00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.080
Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:18.600
Poker Go Podcast. It is Monday, July thirteenth. My name
3
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.120
is Donnie Peters. It is one seventeen am. Got a
4
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.359
little bit of pep in my step today. The meds
5
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.399
are finally kicking in, still struggling quite a bit. Have
6
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.119
spent the large majority of the past forty eight hours
7
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.000
either in my bed or on my couch. I will
8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.159
say that the silver lining there is that I have
9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.600
been glued to the coverage from when it starts at
10
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.359
twelve noon here in Vegas to when it ends around midnight.
11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.320
I know there's about a one or two hour break
12
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.960
in there at some point, but I have had that
13
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:57.159
thing on all minutes, all hours of the past two days,
14
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.759
been absolutely glued to it. So that's been the fun
15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.200
side of things, you know. As I said, when I'm
16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.840
out there, I'm not always able to watch, but I
17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.719
try to tune in as much as I can. But
18
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.000
being able to watch everything and see it all happen,
19
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.079
I mean, there's nothing like the WSP made event. There's
20
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.480
absolutely nothing like it. Day seven is in the books.
21
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.040
We're gonna hit on everything that happened on Day six.
22
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.599
Run you guys through that. We have a few interviews
23
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.120
to play as well. I did stay home today, but
24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.480
my guy Rem Krinkima was down there at Paris getting
25
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.439
a few conversations with some of the players in the field.
26
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.400
Some really good stuff there that you guys are going
27
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.959
to be able to listen to. We were throwing a
28
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.000
little bit of a monkey wrench before the start of
29
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.560
day seven, so we'll obviously talk about that. If you've
30
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.560
been living under a rock, then it'll be news to you.
31
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.319
If not, I'm gonna weigh in with my two cents
32
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.680
on that, and yeah, that'll be the pod, nice and
33
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.519
focused one around the w is to be made event.
34
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.200
I don't really know what the heck is going on
35
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.319
elsewhere at the World Series. I only really know because
36
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.159
they're kind of checking in on some things every now
37
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.599
and then on the coverage, like they checked in on
38
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.479
the fifty K Nolan and Holdham winner Jamie Dwan won
39
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.919
that one. But I am just so sucked into this
40
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.560
main event. It's just absolutely unbelievable, and anything else that's
41
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.879
going on around it, I just it's not that I
42
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.039
don't care, it's just I'm all of my attention one
43
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.360
and fifty percent of my attention is on the WSP
44
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.199
main event, as it should be. You know, it's it's
45
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.360
great that that everyone else has stuff to play, so
46
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.039
of course, you know, you want to take advantage that
47
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.439
you get. All these people in town totally get it.
48
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.240
It really is just all about the main event. So
49
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:45.879
that's what we're going to be focusing on at some
50
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.520
point in the coming days. You know, we do have
51
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.240
that big gap between when the final table is reached
52
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.599
and then when the final table is played, we'll have
53
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.599
some pods in there as well, and we'll wrap up
54
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.960
all the all the other winners on how things are going.
55
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.280
I'm sure we got to touch on the WASIP Player
56
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.560
of the Year race. That race itself is ever changing.
57
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.680
I saw on social media today that Iowa Kihara had
58
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.360
a cash in an event that allowed him to get
59
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.479
some points to move up. I also saw that Dan
60
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.599
and Legrand who had I think he moved up into
61
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.439
the top five of the leader board. But that's all great,
62
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.639
and there are still tournaments being played. But we also
63
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.520
have to consider Sean Deep is still in the main event, right,
64
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.639
so it's not like his points are being tallied by
65
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.319
how far he's going and he's still alive now entering
66
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.960
day eight, So I think there's around nineteen hundred, maybe
67
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.479
two thousand points up top in the WSIP main event
68
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.120
alone for the Player of the Year, So that's going
69
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.080
to have a lot of weight on things for how
70
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.000
that race plays out. So it's kind of it's great
71
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.960
to pay attention to it. I love the race, it's awesome,
72
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.280
but it's also kind of hard to actually pin down
73
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.199
because we got Sean Deep going into this event. And
74
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.800
if you guys remember when I talked with him way
75
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.680
he said, you know, he made a joke like I'm
76
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.560
probably gonna get stuck to the mainim me until day
77
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.199
six or something like that. Well it's now gonna be
78
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.280
day eight, and Shan deeb still, at least on his terms,
79
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.280
stuck in the WSP main event. Well, all of us
80
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.159
would like to be stuck in the wspre main event
81
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.279
on day eight, mister d that's for damn sure. If

88
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.920
All right, let's get into it. For Day seven of
89
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:49.600
the WSP Main Event, sixty two players began well within
90
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.920
the money, deep in it. At the end of it all,
91
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.399
when the dust had settled, twenty one players remain. So
92
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:02.199
we're gonna have three tables of seven coming back on Monday.
93
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.639
Malcolm Trainer, the young Australian poker sensation, is leading the
94
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.639
way with sixty three point two million in chips. That
95
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.759
is good enough for one hundred and five big blinds.
96
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:22.360
Interestingly enough, the chip leader entering the day also had
97
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.319
one hundred and five big blinds. But more on him later.
98
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.000
As it pertains to Malcolm Trainor twenty six years old,
99
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.920
he's an Australian player out of Brisbane. He won the
100
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.319
twenty twenty four WSP Mystery Millions for one million dollars.
101
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.959
Don't know how many bounties he pulled along the way,
102
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.560
but of course he definitely added to that one million
103
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.680
dollars score there. In that tournament, he topped a field
104
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.360
of eighteen thousand, four hundred and nine entries. That's an
105
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.920
absolutely mammoth field. He also won the twenty twenty six
106
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.279
Oussie Million's Main Event ten K buying for that one
107
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.399
in the Ozzie Million Main Event return It returned in
108
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.399
April after I think a six year hiatus. Trainer won
109
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.800
that for one million, three hundred and eighty two thousand
110
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.120
Australian dollars, which equates to nine hundred and ninety thousand
111
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.360
USD a top day field of seven hundred and seventy
112
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.279
entries there. When he won that Ozzie Million's Main Event,
113
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.839
Poker News was there on site doing live reporting and
114
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.279
he spoke with Poker News after and he said, I've
115
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.079
dedicated my life to poker the last eight years. People
116
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.000
often see the wins, but they don't see the grind
117
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:37.399
and they don't see the losing months. I mean, that's very,
118
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.639
very true. You know, it does take a lot to
119
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.839
be very good and very successful at poker. Yes, of course,
120
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.759
you can just slap it out there and get lucky.
121
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.600
That can happen, but also you know, there are plenty
122
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.399
of players, as it sounds like Trainer is certainly one
123
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.519
of them that put in a lot of time effort, resources,
124
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.639
dedication to getting better improving their game. Of course, of
125
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.439
course there are different pathways to do that, but it's
126
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.839
great to see it all come to fruition. It all
127
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.439
be shown. On the other end, with having some success
128
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.759
in poker, you know, some of the best players in
129
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:19.000
the world may not have giant wins like Trainer may have.
130
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.439
And then on the clip side, you know, some of
131
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:23.639
the worst players in the world might just rip off,
132
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.040
you know, a sick heater for six months to a
133
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.600
year or whatever it may be. As it pertains to
134
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.360
Malcolm Trainer though everything that I've seen from him, you know,
135
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.920
I watched a little bit of him in the twenty
136
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.079
twenty four Wsity Mister Millions tournament when he won that
137
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.879
one at the final table, and then I've watched a
138
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.360
lot of him, or at least as much as they
139
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.959
have shown of him in this DISIP main event this
140
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.759
year in his run, and he seemed like a very
141
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.680
very solid player. Yes, there are some fortunate situations that
142
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.199
are going his way, but that's just the variance of
143
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.839
it all. And you know, you have to play well
144
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.560
and then hopefully that variance can just swing your way
145
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.680
at some points and you can be, of course the
146
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.079
beneficiary of it, but you still have to play really
147
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.319
good solid poker, and he has played really good solid
148
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.240
poker the entire time. Something that benefited him earlier to
149
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.959
On day seven, he did flop a flush in a
150
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.360
raised pot holding the seven to five of spades against
151
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.439
Todd Brunson. I believe it was Todd Brunson opened Malcolm
152
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.399
trainor called in late position I think on the button
153
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.800
became Queen Jack ate all spades and then fast forward
154
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.360
into the river. Trainer was able to get in a
155
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.960
river rays that got paid off by Todd Brunson. There
156
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.480
you know one hand that did go Trainer's way in
157
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.200
terms of a lot of luck is when he got
158
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.399
he got all in with Ton Lee Wang. Trainer had
159
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.200
ace five of hearts against Wang's queens. Trainer three bet
160
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.360
and then called off to a shorter stacked Wang. He
161
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.080
flopped a five did Trainer and turned an ace which
162
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.639
allowed him to bust Wang. In twenty eighth place, he
163
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.320
got a lot of good value with two pair against
164
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.080
Giuseppe Pantaleo in a spot where he had aces and
165
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.000
jacks against an inferior two pair of Panteleeo with Jackson eights,
166
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.440
and then there was another spot where he got some
167
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.600
decent value in a blind versus blind situation. Antonio Galiana
168
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.440
had King Jack and the small blind trainer had Queen Queen.
169
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:23.240
In the big blind flop was Ace Jack something trainer
170
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.919
ended up believe it was. He betflop and then when
171
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.720
check check turned and then he called a bet on
172
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:29.840
the river I think is how it went. So he
173
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.039
was able to get some value there out of those
174
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.600
queens and ultimately has a relatively healthy lead. He has
175
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.279
more than twenty million. Then second place and second place
176
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:45.120
belongs to Rameyhamoud out of Canada. So a sizeable lead
177
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.120
here for Malcolm trainor the young superstar again I said
178
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.519
he was twenty six years old. You don't see too
179
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.000
many young kids these days in poker, and it's great
180
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:55.320
to see.
181
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:55.480
You know.
182
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.559
We always talk about that in the US as it
183
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.440
pertains to the lack of of online poker being as
184
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.960
widely available as it once was. But Australia is very similar.
185
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.440
You know that they don't have online poker as widely
186
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.799
available as they once did. I believe, at least that's
187
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.000
my understanding of how things are now. So someone like
188
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.039
Malcolm Traynor, who is able to come up in his
189
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.879
younger years, in his younger twenties and have this sort
190
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.279
of success. I think it's you know, it's truly great
191
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.960
to see and we'll see where he goes from here.
192
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.559
Nothing is given, of course, I know we only have
193
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.960
one day left of play until that final table is
194
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.080
reached on Monday. They're going to go from twenty one
195
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.440
down to nine. They're going to reach that final table.
196
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.720
Of course, Trainer cannot make it. That is you know
197
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.759
that that's not been a surprise in the past, that
198
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.240
has not happened before. But I would say that given
199
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.799
what we know of him, given the chipley that he has,
200
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.120
I would say, you know, he's certainly a favorite, and
201
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.360
I expect him to make it to the final table.
202
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.399
And I would even expect him to make it to
203
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.559
the final table in a very solid position.
204
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:00.799
You know.
205
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.240
See's someone who I think with this chip lead, coupled
206
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.000
with the way he's playing, you know, I look at
207
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.159
him to make it to the final table in the
208
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.200
top let's say, top three sacks. You know, I think
209
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.519
that's pretty pretty safe to say right now. But of course,
210
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.639
have a long day of poker ahead of us on
211
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.120
Monday for these guys to play. So we'll see how
212
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.159
it all shakes out for a trainer and the rest
213
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:38.320
of the field. As for the rest of the field,
214
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.200
let's just run through the other twenty players who are
215
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.399
joining Malcolm trainer on Day eight of the WSLP main event.
216
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.799
I mentioned second place in chips Rami Hamoud out of
217
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.759
Canada forty one and a half million. Right there, forty
218
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.559
one and a half million. Trainers got sixty three point
219
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.679
two million. That's the gap between first and second. Entering
220
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.039
day eight of the main event. You have Lucas Juliman
221
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:08.279
with forty point eight million. Jumalan is a young player.
222
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.320
I think he's like twenty one or twenty two years old.
223
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.080
He was talked a lot about on the broadcast. He's
224
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.919
got a lot of friends that are out here supporting him.
225
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:16.200
You know.
226
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.200
Everyone says that he's put in a lot of work,
227
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.080
he's ready for this, he deserves it, like all that
228
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.919
sort of stuff. He he played well in a lot
229
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.639
of spots today, hold off a couple of timely bluffs,
230
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.120
got some value, you know. So he's absolutely cruising and
231
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.879
you can tell that Jumalan is certainly locked in. We'll see,
232
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.240
you know how he goes from here. But he's a
233
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.759
name that I think we need to start getting ourselves
234
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.240
acquainted with rather quickly. He's came on to my radar
235
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.320
in this WSP main event, and it seems like with
236
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.279
the success he's having here, coupled by what we've seen
237
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.000
him playing on the felt, he's going to be someone
238
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.360
who could you know, this could be the breakout, you
239
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.279
know for we see for the Lucas Jumalan a story
240
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.600
to come. Eva Goru out of Cyprus thirty eight point
241
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.720
two million. He's in fourth place, Will Gibbons behind him
242
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.639
thirty one point seven million. Givens was another fun day
243
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.120
with Will Gibbons. He did the whole show up late thing.
244
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.559
He showed up lade after breaks. At one point during
245
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.759
the last level, he just left for a whole bunch
246
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.679
of hands like he was missing blinds everything. He did,
247
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.519
come back, played a couple hands and then he left
248
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.679
early like he didn't wait till I think they might
249
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.679
have announced four hands left or something, and he just bounced.
250
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.279
The staff bagged his chips for him. But on the
251
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.840
way out, he did you know. Jeff Platt caught up
252
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.320
with him as a little a little walk out of
253
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.519
the out of the Paris ballroom there, and it was
254
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.080
I mean, the interview was gold. You guys can go
255
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.080
find it on Jeff Platt's Twitter account if you want
256
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.320
to listen to it and see the interaction. But the
257
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.480
final quote, I just have to read it to you.
258
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.240
I wrote it down because it's just it's awesome. I mean,
259
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.720
Jeff asked him out of all the players left, you know,
260
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.120
who want to get heads up with, and Will started
261
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:03.840
going into this thing about you know, anyone I give
262
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.000
my chips to. If I give you my chips, I
263
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.399
want you to be here. And then he said the
264
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.200
closing line was, and this is the quote, you know
265
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.399
how lions don't eat dead prey because they go for
266
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.840
the chase. Let that sink in. There was a grunt
267
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:19.320
in there at one point, I mean the whole I
268
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.639
think he just walks off. I mean, it's just you
269
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.720
couldn't write better stuff than Will Gibbins has given us.
270
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.919
So that's incredible. I don't know why. I just had
271
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.960
a feeling when I first played that freeze out several
272
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.360
weeks ago and he sat down at the table, he
273
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.559
started telling the whole story about how he's band Caesar's properties,
274
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.120
it's his first time back and so many years and
275
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.120
all this sort of thing. I don't know why, but
276
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.639
I just had a feeling. Maybe it's just the experience
277
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.720
being on the media side in me coming out, but
278
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.559
I just had a feeling this guy was gonna make
279
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.639
noise this summer. So I had to tell that story.
280
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.600
I told it a few different times, got Will tell
281
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.960
it as well. And now here he is making day
282
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:00.320
eight in the final twenty one players of the Wacopa event.
283
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.600
Just absolutely wild stuff. And we're in for We're in
284
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.120
for a show with Will Gibbons going forward. That's for
285
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.519
damn sure. Sean Deep is behind him thirty one point
286
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:13.519
three million. Sean Deep is cruising. I mean, I know
287
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.120
he's not the biggest chipstack in the field, but to me,
288
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.360
he has to absolutely be one of the favorites. He's
289
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.799
been in these sorts of spots so many times. You
290
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.600
can tell that the pressure does not get to him
291
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.279
one bit. I don't know. I just every time you
292
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.879
just looked at Sean Deeb's chip count on the screen,
293
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.720
he had a few million more than he did when
294
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.320
they last showed him and I know there was some
295
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.600
up and downs in there, yes, of course, but ultimately
296
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.840
finished on relatively high here for Sean Deep thirty one
297
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.240
point three million, he's you know, towards the top half
298
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.799
of the pack here and cruising along. Now, Sean Deep,
299
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.039
he's one of the players that Remco spoke to and
300
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.759
Remko wanted to ask him about the whole implement implementation
301
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.080
of the play cocks right before play and Sean Dee
302
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.480
had some interesting takes on it. So let's hear from
303
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.360
Sean Dee first and then we'll come back. We'll talk
304
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.720
about that situation a little bit more.
305
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.799
Sean, the big situation that came out today that there's
306
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.799
a clock and stated pre flop, What led to that
307
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.200
and what's your response to it.
308
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.799
I mean, you know, I've been friends with a lot
309
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.720
of the staff and the flour men Worldsai's Europe. A
310
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.279
few years ago there was issues with stalling and Andy
311
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.320
was running a tournament. We talked about whether or not
312
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.879
to install shot clocks, and you know, I know last
313
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.519
year with the casuit there there's been a lot of
314
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.200
discussion last few years, like they really have to implement it.
315
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.399
It's really unfair, and I saw the post you know,
316
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.120
fifteen minute Tank by Lauren Klein, like, you know, it's
317
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.120
so unfair to the other seven tables that that table's
318
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.279
playing no hands. We might have played seven hands at
319
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.639
the feature table in that time period. So you know,
320
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.759
I think the floor made a good decision. I wish,
321
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.559
you know, it was a little more. A lot of
322
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:55.080
people never play shot clocks. I think they could have
323
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.120
been a better explanation. But luckily for the people at
324
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.960
my table, I'm giving them explanations that I know it's
325
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.440
on them, you know, try to make it. But it's
326
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:03.559
obviously I think more people bust this level than they
327
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.720
would have there wasn't shot clock, And I obviously it's
328
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.160
better for me personally. I've played a lot with shot clock.
329
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.039
I make quick decisions. But yeah, I think it's a
330
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.599
necessary evil at this stage of determament because people were
331
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.359
too abusive on time. We don't want to go hand
332
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.880
for hand or around for round, and so this is
333
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:24.079
the best, you know, solution to the problem at hand.
334
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.680
The chaka has been brought up many times in the past,
335
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.839
but the argument against it, for the main was always
336
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.079
the majority of players are not familiar with that, and
337
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.079
they're also recreational, so they might take more time in general.
338
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.480
What's your response to that.
339
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.519
I think it's the opposite the pros, who take way
340
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.559
more time than recreational. Very few recreationals tank. It is
341
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.240
way more the pros tank than recreational. So I think,
342
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.960
if anything, this is better for the recreationals because the
343
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.640
pros can't sit there for seven minutes every turn and
344
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.519
figure out do I have one point five X spot
345
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:53.640
or do I you know, hero call this guy? And
346
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.559
so I actually think shot clocks are better for REX.
347
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.000
I think that they're going to be more impulsive, they're
348
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.200
going to make their decisions quickly. They're not gonna Hollywood
349
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.000
as much. And yeah, I think it's way worse for pros.
350
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.480
And I also think it's a better experience for the
351
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.920
wreck like people sitting there, you know, people talking to me, like, dude,
352
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:10.519
I watched a hand where it took six minutes for
353
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.759
the guy to fucking check the turn, Like It's like
354
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.839
people are just went too far on time. So it's
355
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.160
a good solution. I think I'll make better TV. A
356
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.039
lot more hands are gonna be played, a lot, a
357
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:22.079
lot more shit's gonna go down, and I'm excited to
358
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:23.599
see how the rest of the main turns out.
359
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:26.319
All right, So that was deep And you heard him
360
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.119
there say that he thinks that adding the clocks in
361
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.240
like this benefits the recreationals more. I know there's been
362
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.279
a lot of debate about that on social media. I know,
363
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.799
you know, Nick and Ali talked about it in the
364
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.440
booth like it's been talked about pretty much ad nauseum,
365
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.039
you know. But I'm going to weigh in here with
366
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.359
my side of things. I can make the argument for
367
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.440
both sides on who it benefits more, pros or recreationals.
368
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.599
I know producer Rich has had this long standing take
369
00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:58.359
that the Wsby main event structure is too good and
370
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.559
if we want recreational to have a better chance, we
371
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.599
need to make their structure worse, to increase the variants
372
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.319
a little bit, because that's ultimately better for the recreationals,
373
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.480
even if they don't think that that is ultimately better
374
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.880
for them. So I do kind of agree with deeb
375
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.720
been saying that yes, faster time can increase the variance,
376
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.319
which ultimately makes it a little bit better for the recreationals.
377
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.160
Because if the pros have more time, you know, they're
378
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.279
going to be able to really put all the pieces
379
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:28.240
of the puzzle together and get things correct. I can
380
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.039
also very much agree with the other side of the
381
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.680
argument that says it's better for the pros to have
382
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.519
a shorter amount of time because they're used to this
383
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:37.880
sort of thing and they're going to be able to
384
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.680
make more efficient decisions in a smaller window of time.
385
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.920
Just think about you know, all the pros who are playing,
386
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.039
and Sean Deeve was was certainly one of these players,
387
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.440
definitely back in the day playing online. But all the
388
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.799
players who have played twelve, sixteen, twenty tables at once,
389
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.720
maybe more online at a time. Patrick Leonard is one
390
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.000
of them. I know we're going to talk about him
391
00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:58.759
in a little bit as well, But you know, all
392
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:02.000
these players who have played endless tables online at once,
393
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.799
like they're constantly making super fast decisions over and over again,
394
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.039
and yet is that the absolute best decision that they
395
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.240
could make, like in that given moment on one table,
396
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.759
Maybe not, because if they maybe had a little bit
397
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.680
more time, yes, they could have made a better decision
398
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.200
if they were able to think things through and put
399
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.079
more pieces of the puzzle together and figure out the
400
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.319
problem a little bit more, of course, But if you're
401
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.319
able to come to a very good decision in a
402
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:28.200
shorter period of time, then someone else who's lesser experienced
403
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:29.759
in this sort of spot than you and doesn't have
404
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.079
all of that data already working in their brain from
405
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.720
all of the hundreds millions of hands that they've played,
406
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.640
hundreds of thousands and millions of hands that they've played
407
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:39.480
in the past, then yeah, the pros are going to
408
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:41.559
be better in this spot too. So I can see
409
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.079
kind of both sides of the argument there. My big
410
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:50.279
thing is that we've always made conversation about how tournaments
411
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:54.279
need play clocks like this, and specifically the main event
412
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:58.640
should have play clocks starting to be put into them.
413
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.839
You know, maybe not from the beigin because the fuel
414
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.400
is just too large, but at some point put them in,
415
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.240
which I think is a fine take to make and have,
416
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.119
and I'm pretty sure that I've made that before many times.
417
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:16.000
I just have a big problem with implementing it right
418
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.079
before the start of Day seven, in the middle of
419
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.839
the tournament, when this was not planned at all. Now
420
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.839
I believe keV Matt did share on social media that
421
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.400
it isn't the rules that at any time the tournament
422
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.319
staff can opt to put a play clock in if
423
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.079
they if they deem that it's necessary to have one,
424
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.200
or if they want to have one. I get it,
425
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.599
but I mean, it just seems a bit crazy to
426
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.240
do it this way when it's the biggest spot of
427
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.880
everyone's life, and that's recreationals, that's pros, that's everyone in
428
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.960
the tournament. There's so much money on the line, and
429
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:56.279
you're just changing these rules, Like why because one guy
430
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.519
the day before tanked for fifteen or sixteen minutes? Was
431
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:01.839
the report that was Lauren Klein on a hand? Well,
432
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.160
I mean one, players can call the clock, right, players
433
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.559
need to call the clock more. And I know it's
434
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:09.880
hard for players at the specific table because they are
435
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.599
incentivized not to call the clock. They're just because every
436
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.119
other table can can play hands and they can all
437
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.519
lose players and we're just going to sit here and
438
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.079
wait as long as possible. But that's where the tournament
439
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.559
staff needs to step in. At some point it just
440
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:27.319
becomes way too out of line. And I do think
441
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.119
that when you get down to the later stages of
442
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.039
a tournament of this magnitude, and this is the biggest
443
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.440
tournament in the world, the biggest spot for all of
444
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.720
these players in the world that they will ever have
445
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.279
in their poker lives. You should have a tournament director
446
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:46.160
for each table. I don't know when that starts. Let's
447
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.680
say that starts with ten tables left. You're then able
448
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.559
to have ten tournament directors. But when there's twenty tables left,
449
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.200
there's still ten tournament directors, and each of them have
450
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.240
two tables to manage, right, And then there's thirty tables left,
451
00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:59.920
each of them and have three tables to manage, whatever
452
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.240
that is, and that number obviously gets smaller and smaller
453
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.000
as you go on. My point is that you need
454
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.000
to like physically be watching this stuff like a hawk,
455
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:12.079
because you know this has been a problem before. Tanking
456
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:14.880
and stalling for the paye jumps has been an issue
457
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.240
for as long as I can remember. I remember, heck
458
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.240
years ago, I don't even know the years, like maybe
459
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.960
twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen. I could look it up, but
460
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:26.119
I'm not going to look it up right now. But
461
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.079
when I was at Pokerings at the time and we
462
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:34.279
implemented hand for hand coverage from the final three tables,
463
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:37.240
and I remember one of the tables was playing a
464
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.319
lot slower than the other tables were playing. And so
465
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.359
the tournament staff came to us because they knew that
466
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.559
that we were, you know, covering it hand for hand,
467
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:47.880
and they asked us to give them a report whenever
468
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.160
we would ask on what hand number each table was on,
469
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:54.240
and then they would they would see that and they'd
470
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.039
be like, Okay, this table is on hand number thirty,
471
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:57.920
this table is on hand number forty five. Well, this
472
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.519
one table's playing so much slower than the one. We
473
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.359
need to pause the other tables and a lot of
474
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.400
these other tables to catch up, or maybe we need
475
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:06.799
to go watch the one table to see what's actually
476
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.440
happening there.
477
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:08.039
You know.
478
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:10.640
I know at the studio when we get down to
479
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:13.359
certain number of tables, they're kind of soft hand for
480
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.599
handling it, and they're just they're counting how many hands
481
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.960
are being played at each table, and they're monitoring things,
482
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.240
and they're constantly pausing one table so that another table
483
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.720
can catch up and everything can be played on equal footing.
484
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:29.519
So we need that level of focus on this tournament
485
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.799
when it's the biggest tournament in the world, So that
486
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.079
would have been the simple fix. Today, you come out
487
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:38.440
ahead of time. First of all, you speak to all
488
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.960
the tournament directors you know, and you say, hey, listen,
489
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.119
here's what we're going to do today.
490
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:42.359
Guys.
491
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:45.960
You each have these tables to cover and this is
492
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.160
what you're monitoring. And if it gets out of line,
493
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:50.880
you need to issue warning to the players. You need
494
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:54.519
to start clogging them right. And then after you have
495
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:56.519
your talk with your staff, you can say to the
496
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.319
players in the tournament, Okay, everyone, here's the deal. This
497
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.880
is becoming issue. We've noticed it happening. We're not going
498
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.880
to implement a clock, but this is what's happening. Everyone
499
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.359
is going to be on a relatively short short leash.
500
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:11.920
We understand these are big moments for you and you
501
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:13.480
need to take your time and you need to think
502
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.880
about things. But if it is deemed that you guys
503
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:20.279
are abusing the time that is allotted to you, which
504
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.720
is you know, abusing means when you bet ninety nine
505
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:25.720
percent of your chips you leave it behind, you basically
506
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.759
say that you're Because there has been times and they
507
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:29.160
shown it on a stream where they've been like, you
508
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.720
know what, I'm just going to tank for the pay jump.
509
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:32.480
But I'm probably calling like they'll say stuff like that
510
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.400
the players. I've been at tables when people have said that,
511
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.160
I get it, these are big pay jumps. But if
512
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:39.599
you're openly saying that, and you're you're betting the large
513
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:41.480
majority of your chips and then you should be calling
514
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.240
like that, that's that's abuse of the situation, okay, and
515
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.000
the tournament staff should stay on top of that, and
516
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.680
then you don't need to abruptly put this clock into play,
517
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.839
which in a lot of ways changes the dynamics of
518
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:58.440
the whole tournament. It's very weird that a decision like
519
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:02.039
this would be made on day seven, or entering day
520
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.720
seven of the biggest tournament in the world. I do
521
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.319
think that clocks need to be implemented in this tournament
522
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.079
at some stage because of the tanking and the stalling
523
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:13.000
that starts to happen. Yes, but doing it this way
524
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:15.640
just I don't think sits right with me, and I
525
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:17.160
don't think sits right with a lot of people. As
526
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:20.480
you saw from the response on social media that said
527
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.160
looks like things made it through the day. I guess
528
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.000
unscathed because there wasn't a big issue that I could tell.
529
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:31.920
I mean, I don't know if this means that next
530
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.240
year we're for sure getting the clocks on day seven
531
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:36.519
or maybe even sooner, but I would guess that the
532
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:39.240
answer is yes. I just would have done it a
533
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:42.119
different way. As always, if you guys have any thoughts
534
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:43.640
out there and you want to hit me up directly
535
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:45.480
about them, you guys can hit me up on social media.
536
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.960
You can also send your emails into podcasts at pokro
537
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.119
dot com and I can see what you guys happened
538
00:26:51.160 --> 00:27:08.039
to say. Hosting. Enson also bagged chips for Day eight.
539
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.920
This run is becoming absolutely freaking incredible because he won
540
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:16.880
this tournament in twenty nineteen and now he's in the
541
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:22.160
final twenty one and he looks strong, he looks cool,
542
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.640
he looks calm, he looks collected, he's playing his game.
543
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:30.200
He looks awesome. I'm sure when you've had experience, I mean,
544
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.039
when you've had experience, many people have said it, when
545
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:35.039
you've had experience going deep in this tournament before, you
546
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.200
then know how to do things the next time around.
547
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.720
It just really really helps you. When you've gone on
548
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:44.240
to win it before, I mean, must feel like a
549
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.519
freaking superpower out there, honestly, and hosting Enson is just
550
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.079
absolutely doing the damn thing. If he's able to win
551
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:54.880
this one, I mean, it has to be the greatest
552
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:56.160
feat in the modern era.
553
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:57.079
It just has to be.
554
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.400
I would put it ahead of Michael Mazra what he
555
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.200
did last year, and that's winning the fifty k and
556
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:05.799
then winning the main event. If if Entson's able to
557
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:09.079
win two WSP main events, don't I don't know what
558
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.160
the field size was in twenty nineteen, it was probably
559
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.079
around eight or nine thousand whatever, you know, just a
560
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.559
giant field. You're playing for whatever, how many, nine, ten
561
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:21.400
days or whatever of actual poker across two weeks. And
562
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.480
to be able to do that twice in this era,
563
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.960
with how hard this tournament is, that's just wild shit, man, unbelievable.
564
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:32.119
Thomas Klack from the UK he also backtips played very well.
565
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.160
Pretty crazy stat here about Thomas Klack. He finished second
566
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:39.160
in I think it was twenty twenty five in a
567
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:43.759
tournament in the UK, a two hundred pound buy in
568
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.279
the Grosvenner Goliath the tournament and he won two hundred
569
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:52.519
pound buy him. Okay, guys, he won two hundred and
570
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.880
seventeen thousand pounds. That's two hundred and ninety two thousand dollars.
571
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:01.119
The field size was twelve nine hundred sixty one entries.
572
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:05.000
I mean, holy hell. Antonio Galliana is still in Mario
573
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:10.880
Boss Han Feng, Daniel Stavas, Michael Gaggliano Gags a longtime
574
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.839
pro strong online player, a ton of experience out of
575
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:17.960
New Jersey. He is a bracelet winner. From twenty sixteen,
576
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:20.960
he won the twenty five hundred dollars no limit hold
577
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.200
him for four hundred and forty eight thousand dollars. Jamie
578
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:28.799
Schevell also a player out of the US. Now this
579
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:32.960
is a wild stat. Shavel has cashed in the WSB
580
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:38.720
Main Event eight times now eight times. Listen to this.
581
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:41.400
Two thousand and nine he finished in three hundred and
582
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:44.920
fifth place. Twenty eleven, he got one hundredth In twenty twelve,
583
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.039
he got three hundred and seventy six. In twenty sixteen,
584
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.880
he got two hundred and fifty ninth. In twenty seventeen,
585
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.599
he got four hundred and fifteenth. In twenty twenty two
586
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:55.720
he got six hundred and thirtieth, and then in twenty
587
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.799
twenty four he got thirteen hundred and tenth so eight
588
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.440
w Soupete main event cashes for Jamie Chevelle, and this
589
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.640
is of course his best one to date. But that
590
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:12.759
is an absolutely incredible line of results in this tournament.
591
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:16.640
Just wild stuff there from Jamie Chevelle. Romaine Lewis still
592
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:20.839
left an established French pro bracelet winner. In twenty twenty one,
593
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.400
he won the ten K Super Turbo Bounty for four
594
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:29.519
hundred and sixty three thousand dollars. Lori Saskillatti, I butchered
595
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.359
that last name. I'm sorry. Finished player fifteen point six
596
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.759
million in today eight. Brock Wilson. We've talked about mister Wilson,
597
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:38.920
how it wasn't the best summer for him after a
598
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:41.039
great start to the year, but he's doing the damn
599
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.200
thing here. Brock Wilson had a pretty crazy day. At
600
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:47.400
one point he got it all in against the gentleman
601
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:50.200
that I just mentioned, Sascalotti. They got it all in
602
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:52.720
on the turn of a king high board. Believe it
603
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:58.279
was King three deuce six. Brock Wilson had King Queen,
604
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:04.000
Sascalotti had Ace three and I was bluffing and he
605
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.160
hit an ace on the river that knocked brock Wilson
606
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.480
down quite short, but then brock Wilson was able to
607
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:13.319
spin it back a little bit and put thirteen point
608
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:16.720
six million chips in the back. So that's twenty about
609
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:20.279
twenty two and a half big blinds. Entering to day eighth,
610
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:25.680
Greg Mueller mister FBT himself still alive and he spoke
611
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.960
with Remco Renkima during play today. And this is one
612
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:32.119
of the realist conversations that you're going to hear, because
613
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.759
you know, not a lot of people are able to
614
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.119
admit that they might have been losing motivation, they might
615
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:39.839
have been losing the passion for the game. But Greg
616
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:42.039
Mueller not only admitted that, he said, you know what,
617
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:44.640
I'm going to do something about it. I'm gonna buckle
618
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:46.319
down it and I'm gonna get serious for this Dipesope
619
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:48.720
main event. So here's the conversation that Greg Mueller had
620
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:49.799
with Remco.
621
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:54.559
Greg, we talked on the bubble and what you said
622
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:56.880
surprised me. Where you said, you know, I lost the fire,
623
00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:59.640
I didn't really want to be here, and then you
624
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.640
to commitment to yourself to go and try in the
625
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:05.480
main event. We're a few days later, now, like, what
626
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:06.759
has that experience been like.
627
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:11.799
It's been amazing and a big part of it. Obviously,
628
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.240
my goal is to win the main event. Next goal
629
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.359
is to get to the final table. But regardless of
630
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:19.319
what happens, I can. I can be proud of myself
631
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:24.359
because I you know, I started doubting myself because of
632
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:28.160
the lack of effort and lost enthusiasm I had for
633
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:30.880
the game. And when you don't enjoy something, it's very
634
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.720
difficult to be good at. And you know, like I said,
635
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:37.759
conversation with a couple of good buddies and they're like,
636
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:39.480
what are you doing here? Then you know, and it
637
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:43.759
made me realize, don't come if you're not gonna try. So,
638
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.640
you know what, Okay, the main it's not over. I'm
639
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:49.200
gonna go for it in the main. And I would
640
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:56.079
say based on my focus, my time, my composure, my success,
641
00:32:56.960 --> 00:33:00.480
I've been all in once for my tournament life and
642
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:04.799
I'm gonna walk away no matter what I finish, knowing
643
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.720
that I can still play the game of poker. And yeah,
644
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.559
it's that that makes me proud, regardless.
645
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:16.759
Of what I do. When you say out loud that
646
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:20.079
you lost the fire, what are the thoughts that come
647
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.680
to mind as to how that happens or what that means.
648
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.640
I just just you know, I need stimulation and I
649
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.880
sitting in a chair for twelve hours and getting older
650
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:35.599
doesn't do it for me. I'm active, I like to move,
651
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:37.480
I like to work out. I like to go out
652
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:39.839
with friends. I like the golf, I like to play hockey.
653
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.319
And when you're playing poker, you're making the commitment to
654
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:46.160
sit on a chair for twelve hours and causes weight gain,
655
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:49.079
it causes bad eating habits. It's it's all things that
656
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:54.519
I don't like, and so and truthfully, you know, you
657
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:57.279
got to study a lot to be good, hone your craft,
658
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.319
and I'm on the golf course, I'm not studying, and
659
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:03.480
so you know, people are are solving the game and
660
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:06.680
it's frustrating too. So it's a combination of all these things.
661
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:11.199
And you know these this these last week, I've been
662
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.679
intensively chatting with Bucky, my my good friend, and we
663
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:18.719
go over hams all the time. We're discussing. So I'm
664
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:24.039
learning the gto part to go with my natural poker abilities,
665
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:28.599
my live reads, my instincts, and like I said, I'm
666
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.559
enjoying it and I'm trying. And when that combination hits
667
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:36.320
I'm it's proving that I still got it.
668
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.800
Did you have to remind yourself? Like, hey, I'm Greg Mueller,
669
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:41.280
I know how I know how this works.
670
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:47.239
Hundred I I you know, I kind of lost my
671
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:51.719
identity in the poker world, so to say, because I
672
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.000
just had that attitude of not wanting to be there.
673
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.320
And like I said, whether whether you're an actor, an athlete,
674
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:02.320
a pizza driver, a painter, a musician, if you don't
675
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.920
enjoy what you're doing, you're not gonna be good. And
676
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.199
it just kind of came. It actually got a bit
677
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.760
heated with a buddy and I where he was giving
678
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:17.159
me some tough love and said, hey, FBT, like, if
679
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:19.760
you don't want to be here, then fly home, but
680
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:24.159
stop putting in these half efforts and burning money and
681
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.239
go and leaving and you know, and so like I said,
682
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.320
it's uh, yeah, I'm thrilled to be where I'm at.
683
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:34.039
My next goal is to to get through the day
684
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.559
and then and then make the final table, and then
685
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:39.840
I'll fly home. My trainer's gonna move in with me
686
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:41.559
for two and a half weeks. I'm gonna drop a
687
00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:44.800
quick twenty LB's and come hungry for the final table,
688
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:45.960
and I mean hungry.
689
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.679
You love to hear that from Greg Mueller. There very
690
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.719
much seems in tune with where he stands in this
691
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:57.920
whole thing, very much in tune with himself. And now
692
00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:59.559
the next goal is to make the final table, and
693
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.679
we'll see if he can do it. Dylan Smith still
694
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:05.719
alive as well, one of the shorter stacks. These are
695
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.559
the shorter stacks now that we're talking about. Dylan Smith
696
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:11.880
won the twenty twenty four WPT Seminal Hard Rock Rock
697
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.320
and Roll Poker Open for six hundred and sixty two
698
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:18.079
thousand dollars. He want to bracelet this summer. Earlier this
699
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.880
summer twenty twenty six dos a p twenty five hundred
700
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.519
dollars mixed Big Bet for one hundred and eighty two k.
701
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.840
Dylan Smith certainly one of the best all around players
702
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:29.760
in the world. You can definitely tell from the way
703
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:34.159
he's playing this main event that he values his tournament
704
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:38.559
life to the utmost superiority. And it's likely because at
705
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:41.880
least this is my guess, is that he thinks he
706
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.800
has an edge over the field, which I mean, maybe
707
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:46.719
not every single player in the field, but I think
708
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.239
out of all the twenty one players remaining, and for
709
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.000
much of the day, of course, there was more than
710
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:54.320
twenty one players remaining, but during this day, on Day seven,
711
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:57.320
I would say that Dylan is in the upper the
712
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.480
upper portion, you know, a small little win let's say
713
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.880
five or ten percent of top skillful players left in
714
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.599
the field. So that said, he doesn't really need to
715
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:10.719
increase the variants. In fact, he's trying to lower the
716
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:14.360
variants as much as possible so he's able to apply
717
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:18.079
his skill across a greater stretch of hands, across every
718
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:20.079
single street. You know, there were some spots where you
719
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:22.639
could argued that he could have easily just moved all in,
720
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:26.039
but he opted to take a more conservative route to things,
721
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:29.320
and ultimately it's worked out because you know, Dylan hasn't
722
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.719
had the biggest stack all throughout this tournament, but he
723
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:36.519
is moving on to day eight. Todd Brunson is also
724
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.480
still remaining. He's the second shortest stack heading to day eight,
725
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:44.280
and then we have Tolga Karakaya out of Germany is
726
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:47.000
bringing up the rear with three million in chips. That's
727
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:50.239
going to be I think five big lines entering a
728
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.000
day eight. So that's that's the final twenty one players.
729
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:56.119
Really good group of players, a very strong group of players,
730
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.000
a lot of you know, a lot of big names
731
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:01.719
in here, some top pro some really skillful players, cool stories.
732
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:01.760
In the mix.
733
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:04.199
I think we're in We're in store for a very
734
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.320
very fun final table. Really, no matter how this shakes out,
735
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:09.840
it's been a lot of fun to track these players
736
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.360
all throughout, and we got one more day to get
737
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.559
down to that final table of nine. I mentioned there
738
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.480
were sixty two players that came in to Day seven.
739
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:22.039
A handful of those that were eliminated were Kongya Zang
740
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:25.719
sixty first place for her, she was the last woman standing.
741
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:30.360
Ralph Perry, he called it off incorrectly on a hero call.
742
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:33.039
He really went for it, but ultimately didn't work out
743
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.480
for him. He had he had a pair in his hand,
744
00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:36.719
he had a pair of eights and what it was
745
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.719
like third pair on board or something, but he ran
746
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:43.079
into his opponent's set. He busted in forty fourth place.
747
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:47.880
We lost Jacob Thibodeau and Kay Lautenbacher forty third for Thibodeau.
748
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.719
Lautenbaker got forty second. Two guys I've played quite a
749
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.320
bit with around town here in Las Vegas. Both of
750
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:55.920
them are on the younger side. Both of them are
751
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:59.000
very solid. I would expect to see much more from
752
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:02.440
them in the future. We also lost start of day
753
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.039
chip leader Tyler Gaston in thirty seventh place. We lost
754
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:12.320
Patrick Leonard in thirty seconds. Patrick Leonard Son, I know
755
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:14.280
he didn't make it through the day. There was a
756
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:16.679
lot of love from Patrick Leonard. I'm a big PADS fan.
757
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:21.039
I've talked about him many times on this podcast. Love
758
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:23.679
what he stands for, love the grind, love his passion
759
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.079
for poker. I love it all when it comes to
760
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:28.639
Patrick Leonard. I know a lot of people out there
761
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.800
were rooting for PADS. Ultimately, he did fall short. He
762
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.800
lost a big flip. But you know, what are you
763
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.280
gonna do when it's all said and done. But I
764
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.800
do want to play this interview that this interview that
765
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:43.880
Patrick did with Remco came before he busts it out,
766
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:45.880
so you know, I do, but I do want to
767
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:48.079
play it for you guys anyway, you know, before we
768
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:51.760
ultimately say goodbye. Here to Patrick Leonard from the wasb
769
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.280
min event. So here is Patrick Leonard talking to Remco
770
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:55.079
on day seven.
771
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:59.519
We talked yesterday, and you mentioned that this is more
772
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:03.119
about soaking in and enjoying the experience than it is
773
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:06.920
about celebrating the wind. Potentially, Yeah, twenty years from now,
774
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:09.639
if you were to watch back this video or think
775
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:12.519
back of this experience, what would you hope to remember?
776
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:17.280
Probably just having fun. I think every hand there's something
777
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:20.079
fun about it. It's like something interesting about it, something quirky.
778
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.280
It's been a very intense day because there's shot clocks
779
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:27.159
and the four hands into the day. I use all
780
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.639
of my time banks, so I have to make every decision. Well,
781
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:32.920
I had to make every decision within twenty seconds basically,
782
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:37.119
So I'm playing basically blinds of like twenty five fifty
783
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:39.719
thousand dollars, which is obviously high stakes than anywhere else
784
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:41.639
which is running in the world right now. So I'm
785
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:44.920
doing it with twenty seconds at a time. So in
786
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.639
between hands, instead of necessarily having so much fun, I've
787
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:50.440
tried to, like, what would I do if this happens?
788
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:50.920
This happens?
789
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:55.559
This happens because brain solving with emotion, brain solving when
790
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.119
you're tired after seven days is quite tough. It's quite
791
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.320
funny because online you actually have like fifteen secons and
792
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:01.760
you have other tables, so people like, what are you
793
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:05.280
talking about? But I just haven't played quite these stakes before,
794
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.639
so it's gone a little bit less from having fun
795
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.039
and then a little bit more from intensity. And at
796
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:14.039
this stage, I think people expected it to be like
797
00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:16.280
fifty people left and there's thirty two because the shot
798
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:18.519
clocks have just made it play like three times as
799
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:20.719
many hands. So yeah, just trying to.
800
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:22.920
Work around that.
801
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:27.559
Basically, does the intensity and pressure come from your current
802
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:30.440
situation being shorter, or does it also come from the moment.
803
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:33.360
It comes from other people as well. I feel like
804
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:37.199
if I think energy is like energy comes from other people.
805
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.199
You know, if if a guy at the table starts
806
00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:41.280
being like a jerk, everyone else will kind of like
807
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:43.599
hide away kind of thing where you have like a
808
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:45.840
really nice guy who social whatever, everyone else just kind
809
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:48.559
of like comes out their shell too. So everyone's stacks
810
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:50.519
are swinging up and down and people are losing, you know,
811
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:53.760
like millions of dollars in EV or winning millions of
812
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:55.119
dollars in EV. So you're just trying to feed up
813
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:57.440
other people's energy. Like I don't want to necessarily crack
814
00:41:57.480 --> 00:41:58.920
a joke with a guy who's just lost like three
815
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:00.840
million dollars in ev But if a guy next to me,
816
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:02.119
he's just one, you know, a big part, I'll give
817
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:04.039
them a litle fish one under the table. So it's
818
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:06.840
a yes. It was very laid back, chilled. Today is
819
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:07.559
very intense.
820
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:09.599
I would say, do you think you're one of the
821
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.119
few left aware of how big this moment is?
822
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:15.559
No, I don't think so. I don't think it's lost
823
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:18.400
on anybody. I think everyone's everyone seems to be really
824
00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:20.880
soaked in. There has been a few spots where like
825
00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:23.760
people are just like, let's say, gambled quote unquote. But
826
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:25.760
it's not necessarily the worst thing to do to gamble. Now,
827
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:27.760
you know, the pay rumps from two sixty five to
828
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:30.199
three twenty five is a lot. It's you know, over
829
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:32.800
fifty thousand dollars, but first place is ten million and
830
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:34.679
we're not that far from it now we're like last
831
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.599
three and a half tables, so you have to get
832
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.079
one table down and h Yeah, playing for the win
833
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:42.960
isn't necessarily the worst thing. Especially with the shot clock
834
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:44.760
and intensity, you can kind of take an advantage of
835
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:45.360
a big stack.
836
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:49.880
So yeah, final question, what does it take if you
837
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.320
still need to do stuff to get to that point,
838
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:57.199
to walk away feeling proud of your your accomplishment and
839
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:57.800
your performance.
840
00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:00.639
Yeah, I never really feel pride, to be honest, after
841
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:03.559
a tournament. It's usually you always remember the hands you
842
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:05.559
played bad or you could have done something different, rather
843
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.199
than the hands you played well. So it's not usually
844
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:11.679
an emotion I have. But I'm not sure I'm imagining.
845
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:14.400
I try to always plan for different scenarios so that
846
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:16.440
I don't get too overwhelmed one way or another, too
847
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:20.840
happy two side, And yeah, I'm kind of prepared to
848
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:23.960
go out as the next player, but I'm not trying to.
849
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:26.800
I basically, you just don't want to try to play
850
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:28.920
day seven waiting for Day eight tomorrow. I want to
851
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:30.719
play at the moment right now and try to get
852
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:32.320
as many chips as like I'm listening.
853
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:49.760
So that was Pad's great run for him, great score
854
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:53.000
of course. Now I'm sure he's gonna turn his attention
855
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:56.119
to watching his home country of England to try and
856
00:43:56.880 --> 00:44:01.639
bring it home in the world. Cuppie Pantaleo another player
857
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:03.800
who I've played quite a bit with around town. He
858
00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.599
busted in twenty fifth place. Fun little note about Giuseppe.
859
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.519
So I'm in the Poker Steak Giant group, theed where
860
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:12.440
we all have to post our receipts and stuff to
861
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:14.840
settle all the steak in arrangements that we do on
862
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:18.760
poker Steak. After he busted, Giseppe posted that he hopped
863
00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:21.480
into three k PLO six max I think or whatever
864
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.599
that three k plo tournament is that that started at
865
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:27.079
the World Series today. All the respect to him, because
866
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:28.760
there's no way in hell I'd be able to do that.
867
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.280
After busting this deep in the WSITP main event and
868
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:35.920
then we lost Jaulu in twenty second place. He was
869
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.280
the last player to bust on the day. He was
870
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:41.199
once over forty million. I'm not sure if he touched
871
00:44:41.239 --> 00:44:43.119
fifty million or not, but he had a bowload of
872
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:46.039
chips and then all of a sudden he just collapsed,
873
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:49.000
like started just losing all these different pots. He paid
874
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:53.000
off a big bet to Jue Milan kind of late
875
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:56.719
in the night when Jumalan had a Broadway straight and
876
00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:59.639
Lou just had a pair of bases, so that was
877
00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:02.840
a big loss, and then ultimately busted after that and
878
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:05.280
he was out the door in twenty second place. So
879
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:08.760
that leaves us with twenty one players left in the
880
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:11.119
World Series of Poker Main Event. They are all headed
881
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:15.519
to Day eight on Monday. They are all guaranteed three
882
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:19.119
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. The next pay jump
883
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:22.239
will be when there are seventeen players left. Those seventeen
884
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:25.800
players will get four hundred and ten thousand dollars and
885
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.159
then we will go from there. The goal is The
886
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:32.840
goal is on Monday to reach the twenty twenty six
887
00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:37.360
WSP Main Event Final table, the final table for the
888
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.719
greatest poker tournament in the world. The final nine are
889
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:45.280
all guaranteed. Once they get there, they will all be

00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:50.719
guaranteed one million dollars with a giant a massive shout out,
891
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:54.000
massive ten million dollars up top. I mean, this has
892
00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:57.440
been freaking awesome to watch from start to finish. I
893
00:45:57.519 --> 00:45:59.719
will be watching as much as I can on Monday,
894
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:03.039
and of course be watching the final table as always.
895
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:05.679

00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:21.480
