Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go
Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. The man who's sitting outside in the
hallway is Tim Duckworth. We are in the frozen tundra closet, the ice
boxes REMCURRNC and I call yeah, that's what we call him. We do
commentary in here. I love it. Tim hates it, So he's seventy
five percent of the way out into the hallway. That's fine, that's fine
with whatever you want. You can do whatever you want. One player that
is not freezing cold and is actually damn hot Isaac Haxton, Yes, the
Crusher, the winner of Super High Rollerbowl eight. Isaac Haxton tops the field
of twenty entries in the three hundred thousand dollars buying tournament to win two million,
seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars. He leapfrogs Phil Ivy on the all
time money list, jumping up into tenth place, putting himself in a position
where he can start leap frogging some other players because they were a couple of
million dollars ahead of him, but he pulled closer there. Second Super High
Rollable title he won Super High Rollable five back in twenty eighteen. That was
the year there was two high super high rollables in the same year. He
joins Justin Bonmo who has three titles, Timothy Adams who has two titles as
multiple time Super High Rollable winners. I mean, Haxton crushed man. I
don't know what to say. Huge chip lead coming into this final day,
had more than half the chips in play, six players remaining, ends up
finding himself heads up with Andrew Lichtenberger, last year's third place finisher. Pulls
out ahead, gets a huge lead, like around five to one or so.
Then Lichtenberger finds a double and gets back. Haxton stretches out again.
Lichtenberger finds a double and gets back again. Then they play this enormous pot
flush draw versus Kings. It's an overpay for the Kings. On the flop.
Haxon's flush draw comes home. Lichtenberger is left with just a handful of
big blinds and then he's eliminated shortly there after. What'd you think? He
yeah, you and have it. He crushed it. It was like a
clinic. He put on a clinic, not just today but yesterday. On
the clinics, A really good word just on the bubble. Pressure, pressure,
pressure, even off stream, you know, with twelve players left,
just constant pressure. He just I think he just felt in the groove,
just felt comfortable out there. Haxon did mention at times, you know,
when he was interviewed or talked to or whatever, even even times just having
casual conversation with some of the table mates throughout his run that he was getting
good cards and seeing him in action and being able to see his whole cards
for much of day two and day three. I mean, he he had
some really good hands and he was smashing flops that said, I mean,
that's gonna happen in poker, right, you still have to play extremely well.
And and Haxton did, I thought everyone played super elite, which which
is what you expect in this event. You expect super high level play.
Yeah, we streamed all three days on poker Go and on the poker Go
YouTube channel, so you guys can find that available on demand. They finally
put you to work. They finally did put me to work. Yeah,
yeah, I know, I got to watch it all from the commentator booth
alongside Rimcoat, you know, from start to finish. But I'm really excited
to go home and watch it again, just because like there's such high level
play, Like I want to watch it more from like a learning aspect,
like a studying aspect, that sort of thing. It's hard to do that
when you're watching from the commentary side of things, You're really just trying to
drive the conversation, keep it entertaining, all that sort of stuff. So
you know, I can't like pause something and be like, oh, I
wonder why he's doing this or why he's making this play. So, you
know, overall, I thought it was just a great product. I know,
you know, the number probably isn't something that we're super happy about,
but yeah, you know, I think getting it's hard to find three thousand
dollars. It is, you know, just just just a climate here in
the US for for that type of buying. But still we got an incredible
final table. Yeah, that final table was out of control. I think
when they had the graphic on the screen, it was like four hundred and
thirty million dollars in career live tournament earnings for money for the six players.
You know that that returned for Day three. You had Brynan Kenny that busted
up first on a day three, following two spots short of the money.
Then he had Chris Brewer, did you see that hand? I mean,
what the hell man? I mean? Is it back to the Chris Brewer
of old. The guy's got too bracelets this year. He's fine, it
does Brits. Brewer got it all in. He got it all in with
aces on the bubble against Lucky Chewie King Tennis bades as. Aphrotokova says,
you should just follow the isis no Antonio needs to shut up with that stick.
It's just, it's it's just, it's ridiculous. So Chris Brewer goes
out on the bubble in fifth place. Then it's Jason Kohn. He's been
battling some sickness for the past couple of days, but he ends up getting
into the money, finishes in fourth place for six hundred thousand dollars. Look
like a super villain today, well according to I don't know who said it,
Ali Najad or Nick Schulman, but they said he looked like a drug
dealer from the year three thousand, So impervillain. He did look like like
a bond villain, you know, like and plus three hundred thousand dollars buying
the stakes. They're playing poker like you know, it felt really Yeah,
it was cool. Stephen Chidwick falls in third place. He took home nine
hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Then it was, of course Andrew Leuchtenberger second
place. Andrew Leuchtenberger last year, I think it was one million, one
hundred and fifty two thousand dollars for his third place finished. Last year that
was the year the Daniel la grand you won Super High roller Ball, and
then this year he takes home one million, six hundred and eighty thousand dollars
for his runner up finished. I have to interrupt you ahead with the stat
what's that? Oh God, we haven't had stack guy in a little bit,
but here we go, Andrew Lichtenberger cash. That should have been your
Twitter named poker Statman or something. Let's not go down that rad we're bury
that though. How many players this is more of a question, not that
how many players have cashed in consecutive Las Vegas Super High roller Balls. Four?
Yeah, that's exactly it, guess. I mean it couldn't have been
that many. Yeah, yeah, so it had to be four. I
didn't think it was going to be four, are you either, So I'll
say, well, obviously, Andrew Lichtenberger, I'll say, I mean you
gotta go back, you gotta go a little five back for these ones.
So I'll say Vogel thing he is one wow, and that same year side
someone else did it. Eric saidel well, I confirm on Eric side.
I'll just give me one sec. My guesses are Vogel saying that's obviously Lichtenberger.
I have Vogel saying Eric Sidell and Steven Shi steven Swick, Yes,
super Bowl four and five. Vogel sang super Bowl three, Super High Rollerball
three and four. Someone else also three. No, I don't know three
times, Super High rollerbl just I mean, I was gonna that'd be the
easy one because I know he has a ton of cashes in Super High Rollable
also those three wins. But I just is one. You're right, Yeah,
So you don't even know the five. My bad, My bad,
apologies, it was four going into it. Doesn't know the four going into
do you know what? I apologize? Don't change your Twitter hand, keep
it, keep it as it is. You're not the statman, You're not
the stem, all right, believable. I'm gonna throw this too an interview.
Tim did it because I was still in the commentary booth to hold delay
thing, you know, all that good stuff. Tim handled the interview with
Kraazac Haxton. So here is that interview. Now. Congratulations Isaac second super
high roller ball victory. I need to ask you how much can I pay
you for this lucky T shirt of yours. I don't think it's for sale.
I mean this thing, I think that it might have hit ten millions
in earnings today, so it's a very lucky T shirt. Let's talk about
these earnings twenty twenty three amazing if you just you know clips twelve point nine
million in earnings so far. What s what's the secret? Gotta tell us?
When you're all in for all the chips in the tournament, you should
make a flush that that's a really good thing to do when you're all in
for every chip in the tournament. I mean, I don't know. I
don't think I'm doing anything a lot there from this year than I was in
previous years. I feel good about how I've been playing, but you know,
sometimes it's your year. I think I asked you this back at the
USPO when you won an event, but so far, this is your seventh
win of the year. You know, having so much fortune in twenty twenty
three, does that actually drive you to play more or actually, you know,
turn it down a little bit? Uh, probably played a little bit
more. I mean, I'd probably play roughly the same schedule either way.
But yeah, it's more fun when you're winning. I guess if I'm on
the fence, I'm more likely to show up when I've been doing well and
sort of feel like I expect to continue doing well. With this victory,
you moved a second on the PGT leaderboard. Obviously there's the million dollars free
roll at the end of the year. You know, there's we talk about
All Time money List. We obviously have the PGT leaderboard. What does it?
What does that stuff kind of mean to you? Oh? I mean,
well, BGG leaderboard, there's a prize, So I'd like to win
All Time money List. I don't take it too seriously. I mean,
the top people on the money lists are at what maybe sixty million. Then
there's a whole bunch of us at fifty forty forty five, and you know,
you can get down eight million a year and buy in's pretty easy these
days, so you know whoever's on top, Whoever is on top stops playing
and I just played for two more years and break even, and I've asked
them. Mostly it's keeping track of who's playing all the high stakes tournaments.
I don't think there's a whole lot conclusion to be drawn from the all time
money list. Obviously it feels good to be on there and see myself move
up, but mostly I mean it feels good because it feels good to still
be around playing the highest stakes twenty years into my poker career. Final question
here. You know we've touched on it too, super high roll over,
world rings, WSP, price set, lots of money in the bank.
But what do you want left in your career? What do you want to
still achieve as you can do? Way to play? I mean, honestly,
sticking around, continuing to compete at the highest level. I think that's
that's the biggest thing you can achieve in poker. Short term results don't really
mean all that much, but you know, the people who are still around
ten, fifteen, twenty years into their careers that that's an achievement. And
I'm proud to be one of those guys and hope to keep it going for
a little while longer. All right, that was Isaac axon lucky shirt,
very luck Axon. I was ready to buy it at forty three on me,
but he's that was Gon's not That would be like asking Tiger Woods to
give up the red polo that he always wears on Sundays in golf. Like,
it's just, let's be honest, there's a price in the moment,
there's not a price, but there's gonna be a prole. There's a price
that I don't think anyone can afford. That's a lie. Ike has a
ton of money that maybe he's not need. Like if you offered him a
million dollars for that shure, would he do it? I don't know.
I don't know, No, I don't know. I mean, listen,
I thought what I said is is good, you know, talking about how
the all time money list, you know, isn't the most important thing to
him. Yeah. I liked how he said the PGT leaderboard mattered. He
didn't say that right like that that's what it's all about here. He doesn't
He's not at the top, top top. Okay, he's at the top,
but not the top top, it's still Daniel WindMan up on top of
the PGT lead aboard, right, but how many points? Three point lead
points? I mean, come on, you couldn't like fudge the numbers a
little bit bit have integrity. It's actually it's kind of like a double bad
beat in a way. Not not that this necessarily matters a whole ton,
but you would have thought coming into today Chris Brewer would get himself some PGT
points, right, and then ultimately overtake Daniel Wineman on top of the leaderboard.
Brewer falls short of the money as we just talked about on that money
bubble, and Isaac Hackson goes on to win. And now Isaac Hackson's in
second, Wyman's in first, Hackson's in second by three points, and then
Chris Brewer is still in third. I'm assuming we see Chris in the mix
same series and a little bit of the payeah. I think he's gonna play
the Mixed Game series and he's playing the playing the Super high Rollable Appeal.
Well. I think Isaac Haxton will play Super High Rollable Appeal for sure.
I just don't know about what else he's gonna play, right, I mean
he's more of like the biggest buy ins. We may play some of the
paylo before going to try. Yeah, yeah, so we'll we'll see what
happens. I mean, obviously it helps him if if he does, like
he said, you know, care about the PGT, the PGT lead aboard
the championship, all that sort of stuff, because there's money attached to it.
Then yeah, he's gonna try and battle for those points because I mean,
he I would say that he's pretty much a locked. I mean,
it would take a miracle for him to get knocked out of the top forty.
That said, points mean chips in the championships, So I think he's
really gonna just try and you know, get as many chips as he can.
And then I mean, at this point, I feel like he's the
favorite to win the PGT. I feel like Ike is the favorite to win
the but he's not. You're shaking your head over there. I think I
was just gonna say, I think he's the favorite to win Player of the
Year, which is for the most points and also the championship, just because
the way he's playing US. I mean, their neck and neck events,
their their neck and neck So I think that they're right there. I mean,
all in all, I think that Super High Rollable was another great events.
I know that the players love it. It's one of the biggest and
best events of the year. Serious take it every decision. It's yeah,
it's it's crazy like and it's I mean this time, you know, we
really got to watch it from start to finish, and it's I mean,
it's awesome, it really is. I mean it's it's it's pokra ad.
It's absolute best. So I mean, I I know, like ultimately,
you know, you and I and and a lot of our listeners out there
will never get to play at this level or be this good, or play
at this sort of buying or all that sort of stuff. But I think
it was very entertaining. I also think that it was a great learning to
If you want to watch it from you know, both of those lenses,
I think you can certainly do so going forward, Mixed Games, Yes,
next week it's just like but it's like no break, so we've got a
little bit of a weekend to watch the football and then next week it's Mixed
Games. Is nine or ten events, nine events, three satellites before the
Mixed Game series. Sorry, if you're here in Vegas, come down Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday. Yes, yeah, the mixed game series. I
feel like it is gonna be wall to wall packed. I feel like there
were some people. I know, I know we're losing, like I don't
know, maybe three four people stuff like that, they have stuff going on
whatever. But I also know that there was people that didn't come out last
time because they were on fence about it. They didn't know what was going
to happen, you know whatever. They didn't know what the numbers were gonna
be, like, oh, they're only gonna get fifteen people. No,
we go way more. The numbers were great, So I think a lot
of people are going to be coming out for Pgteam mixed games. And then
also I think something that's going to help the numbers is it butts right up
against PGTPLO series, So it goes mixed games. Then that super high rollable
polo is wedged into the middle, which by all accounts talking to the players,
they think sixty to seventy entries, which is bananas. I you're always
on the unders. It doesn't matter. Just the movement I think affects it.
If we get forty players I'll be happy, to be honest. Yeah,
I think we'll get over forty players. I think we'll get over fifty
players, probably fifty entries. I'm going on entries because there is one re
entry and then of course leading into the Pgtplo series for the second half of
October, and yeah, it's gonna be crazy. The plan is to stream
two days of super high Rollable Polo and then some final tables from the Polo
series, and then all live coverage from everything going on in October will be
on PGT dot com as well the leaderboard, the schedule, news and articles
and all of that good stuff. So so yeah, I don't think we
need to talk much longer. No, we're not doing them. We'll do
them in October at some point. I've got a really good one them.
No, I'm my mouth doing it. I want to get out of here
because I want to try and get out of here before this fight traffic really
clogs up the strip and you know, get into Floyd. I have no
idea who's in this. I hope Canella wins because I laid the wood with
the favorite that that's what I hope, you know. Okay, I went
to my in house boxing expert. He told me head yes, and I
said, all right, well then I hope he wasn't lying to me,
so we'll see. He gave me betting advice yesterday. I did that win?
What? Who did? I bet all my money on Michigan State that
game. He didn't give you the betting advice to bet my account on Michigan
State and I did it. Please tell me the verdict I have. I
honestly have no idea. It's college football. I don't pay any attention to
college football. All right, Well, that is a Super High rollaball again.
If you missed it, you can find it on Poker Grow or you

days. Just search for it and you guys will find it to watch Isaac
Haxton's second Super High Roller Bowl win. That's going to do it for us.
