Donny Peters. His name is Tim
Duckworth. We are in Las Vegas.

4
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,440
We are live from the twenty twenty
three Poker Masters. That's gonna be pretty

15
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,480
Another giveaway that is probably way,
way, way more important than the one

16
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,200
I just told you about that is
the poker Go Social Media Dream Seat Giveaway.

17
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:32,920
This is important because this could be
your ticket to plane in the PGT

18
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:38,480
Championship one million dollar free roll.
That is right. There will be I

19
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,519
don't know fifty players, give or
take a little bit. Forty players are

20
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,640
going to qualify from the PGT leaderboard. Then we got a handful of dream

21
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:49,040
seat winners. You could be one
of those dream seat winners if you just

22
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:53,959
head on over to PGT dot com
slash gleam. Make sure it's all lowercase

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,519
by the way. You know,
we've had some case sensitive issues out there.

24
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,599

that'll take you to the page where

them, all I believe you get
like fifty six or fifty four raffle tickets

28
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:19,280
something like that total. Every time
you complete a task, you get a

29

certain number of raffle tickets. Those
raffle tickets, they're virtual raffle tickets.

Moving on news and happenings. Poker Masters,

51
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:54,240
Baby. We are four events in. We have six events to go.

52
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Event number five is currently running.
If you're unaware of what Poker Masters

53
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,680
is, you've a been sleeping under
a rock and b you can listen to

54
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,560
what I'm about to say right now. It is a high stakes tournament series

55
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,800
run by Poker G slash the PGT
at the Poker G Studio in Las Vegas.

56
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,079
This year's event has ten events.
They are six ten ks, it's

57
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,800
all. They're all nobleman hold them
by the way. Six ten ks,

58
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:28,680
three twenty five ks, one fifty
k. You accumulate PGT leaderboard points over

59
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,560
the course of the series. The
player that tops that leaderboard is the official

60
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:39,079
Poker Masters Champion. They win the
prestigious purple jacket. They also get a

61
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:46,439
fifty thousand dollars championship bonus. We
have one player through the first four events,

62
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,519
who I mean Tim? Have you
gotten his jacket size? Have you

63
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,800
asked mister thomas Owskis what size he
is, because he's running away with this

64
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,639
thing. It's a small Yeah,
we've already ordered it. It's it's on

65
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,759
its way. He should be here
on Thursday and we'll probably award it early

66
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:09,800
in events seven. Why not so? Vladis thomas Awskis is a Lithuanian player.

67
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,360
Has enjoyed some success in poker outside
of the PGT as it pertains to

68
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:21,480
our majors inside the studio, but
this is really kind of his big breakout

69
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,800
on the PGT and especially here in
Las Vegas. Inside the studio, he

70
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,639
did win I think it was twenty
sixteen UKIPT Dublin Main event. He had

71
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,120
fourth place in the twenty twenty two
US Europe Main event. He's coming off.

72
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,600
It's either a four hundred thousand dollars
four and fifty thousand dollars score at

73
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,519
EPT Barcelona that just wrapped up.
Now he's here, he's in Las Vegas.

74
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,360
He won event number one, topped
a field of one hundred and fourteen

75
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:55,519
injuries to win almost two hundred and
forty thousand dollars. Then he finds himself

76
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,800
at the final table of event number
two, The next day he's finishes sixth.

77
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,519
There cashes for fifty eight thousand,
two hundred dollars. Then he makes

78
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:08,399
the final table of event number three
and guess what he wins that one for

79
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:12,120
two hundred and eight thousand, nine
hundred dollars. So first three events,

80
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,279
vlaud Is Thomas Houskis a Lithuanian player, wins the first one, six in

81
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:20,360
the second one, wins the third
one. He has five hundred and six

82
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:26,480
PGT leaderboard points, which is just
about double anyone else on the leaderboard.

83
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,879
To put a little context around that
point total, last year Seawan Winter won

84
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,279
the purple jacket with four hundred and
sixty six points. So vlaud Is Thomas

85
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,160
ouskis, I mean could probably just
go home at this point. I'm not

86
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:42,120
really sure if that's the case,
but if he's close, can I give

87
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,000
you some breaking news This twenty one
player is remaining in event five and the

88
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:55,480
chip leader is they're great. He
just had a double elimination of Jonathan Little

89
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,639
and Nacho Berbera. He had the
kings they held up against the sixes and

90
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,639
the a side off on he is
chiplading. Twenty one player is remaining thirteen

91
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,360
in the money now, the two
hundred and four thousand dollars up top for

92
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,519
Vladas just to put in his pocket
and taking home to Lithuania. I mean,

93
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,680
it's absolutely incredible what he's doing.
I'm getting the jacket tomorrow. I'm

94
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,000
expdiving it Thursdays. It's coming Wednesday. Yeah, I mean, just just

95
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:25,240
cancel the rest of the series.
I mean seriously, I mean, this

96
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:30,040
is very similar to what we saw
in the first PGTPLO series with Lataro Guerra.

97
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:32,959
Yeah, yeah, came out.
You know, if you're in the

98
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,399
like the small circle within poker,
I mean you talk about poker being a

99
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:42,399
small circle, Well, the circle
within the circle is the pg is the

100
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:46,040
PLO circle, and Lataro is certainly
within that circle. You know, high

101
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,839
stakes polo player. I'm assuming you
know a lot of players on the high

102
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:55,319
stakes polo scene know who he is, you know, understand him as a

103
00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:59,279
top player. But for like the
common poker fan and for you know,

104
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,040
someone liked him and I you know, it was the first time that we

105
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:07,240
saw him, Lataro Guerra, and
he comes to Vegas, he wins three

106
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:11,439
events, he runs away with the
PGTPLO series leaderboard. Every time he cashed

107
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:16,560
in a tournament, he won the
thing. So it's great to see,

108
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,879
you know, a player come to
a stage like the PGT a stage like

109
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,240
the Poker gro Studio and have the
success that they're having. And you know,

110
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:28,040
we saw it with Latar Guerra and
now we're seeing it with a lot

111
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,600
of Thomas Auskis. I think it's
awesome, you know, new kid on

112
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:35,120
the block who's you know, certainly
taking a big swing here playing with the

113
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,600
big guns in the game, after
having that recent success where he was able

114
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,080
to put you know, four hundred, four hundred and fifty kN his pocket

115
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,639
at EPT Barcelona. So this is
awesome as far as I'm concerned. You

116
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,799
know, I hope he continues to
be crushing the series. Honestly, I

117
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,600
feel like he should just try and
start selling for Super High Rollable and get

118
00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:58,720
in there, because I mean,
this run is just incredible. I mean,

119
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:01,399
actually, no, he should not
sell. He's just DBI and when

120
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,440
the whole thing, you know,
I'm I don't know if he's a gonna

121
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,240
just you know, fire and three
hundred K. Maybe he will, I

122
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,919
don't know, I've seen crazy.
After he wins Event five, six,

123
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,120
nine, and ten, he'll have
enough money. Yeah. I mean at

124
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:18,840
this point, you know, I
feel like I almost feel like, you

125
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:20,679
know, kind of everyone that plays
in the studio every single day for the

126
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,480
program Masters should almost just kind of, you know, pitch in ten k

127
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,279
and be like I need a piecu, I need a piece of this hot

128
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:33,279
streak like three three point nine mock
up. Yeah, I mean, why

129
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:37,000
not go a little bit more?
So? Yeah, I don't I don't

130
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,519
know if anyone's gonna be able to
catch him, especially if, as Tim

131
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,799
just mentioned, you know, we
are recording this on Tuesday, September ninth,

132
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:48,720
right around seven at twenty pm,
that that Thomas howskis is now the

133
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:54,720
chip leader, approaching the money in
event number five. So even just a

134
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,600
cash in that event is like what
sixteen seventeen points something like that, you

135
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:03,600
know, gonna help him extend that
lead once again. And then if he's

136
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,759
able to make a final table,
heck, he could go on to win

137
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:07,960
the thing again. You know,
we've already seen that twice of this series.

138
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,039
He could certainly get a third win, which would just be out of

139
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:13,799
this world. Then, I mean, I don't think anyone's gonna catch him,

140
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,720
But I mean, right now,
it's gonna be tough. You know,

141
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:22,600
there are a handful of other players
on the leaderboard who have multiple cashes.

142
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:26,279
Thomas Auskis, of course, as
we've talked about, has those three

143
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,559
cashes and the two wins. Ren
Lynn has two cashes, Darren Elias has

144
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,840
two cashes, plus Darren Elias also
won an event. Alex Foxton has two

145
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:39,879
cashes, Philip Kavan has two cashes. Been Weighing has two cashes. I

146
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:43,799
think Ryan Reese has three cashes.
Actually, the problem with Ryan Reese and

147
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:46,519
those cashes is that he hasn't gotten
better than tenth, you know, so

148
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,600
he's cashed in three events, but
they've been on the smaller side. So

149
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:56,200
good success, but not the best
success as as it pertains to the leaderboard.

150
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,279
But it's you know, there are
some some chances for people able to

151
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:03,480
catch up. Ren Lynn took third
place an event number one, the event

152
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,120
that Thomas Ouskis won, and then
in event number three, another one that

153
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:09,840
Thomas Ouskis won, he beat Ren
lyin heads up. So Ren Lynn's been

154
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,480
trying to do it. He's just
been denied, you know, a few

155
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,399
different times. And then you know, I hit on that event number two.

156
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,519
That was the one that Thomas Ouskis
finished in sixth place in Darren Elias

157
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,240
getting his second PGT win inside the
studio. He won a USPO event back

158
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,360
in March. Here he is winning
event number two ten k Nolan Holdam took

159
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:37,000
down two hundred and twenty three thousand
dollars. Tim actually spoke with mister Elias

160
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:39,679
afterwards, So we'll play that interview
for you guys now and then we'll come

161
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,559
on back and we'll talk about the
rest of the Poker Masters. Congratulations Darren.

162
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:48,600
Second win here in the shittio this
year following big, big trade of

163
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,600
the USPI. What's it like to
get, you know, a second PGT

164
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:54,360
cop right here in the Punkamauskas feels
good. I mean, competing against the

165
00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:58,559
best players my favorite place to play. So anytime you get to win at

166
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,000
a place like this, it's awesome. Let's talk about this final table.

167
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,720
A couple of players you've got a
lot of history with, you played a

168
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,360
lot with What's it like coming into
a final table knowing these players quite well?

169
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,399
It's interesting. It helps, and
this particular one with the chip distribution

170
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:16,279
and knowing Ben weighing it's kind of
with him having the Chipwli like that,

171
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,200
he's going to drive the action and
pushing a lot of chips in the thoughts,

172
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,679
and I was fortunate enough to win
a couple of flips against him to

173
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,720
put myself in a good position.
But he's going to be driving the action

174
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:26,399
when he comes into the Chipoli like
that. You know, second on the

175
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,320
leaderboard for Pokamasa's but I think most
importantly you are about twentieth twenty first place

176
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,840
on the PGT leaderboard. You know, a million dollars free role at the

177
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:37,879
end of the year. How important
is it, you know, chasing these

178
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:39,879
points as the season starts wrapping up. It's something I look at. I'm

179
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:43,159
not going to build my schedule around
it, but certainly something that is a

180
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,240
goal. And then to be in
the top forty for the years definitely an

181
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:48,879
accomplishment, and I hope I get
a chance to playing that free role.

182
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,039
All right, That was Darren Elias. I got a question for you,

183
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,440
Tim, but I want to hit
on the other winner of a vent number

184
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,279
four at first, and then it
we'll circle back because I kind of want

185
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:03,639
to pair the question together. Vent
number four Chino Reem is the winner.

186
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,840
There he takes home two hundred and
eighteen thousand, four hundred dollars just quickly.

187
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:13,000
Good numbers so far through the first
four events or first five events really

188
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,120
of Poker Masters. First event one
hundred and fourteen entries, next one ninety

189
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,799
seven, then eighty seven, then
a vent number four gets up to ninety

190
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,279
one. Then we're sitting on eighty
five here in event number five that's running

191
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360
right now. So Chino rem gets
the winner in event number four. Darren

192
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Elias got the win in event number
two. I want to know from you.

193
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:37,000
I guess this is this is two
two questions, okay, One in

194
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,080
your mind, are Darren Elias and
Chino ream poker Hall of Famers? And

195
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,919
then two do you think they'll actually
get into the Poker Hall of Fame?

196
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:56,559
I think they are Hall of famous
more Darren than China. Will they get

197
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:03,080
in here? And then Chino?
Yeah? What? Yeah? WHOA just

198
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,600
my opinion. I'm look, China
has been an idiot at times with money?

199
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,200
Is that why? I mean,
like, if you're just talking about

200
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,799
the poker I mean, look,
it's like it's it's like saying, choose

201
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,600
the child you love more. I
think you can really do it. So

202
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,559
I'm just waiting Darren slightly more than
Chino. But will they actually get in

203
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:35,679
the Hall of Fame. No,
under the current Hall of Fame conditions.

204
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,080
So I'll hit on that part first
for my response in terms of like will

205
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,840
they actually get in, I lean
know for both of them, But what

206
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,120
I will say is that I think
Chino Reem has a better chance of getting

207
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:56,000
than Darren Elias. And the reason
why, the reason why I say that

208
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,600
is that the Poker Hall of Fame
ten to skew wsop and Chino I think

209
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,799
he made the do we made event
final table? Okay? And I mean

210
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,559
I'm just saying who has you and
I for starters? I mean Darren Elias

211
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:24,159
for another one. I mean,
you know, so I think that there's

212
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:30,120
that, you know, Darren Elias
has obviously had a lot of success in

213
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:35,159
his career, Gino Chino as well. World Poker Tour. Darren Elias gets

214
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:39,240
the nod He's got four titles,
she know's got three. But then China

215
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,240
one the Poker Stars Caribbean Adventure main
Event, which is, yeah, one

216
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,799
of the top tournaments in the world. Like, I feel like that kind

217
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,879
of gets forgotten about in the World
of China. Ream also won Listen in

218
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,879
Epic Poker League title. They were
just discussing that. I mean, I

219
00:15:56,879 --> 00:15:58,679
don't know how it came up,
but they were discussing it. When the

220
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:02,639
Epic Poker League first came on the
scene, I thought it was like the

221
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:06,399
greatest thing since slic spread. I
loved it. I was there with Poker

222
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,679
News at the time covering the events. I loved the idea about it.

223
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,679
I loved the players that they had
coming out there. I like the fact

224
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:18,039
that they had the big buying of
twenty k they had that like pro am

225
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,600
qualifier thing that like players could qualify
in. Like, I like the whole

226
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:25,279
idea about it. You know,
really trying to create like a league format,

227
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,759
a round poker, you know,
kind of similar to what we're doing

228
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:30,759
for the PGT, although I think
at this point like we're doing it a

229
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,879
lot better. I mean, you
know, there was obviously a lot of

230
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:38,279
problems with the Epic Poker League that
said, you know, China did win

231
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,960
one of the events for for a
million bucks, but I mean, I

232
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,279
don't know he had the what two
thousand and eight main event had that score

233
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,840
there, you know, recently finished
what was at second place a couple of

234
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,279
years ago. A year ago to
Elliot Lezra in a ten k PLO eight

235
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,200
tournament at the WSP. You know, has had success within the studio,

236
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,599
as has you know, Darren Elias
now too, Chino m Onea. What

237
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,440
was it the heads of showdown?
Yeah, we had. So you know,

238
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,559
I don't tell you what blow for
blow in terms of like you know,

239
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,839
you could say, well, Chino
won this, and then you could

240
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,319
say, I raise you, Darren
won this exactly what he won this,

241
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,880
you know, so you can go
back and forth. But I think these

242
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:29,359
players, you know, probably should
be Hall of famers at least, like

243
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,440
if I was putting together a poker
Hall of Fame, like who would I

244
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,640
want in it? Like, I
think they could probably be in there.

245
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,759
Now. I understand that, you
know, the elephant in the rooms as

246
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:44,440
it pertains to Chino as obviously his
previous financial problems, right you know that

247
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,319
said, I mean, I don't
know everything about it, obviously. You

248
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:53,759
know, we're outsiders, we're not
inside within those little circles. From all

249
00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:57,400
accounts, now, he's kind of
cleaned things up and is in the right

250
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,079
direction, so you know, does
it that stuff always, you know,

251
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,079
kind of get forgotten about, you
know, I don't really know how that

252
00:18:04,079 --> 00:18:08,759
plays overall. I don't think it
gets forgotten. Specific to Chino the poker

253
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:14,160
player, I think he has an
argument, no, I agree with as

254
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,559
poker players, they deserve, you
know, to be in the mix,

255
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,480
if not to be Okay, I'm
not going to say first ballot, but

256
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,200
we have seen from the way people
have voted in or not voted into the

257
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:30,400
Hall of Fame under the current conditions
that you know, some of these things

258
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:36,160
and that they may have done in
the past still surrounds them and it will

259
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,359
probably forbid them getting voted in.
I'm talking from Chino's perspective. So that's

260
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,400
why I think Darren actually has a
significantly better chance to get in. I

261
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,000
just don't think that if we're only
putting in one or maybe two people a

262
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:52,440
year, that that I don't think
they're going to get in at all,

263
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,400
which kind of sucks. So they
need to change. They need to change

264
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,640
the thing. They need to change
the system a little bit, I think,

265
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,200
and allow more people in. But
that's not really up to us to

266
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,599
decide. I don't want to get
too far into the into the rabbit hole

267
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,480
that is the Poker Hall of Fame. But you know, did just want

268
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,119
to bring that up because you know, I certainly think these these players are

269
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,160
they're amongst the best tournament players in
the game. You know, I think

270
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,160
Darren Elias these days doesn't put in
the biggest volume, but when he does,

271
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,160
you know, come out to play, always seems to be an extremely

272
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,039
formidable opponent. You know, somebody
who's kind of always there. You know,

273
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,759
he has that nickname of the end
Boss for a reason. And and

274
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:37,480
then and then Chino Ream, you
know, he's I mean I've said it

275
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:41,960
for many years. And then you
know, shout out to my twenty five

276
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:45,480
K Fantasy partner Matt Clark. You
know, we've also been we've been on

277
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:51,759
the Chino Ream train together where you
know, Chino reem kind of like ten

278
00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:55,480
K big buying events, like when
it when it you know, when it's

279
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:59,799
nut cutting time back against the wall. Like I feel like there are fewer

280
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:03,279
Peo people that I would rather back
than Chino Rem in terms of like performing

281
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:08,519
in those events. He just always
does it. Like the Big Buying World

282
00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:11,720
Poker two events that he's won,
that at the Poker League event that I

283
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,279
just talked about the Pcamian event,
is you know, a really high buying,

284
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:21,079
really tough field tournament, you know, these PGT events that he's winning,

285
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:23,240
you know that sort of stuff,
Like he's just like the thing with

286
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,400
Chino is like if you can just
you need to get him to like just

287
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:32,359
one hundred percent focus, And I
feel like he's performs extremely well. You

288
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,480
know, I also don't necessarily think
that he's like one of these robot solver

289
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:38,680
guys. You know, he's very
much a live like field player in a

290
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:42,519
lot of ways, has a personality, is fun to watch, thinks outside

291
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:47,000
of the box, all that sort
of stuff. So I guess what I'm

292
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,319
getting to that is I think Chino
rem is a bit underrated, you know,

293
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,319
for all the success that he's had. And I think people these days,

294
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,480
you know, they're quick to this
point that like, oh, you

295
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,960
know, it's still stupid old Chino. Like I'm not gonna kind of celebrate

296
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,359
his success on the Felt, but
I think the stuff that he has done

297
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:11,039
on the Felt is certainly deserving of
recognition. All Right, So I mean,

298
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:14,160
Polgram Masters, what else you got
kind of big takeaways here? You're

299
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,519
there every single day as am I
but sometimes I'm stuck in the commentary booth

300
00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:21,039
and I can't necessarily get out there
and like see everything that's happening, So

301
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,680
like, what are some kind of
big picture observations as we approached this halfway.

302
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:26,880
I think the biggest thing, you
know, I brought alert toward on

303
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,240
the first day, it was just
the we're just missing a bunch of people.

304
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:34,200
When I say missing, like where
are you? Just the regulars,

305
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,240
like the people that are here every
day normally playing all the ten k's and

306
00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:42,759
then we'll dabble in the twenty fives. They're just not here. Now.

307
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,319
I know a lot of them are
traveling, they're you know, taking some

308
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,440
time off, or they're in you
know, they're playing other events down in

309
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:55,079
Australia or in Asia. So look, they all have reasonable excuses, no

310
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,279
problems with that, but you know, you slightly touched on some of the

311
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:03,599
early numbers. You know, Event
one, one hundred and fourteen entrants just

312
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:10,079
a mammoth field size. Imagine if
the twenty odd people that we would expect

313
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,319
in these events we're here. I
I let me say one thing before people

314
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,200
jumped out. I just want to
like mammoth field size for us inside the

315
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:22,200
two correct the events, Like,
I don't want people saying like, you

316
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,799
have one hundred and fourteen entries is
not that Yeah, we get it,

317
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:30,200
okay, but we're talking in relation
here, so don't go blowing up our

318
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,319
text messages. Just let me put
that out there for everyone. That's what

319
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,160
Tim's talking about here. Yeah,
you know, there's if we had those

320
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,640
twenty odd players that would normally hear
that normal locks in our ten case,

321
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,720
we would have struggled to fit them
in. So it's a good sign that

322
00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:49,079
we're seeing a lot of new faces, a lot of fresh faces, and

323
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,599
it helps, you know when people
decide, hey, I'm not going to

324
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,359
play that at I don't want to
keep these numbers high, you know one

325
00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:00,039
fourteen, ninety seven, eighty seven, ninety one, eight five. You

326
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,119
know, you just look at our
most recent big series, which is the

327
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,319
USPO that has a very similar schedule. You know, we had two massive

328
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,000
opening events with over one hundred entrants, but then it's chopped off, you

329
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:15,279
know, ninety three, seventy seven, eighty eight, sixty two. So

330
00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:21,119
it seems to be holding strong.
You know, a lot of unique entrants,

331
00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:22,880
you know, higher than average,
a lot of new faces, and

332
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,559
it's good. These The best thing
about these new faces, they're in the

333
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:30,759
studio for the first time. They're
experience experiencing everything we have to offer,

334
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,680
and I feel like, come the
next series, we may see them again.

335
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,039
The more people that are educated about
what you know is on offer here

336
00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:44,240
in the studio, from the PGT, from the Aria Poka staff, they're

337
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,480
more likely to come back. And
that's a good thing for everybody. Yeah,

338
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:48,960
I mean, I've been impressed by
the numbers that've been impressed by some

339
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,680
of these new faces that we're seeing
out there battling, been a little bit

340
00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:56,000
unimpressed by some of the people that
aren't there. I would say chief among

341
00:23:56,079 --> 00:24:00,160
the no shows is has to be
Sean Winter for me, cosidering he's the

342
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:06,599
defending Pokermasters Champion, so, but
Shwan's also been a guy where I feel

343
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,319
like some series he's there from the
start, in for the first ten K

344
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,559
or whatever it is, that opening
event plays the whole thing. Some other

345
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:15,319
times I feel like he doesn't come
in for the first until the first twenty

346
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,519
five K. So it kind of
goes either way with with Shawn Winter.

347
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,519
So maybe we're seeing the ladder here, we're gonna see him, you know,

348
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,480
kind of skip these ten k's,
come in for the twenty five k's,

349
00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:29,920
the fifty k and then lead into
Super High Rollable, which is next

350
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,200
up on the PGT schedule. So
it's gonna be interesting. I mean,

351
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:37,599
Justin Bonomo showed up today, so
he's out there. I think, you

352
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,319
know, once we get to the
twenty five k's, maybe we'll start drawing

353
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:42,640
in, you know, Nick Petranngelo, Jason Koh and like those guys as

354
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,119
they you know, get a little
bit of warming up, I guess you

355
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,480
would say before jumping into that Super
High Rollable three hundred thousand dollars buying.

356
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,960
But overall, I'm like you,
you know, I've been happy with the

357
00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:59,519
numbers, you know, wish we
got some of those regulars in there battling

358
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:03,279
as well to push these numbers even
higher. But good things overall for the

359
00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:10,240
PGT pushing forward. So yeah,
we're missing Phil Helmy too, which I

360
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:18,799
know he often skips a lot of
our series, but this year, compared

361
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,200
to other years, he's really ranking
high on the PT. He came into

362
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:26,440
the Poker Masters series like twelve or
thirteenth or something like that. So I'm

363
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:33,160
like Phil like, let's keep pushing
for that. That's top forty on the

364
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,000
leader wards you can qualify for.
He might not even know about that.

365
00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:41,519
Pray roll all what the championship is. Come on, he has to.

366
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:48,480
He's in here poker Go ambassador,
like somebody talking. Yeah. So yeah,

367
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,920
My My biggest takeaway is I listen, I love the laddist Thomas Ouskis

368
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,160
thing. I just love when you
get kind of new faces in there who

369
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,400
are having some success. We've seen
it in the past various times, you

370
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,599
know, I mentioned most notably Latar
Guerre from the PGTPLO series, and now

371
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,880
Thomas Houscis is really performing well here. So I think it's very cool to

372
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,319
see. We got daily Poker Masters
live streams running every single day other than

373
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,599
Sundays. We do take Sundays off
on the PGT, but now through September

374
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,680
twenty sixth you can tune in to
a Poker Go and catch a daily live

375
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,839
stream and then that's going to lead
right into the Super High Roller Bowl.

376
00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:33,519
It's the eighth edition of the Super
High Rollerbowl. Three straight days of live

377
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:37,680
stream coverage September twenty eight through thirtieth. That is, of course the event

378
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:42,920
that mister Daniel LeGrande one. Last
year, danil mgraney, who finished in

379
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:48,640
sixth place in today's event number four
final table at the Poker Masters, couldn't

380
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,920
get much going lost pretty much every
single hand that he played. Tried to

381
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,119
run a triple barrel bluff against Jonathan
Little, it did not work out.

382
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,480
So Daniel is one of those players
who he's in the studio every single day.

383
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,079
He has a boatload of cashes on
the PGT this year. He's one

384
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:11,160
of the highest, you know cashers
for the PGT this season, but he's

385
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:17,279
flirting with the bottom of the top
forty threshold. I think he came in

386
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:21,599
in like thirty seventh place or something, so something in the thirty somewhere,

387
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,519
you know. Picking up that those
points from the sixth place finish today does

388
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:26,480
help him move up a little bit, but he's going to need to get

389
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:32,680
to work overall to be able to
solidify himself within that top forty. Again.

390
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,519
For everyone out there who may not
know, we keep the PGT leaderboard

391
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:40,200
all season long PGT qualifying events.
If you finished in the money, you

392
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:44,559
earn PGT Leaderboard points. At the
end of the season. The top forty

393
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,519
on that leaderboard qualify for the PGT
Championship million dollars free roll, They will

394
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:52,400
come out to the studio, they
will play in that event. Total free

395
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,359
roll million dollars. First place is
going to be five hundred thousand dollars,

396
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,119
and there's going to be some other
payouts for the final table. That's the

397
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,039
event that if you win one of
those dream seats you can get in and

398
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:08,400
play with those players. So we'll
see if Daniel can get in. I'm

399
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,640
guessing he's gonna get in. I
know the players today you were listening in

400
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,160
as well while you were out there
on the floor. We're talking about like

401
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,279
what's going to be the threshold to
get in, and it seems like the

402
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:23,079
players Alex Fox and Dan mcgarni and
some others kind of think twelve hundred points

403
00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:27,319
is where you need to be.
So so Daniels gonna need to get to

404
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:33,559
work, as are plenty of others
who are on the tenth and No Wins

405
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:37,440
says, yeah, it's kind of
insane. Not only is it No Wins,

406
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,279
I mean, I bet if you
looked at those cashes, he doesn't

407
00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:41,720
have a lot of final tables,
Like this is a lot of like min

408
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,960
cashing stuff. I mean he had
that. I remember he had a second

409
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,559
place finish in the PGTPLO series,
but it was a second place finish in

410
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:56,400
a five K bounty. He didn't
he have a right runner up finish in

411
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,960
the PAILO series. Yeah, I
thought it was the colleague. He had

412
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,920
a third in the Mixed Games deal
is choice, a fifth, a second

413
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,480
to Alan Shan and the Palo bounty. So he's got a second, two

414
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:17,640
thirds and some fourth fifth sixes and
a bunch of main cashes. He's more

415
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,279
foul tables than than I expected.
Didn't do too well at the World Series

416
00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:26,119
of Poker overall, you know which
kind of hurts, you know, when

417
00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:30,000
you're when you're not putting up some
some big numbers there. But you know,

418
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,680
there's a lot of stuff to go. We still have this program Masters.

419
00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:37,599
We have super high Rollable, as
we mentioned, also coming up in

420
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:45,319
October PGT Mixed Games PGT PLO series
the first ever Super high Rollable ploy which

421
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:52,000
we will which we will be live
streaming on poker Go. I believe the

422
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:56,680
second second two days of that tournament, the players are thinking seventy entries for

423
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,000
that one that's what they were talking
about today, because it is because it's

424
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,119
unlike, so a couple things that
are different than the regular super higher rollable,

425
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,759
regular super high rollable three hundred K
buying, noleman hold them and it's

426
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:12,279
a freeze out, correct. Yeah, And then the PLO one is one

427
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:17,440
hundred K buying and there are re
entries one entry, and we know,

428
00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:21,720
oh yeah, and we know these
PLO guys yea love to blast it off.

429
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:25,359
So I don't know, it sounds
like I think it was Daniel.

430
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Maybe some others were thinking, you
know, seventy seventy five entries and that

431
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,240
thing, so that could be a
really big one, a really fun one.

432
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,720
It's our first time ever doing it, so you know, the players

433
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:38,400
like really kind of pushed for it, so they better show up, that's

434
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,799
for sure. I mean, I
think seventy would be an incredible number.

435
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:47,759
And if it's anything like we saw
from the first PGT PLO series, I

436
00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:53,720
mean, the appetite for PLO right
now is at an all time high.

437
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,480
And then later on in the seasonly
Europe stuff, so there's some stuff there

438
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,599
that counts towards the PGT. So
there's some stuff on the WSP Paradise schedule

439
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:08,319
that counts towards PGT. We have
the Last Chance Series that takes place in

440
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:15,440
January, right before the PGT Championships. So a lot of stuff going on

441
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,119
on the Poker Grow Tour overall,
and still a lot of stuff to come

442
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,920
from the Poker Masters. I don't
have anything else unless you do. No,

443
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:26,920
great, sweet, we can get
out of here. You can.

444
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:33,119
You can go home. Thanks go
home as well. And uh yeah,

445
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,319
I don't know when we'll be back. Maybe in a couple of days.

446
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,160
We're definitely gonna try and have to
get Thomas Awskis on at some point.

447
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:44,279
Should we get him after he wins
a vent five or seven, maybe just

448
00:31:44,279 --> 00:31:48,519
wait till a V ten just six
trophies to his name. Supposedly he's a

449
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,440
podcast those I haven't found it yet, so we need to. We need

450
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,880
to ask him about that too.
I've tried to look for it. I

451
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,759
can't find anything. You've tried to
look, you can't find anything. I

452
00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:00,319
know others that have tried to look
and can't find it anything. So have

453
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,200
yet to find it anywhere. But
you know, we'll ask him about that.

454
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,640
We'll talk to him. He is
Lithuanian, but he's you know,

455
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:13,400
very well spoken in English as many
Lithuanians are, so expect to hear from

456
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,960
Thomas Ouskis pretty soon. Did you
did you check YouTube? Because I found

457
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,680
something on YouTube. I found something
on YouTube, but it looked like it

458
00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:22,920
was at least the thing that I
found looked like it was like somebody interviewing

459
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,559
him. No, he has a
channel on YouTube. It's got one point

460
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:35,200
one that like eleven hundred subscribers.
He's only gonna hold on. He's only

461
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,920
got like thirteen videos, but they
look more like vlogs. Last one was

462
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,519
eight months ago. So but early
in the channel, we've logging from this

463
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,079
the Poker Mass. Early in the
channel he has some like hour long ninety

464
00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:51,680
minute long. It's very obvious that
it's a video podcast, like he's interviewing.

465
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,680
So he's interviewing people. It's in
I can't read the title. I

466
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,039
don't understand it, so maybe that's
what he means. It's like a video

467
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,119
podcast. Listen. Word is gonna
have to ask him about it. So

468
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:08,079
we'll hear from Thomas Awskis at some
point, you know, over the next

469
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:12,119
week, we'll get him on the
show interview him and you know, talk

470
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,240
to him about some of the success
that he's having here. It's been fun

471
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:19,759
to watch his little breakout here.
Yeah, I think it's great. And

472
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,400
you know, if this event number
five that Tim talked about him being the

473
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,000
chip leader with us, they approach
the money pans out like these other events

474
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,960
have worked out for him, then
he's gonna be, you know, going

475
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,400
home with another two hunk in his
pocket. All right, don't forget to
