WEBVTT 1 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:20.320 Everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast. My 2 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.199 name is Donny Peters. His name in the blue shirt across from me is 3 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.160 Tim Duckworth. Shout out to matching your shoelaces to your shirt today. I 4 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.640 noticed that. Yeah, you didn't even notice, and I did. I 5 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.679 didn't notice. Yep, I noticed it. You're on point today, buddy, 6 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.320 I like to see it. UM fun show. Today, we're going 7 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:45.479 to be taking a look at players to watch at the twenty twenty three USP. 8 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:51.079 Now, this list is Tim and I's lists, Okay, nobody else's. 9 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.280 We basically just thought of these. We tried to come up with ten 10 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.640 players that are going to be on our radar that we feel like should also 11 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.920 be on your radar, and we'll discuss why for each person as we get 12 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.239 through it. If you missed the earlier episodes that we've been doing this week, 13 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.200 it is Oursop Prep week. We are doing daily episodes of the number 14 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.359 one poker podcast in the land. On Monday show, we talked about Doyle 15 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:22.359 Brunson's passing the Triton Poker series wrapping up, and then on Tuesday's show we 16 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.840 got into Oursop predictions. Both of us are predicting a record ESOP main event 17 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.239 field today. As I said, players to watch at the twenty twenty three 18 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.560 WSOP still to come. Later this week. We got some twenty five K 19 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.439 Fantasy Poker League talk. We're gonna get Daniel mcgrand new on the show to 20 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.319 talk about that. One might have my teammate on, Matt Clark, friend 21 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.680 of the podcast, Matt Clark, former Team Poker Media. I guess he's 22 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.959 yeah, yeah, so we'll try and get him on as well. Him 23 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.680 and I are teaming up. We're gonna be back in twenty five K Fantasy 24 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:05.239 this year. If Daniel negrond news tweets are a sign at all, it's 25 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.879 going to be a record year in the twenty five K Fantasy. I think 26 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:14.240 the biggest was fifteen thirty three teams. I mean, I think he said 27 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.520 today there's been interest from twenty two teams. He expects eighteen to twenty, 28 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.560 so that would be absolutely incredible. I'm sure if I negotiated a day right 29 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.159 from my auction services, but it should be really team depends for sure. 30 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.759 There should for sure be a tip jar that is for sure, or like 31 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.560 you should somehow like finago percentages of each team or something. Oh yeah, 32 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.240 that's right. Um. We're also going to be doing a w s AP 33 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:45.400 mailbag episode.

All right, as 87 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.639 I said, we're going to be talking about players to watch at the twenty 88 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:42.040 twenty three WSP, Tim and I are each going to give ten players that 89 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.319 we believe maybe ten, maybe ten? What do you mean, Maybe you'll 90 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.360 get to it. Eric comes mister unprepared once again. I'm prepared in a 91 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.439 different way. Okay, he's prepared in a different way. I have no 92 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.319 idea what that means. But okay, um, these are players that are 93 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.680 on our Radar our watch list heading into the twenty twenty three Debisop that we 94 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.439 also believe should be on yours for various reasons, and we will talk about 95 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:11.639 those reasons. I guess I'll go first for this one because it comes with 96 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.240 a special treat I don't think that this should be of any surprise. Jeremy 97 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.800 Becker, the guy. He has absolutely been annihilating the win daily poker tournaments. 98 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.879 He's got like nineteen wins in the last week and a half or something 99 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.600 crazy Now I think it's I think it's six or seven wins in the last 100 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.800 month and a half, which is wild. Jeremy Becker, He's number one 101 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.000 on my list. He's as hot as anyone right now, just in terms 102 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:42.199 of like winning tournaments, putting money in his pocket, obviously running well, 103 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.519 because you have to run well to win a tournament, doesn't matter if it's 104 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.439 one hundred player daily or a twenty thousand player Colossus tournament does not matter. 105 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.000 You have to run hot. Jeremy Becker is certainly running hot. He's all 106 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.120 over social media. It seems like every single day or every other day win 107 00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:01.000 Poker is tweeting a face of Jeremy winning another tournament, so he's out there, 108 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.040 he's top of mine. And the special treat is that I was able 109 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.199 to sit down with Jeremy talk about his run, talk about heading into the 110 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.720 summer. So we'll play that interview for you now and then we will hop 111 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.800 on back into talking about the rest of our list of the players to watch 112 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.519 out the twenty twenty three WSOP. All right, everyone, I'm here with 113 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.319 Jeremy Becker, fresh out of his car up into the office, sitting across 114 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.720 from me here. How you doing, man, I'm doing good. Thanks 115 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.600 for having me. Yeah, So we were talking in the elevator on the 116 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.799 way up. You're living here now, but you're from New York. You've 117 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.919 had a lot of results in Florida as well. I was just looking through 118 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.200 the Hendon mob stuff online, so I guess my first question would be, 119 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.080 you know what, what kind of made you come out here to Vegas. 120 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.559 Um. I've recently gotten super into the tournaments the last almost three years now, 121 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.440 and there's just not something good to play every day back in Florida, 122 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.240 where I was living. And I mean every time I've been out to Vegas. 123 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.679 I love it out here, always something great to play, and I 124 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.759 just thought it was time for a change. Is poker your sole source of 125 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.279 income? Like, are you a professional player? M yes. The last 126 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.679 job I've had I was a caddy at a golf horse in high school. 127 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.120 So you know golf a little bit, A little bit. I don't know 128 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.840 anything about golf. I'm horrible at it. I've golf maybe three times in 129 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:24.039 my life. Every time people try and get me to go, I avoid 130 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.000 it because I know that I suck. Not only do I am horrible at 131 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.399 it, but I consider myself very competitive. So I shank a couple of 132 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.919 balls and I want to just break every club, you know. But it's 133 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.600 definitely something where you know, later on in life I'll probably pick it up 134 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.159 and try and get better at it actively, but right now it just drives 135 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.039 me away two nuts. So I referenced your Hendon mob having a bunch of 136 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.000 cashes. You have twenty four live tournament wins according to Hendon Mobb. Your 137 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.279 biggest cashes, I think it's a little over thirty six thousand and fourth place 138 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.120 finished in a Venetian event eleven hundred all buy in there one of three cashes 139 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.600 you have for more than third k. But the main reason we're having you 140 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.120 here on the show today, on the Poker Girl Podcast is you've been getting 141 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.120 a ton of love, a ton of buzz on social media, a ton 142 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.559 of Well I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you about the hate. Okay. Um, 143 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.120 it seems like every single week, maybe every other day, you're winning 144 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.919 a tournament at the at the win. You know, Um, you have 145 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.639 eight tournament wins this year alone. Okay, six of them have come at 146 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.480 the win and those six have come in like the last seven weeks. You 147 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.799 want a three hundred dollars daily. Um, that was the biggest win out 148 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.799 of out of this bunch, thirteen thousand and four hundred, and then you 149 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.440 won five two hundred dollars dailies. Um. You know, the field sizes 150 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.200 range anywhere from I think the smallest one was sixty nine entries all the way 151 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.559 up to one hundred and twenty eight entries. So I mean, they're not 152 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.000 the biggest field sizes in the world that but I've played these tournaments. I 153 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.879 played some of the dailies around town. These are probably the tougher dailies around 154 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.679 town. Um, still good value decent structure, all that sort of stuff. 155 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.600 Um, you know, you're winning between four and seven thousand dollars every 156 00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:00.000 time other than that thirteen thousand, four hundred overall. Also earlier this year 157 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.159 year you had a six hundred dollar tournament win at the Venetian for fifteen K. 158 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.039 You had a four hundre dollar win down in Seminole that was a big 159 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.559 field five fifteen entries, thirty three K there. I mean, I guess 160 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.799 what's clicking right now in this last like two months, UM, I would 161 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:22.360 say I definitely something that really helped me was studying these GG Super Millions final 162 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.840 tables, started watching a lot of those and really paying attention to what the 163 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.759 best players in the world they're doing. And also just confidence. I mean, 164 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.039 after going into that hard rock tournament, I just started to put some 165 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.960 stuff together and really take it more seriously. And once I won that one, 166 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.720 I just, I don't know, I got super confident and felt like 167 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.159 I could do no wrong. Sometimes. Now, all the wins that I've 168 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.759 looked up from this year doesn't look like you've chopped. You and I talked 169 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.600 a little bit about the chop thing before we went on record. You had 170 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.360 a segment on the Cracking Ace's podcast show to those guys talking about the chops, 171 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.600 you're not chop guy, correct, Yeah, very anti chop, which 172 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.039 I am also, so we can agree on the note chop thing. My 173 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.159 view is basically that you're not going to get heads up that often in tournaments. 174 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.799 When you do, you want to maximize the wins when you have them. 175 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.840 That That's kind of my view, So I'm not gonna chop. That 176 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.679 said, I'm a little bit different than most people out there. I do 177 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.960 have a job. I don't play poker professionally, so I understand that if 178 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.879 people want to chop, you know, to reduce the variants a little bit 179 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.840 and lockups that want to totally get it. Um anyway, Um, it's 180 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.679 gets good to know that, you know, you haven't been chopping and you've 181 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.480 just been winning these things. Have you gotten heads up in any of them 182 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.799 and lost? Last night of an issue? I mean, man, yeah, 183 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.279 Daniel Sepiel got me. They had a one day five hundred okay, 184 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.480 yeah, first it was a little over nine K. I got just over 185 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.279 six K. For second. I felt super bad too. He was trying 186 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.159 to get out of there. He did. He's big into FanDuel and okay, 187 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.919 he wanted to drive to the California border to set some lineups and I'm 188 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.039 just like, I can't do it. Man. I just went on a 189 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.519 podcast to saying no deals can you definitely can't deal now, like, yeah, 190 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.720 no matter what. I was already like that, but now it's like, 191 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.159 I really can't. And uh, he got me, so shout out 192 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.080 to him. Played great, He's gotten me a bunch in a bunch of 193 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.399 tournaments. And then just so everyone out there knows, Jeremy and I have 194 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.559 played a few times around town. Um My next question is gonna be about 195 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.440 Daniel Legrn. You and Daniel and I actually texted a little bit and I 196 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.720 said, Jeremy's the type of guy you don't want at your table um. 197 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.039 I you know, when I sit down and I see Jeremy across men, 198 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.720 I'm like, yeah, I could probably find a bit of table draw um. 199 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.799 But you know, it is what it is. You got a battle 200 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.639 with these people if you want to be out there in the streets. Speaking 201 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.039 of Daniel Legrane, you get all this love on social media and then he 202 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.399 tweets, hey, you want backing for the WSP and you are like, 203 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.039 what like, are are you joking you know? Or you yeah exactly? 204 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.559 He said, no serious, I'll DM you. So is that the thing? 205 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.159 Now? Are you getting staked by him or pieces or whatever? Um? 206 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.519 Yeah, I definitely think we're gonna do something. Um, nothing set 207 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.200 in stone, but I've been talking to him and Josh Rier about doing something 208 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.399 for the whole World Series. Um, they're interested. I'm interested. Um 209 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.879 it would be great to get under those guys wings and uh just hear what 210 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.159 they have to say, take their advice and everything like that. When it 211 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.080 comes to the World Series. I noticed you know you cashed in the main 212 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.120 event one year. Um, you have some other cashes in some smaller events. 213 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.679 What's like going into the summer, Like, what's your kind of your 214 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.360 plan? Are're just gonna try and fire everything that you can do. You 215 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.039 have a sort of a limit on like the buying level outside of the main 216 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.120 event. You know, everyone tries to play the main event, but that's 217 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.080 kind of like the unicorn. Um. I really I'm the worst planner. 218 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.039 I don't play anything. I won't even think about it. Oh you're just 219 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.759 tomorrow. Yeah, I just wake up. I look at Poker Atlas, 220 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.440 see what's going on? And whatever I want to play, I'm gonna play 221 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.840 it. And if something's a big buying where I want to sell pieces, 222 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.080 I got a few friends that are always willing to buy, and that's really 223 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.480 what I've always done. M I'm usually gonna try to play a good tournament 224 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.679 with good value, and um yeah, that's pretty much it. There's no 225 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.519 like set limit, like I won't play a buy in over this amount or 226 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.039 anything. Just really depends how I'm feeling and uh what the tournament is. 227 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.200 So am I correct in saying that you're pretty confident in yourself and your game 228 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.200 overalls? Yeah? For sure. I mean I really started with nothing when 229 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.279 I got into poker after college. I maybe had like a few thousand dollars 230 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.559 laughed after paying off whatever I had to pay. Where'd you go to school? 231 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.960 University of Tampa? Okay? Okay? So um, I mean I 232 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.120 started with basically nothing, and if I lost it, I promised my mom 233 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.840 I'll get a job, and I just never lost it. So it's like 234 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.440 a free role, I mean, or it comes to worse, I'm back 235 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.720 to where I started. Yeah, yeah, no, for sure. Did 236 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.519 you graduate from YEAPA? Okay? What was the major sport? Management? 237 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.240 Okay, sweet, I picked it because it had the word sport. Um 238 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:02.320 wasn't a great student or nothing just to get us. I don't use my 239 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.120 degree at all. Um. I have a physics and a math degree, 240 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.519 but I don't really touch that at all. U. Where'd you go? 241 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.559 I went to Elon University in North Carolina, That's right, Yeah, so 242 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.000 I went there. UM. I mean I just I always looking back on 243 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.519 it, I'm like kind of think that it's crazy. They expect, you 244 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.679 know, seventeen eight year old, eighteen year old kids to pick what they 245 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.120 want to do for their whole lives and you're still very much in the feeling 246 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.000 out process. I mean, I think I changed majors like seven times something 247 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.679 ridiculous. But um, but yeah, you know it is what it is. 248 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.519 Um. That would be main event tournament that you cashed in twenty twenty 249 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:37.759 two. Um, I referenced that is that the biggest buying tournament you've ever 250 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:44.000 played? Played the main twice? I played it the first one after COVID 251 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.279 and this previous one, and I played the five Diamond two years ago. 252 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:53.440 I believe got it. So those three ten k's didn't play the the WPT 253 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.440 one last year the one in December. No, Um, there was a 254 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.200 serious going on for sure. Yeah. Well, I was living in Tampa 255 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.480 data series at the same time. I wanted like a home title and definitely 256 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:08.319 wish I came. I got rocked over there. No, my friends were 257 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.079 out here, but yeah, I didn't play it well. Now that you're 258 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.640 you know, you're a Vegas resident, you definitely gotta I gotta stick around 259 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:22.680 for that for sure. Yep. Um, so I guess I mean I 260 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.200 mentioned the haters earlier. Um, you know there's been some people on social 261 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.079 media, mostly obviously you know that's where the pitchforks always tend to come out. 262 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.759 Um, who are I guess the general sense to be like, yeah, 263 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.599 but he's only went in two hundred all daily tournaments or slash Knightly tournaments, 264 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.880 whatever you want to call them. Um, I mean, as I 265 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.599 said, I know, these tournaments are pretty tough. Um. Also, 266 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.559 there's not a whole ton of stuff going on in May right now. You 267 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.480 know, it's kind of like that that calm before the dup storm. Everywhere. 268 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.079 You know, there is some stuff at Venetian, there's obviously these dailies 269 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.200 at the wind there's some few series here and there, but nothing really like 270 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.000 big and booming. Um, I mean, what do you What do you 271 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.599 got to say to the haters? I mean, honestly, I really don't 272 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.240 mind it. I swear like it doesn't bother me. I've talked to some 273 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.920 people saying, like to block these guys. It really like the fuel you 274 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.319 in a way, like it's honestly motivation and sometimes like I get good laughs. 275 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.799 It really doesn't bother me. I really only care what people close to 276 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:25.680 me think. I mean some random person on Twitter saying that I'm buying into 277 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:33.160 these things ten times and I'm still losing money or something like just there was 278 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.799 one tournament I went nuts in and I've definitely heard about that one a lot. 279 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.079 But these people are acting like this is every tournament, which is not 280 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.720 the case. Of course, I don't mind rebuying, especially if I feel 281 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.440 like I got an edge, like I'll take some spots and if it goes 282 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.440 south, I'll try again. But um, I am not like that. 283 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.279 Uh. In terms of your playing style, I mean, how would you 284 00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:00.720 describe yourself? Um? I think I definitely play super different at different points 285 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.519 in the tournament. UM. I mean usually early, I'm not gonna force 286 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.519 nothing, crazy early. I mean, if I'm pretty card that I'll sit 287 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.160 there and fold like I really don't mind at all. And then there's other 288 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.680 points where, of course I'm gonna try to put pressure on people and try 289 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.119 to accumulate as many chips as I can. I don't think I have like 290 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:23.240 a set style where like I'm always foot on the gas or something. I 291 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.839 just try to let it come to me. Yeah. I know you referenced, 292 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.000 uh, you know, graduating college, you know, telling your mom 293 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.119 I'm going to give this a shot. So you're obviously very confident then, 294 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.799 as as you still seem to be remained very confident now. But was there 295 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.400 ever a point throughout this process where you're like, you know what, maybe 296 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:45.599 this isn't for me. Never that it wasn't for me, but I think 297 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.359 maybe maybe it might not be that, because I think a lot of people 298 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:49.920 have that, a lot of poker players always kind of have that in their 299 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.799 mind. But maybe it's like, maybe this won't just work out, is 300 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.799 a better way to phrase that. Yeah, um, because obviously there's a 301 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.599 lot of variants in this game. Yeah, especially in tournaments. Oh, 302 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.960 for sure, I'd say that Hollywood win in January. I think let's say 303 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:11.599 November December, like the previous months, I'm super into poker, always will 304 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.000 be, always have been. But um I really for the first time started 305 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.400 thinking about, like, you know, should I do something else, as 306 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:23.240 like secondary income, just because I think it was also what I was playing. 307 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:30.680 You know, the dailies in Florida are one eighty. It's super wreck 308 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.119 heavy. The structure is actually great for a daily It honestly might be better 309 00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:38.039 than the wins, but just the people, the vibe, Like, I 310 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.960 don't know, I just wasn't as into it as I had been. I 311 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.519 wasn't every day I wake up super excited to play, and that just like 312 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.359 kind of went away from me for a little. I started playing less, 313 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:55.559 studying more and thinking about potentially getting into something else. But um then I 314 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.599 went down to Hollywood and ripped that one off, and I was back, 315 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.279 and I decided, like, I think I want to try to go to 316 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:07.400 Vegas. Well there you go, and here you are, yep up obviously 317 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.119 right around the corner, just about two weeks away. You're going to be 318 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:11.640 playing a lot. As you said, you know, you kind of just 319 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.519 like to wake up, look at the schedules and and go from there. 320 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.880 I'm assuming you're going to be playing kind of all around town, not just 321 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:19.799 at the Horseshoe for THESP. There's a lot of stuff going on. But 322 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.480 is WIT be gonna be your main focus this summer? Um? Yeah. 323 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.279 The previous two years I've been out for the World Series and I always say 324 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:36.000 going into it, I want to play mostly at now Horseshoe, But always 325 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.559 after that first week, you know, some stuff is ten handed. The 326 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:44.119 dealers really aren't too great, especially comparing it to win in Venetian, I 327 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.839 pretty much just end up playing at those two spots other than like the camp 328 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.279 misses like Milliemaker, the main stuff like that. But this year, especially 329 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:56.799 if I do something with Josh and Daniel, I mean, I would really 330 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.160 love to try to get in a position to potentially win a bracelet and make 331 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.880 a deep run. So same mindset again this year where I want to play 332 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.680 mostly at Horseshoe and I'll also play at the other places. But we'll see, 333 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.039 I've never really thought about winning a bracelet, never really meant anything to 334 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:18.000 me, but now after talking with these guys, I mean I would really 335 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.279 like to do that. Yeah, I mean it's probably obviously talking to those 336 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.880 guys, super successful, super well known players everyone knows Dan Lagroni and Josh 337 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:30.039 r A. Also the fact that you're running really hot right now, you 338 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:30.799 know. I mean, yeah, I know people can hate on you for 339 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.880 saying always just running hottle, it's just in a hunter player tournaments whatever, 340 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.359 But I mean this is kind of the genesis of a lot of runs. 341 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.359 You gotta get hot at some point. I mean it just like it has 342 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.559 to happen for you to go on and be super successful. I don't think 343 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.039 anyone in poker who's had success would say that they, you know, didn't 344 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.440 get hot at some point. So it seems like you're heating up at the 345 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.759 right time. And you know, now that you say that, you haven't 346 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.079 really thought about winning a bracelet or what it might mean to you. Is 347 00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:00.960 it starting to kind of create into your mind a little bit more now that 348 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.319 we're so close to the summer and this run is all kind of coming to 349 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.519 fruition right this time. Yeah, definitely. Um. Josh actually explained this 350 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:12.319 super good. He said, Obviously, the WPT's great means a ton. 351 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.759 My roommate, one of my best friends in the world, Jake varaw won 352 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.640 WPT Player of the Year two shakes though. He yeah, he's he's a 353 00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:26.440 good player. He's played in the studio. Bitum so he he was on 354 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:32.079 my left in the WPT Prime Tournament at the win last year. I've never 355 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:37.240 seen someone play a fifteen to twenty big blind stack as aggressively and as well 356 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.440 as that guy played. It was after it it was I mean, I 357 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.440 was just his direct right, so it was torture for me. But I 358 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.640 was also kind of in awe, just like sitting back and being like, 359 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.440 this is on you know, next thing. You know, he's got like 360 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.200 sixty big blinds, and I'm just like, I don't even know how this 361 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:49.720 worked out for you, but this is amazing. So anyway, sorry, 362 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:56.400 so um Josh basically explained to me that stuff like that, even a WPT 363 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:03.559 title, winning a win Maine for a half a million whatever, that's amazing. 364 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.759 The money's great, but in a couple of years, nobody's gonna remember 365 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.359 who won these things. Where a bracelet, I mean, people know who 366 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.880 have won bracelets since it began, and that's something nobody can ever take away 367 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:21.079 from you. And it's like you're cementing a piece of yourself into the history 368 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.960 of poker by doing that, So I would definitely love to try to do 369 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.279 that. Is it straight no limit holding for you or do you dabble on 370 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:33.400 anything else? Yeah? I've played a couple of um plo slash hold them 371 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.680 mixes, but that's really it. I think I fired like a horse tournament 372 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.839 or two, but um, I would think I'm dead money in those super 373 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.200 fun change a pace but I love the no limit Yeah. All right, 374 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.880 Well, I mean that's all I have for you. I appreciate you taking 375 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.559 the time to swing on over here and come on. Hopefully you know the 376 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:57.799 people out there know a little bit more about Jeremy Becker heading into the twenty 377 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:03.319 twenty three and and if anyone happened to miss it, um, just go 378 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.440 on to the wind Poker Twitter page and you'll see Jeremy's face plastered all over 379 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.160 there every other tweet that they have because the guy wins a tournament every single 380 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.559 week. And then that's what spawned Daniel Legron. You're reaching out to explore 381 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:17.839 the backing agreement, So um, I'll be out there at the Horseshoe Slash 382 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.640 Paris all summer. It'll be interesting to see how you do follow along I'm 383 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:23.720 sure we can catch up at some point during that time. Hopefully it's you 384 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.799 know, I'm shaking your hand while you're walking up to a final table. 385 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:29.200 Ideally that would be, you know, kind of what we're rooting for here. 386 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:32.240 But it's good to get I know, I know you've been around for 387 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.359 a couple of years, as I've said, but it's good to you know, 388 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.160 let the people know a little bit more who you are. Get that 389 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.200 out there and then uh, you know, hopefully we'll see you make a 390 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.759 big splash. Awesome, appreciate it. Thank you for having me. All 391 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:48.680 right. That was mister Jeremy Becker. As Daniel Legroni tweeted, he could 392 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.759 be the next, the one, the one. Huh, it's a big 393 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.200 statement. What do you what do you think? What do you think we're 394 00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:00.039 gonna get from Jeremy this summer? I think it's going to be pretty polarized 395 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:06.640 or a bunch of nothing or a lot of success. That's that's my gut 396 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:11.359 feeling. Could you imagine if he wins a bracelet the first week? No, 397 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:12.880 no, no, he needs to win like the gladiators of Polka. 398 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.000 Know what I'm saying. He's saying, But if he just if he just 399 00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:21.119 does something on the or if like he imagine if he like rips off the 400 00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:25.240 million dollar bounty, like that would be like just just cashes but pulls the 401 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:27.519 million dollar bounds. Everyone would hate him for it would be so it would 402 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.799 be great though, It'd be so awesome. Um, it'd be awesome to 403 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.599 have him, you know, come out as you know, a flying start 404 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:38.240 to the twenty twenty three desp um. I mean, you guys heard me 405 00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.400 on the interview there. I asked him what he thought of the haters, 406 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:42.519 the people that are saying, you know, these are only daily tournaments, 407 00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:47.039 these are only hundred player fields, all that sort of stuff. So Jeremy 408 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.000 gets motivated by that stuff. Um, rightfully, So I think a lot 409 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.279 of us would get motivated by that stuff. And um, yeah, I 410 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.359 think it would be fun to see him sort of further silence the haters with 411 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.119 some sort of win. Um. It might also be kind of like in 412 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.680 a weird way funny if he like wins a daily deep stack like in the 413 00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.160 first week, which which are generally like pretty big fields. You know, 414 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.599 they can get eight hundred thousand players and those things you can put two hundred 415 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.839 three hundred bucks and win forty k. Like those are not small tournaments. 416 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.079 But that would just kind of funny that, like he wins all these dailies 417 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.240 leading up to the BISP and then maybe he wins that one. But I 418 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.000 think he's going to have some success on the big stage in some bracelet events. 419 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.480 I don't know exactly if he'll win a bracelet or not. As Tim 420 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.640 kept saying yesterday, the math says no, but we need to put that 421 00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:38.480 on a shirt. The math just the math says no. We need icms 422 00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:44.599 for poor people. We need the mass says no. That's like I think 423 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:48.759 he's gonna he's gonna make a run in something final table, final two tables, 424 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.319 that sort of stuff. The eyes are gonna be on Jeremy Becker. 425 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:56.400 Of course, everything is heightened, Everything is further under a microscope during the 426 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.640 summer, whether it's Poker Grows coverage, whether it's other media it's out there, 427 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.400 whether it's the live reporting coverage on Poker News and WOP dot com, 428 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.039 whatever it is. This is gonna be top of mind for a lot of 429 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.559 people, and we'll see if Jeremy can perform. Um. So, Jeremy 430 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.359 Becker is my first player to watch entering the twenty twenty three WSV. Who 431 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.319 do you got? Where do I stop? Where do you mean? Where 432 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.359 do you start? The top list? No, I didn't have him ranked 433 00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:22.759 in any order. I've kind of got him. I mean I don't have 434 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.880 him ranked in any order either. So just pick the person at the first 435 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.319 up. I'm gonna pick. Okay, this guy is my my PLO player. 436 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.160 Okay, I know you want us to discuss a PLO player. Yeah, 437 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.279 so I gave the one rule that I had, very soft rule for 438 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.480 both Tim and I out of these ten players is we'll pick one one of 439 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.920 the ten will be kind of a polo specific player, and then one of 440 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.039 the ten will be kind of a mixed game specific player. That that said, 441 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:49.119 you could have. You could put ten pilo players on the list if 442 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:55.400 you wanted to, but go ahead. Validation is very important in our industry. 443 00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:59.440 Big wins, big victories, and the and the biggest victory is a 444 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:04.079 ws bracelet. This guy doesn't have one, but he has three PGT PLO 445 00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:11.640 victories. This is the same person that I have Guerrero. He crushed the 446 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.880 PLO series. Lataro, the PLO God as I call him. That is 447 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.440 his nickname. It will forever be his nickname. He is also my PLO 448 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.559 player. So you and I are in lockstep with us one point four million 449 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.200 and winning. He's got ten WSP cashes, a couple of none limen hold 450 00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:29.279 him cashes there, and he's set. He's primed. He's ready for a 451 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.000 big WSP. I think he's we have to watch him because he will break 452 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:38.400 through and win his first WSP bracelet. I mean, if the PGT PLO 453 00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:44.920 series has shed any sort of light on what we can expect from Lataro Guerrera, 454 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.519 then yeah, he's gonna win his Bracelet'll probably win three. You spoke 455 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:53.160 with him after he had some success. I can't remember when exactly you spoke, 456 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:57.119 maybe at the end, but he said he was already booked for the 457 00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:02.119 something like he's ready to go. So there's a lot of polo stuff on 458 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:04.839 the schedule this summer, pretty much, everything from do they go below a 459 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:08.480 thousand? Do they have a there is a Yeah, there's like a six 460 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.240 hundred PLO deep stuck out there. You go. So, I mean he's 461 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.880 probably gonna be blasting everything polo related and then they have up to what fifty 462 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:22.160 k? Yeah, he's gonna be in all this sort of stuff. Um, 463 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.000 you all you see a time and time again, you see the best 464 00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:29.680 polo players in the world come out, they compete in the plo events at 465 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:34.720 the World Series of Poker, and generally they do extremely well. Right you 466 00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:38.119 know we've seen it with Alan Lee over the years, Uh, Tommy Lee, 467 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.079 all that sort of stuff. Josh Rier has done it many years. 468 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.240 Like you always see these polo players do extremely well. Um, the Finnish 469 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:51.440 guys are always crushers at the World Series of Poker. So I think Latar 470 00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.799 Guerrera is going to be crushing. He might even dabble in some other stuff. 471 00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.319 I mean, he's gonna be down. He does play and every one, 472 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.319 I would say everyone, it has to be just about one hundred percent 473 00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.640 of people started in poker these days playing hold, right, So it's not 474 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:10.799 like he doesn't know how to play hold. Yeah, Like, so he'll 475 00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:15.440 probably figure it out. He also, he quote to me when I interviewed 476 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.880 him, was like, you know, I asked him about he's switched from 477 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.039 the limit to polo and he goes plos is more fun. Yeah, So 478 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.680 I'm thinking we're gonna see some uh, we're gonna see some runs for mister 479 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.319 gros So. He's on my list as well. Um So now that I 480 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.160 ratted off too, basically, you gotta go again. This is gonna be 481 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:40.119 a controversial one, a lot of mine, very very controversial. Controversial. 482 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.200 I don't even know what that means. You'll see as we get through my 483 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.079 list, you're gonna you're gonna hate me more and more. But this one, 484 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.599 this is gonna be my mixed game player one only because I really struggled 485 00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:53.480 to find a good one for this and the reason he's on my list. 486 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.519 I think he's he's leash at home has lengthened. It's gonna be more freedom. 487 00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:05.680 He's back in shape, he's got a new haircut. His name's Jason 488 00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:09.759 Mercier, twenty million in Willis. I like it. I want to raffle 489 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.680 off. His most recent results World Series last year, I think he played 490 00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:15.759 two or three events. He took six in the in the fifty KPL, 491 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:22.799 He's fifteenth in the RAS Championship. Then twenty twenty three comes, he flies 492 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:27.319 down Super Bowl weekend to PGTAM Mix Game Series, wins the ten Game Championship, 493 00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:31.000 flies back a month later, takes thirteenth in the mix PLO and I 494 00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:37.359 think he nearly bubbled the twenty five KUM. I think he's gonna have a 495 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:42.680 big summer with him. I mean, it's it's a volume thing. Um. 496 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.720 Just don't know how much he's gonna be out there playing. We had 497 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.960 him on the Polger Girl podcast last year. He seemed to think that it 498 00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:54.079 was still a couple of years away of him being out here playing a full 499 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:59.759 WSOP schedule. That said, as you pointed out, he has been playing 500 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:04.279 a lot more this year. He has that new haircut, looks like he's 501 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.119 slimmed down a bit. He's ready to go. Ready, get back out 502 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:10.279 there on the battlefield. It's gonna be hooping every used to. I mean, 503 00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:15.240 to be honest, Jason Mercier is the type of player who I don't 504 00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:21.039 think needs. He doesn't need Shaun Deep type volume to put up a successful 505 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:23.319 result at the World Series of Poker. We saw it last year in the 506 00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:28.119 fifty kph. Just comes out plays that sixth place, you know, two 507 00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.880 hundred can the bank let's go? So yeah, if he comes, if 508 00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:36.319 he plays a week's worth of events, ten events, I don't know, 509 00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.480 we're probably gonna see something from Jason Mercier, so I like that pick as 510 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.440 well. Um, not on my list, but I like to pick. 511 00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:49.039 I'm gonna go with somebody kind of in the same vein as Jeremy Becker when 512 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:52.880 it comes to being in top of everyone's mind right now, and that's Ben 513 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:58.720 Wang who has been annihilating, Yes, the WPT. He is the chip 514 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.200 leader WPT Chalk Off Final Table, which has taking place this week over at 515 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:06.319 the Hyperex Studio or hyperex Arena, whatever it's called these days at lux Or. 516 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.360 He's also the final Table chip leader heading into the WPT Seminal event that's 517 00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:16.239 also going to take place at the Hyperex Arena down the street from us. 518 00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:19.920 Maybe we'll pop in there. Maybe we won't, depend on how busy we 519 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.800 are here. But according to some sources out there that I've been talking to, 520 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.800 he's also planning on plane a full schedule at the World Seris Poker, 521 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:34.280 so blasting everything. He's already had massive success earlier this year when he won 522 00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:38.159 the return at the Borgata for a million dollars. So Bin Wang, you 523 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:44.880 know, could pretty much solidify himself in the poker history books if he goes 524 00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.840 on to win both these WPT events this week that he's in. I haven't 525 00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:52.159 checked WPT Gardens today to see if he's like still in the mix for that 526 00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:55.719 one, but yeah, WPT Gardens kicked off as well. That final table 527 00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.559 is also going to take place here in Las Vegas. But w PT Gardens 528 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.480 out in southern California think they had about a one point seven million dollars prize 529 00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:07.480 pool for that five K event UM three hundred or four hundred entries in that 530 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:09.679 one. I don't know if ben Wing is still in that one. He's 531 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.679 not all right, Tim says he's not, So he's not, um, 532 00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:16.400 but he's still got these two final tables. He's one out of six in 533 00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:20.599 both of them, so we'll see how he does overall. So that is 534 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.119 another player that that I think is at the top of the top of my 535 00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:27.239 list, um or on my list at least, and I think she should 536 00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:31.199 be on yours as well. All Right, you're up next. This guy. 537 00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:36.039 He's on out list, he's on yours of mine, he's on anyone 538 00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.920 that's in the inner circle of of high roller events. He's on my list. 539 00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:45.239 How do you know? I mean, he's you know that doesn't even 540 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:51.920 that's not he might actually be. I don't think the greater pok industry might 541 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:55.239 know of this guy, but I'm pretty sure he's all in on twenties this 542 00:35:55.320 --> 00:36:00.880 year. Okay, so far in twenty twenty three, he's already three x. 543 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.559 He's twenty two winnings, which included a twenty third place in the WSP 544 00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:08.719 main event. So far in twenty twenty three. Sorry, that was twenty 545 00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:12.440 twenty two man event. So far in twenty twenty three, seven tried in 546 00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.159 cashes, three PGT cashes. He's got over three point four million in winnings. 547 00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:22.360 Brian Kim, He's on my list. He is on my list. 548 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:27.960 There you go. Um, Brian Kim a friend of mine. Former I 549 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.519 mean former. I guess it's probably not the right word, but I was 550 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.679 gonna say former high stakes cash keep plays. He's former. Yeah, but 551 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:39.599 but after games earlier this year, I know that he was. UM's in 552 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.280 some parts of the world grinding only cash games, high stakes, very very 553 00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:46.280 high stakes, UM, because that's what he does. He plays poker, 554 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:52.360 and he plays the highest stakes. Um. He did pretty well over in 555 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.159 cipers. As you said, I'm I'm expecting big things from him. Yeah, 556 00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.559 Overall, he's on my list as somebody to watch for. That super 557 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:05.239 deep run in the Man event last year, ultimately fell short because he was 558 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.199 the chip leader like day six or day seven, I forget what it was, 559 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.119 um, and then ended up busting out what place? Yeah, twenty 560 00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:16.559 third, I mean, in in and of itself, incredible result to finish 561 00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:20.800 twenty three and the WSPMA event. That's that when you get to that point 562 00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.840 and you're the chip leader, it's you probably feel bad finishing twenty three, 563 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:28.079 you know, it kind of sucks. But um, I'm expecting big things 564 00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:30.199 from him overall. He is a bracelet winner one one online, he won 565 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:36.599 a five K high roller online. UM, so I expect him to make 566 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.159 some waves, um, some big waves this summer. So I'm really looking 567 00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:43.280 forward to to what we're seeing out of out of Brian Kim, who's no 568 00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:46.119 longer you know, just that that quiet you know, cash game grinder. 569 00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:50.639 He's certainly very much out there taking the shots in the tournaments. He played 570 00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:52.559 the lux On Invitational, Yeah, like he was. He's he's out there 571 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.079 blasting the biggest thing. So so yeah, I think we're gonna see a 572 00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:00.480 lot of big things from him this summer as well. All right, I'll 573 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:07.119 go now another guy who's had some success I would say mostly around Las Vegas 574 00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:08.800 at least that's where I think everyone kind of got word of this guy. 575 00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:14.639 Um wpt dot com wrote about him. He was crushing over at the Win 576 00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:20.400 just like Jeremy Becker was. That is Georgie Schulukia. I think I said 577 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:24.440 his last name rights UM. So Georgie out of nowhere just starts popping up. 578 00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:30.920 He was like the Jeremy Becker just starts crushing all this sort of stuff 579 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:35.320 over at the Win. UM. And so he had. He had a 580 00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:40.280 win in December at the Win which was in the tag team bomb pot like 581 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:45.000 the final event. He wins that with his partner UM. Then he goes 582 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.440 on to win a three thousand dollars event at the Win as part of the 583 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:54.559 Win Millions poker series that was in March. Then he wins two Venetian tournaments 584 00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:59.760 UM as part of the Venetian Deep Stack Showdown also in March. UM so 585 00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:02.280 that three K win tournament that he won one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars. 586 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:05.840 Then he wins the Venetian Tournament eighty thousand dollars. Then he wins the 587 00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.280 next Venetian tournament thirty one thousand dollars. Then he wins a win Daily for 588 00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:15.199 five thousand dollars. Then he wins another win tournament Alevenlo event twenty six k. 589 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:17.960 Like this is all this year, this is all in the last two 590 00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:23.079 months. He's on fire as well. I'm expecting big things from Georgie. 591 00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.480 Yeah, that's what I'm That's what I'm expecting. Yes, you just all 592 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:32.119 chalk stufire today. I mean, I'm trying to let the people outlet listen. 593 00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:36.960 You and I are in the circle. We are in the poker circle. 594 00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.519 We are in the trenches. We see this stuff every single day. 595 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:44.880 Okay, you tune into the World Series of Poker once a year. You're 596 00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:47.159 a casual fan. You know who are kind of like the new kids on 597 00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:50.599 the block. These are the guys that I think you know, should be 598 00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:54.159 on your radar coming And everyone knows about Helmuthan mc grand new Ivy, all 599 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:58.320 these goods, right, Okay, great, of course they are. You 600 00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.920 know anyway, Jason Lake is a good one. Like he was somebody who 601 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.480 was certainly on everyone's list, top of everyone's mind all the time. Jason 602 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.840 Mercy I'm talking about but became a dad. He stayed at home, didn't 603 00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:15.679 play too much poker. But it sounds like he might be back. It 604 00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:19.039 looks like he might be back. So if if Jason was somebody that you 605 00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.840 kind of like forgot about or wonder where he went, get ready because he 606 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:24.599 might be coming. So all right, so I got, I got Jeremy 607 00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:30.239 Becker, Bin Wang, Georgie Shlukia. I'm probably saying that way wrong, 608 00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:35.599 Latar Guerrera as well. You have Brian Kim and Brian Kim as well. 609 00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:38.039 Who who do you have so far? Brian came Jason Mercy of Latara. 610 00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:43.039 Yeah, I've listed five because two of mine were the same as yea yeah, 611 00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:45.039 um, so give your next one, he said, A new kid 612 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.320 on the block. This is the opinionome of a new kid on the block. 613 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.159 Total live innings nineteen hundred dollars. Jesus, how did you find this 614 00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:58.840 person? This person is also a female. Okay, it's gotta you know, 615 00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:04.039 We've gotta branch Chatty here a little. You may know her from her 616 00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.199 appearance on Hustling Casine Her Life. I'm Pokenardi in America, and I'm talking 617 00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:14.480 about Haley Hannah David peters oh current girlfriend, although she complained that he hasn't 618 00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:20.199 popped the question yet. She won thirty thousand dollars on Hustling, another thirty 619 00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:22.960 thousand on Poknai in America. She doesn't have her She quit her job at 620 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:29.440 Aria where we know her from. She's listed on poker Steak. I think 621 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:32.000 she's gonna be firing this world series. And what makes it better? You 622 00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:36.960 have a boosted bankroll and you have David Peters in your corner. I think 623 00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.760 that's enough for her to make make some splashes during the WSAP this year. 624 00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:43.559 Okay, okay, I like it. I like it. That'll be a 625 00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.320 that'll be a fun one. If Haley does make a run, you'll hear 626 00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:51.519 about it. We're gonna hear it. It's gonna be Hella entertaining on any 627 00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.719 of the live streams, that's for sure. So I'm very much looking forward 628 00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:55.880 to that one. Go again, so you can catch up to me. 629 00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:04.599 All right, this is following my Mcbrian Kimpick, and I'm going with Chris 630 00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.639 Brewer, who you mentioned. Now let me let me break this down. 631 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.800 He's got nine point seven million winnings, so far twenty twenty three, he's 632 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.880 got six trying cashes, he's got five PGT cashes. But where I think 633 00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:21.760 we supposedly this guy Chris Brewer got a job last year. Doesn't look like 634 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:24.639 he's working too many hours because in twenty twenty one he won three million dollars 635 00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:29.280 twenty twenty twenty one two point nine. This year, already five months in, 636 00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:31.599 he's won with three point three million dollars. So unless he's got some 637 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.840 good PTO time, it seems like he is blasting. He's firing, and 638 00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.199 most importantly, he's running good, and I think he might come through follow 639 00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:45.960 your prediction yesterday and win his first OBSP bracelet. There you go, I 640 00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:52.880 like it. I'm gonna go with a German player. Robert Hidorn oh Okay, 641 00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:57.320 having a crazy year so far, doing extremely well. Had a million 642 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.559 dollars score that we talked about the other day on the podcasts when we were 643 00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:06.719 recapping some of the Triton Poker Series Cyprus events. He also had a sixth 644 00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.679 place finish at Triton for two hundred and eleven k. I know previously he 645 00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.840 had a deep run on the wait main events, but he has had ws 646 00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:16.400 B success in terms of some deep runs and some cases, but not like 647 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:22.840 fully on everyone's radar just yet. So Robert Heidorn could be that next man 648 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:24.719 up in terms of like the German players. You know, everyone is always 649 00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:28.840 looking at the German players, you know, being like they just kind of 650 00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:30.199 churn out these poker players a year after year. It's a new one that 651 00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:35.360 just comes up and just starts crushing. Robert Heidorn could be that person. 652 00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:40.599 Just just the fact that I saw him in Triton blasting the higher buying tournaments 653 00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:44.800 and having some success in them, that's like, okay, he's ready, 654 00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.920 Like he's ready to go. So I'm looking at Robert Heidorn German player. 655 00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:53.840 I believe he resides in England and plays out or came from Berlin, Germany. 656 00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:58.519 So I'm looking for Robert Heidorn. Took two very well this summer, 657 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:06.159 go again twenty twenty two. This player won three hundred thousand dollars in twenty 658 00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:09.199 eighteen. His next best year just twenty nine K. This year is so 659 00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:15.039 far twenty twenty thirty five months in he's won one point one million dollars for 660 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:17.719 a total of nearly one point six He's got four PGT cashes this year, 661 00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:21.719 he's got a first, a second, a third, or fourth or fourth 662 00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:24.440 or fifth, and he's cashed in Florida, the Bahamas, Vegas, Texas, 663 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:35.760 California. Aum Oh. He's playing everything, is playing all the buyings 664 00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:39.519 at all different levels. Twenty five k's one k's literally everything. I think 665 00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:46.079 he's going to carry that through the WSAPU and probably just keep crushing. That's 666 00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:51.280 a good one. I like it. I'm going to go with my guy 667 00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:57.079 from last year, Ryan Brown. Remember Ryan Brown. I played with him 668 00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:00.000 in the Diversity main event. I was extremely imp rest with how well he 669 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.239 played. I've played with him since then in some tournaments. At the win 670 00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.480 I saw that he had a win for one hundred and forty eight thousand dollars 671 00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:15.800 in March down at the twenty twenty three Tampa Poker Classic, he won the 672 00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:22.480 seventeen hundred dollars championship event. So I'm looking for big things from Ryan Brown. 673 00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:24.800 You could walk through a field, you would have no idea. He's 674 00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:30.559 just very unassuming, very unsuspecting, just a normal looking guy, very normal 675 00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:35.239 name. I was extremely impressed with playing with this player. I think he's 676 00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:38.800 in line for some big stuff this summer. Ryan Brown out of Maryland, 677 00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:45.800 Out of Maryland, go ahead, No, I'm just concept laughing that you 678 00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.679 want to Ryan Brown from when I saw it, When I saw like he 679 00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:51.960 got that win, I was like, oh, here we go. He's 680 00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:53.559 his bank roll is going to be flashed, like yeah, he's playing. 681 00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:59.559 Well, let's get it done putting him on the list. So my next 682 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:05.400 player, he's only got twenty thousand in live winnings, you're digging deep nineteen 683 00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:10.920 hundred and earnings twenty thousand and earnings because he's not gonna like my last two 684 00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:15.320 picks. But anyway, twenty thousand live winnings. But in twenty twenty three, 685 00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:21.719 he has won five WSP Circuit online rings five twenty twenty three. It's 686 00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:23.719 may. He's also got a second, a second, a third, or 687 00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:30.079 fifth or six and a seven, yes five, Michael Sata. You might 688 00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:36.079 have seen him blasted all over Poker Steak. He's guid events listed from like 689 00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:40.079 fifteen three K. The guys, if you've won five rings in five months, 690 00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:43.960 it feels like you're in pretty good form. And if he's going to 691 00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:45.800 be here for the World Series, he's going to carry that through. He's 692 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.519 probably gonna play all the online events. He's gonna play all these you know, 693 00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:52.039 lower three K below buyings. I assume he's going to play, you 694 00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.239 know, all the eight hundred deep stacks. One k's all on his own 695 00:46:55.320 --> 00:47:00.559 dime, and I'm just betting on the form. That's really what I'm doing. 696 00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:04.360 Okay, I don't hate it. I'll stick in the same vein of 697 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:09.480 people that I see plastered all over poker Steak. I got Cherish Andrews good 698 00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:15.679 one yes, absolutely closed out twenty twenty two with a banger year, has 699 00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:20.880 kicked off twenty twenty three winning, She's at every final table, all this 700 00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:22.920 sort of stuff. I was looking at poker Steak the other day. I 701 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:27.360 feel like she has three events listed. I don't even know if that's possible, 702 00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:30.039 but I feel like she does. Okay, pretty sure she's still dating 703 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:35.039 Brock Wilson. That's a great person to have in your camp in terms of 704 00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:37.559 somebody to go home, bounce, hands off, of talk strategy, all 705 00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:43.119 that sort of stuff. Cherish Andrews is absolutely on fire right now. I 706 00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:47.320 know she might not be the most unknown name. She has been around the 707 00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:51.960 poker world for quite some time. She has had some success, But I 708 00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.199 really think this is the year that she like really vaults kind of to the 709 00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:59.119 top of the list, top of everyone's mind. She's in some headlines, 710 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:01.559 you know, winning stuff, final tables, all that sort of stuff. 711 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.639 It doesn't with her. I would say it might not all be at the 712 00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:10.000 World Series of Poker. She might do some things elsewhere. She doesn't play 713 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:13.400 a lot at the Win She plays a lot some of these other venues around 714 00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:16.039 town, so we might see her make some big splashes there. But I 715 00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:21.360 still think World Series of Poker twenty twenty three Cherish Andrews is certainly going to 716 00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:28.719 leave her stamp on the series. My next playoff. I think maybe three 717 00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:31.360 and a half people in the poker industry could could name this playoff if they 718 00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:35.480 saw him, and I don't think I'm even one of them. Sorry, 719 00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:40.559 but I always see him in the twenty five K Heads Up Championship and last 720 00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:45.960 series has seven cashes. He's also got seven events. Listen on Pokerstake. 721 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:52.320 We need to be sponsored by Poker Stake. Joshua Hans Okay, Okay, 722 00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.719 I'm just gonna I'm Betty could not pick this person out of the lineup one 723 00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:00.280 hundred percent if you saw him, he'd probably mean maybe, but I think 724 00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:02.360 this guy, but yes, seven cashes last, yet he's always playing the 725 00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:07.599 Heads Up Championship. I think he's Heads Up Championship is listed in his poker 726 00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:12.119 Steake Wow along with six other events. And I'm just I'm just, you 727 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:14.679 know, throwing a dot at the board here, I'm thinking, hey, 728 00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:19.480 maybe this is his year breakthrough and seeing this guy. Yeah, of course, 729 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:22.599 but you probably couldn't name who he was. Yeah, no, no 730 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:25.000 shot, exactly, definitely no shot. Um, all right, I'm gonna 731 00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.800 go. I'm gonna give my mixed game player. Um, I have Tyler. 732 00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:34.199 Will see Tyler plays. I think he plays a lot around town. 733 00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:37.159 I played with him in a couple of events. Thought he played extremely well. 734 00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:44.280 Um he has. I think he won a tournament in December at the 735 00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:47.159 Win. Yeah, he won the one K or the eleven hundred All Horse 736 00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:52.800 Championship that was a part of the WPT World Championship. Um, I know 737 00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:55.800 he's had some success in hold the events he had. I think it was 738 00:49:55.880 --> 00:50:00.480 the sixteen hundred all Win Mystery Boundary tournament and he finished, uh I want 739 00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:04.840 to say it like third, yeah, third for seventy five K in that 740 00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.880 one. So but mixed game player. I think he plays the game as 741 00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:12.760 well. You know, has a lot of results from mixed game events. 742 00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.599 So I'm gonna go with Tyler will See, I mean, on his head, 743 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:20.119 him off. He has a poker grow photo. So I know you're 744 00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:22.239 like, who's this guy? Who you submitted that photo? So, you 745 00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:25.480 know, Beautiful, you had to you had to at least, you know, 746 00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:29.519 recognize him at some point. I think that might have been from a 747 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:34.039 deep WSOP run, okay, that you might have submitted that photo from. 748 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:37.920 But Tyler Wilse is my mixed game player. Is this your last one? 749 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:39.400 Coming up? Two more? Okay? Two more? How many do you 750 00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:44.719 have? I have one more? Okay. Now I want to just prove 751 00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:49.039 faith just I want to just put this out there. This topic was players 752 00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:53.960 to watch at the twenty twenty three WSP Okay the person I'm gonna nominate as 753 00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:59.000 my penultimate pick. Last year of the WSP, it was a day off. 754 00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:00.440 It was after the main event finished. I went to watch a movie. 755 00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:05.599 We weren't coming into work. There was nothing on, and he was 756 00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:07.440 making a deep run. I was like, well, I gotta go. 757 00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:12.519 You know, he was like Final twelve, Final eight, came in just 758 00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:17.320 in case he broke through. He he unfortunately finished in third place in a 759 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:24.639 vent eighty seven Eric sidell okay, And the reason I think he's a player 760 00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:29.559 to watch is he is stuck on nine braces, nearly won his tenth. 761 00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:32.800 Last year. He won his nine kind of similar to daniel Le Grandnew in 762 00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:36.840 the fact that he got to a point and then plateau. So he won 763 00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.119 his ninth last year, sorry, in twenty twenty one online. Before that 764 00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:44.159 it was two thousand and seven. So he is right on the cusp of 765 00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:49.440 joining Doyle Johnny champhil Ivey in helmet with at least ten bracelets. And I 766 00:51:49.559 --> 00:51:54.920 think that's an incredibly cool milestone for a professional poker. Players such as Eric 767 00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:00.440 Sidelta hit and we nearly had it last year. But I'm watching Hope feeing 768 00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:04.800 that this year he will win number ten. That's a good pick, you 769 00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:09.280 know, especially with the fact that he's so close to winning that that monumental 770 00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:14.400 tenth basically go braces, So I like it. I'll give my last one. 771 00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:19.280 This one can probably fall into the controversial category as you would name it. 772 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:23.280 I'm going with Cole Ferraroka. He has won a bracelet Ye also has 773 00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:27.440 a second place finish at the BIT. I think both of those finishes came 774 00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:31.000 the last year that the Dibisity was at the Rio. But I still think 775 00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:36.360 Cole Ferraro is still pretty much under the radar, one of the younger kids 776 00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:38.360 in the game that's coming up. You don't see too many young kids these 777 00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:40.920 days that are, you know, kind of coming up through the ranks. 778 00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:45.519 Believe Jason Somerville took him under his wing, brought him along. One of 779 00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:50.119 the things I like just kind of happened in recent weeks. If you follow 780 00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:54.159 Cole Ferraro on social media, he's been doing a lot more content. I 781 00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:58.280 think he's been trying to like play it every single poker room in Las Vegas. 782 00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:00.519 So I like the content side of things, you know, him getting 783 00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:05.280 out there being a new content creator in that streets, coupled with the fact 784 00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:07.559 that he's a very good player. I played with them a lot. I 785 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:10.639 think he's gonna make some noise. And yes, I know he has a 786 00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:15.079 bracelet. Yes I know he has another second place finish at the World Series 787 00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:17.880 of Poker previously, But I still don't think that he's somebody that's known to 788 00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:22.320 more of a casual poker fan, but I think that he should become a 789 00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.519 name that you should get accustomed to knowing, because I think we're going to 790 00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:30.679 see a lot from him starting this year going forward. He is so young, 791 00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:32.360 he is eager, he is ready to go. And then also the 792 00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:36.880 content side of things, it's fun to fall along these guys who are letting 793 00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:39.800 us look into their lives as poker players, to fall along the grind with 794 00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:44.880 them. Obviously, Dangrony is amazing at that he has his daily vlogs that 795 00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:46.480 are kicking off soon, Like, can't wait to see all that sort of 796 00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:50.519 stuff. But these other guys as well that are giving you a peek into 797 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:52.760 the industry and then playing every single day, I think that that's great. 798 00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:57.960 So Cole Ferraro is on my list. He is my last one, my 799 00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:01.320 final one. Again, I'm taking artistic license to your topic of players to 800 00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:07.159 watch. Go ahead, I'm picking three players. Oh Jesus, that's quite 801 00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:13.679 the artistic license. And they're all stuck on six WSP bracelets, okay. 802 00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:17.920 And the reason I think their players to watch is because the names that have 803 00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:22.679 seven bracelets, it's it's a very exclusive category. And I think this is 804 00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:25.960 like the first you know, you know, first big jump to get to 805 00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:30.079 seven. John Hennigan last one, he won his last brace in twenty nine. 806 00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:32.320 Is he going to play? I think you'll play a couple events. 807 00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:36.920 Yeah, yeah, okay, uh, you know what if you want to 808 00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:38.119 include, if you want to make it four, we can include Jeff Losandro. 809 00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:42.400 My boy, is he going to play? Let's put him in there. 810 00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:45.480 So let's make it four. Jeff Lesander he last want a bracelet um 811 00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:51.039 twenty fourteen, Asia Pacific, John Henigan twenty nineteen, Brian Hastings back to 812 00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:53.239 back bracelets twenty one twenty two to get to number six, and then of 813 00:54:53.320 --> 00:55:00.880 course Daniel o'grino last WSP bracelet twenty thirteen in Europe. This is for sure 814 00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:05.960 all crazy artistic license, yes, of course, but I think it's something 815 00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:08.840 to watch. Who will be the next player to take that step up get 816 00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:13.599 to seven? You know, separate themselves from this pack. There's obviously other 817 00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:16.639 people here that are still are still able to play, whether or not we 818 00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:22.000 see them. Chris Jesus Ferguson, Ted forrest Um, a couple of others. 819 00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:27.039 But I think these three and a half names are the most likely people 820 00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:30.039 who's the half Los Angeles. We'll give under half because soon knows he might 821 00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:34.119 not come. Jeff, if you're listening, you're only a half a half 822 00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.159 in Tim's life. No, you're You're not a half. He's gonna take 823 00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:40.159 your head off. He where's that comment? Yeah? I did Annie though, 824 00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:44.000 I always Annie first. Um. But I think that's something cool to 825 00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:46.719 watch, especially mainly the Negriner Hastings battle. You know, Hastings, you 826 00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:51.719 know obviously twenty twenty twenty one kind of come out of nowhere to catch Daniel. 827 00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:54.119 You know, can Daniel get to seven? It's always something to watch. 828 00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:58.719 And I think that along with you know, my previous one of Eric 829 00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:01.599 Scitedell trying to get to ten. I think these bracelet chases a something that 830 00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:06.280 people always are watching. You know, we can always feel homeless name in 831 00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:09.440 there, these hitting these milestones. It's something that people want to watch and 832 00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:14.039 sweat and you're either cheering four or cheering against and it makes a good topic 833 00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:19.360 at the World Series of Poka. I like it. I think we got 834 00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:22.480 yeah, I mean, minus the artistic license ones, minus the fact that 835 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:25.880 you cut Jeffrey Lossandro and half. Jeff that was that was your man, 836 00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:29.960 your your countryman, Tim Duckworth, not Donnie Peters. Just want to put 837 00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:31.559 that out there in case you're looking to take anyone's head off. Um, 838 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:37.639 but I think we put together a nice list of people to you know, 839 00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:43.440 kind of get attached to heading into the twenty twenty three WSP. I think 840 00:56:43.519 --> 00:56:47.960 these players, um have a really high potential of making some waves, making 841 00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:52.119 some splashes or at the end of the summer, you know, we can 842 00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.960 look back and be like, Jeremy Becker did nothing, Bin Wayne did nothing, 843 00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:00.400 Like you know, these guys were super hot coming into the World Series 844 00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:04.559 of Poker, Cherish Andrews super hot all year, did nothing at the World 845 00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:06.639 Series of Poker, So you know we can look back that way and be 846 00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:09.039 like, you know, they didn't come through like we thought they would come 847 00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:14.000 through. That said, you know, these are really hot players right now. 848 00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:15.840 They're running really well, they're playing really well, they're getting results all 849 00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:19.159 yearlong. So these are the players that we're going to kind of keep an 850 00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:22.800 eye on and we'll see how they do. So, yeah, that's gonna 851 00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:27.760 do it for Tim and I on this episode of the podcast. As I've 852 00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:31.280 said many times, this week Daily Shows this week all for the WSOP prep. 853 00:57:31.360 --> 00:57:35.559 We still got twenty five K Fantasy Talk coming up.
