WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.759 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast. 2 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.079 My name is Donny Peters. His name is Tim Duckworth. Guess what, 3 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.280 buddy, what buddy? We are four for four of going with daily 4 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.039 shows. We have not failed yet. Hi five, that's right, let's 5 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.480 go. I hope everyone heard that nice high five between the boys over here 6 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.960 on today's show. I'm also far from farm working out, so am I 7 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.679 Actually that's even more impressive. Let's let's be honest. We know what the 8 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.880 als are like here. Yeah, I mean I feel like the working out 9 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.479 in the morning has helped me. I've just been riding the peloton every morning 10 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.759 for twenty or thirty minutes, and it's been It's been good. It's a 11 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.799 bitch. I mean, you gotta just like you got to force yourself to 12 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.240 do it. I just want to crawl back in bed. But where is 13 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.960 your peloton? I get it in my bedroom. Okay, that makes it 14 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.560 even hotter to not just jump off and get into bed. But my schedule 15 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.760 is we get home at about what it depends on mid night to one. 16 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.920 Last night, I got home at one. I wake up at six to 17 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.719 six thirty because I have to bring the kids to school. My wife goes 18 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.000 to work. She leaves the house at six, So sometimes I'll lay in 19 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.120 bed for about an extra half hour until my son hits me in the face 20 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.159 or something and wakes me up. Their school opens at seven, so I 21 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.400 try, and I try and get them there at seven oh one. Faster 22 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.959 I get them there, the faster they're out of my hair, and then 23 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.840 I can do what I want come home. You know, you might think 24 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.959 I would then crawl back into bed, but at that point I've been up 25 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.560 for like an hour and a half. I'm up. I'm awake. No, 26 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.799 I think it'll throw everything off. Plus I got stuff to do for 27 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.239 work and whatnot, So you know, it is what it is. Anyway, 28 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.400 back to the matter at hand, that is the twenty twenty four World 29 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.120 Series of Poker. We're gonna talk about the conclusion to the five hundred dollars 30 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:15.280 WSP kickoff event won by Daniel Willis. We have the final four set in 31 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:23.520 the twenty five thousand dollars Heads Up Championship. The Dealer's choice is pushing towards 32 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.840 a final table. Tim's favorite person, Sean Deep is in the mix still, 33 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.919 as are some other notable players. That we'll touch on there. The 34 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.960 Omaha High Low Tournament is. I mean, it feels like that tournament's gonna 35 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.560 go over seventeen days. They've been playing the final day today. They're still 36 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.319 over at the final table right now. We are not gonna wait till that 37 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.439 ends. We'll just talk about it tomorrow. We'll update you with where they're 38 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.120 at by time we get to it, and then we'll move on. You 39 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.919 wrote down huge Mystery millions day one b Field. I didn't even look at 40 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.360 the numbers yet, so I did, so we're gonna touch on that. 41 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:05.319 You also wrote down two new WPT winners Crown. I had no idea the 42 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.159 World Poker Tour was happening because for some reason they decided not to lie stream 43 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.120 these two events. Very weird choice. But it is playing in a remote 44 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:19.280 location with TV cameras. Yeah, I don't really understand, but yeah, 45 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.199 and then you wrote down other tournaments, so we'll talk about other tournaments. 46 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.520 I guess I don't know what that means. That was actually left over from 47 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.919 uh oh yesterday, But I was like, did we go over everything we 48 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.719 can? Throwing the limit? Hold them both, throw on the limit, 49 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.000 hold them. We'll touch on the five thousand dollars PLO that kicked off today 50 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.000 as well, and then we'll, uh, we'll call it quits. Sounds 51 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.240 like a pretty good episode if you ask me. This episode of the Poker 52 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.039 Girl podcast is brought to you by Octopi Poker.

All right, first things first, Daniel Willis wins 57 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.560 the five hundred dollars DISIP Kickoff Tournament. Three thousand, four hundred and eighty 58 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.600 five entries in this one, it was a freezeout tournament. Willis came into 59 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.600 today the final day of play. He was the chip leader with eight players 60 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.279 remaining. He battled his way to heads up play with two Timebasip Egal Bracelet 61 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.560 winner Michael Wang. Willis ends up coming out on top. He lost the 62 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:42.240 chip lead for I don't know, maybe a dozen hands, like if that 63 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:48.240 you know, it really was Willis and Wang who showed out at the final 64 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.920 table. They were the top two stacks for ninety nine percent of today's final 65 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.360 table. And if you guys missed the action or you want to relive it, 66 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.759 you can find the dream on PokerGO dot com or on the poker Go 67 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.519 YouTube channel. Pretty quick one so you know you can get through it pretty 68 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.920 easily. Took about an hour and a half hour, forty five minutes something 69 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.800 like that. In and out Willis had I believe it was one doubasip cash 70 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.839 coming into this event. So this this victory a huge one for him, 71 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:24.360 gets his first dibsipa gold bracelet. He also pockets one hundred and seventy five 72 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:29.519 thousand, five hundred and seventy eight dollars in prize money. As I mentioned, 73 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.160 Michael Wang denied a third dobsipa gold bracelet. Michael Wang won a five 74 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:39.839 K back in twenty fifteen for like four hundred and forty six thousand, and 75 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.279 then he won a five K in twenty twenty two for I believe it was 76 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.079 five hundred and forty thousand, five hundred and fifty thousand something like that. 77 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.319 Michael Wang been around for a long time, tournament grinder, very good plays 78 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.639 a bit in the studio on the Poker Go Tour events, so good on 79 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.839 him to make that run. Second place one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars score 80 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.480 for him. This was the tournament that Daniel Legron you placed sixteenth in. 81 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:09.720 Deep runs are also had by Marco Johnson finishing in forty seventh, and Ryan 82 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.680 Reese finished somewhere in the sixties. Deep run by Reese the Beast. The 83 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.560 final table was, I mean it was kind of as as you would expect, 84 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.680 like wait, yeah, I mean at that point of this type of 85 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.920 tournament, as you see with a lot of these you know, sub one 86 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.839 thousand dollars do resip events. I mean, you get to the final table, 87 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:30.560 it's like you just got to find a hand and go with it. 88 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.000 You know, you're just getting your money in. There's not a whole lot 89 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:41.040 of post fop play, but that's just how it is, you know. 90 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:46.240 I thought Willis stayed fairly aggressive as he should with the chip lead. He 91 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:53.920 did pick up kings at a nice time when Yoshi Funayama, I believe was 92 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.600 the gentleman's name, I forget exactly, so forgive me believe he moved all 93 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.600 in under the gun and Willis picked up two kings. Funyama had jack ate 94 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.240 off the kings held and that was a big pot for Willis. Then heads 95 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:13.000 up play he got Willis. This is Willis got unlucky on the first hand. 96 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:17.000 Michael Wang hit the river with a with a king six. He hit 97 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.720 a six on the river. Willis had ace queen. But then it was 98 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.279 a flush for Willis against top pair, top kicker for Michael Wang. That 99 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.279 was a very very big pot that gave Willis a full double up and allowed 100 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.360 him to take a very commanding chip lead. Wang was left with about seventeen 101 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.600 big blinds, maybe a little bit more, and then it was over. 102 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:47.800 Shortly thereafter Willis ended up. He flopped second pair two Wang's top pair. 103 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.759 There was betting to the river. On the river, Wang checked and that's 104 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:57.720 when the board paired with a jack and Willis had a jack. Willis moved 105 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.800 all in. Wang tanked for quite some time. There was a possible straight 106 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.079 out there. I believe it was ace jack ten to seven jack, two 107 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.519 clubs on the flop. Third club came in on the turn, so Michael 108 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:18.360 Wang had ace four ace five I believe, so pretty much a pure bluff 109 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.399 catcher. I mean it was a pure bluff catcher. There are straights out 110 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.680 there. There was obviously trips with the jack. There was a flush possibility 111 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.759 as well, So after a couple of minutes in the tank, Michael Wang 112 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.039 ended up calling it off on the river and that was all she wrote for 113 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.399 him again, Michael Wang taking one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars for his finish 114 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.759 in second place. But the victor in this one, Daniel Willis thirty nine 115 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.679 year old businessman out of the UK. He's taken home his first coveted WSP 116 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.440 Eagle bracelet and one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in Prizeming. All right, 117 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.519 moving on to the twenty five thousand dollars heads Up Champion. What do 118 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.480 you got for me here? Who's left? Sixty four started Heads Up Championship. 119 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.480 Let's just get the name right. What did I say? Well, 120 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.600 first of all, you said head up Championship, so I'm sorry, and 121 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.960 then then you just said the heads up Champion. So maybe Richard producer rich 122 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.240 might better correct me. But unless I'm going deaf, by the way, 123 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.240 who is the bubble he's mashing? According to our group chat mashing the stone 124 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:30.679 bubble. So heads up championship. Yeah, sixty four. We're down to 125 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.720 the final four. We had two matches today. The sad, sad story 126 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.639 about this is that John Smith fifth place? Why is it so sad? 127 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.600 He a big deal, which is awesome, but I just wanted him in 128 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.639 the final four again. I wanted him to get to be honest, no 129 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.840 offense to big John Smith. I kind of wanted him to get another second. 130 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.840 I wanted some like a rush of results. Do you have his results 131 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.480 of we did it yesterday? But what I'm going to say, he's just 132 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.120 his head's up, like get me canceled? But here we go? Oh 133 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.279 my god, please, We're only four episodes in. Do you really want 134 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.720 to get us canceled this early? And I'm just saying, listen, I 135 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.639 love John Smith. I love this story. Yes, but he gets a 136 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.200 heck of a lot of flowers for never having actually won the event. Buddy, 137 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.320 I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I mean, right, I 138 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.120 mean right, come on, I mean, I know we joke. You 139 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.240 know it's the John Smith Invitational. He obviously crushes it, yes, but 140 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.720 he hasn't won it yet. Man twenty fourteen, eleventh place, all right, 141 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.120 twenty sixteenth runner up, twenty seventeen runner up, twenty twenty four fifth, 142 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.559 Find me someone with better heads up results of the World Series of Poker, 143 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.080 John Now, now now that I said that, now that you ran 144 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.840 through those results, I'm going to spend way too much time tomorrow putting all 145 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.559 the results together, all the twenty five k and her ten kas. A 146 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.159 chance that's been a lot of them. Has that? No? I mean 147 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.559 easy, could easily do it. Yeah, and we'll see, We'll see 148 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.559 how you have fun with that one. Find find me someone with than John 149 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.360 Smith's results. I'm just I'm just saying it's get out of here. It's 150 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.879 something that you know, we obviously latch onto. You're saying he has to 151 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.519 win for it to be called the John Smith Invitational. Is that kind of 152 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.879 the underlying point here? I mean, yeah, right, I mean, 153 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.720 like second, second, fifth, damn. I love John Smith. I 154 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.279 want him to win this damn thing so bad. In a way, I 155 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.879 kind of feel like it's, you know, he's starting to get a pretty 156 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.639 big monkey on his back, you know, because he he continues to perform 157 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.279 successfully in this tournament. He gets so close, but he hasn't gotten over 158 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.600 that hump, So like, can we just get him over that hump? 159 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.360 You know, it's he's clearly shown that he has the skill to compete in 160 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.279 this event, which is a very tough, very competitive, very prestigious tournament 161 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.559 at the World Series of Poker, high By and all that sort of stuff. 162 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.120 Let's just get him to that winner circle, you know, Like I 163 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.639 wonder, and I mean, you'll will have never like be able to prove 164 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.960 this or know this, But like I wonder if it creeps into his mind, 165 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.039 like when he gets like, you know, when he gets there and 166 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.000 he's like, does he think like, Okay, I gotta close it this 167 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.480 time? I mean that's only natural. We're all human, right, Yeah, 168 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.679 you're like, okay, I gotta like, I gotta do it this 169 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.440 time two matches away, like I got come on, let's you know, 170 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.120 and then you ultimately foreshort, I don't know, I mean, John Smith 171 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.480 doesn't strike me as someone who were who would get affected by that sort of 172 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.600 thing. But as I said, you know, everyone, he's like, 173 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.559 all right, I'll be back here in three hundred and sixty five days and 174 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.000 I'll get another cash in this. But yeah, John Smith finishing fifth. 175 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:45.720 He was the final match to conclude today's play. He lost to Darius Samuel 176 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.480 Darius, who's gonna play Arta Matrozion tomorrow in the Final four up on the 177 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.480 main stage. This will be the first match that we will be live streaming 178 00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:00.840 on Pokago. One pm Pacific time on Saturday will be for oz Jak versus 179 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:07.879 Nikolai Mamout and for those that want to watch this on Saturday, we're gonna 180 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.679 basically have the the Ferras match for three levels, particular short break We're gonna 181 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.279 switch in the Yata versus Darius match. If you know, this tilts me 182 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.960 If I know, but is that why you're running through exactly how we do 183 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.440 We're gonna get tilted on how we do it. Let me finish it. 184 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.159 Then we show both matches. Producer Rich Mutie, I'm gonna then throw it 185 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.080 to you and I'll tell you why you're right is wrong. But but if 186 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.679 the matches are still going, we're gonna switch them. If they're still going 187 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.320 in two hours, we're gonna switch them again, back and forth. We 188 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.440 think that's the fairest way for final four players. All guaranteed one hundred and 189 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.600 eighty k second prize three hundred K, first five hundred K, and before 190 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:50.720 Donnie gets into his rant, I want to commend the WSP for these payouts 191 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.840 beautifully clean payoss. First thing that I saw it was like five hundred and 192 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.240 nine and seventy eight. It is here, It's five hundred, three hundred 193 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.840 and one eighty one. It's it's chef just beautiful Donnie flores Ya's vendor. 194 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.399 I'm just saying that they should treat it like when you're watching the Champions League, 195 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.000 for example, both matches going on at the same time. That's what 196 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.480 we're doing. No, but we're not showing both in full. We're like 197 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.720 we're like moving one up or you know what I mean, like stream both 198 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.559 people have the option to go. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, 199 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.240 I thought you were going on it. I thought you were going to 200 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.559 go to the previous rant that we discussed when we're behind the can Okay, 201 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.799 different times. What I'll say is that the way we do it is not 202 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.279 optimal and we need to talk to about it. Okay. That that's my 203 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.440 rant. You know, I think people want to see this, man, 204 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.960 I think people love this event, so let's you know, show more of 205 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.879 it. That's my that's my rant there. I will also say that you 206 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.600 know this is this isn't on the rundown. But I'm gonna ask you, 207 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.799 you're the tournament guru, guy, do you think they should have another heads 208 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.720 up tournament? I think they should have a five hundred dollars buying heads up 209 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.000 tall five hundred dollar But then I have enough pe finish on WSP dot com 210 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.799 that comes back with the final eight. We should have it. I was 211 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.200 about to say we should have a thousand dollars buying same concept on WSP dot 212 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.080 com. We should have five thousand. They have a thousand dollars buy and 213 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.320 one at Borgotta every year. Ye was part of like some series. But 214 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:26.039 WSP can handle this now, I believe. But what you do is you 215 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:30.279 set it up for this heads up week where the five hundred comes back on 216 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.919 hypothetic days here Monday, Tuesday, the one K one comes back on you 217 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:39.039 know, Wednesday, Thursday, the bigger five k buying one comes back on 218 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.879 Friday, Saturday, and then on that Saturday or the sorry the Sunday you 219 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.559 start the twenty five k, the live one. You know, I really 220 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.879 like your your idea of doing a very small buy and one inaccessible price point. 221 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.039 But starting it online, think, especially with the launch of the new 222 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.639 software, get it down to I maybe you want to get it down to 223 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.919 four I did I did you crunch the numbers? Hut this whole online to 224 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.399 live hybrid stuff, which this would be a perfect fit for you. You 225 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:10.360 have to obviously give some time for travel, but ideally you're basically you know, 226 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.279 you're gonna have a pretty cool bracelet event. I think I think a 227 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.200 lot of people would play play these. It's also fun. I do like 228 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.600 heads up tournaments. Do you think so you said, what five hundred? 229 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.240 If we really want to think about this, maybe maybe it is five hundred. 230 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.919 Then maybe we do like a see I would say fifteen hundred, but 231 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.279 WSP seemed to like the thousand dollars buying. Yeah, right, so maybe 232 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.720 it's five hundred. Maybe it's you know what, maybe it's maybe it's a 233 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.399 five hundred no limit, it's a one thousand PLO and then it's a five 234 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.679 K no limit. Do you think they should have a one at a bigger 235 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:49.600 buying than twenty five k live hunter K the one hundred K Heads Up Championship. 236 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.240 You know we've discussed this on the PGT a little bit. I mean, 237 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.039 I'm just I just don't think they'll get you know, what's it gonna 238 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.799 be. It could be a bracket of sixteen, maybe eight. It's it's 239 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.680 a tough thing. They could get thirty two. I don't know, man, 240 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.519 I I'd love to say, yeah, let's do it. I just 241 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.960 I think it'd be better going the other way. I think it'd be better 242 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.880 to be all like, you know, do some hybrid events. I think 243 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.519 a five K online hybrid event could be pretty pretty awesome. You know, 244 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.759 obviously you might have to put some caps on there so there are no buys. 245 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.480 I hate. I hate the buys. I hate the you know, 246 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.200 how you get the rebate? Remember that year they did the rebate if you 247 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.240 if you made it through. I don't like that. I do like a 248 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.720 clean bracket. So maybe the five K is you know, one twenty eight. 249 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.640 Maybe the one k is you know in that three four, five hundred 250 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.000 range, whatever the factor of the bracket is, and then the five hundred 251 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.400 one. You could probably just do an uncapped and maybe give some rebates because 252 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.079 it won't matter at the end point. But yeah, I think hopefully next 253 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:55.680 year we see some improvements to heads up tournaments of the WSP. If any 254 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.559 of our listeners agree and would like to see some more heads up tournaments, 255 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.039 let us know. Stop Jack in the hallway, say Jack. You guys 256 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.599 can Tim Brilliant to hit it up. You guys can hit us up on 257 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.839 social media. Let us know donnye underscore, Peters, Tim Underscore Underscore, 258 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.400 Duckworth, or you can send an email into podcast at pokergro dot com let 259 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.359 us know your thoughts. Or hey, if you hate heads up tournaments you 260 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.599 don't want to see any of them, let let us know that too. 261 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:29.119 We're all for interacting with you guys out there. Moving over to the fifteen 262 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.799 hundred dollars Dealer's Choice. We hit on this one quickly yesterday because it did 263 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.799 have a big bump in field size. It went from four hundred and something 264 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.839 to five point thirty, so big bump. There are they still on dinner 265 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.559 break right now? I just came back. Actually, okay, Johnny World, 266 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.880 John Hennigan is up on top. If these chip counts are right, 267 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:53.559 could be questionable. We got duped yesterday that there was two James Chen's in 268 00:18:53.559 --> 00:19:00.839 the Omaha. It was actually only one, but he has a huge chip 269 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.599 stack and a huge lead over there in this event. Almost one hundred and 270 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.440 forty thousand dollars up top in this one. Jeff Madson's in there with the 271 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:14.799 big stack, Victor blom Roland, Israel Lashvili, Lawrence Brandt, Sean Deeb, 272 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.079 Tim's favorite. Teased it off the top, but Sean Deeb is still 273 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:23.119 over there doing things. Alan Lee, Alan Lee was on our list of 274 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.599 cheap value. Yeah you said, you said during the it was either during 275 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.279 the mix game series or the PLO series over at the studio and he walked 276 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:34.799 in. You said, how about this guy? Put him on the list. 277 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.039 We did put him on the list. Ultimately didn't pull the trigger on 278 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.279 him, but you know, good for Alan Lee. Phil Huiz over there 279 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.319 battling. I see Benny Glauser is over there battling as well. Jerry Wong 280 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:52.640 just busted not too long ago. So looks like there's thirty thirty two players 281 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:59.720 left. So they're going to need what day is this today? Day three? 282 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.839 No? No, today's day two? Oh yeah, they're gonna play 283 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.920 down to a quote as deep as they can get. I guess the final 284 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.240 table or whatever. They'll come back tomorrow and they will finish it up. 285 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:17.359 They are. They are deep into the money in that tournament. So we'll 286 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:29.359 have more on that as we go. Moving over to the five thousand dollars 287 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.720 PLO, what did we say yesterday for numbers? Because this is six ninety 288 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.319 two. I was above you. I think, I said, I think 289 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.920 you might be. This is a massive number. I mean, obviously this 290 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.920 number was gonna be great. PLO is hot. PLO is sizzling, baby, 291 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.359 That's what it is. Take me to the f and sizzler, let's 292 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.400 go. And you said that, No, I actually thought of a Pepin 293 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.240 yak plate, hot flight and someone cooking me up. So we're going to 294 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.519 Sizzler. I mean, what do you want me to say? The players 295 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:07.440 are on their final break right now. This is probably the break, yeah, 296 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.480 I mean what number they should get? What a number? I mean? 297 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.000 Pilow is hot, man. Everyone wants to play it. They're all 298 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.119 out there battling. Can I tell you something I'm really mad about WSP dot 299 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:23.079 com loud reporting. What's that is that when a tournament is still like registration 300 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:29.359 is still open, they don't put the entries like on the website. They 301 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.640 just put TVD and because it is TVD. Yeah, but they should just 302 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.119 leave prize for TVD. But tell me how many entries they are, because 303 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:38.519 that's the fact. So now I'm like, I'm guessing you doing the same. 304 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:42.519 Are you going to Bravo to put up the clock? I mean they 305 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:49.519 they should just integrate like the Bravo stuff into that particular part of the website, 306 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.240 right, I mean they are already working with Bravo everywhere. Yeah, 307 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:57.519 they have over the place. They got Bravo on the tables for they got 308 00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:02.400 the Bravo is link to Bravo. That's how they update the numbers and the 309 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.039 and stuff. But I'm saying, yeah, that's the they disabled until registration 310 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.000 clo. But currently, as of sixteen minutes remaining in the final break, 311 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:17.079 this is the end of registration break, they have seven hundred and twenty six 312 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:23.880 entrance. The Bravo cluck says, lovely, So yeah, pretty pretty pretty 313 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.759 big tournament. Yeah, many months ago, of course. I mean the 314 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.880 potlaman oas hot. What do you want to say, free Johndan is one 315 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.960 of the big stacks.

After schmoozing and shaking hands with Tiger Woods. W BT 328 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:41.480 had a Tiger Wizard. Yeah, I saw more pictures and updates on on 329 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:47.920 Tiger's Poker Night than I did on their two. Wptfound that they have should 330 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:53.079 have been Shoot, you should have been. Yeah, Ivy's out there somewhere. 331 00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.039 We'll see how he does. And we'll see how much he plays. 332 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.640 But kind of came strolling in late. You sent a photo to me of 333 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.319 him, very very creepy creep a photo that was he was looking right at 334 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.000 the camera for sure. Was like this photo. Watch this. I know 335 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.799 you guys had howk say this, but I'm talking to Jason, and I'm 336 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.960 saying, Jason, just he's looking literally into your And then I quickly swapped 337 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.880 up and clicked Twitter, and then I turned to Jason. I said like, 338 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.759 say like this, No, Ive, Hive is too smart for that. 339 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.119 He's not too smart. He's way too smart for that stuff. You 340 00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.680 know who I am. I need to know who I am. Yeah, 341 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.799 So we'll we'll update you guys a bit more on this PLO event. It 342 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:41.079 is. It is tentatively on the Poker Grot streaming schedule. We're hoping to 343 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.000 do day three and day four coverage of this one, but it doesn't I 344 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.720 mean, we have a day we're adding one because we expected a massive field 345 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.200 side. I got a massive field size. Yeah, I mean it's bigger 346 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.240 than both the numbers that we threw out there, and we thought we were 347 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.400 going high on the numbers. So good on the PLO good on the w 348 00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:04.440 SP for forgetting numbers. I think we should probably let's say Monday, maybe 349 00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:11.759 would you kind of recap like the tournaments and like how they compare it to 350 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:14.799 like last year, like you know, give like an early week like okay, 351 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.440 you know the tournaments are off maybe up to ten the first ten events 352 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.279 some something like that, so so you know, look forward to that, 353 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.000 but finite so maybe not. As far as I can tell, all the 354 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.119 tournaments are crushing except the Omaha Hi Low was down a little bit, but 355 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.960 you know, everything else is crushing. I mean so in nine and eighty 356 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.279 two or whatever the heck it was for the Omahailo is still a very good 357 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.160 number. Not a big not a big deal. Speaking of that fifty dollars 358 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.839 Omaha Hi Low tournament, six players left heading to dinner break or it just 359 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:51.119 came back down to four. Actually that's the oh down to four Okay. 360 00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:55.240 I was gonna say, that's tournament that might not end, but I guess 361 00:25:55.240 --> 00:26:00.319 it might end. Who's who's in James us Chip late nine point two million. 362 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:07.359 He's ahead of Lewis Brandt, Savan Pen and Adam Natras. Okay Chamis 363 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.400 Chan got about thirty percent of the chips in play, so he looking to 364 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.279 win his first brace that he had a runner up finished last year too. 365 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.519 I kind of want to say josh Aria, but not really sure on that. 366 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:23.039 Currently guarantees sixty nine, one hundred and twenty nine dollars first price two 367 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:29.279 hundred and nine thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars, so that may and 368 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:33.240 tonight. Technically they have four more levels scheduled, but who knows. They 369 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.440 get heads up, maybe add a level or two and get it done tonight, 370 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.720 We'll see what happens. Jamie kurse Letter finished in ninth place in that 371 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:47.039 event for just under sixteen thousand dollars, right behind her Miami John Cernudo twelve 372 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:51.799 thousand, five hundred dollars for him. Ben U fifteenth place for him. 373 00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.960 If you're sweating Benu in fantasy, he did hit the field bonus, so 374 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:02.000 it got an extra nine points there for him. Eric Baldwin made a deep 375 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:08.200 run nineteenth place for him, and then Upeshka da Silva took twenty five twenty 376 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:15.200 fifth place in that event. Mystery millions running right now on day one B. 377 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:22.000 They are in the Money. Podcast producer Poker Roe podcast producer The great 378 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.839 Rich Ryan is over there battling in the money. He ended Marsha Wagner's dreams 379 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:32.880 in this event like a total buffoon. He took the ace queen up against 380 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.359 the pocket queens for Wagner on like the five high flop or whatever it was. 381 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.920 He called her all in. She had him absolutely crushed. But rich 382 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.640 made the wheel because that's just what he does. Maybe why we were standing 383 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:51.599 behind him watching run like Rich Ryan baby, and he is now in the 384 00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:56.720 money over there. Tim mentioned at the top a very big number. I 385 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.720 messed up, Oh you messed up? Yeah, the last year it was 386 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.519 what what I When I pulled the number at the time it had merged both 387 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.519 one A and one B. I just assumed, oh yeah, five thousand, 388 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.359 but hey it's three, doesn't matter. It's still bigger than last year's. 389 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.920 Real number is actually thirty two hundred and seventy two players for Day one 390 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.039 B from yesterday. The twenty two forty six were at five five one eight. 391 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:23.839 Yeah, twenty nine hundred and fifty seven last year. So basically, 392 00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:29.240 you know, yeah, ten percent, yeah wish growth. Day one A 393 00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.920 saw about a ten percent growth. Day one B again another ten percent growth. 394 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:36.960 So if that trend does keep up and it does stick. As you 395 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.839 know, ten percent growth. Last year got eighteen thousand total entries, a 396 00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:44.440 little bit over eighteen thousand, I believe it was, So let's add eighteen 397 00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.000 hundred to that, and you know we're pushing twenty k, which is absolutely 398 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.039 enormous for this tournament. Of course, there is the top bounty prize in 399 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.960 this one, guaranteed at a million dollars. Last year they had enough in 400 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:02.720 the prize pool to do two million dollar bounty prizes. We'll see if they 401 00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:06.200 do that again. Last year they also had a first place prize in the 402 00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:11.079 tournament of one million dollars. So last year this tournament crowned three millionaires, 403 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:15.920 which is wild. This year, we'll see how it goes, but all 404 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:22.319 signs point to, you know, just crazy growth. Ten percent growth year 405 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.920 over year is the way that we are trending right now for the WSP Mystery 406 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.000 Millions event, and you love to see it. It is Friday, so 407 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.240 I would expect that tomorrow, being Saturday, is absolutely gangbusters with the size 408 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.240 of that field. I could also expect Sunday, well, I mean, 409 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:44.480 tell me what it was last year, and we're gonna guess. So if 410 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.920 they're at fifty five hundred right now, they got to get another thirteen thousand, 411 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:56.640 five thousand and forty basketball on what people are gonna watch basketball over playing 412 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.759 the mister millions? What are you insane? Well, I'll say wait before 413 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.359 you answer. Will Saturday be bigger than Sunday? Or with Sundays Sunday will 414 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:08.000 be bigger? Okay? I mean that's always, It's always the final starting 415 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:14.240 flight is the biggest. I'll say, I have my number fifty seven hundred, 416 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:15.680 I'm bigger than you. I have sixty five hundred. Okay, yeah, 417 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.000 I'm going big. I mean, listen, should we either number would 418 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.640 be great? I'll check last Yes, either number would be yeah, check 419 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.519 last year because we can just you know, basically add ten percent at this 420 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.799 point? Is that going to do it? For all the stuff at the 421 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.799 World Series of Poker And we're switching venues? Is that what we're doing here? 422 00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:34.119 Well, maybe we just finished the rest and we go back to the 423 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:38.000 venue. Switch let me find let me find this mystery millions real quick. 424 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.960 Yeah, what's the what was the mystery millions?

Okay, 428 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.799 so I think you're your favorite. Yeah, I mean I had a pretty 429 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:03.599 much smack dab on, which is crazy, but who knows it could could 430 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.160 blow doors, which is a great sign.

Tim came up with that. Donnie will try to ignore 436 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:36.319 it as much as possible. It's what random hooker player did you see today? 437 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.759 All right? I've actually got I don't think I saw any random players, 438 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.839 So I mean, I don't have anything. I put one down for 439 00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.440 you. Well you put one down that somebody texted me about it, but 440 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.599 I think that will count. We're gonna pay that. But I didn't see 441 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.839 that person, so it doesn't count. Okay, that's fine, I saw 442 00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:52.960 to you. Then I'll take Turffy. I was walking through mister Millions here 443 00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.319 and the grand ballroom of the Horse Shoot. I saw Nanod Metic. I 444 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:01.279 think we discussed the nod maybe six ish episodes ago, right when we're talking 445 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:07.480 about WSP stories. Didn't expect to see him blastom away and the one came 446 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.480 mistery Millions. That was a surprise. I walked the five k p loo. 447 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:15.039 This is going to be a hometown hero. I saw Jared Graham, 448 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:21.640 who was the Kangaroo Crew. The Kangaroo Crew is in full force here at 449 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.839 the WSP. Jared Graham is a brace of winner. He was one of 450 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:29.720 the best Australian online and live pokele players high stakes everything for a long time 451 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.440 and then I just he just stopped coming the World Series. Din't see him 452 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.480 for like four or five y is. He came up to me, He's 453 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.200 like, hey, Tim, how are you doing. So never expect to 454 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.400 see see him. I never expect to see in an odd medic. But 455 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.960 they're my two random pokele players that I saw today. And maybe you're you 456 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:51.200 want to mention David Baker aka ODB, who's a playing hurt right now or 457 00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:55.119 something ir wheeling around on one of those little scooter half things whatever that. 458 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:58.799 Have you ever had one of those when you had your knee? They're they're 459 00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.119 so hard, it's so I felt. I did. I did see him 460 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:06.799 eat it today. I did hard hard. He texted me, he said, 461 00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:13.240 Pat Peasant sighting Pat Peasant wasn't he Wasn't he a former people for Canada? 462 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.480 Maybe Team Online Product. I think it was Team Online Pro from Canada. 463 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:24.960 I haven't seen that name or heard that name in for ever. We've 464 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.480 also seen I mean, I know this isn't like random player of the day 465 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:31.720 because I think we already mentioned him. But Victor blom has been out there 466 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:39.440 battling. Yeah, I feel like we're in the maturation of Victor Blom era. 467 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.640 It's all about the eras on the way. I mean, I just 468 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.119 feel like I feel like he came out into the scene super young kid was 469 00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:52.559 just absolutely max gamble to the fullest at all times, you know, playing 470 00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:57.119 as big as humanly possible, going nuts, you know, all the stuff 471 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.599 that you saw online. I don't know. I just I don't really have 472 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:05.200 anything to base this off of other than like a vibe, the vibe that 473 00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.800 I feel when I stand kind of near him. I'm like, I feel 474 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:14.320 like he's just toned it down and he's just grinding. And from a lot 475 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:17.000 of people that I've talked to over the years, I think a lot of 476 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.079 people believe that Victor Blom is just like one of the most naturally gifted poker 477 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:28.360 players. So combining that with what now might be more of a mature approach 478 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:34.280 to the game, I feel like Victor Blom is gonna start making some noise 479 00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:37.519 at the World Series of Poker. Has no bracelets yet, you know, 480 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:42.840 has had deep runs before, you know, I think probably most notably, 481 00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:47.079 he took fourteenth place in a twenty twelve fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship, 482 00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.679 So I don't know, I kind of feel like he's gonna start making some 483 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.760 noise. So I wouldn't call it a surprise. If you know, he 484 00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:58.519 makes a couple of final tables at this World Series of Poker, he rips 485 00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.599 off a bracelet, and then that sort of trend continues in the years to 486 00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.599 come. I don't know something about like kind of coming of age. You 487 00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.639 know, he went through poker. You know, the swings were all over 488 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:13.639 the damn map all the time. But I don't know, I just get 489 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.079 the sense that he's a bit more settled down. Maybe I'm totally wrong, 490 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:20.719 maybe my read is totally off here, but that's just the vibe that I 491 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.760 get from Victor Baum. So yeah, all right, let's go on to 492 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.920 these World Poker Tour final tables. Why don't you just talk about it because 493 00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.760 I don't want to talk about it. If they're not going to live stream 494 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:32.199 it for me to watch, they don't deserve me to talk about it. 495 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.119 Look, we need to get an answer and why they went live streaming. 496 00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:39.519 But yes, there was two I really don't understand because didn't they live stream 497 00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:45.280 Montreal? Yes, including a little bit of a technical error, but yeah 498 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.719 they did. I Look, we work in production. Sometimes we don't have 499 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.920 the answers for our stuff that we do. There's probably some answer why they 500 00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:58.719 went streaming it. I'm assuming they were recording it for TV episodes. But 501 00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:02.440 we'll find out who watches TV these days. Old people, Yeah, like 502 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.960 really old people the clientele that maybe WT you trying to target. I didn't 503 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:12.280 know, I mean maybe, But I mean, can't you do both? 504 00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:16.000 Because because the old people aren't gonna watch our lives show? Correct, Yeah, 505 00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:19.599 like they're gonna wait and watch the stuff later. Yeah, you know, 506 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.920 but the young people aren't gonna watch the stuff later. My only thoughts 507 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.159 and I personally like me, I would say that. I mean, I'm 508 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.000 not young, I'm in the middle, but I would be younger than you 509 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:31.639 know, seventy seventy year old person watching it in front of TV. But 510 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:38.840 like, I don't like watching like edited poker shows that much anymore. Sorry, 511 00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:42.199 I shouldn't say that. I should say I don't like them watching as 512 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.800 much as I like watching like the full live streams. I prefer like the 513 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:47.880 full stuff. And I know that, like it can be boring to watch 514 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.800 like six hours of a final table because there's a lot of stuff that you 515 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:54.800 would just throw on the cutting room floor, right, I mean this goes 516 00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:59.079 for everything, This goes for our tournaments, it goes for you know, 517 00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:04.159 the trite and stuff. Would I just I like watching it all. I 518 00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.920 like watching everything play out and getting that full picture and doing that, so 519 00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:14.599 you know, I'm not so interested in like one hour TV episode. Kenneth 520 00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:20.760 in four months kennethyre my My thought, my reasoning behind why they didn't stream 521 00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:23.119 this is because somebody forgot to press the button. I mean I don't know. 522 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:27.840 Yeah, blame Mickey nothing. Here's my theory. Blame you, Matt 523 00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:31.039 Savage. Turn the cameras on Matt. Here's my theory. They delayed these 524 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:34.559 final tables. I didn't like the date they chose because it meant some of 525 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:37.360 these players couldn't play some WSP events. Whatever. They chose that for a 526 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.599 reason. Maybe it was because of Tiger Jam. I'm not going to judge. 527 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:44.800 They knew that they were going up against the WSP, they knew that 528 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:49.440 they were also going up against Hustle Casino Live Million Dollar Game, Million dollar 529 00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.880 Game streaming. Maybe they didn't know as schedule, they didn't look for it. 530 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:54.760 Maybe they thought we were streaming from the start. They were thinking, 531 00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.639 hmmm, does someone want to watch these WPT Final Tables or are they going 532 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.639 to watch I could go w s P, or are they gonna watch Million 533 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:06.639 Dollar Hustler scene alive. Maybe they thought might be a bad look if we're 534 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.599 streaming and we only get you know, five hundred viewers, one thousand viewers 535 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.719 versus five thousand, ten thousand, whatever the other channel's got, and they 536 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:15.679 made the decision to stream. This is not This can't be the reason. 537 00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:17.000 I'm just I'm just throwing it out there. Can't be the reason, can't 538 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.280 be the reason. I wish they would have streamed. I would have really 539 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:22.760 liked it. I was, we would have watched. I was. I 540 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.079 was under the impression that they would be streamed because I just thought that that's 541 00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.679 what happened now and yep, but that it gets to be, you know 542 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.079 what, twenty four hours before the event and I'm like, wait, they're 543 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.599 not streaming it. I was. I was really looking forward to both of 544 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:40.760 these final tables. I wanted to watch Josh Reichard at his you know, 545 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:45.719 see if he could finally get that first major title. And then the second 546 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:47.920 one, you got Eric Lingren coming back from the dead, and you know, 547 00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.519 you got Eric Afriott. My auto lay like, I mean, they 548 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.400 had some cool people at these at these tables, and then I would you 549 00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:58.920 know, I think a lot of people, you know, like me, 550 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.639 would have would have really enjoyed watching them and listen. I know, like, 551 00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:06.280 yeah, numbers maybe maybe you if that is true and you don't get 552 00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:09.519 as big of a numbers, but I can I can understand like people grinding 553 00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:13.480 WSP tournaments and they just have it on their phone or on their tablet. 554 00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:15.840 You know, they're just watching while they play. You know, I could 555 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:19.719 certainly see a lot of people doing that. So yeah, but let's flip 556 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.039 the switch. Let's get back positive. Talk about what happened. Josh Reycott 557 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:27.719 wins WPT Seminal Hard Rock Poker Showdown for eight hundred and thirty nine thousand topped 558 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:32.599 an eighteen hundred and sixty nine entrant Field Field Seminole. All yeah, he 559 00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:37.679 said in uh in his interview with the WPT team. You know this is 560 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:42.239 like whinning. He is like first major major you know title, so because 561 00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.559 he only has twenty seven ys a billion other second rings. But I feel 562 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:47.800 like, you know, this one is really I would say, maybe puts 563 00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:51.039 his name out there to the people that may not know who he was, 564 00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:53.599 like we know who he is. Well maybe this is probably not so much 565 00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:59.199 that, at least for me, more so than it is like people can 566 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.320 say, like you know, validates got you got it done under the bright 567 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:05.559 lights? Yeah, okay, like you know, before you were you were 568 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:07.440 conquering the minor leagues, but you never made it to the majors. Yeah. 569 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:09.719 Now, not only did you get to the majors, you hit a 570 00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:15.320 grand you hit the yeah, so so he uh yeah, he took home 571 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:17.039 eight hundred and thirty nine thousand. That was on the first night. Second 572 00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:22.880 night we had the conclusion of the WPT Chuck Taw Championship. James Mackie won 573 00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:29.400 his second WPT Time dot Com for mgd Com for three hundred and sixty one 574 00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:32.679 and six hundred dollars. He topped a six hundred and three entrant field. 575 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:37.679 You mentioned some of the names at that table, Adam Hendrix, Eric Afriett 576 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.159 and e Dog. Was that that final table? But yeah, that wraps 577 00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:49.840 up the little luxow swing for WPG swing. Good lord. I was gonna 578 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.400 say the summer swing, but like they have a couple you know, they 579 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.000 got these alpha eights coming up at the win, a couple of two day 580 00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:59.719 event twenty five k's, So I mean you really say this maybe like the 581 00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.039 star out of the Summer Swing. I might guess if I had thirty five 582 00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:08.360 guesses what they're doing, But that's that. I thought they would have brought 583 00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:12.719 back that ten k from last year, which was last year it was a 584 00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.239 special event, but the one jump make it a make it a w PT 585 00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:20.599 WPT event like an official main tour event. This year. I think that 586 00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:24.840 could have done numbers. But you know they have the Alpha quarters coming back, 587 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:30.199 the twenty five k's. It's called the WPT Alpha eight trifecta because there's 588 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:35.079 three of them. I mean those are though, No I say quarters because 589 00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:39.320 Alpha a used to be Hunter K buying. Oh no, I like it. 590 00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:45.960 That was good. That was rather good. But anyway, I mean 591 00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.519 those those will do good numbers. I mean they're at the Win. Everyone 592 00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:53.719 loves playing at the Win. I haven't done so much checking around the kind 593 00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:57.239 of what's been going on around town. I should probably do that over this 594 00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:00.039 weekend, just to just to get a feel for aris what's happening. I 595 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.039 can give you some updates. I'll tell you this. I saw a winner 596 00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:07.280 photo from Aria the God. That trophy looks good, and I was like, 597 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:08.639 man, this is a good winner photo. This is branding. Oh 598 00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:14.559 yeah, like, whoever is in charge of this marketing? They did this 599 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:16.239 right, They did it well. It looks good. They've been working on 600 00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:19.039 it. Quiz. They had a little ring light and they got a better 601 00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:22.000 ring light than they got a background that was too small than they that's too 602 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:23.440 big, So they finally hit I think they've got it. They've got a 603 00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:28.000 good you know, step and repeat behind it with the Ben MGM logo, 604 00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:32.519 the Aripro Classic lego, that trophies look surreal. They're giving out player bags 605 00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:37.960 to people that the nice, the nice marone Red felt. Yeah, you're 606 00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:42.079 right. But they had a pretty big PLO event to kick off. I 607 00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:45.880 saw Paul Campbell tweet something today that they got like over four hundred entries and 608 00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:47.679 whatever was going on today a six hundred or eight hundred dollars buying and it's 609 00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:51.920 forty two k up top single day tournament. I mean that's also six hundred 610 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.400 PLO. Yeah, you're right, it's one hundred and ten K in the 611 00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:58.920 prize bowl, two hundred and sixteen players. First was twenty six K. 612 00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:01.039 That's pretty impressive. And you know what, it ain't even junior yet, 613 00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:06.440 still in the final day of May to be exactly. I still, you 614 00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:09.239 know, I was talking to some people around the World Series of Poker here 615 00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:14.000 at the Horseshom Paris, and I don't know, I still feel like we're 616 00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:19.039 still kind of warming up. I don't really know why, because as we've 617 00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.039 talked about, you know, the numbers are up in a lot of stuff 618 00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.559 there are a lot of people here. The tournaments are you know, well 619 00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:29.000 underway, we're a few days in now, we've awarded bracelets, you know, 620 00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:30.880 all this sort of stuff. But I don't, I don't know. 621 00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:36.920 I almost feel like we need to get to one of those days when there's 622 00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:40.119 like seven or eight tournaments running, when it's every room is full, every 623 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.239 you don't you know what it is? You know what I think it is 624 00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:46.719 is that even though there's been big fields all over here where they're doing it, 625 00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:51.239 there's always like one room empty, you know what I mean, Like 626 00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:54.360 today it's the Grand Ballroom in the middle, So it's like, you know, 627 00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:58.000 you don't, you don't get that. But that had players in it 628 00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.639 earlier, you know, it had the spillover from the mystery. But you 629 00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:06.679 know, just having something going all night long at every single room. I 630 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:13.280 also think probably need kind of a little bit more crowd action going on. 631 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:16.360 I mean, there was a good one, yeah, but we haven't had 632 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:20.280 like, you know, we had the one yesterday with the Champions Reunion finishing 633 00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.800 that Ashkiff, No, that was that was a decent rail, but it 634 00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.280 was like kind of only for him. So need a little bit more of 635 00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.800 that, You need like the secondary features playing out with the rails and people 636 00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:34.599 cheering and chanting and what like that buzz, you know, like not not 637 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.039 necessarily just what's going on in the tournaments, but the outside stuff from the 638 00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.280 the family, the friends, you know, all that sort of stuff I 639 00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:44.119 think is something that will will of course only build over the summer. So 640 00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:47.719 I'm looking forward to that picking up. So yeah, I think that's all 641 00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:50.760 we got. You got anything else from me? Hope? We should just 642 00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:53.119 mention what's coming up tomorrow? What's that? Well, we've got day one. 643 00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:58.840 See if the mister millions and we have our first is it our first? 644 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:02.039 I would say it is our first championship event. The twenty five k 645 00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:06.000 Heads Up Championship is the championship event. Pas. Yeah, but like I 646 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.639 know, it's a championship event. That's a championship event. It's just championship 647 00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:14.840 alright. I only put championship in the title of it's a championship event. 648 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:16.719 I just think, yeah, it's it's got an asterisk on it. It's 649 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:21.440 cap field, no cap field, it doesn't count. But yes, you 650 00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:23.039 tech. All you have to do is register early and you're correct, you 651 00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:27.000 correct? Yeah, So a second championship event. It's gonna be ten k 652 00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:30.840 Omaha High Low. It's gonna go for seventeen days. Everyblut's gonna get chopped. 653 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:35.880 And is that one's schedules for four days or three days? I believe 654 00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:39.320 it's only always schedule from four It's not on a streaming schedule, so I 655 00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:44.599 didn't really care. Yeah, but this one also feels like one where I 656 00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:49.000 know it's not on the streaming schedule right now, but we know the type 657 00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:51.880 of players that are going to get in this one. There is the chance 658 00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:53.800 that you get some pretty big names running deep, right, I mean, 659 00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:57.800 maybe you get a final table that includes the GRANDU and Ivy, you know 660 00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:00.360 that sort of thing. So you know, maybe that and the powers that 661 00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:04.960 be here, you know, make the switch, put this on a stream 662 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.519 and we'll go from there. But that that that's why, you know, 663 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:12.400 I know, we put out the schedule, the quote unquote schedule, the 664 00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:14.639 plans. This is, you know, kind of what we're coming into the 665 00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:19.679 summer eyeing. But everything changes. Everything is extremely fluid, of course. 666 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:23.159 Yeah. Poker gro dot com slash schedule is where you can find the most 667 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:28.960 up to date streaming schedule. Tim Mann's that and every time there's a decision 668 00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:31.960 or that there's a change or whatnot, he's in there changing things. So 669 00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.280 I would bookmark that page and you know, check it rather regularly. All 670 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.760 Right, that's gonna do it for us. Kind of an earlier ish night 671 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:44.639 here, But I just feel bad for you sitting over here. You kind 672 00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:46.199 of an open your eyes.

I'm gonna get home and like my eyes are gonna be 675 00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:57.840 fine because I'm not in here. It's just like it must be the air 676 00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:00.639 in here. We haven't I was talking to my wife earlier, and you 677 00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:02.960 know what she said, it is probably is that I just need to get 678 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:07.239 used to being in here, which is probably change in our little air purified. 679 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.159 We have a run and it's not that. Okay, it's not that 680 00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:13.480 I just need to get used to this here. You know, I'm just 681 00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.559 out of my elements used to working from home for the past couple of months, 682 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:19.679 so I mean, I'm used to that. But yeah, but that's 683 00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.559 going to do it for us, hopefully. Producer rich Ryan Bags chips he 684 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:29.159 is in the money. Hopefully he continues that run, so hopefully he is 685 00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:31.079 staying at my house, so I'm just gonna not let him in unless he's 686 00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:36.840 bags. If you're listening to this, you're not listening to this until noon 687 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:42.320 on Saturday because he was up all not crushing the Mystery millions and hasn't got 688 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.079 a chance to edit it.
