joey demush can i get one tournament tip you gotta win you're all in you gotta win your all ends
we have arrived at the win slash encore 600 signature series 250 000 guaranteed day 1c i
expect a prize pool closer to 400 000 probably uh 50 60 000 for first day two is tomorrow so
we're gonna be bagging and tagging tonight around midnight i believe joey demush is the current chip
leader apparently he won all of his all-ins must be nice it's our turn to win all of our all-ins
and run like the sun and capture the elusive win spring classic trophy let's get to work
with blinds at 200 300 300 one minute before break time 25 000 starting second we look down
at pocket queens under the gun hello ladies i may get 700 to go action folds all the way
around to the big blind who puts in the call no ace for king please dealer flop comes queen eight
five two hearts one diamond top set looking good a lot of draws out there he tacks i bet
700 fully expecting a check raise but they fold and we have 26 000 coming back from first break
and we have made it to dinner break coming back to 1 1500 1500. great structure at the wind four more
hours before we bag and tag around midnight let's enjoy some dinner at charlie's at the wind with
uh two special guests you might know him as ryan depaolo and joey demush let's eat some chicken
i don't think i need to be uh hello we just ordered
wait a minute is that a cherry on top do you like cherries no i like popping cherries
the mush is advice for what to do i didn't even have the cherry the mush period did you
intro him to the vlog or what the mush oh in general i used the clip oh oh yeah you have
to win you're all in can i get that i did i didn't get it pure because he like forced
it on you joey to mush can i get one tournament tip
he's too excited for that this is a good shot of him with this like
there's two people filming a man and i literally straw jake
you want the cherry or not no i don't [ __ ] like cherries actually maraschino cherries are
stored in partially embalming fluid as a preservative ryan
it's for you fatty
jeff handed me his waffle bowl when i ate like most of it no get that [ __ ] away from me with
blinds at 500 1 000 1 000 under the gun opens to 2 500 i'm in middle position with pocket
jacks and 40 000 chips attempted a three bet but what happens if they four bet they probably got
ace king i fold and i get owned so that paranoid line of thinking makes me want to just flat the
jacks and hope to flop a set unfortunately two other people call behind me and the blinds fold
we're four ways to a flop with pocket jiggities no jiggity no doubt flop comes queen jack rag rainbow
original razor under the gun bets 6400 hopefully they have aces or kings and we just cracked them
we don't want to raise here just in case someone behind us wants to get crazy we put in the call a
brazilian guy on my left shoves all in for 11 000 and change folds back around to original razor who
puts in the call we cannot reopen the action this is unfortunate so my only option is to call the
turn is a brick of hearts bringing backdoor hearts original razor checks i have about 25 000 in my
stack just under a pot size bet could jam but i think we want to really milk all the ace queen
king queen combos so we put in a bed of 10 000. they think about it and put in the call we have
15 000 behind let's pray for a brick i don't think they have pocket queens the river is the eight of
hearts bringing the 910 straight and the backdoor hearts they think for 20 seconds and check to us
i thought they were gonna donk jam i would have puked all over the table instead i think i got to
go for that last ounce of value i put it in the middle and they quickly fold i think they were
just fishing around with ace king we show our jacks brazilian on my left all in has ace queen
top pair no good and we scoop a monster pot we now have 80 000 chips we made it to dinner break
four more hours until we bag and tag glad to have a break extension 30 minutes extra why because the
lines are too long to eat at the chinese place oh [ __ ] [ __ ] i mean it's good to give everyone
come back time a nice dinner with a chicken sandwich in my belly feeling good ready to
gamble i've been playing very tight real small ball and it's time to change gears so
right out of the gate cutoff opens to 3000 at 1 1500 1500 button who's been very active
on my right makes it 8 500. cut off has a 40k starting stack and button has 150k
i have 80k and i look down at ace 10 of hearts in the small blind normally i just fold here but
sometimes you got to mix it up sometimes you got to come in with that cold four bet we're
coming in cold make it 25 000 to go with the intention of folding it to a five bet big blind
folds cut off folds and button eventually folds and we take down a nice pot off to a good start
a seat opens at my table and it's built by none other than my free pandemic bowling teammate
eric baldwin aka basebalding welcome to the table with your 370k stack let's battle two
more hours of play before we bag and tag my goal is uh 250 000. i'll be happy with that
overall been pretty car dead throughout the day never saw ace king maybe saw ace queen
once or twice uh king's once in the big blind and small blind lint folded to my raise so
no action there i was just thinking let me get ace king i know how to play ace king
let's gamble and what do you know under the gun i've been folding for about an hour no v pip at 4k
big blind we opened it up to 9 000 to go under the gun with ace king offsuit and we receive zero
respect from our table mates i get four calls two middle position one button one small blind
and then the most aggressive player on the table in the big blind sees this as a great
opportunity to shove in 175 000 chips i started this hand with exactly 150 000 chips so they do
have us cupboard we do only have ace king it is a drawing hand it is ace high but if we assume
that my opponent is also jamming ace king ace queen maybe king queen suited as opposed to
just completing maybe some mid pairs i think our equity is pretty decent considering the uh
40k and dead money out there so as andy dufresne said you got to get busy living
or get busy dying we're all in everybody else folds and the big blind has pocket kinks
did not expect that one uh expected a you know three bet to say 45 000 or so but uh good play
him he got us good uh we're gonna need a miracle ace at somewhere on this board and we got video
wow full double plus the dead money we're now sitting on about 335 000 chips primed
to bag and tag and make it to day two of the win 250k 600 buying one bullet
one orbit later a asian male age 21 to 40 who's been clicking some buttons opens to ten thousand
he has this pet peeve where he doesn't put his chips forward past the line so the dealers
have to max ben to retrieve them even though he's been told please push your chips forward
so we're looking for a little revenge on behalf of all the dealers out there
and what do you know we're in the hijack with ace king off suit he started this hand with about 90
000 chips so we're gonna three bet two three x make it easy for him thirty thousand to go
give him some perceived fold equity if he wants to rip it in there with ace queen
king queen ace jack suited [ __ ] like that asian male age 21 to 40 on our left has been
pretty aggressive decides now is the time to risk all of his chips all 181 000 of them
he's all in cold for bed alert action folds back to me we have them covered and we have ace king
not the best situation but one we can't really pass up they're gonna have tens jacks queens
ace king ace queen and we put in the call and he shows us pocket aces that's a bad hand to be up
against when you have ace king offsuit let's run the equities not looking good and we have video
three hearts on the flop he can't believe it we're about
to give pocket aces the ultimate bad beat and propel ourselves to 500 000 in chips
possibly chip leader for our flight we got two poles at a heart let's get there
unfortunately it goes brick brick and we send a uh 380 000
ship pot in the wrong direction but that's okay we still got about 150
k and we're going to keep on grinding trying to find that elusive bag and tag
sometimes you fly too close to the sun and you get burned the day is over it's midnight and
we have bagged 178 000 chips coming into day two about 30 people from the min cash
of about 1300 bucks and i think it's 90 000 for first in 12 hours we gotta get some sleep
get some food and come back strong big day two ahead of us stay tuned
and we have made day two of the win 600 250k guarantee of course they blew through the
guarantee over a 500 000 prize pool 89 thousand dollars for first 10 minutes before we unbag and
begin this uh journey to the final table about 25 from the min cash 300 uh we're gonna do everything
we can to accumulate all the chips and win the tournament not too much to say about that let's
stay focused let's make good decisions and let's make this one hell of a vlog let's get that true
the key to day two's is not being late i'm late but i have 100 of my own actions so it's all on me
with blinds thousand five thousand five thousand one hundred and fourteen people remain 103 get
paid i haven't had any hands of note and we have 142 000 starting this hand i'm in middle position
with jack and iron of hearts and i open it up to 10 000 and the big blind defends off of a 155k
stack he has us covered flop comes king six four two hearts we got a flush draw checks to us we
could check or we could play aggressively and go for the c bet try to take it down see bet 10 000
chips and he calls the turn is a beautiful one the eight of hearts he checks and it's time to
size up just a little bit we want to target all of his king x make sure they're sticking around
maybe pear plus one heart draw hands so i go ahead and bet 20 000. he thinks for a long
time and shoves all in having us covered does he have a bigger flush do we risk our tournament life
10 from the money i snap call and he shows seven five for the straight straight
less than plus no sweat on the river and we get that full double up to almost 300 000 chips
let's put on that bubble pressure a few moments later
i forgot to mention on day one we were about eight hours into play
and i just realized that they weren't using the auto shufflers in the encore poker room because
they want to keep all tables equal there were some tables outside of the encore poker room that don't
have auto shufflers so the hands per minute must be fair for everybody and the big compliment to
win is i didn't even notice it because the dealers are so good here so play it away
with about 70 players remaining i have about two hundred thousand at five thousand
ten thousand ten thousand seven handed elderly caucasian man opens under the gun plus one
he lost the last three pots in some frustrating fashion and he's blinded down
to about 250 000 action pulls around to us in the small blind and we look down at ace nine of spades
pretty marginal but sometimes you got to take risks in tournament poker he doesn't seem to want
to risk his tournament life without a premium so let's put him to the test i'm all in for 20 pigs
he goes deep into the tank wants an exact count we count it down i say it's about 200k it's exactly
200k and he eventually puts in the call with two black tens let's win this 30-70 and we have video
and we are out of the wind 600 250 k actually 513k crush the guarantee as always i got to say coming
back to live poker not as fun as it used to be with the masks and plexiglass but it is what it is
i expect the world series of poker to be back late in 2021 got to get that money until next time make
