All right, everybody.
Welcome to the first ever recorded all-in bestie invitational tournament here at the Venetian.
We have three of the four besties here, and then we have two of the greatest poker players in the world and Phil Hellmuth joining us.
Jason Drew and Alan Keating.
It's going to be an amazing show.
The over-under is seven minutes until I tilt Phil.
So if you have under seven minutes, over seven minutes, we'll see.
Set up the Polymarket.
Set up the Polymarket now.
Jeff.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Hey.
Hello.
So Jason Kuhn gets the advantage he doesn't need.
Yes.
Are you going to comment the whole time?
No.
No, I'm just going to take your money.
Boys, we've played on TV several times now.
Remember Hustler, Poker Go?
We've done quite a few different shows.
Yeah.
Thank God you weren't soul reading me then.
I ran over that game.
Oh yeah, you killed me that game.
Murdered.
Murdered you.
Also joining us today, Jason Kuhn, one of the greatest cash game players of all time.
Probably the greatest cash game player right now.
You've won 30, 40 million in cash?
60.
60 now?
70.
70 now?
OK.
$70 million.
All right.
And what did that idiot make it?
OK.
Whose count?
All right, here we go.
I'm getting pulled into the deep end already with Alan Keating.
No, no, this is the deep end.
Is this the deep end?
I've got to look at my cards here.
Shamath, help me out here.
How do you play that?
Against Keating.
I'm pretty sure I'm playing this hand right.
I'm sure you are.
Okay.
Same back.
Oh, this is a big table.
You're so far away.
Like, I have to text you to talk to you.
Hey, Keating.
This is maybe the biggest table I've ever filmed on.
It's a pretty great table.
Or played on.
It's sweet.
It looks cool.
I'm filming at the same table on Saturday.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Well, you could play 14-handed on it if you wanted to.
Yeah.
This is going quick.
Are you guys going to come to the Formula One thing that we got set up?
Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I have an ace.
No good.
I have two.
Wow.
I had an ace, too.
I told you, it wasn't deep end.
What a way to start the game.
It wasn't deep end.
You didn't even need to read.
No reason.
Was that the first hand?
I had it dust.
A7.
Yeah.
I think we're going to get one hand a round.
I mean to the people at home that watched that hand.
I think they're like wait wait, wait.
Jason lost too much.
No, he didn't.
It's Alan Keating.
I know.
How does he show up with aces?
You could have shipped there.
That would have gone for me.
The river was the worst card.
Don't worry, I considered it.
The river was the absolute worst card.
I don't know if I texted you last week.
I gave a poker lesson to a couple generals, Air Force generals.
And one guy, one fellow that's going to work at NASA and we were talking, there was a lady there named Blair Bigelow, who who owns a aerospace company.
And she had never played poker before.
And she started playing.
And it reminded me of the speech that Jenny just gave at the summit.
And Blair is actually more used to risk than most women.
But she was talking about how it's just so useful, for it's like poker's a great tool for women to just get in and get the feel of doing risky things.
You know, it's something men have been doing since we were little boys, a lot more than girls.
And to save Jason, this is Jenny Just's words about the risk.
Yeah yeah, I'm not saying women are scaredy cats, but I did think that that was a really great thought.
What happened to your lip?
Did another man bite it?
Can a man have a cold sore?
Dude, I filmed six days last week out of seven.
I'm tired.
He's pushing himself to the limit.
You're lucky I showed up.
Can we get a zoom in on Phil's cold sore?
Makeup on Phil Hellmuth's upper lip.
Herpes simplex 2 on aisle 4.
You know what I'm pissed off about?
Oh, my God.
He got tilted already.
107 minutes.
Nicely done.
I'm here sitting next to Jason, and they say, Jason, would you like makeup?
Look at this guy.
I mean, he's so handsome.
Did they offer makeup to the, like, 60-year-old guy?
He's an American superhero.
Let me tell you something.
For a bisexual man, you are above average.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's absolutely.
I'm pansexual, Jacob.
I mean, sure.
I mean, it makes total sense.
You can't be that good looking and just be hetero.
The blinds go up?
The blinds go up?
Bro, it was the weirdest thing for years.
Like, the third most popular Google search of me is Jason Coon gay.
And I was like, what is going on here?
I'm married.
I have kids.
I don't understand.
You're well-groomed.
You take care of your body.
Don't let a brother get hungry.
And you're thoughtful and kind.
Everything that straight men aren't.
Yeah.
You're thoughtful, kind, well-groomed.
Thank you.
And you're fit.
Everything that heterosexual men aren't.
Yeah.
I guess so.
Careful, Keating.
I limped.
Yes, madam.
Be careful, Keating.
I limped.
If it was aces, you wouldn't tell me.
You didn't do it.
Said it's pocket sevens and you want in for free.
Let him live, my lady.
Here at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Yes.
A little extra bonus supplemental content.
The suites they built are incredible.
They gave us some suites to stay in.
They're awesome.
They're sweet suites.
The whole place is redone.
It's amazing.
It's really beautiful.
Beautiful.
Bucket seven.
Helmuth comes in with a weak...
1,100.
Alan Keating says, I have 10 high.
Uh-oh, we got one more here.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Helmuth, can you tell us when you're in the middle of a hand?
I'll let you finish.
Then I'll talk to you about your clothes.
What, you mean I wear the same thing every day?
I thought we covered that.
Wow.
Is this where Helmuth loses it all?
I have a lot of sponsors.
Adidas?
Is Adidas one of your sponsors?
I respect it, man.
Before I had any money, I owned so many expensive clothes, and Homie's the opposite.
He's got all the money and wears the same How do you think he has all the money?
Listen, these guys, they really did.
For my 60th birthday, I had to admit I'm that old.
They gave me clothes that fit from wall to wall.
They gave me new shoes.
We know, Phil.
We spent money on it.
We know.
And then Jason took you down to some boutique and bought you some special outfit.
Remember that?
I bought him a nice outfit, yes.
We walked down to some boutique and the kid.
Gucci.
No, no.
No race, Keating.
Gucci.
Ace, king, suited.
The best detail.
Pulls out his card, buys you a whole outfit on top of the wardrobe.
He did.
No, no, the very best detail.
But in fairness, that tracksuit.
But you have to understand why I got them that tracksuit.
What I did was we were at a poker game and this website, like GoFundMe, had come out whatever a number of years ago.
And I was like, oh, that's an interesting idea, GoFundMe.
In this hand or the next?
In this hand or the next?
6-12, that's pretty violent.
6-12 is violent.
J Cal.
I think the best part of this is that it was not his birthday and we sang him happy birthday.
His birthday is a month later, and there was a guest there who it was his actual birthday, watching us celebrate your non-birthday.
Yes.
That's true.
That is the true sign of a narcissist is to hijack somebody else's birthday.
What do you say to your sons before you give them $60,000 worth of clothes?
Are you like?
My buddies all bought me a new wardrobe and I don't want it.
And this is for you, boys.
No, no.
He's like, my buddies bought all these clothes for me.
Stupid idiots.
Hold up.
You guys spent $60,000 buying him clothes?
Yes.
Hey, when are you going to spend $60,000 buying me clothes?
So this shirt is one of the shirts you guys bought for me.
Very nice.
It looks actually good.
You kept some of it.
It's all Saints.
I mean, I do wear some of it.
What happened to the bra we bought you?
I get paid to wear logos.
That's like...
Get him, get him, help me.
Get him.
I know I get paid to wear logos.
How much, 25?
He gets paid to wear logos.
There is no group without you, Jake.
There just isn't.
You do miss Jason. in the home game.
Oh, yeah.
J-Cal's the one who churns the butter.
Oh, yeah.
Everything's so nice.
Someone's got to churn the butter.
There's people milking the cows.
We're at the home game.
But J-Cal churns the butter.
No, no.
I swear to God, I'm at the home game, and I see this GoFundMe page.
They're like, hey, invest in our company, whatever.
I was like, I don't know, crowdfunding, whatever.
So I'm like, I'm trying it out.
I'm like, what should I do?
And I'm like, well, Phil Hellmuth is wearing a tracksuit that literally has tears in it.
It's so old, it's like fraying.
Yes.
So I just put up a helped fund a new tracksuit for Phil Hellman that I took a picture of his fraying.
You know, classic Adidas tracksuit and instantly 2000 comes in from the poker community.
Wow.
50 different people were like, absolutely, that tracksuit smells.
That's incredible.
That is something that benefits all of us, is to put him in a new tracksuit.
Wow.
Ten six.
How much?
Three sixes.
Two sixes.
What do you have, Phil?
Wow.
Oh, yeah.
I could have lost a lot more.
I was never folding.
Oh, he had the eight.
Never folded.
Wow.
You like that check on the flop?
He gets it all the time, John!
As I like to say in the home game, I don't mind losing to Chamath, boys.
How about that?
Nobody checks the flop on that flop if you have the button, except yours truly.
Chamath, take us behind your brilliant play.
It's a new segment on poker.
I will tell you because I don't really care that much to hold it back.
Phil will never play a three street hand.
So you have to reduce, you have to figure out the mechanics that gets him most of the chips in a two street hand.
Oh, wow.
So he'll never, he'll never, you just, you can look at any hand.
It's totally, totally pressing.
So you check, now you reduce it to a two street hand.
You min bet the turn.
Sometimes he'll pop you.
Wow.
That must pop.
So if I'm bluffing three streets, if I'm not, two.
No, no, Hellmuth has this very specific thing where he just will not play three street hands.
Right, right.
There's a lot of truth in what he says.
I've noticed that.
Yeah, keeps it small.
He likes to keep it small.
Unlike...
Keating made it two.
Oh, Keating made it two.
Sorry, I was gonna raise.
It's a home game.
You're allowed to raise if you want from us.
It's okay.
It's gonna be respectful.
I think fundamentally, there's two types.
One person looks for reasons to fold, and one person looks for reasons to call, right?
You and I are opposites on that.
I'm definitely the person who looks for reasons to call, for sure.
Uh-huh.
You don't say.
I concede.
It's kind of like the old school font playing cards.
I like it.
17.
This feels stealable.
Chamath is running the game.
Button move.
Phil Hellmuth is the button.
Phil Hellmuth is the button.
I'm going to say this.
All right.
Let me say this.
Two hands a level.
You brought up Jenny Just, who spoke at the, who's amazing.
Is it cool?
Can somebody bring me my cold brew from outside?
She started poker.
She started, I want to get this right.
She started Poker Power.
Poker Power.
She's educated 400,000 women on how to play poker.
They go all over the country.
Pretty legendary.
Yeah, and then they have like 1,000 women show up and play poker.
We have her at every all-in.
She's amazing.
Yeah, she does it at every all-in summit, right, Freberg?
Not every.
I was really excited.
I was like, you know, this lady's so into poker.
Like, nobody knows who I am, but somebody that into poker may.
And she's awesome.
So I walked up to her and she was just like, who are you?
Nice and humbling.
I was like, it nothing matters.
Oh!
Three birds in a hand.
Boop.
I love to teach her husband, Jenny Just's husband, because her husband's, like she is the Michael Jordan of trading.
Of trading?
Of trading.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a big, big praise.
Yeah.
I mean, like, it's... Hold up.
No one even knew.
No, I guess you guys will laugh at me.
All right.
I'm going to drop billionaire.
I'm going to drop billionaire.
No one knew she was a billionaire.
Five, three, five, four, five.
One high one, though.
Yeah.
Okay.
One high one, though.
Jack deuce.
I love it.
She stayed in the... Check.
Jenny just stayed in the... like no one knew.
And then she had, they had to post.
Yeah, and then they're like.
Ruh roh.
I think your guys' pod has done a great job growing the game, too.
I wonder how many people are playing poker now just because of the pod.
Playing because of the pod?
Yeah, I think it's got to at least be several thousand.
There's poker groups that are popping up in the Bay because of what they started, I think.
Away underestimation.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
At least a couple hundred thousand people have come in because of these guys.
Yeah, it's amazing, man.
Okay, I'll go all in.
Hold up.
Yikes.
Oh, yeah.
Freedberg.
Freedberg's always dangerous.
Always dangerous.
You're like the quiet killer at the poker table.
Wow.
Every time.
I needed a club.
I have the ace of clubs blocker.
It's like a perfect bluff card for me.
I don't think I've ever seen Dave have a losing session.
Ever.
I've had losing.
I'm down this year.
Oh, yeah, I know.
I've never seen it.
I've never seen it.
No, he didn't lose any other year, and then this is the first year we have him.
This is the first year I'm losing.
You're right, yeah.
Yeah, and I don't know why.
What, did he play once?
I didn't play a lot.
He's played like seven, six times with us.
Really?
He's been a little bit like...
He's used to sitting down and having the deck smash him.
He doesn't know what to do when he doesn't have any hands.
Yes, I noticed that.
He works his biceps more than his triceps.
I really enjoyed that one tournament.
I played that $10,000 World Series tournament.
That's great.
I've never heard that one.
I just came up with it.
What was that tournament that we all played?
The World Series 10,000 buy-in?
Oh, yeah, that turbo.
The turbo.
That was super fun, man.
6-12-12.
Yeah.
Yeah, you guys came in for that, the $10,000.
Honestly, I enjoy that.
Coon, if we launched an all-in tournament series as our advisor, our top advisor, and then Keating as our second most important advisor, what would you guys advise us to do with our all-in tournament series?
I'd say there's no amount.
I'd say... Because we need professional advice.
You've got to hire this guy, Helmuth, for any amount he wants, basically.
He's the biggest influencer in the game.
No, no, but we need advice from tournament experts.
I'll tell you.
Look everybody, One thing that I would say is tournaments right now.
In my opinion, it's like they're hurting herding cattle at a farm.
In my opinion, players are kind of treated like you guys will do whatever we want you to do, because we know you will.
So they just kind of treat the mainstream player pretty bad at tournament stops.
So I think like starting earlier, having a nice lunch break, letting them go home in a recent, at a decent time, rather than just like That would get me to play.
This is why you like Triton?
Is Triton different?
Triton plays late, but they give you a super ultra VIP experience.
I still wish that they would shut things down earlier, but those guys don't really work like that.
They just play all day, every day, and at the end of the day, you have to cater to what they want.
Uh oh.
What do we got?
82.
Who's that?
J. Cal?
J. Cal.
Yes.
By the way, everybody, tomorrow Guy Liberte is hosting the one drop at noon.
Yeah.
You were telling us that.
Yeah.
I had a good, really good.
It's going to be a fast.
Oh, my God.
I was dead.
I would play that.
Oh, no.
90%.
You can donate.
Like, if I win, I'm going to obviously donate.
Probably all of it, at least half.
How much is the buy-in?
$5,000 buy-in at noon, and they're going to end it quickly.
We need to do elite.
But you're doing live?
We want to do the most elite poker tournament ever with the highest end.
So would poker players?
8-16?
8-16?
Let me ask you one question, though.
Would poker players be willing to pay to play in a tournament, to play in an elite kind of environment?
Yes, I think absolutely.
Even professional poker players, they lean towards good experiences.
They go to venues that make them happy when they wake up and grab breakfast or take a walk outside.
A few of the stops that you play internationally, they feel like poker prison.
It's like the only thing that exists is a poker game where you just get depressed.
Why am I here?
I don't want to be here.
So I think, have it at a great venue where there's stuff for people to do outside of poker.
Have reasonable hours for the tournament.
Make it more experience-based than just poker.
So people are actually enjoying themselves.
And the thing is, if you want to degen, if you want to degen, there's a casino.
You can bag your chips up and go degen.
If you want more time to gamble, you can do that.
I would say that these guys and us, we all like two-day tournaments.
Yeah, let's get the final table on day two.
I mean, that's just, that's every trident right, even keating might be.
My biggest issue with tournaments is there's too much skill involved.
I'd like to figure out a way where it's more luck.
You know tritons, fast schedule or fast structures yeah really, i mean, give me three cards.
I don't know.
Have you seen how many randoms when tournaments skating?
Yeah,
The faster structures, they... Four?
Three?
Offsuit Jack.
Like a fucking ding-dong.
Ships it with the opposite jack, which isn't the right thing to do.
There's a lot of luck involved in tournaments.
I'm only playing the players.
I'm really just being silly.
I could have had that ace, bro.
What else would I have done on the button?
I had four or five.
I was about to raise.
I was about to three bet you.
Would have isolated.
I would have been hard.
I had a king.
Actually, if you bet small, you would have roped me into that hand.
I wanted to take you down early because all I'm going to be playing for is second place right now.
I know one of these idiots, pros, is going to win first.
All I have to do is just get lucky and double my money.
It would be impossible for you to win a 30-minute tournament, Jason.
What is this?
Talking about having a chance.
Yeah.
I just need to get lucky.
I think the blinds have to go up next hand because... Correct.
Yeah, there's no way this is going to finish.
By the way, good food.
When people are playing, it's like an actual offering that isn't disgusting.
I think... What's the blind schedule?
It's like...
Maybe we go 2-4.
Oh, can we play a bomb pot?
This isn't fast enough for you?
Well, I'm just wondering about our... We're playing three hands a level.
Why don't we add a bomb pot to this?
I'm not even kidding.
One level was two hands.
Why don't we play a bomb pot?
What time are we supposed to go on stage?
Can we rotate a bomb pot?
I'd check.
Is it 1-30?
Oh, shit.
What happened, is it just me and Helm you?
Me and Helm you?
I think we just make it a $1,000 bump for the rest of the way.
We could also just like play until 20 minutes, until you guys have to leave, and then we just all in dark and see who wins.
This is frustrating.
I have a pair.
6k.
He would bet 4k.
If you could give us a longer speech before you fold, that would be great.
I took 11 seconds.
Four second levels.
This guy's taking a 30-minute soliloquy.
He's like, guys, you're not going to believe this, but I got a piece of the flop.
What are we at?
4,800?
Let me make it about me.
They call that holding a funeral for your cards, right?
Yeah.
He's literally giving a eulogy for his bottom there.
I mean, I took 11 seconds.
We have 38 minutes.
Everybody, like...
I took 11 seconds to fucking idiot.
Nobody's out yet?
I really want to find a way to make fun of him.
Can you guys put a craps table in the corner while we're playing?
I actually am a big fan of that.
I have a cold brew out there.
Would you mind asking him to bring my cold brew in?
We had fun playing Baccarat.
It's on the table from Starbucks.
Yes, Baccarat's more my speed.
You and me, and we had some of our regulars playing Baccarat.
I've never played Baccarat.
I'd like to do that this trip.
Thank you.
Oh, you're too kind.
I'll just go with the cold brew.
Thank you so much.
Do you want half of it?
Yeah, I'll release.
Just put it on my laptop.
It's fine.
Do me a favor.
Would you split this in half?
And then I'm going to split it with Kuhn because he loves cold brew.
Should go for it.
Should be a hero.
Thank you.
I'll have you beat.
Just pour this half into another cup.
I'm going to split it with Kuhn.
Yes, I would have called you.
He's a cold brew guy, too.
I would have called you, too.
For the kids.
Oh is what?
Freeburg chickening out and trying to sit out a couple of rounds to try to eke out second place.
Thank you.
That's typical.
So are we going to talk about Alan Keating almost beating up the guy last night?
Hold up, what?
You almost beat somebody up last night?
In carbone.
No way.
He smacked his hand on the table and said, enough.
All the plates on the table did the little, like, one inch.
And the guy, like, started shaking and apologized to him.
What happened?
Are you serious?
He apologized to him.
Cut it out.
I'm not cutting it out.
The guy got out of line with Katie.
We had ramen at dinner last night.
So what's wrong with... It became political talk.
You know, we get the chicken farm, we get the ziti, we got the... Lavo.
And all of a sudden, then, what happens?
Son, you chum up.
So I was supposed to meet you guys last night, but... Yeah, way to make it about you.
Seven seconds to fill.
No, no, but I mean, I'm glad I didn't show up.
By the way, if Molly Bloom's here, she should come hang out.
So what happens is the guy says, I'm an ultra Zionist.
No, stop.
We're not having this conversation.
Do not talk about what happened.
Are you censoring?
I'm censoring the pod.
Okay, fine.
So the guy says, I'm an ultra Zionist.
And he goes, he goes, he goes, is Molly here already?
I'll tell you guys later.
Does she want to come hang out, like, in the poker?
So a priest, a rabbi.
You have a lot of discretion, Jason.
Is she going to the restaurant?
Because if she, okay, great.
Look at this board.
Who's in the hand?
I have a full house.
What?
I'm embarrassed to say.
But it didn't cost me any more than the entry fee.
Is this you?
Close your mind.
Thank you.
Careful, dude, they're on the floor.
Thank you.
Keating's trying to trap Chamath.
Chamath didn't fall for the little trap.
I really didn't know what to do with that hand.
You're not used to smashing.
Keating's like, I'm not used to having a good hand.
I'm used to buying my way out, not like, oh, shit, I have two.
Keating's like, I have the nuts.
What am I supposed to, how do you play the, how do you play a good hand?
I don't know.
These are like.
I love it.
Two premium cards and a great flop?
They dealt him aces?
Like, Keating?
First hand?
He didn't know what to do?
Yeah, I was totally confused.
I was so close to coming over the top on Keating in that hand.
And I was like, yeah, I was like, you know, Keating likes to drag people into the deep water.
Maybe I need to stand up for myself.
And then I was like, nope, I should never play any hand with Keating.
I should get all my money and good against Hellmuth and Friedberg.
The world's greatest tournament player.
I have this thing that has been trailing me for years.
It's like people say, oh, Alan, I can't beat you.
I can't beat you.
They'll buy in for 5,000.
I'll double them up six, seven times.
Then I'll finally win an all-in.
And they'll go, oh, Alan, I can't beat you.
145,000 of that was mine.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
All I did was come back and get my own chips.
I bet they're 2080 every time.
My fallen soldiers.
So fucking ridiculous.
Oh, and Min Ray is against the world's greatest cash game player.
We have, we have, it's interesting, like, you and Stanley.
Stanley Pang.
Time for pain.
Time for some pain.
Cookie jar.
Greenberg is so distraught being the first down.
Stop the clock.
I call a clock.
I call a clock.
We need a dramatic pause.
Oh, my goodness.
You got Jack-9, huh?
Show us your cards.
Show us your cards.
He is Jack-9.
Red Jack-9.
The good of the game.
Jack of hearts, nine of diamonds.
He's all in.
Show us your cards.
Make it interesting.
That's a good read for me.
No, no.
Show us.
Show us.
Show us before you make a decision.
We'll give you some counsel.
Oh, I would ship it all.
I would ship it all.
He folded.
He's on a flush draw.
He crushed me.
No, not him.
I had him.
Just the nuts.
Just the nuts.
Oh, run it out.
Run it out.
I always think no one has anything.
He's got spades.
I can't believe we didn't get all in before the flop.
Wow, he crushed me there.
He just knew I had a big hand.
Yeah.
Never seen Freeburg lose, I swear.
Looked like a draw to me, too.
Yeah.
Okay, start the clock.
Great read.
Line should be 15-3, probably, right?
It's been eight seconds, Philip.
Calm down.
May I have a coffee, please?
Yeah.
Sorry for yelling over the table.
It's probably rude for me to even ask.
I won't explain my reads on you.
I will never reveal.
Yeah, just take them to the grave, man.
Just keep printing checks off me year after year.
Since you asked, I will take a cappuccino.
All I want is a free beer in Tahoe.
Four sugars.
I don't want to lose that.
A little bit of lard.
A little bit of lard in it.
And if you can give him two cinnamon buns.
We're doing Thanksgiving in Tahoe, and we're going to do Christmas.
We'll see you in Christmas.
We'll see you for Christmas.
We'll see you for skiing.
Oh, we got to do a poker game.
We'll all be up there.
I mean, we can make it a business.
Christmas, you have to be there.
I will, yeah.
We could do a little business.
In Tahoe?
In Tahoe?
Why don't you come up?
Rent a house.
Rent a house.
I'll rent a house.
Everyone's going.
I'll go.
Are you going to be solo?
You can stay right with me.
I might have an extra room.
I have no rooms for you.
There's rooms for you.
I have 8,000 children.
Yeah.
Yeah, actually, I may not.
50-50, I have a room.
I have to see if... I'll have to figure that out.
Stay at his house.
His house is sick.
He's got a movie theater.
Do you ski?
I have a ski-in-ski-out house that's a little smaller than his house, probably.
But you're on the location for you.
He's got a killer, yeah.
He's like walking distance, but in the next door property.
You can basically walk.
You think I'm, like, too old to start skiing?
No.
No.
I'll get an instructor.
I'm unathletic.
I'm 45.
Although I did tear my knee doing it.
No, Alan, I will take you to the bunny slope and get you an instructor.
Easy peasy.
And then I'll take you out for a day.
He's got a French fries.
Sonny's up there.
Andrew's up there.
Phil's up there.
Over New Year's?
Gurley.
What are you guys doing?
I'm going to be there December 15th to January 15th.
We got to play some poker.
I may pop up for New Year's.
I'd like to play some kind of like a new game, like learn a new game, like Raz or Stud.
We could do like some random games that none of us have ever played before.
Yeah, I would like to play low stakes.
Like some Chinese half deck.
No, no, like what do you mean?
You don't want the short deck.
No, no, I would like to.
Short deck with an ante, yeah.
No, no, let's play short deck.
If we play short decks, low stakes.
Don't worry, guys.
We'll learn this all together.
I don't know how to play any of the, like, stud games, like, well.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Please hold up.
Whoops.
You got the six or the ace for the choppy.
Yep.
Oh yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Oh my God, that's so great.
What a call by me.
Choppy, choppy.
Wow.
Why do I not get rewarded for such fucking stellar play?
Unbelievable.
It was a really good call.
Nothing better than Helmuth not winning.
There is nothing better than Helmuth not winning.
I do feel that way.
I do feel that way, yeah.
It's so great when he doesn't win.
When he turns the nuts.
All right, 15-3.
Oh, you don't like it when I do that, do you?
For the viewers, one thing that they should know.
I thought if you had a pair, you would call.
I think one thing the viewers should know about poker is all the money in the middle makes it so that you don't have to get your money in front for it to be profitable.
That's like an important thing for people to understand.
Sometimes, even if you know your beat, if you're being laid a price to gamble.
Sometimes you have to gamble and it's better than folding.
And I think there's a lot of analogies to that.
In business.
Yep.
Life.
Decision making.
Yeah, like sometimes you know you have the worst of it, but you gotta run it.
Having the best hand is kind of lame.
It's rare.
It doesn't happen often.
I mean, some nights it happens a lot.
Hold them, it's hard to make a good hand.
That's why it's the best game.
PLO.
I feel like it's been sold as if it's an action game.
But if you come into the hand with king ten seven four, you're facing king queen jack ten and pocket kings and aces.
There's no board where you're... Where you're advantage.
You can't catch.
Shorthanded, it's... Shorthanded, it's...
I'm going to need a little advice, Coon.
I said all in.
Coon, he went all in.
I think it's been sold as a gambler's game.
This is going to be a big decision for me.
How much chips did he have left?
He could have ace-king here.
He could have king-queen here.
He's got like 19-3 or something.
I think this would be me a very tough decision for me.
He doesn't have aces, but he could have ace king.
He could have king queen.
Wow, do i want to go out?
Would he do that with queens or tens?
He knows i could have a king No.
I'll just go grab one.
He did raise preflop.
He could have ace kings.
Sugar, non-sugar things or whatever.
Sweet.
Nice to meet you.
Okay, I'll take one.
So many chips left.
Any of you.
All right, I'm gonna lift to fight another day.
What?
What are you doing?
Run it, run it, rabbit hunt.
Let's see it.
He's going back door straight regardless.
World's the easiest call.
No.
Oh my god, what?
I knew it was coming.
He's running so hot right now.
I knew it was coming.
You avoided the pain.
Wow.
I was like, you know what?
I could live to fight another day here.
That's second level play right there.
Fear rewarded.
The pros would have snapped the money.
Fear rewarded.
No, I mean, he's playing against me, so I would put him on a better hand playing against me.
He knows I play a tighter range of hands.
Good read.
It was the wrong read at the right time.
King-nine of clubs was a little stronger than I thought.
Yeah, he flips that over.
I was like, oh, God, that's gross.
Right.
Oh, boy.
That was a good hand.
I like that hand.
We got to get sacks out here.
Guys, Molly Bloom's going to come in at the high.
Oh, cool.
Oh, wow.
Ace-10 versus.
Okay, guys, guys, guys, get focused here.
We need diamonds.
All-in moment.
Diamonds.
No three.
No three.
Just diamonds, diamonds, diamonds.
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
Five for a split.
Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Phil Hellmuth loses.
It is going to be a five.
Hold up.
Hold up.
Nice hand.
Nice hand.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Phil Hellmuth out first.
This is what we live for, folks.
This hurts.
Phil Hellmuth losing a tournament, going out first.
The world's greatest tournament player loses. to Alan Keating, the wild man.
He can't even beat a person who plays 2-4 off.
This is incredible, folks.
What a turn of events.
Hellmuth busted first.
A documentary came out.
Shameful.
Disgracia!
A documentary came out this week, and Keating's talking about, like, he doesn't like tournaments.
Yes.
Because it's like for smooth brains.
And he just busted me like it's nothing.
I guess he's going to bust Jason Coon next.
Oh, so great.
Dear Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Correct.
Freeburg, get in here with a little Jesus prayer with me.
Come on in.
Jesus is ready for you, Freeburg.
Thanks, Jesus.
You better deal.
All right, Friedberg, let's praise Jesus.
Is it four?
Wow, blinds are big.
Thank you, baby Jesus, for busting Come Youth First.
Thank you, baby Jesus.
This is where I'm going to shine.
I'm going to be dealt a lot of big hands.
What is happening?
Did he just go all in?
I fold.
It's a good fold.
It's a good fold.
Close.
Close?
Buck buck free bird.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Hellmuth, so disgracia.
Hellmuth, when was the last time you won a tournament?
Oh, no.
Hold on.
Why you got to be so mean?
Hold on.
I'm just asking a question.
Can somebody pass me the salt?
I didn't know.
I made a final table at this year's tournament.
And I made a final table.
Let's just say it's been a couple of years.
But do you play other tournaments?
Are you playing like?
No, I haven't been.
I played three tournaments outside of the series, some ridiculously small amount.
Are you going to the Bahamas?
Are you playing the W?
I am going to the Bahamas.
You are?
Are you going?
I don't know.
It's too far away.
I just want to put it out there that if any of these poker tournaments want to pay my buy-ins, I'm willing to fly.
Welcome to the club, kid.
OK.
You're willing to fly in and play?
I'll fly in and play.
All right.
I'm willing to be a full tilt red pro again.
Yes.
Hi, Molly.
Hello.
Hey, Molly.
How are you?
Nice to see you.
So good.
Welcome.
Come on in.
Tough table, huh?
How you doing?
I mean, they're mean.
Don't worry.
Molly, they are mean.
Phil Hellmuth shipped all his chips with ace garbage.
Come on in.
We put a seat over here if you want to hang out.
Do you know everyone?
Yeah, actually, Phil's busted.
I'll take his seat.
Good to see you, Molly.
You're busted now?
Everything's good?
Yeah, first.
Oh, Molly.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you too, Phil.
Okay.
You know Timoth?
All right, nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
And Alan Keating.
Pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
You want to grab a seat?
Yeah.
I'm sitting here.
Let's hang out.
We're just hanging out.
Thanks for coming to the event this afternoon.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Oh, I was going to get 10s, I think.
How's life?
Oh, you got 10s?
I think so.
How's life for you?
It's busy.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Wow, I think we have 20 minutes left.
What are we going to do here?
Should we just play Bomb Pops the rest of the way?
Host the game of $3,000 Bomb Pops?
I'll interfere.
Keaton, how often do you play poker?
So learn.
We'll be ahead of the cards this month.
It's not a bad idea to play just so people can learn.
These guys are in Vegas.
You're in Vegas.
Yeah.
Where do you live?
I live in Boulder, Colorado.
Oh, wonderful.
Out of the scene.
You like it?
Yeah, I love it.
Bold.
Let me get this.
These are my old cards.
I can look.
You want it.
It is.
I just want to play a hand with Tamar.
Hold up.
I wanted to play a hand with Tamar.
I'll be in the Bahamas for a while.
Oh, yeah?
I'll be there.
Show him the bad news.
11 days or so.
That's it.
Let's hang out.
I'll get there in a second.
And then, oh, that's... Molly, do you play much games?
Is this $4,000?
No, I don't.
Yes.
I never played when I was running games.
My friend has a place down there.
Then the government took away my money, so I didn't really have any money to play with after that.
This is going to get punitive now.
And then, what just went on?
But...
So you have no involvement in any poker scene at this point in your life at all?
Not until today.
Not until today.
It's so interesting.
Molly's returned to poker.
This is like the version two of the movie.
Molly and I occasionally do an event together.
Yes, we do.
In Chicago or wherever.
We did one in Miami.
Are you going back to Miami?
It depends.
For eye connections?
I really would like to, but it depends on if I get booked, speaking.
We did an event.
He emceed the fundraiser at the Chicago Holocaust Museum and then i connections yeah well, that's where i saw you.
Yeah yeah, this is like the wind too.
It's like for 60 of the chips and play or something.
Yeah, we had dinner with sophia classic classic, right.
Yeah, We went to Carbone last night and Alan got in a fist fight with the guy at our table.
And they were like, I will beat your ass.
I will beat your ass.
Let's go outside right now, mother .
And I was in between the two of them.
And then there was reaching across the table.
I mean, Jason was laughing, giggling in surprise.
What if it was legit?
Like, you guys were going to throw that?
They were going to throw down.
He invited him outside.
Who was like, why did I miss it?
Christian Garrett?
He was like, you wish you were there.
What was the, uh?
Christian started it.
We're not going to talk about what triggered it.
OK.
Christian isn't built like that.
But it was political in nature.
I was just going to say, it must be political.
It was politics.
He's like an internet... Oh, politics is so low.
He's not built for it.
And Alan just said, listen, step aside, motherfucker.
Oh, you disrespected me.
I'm going to kick your ass.
And he slammed his fist on the table.
And the guy immediately started apologizing.
He did like a half an apology.
I've already forgotten it.
It was cool that you guys hung out.
They hung out.
And then you made peace?
We talked this morning.
The guy did take it too far.
He insulted him in front of everybody.
That's how guys make friends.
He said, you made eight signed remarks.
And I was like, technically, he made one signed remark.
Did you hear the end of the story?
I appreciate the talk to him today.
So we all went out to the barbershop club afterwards?
Yeah.
Part of the blinds always go around in the big blinds.
What is going on around here?
What is it?
What is it?
10,000, 20,000, one of the blinds?
That's actually how a lot of good friendships are.
Did you know this person before?
Oh, that's literally how you met him.
Legit.
I literally introduced them at dinner.
And I thought, well, I figured these guys would get along.
I'm like, come to dinner with us.
We're all going to dinner.
I'm like, oh, these guys will get along, no problem.
I was like, what the f*** just happened?
Oh, so it was your friend?
Yeah, it was my friend.
Oh, that's stressful.
Yeah, I was like, what am I, what is going on here?
It's all Friedberg's fault, it sounds like.
No, he's a very smart guy.
Very smart.
Everyone's too smart for their britches, they say.
It's not going to take much.
Shout out to Carbone, by the way.
Thanks to Alan Keating.
How much is this?
You're welcome.
Thank you for... How much is the show?
$22. in hand, isn't it?
Maybe it is.
I don't know.
I'd never play that.
I mean, that's a tell.
All right.
Coon Zone.
22?
No, 21-5.
How's Boulder?
Is Boulder there where you live?
Yeah.
You like it?
I do.
Yeah.
My family's there.
It's a fun town.
It's fun.
I have two good friends that grew up in Boulder.
Do you?
Are they weird?
Kind of weird.
Yeah.
Is it a weird place?
It's a little weird.
Yeah.
It's like crunchy.
People are like... But...
Yes, but also kind of not.
That's the exterior.
You know what I'm saying?
There's like a bit of, But there's a.
You know, my mom lives five minutes away and my brother lives four minutes away.
That's cool.
You have a good group of friends there.
Slightly.
I moved back like four years ago.
I mean, can you beat nine high, like a really bad nine high?
You were in New York?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my Lord.
What a beat.
Twice he gets it.
I had a really bad nine high.
Don't worry.
Whatever you shove on this hand, I'm calling.
I know it.
I'm going to need you.
Oh, boy.
Hey, Keating won the Warriors charity poker tournament.
I did?
They gave him a bracelet.
It was a ton of press.
It was pretty amazing.
Congratulations.
He beat Steph Curry in a side bet.
It was a cool moment.
That was the day he... The last longer side bet?
That was a famous day.
It was the day that Luka was traded.
Luka was traded while we were there.
Oh, that's right.
It was like 9.30 p.m. at the Warriors charity poker tournament.
And all of a sudden, all the players are like, what just happened?
That was spooky.
And it's just like the whole tournament stopped for a minute.
I bet.
Luka's been traded from the Dallas Mavericks.
Yeah.
And I had video of it, which I felt like a little weird even.
It was really weird how the room was just high, and then all of a sudden, what happened?
Grrr.
I don't like to fold.
Grrr.
Triple me up, Coon.
Triple me up.
All in.
Thank you.
Wow.
This is it, folks.
Am I actually going to fold?
You got a premium hand.
Oh, that's great for me.
Show your King Jack.
Show your King Jack.
Oh, my God.
I got two over cards.
Let's go.
What am I doing?
Let's go.
What am I doing?
Yeah.
What am I doing?
I almost went to bad.
I had A6.
I had A6.
King 6, which is like a perfect.
My A6.
Oh, my God.
My A6.
I had A6.
Four, five, slowly, slow reveal.
All day, right?
Nope.
GG.
All right.
If I could lose to anyone.
Thank you.
It's the first time I beat you in my life.
Can you have a 10?
No, I jack high.
Oh, he just tripled up.
All right, now my money.
My A6 held up.
J. Cal, how many chips you got?
Not much.
The chip leader, right?
Shamath is big time chip leader.
He's most certainly the chip leader.
Yeah.
Who's left?
Me.
That's four.
Four of us.
There were four.
Then there were four.
Are you doing Formula One?
You know, I wanted to iso.
It's like a little sneaky, but I didn't have the position to really iso.
Sit there and enjoy making some money.
I came to the first one.
Okay, thank you.
They're cool.
They're so cool.
Being on the track is insane.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's really fun.
These, like, trial days or whatever they call them.
Yeah.
They're not as great as the final day, but they're pretty fun to take and hang out.
My friend was just doing this.
Good luck.
How much is it?
I can't even play the blinds on the next hand, so here we go.
Insane, right?
I could see that, I guess, because you're still, like, you're probably fast reactions.
Okay, where's my protection here?
I feel like 16-year-olds can't lie.
Looking for some protection.
I feel like I survived.
I can beat one player.
I don't know if I can beat two.
I think you're going to have to beat three.
Eating decision time.
Love it.
It's a tough decision.
Wow, he's trapping.
Wow.
No, I gotta figure out if I trap or... Protection time.
Folding is not an option.
I don't know if you know this, but he's like These guys are all pretty.
I've heard of them before.
I've heard of you, yeah.
Good things or bad things?
Good.
Okay, good.
He's got a reputation for being an original thinker.
I'm so weak.
I'm such a weak player.
Well, you know who to give it to.
The luckiest man in the game.
What's the guy's name who ended up, that died at a young age?
He won the World Series.
Stu Unger.
Stu Unger.
You're like Stu Unger.
Oh my God.
Wasn't his whole thing very non-conventional play, Phil?
Stu could play super, super, super fast.
But he was very creative, played every hand.
Played every hand, super creative, lived on his reads, a complete legend.
And he might have been the greatest of all time.
He won the main event three times, but I think he ran into some issues with, unfortunately...
Nine.
It was drugs or something?
Yeah, drugs.
Drugs took them down.
Yeah.
But you ever play with them?
So close.
Yeah, I played with them a bunch.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's interesting.
That's maybe the person I'd wish I could play with.
His daughter, Stephanie, is starting a treatment center in Las Vegas.
I remember reading about how he played and his plays were always very original, very aggressive, play any hand.
That's one of the great books of all time, the Stu Unger story.
I do like the comparison, even though I don't believe I deserve it.
You guys want to hear something interesting about Stu?
Yeah.
He was a bridge player.
At age 15, he was the best gin player in the world.
And so he had a bunch of guys that were connected that would have him, at 15, go all over the East Coast and make all this money playing gin.
And at one point he finished in the top four in the world backgammon championships, was the best gin player in the world no one played him and was the best Holden player in the world all at the same time.
That's Stu Unger.
But I think, you know, unfortunately, cocaine...
It's a hell of a drug.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Cocaine.
Tell us about it, J. Kel.
It's a hell of a drug.
It's a hell of a drug.
But the talent that he has.
Jason's like chewing his, he's like, tell us.
It's a hell of a drug.
My fan is a hell of a joke.
No, he was the mob.
Yeah.
The Jewish guys at like the Silver Gall, you know, out in Rockaway.
Cops, everybody loved to play this kid.
So like playing gin was like a big deal in Brooklyn and Queens.
So they, the mob would just bring him around.
They let him keep 10% of his winnings or whatever when he was a kid.
And he would just demolish adults.
It's in the book.
Really?
Crushed everybody.
Crushed everybody.
In what?
In gin?
I think Keating's all in.
I actually have a story about this.
Yeah, he has got to post eight.
You got a two-hunger story?
I do have a two-hunger story.
Just so we know.
Auntie and then post the blind, yeah.
I just want to know where you're at before I do that.
Well, the blind comes first.
Eight and eight?
No, but the way they do it is the first eight goes to the blind, so he gets a full big blind dealer.
Right, Jason?
How does it work?
He's got seven.
Seven.
Seven.
Yes.
Okay, so give him eight.
But he's still got eight, right?
No, put eight.
Put another one in front of him, please, dealer.
And then there's seven ante, yeah.
Yeah, go.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
I've never been short stacked before.
It's true.
So f***ing sick.
I can't even.
Look at this.
Chamath is playing for second.
Oh, my God.
Aces, Aces, Kings in 50 minutes.
Oh, my God.
That's a break.
Oh, my Lord.
I tried to spin it so hard.
Give him a heart for fun.
Oh, Jack.
Oh, Jacky Poo.
ACD.
All right.
No suffering, no pain.
Keating's still alive.
I think Keating's going to win it.
Fuck.
I've seen short stack win so many times.
Yeah.
You got a Stoonger story?
We want to hear it.
I feel a little uncomfortable sharing it.
I've never like really told.
You're on camera right now.
I have the best 200.
Oh, please let me hear yours, please.
There's only 12 cameras in this room.
You know, it's incredibly off color because Stewie had like a huge horse .
A horse ?
Like he's like a little, he was little.
How do you know this?
Oh, there's a great story.
Big Al's got the story of all stories.
It's the best.
It's the story of all stories.
8,500 in reds, yeah.
That's the story?
No, the story is in the middle of a stud game.
For the audience at home, tell us what it is.
You want me to tell it?
I told you that story.
I told you that story.
No, Al told me the story.
Big Al told it.
I was there when Big Al told it.
But you tell it.
Oh, my God.
You guys are unbelievable.
No, we'll tell it together, but he was playing Stu's playing high stakes poker, but he's watching from behind.
Chip Reese, who's another legend, is playing gin.
Thank you.
But Chip has his hands face up.
And Stu's sitting behind him.
And then Chip turned to Stu and said, did you like that fold?
And Stu said, no, no, no.
So Stu's at another table playing high stakes poker.
Stu's like, no, no, that was a bad move.
And then three turns ago, that was a bad move.
And then three games ago, that was a bad move.
And everybody's like, what?
So here's a guy playing for millions of dollars and picks up.
That's the story, Chamath.
Anything you want to add?
Everyone's memory.
Why don't you just go to 510?
Yeah, 510's a little Also.
I don't know if you guys realize, but the last four level ups have been in my big mind.
Every single one.
I keep turning around looking at her like, what are you doing to me here?
Oh, I miss this.
Oh, boy, I need another huge talk.
I'll tell you the full story when we're not mic'd.
What's your two-hunger story?
It's fucking hilarious.
Yeah.
My grandfather had... He was a great card player, but as he got older... Fallen.
The gap widened and he ended up gambling all of his money away at the Detroit Athletic Club.
And the rumor was that Stu and some of his people were the winners of his money.
They took your grandfather's money, he gambled it away to Stu.
In gin or poker or what?
Jhin.
Jhin.
Yeah.
No one could beat him, even at the end.
In Detroit.
No one would play Stew.
In Jhin.
In Jhin.
I remember the stories of my grandma having to drive down to the DAC at crazy hours to pull more from the table.
Wow.
Crazy.
I'm going to say that Chamath has the best poker game in the world.
That's all I'm going to say.
10?
That's it?
Sorry.
12?
Molly's launching a new poker game in Boulder.
Right?
Yeah.
Probably not a big... No, that one stays.
This one goes for the... I don't know.
Yeah?
Could there be?
I'll tell you later.
Yeah, there's.
No, there's no poker games in boulder and i'm not running any poker games for the.
But he's, he's all in right right, okay.
So i was gonna over call a bunch of hands and gamble.
No kidding, i can't that one.
But someone else that just got in trouble is also no longer.
Yeah, classic race, classic race.
All right, eight five of hearts.
Man, that's a pretty hand, Yeah.
Like the 8-5 hearts.
Jason cashed.
The sixes win.
Cash.
I'll take a cash.
Uh-oh.
Does this go in our Hinden mob?
Deuce.
Deuce.
GG.
All right, CP.
Very well done.
CP, you got to make sure this goes in our Hinden mob.
Final stretch for CP here.
Does this go on your Henden Mob?
You know, my Henden Mob is so out of date.
Well, you could actually, it's in the Venetia, it's a legit casino.
Can you guys enter this tournament in the Henden Mob database?
You're the big, no?
No, I'm the big.
No, I'm the button.
He's the button, I'm the big.
Koon, we're playing with like three big blinds and I had aces three times and kings once, and I didn't win.
I got you.
20.
I have 27-5.
Jamal has all of the chips.
I got 110.
You'd have 102.5, right?
Or no, I'm sorry.
Was it not 30k starting stack?
Six-handed?
Yeah, 30k.
So 180 in play?
And I have 32.5, so you have 148.5.
He's got 148.5.
Tomorrow, maybe?
Yeah, like 36 hours.
Good luck.
We meet again.
We meet again, my eternal enemy.
And my eternal best friend.
Is that the 2-2-2?
Oh, yeah.
You got good eyes.
Look at that when you're stacked.
Yeah.
Which is right now, probably.
Which is this end, yeah.
Dude.
Is that even a fold?
I think it is, yeah.
Really?
That is it.
It's threshold-y, but it's a fold.
I think you just put yourself all in dark the next hand.
What is it?
Five?
Five pips, yes.
All right.
This is like a casino tournament.
You know, when all the gamblers that lose a bunch in the pit, we all get together and then we got five big blinds and they take a break.
They send you back to Baccarat and back.
You're all in, yeah?
I'm not.
You're not.
I've got 2,500 tips.
Oh, my apologies.
Oh, shit.
Hold on.
I was just going to flip my cards up there.
I think you're safe to flip your cards up.
He has 2K left.
Hey, hey, hey.
Oh, hey.
Bing.
Nuts.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I got two left cards.
I never ran any tournaments.
Yeah.
You're like 40%.
But I like it for other people.
If they like it, I don't care.
No king.
All in moment.
Brought to you by.
That's very interesting.
Nice draw for Jack.
All right, baby.
12,500.
Big money.
12 more.
12.5.
Okay.
I feel like... This is what you cannot do is give Keating chips.
Stamina, patience.
Coon chips.
Or Keating.
Or Keating.
You have to have a little patience.
Or Keating, yeah.
Hey!
My button!
I'm about to be dealt an ace.
I want it now.
It falls through the floor.
Yeah.
It's kind of like toddler mentality.
Yeah, totally.
But it seems to work for you, so.
I'm keeping up the illusion.
Yeah.
All in.
Let's go.
Big sweep right there.
That was a very important hand there.
That was.
I had it way above average.
I had a pretty good one.
I had a queen blocker.
I can't believe you start this.
I have an amazing, amazing story.
He had a horse.
That was your story.
I'll tell a story.
It's the way the story plays out that is actually exceptionally funny.
Okay, go.
Well, you told it as if that was all we needed to know.
No, but then I sanitized it for this, so let me just.
It starts off with the Spearmint Rhino and then it just kind of escalates.
What?
Context.
What's the Spearmint Rhino?
So you know, after Stu won the 1997 World Series, he went right, he loved horses.
He went right to the track.
25.
And all the money was in play right away.
Yeah, that sounds.
And in the book I don't know if it's that tournament he wins there's like three groups of people who meet him at the cage, who he owes money to, and he's collecting the World Series tournament's winning and there's like three people deep trying to yeah.
That happens in modern poker too, right?
Yeah.
Somebody wins, like, yeah.
I'm not going to mention that.
This is so painful.
I mean, it's so, so painful.
I keep thinking there's not a hand I'm gonna fold and then I...
Never would have thought that a 5000 five-minute down would put food in such a.
You've got to show us the food if you're folding.
It's really bad, guys.
It's really bad.
I have nine three.
Turn it over, turn it over.
Nine three.
Oh, my Lord.
Good fold.
He's got a king.
Come on, show the king.
Queen.
No king.
Maybe a jack.
Oh, I got the killer card.
Oh, God.
Oh, nice.
That's a winner.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow.
So what is the plan today, Chamath?
Are we going to come back here at like 3 or something?
Yeah.
I'm looking at real estate.
We got to go do the lunch thing here with Molly.
You're thinking of moving here?
No.
I think we're supposed to go on for five minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
I would move here, but Kathy.
Dude, you should buy where I live.
It's amazing.
Well, we looked at a house.
It's just too much maintenance.
But Queensbridge is incredible.
All in.
All in.
And the Kia V.
You know I've never owned a house before?
Not that much.
You've never owned a house?
Not that much.
No house, no condo, never owned a house.
You dominated, Shabbat.
Guaranteed.
You got three outs.
No, you absolutely have me dominated.
I want to call so bad.
And now I'm just trying to figure out if you actually flop your hands.
Oh, I want to call so bad.
I have a sick hand.
But you're getting such a good price.
I think you have to.
So sick.
Oh, my God.
I feel like he's going to spike.
So sick.
I think it's going to be a four in the window.
He's only a two-to-one favorite here for the people at home.
Here's a four.
Four in the window.
Four wins it.
Oh, that's a beauty.
That's a jack.
Four, five, six.
Over.
Over.
Holy cannoli.
The world's greatest tournament player might win a five-minute tournament.
35.
Here we go.
All right, 29 seconds.
Over.
I think at this point you guys should just go in blind for the next hand.
Vines are going up.
I'm posted.
It's already posted.
This timing actually worked out really well.
Yeah, it must work.
Yeah.
Why don't you guys just go all in for the last?
We will be.
We will be.
Don't worry.
What is it?
6 and 12?
Quick, quick, quick, before the blinds go up.
I'm stalling, man.
Now since the blinds are posted, I'm gonna sit here and stall, wait for the blind to go up.
You know, my favorite thing about tournament poker is when someone gets moved to a different table and you see them wandering around and looking for the table.
And they got their tray of chips.
And they look and they see, oh, it's this seat, but it's about to be in the big one.
Not many people do that, by the way.
I've seen them turn and walk around and, like, pretend it wasn't the seat.
100%.
We see that.
No!
Doesn't happen that often.
No!
Wow.
79.
Still a chip lead, right?
Wow.
I think I'm going to win, man.
I don't like this hand.
I don't like playing against this hand.
I think I'm going to win.
No way.
I actually think the Kings are going to win.
Kings are holding up for sure.
Eight in the window.
Yep.
Eight.
That's it.
Eight.
Eight.
Good game.
Good tournament, Chamath.
