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
