This is not too loud. Welcome to day 2D of the World Series of Poker main event. Welcome back to the horseshoe. Still lots of action inside Paris as well. Thousands of dreams still alive on the Las Vegas strip. vying for the first prize somewhere in the $10 million range. My name is Reminka. Donnie Peters alongside me in the booth. Poker expert and braceer Tristan Wade in the booth as well for some expert analysis. And we have Jeff Platt out on the floor to find the best stories from the greatest poker tournament in the world. As we look at our secondary feature table, two tables in play all day long. A few names we recognize. Vital Linen, Lucan Vibes 2009, 40k. Epic stuff. Martin Zadena there as well has made plenty of runs in the main. A guy who knows how to battle through big fields. And then the main feature starting off with Bartool Mincy, the man, the myth, the legend, the destroyer, uh along with Ralph Massie, and we have Daniel Nielson here as well. So, should be a good little bit of feature table action. As you know, we try to circulate these tables and show you a little bit of everything and we will make sure to try and capture the beauty of the main event by showing off some of these storylines of players that you might not know right now, but they might become household names by the end of the day. Donnie, it’s a massive field. We have thousands of dreams still alive, but somehow it feels a little bit as though we’re we’re lacking a little bit of star power that you would usually assume to have still on day 2D. Well, they all played the earlier day ones. Yes. Right. So, here it’s more about the dreamers, you know, the the biggest returning field from day two. You know, star power was yesterday and on the other day ones, but here, you know, I think the chips are going to be flying. I think that’s the focus. Yeah, we’re looking for those big stacks. We’re looking for those people to run it up. Someone like the Blesnick killer, our French friend who already had a really hot start today. We’ll check in on him, I’m sure. Fight, but Donnie Mincy playing his 10th main event, has made deep runs in the past. Someone who’s also been on the feature table before, squaring off against none other than Phil Ivy. to me. Yes, they’re very primed for a run. Yeah. I mean, listen, I I want Mincy to play like his personality. I feel like he’s a little bit subdued actually on the felt. I want him to be loud. I want him to be in your face, right? Basically, like when he’s talking to you sometimes and maybe a little bit of spit particles fly out and hit you in the face. I want his play to be like that. Okay, so let’s go, Mincy. Bring it. That’s what the stoolies want to see, right? Come on. They do. They want to see a massive stack in front of Mintz. Ralph Massie, by the way, long time regular at the World Series of Poker. Daniel Nielson in the two seat has had a wide range of looks, but I’m glad he’s back to the full beard. A little bit of the cast of castaway vibes by the New Zealander. He used to work for Bartow, but he he doesn’t have a job right now. Just like watches his own. He posted on Twitter, “I’ve won five straight home games sitting always.” And Big Cat’s like, “We’re going to put you in the bank.” He never never been to Vegas. Never. He busted day two. He made day two. Got fired from Barcel, but he’s they still love him, I guess. So, yeah. I So, they sent him out here and he’s he made He made day two of starting tag. He had a You know, I think he ran into the Tristan Wade. What’s up? What’s up? You’re deep in the notes. I’m quiet right now. I’m quiet. I’m just getting situated. I know Ralph Massie. He’s one of the funniest characters on the circuit. And we’ll see what kind of personality he shows tonight. Really good guy. Hilarious guy, by the way. Can’t put him in. It’s It’s a shame that Oh, yeah. 90% of your Ralph Massie stories are not fit for hair. I cannot talk about that. No, this is% Okay, that’s for the the adult only version, which we are going to bring to only fans at another time. Meanwhile, Mintz raising pre flop with ace king. Nelson flopping trips, making quads on the river, trying to induce a little bit here, but Mince not falling for it. Feel like having Mintz and Massie next to each other will will bring some good conversation. And Mince with a pure bluff catcher here. I have here. And he probably probably thinks I got to pay off on the double board fair. Not even the double board pair. I think Mince might think that’s a nine out there instead of 38. Totally face up. Well done. Nice bit of discipline. And is not even showing. He’s not even not even going to go through it. Showing off the quads. By the way, welcome everyone in the chat. It’s going to be a long day. The reason we started later is because we’re doing eight hours of main event coverage, taking no breaks at all. We got pea bottles ready. We’re going to eat snacks in the booth here. It’s going to be an enormous mess, but we will have some fun with it. As this speaking of a mess, what the heck is going on here, Donnie? We got Ryan Garcia with Randall EMTT. Who allowed this? Well, I’ll tell you that it’s already better than Phil Hers, by the Yes. Phil, take notes, please. Randall Emtt, love him or hate him, he’s definitely doing this better. Little bit of Hollywood flare. We got We got the belt. This is This is like as Vegas as it is. This is what you do. Randall Emmon wanted to come as a boxer. So, you know what? He went and got a world class boxer. That’s what he did. You want to be a rockstar helmet, get some rock stars. Where are the 20 ring girls parading behind? I guess there’s no 17 bracelets here, so we don’t see that. But see, that’s the thing. Helen brings the 17 women to represent the bracelets. Brand Lema doesn’t need that. You know, he’s got he’s got the flare and the look going for him. What an absolute what an absolute disaster this is in a in a good kind of way. I love it when people don’t take themselves too seriously. Now, if Garcia just knocks out Randle right now, that would make this perfect. He’s got a mean left, so watch out. Oh my god. cheer up here. I mean, the energy surrounding that compared to the helm entrance. This should have got a little more love. Oh my god. Okay, this was this was shorter, faster, better, stronger than the helmet entrance. My only question is how is he going to shuffle chips with those gloves on? Yeah. How do you peel your hand with those on? You might need your trainer to to pick up your cards for you. I mean, this is this is some day five energy right here. How do you feel, man? This is tremendous. Let’s go. World champion. It’s mine. You ready? Come on. Give it to me. Let’s go. Give it to me. Give it to me all around. All right. I’m all for engaging your table like this. This is really good. Oh, seat seat three is about to really knock him out. Let’s go. Right here. Right here. Right here. Okay. Wizard in the hand. Where’s my guy? Where’s my opponent? Remco, I know what you got to do. Better or worse than Helm. Just pull. Pull it up. Let’s go, chat. You got it. One. One. If If you like Helm’s entrance better, two if you like Ryan Garcia and Randall Emtt there. At the Eiffel Tower. What? At the Eiffel Tower. I thought it would be. Yeah. What’s up, chat? We see you guys in there. La W. No LA there. Okay. Actually, that was restaurant at the train station. That’s really iconic. I will admit that. But that’s short and sweet. It was less of a distraction than normally what helmet does where he plays his music, he parades around, he pauses the whole action sometimes. That’s the thing too, Sean even tweeted like they they held the action. There was lots of loud music over the speakers. He was distracted in the middle of a massive spot. Ran limit at least did a show. Got it over with like 90 seconds and and we’re back to playing. I’ve been to Barcelona but never played poker there. Sounds awesome. When are you going? August 13th, I fly from Fort Lauderdale to Dublin. I think they um get into Dublin the morning of the 14th when you’re in Barcelona. I think they have their new stadium for the for the football team. Yeah. So that’s right around that time. Oh, cool. You definitely check a game out. Yeah, it’d be worth it. W chat. W chat. We see you guys. We’re just getting going here. The early votes have it 6040 in Em’s favor. That’s a really good time though. I went there a lot. Look, Emtt definitely had more star power with Ryan Garcia compared to who did bring he had Jungle Man playing the banjo and his son playing whatever. Well, Helm’s biggest mistake was he was trying to be a rockar and he brought two acoustic guitars. Yeah, they should they should have at least been electric. Yeah, I want to get that. and uh electric. It wasn’t his uh his intro. Has Chris Angel given that bracelet back by the way? Irish poker. He’s gone. He left. No one knows where he went. I guess we’ll find out on the final table day, huh? I’m a quarter. Yeah, maybe he maybe they’re going to do something where he just pops up in a cloud of smoke at the main event. And Ryan Garcia has already got a 5k trip in front of him. Is he going for a knockout in round number one? If poker was like a boxing match, this could definitely be considered round two. You know, they were on day two, round two. True, but he just did he play day one? Oh, good question. Or did he just register? I mean, he does have more chips than starting stack. Starting stack was 60k and we see him well over 100k in front of him. So, he must have already been in action prior. His opponent not as many chips. Only 45ish around 40 there. But he’s right into the smoke. Yeah, Garcia on the button in a big pot here. About 22,000 in the middle. We got four spades out there. Yeah, it looks like that. Check two. Ryan looks a little uncomfortable here. Oh, there’s three ways. We got this other guy in the pot, too. Hey, but maybe that uncomfortability was excitement. No, it wasn’t. Let’s see who’s got what. Seeing a spade over there in the nine seat and is that No. Okay. Yeah. So, the one seat’s going to take or sorry, the n is going to take this one. Ryan Garcia taking a little hit, but he’s sitting real comfortable there. Up over 100,000 chips. Garcia 566th in 2023 in this tournament. It’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. Yeah. Checking on our secondary table. Donnie, give us a lowdown on the empty chair. Where’s the empty chair? Sorry. Well, it’s this five seat, I think. Lanin. No, the Ronnie Barta. Oh, Ronnie Barta. Sorry. Sorry. He was he was supposed to be there. Yeah, he he he lost. I mean, he lost to Zang, the woman there next to Martin Zadoya, who plays in the studio quite a bit. Um, also has played on Hustler Casino Live. Uh, Ronnie got it all in with top pair on King 43, two hearts. He had king queen. She just had the ace king. Okay, so that’s that three bet pot. Well, speaking of three bet pots, Zang 2500, Linster 7K, and Oku now in the big blinds with pocket jacks. Tristan, this scenario is probably a common one in the main event where stacks are still fairly deep. You find a hand like this with a three bet in front of you. Hey, you have 40 bigs and the positions are late, right? We got Hijjack. Um, excuse me. Zang is low jack. The but the cutoff is a three better. So yeah, if there’s bluffs in the range, even if there’s hands like ace queen, you know, ace 10 off, whatever, jacks is just the probably the worst hand you want to consider jamming here. Uh, but we do see a tight fold there. And I think that’s okay as well, too. These are two, you know, a big stack and a kind of a middling 70 big blind stack, three betting them. So, um, thanks for letting me win. I do know Lindster. I have played with Linster before. Yeah, Lster, no stranger, world poker tour champ. Jacksonville 2013, finished third that same year in Montreal. So, this man has racked up some cashes. 2.3 million in total from Island Park, New York. And I would say if Jack’s jam there, Ace Queen probably hits the muck because you just know your opponent’s really not going to have that many bluffs, right? and you might not ever dominate them like if they don’t jam ace jack or ace 10 there or king queen but but all good. So one thing that is important to keep reminding the viewers of is how much more valuable having 40 big blinds is in this tournament versus any other tournament. Yeah, look this is a slow structure but I was having a very detailed argument with one of my buddies and mentors Mr. Nick Wright over in Sydney, Australia, and we always have a crux debate about when to push the action and when to dial it back. And sure, this is one of the best structures that you can have in an MTT. But if you don’t take these profitable spots and let’s say your 40 big blinds dwindles down to 25 big blinds and then you take a a flip with like jacks versus ace queen, well then you’re only doubling up to 50 when you could have been getting to 60 or 70 or 80. So yes, you do need to be careful and maneuver, but you can’t be scared to die. You have to be prepared to risk your chips at some point to get chips. Yeah, absolutely. I think one of the main things, and Negrono talked about this in his vlog from his play on yesterday’s day two flight, is that the small ball approach, if you know what you’re doing post flop, uh, very much preferred over blowing up the pots pre flop and increasing variance. So, Negranu, who survived by the way, on a on a short stack going into day three, basically saying that he’ll he’s trying to avoid spots like that. And uh yeah, I think in the main more than any other event that’s going to be the truth. Yeah, look, I mean that’s that’s the dream. The dream is to just play small ball and have easy decisions and and not have to play huge pots where you decide 50/50 stuff for your tournament life. But hey, this is not an easy game we’re playing. If you start to play fierce competition, they’re going to put you in difficult spots. And yeah, I mean, there just comes a time where you don’t want to play small ball if you have big hands. You want to build the pot, you want to get value. So, I’m I’m all for a small ball strategy. I like to play a small ball strategy, too. But if I have the range advantage, if I have the betting lead, if I’m building the pot and I can connect or I can bluff someone, then yeah, you need to tell those stories or you need to get that value. So, look, it’s a long day for sure, but you need to take profitable spots. That’s what this that’s what this game is about. Taking profitable spots over the long run. The short term is hard to determine, but you that’s how you need to think about this game. One thing I like to point out here is that Takuya Oku, who just folded Jax, is playing his very first ever WSOP event today here in the main event from Kyoto, Japan. Japan, by the way, and I’ve said this before, amidst a massive poker boom. Shout out Masada. Masado Okosawa and shout out to Sha Okamoto uh two of the front runners in Japan growing the game. And uh Donnie, it seems as though every table has a Japanese player. Yeah, and I have noticed a heavy influx of Japanese players, not only across the entire WSOP, but specifically in my time playing this event. Every table I’ve been at has had two or three of them at least, and they’re pretty good. Um, so I don’t know what’s there over in the water in Japan, but can you guys please stay out of my tournaments over here because it’s not fun to deal with you guys. It’s awesome what’s happening in Japan with the boom, with the YouTuber influence, with the female poker influence there. I mean, yeah, I had two Japanese players, a male and a female, at my table on day one, and it’s just awesome. It’s phenomenal that the game is spreading. This is really a worldwide game. And just to get more people involved is so cool. And think about that. Poker isn’t fully yet legal in Japan. So, you know, once that happens, then it should really boom. We should really see a big, you know, influx of all the players coming into the game. It’s starting to get that way, but it hasn’t fully, you know, blossomed just yet. It’s It’s right there. Okay. So, here we got a hand. 954. Shout out Fort Lauderdale, baby. South Florida. Donnie can’t help himself when it comes to this. There was a 954 flop at my table the other day. I almost took a picture and sent it to you. You should have. So with a a really, you know, hey, he’s kind of trapping when he checks this flop. Maybe in some intention to check raise, but when you double check here, I think you start to miss out on value when you’re up against this short of a stack from Massie. And let’s see how Massie wants to navigate. He does just continue to take his ace high showdown value to the river. And at this point, if you’ve checked two streets with jacks, okay, it’s time to try to get something out of your opponent. And I don’t really like checking twice with jacks there because you need to protect your pair and get value from those overcards as we did see a queen hit the river. But okay, we’re going to learn about these players. How long you been in Mexico City? Like three years. I’ve just heard it’s awesome. Like we had a bunch of our people just went for the NASCAR. CJ says, “Why check the tournament with Jack?” Yeah. Maybe you’re just ultimately trying to go for a double track. Some of the best possible. Yeah. It’s like ranked like a top three or four food city in the world. I heard the subway system is incredible. I love trains. It’s I mean, it’s always packed, so I kind of hate it, but it’s like it’s very efficient. Appreciate everyone in the chat join. It’s always packed. Well, depending on the time. I got Donnie Peters here. Little chat there from Nilson about living in Mexico City and Mince picking up Ace9. By the way, for those in the chat asking about the feature table, uh the hardest job that we have right now is picking a feature table because our options are very limited. We can only pick tables from the horseshoe room. All the tables in Paris are off limits. It’s about a 10-minute hike to get out there. You can’t have players missing out on action. And if their table breaks, they would have to go all the way back into the Paris section. And on top of that, we have to deal with the breaking order of the horseshoe room tables. So tables close to the breaking order. We also cannot use. So I would say of all the days today the toughest one for us to be flexible with table draws but we’re going to try and switch the tables up every two hours every new level a new table unless of course we strike gold and uh we get something really amazing either stackwise or perhaps after like grinding all summer a bit of banter and table talk but for now mint and Massie here on the feature tables hope mince can run it up and build a big stack I want I want I need the French blaster just the man the masses vouble and just our sister our sister’s like us too she likes to get after elite beard Daniel Nielson’s part very castawayish we’re going to be like [ __ ] hammered singing songs with a bunch of Irish dudes at like six I can’t wait to see I hope there’s thank you Daddy Matty for the $5 donation he’s not a fan of the mince in the booth well mince is now in the main and you’re not so I guess he’s winning in the same day so it’ll probably be [ __ ] hammered that Jameson Distillery, excuse me. Interesting flop here. We got second pair versus an openended straight draw. Both players with a back door flush draw. The second day we’re going to go through the cliffs of Moare and and we see a raising coming from second pair. Do all the turns. Daniel Nielsen has a hand that he’s definitely not folding. It’s more about how he wants to navigate. Usually we call in position, peel one off, and see what happens. Yeah, I was in I’ve been to and that’s not a turn you want to see. This is definitely a turn card Mr. Firestone wanted to see. Lisbon trips here for Firestone in the small. Wouldn’t recommend Lisbon. It was like it’s cool. It’s a pretty city and there’s some good restaurants. And this is kind of annoying. You just have 10 high here. There’s dudes everywhere. Your pot odds are almost good enough to call again, right? You you put in 6K. There’s going to be 30k in the middle. The ladies up. We see he doesn’t actually have enough equity because he’s only 9% to win a jack is no good for him. It’s going to give a full house to Firestone. So that’s the magic card here that will stack Ne. Complete whiff there for Neielson down at just 30k here. And quick action again here from Firestone. 5700. And now Nielsson might be considering, hey, he check raised me on the flop. He probably shouldn’t have a whole lot of 9x. He should maybe have an ace more so than a nine in his hand. So he’s going to go for a bluff here. Wow. Leaving one chip behind. Nielsen pulls the trigger for 29,300. And this is kind of insane. You know, Remco, sorry to step on your foot there, but the back door clubs get there and he’s just bluffing with 10 high and Firestone’s in the spinner. Maybe in the furnace, we could say. Now, let’s let’s let’s go over Firestone’s range here. What does Neielson think Firestone should be able to fold here? An ace. He’s targeting an ace. You know, he got check raise on the flop. A very small bet on the turn, a very small bet on the river. This is Firestone maybe not recognizing how range constructs in these spots. And then Firestone needs to call here sometimes to to have some bluff catches. No, I mean um my partner, she was a really good guide. Um Firestone has to ask himself if if you’re not calling here with trip nines, obviously you would call here if you had a flush. What do your flushes look like? Maybe you have 10 eight of clubs. Maybe you have jack 10 of clubs that you bluff the flop with and you back door in the flush. Those are easy calls. But what is your next rung to be a bluff catcher and it has to come from I needed to get out of poker like but hey this is a sick spot because I just needed to pivot and Firestone might just think who bluffs like I couldn’t and I don’t want to work for other people. What do you do? Hard to hear Firestone here from our girlfriend and I started a company vantage point. We do AI consulting. We teach companies how to properly implement and use AI. So we’ll do a readiness assessment for the company where we, you know, get access to their data. We figure out huge spot. Neielson risking his tournament life. How ready is your data? And this is just a prime example of a problem a seasoned poker professional pouncing and taking like he gets the lay down and Neielson all in for his tournament life on a bluff. Gets it through and that’s also the main event. Pulling that trigger. Good luck with all that. Thank you very much. I mean, Neielson never would have expected his opponent to have a nine there in a million years. I’m going to tell you that once. Well, put yourself in Firestone shoes. Would you pull the trigger there with a nine when the clubs comes in?

Definitely a bit of a tight fold, but just imagine being in the spot there. It is It is just pretty sickening. Great. Neielson did just admit that he bluffed there in Firestone. Financial stability. Wow. It’s the best. Great bluff. The best. It’s the best. Uh, if you’re loving it on YouTube here, please don’t forget to hit the like button and subscribe to the channel.

Well, we did 20, so we’ll do double or nothing. I’m a B subzero. Okay, I’m in. All right. Is it It’s just It’s like the best finish all day. Best finish all day. Okay, I’m in. Better. Show us those baby blues. By the way, I finished 38th yesterday when I was in the chuck. I almost got there. Good for you. All right, we got some pairs here. Nines, fours, and sevens. Graham comes along with queen 10 from the big lines. It comes jack six. Nothing for no one. Let’s see who wants to get aggressive here. Two nines ahead when a checks due here. Do like to see a small bet. 4,000. That is 4,000. So, Firestone is going to try and pick this one up right here. Should get through most likely. I mean, I think you’re getting called. Yeah, I think you’re going to get called by one of these pairs at least. And kind of natural, I guess, for sevens. Sevens can beat value. Let’s say I like working with your girlfriend. If Firestone’s betting a hand like five, six suited or something, guess it’s not. My wife and I for a while work kind of. Did it Did it cause problems in the relationship? We just decided not to do it anymore. But check it gets checked to on the river here. Nope. We’re going to see seven. Go for a value bet. It’s going to be an easy call when you have two nines. You just got bluffed. You’re definitely not folding now. You’ve been in tech for a decade. He’s a lawyer. Yeah, he is going to make the call. And Firestone wins a nice little pot here off ice. And by the way, every day I’m working over 200k. So, he definitely I need it. I need her spot right here. In about a year, I think I’ll be able to do everything, but for now, like good to have her there. Hardcore Slayer says, “Scared money don’t make money.” Definitely true. Break it up. See, I’m I have no reason to not tell you that. You’re going to see it afterwards. in point dealing with personalities. Did you really? She’s compliance. And then we have uh pivoting over to our secondary table. Keeping track of both the tables here. And like I said, switching them out every two hours until we until we hit the jackpot. That’s three. Uh both in Negrono and Helmouth bagged up chips yesterday for those wondering where they are. Uh someone else who backed chips, Mr. Donnie Peters. I did shortish. What’s the What’s the G give us the the rundown of your of your day two. Came in with 358, ran it up to 167, ran it back down to 475. So 19 bigs coming in, but I I very much believe in a lot of the stuff Patrick Leonard says all the time. And it’s just really about how many big blinds you have and focus on the next hand. I have 19 bigs, which is plenty to work with in the large majority of tournaments, including this one, and especially in this one with how good the structure is. So, 19 bigs, I’ll just try and make it happen on the next card dealt. And then the next hand after that, after that, after that, hopefully it just compounds to me winning $10 million. Yeah. Just bag 19 bigs every day. That’s the plan. If I bag 19 bigs every day, I’m going to be at the final table. Exactly. Uh, so how many times have you been all in for your tournament with life so far? Um, like all in and call. Yeah. Never. Wow, look at that. I j I I jammed with somebody else in the hand. Two other people actually that covered me once and other than that I was all I jammed once but I had the guy covered. Um he didn’t call but the Yeah. So that was the only time. All right. So Donnie still in the main. Tristan, I I hate that you’re here because it it means that you have nothing left to focus on. Well, I was going to be here either either. Okay. Okay. I wasn’t sure. I did play day two yesterday and yes, unfortunately it was a disaster, but it wasn’t my wrongdoing. I played great in my mind and uh my last hand was a brutal, unfortunate too outer to triple up, but you know, that’s how it goes. I’m so blessed to be able to play this tournament. And you know, Donniey’s complaining about bagging 20 big blinds. I’m about to elbow him in the face. I’m not complaining. I know. I’m just kidding. But not complain. It’s It’s funny how you see like after I got up and then got back down, I pretty much nursed like around 20 big blinds for like a level and a half. But it’s it’s just funny how for whatever reason I wasn’t in a position to like get my chips in, but like around me there’s people with like 40 50 60 big blind like going bust all the time and I’m like in my head I’m just like man I’m just kind of grateful just to be here because like I could be bust too like you’re seeing these big stacks just like you know coolers and whatever. It happens. I get it, but it’s like, well, at least I’m I’m not in that position. Yeah. And look, as long as you’re in the tournament, that’s all that matters. That’s why I was telling you, Donnie, as long as you’re in the tournament, nothing else matters. Nothing. Doesn’t matter your stack. Doesn’t matter. You’ve seen everyone play 200 big blind pots. As long as you’re in the tournament, you have a chance. We got three action here. Linen making the call from the big blind after Cababrini made a 2K and Hadad called. We got 98 king queen 76. Had parent is eight out in front. Question coming into the chat from Hamad asking about how does the computer know the cards before the players even check them. There are RFID readers in the table. There’s little microchips in the cards. The uh system reads it and sends it over to the computer and we are doing commentary on a delay. This happened I think this happened two hours ago because we’re starting with a longer delay which allows us to cut out the dinner break which is why we can offer you eight straight hours of main event coverage without interruptions. So we got 89 betting the flop getting floated by king queen which it was a small c bet but king queen of diamonds no backdoor equity so you’re really trying to turn a jack or an ace to pick up some draw but good to see that hand kind of get out the way now unimproved of course mints for the for the fans is on the secondary excuse me on the main feature table we are bouncing back and forth so uh if you don’t see him That means he’s not in a hand, but we will pivot back and forth to cover the action. Men’s currently sitting on 96,000 chips. That is 96 big blinds. That is a very, very good stack at this point in time. Uh once again, please like the video if you’re seeing us on YouTube. Let’s get up to a,000 likes. Uh record-breaking numbers yesterday when we had both Helmet and Negrrono on the feed. Shout out to all those that were in there yesterday and are back for more today. Uh, tomorrow by the way, Jeff Plat and Brent Hanks on the call on both Poker Go and YouTube for day three coverage. Day three also full day of streaming, no interruptions. And uh, that’s also going to be free on both go and YouTube. Caprini raises under the gun. Zang calls under the gun one queen a eight suited. That’s a little bit of a loose call in early position because you have so many people that could squeeze behind you and kind of force you out. But she is playing with 250 big blinds. So flex. It did get Martins to just fold ace jack adena which is fine you know big deal when under the gun and under the gun one tango. They should have tight ranges, but we see kind of everyone at the bottom of their ranges. A 610 flop here. Zen with some back door options. Two small pairs to go around. Whoever stabs first might take this down. And it’s Cababrini who will break this one in. Some questions. Why would you fold a jack there? The chat’s already wondering what’s happening here. Look, when under the gun opens, under the gun one calls, those are very tight ranges. The idea for ACEJ offsuit there is to play it as a three bet bluff, more or less, quote unquote. It’s one of the weaker hands you could raise. All right, quick reminder here. The Poker Stars NAP is coming back. It’s going to be happening in November. It’s going to be a packed house again at Resorts World. Uh Donnie, this is one of those marquee ones in Vegas that you just simply cannot miss out on. Yeah, November 3rd through 12th, like you said, just down the road at Resorts. Well, they got a 50K super high roller on the schedule, so if you got enough change, hop on in that. But the biggest one, of course, is the 5K main event that’ll take place the last 6 days of that series. They have something for everyone at NABT Las Vegas. They have, as I mentioned, that 50K high roller. They also have stuff, I believe, as low as like $300. They got mixed games. They got no limit. You got regular. Yeah. Let’s go. I love how you started with the 50k while I’m in a free roll. It really makes it makes it very painfully obvious where I’m not ready for. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love it over there. All right. Back to the Mincy table. There’s a cool If you’re here for Mincy, it’s like higher end. Let us know in the chat. We want to know if Mincy actually drives drives the people here. Yeah, there are a lot of Mincy fans in there. And this is just going to be a walk. I like rebar. They got a nice courtyard in the back. As uh Mr. Massie starts to talk about the local bars here we have in Carolina Berlin bar. Well, if anyone knows about the local bars here, it’s I’m the Massie Brothers. I think I go maybe once every two years. Rebar. Great spot. Maybe go to like Encore Beach Club like once in a while. Dude, I went to the Encore Beach Club 4th of July day party. That’s a [ __ ] party. It was It was It was a scene. I bet. Lot lot of lot of beautiful women showing a lot showing a lot of skin in one place. I can tell you that they show just as much skin as Ralph Max showing here too with his shirt unbuttoned. I bought a table for my kids at one of those a lot. No, my my my wealthy buddy my my wealthy buddy bought a table and I just chilled I’ve aged out of that. It’s a lot of 40 50 year olds at then still. But yeah, look it’s all ages in Vegas guys. If you want to go party with some 20 something. So funny when you’re playing at win and you see everybody stumbling out of there at like 400 p.m. so many people are just hammered, dehydrated, falling all over the [ __ ] place. Yeah, they’re on like the lawn. So new player here on the little grass raises with queen jack suited gets three bet by the king n suited always. This is some big stack pressure here. I guess I’ll follow. I just want a wealthy friend like Mincy has. Get those get those day club party invites. Who am I kidding? I’m a dad now. I don’t go out and Yeah, you wouldn’t even go. You’re toast, man. I’m sorry. So well put together. All the girls look great. And then 4 p.m. It was pretty chaos. I think I would be surprised. And completely whiffs, but he does have the best hand here. And he has a range advantage, right? He’s going to have all the big hands in his three betting range. and Graham, you know, with queen jack clubs, you have some backdoor equity. You could turn a nine, you could turn a king, you could turn a club, you could hit a queen or a jack. And it looks like he is going to peel one off here. Rightfully so. Again, this is pot 7k to win 30k. And you see his equity was 30%. When the five comes, that’s a really good card for the in position player. They have all the pocket jacks and queens and kings and aces in the range. But going to get a little gangster here about the plan into his opponent with queen. I don’t care. It’s funny. This could work, guys, because at the bottom of his range. She She’d think it was funny. I obviously wouldn’t, but she she would she’d think it’s funny. Now also might say, “Hey, look, I just know this card’s not supposed to favor you. How do you have a five here?” So could pounce on this by either raising small making it like 20k 22k and it looks like he might just say I don’t really know what to do here. I was kind of hand in the cookie jar and that’s a great pickup by Graham for the questions in the chat about the free roll every hour on the half hour. Playpoko.com come join us. You can play from anywhere. Play for free. It it’s just to have a bit of fun guys. We’re just trying to make this this long day, this long round of the main event as uh casual and entertaining as possible. We’re such children. Oh, what a life. Come a long way. Good for you, buddy. We got uh Chill Pollins says, “Come to Hard Hat Lounge for Karaoke Wednesday. I’ll be bartending.” So, anyone in the chat Wow. We got a bartender hookup. Let’s go. You guys want to start doing some karaoke in the booth? I mean, we’re in the soundproof booth. No, I brought I’ve brought the karaoke up before. Um, but you weren’t there. about 40. What’s your go-to karaoke song? Titty shirt. She’s probably going to be [ __ ] with you know me. I’m a rapper. So, um, run this town. Oh, that’s Jay-Z. Rihanna. Who’s Rihanna? Who’s Who’s getting the invite? Donnie, I’ll let Donnie do it. All right, chat. This get gets brought up from time to time, but I I do I do want to know what your what your go-to karaoke song is. I feel like Ralph Massie would be good for karaoke as would my Mincy and Massie could be actually a show. That could be a duo. Yeah. On the town. It’s a good idea. Hey, don’t give these guys any ideas. Uh here Massie 2k Dree with the call. And Massie continues for 1500. Dice again with the call. Let’s Let’s focus on the action, guys. The chat will hate us for missing out on any hands. Um Massie here pairing his king. Yeah, look, he was semiluffing the flop, more or less. He could have had the best hand, but now he makes the best hand. And we see a value bet incoming. Oh, there is a short stack here. And Drei was just kind of floating the flop. Ace high maybe best, which it was. Said she’s going to wear like tits out shirt on the rail. Did Mincy just say tits out shirt? I heard something like that. I was going to ignore it, but No, I won’t ignore anything he says. I know. I just said no good. No, I just said no good. I said no good when you’re talking about it. Mensy’s the type of guy who thinks just because we can’t see him that we can’t hear him. Mensy is the definition of bull in a that is how he lives his life. He talks like, you know, I like it. I like his voice. He’s got a very unique kind of raspy voice. Thank you very much. How did he come to his fame? I know he’s with Bar stool, but someone give me a little more details. How did he become so beloved by everybody? He was doing sports radio in the south. uh I believe uh college sports. Well, he was doing poker before that. Well, it was Yes. And then and then poker went south, right? For lack of a better term. And then he went south and then and then he joined sports radio in I believe Nola, New Orleans. He was he was doing sports radio. Got got some fame in that regard. Got noticed. Shouldn’t tell you. Yeah. I don’t really know how it came together, but next thing you know, he’s like going up to New York City for like a bar stool debut. They fall in love with him. Boom. There you And then he gets fired. And then he gets rehired. And uh drama over there. Yeah, lots of drama. Kelly with the $5 donation says, “Shout out, Mincy. We love you. We miss you.” Goat wants me to do a freestyle rap. Later. Maybe later. I’ll have to get approval from Poker Go if I can. I mean, speaking of karaoke and freestyle raps, I mean, Mincy’s not invited. He’s just not allowed to be. That’s what got him fired in the first place. That’s true, actually. Really? He He used some verbiage that uh was not not allowed. Not approved. Right there. Tristan, you better watch out because you get canceled in like 5 seconds. Yeah. Don’t those words don’t come out of my mouth. Yeah, those. Okay, Ralph Massie with another nice hand here. ACJ offuit. Now he is he does have Neielson in position who wakes up with two jacks. And this is an incoming three bet here. And Massie’s in a tough spot because he has a hand that’s good enough to call even though maybe he’s just outside the zone of comfortably wanting to continue. So that’s a really disciplined fold there. Uh when you expect this guy who’s really good on your left to maybe play back at you, it’s a really good fold. Is that mine? I think so. I’m guessing so. Yeah, he just threw it to you, right? Yeah. Jankee says three bracelets no good for POI. We will see. Currently it’s no good for POI. That’s kind of insane, right Jankee? Yeah. Sha Dee get the runnerup finish in the 1K adding to his total now extending his lead with uh there’s still some events to go. Some post limbs. He loves Barstow. I had 300k bar. Really? But uh when I was out here, Barto loves Trump. Oh, not yet. Yeah. I was out here in uh Vegas two summers ago and I was at a Golden Knights playoff game she was at. Kelly the Dono says, “Mincy kissed my dad at a fish concert in 2013.” Maybe legitimate. That’s oddly specific. It’s so specific that it has to be true. You don’t just make that up. Everything written on YouTube chat has to be true if it’s specific. Uh, by the way, if you’re in YouTube chat, um, make sure to like the video, subscribe to our YouTube channel. We got lots more yesterday. Joe Ingram responds. That’s one way to spend your Russell. I am in the poker go chat and the YouTube chat. I’m multitasking while talking poker, while talking with Remco and Donnie. I’m living the dream. And this a pretty good flop here for Graham. But with all these overcards, O’Brien turns the best equity. Graham start to the bet with his pair of fours and open-ended straight during. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Not so just got to walk over here. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. No in the big blind and then when everything shut down, it just made sense. Regulated online poker. We got Lance Bradley in the chat on Poker Go saying, “Can we please get Tristan to remix the Prolad Friedman rap in the It was so eerie. Lance, can I do my own original stuff? I I love Prolad, but I I’ I’d rather make an original. So, if if you guys have any requests, I could do an original. I’ I’ve made songs in the past, so I got you guys. But But would it be on on that kind of level, though? I think I think I could take it to another level. No, we don’t want that. We We wanted to be right on par with with Prol Freeman. You know, I have some music talent. Nobody knows. No, see, but that’s the thing. Having no talent and then doing it actually. It’s better for the ls. But, you know, do you want good music or do you want the l sop.com. I could do both. I I’m I’m playful enough. I think I could pull it off. Wait, was that before the name change? I’m trying to remember. Uh, Coach Adam is asking, “Does anyone know where the Final N will be hosted?” It’ll be at the horseshoe. It’ll be in this very room that you’re watching right now. Uh, we’re using these two tables that you’re watching because the main set is getting an overhaul, which will be back in play starting on day four, I believe. So, everything getting set up for the big day, the big two days, I should say, because it’s going to be two days of main event coverage. And great call here by O’Brien on the river with a pair of nines faced with a 6k bet. I haven’t I haven’t played yet. He’s going to best the two fours. And that’s a good pick up line in probably three years. You’re pretty short on chips. Two probably last time I played. Yeah, right before the series last year. Peter says, “Can we drug test mints?” Look, there’s no drug testing in poker, okay? So, there would be no tournament. I mean, I think if there was drug testing. No, no, no. I thought I thought you wish it was grand mostly club. Yeah. Well, I I just like the structure of the game. So, there’s like a shadow and they don’t have those games on. So, it pushes the action. Yeah. Like, you know, three blinds with Mincy sold my grandma sub pride and load. That’s a good Yeah. Let’s get some fa Let’s get some fake Mincy facts going in the chat. Mincy loves cottage cheese, says Isaiah. That’s a good one. Who doesn’t? Yeah, who doesn’t? My sister loves to eat cottage cheese with Doritos. Correct. What? It’s a pretty good mix, actually. I I have one for you. Okay. A little piece of, you know, thick piece of sourdough toast. Yeah. With some jam of your choosing, strawberry, peach, whatever you want. Go on. Some cottage cheese on top. A little salt and pepper. Oo, a little sweet and uh protein heavy delight. Oh, touche. Should be careful. That’s the only one that Okay, we’re not we’re not going to read the ones that insinuate that Mincy committed any crimes because uh I don’t want to do that to the poor guy. But I I do think it’s really funny what you guys are doing. Real JP B says, “Tristan, it’s pretty hard to top except my opponents. They should have practiced avoidance.” Avoidance. Yes. famous Prols, but I was like, just come hang out for a little bit. Then I told her, have drink at 4:40. I can kind of BS with her. It’s the dinner break. You know, dinner break is two hours. So, M roing around be like, I love it. I think it’s 75. Come watch me on the rail, baby, and then we can get dinner on my break. Mincy’s like going up the girl saying, “Do you know how many followers I have? How many? He’s got a lot. How big is your following list? Uh, once again, much love, by the way, to everyone who is watching. We’ll run through some big names that are still out there in the field. As I mentioned before, we’re playing in two rooms. If you’ve been to the WSOP, you know that the distance between these rooms is is enormous. Uh, it’s kind of a a maze until we get to day four, almost unmanageable. But some of the other bracelet winners still in the field today include Cliff Josephie, Josh, the world famous Pat Lions, Bryce Yaki, Brian Yun, Greg Mueller, Lataro Aguero, the PLO specialist, Barry Hutter. We have Dylan Lindy, Shannon Shore, Joseph Chong, Sergio Ido, Chanc. If you had an accepin, [Laughter] so many mincy facts are running through chat. W chat. W chat. You guys are killing it. What is the rule? Sprints. Sprints back. Okay. Sorry. He made it, but it’s not his second. I don’t want to say it. It’s the last card. Pusheen. If you do ask poker questions, we’ll try to get to them. The chat does scroll kind of fast, but yeah, any kind of uh valuable stuff, we can try to help. When there’s a lull in action, we’re happy to do so. Fire stone here going to raise with ace king. Massiey’s going to defend the big blind with jack 10 offuit. Maybe I should he has five nipples. That is That’s a lot. Firestone here. Flopping trips. Getting back to the table just in time before his hand got killed. And now Massie pairing his 10. This is a little treacherous for Massie. Yeah, we got your opponent checked back. Trip kings on the flop. Now improves with 100% check mark. also has a ace of clubs and Massie with a bluff catcher but no club in his hand. So he’s going to call one and then be in a be in a world of fault when faced with a bet on the river as we see Firestone make the second nuts kings full of aces. And this will be an easy fold for Massie when he faces Yeah, he’s got a podcast. It’s a big bet too over the pot just slightly. Kelvin, this is live. We watching on the delay as we see Massie make a quick fold. Yeah. Yeah. At Vegas was like 500 nose blades. Oh, really? They just had We’re watching the delay live with you guys. June 30th one here. Is it the one? Yeah. Yeah, I know. It was the one where the All right, let’s go to Jeff for the first time with Jason Somerville looking for what what has to be a world record setting three straight main event cashes. There’s no chance anybody has done that. No, no chance, Mr. Platt. This is This is amazing to see you. I come here just to see you. Really? And you come to find me. You found me this time. I did. You were right over there. You snuck in there on day two and it’s like, “Oh, hello. You must be Jason. I registered before the end. I actually got here like an hour ago.” Do you get at the tables when you sit down? Do you get the like guy who looks at you and they’re like, “No, that couldn’t be him.” No, it can’t be. Well, I kind of look like I always looked, right? I have a very I have a hat, you know? I’m just a dude. So, people are like, “Is that you, Jake Harver?” And they’re like, “Oh, sick. You must be playing poker. must be really good. I’m like, “No, buddy. I moved to Milwaukee.” Okay. Did you move to Milwaukee? No, I didn’t. You just called my bluff, Jeff. Okay. You didn’t move. You believed me for a second, right? Cuz no one is from Milwaukee. So, when you wear a Brewers shirt, this is how you know you’re like into baseball. That’s really what it means. Got it. But yeah, I see your poker game’s pretty sharp. A lot of limping. Yes. Yes. And three bet folding. You know what? I arrived here today and for some reason I felt the spirit of Gavin Smith who told me once upon a time he was like, “You know what? Just limp. It’s fine. It’s the main event, you know, you just limp and all these geniuses that are doing over bets in these things, they don’t know what to do against the limp. Their brain just explodes. You can see the sparks coming out of the Europeans’s ears. But you three bet and had to fall back. I did just three bet and then I fold because they know what to do against but against the limp. They have no clue, Jeff. Okay, I’ll send you back. I’ll send you back to the action. Hopefully you go back to back to back. It’ll be because of the limbs. Main event specialist. I want to see you on day five. Okay, we can make that happen. Can I just say Jeff’s doing an amazing job, guys. He every year he elevates. Elevates. You can cut out of this at any moment. The late night talk show is coming. Oh wow. Poker related though. You’ll be my first guest. Okay. Okay. Back to the action you go. Thank you very much, guys. Oh, thank you Jeff so much and sorry for stepping on you there at the front end. But uh man, it’s good to have Jay Carver back in the mix. Jason pork chop for the fans being out here during the main the last two years going for three in a row. Who Who was that? Mark Zuckerberg situation. That’s a joke, but see someone in the chat. Good comment. It took me over 15 minutes just to get down here for the We got Bluff McGee says, “What’s the most common mistake you see happen at the main event every year?” That’s tough. But I would say some people play too tight and some people play too loose. What do you miss about it? It’s kind of hard, but it was our dump. You know what I mean? Like you didn’t have to walk through all that [ __ ] smoke. It was really the smoke thing in the horseshoe lobby. the horse casino floor conditions there were at least environment Jason Somerville is the goats that guy is a legend you could go out and shout out to him I’ve known him a long time he really elevated content production poker and creating a community like the Amazon Brazilia the lighting it felt more prestigious unbelievable all right a little reminder here that play poker go is a fun and free online poker game you can deal yourself in right Now, over at playbookco.com, available on web, iOS, and Android, every hour on the half hour, a new free roll starts. And guess what? I’m still in. I’m still in the most recent free roll. Um, come join us. playpo.com every hour on the half hour for a bit of poker action. But yeah, it’s funny seeing people in the chat asking who that guy was, which is just crazy because Jason Somerville has meant so much for the game of poker. the OG poker streamer, of course, capturing a massive audience with his Twitch streams. And he’s now been out of the game for so long that there’s people that got into poker since they don’t even know who he is anymore. Yeah. Yeah. 10 years ago, he was the only one doing it. He came to me a long time ago. He said, “Tristan, this Twitch thing is going to be a big deal.” And he was the one to first commit. He built his own community, started running his own poker tours, and yeah, I mean, he really was doing a phenomenal job, and then he kind of stepped away to do some other things. But yeah, exactly. How It’s funny how time passes us by and now we have new new people shephering the way like the Rampages, the Wolf Gangs. Um, I’m sure there’s a million other great content creators that I can’t name. Debbie Davis says, “I’m still in the free roll.” Let’s go, Debbie. Three players, you and me both. Uh, we got a set here for Zang as we go back to our secondary table. Oku, the shortest stack in this hand, flopping top pair. Oo, and Goku might be able to get I don’t want to say away, but might maybe not go broke here because we see a bet a call. And now there’s nothing else for King Nine to do but call. Ace comes on the turn. That card could always be a saving grace if you have an under a pair lower than the ace. Feel like a lot of people can talk themselves into believing that their opponent has one of those. Yeah. And Cababrini like you know bottom of range here. So he’s just going to bet picking up equity here with a straight draw. He blocks ace queen. He blocks ace jack. And Zang has you know Zayn can do anything here. Zang’s very underrep with bottom set. If Zang wanted to raise here, you could stack some hands like maybe ace king, ace7. Um but you know it’s kind of natural to call here too if you just want to let someone keep bluffing away. But we do see Zang just put both players all in. This going to be an easy spot for King N suited to fold now. And Cababrini is not going to be able to do anything but muk as well. We got another dono here from Justa. Ben Mintz died in 2018 and was replaced by an MK Ultra body double for five bucks. Oh my god. Uh Brian Springman $10 donation saying more coffee for you guys. Thank you, Brian. appreciate your help as a a moderator as well. Yeah. Let’s talk about the other streamers real quick. Give a little love because this hand’s over. Um we got Kevin Martin. Who else do we got? Name your favorite streamers in in the chat. Who you who do you like the most on YouTube? Who do you like the most on Twitch? Twitch has been fading a little bit. I feel like that used to be the the spot. I mean, Lex Fel of course on both Twitch and YouTube. Spraggy. Spraggy. Yes. Easy with aces. I’m not sure if Finton is still out there. Have good hands. Very easy to play. Look at that. Okay. I mean, he’s not he’s not a streamer, but he creates a hell of a lot of content. Shout out to him, too. Doug Pog is a rich recreational poker. Yeah, he’s just a rich casino owner. Tonka, Brad, Amaranth. Okay, Rainstorm, relax. I haven’t seen her play any poker ever since she didn’t get paid from ACR. Andrew Neimi of course. Salt for Y. Jam Burton. Crazy aids. Kai. Okay. Draft Ganganger. Yeah, Draftganger is great. Egyptian. Cory and Abby. Turtle Destroyer on the cards. That’s good. Ryan Depollo getting a little love there. Boowki. Martin Sadena here opening it up to 2200 with fives and Lucan king jack of spades. Vitali Lucan winner of one of the first ever high rollers even though it wasn’t classified as such. The 40k at the 2009 WSOP can beat a field that was absolutely ridiculously stacked and he was the big unknown who took it down as we see ajack 4 roll off the deck. Did he win something else that year too? Uh he won well a couple years later he won the 50k super high roller at EP Barcelona. Um he’s got he’s got 6 and a half million in earnings. Yeah, he had I just remember he had one insane WSOP where he just went bananas. 45,500. So, we see Adena go ahead and just continue with the betting here. Bottom of range type of holding. You played really great. Really great. And I don’t know if Lin’s going for reads here, but you don’t really fold a jack here, especially with a king in your hand. Big respect. But like he says, big respect here. Look at Lan Chatty. I’ I’ve not seen Luke. I’ve never seen him chatty. Maybe this is a growing kind of personality here from someone who used to just kind of be very quiet at the table for me. Maybe some history there too. Yeah, I was going to say they probably played before deep in events. I mean Dave’s hot chicken back to the feature here. Two flush draws. One of them, Graham with an ace and the diamond comes in on the river. We got flush over flush 21k in the middle. Graham versus Eisen and Graham first act here comes to 10k. Okay, now this is where could understand and maybe not lose more here. Like my opponent is um let me double check the action. Graham bet the flop, bet the turn, and he bet the river. 2.5k 5k now 10k. Now, when you have when you have a flush queen high, we are seeing raising chips. But I would say this is fine, of course, if you think you get called by worse stuff. If you think your opponent’s going to be kind of weak here, but Graham has the ace high flush. You don’t love getting raised in this spot because your opponent probably shouldn’t raise you all that much with very weak flushes. Maybe only the king high or queen high is going to raise. But hey, when you have the ace high flush, you’re not folding here. You block. Accees full. So if your opponent just shows you like nine seven suited or pocket nines, you still have chips behind. All right, there it is. He makes the call. Eisen going to lose 36,000 because Graham’s not flush. Is going to be best here. That was queen. Two very well disguised flushes. And Graham now up to 110k. And and I I I don’t want to critique people too much because obviously I can see the cards, but I play this event. I play a lot of poker. I play against amateurs often. And I would say in a spot like that when someone who’s maybe not going to be that aggressive bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bets into you when the flush comes they probably just have a flush themselves and not like a weak flush. They probably have like a stronger hand more than a weaker hand. So I I don’t really love seeing the raise with queen eight of diamonds there. I’m going to be honest, especially when the ace of diamonds and king of diamonds exist out there. But all good. It’s it’s obviously a fine play. You really got to ask yourself, will my opponent call me with worse? And that’s a scenario where I don’t think you’re going to get called by worse. Why did he not go allin? Pilot says, um, I think he was just trying to make a raise size where someone could call with worse without risking their tournament because this is the main event and people aren’t going to call their tournament lightly, right? They need something close to the nuts to call all in and be eliminated. So maybe that was the idea there uh raising for value with the queen eight of diamonds. All right, again my name is Remink. Tristan Wade, bracelet winner alongside me in the booth for some analysis. Donnie Peters also with us today. Eight straight hours of main event coverage, no breaks. So whatever you’re doing, put it on hold. Just like this video on YouTube, subscribe to the channel. It helps us spread the good word. Also, welcome again to our viewers on Poker Go.

Uh but of course men the big big headliner here uh on table A and on table B we got Lucen, Adena, Zang and uh I believe we’re gearing up for a table change in less than an hour. So if you don’t like it, just stick around. We’ll uh we’ll keep switching those tables out. O’Brien here getting rid of the jacks. Nielson is just starting to heat up, man. Like look, if you’re just going to slow play jacks, you can’t fold on an ace 109 board. You got, you know, that’s a board someone just going to see bet with their whole range. Thank you. Or whatever the flop was. Ace 54, excuse me. Thanks, Commander. The devil is back. This This guy was once seated at at table 66, seat six. I’m not I’m not kidding. That actually happened. Let’s not label people the devil room. No, I think I think he I think he calls himself to that point. Tommy Wizo. No, I’m just I just I replays I think about hands, you know, maybe David Ritter is the player that we just saw on screen. I don’t play Nolan Holden very much. Dudu says, “Isn’t it against the WSOP rules to flat call a river bet with money behind when you’re last act with the nuts?” I used last year, but that wasn’t the nuts with that ace4 of diamonds. It was a paired board like a lot of people in the chat pointed out as well. But yeah, you you can’t be last act and just call with the nuts. Um it’s there’s rules protecting kind of collusion in that aspect. Sam asking is Helm still in? Yes, he backed chips last night. Helmouth, by the way, was blasting on the feature table yesterday. completely out of line, out of character, zoom, zoom mode, whatever you want to call it. Out of character. I mean, he was he that’s his stick. That’s his whole stick. Remco is I’m going to just talk up amateurs to pressure them into being intimidated by me because I’m the greatest poker player of all time. 17 bracelet WSOP champ Phil. What are you doing? Call me with ace king. What do you call me with a flush? I have better. He made some nonsensical bluffs that uh no one was able to wrap their head around. I have no idea when it was. Of course, only Helm Youth can wrap his head around that stuff. He’s in another league of his own money. Uh questions about the money. End of day three. I mean, I didn’t think so. I mean, yeah, you know what I mean. I really wish that Mr. D in the one seat that his first name was Chip. That would have been quite fun. Film of the Kennedy assassin. Look, everyone is you say star power and who are we watching? These are the new stars. We’re making stars out of these people. You know, this is the main event. You got to see the whole spectrum of who comes to play. And let’s give everyone a shy. I say I can’t so bad. He sounds familiar. Maybe it was a president or something. I’m not getting into it a lot. I mean, Mincy says it’s so bad there. Queen three offuit is bad, but when you’re up against a raising range on the button, that’s going to be about 50% of hands. Queen, it all becomes a math equation on your pot odds and how likely is my hand going to realize it’s equity. So hands like queen three offsuit could start to call because if you flop a queen, you flop a three, you pick up enough of a of a good enough hand to continue against someone who’s playing half the deck. Um, but that’s just a little inexperience as some people have noted some of the tight folds from Mincy thus far like ace9 suited just hitting the muck. You have a black tip that’s under Sorry, what? You have a black tip on the rail. Well, you know, that’s that’s the beauty of this game. We’re going to see how people play and what their strategies look like. He’s coming off this. Yeah, like this chip’s really hot. Maybe I should use this one. That means lucky, right? Ivy is playing the main event, but he busted. So, he did play the main event. We got O’Brien with queen 10 making it 2,000. Is with the call. And now Massie in the big blind with king six with a nice little price here. And MY so far has just been folding VP of 14%. So he’s only played 14% of hands which is among the lowest at the table. So trying to just wait for a good hand and there is room for that in the main event. If anyone wants to understand what VIP means, it means voluntarily put chips in the pot. So we see O’Brien here continue with a bet with queen 10. Just a bluff with a gut shot and Icing going to keep him honest of course with two nines that have kind of been slow played quote unquote. It’s fine to have two nines in your range here for 50 bigs plus effective. And this is where it gets a little tough to maneuver. You only have queen high. You don’t have a spade in your hand, but you’ve now picked up a double gut shot. And I like the bet. Maybe I would have chose a more polarizing of a size because even nines can peel one more even though they don’t have spades. So this is this is tricky for nines. I mean, if they just let go of their hand, it kind of makes sense. But the pot odds are too good. This is savvy here. Very savvy. As we see just shoot a look over. Neither player with a spade here. You got it. How’s this going to go down now? Can O’Brien unload the Can I call the far on him now? You get to the river with queen high. You can never win here. Now you think your opponent probably has a spade to call the flop and the turn, but let’s see. Can we fire one more bullet at this? It’s not a big deal. They said don’t use the phones here. Go just there. I don’t think it really matters. When he came over here to check also think that checking for him is also a losing bet. Yeah. And that’s why we just see him instantly grab chips. I mean, he’s basically turning his hand to a bluff, even though it’s good, just in case your opponent has a hand like ace king of hearts or something like that. You know, a value bet on the turn. Even a hand like ace jack would feel really uncomfortable faced with a bet here. And I mean, if O’Brien does something here with queen 10, no spade, this would just be kind of magical. But I doubt we’re going to see any aggression. and he’s going to let it go. So, Eizen will take this one. Just in the chat asking where’s Pads. If if Pads makes a run, we’ll feature him for sure later. Love to have him. Yep. Play some poker on stream. Is the fun of this game. Don’t actually have to have the Once again, please like the video. helps us spread the good word on the action being live. I love these. Hit over 7,000 likes on yesterday’s video. Of course, banger with both helmet and Negrrono on the feature tables. It’s a long day for these players. They play 10 hours of poker every single day. And one of the big reasons why a lot of the notable pros played on prior days is because if you survive and make day three, you still get a day off today before you resume play again tomorrow. So rest is uh definitely important, especially as as you get deeper and deeper in this tournament. We got three action here to the flop. Firestone coming in for the raise. O’Brien just flatting with jacks. Are you Are you a fan of just flatting with jacks there? It’s It’s okay sometimes. I think it starts to become kind of the best hand you want to start having to three bet with because you want to play pots heads up with those kind of hands and deny other hands from coming in to the pot and realizing their equity like Dre with king nine here. And we see J is still good. So maybe we could see a small bet here from J. It’s unlikely one of your opponents has an ace to check twice. What’s that? But yeah, typically, you know, around 50 big blinds, you can have jacks in your calling range, but it basically starts being kind of one of the better hands you want to three bet typically. So, we do see a good bet here from Jackson. It’s going to get called by the nines and sevens with an ace kicker currently being played by Dre in the big blind. And this is also why you like to three bet jacks because look at the board here. There’s a lot of overcards. You typically want to thin the field, but Jax is going to take it. What’s that? Jackie says, “Anyone know what ever happened to Oliver Olivier?” And actually, he went he made a final table of the 15 um of the 3K no limit. I cashed in the 3K no limit. He made the final table of it this year. This year. So, he’s been around still. I know he’s married. So, shout out to him. He’s probably just not playing as much poker as he used to. Probably doing some other stuff. Really smart guy. Um but I don’t know. I don’t know if he’s around playing the main or what, but he was here last night. That was hilarious. That was No, he hates it. Barcel bringing out the fans, but not bringing out the raises just yet. Very conservative approach from him. Hoping he can maybe find one hand to play. Speaking of hands to play, I’m still in the free roll. 119 left. Let’s go. For those watching and are chatting with us, how’s your poker summer been? Have you been out here for the WSOP? Are you playing some local live events? Perhaps grinding online? Love to hear from everyone how things are going. You want me to put them in the box or Oh, they’re dead. Do you guys want to see them here? It’s right over there. You’re so close. Not many hands being dealt. No, it’s it’s it’s funny. We did coverage on day one the table with Ben Lamb, Eric Afriot, Darren Elias, and Anton Wig, and every hand someone got ace king seemingly, and we saw so many massive pots. Uh, and sometimes you go through a bit of a dry spell and things get really quiet and slow and feels as though we’re in a bit of a run like that. Yeah, Neielson a3 suited against a button open. Second best hand. Opponent has ace king, but ace3 diamond’s going to peel one off just in case the ace high is good, which typically it could be good against a button opening range, right? I talked about how buttoned opens are 50 40 to 50% of hands. So, we’re going to see both players check down ace high and the nut ace high is going to win with ace king. And now notice how Neielson doesn’t bluff there. He has enough showdown value with an ace high. If he had a hand like jack 10 or something, we’d see a bluff. But when he has ace high, if you start turning those hands into bluffs, you’re just bluffing with too much of your old hands, basically. Uh Cody in the chat saying, “Playing my first live game tomorrow after playing online for a bit. So nervous, Cody. It’s just poker. You’ll be fine. Best of luck.” Uh the the Bass Assassin asked, “What happened to Marcel Luke?” I mean, I don’t know what happened to him. I do know that he cashed the seniors event this year. Uh I haven’t seen him in the main. He may or may not have played, but Marcel definitely in Vegas this year again. uh not playing the uh stakes he once played, but it he I think he finished like 11th or 12th in the super seniors, so fell short of the final table. That would have been funny if he was able to do it. He was one of my favorite players when when I first got with Poker. Just his energy, his excitement, his personality. He seemed like such a nice guy. Backwards hat and all or upside down hat. Upside down hat. Yeah. Yeah. And also him um he would always bring uh he would bring six different suits for every single day of the bank. That’s just like a fun loving character in the poker world. Okay, so we got two strong hands. Ace 10 suited versus two nines going to the flop. Ace jack six two diamonds. Graham out in front. our stacks asking what Fedor holds. Did not see him. Flamingo asking about Bless. Bless busted the main of course in dramatic fashion running his aces into quads. I believe Bless might be joining Jeff and Brent on the commentary tomorrow. That is uh not confirmed. Kalin asked, “How does this work? Is this the finals?” Well, the WSB main event for all you guys that are new to this event, uh, is roughly 10,000 players putting up $10,000 each to play for a first prize. That is roughly $10 million. Today is the second day two. I’ll get to more of that in just a second after this one. Um, if you want a chance to play in our Poker Go studio on the Las Vegas strip, head on over to trueclassices.com/tcpoko and put your name in the hat for our rags to riches promo as you could win a $5,000 poker package to play in that event at the end of this year. So, True Blastic TE’s and Poker Go try to send you to Las Vegas. So again to finish that up now this is the second day two flight every single day 10 hours of play but because there’s so many players we have multiple starting days four to be exact this is the second day two and then starting tomorrow on day three every single player that still has chips will be playing at the same time it’s like a different and if you make day four you’ll be guaranteed at least I don’t know a $20,000 payout doubling your money no idea never heard of it from a couple bucks if there’s the uh payouts will continue to increase. Overnight oats is completely random. Yeah, the true classic charts are good. I like their shirts. True classics. Yeah. Yeah, they’re pretty good. Got to talk about with a $2 dono. Yeah, Dan Coleman did have an insane run. Yeah. Went in the one drop obviously. Great guy. I was able to interview him. quite a few times. Not your not your not your standard poker pro back when he was playing a lot. Uh Dre here raising the 2300. Uh blinds increase every two hours. Really haven’t had much. There hasn’t been much good TV hands here. We haven’t had much good TV as far as like big big pot big pots. Yeah, you were the second at least we’re in the secondary though. The one where he just bluffed me off is the only hand that will Eric Firestone living. I’m not sure. Looks like we’re going to go to Wolf Gang. Feel good time for us to say hello to this superstar vlogger. That would be Wolf Gang Poker. If you could stand up for me, please. We’ll get out of the way. Don’t want to distract the hand. Making me do my uh my exercise for the day here. I haven’t gotten up in three hours. Well, this it’s good to stretch. You got to get loose. Nice to see you, Jeff. Nice to see you also. Shout out to everyone watching right now. Shout out to A lot of people watch you, by the way. I mean, this is now more than 1.6 million subscribers. That’s correct. You have moved from like doing everything on your phone, you still got your phone, to like a whole camera crew. What’s that like? I It makes me feel very important, but honestly, I don’t know if I should feel important. I mean, I got half a starting stack here, Jeeoff. I tried to enter at the very last moment in order to give myself the best chance to be the most fresh, and now I wish I waited another what, hour to enter. What do we hear from every single chance? Yeah, I was down to 10 bigs on day one on day two. There is plenty of time to spend. I I know it’s mostly cash games for you, but come on. After finishing fourth in a Triton event, you got to feel the love for tournaments a little bit more. So, you know what’s funny about that? Obviously, incredible result. I ran really well. Shout out to all my filmers and everyone that helped me with that. But, you know, the guy that knocked me out, Jeremy Osmus, he’s literally two tables away in direct eyesight of me. This could be the moment for revenge. The guy that knocked me out of the biggest tournament of my life has to be in direct eyesight for my entire day. It’s kind of a little needle, but the poker gods, they’re going to reward me with some double-ups. I I have a feeling. Yeah, I think so, too. Do you think Jeremy Osmus remembers that moment at all? No. And you think about it every day? I think about it every day. I followed him on Instagram afterwards because he was such a nice guy and I I kind of want to unfollow him now because it’s like you just post all of his accolades and his winning and wins wins wins, you know? Yeah. When you’re friends with Jason [ __ ] and all those guys, it’s hard not to be a winner, right? Got good news for you. He’s had a bad series so far. I’m going to send you back to the action. No, no. Yep. Terrible series so far for Thanks for the time, Wolf Gang. Always appreciate it. You got it, guys. Wolf Gang Poker in the mix. Obviously, his content. Why you do this? Usually never as long as these incredibly do this to me tough days in the main event. Mostly communicates through 60second shorts. So, I wonder I wonder how he’s going to document his journey in this event. Uh, of course, Wolf Gang also played on No Gamble No Future this past season. If you want to watch that, you can find it on pokco.com. But Wolf Gang looking the part. I like that outfit. And Hadad here with a very interesting flop. Open-ended and a flush draw. Sadly for him, not much out there for Lan. No, Linen has options. It’s a very small bet. He has a gut shot. He has a back door flush draw. So, I expect Jack six of clubs to call here. But you’re right. Had the range advantage. This flop is all over. But Lucan, look, you both have 100k plus. Your opponents bet a fourth of the pot. It’s 1,500 to win 9K. You can’t fold stuff like this. We’re dealing with a bunch of nits here. Remco. Oh, man. And he gets shown this. It’s too friendly. The game is too friendly. I don’t know if Yeah, maybe too friendly is the word. And And you do see this. And two spaces. Two spaces. Wait. Two clubs. Two clubs. Two clubs. Sorry. So look, you had plenty of equity to call here. You could hit a king. You could hit a club. It was a very small bet. If that bet was half pots or greater, then I say, “Yeah, okay. Get out the way.” But when you’re when someone’s betting a fourth of the pot, like you shouldn’t fold much equity. It’s it’s it’s pleasure play with you. But we see a lot of kumbayang going on here. Yeah, it seems it seems almost too home gamey at times. I mean, this is kind of the nature of the main, though. No, but it’s funny because you look at the rugby table from last night with Chad Powers. Much more of a ruthless vibe, you know, in that in that in that very moment. Right now, these two tables seem to be laidback, easygoing. Um, also, you know, the play has been fairly tight so far. I haven’t also seen many, you know, massive hands clash clash, but that’s also the nature of the main event. Sometimes things just move slow. Yeah. The the higher caliber player you have like in the group, then you’re going to see those guys play more hands, be more honest, play more balanced. When you have more amateurs in the mix, those are the people that are going to try to avoid. They play avoidance, right? They play small ball. as we see one of the most prominent poker players over the last few years, Jeremy Osmus. Just an unbelievable talent here. Yeah, Osmus, the he’s awesome. The PGD player of the year who had an incredible 2024. Um, dealing with a bit of a rough summer. Obviously, the main can get him unstuck in uh just a couple of days, but rough summer, it’s never easy. He’s isn’t He’s still up a couple million this year. Well, I I think he’s having his worst World Series of Poker. Well, that’s expected. I mean, there are waves of variance in this game, especially when you play MTTS. And he’s been very fortunate in the last few years to have high very good success. Like even last year, didn’t was it last year or two years ago? I don’t know. I I I rely on you and Donnie to know all the poker facts and I need to do my own research. But but anyway, all I’m saying is that it’s very unexpected to see someone continuously win like Jesse Lonis. This guy just wins a tournament every other day. I don’t know how they do it. And Alex Fox and I see him at every final table. I don’t know how these guys do it. It’s do they just play that much or are they just that good or are they on the side of variance that rewards this upper echelon statistical outlier? Um, so it’s kind of expected to see some people have their time in the sun and then the sun run slow down a bit because there’s that many good poker players too is what I want to say. Back to back to table two here as Linster takes one down. Adena, by the way, quietly up to 220k. Zang on 235. They are both cruising along here in the main events. Martin Sadeno, longtime pro from the UK. He’s got quite a few titles under his belt, also made some runs in the main event. Eduardo and Fisherman, why is everyone so serious? Just a boring table. Look, this is just the start of day two. You guys got to understand this is like an 8 to 10 day tournament. It’s such a long festival. So, it’s kind of like a marathon. You don’t see the marathon runners just blow their load right away and just not have anything for the end. So, you know, you’re just going to see a lot of passivity. You’re going to see a lot of trying to feel out your players. They’re going to learn and not take any risk. So, yeah, you probably are going to see people be a little boring and be a little tight on average here. Janky Name said, “Poor Donnie paid infinite for Osmus in 25k fantasy.” Donnie, what what have you uh heard from Ospus on his summer? Not good. I mean, he’s just losing, but those are the breaks. But he’s I believe he’s still in the main event as of today. So, there’s always a chance. Always a chance. Cabrini all in with kings for 22,000. Zang next to act with ace 10 suited. She’s going to toss that. Yep. Too much action in front of you. And really good fold with two eights. That’s kind of a spot where you might want to consider calling if your opponent could ever shove worse. Um, but if you just think someone’s tight, that’s a great play. Blinds 100% call. What’ you have? I’ll tell you what I ace 10 suited. Yep. Uh, Donnie, I got 77th in the free roll. I might have got 777th. So, you’re ahead. You just always beat me. It’s unbelievable. I’m I’m a I’m a free role player. What can I say? Chat, don’t give me too much credit or grief for some of my word. And we’ll try to keep it PC here, but you know, sometimes stuff just slips on our mind. And uh Oku, who we saw fold jacks earlier, trying to make something happen here with the suited jack 10. Yeah, even though you’re short, you’re 30 bigs deep, you have all the suited broadways in your raising range to 4500. And we see Lan, this is so earlier we saw the ace jack fold, right? Um from atena. Yeah. And this is where ace jack is utilized. It’s in the bottom of the range for being a three bet bluff because you block someone from having aces. Ace king. You block them from having pocket jacks. And then if Oku is ever raised folding some stuff like suited weak aces or like king suited then they fold. But here he’s getting a great price to call and see a flop and he’s actually going to fold this which is okay. Um and that’s the beauty of three betting a hand like ace jack offsuit. You just try to put pressure on your opponents and if they have bad hands they fold. If they call, then you dominate some of the hands that they call with. Like I would have expected Jack 10 suited to maybe call there for only 2.5k more. And then you get to play in position with the range advantage. That’s what Lucan was trying to do there. So would you argue that three betting ace jack is better than calling aj? Yes, that’s my point. Exactly. When there’s an early position raise you and you’re in early position, you want to three bet acejack offsuit as a semiluff more or less. When you get to later position on the cutoff and the button, then you can call with ACJ off suit. Now, if you have ACJ suited, that can call raises in any positions because you don’t mind if other people come in or you don’t mind if someone raises because you might call a three bet with that hand. AceJ suited way easier to play post flop than ACEJ offsuit and way easier to play multiway than ACJ offuit. Clark now with 108 suited makes it 2200 and Zang is not going to fold suited connectors. She’s definitely the active style player who wants to get involved. Would you sometimes three bet a suited connector position there when you’re very deep? Yes. And that Linster, what are we seeing? AceJack offuit just fold. We are up against two late position players. You have ACEJ offsuit. You had to call another 1.2,000. I cannot believe this. How did I bust this tournament yesterday? Are you kidding me? Like what the hell? I I I agree that’s that’s a bit too tight. This this is you have the hijack opening on 150k. You have the button calling. You know, look at the hands these people are playing. You can’t fold stuff like ace jack offsuit there. You That’s a spot where you just call with ACEJ. You You’re playing You’re defending the big blind. You could even three bet that for value in that spot. Um Oh my god. All right. It’s We’re just getting warmed up. I love how tilted you are. This is great for the broadcast, man. Like I play poker against these people. I mean, they’re going to hear what I have to say about them, but I I don’t mind. That was just ridiculous. I mean, he Look, he only had 25,000 in chips. This is the other thing. He could have even jammed all in there, right? Because there’s 6K in the middle for him to win and he’s up against 10 high and seven high. If you don’t jam, you have to call there because you’re putting in 1.2K to win 8,000. you only have 24,000. And the other thing is your your equity realization. How likely is it that you can get to the river and realize all your equity? It goes up the shorter stacked you are because you’re able to just go all in on flops or what have you instead of if you have 100 big blinds, you might get bluffed or whatever. But anyway, on to the next hand. I love it. Cababrini finds kings again. 2,00 this time around. I mean, Zang is just she’s looking to play anything really. Look, and and this is to Remco’s point you asked me about in the other hand. If you’re on the cut off or the button, you have the the positional advantage, so you can have a wider range. Now, 63 suited kind of getting outside of that comfortable range. If that was 6’4 suited, I’d say it’s okay. But really, you don’t see that stuff enter in a GTO landscape until you’re on the button because the button gives you the ultimate positional advantage. So, whenever you’re closer to the button, your range for calling pre flop with wider stuff exists. We hire you to be you. It’s not corporate. It’s really [ __ ] cool. You know, it’s literally just like we hired you to be you. Don’t ever fake anything. Back to Mincy stable where Mincy is not playing any hands. He’s blinded down so far from about 100,000 to 80,000. You went to Old Miss, right? Four 4,000. Got 933 showing with O’Brien again holding jacks. Were you like a [ __ ] major? No, I was a finance major, but I got into poker and didn’t was doing well with online live poker. So, quick raise under the gun. Went back when I was like 30 or 31 and finished and then I got into sports. Your credit. Wow. That’s a super disciplined fold there from two sixes. I would have expected two sixes to peel one off. Maybe not that poker stretch, but you know, and then I got into the sports media out of it and then built up. I did four years of sports radio and like threeport Louisiana and I got and I got hired by ESPN Baton Rouge and then Bartool, right? Did you didn’t you like just get cancelled and then you got bar stool? No. So the cancelling was like two and a half years into Bartool. No, no, no, no. Not when you [ __ ] up and said the thing. Oh, I’m talking about the the ESPN Baton Rouge gig. Oh, yeah. I just got in that gig. I I got hired there and I was there three months and then I got bar and the ESPN Baton Rouge gig was what I wanted. Like that that was literally the job I wanted cuz I was doing like single A radio in Shreport, Louisiana. That was like fun but like not going anywhere. I’ve been to Shreport. It’s actually a cool little town. Yeah, every time there used to have a circuit. I I went to it. We were all there. Buru was there right after he after his [ __ ] made. Yeah. I don’t know if anyone’s grinded more circuit events than the Massie Brothers. I’m gonna be honest. Of course, he’s been to Shreveport to play some random WSOP circuit. That’s what I heard too. But yeah, I did that four years and then like I was trying to get that ESPN Baton Rouge job because that’s like the LSU flagship and it’s a really one of the top radio stations in the south. And so when I got that I was like I hope that’s what I do for five years. Oh jeez, look at this flop here. Oh, because that viral video, right? Wow. Full house for the New Zealander. Betting with the force. Firestone might be up to something here with the with the back door straight straight flush draw. Yeah, I mean he just offered me a job without an interview. Quick toss for him though and Nilson is happy to just let They told me I can move to New York South. You said [ __ ] it. I’ll go to New York. Yeah, just too big. Yeah, you just want to call there because if your opponent does have a big hand, whatever, an over pair, hopefully they keep just betting into you. Um, we’re doing it. But unfortunately for him, Dre just has a pair of fours. Everybody should live in New York once, which is going to feel really uncomfortable right now. And no, that’s not Patrick Mahomes. Everybody who’s talking about it in chat, where do you live? That’s very cool town. Changed a lot. Big time. I went there maybe like Ben Mintz 10 years ago and then went recently like a year and a half ago. It blew the econom the economic growth in Nashville is just the food scene got incredibly good. The food scene is killer there. The women scene the the women the women scene is something too. Well, cuz everybody goes there for their bachelorette party. She said she could hear them. Con says too big of a bet. I love how Minsy keeps talking about the women. the women everywhere. Oh, look at this. Harry Potter in the mix. Uh, 10 points to Gryffindor. Uh, gtwizard.com/poko.

Did he did the jungle bust or was he just like roaming around trying to find a seat? I don’t know. Repping it for for jungle man. It’s all on the table. Yes, it really he could be still in the tournament and just say, you know, I’m going to go for a little stroll. Okay, O’Brien with a third best starting hand, two queens. And he hasn’t been three betting in other spots, but here we got 6,000 in the middle. We got two ranges we’re up against. We have to three bet this hand. And we do see collecting chips. I’d like to see 10 to 12,000 here. Your three bets don’t come as often from the big blind. So you can have a bit bigger of a size since your range is more condensed. I’m not sure. So 8K is okay, but I would have liked to see a little bit bigger. Took Puff bought his piece. Yeah, Gordy took it over. Cough’s doing great. They’re all still running around. No neon getting out of the way. would expect Gra. I don’t know. I don’t know what I think he’s and that’s a great spot to just go ahead and try to win the chips right then. Yeah, he’s got if you get called, of course, you don’t mind. You got a really good I like that guy. I haven’t seen him in ages. Patrick Mintz says gamer.

We have daily highlights. We have the best hands that are being posted. Also from our cash game shows after the WSOP live stream. Look at this. Mints undergone pocket fours. Not even going to try to make something happen off the tight image. I don’t mind that. I don’t mind that. I don’t mind folding twos, threes, fours in early position, even fives. Um, I’d much rather see high cards in someone’s raising range like suited aces, suited broadways as we see Massie with ace queen off suit here. Firestone with the same hand. But obviously, if you do have 80 bigs or Yeah, we do see 80 bigs here. You can play, you know, fours, fives, you can play some small pairs in early position, but you know, if you’re not that comfortable post player, it’s a fine fold. Mr. Repco. I just think that with how tight his image is, just keep keeping him honest by sprinkling in a raise every now and then could be helpful. Whenever Mince raises in this level, the alarm bells are going to go off with all the players. I hear that. But he would be in first position. He has to get through eight hands. So, I’d rather see him be aggressive in middle to late position rather than in first position. course and Massie is going to have the ace of hearts queen in his hand while we see fire drew up my plan for the day. He just mucks and Dreie. Hey, look, that’s a sick find there from a a tight kind of ace tight image player there. Let’s talk about Mike Dreie for a second. He’s got 275,000 in tournament earnings from Newton, Massachusetts. went to the MIT. Oh wow. Got a degree in economics and probability. You probably don’t want to mess with him at the I was going to say, was he on the blackjack team? He might have been. Listen to this. Hobby sailed to Antarctica. To UK and back. I’m sorry. What? Yes, it says it right here. Antarctica to UK and back. I wonder how long that took. What do we think, chat? How many days would it take to sail to Antarctica to UK and back from Massachusetts? That’s like all around the world forever. He started a comic book chain and a punk rock record store in 1978 and they currently have 29 stores in the northeast US carrying vinyl, manga, Funko, pop culture stuff and more. They know that’s a bio. That’s a bio. All right. Over and out. Probably going to be probably about 12 days each way. Are you kidding me? I’m going to say it took it like 6 months out of his life. Yes, sir. I I know this comic book store. Newberry Comics. Yeah. Oh, okay. Cool. That’s up in your area. In my former neck of the woods. Yeah. Back to table two. Here we see Sashimi on the rail. It’s okay. This is secondary. I didn’t feel any No, no coaching, please. Oh, we got a big big board here for both players. top set verse the nut flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. And here’s how the action went. We saw Gabbrini raise under the gun to 2k. Adena just call in middle position. Hadad call and on the flop Adena bet 2.5k got raised to 6k and now on the turn we see a check call of 12k. So clean river for Martins. Adena going to keep checking. And is Had gonna fire another bluff here with the nut diamond. So a little posturing here by his top set. Now second set. And this is a spot where your opponent’s kind of representing a flush or a bluff with what we see the just the ace of diamonds in your hand. Now, there are some straight possibilities out there, but Martins on a safe run out is going to come with a bet. I’m kind of surprised to see this because I feel like this is a bit unorthodox. Now, this is a great play, Donnie, if you’re trying to get your opponent to bluff raise you, right? Like if you’re just going to bet 14.5k and my opponent like raises as we see a raise coming quick raise here from Had. Okay, now here’s where I go into my geek poker stuff. It’s 20. What is this? What is this raise size, Donnie? It’s 22,000 to win 110,000. And oh my god, we just see nines going to the muck. This is a blunder. Huge blunder here. We’re just going to see the ace of Oh, he shows the bluff. He shows the eight of clubs. Now, granted, that’s not necessarily a bluff because there’s straights out there. Yeah, but that was a poker fundamental blunder by Martin Zadena because when you are in that spot where you get raised on the turn, you can just check and comfortably bluff catch by check calling the river. When you lead the river, the only way you want to do that is if you’re planning to call because your opponent could bluff you. And let me talk about the pot odds. You had to call another 22,000 there to win 120,000 chips. If your opponent’s bluffing 20% of the time, 15% of the time, it’s an easy call. And now he picks up two aces after losing that 100k plus pot. The hand before with second set. Say that’s a straight just call. Yeah. I I feel like in those spots if you are thinking, okay, if I bet here and I’m going to raise with that type of hand, like that high up in your your value threshold, then I’m probably just going to check call. Exactly. You know, now if I’m going to bet and call with a raise, then I’ll do the bet, you know, to induce some bluffs out of some different stuff. But if I am going to just if I am thinking to myself, listen, if I bet here and I get raised, it’s kind of pukey and I’m probably going to fold. So, I’ll just check call. Exactly. You need to have very strong hands in your bluff catching range, right? He doesn’t have a flush there. And if he did have a flush, he could, you know, do whatever. But you can’t just throw hands like that away. Good for the Yeah, we’re seeing a lot of man blunders. I’m just going to say blunders, Donnie. I got no other words. Like, I’m out of this tournament, you know? I’m pissed. Like, you guys are getting it tonight. I’m holding nothing back tonight. And we see aces check. It’s fine. You know, you you you normally just you normally just value bet a lot in position there against the big blind. Now you definitely start betting. Yeah, Alf Gamer says that’s a great bluff. Look, if you’re getting someone to fold the set there, that’s a great bluff. But in the game that I play, that just is not a thing, right? like you play this balanced game like someone should be bluffing and someone has value. So we use math and probability to make decisions and then you you use this spectrum of where you are in your range right Mark. Yeah, we got an interview upcoming so I got to stop rambling guys producers in my ear. We’ll get back to that of course. All right, but we are going to throw it out to Jeff Platt on the floor who has found someone that Remco recently. Okay, we just talked to Wiling. I’m going to steal Jeremy Osmus away from the table so we don’t get in the way of a big pot developing. Wolf Gang was telling us how much he thinks about you busting him at a Triton event. Two questions for you. A, do you think about that at all? B, do you know who Wolf Gang is? I know who he is. Um, did I bust him? I forgot about that. I don’t remember him. I do remember a hand I should have called him. Uh, he bluffed me. It was a small pot. Blind versus blind, but um, it kind of kind of gets to me still. Yeah, I should have called even though I won the tournament. That’s where I was going next. We do remember you winning I think what Jason [ __ ] called a big old Triton. What’ it feel like to do that? It was amazing. You know, almost 400 players. Um those are those are the ones you want to win. You know, a 400 person 25K like they often don’t get bigger than that. So to win one of those for 2 million, you know, 1.8 or 9 million or whatever, really really cool experience. and and on the big stage of Triton, which is a special experience for sure. Those were the good days. The summer not uh full of good days for you. How do you kind of reset as you approach this main event? Um just another day. Just I just kind of take it day by day. Like I’m used to getting my face kicked in for for months at a time. Not even just a month, but like months in a row. People don’t realize that. They think like I’m Mr. Lucky. I just win all the time. It’s not how it works. So weird. From last WSOP up until, you know, February, that’s what happened. I just won all the time. But before that, I had a huge losing stretch. And since then, it’s a big losing stretch. So, I’m very um accustomed to to that stuff now. And I expect it. I look forward I don’t look forward to it, but I’m ready for it. Always prepared for it. We’re ready for you to turn things around. I’ll send you back to the action. Appreciate the time as always. Thanks, man, guys. Appreciate that, Jeff. That is Jeremy Osmus. Yeah, he won the Triton 25K. $1.892 million. Almost 400 entries. I believe it was 391 in that field. Now, Jeremy hasn’t done a whole much this summer, but he does have 1, two, three, four, five, six, seven cashes. It’s not that bad. It’s not that bad. But for Jeremy, we just I feel like we just hold Jeremy Austin to a higher standard. Okay, but look, Donnie, look. like you weren’t here when I was bitching a little bit. But the guy in this year is what you won a 25k high roller seven in a high roller 12th 6 7 I mean look how many times do these guys expect to win tournaments I don’t all the time all the time that’s why you show up man come on I know I try to win tournaments but how do you guys do it how do you win every other tournament you play I just don’t know how I will say I I do remember that not this recent losing streak but the previous one that Jeremy was on because he was in the studio playing a lot of PGT events and you know before last season on the PGT when he was the player of the year and then went on to win the championship event but before that it was a long time when he was showing up every single day in the studio and just losing losing losing. So, you know, you you don’t always see that, you know, and a lot of these guys, they they’ll say, I have a lot of very high stakes friends, they talk about down swings, and they say, you know, they’re not really worried until it gets to maybe 50 or 60 buyins of a down swing. So, that can just give you an idea of how long you can go without winning. Let’s pick up the action here on 963 because we got a couple big hands involved. We got kings for O’Brien. We got tens for Graham. It’s all right. I’m not at the table. It’s fine. Got top pair with queen kicker. Graham is the one betting with 2500. Graham was the opener. O’Brien just trapped with two kings. That’s kind of unorthodox cuz you want to start thinning the field, right? You don’t want to play four ways with these big hands. But sometimes you can have traps. I don’t really I’m just smelling it. Love this call. If you’re going to slow play kings pre flop, I like to see Oh. Oh, but wait. The trap has been set and the trap has been set and the trap is working as well. Ibara steps right into it with a jam here. Now, this is going to be a very tricky spot for Graham who’s like stuck in the middle here. Look, Graham probably thinks he’s got the best hand. So, he should definitely call here. He does call. Now, if you’re O’Brien, this is where you can’t be like, “Oh, I don’t know what to do.” You’re slow playing kings, my friend. You the one of these guys could have nine a nine. One of these guys could have a flush draw. Graham could still have 9x, tens, jacks, queens. So, if you’re sitting here with kings and you’ve played it this passively, you definitely cannot fold. You have to at least call. And I wouldn’t even be surprised if going allin is a great play right now. This is just ridiculous. We’re about to see Kings hit the muck. I’m Donnie. I got to go. I’m out of here. In a lot of ways, you know, I’m out of here. I’m with you on O’Brien. This is what you wanted to see. What are you doing? You have the second best hand. He’s going to be sick when he sees these hands. Look at this. They’re about to turn them over. Let’s see. So, they’re going to they’re going to correct the pot here. And then they’re going to turn these hands over, of course, because this is an allin and a call. And O’Brien’s going to see it. He folded the best hand. Look, he immediately turns to Eizen. And you I I can’t see his face because he’s got the mask on, but I’m guessing he said something along the lines of like I I had the best hand rifle. The best handles. This is why go Golden Knights. Don’t go to Don’t go to University of Florida. Look, what are we doing here? You slowplayed Kings and we’re we’re only all in here for 18 bigs from the big blind. Like, man, this is just disaster. Seven on the turn. That keeps the 10’s best for Graham. He’s got to fade a queen or a nine on the river. Another seven. So, we’re going to see say goodbye to Iber and Graham takes that pot. He’s going to climb up to 160k or 126k. I’m just messing up all over the place. Let’s go. Please get back in here. I keep screwing up. Look, Graham Anthony only has $277 in tournament winnings. He’s only cashed one tournament in Coconut Creek in 2021. That’s unreal. He is from Florida. So, shout out to my fellow Flityians. But great pickup there for Graham. And somehow we had King’s Fold. All right, little reminder here that Poker’s NAP is coming back to Las Vegas in November of this year. Massive buys ranging from 50K down to 300 bucks and a plethora of events on tap. Not only no limit holding, but I’ve heard there’s also some mixed games coming. So, please join us at Resorts World. They got a 5K 8 game on the schedule. Oh, wow. Can I Can I borrow some money? I think they also have a It’s either 300 or $500 version of that as well. Okay, that that’s more up my go. Uh, I just saw Jason Somerville and Wolf Gang out in the field on the wide shot. Uh, still so many players out there trying to make it happen. Hopefully, we get to check in on those guys in just a minute. And and I know I’m giving a lot of heat here to Graham. You know, it’s just frustrating because Oh, yeah. I mean, to O’Brien. Sorry to Scott O’Brien. Mr. O’Brien, he never played a hand. It was like he never got involved at all. You know, I’m seeing if I see any conversation, but you want to just three bet kings pre flop because you don’t want to play multiway. He could have wanted He could have maybe doubled up there with against two tens if it was just heads up, right? You three bet someone with tens, they call. It’s a nine half flop. You bet. They maybe raise or whatever. You make money by raising your good hands. So, when you trap and slow play, when you’re up against a wide range and then an under the gun range who can still have worse hands, you can’t ever play that passively. But, you know, I understand I’m dealing with people that aren’t as experienced and stuff, but it’s just crazy to see. And here we see Adena with top two against Linster. This could get very very exciting. Big sweat here for Linster’s tournament life. He needs a king or a four. This already allin as we arrive. Spade coming in. Chop possible now. A fifth spade would chop this thing. Linster looking for a four or a three. And this is really unlucky for Lster. trap pre flop and then the eight on the river is going to seal it. Mike Linster eliminated. Martin Zena raking in the big one here. He now back up to 218. You’re a king’s killer. Yeah, he trapped pre flop. He just called a raise from Martins in the small blind there. And unfortunately Martins got really lucky. Flop two pair and I don’t blame Linster for going broke there. Huh? I don’t think this is your flush. Yeah, it is my flush. A3 parent of flush. He just focus $2 donation saying this is painful to watch. I guess I I guess I guys have no idea. See, he told me don’t slow play. He’s never We’ve seen some of the most but then he did it himself. Tightest played hands. We just saw kings hit the muck right post flop and there was the best hand by far. Mari AC with a 50 Poko YouTube sub gift. Much appreciated. Mari, by the way, donated 100 subs in the chat yesterday as well. So, lots of respect, buddy. That is awesome. Uh, by the way, if you’re enjoying the coverage, please hit the like button, subscribe to the channel. Uh, I am told that in just, let me get the math right here. In just 6 minutes, nine yellow. We’re getting two new tables, Donnie. Who we got? I I I can’t confirm or deny. I’m just being told that we got new tables coming in. Okay. Well, I’m excited for it. Let’s go. I like trying to see as many different people as possible. So, on the early early days, you know, just get just get a collection of it all. Yesterday, you guys had the stars, of course. Today, we’re getting to see more of just a bit of everything really. Too hot. Yeah. I think I think it’s just it’s awesome to have this wide net of of players, but if you got one table that’s just going crazy, that’s always good viewers. Remember a couple couple days ago, we had two tables that were going crazy. We had the Alfria table and we had the Roma Lucette Jared Blessnik table and it was every hand was just back and forth non-stop action. So they were almost playing bigger pots on day one than we’re seeing now on day two. Yeah. So wherever those tables are on the field, we we need to find those tables. You know, this table’s loosening up a bit though. We do see players now busting so that’s always going to help. So Cababrini raises 910 suited gets called by king three suited in the big blind. Both these players are kind of short sub 25 behind. There’s a lot in the people in the chat saying we want Mincy. All you people I’m assuming you also follow Mincy on Twitter. Please tweet at him and tell him to play hands. Yeah, Mincy is not doing anything and he plays hands. We’ll keep him up there. But if if the table’s not wildly entertaining, you know, we’ll switch it out and we we’ll we’ll try and give you a variety. Great jam there by Davis with top pair. Just shoves. Picks up half a stack with top pair. Sean Mccraine $10 for the chat says instead of saying allin, why don’t more players say I play all my chips? You know what we do? Sometimes I say I wager all my chips. The other day I was saying I’m all in, baby. So I mean you got to have different phrases. I was playing last year in an event, the WSOP, and somebody bet and the other player said, “I put him all in.” He he covered by a ton and the floor was called and it was ruled that that is not a binding bet. You can’t say, “I put him all in.” You have to announce You have to say like, “I’m all in.” Right. Right. You can’t say, “I put him all in.” So they they they ruled that that wasn’t a binding bet, which is interesting because I didn’t I didn’t think of that. So Donnie, what if I say I check and I raise you? I mean, listen, I don’t know, man. I don’t know what’s allowed half the time. I feel like I learn something new every day at the tables. Chat, what do we think, chat? What are some other alternatives to allin that we could use? What if you say all you can eat, baby? Would that be binding? I think that’s binding. Depends. Are you unless you’re sitt Yeah. Unless you’re at Texas Day Brazil and you and your your card is green, like I don’t know. Well, the one that I did think was interesting the other day was when the guy put out it was day one and he put out a 25k chip. It said 25. Remember that? That was interesting. Y cuz I mean we know it’s 2500 but could have been 25k. Uh Zang with the lesser of the queens here. This goes check check. Now Goku picking up a flush draw as well. Goku’s been really conservative and again comes with the check. would have expected to see him bet here. 3,000 and Zang’s got to be thinking that she has the best hand here. Yeah, top pair that she checked back rightfully so. She’s kind of bottom of her queen X raising range from this position. So that’s why she checked back the flop for everyone wondering because she didn’t want to get raised on the flop. Now when she gets raised on the turn, this is a little troublesome because you checked back a queen on the flop. So you’re kind of in this queen X range that your opponent doesn’t expect. So I would expect her to at least peel one here. Maybe she even thinks, look, there’s so many draws present. Maybe this person’s bluffing me. And maybe she puts it in, but she does call. And now Goku, look, his hand’s super strong. Even on bricks, he could go for value. But that’s not a brick, boys. Wow. That’s the queen high flush. Now all of Oku’s patience being rewarded here catching a flush on the river, but little does he know that he would have probably been better off with like the deuce of hearts. Yeah. Yeah, he probably gets paid then. Here now we just see almost an all-in wager. This is about 11k into 20k. And Zang just has to Oh, easy fold. Look, no thought, no thought about it. That’s a really good fold by her. So, Oku now back to 36K. It’s been a rough day for him, but at least he’s still in there mixing it up. Mincy has uh played 11% of the hands, has not won a hand at showdown this entire level. Down to 77,000 and sadly couldn’t bring you any mincy magic. Did you talk about this personal note on Goku’s bio sheet? Uh, I have not. Where it says, “This is my first poker tournament at WSP.” I did say that. Yeah, I mentioned it’s incredible. Top of the show. Yeah. Unbelievable. And look, he’s not the only one. There’s so many people that come from all over the world to play their first WSOP event or their first tournament and this be it. This is the greatest tournament on the planet. It really is there. Like, yeah, it really, really is. It’s so understated. I can’t. It’s such a like I said, you know, the other day when you when you get eliminated from a tournament, you just become dust and you’re dust in the wind. But when you lose the main event, you you your your ego is ripped from your heart. Your soul is taken from you. It’s like Mortal Kombat. Like, who’s the guy that sucks your soul out of your body in Mortal Kombat? Is that Scorpion? Scorpion? He He has the He has the Yeah. What is it? It’s like it’s like the the spear the spear thing and he pulls you. Get over here. But I’m talking about the old guy that sucks your soul out of your body. That’s what happens when you bust this tournament. All right, these players are going on break. We are not going on break. No breaks. 8 hours of coverage. 6 hours remaining.

Come join me and Donnie. We’re playing every hour. I got the best results so far. 77th place. I’m starting to think you’re cheating somehow. All right, two new tables. Two new tables. My name is Rem Grinkma. Donnie Peters alongside me in the booth. Tristan Wade here for the analysis. WSU bracelet winner who is still on tilt from busting the main event yesterday. today and Jeff Plat as always making the people in the room stretch their legs. We got pads on the secondary table. Let’s go. Hopefully we get some insights from him on the hands he played via his Instagram channel later on. And what the fuzz is that jacket? I see what you did there. That is unbelievable. My skin is itching just seeing this. I thought I thought we I needed to adjust the the screen or something like it was out of focus. This is like some Wolverinesesque fuzz here on Mr. Pads. Kind of looks like your dogs. It does. Um, and the Blesnik killer taking center stage, Roma Loette. I have dubbed him L diaper. It is French Riby on the feature table with a stupid amount of chips. 531,000. Also present here, Lonnie Hoie, formerly known as Lonnie Harwood. One of the most accomplished female players in the game. And she’s got position on French Riby. So this could be one heck of a clash. We’re rolling right into it. Loette raising it up to 2500 and Hoie with Ace Jack coming right over the top. Donnie one hand. And I’m already sensing a lot more aggression is to come here. I’m so happy we started this table off and it’s got a lowcat raise like just right away. This is just perfect. I think he came into the day with like 280. So yes, how what did he do? I don’t understand. This guy is out of his mind. I have a I have a a note on this uh situation. Uh one of our producers on the floor, Keegan, posted in our production chat that when the production team told this table, they were moving up to the feature table that C7, which would be Quack, said, “I told you to stop being crazy and get in the chip lead.” because clearly he did not want to play on the feature table. Well, here you have it. 530k French rugby. He’s going to try to make some magic happen. And we’re coming over the top of the for bet. This table is already paying off. It’s already more aggressive than the entire first two hours. Pressure now on Hoie. And let me just tell everyone who doesn’t know who we’re looking at right here. Lonnie Huey, unreal poker talent. one of the best female poker players on the planet. And she is a gangster. She does not back down from anybody. I’m going to tell you that right here. She has put it in my face plenty of times over the years. So, let’s see how she decides to navigate because she does not back down. I promise you that. In this case though, she’ll find a better spot. It would have been perfect alignment if she had jammed there, but obviously in the main, there’s going to be better spots than playing a high variant situation versus the man who has not folded a hand uh in the first 20 hours of this tournament. Look, she’s in position. She’s two to his left. She can find and pick her spots, but she’s pissed. Look at that face. She’s not going to she’s not going to let that stand. I tell you this, Roma Loette’s nickname, Risk. Risk. There we go. It’s better. that that adds up completely. Um, we have swapped tables. In case you’re just tuning in, this is the second uh streaming level for us of the day headlined by the chip leader, Sebastian. Was it is it Sebastian? I I want to keep calling him Sebastian. Uh, Roma, right? Roma. Roma loquet. All right, let’s leaper as you said. Leiper. Exactly. the French rugby who has absolutely positively one gear and one gear only. Yeah, I remember on day one when we were doing the cover job, I was like, “Oh, you can maybe fold kings to this guy. It’s a spot where nobody’s five bet bluffing.” And you know, this guy’s just put made me put my foot in my mouth because he’s one of the most insane players we’ve seen in this main event. But I also think it’s important in I mean in this tournament more so than any other one, but in a lot of tournaments when when you’re feeling it and you’re hot and people are backing down from you, you have to just take advantage of that situation. And clearly Loette is like he knows that like he’s in the zone and no one wants to mess with him right now. So he could kind of do no wrong, which is great. And Bagdalon Bagd Leon, he is doing a little his own big stack magic here. He’s the next biggest stack at the table to Lquet. And he’s finding a nice little three bet semiluff here with king queen offsuit. He gets Lonnie to fold king queen off. But guac. Guac. I love guac. Add guac. Please. Oh, I thought that would be a great spot to call with acejack suited. Surely we want to play that kind of stuff in position. But how does that small three bet get through? Okay, the chip leaders are just taking having their way at this table, I guess. CJ in the chat says, “Actual three betting. Thank the Lord.” Yeah, sometimes you you swap tables and you find a gem here. And uh this table so far off to a good start. In case you didn’t notice, we have pads on our secondary table. Do we? Oh my god. I’m I’m even more excited. Let’s go. He’s been sharing some hand histories on his social media accounts and and there’s there have been some fun stuff happen at that table, too. So, we could be in for a treat. Look, this is the third pot we’ve seen Lonnie enter. And notice she’s kind of had the same hand class, high unsuited Broadway cards. These are good cards to play, to raise. You obviously just want to be heads up with these. You have good blockers and stuff, but they’re not that strong when faced with aggression. And Ivers makes a tight fold with Ace5 offuit in the big blind. All right, if you’re in the chat with us, please hit the like button, subscribe to our YouTube channel. We got six more hours of uninterrupted poker coverage. No breaks, no gimmicks. We’re just going to bring you the goods and of course try to follow up with some of the big stars in the field. Jeff Platt still roaming around. Fleming folds ace 10 off suit under the gun which is totally fine at a full ring table. Uh Donnie uh Don B in the chat pointing out Paul McGrill was the quack quack guy passed away in 2018. A quack at the table perhaps a little homage to X22. X22. Exactly. The legend himself. Yep. Bdalon with ace queen looking to get active again. Yeah, we just three bet the king queen multiway, but we’re just going to slow play here and just call, which is still reasonable. I’m very concerned here. I see Loette eating a salad. That’s That’s taking a break. He’s got powering up. No, Donnie, I just want to point out that players that eat salads, they take poker too seriously. I I just want to see him, you know, scarf down a burger, chase with some Sour Patch Kids. Before you know it, he’s triple range merging and and no longer no longer blasting off. Now, this guy here, Jacob Makalak, is one of the most accomplished players at the table. He’s got almost three million in tournament cashes from Poland. Lives in Austria. He’s been playing Poker Pro since 2008. And we see him come with a CBT here. King High back door draws. He’s got a first place in 2013 for over half a million dollars at the International Stadium Poker Tour in London. That was an iconic event. ISP. I’m going to go with Mishelock. Mishelak. All right. Thank you. Yakub Mishelak from Poland. You are my European translator. But also the chat can correct me. Mishelock to me just feels like that should be the pronunciation. Anyway, the king seven now picking up a flush draw. Yeah, look, you bet the flop because you have back door equity. When you turn that equity, your hand likes to keep bluffing. So, we see a bigger size here 8.5 and this is great. Now, this should shed ace queen. Now, ace queen is kind of in the higher up range of just having an ace high bluff catcher. You don’t block bluffs. You don’t block hearts. You don’t block uh spades. But kind of natural to see that hit the muck facing a double barrel. Yeah, they did. A great find there from the king seven suited. Andrew in the chat asking, did Lettin bust BZ? Yes, he was the one with the pocket nines making quads against the aces of Blesnik. Uh, and here we are looking at the tournament format presented by Splash Sports. As we mentioned, 120 minutes per level, five levels a day. We’ve wrapped up the starting flights. We are now on the final day two flight. And tomorrow, everyone will be playing under the same roof in Chase of the Money, which will be reached as as we have done in the last few years at the very last hand of day three. So, starting up day four will be in the money as we look at our chip counts of the secondary table. Patrick Leonard, 72 bigs. He is our headliner here. We’ll get you caught up on the personalities and accomplishments of the other players. But Donnie, for those that might only watch poker once a year, tune in for the main event, please tell them a little more about Patrick Leonard. I mean, Patrick Leonard is one of the absolute greats of our time. mostly frequents the online streets but has been dabbling much more live. Yeah, Remco already said I know you were out of the room, but Remco said what what he’s what he’s wearing. I already went I I already went on a tangent about the jacket. Okay, cuz that’s like that burned my eyelids when I first saw it. It looked like he was like static electricity was hitting him or something. I All right. Sorry, Donnie. Please continue. No, but known as pads. Um, you know, as I feel like infinite scoop and W Coupe titles, player of the series, all that sort of stuff. Um, really big on mental game, you know, really big on focus, playing your best every single time. Basically, treating every single tournament like it’s the WSB main event, putting your best foot forward. Avid studier, you know, gets gets in the the study streets probably more than he plays, to be honest. Hey, here we go. Oh, Patrick is the Patrick is the best. This a three bet. This a three bet. Most most always. Pads is a creative player. Maybe he has some other stuff, but no, he’s three betting. And look, I feel like me and Patrick Leonard are spirit animals. Okay, big big statement. It’s a big statement. Yes. But I might not be as uh provocative and out there as he is, but I believe to say to carry the same kind of feelings about poker as he does, right? I show up, give my best every time, study hard. I think it’s a really good approach to to just be it’s kind of stoicism for poker, I’ll say. Tristan Wade, by the way, in the booth with us for those that are curious. Bracelet winner. And I mean, Patrick Leonard, he’s just one of the best online poker players on the planet and very accomplished in the live arena here. and Patras with two sevens. You know, this is a spot where you could just call, but I guess he’s just concerned about playing out of position against Mr. Leonard. So, we’re just going to avoid it. Practice avoidance. I do want to issue an apology. Mike Linster earlier, remember when he folded ace jack? Yeah. So he got up to go throw something out and they mucked his hand. Oh, really? So he didn’t actually fold the ace yet. Okay. Well, I’m sorry. Sorry, Mike. So, Mike, on behalf of Tristan, sorry for roasting you for the tight fold. I did roast you hard there. I I I thought you knew better than that. So, Well, he does. He He got He got up to throw something and he was coming back to his table, I’m told. And And they mucked his hand, right? So, and then he took a brutal beat. He slow played kings blind on blind. Yeah. Well, that that’s that’s crude. So, I mean, if you think about it, a lot of people are just taking brutal beats to get busted from the main event, unfortunately. Okay, Rose in here with a nice pretty pretty hand. Suited. Broadway is always pretty. Queen jack suited. And the other thing about pads is he just loves the game. And I think all three of us are in that same boat. Like we’ve all been around poker nearly 20 years plus and we just have such a passion for this endeavor and for this what do we want to call this chat? Do we want to call this a sport? Do we want to call this a hobby? Do we want to call this a competition? I do like competition. Tristan, I’ll give you this. Depending on how you play Ace Jack, that’s how you define what it is to you this game. What are the levels? True. It could be a casino game. It It could be a sport. It could be purely recreational. True. Okay, so both players with equity, right? We see Rosen flop top pair. Oh, this is a spicy turn card. Top pair bets the gutshot and overcard calls. So, both players are playing exactly how you should play because both players had either the equity to bet or the equity to continue. Ace5 now makes top pair. Queen Jack can either check or bet small as we see, you know, and the idea to check is because an overcard comes. And look at this run out. Queen Jack suited backs into the flush. Ace5 suited. I mean, Ace5 is going to feel pretty comfortable. And we see them bet three. And how is Ace5 going to feel when they get raised here? Cuz it’s coming. Carrera Mesa thinking that the ace5 is going to be good here. But the back door spades, sneaky as they are, are likely raising here. 100%. 100%. You block pocket jacks. You’re not worried about too much two pairs or sets. 11,5. And now ace5. Now notice ace5 is playing aces and threes with a jack kicker. So, your opponent could maybe raise for thin value with a hand like ace queen or ace king, but typically the hands that are going to be here are flushes. And I don’t really think we’re going to see jacks or aces play this way. I think pocket jacks and pocket aces all just bet the turn. And that’s a discipline fold there from the big blind. Carer Mesa lets it go down to 44k and Rosen takes this one down. Santa, if you want to start the stream over, you can always just go back and start it over. Nah, do that later. Stick with us live now. True, true later. You know, you know what you can also do if you don’t have as much time? Like you tune in later, but then you play it at 2x speed. Oh, that’s intense. Well, I I’m not sure if it is because some of these decisions take quite a while. But you do got to pay more attention. Uh once again reminder that the pok playpoker go.com free roll kicks off every hour on the half hour. So 15 minutes from now we got our next free roll running. I am about to get in there and register. Have some fun with that one every single time. Trying to outlast Donnie Peters which I think I’m batting a thousand. A thousand. Try 7,000. Okay. It’s it’s it’s outrageous. Patrick Leonard raising Ace6 suited. Gets Ace3 suited to fold and gets the big blind to fold King N offuit. Yeah, it looks like Patrick’s stuck in like a vortex where he’s being pulled all kinds of ways like into the next poker dimension or something. Well, producer Rich from the podcast said Patrick Leonard looks like an angel. An angel? I don’t know about that. He doesn’t. He looks like he’s glowing. I don’t if an angel comes down from heaven to take me hopefully to heaven like in looking like that I’ll accept it. But on the table please what I what I find most interesting is when this thing hits the laundry does it does it expand or does it actually disappear? You can’t wash that man. Yeah. There. What do you think that would look like if you washed it one time? Well, actually, you know what? Maybe this is the result of washing the jacket. That’s a good point. You know, this guy might be too rich to to wear something twice. I don’t know. Oh, that’s that’s a good point. Call. So, we see Leonard, you know, let’s go. He’s got he’s jacked. He’s raising. Rebello calls for sure. Seven’s in position. We’re already seeing a different pace of play uh at both tables so far. Leonard, I I mean, I want to say trying to take control here, but obviously he’s picking up hands as well so far. But on the other table, which if you’re just tuning in, features one of the chip leaders in the tournament, Mr. Loette, his nickname is Risk, and he busted Jeremy uh excuse me, Jared Blesnik on day one, quads versus aces, uh but also Lonnie Hoie there, who has been known to apply some pressure. The table dynamics are completely different. We have two huge chip leaders at the other table. Here we have a mix of some, you know, somewhat accomplished poker players with different earnings and then Patrick Leonard. Patrick Leonard is a star at this table. So, I think this is going to be his table and people are going to kind of let him do what he can do. He also has one of the bigger stacks at the table. And notice this Patrick Leonard checking ace jack in a multi-way pot. When you play multi-way and you have these kind of spots, you really want to either check mostly, but then you play check raises. He’s not checking to just check call here. He’s checking to check raise. And this is going to put sevens in a tough spot. His hand needs protection. Is also said to be good. So, we’re going to see a raise come. I’m saying like 10 to 12k going with 96 8.6 8.6 six. So, a little bit a little bit less. And hey, look, that’s a great fold there from two sevens. Two sevens could keep that honest and and turn equity with a five, a four or seven. Of course, most people watching will probably take the approach where you raise ace jack, you flop a jack, and you automatically continue. Why? Why is that not the preferred approach?

He’s He’s looks like he’s got a healthy amount of chips. Oh, there he is. Hello. Hi, Kevin. How are you? Kevin Paul, of course, Cash, the main event, had a deep run, I want to say about a decade ago, but uh it’s it’s time now for another run. I see him wearing a Tulsa King hat. Looks like he’s joined the cast for season 3. Oh wow. Going to be a series regular as special agent Muso, I’m told. So if you’re a Tulsa King fan, Kevin Pog’s coming to your screen. Everybody loves poker. The the the assortment of people that partake in this game, it’s so plentiful. like you have just degenerates and then all the way up to esteemed actors and politicians even let’s say as I I joke there a little but just everyone loves poker. Uh Lonni who make makes it 2500 as we come back to our secondary table. Fleming with the call. And Remco, I know we’re in another hand, but you that was a beautiful question you asked about poker strategy and multi-way pots that we we need to get to another time maybe, but do you play poker? Cuz that’s like your mind is really why we should have got you in the main. See, my my problem is and I’ve said this before is that um what’s the what’s the saying again? Do as I say, not as I do. I I uh I can ask the right questions. I’m I’m locked in for the commentary. I do not trust myself to execute to execute. I mean, at least not as well. Okay, so here multiway, speaking of multi-way pots, the more players you are up against, the more kind of straightforward you should play. Um, but this board is going to favor Lonnie. Lonnie has the ace king, the pocket kings, the queens, the jacks in her range. So, if we want to see her bluff, she also has future equity. There’s one club, there’s one three. So, she could hit a two, a five, a club, she could turn an ace. So, we do see her bet here as a semibluff in a multi-way people. And the French riby lquet bottom pair, he’s staring down his opponent, an opportunist, if you will. And it’s a spot. This is dicey because Lonnie shouldn’t have as many bluffs really. And this is where Lonnie starting to bluff the flop. Now we get to tell this complete story. We pick up equity. We now have the nut flush draw. I am betting 100 out of a 100red here. And I’m going to force a three in a very tough spot. So Lonnie’s bets here come from like queen jack, jack 10, all of her club combos. Pocket kings, ace king, king queen, pocket nines, pocket threes if she had pocket aces. And that’s just an easy pickup from Lonnie Huey, who has $4 million in poker earnings. Someone in the chat was trying to question me, calling her one of the best female poker players on the planet. She has $4 million in poker earnings. She is a beast. Google her if you don’t know. Donnie, what did you give Tristan while I was out here, bro? He he came in here like this. I love it. I’m busted. I’m I’m busted. I got nothing else but to watch this event now. So, I’m a little jealous, but I’m happy to be here. I’m very happy to be here. This is just I love poker. But I’m fired up, boys. I love it. Yeah. The free roll, by the way, speaking of poker, uh, kicks off in 5 minutes. We have 500 people registered. Let’s get the number up to 600 if you want to come join. I got to get in there. Play for free. Play from anywhere. Let’s get in the mix. Playpoko.com. Sign up right now. Get in the mix. Let’s see if you can do better than me. What What place do I got to finish in uh today? Hey, a 77. 77. Got it. That’s why I’m trying to get the fields bigger, Donnie, because I I have an edge. The bigger the field. I see what you’re doing. I see what you’re I’m going to I’m going to have to unplug your microphone when the next one comes up. Bdalian on the button with a ace queen. Always nice and disguised raising a strong hand off the button. Oh yeah, you love to pick up hands on the button because you’re supposed to not have really good hands. Exactly. Um, Ivers makes the call and we see queen 10 versus ace queen on jack 79 with three clubs. Ivers with the the open end of the straight draw and the flush draw. So yeah, natural to see the out of position player check a lot. Although there could be leads in certain board textures and this is one of those hands with the queen 10 with the club where you have so much of the deck. So you could either check call or you could check raise. It’s it’s kind of your prerogative. the solver would say mix and kind of pick your poison because you only have queen high you so so sometimes you want to just raise but yeah okay call cool jack pairs on the turn now this is a card where the big blind does have leads too this now should favor the big blind in essence because the big blind has all the jackex suited and some offsuit jackex that the button won’t be playing so I think see Iver is kind of contemplating it and I love this this is An unbelievable find. This is a great find. Unfortunately for him, he might not shed a good hand like Ace Queen. Ace Queen beats the bluffs. Ace Queen beats the 10x, the 8x. So, let’s see how Bogdalanian and he just lets it go. And that’s why betting here is really good. Daniel Ivers 70k in live earnings playing poker since 07. He also has his online name listed, Beanb. Whenever someone has their online online name listed, even if they have no results listed alongside that, I’m just going to give them some credit there and say that they know what they’re doing out the field. Oh my god, let’s go. The legend. They let just about anyone play this tournament. Mr. Bren Hanks in the mix. He told me for days on end, I’m not going to play. I’m not going to play. But obviously, this man cannot miss out on the greatest tournament of the year. Brent Hanks in the mix. Love to see it. I thought you were crying. I thought you just broke down. Bren Hanks trying to make people cry in the main event. We see by the way Mr. Smokovich to his direct right. Smokovich who had a sick run at the book go studio winning the championship event in 2024 uh three excuse me. All right, so Brent Hanks in the mix. Um, Miln in the chat is extremely unhappy uh with Tristan teaching everyone how to become better at poker. He is doing that. I really am. He’s basically saying that poker was better when it wasn’t so analytical. As we go right into the action here, G makes a 65. Fleming comes with a for bet to 20,000. 60 off you. So look at these positions. G with the three bet from the hijack against the under the gun open. And this is a disciplined fold here. You know, you do mix nines becomes the bottom of your three betting range there. But I think if you’re going to three bet fold, you maybe just want to throw nines, tens, maybe even jacks or queens into a calling range against early position. But that’s fine. That’s a totally normal hand where you just don’t expect to be up against bluffs and you just fold your pair. Yeah, anytime, especially in this tournament, if if I feel like I’m going to be three betting and then ultimately folding to more aggressive action, I’ll probably just throw those hands into that bucket of call like you said cuz I just I don’t want to lose the equity that I likely have so deep in this tournament. So, you know, tens, jacks, nines, even hands like, you know, ace queen, you know, if I’m gonna three bet fold, maybe I’ll just call. you know, you play deep and the pairs are really good to see a flop with because when you connect, you more or less have the best hand when you flop a set. So, it’s really kind of unfortunate to have to three bet and fold hands like that that can flop sets or even that can beat stuff like nines beat other stuff. Nines, tens, and jacks really strong. Final call for the free roll starting now. I’m I’m in there. Almost 800 players. Dang, 800. I’m never going to beat you. Yeah, you’re screwed, buddy. You’re so screwed. Can I just fold? Look, we got gangster stuff going on here. Yeah, Loette is back to his raising ways. And Lonnie Hoie, who has had plenty of time to decipher perhaps what Loquette has been up to. Might we see some aggressive action here? Female Eminem could lose herself right here with a for bet for sure, but she’s just going to wait and not really step into it. And and I think that’s fine. Like look, when you’ve seen someone just never back down, you just want to have the goods against them. And look what he’s showing you what it’s like to have almost nine starting stacks in the main event. I feel like he wants to start laughing after all of these plays. I mean, the thing is is that everyone knows what he’s doing and he’s just like, I’m just going to keep doing it because you guys just aren’t going to play back at me. It it it works until it doesn’t, you know, and at this point he could double up everyone at the table and still be in the tournament almost. So, we’re probably just going to see this continue until someone stops him. Yeah. But Donnie, you know, you and I have covered the WSB for 15 years, and we just know that in the main event every year, there are those guys that start off strong and then they ride this wave of of confidence, momentum, whatever you want to call it, that that that gives them an edge over the field, not only via their stack size, but also because of that, I guess, intimidation factor. And and maybe to this is the year of of of of Roman Loette who goes by risk. Uh but he could also run up 2 million and then bust on day four or five. And we talk about him for years to come about the guy who gave it all away. Yeah. Yeah. This is day two, guys. There’s there none of these people are anybody yet. You know, they’re not in the money. There’s still thousands and thousands of players left. So, you know, don’t get too excited on these players that have chips because they haven’t done anything yet. Oh, I am excited. Let’s make the table. Okay. Well, he’s getting three bet here. And look at the size. It’s kind of just a 3x and 8 n suited. Look, you’re this deep. This is a hand that doesn’t always like to call three bets because if it comes 10 jack queen, you’re drawing dead to ace king. But we are going to see him continue. Totally fine for sure. Players like Loette, and correct me if I’m wrong, just look for opportunities, right? look for boards that favor a check raising range or, you know, textures that favor a calling range to just get get something going. And I feel as though Lo is very much thinking about what can I make to look believable. It’s it’s possible. Remco, we’re going to see how hard he goes because these are spots where like if your opponent has 10 plus, you’re just like drawing dead. So you don’t really expect 8 N suited to do all that much. Now it could float here. It could raise, but you know how hard is he going to go? Well, he has a back door straight flush, so that’s a good starting point. Sure. So we do see a call and notice it’s a very small bet. It’s a standard seb spot. He is going to be up against ace king sometimes. And and look, when you just when you’re just getting there every every hand, that obviously helps. That’s probably why he has 500k in front of him, too. I mean, we saw him we saw him put in six bets with nines against BZ’s aces and get there. So, yeah, of course, he’s getting there. And ace queen checks back the turn. I mean, ace king checks back the turn and quet just wins because he has the best hand. And now he can value bet because he can rule out all the over pairs from his opponent. When they when someone checks back the turn, they never have tens, jacks, queens, kings, aces. So, we’re just going to see a value bet here. And then ace king is bluff catching in a tough spot, but it’s nice when everything’s going your way in the main event. And that’s what we’re seeing happen right here from the chip leader. Lopez leading for 14k. And Ivers, judging by the turn lead on the previous hand, knows what’s up. Yeah, his opponent has a lot of pairs. his opponent has some ace highs, ace deuce, ace three, ace4 that all connect with the board. Now your opponents can still have sixes, sevens, nines, tens, even even jacks or queens to just call a three bet. So well played from both players and Ivvers might want to think about having bigger sizing since you’re so deep. He went with a small 3x pre flop. He went with a small bet on the flop. If you have bigger sizings against a bully, they can’t battle back that easily against you. So, that’s my advice for all the people who want to get better at poker. Continue to listen to me in the chat because I know what I’m talking about. I love it. I absolutely love it. By the way, my name is Reinkama. Donnie Peters alongside me as always and Tristan Wade, WSP bracelet winner, poker coach in the booth with us. Tristan, at least plug your socials because then the people can get in touch. Yeah, I’m Tristan Creative out there. You can find me Instagram, Twitter. I got a website, too. My website’s all screwed up, but people still contact me. Yeah, we have websites. I used to have business cards, but I stopped carrying those. Uh, you know, now I have a QR code. It’s actually tattooed on my forehead. If you see me, just come scan it. Buck Dolly with ace raises it up. Iris calls with tens. It’s been a fun table so far. A lot a lot of action. I was going to say the cards must have gotten a wash because we’re getting some better hands dealt here. So lesson on the button. You get to just call with a lot of stuff. You can call all your suited aces. You can call your suited connectors. You can call all your small to medium pairs. You can call suited broadways. You could even have three bet the ace do suited as a semiluff. But whatever. We got three qualified hands to go to the flop. Ace 104. And now Fleming flopping an ace Ivers with middle set and Magdalon needs to be a little cautious. You got called in two spots. You got two eights. You have no connectivity to this board. I would have loved to see a check here, but instead we’re just going to see kind of, hey, I have the better hands because I’m the first razer. We see a bet from two eights. I’d much rather see bets from like queen jack, queen king, maybe like queen nine suited with a back door when you start betting eights here. Um you’re it’s a disaster sometimes as we see both players behind him really connect. For a second I thought there Fleming was going to use the green chip, but luckily for him he just comes with the call. And Ivver’s, you know, look, he’s got second nuts and now that improves to a full house. So he’s just trying to keep as many people in the pot to trap people here. And Bdalian has to check now. And Ivers of course has to charge here. Yeah, maybe the idea is you could check the trap. Maybe you get a check raise out of the button because you know the button has something. You know the button either has an ace or maybe some broadways. But yeah, he’s just like like Remco pointed out, he’s just going to set the price himself. So he goes real small third pot to in entice an ace to continue. And that is an amazing fold there by Mr. Fleming knowing he can improve his hand, right? There’s aces and fours on the board. So, he can’t make aces up cuz his deuce is dust. So, he just lets that go. The only card that would have helped him was one of the two remaining aces. So, that’s savvy. Very savvy in a multi-way pot. He’s just expected that one of these players has like an ace jack. Any ace really, ace five, I mean, sorry, ace jack, ace queen, ace king. Um, but even like ace8 is drawn to a better two pair. And I I think Ace has to go here. But look, this small bet is going to induce a bluff. And Ivor’s got to be loving life right now. 16,000. Iver’s doing his best to look weak. This is This is the spot where you just flat and hope for a big move on the river. Yeah. Your opponent either has a good hand like ace, queen, ace, king here or a bluff. You know, they could even have like king, queen of diamonds, queen, jack of diamonds. Maybe in some universe they have some four like four, five of clubs, four, five of spades, four, six or whatever. But what is eight’s plan going to be now? More chips than because you don’t have any interaction with good cards. Like you don’t block your opponent from having a set of tens. You don’t block your opponent from having an ace. You don’t block your opponent from having ace queen or ace jack. So with two eights here, I think you got to pull the pull the exit plan. And he does. And 10’s just with an easy easy value bet. You just can bet whatever the hell you want to bet here. I’d say you kind of know your opponent was maybe full of it when they checked the river, but we’re probably going to see somewhere between 20 to 40k hoping that this person does have ace queen or ace king and wants to pay it off 36 36,000 into 50 on the river from Ivers and here we go Balon. onion. Nice hand. Realizing that he got a little out of line. Hey, that’s okay. Sometimes you’re just going to bluff and then you say, “Look, I got caught. I’m not going to lose anymore here. I’m out.” I think it’s this one this time, right? And I with some respectable play thus far. Let me look at my notes real quick about him. I am the banker. does have 70,000 in poker earnings from Stoneham, Massachusetts. Yeah, but he’s he’s the one that that Remco mentioned. He listed his online name. Correct. Yes. So, the purple one that going off what you said, Remco, where you’re like, you know, anyone anytime I see someone list their online name, it almost feels like they want to tell you like who they are. Oh, Bimba. Bimba online. Okay, I’ve seen that name. There you go. And the the two plays with the queen 10, he found that lead on the turn, right? There was that and then that hand there, you know, thought it was played very well. Sizing was good. So, you know, I feel like is is he’s kind of setting up. He’s one of those guys that I wouldn’t be surprised to see a deep run. You know, he makes a deep run. We kind of look back, we say, “Yeah, day 2D, we saw him making some good plays, playing solid. It’s, you know, it’s kind of expected from those types of players.” And he’s married to Sabrina Calderon. I’m going to assume maybe she’s watching. So, shout out to his wife. And he’s in Las Vegas now. So he’s playing on WSOP.com which I frequently play on as well. Stealing your money. Oh, I’m stealing his money. Uh Michelock in the big blind with King Jack looking to create the three action here and Lette involved again. This time with a nice holding. Yeah, three formidable hands here and ace queen 7 giving him top two pair for the Mincy fans in the chat. Mincy still in the mix. He’s on one of the outer tables. Now we rotate our tables. Chill pollen’s asking me my name on WSOP Envy. TPIP TPI. Okay, so we see nines hit the muck rightfully so. And King Jack here drawing to the nuts on a rainbow board. We could totally peel one off here. Although it is a little dicey against a chip leader. We’re probably not going to realize equity over two streets. Only we have to basically drill the turn. either a 10 of course or pick up some equity with a king or a jack or we probably just don’t really see much else happen here. Seven pairs the board and top two still. It’s a pretty good turn card because if your opponent just has an ace, they’ve improved to aces and sevens with a queen. So notice the size we see here. 9,000 from Loette gets Mishak to fold and the rich get richer. Load up to 546,000.

We are live until roughly 1:15 a.m. local Las Vegas time on day 2D here. We got Patrick Leonard on the secondary table. We’ll pivot to that table whenever there’s compelling action. So far, it’s been happening on this table here. I mean, this table has like twice as many chips. Oh, probably more. I think I think Loette covers that other table twice. Yeah, for sure. I mean, the biggest stack at Patrick’s table is 50k, it looks like. Yeah, they got about maybe 400k total at Patrick’s table. Look what cover covers all of that. Well, the interesting thing too with the main event being as large as it is and the structure as slow, once you get moved to a table, there’s a good chance you’re going to be there four, six, maybe eight hours. And if you get unlucky and you know you draw a seat out of position against a a tough opponent with a big stack, then your day might get ruined as we see Michel find ammunition to fight back against Loquette. Yeah, he’s in a three bet that and Lquet’s probably not going anywhere with Jack 10 suited. Well, we are going anywhere because we are going to check in with Mr. Kevin. Everybody’s talking about his 1,212th place finish in last year’s man. Yeah, go ahead. Tulsa King. Yeah, that’s a show. It is a show. It’s a very good show, I must say. Oh, I’m glad you like it because I’ll be in season three coming up in September. That is very nice. Tulsa King and the Rocket Pig. You’d like barbecue from KC, don’t you? Yeah, the Rocket Pig’s where it’s at. It is. And Under Armour. I’m just saying. I mean, we could talk series and barbecue and Under Armour, but we could talk about Rivering Quads. I was going to say it either had to be a sick bluff or a hero call, but you just you rivered quads. That’s I did. I I uh I did the opposite of bearing the lead. So I flop a set of jacks and I’m chanting in my head, Jack of Spades, Jack of Spades because I got the two red jacks and the jack of club comes on the flop. And then by the time we get to the turn, there’s four cards to Broadway. Okay. And I got a guy betting out, betting out, and I’m just smooth calling him. And now I know I need help on the riv. Pair the board, please. Jack of spades. Call me. And I got paid. Did you really? Yeah. By the straight or by a full house? By the straight. I bet just enough for him to go damn it. All right. I mean, he hemmed and hoged big time, but he had the nuts until the river. Well, that was a very good hand history report. I do my best. I’ll uh I’ll recap a lot. Four cards out there. I had red jacks. It’s great. Okay. Um what’s it going to take to eclipse the 1,212th place finish from last year that again the world has been buzzing about? First of all, I take that as a slight. Um, I’m three of eight. And as batting averages go, pretty sure that’s Hall of Fame first ballot. It’s pretty strong. We’re 15% cash. Yeah. Okay. Really? That’s good. Three of eight. Okay. Uh, and 134 is my deepest run. But let’s talk about 13 years ago. My first year. Yeah. Yeah. Um, you know, I’m happy like as held that I’ve got folks that allow me to come here and have some fun, talk to you. I mean, we could text if you don’t have time for this. No, I I actually have plenty of time. It’s you that has to go back, but before you go back, uh, producer Zach question. Yes. Because I’m sure you’re so used to it. Any, uh, any impressions you’re working on? We have to lob one up for you and hope that you hammer it home. Jesus. that I’m working on or just that you have in the bank. You know, the 50th anniversary of Jaws was last maybe eight, nine days ago. Never seen it. Great, great film. You serious? Sorry. Yeah, we’re done. Okay, see you later. Um, I got just this. This is for you folks since Captain Gray Suit hasn’t seen it. Uh, this shark, you swallow your [ __ ] There you go. That was great. That sounds like a great movie. Wish me luck. Send it back to you guys as we wish the best of luck to Kevin Pollock. Little check in with Kevin Pollock. I’d like to point out to the viewers that our production team is producing this in real time. They can’t see the cards. Uh, but we do have an update. The uh, Ace of Hand went three bet call and then bet fold. So, we didn’t miss anything. Back to the action here. Yeah, live show. The people who are producing the show, do not see the cards. We are commentating on a delay. So, apologies for any inconvenience. And if it ruined your life, then I’m I’m extra sorry. I’m just so sorry. It ruin just ruined my life that Jeff has never seen Jaws. I’ve never seen Jaws either. Well, you’re European, so I wouldn’t necessarily expect it. But Jeff, Mr. America, I know. But Jeff Platt is is is into U bridesmaids, you know. That’s his that’s his movie. And what’s it called? Um um Ryan Reynolds um Deadpool. No, no, the uh sappy romantic comedies. Yeah, but Jaws. I mean, come on. Even when you’re younger, like you just didn’t like your parents didn’t throw it on or something or like your teenage friends like put it on or you know what this maybe Jeff didn’t have any friends. You just triggered you triggered a core memory for me, Donnie. My cousin lived like four houses down growing up. He was six years older. Him and his brother who was eight years or eight years older than me. Him and his brother rented the Blair Witch Project on what VHS or DVD. I’m not sure, but probably VHS. Either way, they invited me over to watch I don’t know how old I was, but I could not have been older than maybe 14 or 15. I had to walk back in the pitch dark after watching the Blair Witch Project. It was only that’s that that movie was terrifying. It was Four Houses Down and I’ve never been more scared and I actually ran home. I will I will admit to that. I making an appearance here from Ramian. My tongue just needs to get used to saying some names sometimes. And like what? Keep picking up the heat. 5,000. It’s 5,000. Yes. Wait, he opened to five. Armanian, he says, “Look, raising the big blind, the chip leader in the big blind. I’m just going to make it 4x basically black.” Yes. With a little mistake there, but no big deal. He was calling. Yeah. Yeah, look at just wants to be in there as we see deuce 44 two clubs and this is a good flop for Ethan Ramon going to come with a small bet now and this is a little confusing does have king jack over cards with the king of clubs so you don’t really fold this kind of stuff to a really small bet but ace5 spades still good uh DC he’s going to feel a little bit more comfortable turning the flush draw, the nut flush draw. He checks back. Amazing. And now, normally king high doesn’t bet cuz it has enough showdown value to beat some stuff. But in this case, you might want to bet to get ace kings and ace jacks and ace tens to fold and stuff. You know, even if your opponent has like sixes or nines or tens or jacks and they’re scared of the queen coming. So, I think we’re going to see turn this into a bluff. He does block king, queen, and queen jack. And notice the size. Big bet. And Aramian is immediately uncomfortable. He was always bombing this river. Yeah, I know. Always. I mean, he knows too. He knows. Aramian with that smile. Oh. Oh, and an ace high call. Ace high call from Aramian not letting the chip leader bully him around. Given given how few he had behind. Holy. Wow. That’s a massive call with ace high there. He only had 12k behind. And look, that’s why you in a in a in a balanced playing strategy, you don’t bluff with king highs because ace highs can call you. But wow, what a find there by Ethan or Ramon. Says his profession is sports betting. Might be the only person that beat him. He went to University of Georgia. Got a he did with like uh Blair Witro, by the way, came out when I was 12. So, 12-year-old me for sure terrified of that movie. That’s always a funny situation, too, when you’re someone like Locette here at this table where you either win or lose hands and the other players are commenting to each other about you. Yeah. I mean, but you you do look, if you’re going to be the big stack and you’re going to be pushing people around, you’re going to have a target on your back. It’s just it’s just course who back in action with a suited ace queen makes it 2500. By the way, please don’t forget to hit the like button, subscribe to the channel if you’re catching us on YouTube. Uninterrupted coverage today. No breaks. We’re just going to run this thing straight through the end until the final hand is dealt. Jackson G here coming with a little cheeky three bet with the queen 10 off in position. He’s a software engineer out of San Jose. Originally from Nantang, China. And look, he’s only got $700 in tournament earnings. So, I’m going to say he doesn’t play a whole lot of tournaments. So, welcome to the WSOP. Welcome to the biggest tournament on the planet. And welcome to this pot against Lonnie Huey cuz she’s not going to go anywhere. This is probably going to be a call. I mean, the reason I’m covered up is like if she thinks that he’s out of line, she could even put in a re-ra if she doesn’t mind getting it all in pre, but for 50 bigs, we do see a call. And this is fireworks of a flop. G with top pair, Huey with two overcards, and then the net flush draw. We see equities almost running equal here, parallel, 47% to 53%. And surely you’re comfortable betting tens here, but you got to be a little concerned because your opponent has good hands. They raised an under the gun. So now for Huie, do we have multiple different approaches here? Do we, you know, generally take the same route with this kind of hand? Look, I don’t know if we got any rap fans in the booth or in the chat either, but if you ever heard Joe Buddton, he had one popular radio hit song. It’s called Pump It Up. Okay, but we are not going to see that happen here. Huie obviously could just call with Oh, baby. The spade comes home. Spade comes home. She makes a nut. She can’t lose. But the idea to call with your ace highs here in the flush draw is that like you don’t have to improve all the time. Your ace high can be good. But you could have obviously used that as a hand to, you know, move forward with. But it goes check check. And now she has a clear just value bet here with the nut flush. And G has a great bluff catching hand, too. So, I I expect her to get paid here pretty regularly. 27K in the middle. We’re playing six and 12 blinds. Notice the sizing. This is a near pot bet. 27. Exactly. 27,000. And you hate this if you have queen 10. Your opponent has spades. Your opponent could even have pocket jacks, pocket queens, pocket nines. You It’s hard to find bluffs because you block some of the bluffs. The bluffs would come from queen jack and queen king here in the suited variety. The offsuit ones don’t always call three bets pre flop in these positions. So, you know, look, if G can sort this out, he could make a great fold with top pair. Even though his hands a little bit underrep from checking the turn, he makes the call. Massive value for Hoie. She’s snapped, turned over that ace queen. That’s 81,000 chip pot heading her way. And look, that’s why you shouldn’t really get out of line. He got out of line there pre flop. Three betting queen 10 offuit from an underthe gun player when you’re on the cutoff. That’s that’s just out of line. There’s nothing else to say about it. It’s too many hands. You’re too wide. If you’re going to do that with that holding, your bluffs need to come from suited aces there. Your bluffs need to come from king queen offuit. You know, queen 10 offsuit too wide.

WSP main event day 2D, the final day 2 flight in case you’re new to the main event. Too many players to fit into the building at once. So, we have split things up quite a bit. And now back to the Patrick Leonard table. Pads as always documenting all of his hands on his social media. One of the top top players in the world as Donnie mentioned, probably studies more than he plays. 4,500 legend of the game already. He often goes through stints where it’s multiple weeks of what he calls a boot camp where he’s just study study studying with all of his bit guys and his close friends in poker and then he emerges for the big series. So whether that be a scoop or a W Coupe online and poker stars, whether that be something like this of course the World Series of Poker, he’s been playing a lot of the studio this year for a lot of those series chasing the leaderboard points. He’s always working on his game, his pads. Very active with all of his stuff on Instagram mostly, but all across social media. Also has a Telegram channel with several thousand people where he’s he gets deep in that Telegram channel. He tells great info. It’s great info. Like he really breaks down hands, he shows you solver work, like all of it. So if you’re if you want to be a student of the game or if you are a student of the game, I would highly encourage you to uh follow Pads and then check out his Telegram channel. Some love here in the chat from Doc Hollywood saying, “Thank you for your expertise, hard work, and fun comments.” He says, “Can’t wait to be at the main event next year.” See, that’s what we try to do, inspire people to come out and show us what they got. Obviously, this is the one event of the year that you can either save up for, satellite into, maybe sell some of your investments. It’s getting the mix. Shauna says, “Tristan, since day one goal is to bag chip, what’s the day two goal or is it still to bag chips?” And you nailed it, Shauna. It’s just a bag chips. You know, Mr. Peter sitting to my right, he’s got 20 bigs going into day three. That’s great. If you just stay in this tournament, you have a chance. That’s all that matters. There really nothing else matters except to just have a seat and have any chips in this tournament. We saw Greg Merson win this main event years ago. Came back from half a big blind or one big blind. Like, it does not matter. Just bag chips. That’s it. Raise 11,000. So, notice this. We have a a good hand on the button. Ace 10 off suit. A better hand in the small blind. Ace queen suited. This could be a big confrontation here, but no. Ace 10 normally wants to call and peel and play in position, but we just see a fold. So maybe just a little avoidance, a little bit of tight play here, but the real advantage there is playing in position. And an ace 10’s a pretty good holding given that you’re raising half the deck there. But, you know, there’s also like an every player has an individual battle against everyone else at the table. So, maybe you just you don’t want to play against some players that are going to play good and what have you. So, you know, we probably just see people on the side of caution here more regularly than than choose a aggression like we see from like Quet. Donnie, are you still in the free roll? I am still in the free roll, but it’s on break. Oh, yeah. I bust chilling right now. This is your chance. I bust this. This is my chance. I’m feeling good about this one. I feel I feel great. Let us know in the chat if you can outlast Donnie in the free roll. Rosen finds ace king suited. Do you guys Do you guys remember the the Furby craze? That’s what Patrick looks like. He looks like a Furby. That’s great, actually. Yeah, that is actually I I thought I did not know where you were going to go with that, but yeah, some Furby vibes. Yeah, he he looks like a Furby. That’s a good online poker screen name, by the way. It is. Uh, June makes the call with ducks and panda Lisa. Panda. Panda Lisa. I’ll leave that in the middle. Makes the call with 74 of hearts. We’re going to see three-way action on the flop. Queen 56 open-ended here for our big blinds. And Rosen. And notice his stack. He’s only got 13k. There’s 10K in the middle. This is a This is a pot you could just uh just jam right here. Stop and go. A little stop and go action. You don’t really want to check jam this over a bet. So, I would love to see 74 just stick it in here. Yes, buddy. Okay, we’re in a bet, which is almost enough. I would have just preferred an allin but this might work. Although ace king suited has backdoor equity here and does beat bluffs, whereas I feel like 14k maybe gets ace king suited to fold, but this small bet might get him to call. Richard says, “I wanted the cashmere, Georgie. I wanted the cashmere.” Famous Seinfeld line if you guys remember that. I hate Seinfeld. You hate Seinfeld. Worst comedy show ever made. Remco, I can’t talk to you. We’ll be We’ll be the dumb Americans over in this this side of the booth. You You can be over there. He’s like one of the most famous TV shows ever. And great great play there from the 74 suited by the way. Seinfeld laughs at his own jokes and it drives me crazy. His his standup comedy is among the worst I’ve ever seen. Okay, fair enough. There’s You can have a gripe with that. All right. Last time we saw him, he said it might be his last harrah, but Jimmy D is back. The lean mean machine. That is Jimmy D. I’ll do what I can. Hey, good to see you. Good to see you also. I didn’t know if I was getting bumped again for another movie. Yeah, we were right here and then Kevin Pollock walked up and I said, “All right, Jimmy, we’ll see you later.” It was Jimmy who after that, but we are here and I must say, you look great. Our control room was freaking out when they saw you on camera. Awesome transformation. What led to it? Uh, my nephew called me fed. Okay, that’s all it takes. So, no, that’s it. He rubbed my belly. I said, I’m going to make one more run at it. Yeah, we’re going to make one more run. And what’s it like to be back? Oh, I mean, you saw what I just did to the poor kid. I talked him into it. Flopped the goods and then I called my shot. I called Did I not call my shot? I called the the heater coming. Yep. I flopped it and talked him into a couple streets. Yeah. It feels good to be back. We’ll send you back hopefully. Is that why you got back back on the interview list? Cuz I played the handgun. No, I didn’t care. No, it definitely was not that. No, if I’m ever around here, it’s not for good poker play. It’s just for entertainment. Great to see you, Jimmy D. You, man. Thanks, man. Jimmy D looking lean. That is phenomenal. For those that watch No Gamble, No Future, half the man he used to be as we see Eigor Kirinoff in the back. Okay, we’re spotting some faces here. Lots of people entering late. Jimmy D. Hey, Jared Graham right next to him. Oh, you might be right. I watch. Um, but yeah, one one more thing here. Watch No Game of No Future with Jimmy D. At one point, he climbs on the table. Out of his mind. Like completely out of his mind. Jimmy, one of the wildest characters. If he gets a stack in the main, that’s that that’s going to be something to watch. Okay, so looks like we got a three bet pot here. Fives opening getting three bet out of position from aces. And we just see a disciplined fold there. the under pair. I like that. Well played. I This has come up many times before, the whole Seinfeld thing, and obviously I like to lean into it a little bit, but I do enjoy that I have some people that back me up on this. Um, so I’m not alone in my in my view. You’re not alone. Look, you’re not alone. It’s a very like love it or hate it. And it’s an old show, too. So, yeah. Okay, back to the other table. Everyone was asking about my favorite show by the way, The Office. Okay, I’ve rewatched that dozens of times. And notice Lonnie getting in the mix. Jack six offuit from the cutoff. Definitely not in range appropriately, but she flops top pair, gets a little pot control, and now gets a bluff from king queen. This is an easy call. and oh, she’s gonna she’s gonna have to show this jack like that. So, look, if you get caught with a hand like that, you better be aware of your image and how that might change moving forward. I do love how Quack sort of slammed his cards down with some frustration, which which, you know, that sort of signals to me that he’s tried a few things before and nothing is really working out and it’s maybe getting getting to him a little bit. Uh Lonnie Hugh has a pulse of 29 I believe. Just look if if if if I’m if I’m quack in the small blind and I just called with king queen offsuit pre flop and I see my opponent get to the river with jack six offuit. My adjustment is to three bet those hands pre flop all the time now because I can’t let someone realize their equity and see flops with hands like that. Well, who is going to get right back to it? Nine eight of spades and Donnie Loette getting a little quiet here. Oh, he’s folded two hands now. Yeah, I mean I’m I’m just saying it’s just a couple hands. Okay. Can’t play every hand. Remco and you I mean Yeah, you can. True. You guys are right. But here this is this is a confrontation. We should we should see a three bet now. And maybe it looks like a steam but it’s no steam here. This is a big hand and Lonnie also with a big hand. But I said the 89 suited is one of those rare ones. If you have 67 suited, 78 suited, you know, those are a lot easier to play because their flops don’t inter the flops when you connect don’t interact with your opponent’s range. 89 suited just that unique one where if it comes 10 jack queen, you are drawing dead to ace king. But you know, these are kind of natural calls and also perhaps some added Um, for the two, I don’t know. I I’m not really sure how to put this, but the fact that Quack just lost the pot and showed a little frustration might make Lonnie think that if she catches a good flop, he might sort of quote unquote spaz off a little bit. Yep, for sure. And this is decent flop. You You really want to see small bet because you can continue against a small bet. Had we seen a bigger bet here, maybe Lonnie just mucks bottom pair because your opponent could have pocket 10s. They could have pocket queens. They could have pocket jacks, pocket kings, pocket aces. They could even have like king jack that just flops the nuts. Spade on the turn making things even more interesting. Lonnie now picking up a flush draw as well. Now she can’t go anywhere if faced with a bet, but it goes check check immediately I think. I think maybe not. It looked like it, but no river card on display just yet. Okay. No, he’s okay. There he goes. 10 on the river. 98 is best here. And look, I wouldn’t have minded to see Quack go for another bet on the turn. He did have the ace of spades. He does block all the strong stuff. And now with ace king, he kind of is in a in a world of hurt here. Maybe he does some pot control with like his queen kings, queen jack, ace queen, but he’s just going to give up and see the bad news that he was out flop to the queen. Lonnie quietly up to 182,000 chips. Eventually, if I play hands with you, I might win money eventually. We see a smile. Yeah. Quack saying that I might not win any. If they play enough hands, he might win one eventually or not. Once again, please smash that like button. Let’s bring this thing up to over 3,000 likes. Why do we only have We have 25,000 people watching on YouTube and only 2.7 likes. I think you’re It’s your strategy talk. People are just so intimidated by it. Is it? All right, I guess I should just quiet up. No, no, no, no. We We Well, like the video and maybe we’ll kick Tristan out of the booth. Yeah, get to four or fivek likes and I’ll leave because I know you know then at least you know you I know I I I sound like I know it all but it’s easy when you can see the cards. Oh, it’s all in good fun. We’re appreciating everyone all the all the comments in the chat keep us entertained here on these main event days. By the way, tomorrow day three, Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks in the mix. Should be a fun little little afternoon of poker action. Oh, we’re coming up on the free roll again, by the way. Just 20 minutes away. Playpogco.com. Are you still in, Donnie? Yeah. Uh oh, I’m all in. Look, forget the free roll. We got Lonnie three betting the chip leader with queen 10 suited. They both have clubs and four five suited. Another of that hand class that loves to call three bets because you can stack aces and kings and all these hands. You have the board coverage when you call with this stuff. So, this is I told you guys Lonnie wasn’t backing down to nobody. I love this. This is a great situation for some action and it comes ace king three one club. Both players with a gut shot. This is a sneaky four five here because a deuce gives them a wheel. Lonnie with the range advantage. She’s going to bet this board all day every day and tomorrow and the next day. 6,000 to kick things off. And I have no idea what Lquit’s going to do. I mean he’s not fooled. Yeah, you’re so deep. Your dream card’s a deuce of clubs. Can I just point out that Loette’s gaze in this exact moment is very villain. He looks very much like the bad guy. Yeah, I mean he might have ideas to just start pumping this up, but no, he just calls. And I mean, yeah, it’s really hard to have a check raise there when your opponent has all the pocket aces, pocket kings, ace king kind of stuff. And let’s see how Lonnie navigates because this is not really the turn card you wanted to see. Your opponent does have king X in their range. So if if Lonnie had a hand like ace queen or ace jack, she might check back here. So we’re going to see a river. And Lquet makes the best hand with a pair of fives. Playing kings and fives with the ace kicker. Now surely you don’t really have to turn this into a bluff unless you want to try to get Lonnie to fold tens, jacks, queens. But Lonnie’s not really going to fold a hand like ace queen or ace jack. And Lonnie has to bluff now. Lonnie has played her hand like she has ace queen, like she has ace jack, like she has ace 10. And she would even check her traps on the turn. Her traps are ace king. Her traps are pocket aces. Her traps are pocket kings. So Lonnie needs to go in like a middle to big bet size here that she would play ace queen plus here. 18,000 comes with 18,000 just over half pot. And and look, this is a really tough spot to call with a pair of fives. Like you have all this other stuff to call with. You have all your ace X that gets to the river if you played, you know, your ace your ace seven of clubs, your ace 10 of hearts. So I don’t really know if this is like a find. Your opponent has to be bluffing so egregiously here to really constitute calling with a pair of fives. So I you know in in a normal world we just see a fold here but this isn’t a normal world. This is the WSOP main event. Now does this look like the guy who is only thinking about call or fold? I think the raise we can now eliminate. Yeah, it’s really hard to raise in this spot. Your opponent can still just be nutted when they check the turn. So it’s just a bluff catch spot. You have to see how often does my opponent have nine 10 suited, queen jack suited, queen 10 suited. How often are they getting after it with offuit variants? If they start bluffing with a bunch of offsuit hands, then I would say maybe a five starts to creep in here as a bluff catcher. But yeah, I don’t think we’re ever going to see this raise. You want a spade in your hand and maybe even an ace. Wow, boy. This is going to be something. Lette shows the 54 and the wows all around the table. The Frenchman who goes by the nickname of risk is showing that he’s got what it takes. Not scared, not backing down. That is everything going your way. Momentum, confidence. You’re picking off a bluff like that. You river the best hand. That’s just dream scenario. Well, Loette’s crushing. I wonder if we’ll see him at the NAP. Poker Stars is bringing it back to Las Vegas in November of this year. Buans ranging from 50K all the way down to $300. Scan the QR code on your screen to learn more about the 2025 Poker Stars NAPT. Once again, welcome to the show everyone. Appreciate you all tuning in. My name is Remink. Donnie Peters in the booth with me alongside Tristan Wade, bracelet winner, poker coach, and uh this man doesn’t back down from an opinion or two. So, if you’re uh if you’re watching, better buckle up. I’m just fired up because I see I’m I’m I’m reading YouTube chat. I used to never do that. And that that’s a that’s a slippery slope. Yeah, it’s a slippery slope because they love the polarizing um you know, opinions. So, you know, they want me to yell at people. They want me to scream at people. They want me to say crazy stuff, so I’m just trying to give the people what they want. Speaking of crazy stuff, the the Mincy fans are are getting what they uh what they wanted. In in less than 10 minutes, we got Jeff Platt checking in on Barcel. So, if you’re here from Mincy, please uh let us know. Smash like. We’ll keep you updated on your boy. Uh I wonder how many hands he’s played since he’s been moved off the feature table. Three. He played literally zero hands in two hours. He he he he didn’t do anything. He really he talked he talked a little bit with Ralph Massie and that was about it. He was too worried about Tristan Wade shredding him for perhaps making the incorrect decision. I mean there’s nothing to shred there. No, that’s what I’m saying. He just avoided that altogether. Let me ask you Tristan, how would you if you were at this table, how would you adjust against Laquette? Like like he’s clearly kind of all over the place in in a good aggressive way, but so how do you adjust against a player like that? All right, great question. I think Lonnie played that last hand beautifully. I don’t think there was anything wrong with what Lonnie did. But if you see your opponent getting the river with like four or five suited there, maybe he’s going to have a wider range that continues down. So maybe I’m going to start bluffing a little bit more frequently in spots that I wouldn’t. So for that last hand, as an example, maybe Lonnie wants to bet turns a little bit more frequently with her ace queen, with her ace jack, with her ace 10 for a small size. You don’t have to be big. You could still go a third pot and maybe that will get those like, you know, bluffs and floats from Lquet to fold, but you know, I think what Lonnie’s doing is great. I think you really got to be cautious because you don’t want to be too all over the place. You still want to play balanced. Um, but you know what? I probably just stay the stay the f out of his way pretty often. You know, I’m not going to mess with a guy where he’s got all the chips, he’s got all the momentum, he feels great. I’m probably just gonna let him do his thing and, you know, wait for my time. See Lonnie Hueie here with the raise to 2500. She’s under the gun. And another ace king here just flats. And this is okay. You know, under the gun versus middle position. You can have some flats here with ace king offuit. And we’re going to see an allin here from pocket twos. And surely I know Lonnie’s not going anywhere, but we might see the second ace king. We see an ace fold. So Lonnie now has to look at Aramon stack, which she’s doing that right now through the lens of those aviator shades reflective. Like I said, this is the female Eminem. This is 8 Mile. She’s running down 8 Mile right now. She’s analyzing what to do in her brain. Does she want to jam herself? And she does jam herself. And Aramon with one of the he snaps it off as a trap. I like that hand. And Deuces is in a great shape here to triple up. Deuces versus ace king versus ace king with an ace folded. I thought maybe wants to fold there. You know, you only put in two bigs. You got 60 50 bigs back. But it makes sense that he’s going to call there because, you know, ace king is a really good hand. Lonnie could shove ace queen. She could shove smaller queen. I’m fine with this. Three-way all in here. Hey, so how many greens short are you? One remain shortest green short. All in and at risk with those deuces. Best hand. Opponents sharing cards. How many green? Uh feel pretty decent about it overall. You’re five short and then you’re at one stack. Uh you want change? You want? Yeah. After you roll the hand down, it’s Got stuck here. Yeah. Just uh 50, please. Okay. 15. 50. How many is it? 15 or is it 10? Setting up the cards here to run this all in. Oh, 15. Cool. Thanks. These are the lucky chips, right? Yeah. We got to get the pots right since there’s two players effectively all in. G all in for 45k and change. And then we got this 100k side pot. 886 deuces hold. But now you got counterfeit outs that he’s got to worry about. Oh, with the flip. Yeah, disaster. Seemed like a fair flop since we gave you a head start. Yeah. Disaster here. Any turn card going to give more outs to the ace king? Always going to be more outs. Yeah. Yeah. Or sorry eight. No. No. Actually, no. Three on the end. So those deuces hold for Ghee. And he’s going to get a double or sorry, a triple up here. Excuse me. Finally, an Asian wins a pot at this table. Finally. And again, congratulations to him. Got his first and only cash in the 2022 WSOP Colossus. Nice hand. And he’s out here again playing another feels like to win a pot at a feature table. And that’s got to feel good. Triple up. And no big deal for Lonnie or Ramy. They just lose a small, you know, 10 bigs each. Deuces never lose, huh? Poker views blog says. That’s right. We got DDR. Good Gio says, “Malards.” Yeah, we know the malards. That’s Brent. All right, guys. Come on. Hit that like button for us. Let’s get this thing up over 3,000. I’m still seeing us on 2600. Two. It’s 3.7K. We need to get over lagging. Yeah, we definitely got to get over 5k likes, please. Amen. And then right after you do that, head on over to playpoker.com where you can find yourself fun and free emphasis on free online poker. Deal yourself into playpoker.com. You can also download it to your iOS device or your Android device. We are just about 10 minutes away from the 1 million gold free roll. The next 1 million gold free roll on playpoker.com. I’m going to go and register right now. You guys should do the same. There is no late regge. Okay guys, there are there’s no late regge in these free rolls. So get in now so that you don’t get locked out. Come try and best me. I’m going to try and take advantage of this one for sure. Remco and I got a little side action on it. Remco’s out of the room. So therefore, I get basically a free chance here to outdo him finally. All right. Everybody wanted Pad’s table back. And we got Pad’s table back. But Pads is not in this hand. We got Jack’s opening. We got a three bet from ace queen and an allin from an 18 big blind stack with the ace king. And this is a spot that’s kind of gross if you have jacks. 20,400, but you do cover both players. So what I would be asking myself here is how often is Patras bluffing and how often can Patras fold? You know, does Patras going to three bet me with nines or tens? Does he ever going to bluff with king queen offuit, ace jack offsuit, ace 10 offsuit? So I would So yeah, it’s a really tough spot for Jacks. I don’t, you know, have any good advice. And now ace queen can never fold here. You’re priced in. This is a math equation. It is 13,000 to win 45,000. You’re We do see the equity pour here, but you really hope to be up against tens or jacks. Um, but yeah, you can’t fold here with ace queen now. Now, it’s only a third. It’s only a fourth of your stack if that’s about right. But I guess it’s about half of his stack total. So, he’s going to think this through. I mean, if he thinks his opponent’s never doing this with tens and jacks and it’s just queens plus, then sure, you could pitch ace queen, but you even if you saw the hands, it’s almost your price in. Yeah, I think this is just too good of a price to call. You got to take the shot. Hopefully, your opponent shows up with, you know, two jacks and you’re flipping. Even if he shows up with two kings, you got the aces and over. though. The one say I will the one thing I will say Donnie is it was under the gun one and then the lowjack. So the positions are very tight here. Pandelica shouldn’t be bluffing like ever really. So I that’s that’s a fine fine ace queen. You look you got you got rid of the second best hand. And Jax just hates that. Like Jax is just like what what Bartol Mincy is back out in the field. I’m going to have him join me for a quick sec. What is that feature table experience like for you when you get up under the lights with all the cameras surrounding you? Well, it’s a first world problem because I’ve been playing this is my 10th main event and until the last few years there wasn’t really a situation. So, I certainly enjoy uh getting to play on a big stage and you know love everything Poker Go does. So, it’s a lot of fun. What I will say, you know, the day one, day two when you’re super deep stacked, you know, it’s a little slower because you don’t see allin pots like you’re going to see on day four or five. But, you know, I wish I’d, you know, I wish the level probably would have gone a little better, but uh but yeah, it was great. Well, along those lines, you’ve run deep in the main before, but a deep run in the main today would come with a bigger stage, I would say, with more more people on the the virtual rail. Is that a safe way to sum it up? I think that’s a very safe way to sum it up. I love the stoolies. I’m so lucky to work for a company where our fans are so dieh hard. I’ve had a bunch of them coming by on my rail today. We’re the luckiest people in the world to work for this company and uh you know our fans just they they they love us, man. They know every they know more details about my life than I do. It’s crazy. This I could see. I’m going to send you back to the action so you don’t miss and you outlasted Barcel Nate. So there is that. Yeah, I wish there would have been a last longer. Thanks Myus. Thank you for that. Jeff checking in there with Ben Mintz. Mincy. So all you stoolies, all you Mincy fans out there, there you go. I remember I met Mincy I think at WP Circuit Hammond stop years ago. Years ago. So I’ve known Mincy for quite a long time by the guy of the crazy. He said it’s his 10th main event. No idea. He’s been around for a long long time. Yeah. And notice there look folding king seven offuit on the hijack like as you regularly would. But I just wanted to note that like he’s not getting really that out of line. He’s playing good hands in certain spots. We got Lonnie Huey here with an ace going to raise and take it. Fiveminute warning to get into that free roll on play pokergo.com. My name is Pokergo Donnie.

Trucker 2022 asking, “Who was that guy?” Who? Ben Mintz. You don’t know who Ben Mintz is? Come on, Trucker. chat, please tell Trucker 2022 who Ben Mintz is. I’ll let you guys handle that. The qu like I said, not really getting out line. Got a really good hand. Ace queen suited. Big blind going to defend. Jack nine suited for sure. Status quo thus far. Ace king deuce. Top pair for I mean I mean listen, sometimes when it’s your tournament, it’s your tournament. And right now, I know it’s early, of course, but everything is working for Laquet. We just see a pot-siz bet here. That’s fine. You know, normally in that spot, if you’re playing people who deep stacked, you you do have potsiz bets in that fashion. Against a guy like Aramian, I probably would go a hand before Lonnie gets here. I have a shot of winning a hand. Go smaller. But interesting to, you know, have an idea of his strategy there. No shot. We are trending in the direction to have our largest free roll ever. More than 730 entries right now. Let’s go. Let’s keep it going. Let’s get to a th00and 4-minute warning to get into the free roll. Playpoko.com. It starts at 8:30 here in Vegas. That’s 11:30 on the East Coast. There is no late registration, so you guys better get in there right now. Oh my god. And the hands just keep coming for Lquet. I mean it’s it’s great when you have when you have the image that Lquet does. Oh, and Ivers finds ace queen suited. Hey, but this is what we talked about. Ace queen suited. Ace jack suited. These can just call and play multiway. And Lonnie here with a pair. Let’s go. Let’s see a flop. If we got two threes, this could be a big one. I mean, there’s still four more people to act. Let’s see if any of these players want to come along for the ride. I don’t think we’re going to see too many weak holdings behind maybe from the big blind and 95 of clubs a qualifier in the big blind here. Suited and connected somewhat. Maybe if this was a really disconnected suited hand, you might want to fold multi-way like a 9 suited or a 9-3 suited. And I think 95 suited with the added straight draw. You have to call. Notice the price. 1300 to win. 11,800. Great pot odds. And depending on this flop. This could be a massive all the players. Yeah. 11,800 in the middle here. Four ways. 10 nine deuce rainbow. There is one club available here. King safe currently and checks. Donnie over a thousand in the free roll. Let’s go. Two-minute warning, guys. Free roll. Play pokergo.com or download it on iOS and Android as action checks through here to the turn. It’s a queen. Could be troublesome here for Ivers. He turns top. Now look, let’s see how Laquet’s going to navigate. He checked the flop with a very strong hand. He picks up a gutshot. I think a bet is fine here. probably wants to start driving the action himself. He blocks the nuts which is king jack and he can obviously get called by hands like jack 10, queen jack, ace queen. So Ivers is going to lose some money in this pot. I don’t expect anyone else to continue here. Just got a comment in the chat from Yaka saying it’s pronounced low, not loquet. So low. We’ll go with that. Low K. That’s low goat as far as I’m low goat. I’ll say be low quiet. We’ll say however we want to say it. And Kings is good to the river. And we get a brick. So we’re just going to see probably a big bet here at this point. I mean, you could maybe rule out some monstrous hands like pocket queens. I mean, of course, your opponent can have pocket tens or pocket nines here. Queen 10, but I just think you comfortably bet kings. Maybe not a big bet, but 15 to 20,000. And then if you have ace queen, what else do you call with if you don’t call with ace queen? 15,000. I mean, you don’t love it, but you beat value. What if your opponent has queen king? What if your opponent has queen jack? Um, what if your opponent has I don’t know. That’s probably the best hands I’m gonna have here. So kind of a cooler for ace queen and whatever. You lost 16 bigs. So Lo wins. Lo. Yeah. Well, he can have the Loki villain name like the Avengers. Loki. Interesting. I like that. Right. He’s a villain. I do like his nickname Risk. You know how some players just have like their nickname on their jerseys? Maybe should Maybe he should just go by Risk. Just like plain and simple. Just go with that. How did you find the free roll on poker go? Play poker go out on the field here. Oh boy. Speaking of polarizing next level, we’re in for the Shawn Perry experience. Okay, he’s got chips, too. Of course he does. Shawn Perry, love him or hate him, he will bring action andor controversy, which uh that is what I’m in for. I I just want to see some exciting things happen here. So, next level. Sean Perry coming up. Little look around the room here. See if we can spot anyone noteworthy as we go back to the feature. And Kings back to back. This is not real. Wait. And what we see this is not real. A limp. We are adding every option in our arsenal now. Comes with a limp. Could you imagine what D this guy who’s in every hand raising non-stop and he just hits him with a limp. I have 500 big blinds. I’m the chip leader this tournament and I’m somehow just going to limp in early position because I know someone wants to raise. And look at these hands we got behind king queen raising. Queen 10 suited. Obviously a candidate to call on the cutoff. This is spicy and I love this. Wow. Like you don’t see this kind of stuff, but this is why you do it because you get the limp re- raise and this is an unbelievable result. Now, now here you got to ask yourself what kind of size we want to go with. Both players pretty deep almost 100 big blinds and you’re going to be playing out of position. So, I would like to see something like in the 5x range here, 15 to 17k because you don’t really want to screw around here. And this guy’s really pulling out all the stops. This is completely unexpected. Rising to the occasion on the feature table. Absolutely love this. Comes with the limp rea,200. 182 and Quark curious. He does have one of these hands out. Nice hands. He’s not going to battle. And that’s a great time to fold because just in case kings. I can’t believe he pulled out the limper race. [ __ ] Maybe on a WP main event feature table. This guy is the greatest. No, this is this is awesome. That is really That is awesome. He’s putting on a clinic right now. He really is like he can’t do anything wrong. All right, we’re here for the full low experience. Shout out to dogs. Not sure if they belong at the Is that the only dog playing the WSOP main event? As Zoe is really big into GTO Wizard, so she signed up for the tournaments. Uh, by the way, watch the entire 2025 WSOP main event on Poker Go. Daily broadcasts and starting on day four exclusively on pokergo.com. So, you better get ready, get prepared. We’re going to have Alina and Nick Schulman for the night shift on the later days as we go to table two. And we see Pandilika for 31k all in with ace king. Two players with nines. Let’s see where this goes. Tough spot. Alvarado raises under the gun. Patras calls on the cutoff. We see Patrick Leonard has a hand in here too on the button that’s not registered on the graphics as he readjusts. Maybe we’re getting an RFID reader here. But this is really awkward. Where did Pand Leah, how did I have no idea what’s happened here. It’s been raised to two and a halfk. Okay. Okay. A raise and a jam. Okay. So, under the gun opens. We got a 25 big blind jam right after that. And then nine’s fold. Okay, that makes sense. Thank you, Reco. And yeah, we could probably just hit the muck with this. Like, I don’t think this is bluffs. It can sometimes be tens and jacks. You have to ask yourself, I’m in first position. My opponent’s shoving second position. It’s not just me they’re shoving into. They’re shoving into the seven other players, but we see nines make a call. All right, all in showdown here. Alvarado thinking his nines are going to be good enough. And little does he know, he doesn’t have any way to squeeze out of this if Pand Pandelica finds any sort of connection with this one. You really? And I’ll just say this, nines was maybe the best hand I would consider folding here, just given that your opponent’s never shoving eights or sevens. So, but whatever. You’re you’re flipping. Let’s go. All right. Nines versus ace king. Classic coin flip situation. Here comes the flop. 10 six deuce. Things looking good for nines. In order to survive, Pandelica needs to find an ace or a king. Deuce on the turn. Not going to do it. Waiting for the river card. Seven of hearts and the nines will hold up. Pandelica hits the rail. Hey, and that’s why you call with nines. If you can remove I’ll say this. If you can remove aces and kings and maybe even queens from your opponent’s range, and you just think they have ace king or jacks or tens, then there’s 16 combos of ace king and there’s only 12 combos of jacks and tens. So, the math kind of checks out there to make that call. And look at this. Quack with top two against aces of G. So, it must have been raise. No. Yeah, raise to 2.5k. Really small three bet from G to 6K, which is fine. You want to get someone in there, but you don’t want to get out flopped. He’s been out flopped here. He’s going to need a three or an ace or some running runners. More and more allins happening now. The queen on the turn gives G more outs. A jack, a three, a queen, or an ace as predicted up on the board. Still 27% equity tournament life on the line. Can you find it? Queen pairs on the river and the aces come back to win. And very unlucky for Kevin Glock there. Um, you get it in with top two, you’re up against a big hand. You just got to hold at that point. But he’s still got 80,000, 60,000. No big deal. I’m being completely honest here. He’s laughing it off. We see him there. He’s got a something like Kings, right? Biology degree from VCU. Owns a construction company out in DC and players inside almost. In about 20 minutes, we will be taking a break. That will be your 60 minute dinner break at that time. All right. So, I’m glad that we’re in 20 minutes roughly. We will swap tables. No breaks on today’s stream. Going eight hours straight all the way through. The boys in the booth just received dinner. And we and some coffee. Look, Remco’s like, this guy rides his bike like 80 miles in a day. Okay. So, if there’s anything we could do, we could sit in here for eight hours because Remco’s like he’s a beast. He’s just an absolute beast. Funny funny side note, this I think is more tiring Pikachu than riding my bike for eight hours in a different way. Obviously, I took Tristan riding once and I think it took him two weeks to recover. How How sore were you the following day? Look, never go mountain biking took with Remco unless you can have somewhere. I know it. Padded shorts for your ass cheeks, okay? Because you are just bouncing around everywhere. The seat is hard as a rock. Planning it for like later on in the Yeah, I was hurt for at least four or five days. Let’s see if uh Lok can day two. We don’t need to be Fleming some more. Comes with 12 six from the small blind with ace king suited. I mean, say what you will. Lo has been aggressive, but he’s also been getting a ton of hands. Yeah, that’s the only way someone has 500k at this point. I don’t care how good you are. You’re never just going to have 10 starting stacks on day two of the main event. I if you’re just that good, you’re just not bluffing enough people. You have to make hands, right? We saw what he did to Ble. He took 150k from Ble that hand like that that helped catapult him to this position now. And he’s obviously just been getting smacked by the deck from that point forward. And some good poker, too. I’m not denying the guy’s got skill. The lovely assistant of Broken Quack is right twice a day. That’s That’s brutal. I think I Donnie I think that Tristan finding out about YouTube chat might might be the worst thing that’s ever happened to this broadcast. He’s so locked in. He is so locked in. I got Poker Go and YouTube. Poker go Poker Go has some of its own funkiness over there. But but yeah, it’s good. It’s good. This is You know what’s up chat? W chat you know like that’s what the streamers do, right? You got to be engaged with the chat. Well, what I like is how sort of you know controversial uh poker commentary is. Uh WSB fan says Nick and Ali are great, but this team is very entertaining. That’s all we’re trying to do is be entertaining. We’re not We’re not Nick and Ali. They call us the circus for a reason. They they have called us the circus. I saw a Reddit thread, Donnie, where they were I mean Brent and Jeff literally say this is the circus. Well, that’s good. I saw a Reddit thread about book commentators and I man I caught some I caught some strays in there. So if you guys are in here, I apologize, but uh yeah, strays for what? They say that I sucked, Donnie. I I I was hurting my soul. Yeah, whatever. Anyway, free roll. How’s it going? They suck. I’m out. What do you What do you How do you think it’s going? I’m out.

Just going to keep 19 bigs. Another nice one there from Lok taking it down. Gets the best hand into the muck. And look, we got 4.5K likes. We got 25,000 people. Like, we need some more likes. We need some more likes, guys. Please, can you just like? All you got to do is sign into your YouTube and just click that little thumbs up. Can we get like five or sixk in here real quick? Do you have to be signed in to hit? Yeah, you do have to be signed in. Can I Can I just point out that I put a poll in the chat over 1600 votes. Is Lok going to make the final 100 players? That’s the poll. Yes, 42%. No, but deep run 39%. Not making the money 18%. Hey, that’s a great poll. Donnie, what do you think? I said I said no but deep run like 40 45 it just listen again like Tristan said not not to take anything away from the guy he’s he’s been playing phenomenally he’s catching cards but it’s just this tournament we’ve seen it before Ramco you mentioned it the other day the Aaron Zang show dude we thought that guy we thought that guy made day 10 you want to hear something we’re going to get Aaron Zang on the stream later tonight oh baby and he’s got I’ve heard he’s got around 200k plenty for him Aaron Zang for those that know a couple years ago 2022 I think. Absolute mega blaster. Uh I think he busted just outside top 100. Absolute mega blaster, bro. He was out of his out of his mind. He makes He makes Loki look like a Nick. I’m telling you. Seriously, he makes Nick look like Alan Kesler. We’re not joking. This guy was played insane. And also, it’s one of the reasons why we thought we thought he made like day seven. He busted like day five. Yeah, I made those a couple times. And that’s actually really fun. Chips still good. All right. I’m getting promoted in the chat for YouTube. I’m really I’m like you got a like a in like a job. I don’t know. I I mean Yeah. Who do we got to talk to? Not us. We’re We’re just the circus. I’m in charge here. No, I’m happy to be a part of the circus. I’m in charge here, guys. I can be the lion that you guys whip. No, you’re you’re you’re a moderator now. You’re good. Let’s go. Okay. What do I So, if you say something now, then uh it’ll be in a new color. There was a lot of talk, Rimco. You brought it up about Ali and Nick. They will be coming a little bit later in the WSP main event. The Night Shift will be back. I can’t wait for it. is one of the best times of the year when the night shift is installed. Will we see Nick Schulman finally punch Ali Nad in the booth? Come on, Ali. Yeah, I know. If you get Martin Cabrell in here, maybe we’ll see some punches thrown. I’m sorry. No, I’d like that. What’ you say, [ __ ] That was That was incredible. He just No. Well, the I think I thought it was even funnier when Martin tried to get Nick Nick’s phone number that video. Oh my god. Yeah, it’s good. It’s been a good summer. It’s been a good summer. By the way, we are just having dinner over here. I know it’s been a staple of some of the random nonsense that we discuss, but uh what’s what’s for dinner over there? What do we got? We had some we we’re having Greek tonight as I’m all in, but I want to see it in the chat. I want to see it in an emoji form, please. That’s tough. By the way, just doubled in the free roll. No big deal. Don’t worry. No big deal. I’m out. I’m just over here. I got to wait till the next Hoie with 98 absolutely crushing Buckalian as we get back to the action here. Put the nonsense aside. Lo on 600k. Bdalian still on the big stack cruising along. Who is having some swings? Mincy still out in the field. And you know, this is a gangster spot for Bgalian. He’s not really getting out of line, but the raise pre flop was out of line and he, you know, kudos to him. Look, you can exit outside the box sometimes and exist there, but don’t get too crazy, especially out of position. So, good to see him just kind of avoid any sill silly bluff. David Friendly in the chat asking, “What’s the worst beat ever in WSOP history?” Well, let me let me tell you this. One of the worst beats ever led to the poker boom. Led to the poker boom. Oh, yeah. For sure. Steve Fran’s jersey. Yeah, that’s all I’ll say. Mr. Phil Ivy, what what which other beats come to mind, Donnie? Um Oh, the um the Antoine Soot survival at the final table. Are we talking about just WSB main event? Yeah. Yeah, let’s keep it to main event. Okay. Just WSP main event. I mean, the Matt Affleck one was sick. Oh, yeah. That’s number one. That was That was sick. Anytime someone sheds tears after a poker hand, you got to put it in one of the worst beats ever. I was there when that happens. E1. That was okay. So, we are seeing Lo, Loki, Lo Quiet, Loette come in with an out of the range raise with the 910 offuit from this early position. He gets three bet by ace queen and he just folds. So disciplined still. Yeah. Duhl, Affleck beat. We There was I saw someone post today. Excuse me. We got promos. Tristan is starting to pick up on the music here as GTO Wizard is there for you. If you want to beat the best and crush the rest, go to gtoizard.com/poker. Save 10% on your first purchase and this might unlock your full potential in order to crush the WSOP next year. I saw Adam Ruthless. Yes, Adam Levy. Ruthless. What’s up, bud? He posted a hand on Twitter today from his table over. It was ace king verse aces. The flop was ace king three. Yep. The board ran out. King, the only way for aces to lose. Perfect. Perfect. You’re never gonna find a worse beat than that. It’s just that happens to lots of people, but that’s the worst beat that you can just face, you know. And Lonnie, look, we have 10 in a calling range. Low opening in early position. He’s in third position. Lonnie calling the hijack with two tens. Quack with ace 10 offsuit. So this is the bottom of your calling range here with an offsuit version. You could use this as your first weak bluff, but obviously fine to call there. And Mishelock, this is another I call this he he’s hes high equity spot. Wow, you’re you’re really you’re really out there in the in the the teacher streets giving us new terms to work with. Yes, that’s a high equity spot. I have a suit of connector I have to call 1.4K to win 12.2K. I love this spot. I dream I salivate when I peel a suit of connector. Four chips to the race. That’s gonna suck. By the way, some people saying the royal versus quads. That wasn’t a bad beat. That was just a cooler. That was already Yeah, that was already done by the time that it it the money got in. Uh definitely iconic. I want to say that was 0808 main events. The guy with the white tank top. And and look, we got Laqu. How did he get How did he get 10 starting stacks? Here he goes. He flops another flush draw. And Lonnie has a hand that she’s always continuing within position. A pair and a diamond herself. This is one of those hands that is a pure bluff catcher. She’s not beating value when he starts to bet into multiple opponents, but it’s a hand strong enough that she can start calling once and maybe even twice. But I don’t think ever takes his hand off the pedal. Okay. Sorry. I got to drill that into my head. Why would he? You really be better be a French person that told us that. If it’s really Lquet, we’re going to be mad. If they’re trolling, it’ be even funnier to me. I actually respect that. Uh, Hoie versus Lay Chapter 6. I think they’ve been at it all level here. Ward pairs, threes on the turn. And this is actually, like I said, the foot is not coming off the gas here. You block ace king. Your opponent never has ace king. It’s now less likely that your opponent has a set of threes because there’s only one combo, the three of clubs and the three of hearts. So, this is where you pounce. You try to get Lonnie to fold maybe a king 10 suited, a king jack suited. She’s really not going to have a worse king than that. King 10 suited, king jack suited, king queen. Um, and Lonnie, you don’t mind this turn card because now you have outs to beat a flush. You can pair a three or you can hit your 10. So, if Lonnie wants to get sticky, this is the next best hand. she would have aside from a king in her range. But look at this. Low key low key comes with pot size. Yeah, I told you he’s not taking his foot off the gas here. This is just a triple barrel spot when you have the ace of diamonds and the range advantage. Damn, this guy is just unstoppable. I love it. And this is this is where it becomes uncomfortable if you’re Lonnie and she’s just going to fold. This is the power of having so many chips. Everything just working out for him. Million and well played. Very well played. Angie in the chat says it’s pronounced pronounced luck box. Yeah, I didn’t see the B at first, but now I get it. Yeah, Loki is a menace. Yes, he is. Sebastian Lult once once again love everyone for hanging out today. We got four more hours of play uninterrupted, no breaks. It’s going to be a really, really fun night out here on day 2D. Just, you know, subscribe to our YouTube channel. You know, turn on the post notifications. We got daily highlights. We got we got we got both recaps, highlights, and big hands. And then once WSP is over, we got new cash game hands as well coming at you from High Stakes Poker Game of Future. So yeah, just come on, join join us and and have fun. We make poker content all year round. and happy to do so. Talbert says it’s locket like a necklace. Lock it. Say it right one time. Lock it. It could be. Damn. Like I’ve never seen a name that has eight pronunciations that could all work. We should just call him Risk from now on. That’s that’s his nickname. Lucky Lock. What about Lucky Lock? Or what about Lock? Is he our lock right now to to go deep? Because look, this tournament started with what 10,000 players. We’re down to what, 3,000 players right now. It’s obviously anybody’s game, but I mean, risk is it’s putting in work. And this is this is this is this is out of the box. This is just attacking a very tight player like a G. Like a G. G is G for sure. Oh, we’re all getting fired up now. That is a great bluff because suited aces should never fold there. That hand ace three suited in particular would have been great to rejam all in as a four bet bluff quote unquote because of your equity you’re going to have when called. Um you could also just call in position and see a flop. But that’s uh Aram playing a little bit too tight. And a great find by the G. Saw someone post in the chat that they’re sitting on a big stack in the free roll. I’m just peacefully grinding. 500 left in this one. Next one starting by the way on the half hour. So got about 40 minutes before the next one. Let’s see if we can make every subsequent free roll bigger. That’d be that’d be fun. We got 1,200. Let’s go for 1,400. Risque. Okay, I like that too. Risque. That’s good. Uh Qua here with pocket queens sitting on 75k. It’s been a rough level for him. Lonnie especially been uh hacking away at his stack. 25. Notice the tone and the verbalization there. 25 like you know just whatever. ADA with two eights in the big blind defends. Let’s see if this flop can generate some excitement. And we see overcards to all the pairs with ace king 7. GPP Go is asking how do we pick streaming tables? Well, that is actually a good question and it’s fairly complex. Obviously, we try to look for notable players. We try to look for big stacks, players that play aggressive. LO being the prime example of that. Uh, and we also have to take into account the table location in the breaking order and which room they’re playing in because they have to be playing in this room in order for us to use the table. Otherwise, the logistics would be uh a big disadvantage to the other players. So, various factors and the deeper we go in the tournament, the easier it gets for us to swap tables around. All right, so at first glance, this hand looks very unextraordinary. It just looks boring. But we do see kind of queens continue with a range bet on ace king 7 which is totally fine. Now I think when you bet twice you’re kind of exploring this uncharted territory where maybe you’re trying to get better to fold like this hands this level. But that just feels good. It seems like for Mr. clock to take that one. Poker is hard. That is a true statement. Couldn’t be more true. First lady of poker asks, “Is there a limit to free rolls you can play? Clicking the button won’t let me register.” What do you guys say about that? Uh, no, there’s not. So, for a little bit, you should be able to playpokco.com. Still probably pretty. The next roll starting in 40 minutes should be open for registration. No purchase required. It is free to play from anywhere in the world. CD says, “Why don’t we just ask the guy his name?” We will. Look, we will ask him eventually. That’d be way too professional if we did that. Yeah, we’re called the circus for a reason. Fleming with fives comes in for the raise. Not going to get Joe Tango asking, “Stream ending soon?” Hell no. We’re going to go straight through. No breaks. We’re just swapping tables. That’s happening in about 2 minutes. So, new table coming out. Dip out of here and beat the traffic. Rubber Toad says, “Bogdalian makes strange flop calls.” Rubber Toad, um, that was actually a fine flop call just given the size of the bet. It was like a one big blind bet. So, he’s just really trying to hit an eight and then if it ever checks down, like you have some pot share. So, I know that seemed a little unorthodox, but it was actually fine. Should have fluffed a lot more. I know. Only one bluff. Yeah, exactly. Heads up. Okay, so two formidable hands, a pair of fives, jack 10 suited, check the lock checks from the big blind. Go back to the table you were at. So two fives with a range bet, right? These are the boards that favor the initial pre flop razer. So they just play a lot of betting. The next after the break we go. And bing the nuts for the chip leader. Now probably a spot he’s not going to make any money unless we see a five on the river. No push. This is a 11,000 in the middle. Small little pot here. Fleming smart to not do anything fancy here. Poker broker. How do you get into the free rom poker go? You go to playpoker.com. playpokergo.com tournament tab and it’s right there. One purple for me. All right. So, we are not going on break prior. Contrary to what it sounds like, we are not going on break. We are doing a uh 30 second commercial and then by the power and the magic of the internet, we will be back with a new table, some fresh faces. So, please stay with us. Like the video, subscribe to the channel. We’ll see you in 30 seconds. The NAP is back this November, my babies. This is going to be such an amazing event. Back in fabulous Las Vegas. I had such an amazing time at the NAP last year. It was one of my favorite events. Stay up to date through the Poker Stars channels. Come play with us this November. I’ll see you in Las Vegas. Be there. Welcome back to day 2D. My name is Rem Gurinka. Donnie Peters in the booth with me and we’re joined by Tristan Wade, WSB bracelet winner for some analysis. Jeff Flatt on the floor to get all the quotes from the top players as we see David Williams, 2004 runner up on the secondary table. But he’s not the only reason that we selected a table. Reva Arthur and William Camp have been on a tear on the outer tables. So we figured why not get acquainted with some of these larger stacks in the room and maybe David Williams can make some magic happen as well. Then on the main feature table as we look at the tournament format presented by Splash Sports 10K buying five levels per day. We got two levels left, four hours of play. There he is. Aaron Zang the I call him the ultra mega blaster from a few years ago. He’s back. He’s got chips. This should be a lot of fun. Look at that. 253,000. That guy has never seen a hand he doesn’t like. And the same can be said for Shawn Ferry. Sherry, just shy of 100 bigs coming into the table. He likes to mix it up. See Ralph Ferry in the background on the rail. Let’s see if these guys can play some big pots. action right away. This table is huge. Yeah, it is. Yeah, he’s massive. Christopher dealer in the box. Great dealer. Deal me to yes dealing to me yesterday before I busted on day two. If you can get the cards and the bets inside the line. That does help me out. Pairing a flush draw here for Perry. Yeah, Dustree suited on the button. A little out of range, but you know, it’s the main event. You’re in position. Go have you Mr. very especially if you know you’re going to flop this a pair and a flush draw. Life’s good. And Lang, man, I’ve never seen these words, these letters arranged in this order before. Jean Kage, I think that’s probably good. Yeah. Yeah. Jean Kage. Jean Kage. Yeah. It’s almost an anagram. It is. Yeah. That’s pretty pretty cool. Um, but I so I was going to say ace deuce offsuit pre flop. You might just want to muck, but whatever. You’re getting a good price. Ace7 now has an easy decision to just call. You’re middle of range. You could raise if you had ace9 here. So yeah, love to see it. Limb red, but not a diamond. A7 going to take a big equity advantage here. Yeah, maybe because of light. Let’s see what Mr. Perry’s going to do. 2x pot for his villain. He’s he’s smart. He’s company doing the live stuff. You can check. You can bet. You know, there’s you don’t want to bet and get jammed on here. So, that’s why you sometimes just want to check. So, we do see Shan Perry check. I was just pushing. And now block betting is a thing here for A7. You have the more 9x in your range. Your opponent’s not going to really have a nine when they check back unless they’re checking back a weak nine like 96 suited. You know, you wouldn’t really expect a hand like 910 or jack 9 or king 9 or ace9 to check the turn. So, I love a block bet here. Just throw it like 3 4k. But your hand’s even worth more. If you wanted to bet like 8K, you could. But, you know, a small bet maybe gets you called by an ace high, a three or a worse seven. But we see Lim just check. And now I expect Perry just to check and take his showdown value with threes and nines with his eight kicker. All right, so Limb’s going to win this one. Table in the A7. Sean Perry healthy stack 134,000. Big massive. Yeah, it’s big. Really big. streaming table indeed. A lot bigger than the normal poker tables. Allows us to get the nice camera angles. And I’m out. Are you good? I guess I forgot about what happened. Yeah, I I won’t I won’t remind you of that. These lights are bright. Super bright. Are we supposed to get some makeup or something? You already look good, buddy. You already look good. Just a reminder for anybody that just got here. Make sure you spread your cards out on the card reader. Oh, I do. Y Oh, yeah. You can just show him, too. You feel me? Yes. raise to 30,000. Okay. Shabal link in second position with ace9 off. going to raise. Going to get called by for the TV or you call on the hijack on the dealer button call with a9 off as well and Zang with king deuce offuit. I’d like to see a fold here but Remco said these guy he’s a blaster but good fold. And the stats are a little messed up here because Ace9 are going to, you know, chop more or less. 56 out flops both. That is 6,000. Easy money. A nice pickup there. Yeah. Getting reacquainted with the tables here. Sean Perry, of course, and Aaron Zang, the headliners. I just went to YouTube and I typed in Aaron Zang Poker. Just to remind myself, uh we have some videos out there. Uh once called the full Aaron Zang Show, the craziest player since Jamie Gold. Uh this man built up quite the reputation in a short span of time. Ultimately busted on day five, the year the year that Karai Aldeir won the main event. and uh he’s got chips again and just like Riby that style just works so well in the main event. Yeah, I’ll be curious to know if he’s going to use that pass result as maybe an experience builder. Maybe thinking listen I maybe I played a little bit, you know, too far over the front of my skis there and and I got ahead of myself and ultimately it cost me on a really really deep run. Not that day five isn’t a deep run. It is, but a really, really deep run. You know, we’re talking about day seven, day eight type of stuff. So, I wonder if we see him maybe back off a little bit, a little bit wiser to everything now. Conor Conro just takes it down here with the pre flop raise. By the way, let’s do a round now. You can see cuz now you can see on TV so he can a round through the chat. Let us know where you’re watching from. 9:00 p.m. Las Vegas. Still going strong. 4 hours left to play. And Alex in the chat says, “Zang is a beast. I play with him.” Seven deuce. It’s a cooler Mills here finds ace 10. Zang by the way cashing all over California the last couple of years since his big result. Lots of lower stakes events that he cashed in. So looks as though he’s uh trying to make it make it happen as a poker player. And of course I have to correct myself. It was the Aspen York year in which Zang made his run. I got it confused because Karimir also went deep in that year again finishing 75th. Zang by the way ultimately busting at 117th place. But if you look back at the coverage it feels as though he made the final table. Um, Mills makes it 3500. Connor calls. And now Yankage with pocket kings finding the goods at the right time. All right. This way. It’s going to make it 9,000. Action. Quickly folding back to the initial razor. Shabnick with ducks in the big blind. Just not the right time for a hand like that to get involved with. 000 to go. Ace 10 offuit kind of just a a raise kind of bluffing spot I feel like. So I I would exit the pot here and wait to commit my chips in another hand. But two nines definitely at least wants to see a flop when it comes back to them. And I I like that. That’s very good by Mills. You know, some people might say, “Oh, what are you doing raise folding?” You know, when you have 18 bigs or 16 bigs, you can still have raised folding range because you need to balance it out when you do have big hands. Heads up. Well, Connor makes the call with nines customer here for Yonkage with the kings and it comes king queen three. Top set for our aggressor. Okay. So, what do you think you do here, Remco? Your opponent checks there. It’s a draw heavy board. I think you have to bet because it’s a draw heavy board. It is. But when you have three kings, what do you expect to call you? You’re only going to get action from a flush draw. Maybe jack 10. What about when your opponent has exactly what they have and you’re 95% to win. What do you trap with? Fine, I’ll check that. Jeez. Okay, that’s exactly. You got to have some traps here. Your traps come from mostly pocket kings. You don’t trap queens as much because queens doesn’t block it. But so we see this his bets just probably wins now. So yeah, it’s a little scary, but if you think about like the spectrum of a of a strategy, you wouldn’t check ace king. You would probably check ace queen because you don’t want to you want to play a pot control here. You wouldn’t check a hand like ace jack or ace 10 with a club. So you have to have some bluffs. I mean some some traps and it basically comes from top. There’s no way you had any of that. Yeah, he had all of that. We have king King six clubs. Oh, really? Good flop for you. Well, Sean, I’m saying that’s why you couldn’t have any of that. I have king queen. You had king queen. You both didn’t have a king. [ __ ] So, he didn’t have a king. We know that. And a queen. No, you guys didn’t have kings. We know that. So, what you have? Did you just bust another free roll, Ramco? I’m just signing up for the next one. Signing up for the next one. We got the next pre-roll starting in in 18 minutes. Already 400 people in there. There you go. For anyone in the Poker Go chat who was wondering, I got Donnie over here on Canva making graphics. Man, this guy does it all. Poker Poker Go podcast. Well, it’s late night. Social media manager. He’s on day three of the main event. Remco, too. I mean, all these guys are beasts. My dog Henry, we need Bles and Tristan in the booth. I think that would be an atomic clash. Does he even play no limit holdem? He plays PLO. Is he even a no limit holdem player? No, I’m just kidding. I would love Bless is a beast. I would love that. I believe Bles might be in the booth tomorrow. I I think he was he was uh making some phone calls. And if he is, imagine if we have a Sorry, bouquet final t or feature table. Oh yeah. And that would be sick. Hiola says, “Now you see why Tristan overthinks hands. You don’t always need to trap there.” Okay, you don’t always need to trap there, but if you’re never trapping there, then you’re not playing a balanced strategy. So, if you’re just always betting two kings, it makes sense that you need to trap because what’s going to call you? King King jack 10 here. camp flopping pair and straight draw at Winchell with just the straight draw and back door spades. Completely different vibe at this table compared to a prior table. Yeah, this is too sophisticated for me. It’s too quiet. Who’s this? Is that It looks like Steve Beracus, right? It looks Oh my god, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Well, his name is Winshell, but he looks like Steve Villa Rockus, doesn’t he? Yeah, we got two straits here, too. Remco, this is a chop pot. I was wondering who the two seat was. She’s looking very eloquent over there. Mind you, a 400k stack that’s towering upwards. That is That is a very good point. Arthur on a massive stack. Reva Arthur 264,000 in live earnings. Not in this hands, but just pointing that out. She has been crushing quite a few live wins under her belt. came into today as the chip leader. Really? And what about this guy Camp? Tell me a little bit about him with 500K here. Bill Camp from Detroit, Michigan. 14K in earnings. He’s got his friends on the rail sweating him on. Trey, Ailio, and Hassan. I really I really think that’s Steve Bellus in the one seat. Underdog poker. Never heard about that. Although, who isn’t an underdog at the poker table? That’s how I feel. We’re all underdogs. That’s 22. Lucas says, “Do you want to play a balanced strategy versus non-pros in the main?” Absolutely not. You want to play an exploitable strategy because everyone you play against in every hand is going to play diff completely differently. But you want to start with a balanced strategy overall and then extend outside of it. You want to deviate from that, but you need to have a balanced strategy. So, and we see an all-in, and this is going to be an all-in and a call. You only lose to ace queen here. You don’t bet to fold these kind of hands. So, it does feel gross, but you’re going to chop here enough to warrant a call. camp with the big stack though applying that pressure. But this is going to be a chop. Split it three ways. I’ll take my piece too. So yeah, you you don’t need to play. I mean, when I’m playing the main event, I’m I’m trying to play differently versus every opponent. But what I mean by GTO and balance is you really need to understand how ranges look and how how you you start with the nuts on the flop and how ranges extend from the nuts downward. as we see an all-in ace king versus two bet mulling over his options here. All right, so Lim’s going to come along here. Kings versus Ace King. Classic clash here. Day two, the main event. Almost 100k in the middle. Chung the OM player. Sick folds. TV time. Zang. No stranger to TV time. Calling it out here. This is one of those hands. We love to see eight deuce deuce. Safe flop with the kings. Saying my car or you calling this deuce turn car. Seven of diamonds. So far so good for kings. I know if you hit it, huh? No, not yet, but I was pushing him. Rivercart seven of hearts. Kings will double up. Chung will receive the full double up. Oh, really? He was pushing him. Christian Chung, Los Angeles, California. You pushing him after you see the ace king or before seeing had some uh smaller runs in the WSP braceed events. is best a 60st place in the millie maker this year. I got a suited ace eight suited. So I know that he’s getting you beat you beat me too. Aaron Zang sitting on 250. I will guarantee you he is not going to be on that stack size for too long. This man cannot help himself. Aggressive and splashy. It’s a lot of fun to watch. Let’s see if he gets things moving here. Sean Perry finds ace 10. Perry, of course, one of the more brash, outspoken, crazy, controversial, whatever you want to call him, uh, people in poker. Action now on limb with ace jack off and just lets it go. Wow. 17k just waiting for a better spot. Bye-bye. Not sure what better spots you’re going to get off what 12 bigs Shawn Perry the wide raising range most likely. Yeah. I mean that’s one of those ones where I I often defer to the player at the table for how their opponent is playing. But in this specific case, we know how Shawn Perry plays and I would say Shawn Perry his general approach off this sort of stack size can certainly be wider than ACEJ. So I would take my shot there. Connor from the big line defends, flops a gut shot on queen 54. That stage is even even bigger. See what I am? They’re going to see how great you are. All my excuses. Oh, I’m 500. They’re gone. Customer is fine. It’s your wife. So, look at this. Conru chasing that straight. It’s so hot here. See if if Perry’s going to fire again at this. Yeah, it is. And look at this. Connor now leading for 6500. Donnie, that’s a little out of the ordinary. It is, but you know, he’s just trying to take some initiative here. Find it interesting because on the surface that nine sort of meaningless. Well, Conor gets it done here. And I don’t think you really want to face a bet with just a gutter again. So, you know, he’s just turning his hand into the bluff all the way. And I don’t know if he’s going to fire the river if getting called, but your opponent can certainly be wider than connecting with that. All right, we got another four more dogs in the building. Uh GTO Wizard, if you want to go from uh the underdog to the top dog, gto wizard.com/poko. Try it out for free and then save 10% on your first purchase. Beat the best and crush the rest over on gto wizard.com. Once again, almost free roll time. 9 minutes until the next one kicks off. All right, this this is the last one. This is my last chance. I I can’t take this nonsense anymore. Donnie Peters stuck a bunch on harder over these free rolls than I I do in the main event on free roll last longers. It’s ridiculous. By the way, I you know how we have all these crazy rules in poker, you know, you can’t cover all three things on your face, whatever. If you are in a hand Yes. and you have your hands under the table Yes. you should get a penalty. It should not be allowed. Is that because it tilts you or? Yes. The vogal thing, the bottom. It’s got to go. It’s got to go. Only the top dogs do that, Donnie. By the way, we got kings here for Zang arriving on the river. 185 in the middle, including Zang. Top dog. Hands under the table. This is This should be This should be not allowed. You think he’s a top dog? We got a Zang, by the way, on both tables. This is Leu. Zang. His uh nickname is Leaf. I kind of like that. That’s kind of strong. Uh he’s going to bet this. That is 12,000. 12,000 on the river here. Trying to get some value from camp. Camp by the way. Brushing up against 500k. God, these stacks, like the big stacks are just so crazy. And look at this call made. Zang get tremendous value from his kings. It’s funny how we have a Zang on both tables. So when I looked up and I saw Zang with kings, I was like, “Oh, here we go.” There’s only 677 in the field. I feel like I got a shot. Yeah, you you you might actually have a shot. Uh 77th my best finish today in the free roll. Next one kicking off in 6 minutes. 6 minutes till the free roll. Let’s get in there, baby. Uh here’s David Williams, DW Poker, runner up in the 04 main event and still going strong. Back then he was the uh the young kid, the new kid, now the wy old veteran. Chef Chef David to three. Remember when he he busted out and he said to Ari or sorry Arya busted out and Ari was like bust his ass or whatever he said about Rymer. Oh yeah. It was a different time back then. It really was. Marcel Lusk on the rail. David’s mom present as well. and Arthur, Reva Arthur coming into the day as the chip leader. She’s going to three bet with jacks to 9,000. Excited to see some plays from her. Always good to find out how she’s accumulated, whether she’s just been pure aggression or perhaps it’s been a good run of cards. Probably a combination of things. She won a single day $1,100 tournament over at the Arya this summer for 65K. Wow. That’s a That’s a way to satellite in. Back to table number one. Zang and Perry holding court. I’m starting to miss the low already. No bullying, buddy. It wasn’t bullying, right? Greatly missed. What’s up? Greatly missed. But with the way that his sack is going, I’m call you were getting a big bet on the river on day three. the ideal table. That’s the kind of table in Riby saying if he didn’t say just going to check the turn. That’s what I know. Yeah. Now I rocket suit exclamation point mute announcers trying to mute us. That’s that’s up to you, buddy. You can press You can turn the volume off. It’s totally fine. If you turn the volume off and just shuffle chips at home, it’s like the same thing. It really is. 3,000. And here comes Zang. First action from him making it 3,000. Need some chips. I was thinking my body is protecting me. Maybe you guys don’t respect my open, but you know my body’s here. Zang brought a bodyguard to the table. So, what’s the question? You need protection. Oh, no. They’re going to put me They’re going to put us here two hours. Now I remember your question. They’re going to put us here two hours. Two hours. If you make good show, they might put us like four hours a day. You’re doing great so far. Yeah. Bluff it off. Doing great so far. Yeah. What am I doing? Talking talking. Need to get Sean. I’m talking here. It’s your turn. I think a player like it’s so hot here greatly benefits from being at this table because he’s done he’s had that big run before. He’s comfortable in the setting and I think he’s going to have more spots to bluff just because of that experience. That’s a good point. He’s been under the lights. He’s been deep in this tournament. He’s felt that pressure. And he’s got a really good stack. And and look around at this table, right? We see Mills all in here. Let’s go. Let’s see the first card. I’ve got a feeling I’m ready to gamble. I do like the shove. Sorry. Pretty short on chips. Final call, by the way, to get to the free roll. Always there. Let’s go. Two minutes left. I’m in there. I’m in there already. Are we at a thousand yet? No, but we’re getting there. 860. Come on, people. We got to get to a,000. Let’s go. Get in the free roll. Play pokergo.com. Do you want one? Trist, I have a question for you for you right now. It’s getting a little bit later. We can mix some nonsense in here. And I want the chat to also chime in with their answer. Let’s say you make the main event final table and they’re doing walkout songs before you take your seat. People at home, think about this. What’s your walk out? What would be your walk out song? Well, I’d have to think about this because Okay, I’ll give you some time. I love music. I have a song that comes to mind immediately. Jay-Z, the Ruler’s Battle. Oh, wow. That’s strong. The instrumental for that. The instrumental. That is that is strong. Um I think Donniey’s going to go Eye of the Tiger. Um no, definitely no. But uh Jay-Z the Ruler’s Back is on my list. Um, so is um What the hell is the name of the song? Allow me to reintroduce myself. Yeah. Um, that’s public service announcement by Jason. Yeah, that is that song. I could sing that song for a great song. What you feeling? I Yeah, I have so many songs. I I I need a playlist for my for my entrance. You’re like, can I come walking up again? Few more songs. Let me just sit here and and put on a set. The chat, by the way, is firing off for the bag. You know, a great Enter Sandman is a really good one, too. Enter Sandman would be on my list, too. It’d probably depend on my mood. Low, by the way, I’ll in with Forge. Let’s not forget up against David Williams with A6. Low just chasing the four of hearts here. The short stack does not survive. Low eliminated. Very short. David Williams will will take it. He’ll take it. Breaking this one in. The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. Sure. Your name? Swedish House Mafia. I saw Mama said knock you out. Hate Being Sober. Sober by Chief Keef. I like the sweat together. Open it up. No, there’s so many great songs. Closing time. Aqua Barbie girl. I’m a Barbie girl. That’s kind of That’s kind Is that That’s that one. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Real question is what do I do if it’s like a seven of diamonds? Right. wrapping plastic. I’m in there. Fantastic. If I should be Can we Can we mute Tristan then? We can just unplug him. Yeah, that’s actually true. Oh, you know what? This might be the one that I would go with. Skrillex with Bangerang. That is such a loud song. That’s a good one. Seek and destroy Metallica. They should bring They should Everybody was kung fu fighting. [Laughter] I’m I’m I’m about to side with the chat on muting the commentators. Look what I started. Uh Debs 3k with ace9. Ma makes the call. Ddub finds the right price here. Comes along with the five do suit and invites Zang into the pot. So four-way action. No real four players. Super strong hands, but interesting. Good race. Maybe two flops could bring some action here. Uh, queen 84 check. Ma flopping check. Top pair with the king kicker. Zang check with the weaker queen. That’s 55. Another song that always got me fired up, Headlines by Drake. I know it’s a little old song. Or Trophies. Trophy’s a good one. But just some of the instrumentals that these guys have used just you don’t even need the music. But I mean when it comes to music, you know, one of my favorite songs actually is Papa was a Rolling Stone. Oh yeah. That’s like an intro of like 3 minutes of just music before any words come. Do you remember 36 Mafia and Chesto? Feel it 2010. Yeah. But you know the the the the music video they driving down the strip in Vegas. That’s why I always remember that one. So, back to the game for one second. We do see king queen with a a pretty kind of tight check back. Um, when you’re only working with less than pot, maybe you’re just trapping, but I would have loved to seen an allin by king queen on the turn here. Button versus big blind. And we’re going to see a little block bet from queen seven. And if you get to this river with queen king, I think your hand qualifies as an all-in still. But we’re gonna see some missed value here. So, we left about 10K on the table there. But, you know, you talk about 36 Mafia. Feel it. The most famous 36 Mafia song. Do you know it? That That’s the only song I know of them. Okay. Well, well, maybe when you play it, I will know it. You can’t say it. I cannot say. Do you know the most famous 36 Mafia song? Anyone in the chat know the most famous 36 mafia song? Please help Remco out. We’re getting we’re getting in getting cancelled territory. He goes like, I can’t say the word. Oh, that song. Okay. Anywh who, all right, moving on. Yeah, moving on. That was a good question, though. I think that spiced up the chat a little bit. Uh, by the way, smash the like button, subscribe to the channel. Uh, we got we got three and a half hours of poker left. We’re continuing to search for these storylines. Reva Arthur among those came into today as chip leader. She has since grown her stack, but some players have to eclipsed her. Billy Camp among those at the same table. Yeah, I mean there 36 Mafia does have a lot of great songs. I see the chat putting up some chicken head uh still fly like man they pop in my collar. Yeah, they got some some good songs. Okay, we got All right, we we got the chat rocking. It’s late. Look, it’s 9:30 on the on the West Coast. It’s midnight, past midnight on the East Coast. This is the after hours, the scary hours. So, if you’re not ready yet, get ready because when we hit double digits over here in Vegas, we turn it up a little bit more. It’s Las Vegas. It’s Sin City. You think we’re kids here? We’re all grown adults. Sign in if you’re on YouTube. Make sure you’re 21 or 18 and above. Hit the like and then you can join us as we move forward. Uh Winshell up against Arthur here calling from the big blind. And look, you’re faced with a small bet. You got the king 10 of hearts. You can totally float here from the big blind. You could also do some check raise bluffing. You know, your king highs don’t do it as much as maybe a jack high would. Um but yeah, we just see a fold and that’s fine too when you’re up against a chip leader who’s raising in first position. If you’re just tuning in, Ram Corman, Donnie Peters on the call, but Tristan Wade doing most of the talking. He’s here to bring some analysis, some hot takes, maybe some spice every now and then when players get out of line as we go back to the Shawn Perry, Aaron Zang table. And uh we got a hand developing here. Connor making it 3,000. Perry calls. Mills getting out of the way. That was the time to get some of my chips back. Ain’t even a even there. Look at Well, how much is that watch going to cost me? That looks very expensive. I mean, if it’s real. Oh, yeah. That’s That’s a good point. You know, you never know nowadays. For the for the gram. Lots of Yeah. It could just be for the gram. You know, lots of people just like to preach about it. Yeah. For the stream. For the stream. A lot of the more someone preaches about it, the less they are about it in my opinion. For sure. I’m surprised John Perry’s only wearing one watch. I mean, he’s not check. Yeah, two laptops, two phones. Uh 1084 Rainbow. Connor continues for 4,000. Harry makes the call. And loose call indeed. We have no back doors here with clubs, but we do have some back door straight draws. And one of those arrives. Now we can make the best hand with a nine. How often do we call here just to try and take initiative when when this scenario plays out where Connor checks the turn? Yeah, look, Perry’s in position, so he’s just floating. I think now he probably wants to bet and fold out exactly these holdings of ace high. But yeah, this is Shawn Perry. Shawn Perry likes to mix it up. So, he’s just being Shawn Perry. And this is a great find. When you do turn some equity, you need to start pricing out, like I said, these exact holdings. The ace kings, the ace king queens, ace jacks probably not going to fold here. Spades aren’t going to fold here, but ace queen of diamonds is in a very uncomfortable situation. So why is it better to do this than to I was firing big on the river in this one probably just because your opponent is going to my hand gets messed up there but themselves right it’s a big hand for me and then you play a bigger pot up against a stronger range if called whereas there can tip the dealer he’s just floating he hopes his opponent checks if his opponent doesn’t check and he doesn’t pick up equity he could just exit the pot nice call with Primise Is that yours or mine? Annie up mop lens. That’s a great song. I used to Oh my god, that was one of my favorite songs. Annie up. I used to love that, man. If you guys just raffle off songs all night, I’ll be living the dream. Thinking about all the music, the great music that’s been created on this planet. Hang on. Liv Bri, by the way, also entering the main. I saw a tweet from her. So I joining late, but they did not want to miss out on the world’s greatest tournament. Just trying to catch up through some social media to find some names that we perhaps have not mentioned. Ryan Depollo, who we checked in with on day one, ran it up to 280, then made some DJ plays. according to himself now around 74,000 action here on table one. Perry with 108 off 3500. Shavelnik calling. Chung on the button. And so far Aaron Zang extremely quiet. Sean Perry a lot more active. Remember, you got to let these guys get in the rhythm. No, I have no patience. It’s only been like four hands. It’s time. It’s It’s early. You got to let You know, sometimes you have to fold a couple orbits. Sometimes you you you’re card dead for an hour or two or maybe even all day. You know, sometimes you got to let the game come to you, my friend. Geez. Yum. Yum. Raise. And everyone calls. Nice family. Sean, anyone want to switch hands or what? O. You want to switch out of line 10? I’m only under the gun from under the gun. I would say WTF. are you doing right now? But bottom two pair flop for Perry. He is dominated by the ace 10. And this is why you don’t play junk under the gun because you’re going to get dealt with by the deck. Mills meanwhile flopping back door clubs and the open and then straight draw. So this hand depending on how the action goes and Connor with a double gutter and back door flush draw. We have four monster hands here. Chung with the obvious current equity the other two Mills and Connor in the blind too with the future equity. I mean the people watching TV they don’t know how he plays and I would say a lot of the time you just call here with top two. He knows there’s never going to have like he never going to have like this queen there. But this is actually one of the disaster scenarios if you if you slow play here top two because you have two people behind you that have a ton of equity. So, this is actually going to work out very good for Chung because he’s going to get Mills out. He’s going to get Connor out and he’s going to double up through Perry potentially. You know, maybe Perry makes some kind of miraculous hero fold, but I think Perry’s at least going to call the flop. A chance flip with you. That’s it. when action folds around a parry like I imagine it should bottom two is a hand that really needs a lot of protection but I would feel disgusted with bottom two pair in a fiveway pot when I get raised by the player here on the button you just told me you’re going to shop him now you say you’re going to call him shot I just call You know what? You should you should fold the hand because the TV. Look at that. Conor out of the way. Now back to Perry who will likely think your hand up against a ace9 ace jack type hand often. I don’t know. Ace9 call. He just can’t. I just I just feel as though Perry is not going to assume that his 108 is the worst hand here. If you hear the ace even even a fiveway pot. I’m under the gun. I have all the ace kings. I have all the pocket aces. I have all the ace queens. I think Shawn Perry just thinks I have two pair. You don’t want to talk? It’s possible. He’s fishing for info right now because I don’t think he loves the spot. But you’re right, Ramco. Is he going to fold? I don’t think so. I think he’s going to, you know, continue. But this is this is quite disastrous. And this is why you don’t play these loose hands under the gun. Just drawing to an eight. Five of spades on the turn. Perry in trouble. 57k in the middle. A little over pot size left for Chung here. Okay, this pretty good spot, but and with this strong of a holding, you have two options. You have a small bet in like the 20k region or you have an allin. There’s nothing else to do. I think I have you covered, man. Jackson was crazy. Yeah, I didn’t even pay attention. and I was um text a message then so 30,000 here from Chung betting half a stack. So if we think about combos like nothing, there’s one combo of pocket eight. There’s one combo of pocket 10 that beat you. But when we get into the offuit combos supposed to be on ace8 or ace 10, those can be a little plentiful even though we block that. But you just have to find bluffs. Here’s here’s kind of my point, Rimco, to to you saying ace jack, ace nine, ace queen. It’s really strong when you ask how much I have and then bet. You have to find bluffs. If you can’t find any bluffs here from Chung, this hand shrinks up tremendously. Oh, of course. No, no, I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just saying about perception and Perry indeed sees the two pair and just cannot get away from it. Chung almost with a guaranteed double up here. Perry just two outs, an eight and an eight only. That’s how it goes. corner pocket one time. Look, all I got to say is this is why you don’t play trash under the gun. This is a lesson for everyone who plays poker and who wants to be a gangster and play too many hands. 10 offuit under the gun. Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. You agree on the river. Don’t put the six to the jack. You agree with that, right? Here it comes. That was it, too, man. Close to 10. Nice. Sean Perry taking the massive hit down to 62,000. Chong winning a pot worth 189,000. I know I can’t read the board. He takes it on the chin there. Says nice hand, respect, but big table. Yeah, he’s running it up quick. More hands in a half hour than they did at the time. Like 40 minutes to get his double double so close, man. That was definitely Oh my goodness. How much time? And again, that’s another lesson in winning. Got to really be careful because there’s so many good hands that are dealt. Look how many people had equity in that hand. Even though Perry had bottom two, you kind of are one of the the worst holding hands because you’re just drawing so slim to better holdings and you don’t have a draw yourself. It was a tight open under the gun. And there’s Sean making fun of himself. The value of 190k stack right now is just crazy. Chong absolutely cruising right now. And Sean Perry basically just registered this tournament down to 60,000 which is the starting stack. So the bottom of the range that you could play under the gun you even 108 suited under the gun is out of line. I would say 10 n suited jack n suited queen nine suited. King nine suited. Surprised the turn didn’t even cure the action. Mostly king nine suited better. Surprised the turn didn’t cure the action. Yeah. Five and then nine jack king queen whatever cannot kill the action. Little little needle there from Zang. Well, he’s just saying, “Look, if an overcard comes, maybe you get away.” But Archimas two kings. You’re making You’re making him sound Japanese. I like it. That’s Greek, right? Is a Greek name. I What do we think? I have no idea. Um, don’t ask me, Remco. But 8K very sizable. That’s almost six big blinds. The the shorter stacked you are. Is anyone else sweating or is it just me? Cuz I lost a pot. The smaller race size. We were talking about like it’s very it’s pretty hot and no drink. Yeah. No drink. It’s amazing. No drinking Vegas. Yeah, these guys are under bright lights. Oh, yeah. It’s definitely hot on the set there. Not as hot as in the commentary booth, but it’s close enough. Yeah. Well, you got this light shining on us. You didn’t want to shut off. Yeah, I I’d fall asleep if we turned the light off. This is like a solar panel like flare. I’m evening out my tan. Evening out my tan. We need those little mini uh mini sunglasses. Yeah, Donnie and I were here in the dark the other night. Really? I just put that light on. Poker after dark over here. It’s all right, Remco. Anything for you, bud. So Archamas going to limp here with the king 10 suited Shablnick with a hand that likes to iso and you don’t want to really limp behind with hands like king queen like the offshoot variation of hands just because they do not flop well multi-way. You want to thin the field. You want to get these other hands out of the way. The big blind folds Ace9 off. I think we could have called there with A9 off getting a good price. 3K to win 16k with what would have been the best hand currently. Queen 43 on the flop here. Shavelnik well out in front. Yeah. And this is finally he’s here. just get to see bet win these pots. Uh once again, shout out to the chat both on Poker Go and on YouTube. Thank you all so much for watching. Please make sure to like the video if you’re on YouTube. Subscribe to the channel. Very much appreciated. Got over three hours left on day 2D. Tomorrow, day three, Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks on the call all day long. Same recipe. Yeah. Can I get a I love the main event. Just got to point that out. Uh if you love live poker and if you have time to come to Las Vegas, come back in November because NAP Las Vegas is coming back. Buy ranging from $300 all the way up to 50,000 at Resorts World. Scan the QR code on your screen and find out more. the Focus Stars NAPT coming back to Las Vegas. So, do we have payouts announced? Cannot. We’ll show We’re showing it on the stream. We’ll have the official announcement coming up in just a little bit. Okay. Payouts are they are known. Uh we’ll have it on the stream in just a few. I knew they were going to do what they did. We’ll we’ll discuss it once it airs as we see Shawn Perry back to it here. Makes a 4,000 with king eight. Jan Cash going to call and Limb wakes up with a monster in the big blind and very short stack. Only eight bigs. Dream spot. Punish them. And Sean Perry priced in here. He has to call 8K more to win 30k, but he’s in a fold. And this is he’s going to leave Jang Kai to work. Have a worthy hand. All right. So, Lim with a good chance to double up. Queens versus Ace7. See if the patience gets rewarded. And look, king eight offuit on the fine hand. It’s probably one of the the bottom of the range here, but it’s fine, Jack. Somehow I just got a feeling you have great hands and I fall on the ground but I can’t see what I fold yet. All right, here comes the flop. Queen, jack, 10. Easy, baby. Set for limb. Yankage looking for a king only or running diamonds. Six of hearts on the turn. River card is the eight of spades and Lim finds himself a double up. I got ace9 half the starting stack now. If you shove I have to call. If I open you shove I have to call and Zang last hand like last round they plan. Zang commenting like the butterfly, right? Had I raised under the gun, I would have had to call your shove and I would have just knocked you out there. You saved me though. Interesting, huh? Yeah. Must be a fuel player. You were right. You felt that I was strong and I was. So, Tristan, with how slow the levels are in the main event, too. Does it afford you enough time at these tables to start thinking about balancing the way that you play because you want to give off certain things or is the sample size so small that you’re better off coming up with individual strategies against your opponents? Can can you repeat that first? Like do you do you want to be balanced because you play with the same players for so long basically in this in this structure? Normal tournaments, you know, the table gets broken every half an hour. Okay, I got you. I don’t think it matters that much because maybe you play amazing 200 hands maximum right in a eight hour day in a 10-hour day. So really I would just play my normal strategy of this is going to be my range from under the gun. This is my range on the cutoff and and I wouldn’t really deviate that much until I learned from my opponents like, “Oh, this guy’s really tight. He’s never bluffing me.” So maybe I’m going to raise more and not call three bets or something, right? We do see Shawn Perry here. Use one of these hands we mentioned, ACEJ offuit. It’s a great hand to have as your bluffing range when there’s dead money out there, when you’re in position. Shabnick with a with a very tough spot. Suited aces are good, but the Ace7 suited, the A6 suited, they’re kind of the danglers because they don’t have added equity with straight draws. Like you’d rather have the ace suited through ace5 suited here or like ace 9 suited, ace 10 suited because it’s a little higher up in your range. So you could see for this price a call. You could see a fold and you could even use a hand like this as a for bet bluff because you have a suited ace and a blocker at a very strong hands if you think Perry’s the kind of player to get after it. You could click it back here to like 22,000. So all options on the table here for Shabnik. How much of a factor is that for bet decision uh in regards to how much Perry has behind? That’s for Chung. This is this you make a great point. If I’m Chung, I might just stuff it all in here because Perry 50k behind only has 40 big blinds total. So with hands like tens and jacks and ace king in particular at 40 big stack depth, those hands like to just rip it because if Perry ever folds here, you win 20k. If Perry calls here, you’re likely to be flipping more combos of hands that flip, but 10 is fine to call. Oh, no. We have a raise announced. Yes. I love this. All right. Round two. And this is a big size. Look, if you want to go, we go. Perfect. So, he could have chosen induction size like but if he makes a 22,000 calls, you don’t want to be up against queen king suited, ace jack suited, and let them see a flop. So, that’s why at 40 big you see and jacks and ace king just rip it in. time. Uh, he went to Walmart and buy J. And now Perry has to ask himself, how strong can Chung’s hand really be? He just called a raise and now he’s rerising me. But Chung can have ace king. Chung can have nines and tens and jacks. So Perry is Yeah. going to let this one go. But you don’t necessarily hate Perry’s three bet. No, I don’t. I think I think Perry’s using a good hand. He’s got my number today as a quasi bluff. And if he gets called, he’s dominating some stuff like queen jack suited, king jack suited, jack 10 suited, maybe some suited aces like we saw um Shablnneck have. So I think that’s a finely played hand by Mr. Perry and he folded you know the second best hand. So Perry stays alive here but is down a ton from his previous high as we go back to the outer table. Reva Arthur still holding court. 450 f 450k in front of her. Excuse me. Billy Camp the chip leader of the table with 485. Okay, big flop. Two players. Ma’s not going to love this. dominated both players with an ace and Arthur just comes along and makes the call. Seven of spades on the turn. And look, Ma is very short stack. If I’m Arthur, I’m thinking of how we get all this money in. And any bet you make on the turn is going to give a one to one stack to pot ratio remaining on the river. Look at this. 23k back for Ma. 26k in the middle. Arthur goes check check. And she’s going to see she missed some value here. She hasn’t pimped. kicker. Now, I think Arthur should have thought about that a little bit longer. That was a very fast turn in river there. Um, when your opponent checks the turn, hold that. Don’t play ace8. You bump into like ace 10 like that and then you when your opponent checks a turn, maybe they don’t have all the ace queens, ace kings, so but but that’s fine either way. I do wonder like why did she check back so fast? What is she concerned with? She’s concerned with ace queen and ace king and ace jack, but I would say you have 466k. If you happen to be beat there and you lose another 12 big blinds, it’s nothing out of your stack. You can still get value from kings or queens or jacks. What if they have what if he just has a bluff catcher? What if he has a worst ace like we did see? So, I think that’s a spot where, you know, it’s a little dicey because maybe they could have a better hand, but when you have such a big chip advantage and they check, I think you go for it. Okay, so let’s see what we got here. We got a raise from Mr. David Williams with two sixes under the gun. Cassell calls in middle position. Debs calls on the cutoff and Ma with king jack suited in the big blind is going to put most of his stack forward. 20k from Ma 2k left behind. He’s going to hope to just take it down right here, otherwise be up against a smaller pair. But we looked that Cassell with the ace jack could have him dominated, but it seems unlikely that Cassell is just going to be happy to call this off. Look, when you’re in the big blind and you shove all in here for 20k, it it’s very unlikely to get through all these players under the gun. Under the gun plus two calls. I think ACEJ has to call here. It’s just too short and this guy Ma in the big blind could just have too many hands that you beat or flip against. And sure, there is a chance you’re dominated here at times, but for the price, again, pot odds, pot odds. I will scream pot odds until I’m banned from YouTube chat. Like, pot odds are a real thing here. Um, your opponent could have two nines, two tens, any any pair under your ace or jack. And we see an all-in shove from Cassell. He wants to run it. I like that. Cassell isolating Ma and ensuring that he’s going to be all in. Ace Jack versus King Jack. David Williams upset. But you had two sixes. No way David Williams would ever see or go to showdown there. More bucket hats and bracelets at this table. Says Tigers 10. You got to love the bucket hat. Thank you. A pair. Yeah. Sixes. Yeah. Queen jack. Ace jack. King jack. Queen jack. I got sixes. Give it to me all day, baby. The gambler coming out of Mr. Williams talking about how he wishes he could just risk it all here. King of the window here for M. Very unfortunate for Mr. Cassell. But two more cards to come. Hearts straight draws in the future working. Six on the turn. David Williams shattered. What am I doing? What am I doing? David Williams wishing he played worse or better. River is a four of spades. Right guy called right folded. Ma finds the double up. Why Why is David Williams worried about this? He would never be in there with sixes, right? There’s no there’s no scenario where you can profitably get sixes in there. It’s very tough, Remco. It’s a third of his stack. You have two three players behind behind you left to act. Well, it’s kind of like a pot odds equation again. Like David has the best range out of all those players. And when he doesn’t get three bet, you know, maybe his players behind don’t have all that stuff good stuff. But but yeah, David’s pretty down in his range. So, it’s a fine fold by David, he shouldn’t be too bad about it. That’s Yeah, if you Yeah, if I get in there, there’s no way I’m All right, you better get moving.

And Shawn Perry finds himself all in on the river. What happened in this hand, Tristan? What do we got? I mean, we got Tony, I’m trying to go home, bro. Six high. The heat is coming on. I just tried to give them all my chips. I’m trying to go home. It’s too hot here. He doesn’t call me though. I told him to call. Well, he’s not lying. He must be steaming. Find some air conditioning. Warning first. So, next time warning. I’m sweating on this table, man. I’m dying. I tried to tell him, man, I was going home, but All right, so maybe we have Perry blow up incoming. We saw him just play 6’4 offuit. Here he’s playing 54 offuit. And again, like I said, I can’t say I’m trying to go home. Dude, you don’t feel how hot it is. When you start playing these kind of holdings that are just so bad, I try to give him a gift. And I was just like, I couldn’t do it. The deck is usually going to come against you. Someone behind is going to pick up hands. And here we don’t really see too many good hands being dealt, but we do see the queen jack offsuit take a flop from the button. Wasn’t the blow up the part where he got trying to go home too or no? In there. Oh, no. you know, yeah, it’s kind of a blow up, but he did have two pair, so I give him a little kind of lenience. But I mean, this check kind of aggression might work. Excuse me. Well, I’m all for aggression. And if Aaron Zang is not doing it, then maybe Shawn Perry can get creative here. Arshima’s with the queen jack high. Okay. Okay. Nice. Somehow Sean Perry’s just playing the board. Aces and sevens with a 10 kicker. So he must bluff really if I’m him. I mean I don’t that’s what I would do. I like a big bet here. And that’s what we see. Perfect over bet 15,000 into 11. Now I was going to say let’s see if he much either. Quick toss there from Archimos. I mean, he’s selling. He’s advertising really well right now. Mr. Re, I don’t want to though. I want to go home. He continues the stick. I keep bluffing my chips away and they don’t call now. That’s your fans. It’s hot. I’m dying. That’s your fans. Is that my fans? I guess so. Look, we’re not trying to get bet on sports. So much money. What do you care about torching off 10k in the main event and just sacrificing your lottery ticket on the way to win a huge payout at first place for the final table? Well, it’s funny the way you you put that, but I think the main event more than anything, the fun of being in it should be enough, right? You should just want you just enjoy your time in the tournament no matter how rich you are. You know, we’ve seen David Einhorn probably worth a couple of billion, you know, peacefully grinding his way to a deep run many years ago. Uh, it’s just about the experience for most people. And I guess if you’re too hot, you just punch it off. You know, you’re steaming. I’m steaming. I’m sizzling, right? I’m out of here. You know, everyone’s got their own reason to do what they do. You You would give like an arm to be back in there. I would give a pinky. An arm is too much. I, you know, I had my chance and I got eliminated. So, I gracefully bow out because this is a freeze out and nobody should have two entries. Um, but we do see Zang pounce Mr. Aggress aggression. And again, these are the hands that like to be aggressive. This is maybe, you know, maybe it doesn’t always do this because these are early positions, but this is going to be great timing from Zang as Jehanc. But yeah, don’t get me wrong, I would love to be in this tournament. You could tell me I’m playing for another four hours of day two with the chance to advance with 40 big blinds. I would be so grateful. Um, but that’s just me as a person and my personality. You know, everyone in this life of being a human, we’re all different and uh some people just don’t care. Very philosophical like that. Yeah, I guess I like that. Bringing some some psychology to the table here. If you’re catching us for the first time, 10 p.m. in Las Vegas. We got probably about 3 hours of poker left here today. No breaks, no interruptions. I do think we’re going to get another table change in about an hour. Trying to rotate through a little bit. And tomorrow, Donnie, we got Necrono and Helmouth back in the mix. A bunch of other big names that uh bag chips on day three. I almost want to say that day three one of the most interesting days because they’re still dropping like flies, but we are solidifying some stacks that will ultimately see make deep runs. Yeah, I mean tomorrow’s the day onward towards the money bubble will probably get very very close to it. I’m not exactly sure it’ll break even though the percentage of the field that’s been left each day has been less than previous years. So, it does seem like we’re moving a little bit faster, but that can obviously change sort of any hour it can just start to slow down again. So, I think we’ll get pretty close to the money bubble by the end of day three and then we’ll come back on day four and burst that thing. A few big names here as we watch Mills decide on the A6. A few notables that backed big big stacks last night include Chad Power, James Ops, Bin Wang, Big Honey on almost 500K. That’s also going to be a force tomorrow on day three. Scrolling down the list to call a few more notables. See Farzad Bonyi old school. John Partardi on 380. Hendrickk Heckan on 380. Those are players you do not want to face. Infrared. Hunter asks, “How much of a delay is there?” We are on a pretty 45 minutes at this point. I’d pay 10,000. We are watching it live with you guys, but yeah, it’s 45minute delay. So, we do see here. Oh wow, look at this. Mills. Oh my god. This is going to be three ways. Mills jams over the top for 24k. Connor for 44 and Shabnik with the snap call. Two players at risk and Shabnik with the ace king well out in front. So they both do it for Ch. This is a great spot here. You you pick up a premium on the cutoff. You get the small blind to jam a worse ace. The big blind kind of aware of the situation thinking look maybe the small blind just going to pounce here. The the big blind jamming in 30 bigs themselves with ACEJ and Ace King suited happily. You know what I’m saying? It’s putting it in for 115k in chips. Two starting stacks in the middle. At least three, four, five. I told him I might feel something. Appreciate everyone in chat. We see you guys W chat on Poker. Go W chat and YouTube chat. Please hit the like button. We’re at 5.7K. We got thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people watching around the globe. Please support the channel. All right, showdown coming here. Shabnig looking to send two players to the exit and it comes 973. Ace King out in front here. 854 down to one six or running straight cards. Connor looking for one of the or one of the remaining jacks. Three pairs the board now. Have you ever seen a three-way chop? Three-way chop. Okay, I hate it, but it’s possible. We don’t want those chops. Both players that are all in looking for their side card, six or a jack, river card. Here’s the seven. Three-way chop. And this is why you see some ace X in shoving ranges because it can always chop with the ace king when the door when the board double pairs. So happy. I love this game. Three-way. I’ve never seen that before. Ace King of Hearts is sick. Look at that face right there from Shabnick. kind of a bad defense. Shabick, I mean, even six coming is okay. I know. Shout out by the way to our co- commentator Kevin Ghart often alongside of us when we have mixed games going on. I think I’m the only one,000 to day three. Michael Mazrai bagged basically the same stack yesterday that he did on day one. 330k something. Did do you keep any or Anderson? Leo Marett, you Frank, Jason Mercer, Eric Lindon, Greg Rramer. Okay, I’m going to stop right there. Lots of lots of big names tomorrow, day three. That’s why you professional, huh? Lots of notables in the mix. That was a DV moment right there. Only would have been better with a six. That’s why every time after you deal the flop, you stop like for like 50 seconds. You were looking for the three. After you found a three, do the three. And then another 30 seconds for the seven limb kind of showing, you know, even on a 20 big blind stack, you can have raises. I love to see suited aces in the range here for Lim. and Chung finds queens. It’s been his level so far here on the main stage. Okay, the idea here is when you have these really short stack sub 20 big blinds opening, you can three bet them pretty small. So, we see a bigger three bet raise here. That’s okay, too. Just trying to get the money in. How you make good fold king? Even better. No, that’s fine. That’s a still a good strategy even though we see if you really have time over to the main stage for an announcement. The final tally is in. We know how many players entered. We know how many players will get paid. What’s the top for the winner? You don’t supposed to find out what all these players are playing for as we have the prize pool of the 2025. All right, players in the main event, your prize pool has been posted this year. The 2025 WSB main event. We have 9,735 entries generating a prize pool of 92,579,580. We’re going to pay 1461. That min cash is going to be $15,000 from 1461 places up. Once you reach that final table, ninth place will be $1 million. So that entire final table will walk away this year as millionaires. That first place prize will take home $10 million and that WSOP main event bracelet. Well, once again guys, 1461 payouts. Men cash at 15,000. Final table is all getting 1 million. First place, $10 million. Good luck everyone. Enjoy. Shout out to Andy, longtime staff member of the WSOP. Was once upon a time a dealer, now running the show with his incredible team. So there you have it. 1,400 places paid, give or take a few. And then we have millionaires at the final table and 10 million up top. The third largest main event in history. 10 million up top. Donnie, how do we like those payouts? Look good to me. I saw this before. Uh, no. Too steep. Not steep enough. When I’m looking at the final table, we’ll we see an all-in and a call here or an allin and a reallin. Let’s talk about the payouts in a second. All right. From the poker pro perspective. Oh boy. Please, let’s go down this lane. There is no lane to go down. There is a lane to go down. There’s not. This actually looks I think they look fantastic. Yeah, it looks clean, quote unquote, but when you go through all the payouts anyway, I got a little I got a little bone to pick. A6 ace jack again. Just need one of your fours, Rob. All right, we got fours versus king queen. Excuse me, ace queen. Coin flip situation. Mills at risk again Connor. This time no third wheel. So these guys are going to fight it out headtohead. If he can deal this board chop, it’s going to be crazy. Here’s the flop. Ace king five. Connor takes the lead right away. Back door wheel or four for Mills or else his main event will be done. Five pairs. So now four and a four only. River card is the seven of diamonds. That is it. Mills eliminated. Conru will take this one down. And as we go down the payouts a little bit further, which I always find interesting. Uh 10th and 11th. They got 750, 12 and 13, 560. Then we go down to 450, 360. I think that it is it is nice and gradual in that sort of tier. Okay. And I also like the fact that you can just say final nine 1 million. Okay. Of course. Of course you do. That’s fine. But here’s where my problem lies. First place 10 million. Second place 6 million. So we have a $4 million heads up. And that’s mostly becoming because we want 10 million to be first. And that’s the captivating number, right? We knew we we knew WSOP was going to put 10 million to first. Well, I knew that was going to happen no matter how many people they have because they don’t want to shy away from eight figures up top. But what I what I have a problem, it goes 10 million, 6 million, 4 million, 3 million, 2.4 million, 1.9 million, 1.5 million, 1.25 million, 1 million. So by getting everyone to get at least a million dollars, we have these huge pay jumps from first to second and then second to third where if this was a more balanced pay structure, the money would be divided a bit more evenly. I couldn’t disagree more. I think that and I’m I’m I’m one who usually has, you know, a bone to pick on on a variety of things as it pertains to WSOP. I think this is great. I think this is perfect. Uh, obviously when Jamie Gold won, I think it was 12 million to six million. But where are you coming from with that opinion? Like where does that come? How is it great? It’s great for the guy who wins first. What about all the It’s the dream. It’s the main event dream. It’s the dream. It is the dream, right?$10 million. Let’s And let’s see. We do see a set here. Currently beating two pair as this hand plays out. While you know, I’m about to go crazy on Rem Cove real quick. So, let’s just embrace a poker hand. No, neither player is gonna put any money in here as straights and flushes come. But here’s my point. Sure, it’s great. The dream is to turn $10,000 into 10 million. I agree. That’s a freaking fantastic dream. But what about spreading money throughout the poker economy? What about that? That creates more money in circulation for more people to play more events? And that’s really what we need to think about when it comes from the poker playing community. It’s great if you’re the WSOP and you can say, “Hey, we’re giving 10 million to the winner.” But this is people, this is customers and poker players that come and we put up the money. The WSOP isn’t adding any money to this. There’s no sponsors. They’re taking money out of the prize pool that the players put up. So, if you want to have these massive payouts, then add something to it. Add something to it. Why don’t you get uh Jack Beef Jinx Lurky whatever to add money? Why don’t we get Copag to add money? Excuse me. I’m I’m being on a little tangent right now. I disagree. I disagree. Great. But I’m just saying, you know, you could make multiple people $2 million winners, $3 million winners. When you have the last two players playing for $4 million and third place is getting $4 million. Like those are sick sick pay jumps. The pay jump from 9th to eighth is only $250,000. The pay jump to eighth to 7th is only 250,000. So that’s the same pay jump from 9 to 8 to 8 to 7. You have no incentive to try to get ninth, eighth, or seventh. You just I’m too passionate. Remco’s telling me to calm down. I’m crashing out. Yeah, I’m crashing out. This is a product of my dad’s genes inside of me. You know, I get very passionate. But um No, I just think it’s wrong. I think that 90 90 people get 100K. You know, there’s tons of people making big money. And I think that when when you get to that point on the big stage, that’s also what millions of people will watch across, you know, the entire globe. And I think that if you smooth it out a little bit more, some people getting an extra 20k further down the pay jumps payouts, I don’t think is going to make that much of a difference. I think that I’m talking about final table payouts. I think I don’t I honestly think it doesn’t matter. I think it’s completely irrelevant. How do you have you have to play to win? If you make ninth place, there’s no there’s no difference in getting ninth to seventh. It’s 500k. 9th to sixth is only 900k. All the money is in first, second, or third, which is what we’re seeing, you know, typically in the poker space, but this payout in general is just awarding, you know, the most money to the top. All right, I digress. Thank you, chat, for bearing with me on my spiel there. But, you know, if we if we took all the money that’s up for play, 30 million in the final nine, and we split it a little more evenly, the payouts would look something like 6 million to first, 4.5 million to second, 3.5 million to third, fourth gets 3 million. You know, we could we could divvy it up a little bit more appropriately in terms of percentages. That’s kind of my point. Sounds like you wanted this to be a survivor tournament. I don’t I don’t I love the fact that there’s so much money to be won. Everyone doubles their money. We all go home. Yeah. Yeah. No, I’m just saying like look, I disagree. You You don’t get to play You don’t get to play for millions of dollars that regularly. You never get to play for 10 million. So this is where the World Series of Poker main event is a is a complete anomaly. But all I’m saying is right to make more people more money that spreads in the economy, we need more consistent payouts. That’s it. Yeah. So, a survivor. Not a survivor. We got 30 million to divvy up and you want the top three places to have 20 million of it. I mean, fine. Okay. I mean, I I just think that this this entire tournament is an anomaly. Therefore, give me the anomaly of payouts. I also think that actually these are the best payouts I think I’ve ever seen for the WP main event. So, normally we have a lot of gripes, but this I think this is very, very good. So before we get back to the action fully, I just want to point out that over the years, what I’ve had a gripe with at the at the WSOP payouts is that the gap between the final 18 and the final nine and those jumps in between were ridiculous. And now that has been smoothed out much better with jumps that are meaningful, but still not too crazy. And I think once it’s the final table, that’s that’s the like that’s like the big lottery, the big show. I think that’s the way they have it set up is great. I love it. Um, it’s okay. You’re doing good. I just think this is this is really good the way it looks. Better better than last two. If anything, to to go to your point, Tristan, to to make the case for what you’re trying to say, instead of smoothing out the final table, I would just take a couple million off the final table and give more more money to the bottom rung, you could do that, too. But but but but what I’m saying is that that instead of smoothing it out, D Oh my goodness. Snap. Anyway, Perry three and a half with Zang in the big blind with ace8. Zang has been me and my best friend conservative on the feature table here. All right. Seems to call me your best friend. You’re taking it easy on me. Calls 3500. Can you send me home or no? No. Middle set here for Shawn Perry. He’s going to basically have a hammer lock on this hand. Although Zang with back door diamonds and a back door straight draw. Look, don’t get me wrong, guys. The WSP is amazing. Like, there’s no other tournament you’re turning 10K into this much money. So, I know I’m bitching a little bit. You don’t want to send me home, but I can’t. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit, you know, but but when you have that much money to spread or to get out, you could spread out a little bit more. The pay jumps at the final table are kind of insane. It’s an insane tournament. insane tournament, but but in a strategy game, you’ve changed the way you don’t need to wait for him to play a final take. You don’t need to wait for him. Yeah, I understand. But that that’s part of what makes this such an incredible spectacle. Understood. That’s why. So, I I like it. Now, a couple years ago when they decided to make first place 12,100,000 just to best 2006 even though it’s no longer 2006. Like, that was wild. Okay. So now bringing it back down to more Listen, it’s not going to be normal and I personally don’t believe that it should be normal. It’s not a normal tournament. Exactly. Exactly. That that’s that’s the point we’re making. If this tournament happened once a month, I would be with you. This is a once a year experience, right? We we we sort of quote unquote put this out there to the universe through whatever all the social media clips and all the videos. Part of this is the insanity of it. That’s part of the cell. That’s part of what makes this so special. And I think that that there’s also, you know, you can cross a line and take it too far. 06 main event payouts. Those are atrocious. The 06 main event payouts, but they are completely different from these payouts. I think that I think that this is fine. Also, I’m also totally fine with being wrong. Maybe you’re right, but I think the way they look now is good. Yeah, look, and of course, let us know in the chat what you guys think. Uh, put a poll in the chat. We have over a thousand votes. Is the main event payout good? 62% saying yes. Look, I’m just another idiot. You know, opinions are like [ __ ] Everyone got one. I’m just another [ __ ] with an opinion, right? So, we’re all idiots. That’s fine. So, so you know, I’ll take a breath, everybody. But, you know, when 11th and 10th are making 750 and the pay jump to 11th and 9th is 7 is 250 and then it’s another 250. We have 11th to 7th, the pay jump is just 250, 250, 250. and then it’s 400 and then it’s 500 and then it’s 600k and then it’s a million and then it’s 2 million and then it’s four million like yeah it’s just a little a little a little out there but again the whole thing is out there I understand but like does this whole let me ask you a question then does this set a bad precedence for other poker tournaments that want to entice people to come play and then all of a sudden we’re giving you know 25 or 30% of the prize pool to first place or top three instead of spreading it out towards theund the 15%. If another tournament in the world ever comes close to being the WSB main event, go do whatever you want, okay? But no tournament will ever come close to this tournament. It’s never going to happen. So, I’m fine with this being an anomaly. I also think that personally having a $10 million first place prize attached to what is poker’s Super Bowl is ultimately better than evening out the money cuz that’s what sucks people in. Okay. Well, let me ask this. With all the money that this creates from the players, could we ever get the WSOP or other sponsors to add money instead of the players having to support that money to make it 10 million? Could we ever get an extra million from a company or a sponsor or somebody to add something to spice this up since it is such a great event? It is the pinnacle of poker. Could there be some addition from an outside source aside from the players adding their own money? What about that? I mean, it would need to take that would need to take poker getting big enough sponsors would get into in a similar fashion that they get into golf, but poker’s not on the scale of golf yet. So, I don’t think that that’s going to happen. I think, okay, cuz that’s an interesting comparison, right? Golf gets a lot of sponsors and these guys are making millions of dollars. And granted, I understand, you know, the payouts in golf are topheavy, too, but I don’t, you know, so yeah, it’s it’s just an interesting thing to talk about. The industry needs a mix of operators and players to come together and come up with the best case scenarios, the best options here, because if we just let the operators decide, the players will get screwed. And I’m just going to say that flat out. as a poker player in this industry for over 20 years, the players are always going to get screwed. And we are the customers, you know, we are the customers. We create these prize pools. So, if we don’t hold the operators to having good rates, to having good structures, and to having fair payouts and treating players good, then it hurts the overall industry and it hurts the product. The same I don’t have a real hand. We’re just going to have to agree to disagree. How can How can I get on? You tell me. You give me good hand this one. I can give sure show you to keep the show down. All right. And thank you guys. I know I’m I’m a little out there, but there’s not also a time and a platform where you get to talk about this stuff on such a big stage. A check plus and Limo in the game with nines. Gets it done. No showdown. I got you. Back to the action here. The chat’s loving it. Everybody is agreeing to disagree. Good bit. Good bit of talk. Yeah. Thanks, guys. I’m done now. I’ll get back to being a nobody. I’ll fade to black. Nice. 30 minutes later, we’re going to move back to our home. But it’s good to have these in these conversations, I think, because they don’t take place that often. Well, I want to win 10 million. Please do. I hope my 10 million. Someone will win 10 million and it will be phenomenal and it will be unbelievable. And they’ll also win a $500,000 bracelet that Chris Angel hid in his briefcase or something. So, that is an added bonus that is outside of the scope of prize money from the players. Did he bring the bracelet back? Have we gotten a the the word on whether or not the bracelet has come back? I know yesterday they showed the or was it yesterday or two days ago they showed the bracelet box. It had no bracelet cuz Chris Angel took it away. Chung in a spot here. Finds two tens. Perry open. Perry’s been opening a very wide range of hands. Zang three bet. Oh, and Kim finds ace king. 11,000. He flats. Yeah, the 10’s got out of the way. And Kim didn’t really think long at all before flatting. Perry also folds. Oo. An out flop here for Ace King. There it is. And out of position. And now you are a little scared here because you have a cold call of a three bet from the blinds. But I I still think you probably want to bet ace jack. But it goes check check. And Kim with the ace of spades in his hand. I don’t know if that’s going to be any consideration on doing some stuff. And we are going to do some stuff here. 12,500. 12 bet 12,500. And Zang has been quiet all level, which surprises me a little bit. But given this current situation, would you just want to keep Kim betting? Yeah, you don’t do anything but call. If you check the flop, there’s no real raising here. He he does have a strong range. And I know some people in chat are talking about Chung folding tens in the small blind. There was a raise and a re-ra, so kind of hard to navigate in those spots. Chung was kind of deep enough if he wanted to have some flat calls there. You know, those would exist for maybe tens and jacks and ace queen suited and stuff, but we do see a raise here. So, kind of a delayed value raise here with the best of it from Jiang. Now, what are we getting value from here? Check raising with ace jack. Yeah, I don’t know. I guess he’s just raising. Yeah, he Oh, sorry. Sorry. He’s not check racing. I I guess when you check the flop and you get a safe turn card, you can still beat ace queen. You still beat ace king. I don’t really understand the idea as much here because you are up against a tighter range. You could be up against two queens. You could be up against a slow play. You can’t let me shoot him too if he jam my f. So, and there see my curse. But it’s a future table. So, you can always, you know, So you just send it over to Jeff with Liv Burie out in the field. She’s coming off a fourth place finish at the Super Main at WSOP Paradise. It’s Liv Burie here for the WSOP man. If you could stand up for me for a quick sec. Is this your first tournament since then? Um I’ve technically played one little one for about two hours in January. We’ll say first tournament since basically. Um you’ve had a little bit of time. How do you reflect on a score like that? Um I mean it’s still not sunk in. Yeah. Does it ever? I don’t know. You tell me. It’s It’s Yeah, it’s weird. Um I mean, I’m ready for the next one. Okay. The hunger is never satiated. You know, there’s always more to There’s always more glory to chase and there’s always more to talk to you about, but for now, I’m just going to send you back to the action. You guys are feature table, so you’ll see plenty of them to come. Liv Burie, Santos, Jonathan, Jaffy, and company. All right. Thanks, Jeff. So, we’re going to be get Liv Burie in here for the final level of the night. She of course cashed for 2.8 8 million in the Paradise main event on the Bahamas. Mustafa Kit third for 3.6. Marcelo Aziz 4.6 million second. And Ginanzu winning that thing for $6 million. You’re welcome. I I like hearing from Liv Bereie that she can really have that humble moment that it still hasn’t sunk in even though she’s had a $1.6 million score before, right? you know, like it it’s still winning that amount of money means something. It’s one of the most fun I’ve had covering a tournament when Liv won EBD San Remo back in 2010. She was basically a game show contestant who got into poker and she was, you know, trying to make it work in the poker world, but not necessarily, you know, considered a top poker professional. But it was like a Cinderella run in that huge EP where she won $1.6 million by the way, 1240 players, a 5k euro main event. She beat Yakob Carlson heads up at the time, one of the top online crushers. And yeah, that sort of lifted her into a new stratosphere when it comes to poker. And there were many years between that score and her Paradise score, but it’s awesome to see her still hunt. Now you don’t have any taking on the feature table back in your hotel round after the upcoming uh switch. Why are you coming to Vegas then? I had the wrong mindset. Yeah, you got to be optimistic. You make for the final table. You have to be on, right? You got to get you got to get a shirt. I mean, even if you make the final like five tables, I’ll get one set out here tomorrow. Next thing you know, it’s like 20 patches of just like different patch. They paid me. I’ll wear any I’ll take one. We see players talking sponsorships. I’ll wear any patch. So, yeah, let’s get more money into the poker world. If there’s any businesses out there, there was a a Wild Wild West back in, you know, 2008. Well, it was like, I guess 7 89 was like the peak of that, I think. Yeah. Oh, man. You’d get pay 5K a day just to wear a patch or a hat. Yeah. Oh, funniest story about that. There was a there was a Dutch player I was covering back in ’09 and he got he got moved to the feature table like the secondary feature table. I think it was like Helmy’s table or something. And the full tilt poker representative came up to him and said, “Hey, uh do you want to wear a full tilt poker hat for $5,000?” And he goes, “I don’t wear hats.” And he just didn’t want to didn’t want to wear anything. I don’t want to wear hat for any kind of money. Yeah. It was I thought it to me as a 21-year-old at the time, my my head exploded. I was like, you get half your buying back on day one just to wear a hat for a few hours. Should have just put it on the tape like on the rail, right? You know what’s what’s the difference? True. But, you know, you guys are businessmen. You guys are intelligent. You know, that there was too much money flying around back then. People didn’t care. There was actually a a horde of, you know, representatives of all these online sites running around to lock down these feature table players as fast as possible. I remember during that era. Yeah, we’re see David Williams going to get some good value here on the turn from a pair of threes. He’s going to love to see this showdown here. Let’s go. Yeah. I mean, they were just handing out money to people, especially even if you went deep. Five of diamonds with that three. I think you were even getting more money the deeper you went, right? And then at the final table, had you won the event with a patch on, but that was a specific full tilt promotion at right. It was a full tail promotion. I think there might have been some other promotions from some other sites at that point, too. All right, back to the main table here. Limb the pocket kings parry with four deuce offsuit. Okay, why not? Yeah, I mean Lim has been one of the tightest players at this table. You know, so tight that you could even say what’s Perry doing here with deuce4 offsuit in the big blind to defend. You know, Lim raised in second position. The small blind Connor called. Perry came along with the deuce 4. Perry bet 3k on the flop and Lim called. Now Perry’s betting 7K and Lim has sprung the trap. He comes to raise now and Perry lets it go. The heat just getting to him like a dog in Florida humidity [Laughter] and great hand there from Lim. Got the max value from four high. No, there are there are times on boards like 763 76x that the big blind will want to lead, but I I don’t think that it’s monotone. Monotone throws it off. So, if it’s like 763 rainbow, you know, you can have some leads there from the big blind because in theory, you’re going to connect a little bit more than somebody who’s raising from an earlier position. But if it’s monotone, you know, your opponent just needs really the ace, the king, even the queen of hearts, you know, jack of hearts. They’re going to be able to play in position pretty correctly against you. You know, Shauna asked earlier in the chat, what Tristan, what do you think your uh your best tips are for playing the main event or what are the mistakes you see people make the most? And I think playing too loose is probably the biggest mistake you could make and we’re kind of seeing that from Mr. Perry and we’ve seen him get in a lot of trouble so far because Well, he did say he wanted to go home. I understand. But, you know, I think I think that was after he lost to the 10. But I kind I mean, I kind of believe it. Yeah, maybe he maybe he’s being very honest here. But maybe it’s more like I would rather go home or have 400k like one or the other. I understand. But deuce four 108 offuit under the gun. You know, there’s a time and a place. Um, so Connor here going to rejam ace 10 offuit. [ __ ] nice. And Archimus with king jack basically flipping here for his last. Ace 10 best of it right now. Since since you calling the cards, why don’t you just call the king? You just want a jack. That’s all you want. Why don’t you call the king? A jack will help him to queen six deuce. King jack. Still looking for a king or a jack. Okay. Spade. Spade. You sure? Spades. No good here. Five on the turn. No help. If you stand up right now, you’re going to hit river. Zang telling him about the tricks. You stand up right now. You hit the river. King on the river did not need to stand up. It would have been funnier if he actually had stood up. Slow that down. That’s a composed cat right there. Nice find there on the river. You should just stand up. Did the mag river come? You know what I mean? He said he said he didn’t have to. It’s It’s good for TV. Yeah, that was better for TVs. I agree with Zank there. Then that’s a sign of weakness. Oh. All right, we are approaching the final level of the night, but let me just remind you that playpo.com is still there for you to have some some fun for free. Excuse me. Available on web, iOS, and Android. We got a free roll every hour on the half hour. Much more on there as well. Cash tournaments and goes as we look at Chris Vitch. I see Anthony Spanella in the background. Always just scanning those tables to see Who else is peacefully grinding in the main events? I’ll be back tomorrow. Jeff Plat and Bren Hanks on the call all day long. When you come back, we’ll switch different tables. The first day during which all players are playing at the same time. Oh, baby, this is spicy. We just doubled up with king jack by shoving before. Now we’re shoving 30 plus big blinds from second position with this hand. We get a better hand to fold because there’s so many hands behind us. We’re probably going to see king too. I I love I kind of love this. I mean, I know this is not probably what you’re supposed to do, but the man just doubled with king jack and he finds it again. He guy’s like, “Let’s go.” Okay, we’re in there. Yeah, when we talk about risk versus reward, this is way too risky. We see two hands that dominate his folded. It’s It’s just too much. Maybe this works and it’s going to work. It’s just too much. Too bad we’re too scared. Maybe he’s in a show again. Think about it. All right. Good luck to you. And he does. Oh my goodness. Back to back mojo pays off here for Archamas. I go, you know what? I’m going to have King Jack. How we doing? You know what? Is that really your I’m doing good without you. Uhoh. Someone found you some cards. Not really, but this one really good. What? What you say? He played this one really good. You play this one really good. He say he say he play this really good. Why you ace jack? Ace 10. You ace jack. Yeah. Good luck. You can’t give your ace jack to him. You played it perfect. And look, this is just again another kind of thing you see in the main event. That’s all that matters. That guy might just play solid all day, then all of a sudden I’m all in with the king jack. Oh, I doubled up 30 bigs. I’m all in again. You just have so many people that come do some unorthodox things you wouldn’t expect. How many hours? Nice. Kim gonna take try his luck with the king jack offuit now. and Sean Perry finding another hand to run a bluff with. He does have an ace in his hand, so that is one thing that’s helpful. And despite being shorter on stack on chips, Shawn Perry continues to just play his aggressive style which is I mean commendable I guess but he is continuing to increase. You say this one is legit the risk of getting eliminated. Kim comes along makes the call with King Jack and Connor now getting a nice price with 97 of diamonds. They’re going to have three-way action. 31k in the middle. Barry basically a potiz bed left here. Yeah, I mean this is not what you want when you’re three betting two people with a4 off. You don’t want them both to call. 988 on the flop. Connor top pair and Connor might just have ideas when he flops two pair here. Smooth that hand with ace 10 versus king jack on the river. He’s going to take the betting lead,000. comes in for 8,000. It’s nice when he works out. Yeah. How bad does Sean Perry want to be here right now? Worked for me. Definitely the side the fold when I do snap fold, but I like did couple second of stalling for camera. Yeah, unlucky spot for you. So, are we going to stay or a new trip for you? Well, just wondering. Yeah, I don’t know. If we’re staying, I think I’m surrendering chips. I think only C7 want to stay. Do you agree? Yeah, sure. I want to leave. Oh, yeah. Right. Need the sunscreen here. Donnie, our co-workers Tim and Brent are still peacefully grinding out there. How they doing? Brent said he was up to 85, down to 40, up to 85, down to 40, and now sitting on 60. And I think Tim coming into the break was at 115,000. So, and I have a message from Tim. Oh, do you now? Just cracked Makita Badzikowsky’s aces. Oh my god. Wow. So, I I don’t have an update after that, but that’s the text I have. I need I need the chip count, though. How much is he up to? Tim Duckworth, Kamish, BGT. All right. Maybe some good luck here for Perry as he raises on the hijack with king 10 offuit and he finds himself in a dominating position over the king nine from the big blind safe turn card and Perry’s probably pretty comfortable for to just go for value over three streets here from what he’s seen from Archamas so car. That is 7,000. Don’t even wait to put the money in, huh? And Archus again with a quick call for on the river. Expect period maybe to go for Oh, he is just going to put it in. Okay. Barry all in for 23,000. And does this guy look like he came here to full top pair? I don’t think so. I also think that Oh yeah, call made full double up for Shawn Perry. And just nipped from Archamas. I do not blame him whatsoever there. I mean Shawn Perry has been advertising how much he wants to go home. He’s sweating from the brow home with this heat, bro. He really is hot. But I mean, you get more hot when you play bad at the poker table. And when you went from 150k to 60k, that might also make you hot. But maybe he’ll cool down now after he doubles up. Got 144k for Tim Duckworth. Wow. Wow. You might as well put him at the final table. He’s going to hold on to those chips. Life and death, right? How did he get it in bad? What What did he double up with? Here we go to Wasu. And just for the safety of our viewers, we’ve decided to mute the audio. Uh I think that everybody will appreciate that. There we go. Will Cassu getting the silent treatment? No, no one gets to hear what he has to say. We’ve listened to him way too much. We do want to point out that he’s in the main event. Little inside joke there from a production team. I I respect it. I appreciate it. I do enjoy this more now that I can’t hear him. will kuf. Everybody can imagine what he said. It’s always the same. Nine high like a boss. I also got a message from Tim that says, “Should I be playing three bet pots with 10 six of clubs?” Which I don’t know if that’s the hand that that he means that he he busted the aces or sorry, cracked the aces of Makita, but it seems like it cuz you know, look at this. We got a raise from Ma to 3,000. and winch all in for 46k. Arthur with fours giving it some thought. She meanwhile has continued to chip up. Tristan, are you shocked that she’s even thinking here with pocket fours after a raise and a shove? I mean, yeah. We got a 3k raise in middle position. Small blind rips it. It’s a lot of chips. pair. But you know, people like to think Well, not really good. Really good pair. It’s going right in there. Yeah. Really good. There’s no equity for me there. That’s like 9,000. I don’t know. I know. But there’s no That’s the thing. Secret. Arthur and Camp. I won’t tell. Somewhere somewhere around there. You know, it’s awesome to see more women playing poker. I’ve really seen an increase. Oh my god. Give me your card. What? Sevens was the cut off that you were Arthur kind of saying, “Give me sevens.” There’s not really a big difference. If she’s tanking with fours, it might need sixes. I mean, she might ready to go with sixes. She says she’s kidding. There’s really not a big difference in terms of how those equities play out between sevens and fours. Like I would assume that maybe like nines through fours probably are all played the same way. But the bigger issue in that last seven was there was a raise and then you have ace king. You got to worry about that as well. But yeah, just shout out to all the female poker players as we see Debs here in the big blind with two kings. This is a welcome site on around 20 big blinds. 14 to 14,000. Oh, we do see a three bet. Love it. Yeah. And what? Ma just quickly going to call 11k more with queen eight suited after he’s got some chips himself. This is again unorthodox. A very weak holding when you’re up against someone who’s going to have a very strong holding. Debs is one probably never bluffing here. And the hands that Debs wants to do this with probably are like kings and aces only. And David finds this to be the right price for A7 suited if it goes all the way to the river. So I I’m sure Debs is just going to shove any good flop for him, right? Queen 10 31 diamonds. That’s it. While hitting a queen. GGS. Yeah. Look, if you call with a queen eight, this is the flop you want, but you’re not going to love to see two kings here. diamonds. All right, so Deb’s in a terrific spot to double up the 87,000. Those are the meaningful chips. If he holds up here, good luck. All right, an eight and an eight only as the two other queens have been folded. back door clubs available, but David Williams also folded two D, excuse me, back door diamonds available as David Williams also fold the diamonds. So that also unlikely. An eight and an eight only a queen or an eight. Oh, excuse me. A queen or an eight. Oh, there two queens. Okay, my bad. Yeah, four spades on the river and Debs will get a full double up plus a little bit. This pays off. I wish I could see the dead cards when I’m playing. I know like, oh, the equity is not real. Oh, I just have to fade the 38, not the other two queens. 6%. No problem. Yeah, that for chat. Chat’s kind of saying stuff. Yeah, that’s a little out of line of a of a hand there. Queen eight, queen eight suited is is pretty far down there. If that was like a queen jack suited or queen suited, I think it makes a little more sense. Um, but you know, Ma paid the price there. Yeah, he got tired of you right there. Hand on the jack. All in. Oh, we got another all in. Archimus at risk here. Connor with ace king of hearts versus king five on jack 54 10. Oh, wow. So many outs here, but the king five out in front. It’s not fair. Yeah, we saw a raise from Conor under the gun. Middle position call. Archimos calls on the button. The blinds call. Conor River bets eight aka bus calls. Turn around back. And now you’ve always been losing to him though, right? I can’t beat it. So I want you to win. You’re going to give me the chips and his chips. This is wild. It’s like a circle and he keeps taking mine. We’re We’re playing musical chairs over here. Don’t listen to him. I didn’t expect to be there. Now you should stand up and grab pretend to grab your back. Everything. He’s also trying to go home with me. Why are you calling that? Who’s calling what? On the flop. All right. River card. Oh my god. The four of spades. Just like I told you, they were playing musical chairs. Now it’s my turn to take your sit down. King five holds up. And this table, you notice the first hour they were very quiet. They’ve gotten a little bit I take your chance when you go to the cards. Why? I didn’t see that. Yeah. I think Sean Perry along with Zay getting a little in the mix now. No, I saw I saw that’s why I thought it I saw you joining Dave. You don’t want to call too good. That’s why these guys are getting a little comfortable under the the cameras and the bright lights. All right. So after this, you know, you can’t beat him. He can’t beat you. And then we all can’t be C7. You know, you know what I mean? Just find the right guy to play with. Hey. Yeah. And then you can’t beat me, too. So yeah. Circle of life. Hey buddy, ask the guy. You play poker. The guy who I signed a poker card must have nine lives. You want You want to play for me? I can’t over it. All right. I don’t know. I don’t think that’s allowed. Sean Perry, but come sweat my hand. Come tell me what to do. Raise to 9,000. I think he’s going to hold his hand. Best hand we’ve seen him have. More or less. Connor with two fours. Perry. I’m gonna I’m gonna I’m gonna dust away the money anyways and keep it all. What’s her name? Jessica. No, she’s already too rich. Look at her. No way. Name is Chris. So, they just call you Jinger. Connor here with the raise of two fours. Perry three bets. There’s Ralph Perry. Now I know why I don’t have cards. Sean’s dad. Yo, you ready for the circle of life? You know the reason. He gives you chips. I give you I don’t use your Anybody know here? What the heck? Yo, Junior. Typically cold in the casino, Sebastian. But when you’re playing under these lights, these are very to start the hand. So that’s kind of why these players are feeling it a little bit. Are we staying? We are staying. I told him like 3 minutes ago. Are you trying to count how many chips of mine you’re going to take again? He’s licking his lips over there. We’re going to stay for two hours. We going back in that room now. We’re going to stay for two more hours. I don’t really. Yes. Okay. All right, everybody go. Made by Connor takes that one with his ace queen of spades. No, they want to go break. It’s going to pee. Come on. I finally beat you in a pot. All tournament dealers in the main event. If you want to beat that hand, send your players on a 20 minute break. Thank you guys. One last hand. 20 minute break. All players in the main event. So you guys see the tournament director making an announcement there that the players are going on a break. They are they are going on a 20-minute break, but because we are on a delay and the power of technology, we’re going to zip right through that break. Should be long gone. I’m going after you again, but it’s not going to last 20 minutes for us. So that’s why I don’t need jean. Don’t worry about that. I borrowed the tag from a woman who works in the five players and five. Most of them shouldn’t be here. They’re just lucky. Yo, you can’t just let me steal the blinds. I’m trying to steal last hand when everyone’s not. Come on, bro. I raised any two here, bro. Just let me steal. Just let me steal. You going to let me steal now or no? Perry not lying. He He really wants to steal. He’s got four high here and Connor with top pair. He’s just going to come out with a lead. Yeah. Perry opened under the gun 3500. Connor called. Montru is leading. It’s not going to work this time, man. Uh-oh. Ray’s coming. 10K. It’s not working this time. I said just let me steal the blinds, bro. That’s all I cared about. Perry’s being honest, but Connor with top pair here after leading. I don’t think he has any ideas of letting this go. But Perry enabling the speech play as we see it. Yeah. And this is where it gets tricky when you do lead with a hand like this cuz now you have the best of it. But you’re allowing your opponent to kind of blow you off. All I want to do is steal a blind. Well, show me your hand. No way. And we’re just going to see top pair. Bro, what are you doing, dude? Look. I got the four. Connor is gonna see that he got parried. Bro, I told you all I want to do is steal the blinds, dude. All right, we have to go on a quick little break. We are out of uh time to cut. So, six minutes of highlights before the final level of the night. Two more hours to play and we got to ask the production guys. Liv Burie coming to the main feature table as stacks getting bagged up. Sounds like there’s no way, bro. We’re playing another two hours here. All right, so two more hours of play to come here, but not before I remind you of the rags to riches promo. Win a 5K poker package by going to trueclasstes.com/tcpoker go will draw a random winner to come play an event at the Poko Studio in Las Vegas at the end of this year. So once again, trueclasstes.com/TC Poker Go. All right, six minutes of highlights, then two more hours of play to cap things off here. Thanks for watching. We’ll be right back. place in this year’s 50k PPC. $108,000 going the way of Chris Vic place. $142,700. So $21,200. Yeah, right around there is is what they’re they’re sweating here. So pays are starting to get up there, huh? I’m not mad at it. 20 20 grand. Heck no. Heck no. Every pay jump is a good thing. Andrew waking up with the goods here on the button. King King Johnson with a defendable jack eight of diamonds in the big blind. This is one of those spots where when you’re the chip leader on the button, you’re just like, “Oh, they’re never going to believe.” They’re never going to believe me. They’re just never going to believe me. I get to open 100% of hands here. And now here we are with two kings. Can we hold and get some value? Johnson does come along. Wow. King 97 two diamonds. A loaded flop here between Johnson and Yay. We’re going to see three bets on this flop. Andrew is going to bet. Johnson’s going to raise his straight flush draw and Andrew is going to re raise his three kings. And well, if we see another straight flush, I mean, we might as well just wrap it up for the night. Okay. Well, it was the 10 of spades. I mean is lurking there somewhere. Wow. Johnson comes with a check. Just a call. Okay, we should have equity with everything. Three of diamonds right away. Johnson makes his flush. Doesn’t have it locked up yet. Of course, Yay with top set. Can improve to a full house or also quads. Yay does not have the king of diamonds in his hand. Yeah. Another bet here from Andrew Yay. Now, this is where where Johnson’s going to spring the trap. This is where we we hear the word raise. There it is. Check raise to 320. Again, we are playing limit holdm here. So, can’t just pile all the money in. But still, this one’s going to get nice and big. Almost 1.2 million in the pot now that Andrew has called. Big river card here. Pair the board dealer. Deuce of clubs. That’s going to leave Johnson with the best hand with his flush. Value bet incoming. Yeah, Andrew has to pay off here. He beats all sets. Just don’t raise because when you raise, you get three bets. Yeah, he’s just very quickly calling. Yeah, three kings. You heard Andrew Yay say so sick. Johnson quickly asked him if he had three kings and Andrew said yes. And Johnson goes, “If I raise the flop, I get an extra bet.” Yeah, that’s exactly what have happened. And a lot of times you see do see players with their big draws in limit hole and just really drive that 32,700. So, that’s where we’re at right now in terms of the payouts. Of course, everyone has their eyes set on the $1.3 million first place prize that awaits the winner in this year’s 50k PPC. E dog on the button with just a minra. Yay. Folding the small blind. We don’t know what E dog’s whole cards are yet, but probably expect there to be an ace in there. Very long discussion during the commentary last night. Jo, right? See, on an EP once, actually it was EP. I remember it very vividly. Yeah, just roughly. I introduced myself to Jah. He said, “You’re not saying my name correctly.” I said, “Okay, how do I say it?” He told me and then I repeated. He said, “It’s still not correct.” I mean, we probably did that exchange seven times in that moment. And I was like, at the end of it, I was like, “Listen, man. I’m just a dumb American, okay? I can’t do this. Okay? Your name’s Joe. I’m sorry. You’re just going to have to be Xiao.” And and that’s as close as I can get it. My mouth does not work like that. So, I do apologize, but that’s as good as it’s going to get. As we see, EOG did have an ace in his hand. flops and ace does have blockers to the straight, blockers to the flush. Jah turns the nuts with the 89. We’re going to see a bet here. Just have to pick out the sizing. Maybe 140 15 still top pair lockers to both ends of the straight and the nut flush draw. Don’t think he can fold just yet. Welcome back for one final level of day 2D action. My name is Rem Kurinkama. Donnie Peters alongside me in the booth. Tristan Wade with us for expert analysis. I promise you no more no more payout talk. We we’ll take that offline or maybe I’ll take Tristan to a to an alley where alley somewhere. The WSOP is holding me hostage guys. Come save me. Jokes aside, Jonathan Jaffy at the feature table with Liv Burie and Santosh Suana. What a lineup we have on this table here. Santosh of course the number one poker star from India and I don’t say that lightly to all our Indian viewers. Santosh is in the mix which is great to see. Jonathan Jaffy, arguably one of the toughest players in the room, of course, used to be known as the Dolphin trainer. And Lith Brie, icon from the UK, doesn’t play a whole lot anymore, but when she does, she makes it count. The other table is staying as much as Shawn Perry wants to go home. He’s still on the hunt. 88K, looking pretty comfortable, actually. Uh Aaron Zang has been much tighter than when we last saw him on a feature table a couple of years back. But I guess he’s learned from his past mistakes. For all those that are still watching, all 15,000 of you, thank you so much for being with us on YouTube. Also still live on Poker Go. This is day 2D. And please like the like the video, subscribe to the channel. I want to surrender. I have a nice watch on and I’m here sitting in heat paying 10,000. It’s really hot. made over a million ben ink in sports the last two weeks and I’m just like suffering bro trying to give the chips away. Do you think Sean Perry has ever faced adversity in his life? I mean I don’t know maybe tell them we want a service the drink service. Oh we got Jonathan Jaffy coming to me at Lip Marie’s table. Oh yeah I just introduced him. You did? I missed that. Formerly known as the dolphin train. Okay. Sorry, I was deep in notes trying to behave. Oh man. Thanks everyone for tuning in. Let us know where you’re watching from. It’s a late night here in Vegas. 11:00 p.m. Way past my very usual bedtime. Yeah. What’s your bedtime? Whenever the poker’s done. Lot. That’s exactly the right answer. So early. Early in the morning. I can I can manage. I can manage. I can hold my own. 1:00 a.m. 2 a.m. If I can get to bed earlier, you know, I will lift Briang feature table two. Now, now I got a question for how hot they say this table is. Why does everyone still have their hoodie and jacket on? You know, that’s what I’m curious about. Maybe maybe worried about the the pit stains on the t-shirts. I I can talk to that because I will always play covered up in a jacket or a long sleeve shirt. It doesn’t matter how hot it is. What? I just really I I feel more comfortable with like that type of clothing on me. Do you bring a weighted blanket, too? No. Do you have like a binky? A safety binky? Yeah. Pacifier. It’s just how it is sometimes. I will say that it is it is 2025. We need to figure out how to make lights that aren’t just radiating heat on you. Oh, like this one right here. This is not a hot light. this. I feel it. But either way, I’m okay. Luckily, I’m in a TV. Ross, the TV director in the chat says, “Aren’t these LEDs? Why do I keep complaining about the heat?” LEDs produce minimal heat. Yes, we are. Uh, deuce five on the flop here. We’re back to the action. Connor with sevens. Yankage with queen 10. Now, if you’re Conaru here, paired boards, you’re obviously going to bet when you have these kind of hand classes like the over pair, but vulnerable over pair. You can have larger sizes. Now, this is going to work either way, but just the concept here is sixes, sevens, eights, nines, tunn even jacks can go maybe half a nice button. Maybe something in that region instead of the tag go because there’s going to be an overard that comes really often. You take it home. You’re going to save enough up enough to buy a watch. That’s your right. That’s your watch. No water water, please. Can we get a few of them? Two cranberry juice. One for me, one for him, and two sparkling water. Listen, buddy. The cranberry juice isn’t lucky. Stay away to sparkling water like puree or something. Doesn’t matter. Just just sparkling water is where it’s at. Whatever you have. But honestly, under this heat, man, just anything that’s drinkable, like water that’s cold. Both order like two orders, one for me, one for him. So, two, two. You know, the one good thing I like about some of the casinos and some of the environments to play poker in, even though players complain about it being too cold, I’d much rather it be cold and then you can layer up rather than the alternative being hot. I want I want, trust me, I want because it’s nearly impossible to cool down when it’s super hot. You could be like Pascal Franco. Just take your shirt off. Fans, a little heat here on the button with two jacks. fourth best starting hand of pairs. I’m sweating. What the heck? And we could have seen Lim call there with 67 suited in the small blind, but he opts to fold. And Jiang is definitely going to call here and defend his big blind. Thanks everyone for rocking us, rocking with us. We see 6K likes on YouTube. Finally, numbers are climbing now that we’re back from break. I got Remco Renoma Donnie Peters over my shoulder. We got We got to keep you in check. No, no, I’m good now. We’re We’re just here to make sure you don’t go off the rails. No, no, no. It’s done. Listen, this hand call. I call the bluff. No, listen. I got to be a player advocate. Okay. Yes. This hand. This hand right here is going to be fireworks. Yes. 5,000. Also, the stacks. Keep an eye on the stacks. Yankage has a lot to play with here. And Zang, even though Zang’s been tight, much tighter than before. 13% VP, they’ve played two full hours, which that’s very low for him. I wonder if Yankos has the memory of Zang being a ultra super blaster and how this check raise will be perceived. First of all, I love raising here. I love raising here because you don’t get to raise here that much. You basically get to raise here when you have a nine and then you get to raise here with some bluffs or some 3x that wants to deny equity from just over cards that have whiffed. So that’s the concept here is like maybe some of your bluffs would be like jack 10 or queen 10 or like you know king three or three four of spades just to deny equity from like the ace5 or the ace 10. So when you have a nine here you really want to check raise and play aggressively. And when you have jacks, there’s nothing else to do but call because you’re losing to a nine, but you’re beating all the 3x and you’re beating all the bluffs. Now, if the board continues to run out low and uncoordinated as we are now seeing the deuce of hearts, are you sort of handcuffed to this hand if you’re Yankos? Absolutely. Absolutely. The only way you aren’t is if you can eliminate all bluffs or all weaker holdings from Ciang’s range and he only has 9x. Now, historically speaking, I hate the check. I hate the check. Why do we check now? Now, yeah, maybe in a universe where your opponent has a hand like they have, they’ll bet. But when he doesn’t bet, you have now just missed an opportunity to build this pot and get more value. So, I hate that check. The most he’s gonna win now is another 25 or 30,000 potentially. Now maybe we see an overb to 50k or whatever. But look, there’s a card that’s scary for the jacks. A queen comes on the river. So I think once you raise the flop, you got to keep betting the turn. And jacks just would have to call again. Now the one thing Zang has going for him is his hand’s very dis disguised. We wouldn’t expect him to check three nines on the turn, but again, I think he missed a chance to build a real big pot here. Yeah, ultimately when you have a hand like Zang and you check raise, you just want to check raise and then try and get the money like for for pretty much as big as the pot you could make it. So just that that’s check raise bet. You know, to Donniey’s point, you get the money against tens, jacks, queens, kings, aces, and then what if your opponent has a nine, a worse nine? you stack a worse nine. So, we do see an overb here. So, I do really like this from Jiang because he’s going for overb, but I think he could have made 20, 30k on the turn. 20k on the turn and then he would be in a situation to bet 40, 50k now and maybe he makes 70k, but this looks like it’s going to get paid. Although, this this feels really gross right here. here if you’re Jan Cash. Going 555 on the river into 40,000. Again, ask yourself what bluffs play this way. And I did say some of the bluffs to raise with on the flop could come from like queen 10 or queen jack or something. Now, we do see two jacks in Jan Kaj’s hand. But Jenang has been pretty in line thus far, so nope. It’s going to work out. Wow. Call gets made and Zang makes 55 additional thousand on the river and Yankos down to 81,000. Zang up to 350. Wow. Hey, nice. He’s building again. Here we go. Yeah, but Donnie, it’s completely different from It is I honestly think he learned from it three years ago. I mean, he made a cheap run, made day five. Um, but it it kind of just all came crumbling down out of nowhere. So, maybe he’s just taking more of a delicate approach to it, not just going too nuts. Also, it’s, you know, good on him if he’s able to recognize the image that he built a couple years ago. And he has a big stack. He doesn’t need to, you know, go bonkers. He’s got a great, he’s in great position to keep moving forward. Moving over to our new secondary table for those that are just tuning in. Liv Burie, Jonathan Jaffy, Santosh, Suana on the feature table. Santosh of course with that massive high roller bracelet win at the World Series of Poker. Yeah, last year, right? first place for over 5 million, almost 5.5 million last year. Unreal. He’s got 19 million in tournament earnings. Feel silly if I get this wrong poker. Catch it all on poker.com. Santos has never backed down from a big pot. So, we are going to see a little blind on blind battle here. Ward with the min raise pre flop with the 63 offuit. That’s a little out of line, but we did flop the best hand, so it looks like we’re going to go for value now at seven. Jonathan Jaffy right there in the right corner of the screen eyeing his opponents. We see King High going to call. Maybe you do beat 10x. Should you be Jack X if some of those are bluffing? And two pair now for Ward. He’s going to recheck his cards and make sure. Holy sh Did I really just make two pair? 20k. And now I think King High has a pretty easy fold. But it looks like we got a bluff incoming here. And this is a big bluff. Wow. Oh, baby. Block is just going for it. Making the 70,000. This is crazy. Now most of your bluffs want to come from your 10x, but he gets snap called. Wow. Ward wins a monster with 63 rivering two pair. No, no doubt in his mind. He just snapped it off. Yeah, look, there’s always the what if they’re bluffing. There’s always that. Wow, that was a sick one. It’s funny. We We see like, you know, seven big blind pots that take 19 minutes and then we see how many blinds 200 big blind pot in like under three. 100. I could not explain to you what just happened. Okay. Phenomenal. The main event, baby. Let’s go. That’s Miles Ward right there. $8,000 in tournament winnings. professional opera singer singer quote unquote. So we doubt that’s the truth. Is is that how you is he the is he the one that stands up and sings that’s been singing the whole tournament? No, that can’t be him in the per in the purple shirt right there. There’s a gentleman that’s been like singing. No, I saw that guy. He had an all American outfit on the other day in a cowboy hat. So yeah, but he’s he’s playing today. I know that. I don’t think that’s him. Well, I’m just saying you read the bio sheet. Brainstorm says, “No offense to Tristan Way, but you should have five million in earnings to commentate on this event as a player.” Well, if I came first or second in the main event, I’d have 5 million, buddy. But I haven’t been there yet. Dang, you need five million in earnings. I got 5 million in earnings from online and live, but I guess that doesn’t count. No, you’re you’re disqualified. Okay. Only Only over two million in earnings. One day I’ll get there though. I promise you, brainstorm, I’m going to remember this comment and I’m Give me another year or two and then maybe I can come back into booth. Well, Tristan’s leaving, guys. I hope you guys are happy. Well, if I can’t be here, what about you guys? No, but I’m not I definitely can’t be I’ve never claimed to know anything. I’m just here to make sure nobody gets fired. Marco is the facilitator. See, that’s the thing that people misunderstand. I’m I’m just most of the time playing gum so that you guys can look smart. Yeah, thank you. We do appreciate it. Hello. So, what what’s the annual amount? The Bree and the one seat 73K a number for an annual. And I mean this has been so awesome. We had Lonnie Huey. Yeah. Formerly known as Lonnie Harwood. People wanting to 6 million poker earnings. Now we got Liv Burie another 6 million in tournament poker earnings. I mean, these are some of the best female poker players of all time, right? Of all time in this space. And you know, speaking of the the women in the event, Reva Arthur is still among the chip leaders. She was on our second table for a while there. I know you did. We’ll see her again on day three. I’m sure check. All right, Jaffy. We see him play a limp strategy from the small blind. He’s out of position. We’re probably going to see him limp a lot. And we do see probably bets on these board textures. The ace high board textures favor the small blind limp. And here the big blind does have a gut shot. So we’re going to see a float. And this is a spot where Jaffy might just keep betting. He blocks like the two pairs of ace3 39. But nope, he just ends up taking his equity. Now, when it goes check check, he likely has a best hand. And now he knows he has the best hand probably unless his opponent does have a flush draw. So, we probably just see Jaffy bet here because he can get called by an ace, he can get called by a 90, he can get called by a king. And if he gets raised, then he can maybe just fold bottom two pair at 20. And look at the sizing. 2x the pot. And if you want to make sense of that, you’re going to have to head over to the GTO lab. I’d like to be, you know, a little interesting on that. You know, Donnie, if we talk about poker strategy, I don’t know if 20k will get you called by an ace or a king there for some opponents. So, that’s kind of interesting to think about. Yeah. I mean, I I would I would trust Jaffy to come with the best approach. He’s been playing with these guys all day. He’s obviously one of the best minds in the game. So I I would trust him. I My only question would be like you have a guy who was quickly checking back. Like he quickly called flop, quickly checked back turn. So to me that seems like weakness, you know, again obviously Jaffy’s been he’s the one in the arena. He’s the one playing. So I’ll defer to him. Yes. But if I want to play devil’s advocate, that’s what I would say. No, that’s a great point. I mean, Johnny Jaffy, one of the best poker players on the planet. I know I’ve been throwing that around a bunch, but it’s true. 12. Okay, so we got Santos raising two eights in second position and he gets three bet by the hijack. 910 suited and blocked here with two fives going to hit the monk. And this is a look at our phone when we step away from the table. Santo mostly just calls with his good pairs here. Tries to flop a set. That’s what I was going to ask. That’s what I was going to ask. Kovacic rocking one of the new accessories on the poker circuit, the breath strip. The nose strip. Oh yeah, the nose. Reco’s favorite. Poker is a sport, guys. I know. And he he goes with kind of one I’ve never seen before. The clear version when we show the camera back on him as Santosh debating what to do here. Typically in these spots when you get three bet, you’re just checking most boards. And on these monotone boards, you usually start with a bet. Although some parts of your range don’t mind checking, like perhaps this nine 10 of clubs, but I think you’d rather just bet. Santos going to come with a little block bet 6K into 30. This is a little interesting. I don’t think you ever get better to fold. Your opponent could still have jacks and queens and kings to check the flop. They could have flopped the nuts like king, queen of hearts, queen, jack of hearts. They could maybe have pocket aces or pocket tens. I think those probably just bet the flop, honestly. 18 raised to 18. And this is interesting. An 18k raise. Now, wouldn’t would an ace on this monotone flop almost always bet the flop? No, I do think some like maybe you have like ace king of clubs or whatever. You know, there is a lot of betting that comes on monotone boards, but I think, you know, maybe you you mix some of that strategy, but Kovachek has found a way to get value here with aces and tens. And Santosh is called with a worse hand. And and this is just going to go check check on the river if that happens. But does Santo have other ideas here to turn his eights into a bluff? And I can’t imagine Kovichek wants to do anything but check now. I said have some respect. He’s never going to get an ace to fold. He can have the best hand on occasion. He’s going to love this. Breathe right, buddy. You win. Well done for Kovichic. Well done and welcome to the table. And again, the most interesting part of that is the turn. I mean, we saw a very small 1/5 pot bet by Santosh, and I don’t know if Kovichek really recognized that, hey, maybe I got the best hand with a 10. I think he correctly assessed the situation that Santos was blocking. Probably wanted to set his own price to try and see a river there and it worked. He got extra value out of it. So, I mean, well done by him. Shout out to Incredible One in the chat on YouTube, our biggest fan from Bangladesh, a big Santos supporter. I wonder if our fans in India are awake to catch the action here. I I can never keep track of all the time zones, but I’m just going to assume that it’s it’s 12-hour difference, so they must be in their late morning. Do you always wear the strip or is it the altitude? Do you always wear the strip or is it Vegas to the altitude? No, mostly I wear it for here especially because I had some problems with sinuses. Okay. Jonathan Jaffy asking the hard-hitting questions that we all want to know as Liv Bur looks on the two jacks here. I thought it was kind of cool, but small blind out of position. If I have a If I have a stuffed up nose, then it’s nice. Sleeping with a stuffed up nose with that thing is very helpful. And king queen suited with all these chips going to peel playing position. And this is just a natural occurrence here for both of these hands. I’ve never seen that. 36,000 in the middle here. See 1064. Yeah, give it a shot. I’d love to see either a check raise all in or a kind of like a a sizable bet like half pot. 13 13 fine here. But you know, you’re kind of giving Ward a decent price. He’s got three to a royal. I trusted you up until the 70k now. 13k to maybe peel a king, maybe peel a queen, maybe peel a heart, maybe peel a jack. And he just puts it all in. And Liv Bur’s not going anywhere with two jacks. All right, L’s tournament life on the line. Calls it off. 142 in the middle. Great spot for Bere to double up having a fade of king or queen running straight and running flush cards. So Ward does have some alternatives here. Yeah, I mean this is not the hand Liv wanted to see. She’d rather see like two nines, two eights or something over a longer period. Ace 10. But yeah, Lith now look at the fate. 70% to double up here and get a hold of some real chips in the final level of day two. Turn card. Four of clubs. That’s a great card for Bereie. Eliminates all back door draws. Ward looking for a king or a queen. Burri one card away from a contending type stack. It’s the three of clubs and wiping the sweat off the brow. Lift Bri even with the fist bump. 3,000. Yeah, that’s a little gangster of a move. I don’t actually mind it with the king queen suited. Look, you could get ace queen to fold. You could get ace king to fold. You could get any other like ace x bluffs to fold. He just kind of ran into the top of her range there. But that was a little aggressive. Love it. just going for it, swinging for the fences. Beliv Burie with her biggest score last year in the 2024 WSOP Paradise 25K main event.

Give us where you went to college or where you’d like to go to college or where you’re at right now. Not not to play the European card because I I do that a lot. Anyway, America really is the only country where people are proud of going to a school which is literally putting them into crippling death for the rest of their life and all they can do is talk about it and wear t-shirts with their mascot on it. I I agree that is ridiculous and and I’m not one of those people typically. So me being so proud of my college achievements are as rare. But um but yeah, I like to think that, you know, I’m just happy to be from planet Earth and we’re all humans. Let me not get philosophical again, but you know, look, we got so many. Southern University, aago University in New Zealand, Houston, Texas in the chat. USF, Rodrigo, goss. Okay, Remco with the Euro analysis. They say that’s what I’m here to balance you guys out. Like like if it if it was up to you guys, we’d have a soundboard and it’ll be a screeching eagle like button that you guys would press every time. We need a soundboard. Meanwhile, screeching eagle 45,000 in the middle on the river. Yankos and Zang headto head here. Look, Zang’s got blockers to the nuts. Blocks four, five. Obviously not going to win here as played when he bets the turn. And the ace is a great card to keep bluffing. And I think he’s got that idea in his mind. And all in would really do the trick. That’s enough to put him all in. And Yankosh, you’ll see it by the sort of head movement there. Disgusted by the predicament that he finds himself in. And Zang, you know, Donnie Zang just so calm for two straight hours and all of a sudden he’s turning on the Jets. Yeah. Yeah, and listen, he’s also abusing a recent situation between these two where Jenkage called with the jacks and was wrong. So, he’s, you know, Zang’s probably thinking, listen, this guy’s might just think I have it again. So, he can fold better, of course. And that’s exactly what happened. Yeah. Unlike what you were advertising for him about he’s just a blaster. He’s going to go crazy. I’m pulling up his thumbnails on YouTube and look at all these hands. He actually the first big pot he played, he had it, right? And so he he built up a little credibility kind of staying out of the way. And now maybe we see him coming into form and and you know if we talk about nines that’s kind of an impossible call to make if you have two nines. Shout out to Siraj Ponty in the chat saying, “I used to take Tristan’s money in a 25 cent 50cent game.” That is a lie. I’m going to tell you that right now. I never was playing 25 cent 50 cent. No offense, but um yeah, I would remember you. I did start in home games and stuff. Maybe it was a home game hero. What was the name again? Uh Siraj or Sarah J. Whatever. Saraji Ponti, I don’t think so. Repressed memories. Uh, Zang here going to 4,000 with queen 10. Shabnick makes the call. We see Ace9 hit the muck. Zang really sort of changing gears. Like it’s interesting to see that for an entire level did not see him make any sort of move. And now in the final level of the night, he’s going for it. Yeah. Well, look, you know, you got to kind of pick and choose. And he didn’t really have a lot of spots. He was getting kind of bad hands. And now, yeah, like you said, final night of the night, final level of the night. He’s got 200 big blinds, right? He’s getting dealt some hands. Shout out Lock James becoming part of our high rollers on YouTube. Uh, all the High Roller members on YouTube get access to our full main event coverage starting on day four. We’re going to go Poke Go exclusively and for our YouTube high rollers. So, I kind of would have liked Jiang to just bet the flop because I think without a diamond, it’s harder to maneuver in these situations. Whereas, if he just bet he probably just gets sixes with no diamond to fold. But I don’t think you can fold when you check. Like this is so much easier of a hand if you have queen 10 with a diamond. You just get to check call comfortably. You can make a flush and all that. But he is going to continue. Of course,000. But I just think it would have performed better as a as a semiluff. Jack pairs on the turn. Okay. And Shablnick now middle of range. What do I tell everybody? You bet when you have top of range and you bet when you have bluffs. Middle of range, you want to pot control and check. Could sixes be good here? They could be. Do we need to turn this into a bluff? We don’t. We beat a five. We beat unpaired hands. So, we should just check here and get to the river. Now, you could bet small if you think you could get called by like queen, king from a diamond. Ace 10 with a diamond, but that opens you up to getting pushed off your hand. check. Action goes check. Check and deuce completes the board. Does Zang have any pathway here leading check raising? Does anything make sense or is is it a pure give up when you can’t win? Remco, a good rule of thumb is to bet. That’s a good That’s good science. Yeah. Uh that’s just game theory right there. If you can’t win, you want to bet. This is bottom of range now for Zang. He has queen high. He’s never going to win here, but he is just going to give up. And now Shableneck should just check as well. Let’s go. Check. Check. Shabnick with sixes is going to take this one down. And so maybe a little just letting off the gas, letting co you know this is when you drive guys, you need to learn how to coast. You don’t need to stop. You don’t need to go. You need to coast. So Zang might have just showed us how to coast. Hey, you know what? I just won a few pots. I won a big one. I bluff one. I’m just going to check call here and not even bluff. I’m way tighter than you guys think. Perceived image definitely important in a tournament like this. How do people see you? I think it’s important to be aware of that. That’s everything for sure. Cheleneck now to Cowboys. Yeeha 4,000 red pill says Tristan is a member of the Palm Beach Kenno Club Table 18 Hall of Fame world famous 510 300 max game. I I did play that quite a bit. What an insane game that is as Shawn Perry picks up ace queen suited. The way Shawn Perry plays 34 offuit makes me think that the ace queen suited might be part of some fireworks. You love to get three bet here by Shawn Perry if you’re Shablnick. And your only thing to do here with Kim squeezed in between is to for bet. It’s all about just what size do you want to choose. I think somewhere from 30 to 35,000 is really good here. You don’t mind if Perry wants to peel one off even though you’re out of position because you’re going to have such a low stack to pot ratio if he does call 30 to 35k. But the idea is to try to get all the money in right now pre flop. And if that happens and you’re Sean Perry, you might feel the pressure of the lights, the heat, the pores of your skin bubbling from sweat. And maybe you just go all in with ace queen suited. Maybe this is the spot you’ve been waiting on. Let’s see. raise to 24,000 24 here from Shavelnik. Does this size set up Perry for a shove? Two two things, Ramco. This sets it up more for a call because you got to ask yourself, how often is this guy bluffing? And Sean Perry says the same thing. He kind of knows, but his hands too good. The price is too good. 12K to now win 57K. He’s going to call here. I think if you make it 30 to 35K, you incentivize You incentivize a bigger pot so Perry can shove and try to win. But now you give him such a good deal to give you action. You give him such a good price. She’s going to pick me on this flop. And now look at the SPR. There’s 57 in the middle. Perry has 73k. I think this is a little of a misstep with a small size, but it’s still going to work out. So 9751 club Shaveleneck with kings in command here. And now you could say you could check this flop because you never have connection to this board. You never have sevens. You never have nines. You never have fives. But you obviously have jacks and queens and kings and aces. So some of that stuff does want to bet. Do we ever get like super tricky just because it is Shawn Perry and and check and hope that he makes a silly move? Yeah, you totally could. Yeah. And but your idea there is just to probably just check raise all in like you’re not really trying to mess around with this much money already in the middle. But we see him take a small a small bet approach trying to entice Perry like you said. And Perry has enough equity to peel one here. It’s a small bet. He can turn an ace. He can turn a club. Now, he might not be able to realize all that equity because he’s probably going to be forced all in on any turn card that’s not an ace, I would imagine. Remco, we got a good shout out here for you. I don’t want to I don’t want to pat myself on the back, but uh I appreciate the love. Thank you. That’s actually a really good deep cut memory. The Negrono deep run in the main event 2015 live tweeting which got me into a lot of trouble. So shout out to Shableneck here. He’s found a way to kind of squeeze the maximum out of Perry potentially um with a small for bet and a small bet on the flop. And now there’s really nothing else to do but all in. We could see maybe another small bet, but I think at this point it might be a little greedy. He’s got two/ird the potsiz bet left. Just put them all in. Oh my god. Excuse me, guys. I know nothing. I guess Shaban just said, “Look, this board’s so safe for me at this point. Shawn Perry could just have dust the way I’ve seen him playing with all these wacky hands. I’m going to try to entice him to bluff it all off here. 10 on the river. Okay. Okay. And now now guys, now right Donnie, nothing nothing but an all-in at this point. I’m surprised by the entire way that the sand is played out. You can’t expect your opponent to wager and risk their tournament life at this stage right now. As this hand is played out, you have to set the price. And that price should be all in. I’m all in. And I give Shableneck good credit. I mean, he has been kind of a slower pace player at this table, but I give him credit for really thinking through his decisions. and he played this hand really well. And here’s a bit of and and kudos to Perry too, right? Perry could have got a little lost in the sauce here. He’s been playing all these other crap hands. Looking down ace queen suited, you know, some some other players might have gone broke at some point here. He found a way to get to the river, realize all his equity. He didn’t make a hand and and I see he just should just fold now. Perry survives with 5 57,000 chips. Tristan, just just to twist the knife a little bit just for jokes. Someone someone applied the 1982 main event payouts to the 2025 prize pool. Yeah. Uh place 1461 through 10th all get 7,100. Okay. And then 9inth gets 1.8 million. Okay. Little little bubble action. Yeah. And then uh first is 31 million. Yeah. Second is $18 million. Third is 9 million. Okay. So, you know, this will this will make headlines. You know what? They weren’t taking any rake back in 1982, too. So, if they want to do that, I’m all for it. Oh, this is so funny. Oh, that’s why. That would be sick, though. That would be, you know, I kind of like that better, honestly. Screw the minash for 15. You lose money if you mash. First place wins 32 million. I I much prefer that. Please forward that to Jack. I’m telling me or him. Both of you, Donnie. How many people come up here? How many people, Donnie, do you think would sign up? How many people, Donnie, do you think would sign up for a 10K winner take all tournament? You add it to the WSFP calendar. There’s a bracelet on the line. Winner or take all structure is TBD. 300. That’d be kind of sick. Uh Perry raising with queen six off for some reason. Limb for 33,000 moves all in with jacks. I think I think Perry saving Perry’s saving uh Zang here. All right. But look, Perry just All right, my friend. It’s a cut off. It’s okay. But these are just these are hands that you don’t play. You just never play these hands. And this is why you’re just going to run into hands behind you. Folks, well, I think he’s saving Zango chips here. Yeah, Zang maybe would lose some money there, but Lim is the kind of player on 20 bigs who’s just not going to have bluffs from the small. All right, back to Jeff. He found Carl de chatting with Carl Dere from the great state of Montana. Your first time in the main. We talked about mentally saving up for this. What is that process like? Uh, it’s just watching you guys, you know, watching the Yeah. And you try to digest what you see. Um, of course there’s books out there, but I mean, you got to get in and you got to play and you got to get your your beat butt beat a little bit and you know, it’s just soaking it all in. So, you got in, you’re playing. What’s it like? Oh, it’s great. I love it. I mean, I ended up at eight pros, but what can I say? And I’m a recreational at best. But yeah, it’s fun. It’s very enjoyable. You got to show us the shirt that you’re rocking if you’re gonna We got a checklist here. Okay. So, let’s hold it up to that camera, Ryan, if you can see this. So, we have buy in the main event. You got that. You nailed that part. Get into the money. Maybe tomorrow night, the next day. It’d be like tomorrow afternoon, I believe. Oh, wow. Maybe tomorrow night. Make the final table, right? You know, the goal. Oldest player to win main event. You You aren’t that old. You would be the oldest. I would be uh uh what’s his name? Johnny Moss was 66. Johnny was 66. And he played against like eight people. Okay. Well, let me send you back to the action so you can be on track to become the oldest person to win the main. Carl Dere, thank you for the time, guys. Let’s go, Carl. I’m on team Carl. And also rocking the Dutch heritage, the freeze, as we would say in the Netherlands. He made it the freeze. He also put both of the words together. But I I’m I’m all in for Carl. Let’s go. Oldest winner of the main. I thought that was John Dutton. John Dutton. Wow. Shout out Yellowstone. By the way, 1883 is by far the best show of that entire time. Oh my god, guys. Look, Kings and Kings and Queen N. And Archus is all in again. Harry three bet to 10K. Archamas called 8K. Kim jammed and Archamas just said, “Look, I’m committed. I’m calling it was queen N suited in bad bad shape here.” And shout out to Carl in the interview because he said it best. You got to show up here. You got to play. You got to get that experience. That’s what the main event is. Zang with some sweat advice for Archus. Okay. See the flop. Tournament life on the line versus Kings. Things not looking too hot. All right. Here come the first three. That’s ace jack eight. There’s life. Pretend you’re leaving. There is life. And you have two underarms. Slowly, slowly. Zang says, “Pretend you’re leaving.” All 10. All the tricks. I flop two pair. Work slowly, slowly this way. Slowly, slowly, slowly. Trust me. Last time it works. Aaron Zang, an expert in runouts. And there’s my goodness. Another spade. No, really. Walk. Walk little bit. Little bit. We moved here. Moved here. Right. Right. Right here. He’s listening to him. Aaron Zang, pretend you’re leaving. Okay. Pretend you’re leaving. Let’s go. Archb looking for a spade or a 10. A little bit. A little bit. And what’s Kim looking like? He must be sweating bullets right now. Little bit. A little bit. There he is. He’s smiling. He’s a good sport. If this works, they’re going to be friends forever. It’s a nine on the river. Good luck. Zang did his best. So did Archimus. I will not make the money and Kim will take this one down. Nice hand. All right. Small behind his hand. Yeah, I think that’s just a little bit of an impatience there. But GG as we see Kim move up to 50 big balls. Uh for those tuning in for the first time, almost midnight in Las Vegas. We are still coming at you live from the horseshoe on the Las Vegas strip. 8 hours of uninterrupted coverage for him to walk over there then somehow after river you just run back sit down. You know what I mean? You know and it helps when you have 400k you can have laughs and jokes at the expense of other people who are all in. He’s a nice guy to me and to him and I I mean Sean Perry’s just ready to torch it. I I He’s been ready to torch it for three hours. He’s been trying for a while. He has been, but he he has a good hand here. I’m surprised he sh We’re shoveling on him like with ace 10 there. And Shabick has deck, please. All about business. All about business like 42,000. And with the with as wide as Perry’s been, you could see some allins here. Even though technically this wouldn’t be a thing. I I bought him today. But yeah, he does just call. Okay, so I like that better. But it almost veres on a spot where for 20 stuff it in Perry’s face, but I do like a call. He’s asking why did he buy him today? Oh, I had some family stuff. Jack three deuce. I also bought in today. But so does Perry. Great flop for Perry. He’s going to get action here and he’s got his opponent drawing to two outs. I don’t like late buyins. Yeah, always level one first minute. Never be late. I think the day two buyins are Yeah, it’s not it’s not great. Also, uh I mean maybe maybe this four day. No, there were four day ones, two day twos. There was day two ABC and day 2 D because for the main event, you should Day 1 D is usually the biggest fight. I mean, my my point is if you think you play better than others, why don’t you want play as long as you can with them? Yeah. And with the double barrel here with the best of it, Shableneck with the ace of hearts. That might get him in a little bit of trouble, but I think when they make mistakes, they’re going to make you could probably just fold here losing to a jack. You’re losing to a queen. Double barrels like king 10, ace 10, ace king, maybe 910. Have a lot of equity, but you know, this is Sean Perry. He has been mixing it up. So, we are going to keep him honest and see a river. That river is the king of spades. And if you luckily build a stack on day one, maybe we just see check check against two biner like you have advantage. I don’t know if Perry’s ever going to get called by worse now. But you know, maybe if your opponent has a worse jack or something, he does jam. Perry goes for it here. It’s getting hot in here again. Probably thinking there’s not much queen X, King X that plays their hand like this. Check calling flop. That’s why every time you go, I didn’t say good luck to I would argue that cuz you know I want to go home. I’m just saying that’s what Perry is saying. Probably also some of listen I I don’t care maybe I go home type of thing. I mean I think he’s kind of been somewhat genuine in the fact that he doesn’t necessarily care to bust. Yeah. Like you really have to get called here by a worse jack and really be comfortable that your opponent doesn’t have a queen or a king. Now you can maybe rule out queen jack and king jack from your opponent’s range because they probably check raise queen jack or king jack. I kind of want you to too to be honest. We on the same page. What’s up? We’ll be on the same page. Shablick committing. You want me to go home? Bus parry. But if he’s got a three considering to make this call, then it’s a great value bet with ACEJ. Like I would expect a three or a deuce to hit the muck a lot on the turn. And I’m going to tell you, Donnie, the one thing you don’t want to do is call and be wrong here and double this guy up. That’s going to tilt you even more. I kind of hate having the ace of hearts in my hand, too, cuz you know, Perry could have ace X of hearts that can, you know, double barrel, especially the ace4, ace five of hearts. So, I kind of don’t like having that as part of my combo. Could bluff with a better hand. And here he goes. You bluff with a better hand. Now, this isn’t bluff bluff a better hand. It’s possible. But yeah, what if Perry has a hand like two fours or two fives or two sixes where he thinks he needs to get his opponent to fold a jack? What do you think, chat? You think he’s calling or you think he’s folding? Yeah, one call. One for call, two for fold. One, if you think Shableneck’s calling, two if you think he’s folding. I mean, we have seen him play very wide ranges, but we haven’t seen him just dust it. Honestly, he hasn’t been all in or risking his tournament in life with nothing yet. We’ve seen him be kind of controlled, buddy. Give me a second. Okay, we’re we’re verging on the time of maybe someone about to call the clock. Yep. We do see compare the size needs like a quarter. He needs a quarter. Flip the quarter. Flip the coin. Bunch of ones, bunch of twos, clock. And Perry’s going to score the double up here. And we’re going to have to see. And Perry’s antics get him paid by a three there. That was crazy. Was 25 even. Yeah, we are in the poker twilight zone and we’re going over to the secondary table. Yansy all in for 26,000 over a raise from Berg Fors. Berg Fors makes the call with ace king and we got a classic flip here. Ace 105 on the flop. That’s not looking good for Yansy. He’s going to need a six. He cannot catch running clubs because the ace of clubs belongs to Bergfors and Yansy does have two main event cashes in 2021 and 2023. Nine of diamonds on the turn. All right, backpack is going on for Yansy. Pulling out all the stops. He’s standing. He’s got the backpack on. Let’s see if he starts walking away. Four of diamonds on the end is not going to do it. We lose Yansy here on day two of the WSOP main event. Berg for collecting that pot, nearing 400,000 in chips. Shout out to him. Yeah, he is the chip leader at this feature table. We are in the last level of the night here on day two of the WSOP main event. Blinds are 1K 2K with the 2K big blind ante three and four were your originals. So, Alex Burke Force aka the White Lion. The White Lion. You know what we need? We need on these bio sheets, we need them to have a spot where they fill out the reason or the origin or whatever for their nickname. Personal told us to make up additional information about him so he can laugh later. Okay. The white lion earned his nickname because he used to drink white claws all night. No, I’m just kidding. All right, we do have Kova Chick. Does he list his profession there? Small business owner. See, I I I honestly think he leads like Sasquatch adventures. He’s wearing a Sasquatch shirt. So, you know, maybe he’s out there and his his small business is that he takes people on to find the Sasquatch. Sasquatch hunt. You know, he’s he’s out there in the wilderness. He did trying to find Sasquatch. Yeah, he did get a business admin degree from uh Northern Kentucky University, which seems That sounds That sounds like somebody that would go looking for Sasquatch. Yeah, absolutely. Good call, Johnny. So, we got the dolphin trainer to his right. We got we got a Sasquatch hunter in Berg force. I mean, it’s just and maybe he’s looking for the ever elusive white lion. He’s out looking for the Sasquatch as we see Kovach with the best hand. Livbury Burie flat calls in position with ace queen and she’s going to go ahead and start betting. And the idea here is maybe she has the best hand one and two maybe she gets some equity to fold like weak pairs. But let’s see what her intention is now as she picks up a gut shot and another overcard to two10s arrives. So, is Liv going to feel like she’s in the middle part of her range to want to check and get the showdown? Or is she going to use this blockeresque of a hand? We block king queen, we block ace king as a bluff. She doesn’t have she doesn’t have a spade. I think that would give her a much a better green light, but she is going to go double barrel. And I and I really do like this. That’s 13. Now, Kovaleek on the other hand kind of kind of far up in his range as well. He could have a king here. He maybe has like an ace jack type hand, but absent of those two hands, this is the next best. But he hits a muck. And that’s ladies and gentlemen, Liv Bereie at her finest. Thank you.

Appreciate everyone. Please like and subscribe to the Poker Go channel. Yeah, let’s get let’s get this thing up to 7,000 likes. I see 6,200. So, I need 800 of you guys to hit that thumbs up right below the video. Let’s try and climb this up. Yeah, we are on the final level here on day two. It’s okay. We have a first place prize in the 2025 WSP main event announced as $10 million. The top 1461 places will be paid a minimum of 15,000. Everyone at the final table is going to get a million bucks. This is the third largest WSOP main event of all time. That’s insane. It’s insane. I’m trying to say something like, buddy, why did you look? I was going to say we can go all in without looking, but you know, we are going to see people play for $10 million, eight figures. No other poker tournament do you see these kind of numbers. Let’s go, buddy. Come on. Quick, quick, quick, quick. Unless it’s a million dollar buy. Turbo poker poker enough players to play. Turbo poker. Turbo poker. Turbo poker announced. 744. Three, two, one. Go ahead. Dead. All right, guys. Come on. We only picked up a 100 likes there. Come on. Let’s go. I’m quick. Nice hand. Nice hand. Fives. Nice. Fives are shown. Donnie, what about your ever so famous? Well, I have another question. I don’t want to do that. Okay. Okay. Okay. My other question is, what is the chip stack that you guys think is going to be the chip leader at the end of today? Give me the amount. Drop it in the chat. Give me the amount of the the stack size for the chip leader entering day three of the WSP main event. And I’m there. Do you have any idea what the chip leader currently holds? No, I I just know that on the first day two yesterday, I think it was 967 or something like that. Oh my god. Are you serious? Yeah, it’s it’s wild. Cam Rock, I see your comment. I’m trying to be good. Yeah, we’re going to be good. And plus Tristan’s drinking, so relax. If I’m drinking, I’m about to be fired up. I see a lot of people saying over a mill, and I I agree with that. I think over a mill, this flight, day 1 D and day 2D is typically a bigger field, and you usually see bigger stands in bigger fields. On the first day too, it was Alexa Krabchuk bagging up 937,500 almost 200,000 higher than anyone else. Randall Lack was second. Nicholas Bond third. David Cabrera Paulop was fourth. The those three 762 724 and 704. So what do you guys think? Drop it in the chat for what you think the chip leader is going to bag entering day three. Let’s look at this hand though, Donnie. We got the nuts have been flopped by Mr. Kim here. And Sean Perry with top pair and a back door flush draw. Yeah, this is a pretty meaty bet here from Kim. Kim was the pre flop razer. Made it 5k. He got called in two spots by Perry and John Kaj. Flopping the straight. Oh my god. This is a disaster turn for Shawn Perry. He’s going to lose more money if not all of his chips here. Sean Oh. Oh. Oh, and look. Hold on, everybody. Pot save. This saves Perry. This is pot odds, everybody. How much is it? Cover. It’s 70k to win 180k, right? Let me do quick math real quick. That’s about 30% equity. I can’t believe he jammed here. I mean, he might lose Perry when you you you want to call from these hands. You do want a call from these hands. I got over there, bro. It’s a much It’s a scary board, right? Two flush draws. But here’s the math behind it. 70k to win 180K. You need to have about 3940% equity. Here we see Perry only has 18% equity here. Maybe. But Perry thinks he might be up against king queen of hearts or king jack of hearts. You know, I am hot on him trying to go home, right? Is that why you shove? Cuz you’re like, you know what? This guy’s trying to go home. But really Kim is going to have maybe two pairs here like king 10. Crazy. Maybe some ace queen. You know what? I’m thinking about calling you cuz I can’t lose in sports recently. I’m up over a million dollars the last couple weeks. I’m just giving you a gift. Okay, we’re going to gamble. And he calls. Look at that. And Kim has a club blocker. Perry’s gonna hate seeing this. A pretty big hand, man. I need a club. Seven clubs remain in the deck. Or we’re going to see Shawn Perry be eliminated here at the end of the night. This is, you know, really not a good riskreward scenario. But Sean Perry is a gambler, Mr. Peters. He is. We got one card to come here. Perry needs a club. It is the six of hearts. Kim wins that one. We have flopped Broadway straight and we lose. Sean Perry go take a cold shower. Showers. Thank you guys very much. Good luck everyone. Literally showers. All right, the Shamperry experience ends right here. Bought in today. Had a bit of fun. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. It was actually my birthday yesterday. Oh, really? Awesome. Dang, you deserve that. Shout out here. Let me grab these notes cuz I, you know, I stole them from Remco when he left the room here. Yeah. And we got a new C8. So, I don’t even have So, that one pray opening call. Robert Kim from Boston, Massachusetts. Help us out. To tuft university degree in economics, married to Mina, three children, Samantha Tara and Joshua, cash to main events last year. So going for back to back of course. We had developments at this table. Livery from the big blind. This was raised by Ward to 5K. Bereie defended from the big blind. Check. Check on the flop. Bur leads 6K on the turn. Ward raises to 16. That brings us to right here. So Ward basically saying he’s got a hand like pocket kings or pocket jacks typically when you see this, but no, he just got the ace deuce of hearts, which is going to fade all the outs that Liv Burie had. And Ward seems like a real gangster mixing up in these streets with some of the hands we’ve seen so far. He He’s been He’s attacking all that. I’m so sorry. That’s okay. Oh, and he bets out of turn. Look at that. So, if Lee if Bere decides to check, the bet stays. If Bere makes an action other than check, Ward can take his money back. And she’s going to open fold knowing that his bet would stand. Yep. She missed. She was just trying to, you know, there were some implied odds there for Liv Buresy. [Laughter] Try to improve and make her hand. He said, “Wow, baby, do I suck.” Should have said that like that. He He said he was no good. He said he sucks. I think he made a bad play and admitted it to everyone. Oh, wow. Rand Emit took off the boxing attire. But I’m sure there’s still people in here that would like to fight this guy like FaY. I mean, oh my gosh, I have a Twitter account. I see things still on the hunt though. But yeah, why not give more uh you know, viewership to these kind of people? Yeah, all for it. He’s got a stack like this like 180. I’d say he’s over 200k there. Yeah, right. Exposure. He’s laughing. One, huh? I had it. Show us one. I had I can’t show you one. Yeah, you can. Oh, and he’s got Doug Pul at his table. We were in the mood. We got a great YouTube superstar. Pop that. I thought you were raising the poker legend. Of course. That was the only choice I had. Poker Hall of Famer in the future if you ask me for both his level of play but also his the way he brings the game to a wide audience. Yeah, he has put so much time and energy into giving poker more exposure and exposing himself of course too, but giving more exposure to poker. Um, kudos to him. I mean, his YouTube videos, he’s probably one of the most the biggest YouTubers out there when it comes to hot takes and building poker in Texas, too. But that’s only for one reason. What’s What’s that reason? Because you haven’t started your YouTube channel yet. Oh, no, no, no. He’s That’s all him. Imagine how many how many views your video would get about the payouts. None. None. I think the Tristan Wade the Tristan Wade um YouTube journey has some validity. Not happening. Shout out Doug Poke. I hope we get to see him on day three. And look at who we got here in the small blind. Buhav and and help me out there Remco. But he’s got 700. That’s a pile of chips there. 700k that I mean, holy crap. You’re not kidding. I mean, he’s just come here and doubled the biggest stack nearly. Buhay off. That’s a That’s an aim and a half. Just arrived on the feature table. Estanislav with ace king makes 4,000. Thank you, Ian. Ian, I got some people in the chat. They said they subbed to my channel, Payouts Podcast, Tristan’s Payouts Podcast. And every week you do an episode analyzing a different tournament’s payout structure. Yeah, rake raking tournament payout structures. That I mean that’s kind of up my alley. I used to do that for the WPT. I was a director of poker operations for WPT Deep Stacks for about four or five years. So, I do have some experience working with casino operators. I do come from a place of experience even though I might just sound like a schmuck. And I feel like Sean Perry right now. I’m hot as hell. I don’t know if being put under the fire or what, you know? But I mean, we do see people Cheers. We do see beer level. Cheers. Beer level. They say we do see people kind of unwinding the energy. You know, this has been a These days are tumultuous. Like, did I say that right? very draining and taxing on your mind and your body. You’re sitting down for 10 hours. You’re thinking through so many little decisions. There’s a lot of pressure on you to do well and to perform well. So, at this stage of the tournament, as you see Bergos kind of stretch in his chair, this is like the stretch. You need to stay locked in and you need to make sure you don’t make a mistake at this point in the night. action on Bury here with AceJ. And I’ve learned from Tristan that you’re only only supposed to three bet with ACEJ 14. And we do see that happen. I was going to say the two the two spots you can call from with ACJ offsuit happen to be the cutoff and the button most regularly, but we do see uh Liv go with a three bet here. So, following my advice, of course, she listens. How much is 14,000 total? 14,000 from Bereie. Action back on the no strip guy. And so, the idea here, if you’re Kovaleek, is like Kovac’s range starts with like these kind of hands, the offsuit Broadways, the weak suited aces. So the idea for Liv is when you three bet someone, you hope to shed the offshoot Broadways and maybe some of the weakest suited aces, but you know they’re going to continue with all their pairs, their better suited aces, their better suited broadways, and then for bet you with really good hands and maybe a couple bluffs. All right, Lim after all his uh rides on the roller coaster now all in again. This time with jack eight versus king. Zang about to send him to the rail looking for a jack and a jack only. And Limb very played very tight but picks up some chop outs. Five on the turn. Limb looking for a jack to double up. River is the queen of clubs and that’ll do it. Limb eliminated by Zang who is up to 387. But the move here. Thank you sir. Dead button. Magic Moit says, “I would so want to be on one of those tables in the next three or four years. That would be phenomenal to see you out here.” I mean, look, there’s roughly 10,000 people that had the opportunity to play this event, the most special poker tournament on the planet, and we’re going to see this field dwindle down, and we’re going to see someone play for $10 million. We’re going to see a heads up match for $4 million. I haven’t seen any acce queen day. Can’t wait. Biggest pair today. [ __ ] nice. I got the live stream going. [ __ ] nice. Teddy moving around. My my son is waking up. He’s ready for dad to come home. Yeah, he is. He heard he heard beer level and he was like, “Oh, let let me let me get in on that. Zang folds around to him in the small blind. Do me a favor, my friend. You know, both these players have a lot of chips. Almost, let’s say, a 100 big blinds effective. It’s 90. There’s multiple strategies you could incorporate here. We do see Zang come with a raise. Jiang Jang. Thank you, Brandon. And that is a very tight fold. You would not typically see King High’s fold in position in the big blind. But again, not everyone is experienced and knowledgeable on those kind of strategies because those are the widest positions to play. Small blind versus big blind. So, now only five of us. Only five of us. Appreciate everyone for rocking with us late into the night. It’s well past midnight over here in Las Vegas. So, we appreciate it. Yeah. And you know, that’s the insane part about this main event journey. These players from here on out will play or will be inside this building for a minimum of 12 hours a day every day until they reach the final table. So the stamina required and and and the way to balance, you know, getting your rest, eating your meals, making sure you sort of stay at a at a decent energy level is so wild because this is only day two because you go day two and then three, four, five, six, seven, eight. So, six full days in a row before they have one day off before the final table. Castle with queens. Three bets at 15k and Kim makes the call with sevens. Yeah, he takes the seat of Shawn Perry. He comes with 300,000 and he picks up queens right at start. Three bets Kim. Kim calls naturally with two sevens trying to set mine, trying to crack big hands. And Castillic now deciding if he wants to better check. He ends up with a check. Are you guys streaming tomorrow? Says Wesley. Yes, we are. He must not know. Every day. Every day. Go to poker.com/scchedu to see what the streams are going to be like coming up. Uh but yeah, tomorrow 5:00 p.m. Pacific time. Same runtime as today. We go from 5 till 1 roughly. Uh only difference is Jeff Plat and Brent Hanks on the call. Then starting on day four, we’re going to have wall-to-wall coverage from the first to the last hand. Sick. When it matters the most, when all the players are in the money. And we see here Castella get to the river as checked. And now he goes for value. I really like this a lot. Even though there’s three diamonds, even though there’s an ace and beautifully he gets paid off by a worse pair. Two queens played to perfection. Kim shows sevens. Just want to keep him honest. Well played by the one seed here. Christy says, “Donnie, we need a Hanks update.” I got nothing. They’re they’re radio silent. I’ll text Brandon, see what’s going on with him. Quick reminder here as we look at Shawn Winter out in the field. The Poker Stars NABT is coming back to Las Vegas November 2025.

Final level of the night. Let us know if you’ve been with us all day. I know there’s got to be some of you. Yeah. Who’s who’s been here the longest? I need to know.

Void Striker. Shout out Burkhai. uh Grammy award-winning producer out of LA. He’s worked with some of the biggest art artists. This is expensive. No, it’s my buddy. We got it free. We’ll do we’ll do some tracks for free. Honest to God, he can whip up something in literally seconds. I swear he’s he’s a genius. I swear to God. Uh we got action here. I swear to you, I I’m connected. I know some people. I feel like in a different life, Tristan would have been a door to door salesman. I What do you think I do? How do you think I make money to play poker? I promise you. Selling mattresses to people. Yeah, this this cutlery set is indestructible. It’s going to last your whole life. You’ll pass it on. You know, this is kind of the the the poking Tim Adams would always give me. He he feels the same way about me. When I was trying to get him to join uh you know, some of my past poker endeavors like Deep Stacks, he like, “Come on, join.” You know, he’s like, “Oh, he’s trying to pitch me on something.” Tristan. No, but I really do. I I’m dead ass. Just tell me what you guys want and we’ll make it happen. I love it. Wasn’t Wasn’t Timothy Adams involved in some some like seat cushion type deal? Uh no, no deal, but he the h the human something. The you interviewed him for it. The the the human I think he No, he just he used it and he really liked it and it really helped his poker playing experience, so he became like an advocate for it. Right. Right. He was like an ass advocate. I thought it was his company for a while. No, not at all. Uh Zang, by the way, with Ducks just sneaks one through again. And we’re really seeing Zang in this final level of the night making some things happen. I mean, what a name for a product. The human when you didn’t you did an interview with him. It’s probably ranking really high on Google in 2015. Thank you. Lots of human tools in the Juice says Tristan, how about getting Scott Storch to create some beef? Man, that would be But you wouldn’t be able to be. But no, I got a guy just as good. I promise you would be right, man. I could just Man, we need Scott Storch in here playing his keyboard with a cigarette in his some glass. Scott Storch wouldn’t come in here for less than a million dollars. Scott Storch, if you’re listening, Scott Storch, if you’re listening, I give you some free poker lessons. We’ll set you up right here. And we just need a a sick ass poker go intro with some high hats, some horns. Little poker stars spotlight here. Lith Burie making it happen on day two. Late entry into the tournament, rocking the cowboy hat. Former EP San Remo. What that event was so cool. That was that was one of the best. They played the final table in this really cool theater. As by the way, Burie with the hand here makes a 5k and Buhayov who came to the table with 700,000 has since given away 70k is three betting her with king jack offsuit. Yeah, it looks like he gave it to Santosh cuz he has he went from 90 to 165. But look, don’t mess with Liv Bereie, okay? Don’t mess with Liv Bereie. and he’s about to see why when she sticks this for bet in his face. Now, she is playing 60 plus big blinds deep. It’s not an auto for bet. These hands increase in value a little bit when you get shallow or stacked, but it’s such a good hand that you could either kind of trap and call pre flop or obviously put in another bet here. She will be out of position. So, I want to see something like 45k or 50k, but let’s see what she wants to do. There also has 24,000 in the middle. Oh, she’s going to turn up the heat a little bit. And 45k right on the nose. Let’s go. And what did I say? Don’t mess with the bare. Yeah, but I I do I do like that approach from Buhay off with the king jack. I I I think you can go fold or you can go three bet if you want to get aggressive. I don’t I don’t like cuz she’s early. I don’t like flatting there with so many people behind you. King, queen, king, jack off doesn’t really play that good post. Yeah. So, if you want to like leverage some of the blocker properties that it has, obviously I I mean, not obviously, I would assume Buhayov is an aggressive player because he’s got over 600k, so he’s probably getting after it a So, I like that right there. Yeah, and he was getting after a bit with in those positions to have king jack offsuit in your three betting range is getting after it, but you said it like it has good blockers. But Kim here besting the flop of Jang and this was a raise for Connor. A three bet from Jen and a flat call from Kim in the small blind. And he just leads for full pot here. And look, this is someone who’s been very face up with the strength of his hands. And when he’s bet big, he’s got it. You know, he did he just busted Sean saying inquiring about what he has behind. And didn’t we see this similar sort of thing earlier where it was I think Perry might have raised somebody three bet and Kim called with like a very strong hand on the big ace king. It was ace king earlier. Had ace jack. Yeah. Yeah. And it came jack high. Yes, I remember that now. But this is a different setup. He leads in the other scenario. We saw a check check and then a small bet and and Jenang raise, but Jen probably pretty comfortable with top pair here. You don’t really fold in these spots if your opponent could be bluffing. But look at Kim. Is this a man that’s bluffing here? Cold calls a three bet out of position. Just leads for pot. He’s kind of telling us he’s got what he’s got. And this is one of the ever interesting things about this tournament is that you don’t see a lot of players often flat hands like ace king here in these spots. So, but in the main event, you know, there’s so many players from so many different walks of life. They bring so many different styles and it’s on you to figure it out. And this is a very tough test right now. And look at that. He does figure it out. That is amazing. That’s incredible. that. But that’s what you got to do in this event. That’s what exactly what you got to do. It’s the end of the night. We’re winding down. This guy called a three bet. He’s betting full pot. I’m just going to fold. Is he ever doing this as a bluff? I’m just going to find out later anyways. That is a miraculous fold there. Yep. That is very exploitative there from Aaron. We could argue that’s an awful bet from Kim because if he just checks, he could check raise and maybe get some money, you know. Well, if you if you’re betting there and you’re Kim and you’re getting hands like king jack, which are top pair to fold, then then yes, it is likely a bad bet. Yes. You know, like that’s that’s exactly why it’s a bad bet. But but that’s so this is okay for everyone who asked me, do do you want to play GTO? Do you want to play balanced? Do you want to play exploitable? That’s 100% exploitable right there. That’s representable how you got to play against every individual opponent. Kim’s just never bluffing. He has really strong hands here. He might even bet a set of tens into me for a full pot. He’s He’s committed. We just saw him shove for 150% the pot with the nuts. You have to recognize that stuff in your opponents and adjust. And that is an unbelievable adjustment by Jiang. Dylan says Zang has final table vibe. I agree. I I agree with that. I think he SB says easy for why the height. Come on, man. That guy top pairing position. That’s a crazy fold. Mizu saying Zang has improved this game. I mean, 100% different style compared to three years ago. Chevel monster of a flop here. Just a set. You better go check yourself. So, you could do some checking back here, but you you mostly just bet your range on these board types, but you could have some checkbacks. Your checks come from aces and tens, pocket aces and pocket 10 in particular. But we’ll probably just see a small bet here. Small bet. And Connor with the quick fold. So big. Andrew ship says Zang should have raised to see where he was at. Well, the problem with raising there is that he bet 40k to 40k and he only had 100k late and so he was basically saying look frying all day before I want to pull off some walls first. I want to so hard steaming here. Yeah, it’s now it’s okay. Nice hand. That was very tough for me. Whoops. I think that’s my biggest lay down today. Yeah, I’d say mine was the very first hand I uh sat down. I think I’m only for that hand to you with that bad on. Mhm. And there you go. There you have it. Only to Kim would he fold that hand because he just knows Kim is not messing around. That that sort of crazy way of talking to your opponent even though it definitely there’s no meaning behind it. Obviously harmless. I wish I made a good light on but it’s so out of line in a way. It’s so out of line. It is so out of line to say that. Like, you know, you can think of a variety of reasons why that’s the case. But it’s just to me, I don’t know. I get a little bit of like a cringe vibe from that, you know? Just like why why do you have to say that? Well, guys, I’m taking off. You got a big camera. See you. Talk to me if you need it. Good luck. I need about 300,000 chips. You don’t need anything. You just need to stay in the tournament. That’s it. As long as you’re in, bro. Did you print a a chart to which hands to show a chart? Yeah. It told me that a straight beat’s a flush, right? Is that’s right. Someone in the Oh, that was Someone in the chat earlier says, “Donnie, if you get ace king tomorrow, do you go all depends on the accuracy?” There you go. There you go. Fold ace king. There’s 17 bets in front of me. Maybe I put it in the bin, but likely not. Okay, guys. Come on. I got 19 bets. We got to make something happen. No, just stay in, my friend. Just stay. Donnie Peters is heading out. He’s going to be playing the main event tomorrow, day three. Donnie is still in, Dylan. He’s got 20 big blinds heading into day three. Nearing the money, I believe Tim Duckworth is also still in. And whether or not he bags or not, I will be questioning him about his day on the podcast tonight. Oh. So, I can’t wait to see how he he approached the day. You’re going to destroy him and how he played those hands. Who’s at your table tomorrow? Do you know? So, I only had two people at my table already. I’ll tell you in one second. We’re watching a hand. By the way, here Brian Hartner and somebody named Native. Native. Native. Like a like a screen name type, like a online name. That’s it. And then I’m gonna probably get, you know, six other people from today. So you get you’ll get um Aaron Zang and All right. So look, we do have a blind on blind battle here. These are very interesting. Sorry to cut you boys off as Donnie takes off his headset and he leaves and Connor just check folds. Seems fine. But I would say in a GTO world, we want to check call there. We beat bluffs. We have ace 10 high. It’s only two big blinds. Let’s see a turn. Maybe see a river. But okay, all good. All right, still a little bit of poker left to be played. And if you want to play some poker yourself, you can do so right now over at playpo.com. It’s a fun and free online poker site available on web, iOS, and Android. Play for free from anywhere. Sign up right now. There’s a free roll at the bottom of every hour. And you can also play var various other types of games. And we see Ryan Depollo still sitting in there. One of the faces I recognize in that ocean of players. Scott in the YouTube chat asking, “So does ABCD all grew up to group up tomorrow?” And that is exactly right, my friend. All the players from day one through day A through day come together on day three. Yeah, tomorrow we will play down to the money. We won’t play into the money, but what they usually do on day three is that they stop once the bubble bursts. That way, everyone who comes back for day four is already in the money and then they can do the payouts on day four. You know what, Remco? I don’t I think we’re going to be in the money faster tomorrow. Oh, it’s been going faster than expected. Look, if if this app is right, it says there’s 2,137 players remaining tonight. Tonight. Is that just tonight or is that okay, so that’s not the combined? I think that’s just tonight. Yeah, because if that’s the case, we’re kind of close to the money. But yeah, I I think that the last couple of years, it’s always been the same recipe, but obviously it has a lot to do with the the flow of the tournament and typically in a 60k starting stack tournament when you have 10,000 players, you’re going to reach some money around the AK big level, which tomorrow we’re going to be 3K, 4K, 5K, 6K, last level 8K. So I think you’re about on par. That will probably be very close to the money. or if not make the money, it could come in the 10k level. So, one of the one of the reasons why they usually stop play once they reach the money on day three is because in order to facilitate the ungodly amount of people that get paid, so you you reach the final 1400 that all get paid, then within one orbit, you’re going to lose 400 players. And you need runners to hand them their payout slips and you need the cage set up to process everyone. They have they have to have all their IDs with them and everything. So in a way it’s a logistical nightmare if if you do that at midnight. It was a logistical nightmare. Now we have the WSOP plus app. Oh, look at that. Which handles all that so easily. So but but like you would still need the payout slip or you don’t need a payout anymore. It goes into your app. You bring your app to the cage and you go get paid. Fair enough. Fair enough. So, yes, it is logistics nightmare, but the WSLP has done an amazing job partnering with GG Poker to add in this mix of technology that handles payouts, registration, updates, all kinds of things in a much easier format. So, I do think that it will be easier, but yeah, it might take till day four or we play to the money to the money tomorrow night. Yeah. No, but you you made a good point. That makes it easier for sure. Uh, Suana, by the way, check calling with 83 and look, that was a great check call by Suarna because he’s got equity, right? He’s got a pair of threes. He’s got a back door flush draw. So, he could hit an eight or a three or heart heart. Now, you might want to have some ideas of leading the turn when you hit a three, but he just checks. And now we absolutely have to go for value. So, it looks like we’re going to have maybe about 3,400 players coming back for day three, it seems. So, about a third of the field, and half of those players won’t make the money. So, yeah, it will probably be close to making the money tomorrow. Suana here leading for 27,000. Looking to get value from this pair of jacks. I love it. The bluffs that he has here are going to be. Let’s see. We have maybe a bluff incoming from two jacks. I don’t know. Maybe he’s just counting out the damage if he calls. But I love this bet from Santosh because he’s gonna have missed flush draws. But he could also bet a queen or a three in this fashion or even four five. He has four five in his range. He check calls a flop turn goes check check. So block with just a bluff catcher and he’s going to see Santo is not bluffing. three threes and great play, great pickup. We’re over a 100 bigs right now for Santosh. Yeah, very well done there. And can can we just talk about Santos for one more minute? Yeah, of course. I mean, he’s won millions of dollars on the Triton Poker tournament, right? He got third in the 125k high roller. He got fourth in the 100k high roller. He won the 250k, the biggest tournament the WSOP is offering right now, the super high roller last year for 5.4 million. He won a World Series of Poker Europe 50k diamond high roller. He’s like the high roller of all high rollers. Number one on India money list. Entrepreneur, investor, high stakes regular. Likes chess, soccer, poker, beast. High stakes beast. He’ll be bagging up a pile. Also played a billion dollar pot on high stakes poker versus Rick Solomon Santosh. And right behind him in tournament own earnings is this guy, you might have heard of him, Jonathan Jaffy. Almost 16 million in tournament earnings from my home area, South Florida. Used to play basketball with this guy. Great poker player. He’s got the king seven suited. He raises up. Let’s go. And his hobby is Starcraft. Oh my god. We would have been best friends if I met him, you know, when we were younger. I love Starcraft. That’s a throwback. Definitely a throwback. I used to play I used to play Command and Conquer Red Alert. Yep. And I used to play Age of Empires. Sick. Nice. I never played Starcraft. Starcraft was like one of the first strategy games that I was loving on the PC. Okay, so let’s see how one of the world’s best Jonathan Jaffy navigates. He just checks back on this flop and Estan Salav from the big blind is going to make the best hand and he’s got both players drawing dead to a chop. And let’s see how Jonathan Jaffy navigates this. Now granted, he has all the ace kings and ace queens in his range, but he’s kind of bottom of range with king seven suited, so he’s not going to mess around. He knows that he doesn’t have any 3x in his range really. And the big blind is the one that has the most 3x. So with a pair of aces here, you could just comfortably bet never expect to get raised here with a pair of aces. And you hope, you know, maybe kings calls, maybe queens calls, maybe a nine calls, maybe a five calls, a four calls, whatever. Tristan sounds like an LA fitness star league. fitness league allstar man back in the day on the basketball court you know I was all right I was all right I had good teammates let’s just say that here betting 11,000 of his ace Jaffy giving it some thought and look at this he just makes the call with this is some out of this next level stuff. He’s just expecting someone to just be bluffing here with just so many wide range spots like a six. I I don’t really understand that a whole lot. I’m going to be honest, but obviously Jonathan Jaffy is an unreal poker talent. But I just don’t know. Check into the river. Our opponent has all the two pairs. They have all the straits. They have a lot. I don’t really get that call with king seven of clubs. I’m going to be honest. Mike in the chat says, “Bro, we’re talking video games and watching poker. Does it get any better?” It doesn’t. Well, let’s let’s hear it. What What video games did you guys at home used to play? By the way, you know, another one. Did you ever play Carmageddon? No. Really? Carmageddon? No. Did you drive a car around until you exploded or something? Well, Carmageddon was like one of the first sort of gory video games where you could drive around and mow mow over people. Oh, is it is G the original GTA? Yeah, but like it was kind of like, you know, a crummy version of Need for Need for Speed, but it was like it was basically a racing game in a city full of people. Look, we got Doom, Age of Empires, Diablo II. Yeah, Diablo. What a great game. Age of Mythology. Real Chad’s Heroes of Might and Magic. Oh my god, I used to love that game. Wow, Tyler. Oh my god, we’re some nerds now. Battle Toads. Oh my god, what? Carmageddon 64. Look at these. Look at these graphics. Oh my god. Okay, maybe I did play this. Of course I played that game. Of course. And then you have the little guy in the top left corner. Contra. Contra. What a Oh my god, what a beast. I was on Sega. I was on Genesis. I was on Nintendo. Uh, we got a hand here, by the way. Twisted Metal, of course. A78 all diamonds. Boohai off with fives does have a diamond. Kovichic with queens. Black queens. Earthworm gym classic at four. Of course, Jimabo said that. All right. Look, you hate this with queens, but for 4K, the price is right. Bob Barker style baby. So, we’re going to call here and float, I expect. And look, you could just fold, but I I think really in a balanced world, you just flick in two big blinds. It’s just two big blinds. Mario Cosmos has obviously a classic. Zero trigger. Duke Nukem. Duke Nukem. Yep. Wolfenstein. Wolfenstein. Yep. The best. That was so scary. N um Golden Eye 64. I mean, I’m I’m I’m hiding in the building. I’m coming out with the oddball. You’re You’re screwed. Yours or Skate or Die classic? Golden Eye, of course. Red. I used to play. Oh, wait. We got Zang and Chung. 65K in the middle. Chung betting 40,000 on the river here. Zang with ace8. Maybe jacks, right? Maybe jack. Oh, let’s go here. And look, he loses to a lot of stuff. There’s flushes. They’re full houses or straits. So, disciplined laid out. What he’s saying? Yeah. 7 gold. Exactly. Twisted metal was a classic. You know what I probably played the most? Diablo. Yeah. Nice hand. You had to play that game a lot. Oh my god. The Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Because you couldn’t couldn’t level up. It was only fun. Why? I don’t really care. All the items you’d get and everything. I mean, it’s okay. Odd job. Yeah. Odd job. Sorry. Not oddball. We playing the same table earlier today. You know, three bread pur top pair and the rainbow and someone dunk just full top pair. I don’t do that. Zang showing off that he’s not to be messed with all too easily and also at the same time willing and able to make some folds, not getting too sticky. Bubble Bobble. Oh my god, I love that game. Do you ever play Bubble Bubble? No. Nintendo game. Unbelievable. Zelda, of course. Mortal Kombat, of course. Tetris, obviously classic. Tekken. Tekken. I was in the arcades playing Mortal Kombat with a book of all the finishing moves. I was crushing kids. Mortal Kombat 3 4. Like I would never lose in the arcade. Oh man. My mom would just drop me off. I’d be in there for hours. Yeah. Were you a soccer guy growing up? All sports. Yeah. I haven’t checked your hands. FIFA 98. FIFA 99. Those are my although this morning NBA jam um street NBA street I don’t know if you ever played that. You know the crazy thing is about our generation. Few minutes before we thought the graphics we had for the video games were like next level. And when you go back now on YouTube and you watch videos of old video games, you’re like, “Did we used to play this?” Like like a Tomb Raider, you know? She She barely looked like a human. Like it was a few boxes on a on a you know, now you can’t even tell when you see some of these firsterson shooter games or something. It’s like wait, that’s a video game. Blitz Madden, of course, those are classics. Track and field, Steve. That’s another Unreal game. I used to love that. Eufo, by the way, to sort of check in on the action here. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Poker poker two hands, but I was actually jogging. Makes a 4K takes it down. But uh Dune, it showed it last night. I swear I said horseshoe. Oh, outer table action. Doug B. Gren looks like Doug at 15,000. Yep. Doug free betting from the big blind here. EMTT under the gun six. It looks like little vodka soda. They’re drinking a little bit. Doug trying to talk him into something. I can’t just call. So, absolutely. What do you want me to do? Well, you probably can’t call after that comment. Okay. All right. I really need All right. We’re just going to see a fold here. I’ve seen shenanigans at the table. I know what happens here. This is just a fold. So, back to video games. Duck Hunt, of course. Well, let’s see if this table talk will lead to anything. I’m sure Doug has some oneliners prepared for us. I want the record to show the call right now would be amazing. That would be the How would you calibrate that? Whatever idea. Do it. All right. Go. run it to the end zone like the most famous EMTT. EMTT Smith. EMTT Smith once did uh shuffle up a deal. Yeah, he was out here. He had a little shy. He said shuffle up and play. What does it Does EMTT have a real hand? Is he really about to put Doug Poke all in here? Sorry. So the So the hesitation and the body language signals that there’s no way to continue here. Look, calling here is definitely a thing. If you have a decent hand, you can call here. But there are some hands you don’t want to call here with. I would say you probably don’t want to call here with ace king. You probably don’t want to call her with two jacks or two 10. Kings, you want to get the money in aces. You could trap ace queen suited. You could call ace king off. You could call. I mean, ace queen off. You could call. You could call with other pairs. But I knew it. I knew it. I told you guys. I knew this. All right. Tournament dealers in the main event. If you started the shuffle and Doug shows a bluff. I think that was seven five seated there. More hands at the completion of your three hands. Please put your cards away and ask for bags and pins. Three more hands. Ask for bags and pins. I just Star Fox. Of course. I just All my was just to put it all [ __ ] in. God dang it. Damn it, we wish you would have pulled the trigger, my friend. So [ __ ] annoyed. I know. Three hands left in the night. Right away. You’re going to get one very soon. Back to table B. Liv and Will Jaffy letting the people at home know how things are going. Here’s our main feature, Dave Zang involved in a hand. player can restart. Okay, Zang makes the best of it. He’s in position. He bet the flop, got called, turns a pair. The flush also comes. This is a spot where you are going to get called on the flop by a lot of hands like we see an ace high. So, we could see a pair of fives go for a small bet, but you don’t want to get check raised here. So, we probably see a mix between a small bet and a check from the strategy of the imposition player here. And wait, hold on. Excuse me. This was a little bit different of an action. Jiang raised. He got three bet by Davey in the small blind. Davey bet the flop. Jiang floated with 5, six of clubs and ends up making the best hand. I would have loved to see Davey put a lot of pressure here with the ace of hearts. I would have much rather seen Davey bet the turn so he could continue to bet the river. But now Jiang improves to nine to excuse me. fives and sixes, but Davey with the nut flush. Davey also a newish player at the table. Not much history between these two. Yeah, I would have loved to seen Davey bet the turn again because nine deuce deuce really good for your range when you three bet from the small blind and he has a bluff bluffing type of hand an 87 an A7 offuit. Um but whatever. We get to the river. There’s four to a flush. And now Jiang just beats bluffs. I don’t know if a lot of bluffs play this way, but he’s going to flick in a call. He’s going to see the bad news. So Davey with his ace tremendous value. One of the last hands of the night. Nine bigs. He lost nine bigs there. Not a lot, but yeah, it’s nice. It’s a good pickup. But Zen coming off making two good folds. Now decides he’s got to follow through and uh and look them up. So three hands left for these guys probably. I don’t think that hand was included in the announcement. All right, so we have Jeff Platt about to roam the aisles here of the horseshoe to give us some late night updates from the players still in the field. One of my favorite moments of the day when Jeff just lets us know what is happening here. There’s a few hands left on the day. Jeff, what do you got for us? Any big stacks? Any notables? Still doing well? All right, bags have been called at this table, which if we had any more time for another level at a feature table, it would certainly be this one with Randall EMTT and Doug Pulk. You saw Doug get some chips in pre- Randall folding and Doug showed him the 75 suit. Ryan, let’s move this way as we kind of walk you through the field. This is where the WSOP app really comes in handy because then I can know where everybody is. It’s like it tells me that Jerry Wong is over there in seat number nine. Quite the stack for Wong and a good day two for him. As we move forward, $2,163 players are left. 9,735 entries, creating a prize pool of over $90 million. That first place prize will indeed be $10 million. Something that might have caused a bit of an argument with you guys in the booth. That’s just what I’m hearing from. Well, just about everybody said that you guys yelled at each other for 20 or 25 minutes. We keep it moving. We walk down WSOP, former online player of the year in seat one, Christy Gford Pollock, she crushes me online day after day after day, but I wish her the best at the World Series of Poker main event. We continue to move through. I see a former full tilt pro in seat number four. He’s in the building. It’s good to see these blasts from the past. Everybody, you can’t quit poker. You can’t not play the World Series of Poker main event. Let’s keep it moving. We’re almost done. We’ve been at this table before. You remember Carl Dere from the great state of Montana. He is still in the mix in seat number nine. This shows you how cool this tournament is. Chris Vitch even plays. I don’t even think he knows the rules to no limit Texas Holden, but he’s in there for this one. The mix game specialist. They’re teach they’re teaching him and he’s doing all right. He’s hanging in there. You just got to survive at the World Series of Poker main event. We keep it moving. We move down this way as we’ve kind of ended our journey now. 1461 players will make the money. Could they make the money tomorrow night? Will it be early on day four? We’ll see. Let’s end with this. There’s Pads. He’s running for the hills. He’s gone. We’re about to leave as well. Pad chips in the bag. Day two of the World Series of Poker main event. I see Jason Somerville is still in. I see Poker face Ash is still in. So, at this point, let me send it back to you guys in the booth. All right. Thank you so much, Jeff. Thanks for all the updates today. And if you want to hear more from Jeff, he’ll be in the booth all day tomorrow alongside Brand Hanks. Should be an incredible sweat tomorrow. I think the button was as we hurl ourselves towards the money on my 2000. Topper pick starting stack with 60k. So, you see some players with 10x starting stack. That’s unbelievable. No, I’m I am quite sure. I Nikki says, “Where’s the I’m not sure.” Yeah, cuz whenever So, whenever you said that, they’re still young. Well, technically, it’s her, but I just I bit my tongue. So, yeah, I thought you meant me because I was the last one to get What are the names of the current pastors? Great commentary. Thank you, Devin Arnold. My name is Tristan Wade. I am here with Remco Renoma. We were joined by Donnie Peters earlier. But we’ve been here all day since 5:00 pm. We’re nearing the end of the night. Just happy to be here. Thanks everyone for joining us. Unbelievable stream. W’s in the chat. Thanks everyone in the chat for joining us. We got another 10 minutes or so. Night’s winding down. There’s three hands left or so. We do see some players bagging up. Appreciate everyone for joining us. Thank you so much, guys, for the support and the time and the love. So we see block raise and we see one of the poker killers Jonathan Jaffy right there from 954 South Florida call with Ace8 suited in position. W’s in the chat. W’s in the chat. Much love chat. Much love. Goes check. Check on this flop. Blocks going to pick up some equity. Drawing to Broadway straight. He needs a jack. He’s going to check. And I think Jaffy now is going to bet. When you check the flop with these kind of holdings, you can start betting now. 10,000. That’s 23 pots. 10,000. And look, the other thing about when the night’s about to end, people don’t battle. People don’t ma battle. Are we going to see king queen do anything here? But I said, lots of people are just so relieved to get this far. They just want to put their chips in the bag and go home, eat some dinner, grab a drink, hit the pillow, Joseph, we’ll work on that. Joseph, I’ll talk to my producers and see if we can get the audio levels right. I know. I know. Sometimes we we we’re kind of loud in the booth. It’s our fault. Yeah. Uh quick little side note here, by the way. Um what I said earlier was incorrect about tomorrow’s starting time. We are doing the full day tomorrow. So from hand one will be in the air. So look for us at 3 p.m. Pacific time until 1:00 a.m. So you better cancel all your plans for tomorrow. Jeff and Brent with full day of action. Please keep an eye out on the socials. Cooko on Twitter, also on pokco.comschedule for any updates. I know that it was posted earlier saying 5 pm on there, but that is not correct. We are showing the full day start to finish as Eufano is contemplating at least Jack. Oh yeah. Yeah, Jeff and Brent on the call. That is correct. I got you. Tournament players, we need your first Okay, so we do see a raise and a three bet. Once you have finished your bagging process, we ask that you please exit the tournament area. And this is a tough spot if you’re Euano players, please be patient. You might just want to bag it up, but he’s in a call. This is a big bagging. Sorry. And in position player Davey, they these guys both have the same hand. Davey with the advantage, though. is in position and he’s going to bet any flop more or less. Now, this is maybe one flop. Oh, congrats. That we see a check back. Now, the the bubble might actually hit late tomorrow. The attrition rates really fast. More breaking news. Breaking news. Jared Blesnik is joining Jeff and Brent’s. So, we get the full BZ experience. Jeff and Brett, I believe Natalie Bod on the floor. It’s going to be a great show. Like that. What a step up from us. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Get us out of here. Get the real team. We’re just getting owned. We’re just placeholders. It’ be nice for us. Okay, so Davey is going to just going to come with a small C bet with range. Like 500 and Euano has really nothing to do but call here. I mean, it’s always like day four. You beat pocket 10s. You beat bluffs. You beat ace queen. Now you don’t love not having a spade in your hand. You don’t love how your stack is dwindling, right? There’s 49k back. There’s 44k in the middle, but obviously nothing else to be done here with second pair. Three of clubs on the turn. Again, I expect this pot to be checked. It’s weird how they do that cuz Davey might not Yeah, the total is be in the same atmosphere I’m in, right? Davey might just say, “Look, I think I got the best hand. I don’t think you got crap. I’m just going to jam all in because you got a pot-siz bet left. And that’s going to be a really tough spot for Euano. But if this goes check check, I think both players just have a sigh of relief and they chop this pot up before the night’s over. But no, we’re looking at chips. And this is the beauty of the main event. Not everyone thinks like I do. And Eufano is in the blender. You beat bluffs, you lose to ace king, you lose to pocket queens, you lose to pocket aces. Obviously, you lose to the one combo of pocket jacks, which would be the jack of hearts and the jack of clubs. And here’s the other problem. You’re not that deep. He bets 21K. You got 49K. So, you almost just have to put your money in here. Do not be yelling at my floor staff members. They are getting to you as so let’s see what happens. The idea is you just won’t want to call here because there might be a spade, there might be a club, there might be some bad river. So it’s like at this point you just put the money in if you think you’re good. But he just elects to fold a chop, which would have been a chop. And Davey’s aggression pays off here. Tough two for Eufano knowing that he’s now going to likely take 49,000. Stuck in here, but they got rid of the blacks a long time ago. Oh, you’re going to forfeit that chip. That’s how that works. All right, we are wrapping things up again. Keep an eye out on Booker and Twitter for the latest updates on tomorrow. But I can already guarantee you full day coverage wall to wall from hand number one Jeff Platt, Brent Hanks, and special guest Jared Blesnik for Donnie Peters who’s playing tomorrow and Tristan Wade, my trusted co- commentator. My name is Rem Corin. It’s been an honor and a pleasure calling the action for you on day 2D of the main event. Please on your way out, like the video, subscribe to the channel, and make sure you don’t miss a minute of action tomorrow. will be live as well on both poco.com and on our YouTube channel. For now, want to wish you a good night or a good day depending on where you’re watching from as we look at the Las Vegas strip. So again, please join us again tomorrow. Thanks for watching. See you on day three.

People so afraid to bust out that there too afraid to play it's embarrassing watching people play like this live 😅😅 You gotta play your game otherwise what's the point
Why did they delete Mintzy from the thumbnail ?
Les Goh All Blacks
Atrocious play at 1:51:00 mark
this stream couldn't be more boring after the last one with rigby, power and etc players who at least played some hands 🙂
Massive improvement from that tucker character. At least you guys are interested and paying attention.
🕵️Some things aren’t meant to be said out loud—just peek profile pic..❤🎉
Imagine playing 4 days for a min cash to make 5k it will cost you that and more to stay in vegas for 4 days 😂😂
The price money dabate was awful to hear. I can listen to someones opinion but I cant stand this kindergarten exchange like 'my shoes are so much cooler than yours'. That took away a lot of my enjoyment from todays stream because it kinda stuck with me til the end and beyond tbh.
I hate that Poker GO constantly props up Ma… he’s terrible at poker.
Jamie Staples my favorite poker streamer
Fvck that main table WE WANT POKERFACE ASH
Mitsey has no self awareness…his table talk is atrocious with a female at the table and that voice yikes…the worst table in the world kabrel, helmuth, mitsey, depaulo, mike the mouth, Kassouf, brennes, hawkins and nguyen
The argument over the payout structure makes for horrible commentary. Insta-skip.
dude had 150 big blinds and folded 10's would have likely doubled up from Zhang
How do the announcers not understand how to calculate pot odds
If the pot has 109k in it and it’s 70 to call. It’s 70 to win 109. Not 70 to win 179 smh
The poker payout logic was absolute trash. More $$ less people getting paid is always better. People tune in to huge payouts. That grows the poker community
It's BUTTON not BUH-EN. The Ts are not silent!
“ nine high like a boss”
Give us more Will Kassouf
Sean perry giving us some more cringiness
Liv B wins the dumbest hat World Series
Bunch of Lani simps
You guys are just hating your not playing
Bring back the old intro song please! It was so much better!
All in ‘Everything and it’s mother”
This tournament is full of people who aren't rolled for it.
The double owl call at 7:47:56 😂😂😂
shabelnyk annoyingly slow
Can yall please mute the players mics, its hard to pay attention when theres 6 different people talking at the same time.
Obviously he was protecting his fold range by including some nuts. Geez, it's like you guys have never played poker before.
I met Zhang during a break at the Colossus..really laid back dude
Muting the players would improve your broadcast immensely for the viewers.
5:11:23 horrendous 16BB jam and even worse rejam.
leonard's jacket is what youtube looked like back in '07
Perry also insufferable
Jacksonville fl unf baby!
Tuned out, dude wouldn't shut up about the pay out,
27:07 Worst fold of the series.
Yesterday we had Rigby mixing it up, being aggressive being entertaining. Today it’s a bunch of scared nits. Some of these folds are straight up embarrassing.
Mintz sounds like he smokes a pack a day
Tristan, can you give different perspective on hands and better way to play based on opponents actions?
Tristan crushing the commentary again.
Mintz sounds like Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. Or Yoda after a long smoky night of waxing existential. Glad he isn’t on today!
Commentary on the hands was 🔥… learning Soo much…to be a fly on the wall as the players watch the stream would be 😂
3:45:08 Tristan- Guys I don't know what to do people on Reddit are making fun of me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
5:53:27 when your first sighting on the broadcast is you getting silent treatment 😂😂😂😂😂 what a guy 😅
I guess the announcers think we’re tuning in to hear them talk and not watch poker
Imagine somebody repeatedly saying they disagree to the self evident statement that you want to pay places other than 1st. Incredibly terrible take.
OMG O’Brien is GARBAGE
What an amazing call! 2:53:56
