new episode of the Poker Go Podcast.

2
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.199
My name is Donnie Peters. I
am joined by my guy Tim Duckworth.

3
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.399
How are you doing? I'm ready

4
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.640
ever recorded this late before. Over
there? What do you? What are

5
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.440
you? What are you doing?
Huh? So, I'm just just tired.

6
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.920
It's been a long, long day
of nothing, A long day of

7
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.359
nothing. Guys, I'm ready for
are you sleep? Well? It's Friday.

8
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.920
It counts. Everyone took today off, you know it. I mean

9
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:49.600
most people take eighty percent of the
year off. All right, So we

10
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.560
are going to wrap up the World
Poker Tool World Championship. That's the lead

11
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.039
story here on this episode of the
podcast. We're also going to touch on

12
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:02.719
ept progue because last time we left
you guys with eighty five entries left in

13
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.680
the main event over in Prague,
they did get down to a winner.

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.480
So we'll touch on that and then
we'll get out of here. You know,

30
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.400
Two things, as I mentioned,
WPT World Championship Festival and EPT progue.

31
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.879
First things first, WPT World Championship
Festival. 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. It's gonna be a lot

709
00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.039
of fun. Tim's going to be
there as well, doing a lot a

710
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:05.719
lot of the player liaison, PGG
commissioner and live reporting stuff. So yeah,

711
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:08.599
I can't wait. All Right,
that's gonna do it for us.

712
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:15.480
Sounds good. Have a good holidays
buddy, Talk to you later. JA

713
