All right, Super High rollerbrol PLO, which 108 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:19.800 was presented by Vision gto trainer Seth Davies, is the 109 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.920 champion one point five million in Davies's pockets. He came 110 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.600 back from two big blinds to win it all. If 111 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:33.360 you can believe it, quite the incredible comeback run for 112 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.639 Seth Davies. He tried to bluff Shaan Winter. It didn't work. 113 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.439 He was knocked all the way down into two big blinds, 114 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.120 but a few double ups later, another big pock go 115 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.079 in his way. Next thing you know, Davies is right 116 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.800 back into the thick of it. He eventually goes into 117 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.040 heads up play against Artem Maximov with the chip lead. 118 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.639 I think it was about two to one at the time, 119 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:59.439 maybe a little bit holm. Maximov actually starts closing the gap, 120 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.240 but then a set versus top pair on the flop 121 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:07.160 allowed Davies to extend that chip lead up to more 122 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.079 than three to one, and then from there he never 123 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.800 looked back and shortly finished off Arte Maximoff, who had 124 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.720 a great showing himself second place for nine hundred K. 125 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.120 Seven players did cash in this event from the forty 126 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.839 two entry field SETH Davies first place one point five million, 127 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.759 Arte Maximoff second place, nine hundred K. Sean Winter third place, 128 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.720 six hundred thousand. Jared Blesnik, the defending champion, another very 129 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.560 very deep run in this event, almost defended his title 130 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.720 but ultimately fell in fourth place for four hundred and 131 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.720 fifty thousand dollars. Josh Aria fifth place, three hundred and 132 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.639 thirty thousand dollars, Sam Silverall two hundred and fifty K 133 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.879 for a sixth place finish, and then Ben Tolering, fresh 134 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.160 off his twenty five K win he at the end 135 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.360 of the PGTPLO series, follows that up with a seventh 136 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.160 place finish here for one hundred and seventy K. Jeremy Osmas, 137 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.279 the PGT front runner, he bubbled the tournament so didn't 138 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.759 get his twenty sixth cash of the PGT season, but 139 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.680 you know, still prove that you know he has what 140 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.240 it takes to put himself in position to do well 141 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:18.680 in big tournaments. For Davies, his second Super High Rollerbowl 142 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.279 win in two months time. At the end of August, 143 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.160 he won Super High ROLLERBWL nine over in Cyprus. Tim 144 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.079 was there. He took home just over three point two 145 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.039 million dollars for that, So just over four point seven 146 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.200 million dollars from these two wins for Davies. Just absolutely crushing. 147 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.159 I mean, what are your thoughts on the event? I 148 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.559 know you talked to Davies afterwards, so any takeaways or 149 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.600 actually hold on, let me let's play the Davies interview first, right, 150 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.000 and then I'll get your response. I should I should 151 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.039 do this in correct order. I'm a horrible host. So 152 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.600 first up here is Seth Davies. 153 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.720 Seth Davises, congratulations, second super High Robleball victory. You also 154 00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.559 the third player to win two in the same year, 155 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.039 Justin and Timothy Adams. I want to know for you 156 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.759 which ring is more superior, the no limit hold On 157 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.720 one or this PLO one. They're hard to compare. 158 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.720 It's kind of apples apples to oranges. It's I think 159 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.320 the PLOS is really cool because there's so many guys 160 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.639 from different from a different world kind of come in here. 161 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:18.799 Right. 162 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.480 There's so many players are like cash game pros from 163 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.240 Europe especially, so it's cool. 164 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.159 To have those guys come in here. 165 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.879 It's like a much different world, so I couldn't say 166 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.559 one's better than the other. I think the no limit 167 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.360 means a little more to me because I've been a 168 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:32.559 no him a pro for longer and I was really 169 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.679 hunting a big win like that. 170 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.600 But I mean, I can't can't say no this. Your 171 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.960 two biggest scores have come now in Super High rolla Wall. 172 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.919 You're now twenty third on the Old Time Money List. 173 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.600 For you personally, you know, family man, poker player. Do 174 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.840 you care that much about moving up on this Old 175 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:47.480 Time Money List? 176 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:48.440 Yeah? 177 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.039 I do. I do. 178 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.000 I mean, at the end of the day, making money 179 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.519 is the primary objective, but something like the All Time Money. 180 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:53.840 List, it's it. 181 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.360 It gives you that specifically, it gives you a lot 182 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.200 of validation for what your career is, right because like 183 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.679 nobody just dumbles into like you know, thirty million in 184 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.200 cases or whatever. Somebody can run hot and win like 185 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.840 a ten million dollars main event or something. So it's 186 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.000 a lot of validation to have the longevity to accumulate 187 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:12.519 that much in caches. 188 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.519 So it means a lot to me for sure. We 189 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.600 never really kind of count on you to be in 190 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.440 our PLO events, but you know, you won the twenty 191 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.360 five K in March's PGTPLO series. Now you've won one 192 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.279 hundred k. Are we going to become a PLO specialist? 193 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:25.960 Put you know, throwing No Limit to the side. 194 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.840 No Limits my main my main girl there, she's never 195 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.879 gone anywhere but PLO. I was just talking to our ten, 196 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.279 the guy who got second, about this and how PELO 197 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.879 tournaments are becoming more of a you know or pronounced 198 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.720 part of the high stakes schedule nowadays. You know, you 199 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.639 have a bunch of wsops here at Super high Rollable 200 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.200 now as well as like PGT PLO series, So there's 201 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:48.159 just a lot of PILO. 202 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.799 Tournaments to play now. 203 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.279 So I'm going to be around playing all these for sure. 204 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:53.240 Obviously you're going to spend a lot of time at home, 205 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.159 you know, working on your game, working you know, solvers, 206 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.519 working on No Limit holding. Are you now adding more 207 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.159 PLO to your kind of you know study in preparation. 208 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.120 Yeah, absolutely, I spent a lot of time studying, studying PLOW. 209 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.879 I there's you know, I just don't have millions I 210 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.919 have you know, literally millions of Hands of No Limit 211 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.000 under my belt, so like I have really good fundamentals 212 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.000 of that game. And PLO I just don't, so I 213 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.720 got a lot of ground to cover up. So fortunately, 214 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.200 one of the good things I've worked for me is 215 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.039 I know how tournaments work and how the values of 216 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.039 chips are kind of fluid throughout the tournament, which. 217 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:23.879 Is very important. 218 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.720 So once I can kind of blend that with better 219 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.080 PLO fundamentals, I'll think I'll be a pretty good weapon 220 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.159 at these PLO tournaments. 221 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.080 You always, you know, complain to me that we need 222 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.679 more freeze outs and you know you were lucky enough 223 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.200 to parlay one bullet in the satellite do you hundre 224 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.879 kate buying but you know that didn't go too well 225 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:44.000 and second entry, So I want to know what goes 226 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.519 through your mind when you're considering a re entry in 227 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.559 a tournament, you know, a buying of Vispi versus and 228 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.720 also a field that's you know, relatively small. 229 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:57.879 Yeah, so late buy ins are actually better in smaller fields. Basically, 230 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.159 so whenever people have busted from a tournament, there's kind 231 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.039 of dead money. It's you call it dead money, but 232 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.320 it's not dead money. It's not completely dead. But the 233 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.440 idea is basically, when the field is smaller, the fewer 234 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.279 things need to happen for you to one make the 235 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.960 money to to win the tournament. So if you're talking 236 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:19.480 about a thousand person field, registering late isn't as advantageous 237 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:20.960 because so many things have to happen. 238 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:21.759 So it's much more. 239 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.919 Valuable to you know, play as many hands as you 240 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.360 can and accumulate chips if. 241 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:27.000 You're a winning player. 242 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:30.559 So I'm just like mostly gonna be rebuying most of 243 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.639 the time. If I mean that will game select. You know, 244 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.679 if it's a really tough Pilo tournament, I'm not gonna 245 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.879 be in there. But I think those will be rare 246 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.960 at least not to the point that at least tough 247 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.559 to the point where I don't think I'm at least 248 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.559 break even in them. So I'll be rebuying pretty much anytime. 249 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:48.879 Two months left in the year, there's a couple of 250 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.039 big series coming out. You know, we've got napt and 251 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.240 win here and then you know we're got Tried and 252 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.399 also you know Paradise, So yep, your approach to your 253 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.480 schedule coming out, what is it? But also like what 254 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.600 is your mind mindset knowing you know, we got this 255 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.360 big win here, we got that big win in Cypress, 256 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.320 we had a Pokemasa's final type. But how you feeling 257 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.399 approaching this two pretty big months of ton poker fi. 258 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.919 Yeah, I couldn't ask for a better mindset to be 259 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.360 in with. You know, we're coming into massive stakes at Triton, 260 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.080 at Win and at Bahamas, So just having a great 261 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.879 year underneath me already, let's it really just like lets 262 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.039 you kind of be free and not scared. It's like 263 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.759 confidence and momentum is absolutely a thingk in poker because 264 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.960 it's going to keep you from being tight and scared 265 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.679 of losing, which is kind of disastrous. So being able 266 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:36.320 to carry that mindset into these gigantic buy INDs is 267 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.559 like a huge, huge boost for me. 268 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:40.799 All right. 269 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.919 So that was mister Davies. I guess a little bit 270 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.960 of a deja vu because you talked to him at 271 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.720 the end of the super high rollerbl win. Yeah, Cyprus. 272 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:49.519 Now you're talking to him at the end of the 273 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.679 super high Rollable Pelo win here in Vegas. You know, 274 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.440 what are you kind of your thoughts coming out of 275 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:55.519 the event from Davis? 276 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.080 Well, first of all, yeah, both these two wins for 277 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.120 him two biggest Korea school you know you mentioned three 278 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.720 point two million and one point five million, so he 279 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:09.320 touched on it, you know, winning two very extremely prestigious events, 280 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.960 you know, high stakes, insanely tough competition for his two 281 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.080 biggest wins, you know, kind of that's a big career 282 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.720 defining moment, you know for him. There obviously talked to 283 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.120 him about all time moneyless and what that means to him, 284 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.679 and you know, it's actually the thing I took most 285 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.039 out of it is that, you know, Seth is just 286 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:32.480 like he's so calm and so you know, his responses, 287 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.399 he just are so well thought out, you know, and 288 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:36.840 you've just won one point five million dollars. Even when 289 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.759 I talked to him in August after winning three point two, 290 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.840 both times he had a beer in his hand, but 291 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.639 yet he was his response is so professional, and it's 292 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.200 it's good to see these like good guys that are 293 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.720 on the tour playing all that PGT events breakthrough to 294 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:55.600 win such you know, such career highlight kind of events. 295 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.759 Yeah, I know, a couple of years ago, you know, 296 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.559 much was made of the close calls for Chris Brewer, 297 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.159 you know, just constantly like knocking at the door of big, 298 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.960 big events, but but you know, never really broke through. 299 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.480 You know, Seth Davies I think has kind of a 300 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:17.600 similar story arc where he's always in there battling in 301 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.480 some of the biggest events in the world. And you know, yeah, 302 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.759 years ago he did win a World Poker Tour title 303 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.200 and he has that, right. But these events that are 304 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.799 around now, you know, the PGT events, the Triton events, 305 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:30.919 all the high roller stuff that takes place at the 306 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.440 World Series of Poker, you know, they're they're a different 307 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:40.240 tier now, right, and it's it's not necessarily about these days. 308 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.720 I mean, you can correct me if I'm wrong here 309 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.600 in what I'm thinking, But you get a World Poker 310 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.480 Tour win, for example, you know, you get a WSVY 311 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.200 bracelet and kind of a more common event. You know, 312 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.279 I mean, no disrespect to the events, I'm just gonna 313 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:55.759 use that phrase, but you know, like a one K, 314 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.559 fifteen hundred, et cetera. You know, those large field MTTs. 315 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.759 That's all well and good, and that's certainly respectable to 316 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.080 be able to navigate through that, but I think there's 317 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.320 more of a tip of the cap. When a player 318 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:16.000 beats extremely elite, its extremely prestigious competition, and that can 319 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.440 be against thirty players, it can be against fifty players, 320 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.480 it can be against you know, one hundred players, whatever 321 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.759 it may be. But it's more about the level of 322 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.440 competition that is, like what these top guys are striving 323 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.159 to go after now. So getting like one of these 324 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.320 high roller wins at such an elite level. You know, 325 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.519 Davies had it in Super High Rollable in Cyprus. Now 326 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.919 he has it in the hunter K super High roll 327 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.759 level plo here in Vegas. So, you know, I think 328 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.600 those things just kind of going back to what I 329 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.600 was getting at with Chris Brewer. Like Davies has always 330 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.679 been around, He's always been in these events. He just 331 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.320 he hadn't had the close calls that Brewer had, you know, 332 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.600 but he was always there. You know, he just kind 333 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.960 of bombed out early. It just never really worked out 334 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.200 for him. So, you know, everyone was kind of winning 335 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.519 towards Oh, you know, Chris Brewer is just he's getting 336 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.160 so close, He's getting so close, and a lot of 337 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.240 times Brewer is getting screwed by bad beats, just just 338 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.839 very unlucky. And then finally he broke through. You know, 339 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.119 for Davies, it was just like kind of Whin's he 340 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:13.839 gonna break through? When's he gonna break through, and then 341 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.559 this year boom like just an absolute rocket ship, you know, 342 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.160 propelled by these two victories. So so yeah, it's kind 343 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.880 of been a long time coming for him on the 344 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.079 high stake scene. But I will say kudos to him 345 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.000 for continuing to show up in battle, because I'm sure 346 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:34.759 it's not easy to constantly show up and basically get 347 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:36.839 your teeth kicked in or a bow out early or 348 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.680 whatever it may be. And and and specifically in this event, 349 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.200 you know, coming back from from trying a bluff that 350 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.640 didn't work, he gets knocked down to two big blinds, 351 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.160 ultimately is able to spin it back up, put himself 352 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.599 in con contention, and then go on to get the 353 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.480 victory in a game that he admits that isn't his specialty. 354 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.759 You know, Nolan man hold him is his game. He's 355 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:02.240 he has taken a more serious approach to POO in 356 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.960 probably the last year year and a half, and not 357 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.240 during this PGTPLO series, but the last one. He did 358 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.480 close it out with a win in the twenty five 359 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.759 K finale, and now he goes on to win the 360 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.359 biggest PG or the biggest PLO event in the world. 361 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.759 So good on Seth Davies kind of sort of announcing 362 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.440 himself this year. If you haven't known about Seth Davies, 363 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.480 like here he is. This is his big arrival, and 364 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.960 he sets himself up nicely, you know, going into the 365 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.519 the PGT Championship. You know where he's now in third place, 366 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.559 which unless something ridiculous happens, but it's never gonna happen. 367 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.759 He's locked into making that championships, so we'll see him 368 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:43.319 battling there and he'll be able to do so in 369 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:47.400 nolaant Holdham, which is his specialty. So very much looking 370 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.240 forward to seeing what Davies brings for the rest of 371 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:54.160 the PGT season and then ultimately in that championship. Any 372 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.680 more takeaways on Davies. I have some questions for you, 373 00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.480 but don't you know anything else on on Davies specifically, No. 374 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.559 I mean you guys heard the interview. The one thing 375 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.200 you know I did ask him about was, you know, 376 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.319 kind of what we just discussed No Limit versus PLO, 377 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.759 and it was interesting that he was like, yeah, that's 378 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.720 my bread and butter, know them holding But you see 379 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.160 so many so much PLO now World Series. You see 380 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.960 it to try and obviously the PGT is kind of 381 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:20.000 all in on PLO right now, and he kind of 382 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:22.640 sees that as hey, this is another potential value spout 383 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.039 if I can get better. So he is now actively, 384 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.839 you know, working on his PLO game, and it's shown 385 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:30.680 you got the hundred K title, he's got a twenty 386 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.160 five K title. Now I imagine you get a few 387 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.759 more one hundred thousand hands under the belt, a few 388 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.920 more simulations, he could be one of the best OMAHA 389 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.599 players in the world. You just never know. Yeah, I 390 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:42.920 know that. 391 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:46.960 After he won our colleague MKO Rinkima did a brief 392 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.480 interview with him as well, and you know he he 393 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:55.400 basically likened PLO to like a big logic puzzle, and 394 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.039 I think that that really tracks a lot, you know, 395 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.519 Like I every time I'm in the booth with a 396 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.200 Jane Andes or hearing Alex Livingston on the Super High 397 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.039 Rollble PLO commentary, you know, it does feel like a 398 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.519 lot of the PLO stuff, the strategy stuff makes sense 399 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:12.880 if you just take some time and like think it 400 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.279 all through. And I think that you see a lot 401 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.039
