1 00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:16,000 Hello everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the Poker Go Podcast. 2 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,800 My name is Donny Peters. I am joined by Tim Duckworth, fresh off 3 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:27,920 the first Poker gro Tour series of the twenty twenty four season. Tim, 4 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:32,399 how do you feel? Are you rested? You did a lot of live 5 00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:39,359 reporting. I'm exhausted. At one point I saw you in the Aria Convention 6 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,039 Center hallway looking like a kind of a homeless person. Well, first of 7 00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:49,240 all, they were my workout clothes because I was just at the gym. 8 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:56,359 So look, it's I'm a little exhausted. We had a stretch of events, 9 00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:00,119 Lost Chance, Championship, kickoff, going to enjoy a little bit of 10 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:07,200 time off. But hey man, PGT never never never ends. It's all 11 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,879 right, love it it ends. There's you know, it ends every year 12 00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:11,560 and then restarts. Yeah, restarts. There's like, no, there's no 13 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,920 time off. It's you know, players have complained directly saying you're not letting 14 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,560 us relax, and I say, you don't have to come. But yet 15 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,200 they're here on time. They're firing our events because they love it just as 16 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,159 much as we do. Yeah, I mean they do. They definitely don't 17 00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:33,920 have to come. I mean they can't they can take time off that we 18 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,439 have to come. We have to be there. I mean the nah, 19 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,640 I don't know about that. I mean, I bet we could push the 20 00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:44,000 envelope a little bit, and okay, I'm not willing to try that. 21 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:49,079 If you are good luck, you know. All right. On today's show, 22 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,879 we're going to talk about the PGT kickoff series that just wrapped up. 23 00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:59,120 We'll also touch on the upcoming Poker Go Cup probably a short and sweet episode. 24 00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:01,280 Every time I say that, we go forever, but you know, 25 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,239 not too much on the dogg It today. I think we'll have more probably 26 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,039 to talk about next week, maybe the next couple episodes as we really get 27 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,039 into not only the you know, the Poker Grow Tour season, but you 28 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,479 know, the Poker year you know as a whole.

But well, he's not pushing me to do it, 35 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,599 so you know, let's be honest. We're revamping the giveaways. We've got 36 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:53,000 something cooking well yeah, but we have this regular yeah, but we're gonna 37 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,080 make it up to these listeners, these loyal listeners.

So okay, put that down on the 40 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,840 notes, and we're doing three giveaways because I've promised them and I've been slacking, 41 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,479 so we need to do three. I don't know what exactly we're gonna 42 00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:14,639 do. We'll find some stuff, maybe some gift cards to the shop, 43 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,439 I don't know, but we'll figure it out.

But we'll play the 57 00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:24,720 little intro to the community Cards and then we'll touch on this segment. Attention, 58 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,720 attention, good morning, good afternoon, and good evenings with the Poker 59 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,079 Radio audience near and far, it is now time for a brand spanking, 60 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,199 spiffy and new shout out to some of our most loyal listeners who likely got 61 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,800 a bit too lucky on the way to the spotlight. You're listening to the 62 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,480 number one poker show in the land, and it's time for a new edition 63 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,959 of the Poker Go podcast Community Cards. All right, the community cards is 64 00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:53,759 who is it? Tim? Who is it? I mean, it's one 65 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,160 of our loyal listeners. Jeffrey Dean Platt is his middle name, Dean. 66 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:00,439 I don't know, just I felt like it just I mean, it kind 67 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:05,759 of fits to be honest, you know. Right well, he came and 68 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,879 donated five thousand dollars during PGT kickoff and then he was like, you know 69 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,319 what, I can't beat these guys. I'm going to go back to the 70 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,160 win. Played the eleven hundred event, five hundred and eighty six entrance. 71 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,839 He finished third, third place, fifty three thousand dollars. That's like what 72 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:27,519 three of his day rates I think combined for his uh, his commentary duties. 73 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,120 So congrats Jeff, third place, that's pretty good. You know, 74 00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:36,240 there's no uh, there's no middle name on his Wikipedia entry. Wow, 75 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,920 weird, weird. Maybe there's only someone you can blame for that one. 76 00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:45,160 I guess maybe he doesn't maybe he doesn't have one. He definitely has one. 77 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:51,600 Jeff was the last American standing in that tournament. Okay, First place 78 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,920 was David air Kiaga. I hope, I hope I said that correctly from 79 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,920 the Philippines. One hundred and four thousand dollars for David, and then second 80 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:06,040 place was Enrique Kevinias from Spain, just under seventy k for him, Jeff 81 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:13,279 is now up to seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars in career live tournament earnings. 82 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,040 The question for you, Tim is will Jeff eclips the million dollar mark 83 00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:25,319 in twenty twenty four. I'm gonna say just under two hundred and forty k 84 00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:29,600 short, that's a one score. That's like one score. But how many 85 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:33,920 events does Jeff really get to play nowadays? Thirty? This is a lot 86 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:38,920 he has to literally he's good, yeah, but he has to like bink 87 00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:43,040 something big, like at the World Series. So yeah, but World Series 88 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,879 one of these like MSPT events that he has here in Los Angles, like 89 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:50,920 one hundred k though, he needs to win two of those. I'm gonna 90 00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:55,439 say, but listen, it can happen. Now. I'm gonna say, 91 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,360 ready for this, the win World Championship twenty twenty five, that's when he 92 00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:04,879 was five. I mean, I'm so far on the under it's not even 93 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,959 possible. He's gonna do it this year, for sure, going to happen 94 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,759 this year. If there was a betting market for this, I would I 95 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,199 would be I would be wagering on it. I'd be waging actual money on 96 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:19,800 Jeff eclipsing the one million dollar mark. All Right, that's it for the 97 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,920 I gonna add something. Okay, it's none on the runnow, but I'm 98 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,680 gonna add something. After PGT kickoff, Jim Collopy and Dylan Lindy, We're 99 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,800 at the bod drinking a lot of drinks and Jim was more drinks than Dylan. 100 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,959 He says he's a loyal uh podcast listening. He says, I listen 101 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,079 to the podcast every time. I didn't believe him because he doesn't even have 102 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,639 Twitter. And I want to mention this because Jeff, me and Dylan were 103 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:57,720 having a very strong discussion about the PGT and as I mentioned, Jim was 104 00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:03,120 a few drinks deep and he's said to me that he wants to fight me. 105 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,279 Right, I want to put it out. I want to put that 106 00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:13,519 out there in community cards because I feel like going, no, I'm not 107 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:20,160 gonna find it. But this is a test to see if A he remembers 108 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,759 that he said he wants to fight me, or and B is he really 109 00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:31,800 a podcast listener or was he just like trolling me during PGT kickoff. So 110 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:35,440 next time I see Jim, I'm not going to bring it up. I'm 111 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,480 going to see if he is listening to this episode and then he goes, 112 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,679 oh, ship, did I actually was I so drunk that I told Tim 113 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,600 I wanted to fight him and then come and apologize. This is a little 114 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:50,919 test. I think he will tell you that he heard this or whatever. 115 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,600 Yep. And I don't think that he's going to apologize, acknowledge, acknowledge 116 00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:00,919 the statement. Maybe that's a better a better friend, acknowledge this thing. 117 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,799 All right, Well, we'll see if that happens, we'll follow up. 118 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,879 But I would believe him that he is a listener. I mean, why 119 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,879 not, right, it's the best poker podcast in the lay of course. 120 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:16,039 All right. PGT Kickoff, the first PGT series of the twenty twenty four 121 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,120 season, is in the books. We did a little bit something different for 122 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:26,279 this series. First of all, there was an emphasis on the five thousand 123 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,759 dollars buy in price. Point four events were five thousand dollars, and then 124 00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,279 the final event was ten thousand dollars. And then the second thing that we 125 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,759 did that was a different for this series is every tournament offered double PGT leaderboard 126 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:46,000 points, so you know, there wasn't a series leaderboard with some sort of 127 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,080 prize at the end of it. But every tournament within this series did offer 128 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,879 double points, which allowed some players, you know, all those players that 129 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,600 finished in the money in these events to get a boosted start to their twenty 130 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,000 twenty four or PGT campaign. We'll hit on some of those players in a 131 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,240 little bit, but you know, right off the top, got to ask 132 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,399 the commissioner himself, you know, what do you think, success, no 133 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:16,360 success? How do you feel about the first ever PGT kickoff series? I 134 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,159 thought it was great. I thought we had a lot of new faces with 135 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,759 the five k price point. Obviously, you know someone we're gonna mention on 136 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,960 the podcast a little later doesn't care that much for five k's that's fine, 137 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,440 but I think it's important in bringing some new blood into the studio, and 138 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,240 that's the goal with these these lower buyings. Regarding the double points, you 139 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:41,360 know, I'm not the hugest fan of gimmicks, but if we're going to 140 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,399 do something like this, I think it can really only work at the top 141 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:48,480 of the season, because you know, if players are going to bring up 142 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,639 variants, et cetera, it gives us enough time to eradicate the double points. 143 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,240 What it does positively for the PGT, it puts some people, gives 144 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,000 some people that head start, that that boost to the season where you know, 145 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,799 like we've heard it directly from David Coleman, I'm gonna have to play 146 00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:07,159 a few more. You know, I'm going to probably play more events than 147 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960 I thought I was going to because I've had this hot start, so you 148 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,399 can give some It gives people, you know, the incentive to play the 149 00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,720 Popular Cup, play the USBO, play all these other events. Because they 150 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,720 had such a good start, They're going to try and you know, capitalize 151 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:26,360 on it. And I think that's kind of important in helping other events grow, 152 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,720 whether you think it's getting people in there that weren't in there or just 153 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,440 you know, just kind of helping the ecosystem a little bit. So all 154 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,519 in all, I loved it. We obviously had that drop off in the 155 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,720 fourth event, mainly due to the Sunday, but otherwise the four other events 156 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,039 kind of better than I ever expected it could have been. And let's not 157 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,879 forget well, God is running a big series, Seminals running a big series. 158 00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,559 There's lots of stuff going on, and you know the fact that we 159 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:01,120 could still have such a great turnout is you know a great sign of support 160 00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:03,679 for the PGT for the twenty twenty four season. Yeah, a lot of 161 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,759 a lot of kind of new faces, you know, as you hit on 162 00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:09,519 you know, we're in the studio for these events, which was you know, 163 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,240 a big you know goal of this or one of the goals of this 164 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,919 series. You know, get some new people in there, some fresh blood. 165 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,279 Maybe they get a taste of playing inside the studio, maybe they have 166 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,039 some success, get some points, you know, cash for something, and 167 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:26,639 then they you know, hopefully parlay that into you know, something in the 168 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,759 Poker Goro Cup and then you know, next thing, you know, we've 169 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:35,159 attracted some more players into the PGT ecosystem in general. As for the events 170 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,000 themselves, five events and four winners, because somebody that you mentioned, David 171 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:46,679 Coleman won two of the five events. So David Coleman won the first event 172 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,600 for one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Dylan Wiseman won the second event for 173 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,919 one hundred and twenty one thousand dollars. Dylan Wiseman getting his first no Limit 174 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,360 Hold Them tournament victory in the live realm. He had three prior tournament victories, 175 00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:03,039 but not in Nolaman Hold Him. I think it was PLO and then 176 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720 a couple of mixed games, or maybe two PLO and one mixed game, 177 00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,480 but yeah, no, Nolaman hold him until even number two. Justin Young 178 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,360 won Event number three for one hundred and five almost one hundred and six thousand 179 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,679 dollars. Wild finish to that one. You guys can check the highlights over 180 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:24,240 on the poker gro YouTube channel, but the final hand was a banger three 181 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,879 way all in a lot of fun there. David Coleman runs it back in 182 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,720 event number four, winning that one for just under seventy four thousand dollars, 183 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:37,720 and then in event number five, surprisingly, David Coleman, you know, 184 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,360 did not win this one, but Kristin Foxen did. Kristin Foxen comes on 185 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,440 top. She defeated She defeated Daniel LeGrande and heads up play Okay. She 186 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,360 also topped her husband, Alex Foxen, who was at the table. She 187 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:54,399 actually knocked him out. She delivered a bad beat her queen's his aces queen 188 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,240 on the flop. See you later, Alex, you're sleeping on the couch. 189 00:13:56,519 --> 00:14:00,799 You are not the top dog. I think she be on the couch, 190 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,919 wouldn't you? She deliver at the bad bait shouldn't she be on the 191 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,120 couch. No, Alex needs to be good enough to for his aces to 192 00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:11,720 hold up. That's how this needs to work out, you know. And 193 00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:16,519 yeah, but his chips went to a good spot, went to Kristin. 194 00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:20,519 She was able to be an aggressive chip leader for much of the final table 195 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:26,360 and ultimately sealed the deal after a rather lengthy heads up a battle with Daniel 196 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,440 McGrane and you know, they went back and forth for quite a bit, 197 00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:35,360 but ultimately Christin got the better of Daniel Legrand. There. All those final 198 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,440 tables are available to watch on rerun over on the Poker Go YouTube channel. 199 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,919 They're also on Poker Go, so if you missed any of that action, 200 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,879 you can tune in and watch you know, the the reruns or whatever whatever 201 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:52,799 you want to call of those they are available on demand. So the three 202 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,480 at least for me and you can you can jump in with anything. But 203 00:14:56,679 --> 00:15:01,000 I got three headlining things that came out of the Kickoffs series. Number one 204 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:03,720 and we'll touch on these individuals, but number one it was the David Coleman 205 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:09,000 Show. Number two, Kristin Foxton showed out and number three Nigron News Hot 206 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,679 Start to twenty twenty four continues. Now when it comes to David Coleman, 207 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,159 I mentioned the two victories. He was at every single final table for the 208 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,120 first four events. He won E at number one, he won E at 209 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,399 number four. He racked up almost three hundred thousand dollars in prize money. 210 00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:31,200 With the double points, he has five hundred and ninety PGT leaderboard points. 211 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,279 That's quite the start to the season. So two wins, four cashes, 212 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:41,080 almost three hundred kN winnings, five hundred and ninety leaderboard points. If things 213 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,960 play out over the twenty twenty four PGT season as they did last year, 214 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,320 the cutoff is what twelve hundred again, I would probably say slightly low of 215 00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:56,399 this year, Okay, I like it los so Oney to eleven hundred, 216 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:02,639 let's call it. Coleman's more than half way there. It's been one series, 217 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,320 you know, so and as he mentioned, you know you touched on 218 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,879 it, him probably going to play or higher volume now that he's gotten this 219 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,720 start. He did talk about at one point that he was probably going to 220 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,960 be playing stuff like the PGTPLO series. You know, he does play PLO, 221 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,360 you know, said it's not his best game. That's no little bit 222 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:26,639 hold him, but he feels good enough in it that he'll he'll dabble in 223 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:29,080 at least some of those events, you know, trying to get points to 224 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,919 ultimately do the best that he can on this leader board. So can I 225 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,120 give you a stat a David Coleman's stat. Go ahead, you're the stat 226 00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:40,679 maans. So would you say five hundred and ninety points he has? Yes? 227 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:47,279 Right? It took until event twenty seven of the PGT twenty twenty three 228 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,000 season until someone eclipsed that six hundred point mark and he's done at in four 229 00:16:52,080 --> 00:17:00,080 events. So while without that a hot stop, yeah for sure. I 230 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,119 mean, of course the double point aspect helps, but even without that, 231 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,400 you know, he'd have what two hundred and ninety five points, so he'd 232 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,119 have you know, he'd be a quarter of the way there. Right, 233 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:15,279 So David Coleman, I mean, listen, I don't want to say I 234 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,359 called it, but I called it. He was my front runner for PGT 235 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:22,440 Breakout Player of the Year. I mean, I mean, I listen, 236 00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:25,440 I still I still got it, right, I still got it. For 237 00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:30,440 those of you who who don't know about David Coleman, just quickly, you 238 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,279 know, I'll run through some stuff on him. I mean, he's thirty 239 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,880 thirty years old. He's out of Livingston, New Jersey, but he now 240 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:41,119 resides here in Las Vegas. I think he's renting the house, which also 241 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,799 helps with the whole you know, playing a higher volume on the PGT because 242 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:48,480 the majority of our events are here in Las Vegas. So if he's now 243 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:52,759 living here, you know, he's certainly going to be able to fire a 244 00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:55,440 lot more. He's a professional poker player now, but he did go to 245 00:17:55,519 --> 00:18:00,359 college. He graduated from Rutgers University with a finance degree. He's the former 246 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,279 number one ranked online player in New Jersey, and he won the largest online 247 00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:10,519 event ever held in New Jersey at least to date. He topped the field 248 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:15,240 of eight hundred and sixty eight entries and won fifty six thousand dollars in what 249 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:21,960 was the WPT Online Poker Open. Coleman does cite poker as an enormous part 250 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,839 of his life, but likes to maintain quality balance, you know, with 251 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,200 all things. He's got a love for sports. He likes spending time with 252 00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:32,720 his three brothers. When it comes to sports, plays basketball, soccer, 253 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:37,000 and volleyball. Believe he also you know, did some cross country or some 254 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,039 track while he was in school. So yeah, and then he leans a 255 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:44,000 lot, you know, for his poker play, a lot on his you 256 00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:47,359 know, obviously with the finance degree, you would guess that he's got kind 257 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,200 of a data driven and analytical background. He leans a lot on that as 258 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:56,240 it comes to his poker play. You know, he's analyzed, you know, 259 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,599 large amounts of data within his game to identify a lot of flaws that 260 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,720 coming from his experience in the online world. You know, he does kind 261 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,359 of lean to, I guess prefer online just because of the volume that you 262 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,960 can get in which is certainly understandable. Also the convenience factor there, but 263 00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:17,559 then that in turn allows you to get many more data points, you know, 264 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,880 many more data sets that you can review about your own play plug some 265 00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,079 leaks, get better, improve, all that sort of stuff. And you 266 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,599 know, of course you gotta run hot. He ran hot at times plenty 267 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:32,559 of times during the PGT kickoff series. So we'll see how much more that 268 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,799 plays out for the rest of the twenty twenty four PGT season. But as 269 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,839 of right now, David Coleman on top of the twenty twenty four PGT leaderboard 270 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:48,240 with five hundred and ninety points my second headlining thing. Kristin Foxen showed out. 271 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:52,319 Not only did she win that event number five, which was the ten 272 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,920 thousand dollars by an event, she took home one hundred and sixty five k 273 00:19:55,599 --> 00:20:00,519 for topping Daniel Legrandu in the final heads up match of that event, but 274 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,359 she also took third in event number three, that was the one that was 275 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,680 won by Justin Young. That was the one that resulted in the three way 276 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:11,440 all in at the end of it. So you know, she did extremely 277 00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:17,680 well. Four hundred and twenty nine points for her from the two cashes that 278 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:22,119 she had at the PGT kickoff series, almost two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars 279 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,640 in winnings. And guess what, Tim, guess what what? I picked 280 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,279 three people to break out on the PGT. Coleman was one, Kristin Foxen 281 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,160 was another. You picked Foxen. I did pick Foxy. I played the 282 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,039 Tavid Coleman, I listened to the tape before the podcast. I picked Kristin 283 00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:41,039 fox and David Coleman and Eric Baldwin. You picked Jeremy Becker and Mark Aoli 284 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,240 marc On he played one event. I'm quite upset at him. Well, 285 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,839 that's your wrong. You got to do your research, man, Gotta do 286 00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:52,799 your research, all right. Moving on from Kristin Foxen, who listen, 287 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,400 she's she was fun to watch before I move on, because she plays a 288 00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:03,119 very aggressive style of so when you get her with the big stack in these 289 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,960 tournaments, it's fun to watch. When you get her at a final table 290 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,400 with a big stack, it's certainly fun to watch. At that event, 291 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,039 number five final tables, As I mentioned, it was both her and Alex 292 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,480 Foxen, we're at the final table. Both you know, were very entertaining, 293 00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:22,200 very creative with their plays. I thought Kristen played, you know, 294 00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,480 pretty lights out throughout the entire final table, and of course you know she 295 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:29,640 then goes on to win. So yeah, if you get a chance to 296 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,200 watch Kristen fox and play, she's extremely good, very entertaining. Anyone who's 297 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,960 aggressive is a lot of fun to watch, and she certainly falls within that 298 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,839 category. All right. The person she beat in that final event Daniel Legran 299 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:48,440 new hot Start for twenty twenty four. Now it is his hot start wasn't 300 00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:52,279 fully in the twenty twenty four PGT season. Some of it was in the 301 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,440 end of the twenty twenty three PGT season, which happened to fall in twenty 302 00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:00,160 twenty four. He won the first event of the pg Last Chance Series, 303 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,440 that was the final series of the last season. He won event number one, 304 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,920 and then he played one more event during that series he didn't cash. 305 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,160 He played the PGT Championship, didn't cash in that one, and then he 306 00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:18,680 came second in event number five of this PGT kickoff series. So he's played 307 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,200 three tournaments in twenty twenty four that have required a buy in. The PGT 308 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,559 Championship, of course, is that million dollar free roll. So if we 309 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,720 omit that one, he's two for three in terms of cashes. And not 310 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,079 only are they cashes. You know, last year he had a lot of 311 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,200 cashes on the PGT. He had won twenty four to twenty five cashes. 312 00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:42,119 This time it's a first and a second. This year, you know, 313 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,680 he had a lot of cashes overall. If you watched that video that he 314 00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,880 put out reviewing his twenty twenty three stats, he had, you know, 315 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,480 a good amount of cashes last year, but nothing was big every like the 316 00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:56,559 biggest one was like one hundred and twenty k. I think, and I 317 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,960 believe if I remember correctly that only like three or four member for six figures. 318 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,319 So that's not going to do it for negran New when he's playing, 319 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,200 you know, the buy ins that he's playing. You know, he plays 320 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,160 a three hundred thousand dollars super high rollable, he plays all the hunter k's, 321 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,200 the fifty K, he plays the two fifty k at the World Series 322 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,960 of Poker. So like all that's going to add up to, you know, 323 00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:18,480 millions and millions of dollars in buy ins. So if you're not having 324 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,319 at least one, if not two, seven figure scores, it's probably going 325 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,480 to be very hard for you to come out in the black. And Negron 326 00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:32,599 you didn't, you know, we've mentioned it many times, but lost two 327 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,440 point two to two point three million last year. But already this year, 328 00:23:34,759 --> 00:23:40,559 already in twenty twenty four, he's gone with quality over quantity, only playing 329 00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:44,559 when he feels good about it. He has a first place and a second 330 00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:48,640 place finish. He's won three hundred and twenty three thousand dollars in uprizing. 331 00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:56,039 Tim would say you about Negrowney's hot start, quality of a quantity. He's 332 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,519 preaching it, he's following through with it, and it's it's coming true. 333 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:04,000 Like he's had two from three. He is incredible start to his year in 334 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,480 poker twenty twenty four, and you know he's already said to us, Hey, 335 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,480 I'm not going to play these five k's. He said it on the 336 00:24:10,519 --> 00:24:14,839 stream to Chrissy. Uh. I think he's just going to be more selective 337 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,359 with these events, even during the World Series, and I think everything's pointing 338 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,039 upwards for a big year for n Grunner. Yeah, and with the way 339 00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:27,720 that he's been preaching it, as you said, and also coming through with 340 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:33,160 with with some of these these statements that he's put out there and you know, 341 00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:37,440 talking about how he's only going to be feeling playing when he's feeling good, 342 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,880 et cetera. I think he needs to bring back dream declared deliver. 343 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,519 I mean right, I mean, yeah, he's dreaming, he's declaring it, 344 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,119 and he's he's so far he's delivered. So yes, we need to 345 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,119 bring it back. Hashtag dream to declared deliver Daniel. Let's go. You 346 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,519 need to start bringing that back. Put it on the timeline. The people 347 00:24:55,599 --> 00:25:00,480 got to believe. We believe, so yeah, let's go. As things 348 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,720 shake out. For the PGT leader board, David Coleman's number one as mentioned, 349 00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:08,599 five hundred and ninety points, Kristin fox In number two, four hundred 350 00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:11,200 and twenty nine points. Shout out to me for picking them. As you 351 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:18,160 know PGT breakout players for this fourth season of the PGT Dylan Wiseman's third two 352 00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:22,640 sixty five, a Ramzobian fourth two fifty sixth. Then we have Justin Young 353 00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:25,480 dan On LeGrande, Jeremy Becker. Shout out to you, yea, that 354 00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:29,079 was one of your players. He's seventh. He had some final table runs 355 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,640 two I believe two final table runs or maybe two cashes, but definitely one 356 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,599 final table run during this kickoff series. One hundred and seventy five points for 357 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,839 Becker. He's in seventh place. Then we have eighth places, Victor Ustamov 358 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:48,440 ninth place, Samuel Alaskawitz in tenth place, Sergei Kizlinski. So a lot 359 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:52,200 of different names within that top ten that you know you might not see just 360 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:56,000 outside the top ten. You got Steven Chidwick in eleventh, you have Jeremy 361 00:25:56,039 --> 00:26:00,119 Osmyth in twelfth place. You got Alex Foxen in fifteenth place. You know 362 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,519 those are more of like the the regular names that you see on the you 363 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:07,359 know, on the PGT. Of course, it's very early in the season. 364 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,480 Get a lot of volume to go. Sean Winters down there in twenty 365 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:15,319 six, justin bonhom of twenty seven, so we'll see how things shake out. 366 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,279 And it's going to all start, of course, with the Poker Gro 367 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,200 Cup that's coming up in just over a week's time. We're taping this on 368 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,519 Wednesday, January seventeenth. The next Thursday, January twenty fifth, is when 369 00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:34,119 the series officially gets underway. It's the fourth edition of the poker Gro Cup. 370 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,640 Previous winners include Daniel Legrandew, Jeremy Osmas, and Carrie Katz. This 371 00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:45,000 time around, we are doing some things I guess a little bit differently, 372 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,880 or at least one thing a little bit differently. I would say three things 373 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:56,160 differently, three things differently. Five thousand dollars opener this time. Normally the 374 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,359 opener's ten K. This time we're going five K. We are also doing 375 00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,759 the championship event is a twenty five thousand dollars buying. You know, in 376 00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:06,480 the past, I believe that it's been fifty K. Now it's twenty five 377 00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:10,799 K. And then the championship bonus this time around is twenty five thousand dollars 378 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,519 for the series leader board winner. I mean, Tim, you're the commissioner, 379 00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,039 why don't you just talk about you know, the cup, what's what's 380 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,440 coming up, what people can expect, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, 381 00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:26,079 obviously you touched on the five K opening event. Then we're using this 382 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,759 to hopefully, hey, let's leuis some you know, more new blood in 383 00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:36,079 and a more affordable price point for some people to open the event. We're 384 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,759 also on the back end, you know, we dropped that from fifty to 385 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,240 twenty five. Actually, the first Prog Cup was one hundred K main event, 386 00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:45,240 so it's gone hundred and fifty to fifty and now twenty five. We 387 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:52,160 just think that the twenty five k price point is is this better for the 388 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,559 majority of our play a pool. So what I mean is that we had 389 00:27:56,559 --> 00:28:00,680 a lot of players playing the tens, some would take a shot in the 390 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,599 twenty five and then be just gone for the fifty. Well, now they 391 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,799 can really compete in every event, and the points race, I think is 392 00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:12,279 going to be significantly more dramatic. It's going to involve more players that are 393 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:17,799 playing potentially everybody that's playing the twenty five K, so I think that's a 394 00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:22,400 good thing for the leaderboard race. Regarding the Pocago Cup, you know, 395 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,319 we're going to be fresh off Borgarda wrapping up, fresh off Seminal wrapping up, 396 00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:30,519 so hopefully all our players are back, they're ready to fire, they're 397 00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:33,519 ready to win some money. And who knows, maybe Borgarda and Seminal crowns 398 00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:37,119 some new one hundred thousand airs, some millionaires. I don't know if they 399 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,200 have anything that big, but we get some new a little bit of a 400 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:45,519 trickle off from that, maybe we get Bin Waning coming and playing everything and 401 00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:49,119 being crowned the Pocago Cup champion. Who knows. So looking forward to it. 402 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,519 We've you know, obviously shifted it a little later in the in the 403 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,720 month, and anomally is this normally opens as a year, so we'll see 404 00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:00,480 how that goes. And I'm kind of looking forward to it, looking forward 405 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:04,079 to, you know, kicking this We're already kicked off this season, you 406 00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:07,640 know with PGT kickoff, and now we're just going to jump into the bigger 407 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,440 buying stuff. And I'm looking forward to seeing how this leaderboard shapes up, 408 00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:17,039 seeing how you know, what David Coleman does, what what Chrissy Foxon does? 409 00:29:17,119 --> 00:29:19,240 Do we see some of these new faces like that Victor Eusta, Marvin 410 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:25,519 Sergei, Nikita, you know, are they gonna they add new you know? 411 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:26,799 Are they part of the play pool. They're going to be in every 412 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,480 event. So looking forward to seeing how it all shapes out. I'm really 413 00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:34,279 interested to see what that five thousand dollars opener draws just in terms of a 414 00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:40,720 field size. I mean, there is a bit more brand power behind the 415 00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:44,240 Poker Girl Cup than there is with you know, a PGT kickoff series or 416 00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:48,519 PGT sprint something like that. I mean, this Poker Girl Cup is one 417 00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:49,440 of our majors. You know. We got the Poker Girl Cup, we 418 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,799 got the US Proke Rope, and we have Poker Masters, So those are 419 00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:59,079 our biggest series of the year, you know, and that's really how we 420 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,000 position them. So I think a lot of people are looking forward to Poker 421 00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:07,640 gro Cup in general. They're gonna be coming off the heels of Lucky Hearts 422 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,319 down in Florida. You know, whatever's going on up at Borgata, what's 423 00:30:11,359 --> 00:30:14,640 at the Winter Poker Open as well. So I don't know, maybe we 424 00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:18,880 get a couple of people that have some scores there that dabble in. You 425 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,440 know. It was I think last year was it Samuel Laskowitz, I believe, 426 00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:26,440 or maybe it was two years ago where he had a big score at 427 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:32,599 Borgotta, also had a final table at the Divasippy Colossus, you know, 428 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,960 but now he's kind of a mainstay in a lot of ways on the PGT. 429 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,559 So do we get someone that takes their shot that way? So we'll 430 00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:44,640 see how things go. But yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm 431 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,920 curious with these satellites as well. Draw In the three days leading into Poker 432 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,680 Girl Cup on January twenty second, twenty third, twenty fourth, we have 433 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:56,799 three satellites running first two days on the twenty second and twenty third, there's 434 00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:00,559 an eleven hundred dollars each day that'll award what one out of ten into one 435 00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:03,200 of the ten k events. And then on the twenty fourth, we have 436 00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:08,119 a five hundred and sixty dollars satellite which will award seats one out of ten 437 00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:12,759 into the opening five thousand dollars events. I think I'm gonna have to try 438 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:17,000 and fire in that satellite. Oh yeah, honestly, I thought about just 439 00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:21,039 playing the five K. To be honest, I just don't. I don't 440 00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:23,599 know, We'll see. I mean, I don't know if I'm ready mentally 441 00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:29,640 for that, so I'll probably skip it. But I would like this year 442 00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:33,720 to play one of these five K events. So if we do a similar 443 00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:36,319 sort of thing for USPO, if we do a similar sort of thing for 444 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,240 program masters, you know, maybe I'll look at that, right, Yeah, 445 00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:41,319 you know, I think it would be It'd be a lot of fun. 446 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,640 It's always fun to play inside the studio. It's always fun to test 447 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,960 yourself. I mean, at least from where I sit as a player, 448 00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:56,400 I would feel fine taking a shot in one of those events. I think 449 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,599 the ten thousand dollars buy ins, like, if I were to try and 450 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,559 take a shot in that, that might be a little bit too much of 451 00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:05,920 a step up in competition for what I'd be willing to do, at least 452 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,119 at this stage, right, But I think you can get some players that 453 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,480 are kind of more closely aligned with my level in the five ks, you 454 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:17,880 get some satellite winners, et cetera. So so yeah, that's what I 455 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,880 would go for. But I think this this January twenty fourth satellite seems like 456 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,160 a good one. I mean, why not, right, take a five 457 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,000 hundred dollars shot, five hundred and sixty dollars shot, get on in there, 458 00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:30,240 maybe parlay it, maybe you run it up. Whatever, let's go. 459 00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:34,640 So next, maybe go on to David Coleman esque run. Maybe I 460 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,039 can go on and I will tell you this. If I were to play 461 00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:40,640 the satellite and I win a seat and then I win the first event, 462 00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:45,920 I might just yolo the whole series. Whole series. I mean, why 463 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,240 not, right? Why how are you gonna going to David Coleman run if 464 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,000 you don't give yourself the maximum opportunity? That is a good point, right, 465 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,319 you know, so let's go. That's a of course, that's a 466 00:32:58,839 --> 00:33:00,440 pipe dream. But yeah, you know, who knows. Well, we'll 467 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:06,640 start with the satellite, go from there. All final tables from Poker Go 468 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,720 Cup are going to be live streamed on poker Go. January twenty six is 469 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:15,000 when they start. Those carry through to February third will be that final event. 470 00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:19,200 What one day off in there? That Sunday in there, Yeah, 471 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,960 taking Sundays off for football. That'll be Championship weekend. I think so, 472 00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:28,359 so, Yeah, I don't know, do you have anything else to talk 473 00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:31,759 about, because I don't. No ready, I'm ready for bok A Cup, 474 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,759 are you though? Because you said you we kicked off the episode by 475 00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:38,680 saying that you were extremely tired. I just want to make sure that you're 476 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:44,759 ready, because you know, we only did five six days of reporting and 477 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,880 you're already talking about you're being tired. Okay, let's okay. Well, 478 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,480 no, we need five days of reporting on the back of two days of 479 00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:53,079 championship, on the back of six days. I know, I know, 480 00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:57,039 I know, I get it. I'm just giving you some crap. Man. 481 00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:00,440 Come on, I'm really curious, you know, to kind of see 482 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,440 what comes out of I know this isn't PGT related, but what comes out 483 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,199 of Seminole for Lucky Hearts, What's what comes out of Borgata for that winter 484 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,039 pokeer open. I did see one of our PGT regulars, Rehn Lynn, 485 00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,840 ripped off a twenty five K bounty in the in their Mystery Bound. Yeah, 486 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,760 to be honest, I was surprised it wasn't the five hundred, which 487 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,280 is the biggest bounty prize. But uh, I think next week we'll do 488 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:30,840 an episode before Poker Girl Cup starts. We'll do some We'll do some predictions 489 00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:32,320 on you know, how we think Poker Go Cup is gonna play out, 490 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,480 maybe pick some players do That's that sort of stuff, and then we'll also 491 00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:39,440 hit on, you know, the stuff that's happening down in Florida, the 492 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:45,119 stuff that's happening on the East coast or the northeast up in Borgata. So 493 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,159 yeah, it's kind of a I mean, it's it's January comes hard for 494 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,840 poker. Yeah, you know again, two three weeks off whatever it is 495 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,079 for the holidays, and then boom, everyone's you know, right back into 496 00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:02,719 it. So yeah, I mean it's it's pretty crazy. I'm assuming plenty 497 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:09,360 of the PGT players will be at either, if not both, Florida and 498 00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:13,920 Borgoda stops, right. I mean, I know a lot of them are 499 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,159 traveling down there, So I've seen a lot of Bogada that I didn't expect 500 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:21,920 to go to Bogada. So I'm looking at you go, don't you go 501 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,559 to Seminole first and then up to Borgata? Yeah, But like I've like 502 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,039 I'm saying, play as well, do you want to go to Borgoda? 503 00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:30,760 First of all, Atlantic City is trash. Second of all, the weather 504 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:31,840 sucks, right, now, so, like I mean, not that the 505 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,320 weather is good ever, the weather is really not good. Ever, it's 506 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,440 Atlantic City, and I can say that because I'm from the Northeast. I 507 00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:40,159 mean, like during the summer, you get what seventy five to eighty, 508 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:46,079 Like okay, cool, but it's Florida. Yeah, that's what I'm surprised. 509 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,440 Like even the guys that kick off talking, Yeah, I'm flying a 510 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,360 Bogada on Wednesday, and like a lot of people were choosing that over the 511 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,480 early events of Seminole. So must just be a value thing. Yeah, 512 00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:01,639 I mean those a lot of those people that come out for those Borgata events 513 00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:06,679 are you know, I would guess that the pros view them is quite valuable. 514 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,519 But honestly, you know, I probably think the same for some of 515 00:36:08,559 --> 00:36:13,199 those opening events for the Florida tournaments, right, I mean, they get 516 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,280 thousands of people in these fields. Yeah. I think we also hurt the 517 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,280 Seminal on Bolgada feels because a lot of there are some players that are saying, 518 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,880 I'm not even gonna go to either. There's so much you know, 519 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,400 we've just played two weeks of poker here, we have a week off and 520 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,000 then we have another two weeks of poker. So you know, there's some 521 00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:35,159 people just gonna use this week off to actually take a week off. So 522 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,039 come on, no one actually takes a week off. Let's that's what they 523 00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:40,800 say. Doesn't mean they're gonna follow what they say. They're gonna be on 524 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,039 a plane tomorrow. Okay, Like it's not happening. No one takes a 525 00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:49,079 week off. The only people that actually might take a week off are like, 526 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,239 well, daniel Leigranu quality over quantity, and like Jeremy Osmas because he 527 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,360 has a family and kids and kids are back in school now, so like 528 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,199 you gotta deal with all that sort of stuff. But like the poker players, 529 00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:05,639 like if Jesse Lonis told me he was taking a week off, I'd 530 00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:07,880 be like, you're lying to me. I mean, although Jesse Loans does 531 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:12,360 have kids, so who knows. I played basketball with Jesse Lenis yesterday. 532 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,400 I saw that he looks like he's got game. He's very good. I 533 00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:19,239 was like, dang, he's like like the video that you put on your 534 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,960 social media was basically just him dribbling the ball up of the court and then 535 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,360 took a shot. His form looks like it needs a little work on the 536 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:30,079 shot okay, but it was still it was still much better than you would 537 00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:32,079 guess from a poker player. Yeah, he was, he was, but 538 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,360 he's dribbling. I was like, he looks like he's been playing his whole 539 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,159 life. I mean he probably has, but yeah, but he looked very 540 00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:43,599 good, you know. So so yeah, was then was there anyone else 541 00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:45,719 that was good and or bad? Do you want to pay people on blast? 542 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:52,320 Well, your basketball game you used to be like good, very rusty, 543 00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:53,880 very rusty, but you got to get in on it. I just 544 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,440 wanted to get the run round and it was it was me, Jesse, 545 00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:04,800 Lonas Adams, Ralph Wong, and then it was a couple. You know, 546 00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:07,280 it seems like a lot of cash game guys. I didn't really know. 547 00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:10,119 But it was fun. It was It was good to dust off the 548 00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:15,400 old basketball shoes. I've kind of retired those for soccer cleats. But it 549 00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:19,920 was good to get out. I did not shoot at all. I think 550 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,719 I took two shots. I was just kind of passing and trying to get 551 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,639 into the groove of things. But it was fun. A good bunch of 552 00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:32,039 blokes to shoot some on the teams I was playing with. We had one 553 00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:37,159 game where I was trying to assist Adam Hendrix and he kept just bricking. 554 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,280 He just was like missing the next game, same stuff. But he was 555 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,000 hitting everything, so that was good. And then Aram Zobian's brother, I 556 00:38:46,039 --> 00:38:52,920 think his name's Garan. I'm not sure. He shot a lot and did 557 00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:57,840 not make that many. I would have thought you would have said, Jesse 558 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,119 Lona's shot a lot simply because I'm only drawing off one ten second video that 559 00:39:01,199 --> 00:39:04,760 I saw of yours. He literally dribbled up the court and took a three. 560 00:39:05,039 --> 00:39:07,280 Yeah. Oh he's gonna be one of those players. He's just gonna 561 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,880 take all the show. He was very good. He he did shoot a 562 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,199 lot, but he also got he got into the key a lot for some 563 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,800 layups. But he only played. We played like three hours for forever. 564 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,760 He played like two games and had to leave. So uh, can't really 565 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:29,519 give my full judgment, but yeah, Jesse was very very good. Okay, 566 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,760 so if you're then I played soccer last night, and soccer not a 567 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,639 poker player. It's just just the Vegas group. But like, my legs 568 00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:43,800 are completely dead today. Like I'm just I don't worry. Man, I'm 569 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,599 so old, I can't handle it anymore. None of us can. We're 570 00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:52,559 all too old and washed up. All right, Well that's gonna do it 571 00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:54,719 for us. His name is Tim Duckworth. My name is Donny Pears. 572 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,920 We will talk to you guys in just about a week's time as we preview 573 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,280 Poker Go Cop and hit on some of the other happenings around the poker world. 574 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,320 Until then, have a good rest of your week, have a good 575 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:17,199 weekend, and we'll talk to you soon.
