Transcript

Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His name is Tim Duckworth. Possibly a quicker episode than normal because Tim is gonna quit the show on me if I run over half an hour, so we're gonna try and whip through things as fast as possible. The thing is that Tim is extra tired. He's tired Tim today because he played forty five soccer games against Max Cruz, former

German national team player. I heard Tim schooled him that that was the word on the street from the because because Max Screws has put on some weight, Tim has lost all the weight. So I'm sure Tim, you know, pulled off a couple of nutmegs. Yeah, what did you score today at all? At all? He played forty five games, you didn't score one? Didn't have the lord?

All right, First things, First, ten thousand dollars mystery bounty because we got a million dollar winner, Matthew Lambreck wins it all

tops the nine hundred and sixty five entrance field. Remember this event five hundred and sixty eight entries last year, so just about doubled it. That's incredible. Mystery bounties are hot, Buddy Hot. His fifth WSP cash this year. He finished third in a win sixteen hundred for two hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars a month ago. I mean, hell, Matthew Lambert, he moves into eighth place on the PGT leaderboard just from this or did he have

other peaches catches? Oh my gosh, hello, pretty fun final table l for that one. Of course. You know these guys are blasting off. Actually, you know, you mentioned on yesterday's episode that they might finish today and I was like, no, they're not going to finish today. Then when I left, I was like, they're down to nine Jesus, they might finish today. They did come back on Wednesday and played it out,

but yeah, good fun. There million dollars up top for Matthew lamberck Arash Gahanian wins the ten thousand dollars Stud High Low Championship, the tournament that finally ended in the future. How long did this tournament ultimately take? Four days? Right? Nearly a full fourth day? Yeah? Yeah, this fix the structure or scheduled this tournament as four days. I'd vote fix the structure,

get it over in three. Gahanian topped a one hundred and sixty seven entry field, another event that was up year over year because there was one hundred and forty one last year. He won three hundred and seventy six thousand dollars Richie Scalar in heads up play. It was Gahanian's second WSP Goald bracelet. Back in twenty fifteen, he scooped up first place in the fifteen hundred

dollars horse for just under two hundred and forty thousand dollars. He didn't quite climb up as high as Matthew Lambreck did on the PGT leaderboard, but he did climb. He moved into seventy sixth place on that leaderboard. So congratulations to Urash Gahanian for that one. Twenty five hundred dollars Mixed Big bet was won by of course, it was won by a guy on Renlan's team,

of course. Wing Polu takes it Down tops a four hundred and sixty eight entry field, another event that was up three hundred and seventy seven entries last year for sixty eight, really late surge. We've been talking about the numbers all summer long. Some are up, some are down, some are up, some are down. The only thing that's been guaranteed to be up are ten can higher big bets. Plo and Nola had hold them. Everything else

has kind of been bouncing up and down. But this last week Colossus smashed, the Mystery Bounty smashed, Mini main event smashed, so you know, and then you have these three events here or these two other ones. You have the ten K stud, you have the twenty five hundred dollars mixed big bet, all up, so trending in the right direction as we are now into the main event. Wing Polou won two hundred and nine thousand dollars for

the victory. There, Team Setna wins the one thousand dollars tag team event. This team is made up by Jimmy Sedna and Jason James from Canada. There were fourteen hundred and thirty seven teams, so did they win one hundred and ninety thousand dollars each or total? So they won one hundred and ninety thousand total, so that's ninety five thousand dollars each. It's the first bracelet for these two Jimmy Setna and Jason James was of those last year's winners.

Yeah, on the entrance. Another field that was the other field up last year was Michael Savakinas and Satoshi Tanaka once. Just about the same prize money one hundred ninety thousand dollars twelve hundred and eighty two entries last year. So what's that about? One hundred and fifty or so? Is the uptick year? Over here? They're down to five in the fifty thousand dollars PLO high roller, one hundred and eighty seven entries down. No way, you're lying

to me. There's no way this event is down. This is not allowed to be down. This is not how it is. You know what this is? This is thirteen down. Is re entry variance. That's what it is, one hundred percent. It's nothing else. It's re entry variance. Okay, two hundred last year, one hundred and eighty seven this year.

Re entry variants. More than eight point nine million dollars In the Prize Bowl, twenty nine players finished in the money, including Dan Smith, Didlan Wiseman, that's your boy, Dan Shack, Noah Schwartz, Jason Mercier Victor Blom. The maturation of Victor Blom continues. Carry Katz sean winter our guy. He busted in tenth place, Ben Lamb Bryant Rast fresh off his second place finished in the twenty five thousand dollars PLO high Roller, and then David Benjamin

who's back. I guess yeah, crushing. Danny Tang is the chip leader of the final five, ahead of Ronald Kaijer, Daniel Percusic, Jim Collapi and Santoche Servanna. Santosh won the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars Super high Roller. He beat Ben Toleren and heads up Play to win over five million dollars in that event for his second Tabespi Goal bracelet. Now he's in the final five here, I'm curious, Can you look up quickly? If Santosh

goes on to win, where's he going to POI? I mean, two hundred and fifty k Super high Roller win, then fifty K PLO high Roller win. That seems like it's two pretty elite bracelets. Yeah, but he hasn't done that much else right, sure, but I'm just curious, like where he's at. First place in this event is two point one million million dollars. Second place is one point four million dollars. The final five are all guaranteed five hundred and three thousand dollars. What do you got for me

anything? Oh, you're doing math. This is bad news. I can see it in your eyes. He's like six hundred points shots still, but six hundred points is within striking distance. He goes into the Yeah, it's it's it's not the way he lookuts needs another win, and it's what is sever? What's the what's sever? In August thirty seven hundred, Yeah, Osmas has thirty four hundred Santosh will move to thirty one hundred. I thought Osmos was five hundred points behind it. He's closer than that. So the

Poy race is not done in any sense of the word. So, I mean, it's kind of crazy to think that it's not done, just given the fact that Sever has won three and we were talking today in our chat that like the max Chaos result is if Jeremy Osmas like goes on to win two online bracelets which he plays on all day online, so that it could certainly happen. Because the reason why I say that is because only one online

cash counts towards POI the mini main event. This one had six thousand and seventy six entries, up over last year's had about fifty two hundred or so fifty three hundred. Kyle Williamson leads the final five. He's got a boatload of chips, one hundred and forty six million. He's ahead of Giorgios Scarparis one hundred and forty three million, Alexander Barbabelly, Barbara Belly. That's a lot of babas into this last name. I'm sorry, Alexander. Oh my

gosh, this gap is insane. So Williamson has one hundred and forty three million, Scarparis has one hundred and forty three million, then Barbara Belly has thirty six million, Mikhail Zava Looka has twenty million, and Dirk Bruns has seventeen million. I mean, it's the haves and the have nots. First place five hundred and fifty five thousand. The final five are guaranteed one hundred and fifty eight thousand. As you can tell, trying to rip through this

stuff because I want to get to the main event. Okay, the main event is the main event. Eight hundred dollars. Independence Day celebration kicks off one A. How many starting flights two twenty eight hundred and sixty four In today's starting flight, one hundred and fifty remain. Ivan denev is leading the way. Mark Safe is in there. Brandon Shields. They're both among the top five Men win Men win is just like big Field Nolanman hold a master

now, I guess twenty five K fantasy. Yeah, Gladiator's a poker in their deep, Colossus in their deep. Now. It looks like he's setting up for a deep run in the Independence Day celebration. Martin Zemani also in there. I haven't seen this name of forever and Kevin McFee, I haven't seen that. I mean, that's kind of random. Player of the day. Af Ari Angle Bulldog Ari is also out there. All right, it's made event time, baby. Did you find out the numbers for one A?

We talked about yet we talked about last year was one thousand and thirty seven. I have it? You haven't I have it? Oh? You have it? What do we got? It's less than that? Less than that? What does that mean? It's official? It's sub a thousand? Is it? Sub on thousand like seven hundred is sub an thousand, like nine to ninety eight like in the nine hundreds. Yeah, so okay,

that's fine. So last year on Day one A had one thousand and thirty seven, the year before that eight ninety six, the year before that had five twenty three. So it looks like if Tim's math is correct, which we know from yesterday's episode that his math is not his strong suit by any means, probably gonna come in a little bit less, but it's fine. Nothing too crazy. Joshua Figer looks to be the early chip leader. Three hundred and eleven thousand for him, so more than five starring stacks. Everyone

starts with sixty thousand in chips. As Off Saharia bagged two hundred and seventy six thousand. Jonas with Doak bagged two hundred and sixty eight thousand. Francmorrow he won the ten thousand dollars Super Triper bounty earlier this summer, two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars for him. Jonathan wog Wong, excuse me, two hundred and thirty nine thousand. I saw Pedro Bromman our friend. Wait, I don't think it's him because I looked for him twice. I saw

him. I saw him walking out. I said, how'd you do? He said, I think I'm like fourth in chips. He said he bagged over like two hundred k. We're all looking for him, couldn't find him. He was like right out here like where Jeff was, in that area where Jeff was sitting. He said, he bagged over two undre k, and he's like, I think I'm fourth in chips. Luke Wynn, who was up on the feature table, bagged over two under k, like two

hundred and ten, two hundred and nine something like that. Official counts are in. Luke Win's interesting because he he did the Commerce thing where he played one hundred hours at least of cash in April, qualified for that free roll that they had where there were six hundred people in in the top I think twenty he said, got a thirty K package and the part of that package was to c out here and play in the ten thousand dollars main event.

So he's part of that Commerce Poker team and had a great day one. So here are the top ten ship counts official from WSP. We already mentioned five, got three, eleven, I say if Frank fernardra Max Stuckton two hundred and sixty, k Jay Wu two fifty two, Non Lee to forty seven, Vid Zaga to forty one, Jonathan Wong two thirty nine, Naoikihara

to twenty eight. Pedro Bromp from tenth overall two hundred and twenty four thousand told Brompin, Yeah, we couldn't find him, so we just jipped Platt ninety six or something, he said, I believe, I think he said it on the stream. He also ninety six one, ninety six to one for him. Okay, who else bag chip? Phil Galfon I think one hundred and eighty five thousand believe Parker Talbot bag chips. Michael Musrocky I believed bagged chips. Greg Merson and que Winn, who were both up on the

main feature table to the night alongside Luke Win, they bagged chips. I think Greg Merson bagged around thirty five or thirty six thousand, so a little bit over half of starting. But listen, this thing is a marathon, not a sprint. If anyone knows that it's former champions like Queen Win, like Greg Merson, they certainly know what it takes. John Party bagged a lot of chips, think he was around like one hundred and fifty thousand or

so. And the night Farah Galfond didn't bag too many chips, but she also bagged chips looks like fifteen or sixteen eleven k. So there you go. But she said at the end the night, she told Jeff Platt, I'm just gonna double up, and then I'm gonna double up, and then I'm gonna double up on day two. So that's Fara Galfon's plan. So yeah, overall a fun day. It definitely felt like to me at least, I know you weren't here for all today because you were busy, you

know, f and off and playing soccer. I can't WINSA and Australia. But like, I walked in here today, got here around noon and it felt like the WSP main event, which I'm happy that it felt like that. It was minimum, not that I would expect it to feel like anything else, but you know, the room was buzzing. You could tell people were kind of tense also excited at the same time. It was a lot

of fun. You know, everyone's like pumped up, ready to go ready to put chips in the bag, ready to survive and advance, survive in advance. This thing is a marathon. Now, I'm not sure if you watched the live stream at all, but the play was wildly entertaining. I mean, you think day one of the main event, like people are going to be pretty much ultra conservative only, like the very elite pros are going to be in there splashing around. I mean everyone was splashing around. There

was a ton of three bets, there was a ton of action. This player, Brent Barbie, who was on our secondary feature table for the second half of Day one A, was absolutely blasting. He got it all in in this insanely massive pot with king ten on a jack jack nine board against king jack and just drills a queen on the turn. After he I think he bet got raised and then jammed for like sixty K. He bet like four. The guy made it seventeen. It was this player named Acosta.

He jammed for like fifty seven or something like that. Acosta calls queen on the turn boom and he's you know, has like one hundred and forty eight or one hundred and fifty k or whatever. It is moving forward. So there was a lot of craziness. And speaking of craziness, I feel like we see it every year. We saw it this year. Two players busted out on the very first hand of play. Now, I don't know how it happens, if I'm being dead honest with you, I mean, I

saw these hands. I got no idea how these people go broke? Do you no? I honestly don't Hagen brock in the main event in the first hand first all. Well, I'll tell you how you go broke on the first hand or first hand. Is you get aces and somebody beats you like like it gets it all in pre Like that's how you get it only in pre Huh, don't get it all in prey. I mean, what if

you can't control it? What if there's a Rais and or reraise in front of you and you you four bet the aces and then the guy who three bet says, I'm all in with my kings, okay, call like I mean, you know, or you flop top set and some guy's got some sort of combo draw and like, you know, like you can get it

all in. Yes, yeah you can't, you know, but I'm saying like you should almost never go broke unless on the first hand, you know, unless you have the absolute best hand and you just get unlucky, like that should be the way that you go broke. Now, these two hands were pretty wild, So I want to talk about the one that involved Harlan Karnowsky and ISOD before I talk about the one that I think is getting a lot more play, and that's the one that involved TJ. Deroche. So

we'll get to the TJ one seconds. But this other hand, if I'm going off the Poker News and wsp dot com updates, there was a raise from a player, Harlan Karnofsky to five hundred. Again, this is the first hand, so everyone's sixty thousand deep. They're playing one hundred two hundred with a two hundred big blind Nancy, So Karnofsky raises to five hundred for a middle position. He gets four callers according to the table. I mean, hello, Like I said, today, everyone wanted to play hands like.

Everyone didn't matter what table looked like. Everyone was just splashing around. The flop is jack ten six with two diamonds, jacket diamonds, six of diamonds and then ten of hearts. Karnofsky bets twelve hundred craig Issod raises to seven k out of the small blind. Everyone folds back over to Karnofsky. He makes the call, Turn is a black four the four of space. It'sod fires fifteen k, you know, kind of close to pot size. Karnowsky makes the call river ace of clubs, so jack ten six with two

diamonds four spades, Ace of clubs. So the current nuts are King Queen flush straw didn't come in. Sets are obviously beat by a straight. It'sod just rips in his last thirty seven k or so Karnowski hits him with the call because he's got King Queen. It'sod's got pocket sixes. I mean, what are we doing? Like what I mean, huh, what are we doing here? What are we doing? I mean, listen, this is a hand where I don't know. I mean, I can't say. I

can't say It'sod gets it in on the flop, but bottom set. I mean, if he plays his hand this way, I'm guessing he does. Yes. But what I'm getting at is that Karnowski had a King Queen of diamonds. So he flopped the open ended straight jaw with the second nuff flush straw, so you know he's probably going with his hand a lot of times. So there was that that was Craig Izo'd busting out, and then there's

this hand from TJ. De Roche. So the updates have it as the board is jack ten eight eight, ace, David Williamson and TJ or Travis de Roche, TJ. Deoche get it all in on the river. It goes bet, big bet, pretty big bet from Williamson. De Roche jams and then Williamson hits him with a call because he's got quad eights. Deroche has tens for tens full of eights. Now. Poker News did an interview with TJ. De Roche where he described the hand now based on what we

know. We know starting stack as sixty k. We know the first hand they're playing two hundred. I deduced what I think was the action. Okay, so TJ said it folded to him. In the cutoff, he raised big blind called I'm assuming TJ makes it five hundred or six hundred, right, that's pretty standard in this early level. You either go two and a half or you go three x. The big blind calls. So let's say he made it six hundred you know the full three x big blind call,

so the pot's at fifteen hundred. Then he says on the jack ten eight, jack of spades, ten of diamonds, eight of hearts, flop. The big blind leads for one third pot, so if the pot's fifteen hundred, he's leading for five hundred. TJ says he makes it three and a half x his bet, so seventeen fifty. Big blind calls call. So now the pot is five K. Turn is the eight of clubs pairing.

The board board is completely rainbow. The big blind checks. TJ says, he bets like close to pot, so let's put it at forty five hundred. Okay, forty five hundred into five K. Big blind call, So now the pot's at fourteen K. River comes ace of diamonds, jack ten eight eight ace no flustraw on board. TJ in the video says that his opponent bets I don't know, like eighty percent pot I think is what he said, So I don't know. Let's call it eleven K is what he

bets. Eleven K into fourteen K. Based on the action so far, TJ has a little bit over fifty three thousand behind and jams, which seems a bit wild to me. I mean, he said in the video. I think that he was optimistic that he gets called by jack eights, which is a worse full house he gets called by some straits. I respectfully disagree. I think players in the main event, from everything that I've seen over the years, they probably fold jack eighty. Yeah, like, and they

probably for sure fold straits. So especially when you as the preflop razor in position, you can have all the jacks, the tens, the aces, right, So therefore the europe is folding the jack eighte in my opinion, Like now if you make it like if he bets eleven into fourteen on the river and you make it like twenty three, k. I agree, they probably called the jack eye, they might call the Queen nine. They might

even fold the Queen nine. That's I feel like that's kind of on the fence, right, So I think that's kind of more of a better play here. I mean, yeah, I just feel like these players in the main event that they value their tournament lives so much. Yeah, that jamming it just really like allows them to fold, right, like you know, I don't know, I feel like they can just get away from things.

Plus listen, I kind of feel like the ev of going from sixty K to one hundred and twenty k on the first hand is like in the grand scheme of things not that important versus like making some sort of tighter, more conservative play where you can be like, Okay, just in case he has it, I'm gonna do this wildly conservative play and maybe just call here or maybe raise smaller and then fold if I get jammed on, because saving your

tournament life in the main event, specifically where the structure is what it is, is so so so valuable. I also have to point out that if what TJ because TJ recalled the hand to Program News in his video, if what he's saying is correct, and the player that called his raises in the big blind, there's no way TJ can go bro because that player posts the big blind antsy. Yeah, I was thinking about that, and you know, and so that player to start the hand has fifty nine eight hundred because

the big blind anti does not count for your stack. The big blind counts, yes, but the two hundred that he posted, So you know how that is. It's first hand. You must have the same amount of chips and Okay, you're right, Yeah, for sure. I mean, listen, it's probably I mean, the dealer probably assumed that. Yes, TJ probably assumed that. Yet, you know, I get it, like whatever. I mean, maybe there's a chance that he was left with two hundred

and he just left the table and said I'm out. You know whatever. Yeah, I mean, I just these two hands. I don't really see how you can go broke here. I mean, it seems wildly ambitious from both players, from both TJ and then from Isad with the sixes. Like, I just it seems crazy to me. There were several other players that busted pretty early. Yeah, there was, so I mean, you know, these aren't the only players that are out. There were several players that

busted overall. I think. Yeah. Ronchers read through that list of the players who are no longer in the WSP main event, Brad Owen, Kinda England, Eric Affriott, Freddy dae As, Taylor, Cale Burns, Kangaroo Crew, Paul Newly, Kyle juliez Upeshka Da Silva. So they're all out going to have to find another tournament to fire. I think we lost. Let me look real quick, somebody said the clock said like eight thirty or something was left, but we didn't know the entries. Well I know the

entries, So did it say it on the twenty? Does it say how many entries? No? Yeah, they always put TV years know what it is? Are you allowed to tell people or is this one of your fake off the record things. I asked for theofficial number. I'm not going to go saying it out loud hundred thousand, but you're you're willing to put on the record what is an off the record conversation? Yet you won't didn't give

itofficial. This is very weird. This is very respecting the U. You're expecting what you're protecting your sources, protecting you blew your source the other day. Now you're protecting your sources, not respecting protecting sources. The main event was super fun. The stuff that I saw on stream today, I'm just like, can I get one of these tables please? Because I've had some

very tough tables on my day ones two years that I played. I plan on playing Friday for one c so I hope I get some of these guys that are in there mixing it up. I don't think. I don't know if you mentioned him, but I know you didn't. Joseph Chong also busted. He busted on the second to last hand of the day. He was on the secondary feature table for the second part of the day. So what we're doing for the streams because of the extended dinner break that happens in between

for the first four starting days. For the four starting days, sorry, not the first one. The four starting flights, we start streaming at the five thirty Vegas time till seven thirty, so that covers level three. Then there's a break. Then we come back at nine pm Vegas time, and we stream till about one to one thirty, which covers the last two levels of the night. Again levels in the ws P main event, two hours

long players played. The final level of day one is three hundred and six hundred with a six hundred big blind anti So if you come in with a fresh stack during that level, you're still sitting down with one hundred big blinds, which is plenty to work with in a poker tournament. But yeah, I mean, listen, these players were out there. The last team you saw, I saw several Like I feel like the average race size today was five X. I'm not joking. Michael Misrocky was on the feature table for

much of the day. He was in all these different hands all the time, like you know, all over the place. He actually had a crazy hand against your boy, Yeah, Daniel Hasham. Daniel Hasham opened ace King of Hearts. Miss Rocky hit him with yes name. Then Daniel Hasham opened with Ace King of Hearts. Michael Mrocky hit him with the three bet with ace ten off. Hashim elected to just call. Having to play out a position just called came ten nine deuce or ten nine five ten nine xts with

one heart check from Hasham, bet from Miss Rocky. Call turn was another heart low heart check from Hasham. Miss Rocky bet, and Hashim jammed on him with just two overs in the flush draw and Miss Rocky had top paira top kicker and tanked for like six minutes forever, and like he kept like I mean, Daniel Hashim looked like a statue. He did not move, and Miss Rocky was you know, he looked like he was gonna call. He looked like he was gonna fold. He put his cards in his hand

like he was gonna fold. He put his chips in his hand like he was gonna call. He started talking out loud of all the hands that he thought Daniel Hasham could have. He was like, you could have there must have been a five on the flop because he was like Ace five of hearts. Maybe you could have Jack tennehearts. Maybe you could have Queen teneheart or

started Queen jack Aheart's like all this sort of stuff. Basically, Miss ROCKI just he ultimately decided to fold, and he said, you know, even if I call, there's really only two scenarios, is what he said. I call and you have a set and I'm dead right, or I call and you just have a bunch of outs. I mean, he probably had the worst hand of the ones that have a bunch of outs because Miss Rocky had about seventy five percent equity to the twenty five percent that Hashham had.

But still, I mean, he's still got a lot of equity there. He can hit a king, he can hit a heart. I mean, Hashim might have felt that both his ace and a king were good. He's also blocking aces and kings for Miss Rocky. It's also Miss Rocky who doesn't need to have a premium hand to three bet you. He can be getting a little bit out of line, So I just I thought it was a

really good play from Hashim. Was pretty impressed with his play when he was up on the feature table, was impressed with his play when he came second in the double board bomb pot you know a couple weeks ago. Miss Rocky was as expected. It was the Michael miss Rocky roller coaster, you know, the grinder roller coaster. He started with sixty K. He was down to like, I don't know for sure, some twenty ye. I don't

know if it was like eighteen. Remco said it might have been twelve at one point, but then he ended up doubling back when he got aces versus Queens. When he got moved off of the feature table, I think he finished with a round fifty K, sixty K something like that, so he was able to spin it back up to starting. So so yeah, it was a fun, fun, fun day of poker. We saw a really wacky hand full house over full House where a guy on the feature table limped

at the four hundred big blind level. He limped queens. Somebody else limped Queen Jack. I think it was Daniel Hasham raised with like ace four of hearts or something. The guy with the Queen's just calls. The guy with the queen Jack calls it comes Queen Jack something. And then the turn was a queen and that's when they get all the money in and it's like, how's that possible? What queens versus Queen Jack? Yeah, queens vsus Queen

Jack. Can you have a queen Jack? Queen wold? No, Queen Jack Jack, he said, queen Sorry, there's Jack on the turn. Yeah, Jack on the turn. I mean yeah, It's like, what are you gonna do? Because if you have the Queen Jack in that spot the way that it plays out, it's like, how does this guy? Yeah, because I think I think the flop is queen Jack deuce, so he could totally have deuces, you know, limps deuces, calls the raise,

flops a seton you know. And the funny thing was is that he the player who I think his name was your ISLAMI if I remember correctly, and sorry if I'm getting the wrong player, but he limped called the Rays of the Queens when he flopped top set. He just led that's awesome into his opponents. And I believe Daniel Hasham had a flushtraw called the flop ended

up getting away on the turn. But yeah, I mean it's just really really fun poker today for what you would expect for Day one A. You know, a lot of times you go into the Day one a's like from a fan perspective, from a production perspective, and you're like, Okay, this is probably going to be on the more boring side because it's super early in this tournament. These everyone starts a bazillion big blind steep, so you

know what's really going to happen here. But it was really really fun active, a lot of people in there splashing around, a lot of big raises on orthodox styles. So now if I'm thinking of me as the player who's going into play Day one see on Friday, it makes me feel very good because I saw a lot of like whackiness out there that I think I can

capitalize on. But I also saw a lot of unorthodox play that could put you in a lot of really weird, tough spots that you're not used to being right, Like like Fras Jaka had this player on his direct right, Brent Barbie, who was opening like five six seven x pre flop like and at one point like he opened for like six or seven x or something, and Joka's next to him in position with ace nine hearts, and like Jaka hadn't had a lot of playable hands or spots with the way that this table

was playing out, But like, what do you do with ace nine suit it? Like, I mean, I was thinking, you probably just folded, but like you also want to play pots against this player if you think he's lesser experienced and he's gonna kind of put too much money into the pot at times. So Jaka called, I mean Barbie had ace queen. Like the reason why I say that I would have folded is because I'm in the booth watching all the hands, and like every time Barbie did come in with

a race, he had a pretty good hand. I feel like the worst hand that he raised it was like king jack or king ten. So it's not like he had just like he's not even there like seven to four off blasting away. I mean he did have some some you know, good hands Broadway cards, et cetera. So but it's just tricky if you're Joka, where like normally if a player comes in for like two x or two point five x, yeah, you just flat the ace nine of hearts play it

in position and go from there. But it makes things really kind of awkward when people start coming in for five, six, seven X pre and it's like, well, what am I gonna do here? Like I think he even had Jackson at one point and was just like, you know, six X, Like, well what do you do? Like it's so it's very tricky. You get a lot of different playing styles that come out for the main event, and honestly, that's what makes it the best tournament in the

world. Like it's just it's this giant melting pot. It's the tournament that everyone wants to take their in. It's the biggest best poker tournament in the world, and you just you get everything you really do. So again, part of me as the player is like, this is great. I can't wait to get in there and like, you know, battle and hopefully I get some softer spots and I can just kind of chip up easily on day one. But then the other part of me is like, hmm, you

could get in some really kind of weird spots like it. I think Jeff even had kind of a weird spot today. Jeff Platt, who played Day one a while also working which was a very kind of interesting combo. But he had this hand that he messaged us about where pre flop, a gentleman raised to thirteen hundred. I'm assuming it was either five or six hundred. I think it was five hundred. Big blind Jonathan Deppa called, and then Jeff made it fifty five hundred from the small blind with ace. Queen of

Diamonds, the original razor made the call. It came Queen high on the flop. I think it was Queen eight four if I remember correctly. Platt sizes down comes with thirty five hundred. His opponent calls turn was a five. Platt comes with twelve k, so you know, kicks his bet size up a little bit and his opponent jams and Plat tanked for a while, ultimately folded and his opponent showed his oppone showed the camera and it was Queen's top set. But it's like, you know, it's a that's a very

tricky spot, very interesting. I mean, Jeff ultimately got away from it and then was able to run his stack back up to over ninety thousand, where he finished the day. But yeah, I mean, you get stuff like that. I mean, it's not easy to navigate the WASP main events. It's a bit of a minefield at times, but I think you always just kind of have to remember that this is a marathon, it's not a sprint, and that's what you gotta go with. I also want to I

want to read one thing. One I think this is some advice for you over there, mister queen queen on the eight high flop. So I think it's just good advice for everyone out there. It comes from Patrick Leonard. If you guys don't follow Patrick Leonard pads on either Twitter, slash acts or Instagram, I'm really not sure what you're doing. Gives great insight. Is often showing hands that he plays online live, talks about them, talks about

strategy. I mean, it's just free content and it's good stuff to learn from. But he says, and we kind of talked about this before when I mentioned the John Jaffey interview with Daniel mcgran youw so, yeah, he said, overall, in most cases, it's likely you won't cash. In ninety nine point ninety nine percent of lifetimes you won't win, and final tabling is not likely at all. So it's very probable you're going to bust at some point in a place you're not happy with. So if busting is the

only inevitable thing in the tournament, then don't be scared to bust. If you bust hand one, I won't care. If you have a good logical reasons for what you're doing, I won't care at all. Don't ever be afraid to bust, but be conscious of not chasing your peak stack. That's the number one mistake most people make in most live tournaments fomo of a previous

version of their selves. So I think that's very good advice, not only for people playing the WSP Main Event, but for people playing any poker tournament out there. You know, it's pretty simple, but coming from pads, it's it's you know, it's really good stuff. And yeah again, free content, free stuff to learn from. Can you please tell me what's on tomorrow besides Day one B of the WSP Main Event. Only Day one B

of the eight hundred. That's it. The only two things? Yeah, I double check, But okay, well I thought there would be something else. All right, Well it's gonna be our Today is Thursday, July fourth. I'm very interested to see what happens with the main event. What do you think, Like, what did it get last year? On? What was about the sign? A? Thousand and something? Was one B last year on the fourth? Oh, it was the same. Interesting, So I say, we get I don't know, fifty. It's only there's a

lot of people going to that big HUNI party. Have fun with that one? Are you going? Fuck? Nothing? I mean when I think about it, I'm like, you know, twenty three year old me wants to go. Oh hell yeah, forty year old me wants nothing to do with it. Nothing, twenty nine year old me doesn't even want to go twenty seven. That's why I said, twenty three year old me wants to go anything else, anything over twenty eight. Nah, it ain't happening. And

that's where I am right now. So someone else be going. I was like no, but I mean there's a lot of people going. I can only imagine. I mean, I'm sure it's a Where does he live?

I don't know, but I think they call it the compound. I mean I think I've seen a lot of pictures of the house, you know, like you see a lot of oftentimes people are over there that you know, we might follow on social media, and there's a bowling alley there and there's a crazy pool like, I mean, come on, I mean, what do you expect from a guy that wins The Hunter Came and the finished third in the two fifty kid, I mean he lives on a compound. That's

how it is. I enjoying my July fourth with you right here with the whole shoe. Yeah, I mean, listen, my fancy outfit. You were in a fancy outfit. You know. We had Brian mike On in the booth today at the end of the night and he was saying how he used to collect those special Binions jackets, and then we said, well, you know who has Binion's jackets? Our guy Tim Duckworth in the back. He's got like fucking eight of them back there. And Brian Micah was like,

well, I need to go check him out. So mike On's playing day one d so I think you're gonna have to have to borrow one. Well, he's got a special outfit plan, okay, but you should for sure show him off to him. I mean, he's he's interested. I think he said he got rid of him where he might have lost his so I'm sure he'll be a bit jealous of your collection because it is a pretty awesome collection. So you should definitely be like, hey, check these out,

buddy. And you know, I think Micon's rich now, so maybe he like says like, hey, I'll give you a thousand bucks for that money. What really, I got yourr each one? You're too rich for one? If that point right there. If he says I'll give you a thousand bucks right now, if you don't snap selling, I'm punching you in the face. You can just go buy another one on that one has Lynn

on it, and it has Lynn, well guess what. You can buy one and get lead embroidered on the and also has ninety eight wies opposed. You can also look at that embroidered on that all for probably under two hundred dollars, so you pocket eight hundred. Yes it is. You can have a different one for a thousand. You are absolutely insane to rich? What so maybe I am too rich? It sounds like you are for sure, all right. I mean, listen, today was fun. The World Ties

of Poker main event is here and it's awesome. I think I think the sense also that I got, I think everyone is still pretty bullish overall on the number. I mean, there was people guessing it in our work chat eleven thousand. I mean, what is it. I'm still on this. You're still under yet, but not by a lot, like by you know, a little bit. You're trending in the right direction. I think if today comes in under which which it did according to your unofficial number, that

you won't tell us about it because it's super top secret. I mean, let's say it's let's say it's nine. Let's say it's nine thousand and thirty sorry, nine thousand. Nine thousand and thirty seven would be great. Nine hundred and thirty seven, which puts it at exactly one hundred less. I mean that's whatever. I mean you could do. You could easily make that up on day one D, like if Day one D is much bigger than last year, you know, so it's fine. I have no idea when

any of the satellite winners are playing. I don't know if they do that thing where they're like, okay, you guys have a playing was seated today? Really yeah? I had a lot of that commerce team playing today, so that the commerce team for sure. So after after they bagged, you know, when I was walking over here to the podcast, the Commerce team was like hanging together and you can tell they're all the Commerce team because they're

all wearing Commerce Poker Team jackets and hats. There was like forty of them, just all like you know, in a in a group, which is cool to see. You know, it's great to see a venue qualify so many people, and then they're all out here and there's that camaraderie with them, and they're in this little group and they're going to go through this adventure together. I'm guessing some of them probably busted out. Some of them, like Luke Winn, probably had very successful day ones. So that'll be a

really kind of cool thing to follow. And I mean, they're not the only group that's out here, so we'll see how things go. But I think GG Poker is qualifying like eleven hundred or something. So you know, when are those players playing? Is that a Day one D thing? Is that a Day one C thing? So what's happening there? You obviously have the people that won satellites on wisp dot com, most notably from the two twenty five seat scrambles that will be happening there. When are those players gonna

get in there and play, you get a lot of live satellites. Satellites the satellite today looked like it was pretty good. Over in the other room, you know, there was several like dozens of tables people black and in that one. So yeah, I mean things are hot right now here at the World Series of Poker, and expectedly so. So I'm looking forward to a really good number. I'm still right around like ninety five hundred overall, which I think is great, but I think the potential is certainly there to

set a new record, and I think it's really good potential. So I hope a new record is set because at the end of the day, it's pretty incredible if you think about everything that's going on in the world in terms of like, well, I mean, the US is what I know the most, but there's all the inflation talk. You know, there's talks about, you know, people aren't having as much money as they once did, all that sort of stuff. I don't know. To me, it seems

like people got plenty of money. With what I've seen the last one last week or so, people are out here blasting. So it's great to see. Poker is extremely healthy. The World Series of Poker is extremely healthy and yeah. I'm here for the ride of the main event all the way through, as are you. So let's freaking go. All right, that's going to do it for us. My name is Donny Peters, his name is Tim Ducker. Don't forget to get those reviews in. We're gonna be announcing

two winners a day. I don't know what the next prize is, we'll figure that out in the morning. It's tired. Tim's gotta go to bed. He played seventy five soccer games. Today. He defeated Max Cruz. That's how it went. So yeah, peace, so yeah. Express
