HIGHLIGHTS - $25K NLH #2 | MILLIONS Super High Roller Sochi 2020 | partypoker

his willingness to try. Yes, definitely, this is the sport in which he feels most comfortable. Well, here it is. a pair of hands, although five years old, isn't that attractive again with such short material, so I'm just going to walk away. I think it should be to do its own thing. He has other intentions. It looks like it's going to treat maybe 400 better. I've got three in there, but it's not enough, four would be a boom, okay, that's what it is, yeah, with you, I like the size, you know, bet three. I think Ivan is going to allow this.

You have to do it once, although King 10. It's actually a decent four, but Jam saw it, but you know there hasn't really been any play. I think it's going to work, yeah, very good, very good, uh, that's a great swing for Sam takes the opportunity there and picks up also sets a little bit of uh the tone, okay, breaks Ivan's momentum, what was going to happen I even find a nice king, Jack 10, Sam topper, you know, Jeff, almost effectively, top pair, top kick, okay, we know what happened, isn't that basically Ace King? yeah, Ace Tennis Jack, it's almost certain, it's pretty safe, he has a key card for King, but he doesn't turn it over, no Spade, if you're just joining us, this is the 25k final table, only our final four left.

The players we are looking to crown our second champion of the week, our first No Limit that has the championship are the four and Mateus is in the shortest stack, only five selections, Ibinger with 20, Sam 27, but I am only now in front where he's been for almost this final waving the Malaysian flag just as fast, it's a great place for Sam, I mean, with aces, and your opponent is likely to get to this board when he defends the king ten six, he'll just be somewhere place there and actually has top pair, correct call for Asian, whether he checks the jams or just checks the calls and lets Sam have another potential bluff on the turn, but with so many draws out there, you think he's just going for The Germ, here we go, yeah, make a quick call, you never want to get kicked out, it's never pleasant. be broken in this game five outs a couple of cards to come yes Bank doors straight on the seven nine too and with a suit oh there we go now that nine and out no, it's never easy Jeff no, it's not this oh, it's for sure and that will tell us in the fourth good time to put Aces on the Adrian button throwing things on the way out, yeah, I mean, I always thought he was quite a gentleman.

Turns out he's throwing microphones and all kinds of stuff, still a good score, look Sam. Obviously I'm going to play with her much weaker than King Four. I think he's going to equalize. He does not like. You know, it's these places in the same place again. Don't you love it? It's almost like one of those things where he knows the book says to call, but I'd rather he said, I see you know Ivan is here, maybe he's a little less experienced compared to other guys that play, maybe he can find a better maneuver to cancel it, but again, this is similar to week Ace, right, you know it's a little different because it's like, although you're more likely to be ahead, but it's still like when he has exactly his hand Jack 10 8 9 suited, you are turning over the Queen 10.

Or sometimes it has five. you know, and then you're there, come on, that makes it cool. Sam doesn't like seeing the same suit, but he's close enough to flip the pot the size of Sam's remaining chips too, so the tires stay here, yeah, big swing. To be fair, Matthias has had a pretty good run of these, one gets flipped first right away because a small stack might have been left out and uh hits the king, wow, King in the window, but Jack appears behind, never easy, needs to fade away. five two to come three to one advantage oh extra ounce there's a good card for Sammy they just keep showing up right? these uh these groups never die he goes out but loses a card so his percentage is still at 20 oh Broadway Sam just does it in a big pot and he'll go toe to toe with Ivan Lau yeah quick I mean sure that Stacks hasn't done very well on these all-ins in bigger shadow over 200k little 8X Roi, yeah, and gets a little day off Sam now right in front Jeff just a little bit ahead now we're playing 40 big cash for the event number two here the five to four lead got the chip lead, but we have a pretty deep stack considering we've seen a lot of short stacks and Definitely anyone's game.

I have an ace in the big, this one is a little more playable than the 85 we saw a moment ago, so I decided to call the Queen eight with it. Deuce Sam takes the lead, he even has a juicy little King of. Diamonds, yes, the truck problem with Colleen you know and I agree that it dominates some other Aces, some nieces from Italy or all that, it's hard to connect the Eastern Nine, a lot of times you're going to completely smell and you can. I don't blame him for stopping here, he could definitely have the best hand if you're Sam, this is not a great card, call, you get called, you're thinking Hmm, connects with some of the gut shots maybe, Jack tens, Jack Hines, Yeah. the 9, 10 and 19. and the Jack ten, let's make a pair because Sam will be happy to go show here, although he gets a check again thinking maybe he has the best eight or Deuce, he could get some value in some hands. uh, eight with a top card is probably useful Celeste Valley, but I don't know, maybe not.

I mean, Ivan, yeah, I'd like a check there, but I mean, yeah, Ivan still has quite a few tens, yeah, for the diamond that comes out. ceiling I think the river was the four of spades, for example, so he probably tightens a little bit, he's willing to go down, but because when we saw Simon makes only three for Jama Ace eight down, he has ace four down and Ivan this game is a little shorter. yeah, Sam plays these little Aces pretty aggressively and you see that now he has separation 4.2 2.7 he's thinking about it again, isn't he?

I don't like it again with this, it sounds like this results and he made a misstep here and Ivan will love it. what Sam sees he gets on H4 Ivan quickly calls 71, you can see there are some skills, the ace four, although it is a little more powerful than the A6, you have the real chances, but this was a, look at this pot six. million chips, I mean, if Sam is obviously the cover stack but he only buys a little, he's the Queen, oh wow, oh, he's got the sword, even though he's, uh, wow, mark my words.

I'm just telling you that he basically never seems confident. like a river Mr. Ivan uh oh, he's announcing that he's letting others know that he doesn't want to join the short deck, but in a good spot, one pays away to take a big chip lead head-to-head against Sam Trickett . Sam is thinking, oh he does it with the four swords oh man, yeah, yeah, Sam's victory. I think he knows he made a little misstep there, but that's poker. Jeff, you know you can get lucky. Our second place winner wins 290 KN. I'll walk right into Tech Sam's face, 50km short, and he says he did it all dirty but he did it Jeff and that's all that matters.

He puts his hand on that beautiful Millions trophy. Wow, same trick. Late. Reg. The last one. Latest. In the last. Good style. Let the boys let me introduce you. You are a new champion of the 25k Holdem event in the Millions

super

hero series and some triggers, congratulations, yes thanks, tell us a little about the final table, the final table was pretty easy for me, it's just that I played pretty tight, I came in over there. playing pretty tight, I was second in chips and you're always looking to train the straight and play pretty conservatively and try to get a you know, three-handed and go from there, um, yeah, I ran really well, I didn't really play my best today I played very well yesterday um, but yeah, I mean, sometimes the eyes are on your side and it's meant to be and you know, whatever I did seemed to be the right thing and you know, although I got lucky in The Last Stand. and uh Ivan was unlucky and I think it was actually a terrible play on my part, yeah, but I make terrible plays from time to time, sometimes I have little moments.

I'm a little rusty beyond belief, so I'm feeling, uh, yeah, really. lucky because today no cards fell to me. I know you planned to have some. Yes, it is important that you have some activity outside the casino. Yes. I personally like it because when I get bored I tend to drink, make bad decisions and gamble. blackjack and random stuff because I get really bored too, it's a little bit better yeah, so it's good for me personally when I'm at our company events and skiing because it's one of my hobbies too. I love it, it's one of my passions so it's been really nice to hit the slopes here and I haven't hit it as much as I wanted to but I plan to hit it in the future, yes I know you mostly like more Holden, right, um, no, I actually prefer the pillow.

Basically, I'm a cash pillow player now, but I play No Limit Holden tournaments. I just randomly participate from time to time. I'm sponsored by Party Poker, so, you know, it's always nice to go to the events and play, but yeah, it is. I still enjoy it. I like it. I still love Poco. I had some great hands the other day and I still have a passion for it, so I enjoy playing them from time to time. You know, I just wanted to ask you why you play poker. It's been many years now, is it hot in front of you at the moment or is it still your main job?

I've invested in some businesses and things that are going well outside of poker, so it's become a hobby here if I'm around. Honestly now I play for fun. I'm not really doing my best and I'm not putting in the effort that I used to when I was younger. I used to try it every day. I will continue playing every day. doing and working and really motivated, but I've had some success and it's been going really well and I've taken my foot off the gas a little bit in terms of how hard I work, but I'm happy about it and because this life is hard, it's exhausting yeah you want to like the heat with these guys at the

high

est level, yes you can do it and I have done it before, but the truth is that you have to work hard every day because they are and are more. motivated than you because maybe they haven't had the success that you haven't, and it's quite difficult to maintain that motivation once you've achieved the things that you always wanted to achieve, so you know the motivation was There's a little bit of that, so I don't play The High Rolls as much anymore and I still enjoy them and love them and I like to go in there and fight with the best players because I'm also a competitive person. and it's the only time I can really compete because I don't play any sports anymore, Sam, what's your plan for next month?

I don't really plan much ahead, but I'll be going home in a couple of weeks. I'm leaving again, I usually do it after I've been away on a long poker trip because it's quite exhausting, but I've got some work to do because we're launching a cricket VIP room in about five six weeks, so there's a lot job. I have to design the tables and set everything up and yes, I'm looking forward to it because I'm trying to change online poker and offer you

high

stakes. It's as good as dead and it's a real shame because there are high stakes players. there, so I'm going to try to create good games for everyone and make people have a little more fun and I have some things prepared that I think players are going to like and that should also level the playing field. a little bit too, so um, yeah, I'm really excited about it, it sounds great, yeah, we plan to organize a poker school in Moscow now.

Can you give some advice for new players? Try to learn from your mistakes if you are just starting to play. start pretty tight with don't try to play hands that are hard to play start playing like really strong hands um no it made the decisions a little easier um yeah and try to learn from mistakes don't be results oriented yeah You know if you play a wrong hand like let's say I just did it in the final, yeah, don't just think that I won so I did everything perfectly because it's not the right way to think if you want to make money in the long term like you.

You have to be very hard on yourself and analyze your game and look for your flaws and, you know, ignore the things that you do well, not ignore them, but recognize them, but don't think about them too much and don't think about bad luck just look to improve everything time be very tough talk to other people about it and play as much as you can one two three yes, very good, you really are the best
