1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the 2 00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:18,239 Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His name 3 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,960 is Tim Duckworth. Two days, two podcasts. Well, I don't 4 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,640 really know when this is getting released, but you know, 5 00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:27,239 we'll figure it out. But we've been cranking them out, 6 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,679 you know, because we got a lot of stuff to 7 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,560 talk about. We're back in the saddle. I love it. 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,000 I know Tim loves it, even though I don't. I 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000 don't get the vibe that he's loving it. I got 10 00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:39,079 the vibe that you were loving it yesterday. You know, 11 00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,560 you had your shirt off. You were just free flowing 12 00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:42,479 like you're ready to go. 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: I got a busy day today. I'm just. 14 00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:48,039 Speaker 1: Today. You're the one with the heart out. 15 00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:49,719 Speaker 2: I got the hot at today. Yeah. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: So about thirty five minutes, we'll try and crank through 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,000 some more of the topics I know on the on 18 00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:59,479 the most recent episode, we hit on GG poker buying 19 00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:02,880 the Basic, and then we hit on laptop gate, which 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,159 I think we were corrected on Twitter saying whatever, same thing. 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,799 So we hit on that sort of stuff. We got 22 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:14,959 a couple more items that we do want to tackle 23 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,079 and get our thoughts out there about and discuss first 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,359 things first, WSP Paradise is back. It was announced recently. 25 00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,680 They announced it, and then everything happened with laptop slash, Salvergates, 26 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,159 the gd Poker bought the ws A p and it 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,560 almost feels like that people kind of forgot about WSP 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,280 Paradise for a little bit. I'm assuming that momentum will 29 00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:39,239 will rebuild for DOBASITPY Paradise. So we're gonna hit on that. 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,159 We got Scott sever winning Player of the Year, which. 31 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 32 00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: He had one of the most incredible summers ever, if 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,519 not the most incredible summer ever, and it just feels 34 00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:54,200 like no one's talking about It's just like like, is 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,239 there an even an article on WISP dot com. I 36 00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,799 don't think so. I mean they bounced it via a 37 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,200 tweet at like twelve thirty four in the morning. 38 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: Yes, they did do that.

I only listened to maybe fifteen twenty 72 00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:06,479 minutes of it, but there was one line in there 73 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,960 from Daniel Legrando when he said, wisbe Paradise is not 74 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,680 going anywhere, And the way he said it was like, 75 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,560 if you want to contend with us in December, meaning 76 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,279 gg poker slashsp then good luck, have fun, because we're 77 00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:24,519 doing this every year and we're doing it big, as 78 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,279 evidenced by the fact that in the second year it 79 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,800 returns to Atlantis in the Bahamas with a fifty million 80 00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:38,040 dollar guaranteed main event or I should say sorry, super 81 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:44,519 main event. Okay, the largest tournament guarantee ever this year 82 00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:47,160 it does come with a twenty five thousand dollars buy in. 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,600 What are your thoughts over there when you saw the 84 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:52,639 news fifty million. 85 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,319 Speaker 2: Huge, massive, and then I saw that it came with 86 00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:56,879 the twenty five K prize points, so I lost a 87 00:04:56,879 --> 00:05:00,639 little bit of interest, to be honest. Now, my first 88 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,720 thoughts was, is this pocustars? You know, this is a 89 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,759 very PSPC ish Nothing wrong with that, honestly, Look, not 90 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,240 a fan, not a fan of the battle between them 91 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,040 and WPT. I'm not a fan of a twenty five 92 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,480 k main event, you know. But they're doing what they 93 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,240 want to do. I don't think they're going to miss 94 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,600 the guarantee. We said that all last year that they 95 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,040 wouldn't miss a single one. They didn't. I feel the 96 00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:31,800 same this year. The series is pretty pretty damn robust 97 00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:36,360 for uh, you know, the client tell they're targeting, so 98 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,480 it'd be fun. I wouldn't mind going to to be 99 00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:42,439 on site, but you know, I can't really afford some 100 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,480 of these buyans, so I'll have to skip it. 101 00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, So speaking of some of the buyans, I mean, 102 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,680 of course we mentioned the twenty five thousand dollars super 103 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,800 main event. I'm just going to hit on on what 104 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,079 the schedule is and then I'll give some thoughts as well. 105 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,800 And Tim and I'll talk about this a little bit further, 106 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,519 But you have a WSP Mini Main Event five million 107 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:04,319 dollar guarantee, that is event number one, twenty five hundred 108 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,160 dollars buy in. You have a Triton Million. That's something 109 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,600 else that is coming with the Bisbee Paradise this time 110 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:12,800 around is that they have partnered with Triton. So this 111 00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:16,480 Triton Million is it's a million dollar buying in the 112 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:22,639 format of one VIP slash businessman, slash invited player, I 113 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,560 don't really know how to call them, and then one 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,279 pro and those people kind of like team up together 115 00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:29,680 in a way like if you're the VIP, you can 116 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:32,519 invite one pro. Each person puts up five hundred thousand 117 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,639 dollars and you play. So the buy in is listed 118 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,439 as two times five hundred thousand dollars. You have a 119 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,240 pot limit Omaha Super high Roller one hundred K. You 120 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,800 have the gig Masters Online Championship with two and a 121 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,839 half million guaranteed, twenty five hundred dollars. There Dealer's Choice 122 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:53,160 Championship twenty five K Deep Stack Nolaman hold them five 123 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,040 thousand dollars, the Triton Main Event for one hundred thousand dollars, 124 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,959 the PLO Championship for fifty kbs AP Super Main Event 125 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:04,560 that we already talked about, twenty five k buying, fifty 126 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,120 million dollar guarantee, Paradise Pot Limit Omaha, ten thousand dollars 127 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,800 buying Mystery Millions Online, five million dollars guaranteed, twenty five 128 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,480 hundred dollars buying the GG Millions, Nolamit Hold Them Championship, 129 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,240 five million dollar guaranteed, ten thousand dollars buying nolam Ath 130 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,279 hold Them high Roller, fifty thousand dollars buying the Super 131 00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:31,480 Saver one million dollar Invitational, one million dollars guaranteed in 132 00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:34,600 that one that is a free roll slash invite only event. 133 00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:36,920 And then you have the closer a Nolan hold Them 134 00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:40,000 Bounty tur about five thousand dollars buying. So yeah, I 135 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,959 mean you touched on the buy ins, Tim, I mean, 136 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,360 what are your first thoughts on what they're presenting here? 137 00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:51,720 Lowest buying being twenty five hundred dollars. 138 00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:55,079 Speaker 2: It's big, bring you money, as simple as that. Like 139 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,319 I touched on before, that they're targeting a certain group 140 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:03,240 of players. They're targeting obviously people coming and playing a 141 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:07,920 big package of events. I think they may have missed 142 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,000 on some things, like the twenty five k Dealer's Choice 143 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,519 I think is going to not work at all. There's 144 00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:16,120 no there's no other mixed games to really convince mixed 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360 games specific players to come. But sure, yeah, Daniel Togron 146 00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:21,959 to Seande josh Aria, they're going to be there, they'll 147 00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:23,720 play it, but you're not really getting any of the 148 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,639 mixed guys, the mixed only guys out there. So I 149 00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:29,759 feel like they could have gone without that and just 150 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,720 added another twenty five k no limit hold them heads 151 00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:35,039 up tournament or something, you know, like something that fits 152 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,080 the majority of the player pool that are there. We 153 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,480 all know Ohamas as expensive, so you can't really have 154 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,360 three hundred dollars buy in bracelet events. You need to 155 00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:47,039 start at that twenty five hundred price point, and even 156 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,799 who knows, maybe that's a little too on the low side, 157 00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:53,360 but it's a good schedule for a lot of people 158 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,159 out there, and I think it's going to just have 159 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,000 as much interest this year pending a few keys, and 160 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,200 although we haven't heard anything, that's the most important thing 161 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,279 to make this successful is basically doubling down on the 162 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,919 incentives they gave players, So there was lots of free rooms, 163 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,559 there was lots of packages given out. There was also 164 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,960 those I guess you could call it rake back promotions, 165 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,799 the bracelet promotions, the cashers promotions, stuff like that really 166 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,320 incentivize people to go. And that's how they hit all 167 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,679 their guarantees. Now, if none of that comes back, will 168 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,759 they hit these numbers? You know, we always talk about 169 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:35,480 the first year is always the best year. It's the 170 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:39,360 second year is the hardest. We found that in our series. 171 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,200 You know, other tours have acted the same way. So 172 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,039 if they don't bring if they don't bring those you know, 173 00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:49,679 incentives back, will people want to go to the Bahamas? 174 00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:52,159 Or will they want to go to EPT Prague, or 175 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,759 they want to go to WPT World Championship. Will they 176 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,360 want to just stay home for Christmas? So I think 177 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,679 that's pretty important and hopefully the quicker they get that 178 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,039 stuff out, the more likely they can stop filling rooms 179 00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:05,720 and making sure they hit all these numbers. 180 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: Well, one of the incentives is already out there, and 181 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,399 that is the Super Saver one million Dollar Invitational. So 182 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,960 this takes place on the looks like the final day 183 00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:20,159 of the series. So the series does run December sixth 184 00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:24,559 through nineteenth.

It's limited until November first. So if 200 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:22,279 you deposit via the doubsip plus app secure your Passion package, 201 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,240 deposit ten thousand dollars by September thirtieth, and ninety thousand 202 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,440 dollars by November first, that's option number one or just 203 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,440 one hundred thousand dollars by November first. This is very 204 00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:36,399 confusing how this reads Atlanta's front wire of one hundred 205 00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:41,720 thousand dollars by November first. Free fourteen nights sweet room. 206 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,120 I mean, I've been to Atlantis. It's expensive as all 207 00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:49,399 hell to go down there, so free fourteen nights is good. 208 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,639 You of course get entry into the one million dollars 209 00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:55,919 Super Saver Invitational. You get VIP airport pickup at NASA Airports. 210 00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:57,759 So I mean, listen, if if you're one of those 211 00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,799 people who are gonna go down there, you know, like 212 00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:01,399 a lot of the players that play in these high 213 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,120 roller events, whether it be Triton, whether it be the 214 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,360 PGT or elsewhere, you should probably just do this, you know, 215 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:08,720 get your money in and then get the free fourteen 216 00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:10,759 nights room. Of course, you get into this million dollar 217 00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:14,279 free roll, So there's that. And then it's also open 218 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,600 to to GG Poker package winners, so the Super Saver 219 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,440 Invitational bracelet holders, who participate in the Super Maine hundred 220 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,320 K package, early bird purchasers, and GG Poker Package winners. 221 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,799 So that's printy enticing, I think for a lot of 222 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,480 people to go down there. Now, I don't fully know 223 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,840 about the price points. I mean, it's clear that they're 224 00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:41,240 tacking a certain area of the playing community, right the 225 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,080 high rollers. I'm assuming with a lot of this stuff 226 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,840 and a lot of these events, a few of them 227 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,759 at least you have the GG Masters Online Championship, you 228 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,480 have the whereas its Mystery Millions Online. 229 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:51,759 Speaker 2: You know. 230 00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,279 Speaker 1: I'm assuming WSP Super Main Event is going to have 231 00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:57,440 online stuff in it as well. Maybe even this WSP 232 00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:00,360 Mini Main Event will have online stuff. So probably have 233 00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:05,039 a lot of online to live formation of these tournaments. 234 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,960 So I will say that it's probably not entry point 235 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,080 of twenty five hundred dollars for all this sort of stuff. 236 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720 It's probably entry point if you can, you know, get 237 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,840 on GG poker and play. I don't know what they'll 238 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,240 they'll have there just yet. I don't know if that's 239 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,240 been announced. Apologies of it has and I missed it 240 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,879 to them, But I'm assuming there's gonna be a lot 241 00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,759 of different avenues, different pathways for people to you know, 242 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,120 funnel themselves into these events, win packages, all that sort 243 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,399 of stuff. Like you I get some PSBC vibes from 244 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,799 the Super Main Event and about the supermin Event, I'm 245 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:45,639 kind of surprised that it was allowed to be called 246 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,159 the Super main Event, saying that now is different than 247 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,679 when this announcement first came out. This announcement came out 248 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,679 before GG poker announced that they were buying the ever 249 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:58,919 Speed yep right, obviously saying it now gg pokern can 250 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,200 do it at once. Okay, I mean the deal is 251 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,960 not fully complete. I think it's going to take till 252 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,720 the end of the year to like actually get approved 253 00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:06,440 and all that sort of stuff. But for all intents 254 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,399 and purposes, it's done. 255 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: Right. 256 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: Super Main Event implies that it's better than the main exactly. 257 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: I hate so. 258 00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:20,039 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't the was main event in the 259 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:23,320 summer is the flagship. It should always be the flagship. 260 00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:27,639 Like so, so is this and I could be getting 261 00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:29,399 people in trouble for something that hasn't been done yet. 262 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:35,080 I don't know. Is this assigned to the future of 263 00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:41,240 ideas for a bigger main event. You're calling it the 264 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,559 super main Event. You have a bigger buy and there's 265 00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,159 always been that that conversation, not that you and I 266 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,960 agree with it, but like, will they have a raise 267 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,639 that it be main event? Buy in. You know, ten 268 00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:52,399 thousand dollars today is what it was ten twenty, thirty 269 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,240 years ago, et cetera. Like there's always that conversation. So 270 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,919 is this like a plan going forward? I mean, you're 271 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,200 you're coming out with a fifty million dollar guarantees. So 272 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:04,480 not that you're not that you're challenging the WSP Main 273 00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:07,639 Event price pool yet, which is you know, almost pushing 274 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:11,200 one hundred million now, right, But I mean coming out 275 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,200 with fifty million, you're setting the foundation for this quote 276 00:15:14,279 --> 00:15:19,720 unquote super main Event pretty lofty. So is the goal 277 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,960 to you know, eventually have like basically a second version 278 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,720 of the WSP Main Event that takes place in the 279 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,960 summer I at a Caesar's property for the next twenty 280 00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:31,440 years according to the press release, like at Paradise. Is 281 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,679 that kind of the plan here? Or long term? I'm 282 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,440 talking long term? You know it's gonna obviously this isn't 283 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,279 gona happen this year, next year or the year after that. 284 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,360 You know, it's going to take five, ten, fifteen years, whatever. 285 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,600 So is that the plan here? I don't know. I'm 286 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,759 just I'm just throwing stuff out there. 287 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: I think the plan is this variety in the scheduling 288 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,919 in the WSP brand. I think it was a little 289 00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:56,440 bit of a failure to call it the super main event. 290 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,120 I mean, super is the wrong word. It should be 291 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,879 something related to the price like but I think they 292 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,679 I think maybe it's more of like, how do we 293 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,440 differentiate the main event from the main event? As in, 294 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,600 so there's a world where maybe next year we see 295 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,960 the WSP year, it may event be five K, you know, 296 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,039 something like that, where it's a different price point, a 297 00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:24,360 different kind of style, so that then all three main 298 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:27,200 events are slightly different. I think that's where they may 299 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,600 be leaning towards more than anything else. But who knows. 300 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:34,960 I don't think that the Vegas one will ever be 301 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,559 twenty five K. I don't think. I don't know. 302 00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: I agree, you know, but what I'm getting at is, 303 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,159 does with the buy in, with the guarantee, with the 304 00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,440 the marketing aspect of calling it super, you know, does 305 00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:52,759 this in a way take some shine away from the 306 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,480 WSP main event. I don't know yet. I'm just this 307 00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:58,720 is me just kind of working on some takes on 308 00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:01,159 the fly in my head. I'm not sure where I'm 309 00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:03,279 going to come out on this this all. I mean, 310 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:05,319 the man event is the biggest and the best, and 311 00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,160 I think it will always be that. 312 00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:10,519 Speaker 2: I don't think it would take anything off the luster 313 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,079 of the main event, the main the Vegas main event 314 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,319 is the main event, and I think everyone sees it 315 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:19,440 that way. It would take a lot, a lot. 316 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,599 Speaker 1: I understand that. I understand that it would take a lot. 317 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,359 But if you were if you were the person who 318 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,240 had a lot to be able to do it, wouldn't 319 00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:34,119 you do some things like make something named better than 320 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,920 the other thing, have a bigger buy, and come out 321 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,680 with a massive guarantee the quarter. That also doesn't mean 322 00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:40,359 live poker. 323 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,559 Speaker 2: There needs to be more of that. Think of the 324 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,039 history the fifty was it fifty two years or something? 325 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,160 Fifty five years of the ten thousand dollars event? 326 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:51,839 Speaker 1: And you can talk never you could never battle with history. 327 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 2: You can't battle with history. And like maybe in fifty 328 00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:57,839 years we can have a discussion, but right now it's yeah, 329 00:17:57,839 --> 00:17:58,480 it's not happening. 330 00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,759 Speaker 1: I'm basically just all I'm doing right now is I'm 331 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:03,640 planting the seeds. I'm asking various questions that maybe in 332 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,559 ten years you and I can get back on a 333 00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:10,720 podcast someday and see if we're right or wrong is 334 00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:12,680 all I'm doing, you know, because this obviously isn't going 335 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,599 to come anytime soon. This twenty five K Dealer's Choice 336 00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:23,480 is certainly the ugly duckling of the schedule, Like it's 337 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,640 just it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. 338 00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:30,279 I mean, it's just it's there. It's at a price 339 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:34,400 point that's very high. So I'm I mean, it's clear 340 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,599 that this whole schedule was attached or was made to 341 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:45,000 attack a certain clientele of player, right, and then you 342 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,839 just kind of shoehorn that one in there. And I 343 00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:51,519 don't know how many of the players that you're going 344 00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:54,480 after also play a twenty five K Dealer's Choice. It 345 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,319 just it seems a little bit weird to me. 346 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: It will probably get forty players because you'll get Danny 347 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,960 Tang registering for it and stuff like that. You'll still 348 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,000 get an okay turn out. You're not going to get Sure. 349 00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:07,799 You're probably not getting David od b Bacon. You're not 350 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,440 probably you might get Senheimer. You're not getting the the 351 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,880 mixed game guys, you know, that's. 352 00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: All you're gonna You're only going to get the mixed 353 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,440 game guys who also play the big no limit stuff, correct, 354 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,799 And it would be my guest. I mean, unless there's 355 00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:26,559 probably there's probably some people that might go some mixed 356 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:30,039 game people who are well versed enough in No limit 357 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,119 hold them and want to play the Super main event 358 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,680 that might go like you might get those people too, right, 359 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,400 So I think it's interesting. I mean, they're clearly going 360 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,759 big from this schedule. I mean, it's it's out of control. 361 00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:48,359 It's fifteen gold bracelet events. I mentioned the two Triton events, 362 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,039 the Tradon Million and the Triton Main Event. Not only 363 00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:53,400 do you have that fifty million dollar guarantee, you have 364 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,279 three five million dollar guarantees, you have a two and 365 00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:58,000 a half million dollar guarantee, you have a one million 366 00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:03,519 dollar guarantee that that's super the Savior Invitational. So, I mean, 367 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:09,839 it's just it's robust. It's certainly headline grabbing where I 368 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,640 sit right now, and this is going to start to 369 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,039 lead into our well, actually, first before I get into that, 370 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,519 the partnership with Triton Poker is is interesting. You know, 371 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,440 it creates a bit of a three headed monster in 372 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,359 a lot of ways. You know, you obviously have GG 373 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,480 Poker and WSP who have been partners for you know, 374 00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:32,160 several years, and now GG Poker recently you know, acquired 375 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,759 or at least announced the acquisition of the WSP brand, 376 00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,920 and now they are partnering with Triton to bring that in. 377 00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:42,240 So you're probably gonna get all the all the Triton 378 00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:44,119 players you know are going to be going down there. 379 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,039 And we know how big and crazy and exciting and 380 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,319 fun and competitive those fields are that happen in all 381 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,319 the different Triton events around the world. So you're going 382 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:58,039 to have that one thing that this has done. And 383 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,519 I mean, from where I sit right now, Tuesday, August thirteenth, 384 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,119 nine forty six am, they won December. 385 00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:10,559 Speaker 2: I mean, na get out of here. 386 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: Well, okay, let's go here. I want to hear your argument. 387 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: I mean, what why have they won December? 388 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,319 Speaker 1: Well, can you tell me where the WPT is? Hello, 389 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,839 WPT wake up please. I don't know if you saw, 390 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,559 but your biggest competitor has dropped the largest live tournament 391 00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,160 guarantee in history and it's coming out with an absolute bang. 392 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,920 Has pardoned with Triton all this sort of stuff. Where 393 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,279 are you guys, They're coming, They're waiting, they're coming, They're planning. Okay, Yeah, 394 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:37,920 where huh huh? Like where are they? Look, I always 395 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,640 had all we've had for months now are dates. 396 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 2: That's fine. Dates is okay. I've blucked it off on 397 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,599 the calendar. It's good. I know when it is. Look, 398 00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:51,039 we know what's going on, and we obviously have some 399 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,960 behind the scenes knowledge though you know, we don't really 400 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,559 need to discuss, but you know they're going they're both 401 00:21:56,559 --> 00:21:57,680 playing chickens with each other. All. 402 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: First of all, I have zero behind the scenes A lot. 403 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,160 If I had some behind the scenes knowledge, I would 404 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,799 I would have some insight here. But I have nothing, 405 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,359 And that's why I'm wondering where the heck is WPT. 406 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Look, look, WBT announced that dates when 407 00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:15,160 like March or something. They announced it very early. 408 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: Way early. 409 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, which is fine. You put a luck Now we know. 410 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,000 The next step is wait, let's see what WSP does. 411 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:24,640 They announced their big chop. So once they announced their 412 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,720 big chop, WPT and I go, okay, now we have 413 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:29,240 that info, let's figure out how schedule. Are we doing 414 00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:32,480 a twenty five million guarantee? We're doing a fifty million guarantee? Yeah, 415 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:32,599 we do. 416 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: Questions to you, are what's their guarantee going to be 417 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,720 If you had to guess what was it last ya 418 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,440 forty and they missed, it's more than two million. 419 00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:45,279 Speaker 2: It's going to be forty again guaranteed. In my mind, 420 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,240 I don't think they're going down. I don't think they 421 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,400 I don't think they can go down. 422 00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: Well, that was the whole argument that we put forth 423 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,400 last year, is why you don't go twenty five exactly? Yea, 424 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,559 then you can't go down. Like we've had this problem 425 00:22:58,759 --> 00:23:01,160 within the PGT, you know, like we're like, once you 426 00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:04,200 do something, you can't put that cat back in the bag. 427 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,039 It just ain't happening. And if you do it, if 428 00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:09,799 you put stuff back in the bag, it looks negative. 429 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,920 People come at you for it. You know, they wonder, 430 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,839 oh my god, is stuff really bad? Behind the scenes, 431 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,000 because you know, they're not going as big as they 432 00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:20,920 once did. That's why you just gradually build up. 433 00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:25,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're probably planning that stuff. They're also planning 434 00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:28,440 the side events. You know, it'd be very smart for 435 00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:31,799 WPT to stay completely away from the high rollers and 436 00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:34,799 and like we've kind of done on the PGT, focus 437 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,240 on that price point of sub ten K. I think 438 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:42,279 that is a really big price point in America. And then, 439 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,559 and the reason I say Bahamas hasn't won yet is 440 00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,000 because I think we know first hand the amount of 441 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,319 our players. And I've had out one of our players 442 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,400 speak directly to me and said and ask, like I 443 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,039 would I want to be I'd rather stay here, so 444 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,480 like then go to is regardless of all the stuff 445 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:01,920 that's there. 446 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: Like well, and for that player, I'm going to give 447 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,000 you fifty Triton players that are going to Paradise. 448 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you might. You can obviously change his mind. There's 449 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,279 ways to change his mind. He's just saying that. I 450 00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:14,240 think the I would say ninety seven percent Now, that's 451 00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:19,200 that's ninety seven percent of the player pool that's targeted 452 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,000 for Bahamas that lives in America outside of Florida would 453 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,079 be more interested in going to Vegas than going to Bahamas. Now, 454 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,279 doesn't mean that ninety seven percent only goes to the win. 455 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,720 You know, there's ways to incentivize them to bring that 456 00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:36,400 percentage down. But there's definitely going to be players that 457 00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:39,279 just like I ain't going to Bahamas. Doesn't matter. You 458 00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:42,400 can't convince me otherwise. I am ten minute drive to 459 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,920 the win. Why do I want to go spend twenty 460 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,160 k in accommodation and travel expenses in the Bahamas. 461 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: So well, if if GG Poker you know, comes out 462 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,279 with you know, we've qualified x hundred players, you know, 463 00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:57,559 all this sort of stuff, if they if they take 464 00:24:58,039 --> 00:25:00,240 you know, kind of stealing from what the PSBC did, 465 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,440 what Poker Stars did with that event, you know, really 466 00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:06,559 really putting those qualifiers in the spot like where you 467 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,240 saw like you know, some random guy from a random 468 00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:13,400 casino is playing his first tournament buying over two hundred dollars, Like, 469 00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:15,200 you know, they put that stuff out there, and like 470 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:17,000 they kept doing it, and they did it with like 471 00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:21,000 three hundred qualifiers that that draws in the pros, right. 472 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,319 I think it was a couple of our PGT players 473 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,359 who basically said, like, you know, for every one amateur 474 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,440 slash recreational qualifier type player who like doesn't belong in 475 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,000 these high roller fields, it draws in like six to 476 00:25:35,079 --> 00:25:38,960 seven pros. Like that's how they kind of equated, you know. 477 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,599 So so yeah, if they really go gangbusters with like 478 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,240 putting it out there, who are these qualifiers are? How 479 00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:48,759 they got in? Like this guy won for one dollar, 480 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,960 you know, he normally plays you know, one dollar flipping 481 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,279 gos on GG poker, blah blah blah, like this is 482 00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:56,480 his story here he is like, you know, put him 483 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,640 out there like that really starts to invite you know, 484 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,400 the sharks to come feast on the minnows down there 485 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,640 in the Bahamas. So I'm interested to see how that 486 00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:11,039 marketing element plays out. I'm always very like I mean, 487 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:13,799 I do a lot of marketing within the industry, and 488 00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:17,160 I am always drawn to like what other places are 489 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,839 doing with their marketing. So I'm very interested to how 490 00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:21,920 they're going to approach that. So looking forward to that, 491 00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:25,839 I have one question for you, sir, Where does phil 492 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,559 Ivy go? Does he go with his Triton boys or 493 00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:33,240 does he go with the WPT overlords. Where does he 494 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,160 go in December? 495 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,279 Speaker 2: Buddy? He does both? I think he confidently does both. 496 00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: If you're WPT, don't you have to force him to 497 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,799 stay in Vegas? But we know how that goes. 498 00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 2: Send me the contract, let me read it. See if 499 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,160 that's even part of the contract. I doubt it is. 500 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,240 Ivy Chase process all summer. I think he'll do it again, 501 00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:58,640 and obviously he has. He's trying boys so he'll be 502 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,880 in Bahamas and then you'll see him play like two events, 503 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,000 three events. 504 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: Yes, So if he's going to Bahamas, which I also 505 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,319 agree that he's going to go to the Bahamas, you're 506 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,319 getting ivy. You're for sure getting hellmuth. You're getting to 507 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:16,559 grow on you. How is WPT winning December? How what 508 00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:18,440 are they going to do? Let's wait for the schedule, 509 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,400 have another marching on the breaks of the tournament. 510 00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 2: They lose points for that. Like, I bet we see 511 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:30,480 the biggest win field, whatever last year's number was, we 512 00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:31,279 top it this year. 513 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,039 Speaker 1: Well, the biggest win field is the WPT Prime. 514 00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: No, no, I'm saying that whatever we had last year, 515 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,640 I think we beat I bet you we see another 516 00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:44,880 massive prime event bigger than last year. And if if 517 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,720 the guys over at the wind Slash WPT make a 518 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,960 good enough schedule, you know, with some really good events, 519 00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:53,720 I bet you we see massive fields in those two. 520 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,359 I'm bullish on the wind being just in people's backyards 521 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,839 and not having I agree. 522 00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they're in my backyard, you know. I'm I'm 523 00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:05,160 gonna try and play stuff at the wind you know, 524 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,480 I mean, I I obviously have other reasons why I 525 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,000 can't go to the Bahamas. I mean, I'm not taking 526 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,519 my whole family there. It's just too expensive, you know, 527 00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:13,839 playing these types of buy ins, et cetera. It's just 528 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,119 difficult for me, right, you know, I'd rather just go 529 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,799 to the win. Yes, I think in my shoes. And 530 00:28:19,839 --> 00:28:22,519 this might be something where if people are on the fence, 531 00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:25,079 I don't know, maybe they consider this to some degree. 532 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,119 But like having been to the Bahamas so often with 533 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,880 the PCA over the years, like I don't it's not 534 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,880 a draw just to go to this destination, Like the 535 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,720 destination isn't a draw for me, which which is is fine. 536 00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,799 You know. I think a lot of people out there 537 00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:42,680 will enjoy going to the Bahamas. They get out of 538 00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:45,039 bad weather, all that sort of stuff. I totally get it, 539 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,400 you know, just for me having been there, like the 540 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,640 destination itself doesn't sell anymore. So I'm just curious. I 541 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,799 guess if there's a lot of other players out there 542 00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:59,079 because the win is now like the premiere poker destination. 543 00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:03,279 Like you go, you play at the Win, the property 544 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,720 is absolutely incredible, you know, it's just it's top notch 545 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,000 playing there. It's it's amazing. It's you know, it's it's 546 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000 in Las Vegas, which I think a lot of people like, 547 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,880 but it's also like it's at the end of the strip, 548 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,440 so you're not like jam packed in the middle. You know, 549 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,480 it's at this particular event WPT at the Win is 550 00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:23,440 in December when the weather isn't you know, one hundred 551 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,839 and fifteen degrees outside, which I think also people like. 552 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,680 So so that is a big selling point for a 553 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,720 lot of people. Of course, money talks at the end 554 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:33,440 of the day, so you know, fifty million dollars guaranteed, 555 00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:34,960 I think there's gonna be a lot of people that 556 00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:39,480 travel down there. I just if I'm if I'm WPT 557 00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:43,480 and I'm the win, I'm very much going within every 558 00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:48,440 man focus, meaning I'm catering to I'm catering my schedule 559 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,200 to the population of poker players that play four and 560 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:55,319 a dollar to five thousand dollars tournaments. I'm packing my 561 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,440 schedule with that sort of stuff, probably keeping the five 562 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,880 thousand dollars price point pretty selective. And then I just 563 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,799 have the ten thousand dollars main the world the World Championship. 564 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,839 You know, I really push the accessibility, I push the 565 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,039 everyman I try and pump out, you know, massive massive 566 00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:16,920 fields you mentioned, you know, having the largest field at 567 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,079 the win ever, you know, trying to do stuff like that. 568 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,279 You know, have like a massive six hundred dollars opener, 569 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,119 which they did in the past, but like bumping up 570 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,799 the guarantee for that, you know, bumping up the guarantee 571 00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:29,160 for the one thousand dollars WPT Prime Championship, stuff like that, 572 00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:32,920 you know, and then just probably doing something that like 573 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,799 filters people into the ten k. You know, I think 574 00:30:35,799 --> 00:30:37,359 there's gonna be a lot of people that come out 575 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,799 for that price point that whether they win money or not, 576 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,720 you know, sell some action, all this sort of stuff. 577 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,640 They kind of take their shot in the World Championship 578 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,200 for ten k, and it's it's a bit more palatable, 579 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,480 it's a bit more accessible to go that route. I 580 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,599 would I would almost just entirely scrap high rollers, Like 581 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,880 I wouldn't do anything above five thousand dollars except for 582 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,359 the WPT World Championship. 583 00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 2: You still need to do the alpha stuff, but you 584 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,559 do it at the very back of the schedule because 585 00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:09,359 you want to you want any centimize people to come 586 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,240 from Mohamas to play the ten k, Like how do 587 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:16,440 I get author Materrosen to come and Makita Beziakowski come 588 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,039 play the ten k and then we have a twenty 589 00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:21,039 five and one hundred like on the off days. That's 590 00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:21,920 how you get them to come. 591 00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: I mean, why why do you need them to come? 592 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: You don't bet like I think you should offer it anyway, 593 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,079 it's going to fill up. They had good numbers lost 594 00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:30,079 here in those ones. 595 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, but last year you weren't going up against the 596 00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:33,759 WPG paradise. 597 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 2: It is ended by then at the end. 598 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,319 Speaker 1: It seems like a natural fit to me to partner 599 00:31:40,319 --> 00:31:43,160 with the PGT to some extent. I should just say 600 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,119 av Poker and Triton Poker and Triton are all in 601 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,279 bed over there. You know, maybe we do some PGT 602 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,279 events at the win, you know, entice our players to 603 00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:52,440 get in there, chase some points. 604 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: You know, you have my number, Adam, You're probably not, but. 605 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: Just call your your country made over there and let's go. 606 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,640 Let's go get Savage on the horn. Have you just 607 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:03,920 had him on the podcast of the day? I mean, 608 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,279 come on, yeah, I mean that's that's what I would do, 609 00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:10,559 you know, And I'm not a fan of what they've done. 610 00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:14,240 With with Alpha eight, I think they need to scrap 611 00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:17,400 the brand or put it back to what it was. 612 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 2: So I like the name. I just yeah, the name 613 00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:21,039 is good. 614 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: The branding was good, The idea I think was good. 615 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,240 But like trying they're basically trying to take that brand 616 00:32:26,359 --> 00:32:29,039 and then shoehorn it into now like twenty five k's 617 00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:34,160 and stuff like just have everything be WPT like a 618 00:32:34,279 --> 00:32:36,279 WPT high roller. Why can't it just be a WPT 619 00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:40,200 high roller? Like what you know? Why has it got 620 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,039 to be a trifecta, quadruple, quintupled alpha eight, Like I 621 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,039 don't think it's just really confusing to me. I mean 622 00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:51,000 another option that that I don't think is on the 623 00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:54,599 table at this I don't know. Now that I say 624 00:32:54,599 --> 00:32:59,920 that it is August thirteenth, but move to January question mark, Yes, 625 00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:05,640 I mean right like yes, I mean that obviously has 626 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,359 to probably do with like we know. I mean, at 627 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,640 least I know because my wife works in the casino industry. 628 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,119 I know how these things work. We've been around the 629 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,960 industry for long enough that convention space and and the 630 00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,400 amount of convention space that they need for an event 631 00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:22,240 like this at the wind is not easy to come by, 632 00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:24,759 and this stuff gets booked out long in advance, so 633 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,640 like I'm sure they can't just call up the win 634 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,440 and be like, hey, we want to move to January 635 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,799 and when it's like, ah, funny, we've been booked for 636 00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:33,119 three years in January. You know, like like that's just 637 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,640 so that's the hard part there. 638 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,799 Speaker 2: Well, the thing is this is the lost year of 639 00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:39,519 the deal, right, so maybe they actually have a plan 640 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,519 to move to January. 641 00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is three years, three years. 642 00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:44,119 Speaker 2: Maybe they have a plan to move to January and 643 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,079 they already have that space bookvill twenty twenty sick. 644 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be interesting also now that you bring that up, 645 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,680 because yeah, it is they I remember they announced a 646 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,319 three year deal that whatever happens this year I think 647 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,720 points to like where the relationship is going to go 648 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,960 going forward. Meaning if they scale back and do like, 649 00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:06,880 let's say a twenty five million dollar guarantee, that that 650 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,880 might be like you know, they're kind of just cutting 651 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,360 their losses in in a way, being like, hey, let's 652 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,719 put out a guarantee that's big that we can hit 653 00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:18,079 not cost any money, and then maybe this relationship doesn't 654 00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:20,679 go any further. But if they come out with another banger, 655 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,280 like you know you mentioned do forty again. Then it's 656 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,119 pretty clear to me that this relationship is going forward. Right, 657 00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:28,159 So maybe I'm reading a little bit too in the 658 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,960 lines there, but but listen, the WPT World Championship schedule 659 00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:35,599 has not come out yet. I've been asking them many times, 660 00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:37,440 you know, kind of where's the schedule, where's the schedule, 661 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,199 where's the schedule? So we'll see. I'm assuming it's going 662 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,760 to drop. I think it's going to drop this month. 663 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,920 I don't know when. And then once that happens, you know, 664 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,599 we'll talk about it a lot. Maybe we'll even get 665 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,559 Matt Savage back on to discuss it. I'm going to 666 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:56,920 be very interested to kind of put WSP Paradise and 667 00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:00,920 ws AP World Championship Schedule is basically by side and 668 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,239 be like, okay, like you know, what can we expect here, 669 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,559 Like who kind of won this event that event? You know, 670 00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:12,159 what are the what are the overall vibes that we're getting, 671 00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:14,599 Like is WPT going to lean into the every man 672 00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:17,000 accessibility stuff or are they just going to try and 673 00:35:17,039 --> 00:35:20,159 really go head to head with what WSP is doing. 674 00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:22,360 I mean, who knows, right, we don't know yet because 675 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,599 the schedule is not out, so so let's see and 676 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,719 let's see how it goes. Moving on, we got to 677 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,639 hit on Scott Sever winning WSOP Player of the Year. 678 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,639 Of course many of you listening tuned in to our 679 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,800 daily WSOP shows. Sever won three gold bracelets three not 680 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,199 many people have done that. He now has seven total bracelets. 681 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,760 Not many people have gotten to that amount either. Four 682 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,440 four hundred and three POY points for sever Michael Rocco 683 00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:01,679 closed out the w so P strong. He won the 684 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,400 what ten K six max events in the final days. 685 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,559 He ended up finishing in second place with threey eight 686 00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:12,280 hundred and three points. Jeremy Osmas, who made seven final tables, 687 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,039 ultimately did not win a bracelet, but had many deep runs. 688 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,599 He had three thousand, six hundred and eighty six points. 689 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,599 Interesting just about the top three quickly is that I 690 00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:25,320 think many people probably assume that Ozma's finished second just 691 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,960 because of the way that it was the race that 692 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,880 was happening between him and Stever, everything that was talked 693 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,559 about with Ozmas, how many final tables he made, all 694 00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:34,320 that sort of stuff, But it was actually Michael Rocco 695 00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:40,000 who had a pretty damn good wsop overall, I do 696 00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:42,719 want to hit on kind of some honorable mentions, but 697 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,639 I'll get to that in a second, just after we 698 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,559 get done talking about some more sever stuff.

You know we talked 704 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,599 about all this sort of stuff before where it's like 705 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,119 now sever enters that that conversation, So is he going 706 00:37:12,199 --> 00:37:14,559 to get in?

Madam? Yeah, so I mean 714 00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:37,320 they're they're likely, They're not that they're likely to be 715 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,320 back as finalists, but they'll be top of mind. Osmas 716 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,519 wasn't a finalist this year. 717 00:37:42,159 --> 00:37:47,079 Speaker 2: Here's my take. Ready, if we voted now, Siva would 718 00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:47,480 get in. 719 00:37:48,159 --> 00:37:51,119 Speaker 1: But recency bias, yes, but. 720 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,599 Speaker 2: We have WSP Europe. We have WSB Paradise, we have 721 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,679 WSP Vegas, we have one hundred and forty five. Actually, 722 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,320 we have one hundred, nearly two hundred more bracelet events 723 00:38:01,639 --> 00:38:05,360 between now and when you cost your vote. Shulman could 724 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,639 rip off three bracelets. Osmus could rip off three braces, 725 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,079 Aria could rip off three braces. Civa could win another three. 726 00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:14,119 So there's a lot that can happen in the next 727 00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:18,360 two hundred bracelet events before the current Living Hall of 728 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,480 Fame members need to vote. So yeah, it's it's it's 729 00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:25,480 still very open. I think it's Siva if it was today, 730 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,000 but it could be any number of people, you know, 731 00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:32,159 in two hundred bracelets time. I know it's a soft 732 00:38:32,199 --> 00:38:36,239 answer to it. I think we have to realize the situation. 733 00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, listen, I tend to agree with you. I'm 734 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,719 just looking at the list of finalists for this year. 735 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,519 Of course, Patrick Antonio has got in and we're going 736 00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:45,360 to hit on that next. But josh Ari on there, 737 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,840 We mentioned him, Barney Bobman was on there, Miami, John Sernudo, 738 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,760 Ted Forrest, Kathy Lieber, Mike mattis Ow, matt' savage, is 739 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,599 Hei Shinberg, Bill Smith. So some, if not all, will 740 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,920 you know, make it back next next year? You know, 741 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,719 it's kind of how they carry over. But Armie Ostmas 742 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,880 isn't on there. Nick Shulman, I believe will be forty, 743 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,760 so he'll likely make this list. 744 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 2: He turns for there was a list going out of 745 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,920 like who turns forty next year? Well, we should, we should. 746 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,360 I was actually going to create something. I just haven't 747 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:14,840 had a chance. 748 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: But so Phil Galfond is currently thirty nine years old. 749 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,719 This is according to Wikipedia and January sixteenth, So. 750 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 2: I don't know when missed forty. Like I didn't understand 751 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,039 that part. 752 00:39:29,199 --> 00:39:31,599 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't it when they say, hey, we're voting, 753 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,159 then you have to be forty? 754 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. 755 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,639 Speaker 1: I mean, is that? But like to your point is 756 00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:40,239 that May first? Is that June first? Is that July first? 757 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 2: Is? 758 00:39:40,599 --> 00:39:43,079 Speaker 1: You know, like what's but Galfon should be in there? 759 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,519 Speaker 2: No? Yeah, who do you think is the favorite right now? 760 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,079 I have no he Man, I mean seven Shulman is 761 00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:50,280 a lot closer than you think. 762 00:39:50,679 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: No, I and I think we recently talked about that 763 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,079 during one of the episodes when I when I brought 764 00:39:55,119 --> 00:39:57,800 it up during the World Series of Poker, because I mean, 765 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,119 there are a lot of similarities there, you know, a 766 00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:02,599 lot a lot of bracelets. Both have a WPT title, 767 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,280 sever does win in the bracelet category. Both have played 768 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,320 high stakes cash, right, I mean, I think I think 769 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,880 nowadays sever plays more high stakes cash than Shulman does. 770 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,159 Shulman is like kind of fully in at least from 771 00:40:14,199 --> 00:40:16,159 what I can tell on the tournament grind. But in 772 00:40:16,199 --> 00:40:19,039 that regard, like you know, Shulman's got a Triton title, 773 00:40:19,039 --> 00:40:22,199 Shulman's got PGT titles, et cetera. Like Sever is a 774 00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:26,719 little bit more void in that area. So how do 775 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,800 people wait that sort of stuff? Then? Like, I don't know, 776 00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:33,239 because it's voted on by the living Hall of famers, Right, 777 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:38,400 So how much of how much of Shulman being out 778 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,480 there as a commentator and as good of a commentator 779 00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:42,480 I see? Is like how much does that weigh in 780 00:40:42,519 --> 00:40:45,639 their mind? How much does the popularity aspect weigh in 781 00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:48,840 their mind? Right? So I don't know. 782 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,679 Speaker 2: You know, pocularity is the biggest, the most underrated waiting 783 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,280 in all this voting, and it shouldn't be, but I 784 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,159 think it actually. 785 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think I think popularity has trumped at times, 786 00:41:01,639 --> 00:41:04,039 even most recently, Patrick Antoni is getting in like I 787 00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:08,000 would have I wouldn't. I do think he's popular, yes, 788 00:41:08,039 --> 00:41:11,360 but I would have thought that maybe josh Arie got 789 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,719 in because he's I think I think he's more out 790 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,159 there in the spotlight, et cetera. And going back to 791 00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:21,719 when popular, when David Oppenheim got in. 792 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 2: There he's super Oppenheim would be super popular, yes, popular, 793 00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:29,000 but like not, he's not in the forefront of everyone's mind. 794 00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:31,159 So like when you say everyone, do you mean the 795 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,400 voters or do you mean the public? 796 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: Well, I think public perception might play into some voters' minds, 797 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,440 is what I'm getting. 798 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,119 Speaker 2: If you don't think I think it's all like who 799 00:41:40,119 --> 00:41:42,400 do I want in my my my boys club? 800 00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:45,199 Speaker 1: I disagree with you and I have well I won't. 801 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,639 I won't name names, but people have asked us. People 802 00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:50,360 have asked us who they should vote for. Yes, yeah, 803 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,159 that is public. That is not them thinking of their 804 00:41:53,199 --> 00:41:55,840 own stuff like that is them, like you know, like, hey, 805 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,800 what are the arguments for this person of that person? Whatever? 806 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,280 Speaker 2: Like that is say Matt Savage every time. 807 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I always say side, but I have also 808 00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:06,360 said for a long time. You do say, yeah, I 809 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,440 see I I also say, Patrick Antonius, I guess, I 810 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,920 guess just a thought that popped in my mind. Does 811 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,280 anything change in regard to the Poker Hall Fame now 812 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,360 that GG Poker owns the b possibly? 813 00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:22,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean do they. 814 00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: Have more people get in there? 815 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:23,559 Speaker 2: Like? 816 00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 1: You know, how how does like do they even address it? 817 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,119 Does it just carry definitely. 818 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 2: Needs like a like a commissioner or something, and it 819 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:34,079 needs it does need a shake up. Maybe that's adding 820 00:42:34,119 --> 00:42:37,519 more people. Maybe that's changing the requirements, like it's forty 821 00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:42,639 two young. I would say maybe yes, But I guess 822 00:42:42,679 --> 00:42:44,119 we'll leave it up to them. You know, if I 823 00:42:44,159 --> 00:42:46,320 was a betting man, I'd probably say nothing would change. 824 00:42:46,679 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: I've always thought, and I think I think you and 825 00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:50,760 I might have talked about this. If not, I think 826 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:55,079 you'll agree. But at the live version of the WSP 827 00:42:55,159 --> 00:42:59,239 in the summer, I've always thought there should be a room, 828 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,119 a section, a hallway, whatever it is that's basically the 829 00:43:04,119 --> 00:43:08,239 basically a museum largely about like the Poker Hall of 830 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,679 Fame have a bunch of busts. There have nice displays 831 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,559 with photos and then paragraphs underneath where people can like 832 00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:16,679 walk through like you walk through in a museum and 833 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,079 you say, okay, hey, this is so and so this 834 00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:20,760 is the history here. You know, I'm gonna move on, 835 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,880 like almost like a whole little room that people could 836 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,719 enter and just that was it. There was a path 837 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,440 to walk you know, there was various exhibits. I know 838 00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:31,280 that that's me probably in my whole pipe dream mentality, 839 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,079 but like I think that there is so much rich, 840 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,639 rich history as it pertains to poker and then specifically 841 00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:40,639 the WSP that you could have that sort of thing 842 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,360 as a big exhibit at the World Series of Poker. 843 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 2: And we have it. We have it at the Poker room, 844 00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:49,960 pictures on the wall. What's funny you say? That is 845 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,199 actually I discussed with that, you know. 846 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 1: But that would be wouldn't that be a cool exhibit? 847 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,039 Speaker 2: Like yeah, I as you know, I've been collecting things 848 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,840 in case something like this happens. I have it in 849 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,920 a box at the office, he stored away, ready to 850 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,039 pull out if needed. But my I had a grand envision, 851 00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:10,400 a grand plan once to actually convert some of our set, 852 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,320 like you know, the say the outside of that table 853 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,079 be like the back of the stand where people you know, 854 00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:20,000 where there's nothing. Turn that into like some kind of 855 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,039 hall of fame display. You remember back at the Rio 856 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,199 in the Brazilian room where there was when we had 857 00:44:26,199 --> 00:44:31,480 the bracelets in the little plexiglass boxes and they were Yeah, 858 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,199 so take that concept, but for hall of fame stuff. 859 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,719 So I could put hypothetically, let's talk about some of 860 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,039 the cool stuff I have. You know, you know Doyle 861 00:44:41,079 --> 00:44:43,559 Ronson's last seat ticket that he ever played. You could 862 00:44:43,559 --> 00:44:45,400 put that in a box, little story about it. You 863 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,800 could take negran Who's signed button from his fifty k 864 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,920 in put it there. You could talk to You could 865 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,920 talk to Matt Waxman and ask him would you want 866 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,880 to donate your bracelet for for the six weeks, so 867 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,880 you get people to donate stuff just for the exhibit. 868 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: While also that would be just quickly that would be 869 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:06,360 like one cool exhibit portion is like the bracelet over 870 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,199 the years, Yeah, like the first one, the second one. 871 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,039 Like people can like literally walk down and be like, 872 00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:12,639 oh this is when it changed to this is when 873 00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:13,679 it like that would be still. 874 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 2: Do stuff like that, and like I would build it 875 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,519 into the set, but you know, I mean spending a 876 00:45:17,519 --> 00:45:19,199 lot of this money on the set, do we we 877 00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:20,679 don't own the Hall of Fame, so we're kind of 878 00:45:20,679 --> 00:45:23,199 stealing the idea, you know, are going to rob people 879 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,280 the wrong way. So we never did it this year, 880 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,760 but like it was always, it was discussed internally very 881 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,639 so for a very limited amount of time. 882 00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:33,599 Speaker 1: A little bit of a side story, but this is 883 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,599 kind of about this in a way. So when the 884 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,599 when the World Poker Tour first was going to have 885 00:45:39,639 --> 00:45:44,840 the final tables at the big Esports Arena at Luxor, 886 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,960 I was working with the World Poker Tour at the time, 887 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,199 and one of my big pitches was that have you 888 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,679 have you been in that arena the hyper x Yeah? 889 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. 890 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,639 Speaker 1: So, like you walk in, there's like the first little 891 00:45:58,679 --> 00:46:01,280 area where there's some gamings off, there's like some you know, 892 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,840 there's basically like a check in desk, et cetera. And 893 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,840 then you go kind of down like a little hallway. 894 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,639 There's double doors that opens up to like this what 895 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,440 is it like a little it's like a little it's 896 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,519 like a little rotunda area, you know, with like an 897 00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:16,239 elevated ceiling. There's actually a balcony up top where people 898 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:17,960 people that are up top on the second floor can 899 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,079 look down and then there's like another hallway and then 900 00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:24,119 like all this basically leads into like the big arena. Yeah, 901 00:46:24,199 --> 00:46:27,639 my vision that I pitched was to create like once 902 00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:29,679 you hit, like once you get past the checking desk 903 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,400 and hit these like double doors basically create the history 904 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,920 of the World Poker Tour as you walk from the 905 00:46:37,559 --> 00:46:39,880 check in desk all the way into the arena and 906 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,360 then like you know and like that, so like as 907 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,000 you're entering, whether you're a player or a fan, like 908 00:46:45,079 --> 00:46:48,519 you just start really getting that vibe, that energy, like 909 00:46:48,559 --> 00:46:51,760 you feel the history building, and then it culminates with 910 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,239 you going into the arena and either playing or watching 911 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,880 that final table. Same sort of thing like I could 912 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,239 see for the WSP, Like you walk into like where 913 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,000 the final table stage area is, and like it's you know, 914 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,000 there's a there's a walkway or a path where you 915 00:47:06,039 --> 00:47:08,719 can go where you can see the the different exhibits. 916 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,519 You can you can pause and you can you know 917 00:47:10,639 --> 00:47:13,000 be like oh, hey, like this is this is Doyle 918 00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:15,519 Brunson's like first win, this is the winnerfold, like this 919 00:47:15,599 --> 00:47:17,119 is that this is like all that sort of stuff 920 00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:20,239 I think would be pretty dope. So yeah, so now 921 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,440 that now that gg Poker owns it up. See Michael Kim, 922 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,039 if you're listening, he's want you want this idea, you 923 00:47:26,039 --> 00:47:27,880 can come to Tim and I and we will happily 924 00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:32,360 put it together for you. All right. So anyway back 925 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,920 to that, because we are off tangent Scott seever, so 926 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,960 he'll turn forty in April. We talked about that, We 927 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,800 talked about his time to get into the Hall of Fame. 928 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,599 I think he will eventually get into the Hall of Fame. 929 00:47:40,599 --> 00:47:43,320 I just don't know if it'll be next year first year, 930 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:48,239 because yeah, but seven WSP bracelets for him now, he 931 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,360 won three this year, one WPT title. He's got almost 932 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,079 twenty seven million dollars in live tournament earnings, high stakes cash. 933 00:47:55,079 --> 00:47:57,360 He certainly has stood the test of time. I think 934 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,280 he's respected by his peers for sure. So I've another 935 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,440 question about Scott sever And I heard someone make a 936 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,360 comment to me recently. I forget who it was exactly, 937 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,679 but the comment was about twenty five K fantasy and 938 00:48:12,519 --> 00:48:18,119 how much sever will go for next year. And my thought, 939 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,559 initially without having any information right now, is so let 940 00:48:23,599 --> 00:48:25,599 me see he went for thirty seven dollars this year, 941 00:48:25,639 --> 00:48:28,679 which based on his performance, three hundred and thirty four 942 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:33,840 points the third highest point getter is a criminal underspend. 943 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,440 But if he goes for what eighty ninety dollars next year, 944 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,519 do we know Scott Severs going to play a full 945 00:48:42,519 --> 00:48:50,039 schedule this year? We knew, Yes, we knew ish so quickly. 946 00:48:50,119 --> 00:48:52,559 Just one reason why, like we weren't in on Scott's 947 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,719 sever even though he had put out there that he's 948 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,960 going to be gunning for, is that we drafted him 949 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,000 a couple of years ago. He actually won the was 950 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,480 it the twenty five hundred dollars tournament early in the summer, 951 00:49:01,679 --> 00:49:04,159 and he told us he was going full on for 952 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,559 the whole series, and he, you know, he basically won 953 00:49:06,559 --> 00:49:08,239 that tournament early and then kind of went back to 954 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,639 cash games. So we were just like, you know, how 955 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,880 much how much is he really going to go? Right, 956 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,559 even if he says it's he really going to go 957 00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:18,400 full on, because it's a freaking grind, we all know that, right. Obviously, 958 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,119 he went the whole thing, He went to the wall, 959 00:49:20,159 --> 00:49:22,079 he went all out, and he won three bracelets and 960 00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:24,360 he won fasby Player of the Year. So are we 961 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,719 going to get WSP Player of the Year contending Scott 962 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,239 sever next year, bracelet bets all that sort of stuff. 963 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,480 Scott sever next year or are we not? If we're not, 964 00:49:34,079 --> 00:49:37,039 he should not go for ninety dollars, right, and then 965 00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:41,000 somebody will vastly overpay if he's just if he was like, 966 00:49:41,079 --> 00:49:43,320 this is the year, I'm all in, I'm gonna do 967 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,920 this thing. I'm going to dedicate myself to these tournaments. 968 00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:48,199 I did it, I achieved it. I got the Player 969 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,199 of the Year banner. You know, great, Now I'm going 970 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,039 to go back to playing high stakes cash when the 971 00:49:53,079 --> 00:49:56,079 cash games are crazy during the summer, and yeah, I'll 972 00:49:56,079 --> 00:49:58,320 pop in here and there. And not that Sever shouldn't 973 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,199 be drafted, because he should, you know, It's just it's 974 00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:04,199 a volume game at that point. So I just going 975 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,159 into next year, I would probably wonder if he's going 976 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,039 to be overvalued or undervalued just based on what we 977 00:50:11,079 --> 00:50:13,360 can expect from him. So would you expect Sever to 978 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,079 go like all out like he did this year again 979 00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:18,239 next year or maybe in the next like three years. 980 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 2: Let's say, I mean he made a commitment to do 981 00:50:20,519 --> 00:50:23,280 this this year, he had some bets. We have to 982 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,199 just know that he's doing this next year or not. 983 00:50:27,639 --> 00:50:30,880 He may be the him and Jason Mercier may be 984 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,800 the peak. The number one drop picks in unreliability when 985 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,320 it comes to WSP because they will play cash and 986 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,440 NonStop like they don't care that much unless they actually care, 987 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,559 and that means like bets or side bets or whatever 988 00:50:46,599 --> 00:50:49,760 they have. So yeah, if I was drafting Siva, I 989 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:54,159 would people, hey, hey, buddy, what's the plan this year? 990 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,400 Like I need to know, because yeah, he could be 991 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,119 worth one hundred and twelve dollars or we had twelve dollars. 992 00:51:00,159 --> 00:51:03,280 Speaker 1: Had that plan before and he even like he told 993 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:04,039 us he was all in. 994 00:51:04,199 --> 00:51:05,639 Speaker 2: But I need to know the bets. I need to 995 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,039 know how much he has in play. I don't care 996 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,519 like I need to know your dollar, your net worth, 997 00:51:11,559 --> 00:51:15,480 spend percentage allocated to bracelet bets with Texas mic. 998 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's tricky, and you're not always gonna 999 00:51:20,519 --> 00:51:23,800 get honest answers or the full answers you know that 1000 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,880 you need, so then it makes things a bit tricky. 1001 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,119 But I'm gonna say that right now, he's not gonna 1002 00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:32,679 be the same Scott sever that we saw this year 1003 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,239 in terms of volume. Of course, when he shows up 1004 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,239 Scott Severs as one of the best players in any 1005 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,559 field that he plays. You know, don't get me wrong there, 1006 00:51:39,639 --> 00:51:42,119 But from a volume perspective, I'm gonna say that this 1007 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,280 was more of a one and done type of thing. Also, like, 1008 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,920 are people going to be lining up to bet Scott 1009 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,000 sever after he just achieved what he achieved? 1010 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 1011 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 1: It's like they got burned and they're out. 1012 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 2: I can't repeat it, though, Yeah, but you can't repeat that. 1013 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,679 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I wouldn't. I wouldn't bet against 1014 00:51:56,679 --> 00:51:59,559 Scott's sever in repeating it. So he might, you know, 1015 00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:02,159 he might be surprise next year in fantasy where like 1016 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,880 somebody gets him for one hundred dollars and then you 1017 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,159 know he ends up playing only like twenty events and 1018 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,119 everyone like that that team is pissed, right, you know. 1019 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,679 So so yeah, that's just a tricky spot there. Anyway, 1020 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,119 moving on to Patrick Antonius, he was inducted into the 1021 00:52:18,159 --> 00:52:22,480 Poker Hall of Fame, in my opinion, in extremely deserving inductee. 1022 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,719 Happy to see Patrick Antonius, one of the absolute legends, 1023 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,400 one of the absolute goats in poker, getting into the 1024 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,719 Hall of Fame. I think twenty twenty was the first 1025 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,400 year that he was eligible, and as far as I'm concerning, 1026 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,320 he should have been nominated or in a finalist every 1027 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,320 single year. I don't know if he was exactly, but 1028 00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:44,039 should have been. And yeah, I've always thought Patrick Antonia 1029 00:52:44,079 --> 00:52:46,440 should get it, get in. So it's good to see 1030 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,760 him get in. I think he was very happy, very 1031 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,719 thrilled about being able to get in. You know, it's 1032 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,360 one of those things where in a way it's it's 1033 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,559 you know, it's great to see that your peers, you know, 1034 00:52:58,599 --> 00:53:00,679 these fellow Hall of Famers were affect you in that 1035 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:05,320 light to put you into this very elite club of people. Also, 1036 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,039 you know, on the Hall of Fame front, you know, 1037 00:53:07,039 --> 00:53:09,840 there's not many Europeans in there, so getting another European 1038 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,519 and then Patrick Antonia's being a finished getting him in 1039 00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:16,920 there as well. He doesn't have the tournament resume that 1040 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,119 a lot of others have, you know, he doesn't have 1041 00:53:19,639 --> 00:53:23,119 all the bracelets, the WPT titles, all this sort of stuff, right, 1042 00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:24,679 He's you know, he's been playing a lot of the 1043 00:53:24,679 --> 00:53:28,559 Triton stuff of course, but Antonia's mainly plays cash games, 1044 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,239 and in that regard, he's as far as I can 1045 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,239 tell still an absolute beast plays the highest stakes around, 1046 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,920 you know, all summer long he's playing four thousand, eight thousand, 1047 00:53:40,119 --> 00:53:42,280 three thousand and six thousand and five, ten whatever the 1048 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,719 heck it may be. And then just recently he was 1049 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,840 at that Triton Cash game festival playing you know, one thousand, 1050 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,360 two thousand and one, two five. I don't know what 1051 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,880 it was, pulling these savage bluffs with ten high, like 1052 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,920 just absolute banana's goat shit from Patrick Antonio. So it's 1053 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,639 good to see him in the Hall of Fame. 1054 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,159 Speaker 2: What say you? Yeah, I just checked the Finland all 1055 00:54:04,199 --> 00:54:06,639 time money list. He's on top. I wouldn't have actually 1056 00:54:06,679 --> 00:54:10,679 expect to be. He's crushing it well, I mean on 1057 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,360 top by so much, just twenty three million. The next 1058 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,599 up you high helping nine million. I didn't think it 1059 00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:18,320 would be such a big I think on the. 1060 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,519 Speaker 1: Big scores in the recent years, with all. 1061 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,159 Speaker 2: The trades, yeah over the Trent and stuff. Yeah. I 1062 00:54:22,199 --> 00:54:23,840 think we said during the series that he was going 1063 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,960 to get in. I was basing that all on popularity 1064 00:54:27,039 --> 00:54:31,159 and the cash game side of things. Very worthy to 1065 00:54:31,199 --> 00:54:32,800 get in. Good just you know, you made a really 1066 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,880 good point. Good to see European get in, trying get 1067 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,559 rid of these the heaviness of American players in the 1068 00:54:39,599 --> 00:54:40,119 Hall of Fame. 1069 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 1: But well, Americans are just the best poker players. But yeah, 1070 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,079 I don't know what you're I don't know what you're 1071 00:54:44,119 --> 00:54:47,920 talking about. Disagree absolutely, okay. 1072 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 2: But no, I mean I got no problems with it. 1073 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,880 I would have still liked to see some others get in. 1074 00:54:52,519 --> 00:54:56,679 We should have more people getting in, but that's up 1075 00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,079 for another day, all right. 1076 00:54:58,119 --> 00:55:02,519 Speaker 1: So congratulations to Patrick Antonius for getting in there. Poker 1077 00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:04,719 Hall of Famer. Now, I love to see it. I 1078 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,920 wish he would play more tournaments like WSP stuff, you know, 1079 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,239 because I think he would. He could put up some 1080 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,480 numbers there. But of course for him, it's all about 1081 00:55:13,639 --> 00:55:15,360 crushing the cash games and he certainly. 1082 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see him next week, maybe. 1083 00:55:18,079 --> 00:55:19,360 Speaker 1: I would guess he might. 1084 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:20,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1085 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,559 Speaker 1: Would he go down to Bahamas Paradise. 1086 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 2: Possibly if there's games on boats they remember. 1087 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:33,159 Speaker 1: Yes, trust me, I do remember. All right, you mentioned 1088 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,559 might see him next week. That would be for Super 1089 00:55:35,639 --> 00:55:39,199 High Roller Series, slash Bowl Slash Bowl Series. 1090 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:39,679 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1091 00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't really know what it's it's supposed to be 1092 00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:47,199 called I don't know the official name, but yeah, so 1093 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,079 Super high Roller series is kicking off in a few 1094 00:55:50,159 --> 00:55:54,039 days that is capped off by the Super high Roller Bowl. 1095 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:59,599 I expect numbers to be pretty big overall. I think 1096 00:55:59,639 --> 00:56:02,440 you an article the other day that said sixty players 1097 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:03,559 are more than sixty players. 1098 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 2: Sixty three confirmed players for the series though, right, not 1099 00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:09,400 for the series, sorry, not for the ball for the 1100 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,760 series that includes some PLO only players. Obviously, people may 1101 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,559 have dropped out, people may have added, you know, had 1102 00:56:18,559 --> 00:56:20,119 some players reach out to me the same. Yeah, I 1103 00:56:20,119 --> 00:56:22,480 think I might go now, so I don't know. I 1104 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,199 think sixty two was sixty three was much better than 1105 00:56:25,199 --> 00:56:28,440 I thought heading into this. The key here is that 1106 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,679 all the events are freeze outs at this stage, so 1107 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:32,840 that you know, we're not going to. 1108 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: Have a stage putting that in there for sure because 1109 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:36,079 it might change. 1110 00:56:36,119 --> 00:56:38,039 Speaker 2: Is that why? Well, we have two mystery bounties that 1111 00:56:38,079 --> 00:56:39,800 are freeze outs, and that doesn't make any sense to me, 1112 00:56:40,639 --> 00:56:43,360 and I feel like they may change other day. But yeah, 1113 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,719 they're all freeze out events, so that does help. I 1114 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,039 guess the quote unquote whales feel a bit more comfortable 1115 00:56:49,639 --> 00:56:52,639 playing these big of my own events and does it. 1116 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,039 I think so. On that list, I saw a lot 1117 00:56:55,079 --> 00:56:56,519 of names. I had no idea who they were. 1118 00:56:58,599 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 1: Okay, but did you like, I like, did you look 1119 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,599 at those names? Compare them to a trading list, because 1120 00:57:04,599 --> 00:57:06,239 there's a lot of people that play Tritons that I 1121 00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:07,840 have no idea who they are, and they're in there 1122 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,039 blasting and they can put as many bolts as they 1123 00:57:10,039 --> 00:57:10,800 want those things. 1124 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 2: Look, I mean, I'm just make it one re entry 1125 00:57:13,599 --> 00:57:16,000 if anything. But this is what they want to do, 1126 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,480 so we'll we'll support it, and we'll see how it goes, 1127 00:57:19,519 --> 00:57:22,039 see what the players think, and you know, who knows, 1128 00:57:22,199 --> 00:57:24,280 see what the numbers are. Maybe we get some people 1129 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,239 trickling in closer to the three hundred k buying and 1130 00:57:27,639 --> 00:57:34,280 firing that and they also the hundred k before it. 1131 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,719 Speaker 1: Was Tony G on your list. 1132 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,519 Speaker 2: I think I'm at liberty to say who's on the 1133 00:57:36,559 --> 00:57:38,719 list unless they gave me the okay to say that they're. 1134 00:57:38,519 --> 00:57:43,039 Speaker 1: On only because on the Trading Cash Game Festival, Cypress 1135 00:57:43,119 --> 00:57:45,519 was brought up with Cypress is where this series and 1136 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,119 Super highrollerbar are being held, and Tony G said that 1137 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,039 I think he said that he would come with Leon. 1138 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,519 I'm assuming that's Leon Supernecks. Oh yeah, they were talking 1139 00:57:56,519 --> 00:57:56,880 about it. 1140 00:57:57,559 --> 00:57:59,239 Speaker 2: Oh maybe we get them in so. 1141 00:57:59,039 --> 00:58:01,559 Speaker 1: So, you know, could could be some people like that. 1142 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,039 I think at the time Ivy was in the game. 1143 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,039 Speaker 2: Uh, Robert, I heard he's coming, but that he was 1144 00:58:07,039 --> 00:58:09,559 not in the original list, but I did hear he's attending, 1145 00:58:09,639 --> 00:58:10,480 so that's kind of exciting. 1146 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:15,159 Speaker 1: I would think Ivy would be there. I would think 1147 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:16,679 Robber Young will probably be there. 1148 00:58:16,719 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 2: Where was the cash game Montenegro sh fly Away right, Yeah. 1149 00:58:22,199 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: I would guess we'll see a fair amount of the 1150 00:58:25,039 --> 00:58:28,320 of the Triton guys. You know, I'm not sure how 1151 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,559 many of them will end up coming, but but we'll see. 1152 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,519 I I do think that it was it was probably 1153 00:58:34,519 --> 00:58:37,320 the right move. I'm not probably. I think it was 1154 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,599 the right move to move super High Rollable out of 1155 00:58:39,639 --> 00:58:43,440 the States. You know, maybe we lose it a couple 1156 00:58:43,519 --> 00:58:45,599 of players that might have played here in the US, 1157 00:58:45,639 --> 00:58:50,840 but it's just hard to run an event that size 1158 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,199 in the in the US given the current landscape. So 1159 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,559 I think these type of events, you know, it's just 1160 00:58:57,039 --> 00:59:01,079 better served elsewhere in the world. And this Cypress destination 1161 00:59:01,239 --> 00:59:05,480 nor Cypress at was it? Merrit Diamond Royal, I believe 1162 00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:09,119 is the property. So Merritt has several properties, and I 1163 00:59:09,119 --> 00:59:12,360 think this is the biggest and best, most luxurious one. 1164 00:59:12,639 --> 00:59:14,599 Speaker 2: Got it. I'm so confused, but I'm gonna figure it 1165 00:59:14,599 --> 00:59:15,239 out once I got that. 1166 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: I went to one years ago with Mickey Doff. Shout 1167 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,119 out Mickey Doft when I think it was a WPT event, 1168 00:59:22,159 --> 00:59:24,039 but like a full tilt event as well, like the 1169 00:59:24,159 --> 00:59:29,239 WPT full tilt something, and it was at I want 1170 00:59:29,239 --> 00:59:34,800 to say merrit Crystal Cove, which is one of their 1171 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,880 like lower scale properties, but still extremely nice like that, 1172 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,440 if that makes sense. Not to downplay how awesome that 1173 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,320 property was, because it was great. It was right on 1174 00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:45,519 the water. You walk right out, you know you could, 1175 00:59:45,559 --> 00:59:48,360 You're in the sand, you're swimming in the Mediterranean. Food 1176 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,760 was great, people were awesome, weather was awesome. So so yeah, 1177 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,119 a lot of fun there. So I'm a little bit 1178 00:59:53,159 --> 00:59:54,920 jealous that you're you're getting to go to this one. 1179 00:59:56,159 --> 00:59:58,079 Speaker 2: It's tough. If it's tough, man, I'm flying in a 1180 00:59:58,159 --> 00:59:59,760 die early. I got to die off. I'might have to 1181 00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,760 take a boat out on the Mediterranean. Who work twelve days? 1182 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,840 I'm going to go to Greece for three days, tourists 1183 01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:06,599 fly back. 1184 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,000 Speaker 1: What's on the schedule? 1185 01:00:10,039 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 2: All right, we're kicking it off with some hold them events. 1186 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,199 We're going to have as a little bit of a 1187 01:00:15,199 --> 01:00:18,079 weird schedule. But there's three to twenty five ks eight max, 1188 01:00:18,119 --> 01:00:20,280 then a seven max and a six max. Okay, we're 1189 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,480 going to do a fifty K seven max. We're gonna 1190 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,920 do one hundred K eight max. All these events two 1191 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,400 day events played down to a final table streaming the 1192 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:31,800 next day on Poker Go. Then we have a mystery bountie. 1193 01:00:33,079 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to about those streaming. I 1194 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,679 think it's Jeff and Brent on the commentary who we're 1195 01:00:37,679 --> 01:00:39,880 going to be waking up at the ass crack of dawn, 1196 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,400 maybe even when it's still dark out because of the 1197 01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:43,400 time difference, so. 1198 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:45,719 Speaker 2: That no, it's not that early. 1199 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:46,679 Speaker 1: Good luck, guys. 1200 01:00:47,199 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 2: What are you talking them? 1201 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: How early is it check in? How what's the time difference? 1202 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 2: Eight nine hours, eight am, eight am specific time. 1203 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,639 Speaker 1: You think Jeff Platt wakes up at eight am, Brent 1204 01:00:56,719 --> 01:00:58,519 for sure, because he's got kids. I get it. 1205 01:00:58,599 --> 01:01:01,039 Speaker 2: Jeff does chef's up early. By the way, these are 1206 01:01:01,039 --> 01:01:07,159 actually the lay is like six hours anyway, after that, 1207 01:01:07,199 --> 01:01:09,280 we have the three hundred k Super High Rollerball that's 1208 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:13,199 three days of poker streaming every day on poker Go. 1209 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,679 And then to conclude the series, it's not being streamed, 1210 01:01:17,239 --> 01:01:19,280 but we have a twenty five KPLO, a fifty k 1211 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:23,159 PLO and then the twenty five k PLO Mystery Bounty. 1212 01:01:23,719 --> 01:01:29,039 So lots of fun events.

Are there a lot of US 1218 01:01:47,599 --> 01:01:49,800 PGT regulars heading over there to play? 1219 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:49,920 Speaker 2: Like? 1220 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:50,599 Speaker 1: Would you say? 1221 01:01:50,719 --> 01:01:52,519 Speaker 2: I'll tell you the two biggest names.

He also has one hundred and 1245 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,599 two K on there as well, and then aram Zobian 1246 01:03:10,639 --> 01:03:12,480 has a bunch of different events on there, a couple 1247 01:03:12,519 --> 01:03:15,000 twenty five K bullets, fifty K bullet, and the hundred 1248 01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:18,039 K is on there as well. So if you guys 1249 01:03:18,039 --> 01:03:21,639 want to get action on those guys, then I would 1250 01:03:21,639 --> 01:03:24,360 head on over to poker steak dot com. There's also 1251 01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:28,880 some Poker Masters action that's starting to be listed. That's 1252 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,039 that's to come in September, so not too much on that. 1253 01:03:32,079 --> 01:03:33,840 But again, if you want to action on some of 1254 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,679 these elite players, you can have on over to poker 1255 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:39,920 steak dot com. So the leaderboard for the PGT, you 1256 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,920 mentioned that if these guys have a big result, they 1257 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,199 could move to the top of the leaderboard. The leaderboard 1258 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,159 currently is Michael Rocco up on top eighteen hundred and 1259 01:03:48,199 --> 01:03:52,079 thirty five points, follow followed by excuse me, Jonathan Tomayo, 1260 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,719 the twenty twenty four WSP Main Event champion. He's got 1261 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,519 seventeen hundred and thirty points. Jesse Lonis is third seventeen 1262 01:03:59,639 --> 01:04:04,079 hundred thirteen points, Daniel Negraanu sixteen hundred and sixty points, 1263 01:04:04,119 --> 01:04:07,320 Jeremy Osmas is in fifth fourteen ninety nine. Then it's 1264 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,760 a Ramzobian in sixth, Dylan Wiseman in seventh, David Coleman eighth, 1265 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,039 Jordan Griff who finished second to Tomio, He's in ninth, 1266 01:04:15,079 --> 01:04:18,480 and then Kristen Foxen is in tenth place. 1267 01:04:18,239 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 2: So. 1268 01:04:20,159 --> 01:04:23,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, we could see a bunch of these names in 1269 01:04:23,119 --> 01:04:25,800 the top ten heading over there. We're definitely gonna see Ozmas. 1270 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,239 I'm not sure on Jesse Lonis. I know he's in Florida. 1271 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,199 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe these guys get some pomo and yeah, get 1272 01:04:34,239 --> 01:04:34,760 out of the horse. 1273 01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,159 Speaker 1: I would guess we see Dylan Wiseman. Do we see 1274 01:04:37,199 --> 01:04:37,800 Dylan Wiseman? 1275 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,719 Speaker 2: No, I don't think we will. 1276 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,079 Speaker 1: We're gonna see Aram for sure. David Coleman, I would 1277 01:04:42,079 --> 01:04:44,320 guess is going he No, he. 1278 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:45,920 Speaker 2: Was out and then he was in, and then he 1279 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,599 was out and then he was back in. So I 1280 01:04:47,599 --> 01:04:48,480 don't know what he's done. 1281 01:04:48,519 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 1: Well, he also usually puts action up on Poker Steak, 1282 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:51,800 so I'm assuming if. 1283 01:04:51,639 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 2: He's also skipping pokemases, I believe. I mean, why he's 1284 01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,199 gone to Australia to play WBT fucking three K main 1285 01:04:59,239 --> 01:04:59,960 event in Australia. 1286 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 1: Have fun with that. 1287 01:05:01,639 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 2: Enjoy the kangaroos, buddy. 1288 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,119 Speaker 1: Will we see the Foxes? Do they travel the Europe? 1289 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,400 I think Have they played Triton events and stuff? 1290 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,079 Speaker 2: Oh? Maybe, I don't know. I feel like we could 1291 01:05:12,079 --> 01:05:16,280 see Victor blom well, yeah, like like he was not 1292 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:17,280 on the list. That's what I'm saying. 1293 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 1: I like, can we see Leana nine hundred? But he hasn't. 1294 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,239 He played some Triton stuff. 1295 01:05:23,679 --> 01:05:27,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, but man, the the big fifty five on Stars 1296 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,760 is under way that day, so he well it's not 1297 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,639 w coop yet, So that's what I'm saying, Like, maybe 1298 01:05:33,679 --> 01:05:36,920 he's just like I need to lock down the WOP. 1299 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 1: Well, we could get Victor Blom, like you said. And 1300 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,039 if we get Victor Blom, I'm guessing we get Michael 1301 01:05:42,119 --> 01:05:44,360 Rocco because those two were like going to the hip 1302 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:49,039 during the diacopy hanging out together. You mentioned roommates. Yeah, 1303 01:05:49,039 --> 01:05:54,480 you mentioned Santos, Brian Rass. Do we get him, He's 1304 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,920 a could Brian Kim. I think we'll get Brian Kim, 1305 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:00,519 Nick Seal Shulman. 1306 01:06:00,679 --> 01:06:01,480 Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. 1307 01:06:02,599 --> 01:06:05,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about Shulman. He's 1308 01:06:05,719 --> 01:06:07,599 he's a wild card as far as i'm. 1309 01:06:07,559 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 2: Big Hooney was in and then I think he's out now. 1310 01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:13,360 Speaker 1: But too much, too much club and for Big Hunie, he's. 1311 01:06:13,199 --> 01:06:15,559 Speaker 2: Got to prepare for the next July fourth party. 1312 01:06:16,079 --> 01:06:21,280 Speaker 1: Do we get Jared Blesnik No chance with the plow stuff. Yeah, 1313 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,199 even with all the ship talking he was doing about 1314 01:06:23,199 --> 01:06:25,840 the Nola and hold him, guys, he's not gone. We're 1315 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,519 definitely gonna get Adrian Matteo's I saw quote on him. 1316 01:06:28,559 --> 01:06:31,800 I saw quotes from Ben Heath, phil Ivy. Our guess is, yes, 1317 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,360 we should get the Finns Elis and Yoni and whoever 1318 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:37,159 else there's. 1319 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:41,239 Speaker 2: There's two Finns confirmed, Yoni and a guy that had 1320 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,559 never heard of Aku Nistu or something. 1321 01:06:44,639 --> 01:06:49,280 Speaker 1: He's he's a big finish Yeah, so. 1322 01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 2: They were confirmed, but that's all I can remember seeing. 1323 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 1: What about Sammy Sippolo. 1324 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,239 Speaker 2: Didn't see his name on the list, Jonas Cronwalder didn't 1325 01:07:01,239 --> 01:07:03,199 see his name on the list. I would. 1326 01:07:04,719 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna get Sergio Aido. No, 1327 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,760 he's oh, he's in Okay, Yeah, he's just like a quote. 1328 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,719 He's been on like a freaking foodie tour. 1329 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,039 Speaker 2: In preparation, in preparation for Cyprus. 1330 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,119 Speaker 1: The ones that I'm wondering about are like these big 1331 01:07:20,159 --> 01:07:23,360 trading guys, so like Danny Tang obviously Paul Fois, those 1332 01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,320 types of guys. We're gonna we can get those guys 1333 01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,239 to cross on over to to play this series. Or 1334 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:29,679 Jason Kohn, for example. 1335 01:07:30,119 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 2: Not sure. Yeah, those names were not on the list, 1336 01:07:33,199 --> 01:07:35,599 wouldn't surprise me. I mean, obviously I was looking at 1337 01:07:35,599 --> 01:07:38,880 a list of reservations that were a couple of weeks ago, 1338 01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,760 so a lot can change in the last two weeks. 1339 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,159 I mean, maybe we have one hundred people that are registered. 1340 01:07:44,199 --> 01:07:46,960 So I guess we'll see once we Childwick kicked the 1341 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:52,239 tour off. Didn't see his name. I mean I would 1342 01:07:52,239 --> 01:07:55,320 probably see Chidwick. We probably see Petangelos in. Yeah, we've 1343 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,840 probably in. We probably see Sean Winter, Seth Davis is in. 1344 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,559 Isaac Hackson. I can't remember saying his name, but I 1345 01:08:05,559 --> 01:08:07,119 feel like he's one of the couple names that I 1346 01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,199 would I feel like ik is someone that just I. 1347 01:08:11,199 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: Kind of I kind of lean that they're going to 1348 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,440 get in, even if they might not be on a 1349 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,880 list that you saw or whatever. It's feel like it, 1350 01:08:17,039 --> 01:08:20,199 you know, in eric'sidell, I think is probably gonna come 1351 01:08:23,239 --> 01:08:25,760 and yeah, we'll see. I mean, if if there's like 1352 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:30,640 Christoph Voegel saying, I think would certainly play, Ben Heath 1353 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,920 is a good one because obviously he doesn't come over 1354 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,319 to the States to play PGT events, you know, but 1355 01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:37,319 he'll play a lot of the trit and stuff. He's 1356 01:08:37,319 --> 01:08:39,880 obviously going to play this one. If we're getting Ben Heath, 1357 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,680 if we're getting Nick Pachangelo, I'm guessing we're getting Orpen 1358 01:08:43,239 --> 01:08:47,000 Cogloo come over and play. So so yeah, it's gonna 1359 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,279 be a good feel. Chris Brewer, we're gonna get him. 1360 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 2: I can't remember saying him made that. 1361 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: Actually, I would think we might get Brewer. I would 1362 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,279 think we would get not Cho Barbara, although I'm not 1363 01:08:57,319 --> 01:09:00,159 really sure. What's interesting is that a lot a lot 1364 01:09:00,199 --> 01:09:03,159 of these these players that we are either going to 1365 01:09:03,239 --> 01:09:05,600 get for sure because we know, or we might get 1366 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:10,279 like like a Jeremy Osmas for example, he's never played 1367 01:09:10,279 --> 01:09:13,960 super high rollable. Yeah, and a lot of these guys 1368 01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:19,159 have not played super high rollable. Maybe maybe there's somebody 1369 01:09:19,159 --> 01:09:21,680 like Jeremy who you know, is an American, right, and 1370 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,760 he just hasn't played in the States because it hasn't 1371 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,720 been something a tournament that he's viewed as valuable. 1372 01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:27,079 Speaker 2: Right. 1373 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: But now that it's it's over in Europe, the field 1374 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,479 is going to be much larger. Maybe he views it 1375 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,720 as a little bit softer, so he's going to take 1376 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,159 his shots. Sell the action. It obviously helps to win 1377 01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:39,399 a boatload of money like he did at the World 1378 01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:41,760 Series of Poker this year, of course, so he's going 1379 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,720 to make the jump to go play there, and then 1380 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:45,600 a lot of these other guys you know that that 1381 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,520 don't come over or at least previously haven't come over 1382 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,000 to the US to play the Super High rolevel when 1383 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,479 it was in the States, partly because of the laws 1384 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,279 and the taxes and all that sort of stuff being 1385 01:09:57,319 --> 01:09:59,319 a hindrance. And then also just at the Super High 1386 01:09:59,359 --> 01:10:01,279 Rollable in the State, it's given all of that sort 1387 01:10:01,279 --> 01:10:03,960 of stuff is just it's harder to get a larger 1388 01:10:04,079 --> 01:10:06,800 player pool. So because of that, you know, you're gonna 1389 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,119 get a lot of those guys that will frequent all 1390 01:10:09,159 --> 01:10:12,359 of the Trident stops, for example, come and then hopefully 1391 01:10:12,359 --> 01:10:14,960 play this series, hopefully play the Super High Rollable. So 1392 01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:17,680 I think that's that's really cool. I think we saw 1393 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,520 that a couple of years ago when we did the 1394 01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:23,439 Super High Rollable Europe in Cyprus. You know, we did 1395 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,600 what was it two installments of that. You know, you 1396 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,199 saw a lot of guys that we wouldn't see for 1397 01:10:27,199 --> 01:10:31,520 the regular Super High Rollable stuff. So I mean big picture, like, 1398 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,600 hopefully a lot of these guys get in there, they're 1399 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,840 able to bank a bunch of PGT points and then 1400 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,880 that then entices them to continue to chase that leaderboard 1401 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:42,760 standing so they can finish in the top forty and 1402 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,520 they can ultimately qualify for the million dollar free role. 1403 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,359 I would love to see that out of specifically phil Ivy, 1404 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,560 that's the one I want in the free roll, So 1405 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,199 let's go. He had some results of course at the 1406 01:10:53,199 --> 01:10:56,439 World Series of Poker, he won a bracelet, So can 1407 01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:00,520 we get phil Ivy in the free roll? Can we please? 1408 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:01,199 One time? 1409 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 2: Let's let's go. 1410 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:07,600 Speaker 1: So after Super High Rollable Series, Slash Bowl, Slash Series Bowl, 1411 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,119 also the debut of the new Onyx Club.
