Hello everyone, welcome to the World Poker Tour we are in Los Angeles, California, the Golden States and there is a lot of gold at stake tonight. at the La Poker Classic I'm Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten and could you set it up again on the Brinks truck?

They are playing for a lot of money here in Los Angeles. We started five days ago. 693 players, all contributed $10,000 to win. a total prize of close to seven million dollars and the majority of it will be distributed here tonight with the winner taking home a ridiculous figure of 2.4 million dollars. This title always seems to go to one of the greats of the game, that's true. three. Years ago we saw the Great Dane Gus Hansen take the title a couple of years ago we saw the magician Tonio Esfandiari pull the rabbit out of the hat and then last year Michel Legrand Amis Rocky took the title, they all went on to fame and Well, good luck , tonight's final six players look to make their mark and join that illustrious group of champions.

Okay, Mike, let's meet the players in the six-chip position. Tonight's short stack, a professional from New York, is Steve Simmons, he has 1,500,000 and chips moving for the fifth chip position a Daniel Quach who lives in Los Angeles used to be a professional casino dealer has 1 million six hundred fifty thousand chips starting in fourth chip position tonight his former WPT world champion Alan Goering is a retired Wall Street businessman looking to capture his second WPP friend tonight in third chip position, his businessman from Los Angeles, Michael Wu Michael, is well known in Los Angeles poker circles and is looking to become world famous by winning tonight.

Well, the second pair of chips in position, Omer, used to live in Sweden and Now Cyprus entered this tournament through a thousand dollar satellite. This is a fantasy moment for him and our chip later tonight is JC Tran. He has been to other WPT final tables and finished seventh both times, including this event two years ago. You know he desperately wants to do it. capture your first WPT title okay here we go with the final table of the LA Poker Classic about to begin 93 players initial knife worried about the sea to start right now let's go down without talking about the structure here the Andes tonight will start five thousand dollars each the The blinds will be twenty-five and fifty grand.

All players in this tournament started with 20,000 in chips, so there are a lot of chips at stake. The first action will be the former WPT world champion, Alan, preparing Alan. spectacular player known as a maniac with feeling he has ace queen right now well no this Vince is already in hand one who doesn't do what most people would do is raise with ace queen he just limps right behind Daniel cancels the ex dealer has chosen up a pair of nines there is a general phrase No Limit Hold'em be careful with the limper but when the lepers Alan Goering you might want to leave him out of the pot 2200 Daniels is going to raise, 200,000 left and now we are Nemo, he has ten years, looks a bit like that fish there.

Mike puts his hand on Steve Simmons with nine for the second round. JC Tran is an excellent poker player, but he looks at the jak3 here and folds it. The werewolf. Michael boo, his hometown boy, pitches it. away his six seven, so let's go back to Allen with his ace queen, well he'll make the call with ace Queen still taking the conservative route in hand number one Allen Goering, so we have 9 against ace Queen in the first hand and they're at half a million dollars in the pot the flop is coming the flop is five five three with two hearts Allen checks quickly that's some good nonsense from Daniel Koch the former poker dealer has top pair every time he finds three cards lying around and your pair is higher than three, which is considered a good flop for you 250, so you will bet a quarter of a million dollars on Allen Gary.

I call. Ellen quickly pays for it, so, as we know, she doesn't like a disappointed hand bounce. Here she is paying with ACE. I didn't get anything on the flop, but it's not going away yet. Let's see the fourth street. Now the turn card. The king of clubs. Allen passes by again. You wonder if Daniel is starting to get a little nervous. Hate. going bankrupt on hand number one, that was the kind of player who plays cards too low, so he must be thinking: was this guy just trying to get him? 250 no, relentless, although yes, up, it's not slowing down, that's another quarter of a million. and this time Allen Garen gives up so there you have Daniel Fox taking the number one pot so Vance we can be watching tonight do a good job taking that pot you know you feel good about these former dealers who put in their years at the table now I have a chance to win a lot of money on the other side of the table it's great to see okay let's look at the clocks on the next hand here it is it's a very unimpressive nine eight he throws it and wants an emo that has Queen nine, the little fish that could come up Steve Simmons in seat one looks down at four deuces of suits and now JC Tran with a button has ten eights of clubs before having been at the WPT final table he missed two on other occasions goes to raise, he makes 150,000 and now, right behind Michael Wu with king eight of hearts, he has a decision.

Michael, ooh, quite a conservative player, has operations to quit, yes he does, and the only one to beat is Alan Goering. Alan Goering simply. unlike Michael Woo, he likes to play a lot of pots, what we call a blind defender when his blinds are there, it's hard to get him away from him, call this race with king six and let's see this flop, it's ace 8. two notice JC Tran has made a pair of eights here it doesn't help Allen but that doesn't matter to him well 150 is going to bet anyway 150,000 dollars this leads directly to the knife with a bet of 150 thousand dollars now JC Tran got the piece of eights are a pair of H with the 10 kickers thinking about this Does Allen really have an ace when he hit it?

If you had it before the flop and you are going to call with it. He doesn't believe Allen has an ace in his hand. He knows. this guy said: you know, if he didn't have an es, I probably would have aged before the flop nine of clubs on the turn, see if he'll slow down Alan Gary, does he pass? You can look at JC Tran in disbelief that he has an eighth here, maybe he's putting it on a flush draw, but he'll bet and find out what he has. He puts 225,000 in there. Alan returns with his trash hand.

King 6 has to go. Bye bye. Alan Garin is sinking fast. He hears that you lost. half a million in the first pot three hundred thousand in that pot but that just shows that the guy likes to play what we're seeing it's not about the cards it's about the players these guys are putting into each other's minds what you're thinking and that's what poker is really about in a well-played high-level hand by JC Tran. He is an exciting player. The Tran man plays fast, but the actions will depend on Daniel Quat at this time. He has 10-7 hearts and quickly. comes out pepped, looks down at 8/7, will fold Steve Simmons with a six out and now JC Tran with a button with a six three of diamonds, will limp in and call on the button here and now Michael got a pretty good hand a small blind has ace jack look how he plays it he just calls the miss he doesn't go over the top and raises it like most players wouldn't that's because of Alan carrying only a horrible 8 two of suit says let's see this flop I love cheap flops let me play you later well the flop is 5 5 3 JC Tran gets a bit of that with three action on Michael Wu he didn't raise before the flop but now he's looking for chips here 80 it bet 80,000, it's talent.

Goering quickly folds and now goes to Jay to see who has threes and fives, but he knows that he is facing a conservative player and Michael Wu, what are you doing with two threes here in this place? He's going to upload it, yeah, this is what we do. call some test raises raised to a hundred thousand here some probe guy raised just to find out where michael was he said hey if you had a real pair wouldn't you have raised before the flop? I do not believe you would do it. I want to do it. find out where you are.

I really like this play and I'll tell you why, because if you just call here and now, Michael bets on the next street, now here to guess whether he has it or not, he's making the raise here to find out right now if Michaels really has a hand now and as you can see, Michaels has a problem, yes, he's thinking himself. He should have raised before the flop. I guess I got something too. I want to have a battle here or it won't turn out well. he's going to fold it, let's take a look at the young guys you can see, look at everyone, a jack on the turn and then an ace on the river, so without that raise, there's a good chance JC Tran will lose that pot in instead of earning it seven million. prize pool in dollars $2.4 million will go to one winner stay tuned we will be back with more on the World Poker Tour winning a World Poker Tour title is almost like winning a Super Bowl or winning an NBA championship would mean a lot It's like Getting the monkey off my back now I want to be able to win the title and just say, "Hey, I did it in Los Angeles." There is much more action.

I think the LA players are much more action-oriented the first time around. I think a late player is playing. tournament. I just sold a worm, but what are these guys like. It's a poker cap all over the world. Welcome back to La Poker Classic. I'm Vince Van Patten, sitting next to Mike, sexy here with the pre-raised to $10,000 and the blinds. There are going to be 40 and 80 great actions that will fall to Michael. Six players left. Michael looks down at 75 offsuit and throws it. Allen quickly retreats. Daniel breaks up with King Eight, he will leave him and now, around the little fish Nemo, he looks at this.

He's got a couple of jacks very good hand on the button look, he's going to play race to 25 he's going to raise, he makes 225,000 to go right behind him Steve Simmons heads look at this, oh boy, this could mean trouble for the fish right here who has chosen up the checkers and what time to do it, let's see how he is going to play with the two queens the wall there he goes with everything Wow, just Breton, everything is fine here JC Tran retreats quickly, so back off on Nemo, but in the 225th in the book who has a huge hand: Jax against Queens, it will cost Nemo a little over 1.2 million more to make this call here, it will be an incredible game, let's see if Nemo can make it, that's 1.2 fair there, quote, look at this, he's going to pay and that's it.

Right now, we're going to be dominated by two queens against two jacks, over three million dollars in this pot, and right now Nemo is going to have to get lucky and remember we saw JC Tran get the jack and the big blind, so he's really drawing little, come on. The dealer hits it, come on, the first three, Mike, now the flop is fourteen. I don't want to be picturesque, no, for Nemo to win this pot, he'll have to catch the case, jack or king, queen, things are looking very bad for Nemo, right? now a cyprus man in trouble with two cards to come here we go with the turn to make some arts we go to the river card and it must be the case that jack nemo must catch if he is going to remove steve's image from in this tournament , the fish woman is drowning in the river.

She needs a miracle. Can she get it? No, it's a tennis fade, so Steve Simmons let's do the devil and Vince in poker has in life that the big fish eats the little fish and Nemo is. smarter, I'll look, he looks like one of those villains in a bad Batman hoodie, he looks like the elf John and pain right now Nemo, when a nickname is Nemo, it's from the cutting room floor because it's more efficient, I have a good advantage. in the past, the evil bear to make this final table so big because I want to feel something for other Swedish players who don't really know me that well, just amazing with that pot, Steve Simmons doubling up there, he's got about 2.9 million of dollars, yes.

Moved to second chip position, Vance our chip leader is still JC Tran with around three and a half million chips and right now the lowest man on the totem pole is Alan Goering, he is around 1.2 millions. All the right actions have to be in steep once again. this time he looks down to 73 of diamonds, comes out and now JC Tran, the fast moving player, has ten seven, he's going to raise well, this is playing aggressive poker right here. 220,000 bet on JC, I'm just trying to play some power poker. Michael Wu, out. Allen and how Daniel Quach got the 10 from him and now it's Nemo's turn, he's got the weapons of mass destruction, a couple of aces, well, he loves it, they just tortured him with two jacks, now he picked up the bullets and tried it . to take down JC Tran and find out how he can get some money from him.

Filan, he's going to raise it again and win half a million. I like the size of this raise, Vince 280,000, enough to draw your opponent into the pot, well JC Tran playing 10-7 has toput an additional 280 if you want to continue competing with two. Wow, he's got the chip, so Vince, but Nemo is still a pretty conservative player when he outplays you. for 300,000 you think you just folded 10-7 suited, but not JC Tran. He made the call, well, he's already involved. He calculates another 280. He's going to speculate and see the flop. Here we go. Well, the flop is queen 9 8, so JC Tran flops. an open straight draw action of course will depend on Nemo, he has the two aces and they are the best hand right now, it's time to look everywhere for them, he's not going to waste time, he's betting 600,000 here and bets that it's about half of your stack.

If you're sitting in JC Tran's seat, know right now that Nemo will be committed to the boat and even if you get him on, he's not going anywhere. because there will be so much money in the pot that he won't be able to throw it away for another 600,000. Let's see when he's going to beat JC Tran with the open draw and straight. He is known as a wild player. He can do almost anything. Well, there you go, well, that shows you the riverboat player, he's going all in, he's going for it now. Nemo doesn't like it.

Vince, but you can't imagine the guy can put two aces and with Bob, things have changed. fast for Nemo, the little fish, is a terrible failure. I guess I'm the first one out. I paid, well he's paying, yes he did. He must like it a lot more when he sees JC's hand, so they're betting big right now at the Commerce Casino. here in Los Angeles and Nemo is a two to one favorite to keep his hand high right now, however if he were unlucky he would be our first man out, he would go back to Cyprus, but right now he is the favorite to win Kenny keeps JC Tran at bay here, well a queen comes on the turn so JC Tran will have to catch a six or a jack to make a straight and break the two aces otherwise our little Nemo fish will double. a big card appears on the river and the five of hearts comes up, he has done it, the fish has survived.

I was a little thin and JC Tran says to himself, God, maybe he should have called every raise before the flop got him in trouble, but new life for the fish that could Nemo double up and with that pot he has become The new chip leader right now he's the shark and there's a fish-bet style hit going on here in

classic

Los Angeles poker action on Daniel Quach, the former poker dealer. yes, good hand bounces, he reached ten, oh yes, look how he is going to play with it and he is going to raise in a healthy way, he raised to 275 thousand to go very excited.

Nemo looks at the queen of him eight. He likes to retire. Steve Simmons is retiring. JC Tran doesn't want moss. with his six five he's not going to take a break here after BT took the last pot Michael Little folds now Alan Kerry in the big blind has only nine suited seven events his problem is that he's in the short stack here at this 275 oh call table will cost him almost 200k more, which will put him under the million dollar chip mark, but he's doing it by calling with a nine seven suit, the guy's come to play Vince, look This fence has been struck by lightning. his three 9's on the flop here show melodies playing in his head, he checks it.

Daniel passes the two tens right behind him. That's a conservative but good play by Daniel right there and now a queen comes out from Allen charging with his set of nines, good Allen. this time he'll come out and bet the three nines, yes, but it's Ben C's smallest bet, but 225,000 when there's 650,000 on the table and that's what Daniel wonders about how Ecosse we have, I mean, you're just making a bet to try it. to take the pot, do you really have my two tens beaten? Daniel Quach has the open straight plus tens and nines, of course, a hand with those cards out there, you can escape it if you wanted to, but you might want to. to call it to see if you can clear it up maybe a full house mullet no, but look at this wow, what a daring play by daniel look, she goes all in here with only two tens.

I pay, well, the islands will pay with the three nines that he is going to pay. I like him, he's a big favorite here, he's certainly over a three to one favorite to win this pot right now and he wants some justice. He's been playing trash hands all night. Nothing materializes this time. He could give good results. Alan Goering has to do it. dodge an eight, a king and a ten, those are the only cards that can beat him right now, former WBC champion of the year Alan Goering, well he's all smiles right now, Vance, meet a good favorite to win this boat.

I love having my hand raised. and it doubles here, here comes the river and that's a queen. She was favored by more than three to one to win it. She dies screaming and wipes her forehead in relief. The unorthodox Alan Goering is doubling up right now in the game La Poker Classic. You and you will. Back with more information about the World Poker Tour, welcome back to the LA Poker Classic, where seven million dollars in prizes are at stake. 2.4 million dollars for the winner. Let's get to the felt. Steve Simmons right now has king, queen of diamonds, Johner, he's going in. for 200,000 in two JC Tran, who has achieved a pair of fours in the midlife crisis, says that I call him quickly as a rule and I rule out that Allen also retires quickly and now it is about 2 Daniel Quach and he has achieved the pair of aces, the mother of all poker hands. some big hands we're seeing here tonight, CEO Daniel will play aces, one man raised, another man called, you had to pinch yourself when you got two aces in that stand and he'll bet 500,000, he won't play it smart, so I.

He made the same bet that Nimmo made the half maiden with the two aces and it sure paid off for him. He doubled with these two aces. Nemo has a horrible 10. 6 comes out, of course, when Steve says I'll let you play. he leaves and now returns with a JC Tran with 44 that will cost another 300,000 to make this call. Well, he'll call with the two fours, so he'll try to flash the flop and knock Daniel Quach out of this tournament. Let's see if he can do it. It's another huge pot here, well Daniel, happy to have action, believe me, you have two aces, you want, oh yeah, well here we go with the flop, oh, when an ace comes on the flop, strike five comes.

Daniel Quach receives the flop. top set here, he's going to check it, he has to try to sandbag, you know, I love this play and I love it because he's checking an aggressive player, he's put the big piece of cheese in the rat trap, wait until for JC Tran to break up, well what JC? Tran is thinking that maybe this guy has a pair of tens or a pair of queens, maybe if I bet you'll think I have aces and he'll run away, but that would be a fatal mistake on his part right now, JC . Tran player with playing style, can he slow down?

No, he wants a reduction. Well, he's trying to win this pot. Vince is betting 290,000 on the absolute nuts. Obviously, this play isn't going to work, but you get it to the guy's heart for at least. at least make the move and then look at Daniel Quach, who just now did squats with this monster hand, well, right now he's going for one of those little golden statues that you guys have in Hollywood, you know, I mean, look at him, he's a performance without a doubt, I mean your only decision is whether you call here and then check on the turn, wait for your opponent to bet again or whether you go ahead and raise right now, there really is no flush possible.

Oh, and he's just going to pay. I like this play, Vince, I think that's the right play here, thoughtful fool, just yeah, I'm not that strong, but I'm going to call you, here's the turn card, a seven. I'll tell you the hardest part of this hand for Daniel. keeping your poker face on when you just want a smile from ear to ear he'll try to catch again he checks it Oh Vince, I'll tell you JC Tran playing Russian roulette with six bullets in the gun right now he's dead in this hand he's very involved here, will you slow down?

Yes, very wisely, you will slow down. Happens. The only thing he can hope for now is that a four doesn't turn out well. It's a three. Now let's see if Daniels is going to stop by the river to give him one. more chances to bet on this pot if he's just going to keep going, he'll put in some effort, won't he? He's going all-in. I was just hoping JC had something we could match him with, but JC quickly slips out of my hand. Well, then I'll tell you the first time we saw Daniel Kwacha at the World Poker Tour, but I also like his demeanor and the calmness of him at the table.

You know, this guy has some game. It seems to me that I'm already lucky. game I worked for six months and discovered that nights playing poker were not for me. I find it interesting and somewhat easy. His girlfriend Quan Ron in the audience here tonight. This has to be exciting for him. Back to the table. JC Tran. quickly folds in the second round Michael whoo Michael with the ace high here he is going to leave it and now Allen Gehrig with the Queen 10 says I'm going to raise this well, it doesn't take much to raise it, I'll raise it with the Queen 10 here 200,000 ago Daniel Quach He could barely look at his cards due to the enormous amount of chips in front of him.

He's 9 6 and leaving because of the WPT camera Budweiser brought him. We can see that Nemo is now looking at king 10. In a small blind well aware that Alan Garen could raise with any two cards, so he'll take a look at a flop here with king 10, calling the $200,000 bet and Steve Simmons with Motown Jackson 5 is coming out, so here we go. between the two retired businessmen the flop appears queen 7 two alan gary hitting the top pair nemo checks but Alan is not going to force this he passes trying to catch here a little look at the turn the cards are 10 of Hearts making two pairs for Alan Goering Well , also makes a pair of tens and a king.

Our flush draw for Nemo here, so wow, what a turn card, look for some fireworks here. Animo is going to bet because you have to think 210 on the best hand right now, yes, the successful man. from Cyprus betting on a 200 grand event you can't blame him here after Alan checked on the flop you have to think that you have two tens are good here there is no way you can think that Alan has queens and tens right now Oh, one Once again, The Unorthodox Alan Goering might be in a good place right now 200,000 Calling now folks, this shows you how fearless Allen's gear is because there are so many dangerous cards that could appear in the river, but none of that scares to Island Gearing, he's just going to try to camouflage himself. the strength of his hand and the three of clubs come out well, neither player will think that that card helped the other and once again NEMA was going to bite, he will bet that he rents 200,000 naked, 500 in total Allen, has raised $300,000.

Oh, what's not Nemo? He's going to like this, but I guarantee he's scratching his head right now and saying what could this guy have done. He didn't bet on the flop, he actually just called me on the turn and now all of a sudden he's going to raise on the river when the three. of clubs, how could that card help you? It's the kind of raise of just $300,000 in a huge pot that is so seductive but deep down in your heart when you have like tens in this position, okay, no, you should fold, but why? That, Mike, you just can't do it, the chips seem to go in the middle, well, Vance, I guarantee it's curiosity that would make you pay this time.

Oh, I mean, if Nemo leaves this, it'll be a big break, but he. I won't sleep tonight wondering what Alan Goering had in his hand. I can tell you that it's the kind of increase that could make your hair change color and you can see the pain on his face. Oh no, he wants to quit, but he's just curious. He's killing it here, what's Talon doing? If he didn't bet on the flop, he didn't raise on the turn. Suddenly the three of clubs appears in the river and now the guy is going to take me up.

Collect ice. I want look, we have, oh, there it is, he says, I'm just curious, I want to see what you have, you'll hate yourself in the morning, Nemo, well, I'll say one thing about Allan's equipment, he's an extremely unorthodox player, especially one that at the highest level of players in the world and friends, if you want to have fun and see some guys playing a different style of poker, you have it tuned to the right show tonight on the World Poker Tour with Allan Goering and JC Tran at the table he is one of the greats Allan Gary makes me nervous they are like there is a voyeur there my name is Allan Goering some people think I am a professional poker player but for me I still see it as a hobby I won the first The WPT championship at Bellagio seems like ancient history, you know, it's not easy to get to these final tables, most of the big sunglasses have retired, they're on my mantle now, if they buy 50,000, I'll burn, I'm not retired anymore.

Oh Alan Goering is one of a kind, he's very dangerous, you can never give the guy a hard time, and he's not afraid to put money in the middle, so I don't want to choose the ending the same way as Bidam Paris . On the other hand, I didn't want to sit there with a pile of sable chips and end up losing fourth place in the end, so my prediction is that I will finish in first place or with six points, what a brilliant poker player, Alan Goering, you know ? However, I always thought that if they ever needed a third replacement forDarren, the husband of the haunted Alan would be the right guy and with that, it will be Daniel Koch, who has ace eight this time, is in first position in operations to fold in Suspect, Nemo, has the Queen five this time, will disappoint Steve Simmons, quickly placing Queen seven around our man JC Tran, has a big ace and king, well this time he has a hand, Vince Holden and goes all-in. well, he's short on chips Michael Wood comes out with his jackknife but Alan Gary has a good hand King Jack of Clubs 739 that we haven't seen fold in the big blind yet when someone raised in Haiti here JC Tran puts over half a million, right?

Do you really want to call with the King Jack of Clubs here? Well, JC Tran has been busted like a Michael Jackson nose tonight and this is his last chance. He has a good hand. Bad name. Look, Alan calls him Jacy. I've got him down here, it's ace king against king jack and Alan will need Samantha's help to get through this thing he's in. Ace King's bodies, but one thing's for sure, if you learn nothing else tonight, folks, his nerve learn unless you want to play them, don't raise Alan Goering when he's in the big blind clubs.

JC Tran, everything backfires on them, he's finally in a place where you can double up in a nice way if he wins this pod you'll have over a million dollars in chips and you'll be back in the thick of things here if he got bad luck would be our sixth place finisher here's the flop so far so good for JC Tran Queens seven deuces on the flop what 10 makes it interesting I'm Alan Garen I'm still a very good sport smiling face to be more interesting like you I don't want to see that 10 is better than in jail you will have to catch a cat or two cars running to make a straight line and earn this money.

Well, the four clubs are coming, so Alan drops to two outsides to eliminate JC Tran Gracie in great shape to double up and see if he can do it. he can dodge the jack like sweat one more card here he comes yeah he's a guy he's done well JC gives his fans the fist feeling a little bit about himself right now there's a lot of money on the line they should sit there and just appreciate the The fact that we are very fortunate to be able to do this for a living that I have and I see how hard some of these other college students are working at the Buster but making 10 to 15 dollars an hour.

I feel very lucky to be able to play poker here. JC Tran finally having the big hand holding six still left in the Los Angeles polka

Allen, well, he certainly does it quickly, so we already have a boat that has 750 thousand in it and the same two guys. again the two fastest players at the table Allen sets up and JC Tran there it is the flop it's queen nine five Allen gets a piece of that with the nines he checks on the flop middle pair two nines and checks JC Tran checks right behind he is no longer trust time between these two here comes the turn, let's line up and again Allen Gary makes three 9s in one hand, now you would think he would check again and try to catch JC Tran, but Allen does not prepare, he is going to lead and can escape. with these people because no one thinks he has anything so they pay him and JC says no he can't stay so Allen Guerin a little revenge here on JC Tran stays alive his stack never stays the same like some. players, either up or down, after five days and 693 players, we still have six players left in search of the first prize of about 2.4 million dollars.

Allen Goering is going for his second World Poker Tour title tonight, everyone else is going for his first action. about the man originally from Sweden who now lives in Cyprus Nemo looks at the Ace of Four Spades and just goes to limp around with the A's for bums Steve Simmons quickly folds come to Tran, he's got an Ace five of diamonds on horseback, he put it all there outside. it's Michael whoo with the king three right behind him with the button says no no Allen Goering is ten years old but he quickly retreats forward he had JC dominated here and lowered his hand yes he did Daniel Quach place his knife on Nemo right ?

I want to match the rest, there are more than 800,000 in the pot. It cost him three hundred thousand more to match here. No, it's good. Nemo is not in the best place. At four years old, he would face the ace at five. Well, he is not dominated as I would think because many times in This situation would be a split pot when one player has ace fire and the other has ace four, it's terrible. I go while he pays again. JC Tran all in must win this pot to stay alive, over $1.1 million in the pot. and right now Ellen is getting ready saying God it should be in her head both guys beat at 10 well JC Tran and he might post a double block good luck stay tuned we'll be back with the conclusion of his hand in solo a moment, welcome.

Back to the World Poker Tour JC Tran goes ahead with his short stack he's all in with ace 5 against Nemo who called with ace of spades JC Tran sternum and life on the line right now, let's see if his h5 holds oh come on Queen and Jesse raises his arms and his fans applaud he's in great shape right now Wow, so the only way Nemo can win this pot is with a backdoor ladder or a backdoor flush, there's the beauty by JC Tran when flopping a set. Nemo got angry saying while he was sending that extra money in the mail if by chance the race comes Ace or Queen clean they would split the pot but an ace can't come ace Did Alan Goering double one?

Nemo is leaning in many ways right now after looking at him, well the jack of diamonds comes out yeah so he's dying here the fish is going to feed the tranny Jason can win another pot you know he was the leader in chips, he has fought all night, but survives every time you do. You're feeling good, so JC Tran will return to hunting action and focus on thirty-nine-year-old Nemo from Cyprus. Right now he has King Kong in his hand and says everything is fine, he is pulling the trigger here with King Queen Steve. he folds quickly and now JC Tran with a six leads Michael will lead and now Alan Gary has ace queen of clubs to make, could you count it and he's counting them?

Well, Phil Ivey apparently loses all of his money at World Poker. Final table tour with the Queen ace, that's a fact, but let's see what Alan Gary is going to do with his Queen ace. He would love to defeat this man. Nemo, delete it. Alan is a big favorite, but he doesn't know what he's worth. I call, it means, yes. he's going to call it he's doing it he made the call right behind the diamond clock with an irrelevant ten five off the stick it disappears when cheesy Moe isn't going to like the advance there's a good chance the fish will sleep with the fish after this hand looks very disappointing as you see, he is facing the ace Queen right now, the fish on the line, Vance, has a squirt, Moss, the line, if you want to stay alive in this tournament, these are the two retired businessmen, both very well off, are aiming for 2.4 million. plus tonight the largest regular season first prize in the history of the World Poker Tour and the most tournaments in play the flop comes oh what a file for Nemo, we connect the first two pairs, he has moved to a position of great favorite now Alan looks stunned.

His hands will have to catch a good runner. Jack tends to do well to win this pot, so suddenly Nemo, who has only a 30% chance of winning this pot now, is almost a 90% favorite to win it. Here is the turn. card, it's a three of diamonds, that's good, put Nemo, well, a cherry, do I really have to catch an ace on the river to win this pot and get Nemo out of this tournament? You become suspicious, shake that hook, the last card that comes. He survives, yes, he does well. The night of harm comes out. Nemo, the fish, is very lucky.

We still have six players left. Nobody wants to leave this table. Well, we finally had a bad break today and you know who took it. Hey, it's a hole without. This hello, he's delighted, don't mess with a little fish, most players associated Alan Goering with putting bad shots on players, but this is the case where he took the bad shot, Vince, well, Mike, the before and the blinds are raising $20,000 Inez and the blinds on this. The point will be a very considerable amount of 100 and 200 thousand, which means that it will cost these players 420,000 to play a round of poker right now.

You will see a lot of movements in the bets. Now there is action in Daniel Quach. They look at the King with five positions of different suits. all around the mood he looks at a seven of clubs he just doubled the last hand I'm on point two and he goes all in right here he's Steve Simmons behind them he throws ten nine JC Tran has Bix look he's going through up Michael move Allen, go well JC Tran is going to love it he is in a dominant position passion glory up it's over this time love Nemo Nemo whoever shakes his hand we saw Nemo get lucky and stay alive a minute ago against Alan Goering can He did it again.

I miss Jo JC Tran, a three to one favorite. He's not a three-to-one favorite to win this pot, but he's in great shape. Just now JC Tran went down to 300,000 and look at this 10/10 plop because he got two. hits four hearts to JC Tran, so what that means is that even if the seven of hearts comes up, the fish would lose this part because JC Tran would make a flush, so right now, to win the pot, Nemo needs a seven that Don't be a heart that would empathize. the pot of a four came out, the turn card comes, it is a jack of spades, the jack of hearts appears here, we will lose the pot and also Jack will give them a split and the floor, he needs a seven that is not a heart to win the pot and stay alive in the tournament, otherwise Teemo will be a dead fish floating in the river, a card that comes here is fine, that's a two, a club, he didn't do it, so Nemo in the sixth place Nemo, also known as pea. luma JC Tran making sushi with him JC Tran came to this table as the chip leader, he's down to around 400,000, he's built a comeback chef where he's a big chip leader again, yeah, and a very stunned Nemo got up to speak with Courtney.

I've still won $200,000, you're happy about that, yes, I'm always happy, what model of course, and I was good and now people like your nickname and things, Nemo the dog will come back. Nemo very kindly says goodbye, we're done. five players in the La Popa Classic winners will take home 2.4 million, stay with us. We'll be back with more at the World Poker Tour, Commerce Casino and La Poker Classic. I'm Courtney Freeland, here's what's happened so far in the race. For 2.4 million it may be the city of dreams, but this competition has been a nightmare for Swedish player Vito, who has only turned to dust thanks to a double from Sacramento legend JC Tran.

The brother of world champion Team Barry, Allen Goering, has been playing two cards and hitting ups and downs against the routine again there are five players left and 2.4 million dollars for the first the fight for this title is just heating up welcome back We have five players left on the World Poker Tour and one of these guys will take home the largest regular season first prize in the history of the World Poker Tour, a whopping $2.4 million. Well, this is one of the largest prize pools in the history of poker. We're talking about $7 million and we're down. to 5 right now action on Michael whoo got Doyle Brunson's hand ten two of a suit throws it away Allen quickly lowers his hand now round two Daniel Quach with the button has ace two of clubs and has ace high is on the button in position, but remember that the blinds are 1 and 200,000right now, that's HUGE, baby, and it's going to be a half-million dollar bet.

I went up hard in two. Steve leads with nine, three and now JC Tran on the big blunt has a big ace in his hand. Jack of Hearts, he sure has a great hand. Vince, it's also a dominant hand, but he doesn't know it, but let's see what he's going to do with it. You know, one of his problems here is that he's out of position and he's facing the guy who's second in chips behind him right now he's just going to make the call here he takes a conservative route calls half a million here comes the flop well, the flop is queen eight three doesn't help any of the players actions on JC and checks now the one who raised before the flop is activated Daniel Quach didn't get anything on the flop well, there's 1.2 million out there and Daniels is going to try it yes, it is, he is not going to leave his children on the street like Doyle Brunson says players like to do, he goes after Him, that is half a million dollars that they raised before the flop, that keeps him active even though he got nothing on that flop because Team W's key camera brought you Budweiser.

We see that JC Tran has the best hand, the Ace Jack's. Clubs, but if he had called this with half a million fans, his problem is that he didn't take the lead in this hand, yeah, he didn't raise before the flop, he didn't bet on the flop, now I was the opponent's bet and now he's at the height. a strict guess like he's the best one to handle, you don't want to jeopardize your chips with just a high, you don't know what the guys have here, JC is going to let it go, yeah, so once again this hand illustrates the importance of taking the lead when you play Limit Hold'em in In other words, you are the person who is going to be the aggressor in the pot, you are the one who makes the bets, you make more money, not doing that.

In this case we saw Daniel Quat win the pot because he raised before the flop, he bet on the flop. took it Daniel with that pot takes the lead here now he has over 4.4 million in chips very well behind the table Allan Goering takes a look at the nine five goes to Daniel is going to fold his hand and stack his chips and Steve Simmons who has been very calm, goes out and this is going to open a JC Tran that has a pair of sevens, he is going to raise, he does it for 600,000 and look at this, Vince Michael got a pair of nines, this is the situation in which he has state. dreaming of this final table, now let's see if he can pull the trigger while keeping all the echoes.

Well, you're not going to throw two nines against the other blind. I can tell you Tran, just put it in right now, the dance is going to cost you. he will get a little over 1.3 million more to make this decision. He's going to have to play a tough game here. I know Michael, who is a very strict conservative player, Michael will be a strict player, he is an understatement, the guy hasn't played at Hanson's. The happy days went out of the air when he had had no letters. He faces aggressive players at the table, but now he himself has a great chance to double down.

JC Tran makes this decision. Michael remembers his family and friends at the game. he signs Vance, held up three fingers, that's a W for Wu's man, JC Tran, Tina's in a jam, she calls, she's going to make a call. JC Tran has made the call and Michael will love it. Look at him you seem excited you can't get your money and anyone here so there is no Lemon Hold'em where you have pearl repair he is in a dominant position a happy moment for Michael Wolfe he is a big favorite to win his place at least four to one to do it, so he has a chance to double Well, let me, you can't really fall in love with JC Tran for playing there.

Vince Michael could easily make that play with Ace Jack, Ace 10 or Ace 9, given the circumstances, although JC Tran is against it, here comes the flop, big flop for Michael. Wow, it comes 10 10 8, so both players have to match. Michael, of course, has top pair and is in phenomenal shape to win this pot. The only way JC Tran can win this pot is by catching 7 and now he won't even do that. help him, it's over Michael, oh he's going to double up, it's over, there's no card case I can catch where you can win this pot, how sweet that is, that's the icing on the cake, you don't even have to sweat the last almost four millions of dollars. the pot doesn't count down in a moment since the LA polka classic welcome back to the World Poker Tour you're watching the la Poker Classic and Michael Wu just doubled up and almost has the chip lead now Vince former vice president of cosmetics makes it happen here this tonight the action will fall to Steve Simmons right now JC comes out good with a button nine two good Michael going back to his conservative mode now Alan Goering in the small blind with the 6-3 hearts says I'm not calling him I'm going to give a blind, no why Daniel Quach behind him with King five, he has a choice and I want to see Alan with a stack of chips, now he checks, so we're going to have a flop here, well, the flop is king nine, two, good flop. for Daniel here, he flopped top pair Alan Goering had six hi, he is betting the total ransom on coach Daniel over with top pair he has the two kings and there is no action made by Alan equipped, he leaves his hand, he tried to steal from him It didn't work that time, but dad, you have to respect the man's decision, no matter his stack, he doesn't bury his style of play, he stays aggressive, he goes after pot after pot, this is something you just can't teach . the way Alan Goering plays must be born with that.

All the right actions will fall to our man Alan Goering. He has a couple of quality pocket jacks connected. I'm all in for 80, let's go ahead with us, yeah, 80, he's betting. all 485 Daniel Quach behind him with eight five out Steve Simmons out JC Tran with King three out we're close to Michael, wow, now he's got 200,000 in the big blind, much more it'll cost him a few hundred thousand more, to call, but around a million dollars in the pot, but you're not going to like it when you see what the worst hand you could have is facing a man whose opponents have two jacks, he has a jack six offsuit, so right now Alan Gearing slapped me with a 90.% favorite to win this pot and do the devil and stay alive in this competition here comes the flop it's a king king queen it's actually a good flat for Michael because the Queen would give him a split of this pot now it's true so he has three hours to get a rim of this pot he'll have to run six six for him to win it right a helper comes out and a queen would tie him where he split the pot with Michael Woo and believe me, that's what the blue man does. is looking for a lovely lady at the moment, well Jack comes up ringing Gary, makes Jack full of kings, he will take this pot and just like John, in both events he stayed alive, always great to see very cunningly to the brilliant prostitute wise with her opportunity. in a second WPT title here tonight and right now the action will be on Steve Simmons Steve folds and oh look, JC Tran has picked up Godzilla's pair of aces, can you believe it?

He loves this right now and goes up. at $600,000 with that like a wool coming out I'm all-in and Alan Carroll look at this with a pair of fives everything has been overdone in that music the JC Translators I can tell you that Daniel puts his eight do it Back to JC, yes, with the two five from the quick lemon hand and believe me Vance, he's speeding up a lot right now and JC Tran just put the badge on him, I've got him covered, buddy, indifferent, he stabbed him if the little pair expected them to be. good weather JC would throw in the hand, but unfortunately for Allan he ran into a brick wall.

Vance JC Tran with the 5000 bone tool more than just because, yes, I know, but how can I not talk about one of the biggest prizes in the world? Poker Bar story None 2.4 will go to the winner and this type of pot will dictate who will take it well both players eagerly waiting for the flop here oh it comes 9 7 deuce all spades oh that's great potosi Tran, you talk about climbing Pikes Peak right now, that It is what Alan Goering is trying to do and do it well barefoot, it is a great possibility, two cards are missing, but it is like the last drop of water in the bathtub with the stopper removed, Bansi, it is going down. out of the drain hole comes a two I gave him another one he needs the extreme miracle Alan Goering on the respirator right now he's going around the drain cart beats JC incredible they're going to suck me in the river now I know everyone's watching this Joe says oh Well I have crack aces, well it may happen in your new home game, but where to make the final table at the world fortress Jason, we are talking about literally a two million dollar difference between the next player out and the who wins the tournament and unfortunately for JC Tran, he meows and fifthly, he ran out of the arena into the darkness of the Commerce Casino, there he is, he's pacing back and forth.

This is just one of the most devastating blows ever taken by the river card in the WPT, where they are counting. the chips up to make sure that Alan Goering has more chips on JC, there were practically equal chips and even if JC had some Vince left, I'm not sure he would have put an e on the next hand covered by five, do you have me? covered? Well, it turns out that Alan has it for one or two chips, so that will be enough for JC Tran and what a way to go out, get all your money with two A's and pre-flop and leave him devastated and Vince, look.

I've never seen anyone so sad on the World Poker Tour leaving the arena, so JC Tran is going to go up and talk to Courtney right now, we need to take a break, stay tuned, we'll be back at the La Poker Classic. We'll be listening to what JC has to say in a moment, stay with us, welcome back to the LA Poker Classic in this Van Patten alongside Mike Sexton Rance. It was brutal, how majestic Tran a on the occasion when he ran in days at the final table in a big way. pots finally put him in a monster pot where he's going to be the big chip leader, he got it, that's poker, let's see what Courtney has and see what Jesse has, this Courtney, thanks to JC, it was such a bad hit that I don't even know.

I know what to say right now well, me neither, I mean, I thought I had it for sure, I mean, but you never know, in this game it doesn't end until a little bit, do you feel that aces are sometimes more bad luck and good luck? luck, no, not really, I mean, I did well with AC, so I'll take it to the end, no, you know, we all know that when you play poker, you take bad hits, you suffer some pain, but as long as JC lives Tran. I doubt he'll ever take a worse hit than that one where he could have literally cost him two million dollars in real money.

Let's go back to the table now. Daniel Quach is the first to act and he has landed a pair of wired eights here, well just a good hand in a four-handed poker game 600, it's going to raise, it's 600,000 to enter Steve Simmons with friends picked up a pair of Wired sevens himself only had one other hand at this final table when he had two queens against Nemo. Jackson won a nice pot, now he has a pair of sevens and is facing two eights, but he doesn't know it. Vince, oh what a lie from Steve Simmons, that's the play of the week, now around Allen Garyun, now he's. picked up the ace queen in the big blind, how many players would simply check to the top with the ace queen in this spot?

Allen Gary opted to see a flop first almost $1.4 million in the pot and here it comes the flop is 6 for 4 Allen checks well This is a good flop for Daniel and then once again he has top pair than the three cards on the board. Baileys is going to bet 800 thousand with the two eights without blinking. Alan Goering calls it with this e ace. unbreakable queen here Mike, we saw this before protect those high cards almost three million dollars in this pot here we go with the turns of the three of swords Salman checks Alice and look at this Daniel goes all-in after Alain checked oh he's taking the move away from Alan, well, Alan is looking back, he would like to get this flush for nothing, but instead, he will have to put all his chips in there to make this hand.

Will it be able to withstand the heat? No, he can't, so Daniel Koch is going to win this. pot I can't show you stealing TVs na+ guarantee I think for another 600,000 to 800,000 Alan Goering could have made that call look at this fence the wonderful camera shows that Spade would have raised Highland Goering would have won that pot with a flush so What a move by Daniel to get them out of this hand. Wow, Mike, to get this far in a WPT tournament, you have to know when to make a move and when to stay low. It's all about bringing your best game to the table if you If you're one of the many players who feels like you need help getting your game in shape, then it might be time to sign up for a poker bootcamp like our own Courtney, at this week's wpte Kadim e so you know when to hold them, but are you sure you know when to fold to be successful in a poker tournament?

You need an arsenal of tricks like those developed in a poker bootcamp. What is the goal of poker? The goal of poker is to make correct decisions and this will determine whether you're going to be a winning player or a losing player and if you make enough correct decisions you will be a winning poker player in training camp. It's truly a no-holds-barred attitude. I learned about strategies and psychologies that I never imagined existed andIf you want to play any ace in any position or want to play two cards of the same suit, it will be better for you and more profitable in the long run to place some of those.

You could sit at home and read a poker book, but nothing. It's better than getting advice directly from the professionals. One of the instructors sits at each table and watches the players play and then when they are done with the hand they can walk away from the table. The instructor can say: Look, this is what happened here. what you did right this is what you did wrong a razor if there is one thing I have learned confidence is the name of the game I think I have more knowledge of Texas Hold'em than anyone in the world and that is why I am I will give you great information when Whatever you do the bell tower, they always have their hand and less blink around their mouth and that's a great thing.

I have fun when I'm there telling my own war stories, you know, and that's what we do. What I did at Camp Hellman from training camp with caching three events and I have the opportunity to participate in some dynamic action among millions here from the Commerce Casino and the ante and blinds are going up $30,000. Inez, the blinds are a whopping 150 and $300,000 reais is going up. be on Daniel King's chip route nine I'm not going to risk any chips here leave the hand then on the button Steve Simmons has jack 10 Mullen says all in he didn't play two sevens in the previous hand this hand is going all in with Jack high, who folds a king 10 very quickly, now Alan Goering in the big flat in the Jack of Hearts pack, that raise is much more than half of Alan Goering's stack.

Size will be a very difficult decision for Alan. in my opinion here Alan is going to make Bill Murray look like Bill Murray here sweaty look at him stare at him trying to read his man well that's notice Steve looking back at him trying to look strong and in poker when you try to to looking strong usually a weak when you look weak usually your strong and lasting will you get it Steve is just praying for him to go to bed please go he's advanced no he's going to make this call can you believe it? Alan Gary's Cole can't even believe it right, he's notI'm going to like him at all Steve just shakes his head and steps aside saying I can't believe this guy is calling me I'm the strict player at the table, I'm supposed to You had to respect me, damn it, just put a king there and let's go. everyone raises the money, well Alan Goering is a three to one favorite to win this pot.

I don't want to tell you the bad part, what is that? He retreated with a king's move. I think now look at the teams there. chatting with him, look at them, they're on Alan's side right now because they win a quarter of a million dollars in real money if his hand goes up and they get Steve out of here, so yeah, they're rooting for Alan, I'm not hesitate. Well, right now Steve Salmon, independent, he has to get lucky, he won't, it's already five, four, three, he has to catch a 10 to win this pot now and remember we saw Michael Ruth throw a 10, look at this, But nothing more.

Jack out there, well, the art of six comes out, now Steve jumps in again, he knows it's a good card for me, it gives him eight more outs where he can stay alive in this tournament, they would split the pot of a two or seven, come up and believe me. Steve Simmons will be jumping through hoops right now to split this pot this is a guy who entered this tournament for the $1000 satellite the 2.4 million dollar dream it all comes down to this car here okay it's a queen it's all the phone so Alighieri's King Jack is going to overtake Steve Simmons for fourth place, they take three hundred and thirty-eight thousand dollars, but he's still wondering how Allen Gary could make that happen to me and you just have to wonder during that look down or something.

Otherwise, Steve got Alan to listen to the events. Could you read it that he will give Alan such a good audition to make that call in that place? We are ready to play, players, stay tuned, we will cover again for more information about World Poker. Tour, this may be hard for me, but go ahead, like Michael Woo. I don't know anything about Michael's work. I don't know anything about Daniel Quad. You're laughing, it's no laughing matter. Welcome back to the World Poker Tour. We're seeing it all tonight, great emotion, great drama and certainly a great attraction, Vince and for a lot of money, well, it's real pain and hate in Los Angeles here tonight and we're down to three players.

The action will be on Michael Wu, this time called Rey. nine of clubs they're just going to call him well, limp on the button with king nine of clubs Alan Goering says I'm going to call he has 10 7 Daniel quartz with queen 4 offsuit says okay, give us a flop so we have a three-way action here comes the flop the flop is queen 9 3 Daniel flop top pair Michael exchanges second pair Allen checks Daniel Quach quickly checks top pair on Michael here 6 well they both check - Michael boo is going to bet 600,000 and is going to calculate 2 knives are good when they both pass two events Allen quickly folds his hand early and what is this Daniel coming out on top with the Queen?

What a nice play by Daniel here in case his opponents with a flush get a straight, he's going to make him pay and if he actually has a pair of nines or some other pair, he's going to make him call again, take him out here, we're not going to get something, make sure, oh sure. No, I need a real Nate. Can you trust anyone? At the poker table, so what will I show you? You will see it somehow. Michael's two children at home. Thanks Dad. He throws that hand away. Don't do it right. He does it on Google.

Down there, for Michael. Go ahead and look at this. The gentleman friend shows him the queen and what was interesting Daniel said I have a great hand I will show you well Vince in the rules of poker you can say generic things like I have a good hand or be careful with this guy but if you tell them your exact hand you can get a penalty and vocht on you you can lie about your hand you can't tell the truth that's how weird the rules are well action on Michael Wool with the button this time look he's connected a pair of fives a million, well he'll bet a million dollars to two fives, a small considerable increase.

Alan Gary with six threes leads around Daniel Quach, looks at King Queen, he's in the big blind, it'll cost him another seven hundred thousand. a call here he knows Michael who is a very solid player he hasn't made many moves here if any tonight Holly we are all in he takes the option to move he is going to pressure a local Michael Wu now pressing him he is putting This shows slightly big decision right here for Michael Wu because that's what so much money in the pot means. I'd be surprised if he puts it down and looks at this, his hands are on his head, it looks like he's praying to the poker guys, right?

Now come on, just once, help me make the right decision. Here I call, he will call them and the winner is that you made the right decision. Vance, yeah, he should be proud of that as he walks away to watch his wife Connie, literally a 1.6 million dollar difference between the guy who comes out next and the guy who wins this tournament, the bullies, a slight favorite for win this, at this point, he would become the chip leader if his five stayed here, came first. three oh, it's coming, Queen says and then you'll give him the fifth and high five the fans, he's in front and Michael, who knows he's in dire straits right now, will have to catch a five on the turn of the river. to win this pot boom for Michael, wow, this is brutal.

Two more cards are missing. They don't want to see clean nature or a dead draw in the river. Here is the turn card. It's tennis speed. Daniel, look, you just understood it. Five that's all, but remember that a five is a magic card, that's how Gary stays alive in this tournament. Could we see a five in the river again to keep a boy alive? Here we go, it's fun to see, here we go, no pizza. three yes, so Daniel Watch is going to win the pot and local Michael Woo is going to be eliminated in third place, but it's a pretty good racing life for a guy who wants to sound like he's in this tournament that Michael is taking home . five hundred and seventy one thousand three hundred and fifteen dollars meanwhile hug Daniel Quartz he is the chip leader playing heads up for this title the beauties of the trade come out with a good cast as is customary on the World Poker Tour we Let's go to the head to head game face, we have our money presentation, just ridiculous, silly money placed on the plates on the felt, you can look at that cash, actually, each one of those piles represents one of the losing players.

We're going to return it, not exactly well. In the round there is about three and a half million dollars on the table, that's what these two guys will split. The winners, he will become a multimillionaire, the runner-up, a millionaire and his own Courtney Friel, who will come out with WPT poker. chips, there you see Tim Gustin, the casino manager here at the Commerce Casino smashing that beautiful Remington trophy, who will be defeated in this head-to-head. Stay tuned, we'll be back soon for more on the World Poker Tour, so here we go. The hand-to-hand battle is about to begin.

Will our boldness capture his second WPT title or will Daniel Quach get his first? One of the largest prize pools in gaming history. The shares must be in Allen. He looks down at a 10-7 where he is. the button in position and he'll call Vince now back to Daniel he's got a seven four of diamonds yeah you can see a free flop here and that's what he'll do pretty mediocre hands on the first hand let's see if we see an awesome flop when the flop is jak3 deuce Daniel received a very nervous flop and checks, he was the first to act, yes, and Alan checked and right behind him, so here we go to the turn card and the diamond 90 comes out.

Daniel has made it color. Alan has a flush draw call Daniel checks the flush, we saw a little rope on him as we say Vance, yeah, he's going to try to let Alan hang here on a very aggressive player as a draw hand, as we say, but he has to catch the color to win. this medley - and he's going to bet 400 thousand here he just can't help it he sees something he steals he does it but we know he's running into a monster here Daniel Quach with the flush of 1 million he's going to raise turns it into a million dollars so who is coming out on top for 600,000 more, well he's getting very greedy here, he might want to take all his chips in one hand, but will he scare away Alighieri?

Well, it's not that big of an increase with all the money that's out there. almost a mate and a half in the pot and he's raising to 600,000 trying to lure Alan into the pot, but I'm not going for that, let's take a look at the hammer of wonders and see if he would have won the pot. Well, it's a couple of parts that would have had a diamond for you to win and it didn't. We played a good game there. He wanted to see the river card, so Alan Goering escaped that in the Meanwhile, Daniel Quartz is building his chip lead here, he has almost 10 million dollars in chips, now the accent goes back to him, well, look down, 8-6 offsuit, he has the chip lead, he has position, but he also has a difficult opponent in his hand. he's going to limp, he's going to call with it, now he's on Alan, he's got a huge hand of kings, wait, he sure is and when he catches it, he usually gets action on him, 700 total and he's raising 400k here.

It's a very artistic raise because now that there is a million dollars in the pot, he will cost his opponent four hundred thousand to call, so he has a good eye on his money and that is the difference between Alan Goering and many other players. . he would just make a big raise right there and win the pot with the two kings right away Alan Goering is not that style of player Daniel wants to try betting here get lucky and hit a flop oh that's what Alan Goering is doing right here up front, More than a four to one favor to win this pot right now, but anything can happen on the flop, let's see what goes well.

The flop comes 10 10 9 Alan has top pair. Daniel, the straight shot, straight draw and Alan checks with two kings. here you know they are trying to get their opponent to bite but Daniel doesn't, they both check, he takes the free car to try to catch him, let's see if we can make it, he is looking for a 7, he comes up with a 4. I didn't get it again Alan chicks and another time Daniel chick so for the second time he gets a free car to try to make a straight the five come out back there one who is short a million dollars you can throw the books when I talk about Ellen worrying but somehow she gets out with his, he's so good, let me tell you something, if he puts his second WPT title on his mantle tonight, a lot of players will change their style and be watching this tape of Alan. over and over again and I think Daniel may be thinking that he's folding his hand or beating a bold play that would be, he's never going to call with 6/8 and it was actually a good hand, Daniel, right? know who's playing it's still head to head classic battle it's good stay tuned we're returning from the LA Poker Classic here on the World Poker Tour welcome back to Commerce Casino the LA Poker Classic at Fitz Van Patten with Mike Sexton two players left and the before and the blinds are raising $50,000 before the blinds are 250 and 500,000.

The retired businessman from WallStreet's Alan Goering attempts to capture his second World Poker Tour title. Daniel Quach, looking for the first action from him, will be Daniel, yes, he has a 7. -3 in hearts and position, well, he limped last time and Alan Geary raised, look what he's going to do this time. 1.5 Wow, he's playing big, a million and a half scream bet now from Allen Gary. I have King Queen, okay, I'm totally fine and Daniel Kwacha won't like to hear those words. It's going to cost Vince about four million more to make this call and I don't see that there is any possible way for him to do it.

Let's say with a seven three, well, Daniels had to be talking himself saying wait a second, how did you know he was a little weak? I mean, Alan just takes his neck and puts his head in a vise and starts squeezing in there, yeah, Steve Simmons says the same thing. Vince came in and out, I called him with King Jack, if you remember, yeah, here Alan makes the play with king queen, well, it's kind of a time saver here, but Daniel Quach and then he rinses with that jackpot, the count of chips now is approx. even now I'm taking another step towards capturing a second wAPT title and joining that elite group of winners here at the Poker Classic talking about Gus Hansen Antonio Esfandiari and Michael the Grinder MS Rocky, all three great players who are going to be great. fame and fortune who will be tonight the actions will fall to Allen this time a king 10 off suit here is another case where most players would raise this hand in a heads up situation Allen Goering simply calls, never makes the obvious Daniel Quach with 10 7 of spades right behind him and he's going to check takes a free flop here now the flop is ace ace two doesn't help any of the players Daniel checks and Alan checks right behind him not funny there's a card flipped that appears now comes the queen of clubs out Daniel passes again Alan with the straight shot draw passes right behind him they are going to play this gently in the river well none of the players have a stick in their hand the four spades reach the river well Daniel just waves the white flag reverse hot talon surrender, he'll take him down with King high here and a fairly passive set of Daniel Quartz there, well you can't trust Alan either.

I mean, he's so sneaky that he might be setting traps, so he makes sure to overthink that moment. I think that goes against Daniel, well, here's the difference. Vince Daniel went to a high ten. He promises you that if Alan couldn't get ten high, he would go to bed on that boat to pick him up. Sometimes you have to force the action and win your pots. The actions have to be in Daniel. and Daniel looks at Ace Jack this time, well, here's a big hand, look how he's going to play it and I feel like he's been outplayed a little so far in this heads-up Holly, oh oh, he's betting the six million, he's going to bet everything. with the ace Jack Allan Goering looks down at King eight there is no end for Daniel anymore look I call which makes the caller only King eight I don't agree with this move miss, it's taking all night to get the chip who is leading the battle hand to hand and now Suddenly, he will put 5.8 million dollars there by collaborating with King Ace.

It's different if you move with a King Aid instead of paying with it. I couldn't take it anymore and Allen says he called him because he couldn't. Taking it any longer means longevity of the match, well Vince, the billionaires are getting tired, that's what means he's going to try to end it right here. Stephen, good luck right now. Daniel, a two to one favorite to win this class. he stopped anyway, what was that?, where was a good job? McDaniel's crotch will be in perfect shape if his hand stays high and doubles here he will have around 12 million in chips his opponent will only have two million left so there is a critical pot here but if Alan Garin is lucky in Wednesday's pot, he will be the champion and capture a second World Poker Tour title.

Well, we have a couple of millionaires waiting to see who will be the definitive champion. Five cards are missing. We have ace Jack on King eight. Look. this flop is Queen Jack 9, that's good, but Daniel holds on to the pair of generous tears to take the lead in this part now he will have to catch a kangaroo ten, there is no other card he can catch, take the lead in this pot, Look. does a silly dance dancing around he's carefree he has to catch a card or two a king or a ten oh we have a Kang out Alan Goering is taking the lead look at Daniel he said good catch and now Daniels has to catch now Daniel has to catch an ace , a jack or a ten.

Vince has three trapped cards to win this pot. Any other letter. I'm getting a beer champion which was a sick card. Here comes the liver seven and that goes. to do it Gary, two-time World Poker Tour champion, well, that's right, the player of mass destruction, oh, I'm on the guy, psychic man, it's a bit for six million dollars with a king, a doll with such indifference : this is the case where I like role playing games at the right time here it worked theater champion now let's talk to our champion two time winner on the World Poker Tour mr.
