00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,519
absolutely positively historic night here at the World Series of

00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:33,359
Poker Historic forty eight hours, to be quite honest, shina

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:41,119
Okamoto more like shina Oka Godo. Okay, that's right, buddy,

7
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:48,240
that's right. That's why they's, Oh my god, it's so mad.

8
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,799
The thing is that you can't Here's the thing, and

9
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,520
I've talked with producer with trying with some people like

10
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,640
this before, is that like you can't be in the middle, right.

11
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:01,520
You have to be like so good that it's good,

12
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,840
Like like when I see Poker Gros like Mainset production,

13
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,400
like it's so good that it's good. Right, So that's

14
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,439
like the top of the top. Or you have to

15
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,760
be like so bad that it's bad but it's good,

16
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,519
you know what I mean? Like when I see like

17
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:16,959
like the example of this, and I freaking love the guy,

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,319
but Worldwide Wide brought Pereze, like when he fires up

19
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:23,599
his like late night with Wobbs after NBA games and

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,640
it's just like him on his iPhone on Twitter or whatever,

21
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:30,400
just like talking into a camera like there's no special lighting.

22
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,920
He's not in a studio, like he's in his living

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,480
room like whatever. You know, it's just like it's just

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,239
off the cough, it's raw, it's whatever. So, yeah, that

25
00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:39,200
joke was so bad that it's good. That was my

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,640
dad joke. I got two kids, I'm allowed to say

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,959

00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,680
We got Shena Okamoto aka Sena Oka. God Baby.

132
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: How many times are we gonna say this?

133
00:06:57,519 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: You've probably probably fourteen time.

134
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: Let me come on.

135
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: Okamoto does it again. She successfully defends her title in

136
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,279
the Ladies Championship here at the World Series of Poker. Now,

137
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,319
not only does she defend her title first place last

138
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,279
year in twenty twenty four, first place this year twenty

139
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,680
twenty five. In twenty twenty three, she got second. We've

140
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,800
talked about it a lot already, so I know I'm

141
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,639
repeating myself by saying she went second, first, first in

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,879
three consecutive years, but I cannot state enough how freaking

143
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:29,959
awesome that is. She won one hundred and eighty four

144
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:33,319
thousand dollars this year. If you run the numbers on

145
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,079
the probability of finishing in the top two spots in

146
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,399
twenty twenty three out of a field of twelve hundred,

147
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,079
finishing first in a field of twelve hundred and twenty

148
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,839
twenty four, and finishing first in a field of thirteen

149
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,439
hundred in twenty twenty five.

150
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: The answer, what is it? Fifty to fifty. Either happens

151
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,680
or it doesn't. Okay, right, I'm sure, Am I right?

152
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Everybody?

153
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: But am I wrong? Any that happens? Yeah, that doesn't happen. Yeah, fifteen.

154
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,439
Speaker 1: Any time you want to play heads of her roles,

155
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:05,240
let's let's go one in nine hundred and thirty million.

156
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: That's a big number, big big.

157
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: Now, that's the sort of scale we're dealing with here.

158
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:12,759
Speaker 2: That this happened.

159
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: It should absolutely be celebrated, absolutely be championed far and wide.

160
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,360
Part of this what makes this such a cool story now,

161
00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:27,800
the accomplishment is simply incredible, absolutely extraordinary, Right, I mean,

162
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:31,439
it's like just gasoline on the fire that she's Japanese.

163
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,279
Japan is a burgeoning market, like it's ready to explode

164
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,320
should things break a certain way, and poker has becoming

165
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,960
been becoming, you know, a little bit more culturally relevant

166
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,360
over there in Japan. So that's great. You know Masada Yokosawa,

167
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:51,080
the superstar Japanese logger. Every time that guy plus a

168
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:53,679
log about poker, he gets a million views. I mean,

169
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,039
it's it's wild how big it is or how big

170
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,240
he is. Right just looking at Shina Okamoto's Twitter, for example,

171
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,399
anytime she was posting about the event. Now, it's not

172
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,240
like she has no followers. She does have I think

173
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:08,600
thirty five thousand followers. It's probably a few more after

174
00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:12,960
what happened tonight, but you know, it's thousands of likes,

175
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,679
hundreds of retweets. You know, however, many comments like it's

176
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,320
there's a lot of buzz around her, So there is

177
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:23,360
something happening here. And I mean just speaking to the

178
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:29,919
just speaking to the accomplishment itself. Okay. We always talk

179
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,279
about consistency, you know, we talk about it a lot

180
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,200
when it comes to poker, because that is oftentimes like

181
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,480
a measure that we can grade things on, Like, yeah,

182
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,759
anyone can kind of get hot here and there, but

183
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,799
to do it repeatedly, I mean, that's like this holy

184
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,200
grail that people just hope to latch onto and find.

185
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:52,120
And what Shina Okamoto did is you know, it's honestly

186
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,759
the way that she performed in this event is beyond consistency.

187
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,240
She dominated. Yeah, I know she didn't win that first time,

188
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,200
she finished second, right, but the second time around dominated

189
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,799
this final table tonight dominated. You know, it's absolutely just crazy,

190
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:09,519
Like she's not on a heater. She is writing her

191
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,360
legacy in real time. And like I feel like I'm

192
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,080
gonna remember this as the Sena Okamota era, Like this

193
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,159
is her era.

194
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: So twenty twenty three she was the chipleader unfinished second

195
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,639
like that's yeah three found was she the chipular last year?

196
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,960
I think she went to the found right now? That

197
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:34,519
is usself is just I mean inside, she's the most

198
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:36,799
accomplished player in the history of this event handed down,

199
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Like that's not even debatable. And this is one of

200
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,320
the greatest feats in all of poker, all the WSP,

201
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,240
in all of history. She was not the chip Ladaka

202
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,080
in twenty twenty four when she won, but she was

203
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,840
literally nine big blinds out of one hundred and twenty something.

204
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,919
Speaker 1: I highly doubt anyone's ever going to do this again.

205
00:10:57,159 --> 00:11:00,399
I mean now I'll say that until Okamoto aka Oka

206
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,919
Goodo runs it back in twenty twenty six, right, I mean,

207
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,960
because that's what's gonna happen.

208
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Grime is probably gonna win five.

209
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:12,039
Speaker 1: You're gonna win his fifth, his fifth PPC, and Okamoto

210
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,320
is gonna win the Ladies Championship once again. Back to

211
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:17,799
back events, or back to back wins in an event

212
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,960
is extremely Where we talked about, you know, a couple

213
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:24,720
episodes ago. Obviously, you know, we talked a lot about

214
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:27,919
not not this year, but in past years, Adam Friedman

215
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,720
and the Dealer's Choice, the ten k Dealers Choice winning

216
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,519
it three years in a row.

217
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: There's not that many to win just to go back

218
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,080
to back in general in the world.

219
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: I know, it's absolutely crazy. And then you do it

220
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,799
in a large field tournament, no limit hold them like,

221
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,919
there's just there's a lot of variants involved in right,

222
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,720
and you have to be able to like you just

223
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,960
get through the minefield, like you just can't lose. Like

224
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,879
it's just the whole thing is just absurd to me,

225
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:50,679
It really is.

226
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: I know, I'm the stats man and I'm going to

227
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:54,519
go out on a limb and say this is probably

228
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,440
the biggest ever back to back in WSP history. You know,

229
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,840
got those smaller main events in the early years. We've

230
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:04,440
got Adam Friedman you mentioned, we've got Dan Keats in

231
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,080
the PPC. We've got Aaron Cummings from a few days

232
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,279
ago in the deuce. But those fields are we're talking

233
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:15,360
you know, a couple hundred, you know, fifty in the PPC.

234
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:21,679
This is thousands, just completely completely different scale of things,

235
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600
so even more impressive. And you know, didn't we talk

236
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,840
the other day about like the greatest accomplishments w this

237
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,279
we have to put this somewhere on that on that

238
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,039
tree for accomplishments just I don't know where it is,

239
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,279
but it's up there somewhere, just due to the field size.

240
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,879
And you know, even throwing in you know, we talk

241
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:42,840
about Johnny Chang going win, win, second, second to helmet,

242
00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:45,279
this is like the opposite second win, win, you know,

243
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:48,360
but in massive fields. So yeah, it's right up there.

244
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,519
Speaker 1: Has to be I think also something needs to be said,

245
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:53,679
like you get so close in poker, and we've seen

246
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,320
it at times. You know, she got second in twenty

247
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,240
twenty three, could have been some heartbreak, could have been

248
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,840
like you know what I'm so close could have messed

249
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:04,960
with her mentally, but you know, instead, look at what

250
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,159
this is turned into. And then she comes well, she

251
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,080
runs it back, right, she wins it. Then she shows

252
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,960
up this year and like that, I mean for sure

253
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,600
when when she was coming into the event this year,

254
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:20,200
even I thought it and probably said it that this

255
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,080
is like her event. You know, let's see how she does.

256
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,440
Especially she she gets a chip lead early on, right,

257
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,559
and we're like, oh my gosh, she's doing it again.

258
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,960
Here we go. And once that starts happening and people

259
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,120
start talking about it, I mean you can start hearing

260
00:13:34,159 --> 00:13:37,720
the whispers, you can start seeing the messages or whatnot,

261
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,960
or like is she gonna do it? Is she going

262
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,200
to do what type of thing? And that means the

263
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,759
pressure builds mm hmm. And then she goes into the

264
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,360
found table with the chipley. She freaking dominated this found table.

265
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:49,240
I mean, just amazing stuff from start to finish. So

266
00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:53,639
like having that mental fortitude to get through this all

267
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,240
is also you know, part of this being able to

268
00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:59,200
execute on poker's biggest stage. And she did that, and

269
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,480
she did it, you know, three consecutive years back to

270
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360
back years as a winner and then I mentioned that

271
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,039
the Japan thing and how that ties in. You know,

272
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,639
she's she's from Japan. It is untapped there. You know,

273
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:16,080
I know that poker is starting to gain some legs.

274
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,159
You know, there's some events that are like part of

275
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,080
more poker clubs than they are like actual like casinos

276
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,600
and stuff like that. It's because the restrictions on real

277
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,000
money gaming there are still holding things back. But you know,

278
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:31,840
there's been talks about if and when a casino opens there.

279
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,000
You know, I remember my time at the WPT. You

280
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:37,399
know we did we did a partnership or whatever with

281
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,200
some people in Japan, and I can't remember exactly, but

282
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:46,639
the idea is, like listen, we at the WPT when

283
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:48,360
I was there, It's like, we want to be positioned

284
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,360
that when this market does open up, if it does

285
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:52,240
open up, we want to just be able to go

286
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:55,320
flying in there right away. Because I think everyone sees

287
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,679
the potential that Japan has. I think a lot of

288
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:01,440
what people see with that potential is you know when

289
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,519
you see a Masata Yokosawa post of log and it

290
00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:07,399
gets snap a million views. When you see you know,

291
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:10,840
Shina Okamoto generating the buzz that she's generating when she

292
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:12,840
posts on social media like that, there is a ton

293
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:16,600
of buzz there some of those you know, clubish events

294
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:19,519
or whatever however you want to you know, classify them

295
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:23,080
in Japan. I mean that they get big numbers, big turnouts, right,

296
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:27,559
So there definitely is a market that is ready to

297
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,960
expand rapidly explode there. I mean, it just a matter

298
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,159
if it ends up happening. The cultural legitimacy of poker

299
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,480
is growing in Japan, so that's why this matters on

300
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,320
that scale. You know, it can and it should inspire,

301
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:45,320
It should certainly open doors. You know however you want

302
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,720
to frame that part of the conversation. So I'm here

303
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:51,639
for it, you know, let's go. And then I also

304
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:55,399
don't want to overlook the fact that this forty eight

305
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,279
hour stretch that we've had has been amazing. Yes, Michael

306
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,639
the grind Dermans Rocky first, that was last night, he

307
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,799
cements his legacy with a fourth PPC title. I mean,

308
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:11,240
just wild shit right there, absolutely wild shit. And then

309
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,879
Sheena Okamoa does this or Shea Okagoto as I keep

310
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:19,360
calling us, I mean, come on, you know you know

311
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,080
what I feel, you know what I thought of when

312
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,120
and This is funny because of what's been happening today

313
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:26,519
on the internet. When I thought of the Sena Okagoto thing,

314
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,480
because I obviously wrote in the rundown Sheina Okamoto more

315
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:33,320
like dot dot dot, because then I was gonna drop

316
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,200
it on the thing. But what what made me think

317
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,679
of it was Dave Portnoy and how he has these

318
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,519
stupid like nicknames and whatever and things. And then it's

319
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:44,840
just funny that there's like a video going around today

320
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:47,399
on the internet about some guy freaking out at a

321
00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:50,480
pizza shop, like like he like hits the pizza out

322
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,120
of the guy's hand, Like, no, it's not Dave, but

323
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:58,440
if you glance quickly, it looks like Dave. Like if

324
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,559
you don't fully like followed and like watches reviews or whatever,

325
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:03,080
you might be like, oh, that's Stave Porton. And I

326
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,039
think the tweet says like that Dave port Andy like

327
00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:09,079
what an a hole, like whatever, but it's it's not him,

328
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,480
so but it's just it's funny that that's getting buzzed.

329
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,920
And I was thinking about the whole Sina Okagoto thing,

330
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,160
and like basically how Dave Portnoy attaches himself to Caitlyn Clark.

331
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,839
I'm just gonna attach myself to Sina Okagoto. That's fair enough, right,

332
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,240
That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get a goat,

333
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,880
I'm gonna put two bracelets around his neck, and I'm

334
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,079
gonna walk around this place because that's what I'm doing.

335
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 2: Definitely.

336
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, forty eight hour stretch here, Michael

337
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,480
the grinderb is Rocky. Now you have Sena Okamoto. I mean,

338
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,319
it's just absolutely outstanding greatness on display this summer. You know,

339
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:45,599
Miss Rocky's the guy who's already a legend, winning three

340
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,640
three PPC titles, you know, six gold racelets. That is

341
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,440
just absolutely incredible. Then he goes on and wins a

342
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,400
fourth for his seventh go racelet I mean hello, And

343
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,000
then you know sheena like she's she's like it's it's

344
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,279
it's it's an interesting thing because I think she's a

345
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,480
legend like already, but she's also like building her legendary

346
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,839
status in real time. So it's like both things are

347
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,799
happening in at once because to go second first first,

348
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,000
you're a freaking legend, right, But it's also like it's

349
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,279
not done, Like she's you know, she's like still like

350
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,160
this is still in the moment, So she's building this

351
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:26,160
legacy of hers in real time. As I stated, like

352
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,640
this is the sheina O Kamodo era, like ten twenty years.

353
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,799
You know, oftentimes we sit around all the time and

354
00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:33,559
we do it. We sit around, we say, oh, remember that,

355
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,880
h remember that. I remember that, Like we're gonna remember this,

356
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:38,839
remember that time she and Okamodo went second, first, first,

357
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,519
and that shit was bananas?

358
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: What I mean, what the heck? So anyway, you can

359
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,519
have the floor. No, I mean even everything, I've done

360
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:46,079
nothing else to that.

361
00:18:46,279 --> 00:18:48,759
Speaker 1: Really, I'm just amped up by it. I think it's great,

362
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:49,240
can it?

363
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: Like you said, it has been a pretty wild lost

364
00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:54,880
couple of days here at the World Series, and you know,

365
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,279
as we kind of touched on, it's just it's pushing

366
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,559
us in the right direction. The main event three or

367
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:03,079
four days away. You know, the buzz is happening in

368
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:06,119
the rooms again, busy, so many players here, and like

369
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,960
you get in moments like this that are really just

370
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:11,000
pushing us towards this finish line of the twenty twenty

371
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:11,799
five WSOP.

372
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,759
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking of I'm trying to find a fourth thing.

373
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,279
But in my mind, the top three things right now

374
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:28,799
that are sticking out to me as like if I

375
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:30,920
were to ask the question, you know, what is your

376
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,000
what is your standout showcase moment from the twenty twenty

377
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:41,119
five WSP, I would say A cossats No, I would say,

378
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:43,920
these aren't any order. These are just the three that

379
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,559
I have on the list, and I'm trying to find

380
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:48,519
a fourth one. Michael to grind. Name is Rocky. Fourth

381
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:52,200
PPC title, Shina Okamoto winning this year, going back to

382
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,240
back second, first, first in the last three years. I

383
00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:58,240
would say Nick Shulman was the other one, winning the

384
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,519
biggest ever ten k deuces. Even you're shaking your head,

385
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,400
you're not gonna remember that.

386
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: You're not very good at this. Trump, go ahead? What else?

387
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:10,039
Benny Glossaw, Buddy.

388
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:13,599
Speaker 1: Benny Glaser, that's the other one I was forgetting. Well, No,

389
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,079
but I'm trying to come up with four, and I

390
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,200
think Shulman makes it in there part of why.

391
00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. Shulman by itself is big enough.

392
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: So here's why I put certain things into categories, and

393
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:30,720
it's it's because of the buzz that it generates on

394
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:34,240
the outside. If I don't even know if I'm gonna

395
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:39,279
be able to fully explain myself. But Shulman his specialty

396
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,000
is Nola meduce to seven. He won the biggest ever

397
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,759
Nola medus to seven championship after a grueling eight hour

398
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:49,039
heads up match against an incredible Nola Medusa's seven player

399
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:54,599
in Darren Olias. Like exercising that type of greatness as

400
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,519
specialized as Nick is with that game when it's the

401
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:01,880
biggest event after that type of match, like that is

402
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,279
just some incredible stuff. Like so that's just a standout

403
00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:07,920
moment to me, Like what are what are the standout moments?

404
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: Now?

405
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: I will tell you, I'll be honest. The reason why I,

406
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:17,960
you know, ignorantly overlooked Benny Glauser, is because it's still

407
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,960
ongoing and it's been three separate wins. Now, I should

408
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,599
not do that. It's a mistake of mine. I'm fully

409
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:25,480
on fully you know.

410
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:29,079
Speaker 2: Duck up, right, a duck up Donny Pizza Pi, Yeah.

411
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,839
Speaker 1: You know, because it's like it's just when things are

412
00:21:31,839 --> 00:21:33,640
stretched out, I kind of need to sit back and

413
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,559
I'm I'm I'm getting too honed in, you know, But yes,

414
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,640
you are right, Benny. Benny Glaser is the other one.

415
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,880
So those are the four. Basically, what I'm saying is like,

416
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,599
if if you were to put this out as a poll,

417
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:46,880
you know, what's what's your standout moment?

418
00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: You know?

419
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: Or the other the other thing is you have to

420
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,720
wait till the end of the summer. Yeah, yeah, right,

421
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:54,000
and then you're gonna say something like, you know, what

422
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:57,200
are you gonna remember most from the twenty twenty five sip?

423
00:21:57,319 --> 00:21:59,519
And then you list the things so and the reason

424
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:00,880
why I come up with four? As you know, I

425
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,599
think of like Mount Rushmore as four. If you do

426
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,480
a Twitter poll, it has four things that you can

427
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,680
put into it. So right now I think those are

428
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,279
my four. And I know I already know what's gonna

429
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:13,319
happen is you're gonna I'm gonna put the pole out

430
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:14,839
and people are gonna be like a lot about this.

431
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,759
Victor Blahm making four, Well, he didn't win one, so

432
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:20,440
he just he can't be in it. Like I'm just

433
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,759
I'm sorry, it's just not I got.

434
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:25,079
Speaker 2: Two I want to add. I'm not saying that they're

435
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,079
above the fund to consider.

436
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this, it's not that you can't

437
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,680
add them, it's that you have to, Like you have

438
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,240
to just put them in this like on the short list,

439
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,559
and then you have to try and come up with

440
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:35,920
the four.

441
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,039
Speaker 2: No, I get it.

442
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:38,519
Speaker 1: I just like, right now I think the four the

443
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:42,119
three are for sure Benny Glausser, Mike ms Rocky and

444
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,599
Sena O. Kamoto and then and then now we need

445
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,480
to find a fourth for me. I would I would

446
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:49,519
put Shulman there, Okay, but there's other considerations.

447
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:52,279
Speaker 2: Yes, go ahead, Okay, my first one. I'm not saying

448
00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:54,400
it's worth as equal to these. I just want to

449
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,160
consider it. Let's throw it out of it, let's hold no, no,

450
00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:02,319
put it in around the year of seven. And what

451
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:04,839
I mean by that is we've had some several big

452
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,920
names win bracelets. Win that seventh bracelet now Benning Ony

453
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,960
seventh and night. Let me finish grind us seven. You

454
00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:13,119
kind of already touching that, Shulman, Brian Rass. It's a

455
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,119
big number. Obviously, you now tied with Hennigan Backs and the Grinder,

456
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,160
et cetera. That's one, but like you know, you've already

457
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,680
startled a bit of it. So like, I don't know

458
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:21,759
if we want to put that in there.

459
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:23,559
Speaker 1: But before you go to the next one, Okay, I

460
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:25,759
feel like you said last year was the year of seven.

461
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,759
I'm not joking. I'm pretty sure you said that, Rich,

462
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:31,519
can you go maybe it was two years ago, but

463
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:33,119
I'm pretty sure we had a year of seven or

464
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:35,160
I don't know if we did. How many years of seven?

465
00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm not sure we're supposible the next.

466
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:39,839
Speaker 1: One, because didn't Seaver do it?

467
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:42,759
Speaker 2: Steven got to seven? Last yeah? Yeah, but I think

468
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:44,640
and the Grinder got to seven? That was it? What

469
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,079
about the previous year? That was Hennigan Aria the Arias six?

470
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,599
It was the year of six. Everyone got to six.

471
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,079
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we did this conversation.

472
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,759
Speaker 2: Rich, wind it back and here's the other one. I

473
00:23:57,799 --> 00:23:59,640
think that has a bit more weight than that one.

474
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,279
And I want to say it's a year of first.

475
00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:03,759
We always talk about, like people players to win their

476
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:06,759
first bracelet. Some of these names from this year, Okay,

477
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:10,119
I think the biggest one Seth Davies. Okay, we've got

478
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,559
Philip Sternheimer. That's a big one. In my mind, I've

479
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,039
just lost my whole place. Your reign of Campaig high stakes,

480
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,759
big high steaks guy from Germany.

481
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,799
Speaker 1: Man, I listen, I already. I'm already changing my list.

482
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:27,240
I already got my fourth. I know what it is. Well,

483
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,400
I mean, I'm an idiot again.

484
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: Duck up. Okay, yours is not a I'm a duck up.

485
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,359
You're like the Donnie Pizza pile or something. Whatever.

486
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's now. It is the Poker podcast

487
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,039
Ducked Up, hosted by Tim Duckworth, just like it's the

488
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,759
Ladies Championship hosted by Sheena Oakuma.

489
00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 2: The other one I forgot to mention because I was

490
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,680
talking to him today was obviously Darren Olias.

491
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:55,079
Speaker 1: No, none of that matters. The fourth one, Sorry, Nick Shelman,

492
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:59,680
you gotta go. So we're kicking Nick off. Okay, it's

493
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,079
missed Casino Royale himself, it's missed or not like that,

494
00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:04,920
not like that.

495
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: He's not like don amathing yet he cannot be on.

496
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:11,039
Speaker 1: This is one of those. This is one of those now.

497
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,920
But I'm telling you, this is a this is a

498
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,359
moment in time. When you look back, you're going to say,

499
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,880
like that was the summer when X and people. There

500
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,039
are going to be enough people that say, Martin Cabrell,

501
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:23,640
I need.

502
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: One more moment. I need one more rebound to get

503
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:26,799
my trone.

504
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,759
Speaker 1: When I'm like, you don't manage the social media. I do.

505
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,440
It is freaking Martin Cabrell, all freaking I still look

506
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,400
at the social media. I mean, you've got people at

507
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,920
the Venetians saying not like that at the final table,

508
00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:45,799
like I mean, it's just it's it's spread like a disease.

509
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:48,240
And some might say it is a disease at this

510
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,960
point because they don't like the guy and they don't

511
00:25:50,039 --> 00:25:54,240
like his antics. But it is everywhere, it is everywhere.

512
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,440
So that's right. Now, it's me. Now listen, this is

513
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,319
of course, this is of course a list that is

514
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,359
not solidified.

515
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: No, it's it's in shoppy. We just got to make

516
00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:03,359
sure we just don't give it choppy.

517
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: We just got to make the top four and then

518
00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:10,480
when you know, July, whatever seventeenth rolls around will be ranking.

519
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 2: Mon.

520
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying because I bumped out Nick.

521
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: Bove Benny, That's why I was not kind of asking.

522
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,839
Speaker 1: I bumped no, no, no, But Benny's for sure in there,

523
00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:22,880
and Benny's probably gonna win five, so he's whatever. I'm

524
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,119
still not going to get on nothing. That's a good question.

525
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:29,640
That's a good question, might awake I know, I know, right,

526
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:30,440
I know.

527
00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: He spent four days playing the PPC.

528
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:35,519
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, so it is funny like if you're

529
00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:40,000
that's actually something we're thinking about, is it? Or maybe

530
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:45,200
how much did playing the PPC for so long like

531
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,720
hurt his chances and other events? I mean, not that

532
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,599
probably whatever, But yeah, but Benny's good enough to win

533
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:54,839
the PPC obviously. So anyway, a lot of different topics

534
00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:57,759
that we hit on there. But again shina Oka goto

535
00:26:58,079 --> 00:27:04,480
six ye absolute huh six six what gut references? Oh okay,

536
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,000
guard six times? So you're gonna do in twenty five six? Amazing.

537
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,640
So she defeated Heather Alcorn in heads up play, Heather

538
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,880
taking home one hundred and twenty two thousand dollars for

539
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,640
her second place. Finished former the Dealer of the Year

540
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,920
here at the WSB in twenty nineteen. So great run

541
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:27,440
by Heather, Stephanie Hagberg third place, Julie Hewn fourth place.

542
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,720
Uh Sonya Shasha Kina Which I have a question and

543
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:35,240
you don't have the answer, but I have to ask.

544
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:40,640
So I turn on the stream today and I'm watching

545
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,319
and it says on the leaderboard at the top and

546
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,039
also on the whole card graphics. For the name, it

547
00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:48,440
says Veronica.

548
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe she goes by Veronica. Well, what's your name?

549
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:54,519
Because you got buy a different name.

550
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:57,039
Speaker 1: No, but as it was, they showed the last names

551
00:27:57,079 --> 00:27:58,920
on all that stuff, so it says Veronica.

552
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:01,799
Speaker 2: So is, wait, had lost they had a lost name

553
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:02,400
as Veronica.

554
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I think she might go as by Sonya Veronica.

555
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,680
But like what I'm at saying is that like in

556
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,039
all the YouTube descriptions and stuff that you write, it

557
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,279
says Sonya Shasha Kina. So I was just very confused

558
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,039
as like what was going on.

559
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't know where Vernic came from either, do

560
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,359
I I'm assuming, Oh, I say, look, I say this, I'm.

561
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: Assuming she told them that that's what she prefers us

562
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,839
her last name or something. I don't know, That's what

563
00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:33,920
I mean. I was very confused. I'm just wondering where

564
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,039
when did production make that change? And what could they

565
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:38,039
tell us next time because now I don't know what

566
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:40,680
I'm supposed to be calling her. So so I do apologize.

567
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,920
But fifth place for you, congratulations, Juliet Hegatus. Sixth place, Sumir,

568
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,079
you know Maaki another Japanese player. I believe she was

569
00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:55,960
actually eliminated by Shina Okagodo, and then I'm going to

570
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,799
cram in. That's the final seven that came back today

571
00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:03,000
on the stream, very very entertaining stream too, and I

572
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,000
would highly encourage you to find that on the poker

573
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,440
Go YouTube channel or on PokerGO dot com to won

574
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:13,039
that again. Sheena Okagdo, let's go.

575
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,319
Speaker 2: I just wanted to finish out. That's what lacky Asian number.

576
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: Narcus, Narcus and Nadelku winning the fifteen dollars eight game

577
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,960
his first WSOP gold bracelet. Like sheen Okagodo, Nagadelku won

578
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,599
one hundred and eighty four thousand dollars same first place prize.

579
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:33,480
You know, he defeated Scott Abrams in heads up play,

580
00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:37,119
another close call for Abrams. Abrams does have one bracelet.

581
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,400
I think it was twenty twenty three he won his first,

582
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:42,920
but he's been close many times at the WSP as well.

583
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,920
You know, he's one of those players where maybe things

584
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,880
break a different way. He's got four bracelets.

585
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,519
Speaker 2: I mean, did you see the final hand?

586
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:50,559
Speaker 1: I did not see the final hand. I was too

587
00:29:50,599 --> 00:29:52,240
busy watching sheen Okugodo ten.

588
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,279
Speaker 2: I believe they'll playing plo as part of the eight

589
00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:57,559
game or some version. I don't know. Huh. They both

590
00:29:57,559 --> 00:29:59,759
at King ten, they got it in. They hadn't that straight.

591
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:02,119
You see Scott in the video kind of go like this,

592
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:05,880
the kind of you know, sign that it's chopped up,

593
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,960
but actually a Nacus had a flush with the King

594
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,319
ten went run around a flash to eliminate Scott. So

595
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:14,559
a little bit of a.

596
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Everyone just everyone just misreading polo hands with King ten, and.

597
00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: Well, I think he did that when he was like

598
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,359
when he was shopping and then obviously hit the I

599
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,880
think went run around a club club on the river

600
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,799
and yeah, a little bit of a bad, bad bait

601
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,160
dad from Scott edwrams, I.

602
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: Say, Walter Trickerici is that how you say his last name?

603
00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: No idea? Okay?

604
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: Eighty three thousand dollars for third place, Mark led Key

605
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,000
fourth place for fifty seven k John Cipriano, Elaine Ron,

606
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:51,079
and Christian Malik round out the final seven. Anything else now,

607
00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:52,839
you just looked at me. I thought there was something

608
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,400
else there, all right. So congratulations to Narcis and Nadelku

609
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,160
one hundred and eighty four thousand dollars for him the

610
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,640
fifteen hundred dollars eight game winner. On Monday, June thirtieth,

611
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,759

612
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,920

over there?

618
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: Seventeen left? It is flying? Of course, we thought, what's

619
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,759
to happen to blinds twelve? I thought we were going

620
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:32,519
to know it was twenty before it was going to

621
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:37,160
bag with twenty runners. We hit we're just into the

622
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:40,519
lost level and I we're already at seventeen, so we

623
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:43,359
could be down at twelve. We might have to give

624
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,920
them a little bit more of a sleep. Tomorrow, we

625
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,039

move it on the average, can't.

638
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,680

six twenty nine entry field and being down to the

640
00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:30,359
final seventeen. It's just that has to be quite surreal.

00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,519
Chipley that was staggering Chipley.

00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,680

time to bring him back, so the I'm not here

655
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:13,519
waiting too long.

656
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, all right, So that'll be on poker

657
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,000
dot Com on Monday. Tune in for that one. Should

658
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:20,400
be a lot of fun. Four hundred and twenty one

659
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,319
thousand dollars up top in this year's and Gladiators of

660
00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:28,480
Poker the ten k PLO Championship. How many did I

661
00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:30,559
do you remember what I said it would get for entries?

662
00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: No?

663
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: What did it get? It got eight ninety four, eight

664
00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:39,680
seventy four, got eight seventy four. I mean, it's just

665
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,200
this feel is ridiculously enormous. Isaac Kempton leading the way

666
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,200
right now one point three nine to four million, so

667
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,440
basically one point four million dollars up top. They did

668
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,279
get into the money a little bit earlier today, a

669
00:33:56,319 --> 00:34:01,160
fairly extended hand for hand portion. First player to bust

670
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,559
in the money was Nico Milgram. It's funny because I

671
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:06,960
was I was over there. They actually went hand for

672
00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:09,239
hand with one hundred and thirty seven players left in

673
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,360
one hundred and thirty two pains, so earlier than normal.

674
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:13,639
Normally they go two off the money. They go to

675
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:15,840
hand for hand, but there was so much stalling that

676
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,480
they decided there was a though. Right, yeah, of course,

677
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:20,840
but who cares? These guys stall all the time, so

678
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,800
they're stalling, so they go hand for hand. Earlier Nico

679
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:31,320
had nineteen K, I believe, okay, and eurse does he

680
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,320
have nineteen K? Twenty you hat twenty four K and

681
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,199
he's he goes through the big blind. It was five ten, ten.

682
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,519
He goes to the big blind. He obviously pays the

683
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:45,000
ten and the ten he folds. He's got four K left,

684
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,039
so he's going to be blinded in the next hand.

685
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,079
Speaker 2: But somebody goes broke. Well, playing Naker, somebody goes broke

686
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,440
and he gets into the money with four K. He

687
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,800
busted on the hand. He busts on the hand, you know,

688
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,519
But good for him. But Nico did cash.

689
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:01,559
Speaker 1: I think he took twelve tenth in the in the game,

690
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,199
tenth in the A game, and then so whatever that

691
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,960
pays ten points. I think more than that seventeen points.

692
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,000
Look that up.

693
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:12,559
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. The fantasy stuff, buddy, that's

694
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:12,840
all you.

695
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: I believe it's twelve points, man, We are way down

696
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:17,519
there right now.

697
00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:18,639
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

698
00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:22,159
Speaker 1: Twelve points, okay, and then he got two more points

699
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:26,920
in the ten k Omaha for cashing. So, I mean,

700
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,599
we're trying, but Jeremy Osmas is just not doing it

701
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:33,760

00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:43,000
in chips. No, it was he was so far off

706
00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:45,960
first place. It wasn't even funny. It was unbelievable.

707
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, holloway, why would you do that

708
00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:50,800
to me?

709
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,280

00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,119
not aware that they have two starting flights this year,

815
00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:06,360
and they did not have two starting flights in the past.

816

Speaker 2: I think, yeah, we did not know this.

817
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,039
Speaker 1: I thought last year it was just the same thing.

818
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:11,840
But they I guess they added a starting flight. So

819
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,639
that means that this thing is going to be absolutely

820
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:19,079
freaking enormous. Yeah, some would say massive, massive, some would

821
00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:24,079
say massive. This flight today four thousand and seventy seven

822
00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:28,320
entries last year. Can you confirm with this this last

823
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,400
year thing? Please? I looked on Poker news, but like,

824
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,440
can we look look somewhere else? What exactly like? It

825
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,159
won't look I want to say, I want to make

826
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:35,760
sure that there was only one flight last year.

827
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 2: If she looked on pokings, I'm pretty sure.

828
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, Poker News just had days one, two, three, which

829
00:41:41,519 --> 00:41:43,440
would tell me that whatever is it in like your

830
00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:45,760
like biggest flight doc or whatever that thing is.

831
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not called the biggest flight.

832
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: Doc whatever whatever that that spreadsheet is that you have

833
00:41:51,199 --> 00:41:54,000
confirmed as three days last year. Yeah, so I mean,

834
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,320
this thing's gonna have ten thousand entries in are you playing?

835
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,760
Get in there? I'm in there. I'm in there tomorrow.

836
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,239
I'm I'm dusting it off. I'm dusting it off. I

837
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,559
can't freaking wait. I cannot wait. I'm getting in there

838
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:10,119
with the people. Nice early am start.

839
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 2: Damn you I came, of course.

840
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: I really it's funny. I think I've said this before

841
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,320
on the podcast. I've definitely talked about it with friends,

842
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,000
But when I play live, I absolutely want to be

843
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,880
their hand number one always, especially the World Series of Poker,

844
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,639
Like there's just something special about it. Yeah, you know,

845
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,599
just being there hand one in an event, and the

846
00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:32,760
World Series of Poker is just so much different than

847
00:42:33,519 --> 00:42:37,079
so many other events that you know, you know, there's

848
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:38,880
going to be a bunch of other people there. Like

849
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,599
sometimes I show up at the wind Or I used

850
00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:42,119
to show up at the wind like hand number one,

851
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,320
and it'd be like three tables and we're playing three

852
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,519
handed on one of the table, and obviously it fills

853
00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:49,519
up right, but like no one's in the rush. But

854
00:42:49,559 --> 00:42:51,760
I feel like with so many more recreational players and

855
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,079
whatnot at the World Series of Poker, like that place

856
00:42:54,159 --> 00:42:56,760
is going to be hopping at ten am. So I

857
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,199
will have coffee in hand. I will be ready to

858
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,760
freaking go ten podcast hot coffee in hand, likely not

859
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,000
a podcast hat. I will have my car, I will

860
00:43:07,039 --> 00:43:09,320
have my two card protectors. I will have my two

861
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,679
card protectors on the table ready to go. That's another thing,

862
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,960
by the way, Jason Khm brought it up. I believe

863
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,039
Poker dot Org asked him about the car protector. He

864
00:43:19,039 --> 00:43:22,920
has that little triton symbol once and he said that

865
00:43:24,639 --> 00:43:27,000
he thinks that, you know, we should bring back card

866
00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:29,159
protectors because they bring back an element of fun to

867
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,440
the game. I had this exact conversation with my good

868
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,320
friend Mike Ziemba like three years ago, two years ago,

869
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:40,599
about how card protectors are like cool and fun. It

870
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:42,199
was the year that I ran deep in the two

871
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,159
k here and I was at a table with whoever

872
00:43:46,159 --> 00:43:49,159
the guy was that won the PSPC, like the he's

873
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,760
like Russian or something, he want PSPC. A couple of

874
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,880
years I forget his name, and he was at the

875
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:59,679
table was his friend Nikolai Tulan. Okay, look up the

876
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:00,920
guy who one the PSPC.

877
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 2: Alexander. Alexander what Alexandra, he's Bezan, she'll coo, Yeah, he's

878
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,920
bel him. He has he has this little car protector.

879
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,920
It's like a I think it's like a guy like backpacking.

880
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,800
And like then his buddy, like Nikolai Tulan also had

881
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,840
card protectors like you know, you know, I'm like later

882
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,360
texting or talking with my friend Mike about how like, yeah,

883
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,239
they're kind of like fun and they're cool. I sat

884
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,719
next to another guy at the wind recently. He had

885
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,159
a little Peppa pig. I know, you know what Peppa

886
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:36,199
pig is? Yeah, exactly, And I know too, So I

887
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,360
asked him, I said, you know, what's the semblance of

888
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:39,519
this Pepa pig? You know?

889
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:41,599
Speaker 1: And he said, oh, it's because my son likes Peppa pig.

890
00:44:41,639 --> 00:44:43,719
He gave it to me, so I use it. So yeah,

891
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,239
So I have two little card protectors that I use,

892
00:44:46,519 --> 00:44:48,679
and I just think that they're like fun little trinkets

893
00:44:48,679 --> 00:44:51,360
that can possibly park some spark a conversation. I have

894
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,840
a my bag's over there. But I have a little

895
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,679
lion because my friend Mike, the person I was talking

896
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,039
about the car protectors with, very very good talented poker player,

897
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,000
we always talking whatever, and he's always like reminding me

898
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:08,000
just like be a lion at the table. Okay, So

899
00:45:08,079 --> 00:45:10,000
I thought it was funny then that I should get

900
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,519
a lion. So I got this little lion figuringe and

901
00:45:12,559 --> 00:45:15,280
then the other one is like a little black like

902
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:18,719
poodle dog because my dog does yea. So I have

903
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,400
Duke and I have the lion, and they just chill.

904
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: I did I saw this thing kind of light loss, don't.

905
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,119
Speaker 1: Depending on how I'm feeling, I might just put one

906
00:45:26,119 --> 00:45:27,719
out Like if I'm feeling like, you know, I want

907
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,079
to funk sit up just the lion.

908
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: If I if I'm.

909
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: Feeling like you know, maybe it's gonna be like like

910
00:45:32,039 --> 00:45:33,599
w sp me an event, maybe I'll just put Duke

911
00:45:33,639 --> 00:45:35,119
out there because I don't necessarily need to be a

912
00:45:35,159 --> 00:45:36,800
lion on day one A and I should probably chill

913
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,840
and not six bet along with King Queen off.

914
00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 2: So I sawed the same way I could get my

915
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,079
son to give me, like a hot wheels guy his

916
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:46,719
favorite hot See that thing was cool, and then when

917
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,079
a lust, I give it back and say this wasn't lucky.

918
00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:50,280
I need a lucky one. So he would go on

919
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,360
a hunt. He's got like hundreds of hot because he

920
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,880
would hunt for a lucky one. When I won the

921
00:45:55,079 --> 00:45:56,679
uh well, when I cashed in the you know, the

922
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,840
WPT free roll, you know, for four k, this was

923
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,719
a lucky one. We retired it. But I gave him.

924
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,639
I got him a roadbox sift card when I went

925
00:46:03,679 --> 00:46:06,360
deep in the MSPT Venetia and when I cashed for

926
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,239
like six k, I think I got him one hundred

927
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,719
dollars Roadbock slift card is like thank you for picking

928
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,280
out the lucky car. Now, obviously you might want to

929
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,599
argue the car has nothing to do with how I played,

930
00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:17,840
but it's also I think a good way to kind

931
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,599
of involve my signing poker a little bit. Not that

932
00:46:20,639 --> 00:46:23,360
I play a lot, but I play enough where he's interested. Yeah,

933
00:46:23,679 --> 00:46:26,119
I did have an idea to double down on my

934
00:46:26,119 --> 00:46:32,079
my cowboy stick by getting like a vintage Bootspur, that.

935
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:33,119
Speaker 1: Would mean a bit incredible.

936
00:46:33,159 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 2: I'd put on the thing and like so you can

937
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,559
spin the little thing. I haven't really found one, I

938
00:46:36,599 --> 00:46:38,280
like because I wanted poker themed. I want some like

939
00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:40,480
suits on it. So I was very obvious it's poker.

940
00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:43,239
It's a bootsber matches the whole cowboy get up. You know.

941
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,920
I could put it on my boots if I want to.

942
00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:47,360
I haven't really found anything that I love, but like,

943
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,239
if you guys are out there and find something, see

944
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:55,519
something that would be perfect for me, Vintage bootspur, poker themed.

945
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:56,719
This guy wants it.

946
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,039
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm slowly building up the courage to bring

947
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,039
my Aztec death Whistle as a card protector. Okay, you

948
00:47:06,119 --> 00:47:06,719
know what that is?

949
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:08,079
Speaker 2: You do? Yeah?

950
00:47:08,159 --> 00:47:10,119
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you know what that is. Sometimes they tell

951
00:47:10,159 --> 00:47:11,039
people they have no idea what it is.

952
00:47:11,159 --> 00:47:11,599
Speaker 2: Let me.

953
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just incredible. It's absolutely incredible. Maybe I'll

954
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,039
bring that at some point. I mean I doubt it,

955
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:20,599
but it would be cool. It's when you blow it

956
00:47:20,679 --> 00:47:22,840
right and they blow it and it sounds like somebody's

957
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,159
like screen like dying. It's out of control.

958
00:47:26,559 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: Of course.

959
00:47:27,159 --> 00:47:29,199
Speaker 1: Of course I did not buy that. By the way,

960
00:47:29,519 --> 00:47:32,199
my friend Mike sent it to me out of nowhere.

961
00:47:32,639 --> 00:47:34,519
Once in a while, I'll just get packages and it's

962
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:36,760
from Mike, my buddy who I'm talking about the car

963
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,480
Protectors with, and it's just like random ship like this

964
00:47:38,519 --> 00:47:41,960
ASTech death whistle. Context just like no context, just show

965
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,079
up like it's just almost like what And of course

966
00:47:44,119 --> 00:47:46,039
I just know it's from him. The reason why I

967
00:47:46,039 --> 00:47:47,639
know it's from him is that, like when I order

968
00:47:47,679 --> 00:47:50,320
Amazon packages, it says Donald.

969
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 2: Peters, okay, this one says this is.

970
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,559
Speaker 1: Donnie okay, And I only know of him sending me

971
00:47:55,599 --> 00:47:58,519
packages from Amazon, so I'm like, it has to be him.

972
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,840
And then I, you know, I send him a thing

973
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,960
and whatever. And but my daughter freaking loves it. She

974
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,039
loves it so great. Yeah, it's so great. But anyway,

975
00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:09,079
maybe one day I'll bring that, just put it on

976
00:48:09,079 --> 00:48:13,039
the table, maybe maybe blow in the middle of MANI

977
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,079
I didn't have not I wouldn't do it, but I do.

978
00:48:16,199 --> 00:48:18,519
But I do think, like what Jason Kon said, they

979
00:48:18,639 --> 00:48:20,199
like it just makes it a little bit more fun,

980
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,360
little more more light hearted, right, maybe somebody asks you

981
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,000
about you strike up a conversation if you see someone

982
00:48:25,039 --> 00:48:26,960
with one with one, I'm like, Okay, at least this

983
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,360
guy is not like super serious, like he's at least

984
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,039
having some fun overall. Like so it's it's just good.

985
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,159
I like having him. So yeah, so normalize card protectors. Yes,

986
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,679
have him be like a cool, fun little thing. And

987
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,039
like I've looked at like I've looked at different ones,

988
00:48:41,039 --> 00:48:42,880
and you know, maybe I'll get one that's just like

989
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,960
completely whacky and whatever. But like I think they're cool

990
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,960
and fun, So let's have them share them on social media,

991
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,639
do the whole thing. Like, I think it's good for

992
00:48:49,679 --> 00:48:52,239
the game. But the matter at hand. Mini Main Event

993
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,880
four thousand and seventy seven entries in this flight. They

994
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:01,000
have another flight tomorrow or sorry, on Monday. I'm going

995
00:49:01,079 --> 00:49:03,719
to be in it. Last year they had six thousand

996
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,000
and ninety three entries total in this event. They're going

997
00:49:07,079 --> 00:49:11,480
to get six thousand tomorrow for today, meaning this is

998
00:49:11,519 --> 00:49:14,159
going to be a ten thousand entry field for short.

999
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 2: It's madness for sure. Now.

1000
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 1: One of the benefits of this is from an entry's perspective,

1001
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,760
is you can play both flights. Freeze out per flight,

1002
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,239
but you can play both flights and it's called the

1003
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,360
Mini Main event because it has the same structure as

1004
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,000
the main event, just sped up condemed Yeah op h

1005
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,840
plus the one re entry, but get sixty thousand starting chips.

1006
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,960
You know, you go through the same blind levels, but

1007
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,559
they're thirty minute levels I believe, so a bit faster.

1008
00:49:38,679 --> 00:49:43,639
Speaker 2: But yeah, this should really have four flights ten am

1009
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,840
five pm, and then it should have a day two

1010
00:49:47,679 --> 00:49:49,360
where you can enter as well.

1011
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: You're saying just exactly maybe it.

1012
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 2: Should be copy piste. If it's the minim event, you.

1013
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,559
Speaker 1: Have copy pass to still be able to get it

1014
00:49:55,599 --> 00:49:57,039
over flights.

1015
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,599
Speaker 2: On one day. Why doesn't need what they already added

1016
00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:00,480
the daysia, Why can't they ad another day?

1017
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,679
Speaker 1: Make it a couple of days I'm saying. I'm saying

1018
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,760
three days, meaning the day ones are one day like collectively,

1019
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:06,840
and then whatever.

1020
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean, there's all ways you do it. If you

1021
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,159
want to make the real mini Main event this, it's

1022
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:11,880
gotta be more.

1023
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,519
Speaker 1: I just think, I just think it. I just don't

1024
00:50:14,519 --> 00:50:17,840
want it to be like too close to like the

1025
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,639
Million Maker and the Monster like it should just it

1026
00:50:20,679 --> 00:50:23,320
should be essentially what I like this to be and

1027
00:50:23,599 --> 00:50:25,159
I know you're not supposed to call it this, and

1028
00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:27,199
I don't want to, but I'm gonna use that to

1029
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,920
paint the pictures a turbo version of the main event

1030
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,079
or a tenth of the buy in, like that's what

1031
00:50:32,119 --> 00:50:34,320
this is. Yeah, you know, so, but you can you

1032
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,320
could do stuff like that, sure, Like you could extend

1033
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,599
registration somehow, like you know, I don't know how, but

1034
00:50:38,679 --> 00:50:40,639
you know, figure it out. Maybe people can come in

1035
00:50:40,639 --> 00:50:45,360
with five big blinds with the hell cares. So we

1036
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,000
do have a duck up that you got to get

1037
00:50:48,039 --> 00:50:49,920
to right now.

1038
00:50:50,039 --> 00:50:51,559
Speaker 2: You gotta just put me. You're just gonna throw me

1039
00:50:51,639 --> 00:50:52,280
under that.

1040
00:50:52,079 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: That I mean.

1041
00:50:52,599 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'd like to recap events here on the podcast.

1042
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,000
We talk about winners, talk about the losers.

1043
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: We talked about you know, Okagodo.

1044
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,559
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, we're going to talk about the ghosts

1045
00:51:02,599 --> 00:51:05,599
that you vim me too. We had a little tweet

1046
00:51:05,639 --> 00:51:08,960
today from one of our fans saying that, hey, you know,

1047
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,239

1048
00:51:13,519 --> 00:51:15,880
you know, mention it. So we're going to wind the

1049
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,440
clock back and then sixty one the five hundred dollars

1050
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,920

1051
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,840
a five thousand and eighty two entrant field to win

1052
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,679
the bracelet and two hundred and twenty nine thousand dollars.

1053
00:51:29,679 --> 00:51:34,599
Oh is that all? That's all free? So Cruisey's way

1054
00:51:34,599 --> 00:51:39,960

00:51:58,239 --> 00:51:59,639
able to find now on the fly, but if you

1061
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:01,679
already able to find it, he was kind of like

1062
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,920
sharing updates throughout the event. Certainly it looked like there

1063
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,880
was a lot of emotion when he won, what it

1064
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,559
meant to him, So very very cool to see him

1065
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:13,320
go on to win again whatever. It was a two

1066
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:18,159
