It's about time.
It's been ten years, almost ten years to the day. Remco said it on the call, three thousand something crazy days. I don't know. I didn't do that math. All right, Let's see if I can catch it, and Ivy makes a wheel. Ivy writes history app to nearly ten years, three thousand, six thirty nine days. Phil Ivy back in the winner circle at the World Series at Poker. He breaks the tie for ten bracelets
with none other than Eric Sidell, Johnny Chan, and Dora Brunson. As phil Ivy wins his first ten K championship events at the World Series of Poker, gets his eleventh bracelet, and ladies and gentlemen, the legend has done it again. Phil Ivy gets number eleven. He topps the ten thousand dollars limit Duce to seven triple Draw Championship. They needed a fourth day to finish this thing. Thankfully they did because I was able to come back, get my ass up off the ir finally out of bed. Was in bed for
five straight days. Flew from hell. Okay, but Ivy Ivy, Ivy is the QA to deathbed Donny. That's what the headline is. That's true, That is very true. Ivy is the freaking cure or IVY is the cure for anything. Okay, you got something going on, Just get some IVY in your veins. Let's go. One hundred and forty nine entries in the field. Ivy takes home three hundred and forty seven four hundred and forty dollars for the win, did it in pretty dramatic fashion over the course of
two days. The live streams both days, Part one one of the Final Table and Part two of the Final Table are available on demand on poker Go, So head on over to PokerGO dot com. You can navigate to the on demand section. You can find the twenty twenty four w Soop Bracelet Events section, and you can find Part one and Part two of this Final Table. Part one took place yesterday, started with four players, ended with three at who the heck knows what time I had already gone to bed. Part
two continue today. I was on the call alongside Rimcrinkima, and we were joined by the great Philip Sternheimer. Who did an awesome job in the booth with us. You know, he plays he plays this game Duce to seven Triple Job regularly, so he's very well versed. Provided a lot of great insight. He also plays with these players Jason Mercer who finished in third place. He plays with Phil. I ve a lot in the big mix game out of Bobby Zoom, which is actually being played now out of some Bacarat
high limit lounge at Bellagio. But they played like you know, three K, six K, four KAK, all that crazy stuff. So a lot of really good stuff from Stern Hibert. Yesterday on the call it was Jesse Silvia, Brent Hanks, and then they were joined by Chris Vich. Chris Fitch one of the best draw players and mixed game players in the world. So a lot of great insight there as well. Again pokergroa dot com if
you guys want to relive the action if you did miss it. But yeah, two parter Ivy takes it down dramatic fashion, as I mentioned because at the one hundred and sixty thousand Big Bet level, Ivy was down to one hundred and twenty k, but he spun it back up ends up getting heads up with Danny Wong. Danny Wong has been heads up in this event before, back in twenty twenty one, but once again Danny Wong is denied,
this time by the living legend phil Ivey. Again, he grabs his eleventh WSOP Gold bracelet three hundred and forty seven thousand dollars for him, Danny Wong a second for two hundred and twenty five k Jasey Mercy your third one hundred and fifty one thousand. Benny Glausser, the defending champion, also a five time goal bracelet, winn one hundred and four thousand dollars for him in four
place. Jonathan Cohen took fifth for seventy five thousand dollars, and then the man that was in the commentary both alongside Remco and I, Philip Sternhiver, took sixth place in this event for fifty five thousand dollars after Ivy secured the gold bracelet in pretty dominating fashion and heads up play. I mean he it's like he was playing good, of course throughout the entire final table, Yes, and probably the entire tournament. You know what we saw on the two
days of live streams played incredibly well. For some of the first live stream, the part one, he was kind of an autopilot because him and Jason Mercer were watching the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics play, and Ivy had a bet that he was trying to middle. He had the Mavericks minus one and a half and the Celtics plus three, so he was trying to get the Mavericks to win by two. Ended up being the Celtics winning by seven or whatever, So he lost some juice. Not a big deal. He
still has a Celtics series bet. He's looking very good there as they are up three to zero in the finals. But anyway, back to the poker, Yeah, got to heads up play and then it was like I'm just gonna step on this kid's throat, Danny Wong, Sorry, man, but you're not winning this one. And he absolutely steamrolled him. Made a wheel on the final hand. The goat makes the goat hand in this game to win it all. I means what I mean, did he not pull the
deuce? I mean, it was amazing, but that's what it was like. It was just so perfect, you know, it was like boom, like he you know, he's drawing on the end, he draws to the he gets the deuce, he makes the wheel and it's just like boom. Of course, of course, Ivy he made like seven wheels of his final title. He made like I can for sure remember four off the top of
my head. I mean, he won the one yesterday very early against Benny Glaser, I believe was against Benny Glaser, and Benny had a good hand, and it's like every time he pretty much he was up against like another good hand pretty much, so he got paid off. So so yeah, I mean, listen, you gotta run well in spots to win tournaments. I mean that's the name of the game. You know, you gotta play
well, you gotta run well. That's just how it is. After Ivy grabbed that eleventh piece of WSP jewelry, he spoke with Poker Grows Drea Rena. So let's play that quick interview for you right now, and then we'll come on back and talk some more. All right, Phil, congratulations bracelet number eleven. A lot's changed. You got your daughter now and Nellie's in the crowd. Tell me why this is so special to you. Any time I'm winning a World Series a poker event is always special. I've been playing
a world series of poker for twenty five years. Twenty five years, what I mean? So yeah, yeah, it's really nice to wait. Do you still feel excited when you come to the events? Yeah? I mean, I know I'd love to play, you know, I'd like to play as many as I can. I mean, I had to take a lot of years off, but it's good to be back playing again. Hopefully more to come, more to come. And Phil, you're looking very stylish these days. Are the bucket pets here to stay? It's bringing these lights bother
me, you know, like all these lights or whatever. So I try to like stay low and stay out of the lights because they kind of tire me down right, you know what I mean. So that's why I'm wearing the bucket. Will you look good though? All right? Thank you man. Congratulations Andrea poker out. I thought you were going to get in there, buddy, Come on, okay, I'm gonna tell you what happened. First of all, Phil, he goes, I need some gum for this interview. Drea is like, I need gum. I run and got some.
Give it to him. That's what he was mashing on in the video if any one of you get to watch it. He did Drea, he did some photos and then the whole circus of media went up there and I'm just baiting my time. Maury was going to help me, and I could tell he was just not giving the vibe. It's Ivy right, he doesn't want to talk to anyone. He wasn't really giving the many thing, pretty short answers. He started to walk away. More's like, come on, let's just go get him. Now. He was with his you know,
he's entourage, with his bodyguards. I'm pretty sure his mom was there, his wife of fiance whatever she is, some friends, and then Pokenes went up again, got some things and he was just short answers, and it come on, let's just pull him to the side. And I was like, he ain't interested. Maybe we try him on a day where he's not just we got it. We gotta get Maury to flex his muscle the questions to bring him in here. We'll sit here. It's a private area.
No one can bother Phil. Not a big deal. We can walk him through the fucking back door for all I care. He doesn't have to talk to a goddamn soul he can wear that enormously large bucket at anymore, so no one knows who the heck he is on day. If you guys didn't see that because Dre asked him about the bucket at, the bucket hat today was not even close to the bucket hat he would today for sure looked like
and it was. It was the bucket hat yesterday, the oversized bucket heead It was basically an umbrella on his head combined with the like bright blue camo style pullover that he had on. He looked like he looked like an athlete in the off season going on a fishing trip. Like that's what he's doing. He's just like he's got like he goes out to like his Montana farm, he's got you got a lake or whatever. You don't wear a bucket hat in Montana, but when its outside, you know, you wear a
cowboy hat. It's Montana whatever. I'm gonna tell you a sorry about the bucket hat. I think it was during the twenty five K we put him up on the stream one of his h his entrage came over with four different bucket hats, maybe three, but at least three, maybe four. One was black, one was gray, one was charcoal, and I think one was blue. And he kind of he's like he was standing there. I could tell he was trying to give it to Phil, and I said, is this for Phil? He goes, yeah, can you give it to
him? I said, just come in? So he comes in under them. He's like standing under the Jym. He like waves the Phil feels like yeah, and he's like just kind of gesturing. You can probably watch it on the stream, like get me the hat, and the guys like I have four colors here, which one do you want? And like he's just like, just get me one basically, and then he just the you know, his buddy guy just gives us one and we give it to Phil and
that's the That's the birth of the bucket hat. That's not the first time that something like that has happened with that. I've seen with Phil Ivey at a feature table or a final table, just not involving a bucket hat. I've seen that exact thing with headphones. For him, his utarage has shown up with multiple headphones on and he's been like, yeah, I want these ones. I'm like picked like the fucking bows ones. Or whatever. I think that was in Monte Carlo maybe, but he was like trying them on,
very weird. And then another time he did they did it with like a water, four different waters or something, and like, you know, like so it's basically like he probably texts his people and says, I want you know this, get me this, and then they go and get it. And in case it's they don't want to get the wrong thing, you know. I mean I would do the same thing. You just get a bunch of different stuff, right, and then you bring it all and you
say, hey, you pick okay, give me a gatorade okay. Instead of going back and forth what flavor this and that, blah blah blah, you just go buy six gtorides and then you come back and say what flavor you want and then he tells you and that's it. So so yeah, very very little interesting insight. There a good thing you caught that you should have brought him four pieces of gum and I can have one type of gum.
He's not getting four pieces of gum, won I mean, hey whatever, I mean last year I bought him pillows, I brought him tissues, I bought him hot water, whatever, this guy wants he seems to get around here. Yeah. Yeah, well he he wanted to play the tournament out yesterday and he didn't get that coss what no surprise that you know?
Did you hear that story? What story? He goes, Okay, so he goes to Maury like after the thing and he goes He's like holding the side of his face and he's like, Mario, tomorrow morning, I have a seven am fly at private jet to LA I got a dentist appointment and more. He's like, okay, well just make sure you back in time. And he's like, I know I have a and more. He's like, I would believe you, but you use this story before with me, So I'm sorry. I I'll see you at a I'll see you at four
pm. Yeah, he didn't have no, he didn't have no dentist. Ivey gets his eleventh gold bracelet. He had been on number ten for nearly ten years. Last gold bracelet was in twenty fourteen, so getting to number eleventh breaks the tie that he had behind Phil Hamm Youth Phil Hamm, but of course still leads in the bracelet count was seventeen. Ivy was tied with Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Eric's Idell Eric Sidell getting number ten at WSP
Paradise recently at the end of last year. So Ivy breaks that moves into sole possession of second place on the all time Bracelet list leaderboard. So he is now six behind Phil Helmuth. You are, mister Phil Helmuth over here, you are the number one fan? Is is Phil nervous? Oh? Would that would be a good interview? Phil is not nervous. We should go. We should go try and find Phil Hellmuth and ask him about Phil Ivy winning. Lovis Phil's not nervous. I'm just he's winning twenty four.
I'm just swinning eighteen. Number next. Ivy might get twelve and thirteen this series. No chance, no shot Helmuth. He's winning eighteen. Didn't he finish? Didn't he just finish in eleventh place in another tournament. Now he's got this win. I mean he's he's knocking at the door man listen twenty seventh. Helmouth is winning number eighteen June twenty seventh. It doesn't matter.
That's that's the day I'm going with. Look, Phil Helmy has more arrogance than Sean, Dave and helm With he's gonna get to twenty four Ivy maybe maybe needs to stop putting in some volume, playing some events, closing you know, all these all these tournaments he gets close in and he'll have a chance right now for helm With is not nervous. I don't know, man, I don't know. I haven't really seen much of Helmeth this year.
I know he got like forty eighth or fortieth or something in some fifteen hundred dollars tournament. I saw some video by Poker News where he was like going crazy because some lady called him with Queen ten or some something. I mean, whatever, you got out played, phil that that's just how it is. You know who didn't get out played? Phil Ivey played his ass off and one gold bracelet number eleven. Curious to see what sort of performance we
see of phil Ivey going forward. You know, of course, gonna imagine that he's going to be playing a fairly hefty schedule. You know, maybe not balls out and playing all the fifteen hundreds and all this crazy stuff, but he'll certainly be in all the high roller events. He'll be in all the big buy in ten K championship events like this one that he won a bracelet number eleven in any play a goddamn event in our studio. That's all I want. I mean maybe, I don't know. I feel like we
got to kind of buddy up with him. I don't know. We got Maury, we do have Moury, but Morey obviously hasn't been able to steal the deal with getting Ivy in the studio. You know, does Ivy push towards Player of the Year, right, I mean that that'd be very interesting. You know, we have some we have some pretty goat players that are like in contention for it. You got Johnny World, John Hennigan won his seventh goal bracelet earlier. Nick Shulman just won his fifth goal bracelets, so
he's certainly gonna be in the running. Robert Mssrocky is up there as well. You know, he got number five finally, so he's gonna be pushing for it. Now You've got Ivy. I mean, like, these are some really, really, really great players that are winning bracelets now, and they're doing so early in the series. Scott Receiver, Let's not forget about Scott Seever, cannot forget about Scott's sever my fault there, But I mean come on, this is pretty it's pretty sick that these that this caliber of
players. Now, we just need Dnax to get the goddamn Winter Circle help our twenty five K fantasy team. Although the only thing he seems to be running deep in is every six or our deep stack onto the side man these I know, I mean, it'd be great, but like you know, we needed to happen some other things about phil Ivy here, he's still he
has eleven gold bracelets. Still no bracelets in no limit texas hold them the Cadillac of poker, which is pretty crazy in terms of obviously, there are very few that it can even challenge the amount of bracelets that phil Ivy has. Right, there's only a couple of people three people two living with ten. There's one ahead with seventeen. Phil Ivy has all these different variants. You have more like info on this, like what are all the variants?
I know he has? Obviously this news to seven to one. He has two plos. He has two eight game. Yeah, I referenced his last bracelet before this one, number ten was twenty fourteen fifteen dollars eight game. He has another eight game from Australia, which is like the funniest racelet whenever, because he won fifty one thousand Aussie dollars to beat a fields a lot of that's a lot of dollar. It's just funny. It's just funny, you know. Well, he also has a no limit douce to seven single
draw. He has oe Omaha high low seven CAUs start high low Horse, he has shoe and then he has Stud high Stud high Low and that is that's that's all of them. And he I mean he almost won to hold him Nolan hold Him bracelet two years ago. Two years ago he finished second to Alex Ponokov's. At the time, you know, Ponokovs was much more up and coming than he is now. We obviously know how good of a
young player he is. When it comes to Nolan Holdham and when it comes to those super elite high rollers, you know, Ponokovs is in there with the best of them all the time. He defeated Philive denied him the eleventh gold bracelet at the time, you know, but he Ivy was close and that would have been that would have been wild to win that one because it was one hundred k buying, right, This was Phil Ivey's first ten thousand
dollars quote unquote championship bracelet win they started these championship events. I believe it was two thousand and eight, which was my first year working in the industry, working for Poker News at the time. Believe your first year was the year before, right, two thousand and seven. Yeah, yep, so his first one. His his largest buy in gold bracelet in before this one was five thousand dollars. I think that was two thousand and six, five
thousand dollars PLO. I believe it was. I mentioned last bracelet. Twenty fourteen, he surpassed ten million dollars in WSOP winnings. He also moved past forty five million, three hundred thousand dollars in lifetime earnings. According to hendonmob dot com. I mentioned that he was down to seventy five percent of a big bet on when Wednesday stormed all the way back, spun it back up, and then of course you know, he drew the wheel to beat Danny
Wong. Danny Wong finished second DA in this event. In twenty twenty one, Danny Wong was was going for his second WSP gold bracelet, but like Nick Waghini did. Earlier in the series, Danny Wong was going for his first live gold bracelet. Danny Wong is a draw legend, like he plays some of the biggest draw games, plays it live out of LA used to
play it online back in the day. All that sort of stuff. Would have been great to see him, you know, get this, but he was denied by the legendary phil Ivey And there's really no shame in that. So yeah, phil Ivey, man the freaking go what was that? Go ahead? This is his first everduced to seven Trooper draw cash. I mean, that's pretty cool. It's also he's soccer. Earlier in the series he got his first Dealer's Choice obviously that's a fairly new event, but got his
first cash ever in that. So do you think he gets another one this series? I mean, he's got a deep run in the twenty five K, he's got this win. He's in form. If you're gonna say someone's he's screwed or cooler. In the twenty five K, he doesn't like I think it was King's Ices to Kings whatever it was. But look, I have been basically off the grid, like I don't know anything other than Nick Shulman winning. That was it which Nick Shulman winning was a freaking masterful performance.
That was amazing. The takeover took the f over. That was awesome. Let's talk about the three k Nolan hold them six max tournament. I refuse to call it six handed. What are your thoughts on six handed versus six max for real six max? Like, is there is there is there a technical difference? I mean, no, the same thing I mean, And it's just like I think I know that why they changed it, Like, what is it like the last couple of years we've born just been like
eight handed or six handed. I think it's obviously the final title read Jaws at seven. Do you think that's the only reason. No, I mean, I don't know. Six sounds cool, six max six sounds cool. I agree with you. It's shorter and just easier. And everything is called six max and poker no one calls anything six handed, eight handed, nine
handed. He's just six max, four max, you know, five max, whatever the heck they play on Poker Stars these days and gig Poker and all that sort of stuff, and it just it just fits into a headline. Also, I personally would put six Max before the game. But that's just me. That's too nitpicky. I don't like that at all. Six Max whatever. Either way, six man buy in game, tied and twist. So Nick Seward wins this event. I have some experience playing with Nick
around town. I mean at the win because that's where I'll play. But very very good player, young up and coming player, always a giant pain in the ass to have at your table. So you know, it's really good to see him get this victory. He takes home five hundred and sixteen thousand dollar his first gold bracelet, right, his first one. I don't think he has an online one. Correct, not to overshadow Nick Seward, but I'm going to overshadow Nick Seward is that this was about David Coleman losing
this one. Now, David Coleman really didn't do anything wrong. I mean he he did he No, he didn't, he didn't do it do anything wrong. David Coleman, the current front runner on the PGC leaderboard, having an incredible year, former top ranked online player out of New Jersey, has now relocated to Las Vegas, has taken the PGT by storm. Don't forget Tim that I picked him as PGT breakout player of the Year, and he is proving true on my prediction. So I just want to put that out
there once again. David Coleman comes into this Chipley with come to the final table, I should say, with sixty one big blinds. This tournament was also livestream today on Poker Gross, so you can find that in the on demand archive section if you want to relive this one and the action that was happening. I was doing commentary on the Duce's said, so I didn't get to watch this one, but I am excited to go back and watch it because I was reading through some of the updates and the hands were crazy.
If you watched what Nick Shulman did the other day one he won that massive, massive hand quickly. By the way, you needed to ask him about that hand. I know we don't ask people about hands, but that hand, that hand was was a supreme outlier and Nick got up, Yeah. But like the ICM implications at that moment, those two chip sacks, with what was going on at the table at a twenty five k biggest twenty five ks, theubas should be that much money on the line, one point seven
million dollars up top was insane. You think, like you think Nick Schulman cares about ice? Did you watch it he reacted because when the money went in, Nick stood up and like shook, like like a fucking ghost went through his body, Like you could tell Nick, like and Noel Rodriguez like
he seemed to like much more calm in the situation. Nick was like, in a way, you could kind of tell that, like, and and I think you if you if you want to read into things, and I do want to read it into things, because that's what we're gonna do here. But like your interview with Nick, you know, he talked a lot about like legacy and what this means to him and all that sort of stuff.
And I feel like that sort of stuff started in this moment because if he doesn't win that flip, if that doesn't hold, none of that legacy stuff comes to play. And like in a way he might be like, I'm really gonna f and lose this, like because like it's just a fucking massive flip. It's an insane situation right now, this is unbelievable. Obviously, he wins the flip with Queens, he goes on to then just a clinic with what you should do with a chip lead, like this steamroll is
the final table. Now, to bring it back to what I was getting at is David Coleman had a huge chip lead at this six max final table. Tried to do a similar sort of thing right rightly, so, you know, just basically jamming all the time, putting his opponents at risk. But David Coleman just kept losing and losing and losing. Now he didn't always have the best hand, yes, but like when you're the big leader, you just put people at risk. That's what you do. He loses ten
to seven to Ace eight for four big blinds. He loses Ace five to Ace King for seven big blindes. He loses Pocket fives to Ace King for seven big blindes. He loses nine three suited to Ace Queen for seven point five big blinds. He loses seven to five to ten six on Ace seven to six for seven big lines. The guy rivers is six. He loses Queen nine to seven six for two big blinds. Trying to take a guy
out. He loses Ace Queen to Jack ten for twelve big blinds. Then he ultimately busts with seven to seven to King five for sixteen big blinds. I mean, I know a lot of those hands. He didn't have the quote unquote best of it going in, but still you gotta win some of that stuff. I mean, it's just outrageous how bad it went for David Coleman. And it's very juxtapositioning to how well he's been running all year. So in a way, it was like everything decided to just pile on him
in this moment, at this final table, and he's ultimately denied. I finishes in fourth place. I need add some stuff. Look, he final table with the champions, and he wasn't like chip leader or anything. He borrowed my jacket, one of my horseshoe jackets. He wore it, he took it off. Was a little heart, he said, and he busted in sixth place. Then I get an Instagram message from me this morning, Hey, can't borrow one of those jackets again. Hopefully it's not too hot.
I'm like, no problems. He gets here. I bring up five jackets excluding the y one, because look, we've got some run bad in that. Let's put that aside. I give him five jackets and he goes, oh yeah, I don't know he goes over to his girlfriend, He's like, which one should I wear? And then he just put him on the rail instide of playing, and then he busts should have put a jacket on. You got to put the jacket on, David. So this is
your fault. It's not about the card distribution. It's about you're not putting on my jacket. You you're just graping with all the poker players this year. That's that's just that's what's wrong with it. That's your thing. I mean, I don't know they come for me. I'm going to come for them. When did they come for you? I don't know their exactly all
right. So Nick Seward tops the field in the three thousand dollars Nolan hold him six Max event, winning five hundred and sixteen thousand dollars, Constantine Hulski taking second place, Akenobu Maida took third, David Coleman, as we mentioned, took fourth, Nicholas Angelou took fifth, and Stevenell took sixth. What did you write here that I didn't read? He wrote, is Donnie's love affair for Coleman? Over? After he blew it? No, I don't
fucking David Coleman's the best. What are you talking? All right? Just what I just had to David Coleman is the best. Sometimes shit happens and you just don't run good. I mean it sucks because he he's this is the year of David Coleman, and he deserves to have this bracelet. I ain't going to be the much longer if you don't put on that jackets. He's he's still crushing it. So he's doing all right, what are you?
Yeah? Great? That's yeah, that's Richard Ashby Shofti Chufftee wins his second gold bracelet and one hundred and thirteen thousand, seven and twenty five dollars was in the fifteen hundred dollars seven card Stud event. He won the fifteen hundred dollars seven card Stud event in twenty ten for one hundred and forty thousand dollars, So he gets his second goal bracelet second in this game. We drafted him once on Fantasy really yeah, and I don't think he did.
What do you mean? He's in and this was back in like his like full blast pace, yeah peak, full till days in every tournament, playing every single hand like an absolute maniac just like running up in Saint Chip stacks but then busting like soon after registration, like you know, just the crazy stuff. But that's the type of guy I want on my team, you know, for for cheat money. So so yeah, Ashby defeated Adam Owen
in heads up play. Michael Nori took third place, men Key Chen took fourth, Brandon Shack Harris could to see him back at a final table took fifth, Jason Cross took sixth, Aaron Coopen took seventh. Thing he was drafted as well. Hal Rowthols also drafted twenty five K took eighth in that event. Fifteen hundred dollars Nolanman Hold Him Freeze Out? Was this yesterday?
This is yes, yeah, yeah, because we didn't. You didn't pod because you were playing, which is a good good reason not to because you're back chips. Evan Benton winning the fifteen hundred dollars Nolan at Hold Him Freeze Out. This was streamed from the Horseshoe secondary table, another one that you
can find on Poker gro on the PokerGO YouTube channel as well. Benton took home four hundred and twelve four hundred and eighty four dollars He topped the field of two thousand, three hundred and seventeen entries, so pretty good field size there. Looks like a really good tournament. Michael Pahusa taking fifth place, Nick Memon seventh place, Blake Bone fourteenth, Evany Kenny took sixteenth place in that one. We have the six hundred dollars Nolan mat hold them slash PLO
Half and Half tournament. Still wish they had the five K one for this? Did you okay? So look you've been in your death bet right, Yeah? I literally know nothing. So yeah. So the other day on it could have been today's part. No, it was yesterday's Daniel Grinder vlog. He was talking about the half and half and he's like, oh, this would be great as a big buying event, and I said him a
text message. I was like, oh, they had it last year five K first week, five hundred sixty sixty eight entrance five hundred k to Michael Munchik. And they also had a fifteen hundred half and a half with two thousand entrants won by David Simon for four hundred K that was streamed on poker Go. So they've had some big ones. The Grinder also says a twenty five k would be epic, ten K would be epic. Bring the five
K back added twenty five or ten whatever. I think. I think half Enough is a great and very popular event that I mean, it's it's the two most popular formats of poker. Yeah, Like, no matter how you slice it, and you're putting them together in one thing, you're getting the best of both worlds. I think it's awesome, right. You know, the PLO guys can all play hold them that they may not to play hold them, you know, it may not be their best variant, but they
can get in there and dabble. I think a lot of the no limic guys in a way, it's kind of a gateway to start playing more PLO. You know, you're not just getting in there with straight poo all the time. You get half, you get half. Like it's just a very good tournament. So I agree with Daniel. I think they should have more of these on the schedule. You know, I like having a low price
point like this. You know, it helps introduce people to a different format of poker if they're more no limit, you know, instead of just beying like okay, I'm just gonna go play the six hundred dollars PLO. I'll play the half and half first. I'll dip my toes in the water that way. Love having like a fifteen hundred love having a five K. You could probably just have that five k be a ten K or twenty five K like Daniel seven and a half championship. Yeah, yeah, I mean you
could make it. You should. They should have a twenty five K half and half six max. I'm off and half six max. These guys don't want to play eight handed nine handed, No six max twenty five k. I'm going to disagree with you. A hand seven handed like the PGT events,
the sure PA seven hand is the best because it's PGT. But here's the problem when you have when you mix these two games, you're going to obviously lose some no limit hold them only plays, and you're also going to lose some plow only players when you what you are attracting is the ones that want to dabble. Like you said, when you make a six handed you actually, if you're a weaker player, like a week of PLO player, you're going to kind of be picked on more than no limit hold them.
So I think they would actually pay in twenty five K. I don't think they care. Okay, twenty five k' is a different price point to a ten k's just yeah, but like you're still definitely going to lose some people. So ten k eight handed having a full max half and half full max, well, that would just would be a crack, right, that would be out of control. That would be you know, with rebut gasoline on
the flat, that would be awesome. I mean, but yeah, they should they should have a You can probably fit comfortably three half and a half on the schedule, you know, if you want to do that, that's six hundred one the sub the sub one K level, the fifteen hundred dollars one and then you know, if you're only doing three, I mean pick your poison five K, ten K, twenty five k, whatever, but you could probably do six hundred and fifteen five K, and then you can
pick between ten and twenty five and do whatever you want there. At this point in poker, I think you can certainly have more exposure to potlam and Omaha on your schedule. I mean that that's that's just the hottest game right now. People absolutely love it, so I know they have a lot of potlam and omaha, but this is another way to introduce that. And you know, hey, it's more rake for them, and more rake is better,
so why not? Right, all right, So back to the event, the six hundred dollars half and half nolanman HoldEm slash Plo Alan Bakovic,
the Canadian winning two hundred and seven thousand dollars. Notable finishes were had by Joey Coudin seventh place, Alex Livingston fifty fifth, Nikkwa Ghenty another cash for him, you know you won a second gold bracelet earlier this summer, niicquag Ghenty taking sixty third, Matt Glance eighty first, Sean Troja, who actually won his third gold bracelet a couple of days ago he took eighty third, and Daniel Legranu getting in there, and another six hundred dollars Deep Stack one
hundred and seventh place for Negronu losing Flush over Flush to bust out In. I think it was hold him. He had like jack six diamonds against whatever, the heck the better flush. But yeah, so mcgrowney's you know, he's he's making some runs. It seems like he's putting a lot of stuff together. He's he's trying to make it happen. It's just not breaking his
way. I'm still a believer this, uh this tournament today. That IVY one was event twenty nine, and I'm referencing that one just because that's the one up on my screen right now, so I can see the event number. So about the third of the way a little over the third of the way through the World Series ninety nine Live Gold Bracelet events, So in terms of like bracelet events that have happened right around with third or done, so
there's still plenty of time for Daniel to score stig bucks. Like I said, he's had a lot of deep runs, several deep runs, some cashes so far, so he's getting there. You know, things just got to break his way in the end. But I still think, I don't know. I feel like this year's schedule on you and I talked a little bit about it on one of our recent walks, is a little bit different than last year's. Like I don't know, last years, I felt like there
was more big buy and stuff at the beginning. I just get that sense, or maybe it was they had the big twenty five K six Marx just to kick it off. Yeah, and that was a little bit later five K, like the second big event. Just see, it just seems like things are building a little bit slower this year, which just means we're gonna get to more big stuff coming up, which is fine, you know.
So it's it's like, don't freak out just yet. That's kind of what I'm trying to think about when it comes to twenty five K fantasy, because our team is absolutely doing nothing so far. But you know, a lot of really cool stuff on the horizon and we'll see how things go. But congratulations to Alan Bakovich for winning the six hundred dollars half and half Nolan hold Them Slash p L the twenty five hundred dollars Nolan and Holdham freeze out.
That is of ven number thirty four on the twenty twenty four WSB schedule. They are down to eighteen players. It looks like Antonio Galliana is leading the way. Romaine Lewis and Patrick Leonard aka Pads are tied for second. You got Yoha Helpy out there. You got bracelet winner Brett Apter out here. You got Johann Gilbert is out there, Jeremy Osmas is still in the field. Josh Reicher is also out there. Oh and O d is also out there. I mean, this field is pretty pretty sick, pretty pretty sick.
Plan here is to play down to what seven handed because it's going to be streamed tomorrow, or at least get as close to seven handed as possible, and then deal with the rest of it tomorrow. But this one is planning to be streamed on Friday, June fourteenth on poker Go. So for all the Poker Gross subscribers out there, we got a good one coming for you here. This one should be very fun. Almost four hundred and forty thousand dollars up top. The final eighteen players with some of whom I just
mentioned, are guaranteed a little bit more than fifteen thousand dollars. Again, this was a twenty five hundred dollars buying Nolman Holdam freeze out tournament. It had twelve hundred and sixty seven entries. Six tables remain in the fifteen hundred dollars Horse Tournament. That is the tournament that Tim bagged up chips. Bag Big. You did not bag that big, correct bagged chips. That's kind of all that matters, survive in advance and then go from there. But
you bombed out on day two. Couldn't make it happen. You had your grim reaper Sean deep sweat your final hand with you and it didn't work out so well. He definitely what happened, Well, I don't want to tell any bad best stories, but we're gonna well, I had six stud bringings in one orbit and that's a I'm pretty sure though she dealt ten hands, but whatever, I'm not going to complain about moving anyway. On my last hand, I was I had to bring in with a five. I's completed
another call. I had five five four deuce and we just put my two bests in. I made Jackson five's on six. My opponent made fives and threes on six, but he also had an ace and a king. So I called Sean diebo if. I was like, Sean, do you want to sweat this? He walks over. The guy reveals his card versus three, so he now has threes full of fives. I only have a jack. I go, Sean, do you want to sweat the river? He goes sure. I throw the card to Sean. He starts squeezing. He
goes, oh, it's paint. So I only I have a jack. I need a jack of diamonds or a jack of clubs. I believe. He starts squeezing, go, oh it's paint. I go, okay, what what suit. He's like, oh, it's diamond some I'm thirty percent to win, and then he slams down the ten of hearts. I mean so it was always slower. Yeah, you know what, I didn't think always did. I think he was doing it. But look, you got me good. I asked him, a wee even now for everything that's happened.
He goes, no, get the hell away from me. You're dead to me, and that is it. Yeah, it was fine. It was It was it's hard playing poker for a whole day. It is hard. Like I said when I was bagging up, actually had a pretty fun table to end. It was Daniel Strelitz, it was Todd Brunson, it was grapes. Uh, you know, we're having a little bit of fun. And I just thought, I was like, how do you guys do this? Like eleven hours bag some chips I made. I end up bagging
like literally half a bit of a starting stack. I'm like this is like brutal. Well, the fifteen hundred dollars mixed tournaments seem like the absolute worst tournaments in the universe to pol just because you don't get in the money on day one. Yeah, it's a freaking grind like they just doesn't. It doesn't draw me in from an excitement level. Now I get it. Everyone's got their own cup of tea. So there are plenty of people that love
those tournaments. It's just not for me personally. You know. If I'm going to play a buy in that is let's say sub three K, I'm full, fully happy, and I fully want to finish in the money on day one. That's what I want to happen. I don't want to have to wait multiple days. Shout out napt Resorts World when that was like the most insane sixteen hundred dollars buying or whatever the heck it was structure in the history of mankind. It was like the slowest thing playing double levels, and
I'm like, what do we do it? Like, can't we just speed this up? But yeah, like you finished what one hundred and eighty thirty approximately something like that. There was there was what two and twenty five that came back and one hundred and what one hundred and twenty six make the money.
So it's like you're not even really close to the money. I mean, I know there's a lot of short stacks and things are gonna move fairly quickly, but like it's not even like you're coming back and you're like, Okay, we're gonna be in the money in like twenty minutes type of thing. No, it's just you got a grind for a little It's like it's just exactly, it's kind of just weird, Like I just I don't know. I think those tournaments are just finishing the money on day one and and
go from that. I think it's hard when it's when it's mixed though, Like you know that means you probably have to fight on day one. The heck with this nonsense, we don't need these Alan Kessler structures. Alan Kesler can figure it out, okay. I mean what, it's just either way and if you're if you're the operator, if you're a WSP, then you're you're churning and burning. You're getting more butts and seats in and out. Let's go back to the buyouts. Let's go back to the cage and buy
in and buy out. Let's you know, let's make it happen. We got money to make, we got bracelets to award. Let's go, let's do, let's do, let's go. I did find it weird, and I brought this up, I think with already baby, I thought there was a rebuy. I'm not saying I was rebuying. I got really short at the start and I had to just forty minute levels on day one with a re entry. Let's go the day are forty minute levels the whole day one? Yeah, well, what's taken so long? Thirty minute levels? Limit
limit mixed games. But something I was surprised there was no I was surprised there was no rebuys. There's sixty you lose what sixty percent of the field, seventy percent of the field on day one? Right, you could add a rebuy. You could for sure have those, yeah said in these ones. There's no rebuy with games with big bet, like a game there's a single rebay. So I didn't know that, so, but yeah, I would have. I feel like you could add that little twist why not?
Why not? So it looks like there's forty players remaining, give or take Daniel Mayo looks to be leading the way. That's your boy, South the ARA Australia boy. Okay, I guess so didn't he just win a bracelet? I've never heard of that guy. Oh no, he was the Sorry, he was the chip leader coming into today. That's where I read the headline. My fault is my fault. He was the chip leader of the
horse coming into today. He is the chip leader right now. According to the updates by POGRAM News on wsp dot com, Andrew Gay looks like he's doing well. Miami. John Cernudo is out there battling Phil Hue. Who else we got? Daniel Strelitz you mentioned him, looks like he's still in there. I don't know, because he was fifty sixth place. I know that for a fact. Calvin Anderson, we saw him out there. I think Euryzebelevsky, the defending champion, is still in so we'll see if your's
Euryzeblisky can go back to back. Would be quite defeat to go back to back. I know it's a you know, smaller buying tournament fifteen hundred dollars, but the fifteen dollar horse is always one of the bigger mixed game fields of the summer. You know, it's eight hundred and thirty five entries this year. You know, it's always right up there. It's like the fifte eight, then the fifte hundred horse, you know, like the one two.
So really a really you know, prestigious tournament to win there, and we'll see if you'rey can get it done for a second year in a row. Starting today, we had an eight hundred dollars Nolanman hold Them Deep Stack tournament. Almost forty three hundred entries, three hundred and forty two thousand, five hundred and fifty one dollars for first place in that one. It's supposed to be a two day event finishing tomorrow. Don't foresee that happening, but
I've also seen crazier things happen, so we'll see. This one was originally planned to be streamed by poker Go, but we're currently putting it into the flexible category. You know, it might be might be moving it around. Maybe we'll do it on Saturday, not on Friday. But you guys can pay attention to poker Go on social media and we'll let you know what our
plans. We are definitely again streaming the twenty five hundred dollars Nolman, hold them freeze out tomorrow so there will be something streaming, and then pay attention to to what happens with this deep stack. Maybe we end up canning it completely for something else, and maybe we move it, but you know that'll be coming. Looks like Martin Zemani is chip leader or one of the chip leaders. Greg Ramer former wis he made him a champion. Greg Ramer is
crushing. That would be pretty cool to see good old fossil Man making a run in this tournament, especially with four and seventy eight entries out there? Are there not even the money? No, they've got to be close. I mean, what's what? No way, I was reading your thing, but that's obviously jug a little bit out dating seventh in Chips, Adam Hendricks, eighth in Chips, Chris Brewer play in the eight hundred deep stack eleven. I mean, what's going on? This? Name Bryan Reese, So
why are these twenty five K fantasy we're playing this? A lot of these guys just just blast into these and then if you run up a stack, you go from there. So you know, I totally get it. Alan conningham Brock, Wilson, Christian Harder. I mean these players might also be out. It's kind of tricky with the field size this large. But yeah, we'll obviously see how things go, and we'll follow up with this one as it plays out. The ten thousand dollars Big Oh Championship. Is this
a new event or did it happen last year? Roughly three hundred entries so far. Retation is two hundred, but that's not right. We were over there. It's a two eighty. I thought, didn't it didn't how many entries in this one. Championship events should be none, right, I think championship events another re entrance, which is silly when it's like a big, big bet game, But yeah, I feel like it. It'd be fine
to have single rancher, I think is good. You know, yeah, this is not no re entry on this Okay, that's whatever, you know. I don't I don't totally mind that, so so it's just whatever. I'm just I mean, I just I don't care either way. But bottom line, you're gonna make more money, yeah, you know, gives bigger numbers all that sort of stuff. So whatever, who we got in the field free Jatton leading the way, Ren Lynn second and Chips. It's always
Ren Lynn. Don't understand. Michael Rodrigue is making some noise for us. Come on, mikey baby, do it for me. He was rocking the full on uh Portugal, the like warm up, head to toe. He's ready for the Euros. He's ready to go. When does that stop? Like soon? Like a sap. I see David Williams, I see Matt Lance, I see IAOI Kiara, I see Mike Madisow, I see Freddie Dee, Ken Aldridge aka teach uh, Nathan Gamble, Bryce, Jacky, Sean Winter also in there for us, Rob Holland China, Rene phil Ivey
fresh off number eleven, hopping right in there. I mean, how else is the goat can celebrate. He's gonna go play some freaking big o man, that's what That's what he's gonna do. David David O dB Baker is out there, Dario Alioto, we have three. I've got undressed, con I have no idea. Where's Daniel Probably? Yeah, no, he said he said he was gonna play the eight hundred. I mean he's the king
of the eight hundreds and the six hundreds. So I mean, you know, oh, he's gonna no he I think he was thinking about taking a day off because tomorrow is the fifty k. Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Perfect. I'm in for that big deal. That was. I don't need this this stupid big o tournament. Todd Brunson can win it. Okay, that's what can happen. So yeah, that that one will be a lot of fun. We're not streaming this one, right, are we streaming this one? The big guy? Yeah? We are? Yeah.
Oh sweet. I mean that's a good tournament. You know, it's got a pretty big field, should obviously have a lot of prize money up for grabs with it being a ten thousand dollars buying So I just riffed through, you know, a whole bunch of big names. You know. I'm assuming things will continue that way as as we go forward. Registration. It's one of those day two registration events, so you know there's gonna be a
handful of people that come in late. I didn't see our guy Stephen Chidwick in the mix, but he's been doing some of the day two late reds for these ten K championship events, so I would think that Steven Schidwick would be in there tomorrow. So if that's true, good sign for us, if we can get some of these guys bagging chips, bagging big chips and making a run and starting comeback in twenty five K Fantasy Let go alright? Is that it? Nothing else kicked off today? Yeah? Nothing else,
just those two events. Yeah, we got we got some big events coming up this week. Yeah, what what's on tap? You mentioned the fifty K high roll up. We've got the fifteen hundred dollars RAS, the mixed game Guys and Monster And speaking of months, speaking of months of the real one of the fifteen hundred dollars Monster Stack starts on Friday. Yeah, that's always such a getting in. That's no, that's always such a I mean, I wasn't playing on playing it. I'm definitely not playing it given my
current health state that I was just in for a week. Death beed. Donnie. Really need to figure out my life and where my head's at, because I feel like everything's spinning a million miles an hour. How many entries did the Monster Stack have the last year. I think it had like eight thousand or something, freaking I'll say eighty three hundred and fifty four, but I have no idea eight three one seven Is that real? Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. I was like dead on, yeah, you're
the best. Yeah. So this one's gonna have what another seventy five hundred nine K, give or take, it depends what happens. I'm looking forward to that one. Always a massive tournament, really really good player friendly structure in that one will be a fun one. We are planning to live stream in the final table that one happens in like, you know, three weeks time. But that's what it is, what it is, you know,
the Monster Stack is really like that. I know, it's I know there's another tournament called the Mini Main Event that happens right for the main event, but this is like the mini main Event, right, This is like the you know, if you got if you don't have ten K, but you want to save up and splurge a little bit, and you want something that that offers a lot of bang for your buck. You know, the fifty Monster Stack is perfect for everyone, you know, So this one will be
a really really big one. It's one of the most fun tournaments every single year that happens with the world series of poker. So once again, very much looking forward to seeing how the Monster stack plays out develops, and we'll be tracking it's the entire way. What else we got? Fifty k? High Roller mentioned that already. Yeah, that's the first fifty k, right, Yes, how many did that one have last year? Which one? I think it was two fifty case? Well, this one says it was
won by Leon Stern for one point five. It was one also won by Alex Koulev that had one hundred and seventy six entrance that was very late in the series. The one that Stern won was very early in the series one hundred and twenty four, so pretty significant difference in I'll say, didn't so the twenty five k that Nick Shulman won was the largest twenty five k evert wow at the World Series apartment. Yeah, okay, well how many did
it get? I just heard them say that it was the largest one forty nine or it has to be more math, it has to be over two hundred No, no, yeah, that was sorry. The one forty nine was the ten K seven. Yeah, twenty five k got way bigger. It had a three hundred and eighteen players, three hundred and eighty players. Good lord, God, this fifty k is gonna have, it's gonna have two hundred and twenty seven players. I'll take under. No, settle a
different line. No, you have to say shut the line. He'll get to set the line of like two twenty three if I line I took under, So I literally have to hit my ceiling and you have to everything under. That doesn't make any sense as the time you said a new line, then I said a nelne two twenty onders. Okay, over, keep going bad. I'll keep taking on that. I'll light hedge my bet. Yeah whatever, you're on, bullish on everything. Yeah, but okay, one
twenty four last year and then one seventy six. Do you think we're going from one twenty four to two twenty. I mean, I don't give a shit whatever. These people are fucking crazy. I just it's twenty bad line. I said a bad line. Whatever said a bad line. I think you just said a very ambitious line. Oh yeah, but that means it's bad. No, not necessarily what that means. It's ambitious whatever. Think that the vitamin sees getting me? You ahead the medicine haven't had any vitamins.
See but it probably should. That's why you DEATHBT doney. I'll I'll say it gets over two hundred. I think you could get over two hundred. But I mean that's not that far off from what I said. The way you were talking, you were like one fifty. So look, if you set the line at like one seventy five, I still may lean on this. I just think that's a lot. I don't know if it didn't one of them get over one s anybody one twenty four and then one seventy
six at the end of the series, like during the main event. During the main event, when people eighteen entries, if you just cut that in half, it's one sixty. It's it's not just cutting it in half because you got the three entries. You can't just do simple fifty to fifty math on this. I'm just saying, if you cut it in half and then you add what I think, there's gonna be a host I'm wrong two undred. Let's go. I want to be wrong. I just all right,
baby, we'll be wrong, because I'm never all right. That's all we got. Don't have anything. I'se talk about, right, No, good to have you back. It's good, so much better than happy to be back. I love being here at the World Series of Poker. I didn't know how it was gonna go for me today, having like literally Friday. I woke up Friday, did did a stream Thursday with Remco's It's probably Remco's fault that I got to I mean, that was the only thing that changed.
Everything was fine, did the stream on Thursday, and then wake up on Friday, and I'm like fucking debt, Like literally debt. Didn't leave my bed. I dropped the kids off at school on Friday, and then I got back into bed and I did not leave my bed till Tuesday. When sorry, I left my bed later on Friday to go to the doctor. They gave me two shots. One was like an oral like squirt thing in my mouth. The second one was a shot in my ass. Okay, what yeah? So I had these two things? What was the shut
on you up? I don't know start with an R and the other one was started with a D, so I don't know steroids. So that happens. That was an urgent care because I couldn't get into my primary on short notice like that, So like a doctor that just you know, drives to your house you're pretty rich. No primary like your primary physician, like your primary care physician. They're like, yeah, they should clear up, you know, and whatever you have like some sort of bacterial infection or the flu
or whatever. You don't have COVID blah blah blah, Okay, fine and not like I've been like sick, sick for like a day, but like it with me, it usually clears up twenty four to forty eight hours like always, and I'm fine, Like even when I had COVID the one the time I had COVID, like I mean, it was like it was really really bad for like three days, but it was fine after that, you know. I mean I was still a little bit sick, but you know,
functional this one was like just every day like got worse. The only thing that cleared up after those first shots was my sore throat. But I had I had no energy, like to the point where my body just hurt, like it was just sore and achy, and I couldn't move, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't do anything. I didn't want to watch TV. I just saw is literally just laid in bed, didn't really eat anything because like I just didn't have an appetite. Like, the whole thing just sucked.
So I was in bed till Tuesday. Finally, when got in with my primary on Tuesday, went there. He put me on like six fucking different medications that I have. Now he's like, listen, we're just gonnattack this from all angles. I'm like, all right, let's go, let's give it something. So I have like six different things that I'm taking. One of them like the insurance like won't even give me. So I'm like supposed to be taking an extra thing but I'm not. But whatever, and
pay for it I have. I have no idea. I mean, it isn't insurance supposed to pay for that. The whole point of him because something is on co well, I don't care giving me no, but they were like, it's an insurance thing. We got to call your doctor again. I don't know, it's just the whole thing. So I was like, whatever, I have all these other pills. I'm sure I'll be fine.
And I was literally just in bed till Wednesday, like night, and then finally I like got out of bed on Wednesday last night, made it down to the couch, watched the Celtics game, watch some of the stream with with Ivy and Mercier and Minny Glauser and Danny Wong and then you know, went to bed again and and finally last night, I like had like a
decent night's sleep, but it wasn't the greatest. But if you feel a lot better today, I think most like the symptoms and what not have subsided, you know, just kind of kind of get my energy back and build back up. But I will say that you walk back into the damn WSP and it's like boom, adrenaline, let's f and go like it's WSP time. So feeling great. Obviously watching the freaking goat Ivy winning number eleven just get you jazzed up. So I'm ready, I'm back. I think it's
great, let's go. Your excitement is just not there at all. You left me high and dry for like four days. But yeah, I'm sorry. Long hours here by myself doing all the work for everyone. Anyone knows me and you obviously know me, like it kills me to have to miss the WSP, Like I would show up like half sick. I literally could. I felt like I know, and like you know, that's also part of it is that you don't you don't want to come, like I don't
want to come. We're working in close quarters. You're already around a million fucking people, which God knows what sicknesses and whatever in germs and blah blah blah. Like you know, it's you have to just like you have to dodge getting sick in general. I usually get sick every summer, and it usually happens right before the WSP main event. That's like when like my immune system just says, as you know, what's good enough. Yeah, you
haven't slept a lot all summer. I'm over it. You're out for two days, okay, but you still show up because you're kind of like fine. I mean this, I was literally dead, and you also again you don't want to come in and like get everyone else sick and the whole thing, so you just stay home. But like I couldn't even stay home and work, Like I couldn't open my laptop, I couldn't look at my phone,
like I just couldn't. I didn't have contact with anyone, like it was just it was so bad, and you were literally out on all the group chats. Yeah, I just wasn't responding to anyone, no, because I couldn't like I couldn't even like read it. Everything hurt like I was like, I'm I can't like whatever. Like it was. It was so bad. It was so so bad. But we're back now. So yeah, a little bit of an early night tonight. It's almost eleven o'clock here,
