Speaker 1: was presented by Vision gto trainer Seth Davies, is the
Speaker 1: champion one point five million in Davies's pockets. He came
Speaker 1: back from two big blinds to win it all. If
Speaker 1: you can believe it, quite the incredible comeback run for
Speaker 1: Seth Davies. He tried to bluff Shaan Winter. It didn't work.
Speaker 1: He was knocked all the way down into two big blinds,
Speaker 1: but a few double ups later, another big pock go
Speaker 1: in his way. Next thing you know, Davies is right
Speaker 1: back into the thick of it. He eventually goes into
Speaker 1: heads up play against Artem Maximov with the chip lead.
Speaker 1: I think it was about two to one at the time,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit holm. Maximov actually starts closing the gap,
Speaker 1: but then a set versus top pair on the flop
Speaker 1: allowed Davies to extend that chip lead up to more
Speaker 1: than three to one, and then from there he never
Speaker 1: looked back and shortly finished off Arte Maximoff, who had
Speaker 1: a great showing himself second place for nine hundred K.
Speaker 1: Seven players did cash in this event from the forty
Speaker 1: two entry field SETH Davies first place one point five million,
Speaker 1: Arte Maximoff second place, nine hundred K. Sean Winter third place,
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand. Jared Blesnik, the defending champion, another very
Speaker 1: very deep run in this event, almost defended his title
Speaker 1: but ultimately fell in fourth place for four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. Josh Aria fifth place, three hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars, Sam Silverall two hundred and fifty K
Speaker 1: for a sixth place finish, and then Ben Tolering, fresh
Speaker 1: off his twenty five K win he at the end
Speaker 1: of the PGTPLO series, follows that up with a seventh
Speaker 1: place finish here for one hundred and seventy K. Jeremy Osmas,
Speaker 1: the PGT front runner, he bubbled the tournament so didn't
Speaker 1: get his twenty sixth cash of the PGT season, but
Speaker 1: you know, still prove that you know he has what
Speaker 1: it takes to put himself in position to do well
Speaker 1: in big tournaments. For Davies, his second Super High Rollerbowl
Speaker 1: win in two months time. At the end of August,
Speaker 1: he won Super High ROLLERBWL nine over in Cyprus. Tim
Speaker 1: was there. He took home just over three point two
Speaker 1: million dollars for that, So just over four point seven
Speaker 1: million dollars from these two wins for Davies. Just absolutely crushing.
Speaker 1: I mean, what are your thoughts on the event? I
Speaker 1: know you talked to Davies afterwards, so any takeaways or
Speaker 1: actually hold on, let me let's play the Davies interview first, right,
Speaker 1: and then I'll get your response. I should I should
Speaker 1: do this in correct order. I'm a horrible host. So
Speaker 1: first up here is Seth Davies.
Speaker 2: Seth Davises, congratulations, second super High Robleball victory. You also
Speaker 2: the third player to win two in the same year,
Speaker 2: Justin and Timothy Adams. I want to know for you
Speaker 2: which ring is more superior, the no limit hold On
Speaker 2: one or this PLO one. They're hard to compare.
Speaker 3: It's kind of apples apples to oranges. It's I think
Speaker 3: the PLOS is really cool because there's so many guys
Speaker 3: from different from a different world kind of come in here.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: There's so many players are like cash game pros from
Speaker 3: Europe especially, so it's cool.
Speaker 2: To have those guys come in here.
Speaker 3: It's like a much different world, so I couldn't say
Speaker 3: one's better than the other. I think the no limit
Speaker 3: means a little more to me because I've been a
Speaker 3: no him a pro for longer and I was really
Speaker 3: hunting a big win like that.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I can't can't say no this. Your
Speaker 2: two biggest scores have come now in Super High rolla Wall.
Speaker 2: You're now twenty third on the Old Time Money List.
Speaker 2: For you personally, you know, family man, poker player. Do
Speaker 2: you care that much about moving up on this Old
Speaker 2: Time Money List?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I do. I do.
Speaker 3: I mean, at the end of the day, making money
Speaker 3: is the primary objective, but something like the All Time Money.
Speaker 2: List, it's it.
Speaker 3: It gives you that specifically, it gives you a lot
Speaker 3: of validation for what your career is, right because like
Speaker 3: nobody just dumbles into like you know, thirty million in
Speaker 3: cases or whatever. Somebody can run hot and win like
Speaker 3: a ten million dollars main event or something. So it's
Speaker 3: a lot of validation to have the longevity to accumulate
Speaker 3: that much in caches.
Speaker 2: So it means a lot to me for sure. We
Speaker 2: never really kind of count on you to be in
Speaker 2: our PLO events, but you know, you won the twenty
Speaker 2: five K in March's PGTPLO series. Now you've won one
Speaker 2: hundred k. Are we going to become a PLO specialist?
Speaker 2: Put you know, throwing No Limit to the side.
Speaker 3: No Limits my main my main girl there, she's never
Speaker 3: gone anywhere but PLO. I was just talking to our ten,
Speaker 3: the guy who got second, about this and how PELO
Speaker 3: tournaments are becoming more of a you know or pronounced
Speaker 3: part of the high stakes schedule nowadays. You know, you
Speaker 3: have a bunch of wsops here at Super high Rollable
Speaker 3: now as well as like PGT PLO series, So there's
Speaker 3: just a lot of PILO.
Speaker 2: Tournaments to play now.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to be around playing all these for sure.
Speaker 2: Obviously you're going to spend a lot of time at home,
Speaker 2: you know, working on your game, working you know, solvers,
Speaker 2: working on No Limit holding. Are you now adding more
Speaker 2: PLO to your kind of you know study in preparation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I spent a lot of time studying, studying PLOW.
Speaker 3: I there's you know, I just don't have millions I
Speaker 3: have you know, literally millions of Hands of No Limit
Speaker 3: under my belt, so like I have really good fundamentals
Speaker 3: of that game. And PLO I just don't, so I
Speaker 3: got a lot of ground to cover up. So fortunately,
Speaker 3: one of the good things I've worked for me is
Speaker 3: I know how tournaments work and how the values of
Speaker 3: chips are kind of fluid throughout the tournament, which.
Speaker 2: Is very important.
Speaker 3: So once I can kind of blend that with better
Speaker 3: PLO fundamentals, I'll think I'll be a pretty good weapon
Speaker 3: at these PLO tournaments.
Speaker 2: You always, you know, complain to me that we need
Speaker 2: more freeze outs and you know you were lucky enough
Speaker 2: to parlay one bullet in the satellite do you hundre
Speaker 2: kate buying but you know that didn't go too well
Speaker 2: and second entry, So I want to know what goes
Speaker 2: through your mind when you're considering a re entry in
Speaker 2: a tournament, you know, a buying of Vispi versus and
Speaker 2: also a field that's you know, relatively small.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so late buy ins are actually better in smaller fields. Basically,
Speaker 3: so whenever people have busted from a tournament, there's kind
Speaker 3: of dead money. It's you call it dead money, but
Speaker 3: it's not dead money. It's not completely dead. But the
Speaker 3: idea is basically, when the field is smaller, the fewer
Speaker 3: things need to happen for you to one make the
Speaker 3: money to to win the tournament. So if you're talking
Speaker 3: about a thousand person field, registering late isn't as advantageous
Speaker 3: because so many things have to happen.
Speaker 2: So it's much more.
Speaker 3: Valuable to you know, play as many hands as you
Speaker 3: can and accumulate chips if.
Speaker 2: You're a winning player.
Speaker 3: So I'm just like mostly gonna be rebuying most of
Speaker 3: the time. If I mean that will game select. You know,
Speaker 3: if it's a really tough Pilo tournament, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: be in there. But I think those will be rare
Speaker 3: at least not to the point that at least tough
Speaker 3: to the point where I don't think I'm at least
Speaker 3: break even in them. So I'll be rebuying pretty much anytime.
Speaker 2: Two months left in the year, there's a couple of
Speaker 2: big series coming out. You know, we've got napt and
Speaker 2: win here and then you know we're got Tried and
Speaker 2: also you know Paradise, So yep, your approach to your
Speaker 2: schedule coming out, what is it? But also like what
Speaker 2: is your mind mindset knowing you know, we got this
Speaker 2: big win here, we got that big win in Cypress,
Speaker 2: we had a Pokemasa's final type. But how you feeling
Speaker 2: approaching this two pretty big months of ton poker fi.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't ask for a better mindset to be
Speaker 3: in with. You know, we're coming into massive stakes at Triton,
Speaker 3: at Win and at Bahamas, So just having a great
Speaker 3: year underneath me already, let's it really just like lets
Speaker 3: you kind of be free and not scared. It's like
Speaker 3: confidence and momentum is absolutely a thingk in poker because
Speaker 3: it's going to keep you from being tight and scared
Speaker 3: of losing, which is kind of disastrous. So being able
Speaker 3: to carry that mindset into these gigantic buy INDs is
Speaker 3: like a huge, huge boost for me.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So that was mister Davies. I guess a little bit
Speaker 1: of a deja vu because you talked to him at
Speaker 1: the end of the super high rollerbl win. Yeah, Cyprus.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking to him at the end of the
Speaker 1: super high Rollable Pelo win here in Vegas. You know,
Speaker 1: what are you kind of your thoughts coming out of
Speaker 1: the event from Davis?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, yeah, both these two wins for
Speaker 2: him two biggest Korea school you know you mentioned three
Speaker 2: point two million and one point five million, so he
Speaker 2: touched on it, you know, winning two very extremely prestigious events,
Speaker 2: you know, high stakes, insanely tough competition for his two
Speaker 2: biggest wins, you know, kind of that's a big career
Speaker 2: defining moment, you know for him. There obviously talked to
Speaker 2: him about all time moneyless and what that means to him,
Speaker 2: and you know, it's actually the thing I took most
Speaker 2: out of it is that, you know, Seth is just
Speaker 2: like he's so calm and so you know, his responses,
Speaker 2: he just are so well thought out, you know, and
Speaker 2: you've just won one point five million dollars. Even when
Speaker 2: I talked to him in August after winning three point two,
Speaker 2: both times he had a beer in his hand, but
Speaker 2: yet he was his response is so professional, and it's
Speaker 2: it's good to see these like good guys that are
Speaker 2: on the tour playing all that PGT events breakthrough to
Speaker 2: win such you know, such career highlight kind of events.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, a couple of years ago, you know,
Speaker 1: much was made of the close calls for Chris Brewer,
Speaker 1: you know, just constantly like knocking at the door of big,
Speaker 1: big events, but but you know, never really broke through.
Speaker 1: You know, Seth Davies I think has kind of a
Speaker 1: similar story arc where he's always in there battling in
Speaker 1: some of the biggest events in the world. And you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: years ago he did win a World Poker Tour title
Speaker 1: and he has that, right. But these events that are
Speaker 1: around now, you know, the PGT events, the Triton events,
Speaker 1: all the high roller stuff that takes place at the
Speaker 1: World Series of Poker, you know, they're they're a different
Speaker 1: tier now, right, and it's it's not necessarily about these days.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can correct me if I'm wrong here
Speaker 1: in what I'm thinking, But you get a World Poker
Speaker 1: Tour win, for example, you know, you get a WSVY
Speaker 1: bracelet and kind of a more common event. You know,
Speaker 1: I mean, no disrespect to the events, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: use that phrase, but you know, like a one K,
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred, et cetera. You know, those large field MTTs.
Speaker 1: That's all well and good, and that's certainly respectable to
Speaker 1: be able to navigate through that, but I think there's
Speaker 1: more of a tip of the cap. When a player
Speaker 1: beats extremely elite, its extremely prestigious competition, and that can
Speaker 1: be against thirty players, it can be against fifty players,
Speaker 1: it can be against you know, one hundred players, whatever
Speaker 1: it may be. But it's more about the level of
Speaker 1: competition that is, like what these top guys are striving
Speaker 1: to go after now. So getting like one of these
Speaker 1: high roller wins at such an elite level. You know,
Speaker 1: Davies had it in Super High Rollable in Cyprus. Now
Speaker 1: he has it in the hunter K super High roll
Speaker 1: level plo here in Vegas. So, you know, I think
Speaker 1: those things just kind of going back to what I
Speaker 1: was getting at with Chris Brewer. Like Davies has always
Speaker 1: been around, He's always been in these events. He just
Speaker 1: he hadn't had the close calls that Brewer had, you know,
Speaker 1: but he was always there. You know, he just kind
Speaker 1: of bombed out early. It just never really worked out
Speaker 1: for him. So, you know, everyone was kind of winning
Speaker 1: towards Oh, you know, Chris Brewer is just he's getting
Speaker 1: so close, He's getting so close, and a lot of
Speaker 1: times Brewer is getting screwed by bad beats, just just
Speaker 1: very unlucky. And then finally he broke through. You know,
Speaker 1: for Davies, it was just like kind of Whin's he
Speaker 1: gonna break through? When's he gonna break through, and then
Speaker 1: this year boom like just an absolute rocket ship, you know,
Speaker 1: propelled by these two victories. So so yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of been a long time coming for him on the
Speaker 1: high stake scene. But I will say kudos to him
Speaker 1: for continuing to show up in battle, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's not easy to constantly show up and basically get
Speaker 1: your teeth kicked in or a bow out early or
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And and and specifically in this event,
Speaker 1: you know, coming back from from trying a bluff that
Speaker 1: didn't work, he gets knocked down to two big blinds,
Speaker 1: ultimately is able to spin it back up, put himself
Speaker 1: in con contention, and then go on to get the
Speaker 1: victory in a game that he admits that isn't his specialty.
Speaker 1: You know, Nolan man hold him is his game. He's
Speaker 1: he has taken a more serious approach to POO in
Speaker 1: probably the last year year and a half, and not
Speaker 1: during this PGTPLO series, but the last one. He did
Speaker 1: close it out with a win in the twenty five
Speaker 1: K finale, and now he goes on to win the
Speaker 1: biggest PG or the biggest PLO event in the world.
Speaker 1: So good on Seth Davies kind of sort of announcing
Speaker 1: himself this year. If you haven't known about Seth Davies,
Speaker 1: like here he is. This is his big arrival, and
Speaker 1: he sets himself up nicely, you know, going into the
Speaker 1: the PGT Championship. You know where he's now in third place,
Speaker 1: which unless something ridiculous happens, but it's never gonna happen.
Speaker 1: He's locked into making that championships, so we'll see him
Speaker 1: battling there and he'll be able to do so in
Speaker 1: nolaant Holdham, which is his specialty. So very much looking
Speaker 1: forward to seeing what Davies brings for the rest of
Speaker 1: the PGT season and then ultimately in that championship. Any
Speaker 1: more takeaways on Davies. I have some questions for you,
Speaker 1: but don't you know anything else on on Davies specifically, No.
Speaker 2: I mean you guys heard the interview. The one thing
Speaker 2: you know I did ask him about was, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of what we just discussed No Limit versus PLO,
Speaker 2: and it was interesting that he was like, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: my bread and butter, know them holding But you see
Speaker 2: so many so much PLO now World Series. You see
Speaker 2: it to try and obviously the PGT is kind of
Speaker 2: all in on PLO right now, and he kind of
Speaker 2: sees that as hey, this is another potential value spout
Speaker 2: if I can get better. So he is now actively,
Speaker 2: you know, working on his PLO game, and it's shown
Speaker 2: you got the hundred K title, he's got a twenty
Speaker 2: five K title. Now I imagine you get a few
Speaker 2: more one hundred thousand hands under the belt, a few
Speaker 2: more simulations, he could be one of the best OMAHA
Speaker 2: players in the world. You just never know. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: know that.
Speaker 1: After he won our colleague MKO Rinkima did a brief
Speaker 1: interview with him as well, and you know he he
Speaker 1: basically likened PLO to like a big logic puzzle, and
Speaker 1: I think that that really tracks a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I every time I'm in the booth with a
Speaker 1: Jane Andes or hearing Alex Livingston on the Super High
Speaker 1: Rollble PLO commentary, you know, it does feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of the PLO stuff, the strategy stuff makes sense
Speaker 1: if you just take some time and like think it
Speaker 1: all through. And I think that you see a lot
Speaker 1: of lines taken from the best players in the world
Speaker 1: that really do make a lot of sense. Whereas nolamn
Speaker 1: hold them. You know, I feel like on one side
Speaker 1: it's it's robotic, but then also like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: at times, it feels a little less logical to me,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more artistic, I would say, because.
Speaker 4: You do have to.
Speaker 1: I think some of the best players in the world
Speaker 1: mirror theory and exploit, you know, kind of all on one.
Speaker 1: So anyway, but hey, listen, good on Seth Davies, and
Speaker 1: I think that overall, you know, I think there's probably
Speaker 1: a lot of money to be made in PLO if
Speaker 1: you can get good, I would say, in the next
Speaker 1: three to six months, if you can like really lock
Speaker 1: in your your PLO game. Just because the rise of
Speaker 1: PLO in general, I think a lot of people are
Speaker 1: looking to play it both in a cash game setting
Speaker 1: and in a tournament setting. I think a tournament setting
Speaker 1: can be a little bit more controllable. On the variant side,
Speaker 1: I mean cash games, it feels like guys are just
Speaker 1: going to like almost play anything and just kind of
Speaker 1: gamble it up and get their money in. At least
Speaker 1: from a lot of what I talked to my friends
Speaker 1: who play a lot of high stakes to PLO cash.
Speaker 1: But then on the tournament side, it feels a little
Speaker 1: bit more controlled. If you're a very good player and
Speaker 1: if you know what you're doing, you can really take
Speaker 1: advantage of things and really find some good spots. So
Speaker 1: if you have an interest in that sort of thing,
Speaker 1: I would highly encourage you to jump in, because it
Speaker 1: does feel like the time is now. This year's Super
Speaker 1: High Rollable PLO had forty two entries. Last year was
Speaker 1: thirty six. How do you feel about the turnout, mister
Speaker 1: commission excellent.
Speaker 2: You know, like I said, I just wanted thirty nine.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to beat Lossius. So we did that.
Speaker 2: We did that pretty pretty comfortably, did that on day
Speaker 2: one before even actually we tied it on day one. Sorry,
Speaker 2: it could have been more. You know, That's kind of
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna say on that. I feel there was
Speaker 2: a few Well who was missing? I mean that's not
Speaker 2: going first.
Speaker 1: The first name that sticks out in my head that
Speaker 1: was missing Sean Deep No not, he didn't play it
Speaker 1: last year. I know Ben Lamb, well, he's like mister PLO.
Speaker 1: Did he He must have had something else going.
Speaker 2: Did you not see his Instagram all week? He's playing
Speaker 2: some round of golf with every day of the PLO tournament.
Speaker 1: So that makes sense. I mean, obviously, you know I
Speaker 1: and I want to say that I thought I heard
Speaker 1: him say that, like he had something scheduled then. And
Speaker 1: Ben's a massive golfer and you know he takes that
Speaker 1: extremely seriously and he's had a lot of like incredible
Speaker 1: life experiences from that, like he he got to golf
Speaker 1: with Tiger Woods because it's something that he won or whatever.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, I mean, I don't I don't blame
Speaker 1: him for asking it up to do that, but it was,
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, you know, walking through the room, like, hey,
Speaker 1: where's Yeah.
Speaker 2: Ben Lamb was a big one. Dylan Lindy was another one.
Speaker 2: He had a trip pre planned, so that kind of
Speaker 2: we lost him. Uh, And they were obviously playing the
Speaker 2: entire PGT PLO series. Another person, Latara Guerrera, who played
Speaker 2: the entire PLO series, thought he might stick around. He didn't.
Speaker 2: He went back home, obviously as a little newborn baby,
Speaker 2: and home some players that I thought we're going to
Speaker 2: play that didn't. I thought maybe maybe we could have
Speaker 2: seen a Chance Corneth or a Shande, but they were,
Speaker 2: like I was hoping.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Chance corner and speaking of seeing things on Instagram,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you follow I think it's Eric
Speaker 1: Hawkman and this guy out of Denver, but yeah, all
Speaker 1: I know is Chance was in the Instagram. He's like
Speaker 1: a fitness influencer, like a big like fitness influencer. I
Speaker 1: should get his name correctly before. I sure it was Chance,
Speaker 1: Eric Hinman, Yeah for sure, because even Eric said something
Speaker 1: along the lines of like we should have bet, like
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna bet on today's workout or something like that,
Speaker 1: and then he tagged Chance.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, okay, Eric Haman.
Speaker 1: Three hundred and ten thousand followers, five time iron Man,
Speaker 1: like I believe he lives in Denver and has this
Speaker 1: crazy like backyard with sauna, cold plunges like all this different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you would, you would, you would love this guy, okay,
Speaker 1: with your newfound fitness enthusiasm. Just the Chance Corners was
Speaker 1: in the Instagram and I was like, hold on happening.
Speaker 2: I guess another guy we saw. He was the first
Speaker 2: person we saw Sweet Lou Sweet Lou Gozi.
Speaker 1: I saw him there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he didn't not He's all over the place.
Speaker 2: And then I'm.
Speaker 1: Surprised that we didn't get a Jason Mercyer just you know,
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't travel a lot from Worker, but
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, maybe a one off, like a
Speaker 1: one off hundred k poo Jason would make the trip out,
Speaker 1: especially when you you adjusted the schedule to allow for
Speaker 1: that day to registration. Maybe you come in for you
Speaker 1: know that that that just that second day, Yeah, come
Speaker 1: in with the thirty big blinds and go from there exactly.
Speaker 2: And then I guess we've got to look at some
Speaker 2: of the re entrants at dinner re enter. Richard Greicho,
Speaker 2: he was one of the first casualties. I thought he
Speaker 2: might be a day two re entrance, saying with Bryce Jockey,
Speaker 2: both too early eliminations. And then we look at the
Speaker 2: two local guys, you know, Jesse Lonas, Alex Foxen. Alex
Speaker 2: had multiple bullets listed on you know, poker steak, so
Speaker 2: that kind of assumed he was going to be put
Speaker 2: up the re entry. He busted, you know, last ten
Speaker 2: minutes of day two of day one, sorry, and same
Speaker 2: with Jesse big plo player obviously a lot of success
Speaker 2: in the I think it was the fifty k he
Speaker 2: won at the World Series. But they were two kind
Speaker 2: of people I thought would definitely re enter and dinn't.
Speaker 2: So maybe we kind of ran bad. Maybe we should
Speaker 2: have had forty four forty five total entrance. But you
Speaker 2: know what, forty two is a great number for one
Speaker 2: hundred k, especially when there is another one hundred k
Speaker 2: PLO in about a month's time down in Bahamas.
Speaker 1: Where was mister Phil Galfon? You know, I heard he
Speaker 1: was supposed to be playing. I heard he was going
Speaker 1: to be there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. That's another that mister. You know,
Speaker 2: these guys they just they just fake PLO people. Yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe he's washed up, just can't hack it anymore, but no,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Obviously, very busy with you know, Rona
Speaker 2: wants and vision gto trainers, so you know poker is
Speaker 2: taking a back seat for him and other players like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, overall, I thought the turnout was good.
Speaker 1: I said forty six was my number, So it fell
Speaker 1: a little bit short.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I thought we might get a couple of those names
Speaker 1: that we just talked about that pop in there. You know,
Speaker 1: I definitely I thought sweet Luke Garza was a possibility
Speaker 1: going in, and then we saw him and I was
Speaker 1: like Okay, he's for sure gonna be in there. I
Speaker 1: heard Tom Dwan walk by the studio he's he's when
Speaker 1: when it.
Speaker 4: Was happening, and asked, what's going on or something? What's
Speaker 4: happening with what's going on in there? I mean he
Speaker 4: was sure it was Tom, though, I mean I heard
Speaker 4: it was. I don't have any reason to doubt who
Speaker 4: said that?
Speaker 2: Remco Okay, yeah, I mean it could have if it
Speaker 2: was one of the production guys. Maybe they didn't know,
Speaker 2: they didn't notice him.
Speaker 1: He said to Liz the production person.
Speaker 2: Stage manager stage manager.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I forgot our title, said like, hey, Liz, what's
Speaker 1: going on in there? Because she obviously does the stage
Speaker 1: managing stuff for like all the big cash games that
Speaker 1: he plays on at times, right, So that seems like
Speaker 1: he would know what's going on. So yeah, so I
Speaker 1: just thought that that was interesting. I don't know what
Speaker 1: we gotta do. I don't know who I got to
Speaker 1: sell my left arm too or something to get Ivy
Speaker 1: in the damn studio for these tournaments.
Speaker 2: He was too busy playing five ten no women hold
Speaker 2: him at the win with Joey Ingram and Brad Owen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Patrick Antonius, I would love to see him in
Speaker 1: there too.
Speaker 2: I'll never get him. Why not taxes?
Speaker 1: But they play cash?
Speaker 2: There's no taxes on cash games?
Speaker 1: Are there no taxes on cash games?
Speaker 2: Well, Ari doesn't tax cash games.
Speaker 1: Okay, but you're on a televised cash game. Patrick played
Speaker 1: on a televised cash game before.
Speaker 2: I don't think that matters.
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I'm just saying he's played on televised
Speaker 1: cash games before. Any notable feedback from the players about
Speaker 1: this event.
Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing really specific, to be honest. You know, we're
Speaker 2: already were talking about you know, when when is it
Speaker 2: on again? That's all like, you know, you weren't there.
Speaker 2: This is you're already kind of taken off on your
Speaker 2: little holiday. And they were all sitting I think literally
Speaker 2: all the Finish guys and then marn Dam and Grifford
Speaker 2: proog Jones were all sitting around the table that's directly
Speaker 2: in front of our desk, and they all borrowed like
Speaker 2: four different iPads from the ARIA crew so they could
Speaker 2: watch it, even though they said they wanted to watch
Speaker 2: it on stream while also standing there watching. And I
Speaker 2: thought it was a good opportunity to present the next
Speaker 2: PLO series, you know, pending schedule, like, hey, these are
Speaker 2: the dates we're looking at. This is the schedule. Gave
Speaker 2: them the thing. I printed off one flyer and I
Speaker 2: gave it to Yonie. Okay, there's like ten of these
Speaker 2: guys sitting around the table. I give it to Yeanie.
Speaker 2: He starts looking at it and then like elis like
Speaker 2: what's that? And they all start going what's that? What's that?
Speaker 2: And then they all stand behind Yearnie to look at this,
Speaker 2: this temporary schedule. They're all like into it. They're like, oh,
Speaker 2: this looks good. This looks good. And then the first
Speaker 2: question was are you going to do this one hundred
Speaker 2: a k next year? And I was like, yeah, of
Speaker 2: course no, and they go no, no, in March, can
Speaker 2: we have two a year? I was like, you guys,
Speaker 2: are you guys are signal?
Speaker 1: We saw what happened with the mixed games. When the
Speaker 1: players push for something. Yeah, listen the players and put
Speaker 1: all players out there. I love you, guys, but oftentimes
Speaker 1: you don't know what is best for you, okay, and
Speaker 1: you think you do and then at backfires.
Speaker 2: Okay, So just if any play pool that could support
Speaker 2: two hundred k's, it's these European Sikos from Finland.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, sure, but I mean yeah, but that group
Speaker 1: specifically will yes, but like you know, we we did
Speaker 1: see some people that didn't show off that you know what,
Speaker 1: would probably will tell you otherwise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: So this event is for sure on next year, it
Speaker 1: sounds like, but the same same time slot back half
Speaker 1: of the year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Personally, you know how I feel all the super higher
Speaker 1: rollables should be looped together. We should make a series
Speaker 1: out of it at the studio in Vegas, not in Cyprus.
Speaker 1: That's what I would do. So that's my uh, that's
Speaker 1: my contribution to the UH, to the feedback ben Market Town.
Speaker 1: It's it's been you should permission put it to the
Speaker 1: top because it's coming from me.
Speaker 2: Okay, extra credit, got it extra weight to the Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: So Davies I mentioned is up to third now on
Speaker 1: the PGT leader board to eighteen hundred and fifty five points.
Speaker 1: He has nine cashes, three victories, so he's firmly in
Speaker 1: the top forty where he's going to qualify by the
Speaker 1: end of the year for that PGT Championship million dollar
Speaker 1: free roll. Jeremy Osmas is still up on top. We
Speaker 1: mentioned him earlier as he was the bubble boy for
Speaker 1: Super High Rollable PLO. Osmas is still on top with
Speaker 1: his twenty seven hundred and eighty nine points, twenty five
Speaker 1: cashes and one win. Finally got that win during the
Speaker 1: PGT PLO series. Tim and I talked about that on
Speaker 1: the last episode of the podcast.
Speaker 2: What do you got for?
Speaker 1: You know, noteworthy positions on the leaderboard? I think Aria
Speaker 1: moved up, solverll moved up, Winter moved up. How are
Speaker 1: things shaping out as a result of Super High Rollable PLO?
Speaker 2: I think the two interesting ones to me personally, of
Speaker 2: the two finish guys that only play on Maha, you know,
Speaker 2: Samoui Sapilia and Elias Passinian. They're now in the top
Speaker 2: forty and when you take into account the eligibility, they're
Speaker 2: kind of pretty high up there. So they're not going
Speaker 2: to have any chances to add any more points. You know,
Speaker 2: they've kind of made it pretty clear they won't be
Speaker 2: playing any of the hold them So will they hold on?
Speaker 2: You know, will they make the trip just for one event?
Speaker 2: You know, a free roll? You know, that's kind of
Speaker 2: interesting me. You see a lot of you saw a
Speaker 2: lot of people kind of move up within striking distance
Speaker 2: of the top forty, you know, such as Matt Wantman.
Speaker 2: You know, you know Ronald Kaiser that's moved up to
Speaker 2: fifty fifth place. You know, Nacho Ribero fifty seven, Briceki
Speaker 2: fifty eighth. You got these people moving up. Now we
Speaker 2: have twelve events left. Are we going to see? You know,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty confident we're going to see Matt Wantman playing
Speaker 2: some events. But you know, those those guys just on
Speaker 2: that fringe, like Nacho, We're going to see Nacho again.
Speaker 2: We're going to see Bryce. We're going to see you know,
Speaker 2: Ronald is he going to get his way down to Texas?
Speaker 2: Because we know he's going to try and so they're
Speaker 2: the kind of ones I'm more interested about, like not
Speaker 2: as much the no limit hold them guys to see
Speaker 2: kind of who's going to try and make that push
Speaker 2: to qualify.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's going to be interesting, you know,
Speaker 1: especially with all these guys who don't have the three
Speaker 1: cashes yet. You know, if depending on what they do,
Speaker 1: if they ultimately find a third cash to qualify.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's only three people who I'm like,
Speaker 2: there's ten people that are in the top forty that
Speaker 2: don't have that are not eligible yet they need more cashes.
Speaker 2: There's three that I'm confident we're going to see. Jonathan
Speaker 2: to Mayo. I think he's going to be playing the
Speaker 2: Texas events. If not, if he doesn't get anything there,
Speaker 2: he's going to play Last Chance because he's just so
Speaker 2: high on that leaderboard. He's six right now. Jordan Griff,
Speaker 2: you know, messaging me, made his way out for the
Speaker 2: first few events of the PLO series. Obviously, doesn't you
Speaker 2: know he lives in Chicago. I expect we'll see him.
Speaker 2: Maybe we see him a Champions Club for Texas the
Speaker 2: PELO roundup, or we may see him for Last Chance
Speaker 2: and he needs one more cash then two hold him.
Speaker 2: Predominan guys Brian Kim and Matthew Lambresh. We saw Matthew
Speaker 2: play every Pokemaster's event, couldn't get that third cash. Assuming
Speaker 2: we'll see him at Last Chance. Brian Kim your friend
Speaker 2: texting you about certain events. I'm sure we'll see him
Speaker 2: at Last Chance. If not, maybe even napt but definitely
Speaker 2: last Chance. So they're the four. I'm kind of watching
Speaker 2: the other guys. You know that they're not really kind
Speaker 2: of we haven't really heard much from them, seen them anywhere,
Speaker 2: so I feel like they're not even going to make
Speaker 2: an attempt to get that second or third cash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nicholas Austev aka Leena nine hundred has two cashes.
Speaker 1: He's currently in eighteenth place points wise, but he still
Speaker 1: needs that third cash. I would guess we don't see him.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't envision him traveling to the
Speaker 1: States to chase one cash. Yeah, but who knows. Maybe,
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen some crazier things. Of course, Jason
Speaker 1: Segel Andres Gonzales and Malo Latinwall each have one. I
Speaker 1: would guess they're not going to be chasing it. I
Speaker 1: would have thought, you know, having only one cash and
Speaker 1: needing to you know, we would have heard from them already, right, So,
Speaker 1: I mean Segel is what is the American He's American writer,
Speaker 1: Canadian one one of the other. I mean, he's obviously
Speaker 1: close enough that he could travel here. You know, he
Speaker 1: could have been here for Masters, et cetera. And then
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just unaware of Gonzalez and Lats and Wall,
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of what they'll be doing if
Speaker 1: they're going to try and push for it and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Eli Nakash, I guess I'm a little bit surprised we
Speaker 1: didn't see him for PLO, So knowing that and he's
Speaker 1: the PLO guy, then I'm guessing we don't see him
Speaker 1: at all. I agree with you on Lamb Breck, I
Speaker 1: agree with you on Kim, I agree with you on Griff,
Speaker 1: and I also agree with you on Tomorrow. You know,
Speaker 1: I think Tomorrow will probably ultimately get that cash at
Speaker 1: the Texas PLO Round Up Series. So see, I mean
Speaker 1: it's it's a tight race to get into the top forty.
Speaker 1: It's interesting to see how it all shakes out right outside.
Speaker 1: You mentioned him already forty second play with Matthew Wantman.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm surprised being and see him in the
Speaker 1: hundred K, you know, because he was coming off a
Speaker 1: series win. He was the series champion of the PGTPO series,
Speaker 1: so I thought he would have parlayed some of those
Speaker 1: winnings into that event, even if he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: take all of himself in one hundred K. I totally
Speaker 1: get it. But you're coming off such success, you're hot
Speaker 1: as heck, you sell some action, right, you can easily
Speaker 1: get in there of course Steven Chidwick's been going through
Speaker 1: a move. He's someone who would have been in there,
Speaker 1: you know, as he was last year. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: so we'll see how things go. Shortbreak here, we need
Speaker 1: to thank a couple more sponsors. First up, thanks to
Speaker 1: the World Poker Tour who are putting on an incredible

Speaker 1: to get in there and wager calsh dot com slash
Speaker 1: poker Go the rest of the pg T season. First up,
Speaker 1: I mentioned it a little bit earlier because thanks to
Speaker 1: our sponsor Poker Stars napt Las Vegas. We have an
Speaker 1: APT Las Vegas coming up in November one through tenth
Speaker 1: at Resorts World. It includes two PGT qualifying events. So
Speaker 1: November four through six we have the twenty five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars Super high Roller, and then November eighth through tenth
Speaker 1: we have the ten thousand, three hundred dollars High Roller.
Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts on what to expect from this.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing we're gonna see kind of like all the
Speaker 1: similar PGT no limit guys that we saw for like
Speaker 1: the Poker Masters probably play this.
Speaker 2: I guess the first thing, are people going to go
Speaker 2: to try and or stay home or not home but
Speaker 2: come to Vegas instead. We see a lot of our
Speaker 2: guys traveling right now. I feel like they've been traveling
Speaker 2: and then they're coming back for this. You look at
Speaker 2: poker Stike, you see they've got action listed. I think
Speaker 2: we're going to get pretty big numbers in both the
Speaker 2: twenty five k and the ten K high roll or
Speaker 2: events at NAPT It's just a question of are we
Speaker 2: going to get some international guys. Are we going to
Speaker 2: get some package win as gold past winners. Are we
Speaker 2: going to get some people taking shots, you know, like
Speaker 2: the people that normally only play three k's, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Are they going to, you know, take a shot in
Speaker 2: the ten k or take a shot in a twenty
Speaker 2: five K. I think that's gonna kind of see how
Speaker 2: the numbers gure. But yeah, I don't I say it
Speaker 2: being pretty successful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking guys like Shannon Shore, Sam Laskowitz,
Speaker 1: you know, probably be in there. You know, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: predict that those guys go to Triton. I believe I
Speaker 1: heard Jeremy Osmas and Nick Shulman talking, maybe not to
Speaker 1: each other, but at times saying that they're both not
Speaker 1: going to Triton this time around. So I would guess
Speaker 1: that they're going to be in these events. You mentioned
Speaker 1: the listings on poker steak dot com. I see Cherish Andrews,
Speaker 1: who just won an event at the win for around
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty K. Brock Wilson. Her boyfriend got third.
Speaker 1: They were part of a three way deal. She's got
Speaker 1: action listed for these two PGT events. Victoria Liftschitz has
Speaker 1: action listed for these two events. Stephen Song has action
Speaker 1: listed for these two events. David Coleman that's a good one.
Speaker 1: You know, he might have been someone I might have said,
Speaker 1: there's a good chance he maybe heads over to Triton,
Speaker 1: but does not look like it because he has action
Speaker 1: listed to the twenty five K. Brock Wilson, who I
Speaker 1: just met, he's got action listed to that twenty five
Speaker 1: k as well. Around Zobian he's got action listed. Oh,
Speaker 1: Donnie Peters, Oh he doesn't have action listed to the
Speaker 1: twenty five K. Maybe I should list the action to
Speaker 1: the twenty five one. You never know, you never know, right,
Speaker 1: But I do have action listed to the fifty three
Speaker 1: hundred dollars NAPT main event. Who else we got Jonathan
Speaker 1: Little action listed? So yeah, I mean there's a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of players who have action listed to
Speaker 1: these events. Keywin also has action listed on there, So yeah,
Speaker 1: Pope resteake dot com if you want to pick up
Speaker 1: some of those actions. But it is able to give
Speaker 1: Tim and I an idea of who's going to play.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like those are going to be some
Speaker 1: pretty good events. I know the players have been, you know,
Speaker 1: asking us what counts for the PGT, what doesn't count
Speaker 1: for the PGT? Coming up for the Remainder of the season.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of them, especially the Vegas based guys,
Speaker 1: are happy that these two napt events do count. So
Speaker 1: it does allow them some opportunities to get some points
Speaker 1: and hopefully push toward or get into the top forty.
Speaker 1: So that's what's coming up immediately again. ANAPT Las Vegas
Speaker 1: does run November one through tenth. These two events specifically
Speaker 1: twenty five K Super high Roller November fourth through sixth
Speaker 1: and the ten thousand and three hundred dollars high Roller
Speaker 1: of November eighth through tenth. Not sure if they're going
Speaker 1: to be streaming them. I know they streamed some of
Speaker 1: the stuff last year in addition to the main event,
Speaker 1: of course, so I guess TBD on that, but if
Speaker 1: they do, it'll be available on the various Poker Stars channels.
Speaker 1: After that, the PGT heads on down to Texas the
Speaker 1: lone Star stage for the Texas PLO Roundup. We're back
Speaker 1: to PLO Baby November sixteenth through twenty fifth. That series
Speaker 1: includes four PGT qualifying events. Of course, the headliner is,
Speaker 1: as far as I can tell, the biggest guarantee for
Speaker 1: a potlam in Omaha tournament ever, the thirty three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars main event comes with a million dollars guarante. I
Speaker 1: think I heard Alex Livingston say that he's going.
Speaker 2: He is going there you go.
Speaker 1: So he was on the broadcast alongside Rimko rinkim on
Speaker 1: Brent Hanks for the Super High rollerble pl great stuff
Speaker 1: by the way. From Alex Livingston, he said he's going
Speaker 1: to be heading on down to Champions Club in Texas.
Speaker 2: You know who else is going?
Speaker 1: Who's that?
Speaker 2: My waive of why I pick up?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: I forgot to talk talk about this, Adam Hendricks. I
Speaker 1: skipped this, by the way. We can talk about it
Speaker 1: right after we get into these these events. Because I'm
Speaker 1: an idiot. It's my fault. I mean, I have it
Speaker 1: right here on the rundown. I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Adam Hendris will be there, Yes, I know. We touched
Speaker 1: on Jonathan Tomayo. He does live in the Houston area,
Speaker 1: so he'll be heading on over there. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: guessing these are going to be great, great stops. Who
Speaker 1: else do we get a Sean Deep? Do we get
Speaker 1: a Josh are you I know they went last time?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I know?
Speaker 1: Actually possibly, do we get a Jeremy Osmas.
Speaker 2: No, he told me he wasn't going. He has a
Speaker 2: like family. Something planned, got it. So I ducked him
Speaker 2: five hundred points on the leaderboard and.
Speaker 1: He's still in first place. Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: But now it's close enough where he might have to come.
Speaker 1: You don't need to dark of a few more. He
Speaker 1: wants to. He wants to feel the pressure. Not only
Speaker 1: does that thirty three hundred dollars main events count towards
Speaker 1: the PGT, but there are three fifty po high rollers.
Speaker 1: What are the details that we need to know about this, sir,
Speaker 1: other than the food that everyone talks.
Speaker 2: Oh, wait to some steaks. I'm going to be there.
Speaker 2: I'm going. I'm going extra early so i can have
Speaker 2: extra steaks. But the three high rollers different to last year.
Speaker 2: These are all one day events. They start a little
Speaker 2: later in the evening. They'll you know, finish two three am.
Speaker 2: We had pretty good numbers for the plow high rollers
Speaker 2: at the last one. The first five k we did
Speaker 2: at one hundred and five entrants. That was won by
Speaker 2: Bradley Rubin for one hundred and fifteen k. He did
Speaker 2: a chop heads up. Second one we had thirty eight entrants,
Speaker 2: one by local legend. David cannot pronounce his name as
Speaker 2: we're a love Mazar love. Either way, he had a
Speaker 2: pretty amazing series down there, cashing five times so in
Speaker 2: PGT events. So yeah, that's the biggest change. They're all
Speaker 2: one day events, three of them. They're all five k's.
Speaker 2: Gives players an opportunity on the later stages of the
Speaker 2: day one flights and then day two to play a
Speaker 2: high roller, pick up some extra PGT points, and make
Speaker 2: a push to qualify for the PGG Championship if they
Speaker 2: haven't already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean everyone talks about champions Club being absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2: We're going to get you down there for the next
Speaker 2: Texas Poker Open in some capacity.
Speaker 1: I want to start taking a poker trip every single year.
Speaker 2: Texas it is. I see.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing though about Texas. It needs to be
Speaker 1: a family friendly location. Why because I think I would
Speaker 1: bring the family.
Speaker 2: No, that's the terrible decision. And they like, for.
Speaker 1: Example, Seminal hard Rock would be great because I could
Speaker 1: be like, wifey, go do your thing. You're in South Florida,
Speaker 1: you can go to the beach, you can do whatever,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. You know, take the kids. All that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff, and then I can just go play
Speaker 1: the poker, right, I mean not not, I mean maybe
Speaker 1: that can happen in Houston.
Speaker 2: I'm not that You're right. It's not the best family
Speaker 2: friendly location. It's a very much a location.
Speaker 1: But hey, maybe maybe now that said, maybe the fact
Speaker 1: that we have a partnership with Champions CUB allows me
Speaker 1: to skip that part because the reason why I'm mainly
Speaker 1: doing that is that it helps me justify the financial
Speaker 1: cost of going there, like in just paying a flight
Speaker 1: in a hotel to go play a poke German, because
Speaker 1: that's essentially more rake if your.
Speaker 2: Business expense were talking about it's a business trip.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not my business.
Speaker 2: No, we'll send up some meetings, We'll set us some means.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we can do that. Maybe, you know, if
Speaker 1: if they hooked us up with some good rooms and Champions,
Speaker 1: then I'm in right, you know, so so yeah, so
Speaker 1: I would love to get on down there. Of course,
Speaker 1: I hear it's incredible, and you know, I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: willing to go for for PLO because I just think
Speaker 1: that I'll be dead money. Even though I hear some
Speaker 1: of the stuff about these PLO things and I'd probably
Speaker 1: be a favorite in some of these fields because it
Speaker 1: sounds it sounds insane. But yeah, for the for the
Speaker 1: Texas hold them, for the hold them stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: I definitely want to get down there, so hopefully I'll
Speaker 1: be able to do that. Then it's, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of some downtime. What five or six weeks without
Speaker 1: PGT events? Bummer? I hate it, Commission, I hate it. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you know how I feel. PGT events every single month
Speaker 1: is my stance. I also put that in the feedback box.
Speaker 1: You can put that. But we do have PGT Last Chance,
Speaker 1: the popular PGT Last Chance coming up January second through eighth.
Speaker 1: I know we're going to get the news out to
Speaker 1: the is this week about this, so there's there's a
Speaker 1: chance maybe you're hearing it on this episode for the
Speaker 1: first time. But but yeah, what have you got cooked
Speaker 1: up for this series? I know the players last year,
Speaker 1: I think they loved it from everything that I can tell.
Speaker 1: So you're running it back? What's it going to be?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had great numbers last year, pretty much averaged
Speaker 2: HI eighties early low nineties for all these Turbo ten ks,
Speaker 2: they're all one day events. Last year we're streaming late
Speaker 2: at night. We're going to change that event. Start at
Speaker 2: one pm, playdown on the final table, come back twelve
Speaker 2: o'clock the next day. We're going to stream that on
Speaker 2: poker Goo six events. Like I said, all ten thousand
Speaker 2: dollars buy ins. Key here is that this is obviously
Speaker 2: the last chance to qualify for the million dollar free roll.
Speaker 2: But if you don't qualify, if you don't make that
Speaker 2: top forty eligible list, we're giving away three dream seats
Speaker 2: to those highest ranked players that don't qualify. So last
Speaker 2: year it was Sam Lasquitz and the Stefano won two
Speaker 2: dream seats, one each. This year we're opping it. We're
Speaker 2: going to three dream seats, give players more of a
Speaker 2: chance to sneak in, giving them more value to come.
Speaker 2: So like, hey, if you're a Brian Kimman need one cash,
Speaker 2: you don't, you know, this year opportunity to get it.
Speaker 2: If you're player that's never played one of our events,
Speaker 2: you can still get any by topping the leaderboard. So
Speaker 2: it's a pretty good incentive for the for the players,
Speaker 2: rewarding the players that have played our events but you know,
Speaker 2: haven't got enough points, and also giving you know, a
Speaker 2: new a newcomer, the chance to qualify for the free roll.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that that's just great stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know the players really liked it. They
Speaker 1: were obviously out there battling a ton. I'll never forget
Speaker 1: some coffee Sidney at the bar, Yeah, sweating that that
Speaker 1: entry as the fortieth place person, but he ultimately fell short.
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll get some fun sweats like that again.
Speaker 1: The fact that we are going to be streaming it
Speaker 1: right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that just makes
Speaker 1: it more fun, you know, being able to talk about
Speaker 1: it on the streams, really sweat it out, see how
Speaker 1: it's all gonna play down. And then even you know,
Speaker 1: for those like you said that are in the top forty,
Speaker 1: the points count for more chips, so there's incentive to
Speaker 1: get in there in battle. Also maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: of a warm up before you do head into that
Speaker 1: PGT Championship million dollar free role. So that's everything that's
Speaker 1: happening on the PGD. Of course, PGT dot Com is
Speaker 1: where you can find all things related to the Poker
Speaker 1: vro Tour articles, you know, news, winter stories, recaps, all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. You got the schedule, you have
Speaker 1: the leaderboard. You have live reporting when it's happening. So
Speaker 1: PGT dot com. All right, I skipped it earlier, got
Speaker 1: a recap quickly the state of our little fantasy competition
Speaker 1: right now. So after the PGTPLO series, you had drafted Jousamot.
Speaker 1: He had no cash, so he was eligible for you
Speaker 1: to drop him. You did, so you picked up Adam Hendrix.
Speaker 1: You also banked on a what was it fifth place finish?
Speaker 1: Fourth place finish from fifth place finish?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you updated the stats then.
Speaker 1: No, No, I did on I did on here. You
Speaker 1: only you only picked up a little bit of stuff.
Speaker 1: Or wait, maybe I did.
Speaker 2: Wait you I don't think you did. I definitely have
Speaker 2: one more cash, right.
Speaker 1: You should have sixteen cashes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should have moved.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I one thousand percent did it on here, and
Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't save it because I
Speaker 1: also did it on my little spreadsheet that I have
Speaker 1: on the side that tells me where everything stands. So
Speaker 1: I don't know why that didn't take could be because
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: On sright, I'm going to I'm going to come back
Speaker 2: and win all of these anyway, So that's fine, that's right,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 1: You have sixteen cashes, but the points are right, So
Speaker 1: points are I still have the twelve hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 1: Tim has one and twenty five. Okay, so your two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty points behind easy. But you know, obviously
Speaker 1: a lot of big stuff happening coming up wins. It's
Speaker 1: still two to one in favor of you. You got
Speaker 1: to win from Jeremy Osmas and a win from Dylan
Speaker 1: Wiseman during the PGTPO series. I got the only win
Speaker 1: that I have from Daniel Legrono, and then cash is. Yes,
Speaker 1: you did earn an extra one to get up to sixteen,
Speaker 1: but I'm still in the lead with twenty one. Now
Speaker 1: I might be shit out of luck going forward. I
Speaker 1: have no idea how many of my guys are going
Speaker 1: to Texas. I'm pretty sure a few of them aren't
Speaker 1: going to Texas. So I think you're probably in a
Speaker 1: better position when it comes to Texas than I am.
Speaker 1: Just as a reminder, I have Elis Barson and Daniel
Speaker 1: Legann and Bryce Jockey, Alex FX and Sean Troja, Jesse Lawrenson,
Speaker 1: Nick Schulman on my team. You have Jeremy Osmus, josh Aria,
Speaker 1: Jim Callaby, Dylan Wiseman, Ron Kaiser, You had Jousamal, you
Speaker 1: took him off and you put in Adam Hendricks, and
Speaker 1: then you also have Alan Lee. So I think you're
Speaker 1: probably a favorite to get more volume out of Texas,
Speaker 1: although if Ozma says he's not going, then I think
Speaker 1: it might be closer to even.
Speaker 2: I mean, I still like your spot. You have Fox
Speaker 2: and Lonus and Shulman for the for the n apt
Speaker 2: and that's that's a pretty strong threesome, right thing.
Speaker 1: The fox are going to Tryton. I know Kristen Foxon
Speaker 1: has action listed for Triton on Poker Steak. Yes, I
Speaker 1: did say that, So I'm guessing they're going together, would
Speaker 1: be my guest.
Speaker 2: So maybe you got to You gotta hope she doesn't
Speaker 2: sell enough then they may stay.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know she didn't. She just went
Speaker 1: another bracelet the other day.
Speaker 2: Yeah excited. Hey, Yeah, So they.
Speaker 1: Probably don't need to sell the action. They're probably just
Speaker 1: doing it for brand building. I'm not really gonna sit
Speaker 1: sit here and say that, you know, the Foxes need
Speaker 1: to sell money or to sell action. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: status of things.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I like your side at the PGT Texas Poker Texas
Speaker 1: PLO round Up. I should say I'm banking on h
Speaker 1: I'm banking on one person. That's Sean Troja. I have
Speaker 1: no idea if he's going to Texas, but I really.
Speaker 2: Hope he is.
Speaker 1: I really, really really hope he is. All right, So
Speaker 1: I teased it at the beginning. I saw on an
Speaker 1: article on pokernews dot com that the rumors are at
Speaker 1: the Ouzie millions is coming back and it's coming back
Speaker 1: in April.
Speaker 2: Okay, what what do you know?
Speaker 1: You're the resident of Australian here, what do you know?
Speaker 1: What can you tell me?
Speaker 2: I know nothing. This is news to me. April terrible
Speaker 2: time to do it. So I mean, what's the.
Speaker 1: What's the I mean, you would know what's the weather
Speaker 1: like in Melbourne in April.
Speaker 2: It's similar to what it is in Vegas right now.
Speaker 2: You know it's like getting cold, but it's not it's
Speaker 2: not horrible. I just the way I look at this
Speaker 2: is what kind of audience are they catering for? Are
Speaker 2: they catering just for Australians? Because if they are, then
Speaker 2: they should just slought it they think is best. And
Speaker 2: if that's April. That's April if they want to attract
Speaker 2: the international contingent of players that used to always frequent
Speaker 2: the ARS millions post PCA. I don't think April is
Speaker 2: a good time. You know here in the States we
Speaker 2: have a lot going on. Europe's got a lot going on.
Speaker 2: You don't have the draw like you did in January
Speaker 2: where you had the great weather the Australia, you know,
Speaker 2: the tennis cricket for those British people coming. So I
Speaker 2: would say April is not good if they care about
Speaker 2: the international contingent. So I guess yeah, if it depends
Speaker 2: who's kind of running it and what their goal is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but April used to be that the Melbourne Poker Championships,
Speaker 2: I believe, or April May so. Hey, the fact that
Speaker 2: they're talking about it is good. Obviously poker in Australia
Speaker 2: is on the way up. You see all these events
Speaker 2: from like the APO to the APL just absolutely crushing.
Speaker 2: So I think Australia is prime for another big series
Speaker 2: bringing back the millions, a very iconic tour that we've
Speaker 2: been to numera times. Yeah, I'm all down for it.
Speaker 2: I think yes, yes to whenever it is, but I
Speaker 2: think they should maybe spend a bit more time thinking
Speaker 2: about dates.
Speaker 1: So I just pulled up the article over on pokernews
Speaker 1: dot com, written by Will Schilbeier, who is reporting on
Speaker 1: the news that came from the Poker Pulse podcast, which
Speaker 1: is hosted by Craig Abernethy. He's also on the show
Speaker 1: with Troy McLean and then Troy McLean was the one
Speaker 1: who broke the news, I guess, and it's quoted in
Speaker 1: the article as he said, I had heard on the
Speaker 1: grapevine that it would be returning next year, but it's
Speaker 1: been confirmed now. It's very exciting stuff after APO, which
Speaker 1: is the Australian Poker Open. I've heard there was a
Speaker 1: rumor that it might not be an Australian ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars main, that it might be an Ozzie dollars eight
Speaker 1: thousand Maine, but that's a rumor at the moment.
Speaker 2: Terrible Brian, just make a five? Can you're not going
Speaker 2: to do a ten? Do five?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It's a little weird, but I wonder if that
Speaker 1: tracks similar to what the WPT just did. What did
Speaker 1: they do? What was their buying? Wasn't it kind of weird?
Speaker 1: Like seven thousand or something like that, So it kind
Speaker 1: of aligned with like a five k us is I
Speaker 1: think what they were trying to do.
Speaker 2: I just see it as the ausy million's main event,
Speaker 2: an iconic main event has been ten k for for
Speaker 2: like twenty years. Like, I don't think you need to audible.
Speaker 2: I don't think you need to bend to the market.
Speaker 2: You can bring the market up to you. And like
Speaker 2: if we look at previous years, they used to get
Speaker 2: eight hundreds, Like the last few years I had, you know,
Speaker 2: eight hundred plus players. They're probably not going to get
Speaker 2: eight hundred plus players a ten K, but you get
Speaker 2: a five hundred player ten k. I think that's a
Speaker 2: good a good target. If you run an extensive satellite program,
Speaker 2: you have enough time. Yeah, keep it ten k, don't
Speaker 2: come down, keep it up.
Speaker 1: So the WPT Australia event that was just won by
Speaker 1: James Ops, Tim and I talked about her a couple
Speaker 1: episodes ago, that was eight thous and Australian dollars for
Speaker 1: the buying. So my guess is there just aligning with that.
Speaker 1: I would say, be your own thing, especially at this
Speaker 1: price point. You know, standout is like the largest pover
Speaker 1: tournament in the in the Southern Hemisphere. I mean that
Speaker 1: was always the Australian poll.
Speaker 2: How many Americans do you think play that WPT event?
Speaker 2: That's the that's the answer.
Speaker 1: I mean, we know that there was a decent number
Speaker 1: of people.
Speaker 2: I bet you could count them on two hands.
Speaker 1: I mean sure, but I mean, but like you looking at.
Speaker 2: The wrong market, you need you need to focus on
Speaker 2: the market that's the biggest play pool, which is Melbourne players,
Speaker 2: Sydney players and then the rest of Australia and then international.
Speaker 2: If you build it, the international guys will come. And
Speaker 2: to get international guys. You want that ten k price point,
Speaker 2: you know that's that's going to be like six and
Speaker 2: a half k US, right if if it's a re
Speaker 2: entry and you know, okay, that's fine, it's a perfect number.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess also along those lines of the
Speaker 1: drawing international players, I would go back to the the
Speaker 1: point in the schedule. I mean, it was such a
Speaker 1: draw for people to go to the Australian Open. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as like a lot of these big players, they obviously
Speaker 1: liked the ten k price point, they liked all the
Speaker 1: twenty five k challenges, the fifty k Challenge, one hundred
Speaker 1: K challenge, and then when they had the tour and
Speaker 1: fifty K challenge, right, they loved all the big buying
Speaker 1: stuff that you could get. They also loved heading over
Speaker 1: to Rod Labor Arena to watch the Aussie Open, like
Speaker 1: you know, so it was all that same thing. So
Speaker 1: you're not going to get that in April. I have
Speaker 1: no idea what goes on in Australia in April.
Speaker 2: The biggest problem with April if you're trying to attract
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know whin in April. April's you know,
Speaker 2: thirty days. You're starting April, Well, you're starting April with
Speaker 2: the end of you know, LPLO series, you have a
Speaker 2: seminal Poker Showdown, you have US Poker Open is in Vegas,
Speaker 2: you have WPT Choctaw. April's a very and then you
Speaker 2: know you're going to go into potential Texas event. You
Speaker 2: have trying on the backside in May. It's a very
Speaker 2: condensed schedule in April and May.
Speaker 1: And it might also be too close to the DIVI wipe.
Speaker 2: That's an another factor too. Now if I was them,
Speaker 2: I would say keep it in January. Maybe talk to
Speaker 2: the PGT about figuring it out. But I would look,
Speaker 2: I was going to say to you, you need to
Speaker 2: get on the horn already. I emailed them eight months
Speaker 2: and what.
Speaker 1: I would say to them is I would say I
Speaker 1: would announce it for a return January twenty twenty six. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then basically massive satellite promotion all year, like all year.
Speaker 1: Now according to the Poker Pulse podcast and McLean, they
Speaker 1: have started to run satellites he heard, and in the
Speaker 1: next month they're going to run six to seven seats.
Speaker 2: Why would you run satellites for an event that's not
Speaker 2: even announced. It doesn't make sense to me. That seems like.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, So I don't know. I mean, let's let's
Speaker 1: see if we can talk to some people down there
Speaker 1: and get a little bit more firm reporting on this,
Speaker 1: because obviously, you know, we're going off of pokernews dot
Speaker 1: com is writing based on what they heard for Poker
Speaker 1: Paul's podcast. So yeah, and it doesn't sound like you've
Speaker 1: heard anything, not that you're necessarily talking to people at
Speaker 1: Crown or whatever, but you know, you obviously have friends
Speaker 1: that are poker players that are in Melbourne. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you know, I thought maybe there's a chance that you
Speaker 1: had heard something, but obviously not. So we'll see if
Speaker 1: we can dig some stuff up and how it goes.
Speaker 1: I freaking love the Aussie millions. It was the best stop.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people loved it. But I
Speaker 1: think from an international sense, you know, of drawing the
Speaker 1: international players in. Everyone of the international players that I'm
Speaker 1: friends with that I've talked with over the years, they
Speaker 1: have all said that they always went down there for
Speaker 1: essentially two reasons. One love Crown, love Australia, love like
Speaker 1: that time of the year, right, that's kind of on
Speaker 1: like one bucket. The other side is the tournament was
Speaker 1: incredible value. Incredible value because of the massive satellites that
Speaker 1: Crown would run essentially all year, like pumping up the
Speaker 1: numbers and getting these locals into this tournament, like just
Speaker 1: NonStop satellite, satellite satellite. So they should definitely really make
Speaker 1: a big push there. And I think that you know,
Speaker 1: if you come out and you announce, hey, this is
Speaker 1: happening in January twenty twenty six, this is our satellite
Speaker 1: plan all year long. We're going to be qualifying I
Speaker 1: don't know, three hundred people and whatever the number is,
Speaker 1: and go from there. I think I think you can
Speaker 1: really do well in its return. It's going to be
Speaker 1: hard in the return. I think you saw a little
Speaker 1: bit of that with the return of the napt You know,
Speaker 1: they had gone away for so long, they came back
Speaker 1: and it was good.
Speaker 2: But was it what it was?
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, probably not. This year is
Speaker 1: probably going to be a little bit more. But I
Speaker 1: think you can close that gap of trying to build
Speaker 1: something back up by just really coming out and swinging
Speaker 1: big with sallite. You also, you know, of course, you
Speaker 1: need to get the word out. You know, you need
Speaker 1: to get people talking about this, get the news out,
Speaker 1: get the schedule out there, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: And I agree with you. Ten k is the price point.
Speaker 1: I think it works. You can fill the schedule around
Speaker 1: it with all the smaller buying stuff, you know, the
Speaker 1: sixteen fifty accumulator, you know, the one case this is
Speaker 1: that like they always did a really good job of
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So I think you can fill
Speaker 1: the schedule around it with plenty of things. And I
Speaker 1: think you can set yourself apart again be that you know,
Speaker 1: biggest Spoka tournament in the Southern Hemisphere and go from there,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be trying to find out a little
Speaker 1: bit more on this. Always a big Ausie Millions fan,
Speaker 1: so you know, I hope that this is true, and
Speaker 1: I hope it does come to fruition, and I hope
Speaker 1: it's successful. You know, I think that this was always
Speaker 1: one of the majors, right this was It was WSP
Speaker 1: main event, It was like the EBT Grand Final, it
Speaker 1: was WSP Europe and it was this like I mean
Speaker 1: like that was like one of the one of the four.
Speaker 1: Always hopefully it comes back and comes back in a
Speaker 1: big way. So let's go. We need to get on
Speaker 1: the horn, figure it out, make it happen. Would you go,
Speaker 1: would you return to.
Speaker 2: Australia in this April twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1: That that also seems a little bit close to be
Speaker 1: able to It's we're recording this on October twenty ninth,
Speaker 1: so it's about to be November. So I don't think
Speaker 1: you can just announce this and like expect a lot
Speaker 1: of numbers to come. I think this is the type
Speaker 1: of trip where I know poker players are obvious notorious for,
Speaker 1: you know, not planning things in advance, but when it
Speaker 1: involves something like going to Australia, They're probably gonna want
Speaker 1: to plan a little bit in advance, or at least
Speaker 1: know a little bit more about what's going to be expected.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I would I would just, for lack
Speaker 1: of a better term, punt it to January twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: And you and I have also talked about in the past.
Speaker 1: January is like just open, right, Like that's like a
Speaker 1: month for the taking. Still, we obviously have the war
Speaker 1: between WPT and w C December, so I think, you know,
Speaker 1: you can capitalize on January still, Like, I don't think
Speaker 1: there's a ton going on in January, at least currently
Speaker 1: that that would take too much away from, you know,
Speaker 1: the return of the Ozzie millions if that return is
Speaker 1: done right and they really do blow it out.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you've done right. It's the key.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So all right? Cool? Uh? You got anything else?
Speaker 2: No good?
Speaker 1: We're out of here.
Speaker 2: Right to win an napt something?
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 2: I want to go win somebody an napt Oh are.
Speaker 1: You going to go play? They're having satellites this week.
Speaker 2: I played my satellite.
Speaker 1: How did it was that a satellite that you were in?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You sent me a photo of Tim sent me a photo.
Speaker 1: He texted me a photo of Resorts World chips. I
Speaker 1: didn't know if you were there for the Nightly or whatever.
Speaker 2: No, I it was the first satellite they ran. It
Speaker 2: was on a Sunday two seat guarantee. They needed twenty
Speaker 2: eight players. I was like so confident they were going
Speaker 2: to overlay. I turned up, like I was looking at
Speaker 2: the clock. I turned up on the buzzer that an
Speaker 2: eight player overlay. So then they had twenty entrants for
Speaker 2: two seats.
Speaker 1: I mean, so if you're in Vegas, you better get
Speaker 1: your ass there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then obviously yesterday they did a little better.
Speaker 2: I haven't checked today's but yeah, I'll be there.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know what it is with these satellites
Speaker 1: in Vegas because we for the PGT, the PLO series
Speaker 1: ones like were not that great, you know, so I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's. Part of me says that, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like the the Vegas crowd isn't used to
Speaker 1: satellites like in a weird way.
Speaker 2: I mean, are they I don't have an answer. It's
Speaker 2: very You can blame a lot of things. You can
Speaker 2: blame promotion, you can blame timing like some day Sunday
Speaker 2: during football season is not ideal. You know, that was
Speaker 2: the issue we had with the Plois series as well.
Speaker 2: But maybe it's just the people in Vegas like the
Speaker 2: They're just not going to bother with satellites. They're just
Speaker 2: going to direct buy into a five K Maine. There's
Speaker 2: two people that played the satellite. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: name their names, but I would expect to be in
Speaker 2: the main event regardless.
Speaker 1: So why can't you name names.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to name names.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was in town, I would have
Speaker 1: been in the satellites, and I'm planning I'm playing the
Speaker 1: main event anyway. Yeah whatever, I mean, I don't like
Speaker 1: I can get in there for cheap whatever. It's what
Speaker 1: was what's the buy in for the four hundred? Yeah four?
Speaker 1: Either either I'm going to spend fifty four hundred or
Speaker 1: fifty seven hundred dollars, right, or what's the difference there?
Speaker 1: That's not that's not the big of a difference fifty
Speaker 1: three or fifty seven, you know, Or I have a
Speaker 1: shot to turn that four hundred into fifty three hundred
