All Right News and Happenings. Event 62 00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:50,839 number five fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice Chad eve Sledge wins one hundred and thirty 63 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,920 one eight hundred and seventy nine dollars. Mister Producy is as nickname you wrote 64 00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:00,759 it here. Look, our friend Matclock told me that he is the best 65 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,759 Matt, Matt Clark. He he has some takes, okay, he think 66 00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:13,399 he comes out of nowhere with these takes. I mean to him, Chad 67 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,120 is the greatest buducy player in the world. I have no idea if he 68 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,759 is or not. I haven't seen enough baducy from Chad to know, but 69 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:23,279 I guess I'll just take Matt's word for it. I think we have to. 70 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,079 And the fact is, at the whole final table I talked to the 71 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:30,519 dealers, that's all he chose. And then in the world he chose a 72 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:32,920 little bit of He mixed in some no limit hold him but otherwise it was 73 00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:36,600 all baduci And um, you know, I touched on it when I actually 74 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,759 spoke to him as well, well that's great. I mean you did speak 75 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:43,000 with him after the win, so let's just throw it to that interview right 76 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000 now. Congratulations. Second WSP bracet Here in the fifteen hundred Dealers Choice, 77 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,279 I want to ask you about, you know, mixed games of versus high 78 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,240 rollers. You've got, you know, the five Diamonds title, you won 79 00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:57,560 the twenty five K last year. What do you prefer mixed games or none 80 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,000 of them? Hold of events? Um, good question. I don't know, 81 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:04,040 They're both different. I like playing mix mixed during the World Series like 82 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,000 tournaments, you don't get to play that many mixed tournaments, you know, 83 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,800 so like that's nice with the World Series, you know, if I had 84 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,319 to play all the time, probably I don't know. No limit tournaments are 85 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,600 kind of tough. Like I mean, these are tough too, but like 86 00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:19,839 you know, you see the high Rollers scene, it's just a bunch of 87 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:25,759 like really good players. You know. It's it's really hard to make money 88 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,160 and like long term against those guys. So I don't know, there's pros 89 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,639 and cons of both. Like No Limit I definitely feel not as good relative 90 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,000 to the field, but you know, those guys are just like unreal. 91 00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:41,399 We share mutual friend. He's here on the Royal macclock. He texted me, 92 00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:43,519 he said, you know, this is the best produci player in the 93 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,560 world. I noticed you were choosing buducy a lot, So is there any 94 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,920 thought behind that? Do you think do you think you out of the world's 95 00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:56,240 best player? I don't know. I mean heads up, probably, but 96 00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:00,879 like it's not really that valuable to mean that, just because like I've played 97 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:06,959 a lot during COVID and recently online and I don't know. I don't I 98 00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:10,399 don't think. You know, Usually when I say that, I'm joking and 99 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,000 it's kind of jumped into reality. But if I had to bet on it, 100 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:18,560 give me three to one, not bet on it. But outside of 101 00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:23,399 that game choice, you know, are you thinking pretty deeply about these about 102 00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:26,000 what you're picking, about what other people are picking, especially on like day 103 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,079 one and day two. Um, a little bit. I try to identify 104 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,720 just like the other people's worst games. Typically I end up calling Baducia a 105 00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:38,120 lot Baducia, nor limit hold him if just because people tend to overfold. 106 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,839 Buduci's a game where you kind of have to just make some counterintuitive calls all 107 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:44,639 the way to the end, and people if they don't, then they light 108 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,879 some money on fire. So that kind of goes well with tournament dynamics too, 109 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,920 because people are afraid to bust and they don't like calling. So I 110 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,199 touched on that you won, you know, the five diamond you won, 111 00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:59,360 that big W B SB bracelet and Lasia to you. What drives you? 112 00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,279 Is it winning bracelets? Is it winning me titles? Or is it you 113 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:07,399 know, the cash? I don't know, Probably just addiction. I don't 114 00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:09,399 know. I just got to do what everybody else does and try and get 115 00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,279 good at it. Um I mean money, I would say, more than 116 00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:18,040 the prestige of being like a good poker player. But I mean, you 117 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,079 know, they're both good motivators. I think one final question here, selfishly 118 00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,720 coming from the PGT side, you know I set up a brilliant mixed game 119 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,720 series that you are not in attendance fall. I want to know why you 120 00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:31,000 didn't come and are you coming too? The next one? I was gonna 121 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,879 come, but the Bahamas just took all the energy out of me. And 122 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,399 I'd say, if it runs again, I'll be like sixty five percent to 123 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,519 show up something in that he don't make any promises. Well, it's a 124 00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:46,919 type of fifth So I hope to see you that. Okay, all right, 125 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,039 sounds good. How was the interview? Because I gave you a mic 126 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,399 that didn't work? You said, yeah, man, like, come on, 127 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,720 you need to pick up your game. As the you know, leader 128 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,919 of this podcast. You did give me something that works. But I'm trying 129 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,559 to be the leader. Well you're not doing a very good job because my 130 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,559 choice is pretty bad. But no, Yes, Chad wins his second WSP 131 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,840 bracelet. He won his first in was it the twenty five k higher allah 132 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:15,720 Yes, yep, and throwing a couple of WPT titles. He's pretty good 133 00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,960 at poker. I think he is very good at poker. He was somebody 134 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,440 heading into the twenty five K Fantasy draft that Matt Clark and I Matt Clark, 135 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:28,960 my teammate, really wanted to target. Unfortunately we couldn't get him. 136 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,080 We were priced out of getting Chat. But he's off to a great start 137 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:37,960 to the twenty twenty three WSP just a few days in, picks up his 138 00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:41,840 second w SP gold bracelet, and I'm expecting we're going to see plenty from 139 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,879 quote unquote mister Baducy as he is now known. Yeah, Chad Baducy, 140 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,200 that's his name. Chad Baducy, that's his name. I'm guessing with the 141 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,200 volume that he's gonna put in, with the ability to play a wide variety 142 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,600 of game, I mean, if you're playing the Dealer's Choice, you can 143 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,600 play everything. We already know he's good at Noleeman hold him. He's one 144 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,159 of brace then he's one WPT titles, etc. So I think Chad's probably 145 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,879 gonna be close to the top of the list for the Player of the Year 146 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,759 race as we moved throughout the summer. So you know, don't be surprised 147 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:20,320 to see mister Eastledge show up at a final table or two going forward, 148 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:24,159 maybe even win another bracelet during the twenty twenty three WSOP. All right, 149 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:30,399 moving on to event number six, this was the five thousand dollars Mixed Noeman 150 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,919 Hold Him a slash plo aka the five K half and half. Michael Montchek 151 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:41,399 wins it all five hundred and thirty four thousand dollars, his second WSOP goal 152 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,080 bracelets. He pretty much dominated at the end. This was a two day 153 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,759 event um, so on day one it was thirty minute levels. On day 154 00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:52,960 two it was forty minute levels. So a little bit of a quicker structure, 155 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,559 which, honestly, I kind of enjoyed more of these. I think 156 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,480 the player and players enjoyed. Yeah, I think you could cram more of 157 00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:03,200 these into the schedule, to be honest, Just crank out some more bracelets, 158 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,200 why not, right? You spoke with the Texas Mike as he's known 159 00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:11,759 afterwards and he said, uh, he's chasing POI. So we just talked 160 00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:16,279 about, you know, Chattive Sledge being in in contention for POI. Michael 161 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,799 Montchick said he wants to win POI, so you know that's gonna be a 162 00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:24,480 fun little race. Michael Montchick also winning his second BASP goal bracelet he won 163 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,279 won last year. He won the fifteen hundred dollar limit hold him. He 164 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,440 also had a fourth place finish in the hundred k high roller YEP for I 165 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,799 think four hundred and twenty thousand. You know, just kind of stormed on 166 00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,279 into the scene out of nowhere. Texas Mike gets known last year, and 167 00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,440 you talked with him this year after his win, and you guys can hear 168 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:48,279 that now. Congratulations Michael second WSP bracelet. First one was pretty much a 169 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,879 year ago. Now, what does it mean to you when you start like 170 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,279 hot at the Wealth Series like this, winning a bracelet means a lot and 171 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,279 helps for the player that you're chase for sure, which I'm going for all 172 00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:01,360 the way now. And yeah, don't even play plo, so it's pretty 173 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,159 lucky. Last year, after you won the fifteen hundred lemen hold him right. 174 00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:07,399 So we started seeing you in some events we didn't expect to say, 175 00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:11,080 you're in some high rollers. Should we expect the same this? Yet? 176 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,879 Absolutely I heard through the rumor mail that you, you know, more of 177 00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:18,879 a cash game player in Chicago. What attracts you to playing tournaments? Is 178 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,840 it the bracelets? Is it the money? What is it? Limited losses? 179 00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:26,039 You can only find once, So that's a big good Yeah, just 180 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,320 big money off top and competitive And yeah, that was Michael montcheck man a 181 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,720 few words. I was just gonna say a man a few words, but 182 00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:39,480 determined. Nonetheless, you know, I like that he's chasing Poy. I 183 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,039 like when anyone is chasing Poy because it means that they're in it for the 184 00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,200 long haul over the course of the summer, likely going to be playing a 185 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,200 variety of games. I mean, you heard Michael Montick there site the fact 186 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,600 that he doesn't really play Ploum didn't think he played bad at the final table. 187 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,879 You know, throughout it this this one was live streamed on pookuro Law 188 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,720 mccaron and Maria Hoe. We're on the call. A bit of a wonky 189 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,360 day, by the way, with all the live streaming that was going on. 190 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:07,200 I mean, it was just you know, it's we're in we're in 191 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,960 mid doubt. Would before the most stressful day we've had so far for me 192 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,879 head lace anyway, Yeah, I mean, for sure, we I guess 193 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,600 just full transparency. We can talk about a little bit. We had come 194 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,639 came into this day. The initial plan was, okay, stream the final 195 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,519 table of the Tournament of Champions. Well they came back with thirty one players 196 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,159 that the thing didn't look like it was gonna end anytime soon. All last 197 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,399 night, all throughout this morning. You know, we're talking throughout throughout the 198 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:35,279 company trying to make a decision. And then the decision basically was that there 199 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,279 was no decision until like one of these It was like a race, Yeah, 200 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,840 it was. It was. It was the Tournament of Champions versus the 201 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,679 half and half, and whichever one got to the finish line first, that's 202 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:46,600 the one we were going to put up on the stream, and then the 203 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:50,279 other one we were likely going to delay till tomorrow and then put that one 204 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,799 up on the stream. So that's what we're gonna do, okay. So, 205 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,960 um, it ends up that the half and half plays a little bit 206 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,679 faster. I just mentioned it had a little bit of a faster structure. 207 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,679 Um, it also has PLO in there. Those guys are certainly willing to 208 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,120 get an in in PLO. Saw a lot of that throughout this tournament. 209 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,759 So that gets down, they go on a one hour dinner break, we 210 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,879 move them up there. The Tournament of Champion ended up bagging, but it 211 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,360 was a whole thing. And you know, normally our live stream final tables, 212 00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:18,639 we try to kick off the action at four o'clock, get the stream 213 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,799 going at five. This what eight fifteen, eight eight o'clock, eight fifteen 214 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,279 the stream started, So yeah, you know it was it was a day. 215 00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:30,679 It was definitely a day. So but you know, things worked out 216 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,279 hopefully. You guys out there who tuned in enjoyed the coverage. It was 217 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,200 a lot of fun to watch. This want a lot of fun to watch 218 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,720 Michael Montak win his second goal bracet and more than half a million dollars, 219 00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:43,519 and then tomorrow we'll get the Tournament of Champions, which they put on pause. 220 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,039 There's down to seven wishm Gashan Hope, I'm saying that name correctly, 221 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,559 forgive me if I am not. He leads the way two hundred thousand dollars 222 00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,960 first place prize. So this tournament was the million dollar free roll that THESP 223 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,840 puts on for gold bracelet winners and circuit ring winner from the time that WSP 224 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000 ended last year up until now, so WSP Europe there was some online bracelets 225 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,679 and then of course they have a slew of WSP circuit events that go on 226 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:16,159 and all those gold ring winners that get in there. That's a pretty fun 227 00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:18,919 tournament overall, you know. I like one thing that I like from this 228 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,440 tournament is that you kind of get to know the people that are winning these 229 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,759 tournaments around the US, around the world. Like that's kind of the fun 230 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,200 part for me, you know, because it's one thing I specifically like is 231 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960 I play a bit on WSP dot com here in Nevada, and then I'm 232 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,480 like, you know, you play with these guys, you whatever, And 233 00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:39,759 then you know, you you look up their real name and you're like, 234 00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:41,120 oh, this is so until that I play with online, or this is 235 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,279 oh he won this tournament, you know that sort of thing. So so 236 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,080 that's fun to see and know who these people are and like actually see them 237 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,360 and be able to put a face to the screen name and that sort of 238 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:54,639 stuff. So I like that part of this. The Final Table, the 239 00:15:54,639 --> 00:16:00,120 Final Seven. They're going to return on Saturday, June third, five pm, 240 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:04,639 Vegas time for the live stream on poker Go. Okay, so that 241 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,399 is tomorrow or today. I don't know what's going on. It's twelve fifteen 242 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,759 am here in Vegas. Tim and I are in the poker Goo Red Light 243 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,919 District. Um, you know, so yeah, I can barely see because 244 00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,600 my allergies are going absolutely absurd. Tim gave me a blood blister earlier. 245 00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:22,360 I mean, it's just well, you shouldn't been trying to mess my own 246 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:33,279 window. It's the ven number seven, fifteen hundred dollar limit hold on five 247 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:37,519 hundred and twenty seven players in this one, seven hundred thousand dollars A little 248 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:40,480 bit over seven hundred thousand dollars in the price spo one hundred and forty six 249 00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:45,960 k for first place. Just over twenty players left, including Scott Esca Nazi 250 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,679 recent WPT winner. What was the thunder Valley that he won? Yeah? 251 00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:55,240 I think Adam Friedman's out there, Bill Klein saw David ODB Baker out there 252 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,600 in the field. Um. This one also will be on will be is 253 00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:02,000 planned to be live streams, so listen, it's gonna be. The plan 254 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,119 is to put it on the PokerGO YouTube channel. Okay, if you guys 255 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,680 tuned in on Thursday, you know we had a whole bunch of technical issues 256 00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:14,559 with the YouTube stream. Remco and I spent probably six hours today with the 257 00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:17,759 team trying to sort through those issues to make sure that we are good to 258 00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:22,039 go for tomorrow. The team is still here working on some of those issues, 259 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:25,720 so hopefully we are good to go for tomorrow on the PokerGO YouTube channel. 260 00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:30,960 Whether or not it works tomorrow, I can't tell you. Tune in 261 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,119 and find out, but just know that we're working our asses off trying to 262 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,519 get these secondary streams up and running from the Horseshoe table. So if all 263 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:44,880 goes well tomorrow, we will be streaming the Tournament of Champions Final seven on 264 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,119 poker Go and then we will be streaming the final table of the fifteen limit 265 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,160 hold them on the poker U YouTube channel. Fingers crossed. Everything works and 266 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,359 we got two streams for you guys going on Saturday. Even number eight. 267 00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:00,640 One of the most fun tournaments every single time that WSP rolls around. That 268 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:07,640 is the twenty five thousand dollars Heads Up Championship down to what sixteen? So 269 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,119 sixty four players in this one, captain sixty four. A lot of people 270 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,839 get locked out. A lot of people did get locked out. I heard 271 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,960 really fun field one of the best matchups early on John Smith vers Phil Ivy 272 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,920 the John Smith Invitational. Of course, at this point John Smith needs to 273 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,680 win though, like he needs to finally breakthrough, right, But he dispatched 274 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,240 of Ivy and then I think he lost in the second round. Yes, 275 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,319 But moving on to day two, sixteen players left, including Anthony Zino, 276 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:41,400 Landon, Tye, Chris Brewer, Doug Polk, Eric Wasterson, Isaac Kempton, 277 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,680 Seawan Winter, Kevin rabbit Chow and Chance Corneth. So Kevin rabbit Chow 278 00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:52,880 finished fourth last year, Seawan Winter and Chance Corneth already made one. Twenty 279 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,680 five gay final table finished in the top three. That was the one that 280 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,119 Alexander Velumier one. The other day he won the twenty five K six Max 281 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,799 high Roller. Chance Corneth finished second, Sean Winter finished third. So those 282 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,359 two are off to quite an impressive start. Why those guys are right in 283 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,279 the mix, Well, they have to cash in this one. So this 284 00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,400 one comes back tomorrow the final sixteen top eight pay so this is essentially the 285 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,759 bubble round. Okay, so these players are playing to get into the money. 286 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,119 What are the payouts in this can you look that up? I know 287 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,440 it's five hundred and seven thousand dollars for first place, and I think they're 288 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:36,319 guaranteed seventy five k or so. Yeah, seventy four thousand dollars for eight. 289 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:38,200 Got it through the fifth, fourth is fourth, and third on one 290 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,079 ninety two and then first as you said, five h seven and second he 291 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,000 is three hundred and thirteen thousand dollars. And I think we'll be streaming this 292 00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:51,839 one as long as everything works out. It should work out. We have 293 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,480 already prepared our statement for the players. I doubt they are listening, but 294 00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:03,640 the plan currently is the final four will re turn on Sunday and they will 295 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,720 play at so two matches tomorrow, take two rounds tomorrow, two rounds rounds 296 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,440 tomorrow, and then final four will come back on Sunday. We are going 297 00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:18,720 to high card the matches to see who takes first stint on the stream. 298 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,720 They're gonna play three levels, so that's one hour. They were going to 299 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,200 rotate with the outer table, bring the other matchup on and do that back 300 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,680 and forth until we have winners in both and then the uh, the two 301 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,920 winners are going to come back play the final and see who can win the 302 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,279 heads up Racelet Oh that's the plan, got it? Um? You guys 303 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,079 heard it there? Start out on Friday. That's today, Well that was 304 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:47,359 yesterday as a twenty minutes ago, fifteen hundred seven cards stud pretty good field 305 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,640 out there. We saw birthday boy Greg Mueller out there in the field. 306 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,720 We saw our guy gunslinger David back out there in the field. Chino Reem 307 00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:56,319 was out there, Daniel mcgrany was out there sitting next to Mike Leah, 308 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,720 Mike Liam making his return first first nine main event trip here to the World 309 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,720 Series since twenty eighteen. UM. So yeah, a pretty fun field out 310 00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:08,960 there in the fifteen HUNDREDLLAR seven card stud and then we finally saw him who 311 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:15,519 Andy McLeod, Andy McLeod, James and your boy Kirk Morrison and my boy 312 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:21,039 at the same time. Unbelievable, unbelievable stuff. Um day one ce of 313 00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:26,759 the Mystery Millions gangbusters, but like just slammed, as they say on the 314 00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:30,160 group chat pod. Um So, I got some numbers here. I want. 315 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,839 I wanted to talk about this because today I am the stabman today. 316 00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:37,359 But this is kind of like stats slash data. Well, no, so 317 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,720 I want to make a thing of this throughout the course of the summer. 318 00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:45,839 So like when we might not know something or we need to correct ourselves, 319 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,400 we can always do it. On the next show, I cited some of 320 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,799 the early numbers in the Mystery Millions. You know, I wasn't exactly right. 321 00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:53,400 I was close enough, but you know whatever, Now now I got 322 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,839 some some actual data here. Um So, last year the Mystery Millions had 323 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:03,119 four flights. Okay, but it's important to point out because because I mentioned 324 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,480 how the final flight last year only had twenty three twenty thirty four, which 325 00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:11,200 was far less than any other flights, which was interesting because usually the last 326 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,839 flight is the biggest. Well that's because it was, first of all, 327 00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:17,079 it was on a Monday. Second of all, it was a turbo flight. 328 00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:18,759 On that Monday, they had two flights. They had the NOMA flight 329 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,039 you know, at eleven or twelve or whatever it was, and then seven 330 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:25,920 pm they had the turbo flight. That's why it was a lot smaller. 331 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,839 Okay, also a little little different scheduling. Last year they started with Day 332 00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:33,359 one A on a Saturday. Normally these multi flight fields, you start like 333 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,759 a Wednesday or Thursday, and then you try and have that final flight on 334 00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:40,440 a Saturday, which is what they're doing this year. Okay, but Day 335 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,519 one A last year thirty five hundred and seventy three entries. Day one A 336 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,680 this year two thousand and twenty three. So if you're just looking at that 337 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,640 in a vacuum, you're probably like, oh, pretty far behind pace. 338 00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:56,839 Right. Day one B last year thirty nine hundred and thirty six. Day 339 00:22:56,839 --> 00:23:00,599 one B this year twenty nine hundred and fifty seven. Also, if you 340 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:02,880 look at that one in a vacuum, or if you look at the two 341 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,960 day ones together, you're like, oh, they're really behind pace. And 342 00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:10,759 you and I have talked about many times how we thought this tournament for sure, 343 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,480 just the fact that they moved it up to the front of the summer, 344 00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:17,640 they added the million dollars first place prize guarantee in addition to the million 345 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,160 dollar top bounty prize, that this one's gonna just smash that record, right, 346 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240 fourteen thousand, and one hundred and twelve entries last year. But if 347 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,400 you're just looking at it initially you're like, oh, maybe they're behind. 348 00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:33,200 Well, yes they are behind, but you have to remember that this year, 349 00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:37,200 Day one d is not a turbo it's its own, normal, standalone 350 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,359 flight and it finishes on a Saturday. So they started this on a Wednesday. 351 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,079 They go Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, which are the perfect 352 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,000 start flights. And then today is when things really started to turn. So 353 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,720 last year Day one see four thousand, two hundred and sixty nine. This 354 00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:55,519 year Day one see five thousand, one hundred and forty seven. So Jesus, 355 00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:59,400 they're already at if as long as these numbers are correct. This year 356 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,240 they are at one hundred twenty seven entries, meaning tomorrow they only need three 357 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:08,920 thousand, nine hundred and eighty five entries in order to tie the fourteen fourteen 358 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,160 thousand one hundred and twelve entries from last year. They've already canceled the deep 359 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,960 stacks for tomorrow. They've said on Twitter that you know, the only thing 360 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,759 that's going to be going on other than the ten K Dealer's Choice that starts 361 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:25,599 a little bit later in the day is this day one d of the Mystery 362 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,319 Millions. So I don't know, I'm expecting what seven thousand, eight thousand 363 00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:33,119 people in this thing. I mean, it's gonna be insane. Eight thousand. 364 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,720 If we can hit over eighteen thousand and fifty four players, you know, 365 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,440 we're gonna set the fifth biggest field in WSP history. So that's I 366 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,039 think. You know, if we think the fourteen thousand is easy, let's 367 00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:47,240 tay you for that. Eight am. Do you remember how I said to 368 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:52,000 you on that media call it they had. Jack Ethel cited the chance of 369 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:56,240 having two million million dollars bounty prizes. They tweeted today that they said they 370 00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:02,759 are drawing live for two million dollars bounty prizes. I don't like it, 371 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,480 disagree with it or not, doesn't matter. Okay, that would be pretty 372 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,960 epic if they have enough money in the prize pool, enough money in the 373 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,519 bounty pool as part of the prize pool to be able to do that. 374 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,039 So I don't know, tomorrow is going to be has to be seven thousand 375 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,680 entries, right at least I have to try and get in tomorrow. I 376 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,920 mean, yeah, you should. You should be registering today. After we 377 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,759 get done with this podcast, you should walk over there because I don't know 378 00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:29,480 why. Oh you have Bravo though. You're good. You're good, Um, 379 00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:32,680 you're very good. So that's gonna be crazy tomorrow. That's gonna be 380 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,119 a lot of what we're talking about at the end of the night, a 381 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,640 lot of what people are talking about online. Um, So if you're coming 382 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,359 to play tomorrow, I guess be prepared. Come early. There's a lot 383 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:48,000 of traffic out there around the city, and I imagine with more people coming 384 00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:52,000 to this location tomorrow, there's going to be even more traffic. So plan 385 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,079 accordingly. I touched on that. That ten thousand dollars Dealers Choice Championship that 386 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,039 starts tomorrow at two o'clock. The Adam Friedman invitation. He's won it three 387 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:04,640 times, Can he do it again? If he does it again, retire 388 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,279 the events and just like make him a gold statue, like you know what's 389 00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:14,480 speaking. While we're on mentioning Jael's Choice. I didn't know this until today, 390 00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,680 but in the fifteen hundred Dealers Choice that added a game for this year, 391 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:22,759 what's that douce to seven rats? Okay, yeah, I thought that 392 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:26,160 was interesting. Is that also on the ten game? Then I'm I'm guessing 393 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,680 it is. That game sounds like it's the right of your Alley. That's 394 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,920 I don't actually like it that much. Really, you don't like it that 395 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,799 much? Yeah? Um. I also wanted to touch on speaking of like 396 00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:41,200 the correction slash notes. Um. We had been mentioning the twenty five K 397 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,920 six Max that Dan Kelly won back in twenty ten had one hundred and ninety 398 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,440 one entries. There was also one in twenty thirteen. Do you know who 399 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,559 won that one? One hundred and seventy five entries? Do you know who 400 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:55,559 won it? Well, I've read his name, c Yes, okay, 401 00:26:55,759 --> 00:27:00,440 Steve sung Um. So this was the third time the Alex Vloomier win. 402 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,359 This year was the third time that twenty five K Nolan hold Him six Max 403 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,480 high Roller was on the Tops schedule. That event needs to be on the 404 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,000 schedule every single year as far as I'm concerned. It is amazing, So 405 00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:14,279 yeah, keep it there. Tomorrow Day one DA the Mystery Millions. Hopefully 406 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,960 Tims in the field. Hopefully if he flops the stray, he does not 407 00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:22,000 fold it. Remember, bounty events play more aggressive, gotta accumulate chips to 408 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,559 get those bounties. Do not be folding straights U ten K Dealer's choice is 409 00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:30,079 going to be fun. Later on we have those two live streams running fingers 410 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,720 Crossed to live. We're definitely having one live, Okay, like we are, 411 00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:37,680 the Tournament of champions will be played. It will be on Poker Go 412 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,960 and then fingers Cross. All the technical issues that were happening with the secondary 413 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,720 live stream are worked out by tomorrow and we are able to bring you that 414 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:49,240 fifteen hundred limit holding final table. You know we touched on the round of 415 00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:52,039 sixteen, the round of sixteen and the round of eight for the twenty five 416 00:27:52,079 --> 00:27:56,519 K Heads of Championship is going to be playing out. So pretty busy, 417 00:27:56,599 --> 00:28:00,680 busy day here across Horseshoe and pair us down on the Las Vegas Strip. 418 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,200 It's a lot of fun if you're in the area, if you're hanging around, 419 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,119 if you're walking around him say hi, give us the password family pot, 420 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,680 We'll hook you up with the podcast hat. Some people are saying that 421 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:15,400 these are the best hats ever produced. I'm very yes, actually like the 422 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,480 hat quite. I think they're incredible. Yeah, they're they're a I actually 423 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,799 are incredible. People really do like them. Um, we did something different 424 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:27,200 with them where there's like no brand. There's the podcast logo, the mic 425 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,759 with the lightning bolts, but there's no like, there's no words, nothing, 426 00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:33,880 So it's something that you can kind of just wear and you don't feel 427 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,200 like you're overly branded like a NASCAR driver. You don't want to do that 428 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,720 sort of stuff. So it's very simple. It's very clean. They're black, 429 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:45,519 they got a white rope on them. I like them. They're slick 430 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:48,880 and they're super comfortable too. So yeah, that's all we got pretty quick 431 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,599 pot. I mean, we don't got to get too much into it. 432 00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:55,039 Sleep. We do have to get some sleep, so I'm always gonna be 433 00:28:55,319 --> 00:28:59,480 nuts. I just god, I just hope. I hope this freaking stream 434 00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:02,559 works. Yeah. I mean, you don't even understand how much this hurts 435 00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:06,240 us that that it hasn't worked out so so far, but hopefully it does 436 00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:07,279 If not, I don't know. Maybe we'll have to fire up our phones 437 00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:11,440 and just live stream on on Instagram a bit ig live. Yeah you know, 438 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:14,000 yeah, why you never know? That's gonna do it for us. 439 00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:17,920 My name is Donny Peters. His name is Tim Duckberr. We'll talk to 440 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,119 you guys later. Get
