1
bracelet.
2
Back with you now, Alina Jad and Nick Shulman.
3
Blinds two and four million with a four million big blind Annie.
4
It's tough mentally for Lucas being a card away.
5
But what else but to keep playing?
6
This kid has a great mindset, great attitude.
7
We'll see.
8
Check from Saski Lottie.
9
During an interview, Lucas actually said, I know this may never come around again, and I'm just soaking it all in.
10
It is surreal.
11
There's no pressure.
12
We're just playing cards.
13
But you're playing them for $4 million in pay differential, and that cannot be overstated.
14
Ace-King-4, Queen-High over Jack-High, although neither huge fans of this board.
15
That spade works for Jumalan, and with the check in front of him, He delivers $4 million, which is being called, Nick.
16
It certainly is.
17
You see, this guy does not go quietly.
18
Finds the jack.
19
Royal flush draw working for Jumalan.
20
Second check in front of him.
21
And while it is still just queen high, it's certainly the kind of hand that could continue to lean into this now.
22
20 million in the middle.
23
I agree with that, Ali.
24
Looks like Lucas agrees as well. Is this 10 million-ish?
25
That's 40, I believe.
26
Oh, whoops, yeah.
27
We're looking at a very different color.
28
42 X pot.
29
Just two X-POP, Ali.
30
Am I getting too excited about that?
31
No, no, you're not.
32
You're absolutely right.
33
And for Saski Lottie with his Jack.
34
Gotta think we're out. But maybe...
35
He's just hyper focused.
36
Usually the massaging of the hand precedes a release. Of tension?
37
Of the car.
38
The thing is, the last time we observed this, as we alluded to earlier, from Saski-Latti versus Mueller three-handed,
39
it was with a strong hand.
40
On this occasion, it's a semi-bluff.
41
I'm not saying it's a tell, per se.
42
I'm referring to the 2x pot, not the stroking of the finger.
43
We have seen both, you're right.
44
Got a bluff with that size sometimes, you have to have it.
45
Lucas, Lucas, Lucas, Lucas, Lucas,
46
Lucas, Lucas, Lucas, Lucas, Lucas, Lucas, Lucas.
47
Hayden Hedlund, Lucas's good friend.
48
Leading a sort of Tomahawk Chop, I believe.
49
This is a kind of strange tank at this point.
50
Oh my God.
51
Mind you, he does have the best hand.
52
He's calling.
53
Wow.
54
Here's the issue though, Nick.
55
There's a hundred million in the middle, but there's no guarantee that Jumalan steps away from it on the river and he's hit the spade.
56
He's got the nuts now.
57
You know, even just starting on the flop, Masculati put an awful lot of chips into this one.
58
May have made his own bed a touch.
59
And as you said, Ali, no sweeter sight in the world for Jumalan than that six of spades.
60
The stone nuts.
61
If there's any mercy to be had, It's the fact that Lauri sees those four spades,
62
and when he sees this bet, he should be able to get away from Jax.
63
One would think.
64
180 million?
65
That's 180 million.
66
I think most of us expected him to get away on the turn.
67
Something about this hand he didn't believe on.
68
Does he just put him on something like 7-8?
69
No spade?
70
Is he really about to hero call 180 million on the river?
71
We've seen him do it before.
72
Not quite this spot, but we have seen him make some huge calls.
73
Suddenly the felt feels more like a war zone, just given the number of bombs that have been dropped out there.
74
2x on the turn, 1.8 on the river.
75
I feel like you have complete air.
76
I don't have a strong hand.
77
It's not complete air, Laude.
78
It's toxic air.
79
And you'd do well not to breathe it in.
80
Fuck.
81
Ay, ay, ay, ay.
82
To hero or not to hero?
83
What do you think, Lucas?
84
You have it?
85
Yes, he does.
86
You're a little bit changing your story.
87
Ali, is he really gonna call 180 million?
88
Look at me, buddy.
89
Back three.
90
Oh my gosh.
91
I wish I could safely say no, Nick, but I just can't.
92
Don't want to run into this guy in an alleyway.
93
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye. That is 180.
94
He's measuring out a call, Nick.
95
I don't know, man.
96
Ooh, it's this and this.
97
I think he wants to know how much he would have left.
98
I mean, the call on the turn was wild enough.
99
Especially after the tank, but he did figure out and was wrong.
100
I feel like you're bluffing.
101
Put it in.
102
Don't rescue that, guys.
103
No, I'm not gonna put it in.
104
If I call, I will just call if I do something.
105
I don't know.
106
Because you are somehow telling that you had the ace is...
107
Ah, fuck.
108
You know, I only have a jack.
109
I think the jack might be good.
110
What do you think?
111
This is pretty wild.
112
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
113
Wife Kaisa, looking on.
114
Put it in.
115
And Saski Lottie continues to look over, perhaps in search of something in the way of a live tell.
116
I called.
117
Oh, he's called!
118
Calls.
119
Oh my God.
120
It didn't work out, but that's got to be two of the gutsiest.
121
He makes the call.
122
80 million in the middle.
123
That's 20 big
124
Something to fight on with for loudy
125
And heads up it can be very hard to close somebody out funny things can happen Lucas find some help
126
King for a king!
127
King for a king!
128
Just shy.
129
Another 3-2 favorite, the ace-seven has been out-flocked.
130
Joom along with sixes, Nick, and again, Sasuke Lati has work to do with his back against the wall.
131
It's the heart!
132
It's the heart!
133
It's the heart!
134
It's the heart!
135
It's the heart!
136
It's the heart!
137
70-30 now is Jumalan.
138
Oh, that's it.
139
And it's trip sixes!
140
It's over!
141
He did it!
142
The kid from Spokane, Washington, has just won the main event.
143
Lucas Jumalan is the 2026 main event champion, Ali.
144
He did it.
145
It's over.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
