00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the

2
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His name

3
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>is Tim Duckworth. Two days, two podcasts. Well, I don't

4
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>really know when this is getting released, but you know,

5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>we'll figure it out. But we've been cranking them out,

6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, because we got a lot of stuff to

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about. We're back in the saddle. I love it.

8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I know Tim loves it, even though I don't. I

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>don't get the vibe that he's loving it. I got

10
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 1>the vibe that you were loving it yesterday. You know,

11
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you had your shirt off. You were just free flowing

12
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>like you're ready to go.

13
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I got a busy day today. I'm just.

14
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Today. You're the one with the heart out.

15
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 2>I got the hot at today. Yeah.

16
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>So about thirty five minutes, we'll try and crank through

17
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>some more of the topics I know on the on

18
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>the most recent episode, we hit on GG poker buying

19
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the Basic, and then we hit on laptop gate, which

20
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>I think we were corrected on Twitter saying whatever, same thing.

21
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 1>So we hit on that sort of stuff. We got

22
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>a couple more items that we do want to tackle

23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 1>and get our thoughts out there about and discuss first

24
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>things first, WSP Paradise is back. It was announced recently.

25
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>They announced it, and then everything happened with laptop slash, Salvergates,

26
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 1>the gd Poker bought the ws A p and it

27
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>almost feels like that people kind of forgot about WSP

28
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Paradise for a little bit. I'm assuming that momentum will

29
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>will rebuild for DOBASITPY Paradise. So we're gonna hit on that.

30
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 1>We got Scott sever winning Player of the Year, which.

31
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

32
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>He had one of the most incredible summers ever, if

33
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>not the most incredible summer ever, and it just feels

34
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>like no one's talking about It's just like like, is

35
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 1>there an even an article on WISP dot com. I

36
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. I mean they bounced it via a

37
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>tweet at like twelve thirty four in the morning.

38
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they did do that. I have Patrick Antonius announced,

39
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I have Chuck Todd Durant preview Paradise Paradise Cherokee preview s.

40
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeahswer to you is no, it was not an announced.

41
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Patrick Antonio's he's in the Hall of Fame.

42
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Now we're going to hit on that. I know that's

43
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>that's somewhat old news. But hey, listen, this is our podcast.

70
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you listened to dat this week,

71
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 1>this recent one. I only listened to maybe fifteen twenty

72
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>minutes of it, but there was one line in there

73
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>from Daniel Legrando when he said, wisbe Paradise is not

74
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>going anywhere, And the way he said it was like,

75
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>if you want to contend with us in December, meaning

76
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>gg poker slashsp then good luck, have fun, because we're

77
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 1>doing this every year and we're doing it big, as

78
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>evidenced by the fact that in the second year it

79
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>returns to Atlantis in the Bahamas with a fifty million

80
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>dollar guaranteed main event or I should say sorry, super

81
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 1>main event. Okay, the largest tournament guarantee ever this year

82
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it does come with a twenty five thousand dollars buy in.

83
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts over there when you saw the

84
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>news fifty million.

85
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Huge, massive, and then I saw that it came with

86
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 2>the twenty five K prize points, so I lost a

87
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit of interest, to be honest. Now, my first

88
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>thoughts was, is this pocustars? You know, this is a

89
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:10.759
<v Speaker 2>very PSPC ish Nothing wrong with that, honestly, Look, not

90
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>a fan, not a fan of the battle between them

91
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>and WPT. I'm not a fan of a twenty five

92
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>k main event, you know. But they're doing what they

93
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>want to do. I don't think they're going to miss

94
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>the guarantee. We said that all last year that they

95
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't miss a single one. They didn't. I feel the

96
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>same this year. The series is pretty pretty damn robust

97
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 2>for uh, you know, the client tell they're targeting, so

98
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>it'd be fun. I wouldn't mind going to to be

99
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 2>on site, but you know, I can't really afford some

100
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>of these buyans, so I'll have to skip it.

101
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So speaking of some of the buyans, I mean,

102
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>of course we mentioned the twenty five thousand dollars super

103
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>main event. I'm just going to hit on on what

104
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the schedule is and then I'll give some thoughts as well.

105
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>And Tim and I'll talk about this a little bit further,

106
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>But you have a WSP Mini Main Event five million

107
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 1>dollar guarantee, that is event number one, twenty five hundred

108
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>dollars buy in. You have a Triton Million. That's something

109
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>else that is coming with the Bisbee Paradise this time

110
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>around is that they have partnered with Triton. So this

111
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Triton Million is it's a million dollar buying in the

112
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 1>format of one VIP slash businessman, slash invited player, I

113
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>don't really know how to call them, and then one

114
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>pro and those people kind of like team up together

115
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>in a way like if you're the VIP, you can

116
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.519
<v Speaker 1>invite one pro. Each person puts up five hundred thousand

117
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 1>dollars and you play. So the buy in is listed

118
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 1>as two times five hundred thousand dollars. You have a

134
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Bounty tur about five thousand dollars buying. So yeah, I

135
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 1>mean you touched on the buy ins, Tim, I mean,

136
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>what are your first thoughts on what they're presenting here?

137
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Lowest buying being twenty five hundred dollars.

138
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 2>It's big, bring you money, as simple as that. Like

139
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 2>I touched on before, that they're targeting a certain group

140
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 2>of players. They're targeting obviously people coming and playing a

141
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>big package of events. I think they may have missed

142
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>on some things, like the twenty five k Dealer's Choice

143
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I think is going to not work at all. There's

144
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 2>no there's no other mixed games to really convince mixed

145
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>games specific players to come. But sure, yeah, Daniel Togron

146
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 2>to Seande josh Aria, they're going to be there, they'll

147
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>play it, but you're not really getting any of the

148
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>mixed guys, the mixed only guys out there. So I

149
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 2>feel like they could have gone without that and just

150
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>added another twenty five k no limit hold them heads

151
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>up tournament or something, you know, like something that fits

152
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the majority of the player pool that are there. We

153
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>all know Ohamas as expensive, so you can't really have

154
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>three hundred dollars buy in bracelet events. You need to

155
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.039
<v Speaker 2>start at that twenty five hundred price point, and even

156
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 2>who knows, maybe that's a little too on the low side,

157
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>but it's a good schedule for a lot of people

158
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 2>out there, and I think it's going to just have

159
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>as much interest this year pending a few keys, and

160
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>although we haven't heard anything, that's the most important thing

161
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 2>to make this successful is basically doubling down on the

162
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 2>incentives they gave players, So there was lots of free rooms,

163
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>there was lots of packages given out. There was also

164
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>those I guess you could call it rake back promotions,

165
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 2>the bracelet promotions, the cashers promotions, stuff like that really

166
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 2>incentivize people to go. And that's how they hit all

167
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>their guarantees. Now, if none of that comes back, will

168
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 2>they hit these numbers? You know, we always talk about

169
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>the first year is always the best year. It's the

170
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>second year is the hardest. We found that in our series.

171
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, other tours have acted the same way. So

172
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 2>if they don't bring if they don't bring those you know,

173
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>incentives back, will people want to go to the Bahamas?

174
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Or will they want to go to EPT Prague, or

175
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.759
<v Speaker 2>they want to go to WPT World Championship. Will they

176
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 2>want to just stay home for Christmas? So I think

177
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty important and hopefully the quicker they get that

178
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 2>stuff out, the more likely they can stop filling rooms

179
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and making sure they hit all these numbers.

180
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, one of the incentives is already out there, and

181
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 1>that is the Super Saver one million Dollar Invitational. So

182
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>this takes place on the looks like the final day

183
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 1>of the series. So the series does run December sixth

184
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 1>through nineteenth. The Super Saver Invitational kicks off on December eighteenth,

185
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>so second to last day there. So this is a

186
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 1>one million dollar free roll tournament that is open to

187
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>bracelet holders who participate in the Super Main Event. So

188
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 1>if you have a WSP Gold bracelet, it sounds like

189
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter where it comes from, online, live, GG

190
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 1>poker here in the States, whatever it may be, and

191
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 1>you play the twenty five thousand dollars buying Super Main Event,

192
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>then you qualify for this million dollar free roll tournament.

193
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>It's also open to one hundred K package early bird purchasers.

194
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Now what this is is for a limited time only.

195
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>This is all listed on doubysip dot com, So if

<v Speaker 1>you guys want to find this stuff, you can go

203
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand dollars by November first. This is very

204
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 1>confusing how this reads Atlanta's front wire of one hundred

205
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars by November first. Free fourteen nights sweet room.

206
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've been to Atlantis. It's expensive as all

207
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 1>hell to go down there, so free fourteen nights is good.

208
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 1>You of course get entry into the one million dollars

209
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Super Saver Invitational. You get VIP airport pickup at NASA Airports.

210
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, listen, if if you're one of those

211
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.799
<v Speaker 1>people who are gonna go down there, you know, like

212
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the players that play in these high

213
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>roller events, whether it be Triton, whether it be the

214
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>PGT or elsewhere, you should probably just do this, you know,

215
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>get your money in and then get the free fourteen

216
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 1>nights room. Of course, you get into this million dollar

217
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 1>free roll, So there's that. And then it's also open

218
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to to GG Poker package winners, so the Super Saver

219
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Invitational bracelet holders, who participate in the Super Maine hundred

220
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>K package, early bird purchasers, and GG Poker Package winners.

221
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:29.799
<v Speaker 1>So that's printy enticing, I think for a lot of

222
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>people to go down there. Now, I don't fully know

223
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>about the price points. I mean, it's clear that they're

224
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>tacking a certain area of the playing community, right the

225
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>high rollers. I'm assuming with a lot of this stuff

226
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of these events, a few of them

227
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 1>at least you have the GG Masters Online Championship, you

228
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>have the whereas its Mystery Millions Online.

229
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:51.759
<v Speaker 2>You know.

230
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming WSP Super Main Event is going to have

231
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>online stuff in it as well. Maybe even this WSP

232
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Mini Main Event will have online stuff. So probably have

233
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of online to live formation of these tournaments.

234
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>So I will say that it's probably not entry point

235
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>of twenty five hundred dollars for all this sort of stuff.

236
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>It's probably entry point if you can, you know, get

237
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>on GG poker and play. I don't know what they'll

238
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>they'll have there just yet. I don't know if that's

239
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>been announced. Apologies of it has and I missed it

240
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 1>to them, But I'm assuming there's gonna be a lot

241
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 1>of different avenues, different pathways for people to you know,

242
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>funnel themselves into these events, win packages, all that sort

243
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. Like you I get some PSBC vibes from

244
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 1>the Super Main Event and about the supermin Event, I'm

245
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of surprised that it was allowed to be called

246
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 1>the Super main Event, saying that now is different than

247
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 1>when this announcement first came out. This announcement came out

248
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 1>before GG poker announced that they were buying the ever

249
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Speed yep right, obviously saying it now gg pokern can

250
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>do it at once. Okay, I mean the deal is

251
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>not fully complete. I think it's going to take till

252
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of the year to like actually get approved

253
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and all that sort of stuff. But for all intents

254
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.399
<v Speaker 1>and purposes, it's done.

255
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Right.

256
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Super Main Event implies that it's better than the main exactly.

257
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I hate so.

258
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't the was main event in the

259
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>summer is the flagship. It should always be the flagship.

260
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Like so, so is this and I could be getting

261
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.399
<v Speaker 1>people in trouble for something that hasn't been done yet.

262
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Is this assigned to the future of

263
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>ideas for a bigger main event. You're calling it the

264
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.559
<v Speaker 1>super main Event. You have a bigger buy and there's

265
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 1>always been that that conversation, not that you and I

266
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>agree with it, but like, will they have a raise

267
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:49.639
<v Speaker 1>that it be main event? Buy in. You know, ten

268
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.399
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars today is what it was ten twenty, thirty

269
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>years ago, et cetera. Like there's always that conversation. So

270
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.919
<v Speaker 1>is this like a plan going forward? I mean, you're

271
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you're coming out with a fifty million dollar guarantees. So

272
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>not that you're not that you're challenging the WSP Main

273
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Event price pool yet, which is you know, almost pushing

274
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>one hundred million now, right, But I mean coming out

275
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>with fifty million, you're setting the foundation for this quote

276
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>unquote super main Event pretty lofty. So is the goal

277
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to you know, eventually have like basically a second version

278
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>of the WSP Main Event that takes place in the

279
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>summer I at a Caesar's property for the next twenty

280
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 1>years according to the press release, like at Paradise. Is

281
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.679
<v Speaker 1>that kind of the plan here? Or long term? I'm

282
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>talking long term? You know it's gonna obviously this isn't

283
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.279
<v Speaker 1>gona happen this year, next year or the year after that.

284
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's going to take five, ten, fifteen years, whatever.

285
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>So is that the plan here? I don't know. I'm

286
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:45.759
<v Speaker 1>just I'm just throwing stuff out there.

287
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the plan is this variety in the scheduling

288
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 2>in the WSP brand. I think it was a little

289
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>bit of a failure to call it the super main event.

290
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, super is the wrong word. It should be

291
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 2>something related to the price like but I think they

292
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe it's more of like, how do we

293
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>differentiate the main event from the main event? As in,

294
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>so there's a world where maybe next year we see

295
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the WSP year, it may event be five K, you know,

296
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.039
<v Speaker 2>something like that, where it's a different price point, a

297
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>different kind of style, so that then all three main

298
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>events are slightly different. I think that's where they may

299
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>be leaning towards more than anything else. But who knows.

300
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that the Vegas one will ever be

301
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty five K. I don't think. I don't know.

302
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I agree, you know, but what I'm getting at is,

303
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 1>does with the buy in, with the guarantee, with the

304
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the marketing aspect of calling it super, you know, does

305
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.759
<v Speaker 1>this in a way take some shine away from the

306
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>WSP main event. I don't know yet. I'm just this

307
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>is me just kind of working on some takes on

308
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.159
<v Speaker 1>the fly in my head. I'm not sure where I'm

309
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 1>going to come out on this this all. I mean,

310
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 1>the man event is the biggest and the best, and

311
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it will always be that.

312
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it would take anything off the luster

313
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 2>of the main event, the main the Vegas main event

314
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.319
<v Speaker 2>is the main event, and I think everyone sees it

315
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:19.440
<v Speaker 2>that way. It would take a lot, a lot.

316
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I understand that. I understand that it would take a lot.

317
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>But if you were if you were the person who

318
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>had a lot to be able to do it, wouldn't

319
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 1>you do some things like make something named better than

320
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the other thing, have a bigger buy, and come out

321
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 1>with a massive guarantee the quarter. That also doesn't mean

322
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 1>live poker.

323
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.559
<v Speaker 2>There needs to be more of that. Think of the

324
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.039
<v Speaker 2>history the fifty was it fifty two years or something?

325
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five years of the ten thousand dollars event?

326
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.839
<v Speaker 1>And you can talk never you could never battle with history.

327
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>You can't battle with history. And like maybe in fifty

328
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.839
<v Speaker 2>years we can have a discussion, but right now it's yeah,

329
00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:58.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not happening.

330
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm basically just all I'm doing right now is I'm

331
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 1>planting the seeds. I'm asking various questions that maybe in

332
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 1>ten years you and I can get back on a

333
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:10.720
<v Speaker 1>podcast someday and see if we're right or wrong is

334
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>all I'm doing, you know, because this obviously isn't going

335
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 1>to come anytime soon. This twenty five K Dealer's Choice

336
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:23.480
<v Speaker 1>is certainly the ugly duckling of the schedule, Like it's

337
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.640
<v Speaker 1>just it sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

338
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just it's there. It's at a price

339
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>point that's very high. So I'm I mean, it's clear

340
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:39.599
<v Speaker 1>that this whole schedule was attached or was made to

341
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 1>attack a certain clientele of player, right, and then you

342
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.839
<v Speaker 1>just kind of shoehorn that one in there. And I

343
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many of the players that you're going

344
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>after also play a twenty five K Dealer's Choice. It

345
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 1>just it seems a little bit weird to me.

346
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>It will probably get forty players because you'll get Danny

347
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Tang registering for it and stuff like that. You'll still

348
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker 2>get an okay turn out. You're not going to get Sure.

349
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 2>You're probably not getting David od b Bacon. You're not

350
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>probably you might get Senheimer. You're not getting the the

351
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 2>mixed game guys, you know, that's.

352
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>All you're gonna You're only going to get the mixed

353
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 1>game guys who also play the big no limit stuff, correct,

354
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.799
<v Speaker 1>And it would be my guest. I mean, unless there's

355
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.559
<v Speaker 1>probably there's probably some people that might go some mixed

356
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 1>game people who are well versed enough in No limit

357
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 1>hold them and want to play the Super main event

358
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that might go like you might get those people too, right,

359
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's interesting. I mean, they're clearly going

360
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 1>big from this schedule. I mean, it's it's out of control.

361
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>It's fifteen gold bracelet events. I mentioned the two Triton events,

362
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.039
<v Speaker 1>the Tradon Million and the Triton Main Event. Not only

363
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 1>do you have that fifty million dollar guarantee, you have

364
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.279
<v Speaker 1>three five million dollar guarantees, you have a two and

365
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a half million dollar guarantee, you have a one million

366
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:03.519
<v Speaker 1>dollar guarantee that that's super the Savior Invitational. So, I mean,

367
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:09.839
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's robust. It's certainly headline grabbing where I

368
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:11.640
<v Speaker 1>sit right now, and this is going to start to

369
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 1>lead into our well, actually, first before I get into that,

370
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.519
<v Speaker 1>the partnership with Triton Poker is is interesting. You know,

371
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 1>it creates a bit of a three headed monster in

372
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ways. You know, you obviously have GG

373
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Poker and WSP who have been partners for you know,

374
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:32.160
<v Speaker 1>several years, and now GG Poker recently you know, acquired

375
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 1>or at least announced the acquisition of the WSP brand,

376
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and now they are partnering with Triton to bring that in.

377
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:42.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're probably gonna get all the all the Triton

378
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.119
<v Speaker 1>players you know are going to be going down there.

379
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.039
<v Speaker 1>And we know how big and crazy and exciting and

380
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:50.319
<v Speaker 1>fun and competitive those fields are that happen in all

381
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:52.319
<v Speaker 1>the different Triton events around the world. So you're going

382
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 1>to have that one thing that this has done. And

383
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, from where I sit right now, Tuesday, August thirteenth,

384
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>nine forty six am, they won December.

385
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, na get out of here.

386
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, let's go here. I want to hear your argument.

387
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what why have they won December?

388
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, can you tell me where the WPT is? Hello,

389
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 1>WPT wake up please. I don't know if you saw,

390
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.559
<v Speaker 1>but your biggest competitor has dropped the largest live tournament

391
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 1>guarantee in history and it's coming out with an absolute bang.

392
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Has pardoned with Triton all this sort of stuff. Where

393
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:33.279
<v Speaker 1>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
<v Speaker 1>where huh huh? Like where are they? Look, I always

395
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.640
<v Speaker 1>had all we've had for months now are dates.

396
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. Dates is okay. I've blucked it off on

397
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.599
<v Speaker 2>the calendar. It's good. I know when it is. Look,

398
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.039
<v Speaker 2>we know what's going on, and we obviously have some

399
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.960
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes knowledge though you know, we don't really

400
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 2>need to discuss, but you know they're going they're both

401
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:57.680
<v Speaker 2>playing chickens with each other. All.

402
00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I have zero behind the scenes A lot.

403
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.160
<v Speaker 1>If I had some behind the scenes knowledge, I would

404
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.799
<v Speaker 1>I would have some insight here. But I have nothing,

405
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.359
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I'm wondering where the heck is WPT.

406
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing. Look, look, WBT announced that dates when

407
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>like March or something. They announced it very early.

408
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Way early.

409
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is fine. You put a luck Now we know.

410
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker 2>The next step is wait, let's see what WSP does.

411
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 2>They announced their big chop. So once they announced their

412
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:26.720
<v Speaker 2>big chop, WPT and I go, okay, now we have

413
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>that info, let's figure out how schedule. Are we doing

414
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.480
<v Speaker 2>a twenty five million guarantee? We're doing a fifty million guarantee? Yeah,

415
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:32.599
<v Speaker 2>we do.

416
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Questions to you, are what's their guarantee going to be

417
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>If you had to guess what was it last ya

418
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>forty and they missed, it's more than two million.

419
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.279
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be forty again guaranteed. In my mind,

420
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they're going down. I don't think they

421
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they can go down.

422
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, that was the whole argument that we put forth

423
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 1>last year, is why you don't go twenty five exactly? Yea,

424
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.559
<v Speaker 1>then you can't go down. Like we've had this problem

425
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>within the PGT, you know, like we're like, once you

426
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.200
<v Speaker 1>do something, you can't put that cat back in the bag.

427
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.039
<v Speaker 1>It just ain't happening. And if you do it, if

428
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:09.799
<v Speaker 1>you put stuff back in the bag, it looks negative.

429
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 1>People come at you for it. You know, they wonder,

430
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, is stuff really bad? Behind the scenes,

431
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 1>because you know, they're not going as big as they

432
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>once did. That's why you just gradually build up.

433
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they're probably planning that stuff. They're also planning

434
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:28.440
<v Speaker 2>the side events. You know, it'd be very smart for

435
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 2>WPT to stay completely away from the high rollers and

436
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 2>and like we've kind of done on the PGT, focus

437
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.240
<v Speaker 2>on that price point of sub ten K. I think

438
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.279
<v Speaker 2>that is a really big price point in America. And then,

439
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.559
<v Speaker 2>and the reason I say Bahamas hasn't won yet is

440
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.000
<v Speaker 2>because I think we know first hand the amount of

441
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 2>our players. And I've had out one of our players

442
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.400
<v Speaker 2>speak directly to me and said and ask, like I

443
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 2>would I want to be I'd rather stay here, so

444
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.480
<v Speaker 2>like then go to is regardless of all the stuff

445
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:01.920
<v Speaker 2>that's there.

446
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Like well, and for that player, I'm going to give

447
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you fifty Triton players that are going to Paradise.

448
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you might. You can obviously change his mind. There's

449
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.279
<v Speaker 2>ways to change his mind. He's just saying that. I

450
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:14.240
<v Speaker 2>think the I would say ninety seven percent Now, that's

451
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 2>that's ninety seven percent of the player pool that's targeted

452
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 2>for Bahamas that lives in America outside of Florida would

453
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.079
<v Speaker 2>be more interested in going to Vegas than going to Bahamas. Now,

454
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that ninety seven percent only goes to the win.

455
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's ways to incentivize them to bring that

456
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:36.400
<v Speaker 2>percentage down. But there's definitely going to be players that

457
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 2>just like I ain't going to Bahamas. Doesn't matter. You

458
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:42.400
<v Speaker 2>can't convince me otherwise. I am ten minute drive to

459
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the win. Why do I want to go spend twenty

460
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.160
<v Speaker 2>k in accommodation and travel expenses in the Bahamas.

461
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 1>So well, if if GG Poker you know, comes out

462
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 1>with you know, we've qualified x hundred players, you know,

463
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 1>all this sort of stuff, if they if they take

464
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of stealing from what the PSBC did,

465
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:02.440
<v Speaker 1>what Poker Stars did with that event, you know, really

466
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.559
<v Speaker 1>really putting those qualifiers in the spot like where you

467
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.240
<v Speaker 1>saw like you know, some random guy from a random

468
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:13.400
<v Speaker 1>casino is playing his first tournament buying over two hundred dollars, Like,

469
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, they put that stuff out there, and like

470
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:17.000
<v Speaker 1>they kept doing it, and they did it with like

471
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 1>three hundred qualifiers that that draws in the pros, right.

472
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a couple of our PGT players

473
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:27.359
<v Speaker 1>who basically said, like, you know, for every one amateur

474
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 1>slash recreational qualifier type player who like doesn't belong in

475
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>these high roller fields, it draws in like six to

476
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>seven pros. Like that's how they kind of equated, you know.

477
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.599
<v Speaker 1>So so yeah, if they really go gangbusters with like

478
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.240
<v Speaker 1>putting it out there, who are these qualifiers are? How

479
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:48.759
<v Speaker 1>they got in? Like this guy won for one dollar,

480
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, he normally plays you know, one dollar flipping

481
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.279
<v Speaker 1>gos on GG poker, blah blah blah, like this is

482
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 1>his story here he is like, you know, put him

483
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>out there like that really starts to invite you know,

484
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the sharks to come feast on the minnows down there

485
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.640
<v Speaker 1>in the Bahamas. So I'm interested to see how that

486
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.039
<v Speaker 1>marketing element plays out. I'm always very like I mean,

487
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 1>I do a lot of marketing within the industry, and

488
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I am always drawn to like what other places are

489
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 1>doing with their marketing. So I'm very interested to how

490
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:21.920
<v Speaker 1>they're going to approach that. So looking forward to that,

491
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 1>I have one question for you, sir, Where does phil

492
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Ivy go? Does he go with his Triton boys or

493
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>does he go with the WPT overlords. Where does he

494
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:34.160
<v Speaker 1>go in December?

495
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Buddy? He does both? I think he confidently does both.

496
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're WPT, don't you have to force him to

497
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 1>stay in Vegas? But we know how that goes.

498
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Send me the contract, let me read it. See if

499
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 2>that's even part of the contract. I doubt it is.

500
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Ivy Chase process all summer. I think he'll do it again,

501
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and obviously he has. He's trying boys so he'll be

502
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 2>in Bahamas and then you'll see him play like two events,

503
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker 2>three events.

504
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So if he's going to Bahamas, which I also

505
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:07.319
<v Speaker 1>agree that he's going to go to the Bahamas, you're

506
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.319
<v Speaker 1>getting ivy. You're for sure getting hellmuth. You're getting to

507
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:16.559
<v Speaker 1>grow on you. How is WPT winning December? How what

508
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>are they going to do? Let's wait for the schedule,

509
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:21.400
<v Speaker 1>have another marching on the breaks of the tournament.

510
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:24.480
<v Speaker 2>They lose points for that. Like, I bet we see

511
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the biggest win field, whatever last year's number was, we

512
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 2>top it this year.

513
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, the biggest win field is the WPT Prime.

514
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I'm saying that whatever we had last year,

515
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I think we beat I bet you we see another

516
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 2>massive prime event bigger than last year. And if if

517
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the guys over at the wind Slash WPT make a

518
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:50.960
<v Speaker 2>good enough schedule, you know, with some really good events,

519
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I bet you we see massive fields in those two.

520
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm bullish on the wind being just in people's backyards

521
00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.839
<v Speaker 2>and not having I agree.

522
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're in my backyard, you know. I'm I'm

523
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna try and play stuff at the wind you know,

524
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I I obviously have other reasons why I

525
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:09.000
<v Speaker 1>can't go to the Bahamas. I mean, I'm not taking

526
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:11.519
<v Speaker 1>my whole family there. It's just too expensive, you know,

527
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:13.839
<v Speaker 1>playing these types of buy ins, et cetera. It's just

528
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>difficult for me, right, you know, I'd rather just go

529
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.799
<v Speaker 1>to the win. Yes, I think in my shoes. And

530
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 1>this might be something where if people are on the fence,

531
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe they consider this to some degree.

532
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.119
<v Speaker 1>But like having been to the Bahamas so often with

533
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the PCA over the years, like I don't it's not

534
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a draw just to go to this destination, Like the

535
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.720
<v Speaker 1>destination isn't a draw for me, which which is is fine.

536
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.799
<v Speaker 1>You know. I think a lot of people out there

537
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>will enjoy going to the Bahamas. They get out of

538
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:45.039
<v Speaker 1>bad weather, all that sort of stuff. I totally get it,

539
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, just for me having been there, like the

540
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>destination itself doesn't sell anymore. So I'm just curious. I

541
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.799
<v Speaker 1>guess if there's a lot of other players out there

542
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 1>because the win is now like the premiere poker destination.

543
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Like you go, you play at the Win, the property

544
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely incredible, you know, it's just it's top notch

545
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>playing there. It's it's amazing. It's you know, it's it's

546
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:13.000
<v Speaker 1>in Las Vegas, which I think a lot of people like,

547
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's also like it's at the end of the strip,

548
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>so you're not like jam packed in the middle. You know,

549
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it's at this particular event WPT at the Win is

550
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>in December when the weather isn't you know, one hundred

551
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and fifteen degrees outside, which I think also people like.

552
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>So so that is a big selling point for a

553
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. Of course, money talks at the end

554
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>of the day, so you know, fifty million dollars guaranteed,

555
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I think there's gonna be a lot of people that

556
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>travel down there. I just if I'm if I'm WPT

557
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm the win, I'm very much going within every

558
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 1>man focus, meaning I'm catering to I'm catering my schedule

559
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>to the population of poker players that play four and

560
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:55.319
<v Speaker 1>a dollar to five thousand dollars tournaments. I'm packing my

561
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>schedule with that sort of stuff, probably keeping the five

562
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars price point pretty selective. And then I just

563
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.799
<v Speaker 1>have the ten thousand dollars main the world the World Championship.

564
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, I really push the accessibility, I push the

565
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:14.039
<v Speaker 1>everyman I try and pump out, you know, massive massive

566
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>fields you mentioned, you know, having the largest field at

567
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.079
<v Speaker 1>the win ever, you know, trying to do stuff like that.

568
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, have like a massive six hundred dollars opener,

569
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.119
<v Speaker 1>which they did in the past, but like bumping up

570
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 1>the guarantee for that, you know, bumping up the guarantee

571
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 1>for the one thousand dollars WPT Prime Championship, stuff like that,

572
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and then just probably doing something that like

573
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:35.799
<v Speaker 1>filters people into the ten k. You know, I think

574
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:37.359
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a lot of people that come out

575
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:39.799
<v Speaker 1>for that price point that whether they win money or not,

576
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, sell some action, all this sort of stuff.

577
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.640
<v Speaker 1>They kind of take their shot in the World Championship

578
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>for ten k, and it's it's a bit more palatable,

579
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a bit more accessible to go that route. I

580
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:55.599
<v Speaker 1>would I would almost just entirely scrap high rollers, Like

581
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't do anything above five thousand dollars except for

582
00:30:57.880 --> 00:30:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the WPT World Championship.

583
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:01.880
<v Speaker 2>You still need to do the alpha stuff, but you

584
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 2>do it at the very back of the schedule because

585
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:09.359
<v Speaker 2>you want to you want any centimize people to come

586
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.240
<v Speaker 2>from Mohamas to play the ten k, Like how do

587
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I get author Materrosen to come and Makita Beziakowski come

588
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.039
<v Speaker 2>play the ten k and then we have a twenty

589
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.039
<v Speaker 2>five and one hundred like on the off days. That's

590
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:21.920
<v Speaker 2>how you get them to come.

591
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, why why do you need them to come?

592
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>You don't bet like I think you should offer it anyway,

593
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.079
<v Speaker 2>it's going to fill up. They had good numbers lost

594
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:30.079
<v Speaker 2>here in those ones.

595
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but last year you weren't going up against the

596
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:33.759
<v Speaker 1>WPG paradise.

597
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:36.400
<v Speaker 2>It is ended by then at the end.

598
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.319
<v Speaker 1>It seems like a natural fit to me to partner

599
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:43.160
<v Speaker 1>with the PGT to some extent. I should just say

600
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:47.119
<v Speaker 1>av Poker and Triton Poker and Triton are all in

601
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.279
<v Speaker 1>bed over there. You know, maybe we do some PGT

602
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 1>events at the win, you know, entice our players to

603
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:52.440
<v Speaker 1>get in there, chase some points.

604
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, you have my number, Adam, You're probably not, but.

605
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Just call your your country made over there and let's go.

606
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go get Savage on the horn. Have you just

607
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:03.920
<v Speaker 1>had him on the podcast of the day? I mean,

608
00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:06.279
<v Speaker 1>come on, yeah, I mean that's that's what I would do,

609
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:10.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I'm not a fan of what they've done.

610
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 1>With with Alpha eight, I think they need to scrap

611
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the brand or put it back to what it was.

612
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.440
<v Speaker 2>So I like the name. I just yeah, the name

613
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:21.039
<v Speaker 2>is good.

614
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 1>The branding was good, The idea I think was good.

615
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 1>But like trying they're basically trying to take that brand

616
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:29.039
<v Speaker 1>and then shoehorn it into now like twenty five k's

617
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like just have everything be WPT like a

618
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 1>WPT high roller. Why can't it just be a WPT

619
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>high roller? Like what you know? Why has it got

620
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 1>to be a trifecta, quadruple, quintupled alpha eight, Like I

621
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.039
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's just really confusing to me. I mean

622
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>another option that that I don't think is on the

623
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:54.599
<v Speaker 1>table at this I don't know. Now that I say

624
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that it is August thirteenth, but move to January question mark, Yes,

625
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean right like yes, I mean that obviously has

626
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.359
<v Speaker 1>to probably do with like we know. I mean, at

627
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:11.640
<v Speaker 1>least I know because my wife works in the casino industry.

628
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:13.119
<v Speaker 1>I know how these things work. We've been around the

629
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.960
<v Speaker 1>industry for long enough that convention space and and the

630
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>amount of convention space that they need for an event

631
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>like this at the wind is not easy to come by,

632
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 1>and this stuff gets booked out long in advance, so

633
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>like I'm sure they can't just call up the win

634
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and be like, hey, we want to move to January

635
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.799
<v Speaker 1>and when it's like, ah, funny, we've been booked for

636
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:33.119
<v Speaker 1>three years in January. You know, like like that's just

637
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:34.640
<v Speaker 1>so that's the hard part there.

638
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, the thing is this is the lost year of

639
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>the deal, right, so maybe they actually have a plan

640
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:40.519
<v Speaker 2>to move to January.

641
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it is three years, three years.

642
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they have a plan to move to January and

643
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 2>they already have that space bookvill twenty twenty sick.

644
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that'll be interesting also now that you bring that up,

645
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, it is they I remember they announced a

646
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.319
<v Speaker 1>three year deal that whatever happens this year I think

647
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:00.720
<v Speaker 1>points to like where the relationship is going to go

648
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 1>going forward. Meaning if they scale back and do like,

649
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.880
<v Speaker 1>let's say a twenty five million dollar guarantee, that that

650
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 1>might be like you know, they're kind of just cutting

651
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.360
<v Speaker 1>their losses in in a way, being like, hey, let's

652
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:14.719
<v Speaker 1>put out a guarantee that's big that we can hit

653
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:18.079
<v Speaker 1>not cost any money, and then maybe this relationship doesn't

654
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:20.679
<v Speaker 1>go any further. But if they come out with another banger,

655
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.280
<v Speaker 1>like you know you mentioned do forty again. Then it's

656
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 1>pretty clear to me that this relationship is going forward. Right,

657
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:28.159
<v Speaker 1>So maybe I'm reading a little bit too in the

658
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 1>lines there, but but listen, the WPT World Championship schedule

659
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:35.599
<v Speaker 1>has not come out yet. I've been asking them many times,

660
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of where's the schedule, where's the schedule,

661
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.199
<v Speaker 1>where's the schedule? So we'll see. I'm assuming it's going

662
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to drop. I think it's going to drop this month.

663
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when. And then once that happens, you know,

664
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about it a lot. Maybe we'll even get

665
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Matt Savage back on to discuss it. I'm going to

666
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:56.920
<v Speaker 1>be very interested to kind of put WSP Paradise and

667
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>ws AP World Championship Schedule is basically by side and

668
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.239
<v Speaker 1>be like, okay, like you know, what can we expect here,

669
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Like who kind of won this event that event? You know,

670
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:12.159
<v Speaker 1>what are the what are the overall vibes that we're getting,

671
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Like is WPT going to lean into the every man

672
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>accessibility stuff or are they just going to try and

673
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:20.159
<v Speaker 1>really go head to head with what WSP is doing.

674
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, who knows, right, we don't know yet because

675
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.599
<v Speaker 1>the schedule is not out, so so let's see and

676
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:29.719
<v Speaker 1>let's see how it goes. Moving on, we got to

677
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:35.639
<v Speaker 1>hit on Scott Sever winning WSOP Player of the Year.

678
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Of course many of you listening tuned in to our

679
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 1>daily WSOP shows. Sever won three gold bracelets three not

680
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.199
<v Speaker 1>many people have done that. He now has seven total bracelets.

681
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Not many people have gotten to that amount either. Four

682
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:58.440
<v Speaker 1>four hundred and three POY points for sever Michael Rocco

683
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.679
<v Speaker 1>closed out the w so P strong. He won the

684
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>what ten K six max events in the final days.

685
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 1>He ended up finishing in second place with threey eight

686
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred and three points. Jeremy Osmas, who made seven final tables,

687
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.039
<v Speaker 1>ultimately did not win a bracelet, but had many deep runs.

688
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.599
<v Speaker 1>He had three thousand, six hundred and eighty six points.

689
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Interesting just about the top three quickly is that I

690
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:25.320
<v Speaker 1>think many people probably assume that Ozma's finished second just

691
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.960
<v Speaker 1>because of the way that it was the race that

692
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.880
<v Speaker 1>was happening between him and Stever, everything that was talked

693
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.559
<v Speaker 1>about with Ozmas, how many final tables he made, all

694
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that sort of stuff, But it was actually Michael Rocco

695
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 1>who had a pretty damn good wsop overall, I do

696
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.719
<v Speaker 1>want to hit on kind of some honorable mentions, but

697
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:44.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll get to that in a second, just after we

698
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:48.559
<v Speaker 1>get done talking about some more sever stuff. He'll turn

699
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:54.199
<v Speaker 1>forty in April. So I know we had this conversation before.

700
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Is he going to get in the Hall of Fame?

701
00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Now?

702
00:36:56.840 --> 00:37:01.039
<v Speaker 1>He has three seven total, he has a WPT title.

703
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Obviously high stakes cash is there. You know we talked

704
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:06.599
<v Speaker 1>about all this sort of stuff before where it's like

705
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.119
<v Speaker 1>now sever enters that that conversation, So is he going

706
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:14.559
<v Speaker 1>to get in? Does he get in right away? Like

707
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.159
<v Speaker 1>all the who's He's well, Jeremy Osmas number one?

708
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Who else?

709
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Josh, Josh Harrier, Nick Shulman. Remember remember the conversation we had,

710
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:25.239
<v Speaker 1>we had sever or Shulman?

711
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.440
<v Speaker 2>All Right, you know what if we would have if

712
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:30.159
<v Speaker 2>we would have voted now, who.

713
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Are the finalists this year? Madam? Yeah, so I mean

714
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:37.320
<v Speaker 1>they're they're likely, They're not that they're likely to be

715
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 1>back as finalists, but they'll be top of mind. Osmas

716
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:41.519
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a finalist this year.

717
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Here's my take. Ready, if we voted now, Siva would

718
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:47.480
<v Speaker 2>get in.

719
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:51.119
<v Speaker 1>But recency bias, yes, but.

720
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:54.599
<v Speaker 2>We have WSP Europe. We have WSB Paradise, we have

721
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:58.679
<v Speaker 2>WSP Vegas, we have one hundred and forty five. Actually,

722
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.320
<v Speaker 2>we have one hundred, nearly two hundred more bracelet events

723
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:05.360
<v Speaker 2>between now and when you cost your vote. Shulman could

724
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:08.639
<v Speaker 2>rip off three bracelets. Osmus could rip off three braces,

725
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Aria could rip off three braces. Civa could win another three.

726
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:14.119
<v Speaker 2>So there's a lot that can happen in the next

727
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:18.360
<v Speaker 2>two hundred bracelet events before the current Living Hall of

728
00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Fame members need to vote. So yeah, it's it's it's

729
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>still very open. I think it's Siva if it was today,

730
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker 2>but it could be any number of people, you know,

731
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:32.159
<v Speaker 2>in two hundred bracelets time. I know it's a soft

732
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:36.239
<v Speaker 2>answer to it. I think we have to realize the situation.

733
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, listen, I tend to agree with you. I'm

734
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:41.719
<v Speaker 1>just looking at the list of finalists for this year.

735
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Patrick Antonio has got in and we're going

736
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.360
<v Speaker 1>to hit on that next. But josh Ari on there,

737
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.840
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned him, Barney Bobman was on there, Miami, John Sernudo,

738
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Ted Forrest, Kathy Lieber, Mike mattis Ow, matt' savage, is

739
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Hei Shinberg, Bill Smith. So some, if not all, will

740
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, make it back next next year? You know,

741
00:38:56.960 --> 00:39:00.719
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of how they carry over. But Armie Ostmas

742
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:03.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't on there. Nick Shulman, I believe will be forty,

743
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:06.760
<v Speaker 1>so he'll likely make this list.

744
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.360
<v Speaker 2>He turns for there was a list going out of

745
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:12.920
<v Speaker 2>like who turns forty next year? Well, we should, we should.

746
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I was actually going to create something. I just haven't

747
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:14.840
<v Speaker 2>had a chance.

748
00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:19.840
<v Speaker 1>But so Phil Galfond is currently thirty nine years old.

749
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:24.719
<v Speaker 1>This is according to Wikipedia and January sixteenth, So.

750
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know when missed forty. Like I didn't understand

751
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 2>that part.

752
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, isn't it when they say, hey, we're voting,

753
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:33.159
<v Speaker 1>then you have to be forty?

754
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:33.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying.

755
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is that? But like to your point is

756
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:40.239
<v Speaker 1>that May first? Is that June first? Is that July first?

757
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Is?

758
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:43.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, like what's but Galfon should be in there?

759
00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:45.519
<v Speaker 2>No? Yeah, who do you think is the favorite right now?

760
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 2>I have no he Man, I mean seven Shulman is

761
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot closer than you think.

762
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:53.239
<v Speaker 1>No, I and I think we recently talked about that

763
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:55.079
<v Speaker 1>during one of the episodes when I when I brought

764
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:57.800
<v Speaker 1>it up during the World Series of Poker, because I mean,

765
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.119
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of similarities there, you know, a

766
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:02.599
<v Speaker 1>lot a lot of bracelets. Both have a WPT title,

767
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:05.280
<v Speaker 1>sever does win in the bracelet category. Both have played

768
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 1>high stakes cash, right, I mean, I think I think

769
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:11.880
<v Speaker 1>nowadays sever plays more high stakes cash than Shulman does.

770
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Shulman is like kind of fully in at least from

771
00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:16.159
<v Speaker 1>what I can tell on the tournament grind. But in

772
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:19.039
<v Speaker 1>that regard, like you know, Shulman's got a Triton title,

773
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Shulman's got PGT titles, et cetera. Like Sever is a

774
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:26.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit more void in that area. So how do

775
00:40:26.760 --> 00:40:29.800
<v Speaker 1>people wait that sort of stuff? Then? Like, I don't know,

776
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>because it's voted on by the living Hall of famers, Right,

777
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:38.400
<v Speaker 1>So how much of how much of Shulman being out

778
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 1>there as a commentator and as good of a commentator

779
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I see? Is like how much does that weigh in

780
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.639
<v Speaker 1>their mind? How much does the popularity aspect weigh in

781
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:48.840
<v Speaker 1>their mind? Right? So I don't know.

782
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:53.679
<v Speaker 2>You know, pocularity is the biggest, the most underrated waiting

783
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:57.280
<v Speaker 2>in all this voting, and it shouldn't be, but I

784
00:40:57.320 --> 00:40:58.159
<v Speaker 2>think it actually.

785
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I think I think popularity has trumped at times,

786
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 1>even most recently, Patrick Antoni is getting in like I

787
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:08.000
<v Speaker 1>would have I wouldn't. I do think he's popular, yes,

788
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:11.360
<v Speaker 1>but I would have thought that maybe josh Arie got

789
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>in because he's I think I think he's more out

790
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:17.159
<v Speaker 1>there in the spotlight, et cetera. And going back to

791
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:21.719
<v Speaker 1>when popular, when David Oppenheim got in.

792
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:25.960
<v Speaker 2>There he's super Oppenheim would be super popular, yes, popular,

793
00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:29.000
<v Speaker 2>but like not, he's not in the forefront of everyone's mind.

794
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:31.159
<v Speaker 2>So like when you say everyone, do you mean the

795
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:32.400
<v Speaker 2>voters or do you mean the public?

796
00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think public perception might play into some voters' minds,

797
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:37.440
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm getting.

798
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.119
<v Speaker 2>If you don't think I think it's all like who

799
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:42.400
<v Speaker 2>do I want in my my my boys club?

800
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:45.199
<v Speaker 1>I disagree with you and I have well I won't.

801
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I won't name names, but people have asked us. People

802
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:50.360
<v Speaker 1>have asked us who they should vote for. Yes, yeah,

803
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:53.159
<v Speaker 1>that is public. That is not them thinking of their

804
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:55.840
<v Speaker 1>own stuff like that is them, like you know, like, hey,

805
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:57.800
<v Speaker 1>what are the arguments for this person of that person? Whatever?

806
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Like that is say Matt Savage every time.

807
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:03.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I always say side, but I have also

808
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:06.360
<v Speaker 1>said for a long time. You do say, yeah, I

809
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:10.440
<v Speaker 1>see I I also say, Patrick Antonius, I guess, I

810
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:14.920
<v Speaker 1>guess just a thought that popped in my mind. Does

811
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 1>anything change in regard to the Poker Hall Fame now

812
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.360
<v Speaker 1>that GG Poker owns the b possibly?

813
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean do they.

814
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Have more people get in there?

815
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Like?

816
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:25.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, how how does like do they even address it?

817
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Does it just carry definitely.

818
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Needs like a like a commissioner or something, and it

819
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:34.079
<v Speaker 2>needs it does need a shake up. Maybe that's adding

820
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.519
<v Speaker 2>more people. Maybe that's changing the requirements, like it's forty

821
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:42.639
<v Speaker 2>two young. I would say maybe yes, But I guess

822
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 2>we'll leave it up to them. You know, if I

823
00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.320
<v Speaker 2>was a betting man, I'd probably say nothing would change.

824
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I've always thought, and I think I think you and

825
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I might have talked about this. If not, I think

826
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:55.079
<v Speaker 1>you'll agree. But at the live version of the WSP

827
00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:59.239
<v Speaker 1>in the summer, I've always thought there should be a room,

828
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:03.119
<v Speaker 1>a section, a hallway, whatever it is that's basically the

829
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.239
<v Speaker 1>basically a museum largely about like the Poker Hall of

830
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Fame have a bunch of busts. There have nice displays

831
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:14.559
<v Speaker 1>with photos and then paragraphs underneath where people can like

832
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.679
<v Speaker 1>walk through like you walk through in a museum and

833
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:19.079
<v Speaker 1>you say, okay, hey, this is so and so this

834
00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:20.760
<v Speaker 1>is the history here. You know, I'm gonna move on,

835
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:22.880
<v Speaker 1>like almost like a whole little room that people could

836
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:24.719
<v Speaker 1>enter and just that was it. There was a path

837
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to walk you know, there was various exhibits. I know

838
00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that that's me probably in my whole pipe dream mentality,

839
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:34.079
<v Speaker 1>but like I think that there is so much rich,

840
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:37.639
<v Speaker 1>rich history as it pertains to poker and then specifically

841
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the WSP that you could have that sort of thing

842
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>as a big exhibit at the World Series of Poker.

843
00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:46.920
<v Speaker 2>And we have it. We have it at the Poker room,

844
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:49.960
<v Speaker 2>pictures on the wall. What's funny you say? That is

845
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:52.199
<v Speaker 2>actually I discussed with that, you know.

846
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:53.800
<v Speaker 1>But that would be wouldn't that be a cool exhibit?

847
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, I as you know, I've been collecting things

848
00:43:57.840 --> 00:43:59.840
<v Speaker 2>in case something like this happens. I have it in

849
00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a box at the office, he stored away, ready to

850
00:44:03.239 --> 00:44:07.039
<v Speaker 2>pull out if needed. But my I had a grand envision,

851
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:10.400
<v Speaker 2>a grand plan once to actually convert some of our set,

852
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:13.320
<v Speaker 2>like you know, the say the outside of that table

853
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:17.079
<v Speaker 2>be like the back of the stand where people you know,

854
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:20.000
<v Speaker 2>where there's nothing. Turn that into like some kind of

855
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.039
<v Speaker 2>hall of fame display. You remember back at the Rio

856
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:26.199
<v Speaker 2>in the Brazilian room where there was when we had

857
00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the bracelets in the little plexiglass boxes and they were Yeah,

858
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:35.199
<v Speaker 2>so take that concept, but for hall of fame stuff.

859
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:38.719
<v Speaker 2>So I could put hypothetically, let's talk about some of

860
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:41.039
<v Speaker 2>the cool stuff I have. You know, you know Doyle

861
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Ronson's last seat ticket that he ever played. You could

862
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:45.400
<v Speaker 2>put that in a box, little story about it. You

863
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:47.800
<v Speaker 2>could take negran Who's signed button from his fifty k

864
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:50.920
<v Speaker 2>in put it there. You could talk to You could

865
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:52.920
<v Speaker 2>talk to Matt Waxman and ask him would you want

866
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:56.880
<v Speaker 2>to donate your bracelet for for the six weeks, so

867
00:44:56.920 --> 00:44:58.880
<v Speaker 2>you get people to donate stuff just for the exhibit.

868
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.440
<v Speaker 1>While also that would be just quickly that would be

869
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:06.360
<v Speaker 1>like one cool exhibit portion is like the bracelet over

870
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:09.199
<v Speaker 1>the years, Yeah, like the first one, the second one.

871
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Like people can like literally walk down and be like,

872
00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:12.639
<v Speaker 1>oh this is when it changed to this is when

873
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:13.679
<v Speaker 1>it like that would be still.

874
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Do stuff like that, and like I would build it

875
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.519
<v Speaker 2>into the set, but you know, I mean spending a

876
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:19.199
<v Speaker 2>lot of this money on the set, do we we

877
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:20.679
<v Speaker 2>don't own the Hall of Fame, so we're kind of

878
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:23.199
<v Speaker 2>stealing the idea, you know, are going to rob people

879
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:26.280
<v Speaker 2>the wrong way. So we never did it this year,

880
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:29.760
<v Speaker 2>but like it was always, it was discussed internally very

881
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:31.639
<v Speaker 2>so for a very limited amount of time.

882
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:33.599
<v Speaker 1>A little bit of a side story, but this is

883
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:36.599
<v Speaker 1>kind of about this in a way. So when the

884
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.599
<v Speaker 1>when the World Poker Tour first was going to have

885
00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the final tables at the big Esports Arena at Luxor,

886
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I was working with the World Poker Tour at the time,

887
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.199
<v Speaker 1>and one of my big pitches was that have you

888
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.679
<v Speaker 1>have you been in that arena the hyper x Yeah?

889
00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah.

890
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:58.639
<v Speaker 1>So, like you walk in, there's like the first little

891
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:01.280
<v Speaker 1>area where there's some gamings off, there's like some you know,

892
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:03.840
<v Speaker 1>there's basically like a check in desk, et cetera. And

893
00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>then you go kind of down like a little hallway.

894
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.639
<v Speaker 1>There's double doors that opens up to like this what

895
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:11.440
<v Speaker 1>is it like a little it's like a little it's

896
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:13.519
<v Speaker 1>like a little rotunda area, you know, with like an

897
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.239
<v Speaker 1>elevated ceiling. There's actually a balcony up top where people

898
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:17.960
<v Speaker 1>people that are up top on the second floor can

899
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.079
<v Speaker 1>look down and then there's like another hallway and then

900
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:24.119
<v Speaker 1>like all this basically leads into like the big arena. Yeah,

901
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.639
<v Speaker 1>my vision that I pitched was to create like once

902
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:29.679
<v Speaker 1>you hit, like once you get past the checking desk

903
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and hit these like double doors basically create the history

904
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of the World Poker Tour as you walk from the

905
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.880
<v Speaker 1>check in desk all the way into the arena and

906
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:42.360
<v Speaker 1>then like you know and like that, so like as

907
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you're entering, whether you're a player or a fan, like

908
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:48.519
<v Speaker 1>you just start really getting that vibe, that energy, like

909
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:51.760
<v Speaker 1>you feel the history building, and then it culminates with

910
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.239
<v Speaker 1>you going into the arena and either playing or watching

911
00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:56.880
<v Speaker 1>that final table. Same sort of thing like I could

912
00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:00.239
<v Speaker 1>see for the WSP, Like you walk into like where

913
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the final table stage area is, and like it's you know,

914
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's a walkway or a path where you

915
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.719
<v Speaker 1>can go where you can see the the different exhibits.

916
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:10.519
<v Speaker 1>You can you can pause and you can you know

917
00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:13.000
<v Speaker 1>be like oh, hey, like this is this is Doyle

918
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Brunson's like first win, this is the winnerfold, like this

919
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:17.119
<v Speaker 1>is that this is like all that sort of stuff

920
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I think would be pretty dope. So yeah, so now

921
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that now that gg Poker owns it up. See Michael Kim,

922
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:26.039
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening, he's want you want this idea, you

923
00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:27.880
<v Speaker 1>can come to Tim and I and we will happily

924
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:32.360
<v Speaker 1>put it together for you. All right. So anyway back

925
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to that, because we are off tangent Scott seever, so

926
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:36.960
<v Speaker 1>he'll turn forty in April. We talked about that, We

927
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:38.800
<v Speaker 1>talked about his time to get into the Hall of Fame.

928
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:40.599
<v Speaker 1>I think he will eventually get into the Hall of Fame.

929
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know if it'll be next year first year,

930
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:48.239
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, but seven WSP bracelets for him now, he

931
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:51.360
<v Speaker 1>won three this year, one WPT title. He's got almost

932
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven million dollars in live tournament earnings, high stakes cash.

933
00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:57.360
<v Speaker 1>He certainly has stood the test of time. I think

934
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:00.280
<v Speaker 1>he's respected by his peers for sure. So I've another

935
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:03.440
<v Speaker 1>question about Scott sever And I heard someone make a

936
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:06.360
<v Speaker 1>comment to me recently. I forget who it was exactly,

937
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:11.679
<v Speaker 1>but the comment was about twenty five K fantasy and

938
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:18.119
<v Speaker 1>how much sever will go for next year. And my thought,

939
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:23.559
<v Speaker 1>initially without having any information right now, is so let

940
00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:25.599
<v Speaker 1>me see he went for thirty seven dollars this year,

941
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:28.679
<v Speaker 1>which based on his performance, three hundred and thirty four

942
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:33.840
<v Speaker 1>points the third highest point getter is a criminal underspend.

943
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:39.440
<v Speaker 1>But if he goes for what eighty ninety dollars next year,

944
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:42.519
<v Speaker 1>do we know Scott Severs going to play a full

945
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:50.039
<v Speaker 1>schedule this year? We knew, Yes, we knew ish so quickly.

946
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Just one reason why, like we weren't in on Scott's

947
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.719
<v Speaker 1>sever even though he had put out there that he's

948
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:56.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be gunning for, is that we drafted him

949
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago. He actually won the was

950
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it the twenty five hundred dollars tournament early in the summer,

951
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:04.159
<v Speaker 1>and he told us he was going full on for

952
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:06.559
<v Speaker 1>the whole series, and he, you know, he basically won

953
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:08.239
<v Speaker 1>that tournament early and then kind of went back to

954
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:10.639
<v Speaker 1>cash games. So we were just like, you know, how

955
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:12.880
<v Speaker 1>much how much is he really going to go? Right,

956
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:14.559
<v Speaker 1>even if he says it's he really going to go

957
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:18.400
<v Speaker 1>full on, because it's a freaking grind, we all know that, right. Obviously,

958
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:20.119
<v Speaker 1>he went the whole thing, He went to the wall,

959
00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:22.079
<v Speaker 1>he went all out, and he won three bracelets and

960
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.360
<v Speaker 1>he won fasby Player of the Year. So are we

961
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>going to get WSP Player of the Year contending Scott

962
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:31.239
<v Speaker 1>sever next year, bracelet bets all that sort of stuff.

963
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Scott sever next year or are we not? If we're not,

964
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.039
<v Speaker 1>he should not go for ninety dollars, right, and then

965
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:41.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody will vastly overpay if he's just if he was like,

966
00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:43.320
<v Speaker 1>this is the year, I'm all in, I'm gonna do

967
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:45.920
<v Speaker 1>this thing. I'm going to dedicate myself to these tournaments.

968
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:48.199
<v Speaker 1>I did it, I achieved it. I got the Player

969
00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:51.199
<v Speaker 1>of the Year banner. You know, great, Now I'm going

970
00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:53.039
<v Speaker 1>to go back to playing high stakes cash when the

971
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:56.079
<v Speaker 1>cash games are crazy during the summer, and yeah, I'll

972
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:58.320
<v Speaker 1>pop in here and there. And not that Sever shouldn't

973
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:00.199
<v Speaker 1>be drafted, because he should, you know, It's just it's

974
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.199
<v Speaker 1>a volume game at that point. So I just going

975
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:08.159
<v Speaker 1>into next year, I would probably wonder if he's going

976
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:11.039
<v Speaker 1>to be overvalued or undervalued just based on what we

977
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:13.360
<v Speaker 1>can expect from him. So would you expect Sever to

978
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:16.079
<v Speaker 1>go like all out like he did this year again

979
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:18.239
<v Speaker 1>next year or maybe in the next like three years.

980
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's say, I mean he made a commitment to do

981
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:23.280
<v Speaker 2>this this year, he had some bets. We have to

982
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:26.199
<v Speaker 2>just know that he's doing this next year or not.

983
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.880
<v Speaker 2>He may be the him and Jason Mercier may be

984
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the peak. The number one drop picks in unreliability when

985
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:38.320
<v Speaker 2>it comes to WSP because they will play cash and

986
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:42.440
<v Speaker 2>NonStop like they don't care that much unless they actually care,

987
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:46.559
<v Speaker 2>and that means like bets or side bets or whatever

988
00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:49.760
<v Speaker 2>they have. So yeah, if I was drafting Siva, I

989
00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:54.159
<v Speaker 2>would people, hey, hey, buddy, what's the plan this year?

990
00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Like I need to know, because yeah, he could be

991
00:50:56.400 --> 00:51:00.119
<v Speaker 2>worth one hundred and twelve dollars or we had twelve dollars.

992
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Had that plan before and he even like he told

993
00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:04.039
<v Speaker 1>us he was all in.

994
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:05.639
<v Speaker 2>But I need to know the bets. I need to

995
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:08.039
<v Speaker 2>know how much he has in play. I don't care

996
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:11.519
<v Speaker 2>like I need to know your dollar, your net worth,

997
00:51:11.559 --> 00:51:15.480
<v Speaker 2>spend percentage allocated to bracelet bets with Texas mic.

998
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:20.519
<v 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
<v Speaker 1>get honest answers or the full answers you know that

1000
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you need, so then it makes things a bit tricky.

1001
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:30.119
<v Speaker 1>But I'm gonna say that right now, he's not gonna

1002
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:32.679
<v Speaker 1>be the same Scott sever that we saw this year

1003
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:35.239
<v Speaker 1>in terms of volume. Of course, when he shows up

1004
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Scott Severs as one of the best players in any

1005
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:39.559
<v Speaker 1>field that he plays. You know, don't get me wrong there,

1006
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:42.119
<v Speaker 1>But from a volume perspective, I'm gonna say that this

1007
00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:44.280
<v Speaker 1>was more of a one and done type of thing. Also, like,

1008
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:45.920
<v Speaker 1>are people going to be lining up to bet Scott

1009
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:48.000
<v Speaker 1>sever after he just achieved what he achieved?

1010
00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:49.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean?

1011
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:51.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like they got burned and they're out.

1012
00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I can't repeat it, though, Yeah, but you can't repeat that.

1013
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:56.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I wouldn't. I wouldn't bet against

1014
00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Scott's sever in repeating it. So he might, you know,

1015
00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:02.159
<v Speaker 1>he might be surprise next year in fantasy where like

1016
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:04.880
<v Speaker 1>somebody gets him for one hundred dollars and then you

1017
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:07.159
<v Speaker 1>know he ends up playing only like twenty events and

1018
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.119
<v Speaker 1>everyone like that that team is pissed, right, you know.

1019
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:13.679
<v Speaker 1>So so yeah, that's just a tricky spot there. Anyway,

1020
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:18.119
<v Speaker 1>moving on to Patrick Antonius, he was inducted into the

1021
00:52:18.159 --> 00:52:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Poker Hall of Fame, in my opinion, in extremely deserving inductee.

1022
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Happy to see Patrick Antonius, one of the absolute legends,

1023
00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:28.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the absolute goats in poker, getting into the

1024
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame. I think twenty twenty was the first

1025
00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:35.400
<v Speaker 1>year that he was eligible, and as far as I'm concerning,

1026
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:37.320
<v Speaker 1>he should have been nominated or in a finalist every

1027
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:39.320
<v Speaker 1>single year. I don't know if he was exactly, but

1028
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:44.039
<v Speaker 1>should have been. And yeah, I've always thought Patrick Antonia

1029
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:46.440
<v Speaker 1>should get it, get in. So it's good to see

1030
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:49.760
<v Speaker 1>him get in. I think he was very happy, very

1031
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:52.719
<v Speaker 1>thrilled about being able to get in. You know, it's

1032
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:56.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those things where in a way it's it's

1033
00:52:56.440 --> 00:52:58.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's great to see that your peers, you know,

1034
00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:00.679
<v Speaker 1>these fellow Hall of Famers were affect you in that

1035
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:05.320
<v Speaker 1>light to put you into this very elite club of people. Also,

1036
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:07.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, on the Hall of Fame front, you know,

1037
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:09.840
<v Speaker 1>there's not many Europeans in there, so getting another European

1038
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:12.519
<v Speaker 1>and then Patrick Antonia's being a finished getting him in

1039
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:16.920
<v Speaker 1>there as well. He doesn't have the tournament resume that

1040
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:19.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of others have, you know, he doesn't have

1041
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:23.119
<v Speaker 1>all the bracelets, the WPT titles, all this sort of stuff, right,

1042
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:24.679
<v Speaker 1>He's you know, he's been playing a lot of the

1043
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Triton stuff of course, but Antonia's mainly plays cash games,

1044
00:53:28.840 --> 00:53:32.239
<v Speaker 1>and in that regard, he's as far as I can

1045
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:36.239
<v Speaker 1>tell still an absolute beast plays the highest stakes around,

1046
00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, all summer long he's playing four thousand, eight thousand,

1047
00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:42.280
<v Speaker 1>three thousand and six thousand and five, ten whatever the

1048
00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:44.719
<v Speaker 1>heck it may be. And then just recently he was

1049
00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:47.840
<v Speaker 1>at that Triton Cash game festival playing you know, one thousand,

1050
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:50.360
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one, two five. I don't know what

1051
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:52.880
<v Speaker 1>it was, pulling these savage bluffs with ten high, like

1052
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:57.920
<v Speaker 1>just absolute banana's goat shit from Patrick Antonio. So it's

1053
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:00.639
<v Speaker 1>good to see him in the Hall of Fame.

1054
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:04.159
<v Speaker 2>What say you? Yeah, I just checked the Finland all

1055
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:06.639
<v Speaker 2>time money list. He's on top. I wouldn't have actually

1056
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:10.679
<v Speaker 2>expect to be. He's crushing it well, I mean on

1057
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:13.360
<v Speaker 2>top by so much, just twenty three million. The next

1058
00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:15.599
<v Speaker 2>up you high helping nine million. I didn't think it

1059
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:18.320
<v Speaker 2>would be such a big I think on the.

1060
00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Big scores in the recent years, with all.

1061
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:22.159
<v Speaker 2>The trades, yeah over the Trent and stuff. Yeah. I

1062
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:23.840
<v Speaker 2>think we said during the series that he was going

1063
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:26.960
<v Speaker 2>to get in. I was basing that all on popularity

1064
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:31.159
<v Speaker 2>and the cash game side of things. Very worthy to

1065
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:32.800
<v Speaker 2>get in. Good just you know, you made a really

1066
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:35.880
<v Speaker 2>good point. Good to see European get in, trying get

1067
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:39.559
<v Speaker 2>rid of these the heaviness of American players in the

1068
00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame.

1069
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But well, Americans are just the best poker players. But yeah,

1070
00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what you're I don't know what you're

1071
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:47.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Disagree absolutely, okay.

1072
00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:49.719
<v Speaker 2>But no, I mean I got no problems with it.

1073
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I would have still liked to see some others get in.

1074
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:56.679
<v Speaker 2>We should have more people getting in, but that's up

1075
00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:58.079
<v Speaker 2>for another day, all right.

1076
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:02.519
<v Speaker 1>So congratulations to Patrick Antonius for getting in there. Poker

1077
00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer. Now, I love to see it. I

1078
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:07.920
<v Speaker 1>wish he would play more tournaments like WSP stuff, you know,

1079
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:10.239
<v Speaker 1>because I think he would. He could put up some

1080
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:13.480
<v Speaker 1>numbers there. But of course for him, it's all about

1081
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:15.360
<v Speaker 1>crushing the cash games and he certainly.

1082
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll see him next week, maybe.

1083
00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I would guess he might.

1084
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

1085
00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Would he go down to Bahamas Paradise.

1086
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Possibly if there's games on boats they remember.

1087
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Yes, trust me, I do remember. All right, you mentioned

1088
00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:35.559
<v Speaker 1>might see him next week. That would be for Super

1089
00:55:35.639 --> 00:55:39.199
<v Speaker 1>High Roller Series, slash Bowl Slash Bowl Series.

1090
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:39.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

1091
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know what it's it's supposed to be

1092
00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:47.199
<v Speaker 1>called I don't know the official name, but yeah, so

1093
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Super high Roller series is kicking off in a few

1094
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:54.039
<v Speaker 1>days that is capped off by the Super high Roller Bowl.

1095
00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:59.599
<v Speaker 1>I expect numbers to be pretty big overall. I think

1096
00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you an article the other day that said sixty players

1097
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:03.559
<v Speaker 1>are more than sixty players.

1098
00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Sixty three confirmed players for the series though, right, not

1099
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:09.400
<v Speaker 2>for the series, sorry, not for the ball for the

1100
00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:13.760
<v Speaker 2>series that includes some PLO only players. Obviously, people may

1101
00:56:14.800 --> 00:56:18.559
<v Speaker 2>have dropped out, people may have added, you know, had

1102
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:20.119
<v Speaker 2>some players reach out to me the same. Yeah, I

1103
00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:22.480
<v Speaker 2>think I might go now, so I don't know. I

1104
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:25.199
<v Speaker 2>think sixty two was sixty three was much better than

1105
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought heading into this. The key here is that

1106
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.679
<v Speaker 2>all the events are freeze outs at this stage, so

1107
00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:32.840
<v Speaker 2>that you know, we're not going to.

1108
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Have a stage putting that in there for sure because

1109
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:36.079
<v Speaker 1>it might change.

1110
00:56:36.119 --> 00:56:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Is that why? Well, we have two mystery bounties that

1111
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:39.800
<v Speaker 2>are freeze outs, and that doesn't make any sense to me,

1112
00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like they may change other day. But yeah,

1113
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:45.719
<v Speaker 2>they're all freeze out events, so that does help. I

1114
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:49.039
<v Speaker 2>guess the quote unquote whales feel a bit more comfortable

1115
00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:52.639
<v Speaker 2>playing these big of my own events and does it.

1116
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:55.039
<v Speaker 2>I think so. On that list, I saw a lot

1117
00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:56.519
<v Speaker 2>of names. I had no idea who they were.

1118
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but did you like, I like, did you look

1119
00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:04.599
<v Speaker 1>at those names? Compare them to a trading list, because

1120
00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:06.239
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of people that play Tritons that I

1121
00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:07.840
<v Speaker 1>have no idea who they are, and they're in there

1122
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:10.039
<v Speaker 1>blasting and they can put as many bolts as they

1123
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:10.800
<v Speaker 1>want those things.

1124
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Look, I mean, I'm just make it one re entry

1125
00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:16.000
<v Speaker 2>if anything. But this is what they want to do,

1126
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:19.480
<v Speaker 2>so we'll we'll support it, and we'll see how it goes,

1127
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:22.039
<v Speaker 2>see what the players think, and you know, who knows,

1128
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.280
<v Speaker 2>see what the numbers are. Maybe we get some people

1129
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.239
<v Speaker 2>trickling in closer to the three hundred k buying and

1130
00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:34.280
<v Speaker 2>firing that and they also the hundred k before it.

1131
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Was Tony G on your list.

1132
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:36.519
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm at liberty to say who's on the

1133
00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:38.719
<v Speaker 2>list unless they gave me the okay to say that they're.

1134
00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:43.039
<v Speaker 1>On only because on the Trading Cash Game Festival, Cypress

1135
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:45.519
<v Speaker 1>was brought up with Cypress is where this series and

1136
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Super highrollerbar are being held, and Tony G said that

1137
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.039
<v Speaker 1>I think he said that he would come with Leon.

1138
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:56.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming that's Leon Supernecks. Oh yeah, they were talking

1139
00:57:56.519 --> 00:57:56.880
<v Speaker 1>about it.

1140
00:57:57.559 --> 00:57:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh maybe we get them in so.

1141
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:01.559
<v Speaker 1>So, you know, could could be some people like that.

1142
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:04.039
<v Speaker 1>I think at the time Ivy was in the game.

1143
00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Robert, I heard he's coming, but that he was

1144
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:09.559
<v Speaker 2>not in the original list, but I did hear he's attending,

1145
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:10.480
<v Speaker 2>so that's kind of exciting.

1146
00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:15.159
<v Speaker 1>I would think Ivy would be there. I would think

1147
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Robber Young will probably be there.

1148
00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Where was the cash game Montenegro sh fly Away right, Yeah.

1149
00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I would guess we'll see a fair amount of the

1150
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:28.320
<v Speaker 1>of the Triton guys. You know, I'm not sure how

1151
00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:31.559
<v Speaker 1>many of them will end up coming, but but we'll see.

1152
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:34.519
<v Speaker 1>I I do think that it was it was probably

1153
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the right move. I'm not probably. I think it was

1154
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:39.599
<v Speaker 1>the right move to move super High Rollable out of

1155
00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the States. You know, maybe we lose it a couple

1156
00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:45.599
<v Speaker 1>of players that might have played here in the US,

1157
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:50.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's just hard to run an event that size

1158
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.199
<v Speaker 1>in the in the US given the current landscape. So

1159
00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:56.559
<v Speaker 1>I think these type of events, you know, it's just

1160
00:58:57.039 --> 00:59:01.079
<v Speaker 1>better served elsewhere in the world. And this Cypress destination

1161
00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:05.480
<v Speaker 1>nor Cypress at was it? Merrit Diamond Royal, I believe

1162
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:09.119
<v Speaker 1>is the property. So Merritt has several properties, and I

1163
00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:12.360
<v Speaker 1>think this is the biggest and best, most luxurious one.

1164
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Got it. I'm so confused, but I'm gonna figure it

1165
00:59:14.599 --> 00:59:15.239
<v Speaker 2>out once I got that.

1166
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I went to one years ago with Mickey Doff. Shout

1167
00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:22.119
<v Speaker 1>out Mickey Doft when I think it was a WPT event,

1168
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:24.039
<v Speaker 1>but like a full tilt event as well, like the

1169
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:29.239
<v Speaker 1>WPT full tilt something, and it was at I want

1170
00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to say merrit Crystal Cove, which is one of their

1171
00:59:34.880 --> 00:59:37.880
<v Speaker 1>like lower scale properties, but still extremely nice like that,

1172
00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:40.440
<v Speaker 1>if that makes sense. Not to downplay how awesome that

1173
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:42.320
<v Speaker 1>property was, because it was great. It was right on

1174
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:45.519
<v Speaker 1>the water. You walk right out, you know you could,

1175
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:48.360
<v Speaker 1>You're in the sand, you're swimming in the Mediterranean. Food

1176
00:59:48.440 --> 00:59:51.760
<v Speaker 1>was great, people were awesome, weather was awesome. So so yeah,

1177
00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:53.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun there. So I'm a little bit

1178
00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:54.920
<v Speaker 1>jealous that you're you're getting to go to this one.

1179
00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:58.079
<v Speaker 2>It's tough. If it's tough, man, I'm flying in a

1180
00:59:58.159 --> 00:59:59.760
<v Speaker 2>die early. I got to die off. I'might have to

1181
00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:02.760
<v Speaker 2>take a boat out on the Mediterranean. Who work twelve days?

1182
01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go to Greece for three days, tourists

1183
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:06.599
<v Speaker 2>fly back.

1184
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>What's on the schedule?

1185
01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:13.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're kicking it off with some hold them events.

1186
01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:15.199
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have as a little bit of a

1187
01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>weird schedule. But there's three to twenty five ks eight max,

1188
01:00:18.119 --> 01:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>then a seven max and a six max. Okay, we're

1190
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:24.920

1191
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>day events played down to a final table streaming the

1192
01:00:27.440 --> 01:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>next day on Poker Go. Then we have a mystery bountie.

1193
01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>By the way, shout out to about those streaming. I

1194
01:00:35.280 --> 01:00:37.679
<v Speaker 1>think it's Jeff and Brent on the commentary who we're

1195
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be waking up at the ass crack of dawn,

1196
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe even when it's still dark out because of the

1197
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>time difference, so.

1198
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:45.719
<v Speaker 2>That no, it's not that early.

1199
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Good luck, guys.

1200
01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:47.800
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking them?

1201
01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>How early is it check in? How what's the time difference?

1202
01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Eight nine hours, eight am, eight am specific time.

1203
01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:56.639
<v Speaker 1>You think Jeff Platt wakes up at eight am, Brent

1204
01:00:56.719 --> 01:00:58.519
<v Speaker 1>for sure, because he's got kids. I get it.

1205
01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Jeff does chef's up early. By the way, these are

1206
01:01:01.039 --> 01:01:07.159
<v Speaker 2>actually the lay is like six hours anyway, after that,

1207
01:01:07.199 --> 01:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>we have the three hundred k Super High Rollerball that's

1208
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:13.199
<v Speaker 2>three days of poker streaming every day on poker Go.

1209
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:16.679
<v Speaker 2>And then to conclude the series, it's not being streamed,

1210
01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>but we have a twenty five KPLO, a fifty k

1211
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:23.159
<v Speaker 2>PLO and then the twenty five k PLO Mystery Bounty.

1212
01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:29.039
<v Speaker 2>So lots of fun events. Ten events schedule, big, big, big,

1213
01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>big prize money going to be awarded over in North Cyprus.

1214
01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I think it's it's great, you know,

1215
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:39.719
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I think moving this event over to

1216
01:01:40.199 --> 01:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a different location outside of the US is the correct move.

1217
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>So gonna be big. Are there a lot of US

1218
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>PGT regulars heading over there to play?

1219
01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Like?

1220
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Would you say?

1221
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:52.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you the two biggest names. Are you ready

1222
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>for this? Jeremy Osmas I saw he was selling action

1223
01:01:56.840 --> 01:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>on poker Stage. Let me check you right, they're heading

1224
01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:03.119
<v Speaker 2>there real quick. On that, I know we're probably gonna

1225
01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:07.119
<v Speaker 2>so well. Yeah, they're the two big American PGT players

1226
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:10.239
<v Speaker 2>that are heading over that currently rank fifth and sixth

1227
01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:14.039
<v Speaker 2>on the PGT leaderboard. Another name confirmed outside the top ten,

1228
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:20.480
<v Speaker 2>thirteenth place, Santosh Suvanna is heading over. But yeah, Aram

1229
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Osmas they're coming for I think they just one or

1230
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:27.760
<v Speaker 2>two results, they'll be on top of the leaderboard.

1231
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so just quickly. Both Aramzobian and Jeremy Osmas have

1232
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:36.159
<v Speaker 1>action listed for this series on poker steak dot com,

1233
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>so you can get in there. Jeremy does have the

1234
01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Super High roller Bowl itself three hundred and six thousand

1235
01:02:41.239 --> 01:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>dollars buying in total. He's got twenty five percent listed.

1236
01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:47.679
<v Speaker 1>He's sold just over half of that so far. So

1237
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>if you get in there before that event kicks off,

1238
01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you can get action of Jeremy Osmas. And based on

1239
01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:56.559
<v Speaker 1>the summer that he just had, why would you not have.

1240
01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:59.079
<v Speaker 2>He's definitely he's definitely due to finish third.

1241
01:02:59.159 --> 01:03:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you know he's also due to kind of

1242
01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>win one of these things. Yeah, Jeremy has the Super

1243
01:03:04.360 --> 01:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>High Rollable, the three hundred K. He also has a

1244
01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>fifty K on there. He also has one hundred and

1245
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>two K on there as well, and then aram Zobian

1246
01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>has a bunch of different events on there, a couple

1247
01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty five K bullets, fifty K bullet, and the hundred

1248
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>K is on there as well. So if you guys

1249
01:03:18.039 --> 01:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>want to get action on those guys, then I would

1250
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>head on over to poker steak dot com. There's also

1251
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>some Poker Masters action that's starting to be listed. That's

1252
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:32.039
<v Speaker 1>that's to come in September, so not too much on that.

1253
01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>But again, if you want to action on some of

1254
01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:35.679
<v Speaker 1>these elite players, you can have on over to poker

1255
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>steak dot com. So the leaderboard for the PGT, you

1256
01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that if these guys have a big result, they

1257
01:03:42.920 --> 01:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>could move to the top of the leaderboard. The leaderboard

1258
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:48.159
<v Speaker 1>currently is Michael Rocco up on top eighteen hundred and

1259
01:03:48.199 --> 01:03:52.079
<v Speaker 1>thirty five points, follow followed by excuse me, Jonathan Tomayo,

1260
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:55.719
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty four WSP Main Event champion. He's got

1261
01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:59.519
<v Speaker 1>seventeen hundred and thirty points. Jesse Lonis is third seventeen

1262
01:03:59.639 --> 01:04:04.079
<v Speaker 1>hundred thirteen points, Daniel Negraanu sixteen hundred and sixty points,

1263
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Osmas is in fifth fourteen ninety nine. Then it's

1264
01:04:07.320 --> 01:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a Ramzobian in sixth, Dylan Wiseman in seventh, David Coleman eighth,

1265
01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Griff who finished second to Tomio, He's in ninth,

1266
01:04:15.079 --> 01:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and then Kristen Foxen is in tenth place.

1267
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:18.400
<v Speaker 2>So.

1268
01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we could see a bunch of these names in

1269
01:04:23.119 --> 01:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the top ten heading over there. We're definitely gonna see Ozmas.

1270
01:04:26.440 --> 01:04:29.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure on Jesse Lonis. I know he's in Florida.

1271
01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe these guys get some pomo and yeah, get

1272
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>out of the horse.

1273
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I would guess we see Dylan Wiseman. Do we see

1274
01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Wiseman?

1275
01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:39.719
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think we will.

1276
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:42.079
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna see Aram for sure. David Coleman, I would

1277
01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>guess is going he No, he.

1278
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Was out and then he was in, and then he

1279
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:47.599
<v Speaker 2>was out and then he was back in. So I

1280
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know what he's done.

1281
01:04:48.519 --> 01:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, he also usually puts action up on Poker Steak,

1282
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>so I'm assuming if.

1283
01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:55.840
<v Speaker 2>He's also skipping pokemases, I believe. I mean, why he's

1284
01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>gone to Australia to play WBT fucking three K main

1285
01:04:59.239 --> 01:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>event in Australia.

1286
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Have fun with that.

1287
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy the kangaroos, buddy.

1288
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Will we see the Foxes? Do they travel the Europe?

1289
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I think Have they played Triton events and stuff?

1290
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Maybe, I don't know. I feel like we could

1291
01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:16.280
<v Speaker 2>see Victor blom well, yeah, like like he was not

1292
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:17.280
<v Speaker 2>on the list. That's what I'm saying.

1293
01:05:17.320 --> 01:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I like, can we see Leana nine hundred? But he hasn't.

1294
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:22.239
<v Speaker 1>He played some Triton stuff.

1295
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but man, the the big fifty five on Stars

1296
01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>is under way that day, so he well it's not

1297
01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:33.639
<v Speaker 2>w coop yet, So that's what I'm saying, Like, maybe

1298
01:05:33.679 --> 01:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>he's just like I need to lock down the WOP.

1299
01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, we could get Victor Blom, like you said. And

1300
01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:42.039
<v Speaker 1>if we get Victor Blom, I'm guessing we get Michael

1301
01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Rocco because those two were like going to the hip

1302
01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:49.039
<v Speaker 1>during the diacopy hanging out together. You mentioned roommates. Yeah,

1303
01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned Santos, Brian Rass. Do we get him, He's

1304
01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a could Brian Kim. I think we'll get Brian Kim,

1305
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>Nick Seal Shulman.

1306
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I don't know.

1307
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about Shulman. He's

1308
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:07.599
<v Speaker 1>he's a wild card as far as i'm.

1309
01:06:07.559 --> 01:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Big Hooney was in and then I think he's out now.

1310
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>But too much, too much club and for Big Hunie, he's.

1316
01:06:28.559 --> 01:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw quotes from Ben Heath, phil Ivy. Our guess is, yes,

1317
01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>we should get the Finns Elis and Yoni and whoever

1318

01:07:01.239 --> 01:07:03.199
<v Speaker 2>see his name on the list. I would.

1326
01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we're gonna get Sergio Aido. No,

1327
01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>he's oh, he's in Okay, Yeah, he's just like a quote.

1328
01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:13.719
<v Speaker 1>He's been on like a freaking foodie tour.

1329
01:07:15.320 --> 01:07:18.039
<v Speaker 2>In preparation, in preparation for Cyprus.

1330
01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:20.119
<v Speaker 1>The ones that I'm wondering about are like these big

1331
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>trading guys, so like Danny Tang obviously Paul Fois, those

1332
01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>types of guys. We're gonna we can get those guys

1333
01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:28.239
<v Speaker 1>to cross on over to to play this series. Or

1334
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Jason Kohn, for example.

1335
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Not sure. Yeah, those names were not on the list,

1336
01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:35.599
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't surprise me. I mean, obviously I was looking at

1337
01:07:35.599 --> 01:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>a list of reservations that were a couple of weeks ago,

1338
01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:41.760
<v Speaker 2>so a lot can change in the last two weeks.

1339
01:07:41.960 --> 01:07:44.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe we have one hundred people that are registered.

1340
01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:46.960
<v Speaker 2>So I guess we'll see once we Childwick kicked the

1341
01:07:47.000 --> 01:07:52.239
<v Speaker 2>tour off. Didn't see his name. I mean I would

1342
01:07:52.239 --> 01:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>probably see Chidwick. We probably see Petangelos in. Yeah, we've

1343
01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:58.840
<v Speaker 2>probably in. We probably see Sean Winter, Seth Davis is in.

1344
01:08:02.400 --> 01:08:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Isaac Hackson. I can't remember saying his name, but I

1345
01:08:05.559 --> 01:08:07.119
<v Speaker 2>feel like he's one of the couple names that I

1346
01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:11.199
<v Speaker 2>would I feel like ik is someone that just I.

1347
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Kind of I kind of lean that they're going to

1348
01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>get in, even if they might not be on a

1349
01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>list that you saw or whatever. It's feel like it,

1350
01:08:17.039 --> 01:08:20.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, in eric'sidell, I think is probably gonna come

1351
01:08:23.239 --> 01:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, we'll see. I mean, if if there's like

1352
01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Christoph Voegel saying, I think would certainly play, Ben Heath

1353
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>is a good one because obviously he doesn't come over

1354
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:35.319
<v Speaker 1>to the States to play PGT events, you know, but

1355
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:37.319
<v Speaker 1>he'll play a lot of the trit and stuff. He's

1356
01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:39.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously going to play this one. If we're getting Ben Heath,

1357
01:08:39.880 --> 01:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>if we're getting Nick Pachangelo, I'm guessing we're getting Orpen

1358
01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Cogloo come over and play. So so yeah, it's gonna

1359
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:49.279
<v Speaker 1>be a good feel. Chris Brewer, we're gonna get him.

1360
01:08:49.479 --> 01:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember saying him made that.

1361
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Actually, I would think we might get Brewer. I would

1362
01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>think we would get not Cho Barbara, although I'm not

1363
01:08:57.319 --> 01:09:00.159
<v Speaker 1>really sure. What's interesting is that a lot a lot

1364
01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:03.159
<v Speaker 1>of these these players that we are either going to

1365
01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>get for sure because we know, or we might get

1366
01:09:06.680 --> 01:09:10.279
<v Speaker 1>like like a Jeremy Osmas for example, he's never played

1367
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>super high rollable. Yeah, and a lot of these guys

1368
01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:19.159
<v Speaker 1>have not played super high rollable. Maybe maybe there's somebody

1369
01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>like Jeremy who you know, is an American, right, and

1370
01:09:21.720 --> 01:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>he just hasn't played in the States because it hasn't

1371
01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>been something a tournament that he's viewed as valuable.

1372
01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Right.

1373
01:09:27.439 --> 01:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>But now that it's it's over in Europe, the field

1374
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:32.479
<v Speaker 1>is going to be much larger. Maybe he views it

1375
01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>as a little bit softer, so he's going to take

1376
01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:37.159
<v Speaker 1>his shots. Sell the action. It obviously helps to win

1377
01:09:37.199 --> 01:09:39.399
<v Speaker 1>a boatload of money like he did at the World

1378
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Series of Poker this year, of course, so he's going

1379
01:09:41.840 --> 01:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to make the jump to go play there, and then

1380
01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these other guys you know that that

1381
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>don't come over or at least previously haven't come over

1382
01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to the US to play the Super High rolevel when

1383
01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:55.479
<v Speaker 1>it was in the States, partly because of the laws

1384
01:09:55.520 --> 01:09:57.279
<v Speaker 1>and the taxes and all that sort of stuff being

1385
01:09:57.319 --> 01:09:59.319
<v Speaker 1>a hindrance. And then also just at the Super High

1386
01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Rollable in the State, it's given all of that sort

1387
01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of stuff is just it's harder to get a larger

1388
01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>player pool. So because of that, you know, you're gonna

1389
01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:09.119
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of those guys that will frequent all

1390
01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:12.359
<v Speaker 1>of the Trident stops, for example, come and then hopefully

1391
01:10:12.359 --> 01:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>play this series, hopefully play the Super High Rollable. So

1392
01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's really cool. I think we saw

1393
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>that a couple of years ago when we did the

1394
01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Super High Rollable Europe in Cyprus. You know, we did

1395
01:10:23.520 --> 01:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>what was it two installments of that. You know, you

1396
01:10:25.680 --> 01:10:27.199
<v Speaker 1>saw a lot of guys that we wouldn't see for

1397
01:10:27.199 --> 01:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the regular Super High Rollable stuff. So I mean big picture, like,

1398
01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>hopefully a lot of these guys get in there, they're

1399
01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>able to bank a bunch of PGT points and then

1400
01:10:36.880 --> 01:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that then entices them to continue to chase that leaderboard

1401
01:10:40.960 --> 01:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>standing so they can finish in the top forty and

1402
01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>they can ultimately qualify for the million dollar free role.

1403
01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see that out of specifically phil Ivy,

1404
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:50.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the one I want in the free roll, So

1405
01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:53.199
<v Speaker 1>let's go. He had some results of course at the

1406
01:10:53.199 --> 01:10:56.439
<v Speaker 1>World Series of Poker, he won a bracelet, So can

1407
01:10:56.479 --> 01:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>we get phil Ivy in the free roll? Can we please?

1408
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:01.199
<v Speaker 1>One time?

1409
01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's go.

1410
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>So after Super High Rollable Series, Slash Bowl, Slash Series Bowl,

1411
01:11:07.840 --> 01:11:11.119
<v Speaker 1>also the debut of the new Onyx Club. By the way,

1412
01:11:11.199 --> 01:11:16.279
<v Speaker 1>at the venue, we got Poker Masters coming up in September,

1413
01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that schedule is out and then recently announced we got

1414
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the PGT Poo Series coming up in October. So it's

1415
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a pretty jam pack. Yes, baby, let's go.

1416
01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Is this?

1417
01:11:31.800 --> 01:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Are we still the highest PLO tight now but our

1418
01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:39.439
<v Speaker 1>highest with tide for the highest But like Trenton didn't,

1419
01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:41.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't do one hundred and twenty five kre some right,

1420
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>not yet?

1421
01:11:42.039 --> 01:11:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Not yet?

1422
01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know not yet, you know, like I love

1423
01:11:45.239 --> 01:11:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the trade stuff and it's just a matter of time

1424
01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:49.239
<v Speaker 1>before it comes. But like I saw the WSP Paradise

1425
01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>schedule has one hundred k PLO on it. I know

1426
01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Trenton did one as well. You're gonna have to raise

1427
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>it one oh five next.

1428
01:11:55.800 --> 01:12:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Year, come on one ten, let's go. No, I should

1429
01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:03.359
<v Speaker 2>just be WPT and make it two hundred and twenty

1430
01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:04.800
<v Speaker 2>five ks Weeks said.

1431
01:12:04.920 --> 01:12:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Let's go, baby, No, that's that's cool. That's coming down.

1432
01:12:08.520 --> 01:12:11.560
<v Speaker 1>The pipeline is there. I mean, I know we're still

1433
01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months away, but is there a lot

1434
01:12:13.560 --> 01:12:16.079
<v Speaker 1>of interest for that still, like, because that's a very

1435
01:12:16.079 --> 01:12:18.239
<v Speaker 1>specific player pool that you always talk to.

1436
01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:20.359
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I think there's interest now that it's out,

1437
01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:23.880
<v Speaker 2>and as we start approaching the timeline, I think we'll

1438
01:12:23.920 --> 01:12:25.199
<v Speaker 2>gather some I'm going to do a little bit of

1439
01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:26.479
<v Speaker 2>promotion while I'm inside press.

1440
01:12:26.600 --> 01:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>You better be collecting emails, names, phone numbers.

1441
01:12:29.680 --> 01:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to I already plan it. I'm going to

1442
01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:33.920
<v Speaker 2>give them the schedules, BUD schedules, a letter for the

1443
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>ARIA wiring information, and then I'm going to write a

1444
01:12:37.039 --> 01:12:40.880
<v Speaker 2>personalized letter inviting them to come play. Better tell and

1445
01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>give it to every everyone that plays the PLO.

1446
01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>You better tell them whatut the free role? You better

1447
01:12:44.439 --> 01:12:45.199
<v Speaker 1>have everything in there.

1448
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I've got it. I've got it. I know what I'm doing.

1449
01:12:48.239 --> 01:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying my first radio.

1450
01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just making sure. Let's go, baby, all right? So uh,

1451
01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>on poker Go starting in. When's it start? When's the

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so on Poker Go, you guys can catch all

1458
01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>that action, of course, culminating with the big and bad

1459
01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Super high rollerbrowl. I'm going to be tuning in every day.

1460
01:13:19.279 --> 01:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I love this high buying stuff. I think it's absolutely incredible.

1461
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, that's all we got to talk about here.

1462
01:13:26.399 --> 01:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Looking ahead next well, hopefully we can do some pods

1463
01:13:31.479 --> 01:13:34.560
<v Speaker 1>while you're in Cyprus. Maybe you can grab some winners afterwards,

1464
01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe we can jump on a phone call, whatever it

1465
01:13:36.560 --> 01:13:39.039
<v Speaker 1>may be. I understand if audio quality may not be

1466
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the best, but we'll deal with it because we're going

1467
01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:43.479
<v Speaker 1>on the road, baby, or at least you're going on

1468
01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:47.479
<v Speaker 1>the road for this series. So it'll be good to

1469
01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:49.680
<v Speaker 1>check in with some people over there, get a vibe
