It wrapped up last night. 32 00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:32,680 I thought it was an incredible finish. To you, a great tournament, 33 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:40,639 I mean yeah, that's kind of like my takeaway. Initially, Daniel 34 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,120 Sepiel is the winner. He took home nearly five point three million dollars. 35 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,639 I think the original first place prize was like five point six and change. 36 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,759 But he made a small deal with Giorgio Soderopolis, who took home more than 37 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,520 four point one million dollars for his second place finish. This final table was 38 00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:02,960 absolutely sick. I know Tim watched it. I watched it from start to 39 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,879 finish. I mean, the final six players that we got from this field. 40 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,199 I think when the field got down to let's say one hundred and twenty 41 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,479 something like that, you know, it was kind of like, who the 42 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,400 heck is going to make this final table? Not that it necessarily matters because 43 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,719 it's such a big event. It's a ten K. They had more than 44 00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:28,719 thirty eight hundred players. There's more than five point six million dollars up top. 45 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,439 You know, everyone that makes the TV final table of six that the 46 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,840 WPT does, you know, is guaranteed more than a million dollars, more 47 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,080 than one point two million dollars. It's like, who's gonna make this? 48 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,520 But even if you get a bunch of unknowns, it's kind of like a 49 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:46,560 WSICP main event where it doesn't necessarily matter because the tournament is so big and 50 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,639 fun and entertaining and the prize money is just so absolutely crazy. That said, 51 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,599 I mean, I'm not sure you could have hand picked a better six 52 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,840 from the players as they got down. Sepiel is the winner. As I 53 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:06,479 mentioned, young kid, longtime grinder. I've personally played with them a lot 54 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:12,199 around here in Las Vegas. You know, he's very, very, very 55 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,040 good, as I think was evidenced by his play at the final table Georgia 56 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,839 Sodoropolis out of Greece. Been around, a long time crusher. Andrew Lucky 57 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:24,560 Cheweye Liechtenberger. He took third place for almost two point eight million dollars, 58 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,439 a career best score for Lucky Chewye. Pretty sure everyone knows Lucky Chewy absolute 59 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:32,600 crusher, been around forever, one of the absolute nicest guys in poker. 60 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,040 Another super nice guy Chris Mormon talk about a legend. I mean, this 61 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,959 was like the the online poker og, the og of OG's like he would 62 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,439 just play everything in anything under the sun online. I believe he was the 63 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,360 first person to eclipse ten million dollars in online tournament earnings. Doesn't play online 64 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:54,519 as much as he once did because he's married. He lives out here in 65 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,720 Las Vegas, so you know, online poker isn't, you know, as 66 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:00,680 big as it is rest of world, or as it once was. But 67 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,560 he still does grind online and he came into this final table did well, 68 00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:11,519 got fourth almost two point one million dollars. Ben Heath another brit. If 69 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,199 you follow the high roller scene specifically, you'll know Ben Heath. He's always 70 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:18,519 playing the biggest buy ins in the world, whether that be at the ws 71 00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:21,959 AP, whether that be out and some epts on some trit and stops. 72 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,839 Ben Heath is an absolute killer. He took fifth for almost one point six 73 00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:31,560 million dollars, and then another super high stakes crusher, Arter Marturosian took home 74 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,120 just over one point two million dollars. He was eliminated in a bit of 75 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:42,800 a cooler spot blind versus blind first Daniel Sepuel. Sepuel had sevens Archer Marturosian 76 00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:48,519 had pocket fives. Tim what's your takeaway from the conclusion to this event? 77 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,839 I thought, like you said, great Vinyl table. We nearly couldn't have 78 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:57,600 asked for anything better. It was great to watch it was. It was 79 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,959 from a learning perspective, it was very interesting watching how these guys were making 80 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,240 kind of the adjustments to the fact that, hey, these guys are all 81 00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,560 world class players, so they got to play a little different, play a 82 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,759 little I felt maybe snug, and it was actually cool to watch. I 83 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,399 enjoyed watching the Final Table. I will admit. Once it got heads up, 84 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,199 I was out. I was done. I had to had to hit 85 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,079 the hay. But I was there for pretty much the whole the whole ride. 86 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,120 No, I mean it was great. It was massive money, massive 87 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,480 moments. I couldn't really ask for much better to to kind of cap off 88 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:39,519 the year in poker. Yeah. I tweeted today some of my thoughts and 89 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,000 they were basically that that I'm not sure you could get any more of a 90 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,879 perfect Final Table live stream, all things considered from a viewer perspective, and 91 00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:55,079 and this was an event where I was a viewer, I was a fan. 92 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,920 I was sitting on the couch watching watch the whole thing start to finish. 93 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,600 I did fall asleep during heads up play because I was dead ass tired 94 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,279 yesterday. But if I dozed off for like ten minutes, woke up and 95 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,040 just you know, rewound and kept going. Not a big deal. I 96 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,879 thought the heads up was going to go for like it was gonna be one 97 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,759 of those like six hour matches, and I was like, I don't know 98 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:17,800 if I can whatever time it was eleven years, I don't know if I 99 00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,279 could stick around. I mean, I thought the final table might go forever. 100 00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:27,000 Yeah, I mean like like I'm talking like super high rollable plo forever, 101 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,800 like you know, we did that just because the pay jumps were big 102 00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:40,480 and meaningful. These guys were pretty deep overall. I thought that like their 103 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,800 skill, like they wouldn't just go in there like just blasting it off kind 104 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,240 of with nothing like it would it would take some pretty big coolers. It 105 00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:49,040 was also not even levels right still, Yeah, I mean it was. 106 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,079 It was the levels of forever. So but listen, I thought it was 107 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,920 incredible, you know. I thought the commentary from Henry Kane and Jesse Silvia 108 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,680 was a plus. You know, specifically Jesse Sylvia because he's the one who 109 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,079 you know, he's alongside Henry Kilby and Henry's calling the action. Jesse's given 110 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:13,480 like the strategy stuff, and I thought Jesse was just great, you know, 111 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,000 really really gave insight to the strategy elements that were at play. It's 112 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,839 also helpful that you know Jesse has experience and in a situation like this where 113 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,639 you know, he got second to Greg Merson in the WSPY main event, 114 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,160 where that that's a similar spot where you have these insane pay jumps, like 115 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,759 all this sort of stuff is happening that you really have to factor in. 116 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,200 You can't just go in there and just you know, blast it off. 117 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,720 So I thought that that insight that they provided was great. I thought the 118 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:46,519 production quality was very good. Could do without the whole thirty minute intro whatever 119 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600 the hell that thing was. I mean, they got to get rid of 120 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:52,279 that, for sure, Matt Savage, you text me how to get rid 121 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,480 of that, Like, please, for the love of God, that was 122 00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:01,120 dreadful. But other than that, you know what, I don't for the 123 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,840 event, it's fine. It was it was horrendous about it, but I 124 00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:11,840 was so cringe. It was so cringe. You know what you do with 125 00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:16,720 that? Like like that's something where like if it happens, then you put 126 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,840 that in the TV show if you wire, but like you don't need to 127 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,879 put it on the live show and listen. I don't. I've never seen. 128 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:30,279 I have never seen. I've done a lot of YouTube streams in my 129 00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:35,879 day and I've watched a lot. I have never once seen a YouTube chat 130 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,039 unanimously be on one side, and they were unanimously against this. So that 131 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,879 was funny. Anyway, It was all good fun. They had a just 132 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,279 just so everyone knows if you didn't catch it, they had They had a 133 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:52,159 beatboxer, They had a breakdance team. They had a freestyle rap group where 134 00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:58,759 where each person in the group made a rap of the person that they were 135 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:01,519 introing. So like, somebody did Daniel Sepiel, then somebody did in Georgio 136 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,679 Soda Roppolo's like that, you know that they each did something, and then 137 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,960 they introduced all the WPT town members and it was it was a whole whole 138 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,679 thing like you would expect from the WPT. But I digress back to the 139 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,679 final table. Daniel Sepiel like like the hand that's going around the most. 140 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,919 Happened pretty early on. So yeah, Andrew Lucky Chewy Liuchtenburger comes in with 141 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,200 a pretty big chip lead and Daniel Sepiel just goes at him. Pretty early 142 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,600 on. Chew he opened the eight ten of diamonds. Sepuel three bets the 143 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:35,399 king ten of hearts. Chewi calls it comes four to three three one heart, 144 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,039 one diamond. I think it was like the four spades as well. 145 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:45,240 He goes check bet from Sepiel. Call from Lichtenberger. Turn is uh a 146 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:50,399 diamond? I forget what the Nina diamonds? Maybe turns a diamond. Check 147 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:54,360 from Lichtenberger again, Sepiel stays on the gas bets once again. Uh. 148 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,120 Lichtenberger calls, He's now got you know, a pretty good ace high on 149 00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,159 a paired board, and then he's also got the nut flush straw as well. 150 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,399 River's a three, so puts three threes on board. Chewy checks, 151 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,960 and Sepiel just goes for it all in, like and this is like, 152 00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:16,879 you know, I mean this spot like it's it's easy to see this from 153 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,840 the couch and like I'm sitting there like I'm like, he he has to 154 00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:24,000 go all in here, like this is this is a pretty clear spot for 155 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:30,600 him to go all in. That said, good luck finding that, like 156 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,919 in the moment at this final table with the money that's on the line, 157 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,399 knowing that if Chewi calls, you're out, like and you just looked like 158 00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:41,879 a total asshole on on TV, like you know, all that sort of 159 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:46,799 stuff. I've played with Sepiel enough, you know, around town to know 160 00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:52,879 that he has this in him for sure, and he found it. He 161 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,919 used a time extension, but ultimately he announced that he was all in. 162 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,399 I thought in the in the moment that we might get a little more of 163 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,279 a tank out of Lichtenberger, Like I was like, man, now, 164 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,679 if Lichtenberger finds this call, this is just out of control. But he 165 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,159 folded relatively quickly, so you know, I think, you know, Sepuel 166 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:13,720 there can certainly rep a tunnel full houses. So you know, good on 167 00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:16,919 him for for not backing down in that moment, and uh, you know, 168 00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:22,120 playing to when I thought. I thought Jesse Sylvia throughout the course of 169 00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:26,320 the Final Table really did explain a lot of the situations and a lot of 170 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,440 the dynamics well. And one of one of the things that he said that 171 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:35,279 I thought was really good was about Sepio where he's he's, he's he wasn't 172 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,279 just like throwing caution to the wind entirely in terms of ic M, but 173 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,720 you could certainly tell that he was playing for first place a little bit more 174 00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:48,960 than the others were, and ultimately it worked out for him because he won 175 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,039 won the Dam Tournament. So overall, you know, it was it was 176 00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:56,759 a lot of fun to watch Sepuel play. It was a lot of fun 177 00:12:56,799 --> 00:12:58,759 to watch all these guys play. I thought Ben Heath played really well. 178 00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:01,559 You know, Marcha Rosian was there for a pretty short period of time. 179 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:05,240 But when in the early going, like he started to kind of build build, 180 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,360 build, and it was like, oh oh, like here comes archer 181 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,080 Marz Rosian, who's like, you know, all these guys are super super 182 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,919 good. Chris Mormon was like, he found a really good check raised bluff, 183 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,440 he found some good folds when he was behind, like in tricky spots, 184 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,799 like it was just it was awesome. And then the other like really 185 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,600 big hand that got kind of stuck out was three handed. This reminded me 186 00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:28,480 of a not it's not as much, but it reminded me a little bit 187 00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,879 of Jonathan Duhamel, John Raisner and Joseph Chong. And what I mean by 188 00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:39,279 that is you're three handed, Okay, you got Lichtenberger and Sepiol have the 189 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,639 majority of the chips between them, and they're pretty much tied but Sepiel has 190 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,480 like a slight lead, and then Sortuopoulos is shorter. He's not like you 191 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,519 know, on fumes, but he's much shorter. And they give Lichtenberger the 192 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:54,799 ace king, they give Sepiel the two jacks. The money goes in. 193 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,039 And why it makes me think of the racer Duhamel Chong is that you know, 194 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,279 you had Duhamel and Chong just go to war and racer just like sat 195 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:05,360 on the sidelines and watched this happen and then picked up a couple of million 196 00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:09,480 dollars in a paye jump, which is exactly what Giorgio Sodaroppolos did because the 197 00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:13,240 money goes in between the ace king and the jacks between the other two and 198 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,120 Jorjio Soderoppolos is like, oh my God, like here we go. Even 199 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,960 if Chewie would have won the hand, chew he loses the hand and gets 200 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000 eliminated in third place. But even if he would have won, like Sepio 201 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,960 would have been crushed. Right, So like Georgio Soderoppolos is like, oh 202 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,639 my God, like you know, found money. Here's like an extra one 203 00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:31,639 point five million that I just you know, landed in my lap, so 204 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:39,120 it was it was super entertaining from start to finish. This is one where 205 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:41,039 like I'm like, you know what, I'm probably gonna watch it a few 206 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,840 more times. Like it was that good from kind of all the different aspects. 207 00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:50,600 It wasn't. It wasn't really slow. All the play was very high 208 00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,440 level. The commentary was extremely good and insightful, which which I really liked. 209 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,879 You obviously had the element that like, you know, listen not to 210 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,840 dump on our own stuff, but like I know, we do a lot 211 00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:03,840 of events, and like the play is super high but like a lot of 212 00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:07,039 times they're playing for like two hundred and fifty K, three hundred k first 213 00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:11,759 place, the structures are much faster, the stacks are much shallower, you 214 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:15,000 know. So it's it's not the same, right, same with like Triton, 215 00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:16,960 Like that's kind of what you get out of that stuff. This was 216 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:24,639 w s AP Main Event Final table feel, but with really really really good 217 00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:28,080 players. Not the players of the Man Event Final Table aren't good. But 218 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:33,960 I don't think you see the same collection of all the people that were at 219 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,159 the final table that we saw here, right, Like you get a lot 220 00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,240 of wild cards that make the Bisaby main event file table, and they're kind 221 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,360 of all over the place, you know, but this one was everyone was 222 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,879 was totally on point, so it was it was a real real treat to 223 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,720 watch. They did miss the guarantee in the event, which on the last 224 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:54,879 podcast you said that they were gonna miss. I was like, I think 225 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:58,279 they're still gonna make it. They fell short by two point four to two 226 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,360 point five million. In that range. They got three eight hundred and thirty 227 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,360 five entries in this event. The guarantee was forty million. It was a 228 00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,279 ten thousand, four hundred dollars buying with ninety eight hundred dollars going to the 229 00:16:08,279 --> 00:16:11,879 prize school, so they needed four thousand and eighty two entries in order to 230 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:15,879 get there. Fell a little bit short, but they I mean, listen, 231 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,559 kudos to the WWPT because they came out and they basically just owned it, 232 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,440 took it on the chin, and then I think everyone just moved on 233 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,240 and that was it, which in a lot of things in life, I'm 234 00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:34,600 a marketing guy, I'm a pr guy. Like I will always say, 235 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:40,639 I always advise at any time, like most of the time it's best to 236 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:45,879 just sort of apologize and or own something. And move on when you ever, 237 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,120 like did not deny something or like try and deflect blame or make excuses 238 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,840 or whatever. It always lingers like in anything, right, But if you're 239 00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:57,600 just like, you know what we missed, we messed up. Okay, 240 00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:00,519 whatever, cool or give two and a half million dollars to the players. 241 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:04,960 Let's go next up. You know, right after they missed, you know, 242 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,559 the numbers came out that they I mean, I wasn't there at the 243 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:11,640 win at the time. I don't. I don't know if you were, 244 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,759 but I know there was a press email sent out at like at like seven 245 00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:18,319 o'clock at night, and it was like, hey, all media, seven 246 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,440 point thirty in this room. Adam plisk is going to be there, you 247 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,640 know, face to face, answering your questions. I mean, listen, 248 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,200 kudos to Adam Pliska. He doesn't have to do that. Like he didn't. 249 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,640 They could have just sent out some sort of note, this is the 250 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,559 prize pool, this is my quote. Whatever. No, he faced the 251 00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:34,400 fire, you know, and and and gave some good quotes. You know. 252 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,480 He said things like I'm just reading from poker dot org who did a 253 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480 story on it. You know, he said, like we knew the risks. 254 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,920 In my mind, we've succeeded. You know. They talked a lot 255 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,160 about how it's really about kind of kind of building something and giving back to 256 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,920 the players and the community and all that sort of stuff. You and I 257 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:56,559 kind of touched on it, you know last time. Is that when you 258 00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:00,640 when you want to make an event as big as they want to make this 259 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:03,640 event, you know you're gonna have to swing for the fences, and with 260 00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:07,480 that does come risk. So you know, that's that He also said, 261 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,279 you know, when you're when you're doing a stretch goal, you're essentially buying 262 00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:15,079 an options contract in the future. That's you know, that's an interesting way 263 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:18,640 to look at things. So, I mean, I know in the past, 264 00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:22,440 people have, you know, venues, events, operators, whatever, 265 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,559 have misguarantees and it's it's always kind of had a negative effect going forward. 266 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:32,559 What I mean by that is the operator or the venue is less likely to 267 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,640 put on the same guarantee the next year. Maybe they scale it back, 268 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,640 maybe in the in the most drastic sense, the event gets canceled, maybe 269 00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:44,640 even more drastic measures. You know, people get fired for missing guarantees. 270 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,480 Like all that sort of stuff is kind of crazy to me, you know 271 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,440 that, like you're gonna miss these things once in a while, especially when 272 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,839 you go out there and you swing for forty million like the WPT did here. 273 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,319 I think that you and I were on the same page going in, 274 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,400 and it was, you know when we heard that they were gonna go to 275 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,519 forty million, even before the announcement came out. You know, we kind 276 00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:11,559 of heard that this was like the conversation, well, you and I think 277 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,160 you would agree with me that we thought forty was a little crazy, you 278 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200 know, like why like why do you need to go to forty? You 279 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,480 did fifteen, You smashed it, You got more than twenty nine, almost 280 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,759 thirty. Like, in my opinion, I think you should have just went 281 00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:27,720 to thirty and just been like, you know what we did fifteen, We 282 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,880 just about doubled it. You know what, this year, we're gonna we're 283 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,000 gonna guarantee the thirty total. That's what we're gonna do, which I think 284 00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:41,920 would have worked right Yea, Now it seems like they don't care because they're 285 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,319 just owning this and it's great and whatever. So I'm not gonna say that 286 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,200 them missing by you know, two point four to two point five million is 287 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,279 gonna ruin this going forward. It sounds like everything that I've heard is that 288 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:59,400 they're ready to run this back next year in the very least the same forty 289 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,799 million dollars again, if not, I wouldn't be surprised if they up at 290 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,799 fifty, because I mean, if if you're willing to go fifteen to forty, 291 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,000 you might go to fifty. The plan, listen, the plan all 292 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:15,640 along might have been because so here's what we know. We know they have 293 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:21,160 a three year contract, right, that's like out there. So the plan 294 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,640 might have been, go let's go fifteen, let's go twenty five, let's 295 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,279 go fifty. I don't know, something kind of like that. They did 296 00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:34,319 fifteen. They almost doubled it, you know, they got twenty nine plus 297 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,119 million. So then they're like, you know what, let's just throw a 298 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,839 little bit of a bit of gasoline on this. Let's go right to forty. 299 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,400 Like I think they're still trying to push, So I would not be 300 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:51,640 surprised if they come out and say fifty million. So yeah, I mean, 301 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,519 I mean, the only way they do that is to be honest. 302 00:20:55,519 --> 00:21:02,200 If Paradise WSP Paradise doesn't happen, I don't necessarilyrely agree. I mean, 303 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,880 yeah, I don't necessarily agree. I don't know. I mean, would 304 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:11,079 you agree that if they if WSB Paradise was or not, they would have 305 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,640 made forty million? Yeah, So I think it's a big enough factor. 306 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:22,839 Whether it's one hundred entrance or three hundred entrants going to fifty is I think 307 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,599 a risk they should not? Yeah, I mean I also shared on social 308 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,119 media that I just I don't like the fact that you know, you and 309 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,920 I've talked about this before, Like, I just don't like the fact that 310 00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,359 these two brands went head to head in the manner at which they did in 311 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,519 December, Like I ultimately listen, I'm I've said it many times on these 312 00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:45,759 airwaves, I said it many times elsewhere. I'm all for competition. I 313 00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:51,440 think that that certainly pushes people to be at their best. It pushes the 314 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,200 fakers to go away like they can't hack it right, and and it makes 315 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,160 things grow. That said, like, I think you can have that the 316 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,799 competition while also having cooperation. And what I mean by that is the WPT 317 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,559 comes out there. They swing massive last year, they do extremely well. 318 00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:12,200 Everyone's raving about this festival. Blah, blah blah. Right, they come 319 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:18,599 out this year forty million. WSP could have just put their Bahamas event in 320 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,799 January, which it's still competitive to the WPT World Championship, It's just not 321 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,759 right on top of each other. Right, it's like, oh, okay, 322 00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:30,200 you're gonna do something in December. You're gonna do forty million. Okay, 323 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,880 fine, we're doing x million in January. Like that's what we're doing, 324 00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:37,160 and that's how you kind of go head to head like because people are 325 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,319 still going to compare. That benefits I think it benefits both brands better because 326 00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:47,200 players can play both a lot of people. I mean, first of all, 327 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,920 there was a lot of stuff that was a out of people's control, 328 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,200 like the travel issues. People just got delayed going from Bahamas to try and 329 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,000 get to the WPT. So that was just an issue that you can't really 330 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,839 control or plan for. That said, you know, you're gonna get all 331 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,279 these pros that are playing both fire and multiple bullets in both all that sort 332 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:08,119 of stuff. So it's better for the brands in that sense because everyone could 333 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,440 you know, those people can both, those brands can both do well. 334 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,519 It also benefits the players because if you're a pro like you're gonna get a 335 00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:22,039 shot to play both, right, you know, like I I think that, 336 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,000 you know, the WPT and the WSP essentially made players choose one or 337 00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:30,240 the other in a way, and if you didn't, if you didn't choose 338 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,160 like one one and zero percent the other you chose, you chose like sixty 339 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,559 percent the other. Like someone like a Jeremy Osmas, he was basically in 340 00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:41,720 the Bahamas for everything, and then he came back for the main and some 341 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,440 of the bigger stuff. At the WPT, well, you know, you 342 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,759 have a lot of that sort of stuff. A lot of the lot of 343 00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:52,720 the Europeans probably chose the Bahamas simply because of like the tax situation, whereas 344 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,799 they might have just bit the bullet on the tax situation largely like they do 345 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,480 when they bite the bullet on going to the WSP in the summer, on 346 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,519 the tech situation, just because it's so big that like if you win five 347 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,519 six million, you don't really care about the taxes at that point, it's 348 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:08,400 like whatever, you know, it's like, Okay, this is a good 349 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,440 problem to have, not a big deal, right, So you know, 350 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,960 you see them avoid the smaller stuff. In the US, they avoid a 351 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,559 lot of our stuff, for example. But when it comes to the WSOP 352 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:23,079 type of stuff, which the WPT World Championship Festival is, you know, 353 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,880 it gives off WSP type of vibes like they're gonna just come out and they're 354 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,559 gonna fire for that. But if you give them the option where they can 355 00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:34,519 get that sort of thing somewhere else, then they're probably gonna choose that somewhere 356 00:24:34,519 --> 00:24:37,759 else. Now, I would say that a lot of those Europeans probably would 357 00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:41,519 have just done both if you had them separate, because it's so big. 358 00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:45,440 So so yeah, that's kind of my little shpiel on that, Like I 359 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,240 think you can still have that, you know that that competition. And I 360 00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:55,440 also like just kind of if you're the WSOP, like you kind of own 361 00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:57,880 the whole year in a way. You like you kick off the poker calendar 362 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,119 in January. You're like, PCA is I mean, it hasn't been announced. 363 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,920 It's not happening this year. You know, we've heard they might move 364 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,960 it somewhere. We've heard various things kind of all over the place, but 365 00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:11,799 they announced the EPT schedule. I know nothing about a PCA, so as 366 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:15,640 PCACH is done, as far as I'm concerned it's done until you tell me 367 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,039 it's not done. Right, So you own January. There's no more Auzzie 368 00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:21,880 millions. It used to be it was PCA and it was Ozzie Millions in 369 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,200 January. Right. Yeah, you might have ha like a WPT Lucky Hearts 370 00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:29,160 or you know, a Borgota Winter Poke Rope and something like that used to 371 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,839 be thrown in the mix, but it was really always just PCA and it 372 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,519 was Ozzie Millions. Both of those are gone. You could have had January 373 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,640 you kick off the Basify kicks off the poker schedule for the year. Then 374 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,319 you of course have the entire middle of it, you have June and July. 375 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,359 Then you also have BASIP Europe later on, right, So it's like 376 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,400 you have like three things you kind of control the whole year, like you're 377 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,279 the big dog. Whereas like this seemed like it was kind of just thrown 378 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,359 together, and you know, it was really just it was it was an 379 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,119 effort to just go head to head with the WPT, and I would just 380 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,400 rather see the two brands. Listen, you don't got to be buddy buddy. 381 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,559 I mean, I get it right, but you know, kind of 382 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:15,920 like I would liken it to how the NFL and NCAA football kind of like 383 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,559 it's like you know, NC douaba, Yeah, you can have the Saturdays, 384 00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:22,519 like you can have the Friday night game like we got Thursday, we 385 00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,960 got Sunday, Monday night. Like that's kind of like, you know, 386 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,359 we don't need to fight for those I there were some other events that wrapped 387 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,079 up, and there are there are actually what two more events going on at 388 00:26:34,079 --> 00:26:40,480 the WPT World Championship Festival. Still, you had the WPT Prime Championship that 389 00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,079 it had reached the final table. They run a little bit of a delay, 390 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,279 just a little bit of a reset here, ten five hundred and twelve 391 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:53,799 entries in this one. It actually cracked the top fifteen largest live poker tournaments 392 00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:57,160 of all time, which I updated the article on PGT dot com. I 393 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:03,319 think it jumped into fourteenth place. So I'm pretty sure that entire list was 394 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:08,839 all di disipy events nil until this event happened. So had a five million 395 00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:12,359 dollar guarantee. It got over ten million dollars in the price school. Calvin 396 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,759 Anderson. Everyone knows Calvin Anderson, a well known professional poker player. He 397 00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,920 won it for more than one point three million dollars. You had the WPT 398 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,200 Big One for one drop, I think we might spend a little bit of 399 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:32,000 time on this one one million dollar buying. WPT paired up with Big One 400 00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:37,000 with one job for the Big One for one job seventeen entries. What do 401 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:41,880 you think about that number? On the day, I said twenty two, 402 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,119 So it's even less than I thought with all the adjustments. It was tough 403 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:52,680 because there's at least two and a half three guys that would have played at 404 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,720 that made the World Championship final table. Yeah, yeah, there was. 405 00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:57,920 There was two guys for sure, Art to Mars Erosion and Ben he like 406 00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:03,920 for sure, right yeah, and then and then he played the super high 407 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,200 rollable so he's like the half guy that you're talking, Yeah, exactly. 408 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,079 And then there was also a twenty five k that was on and there was 409 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,720 some people stealing that running open was the chip leader in that entering day two. 410 00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:18,079 He ran deep, so like there was a lot of I think even 411 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,599 like even before the final table the WPT two World Championship, Alex Foxen's Yes, 412 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,119 Alex was was ran really deep in the World Championship, So so yeah, 413 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,319 I mean you probably missed out on. I would say you probably missed 414 00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:33,200 out on for sure three entries, if not a couple more, you know, 415 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,599 like if you get I don't know, how do people view Orpen these 416 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,880 days, Like do they view him as like more of the recreational type, 417 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,200 So if he plays, then maybe somebody that's on the fence is a little 418 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,160 bit more inclined to play. I don't know, Like justin Bonomo said, 419 00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:49,319 like he originally tweeted that he was, you know, started selling action. 420 00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:53,359 Then he tweeted later on that like, hey, I'm dropping mark up because 421 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,119 I don't think the field is going to be a soft and he was saying 422 00:28:56,119 --> 00:29:00,319 that he also heard that it might not even run. So like, if 423 00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:03,160 a couple of people get into this that he likes, does he then play? 424 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,119 You know, that's another one thing he did think. So, yeah, 425 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,119 so a couple of more fish as they were whales, however they want 426 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,960 to refer to it. Yeah, we might have seen Bonomo in Uh, 427 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,799 that's a tough part and it just probably probably falls a little bit on the 428 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:19,200 scheduling of the whole series. Maybe not having this on the back off of 429 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,000 the main event would have potentially got us twenty five, maybe even thirty plays. 430 00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:27,440 You never know. Yeah, no, for sure. I mean I 431 00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:33,079 think all things considered, you know, I think seventeen is obviously a decent 432 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:40,440 number for a million dollar buy in. I I don't know. I originally 433 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,519 thought it was going to do extremely well, might draw like thirty. Then 434 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,519 kind of as we got close, just talking to some people, some people 435 00:29:47,559 --> 00:29:48,759 were like, I don't know if it's going to run. I don't know 436 00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:52,880 if it's gonna get six entries like all that that sort of stuff. So 437 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,720 another person that was, you know, at least supposed to play, but 438 00:29:56,039 --> 00:30:00,400 ended up not playing, Ethan Yao aka Rampage. You know, he was 439 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,759 talking about how he's gonna fire, he's gonna sell money on State Kings, 440 00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:07,000 all that sort of stuff. He didn't get in there. So so yeah, 441 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,559 I mean, I think they were definitely missing, you know a handful 442 00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:12,079 of entries that that could have pushed this thing up over twenty entries total. 443 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,160 That said, seventeen entries. The winner was Mikita bad Ziakowski. He took 444 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:26,319 home more than seven point one million dollars. He beat is It Mario Mossbeck 445 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:32,680 in second place. Dan Smith finished in third. Isaac Hackson. Isaac Hackson, 446 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,200 who's been having an outrageously good year on the Felt, took home one 447 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,000 point two million dollars. Nick Partangela was the bubble boy. Unfortunately. I 448 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,400 think it was Ace Queen into Ace King for that. So yeah, that's 449 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,480 the the WPT big one for one job. I don't know what their plans 450 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,160 or appetite would be to run this one back next year. I would say 451 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:02,559 no, it just seems like, I don't know, it didn't hit like 452 00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:06,920 I think a lot of people thought it might hit, So I think maybe 453 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,039 they you know, this one just doesn't happen. But I've always, even 454 00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:11,680 going back to the WSP ones that had it, I was always like, 455 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,319 this needs to have kind of a World Cup type of feel where you do 456 00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:18,880 it every two or three or four years, because that's you just need that 457 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,920 sort of stuff. With a million dollar buying. You can't just be slapping 458 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,680 him out there every single year. An event that you and I have both 459 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:33,720 said that the w SP needs to add a senior's high roller ten thousand dollars 460 00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:37,160 buy in what was it fifty in higher for this one. I think it 461 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,559 was fifty dollars. So the WPT had one ten thousand dollars buying five hundred 462 00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,119 thousand dollars guarantee smashed. They tripled it. They got one hundred and sixty 463 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:51,880 two entries. Daniel Lowry takes it home. The original guarantee on the prize 464 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,680 pull is five hundred k. Lowry almost won that for first place, three 465 00:31:55,759 --> 00:32:00,519 hundred and ninety four thousand dollars and change for taking it down. So very 466 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:04,000 cool event here, you know, I know, one sixty two. Like 467 00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:06,000 you hear that number, You're like, oh, it's not that big. 468 00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:08,920 I mean that's big for an event that is limited, right, I mean 469 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:15,519 you're only drawn from people that you know have our fifty and plus and then 470 00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:17,920 they also have to have ten thousand dollars in higher So I like it. 471 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,519 You and I said over the summer that the WASP should add one of these. 472 00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:24,359 I definitely think that they should. You know, I think that the 473 00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:29,480 ws AP number would probably be well over two hundred, you know, just 474 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,000 because WSP just crushes. They might even get over three hundred. I mean, 475 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,119 look what the seniors and the super seniors does, right, yeah, 476 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,559 I mean you could do. I think a senior's high roller for sure. 477 00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:43,880 At the dobasp so that would be cool. The WPT Alpha eight returned. 478 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,960 I have no idea when the Alpha eight was last held. I just know 479 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:55,000 that it's back and it's different. So this Alpha eight twenty sixteen I think 480 00:32:55,079 --> 00:33:00,440 was the last one. Yeah, I mean it's listen. I have no 481 00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:01,880 idea what this was called Alpha eight, Like, I don't know why they 482 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,839 just didn't call it like the fifty K like super high roller or high roller 483 00:33:07,119 --> 00:33:10,559 or whatever the heck. I mean this seems like, in a way an 484 00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:14,720 insult to the Alpha eight brand that it was. I mean, the Alpha 485 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:22,480 was an entire like tour. It had those twenty special tables, the tables, 486 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,640 everything was like white, you know, like it was super pure. 487 00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:30,119 It was luxurious, like it was the best of the best, like, 488 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,680 and it had one hundred thousand dollars buying. So this they bring it back, 489 00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,440 it's just put into the one drop section. Doesn't like have any special 490 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,400 branding of its own other than the trophy, which the trophy is insane by 491 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,000 the way, And it had a fifty K buy in, which I don't 492 00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:51,119 like either. If you drop the buy in, you gotta go to eighty 493 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,880 eight eight hundred and eighty eight dollars, right, isn't that the play? 494 00:33:53,039 --> 00:34:00,440 Alpha eight do the eights? I mean, isn't that the play anyway? 495 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,440 Ren Lynn aka Tony Lynn wins it one million and forty five thousand dollars. 496 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,199 He beat Jason Kuhn and heads up play Jason Kuhon taking you know, six 497 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:15,719 hundred and seventy thousand dollars for his finish. Looking down the leaderboard, eighth 498 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,159 place, Isaac Aston, I mean, this guy, this guy this year, 499 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,840 I mean, just On, I gotta look up how much he's won 500 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:29,719 this year. If Hendon models like seven million, I mean it has to 501 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,920 be more. I'm saying it's gotta be more. I mean, if if 502 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,199 the Internet decides to work in my house, that's sixteen point nine yeah, 503 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:44,280 seventeen million. Yeah yeah, he's out of control. Out of seven million 504 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,480 in our events. That's what I was thinking. He's won everything, everything, 505 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,679 I mean literally everything. I mean, it's unbelievable. This guy this 506 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:59,480 year. I mean, I'm surprised he didn't win. He's his year. 507 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,760 Just he's twenty twenty three, would be sixty second on the all time money 508 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:08,320 list. Yeah, I mean, it's just banana. It's bananas. How 509 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,519 how big the money is I forget who you and I said, like, 510 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,159 could could be like a dark horse to like take over the the all time 511 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:21,320 moneyless lead. I want to say I might have said taxon, but I 512 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:29,000 can't remember. But who the heck knows? But absolutely a couple other just 513 00:35:29,119 --> 00:35:34,480 quick highlights from the series. Mike Lea seems to be back, just comes 514 00:35:34,519 --> 00:35:37,559 back. He wins the twenty two hundred dollars eight game, then he wins 515 00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:42,079 the one thousand dollars plo, so he's back. Max Coleman, you know, 516 00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:45,480 we know Max Coleman of course from the the PGT stuff. He won 517 00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:51,199 the eleven hundred dollars horse event. You had Nathan Gamble wins the eleven eight 518 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,360 events. You had Nick Papillo, who's in the running for what is it, 519 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,880 like Major Player of the Year or something like that, and he won 520 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,480 the three thousand dollars Dealers Choice Tournaments. And then you had a you had 521 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,679 a ten thousand, five hundred dollars potlam in Omaha tournament. Kwan Zoo chopped 522 00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:10,679 it with Jesse Loanis. Jesse Loanis Is he's been on fire for what two 523 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:16,800 three years now pretty much especially and then what else did we have we there 524 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,320 was a there was a three K, so there was a three I played 525 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,039 this three K. There was a three K with a what was the guarantee? 526 00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:25,320 Three million dollars. They got more than six million dollars in the prize 527 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,280 school. First place was over a million, out of out of control. 528 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,079 Then they have running right now. Our buddy Jeff Platt made day two. 529 00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:37,599 Our buddy Ben Ludlow made day two. Both have since busted, but shout 530 00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:43,199 out to them for finding a cash. They had a sixteen hundred dollars two 531 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,760 million dollar guarantee kind of like a you know, a Closer Slash Series Savor 532 00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:52,239 event in a way. You know, we I was joking at the table 533 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,000 that I played at early on. You know, we were all like, 534 00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:58,119 yeah, this is like everyone's down right, Like one guy was up at 535 00:36:58,119 --> 00:37:00,280 the table. One guy, I believe it. His name is Jordan Miller. 536 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:06,119 He's up. Everyone else is fucking buried, you know. So So 537 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,119 anyway, sixteen hundred dollars buy and had three starting flights, two million dollar 538 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,639 prize school. They got one of three million dollars in the prize school. 539 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,679 The two million dollars was guarantee. They got one of three million dollars in 540 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,079 their first places that were five hundred K. I mean, it's just like 541 00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:21,880 it's just freaking bananas. Then they got they got a ten K what high 542 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,679 roller running as well that got more than one hundred entries. It's like three 543 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,239 hundred or four hundred k up top for the winner. So I mean it's 544 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,119 just like everything is just bananas at this series. I mean, it's just 545 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,079 it's just absolutely wild. Like it's kind of in a way a bummer that 546 00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:40,480 they missed on the forty million when everything else is just smashing. But overall, 547 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,280 just a really really incredible series. You know, I'm already like ready 548 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,320 to get back in there and battle at the next one. You know, 549 00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:58,440 I really think the WPT has built something really really awesome here alongside win because 550 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,679 you know, wins just win's kind of crazy. Like I mean, I 551 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,559 know, you know, the guys over at the win I know them as 552 00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:08,079 well, not as much as you, but just just how much like the 553 00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:15,000 win has climbed up the like the tournament poker venue ranks. Yeah, like 554 00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:17,159 it used to be like in like I don't know how many years ago, 555 00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:21,800 three four or five years ago, like the premiere I'm not counting the World 556 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,760 Series of Poker just because you just can't really count the World Series of pop 557 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,320 It's just such it's just so big and and the best that you just can't 558 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,280 ever count it. But like the other stuff, like it was always seminal. 559 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,440 Right now, I feel like it's the win, Like the win is 560 00:38:34,519 --> 00:38:39,000 number one, and even in Vegas specifically it was, it was Venetian for 561 00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:44,159 a long time. Now it's for sure the win. Like the Win has 562 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,559 the best tournaments. They they run them consistently. The venue is superb, 563 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,679 they have incredible staff, even even the staff and the dealers that they had 564 00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:58,719 to add to their team for this series. Like a lot of the guys 565 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,440 are some of the best guys that are at Like we saw a lot of 566 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:06,000 those guys. The dealers were on points, Like I mean, there might 567 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,679 have been like one or two times a dealer was like I don't know, 568 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,440 dozing off, I guess, or not paying attention and like didn't like do 569 00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:17,360 something correctly. But like there was no glaring mistakes, like nothing like that 570 00:39:17,559 --> 00:39:21,840 like that. I and I played a lot like there was nothing really bad. 571 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,320 I didn't hear anything bad from a lot of people, so yeah, 572 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,960 I mean I thought, or I think what they're what they've built overalls as 573 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,719 a tournament venue in poker, is is the best of the best right now. 574 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,599 Like, I don't know what you know really tops it. I mean 575 00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:40,800 maybe Seminole still competes with it is right there, but the win is right 576 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,280 there, if not better at this point. So it's it's pretty crazy, 577 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,000 you know. So I think the win is really setting the bar. Like 578 00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:53,880 if you're a I don't know, if you're just a venue in general within 579 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:59,679 Vegas, like I would say if you're Resorts World because they're partnered with the 580 00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:02,360 any like if you're Aria because you're kind of partnered with us, you're also 581 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,239 partnered with bet MGM. I mean like when win is like what you're striving 582 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,800 to be, right, I mean, that's that's what it what the best 583 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,000 of the best is. So it's cool to see. It's cool to have 584 00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,840 that in our backyard. So yeah, what they've built in conjunction with the 585 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,440 World Popra Tour here I think is really awesome. Hopefully I mentioned the three 586 00:40:22,519 --> 00:40:27,719 year contractor a three year deal that we all have come to know that they 587 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,280 have. I hope it extends much beyond that, like, I hope this 588 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,840 isn't just three years. I know, but you know, sometimes you know, 589 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,840 we're not necessarily the higher ups in these rooms. You know, maybe 590 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,440 things aren't working out as as sweet as we see them on the front, 591 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,199 and who knows, you know, I'm just saying, I hope this lasts 592 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,159 kind of forever. Like you know, I think it's it's good, it's 593 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,960 it's great. So yeah, I mean, in a perfect world, honestly, 594 00:40:52,039 --> 00:40:54,719 I would love to have the win in December and Las Vegas. I 595 00:40:54,760 --> 00:41:00,400 would love to have ept progue in the time slot that it is because I 596 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,360 think those are established and far enough apart from each other that they work. 597 00:41:05,519 --> 00:41:07,480 And then I would have WSP Paradise in January, which I think would be 598 00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:12,440 absolutely a banger of success. Like that would be something that like I would 599 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,480 be looking to like go for like qualifying CLUBGG, like qualifying WSP dot com 600 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,719 like stuff like that. But if I know that I can just play the 601 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,599 stuff at the wind and hang here, well then you know what's really the 602 00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:24,920 point. But if it's at a different time, like yeah, like that'd 603 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,679 be pretty sweet, you know, And I think I think there's kind of 604 00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:32,119 that void as we mentioned earlier, without PCA, without Ozzie millions to fill 605 00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:36,079 that January window. And I think a lot of people in January, a 606 00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:37,719 lot of people in the Northeast, a lot of people around the US in 607 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,960 general, are kind of looking to get the hell out of the weather and 608 00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:44,079 go somewhere where it's a bit warmer. So so yeah, so that's what 609 00:41:44,159 --> 00:41:46,920 I I think I would do there. All right, speaking of ept progue, 610 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,159 let's slide on over and wrap up their series over there. The fifty 611 00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:55,480 three hundred dollars no limit hold, the main event, had a record setting 612 00:41:55,519 --> 00:42:00,880 field. What was it, fourteen hundred entries or something like that, I 613 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,679 don't know. I mean they set a record, beat the record that was 614 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:10,079 previously held by last year's event. Winning the tournament was irishman Padrick O'Neill. 615 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:16,000 He took home a bit over one million euros equates to just over one point 616 00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:21,480 one million dollars. He beat John Kite in heads up play. You had 617 00:42:21,519 --> 00:42:24,800 Marley Spraggue taking home eighth place for one hundred and twenty three thousand, six 618 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:32,000 hundred euros. Now Ferrell finished in sixteenth place, Tony Mueller seventeenth place, 619 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:38,519 Steve A. Dwyer nineteenth place. So Ramon Callias he won the first PSBC 620 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:44,480 he took home or he took twentieth place. So really good turnout in Prague. 621 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,639 Every time I see Prague, I see it in the winter, I've 622 00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:51,079 been there a few times. It gives me fomo that I want to go 623 00:42:51,159 --> 00:42:55,199 back. Just the EBTs are incredibly run tournaments. They got a lot of 624 00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:00,079 value, a lot of different stuff that you can play. And then being 625 00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:04,559 in Prague in December, you know, in the middle of the holiday season, 626 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:09,199 is absolutely tremendous. So if that's something you are looking forward to to 627 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:14,119 doing in the future, I would encourage you to do so, because EPT 628 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:19,679 Progue is pretty incredible. Just looking through kind of some of the other stuff 629 00:43:19,679 --> 00:43:22,440 that was on the schedule from EPT Progue. You had and just Niemuth won. 630 00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:25,360 He won a five hundred dollars tournament. What's he doing? A thousand 631 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:30,519 dollars tournament? One thousand dollars hyper Turbot knockout freeze out, like the last 632 00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:36,880 tournament that I would expect to be playing. He he won it. There 633 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,039 was a bunch of high rollers on here as well. You had Tone Tone 634 00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:43,920 Mulder won the twenty five k you had only Chmian won another twenty five k. 635 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:50,559 Nicholas Astett won a ten thousan two hundred dollars hyper Turbo Knockout freeze Out, 636 00:43:50,679 --> 00:43:54,000 So a lot of stuff going on that took place over at Prague. 637 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,400 What was the highest buy in here? Did they have a fifty k? 638 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,159 He made twenty five They did have a fifty k. The EPT Super high 639 00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:06,960 Roller Tomas Adamski won that. I thought it was a really good ending to 640 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,239 the year overall. You know, WPT World Championship, we talked a lot 641 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:15,000 about that. If you haven't seen the Final Table live Steam, you can 642 00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:19,480 find it on WPT's YouTube channel. I would highly encourage you to do so, 643 00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:23,199 even if you did get spoiled from some of the stuff we've said here. 644 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:29,119 I think it's certainly worth the watch, you know, it's it's a 645 00:44:29,199 --> 00:44:32,199 really really good watch overall, especially for anyone who is, you know, 646 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,760 trying to improve their game, because you can see a lot of really high 647 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,039 level play. Again, Jesse Sylvia does a really really good job of explaining 648 00:44:40,119 --> 00:44:45,480 everything as it's happening. Henry Kilbain did a really good job of like asking 649 00:44:45,559 --> 00:44:49,440 him the right question, so Jesse answered things, you know, pointed to 650 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,719 what was going on at the table. So yeah, I would highly encourage 651 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,199 you to check that stuff out. I think a heads up chop for Thomas 652 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:05,119 four hundred K. Yeah, okay. I think in terms of us late 653 00:45:05,199 --> 00:45:08,360 next week, I think we should do an episode if you're around, if 654 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:16,719 you're willing, among no plans just because listen for Tim and I, January 655 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:21,840 is gonna be freaking massive, like it work wise, and not that you 656 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,400 guys care about our work necessarily, you care about the stuff that we do 657 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:29,320 because you're gonna hopefully consume it. If you don't care, you can just 658 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:30,480 turn this off and tell us to have off. Not a big deal. 659 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:37,559 But we have the conclusion to the twenty twenty three PGT season, albeit happening 660 00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:43,000 in early twenty twenty four whatever. We have the Last Chance series, which 661 00:45:43,039 --> 00:45:46,800 is January tewond through seventh. It's a series of ten K events. We're 662 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:52,039 going to be streaming them all and you know, as we've talked about before, 663 00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:57,559 it's there's a lot on the line. Like the first thing is you 664 00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:00,039 have Isaac Hackson's on top of the leaderboard. Is he gonna makeain his position 665 00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:04,960 at the top of the leaderboard. That, of course, whoever wins the 666 00:46:05,039 --> 00:46:07,400 leaderboard for the season wins a fifty thousand dollars bonus, so there is a 667 00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:13,320 financial element there at play. That person will also go into the PGT Championship 668 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,599 with the most chips. Then you have people who are within the top forty 669 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,440 who are likely going to qualify for the PGT Championship Million Dollar Free World, 670 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:28,360 but are trying to better their position because points equal starting chips in the event. 671 00:46:28,639 --> 00:46:30,679 Okay, so the better that you do, the more points that you 672 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,800 have, the more chips you're going to start the PGT Championship with. You're 673 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,639 gonna have people at the bottom of the forty that don't want to get knocked 674 00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:39,360 out. You're going to have people that are just right outside the top forty 675 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:44,360 that are going to try and to get in. Then you have two dream 676 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,760 seats, so people you like basically Tim could show up win a dream seat 677 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,599 and like he could get in even though he hasn't done anything on the PGT 678 00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:54,840 all season, and that's gonna work. Where we do We regularly do these 679 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,800 series leaderboards. I think a lot of people know about them. But instead 680 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:05,199 of having money up top for the winner. The top two point earners from 681 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:12,079 this series, the Last Chance Series who aren't already qualified for the PGT Championship, 682 00:47:12,119 --> 00:47:15,159 those two people will win seats to go directly into the event. So 683 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:21,880 if you're someone who's grinded a lot of our events but hasn't had the success 684 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,719 that maybe you wanted, you know, you're sitting in like, I don't 685 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,840 know, one hundredth place and you're probably not going to make a run unless 686 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,679 you win like four events to finish in inside the top forty. Well, 687 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,920 you could just perform extremely well this series, be the highest finisher, and 688 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,440 you can get in that way. So it's called last Chance for a reason. 689 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,039 This is the last chance to get him. That's all going to build 690 00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:45,599 right up to the PGT Championship that's happening January ninth and tenth, going to 691 00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:47,960 be live streaming that one right after that was it? We take one day 692 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,719 off and then we come back two days off. Okay, two days off, 693 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,239 oh, no days off even but Jesus Christ, you're killing me here. 694 00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,639 No days off. We go right into a new series that put together 695 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:06,000 PGT Kickoff. So we got that, which is what is that double points? 696 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,760 Double points? Five thousand dollars buy ins today the all two day events. 697 00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:14,719 Yeah, try and get some new blood out there playing these PGT events. 698 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,440 Maybe they get a little bit of a boost on the leaderboard to start 699 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:21,480 the season, and then that can propel them to planing some stuff going forward. 700 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,159 And then what is it, a week or two or so after PGT 701 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,039 kickoff, we got Poker Girl Cup. I mean it's just like bang, 702 00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:30,960 bang bang. I think I looked at it, and we have like it's 703 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:36,880 like eighteen to twenty days of live streaming in January, not including like the 704 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,880 three days that of Poker Girl Cup that go into February. So there's a 705 00:48:42,039 --> 00:48:45,440 crap ton of streaming that we're doing on poker gro and the Poker Go YouTube 706 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:50,920 channel in January. So get ready for it. Enjoy your holidays, enjoy 707 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,920 New Year's because once January second rules around, we are, you know, 708 00:48:54,039 --> 00:48:57,239 pedal to the metal, And I cannot wait.
