00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.079
Hello, everyone, Welcome back to
a brand new episode of The Poker Go

2
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.600
Podcast. The number one poker podcast
in the land. And I know that

3
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:28.039
is a fact because I've seen everyone's
Spotify social media shares and we're at the

4
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.280
top of every list that I've seen
hundreds, if not thousands of people,

5
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.439
as we should be. In the
words of podcast superfan Jeff Platt, many

6
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.840
people are saying many, many people
are saying that the Poker Podcast is the

7
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.640
number one poker podcast in the life. But in all seriousness, my name

8
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.240
is Donny Peters. His name is
Tim Duckworth. It is Thursday, November

9
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.320
thirtieth, It's the final day of
November. November is wrapping up. But

10
00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.759
Tim had already shaved the mustache.
It's unfold handle. Look at him without

11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.159
the mustache on this video. Come
on wait, it was so it was

12
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.040
bad ass, man. It was
great. It was so so great.

13
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.640
All right, on this episode,
we are going to talk about the World

14
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:18.239
Poker Tour WPG seminal wrapped up.
It has a winner. We're going to

15
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.760
hit on that. The WPT World
Championship kicked off yesterday, so we're going

16
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.760
to hit on that. We also
got to talk about WSP Paradise starting up

17
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.680
in a couple days. We're going
to play a little WPT and WSP fantasy

18
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.239
and there is going to be a
listener play along with a giveaway, so

19
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.959
you guys can get involved out there. Run Good, the Run Good Poker

20
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.840
series wrapped up an event at Thunder
Valley recently, and it is important because

21
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:52.000
it had the Dream Seat Invitational Tournament
and one player who we will talk about

22
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.359
later on, won his way to
compete in the PGT Championship million dollar free

23
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.920
role, so that's very cool.
We're gonna hit on that. And then

24
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.000
there have been a handful of new
episodes of A Game of Gold and we

25
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.199
are going to chit chat about that. I will say it right now.

26
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.199
There are gonna be some spoilers probably. We're gonna talk about what has happened.

27
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.639

spanking, spiffy and new shout out

to the number one poker show in

59
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.800
new edition of the Poker Gough podcast
Community Cards. All right, do you

60
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.519
want to do the honors? Or
should I? You do it? You

61
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.759
do? Okay? Jeff Platt one
a Run Good Poker Series ring. Last

62
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.319
night he took down the three hundred
dollars dream Crusher bounty event at the recent

63
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.959
Run Good Poker Series stop up at
Thunder Valley. Jeff one just under six

64
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.959
thousand dollars plus whatever bounties he got. Ben Ludlow good friend, a good

65
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.680
friend of Jeff's as well. They
were at the final table together. Ben

66
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.120
Ludlow finished in fifth place. I
believe Jeff busted him. That a very

67
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.639
friendly thing to do. But there
are no friends at the poker table.

68
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.639
We all know that. So yes
shut out to Jeff Platt for taking home

69
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.360
that ring and the six thousand dollars
in prizemen. You believe he's now down

70
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.480
in Houston or on his way to
Houston one way or the other for the

71
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.279
Champions Club live streams that Poker gro

73
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.560

76
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.439
some poker content, All right,
let me throw some Jeff's out. Oh

77
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.079
we got stat boys back, let's
go. I didn't know this, but

78
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.600
this is his first run good ring. I swore he already had one.

79
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.399
Yeah, so I also swore that
he already had one. But he has

80
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.360
a ws AP circuit ring. He
does have a WSP circond ring, but

81
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.319
I also I thought that he had
both. To be honest, I thought

82
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.199
he had one of each. So
he just won. Basically, what is

83
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.480
a six K and bounties. He
is now eclipsed seven hundred thousand in total

84
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:24.519
live earnings according to our rich d
handed mob. He's rich. He's rich

85
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.120
hundred and twenty six on the Texas
All Time money list. He's going to

86
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.680
hit that tope hundred. He's from
Texas. Yeah, I feel like Texas

87
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.399
would be a hard moneyless to get
to the top of Can you name the

88
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:43.199
top five without cheating? Oh?
I don't think he can. Is t

89
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.000
J Cludier up there? Third?
Yep? Ten million? His door runs

90
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:54.279
in Texas? He is, but
he is six Okay, I mean I

91
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.439
yeah, Texas, Texas. I
mean I give you. I'll give you

92
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:04.079
one hint Game of gold. Game
of Gold. David Williams, Yep,

93
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.920
he is fourth. Played Super high
Rollerball PLO. We did not expect him

94
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.600
to play. Played Super High Rollable
PLO. Did not expect him to play.

95
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.480
It was not on our list of
potential I got no idea. Ben

96
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:25.079
toleraan you I would have if you
said where is he from? It was

97
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:30.040
Connecticut. I mean, there's no
way I'm saying Texas. Who's in second

98
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:36.519
multiple bracelet winner and owns a card
room? Giant Champ No, Doug Polk.

99
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.879
I don't even know why I said
Giant, and you would never get

100
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.399
you would never get. Fifth It
was Keith Who is it, Doug Polk?

101
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.480
Sorry, Dog Polk? And fifth
was Keith Tilson, Okay, Keith

102
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.319
Tilson makes sense. I don't know
why I said Giant Chan that this because

103
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.319
I know he was involved in some
card rooms in Texas. That's why,

104
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.680
for whatever reason I thought I would
think he's from Texas. Was weird.

105
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.240
I'm always questionable about the the location
stuff, you know, for like like,

106
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.519
That's why I asked. That's why
I said Doyle Doyle. The way

107
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.120
that I did, like was is
Doyle listened on Hende mob As Texas?

108
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.600
Or has he listened as Las Vegas? You know? Like I mean,

109
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.360
yeah, I'm from New Hampshire,
so I'm on the New Hampshire All Time

110
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.279
Money List. But I've you know, the majority of my poker results have

111
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.399
come when I've been a resident of
Las Vegas. So it's like, you

112
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.879
know, what do you think he
ranked in New Hampshire? Like Phil Helmuth

113
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.240
is Wisconsin, right, I mean, but he's like how long has he

114
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.040
lived in Northern California forever? I
mean, you know, where do you

115
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.399
rank on the New Hampshire all time
money list? Like two hundred and something

116
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.639
fifty fourth? Yeah? Okay,
I mean what but there's moved to New

117
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.639
Hampshire. There's one person that's like
up top, that's like way up top,

118
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.919
right? Is that true? No? Okay, maybe someday I'll get

119
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.159
up there, man, I'd be
I'd be thirty ninth if I was.

120
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.200
Where would Jeff Flappy He's got seven
hundred, he would be he would be

121
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.720
a fourth out fourth? Who's number
one? Dan Shallafaw with eight hundred K.

122
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:05.159
Daniel gang Plo Series champion second eight
hundred and twenty two k. He

123
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.240
recently shot up there. So yeah, all right, cool, enough of

124
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.840
that. Let's move on in to
the news and happenings. First up,

125
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.960
WPT Seminole Down at Seminole Hard Rock
in Florida. This seemed like it's been

126
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:26.720
serving as kind of the layover stop
between people traveling from wherever they're traveling from.

127
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.600
I would say mostly like kind of
the Las Vegas or West Coast area,

128
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.679
maybe even up up you know,
in the northeast, down to Florida,

129
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.559
and then they're going to jump over
to the Bahamas. And we all

130
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:43.039
know that, or maybe you don't
know, but the the Florida to the

131
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.480
southern Florida to Bahama's flight is like, you know, a forty minute flight,

132
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.600
very very quick and simple. Thirty
five hundred dollars buying for this WPT

133
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.080
Seminal Main event, three million dollar
guarantee, had one four hundred and forty

thousand dollars up top for first place and

136
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.240

Brisky taking home. Well that was a

137
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.600
deal. Oh wow? Was see
that? Yes? Originally seven hundred and

138
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.960
fifty two thousand, five hundred dollars
up top, which also includes the WPT

139
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:20.200
World Championship seat. Brisky took home
six hundred and forty seven three hundred dollars

140
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.840
after he made a deal heads up
with Ryan Chamas, who took home an

141
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.679
even six hundred thousand dollars. Sandy
Sanchez finished in third for three hundred and

142
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.879
sixty six k. Fred Goldberg,
He's been at a few WPT final tables

143
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.039
in the past, he took home
for two hundred and seventy four thousand dollars

144
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.600
for fourth place. Matt Bond played
a handful of events inside the poker Grost

145
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.320
studio. He had a score of
two hundred and six thousand dollars, and

146
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.279

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.559
poker world, one hundred and fifty
seven thousand dollars for him finishing in sixth

148
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.799
place. I mean, listen,
good numbers again out of Seminole, Always

149
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.679
good numbers out of Semino for these
big events. You know, it's like

150
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.720
they I know, it was years
ago when they missed that huge ten million

151
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.759
dollar guarantee prize pool, but you
know, since then, since they've kind

152
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:15.039
of recalibrated the guarantees, there's still
big guarantees you know overall, and they're

153
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.360
within that thirty five hundred to five
thousand dollars price point, and they always

154
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.039
crush. They always do extremely well. You know, I remember kind of

155
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.759
coming out of the pandemic or tail
end of the pandemic member when there was

156
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.840
all the dividers at the tables and
all this sort of stuff. But they

157
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.799
had like you know, alternate eight
hundred or so, you know, the

158
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.480
crazy stuff like that. I mean, it's it's crazy down at Seminole.

159
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.960
The poker's wild there. They have
a lot of good events. You know,

160
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.240
obviously we're talking about this thirty five
hundred dollars buying WPT main event that

161
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.360
was down there. But you know, they often open their series with like

162
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.360
a five six hundred doll or maybe
a four hundred dollar opener that has a

163
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.000
million dollar guarantee on it. So
there's a ton of stuff there. There's

164
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.559
always like a handful of like mixed
events. There's some high rollers. I

165
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.720
think they had a twenty five K
that had more than ninety entries, so

166
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.480
they had that. They had some
you know, some five K side events

167
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.440
like I mean, they they do
extremely well in Seminole. One of those

168
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.480
spots I've always wanted to go,
you know, make I mean I've been,

169
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.279
but go for poker, make a
trip out of it, spend a

170
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.320
week there, just play a lot. But you know, it's it's a

171
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.120
lot harder to do nowadays when you
got a family and a couple of kids

172
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.240
running around, you know. But
but yeah, but seminoles A it's doing

173
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.159
extremely well. I will I will
say this. My question about Seminole is,

174
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.759
I want to know if Seminole is
bringing the Seminal hard rock poker brand

175
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:37.480
to Las Vegas. When they launched
the hard Rock here taking over the Maraage.

176
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.039
Now, I know it's several years
away. I think I think they're

177
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:46.000
targeting late twenty twenty seven, early
twenty twenty eight. We all know how

178
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.960
all that stuff goes, might get
pushed back, you know, a year

179
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.600
or two whatever. But I want
to know if they're gonna like this Seminal

180
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.679
poker brand in South Florida is so
big, like it's it's it's gotten bigger

181
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.480
than just like South Florida poker.
It's it's certainly like a very national,

182
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.159
if not international brand that a lot
of people carve out their schedules for.

183
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.480
They make the trips down there,
they go to these events, whether it's

184
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.840
it's a Seminal event, that's paired
with the WPT or whether it's one that's

185
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.039
not like people go they attend.
We see the numbers, the main event

186
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.960
numbers are always in the thousands.
They're crushing guarantees, huge prizes like it's

187
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.240
great, and of course it doesn't
hurt that the weather's generally pretty nice there,

188
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.039
you know, like it can't get
that bad other than like the occasional

189
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.639
rainstorm here and there, which in
South Florida can happen at the you know,

190
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.240
the turn of a dime. But
other than that, uh, it's

191
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.600
it's awesome. So are they going
to try and replicate that sort of thing

192
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.759
here in Las Vegas? When you
know it launches here and at that point,

193
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:50.000
you know you're gonna have to contend
with wind Poker Venetian always does extremely

194
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.120
well. Resorts World is really trying
to like increase their footing. We know,

195
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.519
we know what Aria does, of
course, and they have that kind

196
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.840
of bigger series, the Aria Classic. Throughout the summer they got bad MG

197
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.200
I'm coming into play, so I
don't know, it's going to be interesting

198
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.519
to see if if they want to
try and replicate that sort of thing.

199
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:13.799
There's so much competition here here's what
I would do. Okay, I would

200
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.399
I would have a series here,
but I wouldn't necessarily have a poker room

201
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.080
unless I thought the poke room was
going to do all right, right,

202
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.840
Like it's just hard, Like you
there's poker rooms have closed unfortunately in a

203
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.039
lot of spots, and they've gotten
smaller, and it's it's harder to operate

204
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.639
like a live poker room in a
lot of locations these days. And I

205
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.639
think the Las Vegas market, like
people have just seen that, you know,

206
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.279
slot machines do better, they're more
they're more cost efficient for you,

207
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.919
Like you can just jam in some
restaurants, nightclubs, like all all that

208
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.480
sort of stuff, right as opposed
to a poker room where you know,

209
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.799
you got to staff it. Like
it's just it can kind of be a

210
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.039
little bit of a headache. I'm
sure that said, you could still have

211
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.279
like a very nice place it's Las
Vegas, Like, you don't necessarily have

212
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.240
to have a poker room to host
a series, you know, so like

213
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.000
they could have you know, the
their version of like the Lucky Hearts Poker

214
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:13.360
open in Las Vegas, and maybe
that's something they do if this whole December

215
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.000
thing that's been building and building now
in Vegas. I mean, people are

216
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.759
calling it. It's kind of a
weird name, but they're you know,

217
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:26.559
a weird nickname is the Winter WSP
because the WSP isn't actually here in town,

218
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.799
but that sort of winter festival for
poker. Yeah, I could certainly

219
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.480
see Seminal trying to do that here, you know, bring some of the

220
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.720
staff over from Florida, stuff like
that, so people have some familiar faces,

221
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.639
they know what they're getting, you
know, you you obviously know the

222
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:46.799
type of schedule that you can get
or put out there for players what they

223
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.399
want to see. So so that's
how I would tackle it, you know,

224
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.399
make it a once a year thing, not really worry about the whole

225
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.559
poker room aspect, cash games,
daily tournaments, et cetera. But hey,

226
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.519
maybe that's in the cards. I'm
all for more poker. I'm just

227
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.279
I understand the challenges in the current
landscape to do the day to day operations

228
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.480
of things, So that would be
my suggestion. Of course, you know,

229
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.120
we're talking what three, four or
five years down the road, so

230
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:17.200
lots still happen. But yeah,
WPG Seminal performed well once again, would

231
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.720
expect it to continue to perform well
over the years, and I mean I

232
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.279
really just got to got to make
a trip down there at some point,

233
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.240
all right, speaking of the WPT, but this is going to be paired

234
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:33.279
with the WSP. We have the
WPT World Championship, the massive festival that

235
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:38.600
kicked off yesterday at WIN Las Vegas, and then we have WSP Paradise kicking

236
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:45.320
off on Sunday, December third at
Atlantis in the Bahamas. Now, these

237
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.039
are the two biggest brands, if
not arguably the two biggest brands in poker,

238
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:53.960
and they are going head to head
basically in different worlds because ones in

239
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.840
Las Vegas, ones in the Bahamas. Both are guaranteeing more than fifty million

240
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.759
across their series, Both have massive
main events, both have big high rollers,

241
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.480
both have a ton of like prelim
side events, post limbs, whatever

242
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:12.440
you want to call them. WPT's
of course got the headlining forty million dollar

243
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:18.079
guarantee. WSOP has a fifteen million
dollar guarantee. But then they also have

244
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.359
the allure of WSP goal bracelets.
So it's like, how is this going

245
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:29.920
to play out? From where I
stand as an onlooker, as an industry

246
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.200
person, I'm kind of here with
like my popcorn in a way, just

247
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.960
I want to see how it all
folds. I mean, they're just going

248
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:42.759
they're going head to head like it's
it's it's kind of crazy both like in

249
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.039
a way where it's like why would
you want to go head to head?

250
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.000
Like is that really what's best for
poker? But then it's also kind of

251
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:56.960
crazy where it's like competition makes everyone
do bigger things and strive to be better.

252
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:02.480
So like there's a crow ton of
money that's being guaranteed, are you

253
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.440
guaranteeing all that sort of stuff?
Are you pushing the qualifier envelope as hard

254
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:10.880
as you are if you don't have
these this giant competitor going head to head

255
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.920
with you, I don't know,
maybe you are, but I mean this

256
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.200
seems like it's gonna be a lot
of fun. I'm gonna be interested to

257
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.559
see kind of like where notable players
choose to go. Obviously, Yeah,

258
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.960
that's what I care about the most, Like are we really are we going

259
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.319
to say a real big push for
bracelets and qualifiers and making that trip to

260
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.359
Bahamas or people gonna be like,
look, I'm going to stay home.

261
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.480
I'm going to play the win.
That's what I want to do. So

262
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:42.240
it's going to be interesting to see
where these players go and actually who you

263
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:47.480
know, decides to pick which one
they want a battle line. Yeah.

264
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:52.599
My feeling right now is a lot
of the mixed game guys will probably stay

265
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.559
in Las Vegas. Yeah, you
know, I mean, correct me if

266
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.119
I'm wrong. I don't think there's
that many mixed games if any onsity Paradise

267
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.880
is there, is there any?
Yeah, So I mean that's gonna be

268
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:10.920
kind of like the the shot takers
from Europe, A lot of them will

269
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.640
probably go there, or I would
say non US people will probably go there.

270
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.119
Anyone who's like aspiring to chase bracelets
can probably go there. Obviously there's

271
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.160
a ton of qualifiers can go there. And then the high rollers is probably

272
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.279
a big thing because those high rollers
there, you know, look like they're

273
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.759
going to be pretty crazy. Yeah, the amount of people they're putting in.

274
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.680
I think you're going to say a
couple of people taking their shots.

275
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.599
So I think those will be fine. You know, when you say people

276
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.599
from Europe are going to travel,
yes, and no, don't forget ept

277
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.359
Prague right around the corner, which
is of course, Yeah, at that

278
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.000
point, it's like, you know
what's going to be what's going to be

279
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.160
softer? Like where you know,
where's my where's my ri going to be

280
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:55.680
better? And then in WPT World
Championship, like I think for the the

281
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.119
forty million dollar main event, the
forty million dollars guaranteed main events, you

282
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.799
know, you can go down played
a lot of the WSP Paradise stuff and

283
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.319
then you can come back and get
into the WPT World Championship still, so

284
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.759
you know, there's gonna be a
ton of people that do that. I

285
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:15.240
think a lot of the Vegas locals
will probably stick around Las Vegas and then

286
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.359
we'll see, you know, kind
of who else comes into town. Yeah,

287
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.359
I mean, I'm just really looking
forward to how it all unfolds.

288
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.440
The only thing that I really have
to go off of right now is that

289
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.319
WPT World Championship kicked off yesterday.
So they kicked off with they had a

290
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.200
six hundred dollar Omaha eight tournament that
was won by Miami John Sernudo, which

291
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.079
seemed like it got a decent turnout, and then they had they had this

292
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:44.319
opening event that's a six hundred dollars
buy in one million dollar guarantee tournaments.

293
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.000
It has eight flights. They had
the first two yesterday. They have already

294
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.079
attracted more than six hundred entries the
opening flight day one A, So they're

295
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.880
doing two flights a day, eleven
am and six pm. The opening flight

296
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:00.000
at four hundred and four entries,
which is bananas to me, like because

297
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.039
you always think that, like and
I've played many of these multi flight tournaments

298
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.000
at the win and like you think, okay, you know, it's you

299
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.279
get like one hundred players, two
hundred players on the first day, but

300
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.079
then it progressively builds as you go, especially into the weekend. I mean,

301
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.119
four hundred and four entries on a
day one A. That's on a

302
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.920
Wednesday at eleven am. I mean
that's just freaking wild. So like this

303
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:30.079
million dollar guarantee is trending in fake
guarantee territory. I mean, like if

304
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.039
there's gonna get four million dollars in
the price where something stupid, like what

305
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.079
is happening? I'm ready to fire. I've got five bullets prepared for this

306
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.599
stupid day, So let's go.
I'm gonna I'm gonna try and do it

307
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.079
on one trying to just bag some
chips. But yeah, I mean,

308
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:51.279
it's it's it's gonna be fun man
to watch these two things go ahead to

309
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:53.519
head. Of course, there are
a handful of PGT qualifying events as part

310
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.519
of the Dovasity Paradise series, so
Tim and I are going to be closely

311
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:02.599
playing attention to that to see,
you know, who challenges for makes their

312
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.240
way into the top forty, like
all all that sort of stuff as we

313
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:10.480
move towards the PGT Championship in January. So yeah, I don't know you

314
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:17.279
have any other thoughts on like this
whole December craziness that's happening. I don't

315
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:19.240
like it. I don't like the
fact they going to war. We could

316
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.720
have all been civil, but you
know, that's the bed that they have

317
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:32.599
each made. So I'm honestly just
gonna enjoy watching some live poker from Paradise.

318
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:37.240
I'm gonna watch some live poker from
the strip. I'm maybe going to

319
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.039
play in event or two, but
otherwise we're just sitting back just watching our

320
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.559
tours on a little bit of a
you know, break work wise. So

321
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.720
I'll put in some of the PGT
results from Paradise, and then once these

322
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.240
two wraps up, everyone's got to
focus on us in January, so kind

323
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.039
of looking forward to that. This
is like a bit of a refresh reset

324
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.839
kind of period for us from work
wise. So I just gonna sit back

325
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.839
and enjoy that time. Yeah,
I mean, we just need to make

326
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:08.200
sure from a PGT aspect that these
guys have money left after December, because

327
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:14.599
there's a crap ton of stuff.
I mean there's also the million dollar big

328
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.279
one for one drop is happening at
the win. Like that's already got what

329
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:22.000
thirteen fourteen to fifteen players guarantee,
you know, So, I mean this

330
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.359
is just it's absolutely wild. I
mentioned I'm playing the six hundred dollars opener.

331
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.240
I'm gonna go down there tomorrow on
Friday and get into the mix down

332
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.160
there, Gonna play a handful of
events, gonna play the WPT Prime.

333
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:37.480
I know, Tim, you were
kind of eyeing possibly firing into that one.

334
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.640
I mean this six hundred I mean
six hundred dollar players in two flights,

335
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:45.680
I got some time. I mean, you're you're definitely gonna You're definitely

336
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:52.039
gonna see You're definitely gonna see the
The second flight that takes place each day

337
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.480
is gonna be a little bit smaller
than the first plight just because it's a

338
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:59.359
six pm start whatever. But i
mean, still, you it, these

339
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.839
tournaments all always get bigger as the
days go. So if you're drawing six

340
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:08.200
hundred plus on the first of four
days because they're doing two per day or

341
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:12.319
for the eight flights, then I
mean you're gonna get what eight hundred today,

342
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.240
twelve hundred tomorrow. Like, I
mean, it's just like, you

343
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:22.119
know, it's like it's you might
crast tomorrow because we have the Permiere meetup

344
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.480
game, so you know, Today's
and tomorrows might be pretty similar. I

345
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.720
would expect. Yeah, I mean
it's yeah, it's the whole thing is

346
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.559
gonna be wild. As I mentioned, I'm gonna play the prime. I'm

347
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.720
gonna play the forty million dollar guarantee. What did I come in last year

348
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.240
two thirty ninth, Yeah, you
saved my Christmas. That's all. That's

349
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.559
right, baby, let's go.
I'm going to be in that. Then

350
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.319
they got some fun events kind of
at the tail end of the schedule.

351
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.839
They got a three k three million
dollar guarantee. I'm going to fire in

352
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.960
that. They got a sixteen hundred
two million dollar guarantee. I'm going to

353
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.039
fire in that how much do you
make at this job? You must make

354
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.759
three x what I make, so
to be firing off all these events.

355
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:06.039
I've said it before, I'll say
it again. We enjoy being transparent.

356
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:10.319
So somebody asked me today, somebody
who bought some action and if anyone out

357
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.039
there wants to buy action, shameless
plug right here. But I did list

358
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.480
some events on poker steak dot com. You can find me on there.

359
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.319
I think that's where Tim got a
piece of me. So let's go have

360
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.240
some action posted on there. But
somebody asked me, you know, how

361
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.359
much are you selling? I mean, I'll probably sell I don't know,

362
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:33.720
fifty percent of myself across everything that
I'm playing. I mean, listen,

363
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.920
if you want to, like talk
about bank roll management, don't listen to

364
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.720
me because because I fire hard in
these things and the reason that I do

365
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:48.920
it, and this is gonna sound
like I'll just say this, it's it's

366
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.039
advice that I learned from from somebody
in the past where I think gave me

367
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.480
some pretty good advice, and I've
tried to take that advice and put it

368
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.920
to use as much as possible.
Is that if you're in the position to

369
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.440
have money like that you can like
funny money in a way, like I

370
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.559
have like money that I that I
use for poker and it doesn't affect like

371
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:17.279
anything else, Like I you know, the mortgage is covered, the bills

372
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:18.920
are covered, the kids are covered, like all that shit is covered,

373
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.920
right, and all this sort of
stuff is is money that I have on

374
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.839
the side, and then hopefully that
money grows through my poker plane. If

375
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.119
if that money were if I were
to just completely wipe that money out and

376
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.079
it goes to zero, nothing in
my life changes, because like I have

377
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.039
a job, you know, my
wife has a job, like like,

378
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.240
thankfully we're in a position where we
can do this. So basically what I'm

379
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.480
getting that is that like if if
you can afford to press edges harder,

380
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.680
I think it's worth it. And
especially if you're younger, Like if you're

381
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:52.720
somebody out there who's kind of like
just getting into poker and you're like twenty

382
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.839
three years old, kind of fresh
out of college, I would fucking go

383
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.240
all in. Like I mean,
because you're young, you can always fall

384
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.079
like in land on your feet and
get back up and build back a bankroll

385
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:06.960
and like all that sort of stuff. Like if you listen to a lot

386
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.839
of the old school poker players.
I mean, they'll all tell you I

387
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:14.880
would say probably ninety nine percent of
them they probably went broke early on in

388
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.359
their career, like seven times.
But like early on, that's what it

389
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.079
takes. You can't go broke when
you're fifty. You're trying to prepare for

390
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:23.759
your kids going to college and like
that sort of stuff. So like,

391
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.720
you know, have money that like
you're willing to spend. Like I'm sure

392
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.400
a lot of people out there have
money that they're willing to spend on things

393
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.480
and it doesn't affect them. Like
maybe you want to go out to eat

394
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.200
once a week and like that costs
you know, one, two, three

395
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:38.680
hundred dollars depending on where you go, where you live, all that sort

396
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.240
of stuff. But like and if
that money's not affecting you, yeah,

397
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.920
go do it. Have fun whatever. My fun is poker, So I

398
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.279
try to blast pretty hard when I
can. You know, at the end

399
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:53.240
of the day, if I make
a run and like win WPT Prime,

400
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.599
win the WPT World Championship, win
any of the handful of WSP events that

401
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.559
I play in the summer, it
would kill me if I had like ten

402
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.000
percent of myself. Yeah, I
would would want, I would want.

403
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.799
I would be like, I can't
handle this anymore so that you know,

404
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.799
I'm gonna I need I need some
bank equity, man, like let's go

405
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.920
you know, so and worst case
like, yeah, you fire hard in

406
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.160
this dec I fire hard this December
and like then I take January off,

407
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.079
February off. I mean, but
I already know that, like, given

408
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.359
where I'm at that January is a
ton of work for us. I'm not

409
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.039
gonna be able to play it all. Yeah, February like very similar,

410
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:34.799
like like that's when our work is
fucking gung ho. So like I'm barely

411
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.240
gonna be able to like do anything. But yeah, I'll play online here

412
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.960
and there. But like online you
can really be bankrel conscious as you're trying

413
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.240
to build things back up. You
can find ten twenty fifty dollars tournaments that

414
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.240
are extremely lucrative, right, you
know, give you that same sort of

415
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.160
feel and experience level when you're playing
like a six hundred or a one K

416
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.079
live or whatever it is. So
so yeah, I mean that's just how

417
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:57.240
it is. I'm just saying,
if you can afford to do it,

418
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.319
I would say blest and that's why
you're with you. I'm like, yeah,

419
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.440
come play this six hundred. Let's
go, man, like, this

420
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:06.559
is the event is gonna be insane, take a shot, let's go.

421
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:10.160
Yeah. I mean I'm fifty to
fifty to play tomorrow, to be honest.

422
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:11.680
Yeah, it's gonna be fun,
and we all love to play at

423
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:17.200
the win. It's a fucking great
place to play. All right. So

424
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:21.680
now we're gonna get into a little
bit of a fun segment here. Sim

425
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:26.920
and I are gonna play some WPT
and WSFP fantasy tims that are disadvantaged.

426
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.880
Because I am fantasy king, I
can say that because we won twenty fantasy

427
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:34.000
Wow. Okay, alright, I'm
ready, so I should get for us

428
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.079
pick. Yes, I'm going to
let you at first fit because of that.

429
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.680
Okay, here's how it's gonna work. We're each gonna draft three players.

430
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.240
Okay, we can't share players between
us, but we're gonna draft.

431
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.559
Sorry, we're gonna draft six players
total, or or up to six players

432
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:53.759
total. So we're gonna draft a
three player team for the WPT Festival and

433
00:29:53.839 --> 00:30:00.000
a three player team for the WSFP
Festival. Okay, you can share players

434
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.920
if you want to. Draft Philhalmouth
on both of your teams. Go ahead,

435
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.680
but you're gonna be maybe at a
disadvantage because you know they're only gonna

436
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:08.119
be able to play. You know, they can't play the full series of

437
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:14.200
Bowl. But we're gonna do that. Only one thousand dollars and higher buying

438
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.759
events count. The scoring is gonna
be pretty simple, most money won,

439
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.240
largest single score and most cases,
so basically like one point for each.

440
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.079
And the reason why I'm doing one
thousand dollars or higher for the buy in

441
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.119
is because WPT World Championship Festival already
kicked off, but the events that already

442
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:34.000
happened are six hundred dollars buy in, so just gonna rule those out initially.

443
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.480
Listeners, you can participate, and
I would encourage you all to do

444
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:44.680
so, because we're gonna be giving
away some prizes here if you do ultimately

445

cannot select any players selected by Tim and

446
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.359
I. Okay, so whoever,
if if Tim picks Tim or Phil Helmuth,

447
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.599
you can't pick him. If I
pick forl Iv, you can't pick

448
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:04.920
him. That said, we're doing
our That said, Thursday, November thirtieth

474
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.960
think it's gonna be cool. So
I can't wait. I said, I'm

475
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.200
gonna let Tim go first. So
I'm going to let Tim go first.

476
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.680
And here's how we're gonna do it. Tim, you can pick, so

477
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.960
it's gonna go. You get one, I get two, right, Yeah,

478
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.880
because it's a snake. Okay,
you can say, like Phil Helmuth

479
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:13.200
WPT like he's gonna like your next
pick would be your WWSP like you can

480
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:19.039
kind of go back in the stand. Yep. So you do with the

481
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:25.359
first pick in the in the inaugural
w PT and fantasy draft him Duck with

482
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:32.480
chooses Daniel mcgrinder Team w S O
P. God, that's just I mean,

483
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:36.799
it's just it's the best pick.
It really is. I mean,

484
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.039
but of course, I mean yeah, of course, I mean what some

485
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:43.359
other okay picks though, Let's come
on, let's be honest. All right,

486
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:50.680
you're up two picks, all right, I have to go, oh

487
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.000
god, this one, this one's
like so this is where it gets so

488
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:59.079
tricky, like god, I don't
know what to do. All right,

489
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:05.240
I'm gonna m I'm in the tank. Sorry, I know this is like

490
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.320
horrible radio, but like trying to
figure out what I'm gonna do. Here

491
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:14.159
are you trying to decide between you? Shoot you take some WSP. I'll

492
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.559
just got WP. I'm trying to
take where if I should take this person

493
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:21.519
or where I should put them?
All right, I'm gonna take I'm gonna

494
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:25.880
take Jeremy Osmas. Oh good one
w s OP. That was not who

495
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.559
I was tanking over, by the
way, I I called an audible interesting.

496
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:36.840
So that's my first pick. Ye. My second pick is I'm going

497
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:45.480
with Andrew Lucky Chewye Lichtenberger. Oh
WPT. I'm also banking on like what

498
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.079
I've kind of seen out there for
where these guys are gonna be. So,

499
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.119
if you're one of these players and
you're listening, don't let me down.

500
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:57.159
Okay, like Lickdenburger, better not
go to Paradise. You actually threw

501
00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:01.440
me for a loop because my second
player I thought you would have drafted.

502
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:06.880
So now I'm like wondering if you
know something that I don't know that maybe

503
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:15.840
he's not going to Paradise. Who's
that? Nope, I got enough confirmation

504
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:27.559
I would like to draft Sean DEEB
Team WSOP. Okay, you get another

505
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:35.880
pick, Team WSOP final pick,
mister perker Steak himself. God, Joshua,

506
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.760
I wanted to take him. Oh
yeah, I know, I know

507
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:44.559
I wanted to take him. Just
lock it up. Just give me all

508
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:49.000
the fake dollars that is up top
in this fantasy job. That's the A

509
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:53.119
plus team right there. Gosh,
I'm like, I mean, I'm just

510
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:58.599
so torn on some of this stuff. This feels like such a bad pick.

511
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:09.400
I just don't know I'm gonna go
ooh. Alex foxon WPT interesting,

512
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:16.800
he's sure he's not gonna Paradise,
to be honest, I'm guessing because he's

513
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:22.159
based in Las Vegas, because I'm
pretty sure he's playing the Big One for

514
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:28.679
one drop. He just sticks around
here and blasts everything that said, even

515
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:35.880
if he goes to w SP,
I mean whatever. My next pick is

516
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:45.800
going to be Jason Kuhn. He's
on my w SP. Interesting, Okay,

517
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:55.400
I had him on my WPT list
and the guy that I'm very surprised

518
00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:01.119
he didn't dropt. I got two
picks, right, Okay, Team w

519
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:08.840
PT Christopher Brewer, Team wpts Christopher
Okay, Yeah, he's playing this big

520
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:13.360
One. He's playing the Big One, I know, I mean, like

521
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:15.480
you know, I just don't know
is he coming for is he coming for

522
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:19.679
the early WPT so I met,
you know, I just all I can

523
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:25.000
say is that he was at Ari
yesterday, so maybe he's skipped. Doesn't

524
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:30.880
start till Sunday, so plenty of
time to get down him there with my

525
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:37.199
next pick. Since you took Jason
Kuhn, all right, I've got a

526
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:42.360
strategy. I'm going to be all
in on the Big One for one drop.

527
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:51.000
Oh second picks Nick Petangela, Nick
Nikki P Yeah, Nikki P.

528
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:57.400
This could be like a complete torch
of a pick or a strategy, but

529
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:05.400
I'm doing it Jason Kuhn WPT the
double, the double, that's the stand

530
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:08.079
double. So that this threw me
off at the beginning because I was initially

531
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.559
like, I'm gonna take Jason Kuhn. But then I was like, wait,

532
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.559
he's probably gonna go to WSP Paradise. Of course, GG Poker Association

533
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.239
play all that big stuff there.
Then he's gonna come back. But like

534
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:23.920
we know, he only plays the
biggest of the big so he's playing the

535
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.480
million dollars Big One for one drop? But like, what else is he

536
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.440
possibly gonna play at the WPT World
Championship. That said, why I'm saying

537
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.480
I think it might be a torches. I'm pretty much betting on Jason Kuhn

538
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.880
to win the Big One for one
drop with this pick for WPT. But

539
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:43.000
hey, there are worse players to
bet on the Jason Kuhn. So let's

540
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:46.000
go. Yeah, all right,
I have one more pick. Yes,

541
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:52.800
I have no idea. I need
to do some research. Quickly, give

542
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.760
me a second here, I should
just pick I should pick mine then,

543
00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:00.840
because you doesn't, well, yeah, but what if I want to pick

544
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:05.960
your guy? You can? But
yours is WSP minds WPT. So it's

545
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:12.320
fine if we can't share players,
you can't share a player from the same

546
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:20.800
no players at all. So I
thought you could take Nigrano for team WPT.

547
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.599
I thought it was a series specific. No, okay, I'll let

548
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.920
you go. Then you know what
you go first? Do you just do

549
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.800
yours. I'm just gonna four for
go that because I'm still in the tank

550
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.519
over here. I'm all in on
the big one for one drop for my

551
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:43.199
team WPT. I'm gonna draft Seminal
twenty five K high Roller champion Alexi Ponokovs

552
00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:46.719
to my team. Come on down, Alexi, you are going to win.

553
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:52.599
You're gonna go one two three with
Nikki p and Chris Brewer in the

554
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:58.639
big for one for one drop.
It's just so annoying, all right,

555
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:02.440
I'm going me no, damn it. See, I think I already messed

556
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:09.840
up with this pick of Alex Foxen
for WPT because I see that Kristen Foxen

557
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:15.000
has a crap ton of stuff listed
for WSP Paradise. I mean that that

558
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:21.760
said, it can still your research. Yeah, you wank fantasy last year.

559
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:23.719
Sure, I think this was Matt
Clark must have been. You know

560
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:29.360
why I won the twenty five K
Fantasy last year because I researched. Because

561
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:31.519
I researched, my face off.
I have done no research for this,

562
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:36.559
okay, as evidenced by the fact
that I'm giving up picks to you so

563
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:43.280
I can look through stuff online.
Right now, I'm gonna go with espen

564
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:50.400
Georstadt for my last WSP pick.
He has stuff listed for both series.

565
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.440
But I think the WPT stuff is
the talent, Like they have a WPT

566
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:59.519
Alpha eight. I don't know what
else they have. So some names I

567
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:01.920
had on my list. One name
I was unsure about where he was going

568
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:06.119
was a Jesse Lonis. Like,
I don't know if he's going to do.

569
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:07.840
Your guess is as good as mine. Yeah, I thought a good

570
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:14.320
WSP one obviously because we're doing you
know, most money. Like there's a

571
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.559
few different scoring categories. I thought
Ben Yu could be a good one.

572
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.840
Dylan Lindy could be a good one
for WSP as well. But yeah,

573
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.639
no, I'm obviously when I get
the three best players that are going to

574
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:32.440
the WSP, can't complain about my
team. So yeah, I want one

575
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:37.480
person that I was I was looking
at But I mean, I'm i'd say

576
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:40.840
I'm probably like eighty percent confident that
they're going to end up going to WSP

577
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:46.840
Paradise. And this person has had
success and big success at Atlantis before and

578
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:52.119
that's China Reim, former PCA main
event winner. Yeah, China Reim has

579
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.960
been hot this year. He's obviously
chasing PGT points. He loves you know,

580
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.639
big buy and stuff, and that's
where he really sells. You know,

581
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:02.719
it's like once you hit the five
figure price point. China Reem's like

582
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:06.679
one of the best players, you
know, just in terms of results for

583
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:08.800
what he does. The guy just
for whatever reason, does extremely well.

584
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:15.119
Has a bunch of stuff listed on
poker Steak for the WSP Paradise series.

585
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:19.000
That said, new Father, you
know, there's obviously a lot of stuff

586
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.119
going on out here in Las Vegas. So do you just kind of pass

587
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:23.280
up, do you cut your trip
early? Like whatever? I mean,

588
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:27.800
I I just don't know for sure, So I passed on that pick.

589
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.440
But there's there's a lot of available
players. Jonathan Little's got a lot of

590
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:37.280
stuff listed for WSP Paradise, you
know, like that, there's a lot

591

596

and Donnie in all three categories.
Again, the categories are most money won,

597
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:10.639
largest single score, and most cases, then we are going to send

00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:16.519
you a Poker Groat podcast swag pack. So yeah, it's gonna be fun.

599
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:20.039
I can't I can't wait to see
all this. I like having some

600
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.960
skin in the game. So we
need to do more of these fantasy sort

601
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:24.480
of things. I don't know if
we'll make them as complicated as I made

602
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:31.039
this lost PGT Lost Chance fantasy.
We could dot Last Champion one thousand PGT

603
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:35.199
Championship because we know forty of the
players, and then we know the dream

604
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:37.880
Sea winners, right like we We
actually should probably create some sort of company

605
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:43.920
promotion for that, So maybe we
do that. But yeah, we can,

606
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.639
uh, we can start doing more
of these going forward. I think

607
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:49.159
I think they make for good,
good content. All right, we got

608
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:54.960
the Run Good Poker Series Dream Seat
Invitational just wrapped up up at Thunder Valley.

609
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.880
So what this was is, if
you are a run Good ring winner,

610
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:02.159
you could you earned eligibility to play
in this event. I think it

611
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:06.119
was a three dollars buy in,
So there was a prize money on the

612
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:10.119
side as well as Sorry, if
you want a main events seat, you

613
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:14.400
received entry. If you're a winn, you could buy it. You could

614
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:15.480
buy in. Yes, a run
Good main event. Sorry. Yeah,

615
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:20.840
So Jeff Platt won his ring after
this was over, so he missed it

616
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:25.920
unfortunately, but it is that's right. So there was the prize money up

617
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:30.239
for grabs, but most importantly,
there was a dream seat up for grabs

618
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:34.039
for the winner. And that dream
seat means you win your way to compete

619
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:39.519
in the PGT Championship one million dollars
free roll. So the winner Jeff Lennon.

620
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.920
He is the winner of the event, the Run Good Poker Series Dream

621
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:49.519
Seat Invitational. We will see Jeff
Lennon in January January ninth at the Poker

622
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:53.199
Studio in Las Vegas. He will
be playing alongside what could potentially be Daniel

623
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:58.360
Legrand, You, Isaac Hackson,
Andrew Liechtenberger, Steven Chidwick, Jeremy Austmas,

624
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:00.159
Phil Helmet, et cetera. All
these players the top forty of the

625
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:06.079
PGT Lead Award. Jeff Lennon will
be in there. He qualified through our

626
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:09.880
partnership with the Run Good Poker Series. Lennon won his Run Good ring in

627
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:15.280
an eleven hundred dollars one day Deepsack
event at Greyton back in March. He

628
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.639
took home a bit over twenty thousand
dollars for that win. That allowed him

629
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:22.039
to earn the eligibility to play in
the dream Set Invitational. And then he

630
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:24.519
came out on top in the dream
Set Invitational. He won that dream seat,

631
00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:28.519
so we'll see him in January at
the studio. And then he also

632
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:32.239
took home five four hundred dollars in
prize money to go along with the dream

633
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:36.480
Seat. Can't wait to see mister
Lennon. I mean, it's just cool

634
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.159
to get these dream Seed winners in. We've got a handful of them that

635
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:43.039
are going to be coming out to
compete in the PGT Championship event, so

636
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:47.639
very very cool there. And then
Game of Gold, Buddy, we're through

637
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:53.320
what episode nine? Now, yes, that sounds right. Nine episode nine,

638
00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:58.960
episode Well we just episode nine was
released yesterday, which was Wednesday.

639
00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:05.960
Episode ten comes tomorrow. We finally
got some drama along the lines of what

640
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:09.760
Tim and I we're talking about on
the recent podcast episode if you listen to

641
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:15.559
that, and what I mean by
that is there was two big dramatic moments

642
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:19.920
for me. One was you had
David Williams freaking out against Charlie Carroll.

643
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.119
A lot of f words were dropped, yelling, like yelling, I mean,

644
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:29.280
it's like and like also like the
contrast in the characters, Like I'm

645
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:34.440
not sure you could have two more
contrasting characters right like you have you have

646
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:42.119
David Williams, who like comes up
in poker. He's always like extremely stylish,

647
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.159
like he's got a diamond toothpick when
he shows up to NBC heads up,

648
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:50.280
Like his hair is always like lined
up nicely, like he's driving a

649
00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:52.400
tesla, like all this sort of
stuff. Right on the other side,

650
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:59.639
you have a very free going Charlie
Carroll, long hair down to his chest.

651
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:02.679
He's wearing a shirt that's just wide
open showing his body. Like,

652
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.199
I mean, it's just the contrast
of the character. Charlie's trying to take

653
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.039
like a very zen approach to like
this argument. David's just dropping the F

654
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:15.159
bombs yelling at him. Andy Stacks
is like just kind of in there,

655
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:17.639
like trying to be like the mediator
between the two, but he was not

656
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:21.320
working as the mediator. He's like, guys, you know, guys,

657
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:24.199
guys. David's like fuck this,
fuck that whatever, and Charlie's like,

658
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:27.920
you can't be doing this to me
when I'm about to go play, like

659
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:30.719
you're messing with my energy. Like
the whole thing was just that's the type

660
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:32.840
of entry. And then after it
all, they hug it out like they

661
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.920
hug it out and they're like I
love you man, Like let's go in

662
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:39.840
there and win. So like that's
the type of like fun reality TV drama

663
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:43.599
that we wanted to see. So
that was the first one. The other

664
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:51.800
one was you had Olga Emilcheva starts
crying because because she she lost a heads

665
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:55.199
up turbo sitting goo like with a
with a bad structure against a good player.

666
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:59.960
Like it's like, you know,
I don't know, I know,

667
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:02.199
but I know it shows that she
cares. But I'm saying like I didn't

668
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:07.480
expect it to happen, Like so
she's like she's extremely upset that she first

669
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:10.400
you have before she even goes to
play, you have her in her team

670
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:16.119
room. It's her, it's Nikita
Kuther and it's uh Robin Poker, which

671
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:20.719
I forget his real name, but
well, Lucas Robinson, Lucas Robinson,

672
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:24.400
I always forget is known by Robin
Poker, but uh, Lucas Robinson is

673
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:29.159
like super positive, we're gonna win. We gotta believe. I know it's

674
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.079
gonna be hard, but we got
this whatever, and Olgus like flat out

675
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:36.519
like we don't have a chance waiting
a miracle. It's not gonna happen whatever.

676
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:39.280
So like in a way, she's
like she's on one side of it,

677
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:43.719
like going into the match and like
you know, Lucas Robinson's like trying

678
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.039
to amper up, and then nikey
To comes in. She's like, guys,

679
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.239
let's all hold hands, let's meditate. The whole episode's all over the

680
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:53.400
place. Then Olga goes into the
match, loses, and she's crying because

681
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:58.079
she let her team down and didn't
perform well. And I'm like that's such

682
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:02.280
a one eighty from where you were
premat so like yeah, and like she's

683
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:06.039
in there, Lucas Robinson has to
go out and play and take on Charlie

684
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:08.199
Carroll for the next round, and
like Nikid is trying to console her on

685
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:12.280
the couch, she's crying. She's
crying in that little one on one interview

686
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:14.800
they do with her, like,
yeah, she feels bad, so like

687
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:19.760
it shows that she really cares about
performing well, probably for herself and also

688
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:22.639
for the teammates. You know,
she maybe she's crying because she feels like

689
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:27.719
she just looked like an idiot or
something on TV. I don't know.

690
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.360
I don't know exactly why she's crying. It's probably all of those things like

691
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:34.360
thrown into a pot and involved in
one thing. But yeah, but those

692
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:38.400
two like dramatic moments. I think
we're good. The one that happened before,

693
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:42.960
like you know, Jungleman and Yo
Viral, like that was I feel

694
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:46.800
like the highlights overplayed it. It
wasn't really it didn't really meet expectation,

695
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:51.360
Like I was thinking they were really
good. I loved it. Oh yeah,

696
00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:52.960
yeah, it was fun, don't
get me wrong, But like I

697
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:55.920
was expecting more. I was expecting
more like David Williams Charlie Carroll, which

698
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:59.679
I think was like way more like
in your I mean, David Williams went

699
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:01.760
in like he was like, no, this is fucking wrong, like what

700
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:06.960
like blah blah blah. The whole
thing was was pretty crazy. So so

701
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:09.840
yeah, I definitely think they need
to lean into that sort of stuff more.

702
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:17.800
My my concern would be that we
got the drama that we wanted,

703
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:20.840
at least you and I wanted,
and I know you and I have talked

704
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:24.039
to a lot of people that have
kind of like agreed on wanting more drama

705
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:28.880
with a reality based show like this. We got it in episode nine.

706
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.400
So did you lose people before you
really showed it? Which hurts? Like

707
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:36.360
do people just kind of turn it
on they're like, yeah, I'm not

708
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:37.760
really into this. It's kind of
whatever, so I'm just not going to

709
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.480
continue. But if you would have
stuck around, you stuck it out episode

710
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:45.159
nine, they delivered like the people
are screaming at each other like okay,

711
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.639
yeah, one person crying like let's
go. This is it? So yeah,

712
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.559
So I guess those are like my
initial thoughts overall, and I'll let

713
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:54.760
you kind of give yours right now. No, I agreed with everything you

714
00:50:54.800 --> 00:51:00.519
just said. I I liked how
I know, we discussed Maria or a

715
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.039
little bit last time. She got
a little spicy. She was given it

716
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:07.599
to jungle, you know, like
are you scared of girls? And like

717
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:12.320
giving him a bit of a bit
of shick while they're playing heads up.

718
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:16.840
So I enjoyed that. Obviously she
crushed the heads up matches and wanted for

719
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:21.280
her team. But yeah, I
think we got some drama. Did they

720
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.480
leave it too late? Maybe?
But I'm still in. I'm still ready.

721
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:30.239
I'm ready for tomorrow's episode, ready
for Monday's episode. I'm all in

722
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:37.239
on Game of Gold. I think
Maria has really like shined through. Yeah,

723
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:42.679
overall, so I think probably mostly
from her play and listen, she

724
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:45.079
addressed it, you know, right
to the camera. She said, you

725
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:49.880
know a lot of times people kind
of put me in this little bucket where

726
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:54.440
I'm a really good female poker player. And she said, I'm a really

727
00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:59.360
good poker player. And that's true. Like if you know Maria and you've

728
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:00.840
watched her the years, and you
watch the play, she's a very good

729
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:04.320
poker player. Like she doesn't have
to be, you know, put in

730
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:07.920
this little camp of just the women. No, she's extremely good overall,

731
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:12.199
I think you can probably hear that
when you've listened to her on commentary or

732
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:15.199
when you've watched her over the years. She's on tons of live streams,

733
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:19.079
you know, throughout she's made some
deep runs and tournaments all that sort of

734
00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:22.280
stuff, so you've probably been accustomed
to that. But then also like watching

735
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:25.000
her in this element, I thought
she played extremely well in the heads up

736
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:30.719
format, which is which is good. So yeah, that that team to

737
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:32.400
me, well, I don't I
don't know how long that team's gonna go

738
00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:36.320
forward, but the team of Mariajo
josh Aria, Fador Holtz, like that

739
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:38.320
was a fun team to me.
You know, like josh Ari always like

740
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:43.239
kind of rooting in the background.
You got the the strategy and the the

741
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:46.159
analytical side from Fador, who you
know. I mean they talked about at

742
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:50.079
the beginning, like Fador kind of
coached them a little bit or gave them,

743
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:52.760
you know, some tips early on, some advice on how to approach

744
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:54.920
the heads up stuff. So you
get like that sort of element from things.

745
00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:59.519
And then Marie just went out there
and did her thing and crushed it.

746
00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:02.639
So yeah, I mean, I'm
I'm excited for it going forward.

747
00:53:02.840 --> 00:53:07.440
I don't really know what's how it's
going to continue to play out, Like,

748
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:09.079
I just don't know where the format's
going from here, you know,

749
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:14.039
Like when do they break up to
individuals? Right Like, obviously that's gonna

750
00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:16.920
happen because there's only one another.
I'm guessing there's another vote off soon and

751
00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:20.920
then they'll be down to well I
think, I think so. Right now

752
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:23.480
they're in they're in four teams of
three. Yeah, two teams that one

753
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:27.400
are like in the finals. The
other two teams are in the loser's brackets.

754
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:29.679
So I'm assuming the loser of the
loser's bracket is going to be gone

755
00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:32.800
see you later. And that's why
the team of Lucas Robinson, Olga Imocheva,

756
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:37.119
Nikita Luthor like need to do so
much because they have the lowest amount

757
00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:42.440
of gold coins total among their teams, so they need to they need to.

758
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.599
I don't know if they can do
it now that that Olga loss to

759
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:47.480
Charlie Carroler. I don't know if
they needed to sweep all the matches or

760
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:52.440
how that worked out, but they
you know, they they need to beat

761
00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:55.320
them for sure to even give themselves
the chance of advancing. And then we'll

762
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:59.960
we'll see where it goes from there. So I'm still kind of out on

763
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:02.480
dan Keats and then we talked about
it last time, but like, you

764
00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:07.639
know me, listen, Kina England
is like trying to engage with him,

765
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:10.159
Yeah, and he's just like not, he's not into it, like or

766
00:54:10.239 --> 00:54:15.119
he's asleep or he's asleep. It's
like, dude, you're killing me here.

767
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:21.480
So yeah, the only thing I
like about Jungle is that Vasaci shirt.

768
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:24.440
He was wearing the red and I
looked at I was like, oh,

769
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:29.079
I could put I send this to
a photographer Antonio because we were both

770
00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:31.440
We're both watching the episode and I
was like, I dig this shirt.

771
00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:34.320
I really want to buy the shirt. Looked it up, you know,

772
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:37.199
a thousand dollars. So I quickly
decided not to get that shirt. But

773
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:43.000
yeah, johnle bottom of the barrel, Charlie, you're heading down that way.

774
00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:49.000
Maria trending up, Olga, she's
trending up too. Showed shit that

775
00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:54.000
she cared. I think that's important. David Williams MVP. All we needed

776
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:58.559
was a punch, just a swing
that it was so good like I could

777
00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:01.000
have I honestly, I could have
without the the hugging and making up at

778
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:06.119
the end of it, just let
it stew, you know, like fighting.

779
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:12.480
You know. I also think it's
I think it's interesting because like poker

780
00:55:12.519 --> 00:55:16.800
is such a small industry, like
comparatively to like other really big industries,

781
00:55:16.880 --> 00:55:21.639
right that, Like I've seen a
lot of the players. I've seen fad

782
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:23.800
Or, I've seen Charlie Carroll,
I've seen Jungle Man, like get on

783
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:29.880
social media and likes say their thoughts
or defend themselves. And like, I

784
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:35.960
don't know if I see like people
on from regular reality shows or maybe I'm

785
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:37.440
just not paying this close attention and
I could just be totally wrong, but

786
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:42.599
like go on social media and like
defend themselves to some sort of community or

787
00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:45.599
whatever. Like are people on like
the Challenge who fight each other? Like,

788
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:50.119
are they like then going on social
media and like defending themselves. I

789
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:52.760
don't know, I feel like that's
kind of that might be more. It

790
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:55.119
might just be that I see it
more because I'm in poker, so I

791
00:55:55.159 --> 00:56:00.320
see all the poker of course,
which which certainly could be. But there's

792
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:01.440
definitely some of that out there,
like, you know, so if you

793
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:05.039
if you're out there and you're watching
these episodes, I would say hop on

794
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:08.440
social media afterwards, because everyone seems
to be like interjecting their thoughts on like

795
00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:12.360
either like some of the decisions that
were made for like who goes first,

796
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:15.159
or that maybe some of the hands
that were played. Certainly some of the

797
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:19.039
more dramatic moments that have happened,
you know, people are saying like,

798
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:21.559
I, you know, I felt
this way, I felt that way,

799
00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:24.360
you know whatever, So that stuff
is all out there to consume, and

800
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.760
overall, I think it's it's it's
it's rounding, it's rounding the corner in

801
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:30.719
a way. You know, you
and I are both like, we need

802
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:34.280
more of a drama element to this
whole thing, and now we've turned a

803
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.840
corner. So we'll see if that
keeps up going forward. And yeah,

804
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:44.519
I mean I also enjoy the Josh
and Fatal romance because yeah, they're very

805
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:46.599
I think that I would say they
kind of poll the opposite poker plays,

806
00:56:46.679 --> 00:56:50.880
right, we have well one's young, ones old, one's a live player,

807
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:53.039
one's an online like or came from
the online world, right. You

808
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:57.760
know, it's like they're just they're
so different and they're bonding over you know

809
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:01.400
that the team camaraderie, you know, the teammate Maria crushing and that bit's

810
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:06.599
actually been like they win a big
pot, they embraced this massive hug and

811
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:09.519
high fives like that's fine. Like
shows that like also shows that those two

812
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:15.559
care too, And I think for
sure, yeah, I would say also

813
00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:20.559
like Andy Stas just feels like the
odd man out and like the whole thing,

814
00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:23.440
like he's just he's very quiet,
he doesn't have a loud personality.

815
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:28.760
He's he's just there, like he's
a cash game player, while all of

816
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:34.559
these guys are predominantly MTT guys.
So yeah, yeah, I mean it

817
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:37.719
is a Viral might be cashed or
Jungleman might be cash. I mean they

818
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.239
play tournaments. Of course, Viral
has a lot of empty t success general,

819
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:43.679
I know, but he also plays
a lot of like high stakes cash

820
00:57:43.800 --> 00:57:45.320
plays and bobbies and like stuff like
that, right, so you know,

821
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:47.679
he's kind of like a he can
do do it all type of thing,

822
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:51.840
whereas you know, Andy Stax is
for sure like I just play cash like

823
00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:54.639
that's what I do, you know. So so yeah, which I'm I

824
00:57:54.639 --> 00:58:00.559
guess I'm a little bit surprised because
I think a lot of success live cash

825
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:04.079
game guys, which I think Andy
stacks is. I think he's very good

826
00:58:04.119 --> 00:58:07.760
at live cash. They have a
lot of personality and they are pretty colorful.

827
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:13.400
Because in order to keep games fun, to keep getting into good games

828
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:15.559
like, you have to have that, right. You can't just be like

829
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:19.400
a robot at the table, right. You can be a robot at the

830
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:22.119
table in a tournament, doesn't matter, but in a cash game like,

831
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:23.199
there is some ofch sort of that
stuff like it. You know, it

832
00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:28.760
trends on the into the politics of
the whole live cash game scene. But

833
00:58:28.760 --> 00:58:31.320
but yeah, I'm interested in that. So so yeah, it's it's a

834
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:36.119
it's been a fun watch. I'm
certainly into it again. I think,

835
00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:39.000
going back to what we talked about
last time, the big takeaway that I

836
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:44.039
have is that there is an appetite
for this within poker. So I'm excited

837
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:47.320
to see what possibly happens with season
two. We won't get into it now,

838
00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:50.719
but I'm just gonna put it out
there so Tim and I can start

839
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:53.360
thinking of it. Is that as
this season comes to a close, we

840
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:58.480
should start thinking of who we would
want to see on season two, which

841
00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:00.800
I think would be that could be
a fun extit size you know, down

842
00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:02.519
the road. But of course,
still in season one here of Game of

843
00:59:02.519 --> 00:59:06.880
Gold. It does air on the
gg Poker YouTube channel every Monday, Wednesday,

844
00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:10.199
and Friday. I've heard they have
fourteen total episodes, sixteen total episodes,

845
00:59:10.239 --> 00:59:14.079
eighteen total episodes during the season.
I have no idea how many they

846
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:16.639
have. They've done nine. Another
one's coming out tomorrow, So we got

847
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:20.599
a handful of them coming up,
and we're gonna see how this goes.

848
00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:25.599
I'm guessing after we get out of
this this heads up group stage that they're

849
00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:29.760
in and we're gonna be left with
nine players would be my guess is how

850
00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:34.400
it works. That's when they break
into individual stuff. But we'll see how

851
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:37.880
it goes. Even yeah, some
kind of maybe they have to get down

852
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:42.079
at eight and then we can split
it up. The heads up they're like

853
00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:45.320
a bracket stole. Maybe we'll see
how it goes going forward. But Tim

854
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:49.079
and I are both fans, and
uh, we're gonna be talking about this,

855
00:59:49.159 --> 00:59:50.960
I don't know, every every week
or so, every time there's a

856
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:53.480
new like handful of episodes. Yeah, we're gonna hit on this and uh

857
00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:58.079
yeah, but yeah, that's gonna
do it for the pod again, don't

858
00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:01.599
forget to get your submissions in for
the WPT and w SP fantasy that Tim

859
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:06.519
and I are running, and I
really don't think we have anything else.

860
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:10.440
No, hopefully we got Sixtus.
Good luck to you too. Let's go

861
01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:14.519
get out there. You're coming to
play, and hopefully we can update the

862
01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:17.920
tomorrow tomorrow eleven a. M.
All right, I'm coming, I got

863
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:22.480
bullets, I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to fire like blast away baby

864
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:25.679
to the moon. Hopefully I do
like I think what Ryan Laplant did.

865
01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:30.519
One bullet, find a bag,
decent, stack a bunch of days off,

866
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:35.639
return on Sunday, and continue on. That's that's the goal. So

867
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:39.079
all right for Tim Duckworth, my
name is Donny Peters. We're gonna wrap

868
01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:43.920
it up here and we will talk
to you guys next week. Face
