Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome to a new episode of the Poker
Speaker 1: Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. It is well,
Speaker 1: I guess it's Friday. It's Friday, May twenty ninth, one
Speaker 1: oh five am. Latest pod recording session of the summer
Speaker 1: so far. I feel like it's still a little bit
Speaker 1: early though. I had a later night hanging out and
Speaker 1: was just chatting with some folks towards towards the end
Speaker 1: of the night that that uh took up my time. Overall,
Speaker 1: things are starting to cook over at the World Series
Speaker 1: of Poker now. I keep thinking every time I go
Speaker 1: down there that it's it's still the calm before the storm.
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple things, and I know I've
Speaker 1: said this already, you know, on a few of the
Speaker 1: recent episodes, but I think it's because of a couple
Speaker 1: of things specifically, and they're they're for whatever reason, they're
Speaker 1: they're affecting my psyche. One like our area where we
Speaker 1: got to sit and like do our stuff. It's still
Speaker 1: not fully set up. Of course, it's not expected to
Speaker 1: be set up, you know, dealing with the main stage.
Speaker 1: I got it. You know, we're second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
Speaker 1: We're way down on that total bowl. I totally get it.
Speaker 1: But that said, it's just messing with my psyche a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know. Second thing, and I think this
Speaker 1: thing might be the bigger thing, is that that main
Speaker 1: stage it's still behind the curtain. It is still shut
Speaker 1: off from the public. Now it's a giant curtain, and
Speaker 1: you can get a size or an idea of the
Speaker 1: size of this thing, but it just feels like a
Speaker 1: metaphor that it won't fully be the twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: doubs ap until that curtain drops on Friday, which is today,
Speaker 1: when you guys are listening to this, when Pete, we'll
Speaker 1: see what I'm calling the wacip Grand Arena. When this
Speaker 1: thing is revealed, it's it's wow factor, you know. To me,
Speaker 1: everyone's still kind of waking up. The whip itself is
Speaker 1: still kind of waking up. Once this thing drops, once
Speaker 1: that curtain hits the ground, it is on. It is
Speaker 1: game freaking on. And also part of this as well
Speaker 1: is that, you know, we still haven't crowned a bracelet
Speaker 1: are yet. It's Friday. This thing kicked off on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: There has been no bracelet one just yet. Of course,
Speaker 1: we're getting there, right a couple of cool things happened.
Speaker 1: We got our first final table today, well actually our
Speaker 1: first two final tables that I should say, apologies me.
Speaker 1: We got the five hundred dollars Industry Employees event playing
Speaker 1: down right now. They are currently heads up while I
Speaker 1: am recording. I'm likely not going to touch on this
Speaker 1: one once, even if we get a winner during the show.
Speaker 1: I kind of want to, you know, give a little
Speaker 1: bit more to this event when there is a winner
Speaker 1: that happens, So, you know, likely on the next podcast
Speaker 1: is when I'll touch on that one. I don't just
Speaker 1: want to be like, oh, hey, so and so on,
Speaker 1: let's just move on with our lives. But heads up
Speaker 1: is Jeremy Nepple and Sean Hammering, and they look to
Speaker 1: be pretty deep as well, so that one could take
Speaker 1: a little while over there. Now. The other final table
Speaker 1: that we got is in the five K no Limit
Speaker 1: hold them. We talked about that event already a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, getting yesterday, I was talking about how it's
Speaker 1: setting up where we could see a final table that
Speaker 1: includes Martin Cabrell and Maurice Hawkins. Well both of them
Speaker 1: busted out. I think Cabrell busted out shortly after, I
Speaker 1: must have, you know, pressed the stop button and sent
Speaker 1: the sent the podcast over to producer Rich. But listen,
Speaker 1: Friday is a big day. It is a big, big,
Speaker 1: big day. I know I keep hyping up this, this set,
Speaker 1: this stage, but I think it's worth it. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not someone who tries to just set these crazy
Speaker 1: lofty expectations, you know, to basically clickbait everyone. I do
Speaker 1: not believe this is clickbait. I'm also trying to couch
Speaker 1: a little bit of what I'm saying because I don't
Speaker 1: really want to give away too much. But I'm telling you, guys,
Speaker 1: when you see this thing, it's gonna be awesome. And
Speaker 1: with that reveal, it's gonna be immediately into streaming. You know,
Speaker 1: twenty five k heads up. You know it's day one
Speaker 1: of that or day one A of that, because they
Speaker 1: do have two starting flights in that tournament this year.
Speaker 1: You know that's supposed to be streaming. You're also likely
Speaker 1: gonna have some coverage of the five thousand dollars Noldman
Speaker 1: hold the final table that's going on as well. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be curtain drop. It's gonna be a whole
Speaker 1: big wow factor. People are gonna get to see this thing,
Speaker 1: and then throughout the day, you know, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: an action and it's gonna be put out there via
Speaker 1: the WSOP YouTube channel, and people are gonna be able
Speaker 1: to watch this thing and see the set and see
Speaker 1: the twenty six WSOP in action in full. And at
Speaker 1: that point, like that's when it's like, like I said,
Speaker 1: it's game on now. Speaking of that five thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: nolam that hold them final table, it is here. It's
Speaker 1: a big one. They got half a million dollars up top.
Speaker 1: There are five players remaining when they bagged them up
Speaker 1: on Thursday. One of them is wren linn. Lynn of course,
Speaker 1: had a bit of a situation back in October where
Speaker 1: while he was over in Cyprus playing in the WISIP
Speaker 1: Super Circuit Series, it was ruled that he violated the
Speaker 1: poker Integrity policy on gg Poker while playing the WSIP
Speaker 1: Super Circuit Cypress main event. If I remember correctly, what
Speaker 1: happened is basically, someone he was in a group chat,
Speaker 1: somebody called him on a video call and asked him
Speaker 1: what to do on a spot on a phone, and
Speaker 1: he gave some answers and that was the thing. Now
Speaker 1: we can obviously debate, was this innocent thing. Did Rendland
Speaker 1: know what the heck he was doing? I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I can't really judge intent from where I sit. That said,
Speaker 1: it was ruled that he violated this policy and then
Speaker 1: as a result they opted to disqualify him from the
Speaker 1: live tournament, even though what he did was technically an
Speaker 1: online breach of policy. So kind of an interesting result there,
Speaker 1: but that was the penalty. It was a polarizing situation
Speaker 1: at the time. You had plenty of people coming out
Speaker 1: kind of on both sides. Listen, he didn't really mean it,
Speaker 1: he didn't really do it. On the other side of things,
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, he's an ambassador, he needs to know better.
Speaker 1: Like it was, you had both sides covered, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure even still to this day, you know you have
Speaker 1: both sides still covered. You know, there's plenty of people
Speaker 1: on both sides of the fence here. But the story
Speaker 1: now is that Renland is back and he's made the
Speaker 1: final table of the five thousand dollars, no limit, hold
Speaker 1: Them event at the twenty twenty six and he's he's
Speaker 1: full on renln You know, lady Gaga fold to heads up,
Speaker 1: touchdown Tom Brady like it is. It is all there,
Speaker 1: and it is there in full. He does come in
Speaker 1: fourth in Chips with five players of mating. It's Chen
Speaker 1: Jang Mao another player from China, so the three players
Speaker 1: from China. Redland is from China at this final table.
Speaker 1: So Mayo leads the way. He's got ninety big blinds.
Speaker 1: Danny el Geba second in Chips, Jaohulu also from China,
Speaker 1: third and Chips and Renlin in fourth. Like I mentioned in,
Speaker 1: Peter Muger is in fifth. They are playing for that
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars first place prize. A little bit
Speaker 1: more here on Renlin, He's got nineteen point four million
Speaker 1: dollars in live tournament earnings. According to the Hendon mock.
Speaker 1: He's got several victories on his resume. Some of those
Speaker 1: victories are PGT titles. He's got three of those. He's
Speaker 1: also got a couple of wins in some WPT high
Speaker 1: roller events. Believe he won it was a twenty five
Speaker 1: k high roller on the WPT, and then he also
Speaker 1: won an Alpha eight event. That Alpha eight event took
Speaker 1: place at the win WPT World Championship a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. But he has no bracelets. Now, that's not
Speaker 1: to say he hasn't had success in wis AP events.
Speaker 1: You know, he's had five second place finishes, He's had
Speaker 1: three third place finishes in ws AP gold bracelet events.
Speaker 1: He's made the final five here. I didn't look past
Speaker 1: third place over those. You know that was enough. You know,
Speaker 1: eight top three finishes without a win. That that's a lot.
Speaker 1: That is the definition of knocking on the door of
Speaker 1: winning a bracelet. And here he is. Yes, he does
Speaker 1: come in fourth in chips. He has twenty five big
Speaker 1: Lindes to work with, but in Renland style, I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna kick around for a bit and probably make
Speaker 1: you know, the top three for sure, and then go
Speaker 1: from there. Another player of note at this final table
Speaker 1: danielle Geba. He's in better trip position than Lenny said second. Overall,
Speaker 1: he's We've covered him a little bit in some some
Speaker 1: prior tournaments PGT for sure. I think he has a
Speaker 1: second place finish in maybe a Poker Masters event if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. But he's definitely been in the studio
Speaker 1: a bit playing there. I've played with him as well
Speaker 1: around town here in Las Vegas. He had you know,
Speaker 1: some some stream time during a Venetian event that we
Speaker 1: did on the PGT. You know, he he's just a fun,
Speaker 1: aggressive player. He has a tendency to not hold back
Speaker 1: one single bit. So this could be for or this
Speaker 1: could lean into quite a lot of fun. And especially
Speaker 1: if this is gonna be on stream and if they
Speaker 1: are showing a bit of this table, that'll be great
Speaker 1: because with how Gebba plays, I would expect plenty of fireworks.
Speaker 1: He's supremely confident in his ability. You know, he's not
Speaker 1: someone who's who's overly loud or boisterous or anything like that.
Speaker 1: He's he's very quiet. He's kind of silent, you know,
Speaker 1: but his play and his style of play certainly does
Speaker 1: speak volumes. You know. He's also the type of player
Speaker 1: where because he plays this type of you know, kind
Speaker 1: of really like Gopher Broke type of style, if he
Speaker 1: does go on to win this thing, it would be
Speaker 1: his first breakout win. Now, independent of that, let's say,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he's starting second in chips, he's
Speaker 1: got seventy two big blinds, So let's say he gets
Speaker 1: to the top three. I mean, that type of score
Speaker 1: this early in the series that could be you know,
Speaker 1: the type of momentum that somebody of this type of
Speaker 1: style really does harness to then go on and make
Speaker 1: a whole crap ton of noise this summer. So just
Speaker 1: just keep that in mind when it comes to Daniel Gebba,
Speaker 1: just with this playing style, when he gets hot, big
Speaker 1: things can happen. So you know, this might not be
Speaker 1: the last time you hear his name this summer, and
Speaker 1: then we can look back and be like, yeah, he
Speaker 1: made that opening five gate final table, like that's kind
Speaker 1: of where it all started for Daniel. We have switching
Speaker 1: things up and looking over at the fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: Omaha High Low Tournament, they are down to the final
Speaker 1: eighteen players and it looks like they're down to the
Speaker 1: final couple hands before they bag up for the evening,
Speaker 1: and among them they were over eight hundred. They were
Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty eight players in the field there,
Speaker 1: but among them in the final eighteen Vanessa Selps. So
Speaker 1: she's back, she is back in the mix. She is
Speaker 1: back grinding. I believe Phil Helmon's put it on Twitter
Speaker 1: that even if she's only back for a few events.
Speaker 1: At the start of the dibsip it's good. It's good
Speaker 1: to have her back, and it is good to have
Speaker 1: her back blasting away. So that's that's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a notable nugget there. From the fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: Omaha High Low had another flight of the five hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty five dollars fifty five, five hundred and fifty dollars,
Speaker 1: a mini mystery million. It drew twenty four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty entries today, which was Day one seed. That brings
Speaker 1: the total number of entries in this field up to
Speaker 1: five thousand, six hundred and forty seven. We talked about
Speaker 1: how Day one B was surprisingly fewer entries than Day
Speaker 1: one A in this tournament, but a nice uptick here
Speaker 1: to get things trending back in the right direction. And then,
Speaker 1: speaking of numbers, while we're just on this topic, the
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars stud kicked off today got a bit
Speaker 1: over three hundred, much closer to last year's number. The
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars PLO got up over seven hundred entries
Speaker 1: that also very close to last year's number. So although
Speaker 1: they didn't meet last year's number, drawing as close as
Speaker 1: they did, you know, it's definitely a much better sign
Speaker 1: for things to come, and it could all just maybe
Speaker 1: be it's just kind of a slower start to the
Speaker 1: summer overall. But again, you know we're gonna be We're
Speaker 1: gonna be keeping an eye on things with how they go,
Speaker 1: and you know, tracking these numbers and you know, seeing
Speaker 1: seeing how it all shakes out. You know, I still
Speaker 1: expect big things overall from the entire summer. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's just a little bit slow to start,
Speaker 1: So I mean, shoot me if I'm too optimistic there.
Speaker 1: All right, in that five thousand dollars PLO tournament, it
Speaker 1: ended up with seven hundred and sixteen entries five hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety five k up top. It's a shocking player
Speaker 1: who's in first place. It's it's Dylan Wiseman. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's mister freaking Plo himself is just doing it once again.
Speaker 1: And then right behind him is Jesse Lonis, so two
Speaker 1: heavy hitters there when it comes to the four card game.
Speaker 1: Dylan is one of the absolute best, if not the
Speaker 1: best PLO player in the world, especially when it comes
Speaker 1: to tournaments. We all know Jesse Lonis aka the Gorilla
Speaker 1: with how good he is. You know, he's also a
Speaker 1: player who, as I was talking about earlier with Daniel Gebba,
Speaker 1: you know, he's someone who he swings big and when
Speaker 1: he gets hot, I mean, you just better freaking watch out.
Speaker 1: I was hanging around on the rail checking out out
Speaker 1: this tournament for a bit today, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: probably an hour or two before they bagged up. I'm
Speaker 1: talking with Tristan Wade, who's a good friend of mine.
Speaker 1: We do some commentary together as well. I think we're
Speaker 1: lined up to do some commentary this weekend at Venetian
Speaker 1: for the Venetian Poker live streams that are coming up
Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday. And we're, you know, we're just chatting.
Speaker 1: He had just busted out of the tournament. We're just
Speaker 1: you know, shooting the ship, talking about life. He's floating
Speaker 1: some ideas with me, like all this sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: A gentleman starts kind of hovering close to us, and
Speaker 1: it's it's to the point where you know, you, I mean,
Speaker 1: you guys know what's happening When when I say that,
Speaker 1: you know, you feel that the person wants to talk
Speaker 1: to you, but he's kind of waiting for a reason
Speaker 1: to talk to you, or he's waiting for one of
Speaker 1: us to say something where he can agree with us
Speaker 1: and like basically interject himself into the conversation. So he's
Speaker 1: kind of like floating right near us and getting a
Speaker 1: little bit closer. And then finally he just starts asking Tristan,
Speaker 1: you know about the tournament. Hey. Oh. The first he says,
Speaker 1: actually is do you have any bullets left? Which is
Speaker 1: kind of a very weird question to ask, And immediately
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, he's this guy. Maybe this guy's just
Speaker 1: like looking out there to blast and he wants to
Speaker 1: put people who have extra bullets because I believe you
Speaker 1: could allow you were allowed three bullets in this thing,
Speaker 1: one entry and then two re entries. And Tristan says,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I you know, I only played once,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to play again. And it didn't
Speaker 1: amount to the guy, you know, firing in. Like I
Speaker 1: was like, that would be crazy if the guy was like, well,
Speaker 1: I'll just put you in, you know. But anyway, but
Speaker 1: him and Tristan started talking. The gentleman's name was Josh
Speaker 1: and an Asian gentleman, and he's you know, they're chatting
Speaker 1: it up and basically they start talking about like should
Speaker 1: the guy Josh is like, you know, should I Should
Speaker 1: I register now? Should I wait till it's late registration
Speaker 1: and registration was about to close and let's say ten
Speaker 1: or fifteen minutes that break and then obviously through the
Speaker 1: break you could so they're debating the benefits. Then gives
Speaker 1: the positives in terms of, you know, should he get now,
Speaker 1: should he just wait till the late reds all this
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. So it ends up they end up
Speaker 1: chatting whatever. But it never really felt like the guy
Speaker 1: was like gonna play the tournament, okay, So whatever. Tristan
Speaker 1: ends up like the conversation like breaks off after you know,
Speaker 1: ten minutes or so. Tristan runs to the bathroom. He
Speaker 1: comes back in the tournament's on break, the tournament's about
Speaker 1: to get back from break. We're sitting there chatting with
Speaker 1: Michael mss Rocky about how you know him and Tristan
Speaker 1: went down to Australia, had a fun time down there,
Speaker 1: had some success in the tournaments for the return of
Speaker 1: the Ausie Millions like all that, and Miss Rocky leaves
Speaker 1: and the guy the Gentleman, the Asian Gentleman comes back
Speaker 1: over Josh and he's, you know, he's he shows Trists
Speaker 1: in the app and he's like, he's like, I'm in
Speaker 1: or whatever he says. He's like, I'm in, you know,
Speaker 1: so do I just like, do I just wait for
Speaker 1: my seat? Because he's he's was listed as an alternate. First,
Speaker 1: Tristan tells him, oh, you should go find a floor,
Speaker 1: but then it dawned on him and they said, no, no,
Speaker 1: actually you just wait till it pops up on the
Speaker 1: app and then it says, you know, oh your seat's
Speaker 1: availab or whatever it says, I forget. But the cool
Speaker 1: thing about it is that, I don't know, they got
Speaker 1: to be kind of friendly throughout this whole little ordeal.
Speaker 1: And Tristan goes, you know, can I buy a piece?
Speaker 1: Can I buy a piece right now? And the guys like,
Speaker 1: are you're serious? And I don't really like he goes,
Speaker 1: I don't really know, like because I know what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: but I'm not the best PLO player, like you know,
Speaker 1: and Tristan's like, I don't care. I get kind of
Speaker 1: good feeling. So if Tristan ends up just buying five
Speaker 1: percent on the spot, at face gives the guy two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks, and then the guy starts asking
Speaker 1: him pointers, you know, like you know, hey, like Tristan said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just just let me know, like they exchange numbers.
Speaker 1: Tristan's like, yeah, you can text me any time, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll give you some tips. Maybe we can talk hands
Speaker 1: like whatever it may be. And the guy's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like I was kind of looking at this
Speaker 1: thing to see like what's a good hand and what's
Speaker 1: not like and then Tristan's explaining how when the guy
Speaker 1: comes in, he's only gonna have twelve and a half
Speaker 1: big blind, so there's gonna be a limping strategy that
Speaker 1: he should deploy, and it's kind of spawns into this
Speaker 1: whole little ten minute strategy talk. But I just thought
Speaker 1: that the interaction was just it was cool. It was
Speaker 1: something that you know, you really only see in poker
Speaker 1: and in the gambling world, and all that sort of
Speaker 1: stuff is magnified and a little bit more prevalent when
Speaker 1: it comes to the World Series of Poker. Just Tristan
Speaker 1: just met this guy. He only knows that the guy's
Speaker 1: name is Josh, that's all he knows, and just out
Speaker 1: of nowhere pulls out his wallet and says, I want
Speaker 1: to buy five percent. The guy says, are you sure? Okay,
Speaker 1: the guy just accepts it. Tristan pays him the cash
Speaker 1: right there, They exchange numbers and that's that. The guy's
Speaker 1: off and running. In the tournament, they start with fifty
Speaker 1: thousand chips. Tristan and I go, we're just talking some more.
Speaker 1: Tristan gets a text that like the guys, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, like a half hour after he started playing,
Speaker 1: is up to two hundred k. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: just it's it's off and running. So I mean, I
Speaker 1: hope he does well. That'd just be an amazing story
Speaker 1: and we'll have to we'll have to follow it up
Speaker 1: from here. Funny funny stuff. How that that all happens
Speaker 1: at the World Series? And I'm sure, Oh, I think
Speaker 1: they had a connection that Tristan's from Florida, and I
Speaker 1: think that this guy might live in Florida or spends
Speaker 1: a lot of time in Florida or something like that.
Speaker 1: That was kind of the initial connection. But anyway, I
Speaker 1: just think it's funny that that that that sort of
Speaker 1: interaction can spark a friendship now, like like a poker friendship.
Speaker 1: Like these guys are you know? He bought action five
Speaker 1: percent of them on the spot, just and has no idea.
Speaker 1: This guy's good, bad, what he's he gonna do with
Speaker 1: the money? Like it doesn't matter. There's just that trust there.
Speaker 1: He sized him up, thought he was a good guy,
Speaker 1: said you know what, let's gamble. I want to get
Speaker 1: back in the mix. Here's five percent, here's my money,
Speaker 1: let's go. Now they got each other's numbers. They're probably
Speaker 1: going to see each other throughout the summer in terms
Speaker 1: of like playing in the tournaments and being at different tables,
Speaker 1: but they'll always have like that little bond that that's
Speaker 1: something comes from it. And I just I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for this shit. I'm sorry, I just
Speaker 1: really am. So that's that was a really cool nugget
Speaker 1: of something that happened today while out there roaming the floor.
Speaker 1: Another cool thing that happened today. And this is the
Speaker 1: coolest damn thing that happened today. It didn't happen down
Speaker 1: at the Horseshoe or at Paris. In fact, I guess
Speaker 1: it happened digitally because Daniel Legrano Amanda Nagrano, they announced
Speaker 1: that they are having a baby. It is through a surrogate.
Speaker 1: Daniel and Amanda announced it on the vlog that dropped
Speaker 1: on Thursday. The vlogs are back, by the way, guys,
Speaker 1: the vlogs are back. The d nexvogs are back. Watch
Speaker 1: them every single morning. If you guys don't do that
Speaker 1: as well, I don't know what the hell you're doing.
Speaker 1: But they explained fifteen weeks pregnant. Now they have talked
Speaker 1: in some various vlogs, or at least Daniel has talked
Speaker 1: in some various blogs how they are trying or they
Speaker 1: have been trying. So now they are fifteen weeks pregnant,
Speaker 1: expected to be delivered in November. And it is a boy,
Speaker 1: so great news there of Daniel and a minute. It's
Speaker 1: also a funny running joke another the funny story. I
Speaker 1: guess that that happened today kind of in the similar
Speaker 1: conversation when I was standing there, a Trician is Jeff
Speaker 1: Gross walks up and he starts talking about, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: are we gonna do the World Cup of Vegas this year?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna play soccer? Because the three of us
Speaker 1: are on a team, and I believe we won the
Speaker 1: first one that they ever held together. We won it twice.
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember if it was the first one or
Speaker 1: the second one, but we won that that soccer tournament
Speaker 1: twice with all the poker players in Las Vegas. But
Speaker 1: we're you know, we're talking about how we're old now.
Speaker 1: Getting out of bed is like we feel like we
Speaker 1: can't move half the time, like you know, imagine trying
Speaker 1: to run around play soccer all day, Like are we
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do that? I mean, we're you know,
Speaker 1: we're half joking that we're old, but you know, you
Speaker 1: start feeling it. We got kids now, chasing them around again,
Speaker 1: and all of us have kids, so that but that's
Speaker 1: the joke now. And that also is something that we
Speaker 1: talk about often over at the Poker Gross studio where
Speaker 1: it's like everyone everyone's got a fucking kids now, Like
Speaker 1: that that's the thing, Like, you know, everyone comes in,
Speaker 1: they show up to quote unquote work, whether you're a player,
Speaker 1: whether you're on our side of things, whatever, and it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: how's the family, how the kids, how's the wife? You know,
Speaker 1: like that's those are the conversations now, And it's almost
Speaker 1: as though if you don't have a kid, if you
Speaker 1: aren't a dad or a mom. You know, you're you're
Speaker 1: almost the outlier now, which is both cool but also
Speaker 1: kind of a reminder that there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: young people kind of coming up in the game these days,
Speaker 1: which stinks, but you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but that's just how it is. So anyway,
Speaker 1: shout out to Daniel and Amanda. That's really really really
Speaker 1: awesome news. A lot of fun and you know, so
Speaker 1: I guess next summer when when Daniel's doing vlogs, he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a little kid running around or crawling around
Speaker 1: or whatever. So a lot of fun there. But honestly,
Speaker 1: that's really all I got for you guys. You know,
Speaker 1: a couple stories run through, a couple of results. Here.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's the big day, as I mentioned, or Friday is
Speaker 1: the big day. The w SP Grand Arena is going
Speaker 1: to be revealed. I hope you guys, if you aren't
Speaker 1: able to make it down to Paris to the Horseshoe
Speaker 1: to see this thing in person this year. You know,
Speaker 1: I hope that the photos can do a justice. I
Speaker 1: hope the streams can do it justice. I hope the
Speaker 1: videos that come out can do it justice because Poker,
Speaker 1: and specifically the World Series of Poker deserves a stage
Speaker 1: like this. It does. It is o our industry super Bowl.
Speaker 1: It is the biggest and the best thing that this
Speaker 1: industry has, and it deserves to have, you know, that

Speaker 1: Blueprint fifty two cannot wait to reveal that to anyone.
