Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast.
And my name is Donnie Peters. The guy on the other side of
the internet on the other microphone that is Tim Duckworth. How you doing,
buddy, it's been a minute, it's been many minutes. Yes, do
you know how many minutes? It's been twenty six? Wait? Is that
real? No, I tell I mean the way you said it, I
was like, Okay, whatever it is, you got to Yeah, you
gotta be confident. Yeah, I mean, you know, fake it till
you make it. Yeah. It has been a while since we've hopped on
the Poker Gol Podcast. We've been a bit busy, but should be an
exciting week, I guess. You know. We got to talk about some
stuff that wrapped up recently on the Poker Go Tour. We got High Stakes
Poker brand new season coming up. Tim, you didn't put it on the
rundown here, but I want to hit on the Celebrity Poker Tour event that
was yeh ye and then I mean, it seems like all signs are pointing
to the Dovasity schedule getting released this week. I mean, that's what keV
Matt seems to think on Twitter, right, I mean yeah, so if
that's happening, I mean, everyone get ready because it's coming baby, Like,
you know'd be interesting if they dropped it tomorrow on Valentine's Day and they
said, you know, with love from us to you. Oh, that
is a great idea. You should work in marketing. Yeah, it's almost
like I am probably the best marketer and poker. It's it's almost like that.
And I say that, you know, a bit tongue in cheek,
but also I'm dead serious that I am the best marketer and poker. So
anyway, let's continue on Poker gro Cup PGT Mixed Games Pgtpoo series. Both
of those latter two things are upcoming. We're going to hit on the recapping
Poker Girl Cup, which happened. I just talked about that celebrity invitational.

All right. The first winner Justin but Justin Butt left to a review over
on Spotify. I am an avid poker player who comes to Vegas for a
budget WSOP trip every single year. I enjoy the content very much and have
started listening backwards as I work nights, and you guys help my nights fly
by. Your podcast is by far the best one I've come across, and
definitely my favorite. Well, thank you very much, Justin. I have
no idea idea how I sound or Tim sounds backwards, but we probably sound
kind of great. No, but in all seriousness, appreciate the review.
Justin. But Tim's going to be reaching out to everyone via email. That's
how you obviously had to submit your reviews, as I just talked about.
So Tim will get in contact with people, get you set up with your
quarterly subscription to Poker Grow. If you are already some sort of subscriber,
we'll we'll figure out some sort of make good to make it for the value
or whatnot. I'll let Tim you know, handle that. Second winner,
Thomas Vana left a review over on Apple he missed out on a hat during
the WSOP no way did oh my gosh, maybe we'll give him a hat
and said I'll reach out by an email. See if he prefers one of
the last PokerGO podcast hats that we stumbled across, or if he wants the
quarterly subscription. Okay, I like it. Thomas wrote the best poker cast.
I love the podcast, love that you brought back the WSOP twenty.
I listen every day and watch poker Gro every night. That's awesome, Jay,
Eric Thomas, I should say let me know in the email or tweet
him or whatever you want to do. I want to know what your favorite
thing is on Poker Go if you watch poker Gro every single I want to
know what the like, what's your favorite episode, favorite show, whatever it
may be. It can be something from twelve years ago. I don't care.
I'm just curious what you guys out there love so much, and you
specifically Thomas. All right, Third and final review winner here, this one's
great. I mean, I mean, I mean, it's just it's amazing.
Eugene Lee, Eugene, I mean, you're my man. This is
not a plant. I don't think unless timper. I hate it. I
hate it that I randomly drew this one. It's just the title of the
title you left it on Apple. The title of the review is the Bomb,
which is amazing. Five stars. We only accept five stars, so
let's go. And then Eugene writes, I've listened to poker podcasts for well
over ten years and DP that's me. Everyone is probably the most entertaining host
in the business. I mean, let's just stop the review there. I
don't even know what happens after in this review. I haven't read further.
I only skimmed this before I came on this review. I should I should
friend the review. I should send it to Maury and all of our management
and be like, look, guys, this is this is what's up.
In all seriousness. I will now continue with the review. Eugene continues on
I started listening to him when he was on the Poker News podcast, where
he was always on point, shout out PN pod. Loved the old PAN
Pod days. Once he left that pod started going downhill. It's still a
good listen. Come on, we don't need a dumbar too much. And
then I discovered he was back on the Poker Goad podcast, and it's been
fire since. Man, I love Eugene beers on me. I don't drink
anymore, but you can have all mine for me. Although I was worried
when Remco suddenly and without explanation left, Yeah he did. He left me
high and dry. But that doesn't matter because Tim has filled his shoes.
Eugene writes, Tim has more than made up for I'm assuming for it and
is great in his own right. That is damn right. Not just talking
about today's news and poker. There's other features like listening to the South Point
exploits the only person getting exploited is Tim family pot and even some added flare
which with Rich Ryan. Shout out producer Rich Ryan, who was also good
on the Poker News podcast back in the day and should probably be given a
mic a bit more. Well, he's not on the mic, Eugene,
just quickly, you know, there's still another sense of this review. But
Rich isn't on a mic. Rich is remote. He's in Florida, okay,
so we send him the files. He does his you know, his
editing genius and then gets it all posted up for us. But maybe we'll
have him on at some point. Hopefully Rich comes out this summer for the
WSP to actually come poker take a shot here or there, and if he
does, we'll for sure get him on the podcast as a little I don't
know reunion. I guess you know, we need to like get the old
like podcast crew back together, like from the Poker News days. I know
you weren't on it, but like me, Rich Christy can all hop on
together talk some stuff. That'd be a lot of fun, all right,
Eugene continues, and then I'll finish it here. These guys work harder than
the rest. I love the Dobassopy updates and even their stuff from last year's
Sushi Gate to this year's coffee bets. It's all quality stuff. Eugene,
thank you very very much. So thank you to Justin, but Thomas Verona
and Eugene Lee, you guys are the three winners. Again. Stay tuned
to your email inboxes because that is where Tim will be reaching out to sort
your prizes. This episode of the Poker Grol Podcast is brought to you by

the news and happenings. First things first, Poker Go Cup, it's in
the books, the first major PGT series of the twenty twenty four season.
Now, we did have the PGT kickoff series which was brand new that was
a lot of fun, but that I mean not trying to dump on it,
but we'll call it a minor, right, and then we have the
majors, which are Poker gro Cup, US Poker Open, and Poker Masters.
Does just super high rollable count as a major. I think it's not
a series, no, but it's our biggest event, right, So just
take a one off major individual maja. So success unsuccessful? What do you
think Pokero Cup twenty twenty four, You know you're the commissioner, you personally
think it's it was successful? You can argue that it wasn't the numbers.
What are the arguments that it wasn't well, the numbers. The entre numbers
were a little lower than we expected. But to provide some context, like
in the ten case, you know, they were all hovered around ninety.
We expected to kind of eclipse one hundred, kind of like what we did
at pokem Maasters back in September last year. Now there's a very very very
clear reason why our numbers were a little lower. We jam packed the January
schedule with events. We had PGT Last Chance, we had the Championship,
we had the kickoff, then players flew to Seminole or Ballgarda to play and
they came back here for the Cup. So it's understandable that you may take
some time off and elect to say, sit out one of these series.
And I know for a fact a lot of players sat out Pocago Cup.
But outside of those points, I do think it was a success. You
know, we switched everything up up. We did a five K kickoff,
I did a few ten ks, couple fifteens, and then the twenty five
K finale, so we kind of dropped the buyings down and what that meant
is that you could basically keep players in action the whole series. Eighteen players
played every event, so that's really strong. We had. You know,
obviously a lot of people will skip a five K or they'll skip a twenty
five K, but you know, we had fourteen players play seven events,
so we saw a lot more consistency throughout the series, which was really good.
And then also our entrant numbers held really steadily over the ten k's.
Often, you know we're going to go like one hundred ninety five, eighty
five, seventy, we have dramatics, deep chop offs, but this series
eighty nine, eighty five, eighty one, eighty three in the ten ks,
and if you look at the uniques, it was still pretty strong,
sixty one uniques, fifty eight, fifty three, fifty four. When we
moved on to the fifteen K, strong turnout six and seventy entrants in the
twenty five K fifty five, one of the biggest twenty five k's we've done
as part of a major series in a long time. And I think that
just shows that you know, people were sticking around, they really wanted to
win, you know, the Polo Cup, and I think the changes we
made. Although, like I said at the top, you know, numbers
a little underwhelming to what we may have thought. I think it shows that
I think we've hit a really you know, good plan that's going to you
know, come USBO, come poker masses. Later this year, I think
we're going to have numbers that surpass what we did at the Pocago Cup.
Yeah, I think just in general, January, as you mentioned, was
very very jam packed. I mean we jampacked it for our player base,
specifically, you know, going with the kickoff to start and then obviously leading
into the Cup, and that was also on the heels of Last Chance and
the championship event, so you know, there was a lot to be had.
You know, maybe Ankorles couldn't sustain it, you know, who knows.
And then you mentioned the stuff at Borgata and down at Seminole as well,
So I would I would guess that with the way that the numbers held
pretty strong and that consistently, that consistency, excuse me, played a big
role throughout. I think we see a very good turnout for us PO,
which is coming up in the first half of April, so I'm very much
looking forward to that. I I don't I'm saying this kind of off the
coff. I haven't really looked at the numbers in a long time, but
I always feel like USPO is like our most attended series. I think it's
us PO, then Poker Masters, then Poker Go Cup. I could I
could totally be wrong on that. I don't know. Part of me says
like the USPO branding, the time slot, all that sort of stuff,
like kind of a little bit more trophies, everyone wants one. Yeah,
Poker Masters I think, you know, has that kind of like second spot
in terms of if I was going to tear them, and then Poker Go
Cup is you know, it's the newer one of those three, so you
know, but still very prestigious in its own right and certainly worth coming out
and battling for. But but yeah, so we'll see how these play out.
I mean, it's gonna be it's gonna be fun, all right.
So event winners. There was eight events for the twenty twenty four Poker gro
Cup. David Peters won the first event, a five thousand dollars opener.
He took home one hundred and forty one thousand dollars. Then it was Dylan
Wiseman winning event number two, Jonathan Little winning event number three, Carrie Katz
winning event number four, Justin Zaki scooped event number five. David Coleman,
we've heard his name before on the PGT. This season he won event number
six. David Peters back in the winners circle and event number seven gets a
second title of this series. But then Jonathan Little comes in off the top
rope in the final event, that twenty five K finale, he wins that
one for his second title of the series. And in that one, Jonathan
Little took home four hundred and fifty three thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars.
So in terms of who stood out, David Peters of course, right,
David Peters is you know, one of the best performing players on the
high Roller Circuit and more specifically in PGT events over the years. So him
coming out performing well winning two events, he certainly stands out in that.
But he has he hasn't been around the studio in a while, Tim,
No, he's been deep in the meta us, I believe, and at
times he's been like I'm playing online in Mexico or whatever. So you know,
maybe maybe now maybe now because he has a kid on the way,
he's gonna be stuck at home in Vegas. Good, so so just driving
on down to the studio, like that's gonna be his thing. I don't
I don't know, you know, an appetite for getting on a plane.
You know, when you're is you know, several months pregnant, how that's
going to really go over? So so yeah, so maybe we'll steal a
little bit more from him. His first win in the Poker Goro studio since
he had three wins in June twenty twenty one. That was during US Pokeer
Open and then his first PGT victory since August twenty twenty two. And that
was a super high or sorry it's not super seminal hard Rock Poker Open event.
The fifty k were we there for that one? Was that the one
we were there for? I can't remember trying. I think he might have
been twenty twenty three, Yeah, no, twenty one, No, we
were twenty twenty two for sure? You sure, yeah, I'm pretty sure?
All right. Another player who stood out justin Zaki. He won a
veent number five for two hundred and thirty two thousand dollars and then he came
second to Jonathan Little in the final event, and that was important because so
Jonathan Little wins the Poker Go Cup, the whole the whole series, the
whole thing. As you know, if you're new here, I will tell
you that our series, our major series, there is a series leaderboard and
then the champion of that series. So the Poker Go Cup champion for twenty
twenty four is the person that earns the most points over the entire series.
That was Jonathan Little this year. Okay, Jonathan Little had those two wins.
But in that final event, so David Peters is in front, he's
on top of the leaderboard, He's got a fade like a bunch of people
winning. It was Jonathan Little, it was justin Zaki, and there was
somebody else if I remember correctly, and I can't remember off the top of
my head. But anyway, Zachie and Little get heads up. So now
it's guaranteed that David Peters is not winning the Cup because if Zaki would have
won the tournament, the event number eight, the twenty five K, then
he would have won the Cup. If Jonathan Little would have won, then
he wins the Cup. As it turns out, Jonathan Little bested Justin Zaki
in heads up play took home that four and fifty three thousand dollars first place
prize. So good on Jonathan Little. He won have number three for two
hundred and twenty nine thy five hundred. He won event number eight. He
also cashed in event number one, where he took seventh place. He cashed
in event number five, he took ninth place. It's his third best poker
year in terms of live tournament winnings already, and it's only February thirteenth right
now. And he's been around for nineteen twenty years. He's been around forever.
I mean he kind of stormed onto the scene back in the day,
you know, won some WPG titles all that sort of stuff, went and
started poker coaching dot com that has been wildly successful, and now he is
a poker grol Cup champion. Also kind of coincidentally, the whole timing thing
while he was getting a lot of flack on social media from Matt Burkey,
like that's all going on. You got you got Burkie and Daniel Legron,
You're going at it over the whole Jonathan Little thing, and about what Jonathan
Little like puts out there on social media, and you know, Burkey's going
at him, and then Burkey was going to Daniel for some of his plays,
and it was a whole thing for what a week and a half,
two weeks, it just kept going. All while this is happening, Jonathan
Little is just out there battling with some of the best tournament players in the
world at the Poker Go Cup, wins two of those events, cashing in
two other ones, and wins the entire Poker Grol Cup. So yeah,
I mean, Jonathan Little walk the walk man. I mean, he had
himself a great week. He crushed it on the felt he is the Poker
Cup champion. You know, he's he hasn't been like the most consistent regular
in PGT events, but he played every event at the Poker Cup. Maybe
now he plays a lot more stuff that we have going on now that he
has had the success. He's moved quite a bit of ways up the PGT
leaderboard where he now sits in third overall. So maybe he has a little
bit more motivation to push towards that leaderboard, finishing inside the top forty,
all that sort of stuff. I believe Jonathan lives out in New York,
has a family and all that sort of stuff. So not not sure how
often you know he'll he'll be wanting to travel, you know, come out
here to Vegas. But I would anticipate that we see him for US Poker
Open and that would be great to see him out there to see if he
can he can, I don't know, make make some runs there go on
to win it. I would like to someday see like a triple crown,
you know, much like you see in horse racing, Like somebody comes out
and wins whatever. The first one is the Bellmon or the Derby or Preakness.
I have no idea which one's first. Then they win the next one.
It's like, oh my gosh, they're going for the triple crown.
I mean, that would be cool to see, right, So make it
happen, Jonathan Little. In terms of the PGT leaderboard, it's still David
Coleman up on top. Of course, getting that win in event number six
at the Poker Grol Cup, which he took home three hundred and two thousand,
four hundred dollars for that helped boost him even further up on top of
the leaderboard. He has nine hundred and thirty seven points. Kristin Foxon is
second with six hundred and sixty six points. She had some success at the
Poker Girl Cup as well, made a final table or two, and then,
as I mentioned, Jhonathan Little moves up into third on the PGT leaderboard.
So, yeah, the race is hot and heavy to start. I
like it. You know, it got kind of some new faces. I
do have to pat myself on the back. I'm sorry, Tim, but
breakout players on the PGT, I said David Coleman. I said, Kristen
fox And they are one and two right now. So I think we deleted
those podcasts. I'm not sure there's any proof of that. Looking down the
leaderboard, tenth place Daniel Legron new two hundred and sixty nine points. Daniel,
of course we have mentioned it before. I will say it again.
He is going with the quality over quantity approach. He even skipped the twenty
five K at the Poker Girl Cup, right, you know, he he
was saying, you know, he came out and he said, listen,
I'm probably not going to play any of these five K events. Okay,
fine, no big deal. Played. Some of the others made a final
table but even said he wasn't feeling it for the twenty five K and decided
to not come and play that, which you know, I think you missed
out because, as you said, you know, one of our largest twenty
five k's that we've had in some times, so could have seen Daniel out
there battling. But hey, listen, he's off to a good start in
twenty twenty four. He's off to a good start for the twenty twenty four
PGT leaderboard race. So we'll see what comes from Daniel legrand new which will
likely start with what's coming up, and that is the PGT Mixed Game Series
and tim you want to hit on, like what that is, when it's
going to happen, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, it's kicking off
February twenty eighth, running through March eighth. It's a third edition. Dan
Zach won the first one early last year, China Reem won it in October.
We've got ten events. Something new for this series is we're kicking it
off two five K buyings open the series five K horse five K a game,
then we're going into a ten K horse ten K eight game. Those
four events for the first time we are streaming those from the Triangle Room at
the Poco Studio. So four of these events are getting streamed, the four
probably biggest events we're going to have in the series. Then we go kind
of pretty much the same schedule we've done before. We've got a triple start,
We've got a triple draw, We've got a Big Bet Mixed Dealer's Choice,
the ten Game Championship, and the five K no limit Deuce. Also,
if you want to get in for cheap, February twenty sixth and twenty
seventh, we've got a seven hundred and fifty dollars horse satellite in the Aria
Poker Room one pm. The next day, feb twenty seventh, seven to
fifty eight game in the Aria Poker Room. Both of those, I believe
we're going to have a discount on the fee for on time entry TD.
Paul Campbell is about to release the satellite structure. But yeah, you want
to get in cheap, that's the way. Leaderboard winner ten K and the
PGT Gold Cup coming your way if you can top the PGT Mixed Games Leaderboard
boom. Looking forward to it. I think it's going to be I'm sitting
in the mixed game group chat. I feel like, are they talking about
it? Are they? I mean, it's been a little cold, you
know, recently obviously, but as we were prepping this, the schedule and
moving some stuff around seemed very bullish. It feels like, you know,
this time slot, this early in the year time slot is the best one.
And just for transparency, we're probably not doing this twice a year.
We're just going to keep it to once a year and kind of double down
on this one being kind of the series to come to. So I'm looking
forward to it. I'm hoping we get some new faces. I think that's
always important, and hopefully, you know, we get the guys that you
know, we've expected to come that haven't yet, you know, come out
and have a crack. Yeah. There are some players that have posted some
action over on poker steak dot com. Alan Kessler chief among them, because
he has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
different listings up here. So if you want some action of Chainsaw, he
hasn't. He hasn't played any before, right, He's he hasn't played any
of the mix same series. He's played like one Pokemasa's eight game, and
he didn't like the structure and you know has complained ever since that event three
years ago. Well, he's got action on poker steak dot com with no
markup. Okay, so if you want some action of the chainsaw, you
can head on over to poker steak dot com. You can check out the
action that is posted there. Shout out to those guys. Always good to
see the action that's up there, and there's often a lot of times there's
action for the series that we are running on the PGT all right after PGT
Mixed Games we got, i mean, probably the most popular PLO series in
the world, right, I mean, is there another one? Technically there
is one going right now? I think in King's Casino, the Big Rap.
Is it the Big Rap? Yeah, that's I think that's kind of
it. But is it right now? I thought it was in the second
half of the year. Oh, I think it might times it's running,
Yeah, I thought it was. Yeah. Final day was yesterday, final
day of the hundred years. Guys that won a bunch of money over there
can now come over here, right? Is that that's how we're doing it?
All? Right? What is this series about? When is it?
PGTPLO series March twentieth to twenty ninth, also the third edition Latara Guerrera and
Daniel Geng the previous series champions ten events. We're mixing it up again with
this one. We're doing two five K plos. We're doing a five K
progressive knockout that's new, bringing back the fifteen K Progressive knockout that was very
popular. The finale of the of the series, Event ten is going to
be a five K PLO dealer's Choice. You can play any of the six
games listed that He also includes two double boards, so that's a new twist
as they're always twenty five k. Pl Championship is the marquee event of the
series as Event nine ten K Championship bonus for the leader board winner and the
PGT Gold Cup, streaming every final table until the finale and four satellites two
in the poker room on March eighteenth and nineteenth. Five hundred and sixty dollars
buying March twentieth, six pm in the studio after registration has closed in that
day's event. Five sixties buying for that March twenty second, the day before
the first ten K at an eleven hundred plow satellite six pm in the studio
after registration has ended in that day's event. So four satellites get people in
to these events for cheap or we're doing four or five KS and a seventy
five hundred bounty, so some lower price points all the way up to we've
got a fifteen KPKO, a fifteen K PLOS straight up normale, then the
twenty five K Championships, So a bit of a variety there for all kinds
of players, you know, for those willing to gamble a little bit.
I'm talking to you Euros that are traveling in. We got those those PKOs.
That's going to be very, very juicy. Yeah, I mean the
PLO series is one of my favorites. I know this is only going to
be the third edition, we've only run it two times in the past.
But I mean just the player group that you get for this one, like
the style in which they play, like the general amount of gambling that's going
on within the room. Like I love it, right, I mean,
listen, I don't know anything about PLO, Like, I'm not an expert
in the game, you know, I obviously know how to play it and
whatnot, but it's it's super fun to to you know, to watch these
guys battle. You get some of the absolute best potlom and Omaha players in
the world coming out. Uh you know, to to to take place in
the PGT PLO series. I know you talk with a lot of them and
trying to craft whatever the perfect schedule might be. So very much looking forward
to you know, those guys coming out once again and battling. You know,
it's it's a lot of fun, it really is. So gonna have
a nice different group of people. As you mentioned, Tim, you know,
we're gonna be live streaming nine of those final tables from that series.
So you know, if if you've watched in the past, we kicked off
streaming from our secondary studio with the second PLO series last year, so you
know, you'll notice that you get a lot of different characters that you might
not see on a lot of poker live streams and on a lot of Poker
Go or PGT live streams. So certainly come on out and watch these guys
play because they are some of the best of the best. And you know,
if you're doing anything like I don't know even if you're just if you're
doing like Poker Fantasy leagues or you're doing the ODB League or any anything like
that for the World series, or if you're just looking for people to kind
of keep an eye on for the World series. I feel like the PGT
PLO series is a good point of research in a way for that because all
these guys will be out at the series. The series of course, and
in the summer has a ton of PLO events worked within the overall series,
so you know, and they have everything from what like five hundred six hundred
dollars buyings all the way up to a fifty k maybe they put one hundred
k on it this year, who knows, but you know they have they
have both of those and they have everything in between. So you'll see a
lot of those same types of characters come out for the PGT PLO series.
So yeah, if you feel like, you know, hold them might be
a little boring for you because you see it all the time. Well,
you're getting PGT mixed games, some streams from from that series, and then
you're going to get a bunch of streams from the PGTP Thow series, So
a lot of fun stuff is really coming up for the PGT in general.
And then of course all that's going to lead into the US Poker Open.
It's going to take place at the first half of April, So big stuff
happening on the PGT. A lot of fun. Would again, I would
echo if you're interested in playing these events. Those satellites that Tim mentioned,
like, that's just a great opportunity to get in overall. And and those
satellites, you know, we'll be all listed on PGT dot com in the
schedule section. Then whenever we get structures, Tim might put those up there
as well and stuff like that. So yeah, definitely check those out if
you know, if you want to try and hop into a PGT event,
maybe you don't have five K, but you know, maybe you got five
hundred dollars, seven hundre dollars something like that, so you can get into
one of those satellites. The Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational too, all right,
So this this is a special event that the Celebrity Poker Tour comes out to
the Poker Go Studio. They basically rent the place out, we do the
production, we stream it, all that sort of stuff. It's like a
partnership to put it out there. But this one was was wild. It
took place a couple of days before the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, so
as you could imagine, there was a lot of like big name athletes and
celebrities out in Las Vegas just in general around that time because of the Super
Bowl. So yeah, there was there had to be at least a dozen,
maybe fifteen twenty NFL players and like good name NFL players like Keenan Allen,
Austin Eckler, Aaron Jones, like you know, legit NFL guys right
like we're out here playing. You had a lot of like social media stars,
influencers, all that sort of stuff. I mean, it was.
It was a very cool crowd. It's not like, I know, going
into it, you might be like, why would I watch this? Like
this isn't Daniel Legrown. You feel how many phil IVI, et cetera,
Like why why should I care? Well, let me tell you. I
mean, and Tim can attest to the fact that I was crying, laughing
for an hour, probably an hour and a half straight, like I couldn't.
I was in the studio, but I was in a in the kind
of a back area, and I had the stream up and I was watching,
I mean, the play the hands, the personalities, the table talk.
It was outrageous, absolutely outrageous. Some of these hands, Like I
mean, I started to not believe that they were real at some point,
just the way that they were playing out, the stuff that was happening like
it was. It was crazy. So if you if you didn't see it,
I would encourage you to. You can head on over to Poker Grow
if you're a subscriber. You can also go to the Poka gro YouTube channel.
You can check it out there. Just search Celebrity Poker Tour find the
most recent one. Watch that stream because it was it was a ton of
fun. If you don't want to sit through the whole stream, I know,
Remco put up a sort of highlight video, but but there was there
were so many highlights that the highlight video is like an hour and ten minutes
long because it was it was I say, outrageous. Outrageous doesn't do it
justice, like the stuff that was happening. Ultimately, at the end of
the day, Princess Love tops the seventy three entrant field. She won twenty
thousand dollars for doing so. It's a it's a free roll, right,
and they put up fifty k yeah, slippery Koger Tour puts up fifty k.
How many places paid thirteen nine O nine so and then twenty k up
top. But yeah, Princess Love ends up. It was supposed to be
nine. But there was a three way elimination on the bubbles. Yeah,
it was. It was wild. I mean it was not. Yeah,
it was like that's like a thing that happened, Like there was an elimination
on one table, but then at the same time, there was a double
elimination on the other table, like all at the same time. It was.
The whole thing was madness. I start to finish, So a lot
of fun there. Princess Love again tops it. She's had a pretty good
recent run. She's up to seventy thousand dollars in winning. She had a
fortieth place finish in the WPT World Championship back in December, where she took
home more than one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. She could finished second to
Jonathan Little in the Stormas Invitational three back in October, where she won eighty
thousand dollars there. So Princess Love is crushing, man, She's crushing.
She is. She justts to play in the shio you think about its bright.
She knows she played I think she played off kickoff, kickoff. Sorry
sorry she event. Yeah, maybe now that she's got a little bit more
money, maybe now that she's got a little bit more success, she still
start diving into those those bigger buy in fields. I mean, listen,
it's not it's not the easiest thing to make that jump. I get it,
like it's you know, it's those fields are tough, you know.
But you know, once you start getting that heat, you start getting that
momentum, you know, maybe you just start trying to ride the rush.
Right, Yeah, let's go. High six Poker is coming up soon.
Season twelve premieres on Monday, February nineteen, So we're recording this on Tuesday,
February thirteen. So next Monday coming up, we're getting new episodes of
High Stakes Poker season twelve. I think we've said it before, we'll say
it again, but everything that we've heard it's pretty bananas this season, so
I'm very much looking forward to it. You want to talk about some of
the new players and some old players that are going to be on the show.
Yeah, we have four players making the High Stakes Poker debut, Vivian
Yang, Andrew Sassin, Andrew Picheka, and Santosh the man guys being playing
all these high stakes cash game streams. He wont to bracelet at WSP Europe,
so he's basically the man of the hour and he's making his debut on
season twelve. We're a couple big returning players Brandon Adams first appearance since season
eight in twenty twenty one, and Phil Lack first appearance since season seven,
which was two thousand and eleven, so he took that ten year gap between
season seven and eight, but he's coming back. You know, his wife
Jennifer Tilly is playing, Andrew Robo, Jean ra berbolon all these big names
are playing. And yeah, like you said, it's we've hurt. We
haven't seen anything yet. All we've heard is this season is gonna be crazy,
amazing, massive hands So maybe one of the biggest parts of all time
we'll have to see whenever that airs. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned. You know, coming off of
last season, coming off of some of the no Gamble, No Future stuff,
mainly cash, the Titans like Andrew Robles the top dog Yeah. Now,
like he's the guy, right, he's the guy that like he's the
end boss in terms of high stakes cash games. He's the guy you got
to take down. And you know, he's just absolutely crushing overall. So
it'll be good to see him back. I'm I've said it before, I'll
say it again. I'm a sucker for Jennifer Tilly. I think she's incredible
in these high stakes cash games. You know, she plays a bit unorthodox.
Guess she brings a super colorful, super booming personality to the table that's
a lot of fun to play with. So looking forward to having her there.
And then listen, Philock's back, man. I have no idea what
to expect from Phil Locke, no idea whatsoever. But we'll see I guess,
like I'm ready. Is he gonna go full unibomber, He's he gonna
wear the ski goggles? Like, What's what's Phil Lock gonna be? Is
he gonna just be an old withered man? That's what I thought we saw
with phil Ivy, Right, phil Ivey like came back to Isaac's pokeram might
have played two hands in two seasons? Is that that's what I think?
It's gonna happen. I'm surprised, but I think he's He's not the character
he used to be. He's, you know, little a little more.
I think he's still gonna be in there mixing. He gonna be personality like
like the wackiness that we saw before. But I think, who knows,
it's still lock. I never know what to expect with that guy, exactly.
All right, So High six Poker, Yeah, I mean that that's
going to be great again. That's that's Monday Season twelve. Twelve premiers will
be new episodes just about every single Monday, leading us pretty much right up
to the twenty twenty four World Series of Poker, which is what we're going
to talk about next, although we don't really have a lot of stuff to
go on other than the fact that the series is running May twenty eighth through
July seventeenth. The main event is July third through the seventeenth, and then
keV Math seems to be putting it out there that the schedules coming out this
week. So where is it? I'm ready? Are you ready? I'm
ready? Like, can you give us the schedule already? I know when
they put out the dates, the announcement about the dates back in December,
you know, they said, like a lot of the mainstays are are going
to be coming back. Of course, you know the main event though,
but you're also going to have the Mystery Millions. You know, that big
one thousand dollars buy Mystery Bounty tournament. It's going to be back, the
Millionaire Maker, Monster Stack, like all that sort of stuff. You know.
I can't imagine the fifty k PPC goes anywhere, So that should be
back and then and then we'll see what else they bring. I'm looking forward
to what they do for Like, I'm curious if they bring back Gladiators of
Poker like it I don't know, I mean it crushed last year, but
yeah, but the Gladiators of Poker from me fell into the I feel like
that tournament they kind of changed every single year, like that was the big
welcome event. Yeah, but now I think I think that the like the
basically the welcome or the kickoff event, or however you want to classify it
is is now going to be that Mystery Millions, right, Like that should
be at the front of the series. Uh see, I'm no, I
feel like you want to put some big stuff later on. I like stuff
at the end of June when you know people are going to come out play
that and potentially polly that into the main event. I don't want to give
people a reason to take that money home. I want to build up to
the main event where everyone like on that who is buying levels still have stuff
ahead of the main event. The thing is seven weeks long, man,
It's like, not like this is a week. It should be longer.
It's just two four months. Just block off June and July. No,
I'm not leaving that place. No. Last year they had ninety five Live
Gold Bracelet events when you include the online events that they had in Nevada,
slast, New Jersey, because those player pools are combined than what they had
in Michigan, Pennsylvania, anywhere else that I'm forgetting kind of don't think so
on A yeah, I have no idea, but they went well over one
hundred. But it's you know, obviously the focus is on the Live Gold
Bracelet events. So is this the year they hit one hundred? Oh god,
I think they have to. We're so close, only five events off.
But the thing is, a way do you fiddle these events? Because
you know, you look at the schedule, it's so passed. Yeah,
WHOA don't the dates. The dates are pretty much the same in length of
you know what I saw actually the other day I forgot to tell you,
but I'll bring it up now. I was driving to the studio. One
of the billboards like out here by Henderson had like WSP Dealer Training now open
really on it. I was like, oh, okay, well they do
need some more dealers. So I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna
have one hundred events, you're for sure gonna probably need to find some new
dealers just because that was extra five. They can be one day turbos.
I think the one day turbos we've gone away from. There's like maybe two
or three I think on the schedule last year. One of them won by
Phil helm With That's an easy way to get to one hundred events. They
play quick. People like them. I think you could sprinkle them in on
a Sunday. You know, a couple of one K, two K Turber,
you could play with all kinds of price points, three K Turbo,
four K Turbo, who cares. That's a good way to get to one
hundred I think it would get good turnouts. And from a staffing perspective,
they're quick, they're twenty minute levels or whatever you choose. You know you're
going to cycle through players very rapidly. He's not going to use up a
whole like the whole room. So I'm teamed. I'm team to both.
Yeah, I'm I'm kind of with you, but I'm going to push back
a little bit, slash, kind of change the course of what you're saying,
because I think that might just be a little bit too watered down if
you're just firing out turbos, you know, not that things haven't become a
little bit watered down already. I know obviously that's a hot topic. But
what I will say is that they could probably just like steal a lot of
what we do on the PGT, like two day events, forty minute levels,
twenty five k buy and so you add like five of those, right
basically lock all the high rollers inside Paris and Horseshoe like, like I would
really like beef up like a high roller section or like a high roller room,
right, make it make it the thing right, and like that that
event is for like twenty five ks plus and it's like a special room.
It's decked out like you know, you know what I mean, like really
like go over the top with it. And then you can easily add like
I don't know, three twenty five k's and two fifty ks to the schedule
and and that way, like those player pools are a little bit smaller,
so you might not have to deal with the massive dealers, like you start
adding like three fifteen hundreds to get to one hundred, you know, and
then you know a five k and something else like oh yeah, you're right,
I think, and you have a whole bunch of dealers, you know,
but make these like you know, two day tournaments, you know,
for like the the Justin Bonhamos, the Shawn Winters of the world, like
those those types of players. Right, yeah, no, that's probably a
better idea when if we're gonna worry about the logistics of the WSP, which
is what a lot of people don't think about it. They don't think about
the staffing, the space, how many dealers, how many flaw stuff,
how many tables, how many chairs this place has, because you know,
even if you look at last year, there's days where there's eight ten events
all going on at once, and it's hard to you know, imagine trying
to organize that, you know, the dealers and everything with the shifts over
ten events in one day. So yeah, it gets it can definitely get
a bit crazy. I don't envy the situation those guys are in sometimes.
So we know, we know a lot of the same tournaments that have you
know, the Millionaire Maker, Monster Stack, et cetera. Like, we
know all those are coming back. I'm assuming all those what is it,
four hundred to eight hundred or quote unquote deep stack tournaments with how they classify
them, those are all going to come back. Those are the special the
only events I'm going to play this Hey, those are those are good tournaments.
They're quick. A lot of those are two day events, like you
said, yeah, I mean they're great at that price point. I would
expect nothing more. My question is that, like we know all that stuff
is coming back, Like, what would you like to see? I know
we've kind of touched on this in the past, but like now it seems
like the schedule's coming out in a couple of days, hopefully maybe by the
end of this week, hopefully, Again, what do we want to see,
Like Okay, how about this, not more of like what do you
want to see? How about this? If the events you name right now
aren't on the schedule, you would consider it a miss I think, and
I think you have been the leader of this. A singing is high roller
should be on there. It crushed at the wind. It feels like the
people out there. I see it on Twitter here and there that people are
requesting it, so not adding that. I don't know if it's a five
K, a ten K, I don't know what the price point is.
I don't know where it should be relative to the other singings events, but
probably not doing that would be a big missed opportunity. If you look at
the popularity of the Mystery Man, the Mystery Millions, the Bounty Turbo,
the Helm with One, and like the PKOs at the Win, the PKOs
we do it would it would shock me if there wasn't like a progressive knockout
what it could be holding It could be plo if there wasn't some version of
that on the schedule. I don't know if it's you know, a five
K, ten K, a twenty five K. I don't know what the
price point is because they're very labor intensive, but having a PKO I think
would be not having a p koor. It would be a missed opportunity.
So those are the two vents that really stand out to me. And a
third one I would say, I don't want them to do this, but
it wouldn't surprise me if they did. Was would be one hundred KPLO.
You know we did it. It was I would say successful. W SP
is just a different beast. If they were to put on a hundred KPLOW,
it would absolutely crush person. From the PGT perspective. I hope that
didn't do it so that we're the only one hundred KPLO in the world.
So selfishly, I hope they missed that opportunity. Yeah, I mean I
think I agree with you on all of them. You know, seniors high
roller to me, like you can just kind of bunch it up into that
quote unquote Seniors Week type of thing. Yeah, you have the seniors,
you have the super seniors. I would target ten k for the price point
for that. I mean, that's what the WPT did. They got one
hundred and sixty two entries, so that's you know, one point five one
point six million dollars in the prize school almost a four n ok first place
prize that was won by Daniel Lowry. But also like with that event,
you're starting to get a lot of players who are aging into the Yeah,
like they were the most popular players like during the poker boom, you know,
and I think that they would start playing this event, like in Eric
Sidel who finished in eleventh place in the WPT Seniors high Roll, or like
you know you have John Juwanda, he played it as well, he finished
in sixteenth place, like Phil Helmy's gonna get out there, like, you
know, all these types of guys, these big names, and maybe maybe
they lean to skip if it's like the one K seniors, right, just
because of the field size and all that sort of stuff. But if it's
a high roller, if it's a ten k, right, I think that'd
be a really really cool tournament. You know, you gotta figure, anytime
the WSP does something that somebody else might have done, the WSP is just
gonna be what two x bigger at least three x bigger. So if the
WPT ten K Seniors high Roller got one hundred and sixty two entries, WSP
is getting three hundred four hundred five hundred, right, I mean, like
especially if you put it in that week, right, I mean that like
that would be amazing. So I would absolutely love to see that one.
I think you gotta do some sort of PKO. I mean, I get
the labor intensive side of things, and it's not easy when you have a
tournament series at the scale that the WOP is. But so maybe you take
a PKO and you just go higher buying with it, like a twenty five's
the easiest. Yeah, you know, so that the field size is a
bit condensed. But I think p ko's are are a ton of fun,
So I would certainly incorporate that. I know they have the the mystery millions
already on the schedule. I know they have what the didn't they have like
a ten K mystery bounty type of ten k? Yeah? That make you
one? Yeah, Like I think you could do probably another mystery bounty like
a twenty five k or something. I mean I always feel like kind of
the sky's the limit for like what the WSOP can do. Right, So
there's that and then listen, I mean I don't I don't care if they
take the crown from us in terms of the biggest buy in PLO event.
I want them to do it. I want them to do one hundred K
POO, like, let's go right, like, I I mean, I
even think that they could make a two It could have a be a two
hundred fifty K for all I care. I mean, like, well that
actually I would prefer that than a hundred I mean, just really, don't
und let's just go to fifty. I mean the numbers for the one hundred
k the fifty K PLO tournaments or sorry, the fifty K and the twenty
five K PLO tournaments last year were bananas. Yeah, PLO is lit right
now, like it is absolutely on fire. I mean now they have they
have a good kind of test case in that let's say the PGT PLO series
absolutely bombs out. Okay, maybe you pull back, right, I don't
think anyone's gonna guess that it's gonna bomb because PLO is incredible right now,
like everyone loves it, so so yeah, I would go for it.
I would slap, you know, a two hundred and fifty K polo tournament
out there and just be like, let's go, like you're gonna get what
forty people? YEA easily in a two fifty K eight plo. I mean
it's gonna be freaking bananas. I mean it's and it's it's like so many
different players than you see in like the two hundred and fifty k no limit,
right, It's just because it's just such a different group op and like
you just get some of these guys, A lot of the guys that came
out and played the hundred k PELO super high roll over that we did.
You know that you don't see play one hundred k tournament if it's no limit
hold them, right, So I think that that would be very cool to
see. And then and then I guess one more thing that I'm I would
like to see is like how are they attacking the main event this year?
Right? So last year was obviously a big, big push. They did
push two years ago to hopefully get the record number, but last year was
really the push, right Yea, they hit it. They smashed it over
ten thousand entries, like just blew it out of the park. They made
first place twelve point one million, that made sure topped the twenty six twelve
million. So like all of that sort of stuff, like what what's gonna
be the thing this year for the main event, like, how are you
gonna take it to the new height? Right? Is that infinitely more satellite
winners, satellite partners? Like is it? Are you taking that approach and
qualifying more people? Are you putting some sort of guarantee on it? Obviously
we know that there was a whole big thing about in December World Poker Tour
versus WSP World Poker Tour. I mean, they officially have the title as
largest guaranteed poker turner right now. We know that WSP main event gets a
larger prize school, of course, but they haven't put a guarantee on the
prize pool, so that that I guess marketing headline is currently with the World
Poker Tour. So does WSP come swinging right say hey, we're going to
guarantee one hundred million, We're gonna do this, We're gonna do that.
I mean, who knows, right, I put nothing past anyone. So
I'm kind of excited just to see how they attack the WSP. I mean,
I think I think after last year topping ten thousand, and some people
were like, the way it's going, it might hit eleven thousand. Like,
I mean, I think we're probably safe to say ten thousand is maybe
the new floor, you know, unless they totally pull back on like satellite
qualifiers now, but I don't, I don't expect that to happen. So
if ten thousand is the new floor, I mean, where are we going
from here? Right? So I'm very much looking forward to that. So
it's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of fun. And then of course
this isn't you know about an event that's you know, on or not on
the schedule, but just separately looking forward to, like dissecting it from a
streaming perspective, seeing what we can put out there for the fans, you
know, trying to break that sort of thing down is always like a big
giant puzzle. I know you love it as well, so I love the
It's a labor of love, man, come on. So so yeah,
I'm uh, I'm excited for it, you know, I can't wait to
see. I guess what kind of new additions they always they also always have,
like don't they always like kind of drop one or two things off.
I don't know about always. I mean, yeah, you probably look at
the numbers and say, Okay, this event hasn't performed well, let's okay,
Well, is there any event that come out to you that might not
have performed well in recent years? I can't even like. I mean,
the only events that really stand out to me that if you told me,
hey, we're cutting these, I don't think anyone care. Really, it
would be the short deck events. You know we took no we we as
in plug oe. H. Don't people hate like the OE tournaments? No.
I think there's a there's always there's an OE tournament. It's just NonStop
bitching for that. That's probably David Baker, but like there's a lot of
people that love OE out there. It's a short deck in America. I
just I don't think it's caught on like it was expected. We tried to
do it, it didn't really take off. WSP Obviously people play it like
they want to try something. Maybe, you know, I don't think too
many people would care if you got rid of say the ten k or the
fifteen hundred. Maybe you want to keep one, but like I could see
that like going away. Outside of that, I don't like, I don't
think there's anything you really like need to remove. It's just about figuring out
how do we add some new events? You know, you know, do
we want to go from like we said, ninety five to one hundred or
to one hundred and ten, you know in a few years. It's it's
you know, you're gonna have to cut some cut some things away and then
add new things. It's it's just hard to do that. But yeah,
in my mind, get rid of the short deck, no one will care.
Leave everything else. Add some new stuff, and uh, you know,
maybe we see a ten k badogie. The bougie went pretty well.
I could see a ten k badoogie added, that'd be pretty fun. I
also think that they could probably target I know I talked about, like,
you know, the the turf war I guess if you could call it between
WPT and w SIP in December, although it really wasn't a turf war because
one was in Vegas, one was in Bahamas, but a community war,
I guess. But the WPT got a lot of buzz for the WPT Prime
Championship right one K ten million dollars guaranteed or or was it five million dollars
guarantee? But then they got ten million I can't what it was. Could
the WIP come out swinging with a one K and have like a ten million
dollar guarantee. I mean they'd hit it easily, right, Like, is
that at least a WSP like doing like guarantees, Like they don't really need
it, Like I know they have seen gute but listen, I understand you
just understand that. Yeah, but like, I mean, but that's what
we saw in December, right, So that's why I'm I'm bringing it up.
It's like you don't you don't think you're gonna see something and then you
see it, like they were very much pushing WSP paradis, like, hey,
it's X amount of dollars guaranteed. It's fifteen million for this, it's
five million for Like they were pushing the guarantees, and you don't often see
the WSP pushing guarantees. Yeah, they push guarantees for like the Gladiators of
Poker. This that you know, but but everything else is like it's we
all know ws AP is the biggest and best series, Like we all know
that, right, So they don't even really need the guarantees. But now
that their biggest competitor has come out and and basically taken the in a way,
taking the guarantee crown and not only have they like taken that guarantee crown,
but like WPT is certainly like strutting around with it, right, So
is that like okay, we got to come out, like we got to
like lay the hammer down and be like, listen, we don't need guarantees,
but we're gonna do it just because we're going to prove a point here,
you know, like we're gonna That's what I would do, right,
I mean, well why not? I guess the follow that you know,
we're talking from the WSP perspective. If I'm WPT, am I doing the
July event again? Are we going? Are we going to continue this little
bit? We've talked about this before. If they do that event, it
has to be a main tour event, no more special event. Nonsense.
Well you need to call up your buddy, uh, mister Plisker, I'm
tell him that, call up my butt. No, I'm not going to
call up anyone. I'm just gonna put it on here. Matt Savage will
hopefully hear it while he is on the golf course, hopefully hitting a hole
on one, taking money from a bunch of people, and then he can
text Adam and tell him, actually, you know what, they can't get
no special event nonsense. Okay, tour. So WSP released their schedule last
year, right then WPT, you know, like everyone else in the in
the city waits for WSPS and then they figure their stuff out and they put
theirs out. They put those out. Obviously WSP got mad then they did
the whole Paradise thing. Does WSP now think okay, win probably, I
mean WPT probably want to do something in July. Should we stack the later
part of the schedule with stuff to prevent them, Like you know, there's
always the ten K six MAC six max is very late. Maybe they move
that up a bit. Maybe they add you know, you mentioned some two
day twenty five k's. Maybe they do some of that stuff to in a
way like prevent WPT putting their main tour, you know, and the back
end back and of the WSP. Mate, what do you think do you
think they're gonna try and play a little bit of a bit of chess here?
I mean they might, who knows, right? Oh, another thing
that I thought of, I'm curious if they do anything with Player of the
Year, right, I know, Sean diging the score kind of kind of
everything. You know, remember Sean Deeb last year, I think it was
on on the podcast where he was like, I'm trying to get together like
everyone puts in money and like we do it ourselves type of thing, like
you know, does does that? Obviously Sean Deeb was always in contention for
for WSP Player of the Year. He's a big WSP player personality, like
somebody that I'm guessing they have a relationship with to some extent, So like
is he pushing for it? Are they going to do something? Are they
going to like have try and bring a big, big sponsor into it.
And then also the stuff about like you know, changing like the formula or
the way that it's scored or whatever. I think Daniel and Legrando has come
out and said that like they are looking to do some changes in that regard.
So I don't know, are they you know, I you know,
again, wait and see. But I'm curious if if that sort of stuff
happens. But you know, we'll find that out when the schedule comes out
and everything. But I would be curious to see what. I not find
out that until May, right, Like, I don't think they anyone announced.
Sure, yeah, I mean you can definitely do yeah, but I'm
still as it pertains to the w SP and stuff, like, I'm sure
certainly gonna be looking for that if it's a thing, or or maybe we
just don't see it and it's not a thing and it's the same as it
was. I don't really know, but you know, I would like I
mean, I don't want to speak on the points scoring. I don't know
if I'm educated enough to discuss that and whether it's good or bad. I
would like a prize, you know, I know, what have they done
before? They do a banner, a main events seat. I think that's
it. Like, I know they've done a truck before. I mean,
I think they could do some stuff. I think they could work. You
know, if if if I'm a GG poker, I may sponsor the player
of the year, I may put up two hundred thousand dollars of prizes for
like the top five, where first could just be as simple as first as
one hundred K package to WSP Europe and then second is fifty K. Like
do some prizes that actually benefit you know, the WSP and in particular WSP
Europe or WSB Paradise if that's if that's on the cards again, you do
something as simple as that. Doesn't need to be a Ford truck or a
you know for BMW or I think it can be stuff that actually benefits the
WSP product, which is making people play more events outside of Las Vegas.
Yeah, I mean, listen, I am always a sucker for a car,
you know. I know they they did that before. Of course,
I believe the WPT did that. Two years WPT did a car, Yeah,
for the Tournament of Champions. I think the one year when you know
we're talking about wspwas mainavment champion Daniel Wineman when he won the Tournament of Champions.
I think he won a car. Maybe it was an Alpha Romeo.
I can't remember exactly kind of maybe he took the cash, I have no
idea. But then there was a Corvette another year, So didn't WPT do
was it the Gardens Poker Championship gave out a car? Oh? Yeah,
I think they gave out a Mercedes. Yeah, I remember that one.
Listen. I'm down for cars, I like and I know a lot of
times like people end up just taking the cash equivalent or whatever, like,
but still like could you imagine a car like in the center of the horseshoe
room, like where the horseshoe table is running wrapping like vinyl stick stuff,
Like I should actually send you my Cadillac of poker rendling, like that's what
they should do. Oh like on a rot on a rotating platform. So
it's like slowly spinning. Giveaway guy for your golf car. Let's go.
That would be fun. That'd be something like you would probably keep that to
give away, like a Guy Fieri car, because doesn't he drive that sexy
red car when he does diners drive dives like because that ties into the horseshoe.
It could be a promotion for guy horse like she give away a horse?
Horse? A horse? Give it away a horse? What's wrong with
the horse versus a golf cut? Come on, which would you more likely?
Now you have to still keep the golf cut, But a horse is
pretty cool? Come on? I mean, I guess we need Guy Fieri
on a horse delivering the money during the main event. We've got to talk
to We're got to talk to the big dogs. Drives in nineteen sixty eight,
the red nineteen sixty eight Chevy Camaro SS convertible. Let's go get one
of those babies. Guy Fieri can drive it in like let's road and throw
the key. That's what like, let's go, that's what I want.
I want want the guy fiery Chevy asset, like, let's go being a
horse man, give me a horse. And that's had an old school car
for I think it was the old Tournament champions that I won, the McAvoy
one, right, yeah, yeah, I wonder if he has that car.
Cars are the best. Would you Let's say it was a cool car,
like this Chevy Camara you're talking about, would you keep it? We
are you taking the money because I keep it? Yeah, Like it was
a cool I'm not talking about like a truck. I'm not talking about like
what do I win? What are we talking about? Player of the year.
Yeah, it's Player of the year. Yeah, I probably keep the
car. Yeah. I think if it's a figure, if you're winning Player
of the Year, you're probably winning enough money. So whatever. Honestly,
I'd be more inclined to keep a car than a bracelet. It's like,
you know, the car, you know, be like, yeah, I
won this ship, let's go, this is it? Like you know,
I mean it's it's I think a car is cool. For sure. We
should give a out for PGT Player of the Year. I'm in, like,
can we get one into the studio? Like would it? I mean
it wouldn't fit, but yeah, like cars are like the best, you
know. I know it's obviously like it's hard to get a sponsor and then
you have to get the rights to with the car and like it's a whole
thing. Because we went through with the WPT Like I totally get it.
Oh and it was an Audi. I believe that Daniel Winen won. It
was an Audi, yes, because I remember we had a press release on
it. You know, we had to get the release to be able to
show the AUDI logo. Like it's a whole thing. But you know,
the WSOP is the biggest Brandon poker, right, I mean if anyone can
get a car, they can get a car. Yes, definitely, And
there's definitely I mean we've seen the rams up to that Horseshoe feature table.
You can definitely get a car in that. You might have to hit there
for sure, Like call up our guys, tell him to start building the
stage, Like who's the guy that does all the ads in Vegas for the
cars, and he does all those wacky ads. He's like British or something.
You know, we need to call him out, John Ball, Is
that it? I think I don't know. He like lives by me,
just so you know, but will yeah find the house flake. I think
it's finlay Tyota right yeah, John Barr. Okay, let's get John Bar.
Look I google his name and like the first second picture is him in
a chicken suit. This is this is that guy right here, John Bar.
That's okay. So if guy fear he's out driving in the nineteen sixties
Chevy Camaro, then then we're gonna get John Barr chicken suit. Don got
it? We figured it out. I mean, listen, we let off
the show, we sold the issues, told everyone how good good at marketers
we are. And here we are. You know, we're bookending the whole
thing talking about what car we're gonna give away for WSC Player of the Year.
Yeah, but I'm in. I'm in. Let's go, let's get
some cars. Let's make it happen, all right. We don't have anything
else to talk about, and I have no idea. We're so far off
the rails it's not even funny. But if you're listening now, I mean
you're a diehard and God we appreciate you. You don't even know, all
right, So plan going forward whenever the WSP schedule drops. If that's tomorrow,
if that's Friday, if that's Monday, we have no idea. But
you know again, keV Math seems to kind of keep teasing it. When
people ask him when it's coming, he says, like, I think I
expect it this week. I expect in the coming days whatever you're saying.
So he's as in tuned as anyone with that sort of stuff. He is
the WSP social mediaz are. So I will trust what Kevin Math says.
And if we get it tomorrow, if we get it this week, like
we're gonna fire up a pod and we're gonna go through it. We're gonna
look at it, we're gonna see what's on it, we're gonna dissect it
and all that sort of stuff. We're gonna have fun with it. So
it's like unwrapping the biggest and best Christmas gift of the year if you're a
poker player, and I know everyone out there can't wait to see what the
WSB schedule has both Tim and I are are right there with you. So
that's what's gonna be coming up for us. And yeah, that's it,
So stay tuned till that episode. Hopefully we get to have a quick turnaround
and drop it this week. If not, you know, we'll bring it
to you whenever we can. And that's that. My name is Donna Peters,
his name is Tim Duckworth, and we'll talk to you guys later.
