WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.880 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go 2 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:20.519 Podcast. We are live once again from the twenty twenty four World Series of 3 00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.160 Poker. My name is Donny Peters. The man across this table for me 4 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.120 is Tim Duckworth. Buddy, what's up? Good evening, sir? How 5 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:32.359 are you speak a little bit louder into that mic? Project? Your voice? 6 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.359 Put it out there. You got to talk for the people. Man, 7 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.119 Come on, you're making producer rich Ryan work good on the volume levels 8 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.399 good He needs to work a little bit of earlier pod today. It is 9 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:51.200 ten to twenty pm on Wednesday, May twenty ninth, so we were trying 10 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.280 to wait out the five thousand dollars champions reunion. It is approaching a final 11 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.560 table. We thought maybe it'll get to a final table. We'll kind of 12 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.000 do like a recap interview some of the players, all that sort of jazz, 13 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.439 and then lead into tomorrow's final table. That event, of course, 14 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.480 is going to be the first live stream that Poker gro is doing from the 15 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.599 twenty twenty four WSP. But as of time of recording, there are still 16 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.599 thirteen players remaining, so we don't look like we're hitting the final table. 17 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.079 Tonight. They just finished up a break. They're gonna play two more levels 18 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.840 before they bag and tag them, I mean, or if they get down 19 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.920 to seven they'll stop. But they're pretty deep. I think they're like forty 20 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.560 big mines deep average, so probably gonna be a while over there. So 21 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.959 we're not We're not gonna wait it out. We just want to get this 22 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.920 episode out to you guys, and then you know, we'll finish things up 23 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.840 tomorrow and try and grab any interviews that we can. We're also going to 24 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.640 hit on the five hundred dollars kickoff that kicked off today, the fifteen hundred 25 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.680 dollars Omaha High Low Tournament got underway, and then the five hundred dollars Casino 26 00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:01.439 Employees event that's also playing out in the same room as the Champions Reunion, 27 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.959 the kind of barren horseshoe. What's that room called, I have no idea 28 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.000 what these rooms are called. The one where the casino employs is, yeah, 29 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.400 that is called the Grand Ballroom. The Grand Ballroom, which is huge, 30 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.800 but there's only like four tables running, so it feel it feels kind 31 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.520 of weird. But so, yeah, you have the Champions Union playing down 32 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.439 over there. You also have the Casino Employees event. Casino Employees events likely 33 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.599 going to need a third day it is. It is scheduled as a two 34 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.800 day event, but you know, something's sometimes excuse me, sometimes things change 35 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.879 at the World Series of Poker. Always pretty flexible with everything that's going on 36 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.240 here, So no big deal there. We'll wrap that one up probably on 37 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.240 tomorrow's show and talk about that one as always. Please like and subscribe to 38 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:53.280 the Poker Girl podcast.

Hopefully we can, you know, make 52 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.360 a run for you guys, but it would be good to have you know, 53 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.520 some of the Poker Gol podcast community behind us. You know that that 54 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.479 wind in our sales pushing us as we go through that event. Hopefully that 55 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.199 will allow me not to punt it off. Maybe that will motivate Tim to 56 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.159 be a little bit more aggressive and actually go after some chips. So make 57 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.719 three Bent and the King seven like you did last seven. I'm just gonna 58 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.960 put that on a record and you look at it and put it in with 59 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:15.319 the King seven. I really wanted to. She probably had it though, 60 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.839 Jessica Tosol. But whatever.

It is now time for a brand spanking, 82 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.680 spiffy and new shout out to some of our most loyal listeners who likely got 83 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.319 a bit too lucky on the way to the spotlight. You're listening to the 84 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.959 number one poker show in the land, and it's time for a new edition 85 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:09.199 of the Poker Gold Podcast community cards. We said yesterday, you know, 86 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.759 I gave out a hat to a guy in the Casino Employees event. I 87 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.800 said, look, I forgot your name. I didn't even ask your name. 88 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.879 I'm terrible. You know, if you see us, find us this 89 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.199 morning. I'm in I'm in my gym. I'm on the treadmill and warming 90 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:28.040 up. Get a little Instagram notification. He the guy that I gave the 91 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.120 hat to post an Instagram. Sorry, well it was I checked the Instagram, 92 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.079 sorry, said Andy Gold. So Andy Gold, you got the hat. 93 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.480 Didn't fare too well on in the Casino Employees event. I looked through 94 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.600 his stories, but it seems like he's playing a few more events. So 95 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:48.319 good luck to you. A fellow Uzzy. Eugene Portland saw him yesterday walking 96 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.160 around. Then I saw him today in the Omahai Low. I thought, 97 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.360 you know what, I'm gonna get him a hat. Took him a hat, 98 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.079 took him a car protector gave that to him. He put it on. 99 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.040 We saw him again and he says, you know this, this hat's 100 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.560 not doing this. I'm bringing me any luck. And I said, give 101 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.160 me the player. I said, look, I think it's made. It 102 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:11.560 made seven something like seven wsp fiund tables last year in some form, So 103 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.199 you know, you gotta give us some time. But look, we got 104 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.759 new hats coming eventually, so stick with it, grind it out. Luck 105 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.959 will turn because it's a lucky hat. The Kangaroo crew is out in full 106 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:26.759 four the this we are coming hot, I mean here Gary Benson comes strolling 107 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.439 on into the twenty five k draft out of absolutely nowhere. Or like, 108 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.279 okay, who else have we seen? We've seen Robert Campbell, Mel Judah 109 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:40.560 mel Judah is Billy the crock, Billy the croc or guy Rose. I 110 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.600 don't even know how to say his last one. I always just called him 111 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:48.040 Billy the croc Asho. I know who who else have we seen? Well, 112 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.240 Gary Benson drafted Warwick mckisseeon or I got one more for you? Who 113 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.519 I DMD the World Cup of Vegas Instagram saying I'm in. I got someone 114 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:03.160 else for you. They said Alex Lynsky's in for World Cup of Vegas. 115 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.199 He wants to sign an Australia team. I said, well, we have 116 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.160 two, but it sounds like Alex Linsky's on the way. Didier Gouren came 117 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.839 into the hes twenty five K Fantasy. How our close buddy Paul Berman's on 118 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.560 his way to Vegas. I think next week bringing me some some little treats 119 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.720 from Australia. So I'm looking forward to that. He's also bring me a 120 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.920 special present you won't get you won't go on a special buddy. Paul always 121 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.639 shows up with presents for you, and I feel like I'm just there, 122 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.519 like means of shapes. But he's bringing me the present and that when you 123 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.679 know, I don't know what it is, but okay, you know you 124 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.240 know what I mean to. I mean to sports memorabilia. Got it, 125 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.519 So it's related to that. So I'm looking forward to seeing that. I'm 126 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.080 looking forward to getting putting it. On my wall in my office. But 127 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.080 anyway, that's community guys. If you see us, we walk. We 128 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.440 do twenty thousand steps around the Horseshoe every day. If you see us and 129 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.399 you want to hat, we didn't. I definitely do three laps without you 130 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.799 today. I know, yeah, I just wanted to get around stop us. 131 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.559 Say. I was d yesterday. I got home and I was like, 132 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.159 I only did ten thousand. I was like, damn it. Tell 133 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.320 hello Ostra hat. Hopefully Donnie's supposive order of new hats will be here, 134 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.480 so yeah, I should probably reach out to them and figure out where we 135 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.799 had from. All right, moving on, let's get into the news and 136 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:26.000 happenings around the Horseshoe and Paris, and we'll start with the five hundred dollars 137 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.399 WSP kickoff Freeze Out. Have to mention freeze out because so here's the deal. 138 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.799 We talked about this event on yesterday's show. We talked about sort of 139 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.639 our expectations for the numbers. I think I said five thousand to sixty five 140 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:48.279 hundred. I said sixty five hundred. Yeah, so you have an excuse. 141 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.919 I don't really have an excuse. I was just flat out way off 142 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.399 the mark. You thought that it was a re entry it was one entry, 143 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.600 two re entries, unlimited whatever. Still that would help. I knew 144 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.720 it was a freezer, and I still thought I was gonna get five thousand 145 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.639 to sixty five hundred. Now listen, it drew well, three four hundred 146 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.440 and eighty five entries. Nothing to sneeze out. Of course, I just 147 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.799 thought that there would be more people coming out. But I will say that 148 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.799 while we were wildly off on our prediction there, I think we still painted 149 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.759 the scene correctly by saying that, like it kind of felt like it was 150 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.840 a very slow build, Like it didn't really feel like the buzz was here 151 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.200 yet. I still am not sure I totally feel that yet, but that's 152 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.120 fine. I kind of like this build right now. And I definitely think 153 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.360 we're gonna get hit in the face with it for the Mystery millions. Yeah, 154 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.399 you know, well first first, I mean we're gonna get hit in 155 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.639 the face of it a little bit with with tomorrow with the twenty five k 156 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.960 heads up, because you're gonna see like the biggest, the best names, 157 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.480 and like that's part of it. Yeah, you're not gonna get like the 158 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.240 twenty thousand player field in the twenty five k heads up. But you're gonna 159 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.360 get a lot of big names, so so that's exciting. But still this 160 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.000 five hundred dollars kickoff event and eighty five entries, five hundred and twenty three 161 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.240 finished in the money, more than one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars up 162 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.399 top for first place. I do know that Daniel Legran who is I think 163 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.639 he's still in right now. They're I think they're a little bit over three 164 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.679 hundred left. Maybe they're under the under the three hundred mark right now, 165 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.440 so they are into the money. Daniel Legran, who is doing his thing? 166 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.480 Do you do you know who bubbled that event? According to the updates 167 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.960 that are done by the Poker News team, they said, Sean Deep bubbled 168 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.759 your arch enemy. Now you we're all giddy like a kid on Christmas morning. 169 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.519 Took to Twitter immediately, Yeah, of cost to just absolutely shower Sean 170 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.360 Deep. He responded in a way that made it seem like maybe he did 171 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.200 cash. Maybe And in these massive field events, yeah, they try and 172 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.639 go hand for hand, but it's it's kind of chaos, like that's just 173 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.799 how it is. So maybe there was multiple eliminations and he got like he 174 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.120 got into the money somehow. So maybe he did. But yeah, I 175 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.679 mean, and the reason why, the reason why, Tim, I mean, 176 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:15.720 Tim's has this little feud going on with Sean deep but today especially we're 177 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.279 over there, we're wandering, we're going through the field. Look I look 178 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.639 over, Sean Deeps has got his middle finger pointed straight at me. I'm 179 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.200 like, what did I do? I'm like, Tim is the guy I 180 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.000 don't agree with him in this feud. Yeah, that's you and him. 181 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.600 He's like, you didn't draft me. You got Daniel for one thirty two. 182 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.200 He's not worth that. Blah blah blah. I said, Sean, 183 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.960 how many cashes do you have? He said? He said none. I 184 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.679 said, well Daniel has one, and he said, I'm about to get 185 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.720 mine right now. I said, well, Daniel's also still in, so 186 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.840 he's gonna get one too. I mean, I what do you want me 187 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.879 to say? So far he is outperforming you. I don't know what you 188 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.399 want me to say. Sean said something about how he helped carry us to 189 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.679 victory last year. He did, yes, boss, you know we're all 190 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.840 in on team Dan Eggs This year clearly most expensive player ever in twenty five 191 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:07.399 K draft history and we are all in on mister quality over quantity. Sorry, 192 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.080 Sean Love you mean it, But this year we're just going with Sean 193 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.759 Dee. That's they're sorry, We're going with Dan mcgranny. That's just how 194 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.559 It is. Not a big deal. So I don't know if he bubbled 195 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.240 or not. But either way, Shawn's onto the next event. And like 196 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.960 I said, Daniel is at least right now ten thirty pm on Wednesday night, 197 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.039 I think he's still in over there. Hopefully he's still grinding. Will 198 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.519 be interesting though, if he does make it to tomorrow, because is he 199 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.840 gonna skip the twenty five K heads up? This event was not on his 200 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.440 schedule of potential events. I don't believe so. I think he had forty 201 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.720 five events on there that he posted on social media. I went through them 202 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.600 all. It was fewer events than he has played in the years past. 203 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.279 Of course, again he's going with that model for the year, quality over 204 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.120 quantity, but he did mention with this one. He goes, you know, 205 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.879 if that five K champions reunion doesn't work out, I can hop in 206 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.120 this one because it's only scheduled for two days. It's only a freeze out, 207 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.799 So you know, I'm not gonna get sucked in there for six days 208 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.519 or whatever the heck he got sucked in there for when he played that three 209 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.080 hundred dollars Gladiators of Poker event last year and he went really deep. Right, 210 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.679 Yeah, but if he does make it to tomorrow and has even like 211 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.320 minimal success tomorrow, then he likely will have to skip the twenty five k 212 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.480 heads up. I disagree. Oh he's going to multi table. I think 213 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.799 he can multi table good multi table. Away, Daniel, let's go, 214 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.200 mister. Quality over quantity might not multiple It's not about Look, yes, 215 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.080 it's quality over quantity. But the difference is with the heads up. There's 216 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.480 sixty four players, right, and it's often this man. Every year it 217 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.200 is some kind of negotiation like, hey, can we start thirty minutes la 218 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.320 it? Can we do it? How much this time? You know you 219 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.080 kind of that group of players that's sixty four. You know they probably won't 220 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.799 know each other. I think they're okay with, like, you know, 221 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.320 making little exceptions where they can. Now, if the guy Daniel draws is 222 00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.799 like, no, sit your ass down and play, you know, Daniel's 223 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.519 in the money for fifty probably you know, thirteen hundred dollars. If he 224 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.000 makes it through tonight, I think he's probably just gonna let his stack blind 225 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.360 out or runover. I'm all in go back to the heads up, so 226 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:15.399 I feel like there will be some games when ship and maybe he can negotiaate 227 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.200 let's can we start in LA to give me twenty minutes or something. Well, 228 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.080 the thing is is that the five hundred dollars kickoff is scheduled to restart 229 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.559 at eleven am. The twenty five k heads Up is scheduled to start at 230 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:30.639 noon, so at least he does have that hour buffer. I would probably 231 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.840 guess that Daniel. I have no idea, and maybe he'll tell me that 232 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.039 I'm wrong or right, but my read is that Daniel would if he does 233 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.879 make it to day two in the five hundred dollars kickoff, And please do 234 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.159 that, Daniel, because you are you know, we spend one hundred and 235 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.759 thirty two dollars on you would love for you to do that. Just ballstal 236 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.679 the wall for that hour, just just try and like ten x your stack 237 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.559 or bust out of the tournament, you know, cause like it's just gonna 238 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.919 take so much to like go really really deep in that thing still, so 239 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.879 so you know, just balls to the wall, no big deal, like 240 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.360 you have some fun with it and then you know hop in the twenty five 241 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.480 K, that's what I think, So that's kind of what I think he'll 242 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.080 approach it. But who knows, right, I just think we'll see. 243 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.440 Because of the event five hundred dollars buying, the fact that the main cash 244 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.360 is well there, I think the second level of cashing right now, men, 245 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.240 cash was one thousand and one dollars. Next level of cash was one 246 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.960 thousand and fifty one. It's so small that the ROI he's giving up by 247 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.039 like going to play the heads up doesn't matter that much. If this was 248 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.639 like a five K buy and like the Champions or something, then yeah, 249 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.480 now that's a bit of a bigger decision. But the fact that it's so 250 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.320 small was saying to me in the twenty five K. Do want to report 251 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.600 quickly that Christina Gollins has been eliminated in the five thousand dollars Champions Reunion. 252 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.879 A Ramzobian, the US poke Ger Open champion, took her out in thirteenth 253 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:56.559 place, so that Champions Reunion is now down to twelve players saw that because 254 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.240 I wanted to go over here to the blog for the five hundred dollars kickoff 255 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.559 event and see what's going on over there. It looks like they're still right 256 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:10.559 around three hundred and maybe a little bit less looking at these chip counts. 257 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.160 Jason Wheeler has been up on top for pretty much the whole time. Marco 258 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.880 Johnson's doing well, define leave Alricabono, Ryan Reese is in there, Dan 259 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.759 Shack's doing well Dan, and Legrand you it says he's still in there. 260 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.240 Hopefully that's the case. Baby, let's go d nag. So yeah, 261 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.640 I mean, we'll have more money or sorry, we'll have more information on 262 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.559 this event tomorrow when we see how it goes. We are at least currently 263 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.799 it's on the schedule to live stream the final table. Still TBD on when 264 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:47.920 that's gonna be, just because of the time of this thing. So I 265 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.400 would stay tuned to poker ro social media accounts to kind of find out when 266 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.200 we're gonna do that. You can also check the schedule at pokergro dot com 267 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.599 slash schedule for when we're going to be live streaming that one. I love 268 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:07.200 doing commentary and watching these small buy in WSP events, you know, the 269 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.920 events where it really is poker dreams being made. I mean that it's just 270 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:17.079 awesome to me. Someone's gonna someone's gonna have invested five hundred dollars, they're 271 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:19.640 gonna have gone through a field of almost thirty five hundred entries and they're gonna 272 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.079 win more than one hundred and seventy five k. Now if that's Daniel Legrandu, 273 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.960 not life changing money, not a dream maker for him, right, 274 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:32.359 Yeah, but for probably three four hundred and eighty people in the field. 275 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.759 Yeah, it's it's like that's a dream. So that's awesome Again, Tim 276 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:41.160 and I suck at doing field sizes, but hey, what are you gonna 277 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.079 do? Sometimes you're just gonna miss some things. Sometimes you don't read the 278 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:45.000 structure she did and think it's a re entry. Yeah, that's you. 279 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:51.519 I was just wildly off. Event number four, fifteen hundred dollars Omaha high 280 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:56.480 low. Speaking of entries, nine hundred and twenty eight entries in this tournament, 281 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.599 one hundred and forty in the money, almost two hundred and ten thousand 282 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:07.279 dollars for first place, So this one did have a dip A pretty pretty 283 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:12.559 decent sized dip that this tournament always does extremely well. I think last year 284 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.880 it was a record setter if I remember correctly. In terms of this tournament, 285 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:23.319 the twenty twenty three fifteen hundred dollars Omaha High Low Field got was forty 286 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:29.079 three entries. Jim Collopy topped them all to win two hundred and sixty two 287 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.799 five hundred dollars. Currently in the mix this year, we got Matt Lance 288 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.839 out there, Sean Troja, Robert mss Rocky, Frankie Odell. They all 289 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.920 looked to be doing well. I did see Phil Helmuth was over there. 290 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.440 I don't know if Seande was able to make it after busting out of the 291 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.759 five hundred and hopping into that one, but if he was able to get 292 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.400 in there before Red close, I would imagine that he's over there. So 293 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:56.759 yeah, a good tournament here. The fifteen hundred dollars Omaha High Low scheduled 294 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.039 for what three days? So we'll stay too to this one, see how 295 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.400 it's going, and you know, updates you guys as we go. I 296 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:10.000 guess. Let me just say that the Champions Reunion is scheduled for the live 297 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:15.480 stream tomorrow at eight pm Eastern time five pm Pacific time comes with a little 298 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.000 asterisk that you know, subject to change, I guess you know, depending 299 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.359 on how they finish out. Again, there are twelve players remaining, so 300 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.759 we'll see. We'll see how that one goes. In terms of those finishing 301 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.119 in the money. I just mentioned Christina Gollins busting in thirteenth place. We 302 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.000 had Brian rast Poker Hall of Famer. Brian Rass goes out in seventeenth. 303 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:40.200 Qui Win went out in twenty first. Last Wisby made him a champion standing 304 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.039 Qui Win. Dan Zach twenty sixth, Dan Harrington, the legendary Dan Harrington 305 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.519 action. Dan didn't. I didn't, not that I didn't recognize him. 306 00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.880 I recognized him once I saw him, but like he didn't catch my eye 307 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.200 because I didn't see the bright green flat brand of Celtics hat or red Sox 308 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.799 hat, whatever the heck hat it is. Didn't see it. He didn't 309 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:03.160 have a on so Dan Harrington thirty seventh, Carry Katz thirty eighth, Chad 310 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:10.720 you Sledged thirty ninth, Bakes fortieth with Bakes because like he tweeted that thing 311 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.920 where he changed his name and I thought it was David Bakes. But it's 312 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.880 just like, so it's gonna take me some getting used to there, Kristen 313 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.680 Fox and forty fifth Daniel legrand who got a cash in fiftieth place, and 314 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.440 I want to I've got day. I want to hit on this because with 315 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:32.680 that cash nine thousand, one hundred and forty one dollars, Daniel Legrandu moved 316 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:38.079 up over one million dollars in live tournament winnings for the twenty twenty four calendar 317 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:45.559 year. It is the sixteenth time in Daniel Legrandhu's brilliant poker career that he 318 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:52.799 has won or cashed for more than a million dollars in a single calendar year. 319 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.559 No one else has more than fourteen. So so Negranu has sixteen of 320 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.799 those million dollar plus years. Then it's phill Ivey with fourteen. That is 321 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.160 a group of five players, Steven Chadwick, Dan Smith, Isaac Hackson, 322 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.480 Eric said, Allen Philhelmy all tied with twelve, and then you have Adrian 323 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:12.480 Mitteos, David Peters and Steve O'Dwyer tied with eleven. So grind New crushing 324 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.920 in that regard. And obviously, you know, we don't know exactly how 325 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.279 much he's up or down. I can just guess that he's up a decent 326 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.240 amount on the year with all the success that he's been having. He does 327 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:30.359 sit fourth on the EPGT leaderboard currently with eight hundred and ninety six points, 328 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.799 So Daniel's doing pretty well. He's trying trying to kind of write the ship 329 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.640 from from last year when he lost more than two point two million dollars. 330 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.279 If you didn't see his post about his video on the d on the Grand 331 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:47.480 New YouTube channel at the beginning of the year, he posted about his results 332 00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.920 from the year before he gave the number that he did lose more than two 333 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.640 point two million dollars. So this year, that's what that's what spawned the 334 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:59.640 quality over quantity approach. You know, go in to tournaments, spend a 335 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.599 little bit more time focusing on select events, not just play anything and everything 336 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:06.240 under the sun, and try and do a little bit better. And so 337 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.000 far it seems to be doing well. But like I said, with that 338 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:15.119 fiftieth place finish in the Champions Reunion, Daniel mcgrowney does move up over one 339 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.119 million dollars in live tournament aarians for the year of twenty twenty four. A 340 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.519 couple more finishes here in the Champions Reunion, you had Mariajo fifty first place. 341 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.799 We had Dan Weinman, last year's WIS Premintament champion fifty second champion, 342 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:34.039 Becker fifty eighth. He's on the board for Team Becker slash Negranu File while 343 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.960 land Entice is over there at the Luck Store playing the WPT Final table, 344 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.079 which for some reason isn't being live streaming. Matt Savage, please help. 345 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.240 I don't really know what's going on. I know you're like busy working on 346 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.839 that six year old presentation that you were doing. You don't put any backgrounds 347 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.480 in that. We're gonna change some fonts. That was the worst looking I've 348 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.240 ever seen a line, not pitches clip on going. First of all, 349 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.400 the grammar of the sense I didn't read this, sen I'm not horriffic. 350 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.200 I'm not horrific, does he expect? Second of all, like it we're 351 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.759 in an age when you could probably just like Google, like PowerPoint and like 352 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.880 you can put punched a couple of things in online and it'll just spit it 353 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.720 out for you. I refuse to put that on. I was gonna say 354 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.000 radio, and we should refuse. You should request that we see it. 355 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.400 Ahead of time, and if it looks like that, you should be like 356 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.680 not anyone cannot read it, we can put it's Matt. All you're doing 357 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.880 is golfing right now and watching three final tables that aren't even being streamed. 358 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.559 You spend some time make this TDA Summit presentation look good, and I'll put 359 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.599 it on the led wall. Come the TDA Summit, which is June twenty 360 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.319 ninth and thirtieth at the Puggo Studio. Yeah. David Williams sixty fourth place 361 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:52.599 in the Champions re Union, Greg Merrison's sixty seventh, Maria Kannakova seventy sixth 362 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.640 event number two, the five hundred dollars Casino Employees event. Tim wrote here 363 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.519 that this one's gonna need an additional day, so I'll trust him with the 364 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.759 way that it's going. It looks like we got Jose Garcia up on top 365 00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.279 now I get to say this one. Seventeen players are remaining right now, 366 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:23.000 So yeah, this looks like it's gonna need an additional day. There was 367 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.000 some chatter coming from I mean, it was started. I believe it started. 368 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.039 I could be wrong, but Alan Kestler was at least echoing it on 369 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:36.799 social media about some of the people playing in this event and are they really 370 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:41.240 casino employees are they not? I don't know. It's interesting. It's an 371 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.079 interesting debate. I think my feeling tells me they've always been a little bit 372 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:53.920 lenient on the quote unquote casino employee like requirement here. But I'm pretty sure 373 00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:59.960 he didn't name names, but I was talking about Michael Holtz, Mike Holts 374 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.359 just my cults. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's interesting because it's 375 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.000 like, well, so Michael, he's referring to Michael, who is I 376 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.799 believe, the reigning w sputity line two times true time. Yeah, I 377 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:14.319 mean, listen, I like my great, great guy, really good player 378 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.839 as well. And and he's in there. I believe, And and if 379 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.440 I'm wrong, I apologize ahead of time. But I believe because he is 380 00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:26.279 now a co host on the Poker News podcast, so like that's how he's 381 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:32.480 in. But he's done what maybe ten episodes with them, yea. So 382 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.400 it's it's kind of tricky because Poker News is an interesting thing. I mean, 383 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:38.119 I can speak on this because I used to work for the company, 384 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.880 had to had to deal with this sort of stuff. Same with you, 385 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.319 but like when you had to work at certain places you were kind of employed 386 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:51.559 by, or you had to get like paperwork for different casinos to work there, 387 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:55.039 you know, like PCA, some of the European stops. I remember 388 00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:56.480 one time, I think I went to like Iowa or something, I don't 389 00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.359 even know, but I had to have like a whole gaming badge and this 390 00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.720 whole damn thing. But you have to have like that sort of stuff, 391 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.960 right, But like I don't think Mike Colts has to have that, right, 392 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.000 So how does it work out there? So now I will also say 393 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:14.640 that Poker News is owned by Flutter, which is a giant gaming company that 394 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.400 owns Poker Stars. They owned FanDuel, they owned Poker News, So does 395 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.039 that count. I mean Flutter is essentially one giant casino, right, so 396 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.279 it's it's it's just interesting, right. And there are some others as well 397 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:30.920 that are you know, I would say, fall into that same sort of 398 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.559 or at least more of a gray area similar to Holtz. I want to 399 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:41.839 firstly say that this this tournament has been very leaning over the years from casino 400 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.359 employees. Do you see the Brazilian guy? Did you see that brazil There 401 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:49.119 was there was or maybe it was a Portuguese guy, but there was either 402 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.839 a Brazilion or Portuguese media outlet put it out there that like a Brazilion or 403 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.920 Portuguese player played the casino employees event, not not a casino employee, and 404 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.799 then after eight hours like realized that he was like in the tournament and was 405 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:06.519 like and somehow like that he got informed or like somebody told them, well, 406 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.480 like when you go to cash out, they're not gonna let you cash 407 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:10.519 out because I don't let you cash Yeah. I have no idea, but 408 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.240 anyway, I don't I didn't really follow the whole story. Like so I 409 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:15.640 didn't really get from the story. I didn't get if he like just took 410 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.519 himself out of the tournament or like what happened. But it seemed like he 411 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.440 like played for eight hours and like van in his that maybe he got busted. 412 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.920 I have no idea, but yeah, over the years has been pretty 413 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.960 lenient. You know, it was casino employees yet to present a gaming batch. 414 00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.759 It could be expired, but gaming badge got you in. And then 415 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:36.160 I don't know, maybe ten fifteen years ago whatever, when we were a 416 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:41.720 poker news kind of expanded to be industry where you know, US media people 417 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.799 could be in fine with that too. This year, we've seen some people 418 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.240 in there that it definitely poker players first, then industry people's second. I'm 419 00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.440 going to throw out some names at you. I think you already mentioned Mike 420 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.039 Caels, I don't give a shit. Lucas Robinson's wearing a pocon news patch. 421 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.319 He is on Game of Gold, Poker Player. He's part of the 422 00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:06.039 like poker news like vlog team Restreat. Okay, but I'm okay, that's 423 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:08.519 what I'm not sure that's it's kind of that's you know, it's a similar 424 00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:14.480 role to like what Mike Holts does. Okay, kayln Kameski content creator, 425 00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:18.079 Okay, I kind of get it. Nikki Limo content creator, Okay, 426 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.920 kind of get it. Who's who's the other the girl? The other girl 427 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.160 on the podcast with Chad and Mike kind of England kind of England, same 428 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:32.880 thing, but Kinder and Mike definitely definitely poker players first. So yeah, 429 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.920 it's it's on the fringe, my but I'm okay with it. I like 430 00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:40.319 the casino employees event. I think it's a good opportunity. Maybe it needs 431 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.160 a name change, Maybe it needs to be casino and industry employees event. 432 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.839 And then sure, Nikki Limo, you want to bring your poker dot Org 433 00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:52.480 ten ninety nine and you want to bring your you know, husse casino live 434 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.240 this, or you want to bring whatever it is to qualify you in. 435 00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.839 I'm okay with that. But what it says casino employees and you say content 436 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.240 creat isy in that, I think it's leaves a bad taste in the mouth 437 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:11.240 of the actual casino employees. Well, it's it's maybe I get blasted for 438 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.519 making this analogy. Maybe I don't whatever. To me, it's similar to 439 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:22.839 men playing the women's event, because you can play it. If you're a 440 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.960 man, you're just gonna have to pay ten thousand dollars to buy and you 441 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.559 don't get that nine thousand dollars discount. Right, there's no like law against 442 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.039 you playing, you know, but it's it's gonna be looked at you like 443 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:40.240 extremely frowned upon, and it's gonna look like you're being disrespectful to the spirit 444 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:45.079 of the event, which I mean, I understand that like this event the 445 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.200 casino employees. I I like it, you know, I think it's I 446 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.759 think like the way that it's done. It's fine. Like I don't want 447 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.319 to like have like these giant hoops that you have to jump through, you 448 00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.079 have to provide this, that and the other thing in terms of like ID 449 00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.319 employment verification, like all this sort of crap. That would just make it 450 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.599 too much of an issue. So I don't mind the way that the wisped 451 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:08.440 doesn't. I think it's fine. I almost just like want the players in 452 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.240 question to kind of like in the spirit of the event, not play. 453 00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.319 Yeah, like that's kind of where I'm at right Like in the spirit of 454 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.839 the event. I'm not a casino employee, so I'm just not gonna play. 455 00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:22.960 It's not like you would have had to wait that long, you wait 456 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.119 one more day, you just play the five hundred dollars kickoff. I mean, 457 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:26.480 like, what is it? You know, what does it really matter? 458 00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.599 So so that's how I would have, you know, approached it if 459 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:34.119 I if I was in one of their shoes, which that that's my only 460 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.079 thing. But yeah, but it's it. You know. It was getting 461 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:38.799 a little chatter on social media, so I did want to bring it up 462 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:45.119 in regards to this event. Looks like they're down to fifteen players now, 463 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.519 is Mike Holt still in he is, it's gonna be funny if he won, 464 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.200 now that you know, he kind of got that, and I think 465 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:55.599 I even saw him like tweet about it before the event, being like should 466 00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:56.839 I play it? I guess I can play it? But like, am 467 00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.839 I a professional booker player? What's the deal? So? So yeah? 468 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.079 I mean, but on on like ws AP side, I wouldn't do anything 469 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:08.400 to change the rules because it's just it's just too tricky. You can expand 470 00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:10.359 it, I want, I want, No, Yeah, for sure, 471 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:15.000 Let's just change the name on the structure sheet clearly say casino employees, poker 472 00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:20.119 industry members, industry vocational or something like, you know, like what like 473 00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:23.839 just just make it a bit more like we remove the handcuffs a little bit, 474 00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:28.599 just so it's like very everyone's okay with Josey in this event. Yeah, 475 00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:31.799 it's called the Industry Invitational. Would you have any issues with Nikki Lemo 476 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.640 playing? Well, No, exactly, I just I just, you know, 477 00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.039 I just don't. I think the spirit of the event was created for 478 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:45.119 like almost for dealers and like floor staff within poa's you know, like specifically 479 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.400 obviously you can play it if you're you know, you're not working in poker, 480 00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.680 but you're still on the casino, you know, if you're a Roulette 481 00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.160 dealer or whatever, blackcheck dealer. But yeah, I think that's what it 482 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:57.319 was meant to be. But yeah, yeah, it's just evolved of it. 483 00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.880 It's just it's just an interesting little kind of quirk that that came up, 484 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:04.440 and it obviously, you know, it get it gets it gets emphasized 485 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.319 because you know, these players are running deep. Is Christopher Keem still he 486 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.039 is? What do they call him? Ginger? Is that what his name 487 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:13.839 tag says? I believe it says Ginger on it. I've seen a different 488 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:15.759 He's a very he's a very good dealer here at the Douvast, but he 489 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:20.680 also travels around the circuit. I think he did the WPT crewse, he 490 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:25.799 does circuit stops all all this sort of stuff. He's got long hair and 491 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:30.799 a very long beard, and it's bright red. Ye can't miss. Pretty 492 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:35.519 sure, Yeah, pretty sure. His name text says Ginger. I think 493 00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:40.160 it has said nomad before too. I mean maybe that's maybe he's Instagram Okay, 494 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.319 yeah, his Instagram is no Mad Chronicles, That's what it is. 495 00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.599 I mean, do we have anything else to talk about regarding the casino employees, 496 00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.000 e end or just in general. Can we can we throw out? 497 00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:55.480 Firstly, we should start a new thing, a new section, producer Rich, 498 00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.880 find some new music. Because every time we've walked a lot, every 499 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:02.480 time it's been two days the first day and today we've walked around. We're 500 00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.839 trying to find the most random person that we've seen earlier in the day. 501 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:13.000 Who was the random guy we saw in the eight the croc or before that, 502 00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:15.239 Victor Blum, Oh, Victor Blom? Okay, then who did we 503 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.280 see? There were some people in the O eight that I'm like, you 504 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:21.719 for sure have never played this game in you Who did we see in the 505 00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.039 kickoff on the rail and we had to just double check, take a photo 506 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:28.400 and confirm Dmitri Nobles? Yeah, we need to started like tho. He 507 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:30.679 was not we were on the rail, he was playing. Yeah, we 508 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:36.559 need a random Person of the Day nomination, and I think today is Dimitri 509 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.199 Nobles. Yeah, I mean I haven't seen that guy in a couple of 510 00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:45.800 years. I haven't seen him since WSP Classic episodes seen him I've seen I 511 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.000 think he popped in a couple of years ago. I can't remember if it 512 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.719 was that, the rio for it was here. But what Dmitri Nobles, 513 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.519 you are the random player of the day. I mean for the Crock. 514 00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.440 Okay, who looked by the way it looks fifteen years younger. Then I 515 00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.679 remember what okay? Look From now on, Z we'll do both have a 516 00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:05.960 nomination. You've got Billy the Crock. I got to meet you Nobles for 517 00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:08.760 day two. We'll go from there. Yeah, all right, cool on 518 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:13.719 deck for tomorrow. Here at the twenty twenty four World Series of Poker, 519 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:17.079 it's gonna be a shit showing here because we got day one A of the 520 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.920 one thousand dollars Mystery Millions. That is, of course, the w s 521 00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:29.559 AP's epic mystery Bounty event one thousand dollars buy in. I think unlimited reentries. 522 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.159 It's re entry to some point, but I can remember if it's unlimited 523 00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:34.239 or if it's like, you know, two per flight or whatever it is. 524 00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.320 Timkin effort that right now on the structure sheet. But there is a 525 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:43.000 guaranteed one million dollar bounty up for grabs. Last year there was two, 526 00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:47.800 right, there's two million dollar bounties, I believe, plus first place is 527 00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:52.559 a million dollars it was two million dollar bounties loss he won was won by 528 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:57.639 of course two years ago, and then mac Laans won the million dollar bounty. 529 00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:01.400 You know famously last year million dollar bounty winners. So if this one 530 00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:07.199 says top bounty prize is guaranteed one million dollars, yeah, I think I 531 00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:12.280 think there's one that's guaranteed because last year they had eighteen thousand, nineteen thousand 532 00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:14.719 entries, So then they were like, yeah, let's do two. Let's 533 00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:16.599 go. I mean, and who knows you are that one reentry fight, 534 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:21.079 one reentry per flight? How many flights? Three? Four full fight? 535 00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:24.800 Four flights next forty? Yeah, So it's going to be interesting to see 536 00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:30.800 where this one comes in field size. As we mentioned earlier, Tim and 537 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:37.320 I were wildly wrong on where the w SIP five hundred dollars kickoff event would 538 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.400 come in, but hey, you know, who knows that doesn't really mean 539 00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:45.920 anything. That was the middle of the week. I will say that last 540 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:51.239 year's twenty twenty three WIP Mystery Millions had eighteen thousand, one hundred and eighteen 541 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:58.480 entries, the sixth largest live poker tournament in terms of field size of all 542 00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:05.239 time, quickly number one on that list. Twenty nineteen Dobasip Big Fifty twenty 543 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.440 eight thousand, three hundred and seventy one entries, number two on that list. 544 00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:15.760 Also from last year's WICIP the WSIP Gladiators of Poker twenty three thousand, 545 00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.239 eighty eight entries, number three on that list. We got to go back 546 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:23.960 to twenty fifteen for the wsipy Colossus. It was the first ever WICIP colossus 547 00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:29.920 that year twenty two thousand, three hundred and seventy four entries for also the 548 00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.760 WICIP Colossus, this time from twenty sixteen, twenty one thousand, six hundred 549 00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:38.400 and thirteen entries, and then number five on the list, just ahead of 550 00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:45.719 the twenty twenty three Dobasipy Mystery Millions is the twenty twenty two Doubasip Housewarming twenty 551 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:52.519 thousand and eighty entries. This Mystery Millions was huge, and then when it 552 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.119 was called the Million Dollar Bounty back in twenty twenty two, fourteen thousand, 553 00:37:55.239 --> 00:38:00.760 one hundred and twelve entries. So in twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three 554 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.800 it grew by just about four thousand entries. I thought going into the WICIP 555 00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.639 that it would grow again, I thought we would get up over twenty thousand. 556 00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:14.519 I'm wondering if I'm starting to back off with where my projection was on 557 00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:19.079 the wasity kickoff event or you know, but it could also it could also 558 00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.400 go up, and that feeling of mine could be right, and then I 559 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:28.239 was just wildly off with the kickoff and whatever. Who cares, But you 560 00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.960 know, either way, I think it's I'm pretty sure it's a guaranteed fifteen 561 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:36.960 thousand. I think that's a lock over fifteen thousand entries in this thing, 562 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:42.639 which is absolutely massive, and then whatever happens after that happens. So we'll 563 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:45.559 see how it goes. What did it have last year? Exactly eighteen thousand, 564 00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:50.079 one hundred and eighteen. I'm looking at the structure, sheepe, it's 565 00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:57.559 exactly the same same amount of levels, everything's the same. So oh man, 566 00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:00.880 I kind of want to go on to I'm going on. I mean, 567 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:05.000 the starting days are lined up nicely Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 568 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.360 so so I think that works. I mean, I don't remember exactly 569 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.800 last year, like what, first of all, what day of the week 570 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:14.760 it started. I also don't remember like I can tell you day day two 571 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.599 last year was on Monday. Okay, say two. This year is on 572 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:21.239 Sunday, which I think is actually sorry either way, I was other way 573 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.320 Day two the first year, twenty twenty two. Day two was on Sunday. 574 00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:28.280 This year is on Monday, which I think is better. Yeah, 575 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.159 for sure because you get both weekends for the for the starting flights. But 576 00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:36.760 also like what what led into it last year? Meaning like does the factory 577 00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:38.239 last year it was the Yeah, So like does the fact that you have 578 00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:43.960 this w SP five hundred dollars kickoff? You know, help boost the numbers 579 00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:45.679 a little bit? You know, people come out a little bit. They're 580 00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.800 like, you know, I can fire the five hundred, you know, 581 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:51.880 for a day or two, then I can fire the mystery millions that sort 582 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:53.760 of thing. Who knows. Also, I just feel like last year there 583 00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:55.920 was a lot of buzz, you know, the past two years, there's 584 00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:59.760 a lot of buzz. I think this event specifically gets a lot of buzz, 585 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.760 you know, as it should. You're you're you last year pulled two 586 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.760 million dollar bounties, Like, there's a very good chance that happens again, 587 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:13.079 right, And I know they only say one is guaranteed, but uh wait, 588 00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:16.039 you only you only want one. I want one, give five hundred 589 00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:21.159 case, give me a seven to fifty and five. I'd rather just do 590 00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:23.639 it differently. That's that's fine, But I mean cats out of the bag 591 00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:27.280 now, you know you're not putting that back in. If you can have 592 00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:29.800 two, you can have two. And then also the fact that one thing 593 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.880 that I liked is they also had that first place is a million, which 594 00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:36.159 which is good. You know, I like that as well. Last year 595 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:38.639 was Tyler Brown winning it made a great call and had to play with Ace 596 00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:44.800 High to win that title show and then shaved his head. But uh but 597 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:47.119 yeah, so I would expect, you know, easily fifteen thousand plus. 598 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.840 Would love to see them push push towards twenty thousand and then you know, 599 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:55.039 we really are off and off and running. Here at the twenty twenty four 600 00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:00.039 World Series of Poker, we also have the start of the twenty five thousand 601 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:06.079 dollars Heads Up Championship, always one of the biggest, baddest, most prestigious 602 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:08.760 events as part of the World Series of Poker. That one will be fun? 603 00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:14.239 Will that be? Will it be the first time we see mister phil 604 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:19.360 Ivy Is he coming? Who is he coming? Who you tell me is 605 00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:22.599 he coming? Is Ivy gonna play that one? We haven't seen Ivy yet. 606 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:23.880 I mean, why would we see him? I mean maybe for the 607 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:27.960 five K champions Reunion, but unless unless you showed. He went and showed 608 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:31.920 up for the fifteight. But I doubt I'm going to bet that he will 609 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:37.199 play the twenty five K Heads Up Championship. Are we gonna see John Smith 610 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.760 again? He's already registered. I already checked the registration les did you really 611 00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.440 he registered July nineteenth, twenty twenty three. Are you being serious? Are 612 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:50.079 you joking? I've known some joking. I no, I think John Smith? 613 00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.800 Yeah, yeah, of course he's like probably played it the most times. 614 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.519 Yeah, I mean we're gonna I mean that that one's always fun. 615 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.800 And we talked about a little bit with Negronion. They're not he'll get in. 616 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.320 It'll it'll depend how he does in that five hundred kickoff event. Is 617 00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.440 he done with the million dollars today? It was they did play today but 618 00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:12.119 it got cut, Yeah, it got cut shorts. I'm wondering maybe we 619 00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:15.480 see him jump on a little little playing. Isn't that what he did last 620 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.360 year? He like showed up they walked up to the table with his luggage. 621 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:21.039 Yeah, I think so. All right, So so maybe we get 622 00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:24.440 Doug Polk as well. You'll get a lot of quote unquote randoms. And 623 00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:31.440 I say that meaning like Josh Heinzel, like online heads up crushers from Europe 624 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:35.599 that only play heads up, that's all they do. And then they come 625 00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:37.360 out to the World Racer at this one event, like you always get more 626 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:42.400 of this. You always get a couple of those every single year. So 627 00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:45.920 yeah, that one's gonna be a good fun one to look forward to. 628 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:50.280 And then we have day one of the fifteen dollars Dealer's Choice? Do you 629 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:53.159 want to stake me? I do not want to steak you. No, 630 00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:55.360 I can't stake you in that one. Sorry, all right? That's what 631 00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:59.679 game? Would you call first? Depends what other people call, but I'll 632 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:02.519 probably you're first, your first, You're first, You sit down, You 633 00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:07.920 choose something really confusing, to assess something really confused. Do I know my 634 00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.800 players? Do I know the five opponents? I mean you might know, 635 00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:15.960 like you might know two. I've had the most stacked Dealer's Choice final tables 636 00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.400 that when I played it, I've had, like Adam Friedman China. I've 637 00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:23.119 had insane final table, insane tables when I play this event. Let's say 638 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:27.280 I don't know them, I'm going to choose something pretty confusing, like butduci 639 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:30.800 to assess A do they know the rules of split pot draw games? B 640 00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:36.079 do they know draw games? Kind of thing? And then I would choose 641 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:39.039 Nolan mahold them that I would do because I know, but I don't want 642 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:42.599 people to know that I know limit hold them, don't know what anyone else 643 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.079 don't want people to know that. So that's gonna happen tomorrow. So so 644 00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.760 yeah, tomorrow is going to be a pretty fun day. Of course, 645 00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:53.000 we do have the live stream for the five thousand dollars champions Reunion. That'll 646 00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:59.639 be fun to get that going. Part of the reason why I feel like 647 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:02.480 like the we're not in the full swing of the summer is because we poker 648 00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:07.079 Go hasn't gotten fully started yet. Like when yeah, I know you were 649 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:09.960 saying that you were saying earlier. I mean, that's that's kind of how 650 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:13.800 I feel like we're here, and like there's a lot of stuff that's being 651 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:16.239 done to still get things set up. The room that we're in at horseshoe 652 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:20.800 is closed all. You can't even come in here unless you have a badger 653 00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.679 you work with the WSP or security or et cetera. So so we're kind 654 00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:28.639 of like sequestered when we're in here, and it feels like it feels like 655 00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:31.760 you're not even like you can't even like see the light of the other world 656 00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:35.719 that's out there. Like obviously we walk out there, you know, we 657 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.320 know on the other side of those doors across this room there's some tournaments being 658 00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:40.719 played, yes, and like we walk further, you know, you get 659 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:45.880 over to Paris, that sort of thing tomorrow. I'm very much looking forward 660 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:47.440 to it. I hope it's an absolute shit show. I mean that in 661 00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:51.400 the best way, because I just hope that there are thousands and thousands of 662 00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.960 people here firing into this mystery millions event and let's go. We're off and 663 00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:59.079 running. I can't wait. It's the World Series of Poker that's gonna do 664 00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:01.599 it for us. My name is Donny Peters, his name is Tim Duckworth, 665 00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:10.639 and we will talk to you guys later. Thanks Jenny Express
