mercury dining room and rail

- [voiceover] from turningstone resort in upstate new york this is poker night in america. (exciting jazz music) - welcome to pokernight in america! we're at turning stoneresort in upstate new york. i'm chris hanson, andthat's joe stapleton. - hello, my babies. things have calmed downa bit testosterone-wise, but shaun deebkeeps things moving

with a healthydisregard for money. - i'll get 20,000 inpretty wide with you. - and joe mckeehenshows everyone what a future worldchamp looks like, other than a hobo. - he can't go to thefinal table like that. - i'm pretty sure i can. i do need new sneakers. - new sneakers, yes, yes.

- [deeb] seriously, yougotta see these things. - [thomas] i'm gonnalet you borrow these. - look at travell's,showing off the kicks. - i'm getting molested again! what is going on? (laughing) - look at these things! - [thomas] he just wona million dollars! - look at them.look at that bottom!

- [chris] we'rekicking off day two here at turning stone resort. one of the new playerswho's sitting down is dominick christiano,he is a online qualifier. welcome to the fun, dominick. - [joe] that explainswhy he's only in for five thousand, what'smatt glantz's excuse? - i actually think travellshould be your stylist for the main event finaltable.

- [travell] i should be. - [joe] looks like thestraddle's on for the qualifier. is travell thomas shirtless? ♪ joe-meister,joe-meister, sweat pants ♪ - [joe] celebratingthat american right to bare arms, i guess. - joe told me he's notmaking shirts for his rail. - really? - [thomas] you're not gettin'shirts? what's wrong with youbro?

- [mckeehen] i'm all good. - this guy, man. - i think they're makingdifferent color shirts for the levels and (bleep). - [chris] matt glantz willpop the first raise up to 300 with ace, king of clubs. - how can he not makeshirts for his rail? - why'd you do that?- it's part of the fun of it. - people can dowhatever they want.

- [joe] of course mckeehen'snot gonna have t-shirts, he's getting bathingsuits, for his mckeenie's. mckeenie's bikinis. - i got a lot of offers froma lot of people about shirts. i'd rather have peoplelike, wear what they want. - [deeb] that's the faceand the shove, i know. i know you're shoving, matt. - i don't wanna let youoff too easy by shoving. - [thomas] i'm in vegas,we're gonna find you a nice bmw

while you're down there. - you gonna make it 21? - no, a little bit more,so it's like shoving, but then it will let you,allow you to shove. - there's a lotof money in this. - bigger than second placeright now. that's insane.- nobody can affrod a piece ofthat. - how many big blinds? - do i have?- yeah.

(laughing)- like 160 or something. - he was hoping you weregonna pull it back. - matt has aces, iknow he has aces, and i'm still gambling with him. - i don't have aces. - you have kings? - no, i have no pair. - [joe] these twoare going to insist on slow-rolling each other,

so they won't knowwhat each other has until the boards run out. oh, we're showing an ace, and a king! - [thomas] you gonnaslow-roll or you gonna flip? - [glantz] hewants to slow-roll. - that's what i'mplaying, the jack. - oh, he has jacks. - [joe] shaun's just gonnashow his one live card.

- i think shaun's tellingthe truth this time. come on, two diamonds. put two diamonds out there. - [thomas] you mightneed to issue a king. (table chatter) - [joe] that is not agreat flop for two diamonds but it's a decent turn. - or a deuce, or a deuce.or a nine. - king! king!- diamond.

- there we go! - [chris] oh, come on!- [joe] how? - how much you have?(laughing) - [thomas] don't take themoney 'til he shows his -- - king of diamonds? - [joe] glantz doesn'teven know he's lost yet. - you think i would get it inwith king, jack, diamonds? - i would bet hehas jacks for sure. but if he has adiamond it kinda sucks.

- [chris] he wasasking how much it is. - [glantz] should i push itover to you? - [chris] as in, he's wonderinghow much he has to pay him. - [joe] they just paid. what is happening? - he's slow rolling guys,someone's gotta pay. - push it over to him. - [chris] wait a second.- [joe] oh! - [joe] so close to beingthe most amaing slow-roll ever.

if only he had turnedthe card over right. - matt was so convincedi had jacks, too, that was the best part. - the ace of diamonds,so brilliant. - [chris] that's notthe first time, and it probablywon't be the last, that you see mattglantz getting felted on poker night in america. - i'm always a targetwhen i'm playing poker

because i dish it out, so ihave to be able to take it. - normally, in a pokergame there's ethics about not talking during a hand. we just threw thatout the window. this is poker night in america,we do whatever we want. - we just try to beat eachother while we're at the table, and we're all friendsoff the table, so when we're atthe table we try to beat each other's headsin, that's what it is.

- glantz is a pillow,he's the easiest target. - [chris] wait a second, travellthomas just put a shirt on? - [joe] well theregoes the female audience. - [chris] and i did just buy two tickets to thegun show, as well. goll dang it.- [joe] non-refundable. - [deeb] dentale,you ready to join us yet? - [dentale] yes. - you're on the list?

- [deeb] okay. - [joe] hey look,it's beardy mcweirdy. - [glantz] he'ssecond up behind rep, because rep busted first. - [chris] richard anthonyis raising with six-five. richard anthony, don'tyou know who the man in the orange flyers shirt is? that's joe mckeehen, son. - [joe] richardanthony appears

to give zero you-know-whats. i like the c-bet, it's notgonna work against ace-king but sometimes you get calledyou make your hand on the turn and six-five ispretty disguised. - [chris] alright, sohere we go to the turn. well, now anthony's got somehelp with that turn card. - [joe] yeah,he's up and down now, and like i said before, sometimes the secondbarrel will get it done.

of course, still notagainst ace-king. - [chris] one of the handsthat, hypothetically, mckeehen would bescared of here? - [joe] he's maybeafraid of some sets and some weird two pairs, but it's all pretty unlikely. - [chris] anthonymisses his draws and mckeehen makestwo pair on the river. - all in.

- [chris] and anthony justtotally ships it in here on theriver. "5800, i'm all in." - [joe] i didn't evenhave a chance to say after i get stationed twice, i'm probably gonnagive up on the river, - it's like 6 thousand. - [joe] and dick anthony justshipped it all in. and i don't knowanything about this guy and how likely he isto be bluffing here.

- i call.- you win. - [joe] just a very easy callfor joe mckeehen, top two pair. - what took you so long? - [joe] like i said, veryunlikely that he's beat there. good call, joe. - [chris] i really wonderif joe would have called if he didn't make twopair on the river, though. - [thomas] shaun said"what is you waitin' on?" - [joe] i thinkhe still might have.

you gotta wonder if he'd call if he wasn't gonna win ninemillion dollars in a few months. - [chris] above it, that isthe main question, if he's like "i don't care,call, eh, whatever." - what were you consideringon the river when he bet? i'm just curious. - i just wanted toknow, i didn't know -- - he was counting exactlyhow much he was going to win. he had to count hisstack before calling.

so he could say 5825. - i'm just wondering, whatoptions were you considering? - was that sometype of slow-roll? - i'm putting on a show so,everyone that's watching will try to bluff mein the future, okay? - [chris] for more from pokernight, visit pokernight.com or find us on twitch,facebook, twitter or you tube, where you can seecomplete episodes and unedited live streams.

- welcome back to poker night. that's joe stapleton,i'm chris hanson. let's return to the action. stapes, how longwould it take you to grow a beardlike christiano has? - [joe] three, four days. depends how hard iwas concentrating. - [thomas] do me a favor,stack the deck towards me. - [chris] i don't thinkif i lived to be 100

i would get to havea beard like that. - i'm the only oneyou really know. - he's known me forlonger than you. - [chris] matt glantz,up to 150 with threes. - [travell] youbeen playin' here, or y'all just reallyknow each other? - been playing here.- [dealer] i just babysit him. - [thomas] how do youall know each other? - just from here.

- [thomas] oh, from here?you started here at 18, too? - [chris] hansoncalls, anthony calls. - oh, let's juice itup for you, matty. - [chris] so five playerswill see the flop together. - [joe] and bart hanson flopsbottom two pair, checks it. - [thomas] i've got twohorses left in the tournament. - [joe] and richardanthony's gonna think he has the best hand. little does he know...

- [thomas] you know i'ma master at horses. - [joe] you know all thesepeople talking about horses? if they wanna winmoney they should try to bring people into thetournaments instead of horses. - [chris] they don'teven have thumbs. how are they supposedto look at the cards? - [joe] they can'tpeel the cards, exactly. i like bart's raise there a lot. anthony's mostly goingto have an ace here,

and he's not likelyto fold if he does. like i said, toppair, not folding. - [chris] the turn's a five. - [joe] that is a reallysafe card for eight-ten. so bart should be able tofollow up that flop raise with a bet here very easily. anthony's hand, fairly faceup as an ace at this point. - how much you got? 5000 behind-ish.

- a little under.- [hanson] 47. - [chris] 2100, thebet from hanson. - [joe] and from whati've seen of anthony so far, he seems to bereluctant to fold. either that or hejust hates money. this is a prettygood run-out for bart, he should be able to go forthree full streets of value, raise, flop, bet,turn, bet, river, and he went a littlebit less this time

relative to the size of the pot. gets called, really well played by bart hanson the whole way. - [chris] i don't thinkthere's maybe a dime more that he would'vegotten out of that. - [joe] he justplayed it perfectly, and my guess isthat richard anthony is the most popular playerat the table right now. - [chris] this isusually where somebody

will offer to buy himdinner if he wants to stay. - [joe] (laughs) doyou need a hotel room? - [chris] bart hanson thistime with pocket queens. - [thomas] man, my man comin' after the tmister, man.i gotta put a stop to this. - i raised yourstraddle last time. - (bleep)! - you folding? you wanna telleveryone else on the table? or do you just wanna throw yourcards in the middle already?

- [thomas] no, i'm a re-raise,i'm a re-raise. - [chris] the actionson alec torelli he's been pretty quiet so far here onday two at turning stone. and apparently he wasbored, because he's raising with three-four of hearts. - [joe] torelliis squeezing here, like a month-oldtube of toothpaste and it's a goodhand to do it with. if you get foldsbefore the flop,

very happy about that. if not, there's somepretty cool disguised hands you can make withsuited connectors. and he's in position. - you start withnine or something? - i think i started with 10-11. this is 10, so i got 11behind, so i started with 12. - [joe] alec torelli definitelyknows what he's doing. - [chris] everythingwe've seen from alec

on poker night in america hasbeen just rock-solid poker. winning in every session. - [joe] and bart'sno slouch either, he's a really goodcash game player, he's been teaching it for years. pay attention to what he does if you want yourcash game to improve. and he just calls with queens. i think it's because heknows alec's pretty likely

to be squeezingthere, he doesn't want to chase him out of the pot. and torelli doesmanage to flop a pair, but my guess is he's gonnarep this ace regardless. bart's probablynot folding for just one bet. the problem is that heknows whether he's up against an ace or not, he'sgonna be facing more barrels. - [chris] i alsonoticed that shaun deeb immediately to barthanson's right,

is paying very close attentionto how he is playing. - [joe] twovery good players, you'd behoove yourselfto pay attention. - [chris] and what aturn for alec torelli. - [joe] torelliwent from bluffing to being able to value betin the turn of one card. - [chris] that is anice gear to shift into, from hoping to knowing. - [joe] yeah.

and that's a bad card forbart because it's a diamond. puts more wheelpossibilities out there, but it looks like a badcard for him, which is good. and bart's got nodiamond, no straight draw, this is a big bet from torelli. he's probably convincedhimself at this point that bart's got an ace andwill call this big bet. and even if bart calls here, i think there's very fewrivers he'll call on.

- [chris] well, hanson'snot done with this hand yet, he calls the 3200. over 11k in the potas we go to the river. - [joe] thatboard doesn't get much worse for either hand. - [chris] hanson checksand torelli is all in. - hey, tk, are we gettin' pizza? - [joe] pizza dude! - i just want sausageon there or something.

- [joe] order a hawaiianand watch all these east-coasters' heads explode. bart gets awayfrom it, well done. - you got awaywith them there. - [joe] i think aleccould have played the exact same wayif he was bluffing. - [alec] nobodyever believes me. - i believe you. - [joe] i would foldthere every single time,

but i would be wrong a lot. - matt can confirmi believe you. - [alec] two believers.three believers. he folded. - [tom] how much is it? i'm not kidding.- i got like 20 grand. - [tom] seriously,how much is it? - oh, this is going tobe great (bleep) tv. please record this.

- [chris] poker night inamerica at turning stone resort. he's joe stapletonand i'm chris hanson, and these are poker players. - [joe] (laughs)yes they are. some of them at least. i'm not gonna saywhich ones aren't. straddle's on matt glantz,putting in a 100 bucks blind. he'll be last to act pre-flop, and with shaun deeb raising,this is very likely

to be a glantz-deeb battle. i love this online qualifier, it's like he was eatinga jarful of honey and fell face-downin a barbershop. - [chris] well, dominickactually does grow his hair out and then cuts it offfor locks of love. he can't donate thebeard hair, though. - [joe] thank god for that. - [chris] i would actuallybe a recipient for that,

i would take that donatedbeard hair, i can't grow one. - [joe] do you think hecould donate the food from it? - what'd he startthis hand with? - i think five.maybe a little more. fifty-five. - [chris] alright,as you suggested, a glantz-deeb all-inbattle is brewing. - [thomas] i'm reallyrooting for matt this hand. - i can beat that.

- oh there's a queen dead, i'magainst two queens, (bleep). - [thomas] queen ofheart, queen of heart! - [joe] so glantzout-flops deeb. - how can you have twoqueens with a dead queen? - i didn't even knowthere was a dead queen. i didn't see that.- really? - [mckeehen] yeah travellexposed one under the gun. - i didn't see it. - [joe] i'm not a fan of allthese freddy mercury jokes,

the man was an icon. - i know he's got queens. - [joe] the jack is notgood enough on the end. - you have queens, you win. - i don't have queens. - then you have a flush. - i don't have queens, i swear. - you have a flush then. - no, i do not have a flush.torelli, do i have a flush?

(laughing)- tommy do i have a flush? - i don't have a flush.- i just have a jack. - okay. - you're probably gonna win. - i got it in good for once! - misterize. - you got in with a deadqueen, that is so bad! - [joe] hey guys, can wejust go back for a second? because the onlinequalifier totally

got denied a fist-bump, twice. check this out: high-fives all around. oh! denied! twice! oh man! whatchawant, grizzly adams? you know glantz totally didthat on purpose. he was like, "not you." - [chris] he's that kind of guy.(laughing) - [joe] look, asocial experiment,

i bet if he didn'thave that beard he would've got the fist-bump. - [chris] glantz got thisstarted with ace-queen, he made it 400, joemckeehen called, richard anthony called. three players aregoing to the flop. and mckeehen pulls ahead,making a pair of kings. - [joe] glantz isgoing to continue. perfect spot to just call.

mckeehen probably lovingthis spot with top pair. - can you add onion rings,fried goat cheese and meatloaf? - [joe] on pizza? ohwhat a time to be alive! - [chris] what kindof an order was that? - [joe] by theway, matt glantz just very quietly turned the nuts, so when i said mckeehen'sprobably loving this spot, now, not so much. still don't think hecan fold top pair.

oh man, what a great cardfor mckeehen on the river. that's gonna savehim some money. i think if glantz evenreduces his bet sizing mckeehen can't reallycall anymore. - show a bluff. - ace high is good. (laughs) - i guess the other card'sa queen, huh? good suck out on theturn, buddy. - how bad is that river?

- not good for you. - obviously. such apiece of (bleep) river. - [chris] it is amazinghow these players can pick up on every single hand that the others areplaying, it's amazing. - you got me to fold ahand, congratulations. - [chris] just whenyou think that you've got the game figured out,watch this, and then think "yeah, there's anotherlevel to get to."

- [joe] i mean, i'vegot the game figured out, but that's with hole cards. - stupid not to sell 2-3percent,you know? - [joe] actually, even then i'mprobably not so good. so it looks like wemight see christiano finally play a hand, he's gotace-king under the gun. - especially because firstplace has so much extra value... - [chris] 225 is the raise. - [torelli] i would give someonesecond place money

to take first, almost. what are you losing, like2 million? - you make way more than thatin sponsorship down the road. and, like, notoriety. you want to be able to playfor first even more, then. - yeah, but joe doesn'twant a headache. - [torelli] i'd rather not careabout the money at all. - it's nicer to getsponsorship. - that's for sure the wayto play.

- especially if ever one knowsthat too. - [chris] travell thomas calls. - seven handed theyknow you're literally playing for first or nothing. - [chris] well, hellothere, shaun deeb. - [joe] jeez, everbody's gota hand. - [chris] if shaun deeb callsi will eat this pen. - [mckeehen] rep told meabout the bubble today. - [chris] knew there was no waythat could be happening there.

1200 is the raise. - [thomas] i can never seea flop, i finally had a hand. - can i take half? - [joe] it lookslike bart hanson's maybe eaten a pen or two in his day. he could be suspectingthat shaun maybe could be alittle light here. - twenty-nine. - [joe] bart!four-betting king-queen,

turned his hand into a bluff, hoping to takethis down pre-flop. it looks strong as hell,i'll say that much. - i have an extra 10 yet. - i started with 9000. - [thomas] i would've 3-bet,but with him that opened. - [chris] back to christiano,now you've got ace-king, you were the first raiser, withall this action behind you, i mean, that's awfully tough.

- [joe] it's reallyhard to think ace-king is in good shape here afterthere's been a fourth bet. but these guys are maniacs. i think if i qualifiedand i was playing with somebody else's money,i might just ship it in here and close my eyes and pray. - the jack-five call,that was insane. - [chris] wow, he'sgonna let it go. - [joe] so bart gotone better hand to fold.

but christiano, we know,is playing pretty tight. shaun deeb, not as tight. he is loose, he isloose like the pants in a weight-lossadd "after" photo. - definitely bought myhand. both probably. - [joe] (laughs)- [chris] there you go! - [joe] bart gets ace-king tofold and ace-jack jams on him. blech! - see ya!- two jacks?

- [joe] smell ya later. - not a pair but ace-king. - oh my god, how does(bleep) shaun do it? how does he do it? - shaun knows how toplay poker, guys, if you haven'tfigured that out yet. - [thomas] this is why i'mdown, because he's to my left. - [voiceover] closedcaptioning is brought to you as a public service bypoker night in america.

- this is why i'm down,because he's to my left. - yeah, that'swhy you're down... - [chris] we will hit pause for day two herefrom turning stone, seat one, richard anthony wasdoling out the money so far. - [joe] nice one, dick tony. let's focus for asecond on the qualifier, dominick christiano camein with five thousand, is now up over fivethousand dollars.

well done, him. next time rep porter, mikedentale join the table, and one of them is mildlyrude to the waitstaff. tune in to see whosedrink gets spit in, and the gang plays alittle blind man's bluff. - for more poker night inamerica, go to pokernight.com to see unedited live streamsand complete episodes. for joe stapleton,i'm chris hanson. we'll see you next time

here on poker night in america. (tape rewind noise) - how do you have twoqueens with a dead queen? - i didn't even knowthere was a dead queen, i wasn't paying attention. - you have a flush, then. - no, i do not have a flush.(laughter) tommy, do i have a flush? i don't have a flush.- i just have a jack.

- okay, then you'reprobably gonna win. - you got in with a deadqueen, that is so bad. you were too happywith your hand, that i knew i did not win. (exploding noise) - glantz is a pillow. - i didn't see theexposed card actually. i'm glad i didn't, wow. - you're so awful at poker.
