WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:16.199 Hello everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go Podcast. 2 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.920 My name is Donny Peters. The man across some table from me is 3 00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.760 Tim Duckworth. How are you doing, sir, good evening. Stop chewing 4 00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.160 that gum like a good lord. You can hear that. Yes, it's 5 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.640 so loud. Really, I don't know if you're showing me. No, 6 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.280 it's so loud. Rich is gonna yell at you? Donate to spit it 7 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.719 out? Yeah? And why are you even chewing gum? Did you have 8 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.320 a mishap earlier with the gum? Tell people what happened. Well, you've 9 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.880 now lost the crown on your tooth twice this summer. The first time was 10 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.520 from like a sour patch thing. It just pulled my crown off. I 11 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.880 went in, they reglued it. They're gonna make me a new one. 12 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.560 It's gonna take a couple of weeks. Today I had dinner, put some 13 00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.240 gum in. Somebody felt funny, reached into my mouth and lift at the 14 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.679 crown up. So now that the same crown is sitting on my desk, 15 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.599 take it to the dentists on Monday. The reason I've gone right now is 16 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.319 I just wanted some minty stuff to wake me up in preparation for this very 17 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.319 podcast.

There are some events still going on. 25 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.760 We had one that one event wrap up today. Let we had two two 26 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.560 events wrapped up today. Two events were out that there was a lot going 27 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.840 on today, but two of its wrapped up found winners. There's a bunch 28 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.680 of other stuff that's going on. It's day one via the Colossus. On 29 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:12.560 today's show, Wyron Pooh wins the five k Noeleman hold Him six. Max 30 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.080 David Guay won the six hundred dollars deep stack. You have three players remaining 31 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.159 in the ten thousand dollars duced to seven single draw. That could change while 32 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.319 we're recording. They're about thirty feet to our left, so we'll keep you 33 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:35.360 updated on that one. Sina Okamoto leads the one K Ladies Championship final table. 34 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.159 You had the fifty k PLO bagging it up heading to day three, 35 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:46.960 eleven players remaining, Tim Wrights. Too many people to count in the Colossus. 36 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.560 I keep spelling colossus wrong, not a yeah, you put an ore, 37 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.960 do you? Honestly, I don't know. I thought this was like 38 00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:02.280 some Australians, just the Queen's English. So the Bravo said eight thousand, 39 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.039 one ninety one. The board currently says eight thousand, one hundred eighty eight. 40 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:14.039 If you look on Cowboys, it's definitely different. Yeah, but it 41 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.439 was. It's only off by three, but I think earlier I heard them 42 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.400 say they have thirty They had thirty voids or twenty something or whatever. Anyway, 43 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.919 we'll get into that in a little bit. Absolutely massive field in the 44 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.240 classes, that's what you need to tell.

Speaking of massive, 46 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.680 this field was ridiculous.

Is we've talked about 81 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:18.079 over the recent episodes China's Whir and Who Wins It All? Nine hundred and 82 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:25.560 thirty eight thousand dollars. It's the fifth gold bracelet one by a Chinese player 83 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.839 at the twenty twenty three World Series of Poker, which seems unbelievable. It's 84 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:36.959 very impressive, seems wile he beat Norbert Skessi in heads up play Hungarian player 85 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:43.240 who is a beast who has three WSFP goal bracelets. Tyler Cornell finished in 86 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:48.720 third place. I think Angelina Rich took fourth. I believe fun final table, 87 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.560 lots of big hands, all this big action that was live streamed on 88 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.600 Poker Go. So if you missed it, you can go check it out. 89 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.600 I would encourage you to do so. There were two Brazilians at the 90 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.839 final table, a lot of fun. I don't think. I don't think 91 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.360 Angelina Rich got fourth. I think you got fifth. By the way, 92 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:12.319 um anyway, um, Brazilian rails were fun. A lot of noisemakers, 93 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.800 had a big ass drum, looked great, had a dog all of it. 94 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.600 Let me this had it was an absolute party. M I stand by 95 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:26.519 it. The Americans have the worst rails in history. They remain dead last 96 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.720 in rails as far as I'm concerned, debt like dead last, pick a 97 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.600 rail. It's worse than the the Americans. Yugoslavia, I don't even think 98 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.399 they've had a rail. Does Luke Yugoslavia have a bracelet? Probably not, 99 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.600 since the Dundee really technically exists as a country and of it, I mean 100 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.079 it exists as a country. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Anyway, 101 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.959 Um, moving on, six hundred dollar Deep Stack Championship. Four thousand, 102 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.319 three hundred and three entries in that one, David Guay wins it all two 103 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.240 hundred and seventy thousand, almost two hundred and seventy one thousand. He's been 104 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.519 close many times before. Most notably he had a second place finished in the 105 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.480 one k double stack no limit hold him in twenty twenty one. He also 106 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.800 had a second place finished in twenty seventeen in the tag team event. So 107 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.879 close to bracelets, but no cigar until today, when he takes down the 108 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.319 six hundred dollars Deep Stacks Championship for almost two hundred seventy one k. He 109 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.439 also had finishes deep in the Doublest Pamain event. In twenty seventeen he came 110 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.959 twenty second. In two thousan nineteen he came sixty seconds, and then in 111 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.039 two thou nineteen also in that that one k double stack no limit hold him 112 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.320 that he finished second in twenty twenty one. Well in twenty nineteen he got 113 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:43.200 seven. So David Quay Crusher pretty much heems very good, very good. 114 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:48.240 French does seem very very good. The ten thousand dollars no limit deuced to 115 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.799 seven single draw championship. There are three players remaining. They just took a 116 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.480 break more than three hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars for first place. Chris 117 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:03.679 Brewer, Alex Livingston and Dave Odb Baker are the three players remaining. Believe 118 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.279 it's Odb with the chip lead, but chips have been swinging back and forth. 119 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.320 Not sure how big the chip lead is. I know Brewer did have 120 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.799 the chip lead for quite a bit of time. Alex Livingston also was pretty 121 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.039 healthy as well, so I'm assuming all three of those guys over there are 122 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.879 pretty close. Even if Baker is in the lead. Um, they're gonna, 123 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:24.720 I mean, they're gonna try to play to a winner tonight, but 124 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.159 I don't know if they're gonna get there. It's already past midnight. I 125 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.360 think they might have like one more level. The levels are ninety minutes, 126 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.360 so a lot could happened, but they have been pretty deep the whole time, 127 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:41.080 So we'll see. If Chris Brewer does find a victory in this event, 128 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.879 he would move into second in the Player of the Year race, which 129 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.320 is pretty cool, you know. Chris Brewer, of course, spent a 130 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.120 lot of time in poker, was like the bubble Boy, and every big 131 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.919 event you know, ran bad and in a bunch of huge spots, then 132 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.639 took some time like away from Broker. He still played, but less so 133 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.360 than he did before because he got a real job. And now this year 134 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.039 he's just back and he's absolutely annihilating everything. So it's good to see Chris 135 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.320 Brewer find a whole bunch of heats, including this event. Of course, 136 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.519 he won what the fifth super high. I was gonna say twenty five K, 137 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.919 and then I knew that didn't sound correct, and then I was about 138 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.559 to say fifty K, and I also thought that didn't sound correct either. 139 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:37.080 Um so anyway, Um, Daniel Lagron got fourth, fifth, fifth, 140 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.799 Daniel Lenarny got fifth. Close, but no cigar for kid poker. He 141 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:48.360 remains in search of his seventh BSP goal Ray So since forever ago? Yeah, 142 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.519 twenty thirteen in Europe and correct, Asia Pacific? Was that what it 143 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.879 was? I thought it was both that year because he won the Asia Pacific 144 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.960 and Mighty April whatever it was, and then he won the twenty five k 145 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.200 like hi Rolla to close out Europe, to close out Europe and winn play 146 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.320 over the year. But that that was all in twenty thirty yes, correct, 147 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.799 yes, sorry, and then Vegas brace So it's two thousand and seven, 148 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.519 I think it was. So he's getting close. You know. He 149 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.799 had a deep run in the ten case stet eight the other day. He 150 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.480 had a deep run earlier in the series in the I believe it was a 151 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:28.080 fifty plo. He had a deep run here in this ten K nolam aduce 152 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.279 to seven. So there's still a ton of poker left. That event was 153 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.000 UM sixty nine. There are ninety five live Gold Bracelet events okay, and 154 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.840 of course Daniels firing all the online stuff too, but just focusing on the 155 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.559 live stuff for a second. There are ninety five of them. That ten 156 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.080 thousand dollars nolam At Duces seven Lowball is vent number sixty nine, so you 157 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.159 know, he still has what twenty events left to play? Yeah, you 158 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.799 know, I know that math doesn't exactly work with a bunch of events I 159 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.039 kicked off. You know, hopefully it's just one of and he's already jumped 160 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.759 into the tent, you know, so he probably took a half hour off, 161 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.799 went back to his room, did that whole thing, and then fired 162 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.559 it in there. So we'll see how he goes in that one. Um. 163 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.120 But yeah, I mean it's good to see Daniel getting results and he 164 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.200 seems to be, you know, kinder knocking on the door of getting that 165 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.080 bracet. We'll see if he's able to break through before this summer wraps up 166 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.480 or if he's gonna have to wait another year. The one thousand dollars Ladies 167 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:31.000 Championship seven players remain from a field of twelve hundred and ninety five entries, 168 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.559 more than one hundred ninety two thousand dollars for first place. Good bump over 169 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.559 last year's hundred one thousand, sorry, not one hundred one thousand, seventy 170 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.960 four entries was what they had last year, So they're up more than two 171 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:50.639 hundred this year, which is very good. You have Japan's Sina Okamoto leading 172 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:58.720 the way, Tera Kane married Devorcan, Tamar Abraham, Susan, Suzanne Malavet, 173 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:05.000 Chrissy finiotis probably butchered that one for sure, and nam Win are of 174 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.120 the seven women remaining. They're gonna make it easy on you, did they? 175 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.200 They definitely did not. But I also didn't make it easy on myself 176 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.519 because I did no preparation and did him reading this for the first time, 177 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.399 So that's on me, my fault, ladies, I do apologize. Um, 178 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.840 they're all guaranteed more than twenty six thousand dollars, which is great. 179 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.519 Of course, they're going to play for that gold bracelet and more than one 180 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.480 hundred and ninety two thousand dollars. The final table of this event is going 181 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.200 to take place on Sunday, July second, and is going to be live 182 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:41.480 streamed on the poker Goo YouTube channel. Remco Rinkima is going to handle the 183 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.960 lead commentary. Duties calling the action and then we'll have is it the ace 184 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.480 holes? Is that what they call them? Caitlin Kemeski and Nikki Limo on 185 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.080 the call, they're going to be joining. I had I have him replaced, 186 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.000 but understandably so I get it. You know, we should also mentioned 187 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.200 Natalie bod He's gonna be on sidelines I think, doing elimination and the winners 188 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.200 interviews. Well, there you go. We're all in on this Ladies Championship, 189 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:15.240 are we are? I like it. Um the fifty thousand dollars pot 190 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:22.879 limit Omaha high Roller eleven players remain. Two hundred entries, two hundred crazy. 191 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.279 I had the over one sixty one crushed it. They had like thirty 192 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.519 like max late up entries. The King John Reardon was the last player to 193 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.159 get in. Then SnO ride in there. More than two point three million 194 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.919 dollars for first place in this one. It's just it's absolutely wild to turn 195 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.360 out in this thing. Tyler Smith is leading the way. He is a 196 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:54.000 pretty big lead big overall. Jesse Lonis is still in. Adam Hendricks, 197 00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:01.000 Janis Kronwitter, Isaac Hackson, and Player of the Year front runner Ian Matacus 198 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.960 is in there. He's in. He's what like nine or ten out of 199 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.440 eleven. He is actually eleventh's eleven eleven, So I'll have some work to 200 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:15.159 do, but it's good to see Ian breaking out onto the scene. He's 201 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.919 adding um guaranteed one hundred and fifty seven k adding two hundred and sixty five 202 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.440 per Whyte points, and Sean Deep today added zero after busting two events on 203 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.759 the bubble. I know, brutal right, UM, I mean, I'm 204 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.000 just going to call it right now. Im A Takeas is going to be 205 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.759 the breakout player of the year. That's just how this works. He's crushing 206 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.200 it. Um. I'm not sure if anyone will go on to have a 207 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.399 better year, but it seems like im A Takeus is, you know, 208 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.159 making a name for himself quite a big way. So I'm guessing that he's 209 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.480 going to be winning that one. Uh. Plan is to play to a 210 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.879 winner tomorrow in this event. So um, we'll recap that one when it 211 00:15:52.919 --> 00:16:00.559 wraps up. Four hundred dollars Colossus, another absolutely ridiculously large field in this 212 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:06.919 one. The line today was out of control. Out of control. I've 213 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.200 never seen a line that long at the World's Poker in my life. That 214 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.879 was so long. Even like the old days when it used to the old 215 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.240 days, I mean a couple of years ago, everyone used to like go 216 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.120 down the hallway, like down all the hallways at the Rio, like all 217 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.480 over the place. This seemed way longer. I mean, it never ended. 218 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.039 It felt like it never ended. It was out of control how big 219 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.120 it was. They ended up getting up to what looks like eight thousand, 220 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.120 one hundred and eighty eight entries on day one B Not sure if that number 221 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.759 is confirmed in full, but you know it's pretty close. Um, they're 222 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.960 playing down to well, I think they're in the last level, but I 223 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.120 also think they're going to try and get into the money. They're on the 224 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:52.399 bubble right now, remaining I think they play they pay twelve twenty nine or 225 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.600 somethingthing like that. So, um, so everyone's gonna get into the money. 226 00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:02.279 Um So, what fifteen thousand, eight hundred or so entries total in 227 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:10.880 this field? Now, where does that put it in the biggest poker tournaments 228 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.839 of all time? Well, it's eighth. You got some stats for us. 229 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.480 I do have some stats I've been doing this day. You know, 230 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.440 I wanted to see where it was. You know, it's always I wanted 231 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:25.680 to put this stuff down on paper because you know, every single time one 232 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.279 of these events comes up, we're all all asking ourselves like, oh, 233 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.799 well, you know, is it the biggest all time or where does it 234 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.319 rank as for the biggest all time? So I figured I would like actually 235 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.039 put these stats down on paper so that we have them. Number one, 236 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.359 of course, twenty eight thousand, three hundred and seventy one entries, that 237 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:47.839 is the twenty nineteen WOP Big fifty. I will say this, The fifteen 238 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.400 that I looked at are all DOUBSIP events, okay, which is, you 239 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.119 know, just a testament to the big fields that they churn out here at 240 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.880 the World Series of Poker. So twenty nineteen, that was at the Rio, 241 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:03.480 they had the Big fifties celebrating the fiftieth annual WSP. This one had 242 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:08.920 you know, a whole bunch of marketing things tied in five million dollars guarantee 243 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.400 you start with fifty thousand chips, fifty minute levels, you know, all 244 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.640 that sort of stuff, five hundred dollars buying, you know, blah blah 245 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.920 blah. Twenty eight thousand, three hundred and seventy one. Very it has 246 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.960 a very big lead over the rest of the field, and second place is 247 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.640 from earlier at this World Series of Poker, at the twenty twenty three Gladiators 248 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:33.000 of Poker twenty three thousand and eighty eight entries, so that big fifty that 249 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.720 I mentioned more than five thousand entries, more than the next closest. Then 250 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.519 you have two Colossus fence, and third you have the two fifteen WSP Colossus 251 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:47.440 that had twenty two thousand, three hundred and seventy four and then not too 252 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.920 far behind it in fourth place you have the two thousand and sixteen WSP Colossus 253 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.920 with twenty one thousand, six hundred and thirteen. Then last year, kicking 254 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.599 off the World Series of Poker and it's moved to the Lass Strip, you 255 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:07.680 had the WSP Housewarming event appropriately named of course, also more than twenty thousand, 256 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.200 So the top five on this list are all over twenty thousand entries. 257 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:18.119 The Housewarming had twenty thousand and eighty entries. Sixth also coming from this year, 258 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.759 so there's three, there's three in the top fifteen, three in the 259 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.480 top ten, three in the top eight from the twenty twenty three World Twos 260 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:32.880 of Poker, and there's a chance that there's a fourth one that gets into 261 00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:36.319 this top fifteen. There's probably a chance that there's two more that get into 262 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.599 the top fifteen, to be honest, we'll get into that in a second. 263 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:44.519 Just also add before you continue last YEA twenty twenty two three events all 264 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.799 on this list ten thousand or more entrance three three this year. Yep, 265 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.759 this one is the twenty twenty three to beat Mystery Millions eighteen thousand, one 266 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.920 hundred and eighteen entries. So with this one, it's a little bit different 267 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.880 and the other ones except for one other one because it had a thousand dollars 268 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.480 buying YEA, and all the other ones are SEB one thousand, except for 269 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.519 one other one. Now I'll get to that in a little bit. Seventh 270 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.160 and eighth on this list. Seventh is eighteen thousand and fifty four entries. 271 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.839 That's the Colossus from two thousand and seventeen. And then the eighth one is 272 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.240 what we just mentioned this tournament this year. The colossus fifteen thousand, eight 273 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.640 hundred and sixty four is the number that I have right now, but that's 274 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.400 the unofficial number. It might change a little bit, but it's not going 275 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:33.440 to change. It's ranking on this list behind that one. Twenty twenty two 276 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.079 WSP Million Dollar Bounty also had a one thousand dollars buying fourteen thousand and one 277 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.720 hundred and twelve entries. Then in tenth place, oh look, another colossus. 278 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.839 The colossus is just crushing. Yeah, it really is. It's it's 279 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:51.000 it's the tournament. It's it's good because it's the tournament that started this whole 280 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:53.279 thing. You know when it first came onto the scene, when they had 281 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:57.519 that first one in two thousand and fifteen, you know, that was like 282 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:03.839 the first map of field, smaller buy in, you know, multi flight, 283 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.480 all that sort of stuff. So that started it. So it's only 284 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.319 fitting that it has many spots on this list. M Tenth place is the 285 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.519 twenty twenty two WP Colossus thirteen thousand, five hundred and sixty five. I 286 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.119 got two hundred and thirty fifth place, and I just want to remind everyone 287 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.599 just how good I am. What I yeah, you got you gotta plug 288 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:29.119 yourself, man. Let's got eleven to twelve WSP Colossus again. Eleventh is 289 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:33.279 two thousand nineteen Colossus, twelfth is two thousand and eighteen Colossus. Both over 290 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.319 thirteen thousand. You had thirteen thousand, one hundred and nine entries in two 291 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.640 thousand nineteen, and then before that's thirteen thousand and seventy entries. Then thirteenth 292 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.960 place, twenty twenty one WSP Reunion coming out of the pandemic or coming back, 293 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.839 come back to the rio, have the reunion that's kicking things off, 294 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.119 twelve thousand, nine hundred and seventy three entries. In fourteenth place, you 295 00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.480 had the two thousand NINETEENSP Crazy Eights ten thousand and one, one hundred and 296 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:06.240 eighty five entries, and then in fifteenth place last right now, at least 297 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.440 as things currently stand right now, again, this could change because I think 298 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:14.400 there could be some events that are contending to get themselves on this list. 299 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:21.680 You have in fifteenth place the two thousand and SEVENTEENSP Giant. That one had 300 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:25.480 ten thousand and fifteen entries, so two events. So so remember, break 301 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.680 into the top fifteen, you need at least ten thousand and fifteen entries, 302 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:32.279 two events that I think are in play. One deity main event. Yes, 303 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:34.640 I mean, it just seems like now now with all these numbers like 304 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:40.200 this, ten thousand is very much in play. You know, I'm not 305 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.279 exactly sure if I would be like wagering on that or how much I would 306 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.480 be wagering on it, but it seems like more so than ever, ten 307 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.119 thousand is in play. I also think maybe the seven seven sevens is probably 308 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:56.160 Yeah, just with all these events as big as they are. You know 309 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.960 that event number seventy seven, the seven hundred and seventy seven dollars are lucky 310 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:07.079 sevens, no limit hold them has three starting flights. Okay, so I 311 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.839 mean you can it is unlimited rantry per flight the Colossus, by the way, 312 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.880 one more nod to the Colossus. Two starting flights. You can only 313 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.640 reenter once per day. You used to have six starving flight. You used 314 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.880 to be able to go bananas whatever. Now it's you can put four bolts 315 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.480 in that thing, max and then just quickly again, I just want to 316 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.440 say something about myself one more time. I didn't I didn't play today. 317 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:33.759 We talked about it yesterday and I said maybe, but I didn't play today. 318 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.480 I came in a little late. I saw the line and I said, 319 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.000 no, thank you, I will not be doing that today. But 320 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.799 yeah, this this uh seven seven seven Lucky sevens event, it's seven handed 321 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:52.359 there is seven hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars guaranteed to first place. It's 322 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.519 actually seven seven seven seven seven seven guaranteed to first place. I mean that 323 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.559 one's gonna be wild. That's one you and I jump into. Later on, 324 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.880 we'll see all the main event goals, we'll see what our work schedules 325 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.440 like. But um, the only problem with that one's gonna be bonan. 326 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.039 You touched on it being seven handed still in the early parts of the main 327 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.720 event. Maybe they have some issues with tables available, dealers available, and 328 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:21.000 you know, we hit some line some registration issues, so that might be 329 00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:26.559 the only, you know, argument against your thoughts on potentially getting a five 330 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:32.119 figure entrant list number. But listen, they had some dealer shortages the past 331 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:36.359 couple days in the Colossus, and they still managed to have the eighth largest 332 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:37.839 available all time. I'm ready to be put in. Pull me in, 333 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.680 coach. I mean, I know you can deal very well. Um, 334 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.640 I would also offer my services for a fee. I can deal as well. 335 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.200 Um, the only problem with me is I pitched left handed, and 336 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.039 I know they don't like that for TV tables, so I can't do on 337 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:55.400 TV. Don't worry you're gonna be out there in orange table four fifty one, 338 00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.079 right, just linking. Make sure that I'm in the tundra section. 339 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.160 Oh yeah, you want the call. I heard there other room is hot 340 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:06.599 as heck today, you mean down there? I heard that they had to 341 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.119 that the head supervisor, uh told the TVs they can take their jackets off 342 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.160 because it's too hot. So and we've been it's because it's outside. I 343 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.519 don't know, outside as hot as hell. I mean, you guys, 344 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.480 today's the first day it's over one hundred degrees in outside. It's muggy. 345 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.759 Yeah, it's muggy. I don't know why it's muggy, Like it didn't 346 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:29.799 rain. No, well, I want to know it being inside the whole 347 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.240 day. No. But we went on to the trailer a couple of times, 348 00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.079 like yeah, but like normally when it's hot in Vegas, you know, 349 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.960 it's fine, it's hot, but it's dry, you know. But 350 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.279 for whatever reason, it's extremely muggy today. It's really weird. Um, 351 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.599 and I think that that's obviously probably just affecting things in here. In that 352 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.720 room that I was suggesting, they have very little ceilings, you know, 353 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.720 all that sort of stuff. So um, tricky spot. But you know 354 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.359 it's not It's not as bad as it was last year with the AC one 355 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.480 of the AC units being broken last year. It's fine, Um, you 356 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.880 know so, but I feel for the tds because they're running around suits. 357 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.880 You know so. Um. But you know, speaking of the dealer shortage, 358 00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.799 you and I were talking today in our coffee walk that you know, 359 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:15.000 we had an idea because the Clossus is going. We walked through the line. 360 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.160 We see how long this thing is. He took a video of it 361 00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:21.119 to to send a producers. I wanted to show him what the madness was, 362 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:22.799 like, how big the event was, and also kind of give him 363 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.720 some foamo. Why he's not here playing some of these events. He could 364 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.200 be live plotting with us and producing right here on the fly. Well, 365 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.480 he wouldn't be. He would just be producing. He wouldn't be on the 366 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.759 pot. Now. Rich is a great Rich is the best podcast host in 367 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.759 the universe. Look, we had to go to mix and I already gave 368 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.400 up mine for Sean Dabe, not giving up for Richild Okay, so, 369 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:52.279 but then they were starting the ten thousand dollars super Turbo Bounty, which there 370 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:57.039 was like thirty to forty dealers like waiting to kick that off. But why 371 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.720 wouldn't you use those dealers for the colossus. But then you also want to 372 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.359 give an event for the higher buying players, the people that are going to 373 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.279 skip the Colossus not play that right, You want to give them an option, 374 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.640 So we thought of before you Before you continue, I know why they 375 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.480 were waiting round because the deal is already scheduled to start it. No, 376 00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.720 I'm saying they were waiting roun because the event was about to start. They 377 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.319 weren't like just standing there doing nothing for an hour. They were to alice 378 00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:29.480 but all But all I'm saying is that, like what But that still doesn't 379 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.319 matter for what I'm about to say. Continue. All I'm saying is that 380 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.799 I wouldn't We both agreed that you shouldn't start the ten thousand dollars Super Turbo 381 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.440 Bounty on this day, or on any day that you have a big field 382 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.880 no limit of it. You should start like the ten thousand dollars Study eight 383 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.440 or ten thousand dollars Horse or the ten thousand dollars Omaha eight or better those 384 00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:55.000 three events specifically because they're ten thousand dollars buying events. So they cater to 385 00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.559 that sort of player that is likely going to avoid playing the Big Field No 386 00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:03.559 Limit event. Okay, Now, those three events specifically always tend to run 387 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.799 an extra day. They're scheduled for three days, they usually go a fourth 388 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.160 day because the structures are nice and long for those players. You know, 389 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.480 there's split pot games involved obviously, you know Study eight and Omaha eight are 390 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.359 split pots specifically, and then in Horse you have some split pot games in 391 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:23.720 the mix. So that doesn't help really speeding things up. So that said, 392 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.200 what we thought of is why don't you start those events on those days, 393 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.759 So like day one B of the Colossus, Day whatever, the last 394 00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:34.160 days of the gladi Eaters, and then like Day one B or whatever the 395 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.960 last day is of the Millionaire Maker for example. Okay, and you started 396 00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:41.839 at like seven or eight pm. Yes, you started super late. So 397 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:49.720 it's it's kind of right around the time when registration closes for the Big Field 398 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:55.440 No Limit event that day, So you're using all the dealers all throughout the 399 00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:57.640 day to get more people in their seats for the Big Field No Limit event. 400 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.400 Then once it comes time, you know, you ushered those doers over 401 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.119 to the other stuff, and then you. But but now we're not saying 402 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:07.880 play a full day one starting it like a PM. No, we're saying 403 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.799 play like four hours. Yeah, because if those events are going to end 404 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.039 up lasting three and a half days anyway, well then you just get that 405 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.279 half day out of the way earlier and then and then it takes three days 406 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.880 from there, and then you can keep registration open the whole like next day 407 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.000 pretty much, which kind of solves the issue of like the day two registration, 408 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:27.400 which is when like you know, you have forty people showing up before 409 00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.759 the start of day two and then delays things. You know. So that 410 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.160 was our solution that we were thinking about today. We think it would work. 411 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.799 You said you talked to some players they didn't care for, but it's 412 00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.319 not really about them. It's about the It's about getting that line to move 413 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.599 faster. Yeah, this is more about the you know, the WSAP side 414 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:51.599 of things, let alone the players. But it seems like talking to some 415 00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:56.000 some players out there and the kind of vibe you get on social media that 416 00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:57.920 the structures are probably going to change in some way next year, you would 417 00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:02.960 think, you know, these these ten k's at a forty minutes for the 418 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.160 first eight levels, then sixty minutes for the next x levels, and then 419 00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.599 it goes to ninety minutes. Is is maybe a little too much play for 420 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.079 this, So I think something's going to get changed. And then obviously, 421 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:17.720 once the structures are altered, you know, the schedules might change slightly, 422 00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:21.680 so you know, maybe our idea has to wait another year. One things 423 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:30.039 that you have to consider for I think all tournament organizers is that as poker 424 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:36.960 progresses, players get better. So if you're also making the structure better every 425 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:41.359 single year, you might not be considering the fact that the players are also 426 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:47.079 getting very better, much better, and you know, not busting as quickly 427 00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.640 like or you know, taking a little bit longer on decisions, all that 428 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:53.640 sort of stuff. So like the two things together just kind of draw everything 429 00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:59.480 out. I could actually argue that they may actually bust quicker because they're better, 430 00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:03.880 They're more willing to take chances in different spots. They might nut up. 431 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.839 Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, that's saying that, that's the 432 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:10.799 truth. I could just I could just probably argue that. But I think 433 00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:14.599 the nother limits structures are okay if the law buyings, you know, they 434 00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.720 I think the no limits structures are great. Yeah, so I think it's 435 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.000 love. I love everything one thousand dollars everything, probably fifteen hundred dollars are 436 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.079 lower. You should be in the money day one. I think we need 437 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.079 you should be in the money day one or and I'm now I'm talking like 438 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.799 everything, like even including the mixed games. Somehow get the like the fifteen 439 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.319 horse in the money on day one. I don't care how you do it. 440 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:38.200 I don't care if you need to alienate the Allencasters of the world. 441 00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:41.519 Just just do it, okay, you know. I mean we were talking 442 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.640 some of the players the other day, like in some of the events, 443 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.200 like they play a day and a half, almost the full two days, 444 00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:49.640 and they're like just getting in the money in They're like min cash you for 445 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:52.200 a two hundred dollar profit, Like they don't want to do that, you 446 00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.960 know, get them in and get them out, like you know, I'm 447 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.960 sorry, Like some of the players are going to be alienated. But though 448 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.839 his players that are likely alienated also need to understand that a faster structure is 449 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.400 probably better for them in the long run. I think so, like a 450 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:09.880 faster structure is probably better for Allen Kessler to be honest, forces him to 451 00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:15.680 actually play. What's what's the solution to just getting butts in Saints? Now, 452 00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:20.160 Let's we obviously get a bigger venue. I mean this venue is the 453 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.839 biggest it's ever been. Like I'm saying that's like, that's like not something 454 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:30.519 that's possible. I mean like getting like you don't have space like they use 455 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:32.839 the capacity. I mean it's crazy. I'm pretty sure we could fit twenty 456 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.319 more tables in this room. No, because it comes down to you know, 457 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:42.880 um like fire laws and restrictions and capacity and blah blah blah, like 458 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:44.960 all that sort of stuff. It all happens. Yeah, it's the same 459 00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:46.559 thing at the studio. Like you and I are like, well, we 460 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.039 can fit twenty tables in here, and they're like, no, you can't. 461 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.160 You know, there's security, there's there's that, there's fireways, you 462 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.440 can't block the eggs that you can't do this, and we're like, no, 463 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:58.440 we can just do whatever we want. There's there's a foot here for 464 00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:00.160 people to walk, like you know, and then like god forbid, you 465 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:04.799 have something like last year where there's that crazy thing and there's a stampede of 466 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:07.599 people trying to run out, Like that's why you have to be weary of 467 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.759 this sort of stuff, you know, so honestly wondering something like the Colossus. 468 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:13.880 I know, we're down to two flights in this event, why not 469 00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:16.759 go back to four flights but actually have two on the same day. So 470 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:20.640 it's a staggered you know, we have at ten am and then we have 471 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:24.400 a four pm. You know, you could do the you could do like 472 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:28.640 one and then like the later one is turbo or a little bit something like 473 00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.519 that. Yeah, these are forty minute levels. May you do twenty minute 474 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:34.440 levels? I would still fire that. I would probably prefer to fire that 475 00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.880 one, you know, it just be better for my schedule. I also 476 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.480 think that we when we have these big field events, what is there three 477 00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.119 four of them on the schedule, Let's just clear just like we do it 478 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:46.759 for the main event, where we clear the schedule for the first five days, 479 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:50.680 first five or six days, you do the same for these things. 480 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.000 Clear it. So there's no like twenty five hundred big bet mix of four 481 00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:59.759 pm or something. It's just everything is focused on just getting butts in seats 482 00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.000 for the Colossus day one, well, the Gladia to day ones, and 483 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:08.480 we just move on. I mean understand, I mean I think that's gonna 484 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:15.239 that's probably gonna become much more of a thing going forward, you know, 485 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.920 in the next immediate one to two years, because of the competition that goes 486 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.440 on around town. Yeah, and the venues around town. You know, 487 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:28.599 a lot of them pay attention to that sort of stuff. So I mean 488 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.440 they're obviously working with different schedules, they're different animals. Like you know, 489 00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:35.960 they're only running one or two tournaments a day. They're not running fucking twelve 490 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:37.679 and like all the sort of stuff, Like I get it, you know, 491 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.519 the us because it don't beast right, but also at some point, 492 00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:44.199 like it might need to be addressed or be pushed more to be addressed. 493 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.920 But who knows. I Like what Patrick Leonard was saying a couple of weeks 494 00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:51.880 ago on social media is that all of the big field no limit events, 495 00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:57.280 so Millionaire Maker, Monster Stack Colossus, glad Eaters of Poker, like all 496 00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:01.880 this sort of stuff have online flights, Like somehow figure out whatever structure works 497 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:07.199 with the Like it's it's online. You mean, you're not gonna have forty 498 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.719 minutes online, you know, but like does twelve minutes equal forty minutes live? 499 00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.360 Like whatever it is and then all the players just converge for day two. 500 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.320 You know, you charge the same same buy in same rake, like 501 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.280 all this sort of stuff. You can play online, like, you know, 502 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:25.760 I think that that would would work. I mean, yeah, I 503 00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.800 just the only thing that I don't know about in that regard, and this 504 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:32.400 actually might be one hindrance now that I think about it, is like, 505 00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:38.000 if I'm playing the classes live, can I also play it online? I'm 506 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:44.159 my computer, and how would it determine that I'm playing two times? Oh, 507 00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.000 you just have an online flight that's just a different flat. It's just 508 00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:51.840 like you can't bag both flights, is what I'm saying. You can't bag 509 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.519 Tom. But but I could play multiple flights at one time. Maybe it's 510 00:35:54.559 --> 00:36:00.519 Australia's favorite. Accumulate a style, Well you can do that, Okay. 511 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:01.880 It depends what the goal is here, really, you know. I mean 512 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.719 I think the goal you know is always well, revenue number one. Like 513 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:09.559 you obviously, it's a it's a business. I get it, you know, 514 00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:13.760 you don't have to run the But then also like I think I think 515 00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:16.840 it's a good thing overall. Every time the WSP has bigger numbers, I 516 00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:19.639 think that's a very good thing. And it's not just a good thing for 517 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.119 the world toos poker. It's obviously very good for the world too poker, 518 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.280 but it's good for poker in general. I mean even walking through the field. 519 00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.679 The couple times that I walked through the CLASSUS today, everyone was talking 520 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:30.719 about the numbers, and not only the numbers in this specific event. With 521 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.000 the numbers and like all of the smaller buy in events, how they're so 522 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.079 good, and that's like that translates to when these people then go home, 523 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.920 they talk to all their friends and family, like it all just kind of 524 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.519 grows in general. Like, let's pretend the CLASSUS is right now. Next 525 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.119 year, you could just through the online flights you know too a week over 526 00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:52.880 the first three weeks, and if you bag the online flights, you're ineligible 527 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:57.760 to play the live, So that would possibly help reduce some of these numbers 528 00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.840 in the crazy line you know you do it. One hundred people bag, 529 00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:04.440 that's one hundred less people that are playing the last flight live that that are 530 00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.880 you know, sitting in line and keeping things you know you do I mean 531 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.880 early you do, I mean the first three weeks, so there's no overlapping 532 00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:15.159 into the into the live two flights, and that's probably a pretty good solution. 533 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:16.320 Yeah, if you could figure out something like that, I think that 534 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.800 would be great. Um. I think that that would also you know, 535 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:24.400 boost revenue because I think people would be be firing NonStop, which would be 536 00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:35.360 mean. I guess I should ask the question again because I keep asking it. 537 00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:37.800 How big is a manument gon to be? I mean, every time 538 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.559 we get user goes, I know, but that's why I want to I 539 00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:44.639 want to keep asking it because now it's like, you know, I think 540 00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:50.559 ten thousands or colossus. The Colossus last year had UM thirteen thousand, five 541 00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:54.199 hundred and sixty five. So this year, the unofficial number has it about 542 00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:59.239 twenty three hundred more entries. Yeah, but that doesn't correlate to a ten 543 00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:00.800 thousand dollar buy. No, but I'm saying, I'm just saying. I'm 544 00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:05.360 not saying exactly like you know, you're gonna get that percentage greater in the 545 00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:09.239 main event. I'm just saying that, like it's just it's a it's an 546 00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:13.719 idea of the growth across the board for all of these tournaments, you know. 547 00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:16.800 Yeah, I mean I'm confident over nine thousand. I'm not confident on 548 00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:22.639 ten. I guess my next like a hurdle is like ninety three hundred, 549 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.519 I said, coming into the summer ninety four hundred. So I guess I'm 550 00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:30.079 kind of with you in that regard. I was, I mean, I 551 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:35.239 was confidently over nine thousand, just hearing everything that the World Series of Poker 552 00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:39.519 is doing in regards to satellites and working with their partners both live and online 553 00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:43.960 all over the world. Um, I think there was a press note, 554 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.239 you know, a week or two ago or whatever. Maybe somebody told us 555 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:51.239 this. I can't remember exactly, but um, Gig Poker, between Gig 556 00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:55.840 Poker and Club GG has qualified like seven hundred and seventy four players. There's 557 00:38:55.880 --> 00:39:00.440 been stuff from WP dot com where they're now like in like the home stretch 558 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:04.440 and they're doing like one hundred and twelve seats sprint basically like like the last 559 00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.719 week leading into it, they're gonna be giving away all these different seats. 560 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.679 They have all those you know, all in only satellites online. They got 561 00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:15.239 satellites regular satellites that run online. They have a twenty five seat scramble that's 562 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:17.000 coming up, like all that sort of stuff. Right, You obviously have 563 00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:21.559 the live stuff the live satellites that have started, So there's that, you 564 00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.159 know. So, I mean, it seems like it's going to be massive. 565 00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:29.519 It seems like everyone is just trying to sell for it, Like I 566 00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:31.400 mean, I do think some people are kind of getting ahead of themselves. 567 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:35.000 I mean some people are like, it's going to hit eleven thousand. I'm 568 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:38.039 like, OK, can we just slow down? Because then I don't want 569 00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:43.920 the anticipation to be so great that it ends up being a letdown. Yeah, 570 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.519 because if it breaks the record from two thousand and six when Jamie Gold 571 00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:53.440 won and he won twelve million freaking dollars, Okay, then that needs to 572 00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:58.320 be absolutely celebrated. You know, it shouldn't be Oh, we all thought 573 00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:00.039 it was gonna get eleven thousand and it only got nineties two hundred, Like, 574 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:05.320 no, are you guys drunk two hundred or whatever? He ends up 575 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:09.679 getting four A ten thousand dollars buying event is going to be ridiculous. Um. 576 00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:14.119 So anyway, that's gonna be a lot of fun when it comes around. 577 00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:17.519 It does kick off on Monday, day one a of the Devist main 578 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:24.519 events, four starting flights. It's gonna be wild. Uh one C I 579 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:31.320 think Um, I don't want to have to be um forced into playing ten 580 00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:36.239 handed if that's what it comes to on day one day, so I would 581 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:38.960 just rather avoid it. Um. Day one B is obviously the fourth of 582 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:45.760 July, so I don't I don't know about playing that one. Um you 583 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:51.440 got a big barbecue? No, But I mean like, I feel like, 584 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.840 who's going to plan that day all the years? In Brazilians? Yeah, 585 00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:58.880 I don't want to play with them. I would like to avoid them. 586 00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:01.760 Yeah, that makes specifically avoid the Brazilians because they just give me headaches 587 00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:06.960 the whole time, like they're very feel like July fourth would always for me 588 00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:10.119 be one day because I think it has a chance to that. I don't 589 00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:14.360 care. I don't care about it. I would just start one D for 590 00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:16.440 me would be a Saturday. I want to make one day the small. 591 00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:20.599 I want to make Monday small, so I want people to play the other 592 00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:22.519 flight. So what do we do? We should put it on a Tuesday, 593 00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:25.079 and it should be July fourth, that's probably, but I'm not I'm 594 00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:30.199 not dictating it on the specific date. I'm trying to get the biggest numbers 595 00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.119 into the tournament period, and I think that that's always whatever you're fin If 596 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.400 you're playing the main event, you're gonna play it anyway. We're gonna choose 597 00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:37.920 the day you want to play. And I think we should be trying to 598 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:42.559 make Day one a We've discussed ideas to make Day one a bigger Day one. 599 00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:45.440 I should always be a Saturday or a Friday, or even a Friday. 600 00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.639 We try to make that flight big us to limit the issues on Day 601 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.639 disagree with you this whole Like, you know, you're just gonna play. 602 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:55.559 If you're gonna play the main event, You're gonna play it if it's on 603 00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:59.519 a Monday or a Saturday. You know. I know people that are missing 604 00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:01.800 it, that are not coming because they don't want to take certain time off 605 00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:05.559 work and they just know that like it'll always be here and it's not that 606 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:07.880 big of a deal, so they won't use like PTO and that sort of 607 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:09.960 stuff because if they come, they have to take the whole week off. 608 00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:14.519 Like there are people in the real world like that. Yes, there are 609 00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:17.480 people who play one Ay on Saturday, go back home. Take one Day 610 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:22.639 isn't on Saturday. I'm saying Monday. Yeah, it's it's a weird day 611 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.800 to Sun. Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, which just seems really weird 612 00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:29.719 to me. Should we care? I mean we would care. I think 613 00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:34.760 being on when the Final Table Asks this year is airing like Sunday night, 614 00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:36.760 Monday night, is that like a bad day to have it? I'm not 615 00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:39.280 really, it's a bad day to happen. Yeah, that I think it 616 00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:44.280 should air. The Final Table should air on a Monday night, in a 617 00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:46.360 Tuesday night if if it's still doing the two day things. See Sunday the 618 00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:50.039 Horrible Sunday's a horrible day. We know it's a horrible day. We know 619 00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.559 the numbers. No one watches on Sunday anything. No one does anything on 620 00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:57.920 the weekend other than hang out. Like you're right, but I think that 621 00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:05.119 the production see it's like it's kind of counterintuitive because in the content world, 622 00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:07.000 you know, you think, like, oh, Saturday, Sunday, people 623 00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:12.119 aren't doing anything, so they have more time to consume content. Like that's 624 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:16.239 kind of what you think, yes, but content gets consumed way more Monday 625 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:21.400 through Friday, and usually Monday through Friday like nine to five during the times 626 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:23.000 and people are supposed to be working, and like you would think, oh, 627 00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:25.960 well, you know, somebody's working Monday at ten am. They're not 628 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.719 consuming content. No, they're they're probably f and off at work consuming content, 629 00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.719 you know, like that's what they that's what people do. So you 630 00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.599 know, and then we also know that like the later in the week, 631 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.239 it's also not the best Friday, people are like ari to the weekend, 632 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:43.920 you know, Thursday example, like stuff like that. So I would try 633 00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:49.679 and target it on a Monday and a Tuesday, maybe even a Tuesday and 634 00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:54.679 a Wednesday. That way you can sort of build up to it on the 635 00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:58.960 Monday because people are coming off the weekend, they're paying attention to the news 636 00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:02.199 more they see Oh doubs be an event final tables tomorrow on Tuesday. Cool, 637 00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:05.480 I'm going to tune in, you know, like I think, I 638 00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:07.960 think it's either Monday, Tuesday or Tuesday Wednesday would be the best day. 639 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:13.679 There's w should be care about viewership live. I mean they should more eyeballs 640 00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:15.920 than your products. Yeah, you should have more. You should always want 641 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.679 more evaals in your products. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know 642 00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:22.079 if it's on the top of the way you don't want people to watch I'm 643 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:28.039 saying on that list of priority when they're looking at a schedule. Should and 644 00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:30.639 I said, yes, well, yes, they should care about everything, 645 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.840 but like you know, we know that's not really possible. Yeah, I 646 00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:37.679 understand that certain things take priority over other things. But you know, the 647 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:43.480 US being in events, I guess in a perfect world, thinks start to 648 00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:46.480 quiet down, you know, so you can then obviously focus on that more 649 00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:50.960 so. Yeah. So yeah, but all things considered, you know, 650 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.119 they're doing a pretty awesome job this year. You know, the field numbers 651 00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:58.400 are through the freaking roof. I don't know where the total number is. 652 00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:00.800 You know, every year they say like, oh, this year we had 653 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:02.559 one hundred and ninety thousand total inch you know, whatever the number is, 654 00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.480 whatever, whatever, whatever last year was, they're going to be over it 655 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.559 again this year. I mean, I trust me, I understand that the 656 00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:13.719 immediate pushback to that is, oh, well they just have more bracelet events 657 00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:15.320 than ever. Yeah, but if you break it down by average, it's 658 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:19.400 gonna be way higher. It just has to be. Yeah, these freaking 659 00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:23.599 tournaments. Speaking of by the way, this ten K super turbo bounty, 660 00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:29.119 this thing, what did it get last year? Four hundred and like fifty 661 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:37.000 it had six forty two? I out of control? Who is everyone getting 662 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:38.719 this money from save it for the main event. People. People were asking 663 00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:43.039 me the other day. I was talking to Mac glance and Paul Volpi. 664 00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:45.639 They're like, where is everyone getting their money from? I said, honestly, 665 00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:50.320 I kind of feel like they've just been sitting on it. I mean, 666 00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:53.559 yeah, they've been sitting on it. I also feel like people might 667 00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:58.920 be just kind of yoloing not not you know, not not getting the returns 668 00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:00.880 that they want in the stock market or crypto or this or that whatever, 669 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.599 and they're just like, you know what, I'll go play poker with it. 670 00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.119 I got shot there, let's go most. I mean, I think 671 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:10.280 there's kind of like the yolo factor in a lot of ways. I think 672 00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:14.039 some people, I think it might also be a bit of foma. You 673 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:15.840 know, people obviously might have missed the COVID year at the Rio or the 674 00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.519 last Rayo year, and maybe they didn't come last year as well. Well 675 00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:23.440 now they're like all I'm all in. Like I've seen so many Australians. 676 00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:29.800 I think some people last year probably I don't know how many, but it's 677 00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:31.880 there's probably a number who wanted to see how it would go on the strip. 678 00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.719 Yep, you want to see how it would go. You're coming off 679 00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.639 the pandemic year, you know, you maybe you had a year away from 680 00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:42.480 it, you didn't go You're like, okay, like let's see how it 681 00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.559 is on the strip and then I'll go from there. Obviously it was Gangbusters 682 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:49.519 last year. It was awesome. The venue's great. We all know that. 683 00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:52.800 Like, you know, all the concerns that people had coming in to 684 00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:58.920 the venue switch I think are nothing. You know, I think it's clearly 685 00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:02.280 proven that's a way better venue here. The only one thing that I could 686 00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:05.800 do without is the walk in the middle going through the smoke. And do 687 00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.800 you know other than that, Other than that, everything is good. Um. 688 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.440 You know, one other thing it could be is that people picked up 689 00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.679 poker during you know, the pandemic, learned to play, spent a year 690 00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:21.159 getting better, building bank rolls. Now they're in a position to play a 691 00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:23.800 few of those smaller buying events. All those that were at that stakes already 692 00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:28.239 now playing some of the bigger buying events. So just a little mini kind 693 00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:31.039 of pandemic poker boom, you know, to get a new injection of place. 694 00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:36.199 Yeah, I mean, like everything, it's not one thing or another 695 00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.280 thing. It's it's a combination of factors and they all push things in one 696 00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:45.079 direction. This year, I think thatsp did a good job marketing some things. 697 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:49.599 The two that stick out to me the most, well, there's three, 698 00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.960 but one has kind of yet to happen. One, the glad Hes 699 00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.400 Poker, I think was marketed extremely well. I think the name was good. 700 00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:58.920 I think the three hundred dollar buying thing was good. You know, 701 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:00.960 obviously that's going to be a assa field would get it. I also think 702 00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:06.480 moving that the mystery bounty event this year called the Mystery Millions, moving that 703 00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:08.320 up to the front of the schedule I also think was a very good thing 704 00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.960 overall. So you know, they added the guaranteed million dollars first place prize 705 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.559 to that, so you know, I think that those elements help and they're 706 00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:20.440 kind of thrown into the bucket of all the different things that are working in 707 00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:24.000 the right direction. I also think the marketing for the Diversity main event has 708 00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:28.360 been extremely good so far. You know, they they've did the main event 709 00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.800 media thing with all their partners. They've had all these satellites, like you 710 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:35.280 know, they're all they're constantly talking about the record and breaking the record and 711 00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:37.880 all this sort of stuff. So I know, we don't have like a 712 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:42.639 result yet, but you know, I think we're all like it's going to 713 00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:45.679 break the record. It's just by a factor of how much, you know, 714 00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:49.400 God forbid it fall short of the record, because that would be a 715 00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:52.599 you know, we're all just like penciling in nine thousand plus, right. 716 00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:58.519 So yeah. I mean. Even another thing that I haven't heard talked about 717 00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.480 too much but I know is out there is the main event seat for life. 718 00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:07.320 You know, if it breaks the record, they're gonna draw a name 719 00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.559 from everyone that played, and if that person gets drawn, then they're gonna 720 00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:14.960 win a main event seat for life, which is could be here, could 721 00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.320 be me. It's incredible. That's like such an incredible thing. Yeah, 722 00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.639 to be able to win that. So so yeah, Um, overall, 723 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.559 I think thatsp is super healthy. I think poker generally is healthy. I 724 00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:29.840 mean, all the numbers all over Vegas are booming. I just saw some 725 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.519 stuff on social media about that event at the wind that thirty five dollar buying 726 00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:37.079 tournament, million dollars for first I mean, what in the world. I 727 00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:43.239 mean, it's just everything's bananas. Twenty five hundred dollar Big Beat Mix touch 728 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:45.880 on a little bit on the supertob of Bounty Phil Ivy third and Chips. 729 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:47.599 Phil Holme, well, he was first, and Chips he was Phil Holme 730 00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:52.079 thirteenth and Chips down to twenty nine players like, we're not We're not going 731 00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:53.559 home tonight. We can't. We have to. I'm going on in other 732 00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:59.559 days. I'm exhausted. You're not gonna stick around. They're gonna bag up 733 00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:02.079 and coming back tomorrow. How do you know that. I'm confident. You 734 00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:07.440 know, Ivy wants to finish it to night around here, I know, 735 00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.599 but Phil Hellmuth has most sway than Ivy. I wonder who has the more 736 00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:17.199 sway Phil. I mean it's close, right, It's probably close. I 737 00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:21.960 think it's Ivy. Yeah, I'm going back. I'm I'm flipping this script. 738 00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:23.840 I'm going back to Ivy. Um. I mean that that event is 739 00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:29.559 absolutely flying. Yeah. Again, that had like around two hundred more entries 740 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:31.920 this year UM Freeze Out tournament. I believe no reentry in that one. 741 00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:37.039 So that one's you know, that one is a great sign for the main 742 00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:39.280 event because if people are coming out here blasting ten k in that one, 743 00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:43.199 you know they're gonna be blast obviously they're blasting off the from an event in 744 00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.039 a couple of days anyway, So yeah, um, that one's gonna be 745 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:49.880 great to see how it how it plays out more than eight hundred thousand dollars 746 00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:55.719 for first place. Hello World producer Rich here got my coffee, got up 747 00:50:55.719 --> 00:51:00.679 early to edit the pond and while I'm editing the podcast, I see here 748 00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:07.960 on Twitter per at Phil underscore helm Youth. I haven't been rate limited yet 749 00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:14.280 today he just won his seventeenth bracelet in the events. Just wanted to give 750 00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:16.960 you that update. I'm sure the boys will chat about it on the next 751 00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:22.239 episode of the podcast, but if this is the first two, we're hearing 752 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.880 it. If you're not sweating wsop dot com updates, Phil helm Youth apparently 753 00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:30.519 has more pull had them played this event until nearly five in the morning, 754 00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:34.519 and now has seventeen bracelets. Okay, back to the show. Um, 755 00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:38.159 Yeah, the twenty five Big Bet mix about three hundred and thirty entries total. 756 00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:42.079 But registration is still open, is it? How lates it over until 757 00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:46.119 tomorrow? No, Well, they moved the start time up by two hours, 758 00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:52.320 and I think there was some some issues with the end of registration basically 759 00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.639 ending at the lost level of the day. And what does that mean that 760 00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:00.519 you could register the start of day two? Good question. So I didn't 761 00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:02.960 actually see an answer to that, And all I can see in the live 762 00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.840 updates on WSB dot com is that the current level they're in is the last 763 00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:12.039 level of later registration. But I'm not sure if that means they're supposed to 764 00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:15.880 bag after this or not. Right, Like, I'm sure, I'm sure 765 00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:19.199 we could find the answer if we could look on Twitter. But Elon Musk 766 00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.360 is just totally screwing up Twitter. So wow, there's that. I mean, 767 00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:27.039 it's true you can only be a certain amount of tweets today. It's 768 00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:30.519 crazy, all right. I mean, do we have anything else to talk 769 00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:32.000 about? Oh? Well, guess what's coming up? Yeah? Why don't 770 00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:35.400 you tell us what's coming up? I do it every time? Sure? 771 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.159 Well, very important thing. Starting at midday tomorrow, it is the Doyle 772 00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:43.880 Brunson Celebration of Life Memorial at the Jubilee Theater. It is open to the 773 00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:46.800 public, so if you are here in Vegas want to see a few of 774 00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:53.199 Doyle's friends and family make some speeches and tell some stories about Doyle in his 775 00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:59.360 life. There is limited seating, but you know come early for that event. 776 00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:01.400 Wise, we have the one came any main event, so that's gonna 777 00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:06.119 be popping on any one starting flight. For that, I can't I live. 778 00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:08.760 I have to miss that one again. Light Cash two years in a 779 00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:14.840 row. You should be definitely in it, then listen, I can't because 780 00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:16.480 the main event starts, and like I know, we're gonna be working a 781 00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:20.840 lot during the main event. If you're in this when day one C and 782 00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.119 Day one D comes up and then day two A B C, it's a 783 00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:25.599 good problem to have. No, No, it's not that. It's mostly 784 00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:30.280 like if I make if I were to make day two in that, then 785 00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:32.760 it's day one A of the main event when I want to like be focused 786 00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:36.639 on work, what we're doing here kicking things off, blah blah blah, 787 00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:37.800 go win and Brace said he'll have before you. It's fine. No, 788 00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:44.960 moving on ten ten thousand dollar pot limit. Omaha High Low kicks off on 789 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:49.199 the Sunday at two pm as well, and then Monday you mentioned it, 790 00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:55.559 the big Dog Day one A twelve pm. It's finally here. I can't 791 00:53:55.599 --> 00:54:02.079 wait. It seems both in a way like a relief that's finally. Yes, 792 00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:06.920 it also seems like it's here way too soon, like at the same 793 00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:09.840 time, yeah, maniment time, but then on the same at the in 794 00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:15.679 the same you know thought. It's also two weeks long, so it's like, 795 00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:20.320 I know it starts tomorrow or starts Monday, um, tomorrow when people 796 00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:25.400 are listening to this, um, but it's it's still so long. We're 797 00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:30.320 so far away from the end. Yeah, so far. It'll wrap up 798 00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:34.400 on July seventeen, so far away. What do you think the first place 799 00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:37.960 prize is going to be? Like do you think do you think they're just 800 00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:42.840 gonna like twelve million that's what they're gonna do, because last year they got 801 00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:45.840 close to the to the to the Jamie it was and it was ten millions 802 00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:50.920 for first. But what I'm what I'm suggesting is that tournament payouts have changed 803 00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:52.719 drastically over the years. You know, it used to be they used to 804 00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:58.639 be like insane, Yeah we're not hitting twelve, but maybe it's like ten 805 00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:02.280 five, Maybe it's a eleven. They get a little finicky with the numbers. 806 00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:07.320 It's at least ten. It's just like how much more can they go 807 00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:10.280 up? You know, they're not going to go ten one. You know 808 00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:15.719 they're gonna go ten five or they're going to go eleven million. So you're 809 00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:17.880 gonna need to need a decent amount of players to get to eleven million, 810 00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:22.280 I think, but who knows fingers crossed right, if they get ten thousand, 811 00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:27.000 can they get to a million or I think tens players going to get 812 00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:30.840 to eleven millions. I think they get to eleven million. Yeah, but 813 00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:36.079 getting to twelve million. The Jamie Gold year, well that was just that 814 00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:38.440 was nuts. That was also ten percent payouts, but that you know, 815 00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:43.199 we could do twelve million this year, but seconds getting like five and a 816 00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:45.679 half. I don't think they're ever going to go back to those kind of 817 00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:52.360 really wonky main event payouts. I mean, those payouts were just they were 818 00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:55.280 kind of crazy. I mean that was truly icm is football people. They 819 00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:58.480 were. They were very crazy. I mean, I'm just pulling up these 820 00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:02.679 these payouts from two thousand and six. So that was the Jamie Gold year. 821 00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:07.239 Eight thousand and seven hundred and seventy three entries in the US events. 822 00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.519 So that is the number that we're all trying to beat. Yeah, the 823 00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:13.960 dust is trying to beat, which we all think that they will twelve million 824 00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:17.400 for first as we've been talking about six point one million per second, so 825 00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:22.559 just heads up for double. I mean that's just the south point I out 826 00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:27.400 of control. Yeah, that's terrible panouts. I mean, that's just I 827 00:56:27.400 --> 00:56:30.159 mean, but do you think they made a deal. Honestly, I have 828 00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:34.199 no idea. I don't know. We'd definitely like ask some people that were 829 00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:37.159 possibly there. But it's just like, I mean, you say there is 830 00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:42.000 Paul Wassica a good question. You say, like terrible payouts, Yes, 831 00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:45.639 looking back now hindsight is twenty twenty, Like you would never do this now, 832 00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:50.480 right, But I mean that this would actually be a fun thing. 833 00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:57.239 Stack guy. You should go back to like two thousand through like two thousand 834 00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:01.199 and ten, redo the payouts based on like today's payout scale and see what 835 00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:06.400 they would be. That would be like a fun little like article or project. 836 00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:09.800 That would be cool. Yeah, it would be cool if you think 837 00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:15.639 about this one, right. I mean last year when espin Georstad one, 838 00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:19.639 it was about the same entries, they had like one hundred fewer entries because 839 00:57:19.679 --> 00:57:22.280 they had eighty six or something, right, eighty six forty three or something 840 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:27.000 like that, and he got ten million. So like Jamie Gold would get 841 00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:30.199 like ten million. Yeah, you know, so it's like but then like 842 00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:34.159 how would the rest of it shake out? Like the gap the jumps wouldn't 843 00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:36.599 be that big, like all that sort of stuff. I mean, this 844 00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.679 was this what's crazy about this year? In two thousand and six, tenth, 845 00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:46.880 eleventh, and twelfth all got one point one five million. Yeah, 846 00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:52.840 that's nuts, Like that's wild to me. I like some of them, 847 00:57:53.280 --> 00:58:00.360 the really really early main events where I'm trying to find the year, but 848 00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:07.800 like they paid like weird amounts of um, like a weird percentage of players, 849 00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:13.639 and our nemesis is walking in and they got our nemesis and they got 850 00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:17.320 like half the half the amount of their money back. I'm trying to think 851 00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:21.679 him. It must be like the because they used to pay so back back 852 00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:23.760 in the eighties. They used to pay like just top nine, right, 853 00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:29.440 and then in nineteen eighty six, right, they went to one hundred and 854 00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:31.239 forty one players. Okay, let me start again. Nineteen eighty five, 855 00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:34.599 one hundred and forty players in the main event. They paid way. This 856 00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:37.800 is the part of the podcast where people are receive If you're listening at this 857 00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:42.360 point, good luck you're you're probably well into this conversation and nerding out with 858 00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:45.519 us. But if you if you're not interested, you've just turned it off. 859 00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:49.039 We're going to keep going. Eighty five, one hundred and forty players 860 00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:52.679 in the main event, they paid the top nine Bill Smith one um nineteen 861 00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:54.719 eighty six. Next year, one hundred and forty one players, one more 862 00:58:54.760 --> 00:59:00.440 player, they paid thirty six spots. Thirty six spots, Like, where 863 00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:04.800 did this come from? They just four x the payatts. But but but 864 00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:07.519 listen to this right ready, it's so great. It's a ten thousand dollar 865 00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:12.800 the main event, first person in thirty sixth place, seventy five hundred dollars 866 00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:15.840 less than I mean, like less than they're buying back, and then from 867 00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:21.679 twenty seven to nineteenth they got even money. I mean, these mofos are 868 00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:24.199 just like high fiving in our face. Over here, Ren laying go why 869 00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:30.960 but anyway, this this guy just high fiving in our face. Should we 870 00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:32.079 get him on the pod? No? I don't want to know. No, 871 00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:35.280 So you can get on with him. You can go ahead to head 872 00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:39.039 Captain v captain. We're gonna get We'll get him on the pod if and 873 00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:44.239 when we beat him well that's my main event. Payats little rant real quick, 874 00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:50.920 go back and you should go back and do it. Like, wasn't 875 00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:52.679 Moneymakers crazy too? Like it was two and a half million? I think 876 00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:57.320 it was a million. Yeah, but that might have been a garma And 877 00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:02.000 was that a guaranteed one? The gap when they look at the Jacobson was 878 01:00:02.039 --> 01:00:06.639 the only time you remember what second place was in that one. That was 879 01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:08.920 the one you and me covered and we were on the banner. We're on 880 01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:13.400 the banner. This is the only nerd nerd thing I have is that we 881 01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:16.039 when we walk in this room, we can say we are on the banner 882 01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:22.039 because our heads are on mine Jacobson's banner. I'm just saying we're always going 883 01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:24.320 to have the until they changed the thing. Well, the thing about about 884 01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:28.280 Chris Moneymakers a year is it was two and a half million for first, 885 01:00:29.079 --> 01:00:31.519 one point three million per second, then six hundred and fifty k for third, 886 01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:36.559 So it was like double double double mine Jacobson won ten million, Felix 887 01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:40.679 Stevenson second, who knows five point one million, so basically double there. 888 01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:45.960 Yeah, and you're you're a van hoof three point eight as a weird that 889 01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:51.840 was a very weird one. Well would your guy get last year Adrian Attenborough 890 01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:54.280 got six million I think, yeah, six and then lost thirty percent back 891 01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:58.320 to the tax man. Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying haven't seen 892 01:00:58.559 --> 01:01:02.159 I'm not saying that the taxes don't, but yeah, it's it's it's so 893 01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:07.679 rare these days that you see a double from second to first, Like you 894 01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:09.840 just don't see it anymore. It's not how payouts are done, like, 895 01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:14.199 you know, they've been been flattened a bit that ever seen me. An 896 01:01:14.239 --> 01:01:16.800 event kind of goes the other way in terms of like what is kind of 897 01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:20.679 I guess the norm for flattening it. And I get it because it's it's 898 01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:22.840 a totally different event. It's a super Bowl of Poker, Like you know, 899 01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:27.559 you want the headlines, the TV buzz like all this sort of stuff. 900 01:01:27.599 --> 01:01:30.000 I get it. So I get, you know, skewing things a 901 01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:34.159 little bit more top heavy than the norm. I like that. Personally. 902 01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:37.119 I'm just you know, wondering how big it's going to get this year. 903 01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:44.679 I mean, I think I think that if you it's probably good to try 904 01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:47.199 that if you break the record, you also want the first place to be 905 01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:51.360 bigger than what it was. Last year. I don't think you're ever gonna 906 01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:53.199 get it more than twelve million. Maybe you will, I don't know, 907 01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:55.960 maybe finaglen enough that you get them one than twelve million, or maybe the 908 01:01:57.000 --> 01:01:59.360 field size is just big enough that you get them more than twelve million. 909 01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:04.000 Right, Um, But you know, I think probably the most important thing 910 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.000 on everyone's mind will be like, well they should get more than espen gout, 911 01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:10.199 you know, just because that kind of like makes sense in a lot 912 01:02:10.199 --> 01:02:13.679 of people's minds. So maybe they do get it to eleven a million. 913 01:02:13.800 --> 01:02:15.760 Ten million sounds so cool. No, ten million is like it's just a 914 01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:22.480 nice, cool, like dope easy number, Like ten million, you want 915 01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:25.639 ten million dollars? Yeah, Like it's not you know if you like you 916 01:02:25.719 --> 01:02:29.960 want ten million, five hundred thousand, Like, yeah, it's better, 917 01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:37.599 of course five hundred more, you know, but ten millions you want for 918 01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:39.920 the love of God, No, don't don't do that. Don't do that. 919 01:02:40.199 --> 01:02:45.639 But they're always pretty good with the payouts being like pretty round one. 920 01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:51.159 Yeah. Ums, a lot of other places really, you know, butcher 921 01:02:51.239 --> 01:02:53.159 that for sure. Um, all right, well that's gonna do it for 922 01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:57.840 us. Um. Yeah, my name is Donnie Peters. His name is 923 01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:00.519 Tim Duckworth, and we'll talk to you guys on the night Pace spread to 924 01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:06.159 night Alone Chinating spread
