00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,039
Hello, everyone, Welcome to a
brand new episode of the Poker Growth Podcast.

2
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,600
And this episode is special because hot
off the press, the World Series

3
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,280
of Poker schedule is here for twenty
twenty four. It is like Christmas morning,

4
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,840
You're unwrapping the biggest gift. It's
the best thing for poker players other

5
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,960
than obviously probably playing in the bracelet
events come the summertime, but you know,

6
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,439
unwrapping this thing, diving into it
every single year. I know a

7
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:48,039
lot of people, as have Tim
and I have been anticipating the twenty twenty

8
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,640
four WSOP schedule, and that is
all we're going to be talking about today.

9
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:54,960
My name is Donny Peters. His
name is Tim Duckworth. Tim,

10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,320
what are you doing? By the
way you're in your tesla? What is

11
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:02,079
happening? I mean, he doesn't
want to bother his family. The guy

12
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,519
is just out of control. Hey
man, look, don't worry about where

13
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:10,319
I am. Let's just talk about
the greatest day of the year so far.

14
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:15,519
I already know that when we send
this to producer rich Ryan, he's

15
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,920
going to be yelling at you for
what is happening. But it doesn't matter.

16
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,079
Nonetheless, we are here to talk
about the twenty twenty four WSP schedule.

17
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,920
So here's here's what we knew.
We knew that the schedule was or

18
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,879
sorry, the w SIP was taking
place from May twenty eighth to July seventeenth.

19
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,000
We knew that the WSP main event
dates were July third through July seventeenth.

20
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,200
We knew that a lot of the
popular mainstays that are on the WSP

21
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,840
schedule every single year, things such
as the Monster Stack, the Mystery Millions,

22
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,000
the Millionaire Maker, are all going
to return, like they already.

23
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,640
They put all that stuff out there, right, We've just been waiting for

24
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,319
the whole thing. Here's what we
got. Kind of quick overview. Then

25
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:05,280
then timill Tim will dive into it
and and bear with us a little bit

26
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:09,759
here because we're pretty much doing this
on the fly. We the schedule dropped

27
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,879
and we kind of just pressed record, and I mean, that's all.

28
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,560
No I've had like that. I've
had a tiny bit of coffee. Okay,

29
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,719
I haven't had, you know,
enough coffee to probably properly go through

30
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:28,560
this, but you know, it's
it's fun. You know, we're gonna're

31
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,520
gonna dive into it and kind of
do it, do it live ninety nine,

32
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:38,199
Live Gold raised the tournaments as part
of I'm already mad already they didn't

33
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:43,039
do a hundred? Yeah, like, come on, one hundred? I

34
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,919
feel it clean, beautiful, nothing. I feel like I feel like they

35
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,719
have to be waiting for something for
a hundred, because why wouldn't you just

36
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:58,159
go to a hundred. But also
why didn't you just go to one hundred

37
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,120
last year the year before? You
know what? It's like, what did

38
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,120
they have last year ninety five?
The year before that they had eight eighty

39
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,280
eight I think. So it's like
we're talking about. Yeah, they did

40
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,599
mention in the press release that dibisip
dot com Gold Bracelet events are soon to

41
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:19,120
be announced or to be announced,
So those will be coming down the pipeline

42
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:23,000
eventually, and as we talked about
on the last episode, we'll guessing that

43
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,159
they're probably gonna, you know,
do ones for Pennsylvania, do ones for

44
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,159
Michigan, do ones for Nevada,
slash New Jersey, et cetera. So

45
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,639
when that stuff happens, when that
news drops, you know, we'll touch

46
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,000
on it as well. But for
this, you know, I mean the

47
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,479
Live Gold bracelet events, I mean
that's the that's what everyone's here for,

48
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,240
right. I mean, that's like
coming to Las Vegas now on the Las

49
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Vegas Strip, at Horseshoe Las Vegas, at Paris, Las Vegas, like

50
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,960
that, that's that's what you're there
for, walking those hallways, buying in,

51
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,039
getting the ticket, finding your seat, riffling those chips. Hopefully Daniel

52
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,280
Legrand or Phil Helmley sits down your
table like that's what it's about, and

53
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:08,120
then for a select group of people, getting your hands on that gold at

54
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:12,000
the end of the day. So, as we said ninety nine Goal Brace

55
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,519
events, Tim is already mad.
I'm not whatever. It kicks off in

56
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:21,959
kind of an interesting fashion, so
I'm gonna like kind of bounce back and

57
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,879
forth between like the schedule. I
have. I printed out the press release.

58
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,759
I went old school, Tim.
I printed out the press release and

59
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,879
I quickly ripped through it with a
highlighter. Okay, this is like this

60
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,879
is like don Donnie back in high
school. Okay, like this is how

61
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,560
I used to like study and stuff. So anyway, it kicks off in

62
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,879
an interesting fashion. And I say
that because it's kicking off with with kind

63
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,199
of two things. Right at the
top, it has two I mean the

64
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,360
brand new events, right, I
mean this, Yeah, this five thousand

65
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:57,079
dollars Champions Reunion, no limit,
hold them freeze out. Okay, so

66
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,959
there's that. Then they also have
the a five five hundred dollars WSP Kickoff

67
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,920
Nolaman hold them freeze Out, So
kicking off in a big way with two

68
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,439
freeze out events. Of course,
up there at the front is that five

69
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,680
hundred dollars buying casino employees event.
That one is you know, it's it's

70
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,519
closed off for casino employees only,
so you know, people tend to kind

71
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:17,199
of not talk about that one as
much, although that one's usually the one

72
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,519
that kind of kicks everything off,
gets people in the building, et cetera.

73
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:28,959
But yeah, this Champions Reunion.
So it's interesting because it's a five

74
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:32,160
thousand dollars buying so, you know, a pretty big price point if in

75
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,160
this tournament if you knock out a
former WICP Main event champion. So if

76
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,240
I go play and I bust Jamie
Gold's ass, I'm going to receive an

77
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,560
automatic entry into the twenty twenty four
WSIP main Events. So essentially, every

78
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,279
WICP Main Event champion that plays in
this tournament has a ten thousand dollars bounty

79
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:57,920
on their head, right, So
there's that. Now. When when I

80
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,480
first heard about it and like read
the schedule, I read the schedule before.

81
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,560
I just clicked on the schedule before
I read the press release, right,

82
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,600
so I click on the schedule,
I'm like, Okay, What's I'm

83
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:10,160
going in? It says, you
know, knocking a man event champion receive

84
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:13,519
a seat to the twenty twenty four
min event. First thing that popped in

85
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,519
my mind was, well, how
many main event champions are gonna play?

86
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,720
Right? Sick six are gonna play? That's my but that's it. But

87
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:26,680
I kind of thought the same thing. Plus, it's also like, you

88
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,399
know, some of the main event
champions, like I mean, I said

89
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:31,079
Jamie Gold, so we'll just use
him as an example, even even Daniel

90
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:35,279
Winden from last year. I mean, you know, Daniel Wineman has been

91
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:39,680
scarce in terms of playing poker now
that he's won the double sibmin event,

92
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,800
right, Jamie Gold as well,
Chris Moneymaker, same sort of thing.

93
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:45,839
So, like, are these guys
gonna be out there on May twenty eighth

94
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:48,120
grinding a full summer? I don't
know, you know, not Phil,

95
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:56,279
Phil Helmet, yes, but Tim
All Living doubas be main event champions are

96
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,240
given a free entry to play in
this event. So if you show up

97
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,199
now, you show up your Jamie
Gold, you show up your Chris money

98
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,360
Maker on May twenty, if you
show up your Phil Hellmuth, you're getting

99
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,480
a five k C. I mean, and if this draws pretty well,

100
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,040
that could ultimately turn into a good
chunk of change if you go on to

101
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:19,199
win it. So that's pretty good
just to start things off, I have

102
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:27,160
I have a follow up go ahead. It says main event champion right now,

103
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,920
WSP Europe, WSP Paradise, WSP
Asia Pacific, WSP Online. Are

104
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,319
they going to count as the main
event champion? That is very interesting.

105
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:44,480
I think we will either need to
one ask a WSP official or to wait

106
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:46,560
for the official structure sheet. One
of those two things. I think we

107
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,959
can do a former, probably sooner
than we get the structure sheet. So

108
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:55,759
I would lean to know, just
because you know, you mentioned we're like

109
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:59,839
they're going to pay for everyone.
We're going to add Europe, Paradise Online,

110
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:03,560
Asia Pacific. You know that's a
lot more money they have to spend

111
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,120
to put these people in. But
also when they get knocked out ten K

112
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,800
on the back end, So every
champion is a fifteen K spend for the

113
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:16,839
WSP. So I would probably guess
that when not they're not going to include

114
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,079
Europe, Asia Pacific or Paradise.
Yeah, I mean, it'll be interesting

115
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:22,240
to see. But you know,
either way, I think, you know,

116
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,639
it's probably be good to find out
that information, you know, just

117
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,519
to kind of put it out there
and be clear. This this w SP

118
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,759
kickoff. Nolan Holdan frees out this
five hundred dollars buying one. So it's

119
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,480
in a way, it's kind of
like an appetizer, right, And I'll

120
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,480
say that it's an appetizer, and
then the main course is the one thousand

121
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,080
dollars buy and Mystery millions tournament.
To me, that's the real kickoff,

122
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,879
right like that, that's the tournament
that that's the one. It's obviously gotten

123
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:56,000
a lot of buzz in recent years. This year again they running it back

124
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,759
with the top bounty guaranteed at one
million dollars. They're also guaranteeing a million

125
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:09,320
dollars for first place. Last year, this tournament was the sixth largest turnout

126
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:15,320
in live tournament history, with eighteen
eighty eight entries. Yeah, Tyler Brown

127
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,000
won it for a million dollars.
Pretty crazy there. They're gonna have four

128
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:26,159
starting fights May thirtieth through June second. I mean, I mean this,

129
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:30,480
this one, it sets the tone
for the summer for me, right,

130
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,679
Like, if this, if this
comes out of the gate and I'm guessing

131
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,320
it's gonna push twenty thousand entries,
I mean, we're we're in for one

132
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:43,919
hell of a summer, right and
and and you know, within this press

133
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,639
release, I think a couple different
times they've they've mentioned how last year was

134
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:52,519
a record setter and thebasity always pushes
to do better than next year. Says

135
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,679
that their motto is bigger and better. So I would certainly expect them to

136
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:00,200
try and break the numbers that they
set last year, and it probably we

137
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,759
we'll start here with this Mystery Millions
event, make it the biggest Mystery Millions

138
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:07,320
event that they've had. So they
got a top eighteen one and eighty eight

139
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,720
entries. The way that the WSP
draws every single year, there's probably a

140
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:15,080
pretty good chance of that. And
if it does, you know, I

141
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:22,480
think like we're cooking, right and
ultimately we're cooking towards another record setting WSP

142
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,480
Main Events you know, we'll touch
on that a bit, but just right

143
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,679
now, ten thousand and forty three
entries last year when Daniel Weinman won it,

144
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,679
So kind of that's like the that's
the goal out of all of this.

145
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,440
But up front, you know,
this this tournament, I mean,

146
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:39,399
it always draws super well. People
are out there blasting away, so I

147
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:43,600
would expect that it draws well once
again. Now I will say that nothing

148
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,960
is guaranteed other than the million dollar
bounty prizing and the million dollar top prize.

149
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:52,799
So there's a chance that the number
isn't as big, right, There's

150
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,440
always a chance. So if it
comes out of the gate and it gets

151
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,600
fourteen thousand, still an extremely good
number. Fourteen thousand entries in a one

152
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,879
thousand dollars buying tournament is great,
right, But we might need to just

153
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,159
kind of temper our expectations for like
what we're going to expect for the full

154
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:13,039
summer, right, or maybe it's
more of like a slow build instead of

155
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:15,159
coming out of the gates firing.
You know, I don't know, I

156
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:18,240
mean this stuff, this stuff changes
every single week at the ws AP,

157
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:22,679
Right, how we're thinking about you
know, how the records of the field

158
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:24,799
sizes, all that sort of stuff. So it's just going to be interesting

159
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:30,039
to see how, you know,
first that five thousand dollars champions Reunion draws

160
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:37,279
and then also how this opening Mystery
Millions draws. So one other thing I'll

161
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,840
touch on and then we'll get into
I guess we can talk about like the

162
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:46,120
new events on the schedule. Kind
of early up top of the press release,

163
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,960
they mentioned offering nearly seven hundred tables, which immediately I saw that and

164
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,159
I was like, that sounds like
it's more than it had been because I

165
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:56,600
remember, you know, we used
to talk to some of the tournaments staff

166
00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:58,639
and like, you know, how
many tables are actually in this place,

167
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,440
what's the capacity? All that sort
of stuff, and you know we always

168
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,360
got some numbers. Nearly seven hundred
sounds more than I was always told.

169
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:11,279
And then if you look down at
Ty Stewart, the senior vice president and

170
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,480
executive director of the Dobasty, his
quote says, with our best schedule ever

171
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,559
and and this is the part I
want to hit on more than one hundred

172
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,799
additional poker tables. So yeah,
they're getting ready. I mean, you

173
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,440
do you want do you want the
inside of the inside of the let's go

174
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:33,360
here. It is that I am
Let's go of course I am a w

175
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:37,279
I'm the miss of w s P. If you guys listening at home,

176
00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:43,519
remember the Horseshoe poker room far and
of the Horseshoe. If there's a set

177
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,039
of escalators that go upstairs where there's
some ballrooms where they you know, have

178
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,600
shows. Is that what it's called
Drubilee? I couldn't remember the name,

179
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,799
but be that is a cafe downstairs
that you want? Yes, yeah,

180
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:03,399
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I believe it's that spot

181
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:09,120
is going to be the location for
the Deep Stacks. It was mentioned last

182
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,440
year by a few different staff members, and it's been mentioned I've ever heard

183
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,039
of this year. Where could you
put an extra hundred tables? That's a

184
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:22,639
lot of tables. I think they're
following through with that plan, sectioning off

185
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,960
that area for maybe it's not the
Deep Sacks, maybe it's cash games,

186
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,879
maybe it's something else, but deep
stacks makes a lot of sense. Or

187
00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:31,840
satellite or sit and go something that's
very don't need more than one hundred tables.

188
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,919
So I think that's where they're putting
it for us in the main ballroom.

189
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,399
I know we're figuring out the layouts. Maybe squeeze a couple more tables

190
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:45,960
in there for them. But yeah, I believe the Jubilee Theater or whatever

191
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,200
whatever that place is called. That's
interesting that you say. That's that's good

192
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,759
insight, and that's a good tie
in too. We'll talk about the new

193
00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:58,519
events that are on the schedule next. But one of those new events,

194
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:00,559
and I wasn't going to hit on
this one first, I'll hit on this

195
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,360
one first because I think it has
to do with what you're talking about.

196
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,559
Is So the Deep Stack Championship nolanan
Holdham event six hundred dollars buying is sponsored

197
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,480
this year by Poker News. Okay, So poker News is the pokernews dot

198
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:18,279
com, the company you and I
both used to work for. Okay,

199
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,440
So shout out the pan Pot,
shout out Chad Holloway and all those guys

200
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:28,039
over there. So Poker News Deep
Stack Championship Nolanman hold Them. It's event

201
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,480
number sixty two. It takes place
starting on June twenty fifth. In the

202
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:37,399
press release, they say it's going
to offer some special promotions to spotlight low

203
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:41,879
stakes grinders. What's interesting and how
it pertains to what I think you're kind

204
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:46,600
of talking about with that additional space
that could potentially be used. You know,

205
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,879
if true for the deep Stacks only, is that for this tournament from

206
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:56,519
for the first four weeks of the
WSP from May twenty eighth through June twenty

207
00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:00,840
fourth, players who participate in the
daily Deep Stacks at the two hundred,

208
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,840
two fifty and four hundred dollars price
points, they're gonna earn points and climb

209
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,000
leaderboards, and the top ten point
earners each week from those deep Stack tournaments

210
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:16,159
can win complementary seats to play in
this six hundred dollars Poker News Deep Stack

211
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,240
Championship. So if you're making you
can still buy into this hya you No,

212
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,120
you can still buy into the championship, yes, but you could possibly

213
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,480
you know, win a bunch of
seats, right, So what if there

214
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:33,440
if they're making a bigger push for
this event and for the deep stack tournaments,

215
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:37,000
like I'm talking about the daily deep
Stack tournaments right and having the point

216
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:41,600
leaderboard, it also filters into a
gold Bracelet event, right. Well,

217
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,840
in theory, you're probably gonna have
a better turnout for them, right,

218
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:48,879
So you're gonna need additional space and
It's also like, in a way,

219
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,519
those daily deep stack tournaments are kind
of like their own little series, and

220
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,039
they got their own little place to
go and play and do their thing.

221
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Right, So that's good. If
that is what's happening, that's good.

222
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,879
You know, not sure you know
how often you and I will will wander

223
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,759
way the heck over there because we
know where it is and it's every oh,

224
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,080
every day. Oh, we're going
to work it into our daily walk.

225
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,919
Okay, maybe we'll have how many
steps we we do always know,

226
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,279
like a one coffee shop that's kind
of by there, so we might as

227
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:18,639
well just go clean. I'm opting
our step minimum this year now that they're

228
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:22,399
adding a room, you know,
twenty thousand steps, no sweat, We're

229
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,759
going for thirty every freight, you
and me and thirty thousand coffees. Yeah,

230
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,360
so I think that that's that's interesting. Now, this isn't the first

231
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:36,480
time that we've had a title sponsor
for an event. I believe DraftKings did

232
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,240
one in the past, you know, eighty to a poker, I think

233
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:41,559
did the eighty or did the Crazy
eights event or the eighty eight event,

234
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,919
whatever the heck it was called GD
Poker's on the flip and go stuff like

235
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,639
that. So you know, this
isn't like something brand new that Poker News

236
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,759
is doing. But still, you
know, they're stepping out there and they're

237
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:53,840
probably gonna put a lot of emphasis
into this event and trying to get kind

238
00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:56,960
of, you know, some low
stakes players to move up in the ranks

239
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,240
and take a shot, you know, into a bracelet event, which you

240
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:03,039
know, at the end of the
day, that's kind of the story that

241
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,519
we all want to, you know
cover, you know, somebody going from

242
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:11,599
low buying accessible price point going up
ultimately winning a bracelet and then you know,

243
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,720
maybe eventually they become a star.
All right for the other new events,

244
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,599
And I have a couple of questions
here, I'm gonna lean on you

245
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,480
on because there's at least one event, if not two events that they listed

246
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:25,839
as new that I'm like, I
don't think these are new. But anyway,

247
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,440
they have a ten thousand dollars Big
O Championship. Okay, that's brand

248
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,640
new, right, and Big O's
like, I mean, these guys love

249
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,319
the Big O. So that starts
on June thirteenth. They have a fifth

250
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:44,400
Now this event, this event that
I'm about to say, I have no

251
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:48,039
idea how I feel about this one
fifteen hundred dollars buying mixed, no limit

252
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:53,920
hold them Slash pot limit Omaha,
double bored bomb pot Yeah. I mean

253
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,759
this is like Carnival game to the
max. Look, double borders is popular,

254
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,359
Bomb pops popular popular, no limit
hold and PLO mix very popular.

255
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:11,359
Now I'm talking from cash games.
Is this going to have a good transition

256
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,160
to tournaments? I'm not sure.
However, we will say this. We

257
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:18,519
know that new events at the World
Series always get great turnouts. People want

258
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:21,279
to just you know, the antsy
to try things. Look at the Badoogie

259
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,200
last year, look at the Big
O. So it's probably going to get

260
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,680
a good turnout. But I don't
think it's a straightforward games. I mean,

261
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,400
this is this is everyone anti's the
dealer puts out two flops and you

262
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:38,880
go. Sounds like this is basically
a variation of the what was it called

263
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,680
the antie only or the antie up
whatever they used to do back in the

264
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:48,720
Rio days. So I like them
trying new things, but I don't like

265
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:55,119
that there are these new events,
these new carnival ish events, you know,

266
00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:57,680
at the sacrifice of better events,
And I know, we're probably going

267
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,839
to touch on what they cut off. But that's what upsets me probably the

268
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,440
most about this, not the fact
that they're trying something new. I think

269
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:14,000
this event favors someone like a Dylan
wi Yeah, like, uh a,

270
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:18,279
so many bumpops hand? How many
hands of double board bumpoles? What I'm

271
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:21,680
saying is like, there's two there's
gonna be two boards out there starting with

272
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,319
two flops right now, Nolanan hold
them, Okay, but PLO, if

273
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:32,440
you're an experienced PLO player, you
understand hand ranges of your opponents, You

274
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:36,599
understand blockers, stuff like that.
Like, I feel like you're gonna be

275
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,920
at a big advantage. So somebody
like a Dylan Wiseman, somebody like it

276
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,160
you mentioned John Reardan, right,
like those guys who are very good at

277
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,559
Omaha, Alex Livingston, I can
throw and they're like, you know,

278
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:51,920
we can keep naming people, right, Josh Ari et cetera. Yeah,

279
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,119
Sean deeb like whatever you threw,
Phil Helmy can never or whatever Shawn dee

280
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,400
blah blah blah. Anyway, but
like they can obviously play. Nolan A

281
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,839
hold them very well. Right,
But like this is half and half so

282
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,680
I think it might favor someone like, you know, again like at Dylan

283
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,559
Wiseman, type of person who can
really like apply pressure when it's double board

284
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:17,279
of plo. Like that sounds just
bananas to me. So that's gonna be

285
00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:19,680
one. I'm I'm interested to see
how it goes. Again, not really

286
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,359
sure how I feel about it at
the end of the day, but you

287
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,240
know, we'll see what happens.
We talked about the Poker News event.

288
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,440
They are doing a Senior's high Roller
tim five thousand dollars buy in Love.

289
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,519
You know, they might have been
able to go up to ten k,

290
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,920
but you know, five thousand dollars
Senior high Roll. I still think this

291
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,039
one draws bananas. Like I mean, these these seniors events are out of

292
00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,920
control. Every single year, They're
like, they just get bigger and bigger

293
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,960
and bigger. It's wild. So
I would I would expect this Senior's high

294
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,720
Roll or does extremely well. Five
thousand dollars price point that starts on June

295
00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:59,000
twenty sixth. Now they have this
brand new event that they're calling the Independence

296
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:04,400
Day Celebration by in two starting flights. I believe I believe it's two starting

297
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,279
flights. Let me. See,
Yeah, flight ay on Wednesday, July

298
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:15,200
third, and that's notable because why
tim it's not July fourth? Well also

299
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,920
why and also it's the side of
the main event. Yeah, so that's

300
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,759
interesting. The timing of this one
is interesting, right Obviously, if you're

301
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:26,319
gonna call it the Independence Day celebration, you're putting it on Independence Day.

302
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:30,200
The second starting flight is on Thursday
July fourth, so also and on Independence

303
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:33,960
Day, which I think in this
case would make more sense because of where

304
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,240
the main event starts. Yeah,
so that's that's an interesting one. But

305
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,599
you know, I mean it's an
eight hundred dollars price point. It's it's

306
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:44,440
basically this is basically a rebranded deep
stack tournament that they have, right,

307
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,440
you know they have those yeah whatever, five hundred and six and or eight

308
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,200
dollars tournaments you know, all throughout
the summer that are goal bracelet events.

309
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:52,839
They always draw very well. So
I would expect, even though that this

310
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,119
does take place during the main events. I mean, one A and one

311
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,640
B for the waq Man event are
always a little bit lower. One A

312
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,279
low, one B being on July
fourth, probably pretty low overall. So

313
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,000
you know, I think this one
will it'll be fine, but it'll still

314
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:12,279
be interesting to see it out there. Now, this this tournament I thought

315
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:15,599
was like one of the best things
on this schedule. The next one that

316
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:19,680
I'm going to talk about, and
that is on main event Day one d

317
00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:26,400
Okay, which is July sixth,
at seven pm, they are starting a

318
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:30,000
two day, one thousand dollars noloan
hold them tournament. And I believe it

319
00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:33,720
that if I remember from the schedule
correctly, is thirty minute levels. So

320
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,680
I think that's cool. I mean, that's like one like you're going to

321
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,880
get a lot of sour people because
Day one d the TUMPS main event is

322
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,759
the biggest flight every single year,
that final starting flight, that final day

323
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:49,599
one starting flight, I should say, for the main event is always the

324
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:53,640
biggest. Right of course, with
that, a lot of people bust out.

325
00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:56,680
They're going to be sour. I
get it. You know, Tim

326
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,440
and I we get it. We've
both played the main event. We've bust

327
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,279
it out. It sucks. You're
going to go fire that one k right

328
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,279
for sure. Like you're gonna get
in there, you're gonna be annoyed,

329
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:08,920
you're gonna be blasting, You're gonna
try and get your money back. So

330
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,279
that's like a fun way to keep
people, you know, at the horseshoe

331
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:18,039
at Paris playing poker, playing it
up his bigal Brace event. So I

332
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:21,640
think that that event is it's got
good timing, you know. To be

333
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,680
honest, I think it's going to
be kind of a quicker event per ws

334
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,519
AP standards again, thirty minutes starting
or thirty minute levels, twenty thousand chip

335
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,319
starting stacks, so you know it'll
be a little bit quicker. But still

336
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:37,759
I think that that one times out
pretty well overall. So I like this

337
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,680
edition. I disagree with you.
Wow, you're a hater. Why why

338
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:45,440
do you disagree? I get where
you're going. I like the idea of

339
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:49,559
giving the people that have busted the
main event, these people in the horseshoe

340
00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:53,640
and pairs they're never allowed to leave, give the NonStop tournaments to play.

341
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,240
There's also people that have obviously kind
of ford a ten thousand dollars buying.

342
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,319
I just think we know what day
one day is, we know the headache,

343
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,240
we know it's going to be ten
handed. Now you're going to add

344
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,279
a one k on that day like
you're not? Yeah, but I don't

345
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:12,480
know, it's not even centemizing it'll
be ten handed. We just talked about

346
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,319
how they're going to add. They're
adding one hundred tables. Sure, yes,

347
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,039
you say that now, but when
there's a dealer shortage or something.

348
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,079
I didn't even go to ten last
year. Everyone was freaking about ten then

349
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,039
ever went ten handed last year.
I just think there's better ways to put

350
00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:30,480
this event on, like the next
day, you know, like, yeah,

351
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:33,759
show you bust a day one day, but day one day, you

352
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:37,559
can come back tomorrow. Another thing
that I like about this event is you

353
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:44,440
could essentially play this as a satellite. Yes too. It's true today two

354
00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:48,599
D of the WSP main event because
you can buy in on day to ABC

355
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,440
and day two D. I believe
they list it up to like about four

356
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,599
forty pm or whatever it is.
It's like it's like two levels into the

357
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,759
day, right, you know something
like that. It's the breaks, of

358
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:03,000
course, so supposed to break.
If this is a two day event and

359
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,759
it starts on one D, then
it should finish on to ABC that first

360
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,240
day two right, So in a
way, you could play this and kind

361
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,359
of as a satellite. So yeah, like you said, if there are

362
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,359
people out there who maybe they miss
some of the satellites. Maybe they don't

363
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,799
have time to get off come play
satellites. I don't know, whatever it

364
00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:23,640
is. You know, you could
fire one thousand dollars into this. Maybe

365
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,960
you make a deep run, you
know, cash for ten k and just

366
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,640
fire that right on into Day two
D of the WSP main event and go

367
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:33,960
that way. I mean that that
could be a thing that happens. So

368
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,400
I don't hate it. You know
again, I'm kind of just for like

369
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,799
trying to keep people in your tournament
series. So I like this one.

370
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,920
All right, another new one,
one thousand. I mean, this one's

371
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,240
going to be wild. One thousand
dollars. Mystery bounty PLO. I mean,

372
00:25:51,559 --> 00:25:53,000
this is great, good luck,
this is it's awesome, Yes,

373
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:59,400
but it's I feel I think it's
also the bounties for every every elimination,

374
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:03,519
right, I think that's what they
said in the What's no Way? I

375
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:07,599
mean, is that real? The
bound is always starting day two? Yeah?

376
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,920
Yeah, I know that's something.
Every player is a bounty on flight

377
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,559
A, that's what it says Mystery
Bounie partlament over half light A. Every

378
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:19,920
player is a bounty three day event. That's why I think maybe it's it

379
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:25,559
could be just one hundred dollars,
but it could be pretty small. I've

380
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:29,400
seen mystery boundies do that before,
where you know, everyone's a bounty,

381
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,160
but once you make day two,
that's when the real bounties are there.

382
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:37,759
Interesting, that's that's an interesting twist. I wonder how that's my guess.

383
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:42,039
It's probably two hundred dollars, maybe
one hundred dollars. You obviously got to

384
00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:45,559
think that everyone that survives is not
a bountie. So it's not everyone is

385
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,240
a bountie. It's only the people
that bust, right, So it's not

386
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,559
you know, maybe it's forty fifty
percent of the field, maybe maybe more.

387
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,759
Well, yeah, but doesn't every
does every player have to be a

388
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,400
mystery bounie. They're just a regular
bounty. No. I think it's saying

389
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,319
that if I knock you out on
day one A maybe I get one hundred

390
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:10,039
dollars, but the tournament's mystery bound
I know then the next day, so

391
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,839
it's a hybrid boundy. I think
it's a hybrid boundy. I don't know

392
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,599
if you can have mystery bounties with
moment tournament. By the way, the

393
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,079
hybrid boundary we didn't invent it.
It's a tournament that's existing. We invented

394
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:25,799
a tournament name Hybrid Bounty. That's
a terrible name. We're gonna start on

395
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,319
day one, you know what.
This is the new tournament. I'm gonna

396
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,039
digress for a second. We're gonna
start the tournament. Everyone's a bounty.

397
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:33,599
Then you get into a mystery bounding
and it's a p KO all in one.

398
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:40,759
So PG Wizard, mister commissioner,
the open, figure this one out.

399
00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:44,920
It's it's the opening pg T Bounty
series event, right, but the

400
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,960
hybrid let's go, No, we
need a better name. We need,

401
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,480
we need we can think of a
better name. We have we are smart

402
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,519
than miss. Yes, let's go. Yeah, let's do it. All

403
00:27:56,599 --> 00:28:00,200
right, So you got that one, then you have have so this one.

404
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,519
I thought. I don't know why
I thought they had this before,

405
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:04,559
but I have no idea. I
mean, you'll tell me ten thousand dollars

406
00:28:04,599 --> 00:28:10,279
eight game Championship, new event.
Okay, well, yes, they've never

407
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:14,079
had a ten k a game.
They have had an eight game at a

408
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,640
big buying you used to be called
the PPC, but as a standalone ten

409
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,359
K No, this is the first. This is a new event. Interesting

410
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,920
they also they also listed a five
thousand dollars eight handed nolanan hold them as

411
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,440
a new event, but I'm pretty
sure that they've had that before, and

412
00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:33,200
maybe not last year, but yeah, like the year before. Sometimes you'll

413
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,960
see on the structure sheet for like
these events, it'll say, like you'll

414
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,279
look up the structure for a tournament, it'll say this is a new event

415
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,880
for whatever year. But that sometimes
might mean that they just didn't have it

416
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,359
the year before, and they might
have had it like the year before that.

417
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:48,519
So that that's what I was thinking. Possibly could have happened with the

418
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:49,599
ten k A game. I don't
know why, like I thought, like

419
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,400
at the Rio they had that tournament, but whatever, it doesn't matter.

420
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,119
That's a good event to be in
there. You know. Obviously, these

421
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,319
these mixed game guys, you know, love that sort of stuff. So

422
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,000
that one will of course draw very
well. All right, this one's this

423
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:10,599
one's interesting. Three thousand dollars Mid
Steaks Championship. Now, this one,

424
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,759
I'll just I'll read straight from the
press lease what it says. It's a

425
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:15,839
ve number eighty nine for players who
bust out of the main event but want

426
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,279
to remain part of the high stakes
action. This new four day event begins

427
00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:23,039
on July eleventh as a three thousand
dollars buying and a starting stack of forty

428
00:29:23,079 --> 00:29:26,440
thousand dollars. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, let's let's wind it back.

429
00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:32,400
Stay whoaha. I know what you're
gonna say. Go ahead, go ahead,

430
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:34,640
be part of the high stakes action. But it's the mid stakes Championship.

431
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,440
Listen, I'm with you. Okay, yes, okay, Now that

432
00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:44,240
could just be a you know,
misuse of words. I guess it's one

433
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:45,720
hundred percent of misuse of words.
But I know what they're getting at,

434
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:49,160
and yes, I mean this is
going to have a huge, huge privates

435
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,720
great. Yeah, yeah. So
I've always thought that, like in the

436
00:29:56,599 --> 00:30:00,480
above fifteen hundred up to five thousand, like the basically could put more events

437
00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:06,000
in that price point, like three
thousand dollars thirty five hundred, Like I

438
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:08,200
don't think they've ever had a thirty
five hundred, you know, like you

439
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:11,160
know, but three k's They're like, I think there could be more stuff

440
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,880
in there. It always seems like
it's it's it's fifteen hundred or lower for

441
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,279
a large chunk of the schedule,
and then a large chunk of the schedule

442
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,680
is ten can higher, Right,
where's the sixty five hundred you know six

443
00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:30,640
maxx six's not doing that because six
the sixty six hundred six max would crush

444
00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:33,880
on June sixth. Just be all
in on the sixes. I don't know

445
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,119
about that one. I don't know
about that one. Speaking of six handed,

446
00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:44,759
uh, fifteen dollars six handed plo
is July eleven. So both this

447
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:48,799
three thousand dollars mid Stakes Championship and
that fifteen dollars six handed pool they'll start

448
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,200
on July eleven. So there's you
know, there's a bit. Yeah,

449
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,079
I mean there's but the the mid
Stakes Championship has two starting fights, I

450
00:30:56,119 --> 00:31:00,839
believe, so yeah, it'll be
fine there. I mean there's there's a

451
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:07,039
lot on this schedule. They've definitely
they've definitely kind of packed that middle,

452
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:11,000
middle to late stages, you know, kind of of of the series like

453
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:14,920
when you get to like day two, day three of the main event,

454
00:31:15,079 --> 00:31:17,680
Like when you look at it last
year, it's a little bit lighter.

455
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:22,400
The events are a little bit how
do I say, it's less prestigious.

456
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:29,240
So I think they've actively as you
touched on with the more they're more common

457
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,920
more common events, you know.
Yeah, yeah, so I think they're

458
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,319
doing what you said, trying to
keep people around and hey, main event,

459
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,519
you might be out, but we
have some big, new fun events

460
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:49,400
still on the schedule, so don't
leave the property at all. This next

461
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,839
one that I want to point out, So this isn't a new event,

462
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,519
but to me, this is like, this is I think the sharpest thing

463
00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:00,000
on the schedule, and it is
no idea. What you're going to say,

464
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:02,440
You're you're gonna yeah, yes,
you're gonna know for sure, because

465
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,960
I think we've talked about this,
like on one of our many walks around

466
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,160
Carrier, like why don't they do
this type of thing? The fifteen hundred

467
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:14,960
dollars No Limit Shootout has two flights
and they're on the same day, twelve

468
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,519
pm and seven pm. No,
this is amazing because that that that one

469
00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:21,559
always gets like sold out of the
thousand, you know, there's four people

470
00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:23,279
that want to get in. They're
annoyed, Like, you know, I

471
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:29,319
think this is great. I do
not think that we were smart enough to

472
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:30,839
come up with this idea. This
is a great idea. I don't think

473
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:35,720
I've ever thought of it. Well, I believe it I'm I'm I like,

474
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:37,759
remember I remember stuff like this.
I'm pretty sure I remember exactly where

475
00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:40,000
we were. We were in the
middle of Paris and it was happening,

476
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,039
and our friend Ben Ludlow, I
think was heads up in the shootout.

477
00:32:44,079 --> 00:32:45,920
I think he ultimately lost, but
whatever, and we were talking about,

478
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,759
why don't they just do a multi
flight shootout. Now, we certainly didn't

479
00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:52,640
think about doing it on the same
day, but that makes a lot of

480
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,119
sense. Just do it on the
same day. Whatever. This is the

481
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,720
Yeah, I love this event.
I mean, this is this is fantastic

482
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,680
great. I mean, plus,
if the shootout does sell out like it

483
00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:04,240
usually does every single year, right, I mean, just fine, give

484
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,039
people another flight to fire into like
this is. This is a great way

485
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:09,119
to boost this price. Bool.
So I think this one is good and

486
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,960
it can also be I'll be curious
to see what they do with this.

487
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:20,599
The one negative that I've always had
with the shootout specifically is they've oftentimes run

488
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,039
it ten handed, and I'm just
so anti ten handed, as I think

489
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,400
most poker players out there are.
Right, So, now, if you

490
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:32,559
have two starting flights, are you
just willing to just run it nine handed?

491
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,400
Right? I mean sure. I
mean I also, you know,

492
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,599
if we're gonna be nitpicky, where's
the six handed shootout too? That'd be

493
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,279
a cool event. They've had that
before, right, I don't I have

494
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,920
no one. I don't know.
I feel like I feel like you should

495
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,039
have a rebuy into the table,
into your starting table. I love it.

496
00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:58,000
You should just be able to pull
out the rebuy chip and fire in,

497
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:00,799
so like, yeah, you can
get through the next on one billet.

498
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,680
Maybe it costs you, in this
case three K to go through.

499
00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:06,559
Maybe you end up playing both flights, it costs you six K. But

500
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,559
I think that would that would very
much, you know, boost up the

501
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:13,719
prize pool in this tournament, and
kind of like I know they've they've obviously

502
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,639
gotten away from the rebuys themselves,
but if it's maybe a little bit more

503
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:22,760
controlled with a a shootout tournament,
then then maybe maybe you do it that

504
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:28,960
way. But anyway, I quickly
looked over the entire schedule of the ninety

505
00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:31,719
nine events, and my numbers could
be off, you know, one way

506
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,800
or the other, by by one
or two or whatever. But what I'll

507
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:42,320
say is that I counted again quickly, fifty events with price points fifteen hundred

508
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,360
dollars in Lower So that's that's the
majority, you know, I mean it's

509
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:51,000
not the not an overwhelming majority,
but you know, obviously that's where there's

510
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,679
a lot of focus. Fifty events
of the ninety nine or fifteen hundred dollars

511
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:59,840
in Lower there are twenty one events
that are above fifteen hundred and up to

512
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:05,360
five thousand dollars. I think the
lowest price point above fifteen hundred is the

513
00:35:05,519 --> 00:35:07,920
Poker Hall of Fame event at nineteen
seventy nine. Then there's a some two

514
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,599
k events in there. They have
a handful of five thousand dollars events and

515
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,679
then above five thousand, so that
includes all the ten K championship events that

516
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,440
they have. Obviously, the ws
main event includes all those high rollers that

517
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:23,760
they have. There's twenty eight of
those. I believe my math is correct.

518
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,760
Again, it might be off one
or two either way for those,

519
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,599
but seems to me PGT events is
what you mean, Are they going to

520
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,840
count for the PGT. I have
already got confirmation all the ten thousand buy

521
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,280
ins or more at the World Series
of Poker this year a PGT qualifying,

522
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:44,400
So let's go. You are right, twenty eight events in total, you

523
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:50,440
can earn PGT points and qualify for
the PGT Championship million dollar free roll.

524
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,199
Perfect, So that'll be a lot
of fun to cover those events. Seems

525
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,119
like a good breakdown. You know, just over half the schedule is for

526
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,559
that that you know, lower tier
up again up to fifteen hundred dollars.

527
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:06,000
I would consider the lower tier once
you start getting to the two K price

528
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,880
point and higher, Like you can
definitely tell, I mean, at least

529
00:36:09,039 --> 00:36:15,000
I have felt it. I've played
a select few two K events I've played.

530
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,360
I think I've played two two k's
one twenty five hundred and one three

531
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,199
K and you keep so rich you
can know this is why I'm not rich,

532
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:28,599
just because I keep playing these stupid
tournaments and I keep losing. But

533
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:32,679
you can definitely tell, like the
even like going from fifteen hundred to a

534
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,639
two K, it's it's a little
little bit of a different player pool,

535
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,440
not not drastically different, but you
can definitely tell that, Like if you're

536
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:45,920
more of like a hobby player or
recreational and amateur whatever you want to call

537
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,639
it, like you're like fifteen hundred
dollars, Like that's my point and that's

538
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:55,119
probably some of that is just over
time, like it was it was the

539
00:36:55,159 --> 00:37:00,360
fifteen hundred dollars Nolanman holding tournaments that
like really were the the ev free man

540
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,159
tournament for so long, right,
So I think it's just kind of ingrained

541
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:07,000
in people's minds that the fifteen hundred
dollars price point is is that every man

542
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:10,760
tournament, plus you get things like
you have the Millionaire Makers fifteen hundred,

543
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,840
you have the Monster Stack is fifteen
hundred, right, I think the Closer

544
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,599
is also fifteen hundred. So like
those huge no limit hold them fields that

545
00:37:19,639 --> 00:37:22,719
you see at the lower price point
often come from the fifteen hundred dollars point.

546
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,920
Of course, you know you have
the one K for the Mystery Millions,

547
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,719
et cetera. But still I think
that fifteen hundred dollars price point is

548
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,880
kind of like, this is like
what I'm willing to spend. It's a

549
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,960
good price point for me to take
a shot in the gold Bracelet event.

550
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,719
But once I start going above fifteen
hundred for whatever reason, there's kind of

551
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,960
like that that mental block that keeps
some people away. You know, you

552
00:37:43,039 --> 00:37:45,639
get into like a twenty five hundred
dollars nolement hold them and you would think

553
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,320
that like they'd be the same,
but they're not. You definitely get kind

554
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,320
of a you know, one one
more notch up on the ladder in terms

555
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,199
of the class of player that you're
playing against. So just kind of an

556
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:00,599
interesting little nugget there. I did
want to point out that at I quickly

557
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:06,480
did a little control f sir search
because these events that I'm gonna mention are

558
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:09,920
ones that I always like to play
because, as I've said before many times

559
00:38:10,519 --> 00:38:15,400
on this podcast, on social media, wherever is that you know, I'm

560
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,519
at just the point being a working
man and whatever like, yet I don't

561
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:22,360
have five days to devote to like
the Monster Stack, so I try and

562
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:27,239
play like a two to three day
tournament most of the time. WSP has

563
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,840
these super Turbo bounties, which I
always like, you're in there and you're

564
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,000
out of there in one day if
you make a deep run. Right.

565
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,719
So the super Turbo bounty I think
is interesting. They have a one K,

566
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,599
they have a fifteen hundred, and
then they have a ten K.

567
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,760
They couldn't throw in a five K. They couldn't do it twenty five It

568
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:45,440
would have got them to that hundred
one hundredth event that you wanted. Look,

569
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,840
I could give you a list of
fifteen events that could have made to

570
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,480
get to one hundredths. But yes, I think super turbo bounties easy way

571
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:54,519
to slot them in. Like I'm
looking at a day just randomly, sorry,

572
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:59,400
in June second, only one event
starts. You know, you've got

573
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,000
day one day the mister millions,
that's a good day for a super turbo,

574
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,039
right, you know you only got
one event starting. That's that's the

575
00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:10,880
fifteen hundred. Butdoogie easily could put
a super Turbo bounty on that day or

576
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,239
the day before. So I think
they should do more of those. It

577
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:21,480
does help the the wreck the rec
players like you and me that can only

578
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:24,679
dedicated you know, only want a
dedicated day or like eight hours to make

579
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:29,840
the money or something. So that's
yeah, I definitely think they should be

580
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,400
doing a few more of those.
And then they always do have they have

581
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:37,000
a one K super Turbo, not
super Turble Bounty, just a regular super

582
00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:38,920
Turbo and nol them and hold them. That's the ninety ninth event on the

583
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,159
schedule that takes place on the final
day, July seventeenth. I mean that's

584
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,239
the I wish they would rebrand it
to like the Summer the Summer Saver or

585
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,039
whatever. No, no, this
is the one K. It's Event ninety

586
00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:54,679
nine. That's Hellmes's number, got
it, okay, I mean you could

587
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,159
say that, you could say event
eighty nine the year he won it,

588
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,280
like event you know, this year's
event seventeen because he's got seventeen bracelets,

589
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:06,159
like you know whatever. I mean, whatever we am the main event is

590
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,960
his because he won that, you
know. So, but yeah, this

591
00:40:10,119 --> 00:40:14,119
one, you know, another one
like super turbo, you know, get

592
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:15,280
it, get it out there,
like I just this is like the Summer

593
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,360
Saver event for me. I mean
everyone is out there blasting. Just try

594
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,239
too. It might be like too
small. Yeah, I mean you could

595
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:27,000
eat yeah, yeah, you could
make it at a two K turbo.

596
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,360
People are gonna, like you said, people are gonna fire it. Yeah.

597
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,880
I mean so this it starts at
ten am. You could almost probably

598
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,920
do on that final dait. You
could do this one, the super Turbo

599
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,639
Bounty one K at ten am and
then at like five pm just start a

600
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,480
hyper turbo like a five K.
Yes with I mean, what are the

601
00:40:45,559 --> 00:40:51,480
level the levels in the superturber are
twenty minutes. Make it ten minute levels

602
00:40:51,519 --> 00:40:53,519
for all I care. Twelve minutes, twelve minute levels, five levels an

603
00:40:53,519 --> 00:40:59,119
hour. There you go. I
mean at this point, no one cares

604
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,679
and everyone is chasing, like the
people in these tournaments are usually chasing.

605
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,599
So like, let's let's just go. Well, what's you know, I've

606
00:41:06,639 --> 00:41:08,719
already lost one hundred and sixty K
on the summer. What's another five K?

607
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,960
Who cares? If it's twelve minute
levels, let's go. Maybe I

608
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,519
win the gold, Maybe I don't. I'm gonna have my fun and flick

609
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:21,000
it in there. So let's let's
make that happen. We've talked about it

610
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:23,719
many times, you and I.
The one hundred K PLO did not make

611
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,639
the cut, buddy, make it. I'm so happy. I know you're

612
00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:30,000
happy. I'm sad. I wish
it made the cut. I mean,

613
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:35,440
look, I'm sad, but I'm
also happy I've got both. That event

614
00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:38,239
would have blown. Look, doors, you guys can if you if you're

615
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:44,039
upset about the hundred KO, you
can get thirty eight. You can come

616
00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:49,039
to the Poudio October twenty twenty four, play the pgt PO series and then

617
00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:52,800
play one hundred K. This is
i'ld have had one hundred and thirty eight

618
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,800
players. Okay, well we're going
to get one hundred and thirty eight price,

619
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,960
No, nothing draws like the Devisabel. I know nothing, So I

620
00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:06,079
mean I guess that's that's the overview
at least. Ready. Yeah, I'm

621
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:08,239
ready to event, I'm ready.
What do you got like? Obviously obviously

622
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,199
what you're mad about? What things
that didn't make it? Well, we

623
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,880
touched on the PLO. Let's be
honest. That's a little upsetting. They

624
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,320
should have done a hundred KPLOW.
Well, so here's my thing about the

625
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:24,960
hunter k PLO is that and I
could say that now. I think the

626
00:42:25,079 --> 00:42:28,760
chance of what I'm about to say
happening is very small, but there's a

627
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:35,000
chance that it could happen. Listen, everyone knew after last summer, even

628
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,199
a little bit before that, because
we had the opening PGT PLO series,

629
00:42:38,519 --> 00:42:44,480
is that PLO was as hot as
it's ever been. Right, So now

630
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:49,559
is the time to strike with this
type of tournament. Now. I don't

631
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:52,280
think you and I will say that
PLO numbers are going to go down,

632
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,880
but what if they do? Right? I mean, that's I know something

633
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,280
that's not on here. And we've
talked about it before. You know,

634
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:04,480
short deck stuff isn't on here.
They did try it right, but it's

635
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,239
almost like they tried it too late. You know, if like as soon

636
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,679
as short deck came out and everyone
was like, this is the future,

637
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,039
you know, all all that sort
of crap that people were saying. You

638
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:15,760
know, if you try it right
away, then maybe you can kind of

639
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,639
catch that wave or you know,
really be a part of that wave because

640
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:22,760
of the w SB brand is so
strong. But when you wait, you

641
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,719
know, so long to throw in
a fifteen hundred dollars short deck, you

642
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:30,760
know, you might have missed the
boat. Right now. I'm not saying

643
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,000
that they're going to miss the boat
with PLO, It's it's a different beast,

644
00:43:34,079 --> 00:43:37,119
but like I don't know, maybe
one hundred k PLO because of the

645
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,639
price point, maybe you could miss
the boat. I have no idea,

646
00:43:39,679 --> 00:43:44,760
But like that the twenty five k, the fifty k they do so so

647
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,480
well last year, that fifty k
was out of control, out of you

648
00:43:49,559 --> 00:43:51,920
could have you could have walked up
to the tournament and be like, hey,

649
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,480
everyone, we're gonna make this one
hundred k. Can you just put

650
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,400
another fifty k? In and everyone
would have snap said yes and pulled money

651
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,079
out of their pocket like that.
Like so, if you're going to strike,

652
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:05,400
I think you got to strike now, right, So that's yeah,

653
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,599
that's right. I agree with you. You know, I'm looking at the

654
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:14,440
events. You know you're talking about
PLO. There's two events they trimmed that

655
00:44:14,679 --> 00:44:17,440
I don't quite understand why. We
understand why they took away short deck.

656
00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:22,159
It's not that popular. Numbers aren't
great. There's two events they killed.

657
00:44:22,639 --> 00:44:29,920
One is the fifteen hundred no limit
holding PLOW and then also wasn't they replaced

658
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,440
by double board bomb pot Okay,
yes, but that event last year two

659
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:40,159
thousand runners. It's also one we
streamed to weight two thousand runners. Yeah,

660
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,840
in the fifteen You can't kill an
event if it's got two thousand.

661
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,000
Now I'm going to give you the
next one they killed, the five K

662
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:52,559
version of the same event, no
limit Holding PLO mix won by our boy

663
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,519
Michael Munsak. That had five hundred
and sixty eight runners and was the first

664
00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:00,639
week of the series. I'm going
to read off some of the names of

665
00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:05,840
this final table. Michael Wonnse,
Alexander Livingston, Tyler Brown, Kristen Fox,

666
00:45:06,119 --> 00:45:10,519
Christian Harder just bubbling the final table. Uval Brunstein also another person the

667
00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:16,079
file table. I miss Jane Andes
poker. That is a very big event

668
00:45:16,159 --> 00:45:20,679
to just drop off the schedule.
Now, Like I said, I'm good

669
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,400
with experimenting with the double I didn't
know that that one missed the cart that

670
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,159
is that's a big one. I
mean the fifteen hundred dollars one getting two

671
00:45:27,199 --> 00:45:30,599
thousand is obviously a that's a really
good turnout. But I mean the five

672
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,079
k one for sure. Like but
they kept the six hundred dollars version which

673
00:45:35,119 --> 00:45:38,440
had twenty seven hundred runners. Good
job. But if you're going to if

674
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,360
you're gonna look at these events and
look at these numbers and say I need

675
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,199
to kill one of these, I
would kill the six hundred and then make

676
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:51,679
a fifteen hundred double board, keep
the fifteen hundred normal, and also keep

677
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,360
the five k. That's a good
event. You know, we speak to

678
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,599
our players, they always ask him
for hey, what are you thinking of

679
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,159
a no limit PLO tournament? And
you know, we have reasons why we

680
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:05,559
don't do it, But six hundred
players shows how popular that is. And

681
00:46:05,639 --> 00:46:09,480
it was also I think the fourth
event of the series. Yeah, I

682
00:46:09,519 --> 00:46:16,719
mean it's interesting because it would probably
take a lot to like kill an event

683
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,679
entirely, Like it would take a
pretty steep decline, you know, year

684
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,960
over year. You'd probably need to
see it for like three, maybe even

685
00:46:25,079 --> 00:46:28,880
four years in a row right before
you were like, okay, like listen,

686
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,119
it's time to pull the plug on
this one, you know, because

687
00:46:30,159 --> 00:46:35,239
like I mean, they basically did
that with Member Potlam and hold them I

688
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,119
mean, Parliament almost almost stuck around
way too long and then they finally killed

689
00:46:38,159 --> 00:46:40,920
it, right, you know,
So stuff like that. But those two

690
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:45,119
events, like, for sure I
knew the fifteen hundred was off of it,

691
00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:46,199
and then I just assumed, you
know, they're replacing it with of

692
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,639
course the double board bomb up,
but the five K one for sure,

693
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,320
you know. But here's here's what
I'll say. I think you probably have

694
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,320
a few more things, but I'm
just gonna say quickly, is that,

695
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:01,719
like I don't think that there's there's
all to me. There's only one event

696
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,199
that I would have left off of
this ninety nine and that's the double board

697
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,159
bomb pot. But other than that, like I'm like, it's this is

698
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,639
fine, you know, So it's
not like it's not like if I were

699
00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:17,719
to add back in the five K
half and half that I would then have

700
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,840
to take something off. I don't. I just have to like add it

701
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,960
to the schedule somewhere, you know. So maybe it was just for them.

702
00:47:23,039 --> 00:47:27,880
They were just like, well they
didn't want a hundred yeah, or

703
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,079
you know, you have staffing issues, you have space, Like I get

704
00:47:30,159 --> 00:47:32,840
it, Like you know, it's
you kind of use stopping issues and excuse

705
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,159
because we mentioned there's going to be
some issues during the main event, like

706
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:42,320
adding those extra events. They're adding
events to create stopping issues, so they

707
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:45,400
I don't think that's a real excuse
that, hey, we need we kind

708
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,760
of one hundred events because we don't
have enough stuff. The way you've scheduled

709
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,960
it, you're gonna have some logistics
issues. But like that's the thing.

710
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:57,480
We know. We know the behind
the scenes stuff as well, and there

711
00:47:57,559 --> 00:48:00,679
is going to be We're going to
see that, you know, come full

712
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,920
circle. I do do you have
anything else? Do you want to go?

713
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,840
Misser over there? You're you're like
Alan kester Light, Okay, I'm

714
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,119
about to delete this. I don't
think I have the power to delete this

715
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,880
from my end, but I would
press delete on that comment. So what

716
00:48:16,039 --> 00:48:19,199
else say? I'll, you know, reading through the press leagus, I

717
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,039
I have a bunch of highlights that
I made. This one paragraph kind of

718
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:25,280
stuck out to me, and it
says weekend Marquee events will have adjusted starting

719
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:30,559
flights during the twenty twenty four WSP. The events will now have either three

720
00:48:30,679 --> 00:48:36,719
starting flights and those would be Friday
through Sunday, or four starting flights and

721
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,199
then those would be Thursday through Sunday. This change results in popular events such

722
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:45,719
as the Monster Stack, Millionaire Maker, and Colossus that now have three starting

723
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,400
flights. I believe the Monster Stack
and Millionaire Maker had two in the past.

724
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,400
I think for sure had two.
Then it says additionally, Mega satellites

725
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:59,679
will now be played as quote unquote
landmark Mega satellites. Now what those are?

726
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:04,519
Tom? Those are? Those are
basically the double SP's version of milestone

727
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:08,840
satellites, because it says where participants
will accumulate a certain amount of chips,

728
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:14,119
for example, ten times the starting
stack to win a seat into the respective

729
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:20,000
event. So it's milestone satellites trademarked
by anybody, I mean it could be,

730
00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:22,880
I mean, yeah, who the
heck knows, I would. It's

731
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,519
so vague that Matt Savage is he
one like it might be the win?

732
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,320
Yeah, you never know. So
I don't think you could trademark milestone satellites

733
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:36,960
though why not? Woop? Didn't
they trademark main event? Yeah, but

734
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:40,480
it's a little there was longevity behind
that phrase. Milestone satellites is a generic

735
00:49:40,679 --> 00:49:46,760
term to describe a satellite whatever.
I mean. I go deep in the

736
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:52,639
trademarks, that trademark, I know
all the trademark laws, thinking whatever,

737
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,519
landmark satellites, milestone satellites, whatever
the heck you want to call on them,

738
00:49:54,679 --> 00:50:00,440
their satellites. It's basically it's not
that the satellites themselves are are changing

739
00:50:00,519 --> 00:50:01,800
a ton. They're still going to
offer a ton of satellites, of course,

740
00:50:02,599 --> 00:50:06,199
it's just a little bit different where
in the structure of them, where

741
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,719
you know, you get to a
certain chip stack based on what you started

742
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,199
with. Again, they use the
example of getting to ten times a starting

743
00:50:13,199 --> 00:50:15,760
stack, then you're you're basically just
going to be taken out of the tournament

744
00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:19,559
and given that seat, right,
which is good. You know, speeds

745
00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:22,199
things up, gets things going.
So I thought that that was interesting to

746
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,960
point out listen. You and I
have always been fans of you know,

747
00:50:27,159 --> 00:50:30,000
you start tournaments on a Thursday or
Friday, like especially these big, these

748
00:50:30,039 --> 00:50:36,559
big field no limbit tournaments. So
I think that that is a good thing.

749
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,840
I think the they didn't mention it
here specifically, but I think the

750
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,480
Gladiator is a poker which, by
the way, is also back and has

751
00:50:42,519 --> 00:50:47,079
a three hundred dollars buying and a
three million dollar prize school guarantee that starts

752
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:53,480
on June sixth, which is a
Thursday, and that one has four starting

753
00:50:53,519 --> 00:50:58,440
flights, so that one would go
Thursday through Sunday for the starting flights for

754
00:50:58,519 --> 00:51:01,320
that one. And I expect that
one to be Apple freaking bananas. Looking

755
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:08,800
at all the trademarks, Yeah,
like they're rich, literally all ours what

756
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:15,679
for poker? Not Like I searched
milestone satellites and poker and like the first

757
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:21,360
page, there's only like three non
poker go ones. One's Big Bet Live

758
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,119
Ones, Midwest Regional Poker Championship.
It's also good for them to you know,

759
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,760
WP is gonna want to differentiate from
other stuff, which is which is

760
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,800
totally fine. I get it from
a branding perspective, but does it confuse

761
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:36,840
the people. No, maybe a
little bit. Uh No, I don't

762
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,760
think so. I think it's fine. I mean half the players don't even

763
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:45,760
read the structure sheets anyway, So
what does it matter. You could put

764
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:46,679
you have to get through a hundred
times a starry stack, and that people

765
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:51,159
would not know and then they'd find
out level eight freak out. Gig Poker

766
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,199
is obviously a partner of the w
SIP. They mentioned in the press release

767
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:58,719
that part of the record breaking success
that took place in twenty twenty three was

768
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,039
due to working with GG poker.
They also mentioned dobasip dot com, but

769
00:52:02,159 --> 00:52:07,079
ggpoker specifically is going to be back. They will again offer exclusive satellites to

770
00:52:07,199 --> 00:52:12,239
the twenty twenty four DOUBSIP. I
would guess for those of us here in

771
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:16,840
the US that that would also include
Club GG, which is their sweepstakes platform

772
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:22,400
that they regularly offer seats to.
But last year I think they said they

773
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,480
were going to do six hundred seats, or maybe they said more than six

774
00:52:24,599 --> 00:52:31,159
hundred seats, but they ultimately qualified
seven hundred and seventy four players through the

775
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:37,360
GG Poker Road to Vegas promotion.
Those players cashed for more than five million

776
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,039
dollars in the WSP Main Event.
So seven hundred and players, yes,

777
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:47,079
seven hundred and seventy four players cashing
or sorry making their way and qualifying to

778
00:52:47,079 --> 00:52:52,559
the wspn event. That's a huge
boost obviously, that sort of qualification along

779
00:52:52,599 --> 00:52:53,920
with everything else that they did,
divasip dot com, they had the main

780
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,000
event, Mania, et cetera.
I'm gonna talk about those two things in

781
00:52:57,039 --> 00:52:59,440
a second, but you know,
all of that helped them, you know,

782
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,000
obviously set a new record number get
up over ten thousand. Now,

783
00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:07,840
it says Daniel Legrotneo, the GG
Poker Global Ambassador and six time WSP Bracelet

784
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,679
winner, let's get number seven this
year, Daniel, he has said in

785
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:15,320
his quote, he says this summer, we as in GG Poker aim to

786
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:22,199
send one thousand players to their WSP
Dream. Now it says to their WSP

787
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,920
Dream. Doesn't exactly say Wspman Event, but I would have guessed that's the

788
00:53:25,039 --> 00:53:30,360
Wspman Event. But yeah, so
if they're going to push four thousand,

789
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:35,719
let's go, I'm in. Also
in twenty twenty three, WSP dot Com

790
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,840
qualified more than four hundred and fifty
players into the ten K main event.

791
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:45,239
They plan to exceed that number this
year for twenty twenty four. So it

792
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:50,639
sounds like, you know, going
back to what ty Stewart said where he

793
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,880
said the motto is bigger and better, they are certainly going. Now.

794
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,679
One other thing that it does say
a little bit buried within the press release,

795
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,960
but it does say that details on
the date and location for the WSOP

796
00:54:02,199 --> 00:54:08,039
Circuit season ending Tournament Champions will be
announced by March fifteenth, So just about

797
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:14,400
a month between now and then being
March fifteenth, at least, there they're

798
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:19,840
deadline for announcing that. So I
haven't you know we we obviously woke up,

799
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,480
saw the schedule, read through the
press release, hopped on this podcast.

800
00:54:23,039 --> 00:54:28,079
You know, I haven't been on
social media. I'm guessing everyone out

801
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:30,880
there didn't read the press release.
But you know, there might be some

802
00:54:30,079 --> 00:54:32,920
there might be some people freaking out
that the Tournament Champions is not on the

803
00:54:34,119 --> 00:54:37,559
WSB schedule for twenty twenty four.
But they do say again in this press

804
00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:43,079
release that the details on the date
and location for that will be announced by

805
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,639
March fifteenth. Why Mauch fifteen?
What why March fifteenth? Is that?

806
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,440
I have no idea. Maybe they
just want to space things out a little

807
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,679
bit. Where do you think it's
going to be. Give me a guess

808
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,679
if I was missed the WSP,
you know, hold on, hold on,

809
00:55:01,039 --> 00:55:07,880
not if you already said earlier you
are mister, so mister, give

810
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:12,559
me a guess. Well, no, I meant if I was running things,

811
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,960
I'd be putting it a paradise.
Let's make these numbers big. Let's

812
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:21,880
let's blow out Paradise even bigger than
last year. And we're going to kick

813
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:27,000
off WSP Paradise with a Tournament of
Champions. That's how I would do it.

814
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,960
Now, how are they going to
do it? I'm not sure.

815
00:55:31,079 --> 00:55:37,719
Maybe it's something at Horseshoot in December, a Tournament of Champion series. Maybe

816
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:43,760
there's you know, ten prelims and
then there's the Tournament of Champions. I

817
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,599
don't think they're going to go back
to where was it was it Cherokee where

818
00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:49,960
they used to do the National Championship. I don't think they'll do that.

819
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:52,320
But I think the I think the
idea of the National Championship is has been

820
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:57,760
transitioned into what is now the Tournament
of Champions. Yeah, so look,

821
00:55:58,039 --> 00:56:00,159
they're My two guess is Paradise was
what I would do to try and get

822
00:56:00,199 --> 00:56:07,920
bigger numbers, or I wouldn't be
surprised to see something, you know,

823
00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:14,480
maybe early December at the Horseshoe,
the Tournament of Champions series. Uh,

824
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,599
you know, maybe it's eight bracelet
events, so maybe it's fifteen ring events

825
00:56:17,679 --> 00:56:24,599
something like that into the Tournament of
Champions. That'd be my leading candidates for

826
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:29,920
when they may bring this back.
I will say this, I do now

827
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,239
that I think I was. I
was originally about to say that I agree

828
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:37,280
with you. Paradise sounds like the
answer. But now that I think about

829
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:45,480
this, so you like my horseshoe
idea or some variation, let me just

830
00:56:45,519 --> 00:56:49,599
talk it out. So I'm obviously
a big marketing guy. I'm a big

831
00:56:49,679 --> 00:56:52,000
pr guy. Like I'm a big
brand type of guy. Like I'm always

832
00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:55,280
thinking about that sort of stuff.
Right, So if I'm thinking about how

833
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:59,840
I'm going to come out and announce
this, then here's what I know.

834
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:01,960
If I say, Okay, we're
gonna do the WASITB schedule, we'll put

835
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,159
it in there that you know,
the dates in the location for the Tournament

836
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,559
Champions are gonna come out at a
later date, you know. Now they

837
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:15,480
put March fifteenth. In here now
WSB Paradise has not been announced that it's

838
00:57:15,559 --> 00:57:19,519
coming back, right, it was
nothing yet. No, So if you

839
00:57:19,719 --> 00:57:22,119
come out and say the Tournament Champions
is taking place in the Bahamas at Dobasipy

840
00:57:22,159 --> 00:57:29,079
Paradise, you're announcing wasip Paradise?
Now? Is that is? That is

841
00:57:29,239 --> 00:57:31,199
just coming out and saying that the
Tournament Champions is going to take place there?

842
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,480
Is that? Like it's it's Is
it a few different things? Is

843
00:57:36,519 --> 00:57:39,840
it one? A kind of a
really lackluster way to announce WSITY Paradise,

844
00:57:42,079 --> 00:57:44,760
You know, well, yeah,
but you should want to come on and

845
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,719
be like, wasit paradise is back? Boom, it's having this, this

846
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,719
and this this has been guarantees blah
blah blah whatever. I think you would

847
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,400
also want to do that in the
summertime because everything now, everything you're doing

848
00:57:54,519 --> 00:58:00,920
now is about the twenty twenty four
WSP So point, yeah, good point.

849
00:58:00,199 --> 00:58:06,440
You come out with that like it's
I mean, it's it's Friday February

850
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,320
sixteenth. They said by March fifteenth, so within the month they're going to

851
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:15,119
change like the what they want people
talking about to Tournament Champions being in the

852
00:58:15,159 --> 00:58:20,920
Bahamas. If that were would be
the case, which which shifts the eyeballs

853
00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:22,840
from the wasp in the summer,
I would not want to do that.

854
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:30,280
So so I'm kind of like thinking
that maybe it's in Vegas, like maybe

855
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:35,039
it's the hundredth event. Yeah,
see, like that's kind of what That's

856
00:58:35,079 --> 00:58:38,280
what I'm getting at here. I'm
with you now, I'm calling an audible

857
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:43,320
on Paradise. I'm going to keep
my December horseshoe idea alive. But I

858
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,440
think I think you're onto something.
I mean, because it doesn't it doesn't

859
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,639
it doesn't make sense if you're doing
it at Paradise to like put to word

860
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,119
this sense like you did, Like
you would just say like details on the

861
00:58:53,199 --> 00:58:55,840
dayt and location would be announced at
a later date like end of story.

862
00:58:57,039 --> 00:59:00,480
Like that's all you say. You
don't put by March fifteen, because then

863
00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:05,400
that does everything that I just talked
about. So I'm over here trying to

864
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,320
connect some dots. So that's that's
what I think, and that that makes

865
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,960
a lot of sense. Like you
come out with the message this is the

866
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:15,199
hundredth event, and then also you
said earlier you said why by March fifteenth,

867
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,960
Well, I'll tell you why,
mister WSP Tim Duckworth. It's spring

868
00:59:20,039 --> 00:59:23,840
break. You got to give people
time to travel. You can't. You

869
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,800
can't announce the Tournament of Champions if
it's going to take place as the one

870
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,440
hundredth event in Las Vegas, you
know, at the end of July or

871
00:59:31,519 --> 00:59:34,320
whenever the heck it's going to be. I'm assuming if it's going to be

872
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,920
the hundredth event, that'll probably be
at the end. You can't drop that

873
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:42,360
in the first week of May because
all these people that have won into it

874
00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:45,320
like might be tied up. You
have to drop it soon, right,

875
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:50,000
So I think that's why they said
by March fifteenth, so they give all

876
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:54,199
those people enough time. Now,
the kind of the negative here is is

877
00:59:54,360 --> 01:00:02,079
I think like there's still a little
bit of unknown around it. So this

878
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:07,360
comes out if you're a circuit grinder, maybe you don't read this press release,

879
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,360
which is pretty long. You know, I'm not. I I mean,

880
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,360
we're going through it. I got
highlight of Marker all over it and

881
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,119
blah blah blah. But like I'm
guessing poker players aren't necessarily doing that.

882
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:20,639
So maybe poker players just see it
that it's not on the schedule, and

883
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,960
then they're just kind of like,
well, Okay, I'm not going to

884
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,679
go as hard at the circuit,
right, Yeah, like that that's kind

885
01:00:24,719 --> 01:00:28,559
of the negative. And then you
might hear about it by March fifteenth.

886
01:00:28,639 --> 01:00:30,679
Yeah, hey it's coming back whatever, but you might have missed an event

887
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:35,400
or two in the middle, so
that would be kind of the one negative

888
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,800
play there. So yeah, I'm
going to go ahead and say that it's

889
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,679
going to be the one hundredth of
event at the recipe. Again, I'm

890
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:45,400
just totally guessing here, but we're
spending weight. I'm on literally one sentence.

891
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,440
I mean, I think the I
think the whole that that's what I

892
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,039
think is kind of like they say
details on the Dayton location. I mean

893
01:00:51,079 --> 01:00:53,119
I think it's just horseshoe Like.
I'm not like they just put it in

894
01:00:53,199 --> 01:00:59,400
there. I mean, what are
they gonna do? The problem is there's

895
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:04,199
no way to put on the schedule. Well maybe it's like you know the

896
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,559
eighteenth, I mean July eighteenth.
I have no idea just out a day.

897
01:01:07,719 --> 01:01:12,559
They're already getting kicked out and no, it's not gonna happen. Can

898
01:01:12,599 --> 01:01:15,840
you do it on? No?
Youay off? No, because it's a

899
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,960
three day event, and then if
you do it in the middle, you

900
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,639
you lose the people at the end. If anything, it's got to be

901
01:01:22,679 --> 01:01:28,880
the opening event, and then every
number has to increase by one. Yeah,

902
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,840
I mean yeah, I think I
think my idea is I think I'm

903
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:37,360
going back. I'm off your idea. I'm back on my horseshoe. December

904
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:45,400
December twelfth TOOC in Vegas, streamed
on PokerGO dot Com. No, I

905
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,760
don't know. I'm just guessing,
but it could be after Paradise. Let's

906
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:54,239
pretend Paradise is the same window.
Then you do the tournament champions people.

907
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:59,039
I'm on the hundredth event at the
divers They got to get people to travel,

908
01:01:59,079 --> 01:02:01,519
like, I'm a'm on this.
This is what I'm locked in on.

909
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,960
This spell is like our first World
Series. But yeah, of course,

910
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:13,039
who's buying the first coffee before or
after we walk up to the Jubilee

911
01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:19,280
Theater for our thirty thousand steps?
I have I have one hundredth event at

912
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,000
the dobs ap in the summer.
Does it need wait, one quick question,

913
01:02:22,599 --> 01:02:28,000
yeah, does it need to be
a bracelet event? Well, I

914
01:02:28,079 --> 01:02:30,599
mean I think if you want to
be the hundredth event. Then yes,

915
01:02:30,679 --> 01:02:31,199
okay, because that's what I was
going to say, Like, there's a

916
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,400
way to make it. I'm going
to look, let's here's the bet.

917
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,880
You get Vegas during the World Series, right, And when I say World

918
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:45,320
Series, I'll give you May June
July in case they change the dates,

919
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:51,280
right, I'll give you that,
and I'm taking I'll take the Horseshoe later

920
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,960
in the year. Sounds good.
Okay, sounds good. And if we

921
01:02:55,039 --> 01:02:58,840
need any sort of arbitration, we'll
just go to producer Rich Ryan. And

922
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:00,960
no, we don't need opportuny.
It's very clear. You have May June

923
01:03:01,039 --> 01:03:05,679
July, I have November or December. Sounds good. What's the best?

924
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:10,480
First three coffees? First three coffees, that's like thirty dollars at the Horseshoe

925
01:03:12,199 --> 01:03:16,480
whatever, I don't care. We
need our coffee three three. I was

926
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:22,239
thinking about buying us a coffee machine
this year. Yeah, but it's like

927
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,480
a real legit coffee machine, Like
it's gonna listen, it's gonna force me

928
01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:29,599
to be lazy. And I enjoy
the walk. I'm serious that I enjoyed.

929
01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:31,519
That's a good point. I actually
it's good. Yeah, yeah,

930
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,400
and I usually, I mean it's
it's you know, one hundred and seventy

931
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,760
five degrees outside, so I'm usually
getting in an ice coffee and usually machines

932
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:42,639
that make ice coffee for you at
home. You know, there's just think

933
01:03:43,079 --> 01:03:46,079
No, they don't, Yes,
they do. Get out of here anyway.

934
01:03:46,199 --> 01:03:50,960
We've spent way too much time on
literally one sentence in a in a

935
01:03:51,039 --> 01:03:54,679
press release with four hundred censes.
Next up they are bringing back it sounds

936
01:03:54,760 --> 01:04:00,000
like main event Mania Mania spelled m
A y hint hint because it takes place

937
01:04:00,039 --> 01:04:04,159
in May and I A. So
that's great. It's the it's THEBA sip's

938
01:04:04,199 --> 01:04:09,639
official Guaranteed Sea Qualifier Series. It's
going to be returning in twenty twenty four

939
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:15,519
through various land based satellite partners.
They mentioned participating locations being Horseshoe, Saint

940
01:04:15,559 --> 01:04:20,679
Louis, Grand Victoria Casino, Elgin, Harris, Harrah's Cherokee excuse me,

941
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:26,280
hair or Horseshoe, Tunica, Harris, Pompano Beach, Thunder Valley Casino Resort,

942
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:31,119
Turning Stone, Horseshoe, Las Vegas, Foxwood's Greaton Casino and Resorts.

943
01:04:31,199 --> 01:04:34,280
So I mean that I know that
that you know helped pump a bunch of

944
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,760
people, and I think Fox would
sent a ton of people. I think

945
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,960
they told us that last year.
So very cool. And then of course

946
01:04:41,039 --> 01:04:44,920
listen, the most important paragraph in
the entire press release is the one that

947
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:49,079
says poker Go, the largest poker
content company and streaming platform, returns the

948
01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:53,840
official live streaman production partner of the
WAP. I won't read the entire paragraph

949
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:58,119
because it basically says that poker goes
back. We are going to be live

950
01:04:58,199 --> 01:05:03,519
streaming every event. No, don't
paint us in a corner like you are

951
01:05:03,559 --> 01:05:06,079
mister WSP. You're not mister poker
Go. Okay, just remember that.

952
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:15,679
Yeah, that's carry. So basically, now that we have the schedule,

953
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,760
it is out there. It is
locked in. You know. Now poker

954
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:24,360
Go is you know, we've obviously
been working with the WSP and like you

955
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:28,079
know, trying to figure out,
like, you know, what we're gonna

956
01:05:28,079 --> 01:05:30,840
do for the summer. As a
general sense, now that we have like

957
01:05:30,639 --> 01:05:34,280
the full puzzle laid out in front
of us, now we go through and

958
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,480
we kind of go like, okay, we're gonna do this, We're going

959
01:05:36,559 --> 01:05:40,599
to do that this this day is
that this day might be this or this,

960
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,440
Like, you know, we go
through and we try and come out

961
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,440
with a plan. So I don't
know what that is yet. You know,

962
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,840
we're gonna take probably a couple of
weeks to figure that all out.

963
01:05:48,199 --> 01:05:51,400
Well, we we're gonna lock it
in today. Come on, what else

964
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:56,159
we're gonna do with that weekend?
I think we Well, I'm going to

965
01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:00,159
a wedding and a kid's birthday party, both things I don't want to do.

966
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,960
It sounds like you need to print
off the schedule and take it is

967
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,280
printed. I'm holding it in my
hand. They just printed the press.

968
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,599
Sorry, Oh yeah, yeah,
I'm holding I'm beginning to print the schedule

969
01:06:10,239 --> 01:06:12,679
so you can, uh, you
know, figure out what we're going to

970
01:06:12,719 --> 01:06:17,840
stream to the for the people.
Yeah, I mean my my my push

971
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,599
will be that we stream every single
day. Like that's gonna be my push

972
01:06:21,679 --> 01:06:26,000
to our team. Like whatever we
do, I almost don't care what we

973
01:06:26,119 --> 01:06:30,400
do on every single day, I
just want streaming, right, Like that's

974
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,840
what Yeah, and I think we
I think we actually had one day off

975
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,599
last year. Yeah, but that
was during the main event, Like that

976
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:41,320
was the but like even an event, we should there's other stuff going on,

977
01:06:41,519 --> 01:06:44,599
like finals. We can do.
You know what, as you've been

978
01:06:44,639 --> 01:06:48,360
talking, I've been looking into streaming
day off during the main event. We

979
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:53,039
got some potential. We got maybe
a fifty K high roll the final table

980
01:06:53,559 --> 01:06:57,760
ten K six max final, that's
thee. We got some juicy stuff,

981
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,400
we got some stuff the yeah.
I mean, listen, I I want

982
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,719
to come at now speaking from the
production side of things, because that is

983
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:10,639
what Poker Grow is involved with.
Like to me, we are I believe

984
01:07:10,679 --> 01:07:15,159
it's is NBC with the Olympics,
like we are NBC. What NBC is

985
01:07:15,199 --> 01:07:17,239
to the Olympics, we are that
to the wa CP, right and in

986
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,760
a lot of ways. You know, the dovasp is the Olympics of poker.

987
01:07:20,159 --> 01:07:23,880
You know, a bunch of different
gold medals aka gold bracest stuff for

988
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:28,440
grab, all different types of variants, blah blah blah. Now, at

989
01:07:28,519 --> 01:07:30,840
least as far as I know,
when the Olympics are running, NBC is

990
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:35,840
putting stuff on TV, right,
So I would like to put stuff out

991
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:41,079
there live streams, online, pokergrow
dot com, the app, you know,

992
01:07:41,199 --> 01:07:45,280
possibly on the YouTube channel, et
cetera. So the most we can

993
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:49,199
do I think that we should constantly
push for that so you know, hopefully

994
01:07:50,039 --> 01:07:54,960
we can you know, we can
get that through with the decision makers and

995
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,400
you know, make our case and
do the best that we can. You

996
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,280
know, first and foremost, Tim
and Ill we will always say we are

997
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,800
poker fans first. That's why we
got into this industry, That's why we

998
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,960
love it so much. So,
you know, we're very much for the

999
01:08:10,079 --> 01:08:12,119
viewers out there. You know,
when the viewers are like, why aren't

1000
01:08:12,119 --> 01:08:15,239
you doing this? Why aren't you
doing that? Tim and I probably complained

1001
01:08:15,239 --> 01:08:17,760
about it too, to be honest. So you know we do a lot

1002
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:24,119
of yelling and complaining and whining and
crying behind closed doors to our own managers

1003
01:08:24,159 --> 01:08:27,359
and bosses and all that sort of
stuff. But into each other, yeah,

1004
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:31,279
into each other. Well, we'll
try and put together the best coverage

1005
01:08:31,319 --> 01:08:35,680
schedule that we can. You know, it benefits everyone in poker. The

1006
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,399
more that poker is out there,
the more that it is able to be

1007
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:44,239
viewed, especially in event as big
and badass as the WSP, you want

1008
01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:46,760
as many eyeballs on it as possible
because at the end of the day,

1009
01:08:47,079 --> 01:08:50,079
you know, if people see it
and they're like, that's freaking cool.

1010
01:08:50,359 --> 01:08:53,840
I want to go out to Las
Vegas and play in that. I mean

1011
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,560
for myself, for Tim, for
for so many people in the industry.

1012
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,439
I mean, that's how we got
excited. You know, whether was Chris

1013
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:02,880
Moneymaker, whether it was a year
before that or after that, you probably

1014
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:08,840
saw it somewhere and you're like,
that's awesome. I'm in let's go right.

1015
01:09:09,039 --> 01:09:13,279
So that's what we try and do
now. So try and do that

1016
01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:16,399
as much as possible, and hopefully
we can reach more people than ever before.

1017
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,159
So that's the plan. For the
live streaming stuff will be hard at

1018
01:09:20,199 --> 01:09:24,000
work, you know, grinding through
that and trying to put together a schedule

1019
01:09:24,079 --> 01:09:28,479
out there. I will say that
like we did last year, we probably

1020
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,319
won't come out with a firm like
you know, on this day, it's

1021
01:09:32,399 --> 01:09:35,680
this event, on this day,
it's this event, just because you know,

1022
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,159
we have done that before. I
think my first year with Poker Girl

1023
01:09:39,239 --> 01:09:41,680
we did that, Like, yeah, we have to change June eighth,

1024
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,079
it's this tournament. June nine,
it's this tournament. Like and the reason

1025
01:09:45,119 --> 01:09:48,079
why you don't want to do that
is you just because I thinks so many

1026
01:09:48,119 --> 01:09:51,880
things change, I mean, like
everything is changing. Like maybe you're planning

1027
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:58,079
on doing like the ten kplo,
but then in some three thousand dollars I

1028
01:09:58,119 --> 01:10:00,880
don't know oe tournament like Nigron and
help we make the final table. Well,

1029
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,399
you know, what do people want
to see? Well, the'll probably

1030
01:10:03,399 --> 01:10:05,960
gonna want to see riding negroni and
helmets, right, so you have to

1031
01:10:06,039 --> 01:10:09,640
pivot. But if you put it
out there that's going to be this one

1032
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,680
event, then people get mad.
So we you know, we kind of

1033
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,880
try and keep it flexible. Yeah, we'll have an idea what we might

1034
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,079
want to do on a certain day, and we'll have like, okay,

1035
01:10:16,359 --> 01:10:19,119
on this day, this would be
like priority number one, this would be

1036
01:10:19,199 --> 01:10:21,800
priority number two, or maybe option
number one, option number two, whatever.

1037
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,319
So that's probably how we'll go about
that. So you know, just

1038
01:10:27,399 --> 01:10:31,359
look for like a I guess a
schedule idea. Again, we're going to

1039
01:10:31,399 --> 01:10:35,560
be pushing for streaming every single day, probably not starting on May twenty eighth,

1040
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:41,720
but hopefully starting like June first something
like that. Most importantly is the

1041
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,279
WSBY main event. I'm assuming we'll
be doing every day of that. Last

1042
01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:50,119
year, we did the first four
days, so the starting flights all took

1043
01:10:50,239 --> 01:10:56,520
place on the horseshoe, like secondary
table stream whatever, you want to call

1044
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:00,880
it, and that was done through
the Poker gro YouTube channels also on pokergrow

1045
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,399
dot com and then let into kind
of the main coverage that took place,

1046
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,279
you know, on the Poker Go
main stage, all that sort of stuff,

1047
01:11:08,279 --> 01:11:12,279
starting with the Day twos and onwards. So maybe we do something similar

1048
01:11:12,359 --> 01:11:15,159
like that, but again, just
stay tuned overall, because we will certainly

1049
01:11:15,239 --> 01:11:20,199
be letting you guys know as soon
as possible. And all I will ask

1050
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:25,600
is that those of you out there
who watch poker grow, whether you are

1051
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,800
someone who is a current subscriber and
you maintain that subscription, or whether you

1052
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,600
are someone who maybe you just come
around and get back in there for WSP

1053
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:38,720
time. Whoever you are, tell
a couple people about it. You know,

1054
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:43,520
the more people that we ultimately get
watching poker, the better it is

1055
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,880
for everyone in this game, and
we can grow it all together. So

1056
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:47,520
that's what I'll say. Tell a
couple of people out there that you think

1057
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,840
might be interested in it. Hey, you should check this out, whatever

1058
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:55,560
it may be, So let's do
that. Let's help spread the word as

1059
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:59,000
much as possible. I got nothing
else, buddy, I got nothing else.

1060
01:12:00,039 --> 01:12:02,199
While you're at these birthday parties and
weddings. I'm going to be sitting

1061
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:06,000
on my computer crunching numbers. I'm
going to be looking at all the events

1062
01:12:06,079 --> 01:12:10,399
last year. I'm going to be
calculating the levels. I'm going to be

1063
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:14,640
figuring out this streaming schedule. While
you enjoy your weekend. I'm going to

1064
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,319
be in the trenches. I'm going
to be in the lab. I'm going

1065
01:12:16,399 --> 01:12:20,520
to chance in hell and enjoy what
I'm going to have to do. Well.

1066
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:27,760
I'm going to figure this Monday,
it's going to be done. Okay,

1067
01:12:28,319 --> 01:12:30,560
I'm sure I'll pick it up my
version, my version anyway, and

1068
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:32,439
then yes, you'll pick it apart. All our buses will pick it apart,

1069
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,600
and then we'll do it again,
and some sort of compromise. But

1070
01:12:38,359 --> 01:12:41,840
ninety nine events, at least for
right now again, we made a bed.

1071
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,600
I think the TSC is going to
come off the top ropers one hundredth

1072
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,359
event. Tim doesn't think, don't
forget. Look I'm going to give you

1073
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:50,359
if it's not a bracelet event,
but they help they hold in those three

1074
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,880
months, it's going to be a
bracelet event. But I'm just letting you

1075
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:57,119
know. You do have a little
look you have a little bit of wiggle

1076
01:12:57,199 --> 01:13:00,439
room just in case, but as
things stand. As things stand, ninety

1077
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:06,560
nine Live Gold Bracelet events are announced
right now May twenty eighth through July seventeenth,

1078
01:13:08,319 --> 01:13:12,159
Cross between Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris, Las Vegas down on the Las

1079
01:13:12,239 --> 01:13:15,680
Vegas Strip. Can't wait for it
to happen. It's a lot of fun.

1080
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:16,800

twenty four WSP schedule release episode. Again,
