pokerstars

ept from here in

barcelona

and at this record breaking

event

we lost a bit of material, this is where we pick things up, things are going to be a little hectic from now on for a while, at least until things right themselves. are you watching the ept this hand took place it looks like we are listening and seeing the number of the hand it is not clear how can we call you how can we call you we are back on the air there was a lightning strike here at the arts hotel casino next to the

table

way joe to nicholas walsh okay hello hello and there was yes, jimmy Guerrero won a big pot at the time we were down, a little jimmy celebration, you're going to have to bear with us while we get things back on track here, yes you. we lost a hand we lost a hand in which giuliano doubles on the flop excuse me for a recap of the action there are still four players who haven't missed that ace 10 in the small blind for kovalsky we may not have all the information we normally have Things are progressing here, yeah, we're going to have to try to follow it as best we can guys, obviously a pretty significant reboot lost some systems, but we're trying to get back to normal as quickly as possible, as you can see Bendinelli. at 10 million in chips, I think when we left Bendinelli he had less than that, we missed a pot where Ben Nelly picked up about 1.8 million, as you can see some things haven't changed, I mean, if anything, It gave me the opportunity to go. to the bar Joe, that's right, things here are pretty scary, as I understand it, we were in the basement, we didn't see, feel or hear anything but loud again in this hotel room, he said the whole building was shaking, that it's the only way.

You lower the ebt so we haven't missed anything. We're picking up exactly where we left off. This is before the storm passed. Very good, what a good job, team, pocket of kings for Kowalski. Now not before the storm passed for us, but. before the storm happened for them 30 minutes in the future right or in the past I should say I still haven't figured out this flux capacitor that Kovalsky makes it a million 88 miles per hour it would have been cool if this was pocket eights for Costa, unfortunately only 86 miles per hour so we don't see anything serious, I don't know if you mentioned this already, but that sign for Jimmy is so sad it's like everyone is excited and writes to Jimmy and then says, Oh yeah. like they went out and bought crayons and highlighters and said oh okay, okay, let's write her name, yeah, okay, it reminds me of the kind of thing I do to my girlfriend for our anniversary at the last minute.

In the car, look, honey, I gave you a gift Powalski Jack Eight, I brought under the gun. I was going to buy you a diamond, but I thought you knew anyone could buy a diamond. I would make something really nice for you. Yes, custom pendant, only 10 9 off the suit. on the button so when we get to the point where the storm happened in the past future I'll just say it right, I don't know what's going to happen, all I know is that it's happening right now, Kovalsky is raising eight of diamonds under the gun well patrick this is the new sunday storm brilliant stuff good job so he's in the sb here he's only got about 13 big blinds he's up against a utg open hero but we don't forget guys In fact, there are only four of us, so utg.

Is it more or less kidnapping? Someone in the chat asks where Yarosh is. We have to have Yarosh or the cut. I mean, he left, but we cut it. Guys, sorry, no, the kidnapping. Kowalski picks this one up. the gun, as everyone says, but what it really means is first, yes, first, first to act, first to act and in this case, when you have four hands, that is the limit, technically it can be both, it is worth reiterating that Julen Giuliano Bendinelli, that lane there cheering him on, his mother present was hit by a big plague at one point during this

final

table

and as you can see right now, he has more than one big blind, yeah, a big turn from just the big that I had. what he needed was a chip and a chair right now he has both and he has chips warrior in the small blind queen four will look like a flat oh nevermind he raises to 1.7 million so only the big blind acts behind him here, how do you feel mr kovalsky, yes it looks like a call so this is a pre-flop raise and a call and let's flop jack for trey two diamonds gut shot for kovalsky a pair of forest for warrior kovalsky doesn't know but this is a gut shot and two top cards, so six of the seven will also give you the best hand on the turn, yes, considerably more equity when you think about things like that and consider how your opponent will connect and Jimmy Guerrero 28 . million in a stack you will be able to see the stack sizes of the players right below their cute little pictures this is on delay fetapol asking on Twitch this is usually there is a 30 minute delay this is like a 90 minute delay on this one moment this is what happened before we took a break before lightning struck the hotel things got a little weird yeah they did the king on the turn it doesn't hit anyone friendly fire ass can lightning open up risks in the space-time continuum in some sense has it hit him? the clock tower at the stroke of midnight save the clock tower 1955. james hardigan said the show must go on only an act of god will stop this production and sure enough the building was hit by another king of lightning river so a pair of fours will be good in the matchup, there you go, Kearney, you got it, there were hands before the lightning that hadn't been televised, that's exactly it, that's what we're seeing right now.

I feel like Kavalski, if he had a jack, he would probably go ahead and bet with confidence. turn versus warrior's check, so with this run out, warrior should feel a little like he has the better hand, yet he might even put a little in a blocking bet situation, there's 6.3 out there and sure enough, very blocked. the battery size of your blocker, I mean, it seems like a big bet in a vacuum, 1.4 million, but relative to the pot size, yeah, the size of the blocker is very, very blocker, the first time I have more place from the beginning and he lets it go well played now, great question. here from baba on youtube who says when playback resumes so the way we have timed things is such that by the time we reach the 30 minutes we had already built up in the delay the playback will have already started so we are just going. to pick it up almost seamlessly, so that by the time we went on air, playback would have resumed in real life, so within 30 minutes we will get these things that had just happened, the things that we had missed, the things I had missed to the new stuff after the break, yes it's a little confusing but I'm confident that the squad of people who thought of this in the first place knew what they were doing enough to get us back up and running , nothing is like that.

I'm going to stop what will probably go down in history is the biggest, dumbest, most interesting ept ever, that Cracker Jack squad, yeah, I mean, it really has, it has something for everyone, Joe, so much drama here, okay, this is now. this is a mistake, okay, kovalsky had seven sixes last time, okay, this time he folds time does not fold on himself costa raising ac to diamonds queen ten of clubs for ben dinelli it is a very nice hand queen 10 of the same suit in the big blind that has some options, I feel like just seeing a flop is great here, especially when you're facing utg, but again, remember guys, utg is just cut, so the cut range would apply in this one situation, so it's a little confusing when I'm looking at the graphs here, this has to be a Back to the Future type situation or I just kissed my mom for no reason.

Bentanelli marks that Costa reached top pair, but now he doesn't have much reason to stay if Costa continues. I had to kiss my mom or I wouldn't have been born It's a story It's all the time Yes, it's a classic time traveler paradox Bendinelli tends to take a moment before we leave, slapping those cards with their patented curvature last minute It's like Ben Dinelli, if that whistle stops, I'll wish for lightning to strike, let's say it stops if it doesn't stop. Who in the chat just said that I missed the afternoon session. What happened to Josh?

Not now. Not now. There are too many things happening. Right now I have a lot on my mind warrior utg aka the cut is going to fold the 64 suited I really like this game shorthanded joe we are going to see a lot more hands much faster this way when there is one less player to decide What is happening and one less player to act? Oh, Ben Dinelli, that's a walk or a walk in the big blind. You're telling me you built a time machine out of a Delorean the way I see it, if I were going to do it. a time machine would do it with some style money are your children four re

main

ing players all now guaranteed over half a million 565. how sweet is that so sweet and if you go up a ladder from here it's another 200k that's a house that's a house 200 000 euros, you know, not in a major city, but you know most places, yeah, somewhere sunny, okay, so the small blind exploited the action from the big blind costa with 910 suited, it will follow forward and limp, which I really like warrior, obviously, our chip daddy 67 big blinds. in this hand he limps into the grafton i think it's grafton approved yeah sure as long as you don't double 10 suited nine you're fine in his book queen trey deuce two hearts there's not much connectivity with these techno flops and martin writing it on twitch using the hashtag

pokerstars

tv with some kind words thanks twitch, very understanding of our glitch youtube, I don't know, I'm still trying to figure out life, we'll get there

event

ually.

Costa checks Guerrero, who will try to slide. this pot and you will be successful, warrior continues to put up 34 million, which is roughly equivalent to 67 big blinds, yes, quite considerable and, I mean, he just got, he has accumulated so many chips at this point that it really forces the other players to do yours. I don't think they want to get involved with Guerrero given his propensity for aggressive play and he has the chips to handle, no one in this tournament can test him because of all the chips he has at the moment, he has everyone covered in a very significant way. nino says 200k is 10 bitcoins, which is more likely than there will be 10 houses in the future.

Oh, this guy is still trying the whole bitcoin thing, huh, I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a bitcoin, but it's weird to say I love a bitcoin. Bendinelli here decides not to. play oh, it's the classic Bendinelli fold, fold it like Ben Dinelli, the old man, two Ben Nelly, button folds could be blindfold action, I go on, we go on, we get to the blinds, be blind, action, Joe, and I say, oh, this, this, this keeps happening, oh. that's right, there are four of us, so a lot is going to happen from now on, more or less, everything is at this point, yes, of course, warrior rose yes, yes, a big increase wow, oh yes, intimidates, intimidates, the The rich get richer, Jimmy Guerrero is.

I'm going to take that boat with no problem while the rest of the world played with the coupe. By the way, that wasn't meant to be an insult. He lives in Pennsylvania. That's what's available there. The coupe will be available from September 4 to 28. 12 championship event cards with coverage on the same channels you're watching right now. Hardigan, Nick Walsh, will broadcast several days a week. The scoop was wonderful. Even better. It's always strange to me. They do the winter online poker championship in September. although yeah anyway the pocket tends to warrior sorry I'm finding out it's the world champion it's the world championship of online poker just the boat just for uh just one and if you're more of the coupe type. of person, i think uh, accidental grenade, aka keith becker, will broadcast some of those events joe, not going to lie, i have never heard his real name before, oh yeah, yeah, i just found out, keith becker, no I think you have been deceived.

Maybe you cut him off for me at least, but you know how you meet so many people through his online contacts these days, yeah, ag, for short, you know he'll always be my ag, I only know my girlfriend through his only fans. handle says we'll see each other someday, she has a lot of things to do right now, she's too busy being a model, stressed, yes, it's time to be a model, there's the current chip count, Ben Dinelli, down in the basement, and if the big blind is 500,000, that means what 14 big blinds are, only about 15. seven trades going to the trash seems pretty reasonable, even if the chip leader you have you gotta have some standards here cavalry with kowalski with a queen of the same suit, two ofhearts on the button, kowalski has to I feel, oh, I would say I feel pretty good once Guerrero folds, but Kowalski doesn't have many more chips than I guess, he has twice as many as Bendinelli, even with Costa, if not I remember wrongly, fortunately I would have been tempted to raise that queen to two. the button in the blinds I'm sure it would be a mistake since Kowalski folded but he would have run into two bigger hands king queen suited I think the queen suit duke is fine on the button but you really want to find the situations in the ones you're significantly stacking those opponents correctly, you want to have them covered for a lot more than the current queen two of hearts setup is actually never ever an opening if you're playing exclusively for gpv there in that deer, but you can make adjustments when other players they have to be stricter for icm absolutely or if you think your opponents in the majors are all in a decision, bendinelli is all in and at risk again, but again he is ahead in a dominance situation, costa visits his rail knowing that statistically will finish. in the basement after this hand and we know that a queen was doubled.

Costa needs to nail a jack for an immediate exit. Do you think there will be any hold on a second one? Ben and Ellie's mom is singing with the Brazilians. Did she change sides? How great Brazilians can be. very charming that's what I like about this train I think we have Italians and Brazilians singing we do it this is fantastic you love watching it I have no idea what it was but it was amazing yeah interrupt that guy at the bar I thought it was some kind of people in check asking for a jack. You already know me.

I like justice. I like to see Bendinelli win the best hand. Pretty stoic. I don't always join in on the reindeer games that happen at this

final

table. Look at this, just Italy and Brazil. mixing as a global poker community here's the clean flop clean flop for bendinelli watch out brother don't take it off a spade also useful for bendinelli the turn is another 10. chances now now doubling aliens had a good amount of skills when there should have been It was ruined , yeah, rivers of five, not a cut, double, Bendinelli, there's the thrill we're looking for, saving it for the clean finish, don't forget, mom, he better be back, we'll assume he did an instant replay or he did . double sweep so bendanelli doubles up and leaves neville costa very short this has been the ultimate tournament for short stacked players to survive yeah okay yeah yeah okay that makes sense.

He says, "Oh, I'm sorry, you're not the type I am." I should be celebrating with my bad a little overwhelmed with emotion yes yes yes we are going to see the people who want to hug me and kiss me well gang, that is the moment when we lost things and now we are recovered, it is exactly 30 minutes. ago where we are supposed to be picked up after the impromptu one hour dinner break we cut the break time we are exactly stuck until the 30 minute delay the hand where it starts to shake doubled it was hand number 95 We missed hand number 96 The short stack tripled on Dark Joe, so now we're going to resume with hand number 97.

We may have a short delay until that happens and of course we apologize for doing so, but again, we'll just do it. I did. saying this is the short stack tournament, we are not going out, yes absolutely, we went in there, everything was dark as a result of the lightning, these three players had hands and Costa was at risk and they had to deal it in the dark. Bentanelli said oh, does that mean you're playing this hand in the dark? Does that mean you're in the dark? look what he did there, I see what he did, I appreciate all the humor in this case because it was a very stressful situation for people other than me who care a lot about what happens with this broadcast and there is nothing I can do to help and the people who got this stream up and running again deserve a damn medal, yes I absolutely agree, now I did it.

I didn't see it all, but from what I could see, no one panicked, no one cried, they just put their heads together and made it work and made us work again. Yes, all things considered, they were back up and running very, very quickly. We're back guys, remember this is hand number 97, just a reminder, the blinds are 250,500,000 with the ante at 500,000 chips, pocket of aces for jimmy Guerrero, the break did him some good, it looks like Maybe I shouldn't say that, let's see what happens. recapping the stacks jimmy Guerrero 67 big blinds fabiano kovalsky 27 big blinds giuliano bendinelli 26 big blinds neville costa 13 big blinds kovalsky jack trey in the suited big blind, so he's going to get some action here, but it doesn't look like a board that will connect with kavowski here and warrior can confidently bet on aces kowalski only one spade only has the backdoor jack high jack i can be the best hand here sometimes i just don't know if he wants to use this combination as a float i think He gets bullied a lot in these situations so I think it's best to just walk away, it's interesting to note that against that range he probably has the best hand with jack i by a significant amount, oh that crazy guy, sorry but sorry.

I'm going to yell crazier, I'd like to re-dock that statement and replace it with ah, well I just went over all the blinds, but there you have it, that's where we currently are. Yarosh came fifth. Now everyone is guaranteed more than half a million euros. By the way, there's only 13 minutes left in this blind level and then things get even more superficial, sick, crazy, even more superficial, right, okay, three in hand for costa, oh, you can feel the change of speed, right , you can feel the pace of the game changing as soon as we do. There are four players, but poker is much more interesting, there are many more all-ins, from short stacks to pushes.

Guerrero calls, they'll be flipping, yeah, I think it's unlikely we'll see a Jack Four call, of course. but you never know if gravolsky calls they'll flip me they'll flip they all had a four i love how that gets more of a reaction than showing aces it's all about the numbers brazilian numbers is a numbers game crazy joe crazy jimmy warrior has been giving it given his Heart and soul, I mean, this is a great ad for Guerrero's yerba mate because if that's what's been fueling him for the last six days, I'll take a case, please, herrera under the gun, queen, two, first act, him. he's going to turn it up he's shifting gears if that's my legacy I'll leave him the poker by the way it's let's get rid of under the gun and shift it to fta first to act yeah that'll be cool that chip on a chair.

Get it, yeah, I get it right, so uh, the queen sees wrong, I mean, this is getting pretty out of line, but like I said, when you're in a situation, you have a lot of short stacks behind you again. They are not very short, but they never cost, of course, in this situation with only 14 grand. Kowalski isn't wasting any time, although he will punish that wider opening. You're going to bet three with king 10 suited here, which makes it a little more. 2.8 I love this size again. You know, when you use this smaller size, we've talked about it.

It has a very similar effect. It looks just as scary as a full 3x in these situations and you save some chips there too. You won't lose as much when people forbid you, but also if you make a smaller c-bet before the flop, you can make a smaller c-bet after the flop because you're always betting relative to size. of the overall pot and that's really cool, I think it's cool, I mean what I love about this is that it doesn't seem to matter anymore who wins the pots that the rail just wants, that's what you see.

I have two queens two kings Did I miss the two queens you'll see on TV? this ept barcelona has defied expectations in many ways total

part

icipation total prize pool caliber of players who made it to the final table how long did it take to get there ten to nine from eight to six from six to four lightning bolt this is the highest frequency of lightning bolts who finish the program that we have seen before this is it as jimmy Guerrero could put it all in from the small blind Guerrero won't do it with deuces he would have broken it so quickly that's why I live it at level one.

I've been like: let's bet some people don't enjoy the way warrior behaves. I don't think he's bothering his tablemates too much, which is kind of my barometer, if they seem annoyed I'll say okay, he's taking it too far, but yeah, they've already put up with this guy for four days, so It can't be that bad, they know what to expect and also, keep in mind. everyone is already a guaranteed half-millionaire, yeah, that reminds me of what you said: there was a debate about whether someone was doing something correctly or not in terms of etiquette and you said I think we should judge people by their intentions, right? ?

I know we prefer to judge the intentions of the people at the table rather than be strict with the rules if it's something minor, and like you say, if everyone else is okay with it, I'm pretty sure it's probably not that bad. . They have very good energy, as long as we talk about the energy and tolerance of the final table players, we want to thank everyone at the final table for their patience, having to pause the action, order the power, as I understand it. They were unfailingly gracious and understanding about the need to get production up and running before the tournament could continue and we apologize and thank them for the fact that this is really about the players and when the players play with us and make Things are going incredibly well and we appreciate it, yes, absolutely on TV, I mean, Jimmy clearly likes being on TV, so we've got something.

I feel like if jimmy wins this, he'll interview himself, he just goes up, pulls the rope and lets it go, the whole reason he launched me into uh. how this quarter is about fighting against expectations because we're about to start another blind level with six minutes left until the blinds go up again, yeah, and also a reminder guys, once we get three hands, those blind levels will have, so we will see even more hands and the blinds will rise twice as fast as before, so actions, action, action stations, action, and a deal may also be coming, yes, potentially, warrior I was hinting at that before, although I was hinting at it when everyone was very similarly stacked in this situation he's still a major chip leader, I don't know if he'll have the same vibe once we get three hands etc. warrior opening queen 10 against bentonelli with the same hand, i mean, it's not the same hand, obviously, but queen. 10 off, Matthew says they should seriously stop the crowd from drinking, why isn't there ace seven six three spades, this is a drab, drab flop and um, with a queen high flush draw, he'll be very excited about it , yeah, I think he probably wants to.

He goes ahead and continues on this or he might double check if he's missed this board completely. of time and of course any spade will give you the second flush benzonelli makes the call very exciting turn card on his way exciting is the flush for bendinelli I can't believe it what a great turn card for bendinelli making the second Nut Flush I can't hold back My excitement at seeing this turn jack, he has to feel very confident in his hand. He loves this monotone board with the high colored queen. Guerrero isn't slowing down, he's really stepping on the accelerator here, he can tell by the tone. from my voice things are really escalating in this hand bendinelli could absolutely change things i'm literally bursting with excitement for what's about to happen going to this river i don't imagine for a second that vandanelli will fold don't sing his beat he calls the river is the seven of diamonds bendinelli with a lock he won't fold let's see if he decides to make a push here to see the value or check it out once again to Guerrero I think Guerrero is going to give up if he scores two, but you never know with Jimmy, yeah , I mean you don't want to overdo it here, you could still run into the king of spades, I mean, career could totally tip at this point, honestly, um ben dele has a little more. pot behind, so you know, if I really wanted to test him, I could just send him in his face here and it would be very difficult to call him, he's not holding back Joe, oh boy, oh my days, I was wrong, I was completely wrong.

Oh wait, either way, I'm wrong, classic, he checks it, yeah, okay, nice check, Bendinelli is going to show the spade and pick up a nice pot that will put Bendinelli in second place in chips, remember Ben Dinelli he kept a big one. blind when we were six players now he has 30 of them neville costa is still the shortest stack you can see Bendinelli's mom's smile from here out of focus in the distance smile that you can see from home oh yes, honestly incredible and we have had so many stories like that, so many people just survived warrior being one of them, in

part

icular, I thinkIt's safe to say that Bandannelli is in a very similar scenario and now wins a lot of all-ins and survives, that's the name of the game, survival, look at that trophy, not me.

I don't know if I fold or not if you're going to vote a six of hearts for Kavalski it seems reasonable makes it a million that's the minimum ace king suited great slippery energy for giuliano bendinelli well then we have like 26 effective big blinds here something so so you probably want to risk this, not everything, but maybe you adjusted the strategy because we're at a final table, maybe I'm not playing these spots, I wouldn't be playing these spots if it was a time bank countdown , well I don't see there being many time banks left against Ben Dinelli, it was the last one could be the last one unless they are hiding behind their chips, I thought for a second they were going to ruin his hand. itself, don't waste time, it's all in kavalski will act after the big blind costa folds the deuces there is no problem kovalsky now a decision for his life in the tournament a6 suited looks at his stack if the passing behavior is indicative of future behavior this is going to be a fold, I think it's quite reasonable to assume that I don't think he wants to take a risk with asics and puts it on the wing, he doesn't take a risk with a6 wisely folds, although if he had called three sixes would have come up, Bendinelli probably picks up a few more chips still around 30 big blinds and triggers another exactly the same song from the rail.

Alright, let's bring in James Hardigan, maybe he can understand what's going on. this railing they seem happy, what can I say? And with everything we've been through with the pause in play last night and the return this afternoon, the unfortunate interruption caused by the storm, the fact that everyone's spirits are still so high is a testament to this final table. and everyone has come out to criticize it today, it didn't really take anyone's wind out of the woods at all for us to go down for an hour and deal with mother nature, yeah, and obviously Joe, I heard you say that we want to extend our thanks to the players, I think everyone, including all the viewers, who also had to endure a long break, obviously not a great situation when you're running a huge production that involves cameras powering up numerous computer servers and everything just works. and yes there are backups in place but you don't expect the building you are in to be struck by lightning and have power outages, power surges, no you certainly don't so now we are at level 37 The blinds have risen to 300,600,000.

With the 600k big blind ante we have Guerrero with the chip leader Bendinelli, as you can see the boys are now in second place, Kavowski with 20 big and Neville Costa is in the lead. danger zone with eleven bag changes and, uh, jane windsor commented on twitch that this could be the best chip and a saddle come back ever hold your horses jimmy warrior still has the hanging lead chip just he hasn't won this yet think about players like peter dekova in monte carlo michael martin in london who came back from worse things than a single big blind to win an ept james you have to remember when someone ever says what they really mean is now refers to this week yes, refers to today yes everything has to be superlative the best of all time the best the worst the ugliest the coolest is everything Click bait, yes, by the way, when everything went well for the better part of an hour, my Favorite question I saw was from a concerned spectator saying, "Maria ho, it's okay, it doesn't matter how this tournament is going to play out, it doesn't matter how much the million dollars is worth." The team that may have been messed up is Maria Ho, okay, so let's ask the question, get an answer Maria, are you okay?

I'm alive and well and excited about this final four, three, four, it's still four players, Maria, but that's a valid comment, how? Should we continue with four players? I mean, okay, Guerrero has a playable 55 big blind stack, everyone else is pretty safe. Yeah, I mean, a lot of players managed to find doubles when they were short, some players doubled up more than once and now again we're talking about the stacks getting shallower and shallower and you don't know much differentiation between having the chip lead right now and being second in chips as we see the position that Delhi's Ben is in, yes, and Guerrero is still in charge at the moment and looking down on Ace Deuce. the button holding the small blind bendinelli in the big blind with queens only queens yes, that's an appropriate answer 18 million 18 million maybe 80 million less than 17.2 yes, Americans, yes, yes, a little stance, sorry What was I going to say this, warrior yeah, this has to be hey, maybe I just want Ben Dinelli not to feel like hey, you know, if I'm opening on the button as the chip leader, you don't, you can't just push and I'm not going to have a decision one of these times I want you to sweat a little and fight oh the Italians get kicked out again I think we can all agree that you get bonus points if you do anything other than the military of seven nations, I mean, it's Seven Nation Army has to be the catchiest jingle of all time, even though it's like the most famous book of all time, yeah, absolutely, even though it's annoying, I mean, you can't watch a live sporting event without having to listen to a dirge from the stands.

While people are trying to sing something, yeah, you've got my number, hey, you've got my number, Jimmy Guerrero here for the glory, well, I don't think he'll fold if someone answers him by opening with four hands and with ace and queen. 1.35 million once Bendinelli came in the king of the small blind with 10 off, yeah I think normally for chips you would see people calling from this mafia line, maybe you know how to find a bet triple, but of course in this icm heavy situation you will probably fold especially. with costa in the big blind with only nine figs oh and this could be an option for costa shorter with less than 10 big blinds small pair warrior and we're off to the races we're going to flip that coin and this is a race that neville costa needs win or we are three good one was ready now he was ready he was ready man he was ready yes, costa will have a payday of 565,000 euros if he loses this race it will be doubled he is still in contention for the first prize of 1.7 million out of five He still has a lot of worry and his eyesight is hard.

Guerrero has been running quite well in fact he has no additional outs for Guerrero on turn five he holds Neville Costa doubles to the delight of his Rail Kosta now with 22 big blinds he is no longer the shortest stack and the thing is that as much as the other players at the table want to see an elimination, everyone at some point was all in and lucky to stay alive or they want to turn around. So it's like you know, let's just skip over the doubling of fortune for a moment because they can't really be that upset that they were once in a bad position and it managed to stay so definitively in their minds, so they probably can't believe. that this is still going on for so long with these stats i mean look how bunched up warrior 40 picks are now as chip leader bendinelli 31 costa 21 18. and again i don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that they could look at saving a little bit and look at the prize money, but there doesn't seem to be much appetite for it, yeah, I mean, I think we've already talked about how Warrior alluded to maybe discussing it at some point and didn't really get much of a response from anyone else, but it is not surprising to see that Guerrero does not mention the topic again.

It's surprising to see none of the other players start to open that conversation at this point, who just got the double through Guerrero. the small one with king nine completes it and warrior can see a free flop with 5'4 and chooses to do it queen queen nine coast well ahead he may have done a disservice there warrior has less than one percent I don't know what's in that glass, but I would like a warrior to double check with that high five, so it looks like Costa will now find an advantage trying to get some value, but for some protection and also deny equity, oh you blessed me, brother, you know?

It's hard to be fooled, okay, let's relive the moment when Costa got those double sunglasses to slide down effortlessly, there's a lot of excitement putting his hands on his head, you know, excited again and again, when I arrive to a big final table, I would. I love having some Brazilians around me, yeah, I mean, it's great to see that area is so packed that so many people have come out to see us. I think I saw Davidi Katai in the background, we have a former Ept champion on the barrier. Watching this now, yeah, it's hard not to get caught up in that vibe.

You know, this is one of those situations where, even if he didn't know anyone in the finale, he'd just wander over there because it seems like everyone is having something like this. a good moment bendinelli has opened from the bottom with queen jack and fabiana kovalsky deciding whether to get involved in the big blind here with 10-9 offsuit, he gets called and we go heads-up to the flop 3.3 million in the middle of the flop it's jack 10 8 okay this has potential maria yes i definitely mean both players feel like they have a very strong hand on this board ben denelli chooses the pot control option here with that check back i mean kovalsky already thought which was a pretty decent flop option for his holding, but with that check back he's probably even more confident at this point that the tens and eights are going to be good, so we got a bet from Kovalsky on the turn for 1.8 million against 3.3 million, yeah, and when Ben Denali checks back, that flop you certainly know is protecting his check back range and should make calling pretty easy on this turn, of course, you're afraid of some 8x that you might have left reach, but you can't really check back with this type of hand on the flop and the river card didn't appear it's the five of diamonds which hasn't changed the result Bendanelli's pair of jacks is still good yeah, now it's just a question of whether Kowalski thinks he can bet this hand for value and get called worse or if he wants to simply take his showdown value given Bendinelli's action calling the turn bet.

You know, sometimes Ben Denali might have backdoored a flush draw. You know, with an ace x diamonds combination that he chose to check on the flop, but it seems to be based on. Kowalski's size is just a small bet designed to try to get a little value out of the worst and effectively block bendinelli from maybe making a big bet on the river. 700,000 goes cold and doubling early is almost tied with warrior for the chip. Now leading, meanwhile Kovalsky is very much in the danger zone with 10 big blinds. I remembered that before, guys, I didn't make the same mistake twice.

Ben Denelli returned from a big blind. The edge of elimination doesn't look good for Brazilians Costa and Kovalsky the two smallest stacks, I told you, James, you can't really mess with that mom, run well, no you can't, although I would highlight that Kovalsky's mother is also here and now has a stack of sub 10 big blinds, uh, the only thing I was going to say about Rails earlier in Maria is that when Joe and I did those retro EPT broadcasts a couple of years ago during the lockdown during The first seasons of the EPT, this was part of the course, it was very normal to have a lot of people.

There were even tiered seats in the stands for them to watch the final table and there was a lot of excitement, a lot of applause, a lot of cheering and I think two things happened that caused the final table to disappear. The first is parallel events. which meant that the players, instead of watching the final table, they had something else they could play, the other being the live streamed cards because they could sit in their hotel rooms and watch the final table with hull cards and actually , have a more satisfying experience, yes, but I mean. It's so nice to see so many players on a rail for obviously not only the biggest EPT event in history, but obviously during the pandemic we missed that kind of live environment where there's a rail and where people seem worry about the players. take home life changing money, yes, and I think I also look over the years there have been final tables where there have been big rails, it just depends on who the players are and dare I say which side of the world are, I think we have just arrived. "Very, very lucky with this lineup.

The fact that we have two Brazilians and a large Italian contingent supporting Bendinelli Guerrero is very well known in the French poker community. People have come to see this and want to be there in person. Yes , that's how it is". It doesn't hurt that it's a rainy day so there's not much distraction with the beach there when the weather is bad, yeah, and going back to what I was saying about people watching the live stream from the hotel room, now everyone They spent two years looking at things on the Internet. In fact, you can be in a room with other human beings watching real people play poker with real emotions.

Yes, in thatsense, when we look at the railing, it doesn't really feel like we're in the middle of a pandemic yet, so warrior. Still with a slight chip lead at the moment, opening under the gun, Costa is in the big blind with seven fives of clubs picking up a good number of aex-type hands. You know some on the stronger side but some on the weaker side, but either way it's enough to raise with enough to open pots when you have four players and you have the chip lead, ace, queen, top three pair for warrior, I guess the good news for Koster is that he failed on this board by playing warrior flow checks, he fires a continuation.

This is one of the things that has not changed over the years, Maria, it is because my players, the followers, do not know the cards, they do not know what is good and what is bad. The irony is that in that situation you want to call, not fold, but Hey, he wins a pot, so they're going to cheer anyway. No, I know very well about being on the rail and not knowing what to avoid, so I always support a fold, you know, because it can never be bad if they fold, but if they call and the player I'm rooting for didn't want to call , then that must not be good, so for those of you keeping score, this is the 112th hand of the final table, two eliminations so far, somehow still four players. and we start with the action in bendanelli kowalski has folded doubling with deuces on the button just choosing not to open in the warrior big blind end with costa in the small blind you know he's probably going to find some pushes on an open button maybe just deciding that they want to do it save that blind too big for jimmy warrior, that's fine and we still have over an hour left to run at this level.

The blinds will re

main

at 300,600,000 for another 66 minutes suitable for Ben Dinelli. I prefer that he not comply one by one. once the ace eight right for neville costa starts the hand with a stack of 20 big blinds definitely a good enough hand to open, yeah oh but no, I was going to say it's not a good enough hand to call , yes, open to 1.2 million jimmy. warrior says let's play for all he has the rest of the table covered and is all in and the costs are forced to fold the best hand touch the mark of the covers please keep no, guys, don't touch kavalski's blinds, I will I define a protection Joe you are my brother protects you thank you Guerrero has been here before he made the final table in Monte Carlo in 2016 he came third that year Vegan started well, this is hand 114 Yes, it will be difficult for Costa to open too much with Guerrero right behind him to his left and so you see him just let go of that queen position jack raised to 1.3 million warrior on the button with king six suited fabiano kovalsky in the small blind when it's in one of his cards the eight of clubs kavowski cashed four ept barcelona main events 2016 2018 2019 and this year, how big will the cash be in 2022?

That's a re-raise Maria, he has four bets two, sorry, three bets at four million and he three, better then he has ten, yes, his three bets are designed exactly for this. situation where ben dinelli wakes up with one hand behind him and maybe bendinelli and warrior take it all, then kowalski can still fold and wait for the latter and certainly bendinelli makes an interesting bet, although there is ben's four bet dinelli, so kavalski's hand is eight. he has snowman's num num but he is dominated by bendanelli's tens better warrior stance he will fold the question is will kavalsky go for it yeah i mean kovalsky has to call after putting those chips in it's only if warrior pushed about ben denelli's four bet that kowalski could fold, but here in this situation kowalski has called everything, well, battle of the mommy rails, anyone chose from the moment we reach the last three players, bendinelli now He's almost a nine-to-one favorite to eliminate Fabiano Cavalski by just eight. on the river he saves kovalsky from elimination it's a five on the river bendinelli takes the pot and fabiano kovalsky is eliminated in fourth place one of the brazilians has left and is collecting 565,280 euros he has more than a million dollars in caches live has over five million dollars in online winnings and just added over half a million euros to that resume bendinelli just took the lead in maria chips, yeah, and he's incredibly excited about it, probably the most excited he's ever been. we have seen in all the tournaments.

So we were left with three and Giuliano, oh wow, his mother went to the bathroom during that memory or she missed it, no, she's coming back and she said, Where is my son? That guy who was celebrating with the Italians took it out, that guy is there. now the leader in chips 10 million well there goes maria in the battle of the moms is the mother who stayed on the railing right the one who didn't go to the bathroom the one who comes out victorious where was the hug for ben dinelli's mom after winning that guy right from the second time, the second time he blanked her, I mean wow, I'm already syncing her just because she's winning 700k poker community mom no, it's people looking on the internet mom no, my hair is fine mom leave him alone he probably made her lunch and everything and that's how he treats her so maria there have been two italian ept main event winners i don't expect them to be named but do you know how long it's been since italy won a trophy of the ept?

Well, first of all, thank you for I don't expect you to name them and I guess it will be nine years, close to eight years, so the first Italian winner was Salvatore Bonavena in Prague in 2008, the second was Antonio Buenano in Monte Carlo in 2014, so Juliano Bendalini seeks to become the third and the first. in eight years and, of course, he will have done it in incredible style. I mean, this assumes he wins because at one point he was in a big blind and not many players have come back like that. Wow 72 James, can you explain? the blinds now this is not intended to be a joking response the blinds are three hundred thousand six hundred thousand the big blind also posts the ante of six hundred thousand on behalf of the entire table that answers your question sir it's close it's close I mean it's close, I got the cement as before, eh, foreigner, the question may have been related to the duration of the blind levels maria, now that we are three players, we will play the rest of this level, there are 55 minutes on the clock, but after the next break , when we return, the levels will be reduced to 45 minutes each.

Now we are three players. Yes, these players will be able to enjoy the benefits of having the slow structure for a while longer and obviously again, you know, even with three players. The minutes level is still very long because there are fewer players at the table and you will have more hands in that amount of time, so Costa has managed to accumulate up to around 18 grand. He's opening here with the seven warrior king sitting in second place. Now with 43 grand he folds from the small blind and Bendinelli, who barely reaches 50 grand, is the chip leader. There is a 10-7 dominated hand, so queen nine and six on the flop, king height is still the best hand, I have to say just by looking at some. from the comments on youtube and twitch I really don't understand the hate some people have for jimmy Guerrero and these are possibly the same people who would complain yeah if we had a table of robots that didn't say anything right Guerrero says that wanna. make the table fun and I want the table to be quiet I think you want entertainment and he's having fun and I don't have a problem with that yeah and I feel like James you've definitely seen a lot of final tables there's a very clear line that hasn't been drawn yet crusader or not even close to warrior, we've seen people step out of line to a point where it's disrespectful or a distraction to the other players at the table and this isn't even close to that, oh yeah I get it when people look at players like and I'm just thinking of a couple of specific examples of William Kassouf and Martin Cabrell.

I get that people have a problem with his gimmick and maybe they can take it too far, but anything that's like oh god, I'm I'm going to use the word joke, it's all good for the game, you know, people on the internet always find something to complain about, well that king in the river closes the deal for Costa, yeah, and Ben Denali tried to try it on the turn once. the flop was check check, but now maybe I feel that that river is going to favor Costa a little, maybe he's afraid to look for a second barrel, so the value on the river is 3.8 and look, I admire Bendanelli for trying it on the turn, but the white flag was withdrawn. cards one at a time, next hand, next time, yeah, you still don't have a pair, you missed your gut shot, time for the Brazilians to celebrate, I mean, it was a virtual Costco all-in on the river and now has 25. big blinds you played now live and the glasses are on for warrior on the button fair point that a couple of people have made by the way strong observation, of course, when we look at the results of the ept we must also consider 2017, the ept was There was officially a hiatus that year, but those events have since been reconfigured, so yes, Raphael Sorrentino, who won Monte Carlo in 2017, does indeed count as an Italian main event champion, that was the last Italian victory and Bendinelli is looking to be the fourth, not the third.

Wow, so Ben. dinelli calls in the small blind with king eight koster checks his call in the big blind with king eight king high looks pretty good to have some showdown value in a no-raise pot, you keep waving that flag even more when the table is evenly matched in the turn. He's gone to check to check on every street so far, James, you know, Joe traumatizes me when I want someone to bet the value of the matchup here just so I don't have to sing, not Joe. I'm so glad you guys are here, like me. I said before my voice is not ready to sing yet so joe do your thing this hand ends in a cut and you know what everyone says love no it's not very good Maria well done thank you very good no it's not that there is a lot of pressure with him stirrup sitting right next to me and giving me a dirty look before I even started.

I'm glad it's done and dusted now. You didn't take out any sections or add any additional notes. It's one of your best performances. You know it's a lot. easier she tries to carry it like the national anthem she's like she has a little vibrato there too stinky 25 i love that mary's redemption arc is finally complete i can't please everyone clearly oh i can never be pleased ben dinelli ha open at 1.2 million joe Can you believe he is now the chip leader? Although I imagine he may not hold that position, I think this is going to get quite complicated with the blinds and stacks, since it doesn't surprise me at all. period, every combination and permutation of first second and third fourth fifth sixth has run its course over the last 24 hours it's almost literally pandemonium it's like one of those marble races we do you didn't know me and james would make a little comment in marbles yes actually james 2 294 balls in this marble race that's a lot of balls maria actually gives poker strategy comments i can't say the same about the others guess what you'll say about anyone you banned i was wondering If this was headed for another shot, but not Guerrero matching his nine on the river, yeah, the universe knows I'm not going to be able to beat that one, so they won't do it to me in this hand, but Guerrero won't look for value, he'll just show it. . below that will reduce the gap between bendinelli and Guerrero in fact Guerrero has regained the chip lead he has a slight advantage over Bendinelli but guess what the next player is close by the way we will get 734 470 euros now we are down to three and that is because recently we lost kavalski one fabiano kavowski was eliminated in third place and all the energy everything i'm sure i'm very happy that my mom is here it's her first time out of brazil it's just a this is the first day of the vacation and i mean it's very special for me to be here and with her and she she went through a lot of things in life and being here is incredible I mean I did what I had to do at every moment I think I wouldn't I wouldn't change anything.

Oh, and there's Fabiana Kovalsky with her mother Lydia, who came out of the bathroom to discover that her son had been eliminated but was more than half a million euros richer. Oh, and Kowalski was never afraid to not show her emotions. No, and that. she's a very proud mom um guys you'll notice they're not dealing cards right now the clock has stopped and it looks like the players want to see the numbers it looks like we've finally reached the point where deal negotiations are in the works coming out pretty even between Guerrero and Bendinelli Costa, the shortest stack at 24 grand 14.8 million and assuming all players are up for it, you might see Toby Stone appear with his trusty laptop and we'll see what redistribution of the cash prize.

It might seem that, with the understanding that there will be a reserve that they will sell to play for part of the prize money and trophy, well, it is possibleespecially being the shortest stack and, uh, Bendanelli has me so covered that this could hurt, oh, this is pretty much the worst setup possible, it has backdoor suits, but of course, unless we see a cut card, the lady is going to play very, very. frequently she checks Costa's king 10 with a ten of clubs, I mean this is such a strange place now I think I checked the king ten too.

I'm struggling to figure out what kind of hand you actually get value from there. on the flop, especially given the more passive type of action leading up to it and then check on the flop first to act and then they might think okay, now I have to start trying, but at least on the turn I could have a jack at least on the turn I could have a straight draw now, at least on the turn I could have, you know, maybe a straight draw with a club blocker or something like that pretty hefty bet that came from Bendinelli, there's no many reasons for Costa to do more than equalize, yes. totally agree and the five of clubs on the river now so king queen is still the best hand i mean costa could have decided to turn a flush draw into a semi bluff on the king 3-3 flop so bendanelli could realize that you're going to have a value bet here or at least a bet that you might consider folding on a raise or something, I'm not too sure, yeah I think the way it's played you can get good value with quite a bit security here, wow, it's more of a blocker, but it actually goes.

Really small, 600,000, which is the absolute minimum. A big blind on a sizable number was 3.8. wow he's going to do a raise yeah I like it I mean this could cost you I think Ben and Ellie need to realize although if you're going to wear that size small they'll bluff you up too so he'll probably I imagine I'll like that decision here, yes, but I also feel like that size makes Costa feel like Ben Dinelli could have Jackson Threes in his place and it almost feels like a very good place to increase value, plus it makes a call, yeah, kicked out and he's really crippled wow, that little bet actually induced a raise and paid him the cost and now it's down to nine grand now no now no warrior don't rub salt in the wound now buddy, well there you go bendinelli 61 big blinds warrior 41 big blinds costa sub 10 big blinds and those blinds raise again in 20 minutes 5.6 behind, that was a really strange spot because it feels like costa's hand was too good to turn into a bluff, so it felt like it was going up for value almost because at that size, yeah, because you have to feel like you're beating a lot of king x kickers, you know, especially against that best size, so whether they had king x or jackson three in there , it's like king 10 is pretty high there, I mean. and don't forget that of course with the jack on board you're going to be cutting against a bunch of other x kings too, so it's not even a place where you're going to say, yeah, cool, I can. one up oh yeah cool maybe just got a weak king yeah definitely interesting line sure oh just walk to another spot perfect for pushing though nine big blinds in the small blind the easiest push of all time, he's all in, oh, he might flip.

He stops this stack, even though he makes a call, is it the call? I think so. Sorry I was wrong. It hasn't paid nine big blinds yet, but when you've invested you know it's two big, yeah, and the effective push is for nine, it's a nice good price bendanelli potentially for third place as paella versus croquettes one of these two things has a slight mathematical advantage I'll fight someone over a croquette people go crazy for paella so it's a race of nines against queen jack nines looking good ten outs for ben Dinelli, however, the queen and the nines are almost destroyed. 95 chances that Costa has 100 chances.

Costa will have to settle for third place money. Bendinelli will hopefully offer you some words of support and none that say you should have taken the deal. Good luck with your time showing signs. of life, don't forget this guy had a big blind when we were six players, all it takes is a chip and a chair is a phrase that came to me for a reason and stood the test of time for a reason. It happens often enough to keep the dream alive. Okay, but that's the third time he hasn't recognized his mom on the rail after winning a big pod and I need him even more. reason to thank him, right, he was born into this life guys, we just had so many great stories to follow here in Barcelona this year, like breaking news, I'm so sorry, nick, breaking news, there's a break now, it's Well, a break for you. a little yes, but do you want to see the numbers?

Yes, okay, you can check the numbers. Didn't you hear that I'm rich? But I play like you know we can see the numbers, but then no, don't ask me for 1k. rather, if we remembered, we'll take you back, you have a 20 minute break, yes, so they want the deal negotiation to happen on camera that way, everything is on the rise, they want them to take the break first , yes, but I tell you not to ask for more, there is no money, I don't give more, brother, I don't really depend on that, it seems fair, okay, you heard the lady, the deal will be done first, the negotiation of the deal may have place when we return. but it's going to happen on camera neville costa third 734,000 euros deal or no deal that's fantastic we're finally face to face here in the main event of the biggest ept of all time jimmy Guerrero versus giuliano bendinelli let's take a break 20 minutes to get ready for heads-up, but when we get back we'll finally crown a champion in the craziest main event I've ever seen after this okay and the tease makes it five hundred thousand he's the chip leader nines in hand. because warrior warrior was almost out, what a change to stay alive now there's around 30 grand to start the hand against an opening from the chip leader, yes it's safe to say the nines will probably be ahead but again you just don't want to stay yourself. in a situation where they somehow cool you down and eliminate you in seventh place, yes you are absolutely right Joe, that was exactly what I was going to say, he is right in the middle of the pack which means he feels that runs greater risk against the chip. leader and there are still three stacks that are smaller than his, although I have to say that the two stacks directly below his has 29 big blinds currently and then his 26 blinds 26 blinds moves all in throws caution to the wind decides to take a stand against taunt kowalski asking for a count ace king suited oh wow kovalsky is covered by warrior what a crazy situation to be in right now knowing you could be flipping for your life in the tournament you could be behind unlikely but possible yeah I don't think there is no chance that Kovalsky can retire.

It is not the shortest stack but it is the second and this is an interesting situation because both Kowalski and Guerrero have run very well when they are all in their tournaments, facing each other. I don't know who will emerge victorious. absolutely wow, great moment, you can see some signs of stress here, yes, it's levalsky, all in, there's still the big blind to check, ok, ben and ellie just double the big blind, there goes the tease and this time we're flipping Kowalski at risk one. of these two things has a slight mathematical advantage the brazilian rails were already standing but if they could stand more they would jimmy's girlfriend and fellow professional poker player should say looking forward to tea winning honestly I don't know, these two guys They've survived all the all-ins, obviously, or they wouldn't be here.

Big flip for hundreds of thousands in equity. Clean flop for nines. Kowalski needs to hit to survive and loses the first card of the turn if the nines hold. we finish for the night the river is the king we play in wow kowalski is the miraculous king of the river and the crowd goes crazy joe the brazilian lane does what he does best filling this room with energy warrior finally misses a turn and that's it he's gone with three big blinds kevolsky almost overwhelmed with emotion wow what a time you are here on this huge stage joe and that river is just huge devastated warrior came in dramatic fashion it was a 50 50. remember it felt like a miraculous river 50 50 before the flop poor jimmy warrior let's focus on the positive kovalsky his reaction to the king this guy has been running so well in this tournament joe should have been broke last night he got it in deuces against kings or close to it t wins reaction when she sees the king looks at jimmy knows what's really important he kisses his partner on the cheeks hey, we're still a thing, but still, this is poker like money or love, one of these, that's right, that's right, we both know what you earn. in the end joe what wins the tea wow the atmosphere here is incredible ladies and gentlemen it was an incredible turn of cards for kavalski this guy is running like omega hot this tournament jimmy warrior it's hard not to feel who was going to end up on the wrong side of that coin, flip one more time for Kavalski and his lane, the joy, wow, absolute scenes, Jimmy McGregor, we now have three big blinds guys, so he's going to have to turn that and it's actually on Jimmy A7, it could be worse.

It would be a worse hand to enter with the big blinds. I will be almost forced to call Yarosh with 750. Kowalski asks for a count. He has an ace on the button. For the love of Guerrero, we can hope that he's maybe shorter than a seven that Kevalsky makes. the call bendinelli in the big blind excuse me ben and ellie in the small blind fold pinto in the big blind is also going to call so warrior with the possibility of tripling the action will remain on the side between kovalsky and pinto 2.5 right, we know that pinto has a jack, okay, both players advance this hand with one eye open, more or less warrior could more than triple here a seven is not a terrible card to have in this place 10-8-6 a visceral shot for warrior pinto everything moves in kowalski folds pinto shows jack eight for a pair of eights warrior is in big trouble a shot to the stomach or an ace or sevens running all the players at this table participate to make this one of the most fun tables and vibrant, okay, the dealer is ready to pinto, the ace of spades ready to warrior on the turn warrior takes the lead 10 in the river warrior survives one game still in the tournament has not yet lost an all-in but is a wildcard shortstack pro two m guys 2am sorry what are you saying repeat 3am we're not playing until 3am it doesn't matter what I'm playing so we'll be done after this level I'm pretty sure but I love the spirit I think who will put all this in 13 suited big blinds, you hate doing it under gun but you might not see a better hand than this for a while warrior all-in will check the ace jack to yarrow is not checking might be looking for a bit of revenge he makes the call only the call still players to act behind this wouldn't be the first time someone wakes up with an absolute monster queen 10 isn't it queen 8 isn't it king three isn't it six four isn't it warrior in the line once again a situation of tournament domination a quarter? million euros for warrior if the ace jack holds if not, we continue playing to quote rounders warrior has alligator blood reduced to three big blinds he gets it for 10 here is a big dog I see an interesting ace of spades jack still in front only one sword willie has chances for joe now the table matches warrior with an immediate lead it's warrior won't cut it the kids have crocodile blood joe nick this hand ends in a cut and you know what they say everyone loves we won't play until At 5 a.m. . m.

You can, although if you want, he can play until 5 a.m. m., he will probably survive all hands until 5 a.m. m., but we'll play another 55 minutes and that's it, 25 minutes left in the level or one hand, who knows, Jimmy folds eight. Deuce Yarosh Pocket starts the hand with 35 big blinds, too much for an all-in, but he could certainly call on the button, is what I was going to say, wow, yeah, he's playing slow here in ace position, queen sitting, one very, very, very playable hand position. You see what Joe is doing here and you've identified him, he doesn't want to go too crazy pre-flop here oh pinto uh-oh shield oh boy protect pinto with the worst of these three hands it's only 250k for Although he calls, oh Joe, I feel like he wants to squeeze this out.

He looks like he's measuring more and all in one, two, three, he carries the one. A squared plus b squared equals c squared a equals mt squared 20 days mid November April June and November high is 3.1472 just to call, okay, we're going three ways to this flop. four is slightly ahead for now king six three all miss so four is ahead now kevolsky likes to take his turns in the rivers, although pinto passes, garrosh passes to kowalski. position, he just pretends those spades are clubs if you want Kowalski checks and the turn is another king, so four is very good, could be faked for a six, oh dear, but pinto will tryThere's no shame in it, it's very strange, shuffling, shuffling the deck because, uh, there's no shame in following, you know, there's no shame in it, yeah, yeah, I know he's, yeah, can I get a change of dealer Are there good dealers in the house?

No shame, yeah, I know it's okay, okay, so guys, the next hand is 136. Currently, Vandanelli is still the top leader with around 67 big blinds and Jimmy Guerrero with 44. The small one is 300,000 big 600 000 with a 600 000 there's still a lot of game left if you want to I mean, I told you there's no shame in fentanyl calls with four three for example, I know you don't care but I don't want to fall and You're ashamed if you got a 5 five three, you can, you can play eight five eight in the higher range. I had seven, those, uh, eight, two, three, eight, nine, zero three, every time, okay, definitely, in the short amount of hands that played heads up.

It feels like Ben Dinelli may be doubling too much against Guerrero's raises. You know, you can find many more weak calls in this stack deck. I'm the more passive of the two so far from the 7, six of hearts button. warrior in the big blind who says I can't call and makes 2.1 million to call yeah I like the fluff call here although queen nine is definitely a hand you don't want to have, I don't really want to fold and I think the best way hitting the flop is usually lim call, the raise is probably fine, it could be a 50 50 split between a raise or a flat bet before a mandatory defense once called, yes, ace 10 10 on the flop and warrior is going to call I bet you know the nice thing about raising with the seven six of hearts is that you can represent this board pretty easily, yes, absolutely, and uh, warrior is obviously showing some experience here using that really small c bet on this ultra texture ultra dry.

The opponent will have a 10 here sometimes, but he is much less likely to have an ace. You're going to accomplish this very often and you can do it for very little money and obviously the less you bet, oh, he's throwing away the time cards. now it's really trying to get under his skin, now psychological warfare ain't no nonsense, it started, yeah, and sure enough, he scores it for that little bet, every time you make one of those really little bets, you're just giving yourself such a big price on your blog, you have to work a small portion of the time to be effective and with that hand bendinelli and warrior really close and chips now warrior really able to close that gap yes, 35 million for bendinelli and thirty million before the Next, and a beautiful photo of the trophy, there was a place in your house where it would reside.

I mean, definitely, on full display, where it will be a piece that everyone will have to talk about immediately upon entering my house. I probably just have to put it front and center, maybe try hanging it in a glass box on the front door, it's even okay, yeah, I like it, I like it, I like it, like an ultra super proof box bullet-proof, laser-protected, that just works like it's outside your front door. forcing it to be a conversation starter, saying oh, what is that? A door knocker, no, that's my adventure made by ept. You need to spend 20k to build a pedestal for it to live in the middle of your living room.

Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, okay. That's right, if Ben Dinelli wins, there will be a life-size bronze statue of Mary holding the trophy in a victorious pose on his yacht, that would be a great piece. Yes, you can challenge anyone and say, "Okay, let's go see." Maria just don't mention the trophy whatever you do she'll make you look at it just don't even mention it pretend it's not there I'll just show replays of the winning hand over and over bendinelli calls with queen two of clubs on the button and warrior queen eight of the same stick, I mean, this guy's lightning frequency is pretty high in this heads-up so far, he's going to hit 2.1 million again and Dinelli evens both players and they hit the warrior queen with the best kicker. check check on the flop and eight on the turn.

A really interesting card gives warrior queens and bendinelli eights, although it results in a backdoor flush draw to accompany his pair of queens. wow check check on the turn and the three of spades on the river, so warrior with the best hand with queens and eights is going to look for some value, makes a quick call and I mean there could be a lot more chips for that pot , so yeah, and Ellie should feel very happy, yeah, she sure lost a little there, I think You can take a lot more brother, yeah, but don't bet, ah, you want to take on Mark with that hand.

Jimmy Guerrero has taken over the chip lead. Hand in hand, okay, I just destroyed it, I'm not completely nervous, okay, can we see the numbers please? Can we see the numbers we are playing? 470k well what are you doing? 30k each of course, I want to change. Did you know that ah, you are, oh, okay, it's too late, bro, you make a really nice signature, it's too late, you made a really good one, yeah, it looks like we're at 400k now, 800k on a big line with 800k and as we mentioned before 45 minutes instead of 90 minutes, now that their heads up will still have a lot of hands in play, yes, but we didn't know that.

Okay, you saw it, take a second. He's right-sizing him now that we're a little deeper, which is exactly what you want to do in face-to-face. When you are around the 25 30 mark, you want to increase as expected. but when you get to 40 effective big lines, you want to have a little bit bigger size, so you're not losing any of that technical specificity, that finesse of this heads-up here so far, the heads-up definitely doesn't start off very well, the more aggressive of the two okay it's a little better nine off the button for ben and ellie 31 was now 32. how much 2 million for seven days you don't go you don't want around 36 effective pigs and Denali definitely can't match with the king nine.

The coach is not my relentless coach in his 1.8 million starts. with eight seven on the button, yeah, I mean, right now the pressure you're putting on it seems to be working correctly, like you're not getting good hands, which of course doesn't help you, but also at other points where It sounds like you know he's I'm not using a conventional race so I think he just thinks he's going to run him over like he's going to isolate his hands like eight years away he sees a limp I think he just thinks he's going to win a chance to win if you hit I told you there was definitely a big momentum shift in this heads-up, okay, Michael Jordan, yeah, Michael Jordan, I mean, I think in terms of the totality of hands that you've played to get here, Bendanelli, I feel like you may have a cold from these. 10 heads up is something you can take with a little more grace, but he came back from a big blind, has to hold five hands heads up and says, I can't believe, it's amazing how quickly they forget they were putting up an Un little clinical here so far, I think he's going to go ahead and lift this one again that size 1.8 that we've seen, yeah, this has to be a defensive queen at six, isn't it great. hand, but when you play heads-up you just can't fold.

You need to play with an extremely high fan percentage to be able to defend yourself often enough, otherwise you'll be exploited, you'll just bleed out too quickly, yeah. and when your opponent has raised so many hands he feels like you have to defend the queen six, if you don't then you will get run over, yes absolutely, it's a bit unfortunate, although he really needs to continue with this six. every time for that same reason, otherwise your opponent could just raise and see about 100 percent, yes, the car distribution in favor of warrior so far and Bendinelli hasn't had easy decisions.

Three of spades on the turn is still the best pair for the best warrior. Ben Denali does it. However, I have the queen of spades, so certainly a little more equity to go with that pair of sixes. Warrior just looking for a sword, it seems like you could pick up on the fact that he could get more value here, yes I think in hand to hand. When playing, you can definitely try to go to various streets with top pair hands, yes, with the 5,5 ranges. 5.5 is the bet, yes, and in heads-up play, the ranges are much wider, so your opponents can have all kinds of extra things here, whereas when you're playing utg versus you know, middle position or something, the ranges will be much tighter and stronger in these situations, it seems like bentonelli makes the call on the river a full brick, the two of clubs, it actually just completes some kind of really awkward straights that you probably haven't yet They have reached the river.

We should go beyond 15 million. Yes. Ben Denali with less marijuana. Back at the river. Warrior trying to figure it out. I'm going with the tin. Yes, if he could go down another street of value, but he decides to do it. look again warrior finding himself in a position of power now 53 million to 15 million bendinelli hasn't been able to do anything heads up until 18 big blinds a deep breath from bendinelli needs to control this heads up match now that seems like a decision, so about 20 effective points here before the flop maybe a little more warrior just resigns himself to slowing down here he goes, okay, I'll hit him, I'll let him live once, okay, we can see. a cheap flop, yes, and certainly with that stack depth, Ben Dinelli could have some traps, you know, some weak problems on the warrior opening and probably a decent line to take, especially considering how often warrior has been opening, yes, I think it's a check-call from 7 4.

Every time you can't fold a pair of faces here in front of a bed, especially when the pots, so small until now, the turn is the jack of diamonds, like this Since the pair of fours for warrior is still good, Bendinelli bet on the flop trying to represent that maybe he had. some of those traps, you know, those big limping aces, will he go for another barrel on the turn? He looks a little nervous, doesn't he? Wow, Guerrero Rivers, two pair, but Ben Dinelli finds himself with some value in the matchup now. I mean, I don't think you really want to turn a four into a bluff here, but we've seen Guerrero take some unconventional lines before Guerrero actually made two pair on the river.

Oh, sorry, excuse me, thank you Mariam, sorry, I was thinking. I was thinking that Bendanelli actually improved his other card, but the two pair on the river will of course look for value. Thanks for correcting me. Possibly Ben and Ellie are thinking: Can I lose all the heads up 10 hands? It is impossible to withdraw, but I do. an exploit drop no, no, no, no, I showed you last time I shot my team the best time of all time and Bendanelli is down to just 15 big blinds, a pretty imposing chip leader here for warrior, brother, I never bluff, yes, I know, I know, I know.

I mean never bluff because you don't need to, it's a good place to be, just have it every time warrior calls the button with king three suited and Bendinelli drops to 15 grand with ace three in the big blind and keeps going. italian any of them want to be your friend because they support me ok another ace for ben dinelli your friend wants to play wants to play with 50. this time in possession you can win the void with that you can't win dante another everything -Wow, I would love to see him trying Turn the tide in this hand-to-hand combat.

Guerrero finding king four in the big blind is not good enough. Hey, it's good to see that the barrier still has a lot of energy. Oh, that's a great shot. Yeah, you know, in heads-up, look at the still psyched up, still excited, uh, if I play for 700k with this card, seven guys on each end, I was so inclined that I can make a good decision, I mean, I don't. do. Remember last time I saw like four four this is my dealer this is my dealer okay guys and the 150th blinds are still 400 thousand 800 thousand with an 800 thousand anti bendinelli chip on it is all this is your new strategy where is he not who is he? an ace talks about a strange streak of cards that has had king four like three hands in a row or was it king four king five king four something like that change the deck change your deck believe me, no I don't show the super huge hands like I'm joking that's what maximum he wants to leave me I don't know I don't know why oh hahaha warrior with queen 10 on the button I think this could be a limp normally if you're going to be gto Yeah it looks like he chose to limp and Bendinelli found another hand to push so in Theory speaking, this is pretty close because eights will be like a jam most of the time, but nines and tens are where you start to mix in some raises, not all. because it has much better playability than its smaller counterparts and it looks like that's what vanilla is going to try to do here wow, really big too, yeah, really big, wow, really, really big, marie is watching me count on my fingers , I didn't even do it.

I didn't even know you could, you could iso that big wow 10 8 6. what a flop warrior flopping top pair but ben dinelli with a pair of nines here also the straight shotstraight still feels good with this flop texture with nines you're going to be so tilted when you see this result such an unfortunate flop for the nines spr is less than two here yeah, little Bendinelli continuation bet I was going to say I think he just puts it in here and now I think I can go down, yeah and you hear Ben Denali say he doesn't think he can fold and he puts in the chips, it seems like if Bendinelli doesn't get better he hits a seven or a nine, absolutely elated at this point to see who is ahead, although I have to fade six outs from Bendinelli.

It has been Guerrero's show for this hand-to-hand combat. Can he close it here and now? The turn is the two of hearts so far, everything is going well for Guerrero Bendinelli, still looking for a seven or a nine, the direct tie arrives. for bendinelli and he's going to double through warrior wow, this guy is walking on water, absolutely walking on water to stay in this tournament now up to 39 big blinds, a full double, getting behind, absolutely crazy right now I mean, you are true, the seven always comes, it was coined here in Barcelona and even years later it is still the same and you see that reaction from giuliano bendinelli, he has had so many moments today, nick where he has felt that emotion of being all in and survive again and again.

After a while, it's exciting to watch, I mean, I hope you thank the dealer for that, a sensational run, but the feeling never gets old, of having it all behind you and just finding the card you need to stay alive, to so they can see the batteries. Now there's 37 million for Guerrero 31 million for Bendinelli they're pretty close uh it's 2.6 25 points we're tied we're tied now you're more I'm not like 40. I bought a good meal yeah yeah I don't have time back but I'm 23 can you can you give me a second to pay? take the boat please I have to knock here you are 30. no, I don't look, I don't look, I don't look like that, the cars are here I don't look, I go and it's that time of the night when warrior starts making his sounds of walk yeah warrior 39 and you 32. thanks for the foreigner i will check your option with queen five alphabet king seven four two hearts on the flop so bendinelli was able to connect and match his four soon warrior comes with queen five and gets a five wow, that's a really interesting float with queen five here, I mean I guess in the loose pot queen high may be the best hand.

No, don't completely hate it, you can definitely turn your hand into a bluff on the back streets too, yeah, sorry, Ben Dennelly obviously has the straight draw to go with his pair now, although it also oh my god, it gets better to stumble five, but the flop flush draw got there, let's see, let's see, another river overvet, you know, that kind of awkward trips, oh, he passes to the four, he's going to laugh, he shows you and show your information, show your end. your ending shows you right now I don't have to show you miami brother you win I think you win I can score will you give me permission to score I can't I don't know what's going to happen tonight but I'm thinking maybe it's okay so give me a hand but I'll make him do it, but I'm okay with you, okay, you'll have a road show queen on the warrior button, it looks like he's going to call Ben Dinelli with 10-3 of diamonds, he's going to check his option queen eight seven two diamonds a flop of Action as Bendinelli hits a flush draw on the flop, but Guerrero with top pair Guerrero bets 1.3 million After Bendinelli checks, Bendinelli calls the flop bet and the turn is the two of spades to give Guerrero two top pairs and lower, yeah, it's a good turn for him to continue here with confidence, you're no longer worried about his opponent catching him with eight seven or something, you can go ahead and shoot here, I think you can do that quite a bit. big too because at this point you're really going to get a ton of value from the straight and flush draws, maybe something like 3 million, probably the minimum you want to get here just because you want to make sure you don't give up the diamonds. or ladder draws are the right price to continue profitably, yes, and the 8x will have to appear.

You can definitely have some of those straight draws or flush draws as a warrior, so it's certainly not a board that even second pair would fold quickly now that it seems. thick, it looks thick to me and I get it oh I'm going for the overbet here 6.5 very very spicy I mean but you'd really like to see some crying calls from a flush draw here wouldn't you? So maybe he's going to put a price on it, ben. Denali doesn't seem to like it at this price and the flush draw is going to the bowl. Guerrero didn't seem very advanced, you know? after having to double Bendinelli with that seven on the river and he's still maintained a good amount of composure, you know, after that hand and still fighting to stay in the chip lead, yeah, he feels very comfortable here and It doesn't seem like that eliminated him at all, you know, I think he knows that and we talked about it. being a bad b, he certainly fell behind, but he had quite considerable value at the right time of opportunity, obviously, he will still get a set, not great, but not exactly two percent, not exactly an out with one card to come scenario ben denelli king four of the same suit on the button raise and take it warrior with around 40 million to bendinelli's 27 million warrior ace two on the button i will raise to 1.8 million oh ben dinelli with the nines another maybe yes, I think it's a pretty easy push with nines here or at least a triple bet not all in seven makes three better 7.8 million it's also a very big size here yeah, warrior looking at it a little might like that ace blocker in his hand, but we really have I haven't seen Ben Dinelli show much strength preflop without a good hand.

Guerrero decides to pass. I mean, certainly, if you feel like you have an advantage over your opponent in a headset match, you don't want to accept a high variance. period, it's not really necessary if you feel like your aggression can slowly weaken them, yes, exactly, and that way you have more control too, isn't it necessary? Hand over the reins to someone who hasn't been particularly aggressive. We also saw a particularly large bed with three beds. Yes, I make a mistake. Maybe I should come in here. I'm sure I made a mistake. That was the end of the tournament. it was the end of the tournament the action continues so now it's ben denali's turn to get the ace deuce warrior with a really nice hand jack 10 suited against a 2 million raise yeah i mean warrior could have too been thinking you guys remember when he limped and ben dinelli iso at that really big size face to face, you might be thinking, okay, when this guy gets big, he actually has some of these stronger combos, he looks like the warrior himself, he It's time to make a triple bet, six and a half million missing, that's more or less. flip flop in the same place ace two off it's very difficult to call three bats honestly like ace two suited obviously you can flop a lot harder but ace two soft just ugh just not a great hand very difficult to play pose flop especially in pots of three bets your chips from the previous hand changes and roundabouts, now we go to hand number one, five, seven of this final table, guys, 157 hands of poker have brought us to this point, yes, and time is starting to run towards a new day here in Barcelona.

It's almost midnight, but these two players are still fighting to become the next European Poker Tour champion in the biggest EPT main event in history. These players made a deal head-to-head. Both guaranteed over 1.25 million playing for approximately 68,000. euros Guerrero flops a set of fives here this is a single raised pot it was raised by Guerrero initially pre-flop and defended by Vandanelli's 10-3 suited 10 seconds looking forward to a little more action but it's still always good to stack up chips see the faces jimmy Guerrero's chip count increases 42 million to Giuliano Bendolini's 26 million, yes that's about 51 big blinds for Guerrero and 32 big blinds for ben dennelly, obviously, those are the big blinds and they're what really matters because you're going to adjust your strategy super drastically. as you start to get shallower and it really becomes a pretty delicate game, trying to evaluate the best pre-flop action and the best post-flop bet sizes based on those effective Bendinelli stack depth calls with a 5'4 suited warrior on the big line. with king queen going to raise ben dinelli calls flap is ace king jack warrior with pair of kings and straight draw not much for bendinelli looks like warrior was reaching well maybe a little fake returns the chips yeah I mean I was about to say it , it's actually a little tricky to know whether or not you want to see that here, since I think with this stack depth you'll still get value out of a jack and a king, so probably at the end of the day, you want to continue, your opponent will be more aggressive with some of these free combos, so they're kind of limited to not having an ace in the deck once they've leveled your pre-flop raise, so I think with a tricky king queen, I think they can move on if they're small enough, they might even take a few hits to the gut on that flop, which probably isn't terrible for their hand. warrior looking back at the railing of him and looking at you guys.

I'm going to understand that they're making more noise than you, come on, yeah, I mean, the numbers on each side of the railing look pretty even, but one railing seems to be significantly louder than the other. Show me a jack wow, that was good I mean. Leave it for Mama Bendinelli, of course, she arrived today. She's been on the rail since the beginning and I mean she must be exhausted, but just running on the adrenaline of seeing her son in this position playing for the title of EPT champion, she had to do it. turn on the family pajamas to get here okay hard life you probably know how to massage during the flight some caviar some domination don't scream uh scream at mom ben dinelli is so cool she could be here for this and i I'm sure she'll be delighted regardless the result, they're still there fighting, there's still a lot of game here if you want it, guys, I mean, say what you want about mama ben nelly, but I feel like she could make a mean pasta, she looks like her.

It seems like she's a good cook, all Italian mothers are, right? I mean, I think she's kind of Italian. Having spent a lot of time in Italy this year, I can actually tell you that food is at the center of most events of any kind. and it's wonderful, yes, definitely, her love language is food, it's mine too. Shoot, oh you know what I don't trust anyone who says oh, you know, I'm kind of like uh, what's the phrase I live by? Oh, sure, I live, you live. eat, yeah, I'm kind of a person who eats to live and you say we're not going to be friends, okay, another pot there goes in Vandanelli's direction, um, guys, I don't know how to tell you this. but we are one minute and 25 seconds away from another increase in the blinds which will increase the excitement even more and while the big blinds go down once again warrior with the 10-3 looks like he is going to raise bendinelli is going to call with the 6'5 from the big blind flop it's ace king five three hearts then warrior with the ten of hearts but ben dinelli five and the six of hearts yeah I think it's definitely worth mentioning here guys we don't play a lot heads up a heads up flush hand is very, very strong, it is not the same as when you play with eight hands, nine hands, ten hands, whatever, because in heads-up you have to play a very wide range on these types of boards if you do a six. -high flush, it will be the best hand much more often than if you were playing in larger multiple pots.

The turn is the nine of clubs. Guerrero bet on the flop and Bendinelli called. Now Bendinelli still passes and passes it to Guerrero. It looks like Guerrero is trying to fake it a little again. Melt puts it in. He's going to bet five million to go on the turn. He's putting a lot of pressure on this hand for Bendinelli. He does pay. It is an uncertain situation. If a heart falls correctly. the flesh will be yes, absolutely true, it seems to retreat abandoned, yes, I can't live with this hand, this is my favorite, no, no, all the water, this is my favorite laugh, bluff, show me how love, I know that this is your favorite ending I can You don't lose you never feel like Psycho really wanted to show but he didn't do well so after that trade it's now down to just 21 big blinds and the blinds are up guys let's take a look , those are the chip counts now at 46 million. to 22 million the blinds have raised the wines are now 500,000 1 million with 1 million chips aunt where is the human calculator when you need it? warrior with a two to one chip lead on ben nelly looking to finish him off there's no rest rest rest rest he'll break I mean it's good Nick because I feel like a lot of people might think I can see if it's my lane luck and the tenth street that after they made adeal, maybe they weren't going to take the heads-up part too.

Seriously, I mean they weren't going to fight for it, but they were definitely deep enough to play some good heads-up poker and I feel like both players haven't really shown that they're going to throw in the towel just because they know. They are going to take home a lot of money, yes, absolutely, they have really taken this very seriously and as Maria pointed out, it's not just the money, it's also the title, which has its own value that is priceless some would say . eight six three all diamonds bendinelli with ace queen also raised pre-flop warrior didn't hit yeah, I think the pre-flop aggressor here doesn't necessarily need to bet, but in this type of texture 10 4 suited practically disappears pretty quickly, they're not There's a lot going on here, I think we're going to see a quick abandonment, yeah, I mean, I was going to go on to say, of course, the trophy is priceless, you know, knowing that you've actually won the biggest one.

The episode of all time is in itself amazing, but also the value if you're a pro, maybe if you wanted to play 100k in the future, having that title under your belt might get you a little more attention, a little more faith , a bit. a little more clout if you were also looking for sponsors to put you in those types of events, yes definitely an awesome resume builder. I know we talked a little bit about the results of both players today and although Ben Dinelli has had some success. In side events you never know this kind of run in a main event and both players had to overcome a lot of really good and tough players to get here and they should certainly feel a lot more confident regardless of where they finish tonight in their warrior skill. calls with the queen eight suited, but Bendinelli finds jacks in the big blind and plays 25, yeah, so look at the difference in size here Maria when she had the nines she was going like 7x now she has jacks, she's going for 3.5 I feel like there's an interesting differentiation and I think it might be something you can pick up pretty quickly, yes, certainly, if you continue to play a lot of hands, warrior should take notes on these, perhaps, size indicators coming out of Bendinelli's queen eight, which is going to pay without problems, although everything. right, let's go to a flop, let's see if Guerrero can improve against the currently dominant Jacks, oh my gosh, look at the flop, what a flop, 765 Guerrero now with an up and down straight, Bendinelli draw still with a top pair on the board , warrior too. has an overcard over jacks, as well as some potential for a backdoor flush draw.

It looks like Chad is correcting me. He went to 3.5. It must have been a mystery on my part. Apologies in Bendinelli's chat, betting 3 million. How does Guerrero want to respond? he's going to call oh man a queen would be devastating I mean if a card comes in you might walk away from the jacks but if a queen comes he'll have a hard time escaping I think the king of spades in the turn 14 million in the pot ben dinelli has just over 17 million behind the rail he has gone silent bentonelli comes with a small size of three and a half million what do you think he is thinking warrior nick i am thinking he has a really good price it is a call um I don't I don't think I would escape for 3.5 here the straight pot odds are really good to raise a nine or an f or a four I think so the calls grow and the river is the two of hearts so what a total brick for bendinelli warrior with the best hand. you're probably wondering if you could get value out of something worse, I mean there's a chance to use that small size so you'd have around 14 million to bet on 21 on the river so you could have queued up to try the push. and they look at you, he's all-in and it's the all-in where you're happy that you're not getting called and now you definitely want to get a call considering how long it's taken warrior, you know, imagine any combo turned into king x guy just ended up calling here warrior taking his time but yeah definitely can't make the call there things actually took over the chip lead slightly 35 million to 33 million good dealer oh no again yeah I mean you'll be the second gentleman warrior who will never miss you a beat, yeah, I just don't see Guerrero making any mistakes in that pot, especially with the smaller turn size.

I just don't see that you think you'll ever escape such a clean and, you know, very, very nice draw. There's a little river for uh, for the bank Bendinelli now takes a slight lead, but now we're hitting the big 30 line mark, which means there's going to be a lot of free flop action and a lot of all-ins, so How will it develop? for these two now let's go to hand number 164. There are certainly a lot of profitable places to take advantage of an opening of these stack sizes and 164 is already over, that was pretty quick, neither player had much, yeah, we're good, like uh .

Yeah, like Maria says, you know as soon as we see aggressive action, there's a lot of three-bet interference versus openings, there's a lot of pushing on limpers and once you get to the stage, knowing your ranges and knowing how things adjust very quickly. as you become more superficial it is very important. If you want to win tournaments I used to use 25 because we have to use it, it's not completely unusual to see people limping with fives here in these situations, once we get that shallow the idea is that you would limp and then when your opponent raises you . you could push it, push it against them and if they're raising at the right frequency, I think it's a really great strategy.

I think Ben Dinelli has been relatively passive from out of position, so it might actually be better to go ahead and raise. all five of us here with this stack depth, um, we're still at 30 and not 25 and things change pretty drastically between those two, um, effective stack depths, so as you play warrior, you're going to be more aggressive sooner. of the flop against the spending that goes up. defend from the queen six of nine four four two hearts safe flop for the five of warrior bendinelli check to warrior with the bet c yes, there are not many good turns, is Maria there? so I think you just want to go ahead and take him down right here having said that your opponent will also have a four every once in a while and a nine every once in a while so just a little c bet just try and try to take him down here you get something of value for some hearts, you get some value for some ace high king high also floats so uh a multi-sided bet sure had some people in the chat asking how many hands they've played heads up, they've played 36 hands up now and jimmy Guerrero has had the chip lead most of the time. time, but things have certainly leveled out quite a bit since Guerrero doubled bendinelli, someone in the chat says supporting the millionaire, well they are both millionaires, now one of them is a 30 year old millionaire and as for Guerrero's net worth , it's unknown, I mean.

The guys let that sink in for a minute, how do you imagine you're going to Barcelona, ​​you've got five thousand dollars in your pocket and you go, I'm thinking about playing the main maybe you qualify and then you get on the plane and you go, I'm a millionaire now or you just get on your own plane you're pj. I just added another million to my bank account. On top of the many millions I already have, my net worth just increased by five percent. Panda Valley's flops are the best here paired with his ace, but it's warrior who's betting.

Yeah, interesting line here from warrior. um, I know it seems a little unconventional, but I think it's like testing the waters here is a strange clue on a psychological board yeah, yeah, why do you live, wait, why don't you bet, why did you live on a side board, You're crazy, crazy, it's going at a high level, it's over your head, don friend. Don't worry, warrior says I'm here to keep you on your toes. I'm very happy. He said that because he is confirming exactly the point he was about to make. This is a very unconventional track on that texture.

He's feeling it. because on a low card board of ace and queen, if your opponent is limping and you feel like he's going to raise a lot of his ace combos, you can try to take those too small, you'll take too many of them away. weak opponents who are not going to notice the fact that you are leading to a relatively limited board situation. um, I think warrior will probably stop doing that now at that point because it's not going to work as often as before. think especially when his opponent telegraphs that he's aware of the fact that that's an unusual line right there, even saying it out loud, yeah, and it's good to know that it looks like Ben Dinelli has some lymph nodes with some asexuals, so just more . information with the table talk that followed, yeah, absolutely warrior raising to 2.25 million with 10 8 against sudan bendinelli for the third time getting nines heads up, what's the size guys, huh, it's Ray's pot , although the guys are slightly different, obviously we were looking at the limp and then a raise from bendinelli, I guess this will be a triple bet instead, yeah, which makes it eight million and warrior can't continue with bendinelli in the chip lead, still pretty close stack sizes, around 36 big blinds to warrior's 30 big lines and mama bendinelli still standing oh. but I see someone on the road drinking water, I think it's that time, I think you know, drinking 12 hours is maybe their maximum nick, I don't know how much more they can take, I mean, they better suck it.

As soon as this notice ends, they will go directly to the club. It's true, everything in Barcelona is open late, so they can't use that as an excuse. They made an agreement at the beginning of today. Everyone in the final went to the club after this was over and whoever won paid for everything. You think one of them already has a guy you know in every city. There's a guy you call when you want to celebrate. You know someone who works. nightlife I have a guy in Las Vegas, maybe they have a guy here or a girl like a club repairman just a person who is going to prepare a very nice table for them, I mean this guy is worth 30 million of course he has a club repairman, something ridiculous to me.

I mean these players, no matter how much adrenaline is coursing through their veins right now, it's still absolutely exhausting what they've been through playing day after day after day, hour after hour after hour, don't let me spoil the flow guys. There's a flow, there's some flow, but you'd never mess it up, you'd just make it better, yeah, absolutely pass the second pair to warrior, who you know, with that jack six of diamonds ends up coming back hoping for more equity, well, This is a lot. good card for warrior 10 of spades but maybe even better for ben dinelli now with pair and a straight draw i mean sorry a pair and a flush draw well this stream is ruined it smells like sweat in here does it? what have you been? doing uh we've been dancing okay we've been doing samba bamba I don't know if you've heard so dance yeah it's very popular here in Barcelona you know Barcelona is a late city but still we'll miss you.

It's tonight, I mean, at this rate, I could miss my flight let alone miss the night. What time is your flight? I am scheduled to leave this hotel at 4:30 in the morning. Oh my gosh, I guess I'll have to go to the airport. with you someone will have to do it, I mean, thanks for volunteering, states, rivers, tens of clubs, so Ben Dinelli still has the best hand, queens and tens, he can't really get value, although there are a lot of jack-high calls at the moment. really an expert on prompts, I mean, if there's ever been some jack high calls, it's usually a good opportunity, but we'll see how it goes in this case, I've been translating the songs they've been singing. we are getting a lot of chichi whistles very good round of beers for the warrior lane looks like he will call warrior checks his option with jack for clubs 10 9 6 2 diamonds what a flop for the bendinelli pair and a flush draw warrior checks It's over, there's a lot of What to be happy about here for Bendinelli, even without knowing both card games, matching a flush draw, heads-up, is not bad at all.

So far, we've seen Guerrero play very smart, you know, definitely on the aggressive side, but making good decisions. It seems like he wants to exercise his check and raise option, this seems like a bad time for a check race, yeah, I mean, you can definitely get some equity with that jack in hand, but it seems like maybe he just feels that bendinelli is a weaker player and so this should work quite often if Ben Nelly didn't flop the way he did well. This is a pretty big pot, 12.4 million, which is a really interesting card on the turn, a ten of clubs.

It's definitely within reason that Guerrero would have checked-raised. the flop with a 10x hand, considering there are quite a few draws out there, so you can definitely continuetelling this story that he's improved to trips at this point, yeah, I mean also if he was check-raising with a hand like nine and six. it is now forged, so tens and nines for the queen would become the best hand. It's crazy how quiet it is now compared to how loud it gets yeah the railing just gives the players the respect to be able to think about these hands and it looks like warrior go for it oh wow queen nine of diamonds it's really nice but it is such a difficult situation when you bet so much on the turn yes and unfortunately for bendinelli he has no more time banks left and this is not an easy decision, not at all, I don't think Guerrero is going to throw one of his banks at him of time for this hand.

The less time you have to think about this, the better for him to make a call. Okay, so 24 million in the middle, that's double the amount. chips that jimmy has left behind jimmy might feel obligated to move forward on the river now that he has much less than pop behind him although queen of hearts on the river does warrior feel even more obligated with the jack to go for it? ben dinelli now plays queens and nines on the river i don't like the look of this jack 9 10 it's not a right straight no, but it could be a card that warrior wants to represent a card that maybe goes oh man, holland doubling to Ellie, it's over, oh my god, no. time banks wow top pair head to head we will still have chips left if he calls and makes a mistake, he had that chip in his hand but almost a chip calls wow wow, we don't have any more time bank, although you guys, this is for the title no I think without time banks you can think properly about the action we saw a dramatic call to end the day yesterday a bluff eliminated by an ace high this is better than that first step is not getting called when going all in the second step is letting time's up, I think he, if I'm not mistaken, I think he only needs to have the best hand like one in four times to be here, his time is up, that's folding, it doesn't matter. what are the cards, oh no, jimmy bluffs, warrior wants to show so much and shows all his rail and now he flips his hands, oh man, oh no, oh my god, jimmy warrior snatching almost close even again jimmy on top, I want say somehow just a perfect river i think for warrior ben denelli it just didn't feel right for warrior in that spot considering ben dinelli also had a flush drawn do you like between jimmy's dance and ben dinelli's tuck they're not making friends? with the audience right now, yeah, maybe we have to run that pole again, uh, yeah, jeepers, I can't believe how close we got to the end right there with another time bank, maybe he's come to the conclusion of that the top pair is too good to retire, yeah and unfortunately, we're going to have to watch this dance in slow motion now, okay, I'm almost waiting to lift his shirt and slap his belly.

I mean, I think this is part of the tournament that you know that people don't. What we don't really talk about is managing your time banks when there is a shot clock in play, unfortunately sometimes at a final table you end up having so many difficult decisions that you end up using all your time banks and don't expect to get them. Mind you, you feel like there will be a situation where you know you have to use it now and you can't really think about whether I'll get far enough to need more time banks, but that's definitely a situation where you wish I had more time, yeah , I mean, it's like if you don't get to the tournament stage, there's no point in saving them properly, so if you really needed them before, better to use them, but that would have been helpful in that. the last hand i thought it was over i really thought it was over and jimmy has to feel like that's as lucky as hitting a double outside yeah when it's all said and done bendinelli really only had a bluff catcher but like he said Nick It doesn't have to be right that often for it to be a profitable decision and I would understand, maybe if it were.

There is no deal and there are 700,000 euros at stake, but you know that when you take everything into account, you are only playing for the 68,000, you don't say. that you should still make the wrong decision in that situation just that you know it could have been easier to do so, it's not going to cost you that much, right, I mean, it's not a 700 thousand decision, what are they playing at? 69 68. euro 69 euros 69,000.69,000. okay, okay, but I still want to say yes in the grand scheme of things 69 ish, oh man, yeah, I think um like stapes says warrior in this situation , like I whip his cards, like what an incredible bluff, I don't.

I think he realizes how lucky he was there to have the time bank set up and they play with Guerrero raising this bet on Ben Nelly Bendinelli's flop with top pair although Guerrero with two overs and some backdoors, but it looks like Ben and ellie they are going to close it. come down and move everything in, he's got a nice strong pair, a good kicker, he just wants to close it out right then and there, hello, another look at that beautiful trophy these two players are competing for along with the ept warrior ace champion title five. on the button goes up to 2.25 million hello hello pocket kings now I don't know about you nick but like we mentioned we haven't really seen ben and ellie go out of line with their three bets so sometimes I feel like you know that maybe you need to change it up and try to trap your opponent a little.

You know they'll give you a lot of respect for your three beds at this point. Yes, I think you are right and you know again that you will not accept. shots at Ben Dinelli like he really hasn't had the best combos to make the two bets, so you can get this kind of false feeling of oh, this guy only makes three bets when he does well, he's had a lot of things really trash. hands and then he's had some very playable hands and he's starting to look a little unbalanced, but in this situation it's actually very strange because you feel like, given the dynamics of the table so far, you want to change it and maybe just play. it's like a flat and it's cheating, but when you have like 25 effective big bonuses to start the hand, you're too deep to not want to try to build the pot right now, when you can really convince your opponent to mess it up. with you know, ace 10, you know, ace queen, something like that and just explode and put all the chips in the middle or at least inflate the pot in a way where you can win a full stack on later streets, yeah, but warrior feels like he's adjusting a little to his opponent only to fold with the ace five just without even considering you know bendinelli really has a lot of three-bet bluffs in his range look at that smile on his face he's feeling pretty pleased with himself now up to 44 big blinds jimmy career solo 21. yes, even though ben nelly folded the best hand when warrior was all in on a bluff, he still has a 2-1 chip advantage over warrior jack nine of spades on the button, feeling a little more confident now abendanelli goes ahead and limps with jack nine suited I love this limp with this combo in 21 big blinds cash jack nine suited jack tends to make jack kate look at that kind of thing they are great super playable hands in a position you don't want to allow yourself, you don't want to excuse me, you don't allow your opponents to triple bet you without mercy and you are forced to fold from these combinations, so it is better to limp and then face a raise and then defend, it means you can play. many more hands in position, you can also have a couple of extra traps there, too big a flop for ben denali but top pair for warrior, so he is currently in front, but in percentage only the slight favorite with a flush draw and second pair, yes, Bendinelli. he has made quite a few pair and flush draw hands he has definitely had a lot to continue on this type of board eight of diamonds on the turn warrior checks again a very complicated turn here check checks and the seven of spades gives ben uh bendinelli theBest hand, this goes, this is the second crazy, the third, excuse me, yes, but Guerrero so far has not taken much aggressive action with the top hair again check it out, oh man, if Ben Dinelli does it like four million, here you go all queens pay. he gets paid all nines, I mean, it's for me, he's a nice thick size on this river, check indicates he's got some kind of matchup, yeah, we've seen Ben Dinelli make some overbets when he has them, but this one time bet 4. million you called him now the only other piece of the puzzle is warrior calling him always always every time here this is a limping pot he checks the turn how can you possibly fold? yeah Gloria feels like he doesn't like it doesn't like it You know, I was just about to say that he actually made some really good DNFs at these places before he got paid, he takes advantage of the bad news, but overall, you know maybe he could have lost a little more, considering they checked on the turn and now Bendinelli. 50 big blinds against warrior's 16 big blinds, so 4 million confirmed.

Good job, everyone really, very good Bendanelli boat. I love the line. I like the limp. I like the bed on the flop. I like checking on the turn. Really, very nice place. and obviously it's kind of cool for Bendanelli, especially given the way the hand was played, that queen is going to win most of the time, so I guess I don't want to ignore that decision in heads-up poker. The top pair is very strong. Warrior. king four suited on the button Nick is practicing his sambabomba back here it's been a long week guys, I mean Nick, you know you'll definitely be able to show it off tonight.

I'm sure they're invited to his after-party. I understand why. you're practicing, it's fair, oh wow, interesting, folding three suited, I mean very often you'll defend pretty much any suited hand in the big blind, I think that's the norm, but this time I didn't feel it enough fair, it's not. like a3 suited, it's like a super high value combination that you could never let go. It's probably just losing very slightly a few big blinds to give up once you've posted your big blind, but we move on to the next hand. Know for those who are just joining us that these two players made a deal at the beginning of the heads-up Bendinelli with the majority of the prize when there were two players left taking home 1.4 million euros warrior 1.25 million this is going to entering is going to be a change for the title warrior the all in stack with pocket fives bendinelli with ace jack what happens when two survivors collide to the right, turn the wheel a stone in a difficult place neither of them will leave although Does a person have their mother? on the railing the other person doesn't so you have to keep in mind mom runs well oh yeah you're absolutely right on that railing what happens when an unstoppable forest meets an immovable king eight four so far safe for all five with six eliminated? warrior looks for an ace or a jack two cards to come could be destiny for the person who was left with a big blind before the king of hearts on the turn gives bendinelli some more leads to fake the fives of warrior's hand that's right , the eight gives you kings and eights with an ace that will give you the best hand the river hump the five of hearts is not necessary but warrior makes a boat in the river to double wow guys wow and that is stopping an unstoppable force meets an immovable object none of the players will fall we are Still, guys, we are a couple of seconds away from the break.

Now let's count Guerrero's stack so that Pendanelli can pay the man after the deal, although these players are playing for an additional €68,000 and of course the trophy and title. from the ept champion in the main event of the biggest ept of all time maria this is unreal, i am more than happy 17 17 550. The funny thing is that earlier, on a break of mine, I thought: should I pack now just in case? and I thought, I mean, no way, no way, this is going to keep happening until the time I have to go to the airport, I feel you.

I mean, at this rate, I'm going to be doing this in my hotel room, possibly with a bottle of wine. while I'm packing and then you know maybe I can get a few minutes of sleep before uh before the transfer but it doesn't matter guys look at this it's appropriate for the main event of the biggest EPT of all time that these players have to really fight. looking for the title who's worthy and you see jimmy warrior with his rail just giving him some pats on the back for that devil nice thumbs up and a smile and as these two remaining players head to break we'll take a look at his chip count jimmy warrior fresh off that double 30 big blinds but giuliano bendel bendinelli 27 big still in the fight very close stacks as they return after this break more of the ept barcelona coming straight at you two players left both taking home over a million of euros tonight oh boy warrior ace king under the gun bendanelli ace queen on the button bendanelli starts the hand with 24 big blinds this could be terrible yes, the potential for a big clash, especially considering the effective stack size here's the push ofbendinelli costa in the small Out has king jack, there goes a king, the mockery is covering his cards, yes, what are you doing?, buckle up everyone.

It's going to be long. Well, we know he has a decision in his hands both because of his hole cards and because he pulled it off. very clear that he is willing to go to the time bank for this, yes carumba is a mockery, the shortest stash and this has to happen now, I think considering that he does not close the action and warrior opens from under the weapon, just retreat , but there's a fire, yes, but it's not going to be a quick retreat, yes, I think this is a yes, exactly that, laugh at the situation, you have to get away from it, warrior, no, no, he's making the call , is a warrior, who is in nothing.

No matter what happens here, someone will be eliminated or almost eliminated. Ben Dinelli is behind. We saw a doubled queen, that doubled king is less relevant with the ace and queen behind it and now it's time to find out if Guerrero has 234 life instead of 233 and finished in 13th place next to him. When he finished third in Monte Carlo, Guerrero, who has been living on borrowed time, will be the first player out of this final table and will cash 334,000. If Guerrero has the king on the high flop, that makes Guerrero the big favorite after the first three cards, however, ben Dinelli now has three outs that we know didn't exist before because a queen was folded the turn is an ace is a heart the heart is irrelevant bendinelli three outs he needs to make Broadway he needs to make a straight ace king holds a warrior doubles bendinelli in smoke yes then it's not an elimination yet, but ace four has to go with the false aces before they say yes, ace night now it's officially time to summon mom, run well gabriella in the rail for his warrior son in the small blind seems interested, what can I do?

He definitely calls 5'6 as well with queen five, so Ben and Ellie aren't in terrible shape right now, yeah, but they won't get any protection after the flop. You most likely know that both players in the side group are incentivized to just pass it unless it's really a hit for Ben Dinelli, but he has this hand locked, he doesn't have to worry about running diamonds, turning the card over, it gives him something of hope to Yarash, who can make Broadway River a safe seven car, Bendinelli is going to win, knock down even if there are no sidebars. alive is like I said in 2014 all you need is a chip and a chair kowalski in the small blind ben and ellie in the big definitely after having posted the blinds here there are two big blinds left behind kevalsky of diamonds kovalsky with queen high for now ben dinelli is going to need at least a pair he will be the first player to fall here day six king king six bendinelli not giving up much hope here maybe a diamond on the turn he still needs a turn four or five the card is a six and that's it, yes, not even a pair of fours or fives will do, it will be kings and sixes with a queen in the worst case for kovalsky, wait a second to take advantage of the opportunities, kings and sixes with an ace for both players and bendinelli survives again oh god, okay, now I'm getting nervous because I think it's my time.

The seventh course is approaching. Going to the trash seems pretty reasonable, even if the chip leader you have has to have some standards here. Kavalsi with Kovalsky in a suit. queen two of hearts on the button kovalsky has to feel oh, i would say it feels pretty good once warrior folds, but kowalski doesn't have many more chips than i guess, he has twice as many as bendinelli, even with costa, yeah I don't remember badly. He would have been tempted to raise that queen two suited on the button to the blinds, I'm sure that would be a mistake since Kovalsky folded, but he would have run into two bigger hands king queen suited, I think the suit queen duke is fine on the button, but you really want to find the situations where you're significantly stacking those opponents, you want to have them covered for a lot more than the current setup, queen two of hearts is never really an opening if you're playing exclusively by chippy there on that stacks up, but you can make adjustments when other players have to be stricter for icm absolutely or if you think your opponents in big wines are all in a call bendinelli all in and at risk again, but again it's ahead in the situation of domination, coast, the visit is Rail. knowing that statistically he will end up in the cellar after this hand and we know that a queen was doubled, Costa needs to hit a jack for an immediate exit.

Do you think any hold over a second? Bendinelli's mother is singing with the Brazilians. Did she change? sides what great Brazilians can be very charming that's what I like about this train I think we have Italians and Brazilians singing we do it this is fantastic you love watching it back I have no idea what it was but it was amazing yeah interrupt that guy at the bar you thought I was a guy a lot of people in check asking for a jack you know me I like justice I like to see bendinelli win the best hand quite stoic not always join the reindeer games that happen at this final table just look at this italy and brazil mixing as a global poker community here's the clean flop clean flop for bendinelli watch out brother don't take it off a spade also useful for bendinelli the turn is another ten chances now now the doubled aliens had their fair share of hits when they should been ruined, yeah, rivers of five, not a double whammy, Ben Denelli, there's the thrill we're looking for, saving it for the clean end, don't forget, mom, he better be back.

I guess he did an instant replay or did it twice. I play for fun. I like the game. You know, I like psychology. I am an instinctive player. I make my strategy. I want to bet, I want to do action. It's the biggest epto ever, so yeah, I like it a lot, but it's very intense, like we're playing for a lot of money, so my strategy is bet, bet, bet, but I play according to my feelings, you know, Sometimes I bet, sometimes I went to bow with the queen. and then I fought in poke time, I was just an intuitive player, like, uh, I should follow my instinct.

I mean, it's very important for me to enjoy all the fans while watching the focus class. I made the final table in Monaco, that was in 2016. I finished third, but Monaco went. stressful maybe now I'm smarter you play in the biggest tournament in history and a lot of people look at me it's great, welcome back the night has fallen over barcelona this is the main event of the biggest ept european 2022 barcelona in history Coverage of today's final table, day six of our main event commentary and two players left. We have Jimmy Guerrero with 30 big blinds who just doubled before the break and Giuliano Bendanelli, his opponent with 27 big blinds, so we still have pretty deep and very close stacks.

These two players were guaranteed over a million euros when they went head-to-head, however, they ended up making a deal before the head-to-head began. I'm Maria Ho, accompanied by Nicholas Walsh. Hey, we're still here, let's do it. These two players. fighting for the trophy and the ept champion title and as you can see there the deal they agreed gave ben nelly who was the chip leader at the time over 1.4 million euros to warrior , although 1.25 million euros for his winnings and both players. I'm still playing for another 68,000 change left. You see those Italian flags on the railing waiting for their player to come back.

What happened to Jimmy Guerrero's railing at half-time? Everyone went out to buy a round. I guess they are out there. Team talk is needed, what is our game plan for guarding? uh, Jimmy, yeah, well, we've seen a great one-on-one battle between these two, definitely playing their hearts out. The lines are now 600,000 1.2 million with the big blind's initial bet in play. Additionally, levels are now 45 minutes. We're even. You have two big ones and small ones. You have two big and small families. Okay, you have three. I know exactly that it is time to return. Now he will be disappointed if they don't come back here soon.

Jimmy's back, that's what really matters. I can't believe we're starting another level of crazy heads-up on the membrane. You know no, it's not bad. Actually, I didn't. I've never seen Nick dance before, but I say he can move. for a white man, yeah, or how you guys say it in the UK, you could throw shapes, throw some shapes, sure, yeah, I mean, okay, I can also record this saying I was ironically dancing, so if my ironic dancing fuese was doing something, so you know, I mean, the real thing might look better, I'm not sure, I don't claim to be a great dancer, I mean, imagine if you had music to dance to what that would look like, oh, he's doing it acapella. a cappella dance, rest, what are the batteries?

There are exactly 27 big blinds each at the moment. It would seem quite incredible given the crazy hands that both players played, you would think that one would have a huge chip advantage, but no, even Stevens, yes, he was telling Maria Joe what happens when two players who refuse to die do everything possible by their lives in the tournament, face to face, what happens when an unstoppable force meets. an immovable object you took the words that's exactly what I said Joe well what usually happens is that the force of the collision destroys us all planet Earth yeah a black hole just opened up in the table and, yes, all life was absorbed by him. the next big bang these two somewhere a new universe was born when everyone was in heaven the dealer dealt chops for eternity you two are a bit forceful warrior raised this is 4.2 million and lowers it to his aggressive pre-flop guys Islanders asking is there a continuation of the notice, that's right, let's go until it's over until the casino license runs out every year in Barcelona, ​​except last year it was done at like 3:30 p.m. but every year they say, well this place has to close at 5am, guys, we've gotten to the point, it's late now, so we might as well watch some awesome heads-up poker, let's run it guys, no I know if these guys, these guys are still going to come out and uh. and I hit the clubs as I promised at the beginning of today I think the rest of the table has already hit the clubs and is in bed the clubs they hit them yes exactly and they are down warrior on the button 6'5 off I don't miss anything you have 2.7 Well, it looks like at least Jimmy is committed to getting this over with soon, yeah, Jimmy certainly won't give up, this is Jimmy, this is the guy who was.

He was saying we play two suits, we play two, two, we play up to three. we played two four he was trying to flex it yesterday trying to leave a point he can hold all night now he's tired he wants this to be over but of course that trophy is on the line he said it two point seven he said you said two minutes ago the call dial 10 9 2 pair for ben dinelli and not much for warrior but check again this texture vote now for bendinelli a boat for ben and ellie but it's a yacht, that's the question, does it look like a yacht or a super yacht like bendinelli goes to start leading hoping to get some value wow what a warrior float here nick wow really interesting line to take just wait a second so if he's floating there's a chance he's going to wait wait he's going to do some kind crazy. move, hold, tilt, he's going to pass the river, he's going to pass the river, yeah, I think when you call there in position with high sixes, you just hope that your opponent closes in the river and that opens things up for you.

We've seen him, we've seen him do this before, although you know, that little blocker bet he's made in the past, there's 10 million, I think that's the line he's going to take here. We've seen that it works for him too, yes, you think it's I'm going to induce him, I called him, it's so small, it's not an ultra jamming battery, Betty, but it's very, very small and it could induce Guerrero to put it all in here like a bluff, but I've seen this before where Guerrero pushes here and Benelli folds. par, that didn't just happen, yes, yes, but in this place he is unbeatable with that boat, but you wonder Nick Guerrero without relevant blockers, although yes, that matters, yes, no, if he decides, he will do it on the line definitive. in that situation it's check jack 10 because there are so many draws in the river that you want to give the person with mr oz a chance to represent a hand, but the way you play it, you know, I think they'll still look for you a lot and I don't think the bet is in no way a mistake and so we are on track to deliver 180 blinds, that's 600,120,000 with 120,000 chips and not even close to 1.2 million, thank you very much. a lot ten times the amount look we're all a little tired we're at the end of uh what 60 hours of streaming this week and uh in Nick's defense the zeroes there aren't a lot of zeros yes there are a lot okay there are a lot of zeros on my screen in this moment guys, I could send you a photo in a second.

There are a lot of them. Thank you for the correction. Joe six hundred thousand one point two million pocket eights for Bendinelli and I don't think that's a spoiler. say really nocan go beyond this level 30 big blinds playing 24 big blinds it's almost impossible for them to get out of this level without the money coming in yes, pendanelli here with aids should have finished mathematically at the last level the math is broken today oh boy, we have a set of eights for ben dinelli oh no top pair for warrior i said the money was going to have to go these guys have played pretty conservatively and made some close folds so maybe that's not the case. to get in right now, but wow, this feels like ben dinelli laid off 2.5 million or 250,000 whatever you want, thank you all and warrior just calls the turn it's a jack, what a setup, such a cold deck, cold deck, city ​​covered by warrior.

I think the only light at the end of the tunnels is that we have seen many miraculous rivers throughout this tournament looking to make the board even except for an eight, but you don't know it, but you probably think you have the best. trips versus a full house, yes, and Bendinelli is very clearly trying to establish a size here on the turn that can make it easy to push all in on the river. He wants to give Guerrero a good price to continue, does he ever get in now? Guerrero doesn't have idea? what he faces makes it equal, so that's 23 million in the middle.

None of the players with the pot size bet behind Jimmy really need to hit this river. Wow, this is amazing. This is the coldest deck. It doesn't get any colder than this. Maria. I'm glad you have a sweatshirt for this crazy ending. I guess oh my god, the craziest ept I've ever been a part of. Could literally a bad beat jackpot hand jack's completely defeated by quad eights warrior bets wow oh and warrior leading oh my God, put yourself in his place, he has quads and they are taking you to this river. It's absolute jackpot payday.

How is Bendinelli's heart not jumping out of his skin right now? Bendinelli has been so patient. He has retired the winners. put this to bed announce everything in Guerrero hasn't called Ben Denali Guerrero Mesas does it to the loser and Pendanelli surrounded by his compatriots someone catches that boy his mom Giuliano Ben Denali is the champion of the main event of the EPT Barcelona 2022 absolutely unreal final for an amazing main event and the opportunity won't stop a nice kiss from mom benadelli bendinelli it's just not even real life y'all that's no way to win an ept in real life this is real life people seriously watch what just happened, this guy came back from a big blind to be here at River Quads oh my goodness, you couldn't have written a better ending to what has been just an incredible ride.

Guerrero still has a lot to be happy about, although Nick took home more than 1.25 million euros and is 1.2. million reasons to be happy right now wow and what a way to bust, although you can't be mad at yourself for ruining yourself like that in heads-up, yes, you see Jimmy Guerrero's official payment on the screen, since we mentioned many reasons. To be happy, he definitely played a difficult heads-up match, but in the end he went cold because of all the chips. Bendanelli wrapped in the Italian flag. His family and friends were at the railing all day. They definitely got quads right, bro.

It's a big decision for mom to fly. Today I come in for this one, Ben Dinelli, who has had a lot of deep runs, good finishes and preliminary events, ends up winning the biggest EPT main event in history and it looks like we are going to throw him to the ground because I am sure this champion has a lot what to say. It's been a long, tiring day coming back from a big blind to beat it all. Giuliano. How does it feel to have won the biggest and what many people call the best ept of all time?

I can't believe it uh it's the best day of my life I'm speechless I'm exhausted well never ever stop following your dream and yeah amazing well I know you're speechless I have to say a couple words. of you, uh, first of all, I assume you are familiar with the phrase, all it takes is a chip and a chair, you came back from a big blind, you will keep this phrase for the next 10 years, talk to me easily about it. yeah like um one like me I don't remember if it ever happens when I remember when I was left with a big blind coming back to the business and I can't believe it happens today on the most important day of my life I am I'm proud of how I play, but I also want a matchup, so of course to be here I need luck and the last hand, like with quads against full house, so it's a ski mix between skill and luck, yes, I'm grateful to be here.

There haven't been many Italian winners in the EPT. Is there anything you want to say to Italy and your mother? Yes, thank you all for everything. Thank you, thank you all for all the support. I love you, I love you mom and this victory is for My dad, very good, a big round of applause, Barcelona CPT champion, what an absolute fairy tale ending for Bendinelli and I mean his story and his journey to the final table.
