1 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,199 Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast. 2 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,440 My name is Donny Peters. I am joined by Tim Uckworth, Tim Underscore 3 00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:26,719 Underscore Duckworth on X slash Twitter. Now, how you doing, buddy? 4 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,719 You got a new name? I did, I got finally pulled the trigger 5 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,840 by falseful way of you and Matt Savage. But new Twitter name. I 6 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,039 still want to try and buy my actual Twitter name. So I'm gonna send 7 00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:44,320 I'm gonna send this guy a message on LinkedIn, see if you'll take. 8 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,759 I don't know, maybe five hundred bucks that might get it done. I 9 00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:52,240 would start lower, but okay, okay, Well I think he works in 10 00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,039 finance in Hong Kong, so I think the flaw is already raised that five 11 00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:02,079 hundred might mean absolutely nothing to him. Yeah, I mean, who knows. 12 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,840 It's my best and it's my best in final? Well you can come 13 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,959 with the best in final. Maybe we'll start like a go fund me for 14 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,719 our listeners to contribute to the Oh that's a good idea to the Tim Duckworth 15 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,840 to get his X slash Twitter name back. I still don't want to fully 16 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,920 call it x yet. I have to still call it Twitter. But I 17 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,439 refuse to call it X, but listen, I welcome the change because trying 18 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,599 to say tram stop with a zero in there, it's just it doesn't work. 19 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,280 This is still confusing, though. He seems like, yeah, but 20 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,840 I'm already Donnie underscore Peters, I can say, you know, yeah, 21 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,079 we need a like what's the Aussie slang for double underscore? I'm because you 22 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,040 guys like, you know double X blah blah blah, Like you know, 23 00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,840 you have you when you spell things out, you say them a certain way. 24 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,799 Yeah, yeah, I don't have one double On the skull sounds we 25 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,799 would probably say dash dash. Maybe it's not a dash, but that's what 26 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,120 we might say. All right, Well, listen, it's been a minute 27 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:05,079 since we've been on the Poker Girl podcast, but we are recording Friday, 28 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,879 September eighth. A lot of things to talk about. There's been some some 29 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,000 moving and shaken around the industry. I think chief among the headlines is the 30 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,800 WPT World Championship announced. It's guarantee on the prize bool and it is a 31 00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:23,080 whopping forty million dollars. We're gonna talk about that. We got the napt 32 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,680 Is back. It's been forever Poker Stars is bringing it back. They're bringing 33 00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:31,719 it to Las Vegas. We're gonna talk about that EPT Barcelona. Speaking of 34 00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:37,520 Pokers Stars, EPT Barcelona, wrapped up Across the Pond, High Stakes Poker 35 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,840 Season eleven has been running. If you haven't been watching it, it's probably 36 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:47,159 the best season of high stakes poker maybe ever. Definitely of like of the 37 00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:53,120 new age of the modern high stakes poker because it took that break. But 38 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,439 I mean it's up there, and there's a fold from genre bearable on that 39 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,639 happened that is just the most ridiculous fold I've ever seen. And then we're 40 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,800 gonna just hit quickly on Sean Beebe because he posted a bet update. I 41 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,319 don't know, it doesn't seem so good for mister deep as always like and 42 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,759 subscribe to the podcast.

Tim and I heard 81 00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:06,800 from the underground that forty million was the number, at least for me. 82 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,000 I won't speak for Tim, he can speak for himself in a second, 83 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:14,199 but for me it was always like that sounds insane. I'll believe it when 84 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,959 I see it, because you oftentimes you hear a lot of stuff in the 85 00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:23,519 rumor mill going around the industry, you know, and sometimes it comes out, 86 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,839 yes, sometimes it comes out different, very much different than what was 87 00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,360 planned. Hearing forty million was like, Wow, they're really going to go 88 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:34,680 for it this year. Last year it was a fifteen million dollars guaranteed prize 89 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,439 pool on the ten four hundred dollars World Championship. They ultimately got a smidge 90 00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:45,600 over twenty nine million in the prize pool. This year, they're way more 91 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:51,160 than doubling the guarantee. This is just out of control. I'm super surprised, 92 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,879 both pleasantly and kind of like, wow, they really did the damn 93 00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:00,240 thing. So, I mean, what was your kind of initial take on 94 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,079 everything? My initial take was damn, that is a big number, and 95 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:13,000 it's very obvious that it's game on WPT WSOP they're going to war. I 96 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,639 actually wonder if if we wind it back to say, you know, July 97 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:24,879 fifteenth, if WPT were planning on forty or they had a different number, 98 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,639 like you know, twenty five or thirty million, something like, very achievable, 99 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,519 and then with the news of WSP Paradise stepping on their turf of December, 100 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,879 they were like, that's it, let's blow it up, let's go 101 00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:41,079 big, and then they decided to up it. I'd really like to have 102 00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:46,360 been a fly on the wall in California in the WPT officers to see, 103 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,000 you know, to read the room when when that news kind of broke well. 104 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,160 I feel like the WPT probably had a good idea that that w SP 105 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:59,040 was coming with the Bahama stuff. So once they got their idea, I 106 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240 mean, they probably floated around some numbers. I mean, we don't know 107 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:05,600 for sure. One thing that I definitely want to do is get our good 108 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,920 friend Matt Savage, who is the executive tour director of the World Poker Tour, 109 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,839 get him on the podcast in the coming weeks, likely get him on 110 00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:16,439 after Poker Masters wraps up, you know, that's going to kick off towards 111 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:20,480 the end of next week, about a week from today, a little bit 112 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,480 less. But once that all wraps up, maybe we'll get him on the 113 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,839 podcast to talk about the WPT World Championships. Certainly want to get his voice 114 00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:31,959 on here. He is a listener of the podcast, good friend of ours, 115 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:35,240 and somebody very much tapped into the industry, of course, and being 116 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,840 so closely intertwined within the WPT family. It'll just be a good good person 117 00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,080 to have on where we can bounce some questions off of that. He did 118 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,320 do a space did you shooting into that? Not live? But I listened 119 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,240 afterwards, and I have many questions. Okay, I mean I took a 120 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,399 whole bunch of notes, did my research, a bunch of stuff that I 121 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,480 want to, uh, you know, pose to mister Savage if he's willing 122 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,159 to come on, which I'm sure he is. He's already you know, 123 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,440 expressed interest too. But yeah, listen, forty million dollars is bananas. 124 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:11,320 Now, I will say this, it's and this is gonna sound like a 125 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,200 slight. I hope it doesn't sound. I hope it's not like really taken 126 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,320 like that, but like I don't know, I can't always help but think 127 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,080 that, Like, to me, the WSP Main Event is still the biggest 128 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,320 tournament in the world. Like the numbers clearly show that. Now the WPT 129 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,879 World Championship, for whatever reason you want to pin it to, gets way 130 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,120 more love than the basically main event. And like you got you got people 131 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,000 coming out there that are saying, like, you know, WPT set set 132 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,120 the record for the prize pool, which is not correct. They set the 133 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,240 record for largest guarantee, yes, but they didn't set the record for the 134 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:50,639 prize poolt gets eighty ninety million or sorry, WSP gets eighty ninety millions. 135 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:56,080 So like, let's just not get too much of ahead of ourselves. I 136 00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:00,120 love the WPT World Championship. I think it is an incredible event. You 137 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,840 know, outside of the World Series of Poker Main Event, there is nothing 138 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,960 close to this in the poker world. And I can't even think something that's 139 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,559 come even remotely close. Let me ask you one question real quick. Let's 140 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,440 assume they hit forty million. Let's assume they hit We're going to hit him. 141 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,279 Let's assume they hit fifty million. I don't think they'll hit fifty I 142 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,399 mean, I could be wrong. I didn't think they would hit as high 143 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,559 as they did last year. I thought they would hit the guarantee I thought. 144 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,120 I think I thought that they would approach twenty million. When is the 145 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:35,279 last time the WSAP didn't have more than fifty million in the prize fall for 146 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,559 the main event? Yeah? Do you know this number? Yeah? Yeah, 147 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,759 I have, I have the stats. Come on, I mean, 148 00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:50,759 two thousand five or so close. Two thousand and five was fifty two million, 149 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,759 two thousand and four, twenty four. Men, I was gonna say 150 00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,200 one, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so let's just let's, 151 00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:58,679 you know, let's hold the reins. I'm using the word biggest. I 152 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,000 mean I don't think the biggest guarantee. Yes, just as a quick aside, 153 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,840 I don't think the mean events. I mean maybe not ever, but 154 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,080 the chances of them ever going back below fifty million is like the slimmest chance 155 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,480 in the history of poker as far as i'm it's gonna take some sort of 156 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:18,039 catastrophic event. So well, yeah, twenty twenty. It was thirteen, 157 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,519 but that doesn't count. Twenty doesn't count. Yeah, I know, but 158 00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:26,559 yes, I agree, But still like it is a risk guaranteeing a prize 159 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,679 pool like this obscene amount of money that both companies, The Win and obviously 160 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:35,799 WPT are taking on a big chunk of risk because yeah, you just don't 161 00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:39,720 know what might happen. You don't know, you know, it's hard to 162 00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:41,720 predict. Are they really going to hit? What? Do they need? 163 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480 An insane amount of players? Right? Five thousand, you know, a 164 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,639 bit over five thousand players, So I really hope they crush it. Yeah, 165 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,919 I mean, just some some quick notes from listening to that space the 166 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,440 other day, the one that was led by Matt Savage. He had Ryan 167 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,279 Beauregard on Angelica Hall from the WPT side, a bunch of other people. 168 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,720 They mentioned the tables. So last year Ryan Beauregard, who is who runs 169 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,799 He's the director of Poker Operation, that believe is his title at the Win 170 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,840 runs everything at the Win one hundred and seventy two players last year when you 171 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:24,480 included the tables both in the poker room and then right in that space outside. 172 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,039 This year, they're gonna bump it up to two hundred and fifty six 173 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,080 tables. They're gonna have two additional ballrooms that are going to provide you know 174 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,639 about in additional seventy tables, so they're going to have that available. If 175 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:41,120 you've played poker at the Win then you know that. Oftentimes their tournaments take 176 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,159 place in the area right outside the poker poker room. But for the WPT 177 00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:50,080 World Championship, they went and got actual ballroom space kind of on the other 178 00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:54,159 side of the Encore property. Tons of ballroom space. Super nice obviously, 179 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,360 as you would expect from being at the Win, a very luxurious property. 180 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,039 So they're gonna have two additional ballrooms over there, which is pretty wild. 181 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:05,360 I mean, we know how big the ballrooms were that they were in last 182 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,360 year, or at least the main ballroom and then they had some other stuff 183 00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:11,679 going on in the other side rooms, but two additional ballrooms is going to 184 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,360 be pretty well. So two hundred and fifty six tables is what they're planning 185 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,399 for. Satellites there are, so last year they guaranteed a little bit over 186 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,840 three hundred satellites. They ended up with more than five hundred seat winners total, 187 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:28,039 so nice good bump there. This year, the Win is going to 188 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,919 have instead of having six satellites, which is what they had last year, 189 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,559 they're going up to eleven and one is actually like this interesting package satellite where 190 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,360 you kind of go when you win a packet announced how many seats are up 191 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,879 for grabs? Right, Yeah, the schedules out there, like they have 192 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,639 a I think a seventy five seat guarantee on December eleventh. It's all on 193 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:48,360 the schedule, all on I think you can find it if you go to 194 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,399 Winpoker dot com. They have a banner that you can click through and get 195 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,919 there, or you can head it on over to WPT dot com, navigate 196 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,399 to the main tour and you can find it there. But yeah, the 197 00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:03,519 full schedules out so ready to go, Ryan said. Ryan Beauregard said, 198 00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:09,039 if they can hit last year's average in terms of what they awarded from the 199 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,039 satellites that they ran, then they should get about six to seven hundred satellite 200 00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:20,600 entries this year. That's just from the win satellites. That doesn't include Club 201 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,759 WPT. I think Jeremy Lemons was on the call or on those space as 202 00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:30,559 well. He mentioned around a hundred qualifiers from Club WPT between WPT World Championship 203 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,799 and WPT Prime. Don't know exactly what numbers are allotted to each but that's 204 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,600 a good chunk of qualifiers there. You're obviously going to have a ton of 205 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:43,799 qualifiers from WPT Global. You're gonna have various properties around the US that are 206 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,000 going to be working with the WPT For example, I think Gardens out in 207 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,279 LA was mentioned as one of them. You know, they're going to have 208 00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:52,519 a live satellite there that's going to be awarding people. So there's gonna be 209 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,679 I mean, if you're going to get six to seven hundred just from the 210 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,879 wind satellites, it's going to be well over a thousand satellite entries. And 211 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,960 then you know the seventy five set guarantee on December eleventh, that's going to 212 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:05,679 be bananas. So like you know, I mean, the satellites are going 213 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,000 to be there, so they're definitely making the push to ensure that they hit 214 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:15,559 this forty million dollars guarantee. My number, I think is like forty two 215 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,879 million. That's where I'm going to come in at right now. That's my 216 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,320 early estimate on the number. And then just some some nitty gritty details on 217 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:26,679 the tournament itself. So forty million dollars is guaranteed for the price, well, 218 00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:28,799 the buying is ten thousand, four hundred dollars. Of that, ten 219 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:33,600 thousand, four hundred ninety eight hundred goes into the prize pool. Six hundred 220 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,039 dollars is for raking fees and all that other junk that as poker players we 221 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:41,159 don't like so much. December twelfth through twenty first is the event. Four 222 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,919 starting flights, which is one more than last year. Last year they had 223 00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:48,240 three starting flights. This year they're bumping it up to four. It is 224 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,360 one entry per starting day. That is a freeze out per flight, so 225 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,039 the maximum number of entries is four. That means if you play all four, 226 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,000 you're going to be spending forty one six hundred dollars, which is a 227 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,679 heck of a lot of money. We talked about before, I think on 228 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,440 the podcast about day two registration and wondering if that would be a thing. 229 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,440 No, yeah, it's not a thing. No, Day two to registration. 230 00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:18,559 Registration is going to be through six levels on the day ones and then 231 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,039 again, as I mentioned earlier, last year, they had a fifteen million 232 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:25,879 dollars guarantee for this event. They got just over twenty nine million dollars in 233 00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:30,360 the prize. More than four million dollars went to the winner. So I'm 234 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:33,039 thinking this year first place is probably going to be you know, north of 235 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,080 five million, probably pushing six million. I don't know if it'll go any 236 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,559 bigger than that, but we'll see. I know last year they would have 237 00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:45,360 been cool if they also guaranteed first place, like five million for first forty 238 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,639 million prize pool. Yeah, I mean yeah, I don't know if you 239 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,679 necessarily need to do that, just because it's probably baked in. I mean, 240 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,399 it's it might be good. Yeah, that's from a marketing thing, 241 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,559 because I don't think many people might be like, how much is going to 242 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,120 be for place type of thing. Yeah, I know last year that you 243 00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:06,720 know, after they announced the payoffs, they really pushed the fact that everyone 244 00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:10,079 that made the final six was guarantee get a million dollars, which is cool. 245 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,640 I like that the WPT official final table is six handed. So I'm 246 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,279 assuming with a much bigger prize will on offer this year, that's going to 247 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,799 be in play once again. And then I think you touched on this on 248 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:25,960 a recent episode, but we didn't fully have the details at the time, 249 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,720 but so we can hit on them right now. So WSP Paradise is scheduled 250 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:37,400 for December third through fourteenth, and players can swing plane in both events like 251 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,319 basically the main events if if they play the WPT World Championship Day one d 252 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,039 which is on December fifteenth. So even if you go all the way to 253 00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:51,680 the end and win WSUP Paradise, you could probably get on a plane that 254 00:17:51,839 --> 00:17:56,160 next morning super early and get over to Las Vegas and still get in before 255 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,000 the registration deadline. So obviously not everyone is going to make the final table 256 00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:03,400 of the WISP Paradise main events, so there will be plenty of players that 257 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,799 I think can double dip and do both. You can play that WSP Paradise 258 00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:11,640 main event if you want, and then head on over to play the WPT 259 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:17,400 World Championship. The biggest clash that I see was the five million dollars guaranteed 260 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,599 WPT Prime Championship. By the way, this this guarantee went up from I 261 00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:25,640 think it was two million last year, went up to five millions. Yeah, 262 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,759 that's a really big jump there. It did hit five million though in 263 00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:33,119 the prize wild believe last year it did. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, 264 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,319 yeah, crush it. I mean it's I mean, this event was bananas. 265 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,000 So this is the biggest clash that I see because it runs December seventh 266 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,480 through twelfth at WIN Las Vegas, So that's going to be the biggest clash, 267 00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:45,920 you know, I think I think plenty of people if if you want 268 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,559 to play both, you can in terms of the main events, but then 269 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,599 you know you're probably gonna have to miss out on some other stuff elsewhere. 270 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,519 You know, if you go down to Paradise, you're gonna have to miss 271 00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:57,359 this Prime Championship. If you want to stick around and play the Prime Championship, 272 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,319 well then you can't play the WSP Paradise events. So that's going to 273 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,559 be kind of the decision point that some of the I would say the bigger 274 00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:08,200 buying players have to worry about because the Bisuy Paradise does have a lot of 275 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,279 the high roller stuff down there. So we'll see. You know what people 276 00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:18,759 can do. I have one gripe with the WPT go ahead apart apart from 277 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,599 the day to registration. That's fine if you don't want to do that. 278 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,839 I don't have an issue. I guess I could complain about no re entries, 279 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,200 but you know what, I'm okay with that too. I love this 280 00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:33,200 no no on the way that this is structure. No, no, no, 281 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,960 I'm just saying that, like I don't I'm not. I'm not opposed 282 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,880 to a single re entry. But that's fine. You don't want either of 283 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,039 those two things, I'm okay with. I know you announced your dates early, 284 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,119 and these two is, unlike us, are very They're going to stand 285 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,720 behind their dates. Now they added a day one day, great, I 286 00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:57,559 just wish they move their main event it starts on the twelfth, if they 287 00:19:57,599 --> 00:20:02,119 just started on the third. Now, two reasons why. First reason, 288 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,799 you could get more people that play Paradise to fly to Vegas because I'm not 289 00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:11,920 sure I'm not sure on the flight schedule, but I'm not sure how many 290 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:17,759 flights are coming out of the Bahamas on that Friday for Day one D to 291 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:22,559 get from what is a Bahamas Miami Miami Vegas. So just one more day 292 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,759 for travel would be great. But also then you can have one D on 293 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:32,279 Saturday. And now I know both you and me love a weekend flight to 294 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,680 get the weekend Warriors. But also what the third thing we have to consider 295 00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:44,920 is school holidays. Last day of school for most people is Friday, right, 296 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,200 that's Day one D. Now, if you're a teacher. If you're 297 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,920 a parent like you and me, if you had day one D on Saturday 298 00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:56,480 when the kids an now and winter break, I think that just moving that 299 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,480 World Championship one day later. I know you have to be flexible. I 300 00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:07,160 think it could have locked in hitting the forty million because I'm I'm just like 301 00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:11,359 Lasa with WSP. I'm on the unders until I can get persuaded to be 302 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,039 on the ovis. So wait, you're on the unders for the forty million. 303 00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:19,559 I don't know. If it's four thousand and eighty two players, that's 304 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:22,720 a lot of players, I understand. I mean, listen, it is. 305 00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:29,319 But they got what twenty nine hundred last year? I mean, yeah, 306 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,880 they're they're ramping up the satellites. I think the fact that last year 307 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,440 was such a success really plays into their favor. You know, a lot 308 00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:40,279 of people are like a lot of people last year. We know, even 309 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,359 last year, a lot of people were on the fence about even coming out 310 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,079 for that event in December. Right then they saw how big the price was. 311 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,200 A lot of people booked late flights and we're like, I gotta get 312 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,920 there right now. If you if you didn't make that trip, I think 313 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,079 you planned on making this trip this year. You were like, I can't 314 00:21:56,079 --> 00:22:00,799 miss that event. Now you're already planning to come. Now you see it's 315 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,880 coming with the forty million dollars guarantee. So now I think you're like, 316 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,759 well, I mean, what are we doing here? Let's we gotta we 317 00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:11,039 gotta be there, right, So I get I think my number will change 318 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:15,039 and I'll probably get back to being overs. But I want to see the 319 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:18,119 satellites. I want to see how look I played a I think it was 320 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,559 at fifty seat Milestone satellite and I had it doubled it. So stuff like 321 00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:27,039 that will really push me to move my number up. But also I want 322 00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:30,200 to see how their first few events of Paradise go. We've got a Mystery 323 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,119 millions, we've got a mini main event, and we've got the twenty five 324 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:40,000 k GG millions high rollers. If those numbers are slightly down to what we 325 00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:42,920 might have expected, then my numbers for WBT are going to go up. 326 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,799 If that makes sense, I think people have made a decision. Stuff it. 327 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,720 I don't want to go to Bahamas. I want to go to Vegas. 328 00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:52,920 I want to play the five million Prime. I want to play the 329 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,359 three K six Max. You know, also we have EPT Prague. If 330 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:02,480 Prague numbers are down too, which we probably probably won't happen, but some 331 00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:06,640 of those things will send my number through the roof of WPT. But I'm 332 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,319 gonna hold back. I'm gonna wait see what happens in early December. Yeah, 333 00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:15,039 I mean, if I were to put kind of a prediction on it, 334 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,319 all I would I would guess that EPT Prague catches the strays here in 335 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,720 a lot of ways. I mean, it's it's the it's WPT, and 336 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:26,039 it's it's WSP Paradise, and it's you know, people aren't really talking about 337 00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:29,920 EPT Prague. So you could look at that either way. You could say, 338 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,759 you know, the numbers for ABT Progue might fall a little bit, 339 00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:34,279 or you could say, you know what everyone's going to be at these other 340 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:37,599 two series and w or EBT Progue is going to be a little bit softer 341 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,519 than I would expect. So we'll see how that goes. If you're in 342 00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:51,240 Prague or Germany or wherever and you're not a pro I feel like your incentive 343 00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:55,400 to travel to Vegas isn't there, so you might as well just stay kind 344 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,319 of home. It's Christmas time I heard Prague's beautiful in December, it is, 345 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,039 so maybe you just say, you know what, that's fine. Prague 346 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:06,759 is still a good event. It's a Puka Stas event, It's run exceptionally 347 00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:11,480 well. Who knows what Bahamas is gonna be wins a mess. It's gonna 348 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,960 be hard for me to get home into my family for Christmas. I'm just 349 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,039 gonna play apt Prague. So I think they'll be fine. Yeah, I 350 00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:21,319 mean, all in all, I think all of these these stops will. 351 00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:25,759 I think they're gonna perform well individually. Now it's gonna be hard to say, 352 00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:27,039 like, well, would this one have been bigger if this one didn't 353 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,319 happen or vice versa. So that's gonna be hard. But I think they're 354 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:37,119 probably all going to hit their numbers. This WPT World Championship overall has fifty 355 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,559 six million dollars guaranteed across the series. They open up with a six and 356 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,319 are dollar opening event that has like nine thousand starting flights with a million dollars 357 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,519 guarantee. It has one, two, three, four, six, seven, 358 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,319 eight starting flights. One of those eight, the final one day one 359 00:24:51,519 --> 00:24:56,319 h is a turbo. They also have a two million dollars guaranteed mystery bounty. 360 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,359 We already hit on the five million dollars guaranteed WPT Prime Championship. They 361 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,279 have another event that I mean, this event alone could be like the main 362 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,599 event on a lot of schedules. A three thousand dollars buying, three million 363 00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:14,079 dollars guarantee that's on there, and then they have a two million dollars one 364 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:21,440 that starts on December seventeenth. It has two starting flights. Then they have 365 00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:26,319 a two million dollars guarantee sixteen hundred dollars buying that starts on December nineteenth. 366 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,599 So I mean, it's just one big event after another on this thing. 367 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,160 They also have they have a senior's high roller. They did it a ten 368 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:41,960 thousand dollars buying seniors event fifteen years fifty years or older gets you into this 369 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,000 one. Five hundred thousand dollars guaranteed, ten thousand dollars buying. I'm going 370 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:48,279 to be certainly paying attention to that one. I'm really interesting who's already going 371 00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,279 to win that? Who's that? Mike Lang He wins every seniors event, 372 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,440 Micha Lang, He just I'm pretty sure he won one like five days ago. 373 00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:00,319 Yeah, I mean maybe he did. He's the best. See a 374 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,279 whole ton of stuff on this WPT World Championship schedule Again, as I mentioned 375 00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:07,880 earlier, win poker dot com or just head to WPT dot com and you 376 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:14,640 can find the stuff on there. He won a thousand dollar win Senior's event, 377 00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:18,279 of course he did. I mean, maybe we need to start having 378 00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:21,839 a senior's PGT event and Mike Lang will just be in the winter circuit. 379 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,400 Can I just read He's five wins go ahead, one hundred and twenty five 380 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:32,240 dollars monthly seniors, a one case seniors high roller, a four hundred seniors, 381 00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:37,480 a four hundred seniors, and then was recently the sorry eleven hundred dollars. 382 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:47,000 Seeing he's just crushed his seniors events. The NAPT is back. I've 383 00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:52,319 been waiting for the North American Poker Tour to come back forever. Last time 384 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,599 that it was held was way back in twenty eleven. Of course, the 385 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:03,359 whole Black Friday situation in the USA kind of killed, just kids killed the 386 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,880 advancement of the North American progratur This is awesome. So it's coming back to 387 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,839 Resorts World in Las Vegas November fourth through twelfth. We know a bit of 388 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,119 the schedule, not the full thing just yet. Still gonna wait to see 389 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,680 the full details of the schedule, but we know a lot of it. 390 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:26,839 So we know that the NAPT main event is November sixth through eleventh. It 391 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,599 has a sixteen hundred and fifty dollars buying. We're gonna hit on that in 392 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,640 a second, or at least I am. There's an NAPT ten thousand, 393 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,519 three hundre dollars super high Roller scheduled for November fifth through sixth. The NAPT 394 00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:44,000 five hundred fifty dollars Nolan Hold Him Cup is scheduled November ninth through twelfth. 395 00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:48,440 They have a fifty three hundred dollars high roller November tenth through twelfth, and 396 00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:56,119 then an eleven hundred dollar mystery bounty event November eleventh through twelfth. So first 397 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,440 thought, Yes, it's back, let's go, and it's coming to Las 398 00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:03,160 Vegas where that that might not mean a lot to a lot of people, 399 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:08,000 but it does for me. Because Poker Stars isn't in Nevada. They're in 400 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,160 other states, but they're not in Nevada. So the fact that they're coming 401 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:18,519 back to Las Vegas is I think awesome. Right now, My second thought 402 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,359 is the sixteen hundred fifty a main event, Buyan seems a tad low. 403 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:26,839 You know, these other events. You know, at least the old NAPT 404 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,359 events were five k buyans for the main event. Then they had some bounty 405 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,119 shootout events, they had some high rollers, et cetera. But the main 406 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,480 events were kind of very similar to the epts, you know, so this 407 00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:40,799 one seems a little bit low. That said, I think my takeaway is 408 00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:48,200 that this is sort of a soft launch in a way. They're gonna kind 409 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,119 of dip their toes back in the water with this event. They're going to 410 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:56,160 pair it with the F one that is in Las Vegas, which they've already 411 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,920 talked about. We know that Poker Stars is a sponsor of the Red Bull 412 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:04,519 Racing team with you know Max Verstapping and all that he does and absolutely annihilating 413 00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:10,599 the competition in F one, So they're gonna pair some stuff there that That 414 00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:15,799 race in Las Vegas is November sixteenth through eighteenth, So I think that they've 415 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:18,920 already put some stuff out where there's some goal passes that can be one which 416 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,119 combined a poker and F one experience all into one, so that stuff's going 417 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,599 to be out there as well. So a little bit of a twofold situation 418 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,240 here where you have kind of a soft launch going into a bigger tour that 419 00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:33,599 I'm guessing they're gonna do for twenty twenty four, and then also being able 420 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,799 to pair it with the f one stuff that they're going to be doing in 421 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,880 Las Vegas. So I'm pretty pumped about this one. Hopefully I'll be able 422 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,200 to get to play it. You know, I don't know if I'm gonna 423 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,079 be exactly loving going down to the strip in the middle of November, But 424 00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:52,000 that said, you know, I think a sixteen hundred and fifty dollars main 425 00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:56,440 events is right up my alley. I'm also guessing they haven't announced anything yet 426 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,119 in terms of guarantees. I'm guessing they're gonna anno some sort of guarantee on 427 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,119 the main event. I don't think Poker Star is just going to come out 428 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,880 here and you know, launch the napt just as a sixteen fifty just and 429 00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,640 hope that you know, it does really well. When there's a chance it 430 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,279 could you know, get fifty runners. I mean, there's always a chance, 431 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,119 right, but if you guarantee it, you obviously lessen that chance. 432 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,440 So so yeah, I think that that stuff's kind of coming down the pipeline 433 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,839 overall, but I'm happy to see it back. I can't wait for the 434 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,359 n APT to be back. I think there's I think there's a big opening 435 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,039 in the market for the NAPT to return, which is also why I was 436 00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:36,920 kind of like, hmm, the sixteen fifty price point does seem a little 437 00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:41,160 low for what I expected, but I think there's probably more coming. Yeah, 438 00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:45,839 I don't hate the sixteen fifty nine, to be honest. It's it's 439 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:52,119 a bit more affordable for people like myself. I actually think that I think 440 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,039 results will actually be okay in November, Like that end of the strip I 441 00:30:56,119 --> 00:31:02,519 think will be safe coming off, you know, from behind results world, 442 00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:04,160 So I don't think you hit too many traffics. I mean hopefully. I 443 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,519 just have no idea, And then every time I go down to the strip, 444 00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:10,119 I'm like, you know, it'll be fine. They're mostly done with 445 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,400 the paving and this and that, and then it's just it's a disaster. 446 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,960 Yeah, it's it's awful. I do like what they've announced with the schedule. 447 00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:21,480 There's some variety there's a couple of high rollers. Like I said, 448 00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:23,079 I think, I mean, I'm a big fan of this five fifty cup 449 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,119 event. I think it'll be big. It's a great price point. We 450 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,279 can go in there and blast away, So that's a good one. I 451 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,960 think Focus Stars is very much trying to get that brand back out there in 452 00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:40,720 the States, and having affordable events is a good step to achieving that. 453 00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:45,599 If you if you were just five k's and up for the main and high 454 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,920 rollers, it'd be hard for people that don't really know what Pocus Stars is, 455 00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:52,680 don't don't know what the NAPT is to just jump in and play this. 456 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,839 I think these affordable buy ins help with some brand exposure, help get 457 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,640 the NAPT back back into people's minds for you know, like you said, 458 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,920 it's a soft launch, it's gonna be a hod launch in twenty twenty four, 459 00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,319 and I think it helps those rights. The only pushback that I would 460 00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:14,200 have on that specific thing that you just mentioned is, you know, on 461 00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:17,680 the EPT, they often pair an EPT like they just did for Barcelona with 462 00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:22,880 the austrai As Poker Tour. You know, they pair EPT Progue with the 463 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,839 Eureka Poker Tour stuff like that, which is their their lower buying series. 464 00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:32,039 So, you know, much like WPT does with WPT Prime in some instances, 465 00:32:32,079 --> 00:32:35,240 I think you could do that here with the NAPT. You know, 466 00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:37,720 you could still have like a one K to a fifteen hundred dollars in that 467 00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:43,559 price point, like smaller tiered thing, and then you have the thirty five 468 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,640 hundred to the five k main event, right, so you kind of offer 469 00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:52,559 both. But that said, I think it's more of this is a starting 470 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,279 point for for things to come, at least at least I'm hopeful in that 471 00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:00,759 regard, So we'll see how things play out. None the less, I'm 472 00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:07,400 happy to have Poker Stars back with the NAPT in the US because I just 473 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:14,640 the way that Poker Stars does events is just the best. Now. Obviously, 474 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,519 there are other events that do really great things. World Poker Tour does 475 00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:22,880 a great job. Triton Poker Series obviously does a great job. I think 476 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,519 what we do on the PGT at the Poker Studio, we do a great 477 00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:30,160 job. But the NAPT, I think is going to take a lot from 478 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,960 the EPT. I mean, it's all under the same umbrella, and it 479 00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:43,200 combines like that amazing experience with an event that is at scale because like Triton 480 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,720 Poker Series, the PGT events, they're smaller. It's easier to do stuff 481 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,039 when it's smaller, right, It's you're not you know, getting you know, 482 00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:52,799 hundreds, if not thousands of players in the mix. So I think 483 00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:55,880 Poker Stars is gonna roll out the bells and whistles for the start of this. 484 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,599 I'm expecting kind of like a PCA type of feel at least like branding 485 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,480 wise, when you walk into Resorts World. We obviously know Resorts World is 486 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,960 a new or newer property down on the Las Vegas Strip, so you know 487 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,760 it's going to be coupled with you know that that level of quality, that 488 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,679 level of luxury. So I'm looking forward to it overall. I think I 489 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,880 think it's gonna be fun. Looking forward to donating at least five hundred and 490 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,559 fifty dollars, Yeah, I mean we got to get in this five fifty. 491 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,280 Gonna take a shot hopefully in the sixteen fifty main event if I can 492 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,800 swing it. Schedule wize, but yeah, it's gonna be a fun time 493 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,320 for sure. And then speaking of Poker Stars or keeping it in the Poker 494 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:43,559 Stars family, EPT Barcelona recently wrapped up. I mean, this stop every 495 00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:47,440 single year is just absolutely gangbusters. So we'll hit on a couple of the 496 00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:52,239 big events here. The fifty three hundred or fifty three hundred euro EPT main 497 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:59,039 event hit two thousand, one hundred and twenty entries. Simon Whissiak from France 498 00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:05,679 one one point one three four million euros that's just over one point two million 499 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,800 dollars. Andre Cary took fifth place for just under four hundred thousand euros, 500 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,639 so another absolutely amazing turnout there. I watched a lot of the Poker Stars 501 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,000 EPT live coverage, as I always try and do. I think it's just 502 00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:25,199 great quality contents. The eleven hundred euro Astraeus Poker tourmain events, so this 503 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,440 one seven thousand, three hundred and ninety eight entries. Three thousand, two 504 00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:34,960 hundred ninety one of those entries were unique players. This is a record setting 505 00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:39,599 turnout for Poker Stars. It is the biggest live event in Poker Stars history. 506 00:35:40,119 --> 00:35:45,719 Lucien Cohen out of France, another Frenchman, winning this one for six 507 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:51,400 hundred and seventy six thousand euros. That's seven hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. 508 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,280 The twenty two hundred Astraeus Poker Tour high Roller. Another huge turnout here, 509 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,199 twenty two hundred and fourteen entries. Goren Mandich out of Croatia won four 510 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:07,920 hundred eighteen thousand, nine hundred euros. This was a three way chop. 511 00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:13,719 Antoine Labat got second place and actually got more money than Mandig did for winning. 512 00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:17,880 Labat took home a five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand euros even and 513 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,880 then Yun Shang Son got third for three hundred and eighty five thousand euros. 514 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,920 I believe, if I remember correctly, that they got down to three handed, 515 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,360 they did an icmdal and then they just flipped for the trophy and that 516 00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:35,280 was that one hundred thousand euro EPT Super high Roller. I feel like this 517 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,239 one was on the smaller side for a poker start super high roller. Eighteen 518 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,239 entries, you know, I feel like these usually get a bit larger. 519 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,360 But you know who knows Kahan Mockri. I probably butchered that name terribly, 520 00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:52,559 I'm sorry. Won the event for seven hundred and fifty thousand euros, and 521 00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:55,440 then you had the ten thousand, three hundred euro EPT high Roller. This 522 00:36:55,559 --> 00:37:00,480 event every single year, these high rollers at EPT Barcelona, all is perform 523 00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:04,639 extremely well. Four hundred and seventy five entries in this one. Quan Lao, 524 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,719 a PLO expert Kuwana playing the two card game here, winning nine hundred 525 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:16,119 and ten thousand euros. There, So massive turnouts from EPT Barcelona as we 526 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:21,679 can expect. And the EPT, I mean the EBT what took some time 527 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,039 off or whatever then came back. I mean, it's just it's it's going 528 00:37:24,559 --> 00:37:28,079 as good as ever. I mean, I love the epts. I think 529 00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:34,400 they're, you know, just the absolute pinnacle in you know, huge field 530 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,519 live poker tournaments. I love everything Poker Stars does with them. So again, 531 00:37:38,639 --> 00:37:45,519 hopefully some of that EPT stuff transitions to the NAPT here in the States 532 00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:49,800 or in North America. All Right, so we gotta bring this one inside 533 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,559 a little bit high stakes poker. We don't always try to talk about, 534 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,320 you know, all the stuff that we're doing on Poker Go, just because 535 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,760 we don't want to seem like a bunch of shills for our own stuff. 536 00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:05,360 That said, High Stakes Poker Season eleven has delivered. It's been awesome. 537 00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:08,960 I don't know what Tim thinks. I think it's been arguably the best season 538 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,760 of high stakes poker. Ever, that's a very very strong thing. It's 539 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:19,760 been so good, it's been so good. The stakes are astronomical. One 540 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,800 thousand and two thousand are the blinds, and then they're putting on the four 541 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,840 thousand dollars straddle every chance that they can get. So there's that. The 542 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,159 the group of players. You have Andrew Robil, you have Jean Robert Blonde, 543 00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:34,800 you have Rick Solomon, Like, they all just work really well together. 544 00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:38,119 You know, they obviously have played a lot in the past, whether 545 00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:44,239 that be on you know, various televised or filmed games like this. Also 546 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,559 you can definitely tell that they play have been a bunch of private games together. 547 00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:51,800 Eric Person made an appearance, dusted off a bunch of money, like 548 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,119 lasted like twelve minutes and then was out. Rob Young's in the mix. 549 00:38:54,239 --> 00:39:00,280 So I think it's been a ton of fun overall this whole season. So 550 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,599 yeah, I mean I love it. You know, I'm like, I've 551 00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:08,920 always been really partial to the old high stakes poker, which I think most 552 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,639 people in poker have. You know, that's kind of for a lot of 553 00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:15,519 people. That was really like the door opener, you know, to get 554 00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:20,119 us into like the world of high stakes poker, right, and it was 555 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,199 so so so good. Well, it's taking a little bit of time since 556 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,960 there was that break, but I think season eleven, I think this is 557 00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:30,800 it, Like this is this is the new modern high stakes poker, and 558 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,000 this is what it should be. I almost feel like going forward, high 559 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,559 stakes pokers should not have blinds less than one thousand, two thousand. You 560 00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:44,280 just got to find guys to play. That's especially especially with with no gamble 561 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,440 in the future sometimes playing the same stakes. So just high stakes poker, 562 00:39:49,559 --> 00:39:51,920 you know, stick to the name one thousand and two thousand. Let's go 563 00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:54,079 find guys that are going to play this big. But we gotta talk about 564 00:39:54,119 --> 00:40:00,239 this. On a recent episode, Jean Robert Blonde made a fold that I 565 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:06,159 mean, tim is tight. I mean, but holy crap, what are 566 00:40:06,159 --> 00:40:08,559 we doing here? So it's one thousand, two thousand with the four thousand 567 00:40:08,559 --> 00:40:13,599 straddle. Rick Solomon, who if you've ever watched Rick Solomon play poker, 568 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:20,679 he's both like good in a weird, out of the box, unorthodox way, 569 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,840 but he can also like be really wacky and wild, like he's kind 570 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,480 of all over the place. And Jean Robert Blond has a lot of experience 571 00:40:29,559 --> 00:40:31,360 playing with Rick Solomon, so he knows that and they often talk about it. 572 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,679 You know, Rick can do whatever he wants. Rick isn't never going 573 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,880 to be scared by the stakes all this sort of stuff. So it's one 574 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,400 thousand, two thousand with the four thousand straddle. Rick Solomon finds the powerful 575 00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:45,400 four deuce off makes it fifteen k you know, so he's already in there, 576 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,719 he's just splashing. Let's go now, Jean Robert blond isn't the small 577 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,239 blind folds to him. He's got three hundred and sixty five thousand in his 578 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,960 stack. He makes it fifty thousand with pocket queens three hundred and fifteen thousand 579 00:40:58,039 --> 00:41:00,239 behind, folds back over to Solomon. He just says, you know what, 580 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:05,679 I'm all in, Yolo, let's go. Wellon, folds the two 581 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,480 queens. I mean, what are we doing? Why are you three betting 582 00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:12,199 that hand if you're folding the two queens and Nick Schulman credit to Nick Schulman 583 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,599 says, easily the worst fold in the history of the show. Yes, 584 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,960 it was the worst fold in the history of the show. I mean, 585 00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:22,440 come on, I think it was a fine It was fine fold. What 586 00:41:22,519 --> 00:41:25,119 do you say, yeah, you're the captain of the Army of the Knits. 587 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,000 Figure it out. I mean, this was so bad? What's he 588 00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:34,519 doing? Yes, it was not great. He did have what three hundred 589 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,760 I mean it's a lot of money. Yeah, but I mean seven of 590 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,519 his stacking preflopping. Come on, man, you have pocket queens, the 591 00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:49,079 third best hand in poker. Get it in from memory. I think Jib 592 00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:53,199 lost the first two days, this being the third day that he was playing, 593 00:41:53,320 --> 00:42:01,840 so that could definitely have some influence on his decision. So yeah, 594 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,400 I mean, yeah, I don't know what to say. I didn't think 595 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,719 it was it was a bad phone, I mean, coming from it does 596 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:13,039 remind us of an old hand between brad Booth and phil Ivy, when brad 597 00:42:13,119 --> 00:42:15,239 Booth had the forties. It was suited, though it was the forty suited 598 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,800 versus the pocket kings of phil Ivy. The difference there was that that one 599 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,639 saw a flop. Okay, very different situation that one. They went to 600 00:42:24,679 --> 00:42:29,480 the flop, did brad Booth and phil Ivy, And the flop was seven 601 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:35,239 six three with two diamonds, And I forget the action exactly, but brad 602 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,480 Booth puts just stacks of cash in the middle, and it leads to the 603 00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:43,119 famous line of Ivy saying that cash just looks so sweet. I wish you 604 00:42:43,159 --> 00:42:47,280 could put the chips hand. That cash just looks so sweet as he's in 605 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,519 the tank thinking about calling with the two kings. But you know, Brad 606 00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:54,159 Booth can have a ton of hands here, he can have seven six, 607 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,079 he can have different two pairs, he can have he could have flopped a 608 00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:01,280 straight. You know, you could have set stuff like that. So different 609 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,119 situation because you do see the flop here here, I mean, given the 610 00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:09,480 stack size three betting to fifty k, having three hundred fifteen K behind, 611 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:15,239 given the fact that you have pocket queen's third best hand in poker preflop, 612 00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:17,719 given the fact that it's Rick Solomon out of all people, I mean, 613 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,559 you just you gotta call, you gotta, you gotta beat him into the 614 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:25,760 pot at Phil Hummy style. It's it's the Rick Solomon pop that makes it 615 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,599 the bad phone. I mean, if this is like Rob Young, you've 616 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,760 probably fold. I mean, yeah, it's Rick Solomon. Just put the 617 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,519 chips in. Let's gory. I mean, this is that's just wild and 618 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:44,519 the way they've been playing them on the season you know that you're probably gonna 619 00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:45,760 run it twice. So like if you're up against an ace king, like, 620 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,360 yeah, you're flipping. You may not want to flip for that much 621 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,840 money, but you know you're gonna be running it twice or whatever. I 622 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:57,480 mean. Yeah, this was one of many fun, crazy moments from season 623 00:43:57,559 --> 00:44:00,599 eleven of High Stakes Poker. Again, I would highly incur you to watch 624 00:44:00,679 --> 00:44:05,000 it because I listen, I'm not joking. I think it's it's arguably the 625 00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:07,800 best season in high stakes poker history. It's just been so so so good. 626 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,800 All right, last thing we're gonna talk about here, we got to 627 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:15,320 hit on Shawn Deeve. Now he posted an update. So Shaun Deeve was 628 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,280 supposed to get down to I believe seventeen percent body fat in a bet against 629 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,400 Bill Perkins. He has to do it by the start of the twenty twenty 630 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,719 four World Series of Poker. I think it's like May thirty at their May 631 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,679 thirty first is when he's got to get his scan and get in down to 632 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:35,760 seventeen percent body fat. He's posting one hundred thousand dollars to Bill Perkins's one 633 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,480 million dollars. He got a dexa scan, which is a full body scan 634 00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:43,920 that gives you all sorts of measurements. Most importantly, as it pertains to 635 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,800 this bet, it does give you probably the most accurate body fat percentage read 636 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,199 out there. So he gets that on August twenty first, so a couple 637 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,599 of weeks ago, it comes back at thirty six percent. I mean, 638 00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:00,679 is he is he jowing dead? No, not at all. Really, 639 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,719 you don't think so? No. I mean that doesn't seem like it's that 640 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,800 much progress. Like, so he's supposed to photos how he's having a cheap 641 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,960 meal at his favorite restaurant. Looks like he's got nineteen chicken palms on the 642 00:45:13,039 --> 00:45:16,199 table, like, I mean, he probably shouldn't be doing that. But 643 00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:21,280 as you know, and hopefully some of our listeners, No, I used 644 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:29,119 to be a larger man, and my first body scan I was too basically 645 00:45:29,159 --> 00:45:31,719 two fifty was Shawn is now thirty six percent body fat? What's he gotta 646 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,320 get to? He's gotta get to seventeen exactly. I think it's seventeen, 647 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:43,079 yeah, without without doing any like crazy fasting. When I was one eighty 648 00:45:43,159 --> 00:45:47,239 five, I was seventeen point seven percent body fat. Now I was not 649 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:52,280 using a dex scan. It was one of those like in body ones, 650 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,480 they have a lifetime, so it's it's very good, but I think a 651 00:45:54,559 --> 00:45:59,440 dexter scan is obviously better. So he has to try and get to one 652 00:45:59,519 --> 00:46:02,360 eighty five. Can he get to one eight five between now in the World 653 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,599 Series of Poker next year? Yes, he can't be having cheat meals. 654 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:12,039 He's gonna knuckle down. He's got to be locked on working out, running, 655 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,480 cardio, eating well, doing everything, and he'll get that. So 656 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:22,360 can he physically get to seventeen percent? Yes? Will he? I don't 657 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,880 know if he's gonna have chicken palmers in a random August.

And I also 682 00:48:00,519 --> 00:48:05,400 didn't have a million dollars carrot over my head. I just had a few 683 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,119 thousand dollars carrots in white luss beets. But yeah, you just have to 684 00:48:09,159 --> 00:48:15,159 be like real hardcore and it's it's not easy. But if he wants to 685 00:48:15,199 --> 00:48:16,719 do it, he'll get there.

He was trying. Now I don't know. Now, 692 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:43,239 I think I leaned towards him not making it. At least it's gonna be 693 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,519 much harder than I thought, just because you know, being at thirty six 694 00:48:45,639 --> 00:48:49,119 percent. Now, you know, at least he was thirty six percent in 695 00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:51,639 August twenty first, you know.
