Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Poker Go
Podcast. My name is Donny Peters and it is my pleasure to be flying
solo today because Tim is out, so I am here and I can do
what I damn well. Please, Maybe I'll have some fun rankings. Maybe
I'll I don't know. No, I'm just kidding. I'm not gonna do
anything. I'm gonna run through the news. We got an interview to play
as well, and yeah, we'll get you out of here. It's one
forty five in the morning. I just got done playing the three K not
too long ago, busted in the last level of the night, so I'm
a bit fried. But I'll be bringing you the news recapping what happened on
Monday, June twenty fourth at the twenty twenty four World Series of Poker.
We're gonna be hitting on the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship. Today was
Day two. We have the prize pool, we know how many final entries
were in the field. We know the chip leader entering day three, and
that is Jao Vieira out of Portugal, so we'll touch on that. We
have looks like three hundred and nineteen players left in the Millionaire Maker. We
mentioned yesterday that one of the big news items for today would be the payouts
in the Millionaire Maker. We have those payouts, so we'll talk about that.
Super Seniors drew three thousand, three hundred and sixty two entries. We
got Day one or the three thousand dollars NOLM and hold them. That's what
I played, but I will no longer be playing. We also have Day

I think first things first, we are going to let's go to an interview
with Nick Wright. Okay, so I was playing the three K today and
a table or two over I see Nick Wright sit down. Nick Wright is
a sports media personality. If you were listening to or sorry, watching some
poker grow recently two hundred and fifty K super high Roller, Nick Wright hopped
in the booth alongside Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks. Diehard poker enthusiast absolutely loves
it. You know. He's one of the biggest sports media personalities in the
world. Host of the What's Right podcast First Things First on FS one.
So Nick does a lot in the sports world, but as you can tell
by the interview that I did with him, absolutely loves the game of poker,
absolutely loves it. So on the first break of the three k Nolman
Holdhem I went over talked with him. I've met Nick before. I interviewed
him before when he participated on maybe a game on the Future or Pokera after
Dog. I forget exactly what it was at the studio, but he's played
on some of our stuff before. So here is that interview with Nick Wright.
Alright, I'm here with Nick Wright, host of First Things First on
FS one and What's Right with Nick Wright. I want to know how much
you love poker because you're always here, You're in the commentary booth with Jeff
and Brent, You're watching all the time, you're tweeting about it. I'm
what's your love for the game, Like, I mean, it's my only
it's my only. I don't want you want to call it a hobby because
I care about it more than that. But it's aside from work and family.
It's the only way I spend my time. I listened to your Guys
podcast. I watch every thing Poker Go puts out I told Jeff and Brent
two day Saturday, when I was in the booth for the first time,
that it was my first time nervous broadcasting in eight years. The last time
I felt nervous broadcasting was my first day ever filling in for Colin Cowhart,
and I felt similarly in the booth for the two hundred and fifty K,
and then luckily they invited me back to do the final table. I no,
I just really love it and I just love being a part of it.
I watched a bit of the two fifty K while you were in the
booth. It didn't seem like you were nervous at all. Is this something
you would ever like aspire to do a little bit more oft forever? Yeah?
Yeah, I mean I aspire to do more of it immediately. The
I it's the It's just what's tough is being physically in Vegas, and so
if there was a way for me to be able to do more stuff and
not like right now this moment. The reason I'm out here is because the
Euro's soccer tournament is going on. So we have no TV show for today,
which is Monday, when we're talking Tuesday and Wednesday, So I had
like a five day stretch where I could come out and so yeah, I
mean I have. I've wanted to be a part of poker, not just
as a player but as a commentator for a long time. Obviously there's great
you know what I mean, there's there's great, great, great ones.
I think Jeff and Brent are as good of a team as there is.
I, along with literally the entirety of the poker world, love Shulman and
Ali, and there's obviously many others. But yeah, I mean I I
I really enjoy it, and I hope to do more of it. And
if there's ever a way to be able to do some of it, you
know, without having to necessarily physically be in Las Vegas, I do a
ton more of it. It's just hard for me to get out here for
long stretches of time. Obviously a big poker enthusiast. You're in the three
K now. I think you played the Millimaker as well, still chasing your
first EBISIP cash though well, so I mean, to be fair, the
Millimaker was my first wsop tek. Okay, so I'm O for one.
But we now know how many how many ternaments people play, so I've never
played. This is my first time ever playing in the World series. Okay,
what do you think of it? Oh? I think it's great.
I mean, it's awesome, and I'm The thing is this, I'm not
supposed to be playing in the three K because I'm actually I want to,
and I'm supposed to be playing the eight Study. That was going to be
my next question. I heard you tell that you were playing, so that's
my that was my plan. And then when I got here that hadn't started
yet, and so I decided that I'm going to register this three K and
take super high variance lines in the first three hours and to try to either
get a huge stack to where it's I'll keep playing it or bust and then
I'll happily go play the eight Study, which is what I really want to
play. But it wasn't going yet. And you know, I fortunately have
a nice night, very brief but nice night post final table broadcast in the
Aria High Limit blackjack room, so I have a little extra money to where
if I burn this three K through some bad plays, I'm still plus on
the trip. So yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna see if i can
spin this up to a big number, and if I can, I'll go
play the mixed game that I wanted to play. You mentioned being out here
for a few days break from work. You got the three K now,
maybe that limit tournament later, anything else on the schedule, No, I
mean right now, I'm supposed to fly back Wednesday night this tournament and the
eight. If I were to final table it, obviously I wouldn't fly back
Wednesday night. That would be, as Marlow Stanfield would call it, a
good problem. So I will see. I hope to come back at some
point. I won't be able to do the main because I just can't take
that much time, but I hope to be back before the end of the
series and playing something else. I'm not sure what playing something else. As
someone who has followed along everything that's happened so far at the World Cheries Spoker
so far, what's the one moment that sticks out to you from a fan
perspective or maybe a couple? I mean, yeah, I mean Ivy winning
his bracelets, unbelievable, big HUNI going first third in the two biggest tournaments.
Buy in at the series. Scott sever reminding everyone that he's got a
legitimate claim maybe to best all around player. And then I, I mean,
awestmis has been unbelievable. And then I'm partial because I consider, despite
the fact that we're still yet to meet in person, I consider Nick Shulman
a personal friend. Shulman winning what winning the was it twenty five fifty K?
I don't even know the twenty five k for his first hold embracelet?
And then also was it with you or with Tim that he did the podcast?
Okay, the interview where Nick said, like, I thought it was
really dope, and I don't want to misquote him, but I think he
said, like, yeah, I want to be the best all around player
in the world. And he also said that he considers himself like in that
conversation, Oh, well, he's definitively I think any I think everyone that
knows what they're talking about considered himself in that conversation. And I think privately,
probably everyone who's in the conversation wants to be at the forefront of it.
But people I really respect, I'm gonna make it about me for a
moment. I Uh, I'm on the record repeatedly that my career, my
ultimate career goal, and my career I will not consider a success a full
success. If I don't, if I'm not at one point the family feud
style, JORDI answer to who's the best sportscaster in America? I want like
or the most, the biggest, whatever it is. I want to,
even if it's just for a day, I want there to be a day
in time where the answer that is me. I think a lot of people
probably feel that way, but don't say it because it kind of makes you
sound like an asshole and it's a weird thing to say or whatever. But
it's true. So I say it. Well, let me let me say
that. Yeah, I have said the same thing for poker media. I
want to beat that for poker media. You know, so I've said it
before on the Poker Gril podcast. I have no problem being the asshole by
saying that, but I do like it helps motivate you. And so here's
so, and I think that's great, and I think that's how how driven
successful people should act or believe. I thought it was really cool that Nick
said it, that Nick wasn't fake. So often you get these winners that
say it was lucky, it was the cards. Whatever did I did it?
I did it, and I and I, you know, should be
considered again, I want to misquote him for the best all around player in
the world, and I think that's so dope, and so I think.
So those are the things that jump out to me more. I'm sure there
are other things I'm forgetting. Uh And obviously Santos coming back last night in
the two fifty called it. Well, I did call it. I do.
I will give myself credit. I did call it once we got to
the final table that I thought Santo should be more was a variable in that
playing for the win and that if anyone was going to overcome Find's massive Chipley,
it could be him, and he did. He did do it.
But yeah, those are the moments that stand out to me. That was
Nick Right, Listen, It's great to hear Nick Wright's passion for poker,
and I like to think that in some other alternate reality, Nick Wright would
have been a poker player or maybe poker media personality or you know, something
of the like. He certainly loves the game, doesn't get to play a
lot of it, you know, as you heard him mention there, his
his work is, you know, that's his main thing. That's what he
does. Doesn't get a lot of time away, but does have some days
to come out here and blast off. So so yeah, I believe he
busted the three K, and I think he popped in to the twenty five
hundred dollars oe tournament. I'm not exactly sure if he did, but I
did see him roaming around the horseshoe at some point, So so yeah,
And listen, I was honest when I said to Nick, you know,
like, just like he wants to be the best sports media personality in the
world, I've always wanted to be the best poker media personality in the world.
I want to essentially be and I think I've said it on the podcast
before. I basically want to be the Bill Simmons of poker. That's what
I would like to be. You know, I think that would be the
best thing in the world. Big fan of Bill Simmons. So you know,
hopefully I can just you know, keep working towards that every single day
and get a little bit better at everything that I do. But listen,
it's great to have Nick out here, even for the few days that he
is out here. Great to get him in the booth. You know,
maybe we can work him in a little bit more. I know he mentioned,
you know the fact that he doesn't live here in Las Vegas. He
lives out in New York, so he's not able to get here all the
time. He's not able to come here and do commentary and whatever. But
hey, it's twenty twenty four. Technology is one hell of a thing.
So maybe we can do some remote hits something like that. Get him in
here, have him talking about things, main event coming up, maybe that
I don't know. I'll float it to the bosses and see what they say.
All right, let's get into the nitty gritty news that we have to
talk about. We have the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship, So eighty
nine entries this year. That's the final number, down a little bit from
last year. Last year had ninety nine entries, and then the year before
one hundred and twelve. So now the second year that it has declined.
So went from one to twelve to ninety nine to eighty nine. I guess
a little bit head scratching. Wyatt's going down. I do know a couple
players I think were playing some other tournaments. I know for a fact that
Dan Shack could not register the fifty k because he was still in the Millionaire
Maker, and then he busted the millionaire Maker surely after registration closed in the
fifty k and he couldn't play it. He actually busted the Millionaire Maker shortly
after registration closed in the fifty KPPC and the one k Super Seniors, both
tournaments he wanted to play. I know this because he sat next to me
in the three K Nolm and hold him and he was talking about how he
lost this tough hand in the Millionaire Maker, and then, to make matters
worse, he couldn't play either of the tournaments that he really wanted to play,
the Super Seniors and the fifty KPPC, because he busted in the millionaire
Maker after reg had closed in those other events. So stuff like that happening
is just kind of the variance of tournament entries, you know, if you're
an operator, I know, we know this stuff with the PGT and the
stuff that we do in the Poker Go Studio. You know, there's there's
variants with just like scheduling and stuff. You know, people can be playing
one thing or another and not getting your event. Maybe they're making a deep
run, they don't hop in the fifty KPPC. That sort of stuff that
said, eighty nine entries in the fifty KPPC just under one point two million
dollars for first place. It's one million, one hundred and seventy eight thousand
dollars up top of course, the coveted World Series of Poker Gold bracelet.
The top fourteen spots are going to pay one hundred and two thousand dollars for
a min cash. It looks like they tricked me on the chip counts.
The end of day chip Counts said that Joo Vieira was up on top,
but now I just refreshed it and he's knocked down a little bit, and
James Opst is up on top. So Australian James, who won a bracelet
earlier this summer, he is up on top. It looks like as long
as this end of day post on WSP dot com is correct, twenty nine
players remain again field size eighty nine entries. Jeremy Osmos is second in chips.
Opps bagged one million, nine hundred and sixty one thousand. They began
the tournament with three hundred k ozmos one million, eight hundred and thirty nine
thousand I know Ozmas hasn't won a gold bracelet this summer, but it's kind
of quietly the summer of Ozmas in a lot of ways. I mean,
we just saw him finish seventh in the two hundred and fifty K super high
Roller. Took home seven hundred and fifty four K. There. He has
a bunch of cashes one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight cashes so far at the twenty twenty four WSOP the biggest
ones or the most important ones of the deepest runes with. However you want
to classify a fourth place finish in the fifteen hundred dollars Nolanman hold him shootout
one hundred nine thousand dollars score. There he took third place. In the
twenty five hundred dollars Nolanman hold him freeze out for two hundred and nine thousand
dollars, twenty sixth place for one hundred and one K. In the fifty
thousand dollars Nolan Ma hold him high Roller, he got second. Of course,
everyone knows the most epic final table of the summer, the one hundred
thousand dollars high Roller, Ozmas took second for just shy of one point nine
million. He lost heads up to Chris big Huni Heuniken, and then I
mentioned that's seventh place finish in the tw hundred fifty kay Super high Roller for
three quarters of a million dollars seven hundred and fifty four k. So Osmas
is crushing, absolutely crushing, and now he has the second largest stack entering
Day three of the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship. So if things continue
to go the way that they have for a Jammy Osmas, I think it's
safe to say or safe to expect him to make a run to the money
and a run to the final table in the fifty k PPC. But we
will see how that goes. Of course, this tournament extremely long, extremely
drawn out, very very very player friendly structure. You know, this tournament
is basically a cash game in tournament form is the best way that I would
describe it. So Johnny Becker third in chips, Jared Blessnik fourth in chips,
The Blaze Show on the stream. If you didn't watch the stream,
you missed one hell of a show. So today we started on Poker Go
on the Poker Goro YouTube channel. Day two coverage of this event on poker
Go starting with today's Day two. That that just wrapped up. We're gonna
have Day two, Day three, Day four, and the final table all
streaming on poker Go, so extended coverage of the twenty twenty four WSPA fifty
k PPC. At the end of the night, the last last feature table
was Daniel Legroan, You, Phil Helmuth and Jared Blesnik and it was the
bless Show and it was awesome somehow someway, Daniel Legranney was like the third
wheel and all of that, even though he is Poker's most popular player,
you know, Blez was was ribbing hellmuth a lot. Even Stephen Chidwick got
in there with a couple one lighters, set a couple of words and you
know, it was absolutely hilarious. So that was a lot of fun.
Alie Najade had the call with Jesse Silvia and Chris Vich. So if you
missed that, you know, go find it, go check it out.
It's available on pokerco dot com. This day, too, was also available
on the poker Go YouTube channel. Groan you did end up bagging chips go
Daniel go just over a little bit over one point three million for him,
Michael Msrocky, who's won this event three times, one point three two nine
million for him. I see Phil Ivy bag chips eight hundred and fifteen thousand
for him. Phil Hue is out there, he bagchips. Stephen Chidwick bagchips.
Victor blom Aka is solder, he's out there. Gus Hanson was in
the field, a little bit of a blast from the past there with old
Gus, but he's out there battling. And the shortest stack returning for Day
three looks to be John Mannette. So a lot of big name firepower.
We did lose Phil Helmath in the final level of the night. He busted
in a stud high low pot to both Negron You and John David Rodgers upon
the feature table, But we still got Ivy, we still got Negron YOUU,
we still got Jeremy Osmas, we still got Michael Mcsrocky. So you
know, pretty pretty pretty awesome field. Moving forward to Day three, a
Day three coverage will be streaming on PokerGO dot com, So if you are
a poker gro subscriber, I would highly encourage you to check it out.
If you're not, go to pokerg dot com and pick up a subscription again.
This is the fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship. Moving over to the
WSOP Millionaire Maker, we talked about the ten nine and thirty nine entries that
they got in this event, which was an uptick over last year's field size.
You love to see that. I believe three hundred and nineteen players are
advancing to day three. Among them, Martin Jacobsen is in the field.
Vitally Zavorotnez is leading the way ahead of Sasha Garrin, Steven daf Fine I'm
sorry, I probably butchered that last name as I normally do, and Alessandro
Petioli. They are all the big stacks. Chris Mormon, we all know
Mormon one. He bagged the sixth largest stack in the Millionaire Maker. Jason
Wheeler bagged the top ten stack. I already mentioned Martin Jacobson out there as
well. Still fighting. Moving forward in this event, the payouts. They
did announce the payouts for the Millionaire Maker, so top one thousand, six
hundred and forty one players cashed. Everyone got double their money. Well at
least if you've fired one bullet for fifteen hundred three thousand dollars was the min
cash up top one million, two hundred and fifty one hundred and twenty five
dollars, second place one million, one thousand, one hundred and seventy dollars.
They did it again with the top two spots being seven figures. And
then there's this big gap between second and third. So you got one point
twenty five million, you got a million, so's a that's a gap of
two hundred and fifty k. And then the gap from second to third,
third is six hundred and fifty k, so you have a gap of three
hundred and fifty thousand. So that gap second to third is bigger than the
gap that is first A second a little bit wonky, you know, if
you ask me, I would like to see them just just top it out
at a million of top million, flat one and six zeros following it.
Put two commas in there, let's go, and then go from there,
you know, make it kind of nice and flat throughout, you know,
maybe even bump up some of these these middle portions with that extra money.
So that's what I would like to see, but you know, it is
what it is. And then Tim, I mean Tim and I talked about
this a couple episodes ago. If you're able to get to a clean and
a smooth one point five million, then you can go one point five million,
one million. Then that's when you would you know, increase the first
place prize. But yeah, I mean I just think millionaire Maker. The
name is one millionaire Maker, so that's what I like to see. We'll
keep up with this event, of course, you know, still a very
long way to go. This event was pretty drawn out overall. You know,
it's very player friendly. You get a lot of bang for your buck
for fifteen hundred dollars. So we will continue to track the Millionaire Maker as
it heads on to a winner. Again. More than one point twenty five
million dollars up top over to the Super Seniors one one thousand dollars buying in
this one huge field, as these seniors tournaments always draw massive, massive,
massive fields we talked about. The one thousand dollars. Seniors Championship was down
slightly, I believe if I remember correctly, like down like you know,
one or two hundred entries or something like that. Nothing, nothing crazy,
basically in line with last year. Super Seniors though, was up three three
hundred and sixty two entries this year last year three thy one and twenty one.
So nice uptick there. I believe, I believe that that increase makes
up for the decrease in the Seniors Championship. So walked around that field.
I mean, these these seniors events that they seem awesome, like awesome to
the to the extent that I kind of can't wait to play them. I'm
forty years old, you know, so I have a little bit of a
ways to go when I'm When you're fifty, you can play in the Seniors
Championship, when you're sixty, you can play in the Super Seniors. I
don't know, I just I've always felt like, I think years ago,
I used to feel like, you know, the Seniors Championship is kind of
silly, you know, if I'm being honest and transparent about how I used
to feel. But I've I've very much changed. And I see those players
out there battling, and you know, it's a community within the community.
You know, the poker community is still pretty small, even though to us
being in it it seems so big, but like in the greater scheme of
like the world, it's still a pretty small community overall. But then the
Seniors. You know, that's a smaller community within the community. The Super
Seniors is even smaller. You know, you're just you got less of a
pool overall. But you know, everyone's out there battling, they're having a
lot of fun. I think it's kind of cool that, like, you
know, it's largely just like poker enthusiast hobby players, et cetera, however
you want to call them. At least that's my view of it. But
then you get some really really good players who just happen to meet the age
requirement and they're out there battling, and they tend to do pretty well in
those two tournaments. So so yeah, I mean, I mean they look
fun. They do look fun. So I'm kind of like, weirdly,
you know, looking forward to it. I was talking with a buddy of
mine, Andrew Moreno. He was at the my three k Nolamitate table today
with me, and you know, we were kind of talking like, you
know, yeah, a few more years, you know before we know,
we're gonna be in the seniors and we're gonna be in the Super Seniors and
all that sort of stuff, and you know, it's gonna be kind of
fun. But we're looking forward to playing it. So yeah again. Three
thousand, three hundred and sixty two entries in the Super Seniors, up from
last year's three thy one and twenty one top prize this year three hundred and
fifty eight thousand dollars. Looks like there is a little bit under one thousand
players remaining. Five hundred and five will pay. Bruno FETUSI looked like he
bagged a large stack. Kevin O'Donnell Farzad Banyati, Kevin Song, Sammy Farja.
All of those names are said to advance. David Goodkin leads the way
looking at Goodkin's hended mob. If I have the correct one three previous World
Series of Poker cashes for Goodwin or Goodkin, excuse me, including two cashes
in the Seniors' Championship. So still not in the money for these players,
you know, have a bit of a ways to go, but things are
aligning for Goodkin to get a Super Seniors cash after he has two Seniors' Championship
cashes. As we do here, we'll keep tabs on the Super Seniors as
they go and we'll tell you about the happenings there as they play down to
a three hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars champion day one of the three thousand
dollars No Limit Texas hold them fourteen hundred and forty entries on day one.
Somebody said last year they got seventeen hundred. I'm gonna kind of look that
up on the fly, because when we started this tournament, this tournament has
like such an insane structure, just like just sitting there our levels. You
start with forty thousand chips one hundred, one hundred, like you know,
you're just kind of chilling, and it's it's a really really really good structure
overall. Oh yeah, last year, seventeen hundred and thirty six entry.
Yang Zang defeated Arama Ganyan in heads up play. Alex Linsky got second,
John van Fleet got fourth, Frederick Nomand got Norman got fifth, Alex Dimitrov
six, Channon Shore seventh. I mean, that's a pretty damn stacked final
table if you ask me. But yeah, fourteen hundred and forty entries in
this event this year, you can still register for two levels plus the break.
On a day two we played or they played. I didn't fully play,
but I played nine and a half levels everyone else played ten. But
yeah, you can register till or through twelve levels, so about two fifteen
pm on day two, So we don't have the final numbers here yet,
but you know, we'll keep tabs on on this one. Do you want
to say that I ran a big bluff that I was I was pretty happy
with in the moment, and I then afterwards I started thinking about it,
and I was like, hmmm, you know, because the reason why I
started thinking about afterwards because obviously it didn't work out right. The guy called
the river. Then we got the dinner break, I came back to my
computer, I started looking it up, and I think I pretty much nailed
it, which I'm happy with. You know, it's it's good to It
feels good when you can like put in work and then you can check your
work afterwards and you can say like, okay, I kind of I got
that right. I will say that I think my flop sizing was off,
and I'm a little bit frustrated with that because I mean the general idea was
that, you know, I should be rangebating the flop, and I did,
but I should size up and I didn't. I size down and whatever,
So that could be a slight issue, but other than that, you
know, I'm really happy with it. I raised two sixes from early position,
big blind defended it came ace queen three with two diamonds. I had
the six of diamonds and I barreled off flop turn and river. Uh,
two diamonds on the flop, eight of diamonds on the turn, and five
of clubs I believe on the river and I went bet bet bet bet small
and flop should have sized up though in hindsights, sized up on turn over
bet river and the guy called with ace deuice. So you know, I
really thought that type of hand. You know, if he's got an ace,
it's a weak ace. I do have a six of diamonds, which
blocks some diamond combinations. Not always the biggest thing, but against a big
blind range who can defend, you know, on the wider side of things
matters a little bit more. Ultimately fine with it. You know, I
think I checked it and it seems all right. So so yeah, you
know, you're not just gonna sit back there and you know, just nutpedal
the whole time. I'm gonna try and go after chips. And I was
pretty surprise that this guy ended up calling, but then again a couple hours
later, my buddy Andrew Marino tried a really big bluff against this same player
and he called off with third pair, like bad kicker in a huge spot.
So I mean, and this player that we were playing against, you
know, he picked off a few different bluffs, so I don't know.
He must have just been kind of stationy, which is fine. I also
thought that he was very good and like he probably thought things through correctly.
So yeah, just just really interesting spots overall. Had a chance to essentially
triple up at the end when I got my money in with ten's verses king,
but hit a king and that's all she wrote for me. Thought I
played well throughout the day, had a lot of fun out there battling,
so I'll be back in there soon, I think. I think I'm going
to play the Colossus next and then gear up for the main and let's go.
Canada's Daniel Ganne leads the way in the three thousand dollars No limit hold
them at least that's per wsop dot com. They're gonna get a flurry of
late entries in this one. You know, anyone that busted late at night.
Like me, I'm not reentering, but I'm sure there are plenty of
people that are Probably some people that come in just for their first bullet might
get you know, people that bust out of the Millionaire Maker come over all
that sort of stuff. So fourteen forty on day one would expect that to
increase quite nicely, and then we'll see if it challenges last year's seventeen thirty
six or even surpasses it. You never know. Joe McKeon bagged a big
stack as well in that tournament. So so yeah, lots to come from
the three K nolanan hold Them. Last year's first place prize in that one
was almost seven hundred and eighteen thousand dollars that was won by Yang Zang.
So would expect I don't know, six fifty to seven fifty in that neighborhood
for first place this year. So a very very big payout in the three
K Nolanman Hold Them is coming day one. Of the twenty five hundred dollars
oe Omaha Hi Lo slash Stud Hilo five hundred and seven entries, you got
Chad Eve Sledge, Robert Mzeraki, David Williams, Dario Sammartino, Benny Laser,
Ari Angel, Brandon, Shaq, Harrisho, Hashim David Bach, and
Alan Kessler. Looks like they are all advancing, so pretty stacked field.
There more than a two hundred and twenty two thousand dollars up top for the
winner in this one top seventy seven pay out. Tomorrow we have a six
hundred dollars Poker News Deep Stack Championship. I'm assuming that's going to be massive.
We also have a fifteen hundred dollars no limit deuced to seven single draw.
I still have a soft spot in my heart for this game. I
really do love playing it. I'm not going to get in there this one.
I have played this event before a lot of fun, very very pure
form of poker, and it's just good to get in there and blast off
at at an accessible price point. I'm gonna skip it this year once again.
You know. I'm very much just in the Nolan Holdham streets like tunnel
vision with that. So that's where I'm at. Depending on what my work
schedule is, maybe this six hund dollars Poker News Deep Sax Championship's got my
name name on it, but we'll see how things go. I mean,
that's going to do it for me. Solo pod just ran through the news
as best I could. The big thing, of course, is the fifty
k PPC moving forward to day three, that's going to be top of everyone's
mind again. We are streaming that on Poker gro Day three, Day four
and the final table. So still a ton of stuff to come from the
fifty thousand dollars Poker Players Championship. I do want to thank Nick Wright for
taking a bit over eight minutes of time to talk to me on break Love
here and his passion for the game. And hopefully we can continue to see
Nick Wright, you know, out here blasting. Hopefully he can get his
first of sipy cash and and kind of you know, beyond his way.
That's going to do it for me. My name is Donnie Peters and I
will talk to you guys on the next episode. Jenny Express
