You're listening to the number one poker show in the land,
and it's time for a new edition of the Poker Goal Podcast. Community Cards. I got to keep you on your toes. No, you just forgot. I did forget exactly a couple of things. Evan Thomas, three bedies in a row in the golf course running the hot I think that's pretty cool. Not much of a golfer, but I know that's pretty good. Paul Berman went to Palm Springs, came back cash the Monster Stack today it must
be nice. And then I've met at least seven people today and yesterday saying family pot wan a hat when you get into new hats, they're coming, guys. I just want to make an announcement that coming. We've been told Tuesday or Wednesday this week, so please come find us on one of those days and we'll get you a hat and you can win a bracelet. Yeah, I mean listen, the hats are great. Um. You guys have been blowing us away with how many podcasts fans we have here. Sorry,
no I did not. You didn't win. I mean I got forty seventh and you, which is really bad in an extremely standard po spot. I mean, come on, um, if you ever full days nine there, I'm never investing in you ever again. Um. Anyway, moving on, um to some actual news and happenings. Event number forty, the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars Super High Roll or sixty nine entries in this one. They finished it today, Chris Brewer finally getting his first World Series of Poker
Gold bracelet. He wins nearly five point three million dollars in absolutely wild finish to what was a entertaining and also polarizing event due to one player, Martin Gabrell. I mean that was the really you know the story there was if you watched the day two coverage that Remco and I did yesterday on the streams, you got quite a bit of Martin Cabrell. You know, you got some Daniel Nagran, you you got some Phil Ivy, but then towards the
end of the night, you got some Martin Cabrell. It was wacky. It was certainly probably something that a lot of people looked at was like I hate this, you know, but they probably hate watched you know, Um, I want this guy to bust. I want him to lose all that sort of stuff. Some some people were like, you know what, this is fun. You know, and especially in a field like the two hundred fifty super High Roll or where just being honest, the players are tend to
be pretty dry. I'm not saying that to be derogatory. They just don't show a lot of emotion. Now I don't personally care because I like to watch these high buying events to watch the play, so I'm just really honed in on like how these guys are playing the very high level above the rim stuff that doing. Like I love that, so, you know, but some people are like, oh, this isn't fun. You know, you can get that dust up every single time. It's not that fun. What's
happening. This is why we like to watch cash games and not these tournaments. Like it's the whole thing. You know, it always comes up probably everyone two to three months on social media. It kind of rears its head as a big argument amongst the community. And that's that. Well here, so you have one of those two hundred fifty A super high Roller events,
you have a lot of those players that people say aren't entertaining. But then you inject Martin Cavrell, who is you know, for all intents and purposes in internet roll in real life is what he is. I mean, like, that's exactly what he is. Like he and he you can tell that he he does it to get under people's skin, and it works in a lot of cases. Even today in his Bust Out interview, Chance Corneth mentioned that, you know, yeah, I think Martin's antics kind of got under
my skin. We're gonna play the winner interview with Chris Brewer that Tim and I did you know, he said that it didn't really get under his skin. He was kind of prepared going in. He knew what to expect, so he just, you know, he's like, I'm thick skinned. It's not gonna bother me too much. Not a big deal. But he also said that, yeah, it could probably affect some other players at the table. It might have affected Dan Smith. I mean, I don't know if
it affected Dan Smith's play. I mean, he seemed like he played normal Dan Smith, very good, you know, calculated, all that sort of stuff. But he did have some choice words after he after you know, he busted, and he busted at the hands of Cabrell. And then you know, as he was taking his mic off, you could hear him say, I hope you give He said, good luck to everyone except for you.
I hope you get barred, you know. So so yeah, very very polarizing figure is Martin cabrelu And if I you know, I was in the in the chat on Poker gro Jeff Platon, Brent Hanks were doing the commentary. I was in the chat. The chat was probably I would say seventy five percent I hate this guy twenty five percent. This is funny and entertaining, So it wasn't totally like one hundred. It can definitely be bold.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm generally for whatever is the most entertaining thing, whatever is the most attractive thing, I catching thing, all that sort of stuff. Um, and so yeah, that's what he is, you know. So should get back to the headliner, and that is Chris Brewer, who through most of the final table it seemed like he was just kind of like on the sidelines watching the action. So you had like the anti stuff that was going on with Martin Cabrell Um he came in
second and Chips Chance, Corneth you know. So it was those two guys at the top. They started like taking some players out as things went on. They started with nine players today we started streaming at seven when seven were left. I believe Um Stephen Veneziano went out in ninth place. I forget who went out in eighth place. Brandon Stephen went on eighth place. Brandon Stephen finished in second place last year to Alex Foxon in this event is now
cast. Yeah, now cashed this year and he was short yesterday on the bubble for quite some time and then ended up making it into the money. So then they get down to seven handed. I think Martin took someone out, a Chance took a couple of people out, and Chris Brouwers is kind of there like he's just on the side, you know, and then all of a sudden they're down to three handed play when Alex Kolev bus in fourth
place. Then you know, Martin Cabrell, who had been the chip leader or one of the chip leaders for much of the final table today, he gets knocked down to third place. He ends up getting it all in with Queen Deuce versus Artur marta Rosian's ace king. He loses that one, so he's out. So now it's heads up between the Russian Artur Martrosian, who is an incredibly tough, very very very good high stakes tournament player. He does a lot of his work online, but then you see him a lot
in a lot of the big stuff that is outside of the US. You know, you see him at I don't know PCA. You see him and all the Triton stops, the EPT high roll was all that sort of, and the guy's just an absolute crusher. Okay, So he goes into heads up play against Chris Brewer. He's got about a three to one chip advantage to start. Heads up play starts, Chris Brewer starts chipping away, pulls things back to just about even, but then Martarosian starts to extend his lead
once again. Then there's a big hand that comes up where Brewer limps pocket threes on the button. Martarosian raises Ace ten. Brewer shoves with his threes. Martarosian quickly calls with the ace ten. The threes hold, so now Brewers got a two to one chip lead. Then it takes like three hands and it's all over. And it was an absolutely insane finish to what happened. So they get it all in pre flop. It's Brewers got ace seven,
I believe it was. Martarosian raised the button, Brewer jammed, Martarosian calls, yeah, he's got ace king. Martarosian does, and he's the player at risk, but he's in an absolutely dominating position to double up because Brewers got a seven, So it's as King Marta Rosie and a seven for Brewer. It comes King nine five with two spades. Marta Rosie has the King of spades, which comes into play because the turn is the eight of spades, so now Brewer needs a six, but it can't be the six
of spades, and what does the river bring us? The six of diamonds and Brewer shoots up starts yelling let's f and go, like he's super pumped up. If you remember the twenty five K heads up, the semifinal match against Doug Polk, his kings went down to Doug Folks queens in that rivercar when it was a queen. Doug Polk was doing laps around the place, you know. All the Brewer ended up finishing the third place in that tournament.
So and then there's been I don't even know how many other times a dozen other times we've seen Brewer, like in the Studio Bubbling Tournament, Super High Roller Bowl, the fifty K finales and whatever series that were running. He's just constantly running bad bubbling all these spots, like losing tons of money in equity, like just run absolutely crappy, the worst side of variants that you could ever be on. Right, But now this year, this win, it all seems to be turning this year. Now he's won. So
he won nearly five point three million dollars for this finish here. He got it very emotional afterwards, been talking to Natalie Body just how like, first of all, this is the tournament that, above all the other tournaments he really wanted to win. You know, he's a super high roller player. This is the super high Roller tournament at the USIP. It has a crap ton of money that comes along with it, It has the prestige, It obviously has the gold bracelet, which is his first, so it has all
of those things. He got very emotional talking about it, talking about how he's been through a lot and things haven't worked out for him in the past, but now finally he got there and he did so and arguably the biggest stage that he's ever been on. You know, he this earlier this year. He had some results at EPT Paris, he had some results in some
Triton events. He's had a amazing year. I think he came into this tournament with around three point seven million dollars in tournament earnings this year alone. Adding this, I think he gets up over nine million total damn, which is just wild. He is the front runner in terms of money one this year for any poker player he moved ahead of I think it was Isaac Haxton was up on top with around seven point six million after Isaac Haxton won one
of the high Rollers a few days ago for his first bracelet. So you know, two guys there, Haxton and Brewer, who were you know, on the best without a Bracelet list? Now they're not on it. You know. Brewer spoke with Tim and I. We both did a little joint interview afterwards. So we're gonna play that for you now. And just hear Chris talk about, you know, finally getting this massive, massive win. Chris, congratulations. First of usp bracelet. I've been covering you for a
couple of years now. You're very calm and you're very stoic person. That when that Six of Diamonds came, that was a different reaction. Tell me, what what will you feel deep inside? Then when that six a Times film, I mean I was, I was like shocked. I was shocked it came. Um, I was just excited. I was happy. Today was Today was a long day, Like it was a lot of play. Um. I was staying next to mam all in the entire time. He doesn't I don't think he gets to me as much as he gets to other
people. But it's still just like it's a lot, it's a lot of talking. It was a lot of everything. The whole day. I was just like trying to stay composed and calm, and uh, I could feel the excitement building, and I was like in my head, I was like ready, like I lost this one, We're gonna keep going. So it's just like instead, just have it be done and I'm winning and I have five point five million dollars and all of this. It was, uh, it was amazing. I think it's you know, pretty easy to say a
sense of relief you might be feeling right now. There's a lot of talking. You know, the high rob of world had maybe Chris bur runs the worse, but is that monkey gone? Can we bury that monkey into deserts? Let's let's appail you. I mean, I've said it so many times. It was like, I mean now and now, I'm sure I'm way above money ab after those a couple of these hands. But I probably was
like the most below in the all ends. But I always thought it was like kind of silly view, like I was playing high stakes pokel whole living and I was comfortable. I have a great golf and I didn't have a think I would There was a period maybe why I was adult call and I thought it was fairly unlucky, but I had read shifted to that. But to get some poke results also feels pretty good. And it's a bit of a monkey off the back for sure. This picture here propels you the second
on the PGT leader board. Okay, I want to know what Murtive like, why what do you enjoy about playing these high roller events? Um, I've always been in a really competitive pulsing. I grew up in an athlete. I went to Olgan because I wanted to be at the best track school in the nation. I wanted to see if I was good enough to be the Ompics. And honestly, it sound like something I've spoken it about a ton, but like I left something on the table on the track. I
think all my teammates would agree. I wasn't like I wasn't I wasn't lazy, but maybe I was ninety five percent. I never gave it at all, and it's always something I think I'm gonna regret, Like I'm never gonna break full in the mile because of it, and it bothers me and I think, like in Poco, I've always felt like I just when I'm done whatever I am, I just never want to feel that I didn't try my best to be the best that I could be. Those are an old organ.
Steve Prefontaine as a quote, it to do anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. And that's really how I feel, and that's why I just want to play the best players and see if I can win. When you say, you know, you've worked so hard, whether it's track, whether it's poker, but in poker there's still luck that's involved so much. Come clothes so many times. I mean you've had that emotional moment afterwards. Just just talk a little bit about that kind of what it felt
like it once again. Yeah, I mean it's pokes hold, it's um, it's super emotional. You get all these wheeled spots where you're with your friends but you're competing against them. Like I had a thing why like I take forul three minutes to put Dan Smith in the big line, and like I talked with Dan every day. I'm good friends. I don't like like fucking him oval, but like we're playing competitive and then like you get unlucky, and sometimes you get unlucky, againt someone you like and you're mad at
them. Oh not mad at them, but you're mad at the world. And it's just a lot of emotions, and I react, I think a little bit more outwardly than other people do um, which also kind of showed there at the end. But yeah, all noll, I mean say, today was great. I have no complaints. Obviously, you talked about how with with Natalie, how you felt like today it was going to kind of be your day. You feel like you were gonna be lucky. Why why
did you feel that? I don't, I don't know. I just like I just felt the entire day two basically too, like we I just felt very like in control and call and relaxed. I mean it doesn't like mean anything like I could have gotten knocked out. I had plenty of times to get knocked out, but I just kept feeling like I was gonna I was confident I was gonna make the best decision whatever reason. I was in a good mental space and I just I felt like if I kept making good decisions,
good things would happen. So yeah, I walked out. I think I think we have to ask this question about Mondain Grabrel and well let's call it the antiques you know at the table. Do you think that actually got onto some of the other place Yes, yeah, I think I think I think it got into a lot of people's skin. Um, people varely frustrated.
It was an edgy final table, and I think some people probably won't Probably was slightly even if they played close out they would want They probably don't love the way they felt the whole time time, and everyone's so good at these final tables. The edges were so tiny that I do think getting frustrated
can cost you kind of more significant than you would like. I don't know if you got to hear Chance Corner's bust out interview, but he did say that he felt like Martin's antics kind of got to him a little bit coming into the final table. You know you're sitting right next to Martin. Is that something you like kind of mentally prepared yourself for. He just wasn't gonna bother me. I don't know. I have a lot of things I do get anxious about, but I don't care what if someone says to me,
like whatever, all we'll play in the game. I'm just trying to do the best I can. He can say whatever he wants. And then about your year as a whole. This year has been great for you. Yeah, I think you've won or caps for more than nine million dollars now, totals on the year. What is it that's clicking this year than other years. I mean, I'm getting luck, He'll, like, that's the biggest thing if at the end of the day is I'm getting luck, he'll.
I do think my mindsets in a bettle spot. I do think I have some slightly different views on the way I you tournaments compared to how I used to, and I think it's helping a little bit. But the majority of stuff is just that I've gone lucky, y'all. All right? That was Chris Brewer shout out to Steve Prefontaine, you know, the runner out of Oregon. Um. Tim hasn't seen the movie, and I told him he needs to watch it, because then I've seen the movie. I know who
Steve Prefontaine is. So then when Chris Brewer like came on to the poker scene and I knew that he was a runner in Oregon. Every time I look at Chris, I always think Steve Prefontaine from like the two thousands, or from like the sixth months, from like the eighties or something. I don't even know. We get old, got it? Yeah, Like, I mean, but you should you should watch watch the movie. Um,
it's it's a good movie. Event Number thirty eight, ten thousand dollars Limit duced to seven Triple Draw Championship, one hundred and thirty entries in this one, they need they needed an extra day, which kind of seems to be the case for all of these limit ten K championship events. The ninety minute levels are wild to me. Um, I mean, it just seems it seems crazy. It just does. I don't. I think. I think Daniel had a good thought in he's vlogged today about you know, the forty
minutes on day wanted good to get through some levels. But then maybe it's an hour on day half of day one, and then it goes so like I sorry, hours on day two that goes into nineties or something. So it just it needs Why do they have to be ninety though? I don't know. I'll follow up with Daniel and I'll ask him about the ninety but from where I sit right now, I just don't feel like they need to
go to nine day. I feel like that's too long. Yeah. First of all, I think that all these guys in these events play pretty quick like that, you know, these hands aren't really drawn out. I could be wrong there. I'm not playing in the events, but every time I watched them, you know, the limit tournaments, they're playing pretty fast, right, So I don't know, seventy five could you do that an hour? I mean I think in hours fine, maybe yeah, I think an
hour's fine. But obviously we're not the players this field, and you should cater to them because these these are your your VIP clients, hele. So you know, if you want to give them a little bit longer than seventy five, I think works. It's a nice middle ground, um, you know, but yeah, anyway. Benny Glazer, Benny the Lazer Glazer. He won his fifth WSP goal verse a three hundred and eleven thousand, four hundred and twenty eight dollars. Michael Rodriguez is back, but crusher crushing.
I'm looking at him up. He won the inaugural Bedogie tournament here at the World Series of Poker. They had their bidogie tournament this year, for the first time I ever having a standalone bdogie tournament. Michael Rodriguez won it and then he finished his third place here in the ten thousand dollars deuced to seven triple draw Julium seven cashes this year. Yeah, two online Crusher Mystery Millions dpst run two hundred and seventh. He's got a thirty six thirty six and
the five K no limit hold of him. This guy's just a crusher man. Then he's got the first in the bidogey you don't forget, he's got seventh, so he's the limb duced to seven. And then he's got third in the ten K limit. Yeah, so he's just gonna be. He's gonna gonna be thirty seven dollars in the twenty five K Fantasy League next year, and he's in the PPC right now. Yep, exactly. And while playing online m Julia Martini took fifth place in this one, David bakes Baker
took sixth place. Jauviere got seventh place. Benny Glazier's WISP results in twenty fifteen. He won his first gold bracelet in this game, but the fifteen hundred dollars buy in version twenty sixteen. He won two gold bracelet's fifteen hundred dollars Omaha High Low and the ten k Omaha High Low Championship twenty twenty one, So a gap of five years before, of course, twenty twenty was off, but a gap of five years there before he wins his fourth gold
bracelet. He wins the ten k Raz Championship, and then in twenty twenty three, this event that we're talking about now, ten k duced seven triple draw Changship. And I think he has like twenty nine scoop titles or something crazy acoustas twenty nine. I mean, he has an insane amount of hoop titles on Folkers Stars. I mean, Benny Glazer is just a really,
really really well rounded player. And then for those of you that want to say, oh, well, you know he's just a mixed game player, Well, he finished second the WPT World Championship in December for two or two point five or two point eight million dollars, I forget what it was, something crazy like that. That's ultimately what got him into last year's PGT Championship, which then he then came out and battled with those guys in that tournament.
So Benny extremely well rounded player on the younger side of things. So I'm guessing he's going to just continue to rack up these titles as the years go on. After his win, Tim spoke with him and we'll play that interview for you guys now, Benny connratulations fifth WSP bracet y braces are a validation of of a poker player, and you have three bracessing championship events. So as a mixed game player, how important is it to have those in
three championship events? It does feel like it's it's more meaning full. For example, like in this version for the fifteen hundred, when I was making a run and I was like, should be coming into day three? This one did feel like it's it's a bigger deal. It did feel more meaningful, like to potentially win this one as opposed to that one. So I'm I do feel happier about winning this onecond Yeah, you have two bracelets in our way two bracelets now induce. Is there any particular game of all the
mixed games you play that you're most confident in. I think my best game is probably O eight still, yeah, but it's it's probably close to these days. Yeah, we've seen really good numbers here in all these mixed game events this series. Obviously you played at the PGTAM mix game series. Do you see you know a trend arp for mixed games going forward? Now, I hope, so that would be really nice to see. The PGT series was a great turnout and in October as well, I hope that would be
great. The fields the series have been amazing, very pleased with those. I hope it's like a mixed game thing and not just like a world series thing. So I guess we'll see. I'll be curious like how the PPC does, But yeah, anything where the numbers are growing is great. Obviously, what events have you not won a president that you would most like to win? Obviously with PPC, one of the big mixes with a higher buy and it's more prestigious, But any particular game that you'd like to find success
in at the series not youre Todd five already. Yeah, as you say, the PBC is really the one. Aside from that, I think my favorite will probably probably be No Limits Single Draw US to seven and the tan K version that especially, it's one of the toughest events of the series and it's my favorite game. I love it. I think it's such a pure skillful game of poker that I think that would be the one. Do you have? Obviously, you know, winning a tournament isn't always a function of
you I'm just saying that there's variants involved in actually closing it out. Do you set goals for like I'd like to win this many braces in my life or is that not something you focused on? It's kind of it. It's a bit hard to do, obviously. I don't aready have any life goals like that obviously, kind of trying to take one year at a time and try to play my best throughout the summer and hopefully the success would just continue out of improving and playing well. All right, that was Benny Glazer.
You want to give us an update on the PGT leaderboard now? We talked about the two and fifty high roller or super high roller excuse me, that qualified for the PGT, the ten Kduce seven Triple Jaw that also qualified for the PGT. So how is the leaderboard update looking? We have had some Aria high rollers going on as well, so yeah, we had three Aria high rollers. We mentioned the first one on the last episode. Since then we had two more numbers steadily growing, which is good. So we went
from twenty seven entrance to thirty four to forty eight. Bernard Larabi won the second one Sam sub Rule our twenty five K Fantasy Team Member one is at the wrong venue. He's at the wrong venue, but hey, he's got some confidence. He's going to come back here and he's going to do some crushing. But the leaderboard, Cris Brewer, after his win, moves into second place behind Isaac Haxton with thirteen hundred and eighty three points. Chance Corneth
up into fourth with eleven hundred and one points. Sam Cybril on the back of his win for one hundred and sixty three K, he is now fifth with one thousand and seventy six points. Dan Smith climbs into fifteenth, Artomtrozayan
into twenty fifth, and Alex Kolev thirty fourth. So you know, some big results in that two fifty K. And we've obviously got the PPC now running with registrations still open until tomorrow, and we've got a big PA Low week coming up with the ten K, the twenty five K. We've still got a fifty a lot of PGT qualifying events still remain, and obviously the big granddaddy of them all, the WSP main event.

Jeremy Joseph took fourth, Patrick Trong fifth. Mark Safe, who I believe has two bracelets. Is it two bracelests
within a week? Yes, two racests within a week. I heard him when I was playing in the events. He was at a different table. He was talking. Somebody asked him about how many bracelets he had. He said I he had too, and he's like and I want him back to back. Yeah. So Mark Safe finished in sixth place. Event number thirty nine the fifteen hundred dollars monster stack. I always want to say monster mash.
I don't know why. I just always want to say that. UM so eight thousand, three hundred and seventeen entries, about eighteen hundred entries more than last year. Huge turn. I think it got right around sixty five hundred last year. One million, one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars for the winner. Can you imagine that that's massive? That's so big. This is a fifteen hundred dollars buying. It had two starting flights and it is
you can only enter once per day, so I didn't know that. Yeah, you can enter like one A and then if you bust, you can re enter on one. No, you can only re enter on the different starting Yeah, that's why this tournament's amazing. Um, this is one like I feel like I want to carve out like next year, like try and actually play this one. Yeah. I've always avoided it because it's just so
long and I haven't felt like I can get the time off. But maybe going into the summer next year, I'll be like, hey, I want these couple days off to try and actually play this one. Very player friendly structure. You start with fifty k chips um, you know, nice and slow and grind that they made the money today on day two I forget when a couple hours into the day or whatever. So twenty seven hundred and fifteen started day two. There are fewer than four hundred players remaining. I think
it's around three eighty five three ninety just thereabouts. I don't I refuse to believe this chip count, Tim, I refuse to believe. So I refused to believe this chip count because and the next person, which he's like triple, the next person tone Win has is listed at nine point five million. I feel like he wrote an extra zero. The next best is three point eight nine. Yeah, they just know way. It feels very fake.
This feels like one of those things where, like, you know, when we were doing when we used to do the reports, we would get the reports sent to us and just so everyone knows, this isn't necessarily a poker new thing or whatever, because this was on the actuality report, So like this is from the slip. But it could be like he wrote it weird or funky, or maybe the person punching the numbers put an extra zero in
nine could look like a one. Maybe he's not exact one exactly. Actually, actually, one of the things, this would have been one of those things where we would we would have been like, hey, can you get there twenty minutes earlier? You got to go look at this guy's bag. He's in this seat and this sea whatever, see and then you'd get there and you'd be like, no, he has seven chips in the bag. There's no way he is. Remember this, this happened first day we decided
to stream here of the Tournament of Champions. We selected a table, we had the chip leader, but he had added an extra zero exactly like you know, I actually done that in the two K I should have just wrote like twenty million at the end of the day one. Please don't do that. No, I don't ever want to do that. But you know that people can do that, like for sure, and we just have to trust that they're decent human beings. I know, I understand, but I mean
this. I just refused to believe that he has three times as many chips as anyone else. I refuse to believe it. Um uh so, yeah, so who else has a big stack? Roj Voha fourth in chips. Ros just always does it and he's Jesse, Iago Numa seventeen chips, another twenty five k fantasy grinded, John Reord and eleventh over. Listen John On, if you're listening, we really need this feel bonus, Okay, So just make it happen, buddy, Julian Boggy, Yes, my guy,
he's out there. Two point seven million, un Kim David Jackson, Zenzai, Kyle Julius. I saw Kyle Julius out there. It was the last level of the day, so his beer was full as he was drinking it down in the beer level. WPT champion Tony Roberto still in as well. Uh Je Did Chris or did christ Arnette make it? Through a friend of the podcast Christi Arnett. I don't know, but three hundred odd players probably gonna get down to what what do we think A couple of tables somewhere.
Tomorrow is day three and it's supposed to then finish the next day. I don't think it's going to get Last year, they came into the final day with thirty nine players a lot. There's a crap ton of players. And then then they reached the final table. Remember we streamed it, and I forget the winner's name. Is that the table jumper? Yeah, joke, joke, kitch jockey? I can't remember, Yeah, he jumped on the table. That's the guy I'm talking about. I can't remember his name,
Michael Jokich or whatever. I forget his I forget his name, sorry, but you know he was wearing all white, white T shirt, white shorts, white shoes. Then he had a white backwards kit. That's what nine hundred and sixty six thousand five hu jumped on the tables. Yes he did? Um he or sorry. They made the final table last year. Um at right around five pm that day Johnny Moreno made it through with two hundred k. I don't see Christie Moreno, who they have listed as Christie Arnett
Moreno, Um, don't see her on there. I mean, this one will be a fun one. The Monster I almost said monster match again. The Monster Stack is always a super super fun tournament. So we'll see how that one goes a couple more days of play, so we'll be talking about it as we go. Event number forty one, fifteen hundred dollar big oh um. I was way under on how many entries this would get. Because it got. It got fourteen hundred and fifty eight. I mean, hello,
this is insane. Three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars for first place. There are eighteen players remaining. Victor Ramdon is leading the way. He's actually, you know, I think the official he yes he does, but he is second in ships. Um just just took a little slip, but he does not. I would have given him a bracelet seven. Yeah, I didn't think he had one, but he also could have easily had one two
thousand and two or something. Yeah, Victor Ramdon, winner of the big event at the bike you remember what it was an n EPT and the whole stuff happened. They had to pull the name and the branding and all that sort of nonsense. Um, Johnny Chan is in there chasing number eleven gold bracelet number eleven, fin Chan. You know where he's on the leaderboard, dead last eleven. It's happening. It's a signed, it's a sign, a sign. Adam Owen is out there. Scott Abrams, Scott, he
doesn't know. John Shorman, friend of the pod, John Shorman, he's doing it. AWAYSA met is out there. Robert Williamson the third, Yeah, still in the field. I watched this tournament. Um, you know, I went over there and watched a little bit, and then I'd walk back to the future table and like I'd watch it a little bit. I feel like there was an all in every hint that's a big U baby,
And I was like, what is this tournament? It's awesome, Like I know, but this is I was like what everyone just gets it all in NonStop. It's all that was happening. Yeah, that's why. I mean, I'm not my exadree and seventy the hands I watched the people were all in, and I think when it was great, he walked over. There was a full way all in and that was like nuts. Twenty four left.
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. Um. Event number forty two, the eight hundred dollars Noeleman hold him deep Stack that kicked off today, nearly thirty eight hundred entries in the field, almost three hundred and forty thousand dollars for first place in no one. Do you any chip gun from me there? Or I'm gonna read you the chip later. Oh my god, it's a. It's a. It's a known person. And obviously the tournament is still going. We don't know. I just pulled it up. Of course,
let's go look at the top five. I mean, what is this top five? It's awesome, But Gina ream two point four million antoine Sao one point six million, pat pat world famous lines one point six million karai out of mea one point four What is he doing? He should be in the PPC. Well, he should be in the two fifty k super high Roller, or should have been. But he took. I was I was watching that hand live. I mean that was not GTOI was it approved.
I know that freaking nuts. Um, I see Martin finger in the field, Leo Marguette, Blair Hinkle. Wonderful play. Marquez, Yeah, look that up, says he is. Nick Palms the out there. I mean, I don't know if these chip guns are correct or not, because it's it's not exactly the end of the day, but um, they'll be chugging along in that one. This is supposed to be a two day event. It's supposed to finish tomorrow. I'm not sure, not sure if that'll happen,
but but we'll see and we'll update you as we go. All Right, our favorite event, number forty three, fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship the p p C, formerly the fifty K Horse. Yes, then it was what the fifty K eight game or whatever like nine game. No, I think it just went straight to the PPC. But we played eight. We went it hadn't it wasn't a game, and you know the chip leaders. Yeah, I'd fill up ivy, fill up ivy your boys second,
James ops, he is Julian Martin. I don't think they're done with play yet for today, so understand that this could change. But how about this. These are players that are probably in the field right now. Phil Ivy, James Offs, Julian Martini, John Manette. John Manette, you had a when he talked to him, what did you say he's played the city. I think he said he played at twelve times, hasn't cashed yet.
I mean that's just so so insane, especially because you gotta figure he's one of the best players in the field, yes, and he hasn't cashed at
once. I mean, that's just freaking wild. Oh. I see one name that I really like, Victor Blom, Bryce Jockey, Josh Area Elier Sion who won the event before, Michael Montse Scott Sever, Chris Vitch, Matthew Ashton, also a former winner, Matt Glancery's, Evelevski, Paul Volpi, David Williams, Jen Harmon's out there, Nacho Barbaro, Brian Rass, Eric Wasserston, Tommy Hang carry Katz We saw him when he was walking to register. Daniel Kate's Philip Ramos, Marco Johnson to Loshakirci, I'll just stop
there because I'm just gonna seven more names seven have not seen. Joe Cassidy cast Oh my god, no way, Yeah, that's amazing. This is great. Joe Cassidy. Oh man, that's amazing. David ODB Bakers out there, Sean Dieve, Dan Zach, Anthony Zeno, Um, Dara Sammartino. I mean you guys can check out the updates, see the end of day reports over atsip dot com. They'll publish all of that stuff in the update section. Oh. One person that we obviously have to talk about that
we didn't in this event, Lamar Wilkinson. Chris Moneymaker. Oh I thought you actually, I was just setting you out for like Dan Kates. But yeah, Chris, Well, okay, we should talk about Dan Kates. Dan Kates, two time defending champion. He showed up as Terminator today, okay, with like with the face pain like exposed, exposed, like metal underneath. He's got the leather jack and I he's got the sunglasses, got the whole thing. He looks like, you know, it looks great like
Terminator. Yeah. Um, So he's out there battling, looking to go again. He won it two years ago, he won it last year. He's gonna try and do the absolutely unthinkable chance and if he does win it, I think Kevin Martin owes him like sixty five thousand dollars because they have a bet on it um. And then yeah, Chris Moneymaker playing the event
for the first time. I was extremely confused why. Like I heard today that he was possible, could possibly be in the field, and I was like, what, He's never like seven of the the Yeah, I mean he he likes mixed games a lot. He's played some some lower limit stuff around. You know, I've played in a couple of lower limit mixed game tournaments with him, some lower limit cash games when he's just screwing around, um, that sort of thing. You know. Never in a million years
did I think he would hop into the fifty k PPC. But great to see the two thousand and three debs we made him in champ out there battling with some of the absolute best of the best UM in this tournament. That is pretty cool. So yeah, um, this one will be a five day or this was day one? Yeah, who the heck knows. I think registration is open to like what nine or ten tomorrow, some crazy levels and the levels are one hundred minutes long the most random time and when they
start and they start play tomorrow at one pm, I believe. So there's a break, a fifteen minute break after every level. Levels are one hundred minutes long. Is a dinner break tomorrow, sixteen minute dinner break, not gonna end till one am, and then they that's when registration closed after that, basically eight fifteen pm. Yeah, and you're definitely gonna get a bunch of guys that rock up, like right when that happens. Um, how's this? How's the stack? Look? When you so the stock of level?
Now, how much you start with in this three hundred k? Oh, that's a lot. You're basically playing ten k, twenty k. That's all right, that's fine, plenty fifteen, big bets, heaps, yeah, umps, yeah, yeah, great. Um, So that'll be happening day three and day four has of right now, we are planning to stream that via the Horseshoe Feature Table on the poker Go YouTube channel, and then day five, the final day of the final table, that will be on
poker Go behind the paywall. So the goal right now is to stream three days of the PPC. So for any of you out there that's say you need to do more mixed games. We're trying to and this is it we see responding to you. Three days of PPC covers. That's what we're trying to be. Um. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. Um you know, Remcon I will be handling the stuff over on the YouTube channel. Should be a blast. Obviously, this tournament is just a who's
who of some of the absolute best players in the world. Um, so we'll see, if you know, we'll see how it goes. I might as well talk about who's busted. Nick Schulman out, Michael Rodriguez, who we just talked about is having a great summer. He is out, Greg Mueller out, Ben lamb out, Daniel Lagron you, oh my god gone. Ralph Perry is out you ball braunchtein, John Hennigan aka Johnny World out to own Knacklemer. We mentioned him finishing in fourth place in the Mini PPC.
He's out in Eliot Lezra also out. So some big names there. I don't see Phil Hellmuth in there. Yes, he was taking a day off today. I mean, of course he is a day off. He's going to register super late. Like that's what Phil Helmyth does so, so yeah, he'll be doing that thing. We'll get a bunch of people that show up late. I'm assuming Mike Rodinski, who ran kind of deep in the I mean deep in the big oh. I think he took thirty six thirty six, So he'll be out there. You want to know who?
I saw it today? By the way, this is randomly can to me in the monster stack, Namily your boy. I saw him too, actually, just grinding over there and like a monster prob. I was actually looking for the Father's Day part. I was looking for J. C. Tran God. Yeah, yeah, he would have been a good one. He's probably already home with his kids with his Father's Day. Um um, all right, what's coming up? We got a three k nolem and hold Him. On Monday, we got a fifteen hundred dollar mixed own Maha also on
Monday. On Tuesday we get a five hundred dollars noelm and holding Freeze Out. I really wish I could play that one, but can't. Fifteen hundred dollar horse that'd be a fun one to play as well. Um, are you gonna play that? No? Because we have to do a day through the PPC well you don't have to. Who's the one picking the tables and counting the chips. I mean, okay, fine, I mean to say I'm off, I'm off. No no, no, no, no, you do whatever you want. You know what we need to play tomorrow.
I'm it's gonna be really hot to convince you we need to play the two fifty hole steeps that I'm definitely not playing ten K for first, I don't care. I'm not playing that. Come on. I'm straight focused on NOELM and holding tournaments and like I've purposely like cut out other games. I don't go and I'm invited to home games or mixed games or anything ever come to it. I know because I'm only focused on one thing right now. That's the only thing I want to focus on. I'm all or nothing type of
guy. That's that's how I just do things. So all right, So yeah, so I as much as I would love to dabble in the fifteen hunt all Our Horse on Tuesday, as much as I would love to dabble in that whatever two or three hundred all Horse whatever it is tomorrow night, that deep sector himant great, But you guys can have your fun. I'm going to be sitting on the sidelines because I got I gotta keep my focus
on the other stuff. Huh. Don't buy a pace, Yeah, as long as you don't sell it to me for the third price you did last time. Did I make you money? Though? You did, but I still had to sweat it for quite a bit time. All Right, that's gonna do it for us. I don't think we have anything else talk about, do you Okay? Good?
