirty one point
Speaker 1: three million. Sean Deep is cruising. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: he's not the biggest chipstack in the field, but to me,
Speaker 1: he has to absolutely be one of the favorites. He's
Speaker 1: been in these sorts of spots so many times. You
Speaker 1: can tell that the pressure does not get to him
Speaker 1: one bit. I don't know. I just every time you
Speaker 1: just looked at Sean Deeb's chip count on the screen,
Speaker 1: he had a few million more than he did when
Speaker 1: they last showed him and I know there was some
Speaker 1: up and downs in there, yes, of course, but ultimately
Speaker 1: finished on relatively high here for Sean Deep thirty one
Speaker 1: point three million, he's you know, towards the top half
Speaker 1: of the pack here and cruising along. Now, Sean Deep,
Speaker 1: he's one of the players that Remco spoke to and
Speaker 1: Remko wanted to ask him about the whole implement implementation
Speaker 1: of the play cocks right before play and Sean Dee
Speaker 1: had some interesting takes on it. So let's hear from
Speaker 1: Sean Dee first and then we'll come back. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that situation a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Sean, the big situation that came out today that there's
Speaker 2: a clock and stated pre flop, What led to that
Speaker 2: and what's your response to it.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I've been friends with a lot
Speaker 5: of the staff and the flour men Worldsai's Europe. A
Speaker 5: few years ago there was issues with stalling and Andy
Speaker 5: was running a tournament. We talked about whether or not
Speaker 5: to install shot clocks, and you know, I know last
Speaker 5: year with the casuit there there's been a lot of
Speaker 5: discussion last few years, like they really have to implement it.
Speaker 5: It's really unfair, and I saw the post you know,
Speaker 5: fifteen minute Tank by Lauren Klein, like, you know, it's
Speaker 5: so unfair to the other seven tables that that table's
Speaker 5: playing no hands. We might have played seven hands at
Speaker 5: the feature table in that time period. So you know,
Speaker 5: I think the floor made a good decision. I wish,
Speaker 5: you know, it was a little more. A lot of
Speaker 5: people never play shot clocks. I think they could have
Speaker 5: been a better explanation. But luckily for the people at
Speaker 5: my table, I'm giving them explanations that I know it's
Speaker 5: on them, you know, try to make it. But it's
Speaker 5: obviously I think more people bust this level than they
Speaker 5: would have there wasn't shot clock, And I obviously it's
Speaker 5: better for me personally. I've played a lot with shot clock.
Speaker 5: I make quick decisions. But yeah, I think it's a
Speaker 5: necessary evil at this stage of determament because people were
Speaker 5: too abusive on time. We don't want to go hand
Speaker 5: for hand or around for round, and so this is
Speaker 5: the best, you know, solution to the problem at hand.
Speaker 2: The chaka has been brought up many times in the past,
Speaker 2: but the argument against it, for the main was always
Speaker 2: the majority of players are not familiar with that, and
Speaker 2: they're also recreational, so they might take more time in general.
Speaker 2: What's your response to that.
Speaker 5: I think it's the opposite the pros, who take way
Speaker 5: more time than recreational. Very few recreationals tank. It is
Speaker 5: way more the pros tank than recreational. So I think,
Speaker 5: if anything, this is better for the recreationals because the
Speaker 5: pros can't sit there for seven minutes every turn and
Speaker 5: figure out do I have one point five X spot
Speaker 5: or do I you know, hero call this guy? And
Speaker 5: so I actually think shot clocks are better for REX.
Speaker 5: I think that they're going to be more impulsive, they're
Speaker 5: going to make their decisions quickly. They're not gonna Hollywood
Speaker 5: as much. And yeah, I think it's way worse for pros.
Speaker 5: And I also think it's a better experience for the
Speaker 5: wreck like people sitting there, you know, people talking to me, like, dude,
Speaker 5: I watched a hand where it took six minutes for
Speaker 5: the guy to fucking check the turn, Like It's like
Speaker 5: people are just went too far on time. So it's
Speaker 5: a good solution. I think I'll make better TV. A
Speaker 5: lot more hands are gonna be played, a lot, a
Speaker 5: lot more shit's gonna go down, and I'm excited to
Speaker 5: see how the rest of the main turns out.
Speaker 1: All right, So that was deep And you heard him
Speaker 1: there say that he thinks that adding the clocks in
Speaker 1: like this benefits the recreationals more. I know there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of debate about that on social media. I know,
Speaker 1: you know, Nick and Ali talked about it in the
Speaker 1: booth like it's been talked about pretty much ad nauseum,
Speaker 1: you know. But I'm going to weigh in here with
Speaker 1: my side of things. I can make the argument for
Speaker 1: both sides on who it benefits more, pros or recreationals.
Speaker 1: I know producer Rich has had this long standing take
Speaker 1: that the Wsby main event structure is too good and
Speaker 1: if we want recreational to have a better chance, we
Speaker 1: need to make their structure worse, to increase the variants
Speaker 1: a little bit, because that's ultimately better for the recreationals,
Speaker 1: even if they don't think that that is ultimately better
Speaker 1: for them. So I do kind of agree with deeb
Speaker 1: been saying that yes, faster time can increase the variance,
Speaker 1: which ultimately makes it a little bit better for the recreationals.
Speaker 1: Because if the pros have more time, you know, they're
Speaker 1: going to be able to really put all the pieces
Speaker 1: of the puzzle together and get things correct. I can
Speaker 1: also very much agree with the other side of the
Speaker 1: argument that says it's better for the pros to have
Speaker 1: a shorter amount of time because they're used to this
Speaker 1: sort of thing and they're going to be able to
Speaker 1: make more efficient decisions in a smaller window of time.
Speaker 1: Just think about you know, all the pros who are playing,
Speaker 1: and Sean Deeve was was certainly one of these players,
Speaker 1: definitely back in the day playing online. But all the
Speaker 1: players who have played twelve, sixteen, twenty tables at once,
Speaker 1: maybe more online at a time. Patrick Leonard is one
Speaker 1: of them. I know we're going to talk about him
Speaker 1: in a little bit as well, But you know, all
Speaker 1: these players who have played endless tables online at once,
Speaker 1: like they're constantly making super fast decisions over and over again,
Speaker 1: and yet is that the absolute best decision that they
Speaker 1: could make, like in that given moment on one table,
Speaker 1: Maybe not, because if they maybe had a little bit
Speaker 1: more time, yes, they could have made a better decision
Speaker 1: if they were able to think things through and put
Speaker 1: more pieces of the puzzle together and figure out the
Speaker 1: problem a little bit more, of course, But if you're
Speaker 1: able to come to a very good decision in a
Speaker 1: shorter period of time, then someone else who's lesser experienced
Speaker 1: in this sort of spot than you and doesn't have
Speaker 1: all of that data already working in their brain from
Speaker 1: all of the hundreds millions of hands that they've played,
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands and millions of hands that they've played
Speaker 1: in the past, then yeah, the pros are going to
Speaker 1: be better in this spot too. So I can see
Speaker 1: kind of both sides of the argument there. My big
Speaker 1: thing is that we've always made conversation about how tournaments
Speaker 1: need play clocks like this, and specifically the main event
Speaker 1: should have play clocks starting to be put into them.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe not from the beigin because the fuel
Speaker 1: is just too large, but at some point put them in,
Speaker 1: which I think is a fine take to make and have,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure that I've made that before many times.
Speaker 1: I just have a big problem with implementing it right
Speaker 1: before the start of Day seven, in the middle of
Speaker 1: the tournament, when this was not planned at all. Now
Speaker 1: I believe keV Matt did share on social media that
Speaker 1: it isn't the rules that at any time the tournament
Speaker 1: staff can opt to put a play clock in if
Speaker 1: they if they deem that it's necessary to have one,
Speaker 1: or if they want to have one. I get it,
Speaker 1: but I mean, it just seems a bit crazy to
Speaker 1: do it this way when it's the biggest spot of
Speaker 1: everyone's life, and that's recreationals, that's pros, that's everyone in
Speaker 1: the tournament. There's so much money on the line, and
Speaker 1: you're just changing these rules, Like why because one guy
Speaker 1: the day before tanked for fifteen or sixteen minutes? Was
Speaker 1: the report that was Lauren Klein on a hand? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean one, players can call the clock, right, players
Speaker 1: need to call the clock more. And I know it's
Speaker 1: hard for players at the specific table because they are
Speaker 1: incentivized not to call the clock. They're just because every
Speaker 1: other table can can play hands and they can all
Speaker 1: lose players and we're just going to sit here and
Speaker 1: wait as long as possible. But that's where the tournament
Speaker 1: staff needs to step in. At some point it just
Speaker 1: becomes way too out of line. And I do think
Speaker 1: that when you get down to the later stages of
Speaker 1: a tournament of this magnitude, and this is the biggest
Speaker 1: tournament in the world, the biggest spot for all of
Speaker 1: these players in the world that they will ever have
Speaker 1: in their poker lives. You should have a tournament director
Speaker 1: for each table. I don't know when that starts. Let's
Speaker 1: say that starts with ten tables left. You're then able
Speaker 1: to have ten tournament directors. But when there's twenty tables left,
Speaker 1: there's still ten tournament directors, and each of them have
Speaker 1: two tables to manage, right, And then there's thirty tables left,
Speaker 1: each of them and have three tables to manage, whatever
Speaker 1: that is, and that number obviously gets smaller and smaller
Speaker 1: as you go on. My point is that you need
Speaker 1: to like physically be watching this stuff like a hawk,
Speaker 1: because you know this has been a problem before. Tanking
Speaker 1: and stalling for the paye jumps has been an issue
Speaker 1: for as long as I can remember. I remember, heck
Speaker 1: years ago, I don't even know the years, like maybe
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen. I could look it up, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to look it up right now. But
Speaker 1: when I was at Pokerings at the time and we
Speaker 1: implemented hand for hand coverage from the final three tables,
Speaker 1: and I remember one of the tables was playing a
Speaker 1: lot slower than the other tables were playing. And so
Speaker 1: the tournament staff came to us because they knew that
Speaker 1: that we were, you know, covering it hand for hand,
Speaker 1: and they asked us to give them a report whenever
Speaker 1: we would ask on what hand number each table was on,
Speaker 1: and then they would they would see that and they'd
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, this table is on hand number thirty,
Speaker 1: this table is on hand number forty five. Well, this
Speaker 1: one table's playing so much slower than the one. We
Speaker 1: need to pause the other tables and a lot of
Speaker 1: these other tables to catch up, or maybe we need
Speaker 1: to go watch the one table to see what's actually
Speaker 1: happening there.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I know at the studio when we get down to
Speaker 1: certain number of tables, they're kind of soft hand for
Speaker 1: handling it, and they're just they're counting how many hands
Speaker 1: are being played at each table, and they're monitoring things,
Speaker 1: and they're constantly pausing one table so that another table
Speaker 1: can catch up and everything can be played on equal footing.
Speaker 1: So we need that level of focus on this tournament
Speaker 1: when it's the biggest tournament in the world, So that
Speaker 1: would have been the simple fix. Today, you come out
Speaker 1: ahead of time. First of all, you speak to all
Speaker 1: the tournament directors you know, and you say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: here's what we're going to do today.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 1: You each have these tables to cover and this is
Speaker 1: what you're monitoring. And if it gets out of line,
Speaker 1: you need to issue warning to the players. You need
Speaker 1: to start clogging them right. And then after you have
Speaker 1: your talk with your staff, you can say to the
Speaker 1: players in the tournament, Okay, everyone, here's the deal. This
Speaker 1: is becoming issue. We've noticed it happening. We're not going
Speaker 1: to implement a clock, but this is what's happening. Everyone
Speaker 1: is going to be on a relatively short short leash.
Speaker 1: We understand these are big moments for you and you
Speaker 1: need to take your time and you need to think
Speaker 1: about things. But if it is deemed that you guys
Speaker 1: are abusing the time that is allotted to you, which
Speaker 1: is you know, abusing means when you bet ninety nine
Speaker 1: percent of your chips you leave it behind, you basically
Speaker 1: say that you're Because there has been times and they
Speaker 1: shown it on a stream where they've been like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm just going to tank for the pay jump.
Speaker 1: But I'm probably calling like they'll say stuff like that
Speaker 1: the players. I've been at tables when people have said that,
Speaker 1: I get it, these are big pay jumps. But if
Speaker 1: you're openly saying that, and you're you're betting the large
Speaker 1: majority of your chips and then you should be calling
Speaker 1: like that, that's that's abuse of the situation, okay, and
Speaker 1: the tournament staff should stay on top of that, and
Speaker 1: then you don't need to abruptly put this clock into play,
Speaker 1: which in a lot of ways changes the dynamics of
Speaker 1: the whole tournament. It's very weird that a decision like
Speaker 1: this would be made on day seven, or entering day
Speaker 1: seven of the biggest tournament in the world. I do
Speaker 1: think that clocks need to be implemented in this tournament
Speaker 1: at some stage because of the tanking and the stalling
Speaker 1: that starts to happen. Yes, but doing it this way
Speaker 1: just I don't think sits right with me, and I
Speaker 1: don't think sits right with a lot of people. As
Speaker 1: you saw from the response on social media that said
Speaker 1: looks like things made it through the day. I guess
Speaker 1: unscathed because there wasn't a big issue that I could tell.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if this means that next
Speaker 1: year we're for sure getting the clocks on day seven
Speaker 1: or maybe even sooner, but I would guess that the
Speaker 1: answer is yes. I just would have done it a
Speaker 1: different way. As always, if you guys have any thoughts
Speaker 1: out there and you want to hit me up directly
Speaker 1: about them, you guys can hit me up on social media.
Speaker 1: You can also send your emails into podcasts at pokro
Speaker 1: dot com and I can see what you guys happened
Speaker 1: to say. Hosting. Enson also bagged chips for Day eight.
Speaker 1: This run is becoming absolutely freaking incredible because he won
Speaker 1: this tournament in twenty nineteen and now he's in the
Speaker 1: final twenty one and he looks strong, he looks cool,
Speaker 1: he looks calm, he looks collected, he's playing his game.
Speaker 1: He looks awesome. I'm sure when you've had experience, I mean,
Speaker 1: when you've had experience, many people have said it, when
Speaker 1: you've had experience going deep in this tournament before, you
Speaker 1: then know how to do things the next time around.
Speaker 1: It just really really helps you. When you've gone on
Speaker 1: to win it before, I mean, must feel like a
Speaker 1: freaking superpower out there, honestly, and hosting Enson is just
Speaker 1: absolutely doing the damn thing. If he's able to win
Speaker 1: this one, I mean, it has to be the greatest
Speaker 1: feat in the modern era.
Speaker 4: It just has to be.
Speaker 1: I would put it ahead of Michael Mazra what he
Speaker 1: did last year, and that's winning the fifty k and
Speaker 1: then winning the main event. If if Entson's able to
Speaker 1: win two WSP main events, don't I don't know what
Speaker 1: the field size was in twenty nineteen, it was probably
Speaker 1: around eight or nine thousand whatever, you know, just a
Speaker 1: giant field. You're playing for whatever, how many, nine, ten
Speaker 1: days or whatever of actual poker across two weeks. And
Speaker 1: to be able to do that twice in this era,
Speaker 1: with how hard this tournament is, that's just wild shit, man, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Thomas Klack from the UK he also backtips played very well.
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy stat here about Thomas Klack. He finished second
Speaker 1: in I think it was twenty twenty five in a
Speaker 1: tournament in the UK, a two hundred pound buy in
Speaker 1: the Grosvenner Goliath the tournament and he won two hundred
Speaker 1: pound buy him. Okay, guys, he won two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand pounds. That's two hundred and ninety two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: The field size was twelve nine hundred sixty one entries.
Speaker 1: I mean, holy hell. Antonio Galliana is still in Mario
Speaker 1: Boss Han Feng, Daniel Stavas, Michael Gaggliano Gags a longtime
Speaker 1: pro strong online player, a ton of experience out of
Speaker 1: New Jersey. He is a bracelet winner. From twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: he won the twenty five hundred dollars no limit hold
Speaker 1: him for four hundred and forty eight thousand dollars. Jamie
Speaker 1: Schevell also a player out of the US. Now this
Speaker 1: is a wild stat. Shavel has cashed in the WSB
Speaker 1: Main Event eight times now eight times. Listen to this.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and nine he finished in three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifth place. Twenty eleven, he got one hundredth In twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: he got three hundred and seventy six. In twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: he got two hundred and fifty ninth. In twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: he got four hundred and fifteenth. In twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: he got six hundred and thirtieth, and then in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four he got thirteen hundred and tenth so eight
Speaker 1: w Soupete main event cashes for Jamie Chevelle, and this
Speaker 1: is of course his best one to date. But that
Speaker 1: is an absolutely incredible line of results in this tournament.
Speaker 1: Just wild stuff there from Jamie Chevelle. Romaine Lewis still
Speaker 1: left an established French pro bracelet winner. In twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: he won the ten K Super Turbo Bounty for four
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three thousand dollars. Lori Saskillatti, I butchered
Speaker 1: that last name. I'm sorry. Finished player fifteen point six
Speaker 1: million in today eight. Brock Wilson. We've talked about mister Wilson,
Speaker 1: how it wasn't the best summer for him after a
Speaker 1: great start to the year, but he's doing the damn
Speaker 1: thing here. Brock Wilson had a pretty crazy day. At
Speaker 1: one point he got it all in against the gentleman
Speaker 1: that I just mentioned, Sascalotti. They got it all in
Speaker 1: on the turn of a king high board. Believe it
Speaker 1: was King three deuce six. Brock Wilson had King Queen,
Speaker 1: Sascalotti had Ace three and I was bluffing and he
Speaker 1: hit an ace on the river that knocked brock Wilson
Speaker 1: down quite short, but then brock Wilson was able to
Speaker 1: spin it back a little bit and put thirteen point
Speaker 1: six million chips in the back. So that's twenty about
Speaker 1: twenty two and a half big blinds. Entering to day eighth,
Speaker 1: Greg Mueller mister FBT himself still alive and he spoke
Speaker 1: with Remco Renkima during play today. And this is one
Speaker 1: of the realist conversations that you're going to hear, because
Speaker 1: you know, not a lot of people are able to
Speaker 1: admit that they might have been losing motivation, they might
Speaker 1: have been losing the passion for the game. But Greg
Speaker 1: Mueller not only admitted that, he said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do something about it. I'm gonna buckle
Speaker 1: down it and I'm gonna get serious for this Dipesope
Speaker 1: main event. So here's the conversation that Greg Mueller had
Speaker 1: with Remco.
Speaker 2: Greg, we talked on the bubble and what you said
Speaker 2: surprised me. Where you said, you know, I lost the fire,
Speaker 2: I didn't really want to be here, and then you
Speaker 2: to commitment to yourself to go and try in the
Speaker 2: main event. We're a few days later, now, like, what
Speaker 2: has that experience been like.
Speaker 4: It's been amazing and a big part of it. Obviously,
Speaker 4: my goal is to win the main event. Next goal
Speaker 4: is to get to the final table. But regardless of
Speaker 4: what happens, I can. I can be proud of myself
Speaker 4: because I you know, I started doubting myself because of
Speaker 4: the lack of effort and lost enthusiasm I had for
Speaker 4: the game. And when you don't enjoy something, it's very
Speaker 4: difficult to be good at. And you know, like I said,
Speaker 4: conversation with a couple of good buddies and they're like,
Speaker 4: what are you doing here? Then you know, and it
Speaker 4: made me realize, don't come if you're not gonna try. So,
Speaker 4: you know what, Okay, the main it's not over. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go for it in the main. And I would
Speaker 4: say based on my focus, my time, my composure, my success,
Speaker 4: I've been all in once for my tournament life and
Speaker 4: I'm gonna walk away no matter what I finish, knowing
Speaker 4: that I can still play the game of poker. And yeah,
Speaker 4: it's that that makes me proud, regardless.
Speaker 2: Of what I do. When you say out loud that
Speaker 2: you lost the fire, what are the thoughts that come
Speaker 2: to mind as to how that happens or what that means.
Speaker 4: I just just you know, I need stimulation and I
Speaker 4: sitting in a chair for twelve hours and getting older
Speaker 4: doesn't do it for me. I'm active, I like to move,
Speaker 4: I like to work out. I like to go out
Speaker 4: with friends. I like the golf, I like to play hockey.
Speaker 4: And when you're playing poker, you're making the commitment to
Speaker 4: sit on a chair for twelve hours and causes weight gain,
Speaker 4: it causes bad eating habits. It's it's all things that
Speaker 4: I don't like, and so and truthfully, you know, you
Speaker 4: got to study a lot to be good, hone your craft,
Speaker 4: and I'm on the golf course, I'm not studying, and
Speaker 4: so you know, people are are solving the game and
Speaker 4: it's frustrating too. So it's a combination of all these things.
Speaker 4: And you know these this these last week, I've been
Speaker 4: intensively chatting with Bucky, my my good friend, and we
Speaker 4: go over hams all the time. We're discussing. So I'm
Speaker 4: learning the gto part to go with my natural poker abilities,
Speaker 4: my live reads, my instincts, and like I said, I'm
Speaker 4: enjoying it and I'm trying. And when that combination hits
Speaker 4: I'm it's proving that I still got it.
Speaker 2: Did you have to remind yourself? Like, hey, I'm Greg Mueller,
Speaker 2: I know how I know how this works.
Speaker 4: Hundred I I you know, I kind of lost my
Speaker 4: identity in the poker world, so to say, because I
Speaker 4: just had that attitude of not wanting to be there.
Speaker 4: And like I said, whether whether you're an actor, an athlete,
Speaker 4: a pizza driver, a painter, a musician, if you don't
Speaker 4: enjoy what you're doing, you're not gonna be good. And
Speaker 4: it just kind of came. It actually got a bit
Speaker 4: heated with a buddy and I where he was giving
Speaker 4: me some tough love and said, hey, FBT, like, if
Speaker 4: you don't want to be here, then fly home, but
Speaker 4: stop putting in these half efforts and burning money and
Speaker 4: go and leaving and you know, and so like I said,
Speaker 4: it's uh, yeah, I'm thrilled to be where I'm at.
Speaker 4: My next goal is to to get through the day
Speaker 4: and then and then make the final table, and then
Speaker 4: I'll fly home. My trainer's gonna move in with me
Speaker 4: for two and a half weeks. I'm gonna drop a
Speaker 4: quick twenty LB's and come hungry for the final table,
Speaker 4: and I mean hungry.
Speaker 1: You love to hear that from Greg Mueller. There very
Speaker 1: much seems in tune with where he stands in this
Speaker 1: whole thing, very much in tune with himself. And now
Speaker 1: the next goal is to make the final table, and
Speaker 1: we'll see if he can do it. Dylan Smith still
Speaker 1: alive as well, one of the shorter stacks. These are
Speaker 1: the shorter stacks now that we're talking about. Dylan Smith
Speaker 1: won the twenty twenty four WPT Seminal Hard Rock Rock
Speaker 1: and Roll Poker Open for six hundred and sixty two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. He want to bracelet this summer. Earlier this
Speaker 1: summer twenty twenty six dos a p twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars mixed Big Bet for one hundred and eighty two k.
Speaker 1: Dylan Smith certainly one of the best all around players
Speaker 1: in the world. You can definitely tell from the way
Speaker 1: he's playing this main event that he values his tournament
Speaker 1: life to the utmost superiority. And it's likely because at
Speaker 1: least this is my guess, is that he thinks he
Speaker 1: has an edge over the field, which I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: not every single player in the field, but I think
Speaker 1: out of all the twenty one players remaining, and for
Speaker 1: much of the day, of course, there was more than
Speaker 1: twenty one players remaining, but during this day, on Day seven,
Speaker 1: I would say that Dylan is in the upper the
Speaker 1: upper portion, you know, a small little win let's say
Speaker 1: five or ten percent of top skillful players left in
Speaker 1: the field. So that said, he doesn't really need to
Speaker 1: increase the variants. In fact, he's trying to lower the
Speaker 1: variants as much as possible so he's able to apply
Speaker 1: his skill across a greater stretch of hands, across every
Speaker 1: single street. You know, there were some spots where you
Speaker 1: could argued that he could have easily just moved all in,
Speaker 1: but he opted to take a more conservative route to things,
Speaker 1: and ultimately it's worked out because you know, Dylan hasn't
Speaker 1: had the biggest stack all throughout this tournament, but he
Speaker 1: is moving on to day eight. Todd Brunson is also
Speaker 1: still remaining. He's the second shortest stack heading to day eight,
Speaker 1: and then we have Tolga Karakaya out of Germany is
Speaker 1: bringing up the rear with three million in chips. That's
Speaker 1: going to be I think five big lines entering a
Speaker 1: day eight. So that's that's the final twenty one players.
Speaker 1: Really good group of players, a very strong group of players,
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, a lot of big names
Speaker 1: in here, some top pro some really skillful players, cool stories.
Speaker 3: In the mix.
Speaker 1: I think we're in We're in store for a very
Speaker 1: very fun final table. Really, no matter how this shakes out,
Speaker 1: it's been a lot of fun to track these players
Speaker 1: all throughout, and we got one more day to get
Speaker 1: down to that final table of nine. I mentioned there
Speaker 1: were sixty two players that came in to Day seven.
Speaker 1: A handful of those that were eliminated were Kongya Zang
Speaker 1: sixty first place for her, she was the last woman standing.
Speaker 1: Ralph Perry, he called it off incorrectly on a hero call.
Speaker 1: He really went for it, but ultimately didn't work out
Speaker 1: for him. He had he had a pair in his hand,
Speaker 1: he had a pair of eights and what it was
Speaker 1: like third pair on board or something, but he ran
Speaker 1: into his opponent's set. He busted in forty fourth place.
Speaker 1: We lost Jacob Thibodeau and Kay Lautenbacher forty third for Thibodeau.
Speaker 1: Lautenbaker got forty second. Two guys I've played quite a
Speaker 1: bit with around town here in Las Vegas. Both of
Speaker 1: them are on the younger side. Both of them are
Speaker 1: very solid. I would expect to see much more from
Speaker 1: them in the future. We also lost start of day
Speaker 1: chip leader Tyler Gaston in thirty seventh place. We lost
Speaker 1: Patrick Leonard in thirty seconds. Patrick Leonard Son, I know
Speaker 1: he didn't make it through the day. There was a
Speaker 1: lot of love from Patrick Leonard. I'm a big PADS fan.
Speaker 1: I've talked about him many times on this podcast. Love
Speaker 1: what he stands for, love the grind, love his passion
Speaker 1: for poker. I love it all when it comes to
Speaker 1: Patrick Leonard. I know a lot of people out there
Speaker 1: were rooting for PADS. Ultimately, he did fall short. He
Speaker 1: lost a big flip. But you know, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do when it's all said and done. But I
Speaker 1: do want to play this interview that this interview that
Speaker 1: Patrick did with Remco came before he busts it out,
Speaker 1: so you know, I do, but I do want to
Speaker 1: play it for you guys anyway, you know, before we
Speaker 1: ultimately say goodbye. Here to Patrick Leonard from the wasb
Speaker 1: min event. So here is Patrick Leonard talking to Remco
Speaker 1: on day seven.
Speaker 2: We talked yesterday, and you mentioned that this is more
Speaker 2: about soaking in and enjoying the experience than it is
Speaker 2: about celebrating the wind. Potentially, Yeah, twenty years from now,
Speaker 2: if you were to watch back this video or think
Speaker 2: back of this experience, what would you hope to remember?
Speaker 3: Probably just having fun. I think every hand there's something
Speaker 3: fun about it. It's like something interesting about it, something quirky.
Speaker 3: It's been a very intense day because there's shot clocks
Speaker 3: and the four hands into the day. I use all
Speaker 3: of my time banks, so I have to make every decision. Well,
Speaker 3: I had to make every decision within twenty seconds basically,
Speaker 3: So I'm playing basically blinds of like twenty five fifty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, which is obviously high stakes than anywhere else
Speaker 3: which is running in the world right now. So I'm
Speaker 3: doing it with twenty seconds at a time. So in
Speaker 3: between hands, instead of necessarily having so much fun, I've
Speaker 3: tried to, like, what would I do if this happens?
Speaker 1: This happens?
Speaker 3: This happens because brain solving with emotion, brain solving when
Speaker 3: you're tired after seven days is quite tough. It's quite
Speaker 3: funny because online you actually have like fifteen secons and
Speaker 3: you have other tables, so people like, what are you
Speaker 3: talking about? But I just haven't played quite these stakes before,
Speaker 3: so it's gone a little bit less from having fun
Speaker 3: and then a little bit more from intensity. And at
Speaker 3: this stage, I think people expected it to be like
Speaker 3: fifty people left and there's thirty two because the shot
Speaker 3: clocks have just made it play like three times as
Speaker 3: many hands. So yeah, just trying to.
Speaker 5: Work around that.
Speaker 2: Basically, does the intensity and pressure come from your current
Speaker 2: situation being shorter, or does it also come from the moment.
Speaker 3: It comes from other people as well. I feel like
Speaker 3: if I think energy is like energy comes from other people.
Speaker 3: You know, if if a guy at the table starts
Speaker 3: being like a jerk, everyone else will kind of like
Speaker 3: hide away kind of thing where you have like a
Speaker 3: really nice guy who social whatever, everyone else just kind
Speaker 3: of like comes out their shell too. So everyone's stacks
Speaker 3: are swinging up and down and people are losing, you know,
Speaker 3: like millions of dollars in EV or winning millions of
Speaker 3: dollars in EV. So you're just trying to feed up
Speaker 3: other people's energy. Like I don't want to necessarily crack
Speaker 3: a joke with a guy who's just lost like three
Speaker 3: million dollars in ev But if a guy next to me,
Speaker 3: he's just one, you know, a big part, I'll give
Speaker 3: them a litle fish one under the table. So it's
Speaker 3: a yes. It was very laid back, chilled. Today is
Speaker 3: very intense.
Speaker 2: I would say, do you think you're one of the
Speaker 2: few left aware of how big this moment is?
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. I don't think it's lost
Speaker 3: on anybody. I think everyone's everyone seems to be really
Speaker 3: soaked in. There has been a few spots where like
Speaker 3: people are just like, let's say, gambled quote unquote. But
Speaker 3: it's not necessarily the worst thing to do to gamble. Now,
Speaker 3: you know, the pay rumps from two sixty five to
Speaker 3: three twenty five is a lot. It's you know, over
Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars, but first place is ten million and
Speaker 3: we're not that far from it now we're like last
Speaker 3: three and a half tables, so you have to get
Speaker 3: one table down and h Yeah, playing for the win
Speaker 3: isn't necessarily the worst thing. Especially with the shot clock
Speaker 3: and intensity, you can kind of take an advantage of
Speaker 3: a big stack.
Speaker 2: So yeah, final question, what does it take if you
Speaker 2: still need to do stuff to get to that point,
Speaker 2: to walk away feeling proud of your your accomplishment and
Speaker 2: your performance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never really feel pride, to be honest, after
Speaker 3: a tournament. It's usually you always remember the hands you
Speaker 3: played bad or you could have done something different, rather
Speaker 3: than the hands you played well. So it's not usually
Speaker 3: an emotion I have. But I'm not sure I'm imagining.
Speaker 3: I try to always plan for different scenarios so that
Speaker 3: I don't get too overwhelmed one way or another, too
Speaker 3: happy two side, And yeah, I'm kind of prepared to
Speaker 3: go out as the next player, but I'm not trying to.
Speaker 3: I basically, you just don't want to try to play
Speaker 3: day seven waiting for Day eight tomorrow. I want to
Speaker 3: play at the moment right now and try to get
Speaker 3: as many chips as like I'm listening.
Speaker 1: So that was Pad's great run for him, great score
Speaker 1: of course. Now I'm sure he's gonna turn his attention
Speaker 1: to watching his home country of England to try and
Speaker 1: bring it home in the world. Cuppie Pantaleo another player
Speaker 1: who I've played quite a bit with around town. He
Speaker 1: busted in twenty fifth place. Fun little note about Giuseppe.
Speaker 1: So I'm in the Poker Steak Giant group, theed where
Speaker 1: we all have to post our receipts and stuff to
Speaker 1: settle all the steak in arrangements that we do on
Speaker 1: poker Steak. After he busted, Giseppe posted that he hopped
Speaker 1: into three k PLO six max I think or whatever
Speaker 1: that three k plo tournament is that that started at
Speaker 1: the World Series today. All the respect to him, because
Speaker 1: there's no way in hell I'd be able to do that.
Speaker 1: After busting this deep in the WSITP main event and
Speaker 1: then we lost Jaulu in twenty second place. He was
Speaker 1: the last player to bust on the day. He was
Speaker 1: once over forty million. I'm not sure if he touched
Speaker 1: fifty million or not, but he had a bowload of
Speaker 1: chips and then all of a sudden he just collapsed,
Speaker 1: like started just losing all these different pots. He paid
Speaker 1: off a big bet to Jue Milan kind of late
Speaker 1: in the night when Jumalan had a Broadway straight and
Speaker 1: Lou just had a pair of bases, so that was
Speaker 1: a big loss, and then ultimately busted after that and
Speaker 1: he was out the door in twenty second place. So
Speaker 1: that leaves us with twenty one players left in the
Speaker 1: World Series of Poker Main Event. They are all headed
Speaker 1: to Day eight on Monday. They are all guaranteed three
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. The next pay jump
Speaker 1: will be when there are seventeen players left. Those seventeen
Speaker 1: players will get four hundred and ten thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: then we will go from there. The goal is The
Speaker 1: goal is on Monday to reach the twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: WSP Main Event Final table, the final table for the
Speaker 1: greatest poker tournament in the world. The final nine are
Speaker 1: all guaranteed. Once they get there, they will all be
Speaker 1: guaranteed one million dollars with a giant a massive shout out,
Speaker 1: massive ten million dollars up top. I mean, this has
Speaker 1: been freaking awesome to watch from start to finish. I
Speaker 1: will be watching as much as I can on Monday,
Speaker 1: and of course be watching the final table as always.
Speaker 1: You guys need to tune in to the coverage because
Speaker 1: it is blockbuster out there. I can't wait to see it. Shawnde,
Speaker 1: Will Givens and so on doing the thing. We got
Speaker 1: the young, the young, an up and coming Aussie Malcolm
Speaker 1: trainor I mean, it's just it's so cool to see
Speaker 1: all of this come together and I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see how it all unfolds and what the final nine
