Hello everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go Podcast.
I hope everyone is doing well out there. My name is Donny Peters,
flying solo again today. Tim is out for another day. I think
he's trying to match my streak of out. I think I was out six
days. I can't remember exactly, only his second though, so he's not
anywhere near the slacking that I did. On this episode, we are going
to talk about the final twelve players in the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship
led by Chris Brewer. Seventy eight thousand dollars up top. In that one,
we got the Millionaire Maker down to the final forty five players Super Seniors.
Looks like one hundred and nineteen players are remaining in that event. We
got the three thousand dollars Nolman hold them to hit on. Looks like right
around one hundred players are advancing to day three. The twenty five hundred dollars
Omaha Hi Low slash Stud High Low is down to the final twenty one.
We have the six hundred dollars Poker News Deep Stack Championship that drew the opening
field size. Very good number there we'll let you know what it is,
and then the fifteen hundred no limit deuced to seven single draw kicked off will
also hit on. Of course, what is happening tomorrow here at the twenty

players remaining. Again, they are all vying for that one million, one
hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars first place prize. They're all in the money.
The top fourteen spots paid in this one. We lost Hell Rotholtz in
fifteenth place. Hell was short on the bubble, kind of an extensive,
lengthy bubble. He was short in that one, and so he bubbled the
tournaments. There was an interesting hand that he played where he had believe it
was jack jack ten to seven in plo, and he raised Negranu defended it
came I think ten high. If I remember correctly, and ended up folding.
So a very interesting spot there where just given how short Rowtholts was,
you would assume he would have just got his money in after raising with the
jack Jack ten four, but he didn't, you know, He elected to
go the survival route and then ultimately was too short to come back from and
that was that he was out the door in fifteenth place later on and the
unfortunate Bubblah boy sucks to be a bubble boy. I've been a bubbla blay.
I'm sure many of you have, and it's just it's brutal, I'm
sure, especially brutal in the fifty k PPC. But I'm sure we'll see
Hell back in, you know, this event and some other big championship events.
After Hell went out, everyone's in the money guaranteed a little bit over
one hundred and two thousand dollars. Max Coleman went out first in the money.
He scored fourteenth place, and then it was Phil Huey, a former
champion of this event, falling in thirteenth place after Coleman and who he went
out played for the rest of the night without busting anyone. There were some
big pots the chips were swinging. It ultimately resulted with Chris Brewer finishing with
a pretty large chip lead five million, three hundred and forty five thousand.
Chris Brewer is making his second cash in this event. He took fifth place
in twenty twenty one for two hundred and eleven thousand dollars. Closest to Brewer
on the leaderboard David ben Yamen with three million, one hundred and ten thousand,
so you can see that gap. There is more than two point two
million. Benyamin took fourth place in this event back in twenty thirteen. Phil
Ivy third place on the leaderboard three million and fifty thousand. Don't look now,
but the goat is coming for number twelve. Ivy has had plenty of
success in this tournament over the years, but he's never won it. Sixth
place in twenty twenty three, eighth place in twenty nineteen, ninth place in
twenty eighteen, twelve in two thousand and eight, and his best finish was
a third place finish way back in two thousand and six. He is going
to be three out of twelve heading into day four. Bryce Yacki, who
has previously had a fourteenth place finish in this event that came in twenty twelve,
and then in twenty nineteen, the year when he took that insane insane
bad Beats, he took fourth place that year. Yaki's fourth on the lead
aboard with two million, six hundred and sixty five thousand. Jal Vieira next
up two million, six hundred and twenty thousand, first ever cash in this
event. Then it's Jeremy Osmas. We've heard that name before plenty of times.
At the twenty twenty four World Chis of Poker, two point five million
in the bag for mister Osmas. Summer of Ozmas continues. It is his
first cash in the fifty k PPC. It's just kind of fitting that it
comes this year when he's just having huge score after huge score, deep run
after deep run here at the World Series of Poker. I think he's won
already more than three million dollars. If he ends up, you know,
going on to this one, goes up over four million dollars. I mean,
just an absolutely massive, massive summer so far for Jeremy Osmas. And
he's done it all. You know, he's had all this success and he
hasn't actually won a tournament yet you know, he's won a boatload of money,
He's had a lot of final tables, a lot of deep runs,
et cetera, but hasn't actually grabbed another bracelet. But it seems like it's
only a matter of time at this point. For Jeremy Osmas, Dylan Smith
one million, seven hundred and fifteen thousand, like jaw Vieira Smith making his
first cash in this event. Then we have James Ops with one million,
six hundred and forty thousand. He took fourth in twenty twenty three, fifteenth
in twenty seventeen, and tenth in twenty fourteen. So Ops making his fourth
cash in the fifty k PPC. Johnny Becker one million, three hundred and
sixty five thousand in the bag. For mister Becker, he had a runner
out finish in this event back in twenty seventeen. Ellier Cion won the tournament.
That year, Becker took second. Daniel Negron, you is on today,
four boys and girls. Let's go team DPMC. Let's go listen.
Daniel keeps on knocking at the damn door, and one of these days he's
just gonna kick that damn door down and he's gonna burst on through. He's
gonna put an end to this bracelet. You're out, and he is going
to get number seven, and hey, why not it be his favorite tournament
of the year, one of the most prestigious tournaments in all of poker right
there, you know, right behind it's like the one beach to the wsp
Man EVENTWSB Man event is the best, of course, yes, but one
bee the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship Negron. You is tenth out of
twelve players remaining. But you know, he mentioned to me while I was
out there running around the floor for a little bit, just how good the
structure is. It allows you to really grind, grind, grind, And
that is true. So he has one million, one hundred and five thousand
that he put in the bag, but it's kind of plenty of chips because
this tournament is just such a good structure. It really is. Mgrandey previously
has had a ninth place finish in this event in twenty twenty one, fifth
place in twenty seventeen, twelfth in twenty sixteen, and thirteenth in two thousand
and eight. Next up, eleven out of twelve on the leader board.
I mean, this guy, this guy, and this tournament is it's like
not even believable at this point. Michael the Grinder is rocky. He's back.
Yes, the Grinder, three time champion of this event. He's previously
cashed in it four times. He had those three wins, he had another
final table, another top four finish, finishing in fourth place in twenty sixteen.
He's got eight hundred and thirty thousand in the bag. I mean,
listen, I know he's short on chips, but for whatever reason, the
Grinder just does it in the fifty KPPC. He won his first fifty KPPC
back in twenty ten, then he won again in twenty twelve. He had
that fourth place finish in twenty sixteen, and then in twenty eighteen he won
this damn thing again for his third title. It's unreal how well he performs
in this tournament and now here he is in the money advancing today four He's
at least gonna get a twelfth place finish, if not better. And we'll
see if the Grinder can spin up some chips and really really really make some
noise. And then we have Renon Brushki rounding out the pack. Twelfth place
for him right now on the leaderboard, but you may get to day four,
you can do some damage. So he's making his first cash in this
event, and he has eight hundred and twenty thousand in the bag, so
only ten thousand behind Michael Mzeraki. The plan is to have these players return
on Wednesday, June twenty sixth at two pm, and I believe we will
be streaming starting at maybe four, maybe five. I don't know exactly what
time the stream starts, but it'll be on poker Go so you can watch
all these you know, superstar poker players battle to make the final table.
This is a five day event, so it's not gonna end tomorrow. The
plan is tomorrow these twelve players will return. They'll play down to I don't
know five players, six players, seven players, something like that at one
table. It is a seven handed tournament, so you know, official final
table would be seven if you're about that sort of thing. But yeah,
play down to the final table and then they'll come back on Thursday to finish
it out. Final table on Thursday will also be streaming on PokerGO dot com.
All right, let's move over to the Millionaire maker. It's it's hard
to imagine that they're down to forty five players from a field of ten thousand,
nine hundred and thirty nine. That's just ridiculous. Martin Mathis and Max
Neugebauer are tied for the lead. I believe it's thirteen million and twenty five
thousand in chips exactly for both players, which is pretty crazy that they ended
with the exact amount of chips each players are guaranteed thirty three hundred dollars.
This was a fifteen hundred dollars buy and it did have three starting flights and
you could play two bullets on each flight, so the maximum that you would
be in for is nine thousand dollars, So you are more than tripling your
money if you've made it this far and you happen to fire all six bullets
in this one. There are a few bracelet winners still alive. Jason Wheeler,
Sean Troja, Jaspel Brawl are all advancing to day four. Have to
give a special shout out to Alex Kim who is also moving today four.
And the reason why I bring up Alex Kim is because he attended the first
ever Poker Goro MTT Strategy Workshop back in April. That was something that we
did in partnership with Andrew Lucky Chewie Lichtenberger and Andrew Moreno, the two Andrews
aka Pocket Aces aa No. But they were out of the studio. They
held a seminar for a group of people. Alex was one of them.
So hopefully he's taking some of that knowledge that he learned from those brilliant minds
Lichtenberger and Moreno and is applying it here in his deep run. Also during
that seminar, at the end of it, included in the seminar package you
got to play a live satellite at Aria and there was two five thousand dollars
seats up for grabs to compete in the first event of the US Poker Open.
Alex Kim was one of the players who obviously participated in that satellite as
part of the seminar package and then won one of the seats. So it
seems like his the knowledge that he gained, you know, is possibly getting
put to good use, and that's the best test case for what we're trying
to do with those strategy seminars. So Alex Kim is down to the final
forty five. He is moving on today four and you absolutely love to see
it. The Super Seniors looks like they have one hundred and nineteen players remaining.
It is Gregory Peterson up on top leading the field intoday three. They
are in the money guaranteed a little bit over three thousand dollars as well as
a one thousand dollars buying, had more than three thousand entries in the field.
It was up year over year versus last year. Still, you know,
a bit of a wayte to go with one hundred and nineteen players remaining.
But of course you get down to this point in the tournaments you're moving
today three. You know, you're really starting to feel it. And there
is more than three hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars up top and the coveted
World Series of Poker gold bracelets. So I'm sure that all these one hundred
and nineteen players are very much like you know, I on the prize.
Now, focus, focus, focus, let's go Manny Manaya, Kevin O'Donnell,
Kevin Song, Bill Edler. Kind of crazy there. Bill Edler is,
you know, I haven't seen him around playing poker in forever. Tom
Lee, Larry Wright, Lee Markol, Barry Greenstein, and Vince Burgio are
among the players to bag up chips and head into Day three. Funny story
about Bill Edler quickly. So when I when I first got started in poker,
back in two thousand and eight, I had an interview with Poker News
with it was with Gary Gates, right, so I have an interviewed get
Gary's like putting together the team. He was in charge of the Poker News
Live reporting team at the time, and the biggest thing that the Poker News
Live reporting team did was the World Series of Poker coverage, so he was
busy putting together the team for that summer. In two thousand and eight,
I was coming out of college. I ended up getting an interview with Gary
hop on the think it was a skype call that we did. Hop on
the skype call, you know, he's running me through questions, doing the
whole interview thing whatnot. One of the questions, one of the portions of
the interview was to test your poker knowledge. So asked me a few different
questions, you know, I remember, I remember the first question that he
asked me was kind of a silly one, and I like, I probably
laugh, like, but without him knowing that I was laughing. He asked
me how many outs you have if you flop an open end straight draw,
and I was like, yeah, okay, eight, like like is this
kind of you know, it's kind of funny, like is this a trick
question? You know whatever. Anyway, so sore there was that. There
was some other questions about, you know, some various things that had to
do with poker. Then he asked he gave He's like, I'm gonna give
nicknames of players, and you know, I would like you to name that
that player. I think one was Jesus, uh, you know who's Jesus
whatever. Forget a couple of the other ones, but I remember one of
them was the stunning one, and it's the one I didn't get, and
it was Bill Edler. Bill Edler's nickname was the Stunning One. I did
not know it at the time, and I was I was bummed out because
I felt like, I felt like I did extremely well in the interview.
I remember, like you know, I was, I came back home from
college. I was at my parents' house. I remember coming back downstairs telling
my mom, like, I thought I did great in the interview, but
I was like I missed this one question. I didn't know who this person
was. I didn't have the answer to Bill Edler, but I guess it
didn't matter because I got the job anyway, and that was all she wrote.
The rest is history, of course, and here I am. I
guess I'm just a lifer in this industry, all because I guess I passed
that interview back in the day, even though I didn't know who the stunning
one was. But yeah, Bill Edler is moving on to Day three in
the Super Seniors tournament again. Three hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars up top.
We have the three thousand dollars, no limit hold them. I played
this one, didn't advance, of course, but they're moving to day three.
It looks like we have one hundred and six players remaining, Sir Levy
out of Israel leading the way into day three. Levy's got seven hundred and
ninety three thousand dollars in winnings ahead of this event, so the players are
guaranteed a little bit over seven thousand dollars in prize money. It looks like
looking at his Henden mob, it looks like he took nineteenth in the WSP
Main Event in twenty twenty two for three hundred and twenty three thousand dollars,
which is pretty crazy field set at seven hundred, seventeen hundred, excuse me,
seventeen hundred and seventy three entries according to Little Entries thing here on WSP
dot com, just under six hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars up top for
the win. They are all in the money. They are moving on to
Day three. Noel Rodriguez is third chips. It looks like Rodriguez finished second
to Nick Schulman in the twenty five k that Shulman won. If you remember,
Rodriguez had the ace king Shoulman had the quan when they had that massive
clash blind down blind for like all the chips in play very early on,
the Queen held for Shulman. He went on to steamroll the final table.
Rodriguez was left super super short after losing that massive flip, but much to
his credit, he battled all the way back and was able to secure second
place in that event. Nick Seward, who won a bracelet earlier this summer,
he's still alive with the big stack. Kristin Foxen also still alive with
the big stack. You got Kyle Julius in there, you got Vanessa Caid,
Ignacio Moron, Anthony Zeno, Andrea Cary. Looks like Adam Friedman's out
there. I mean, this is a pretty fun field again. You know,
six and seventy seven thousand dollars up top. This is the three K
no limit hold them. It is scheduled as a four day event, so
they're moving forward to Day three, play down to the final table or as
close as they can get, and then return the next day on Thursday to
finish it out. And we'll have more on this event as we go.
The twenty five hundred dollars mixed Omaha High Low slash Stud High Low has twenty
one players remaining, that is from a field of five hundred and seven players,
two hundred and twenty two thousand dollars up top, and it looks to
be David Williams leading the way, not by much. David Williams two thousand
and four wisby main event runner up. One million, eight hundred and ninety
thousand for David Williams and the chip Ley Darios Sammartino is just twenty thousand chips
behind him. Joe Coudin is third chips. You got Matt Vangren sitting fifth,
So tough field here and yeah, this this is a This is a
pretty fun tournament overall. I mean, I know, I know, you
know, Oe gets gets a fair amount of flak because it's kind of a
boring game that no one likes. Our boring mixed that no one likes.
If you ever, like, have covered this tournament from at least I have,
And it's you feel like you're just in quicksand like you're just not moving
because all the pots are split pots. You're like, we're not going anywhere.
Like, how am I supposed to write this up? Oh? Great
action? Oh but it's chop. Oh great action. Oh but it's a
chop. You know. It's just it's kind of surprising that, you know,
anyone gets eliminated in this tournament. It somehow gets over in three days.
Jeff Mattson is also in there moving forward. Nick cost In there as
well. We did lose right before the end of the day on day two.
Benny Glauser, I think he went out in twenty third. Aaron Coopan
going out in twenty second. Again, this is a twenty five hundred dollars
Omaha Hi Lo Slash Stud High Low Mixed Tournament. The six hundred dollars Poker
News Deep Stack Championship kicked off today and boy did a kickoff five thousand,
one, one hundred and ten entries. It looks like I'm seeing a little
bit of discrepancies there. I saw in the updates, like as the actual
post it said one hundred and ten here on WSP dot com, I see
one hundred and twenty six. Whatever. It's pretty close. Doesn't matter.
But this event, this year, renamed it does have the title sponsored Poker
News. Last year six hundred dollars Deep Stack Championship drew four three hundred and
three entries, so a boost of about eight hundred entries, which is really
good. In this event, Hideki such Hashi is leading the way, but
not by much, only head by about a one hundred and twenty five thousand
or so ahead of Martin Cabrel. Didn't think Martin Cabrell would be in there
battling in a six hundred dollar buying tournament, but hey, here we are.
I think there's a little bit under eight hundred players remaining in this tournament.
Two hundred and eighty three thousand dollars up top. Seven hundred sixty seven
players found a bag. They all are in the money. That is how
many people cash guaranteed twelve hundred and one dollars. Jamie kurse Stutter is out
there with chips moving on ben U Wannie Huey. That's why she wasn't rouling.
Phil Huey at the fifty K. I didn't see her on the rail
when I was up there, and I was like, I wonder where she
is. She must be in a tournament. Well, there she is.
She's a bag chips in the six hundred dollars Poker News Deep Stack Championship.
As always, you know, we'll follow this tournament as we go. It's
early. It's a huge, huge, huge event. So more to come
on the six hundred dollars Poker News Deep Stack Championship, and then the last
event that was playing today, we have the fifteen hundred dollars Nolamant duced to
seven single draw lowball oas Ahmed bagged a pretty healthy chip lead here on day
one. As this event through four hundred and fifty three entries, looks like
there are sixty eight players remaining. Six hundred and thirty three thousand in the
bag for Ahmed, he's ahead of David Odb Baker. Shout out my guy,
ODB. Four hundred and eighty thousand in the bag for Odb. He
begged. That's that's a pretty good stack, to be honest. Jen Harmon
third, Patrick Moulder, who just won a bracelet the other day. I
think it was mixed triple draw if I remember correctly. And then Dario Alioto
looks like he's fifth in chips three hundred and thirty five thousand, and that's
important because team DPMC. That means we got two decent shots tomorrow. At
least we got Daniel Nigranu in the final twelve of the fifty thousand dollars Poker
Players Championship in the money in that one, you know, on the shorter
side compared to the field on chips, but still plenty to work with for
Negraniu. And now we have Dario Alioto here fifth in chips entering day two
of the fifteen hundred dollars no limit Duce to seven single draw. So two
good shots overall. Would love to see us get the victory in both of
these. In this fifteen hundred dollars. No limit duce to seven single draw
more than one hundred and twenty three thousand dollars up top. Everyone is guaranteed
three thousand and forty dollars. Right now, let me see who else is
on the leader board. Ryan Depolo bagged a lot of chips, David Funkhouser,
Ben Wang, Marcel vonk Patrick, Leonard aka Pads, Chance Corneth,
Robert Campbell, former Player of the Year, Steve Zolatau, Brian Yun bagged
Well, David box in there, Brad Rubin. I mean, yeah,
there's there's a lot of star park on this one. You got Calvin Anderson
down there, Ryan Lang, justin Saliba, Heather Elkhorn High Park. Yeah,
this is this is a pretty pretty good field overall. But as far
as I'm concerned, I'm looking at Dario Alioto and I'm expecting him to make
a run. So let's go Dario tomorrow at the World Series of Poker.
It is going to be Wednesday. Well today, for those of you listening,
I got to get better at that. I got to get better at
saying today, because when the audience is listening, it's today. So today
at the World Series of Poker Wednesday, June twenty six Let's see what we
got. We have another deep stack event, same buy in as the Poker
News Deep Stack Championship. This one is a six hundred dollar nola at hold
them deep stack, so pretty simple, should draw a really really good feel.
It's kind of like one of those things where come out, you play
the six hundred dollar Poker News Deep Stack Championship and then you can also fire
this six hundred dollars deep stack. On Wednesday, June twenty sixth. We
also have a very very fun event, something that I'm very much looking forward
to following seeing how it performs, who turns out for it, all that
sort of stuff. Event sixty five five thousand dollar Seniors high Roller. That's
gonna be a fun one. I'm very interested to see how this goes.
At the WPT World Championship Series in December at the WIN they had a Seniors
Championship or sorry, a Senior's high Roller event, I should say. So,
let's see how it goes. I mean, I think this is a
great addition to the schedule, kind of a you know, a long time
coming. I think it'll be massive. I mean, I mean, it's
been seniors a week here. It's been pretty crazy that that senior's high roller
that was at the win that was a ten k. This is a five
K. So if you came out for the seniors event, you know,
the one K Seniors Championship did massive numbers. I think just under eight thousand.
Uh, the one thousand dollars Super Seniors got over thirty three hundred.
You know, I think this one's gonna be just gangbusters pretty I know it's
a high roller. I know the price tag is a little bit larger than
you know, one K Seniors and the one K Super Seniors, but still
five ks is fairly accessible for people that want to take a shot in a
World Series of Poker Gold Bracelet event. You know, if you're coming out
and you're firing a couple of bullets in either the Super either the Seniors Championship
or the Super Seniors, then you can probably also get into the five K.
So I'm very much looking forward to what this one draws. Kind of
have no idea what to expect from numbers, but I do think it's pretty
awesome that they have this on the schedule. So let's see how it goes.
We also have the ten thousand dollars Pot Limit Omaha Championship. That is
the afternoon event kicking off on Wednesday, June twenty sixth As for Poker Girl,
we will be streaming Day four of the fifty k PPC as mentioned,
leading into the final table of that event on Thursday, and then also on
Thursday, we will be streaming the final table of the fifteen hundred dollars Millionaire
Maker. I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. It's just about three am
here in Las Vegas. I want to get home and try and get some
sleep, so I'm gonna call it here. Hope you guys enjoyed the solo
podcast. Hopefully I get Tim back soon, because you know, I can't
keep talking to myself like this. I don't. I'm not gonna sit here
and do crazy rankings just to fill the air. I'm gonna run through the
news and i'm gonna get on with it. It's also very late, so
yeah, I'm going to bed. My name is Donny Peters. I appreciate
you guys for listening, and I'll talk to you on the next one. Jenny
