All right, 39 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.080 w s AP predictions, sir? Are you ready? Never never ready? 40 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.439 Never ready? But I will I will admit that I'm 41 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.840 fully unprepared for this as well. Okay, just because just 42 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.759 trying to set up all this sort of stuff. Get ready, 43 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.960 it's been a week whatever, but it is what it is. 44 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.439 I think the first question that we have to hit 45 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.800 on is something that we've already touched on once, but 46 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.080 it's worth touching on again. We're probably gonna touch on 47 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.240 it a few times throughout the summer. It's probably gonna 48 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.680 be one of those topics that not only us, but 49 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.199 several media outlets hit on multiple times. I'm sure the man, 50 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.719 mister Phil Helmeth's gonna be asked, I'll say, a dozen times, 51 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.639 maybe two dozen times over the summer. Is Phil Hellmuth 52 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.759 gonna play the twenty twenty five ws BE main event? 53 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.240 Of course, I mean, I'm right with you. I also 54 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.800 think yes, yeah, I mean I think it's too big 55 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:12.879 to miss, and he's got it. He's got an out 56 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.680 as far as I'm concerned, Meaning when it comes to 57 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.719 that time, he can be like, did you guys really 58 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.159 think I was gonna miss the exactly the biggest event 59 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.840 in the world, like YadA, YadA, YadA whatever, like you know, 60 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.039 I mean, and honestly he should just do a day 61 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.960 to entry and that's that. Yeah. 62 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.719 I mean, he's not going to turn down being in 63 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.159 the spotlight, doing his entrance like normal. But yeah, most 64 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.479 likely I would expect the day two and then yeah, 65 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.759 he does have those. He does have that backup plan 66 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:43.960 of saying I. 67 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:45.719 Was just drugging with you guys. Come on, yeah, you 68 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.919 think you think you know? Mister miss you know is 69 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.039 gonna miss the biggest event in the world, the one 70 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.560 that I won way back when that I almost won 71 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.199 multiple times. No, it's no, he's not missing it. And 72 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.039 if he does miss it, I mean I'll be shocked, 73 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.000 but I don't. I don't think he's gonna miss it. 74 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.080 All right. Speaking of Phil Helmuth, let's stick on the 75 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.439 poker brad himself. How many gold bracelets is he gonna 76 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.719 win this summer? Is he gonna win any? In your 77 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.960 head you are mister phil hammis I am wearing a 78 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.199 Phil HOMEI shit, oh my god, I didn't even realize. 79 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.160 Just get that, Jesus Lord. 80 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.920 The head says no, but the hat says yes, he's 81 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:26.560 gonna get one. 82 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.560 I mean no zero. You say he's gonna get one. Yeah, okay, 83 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.279 he's not gonna guess he's not going to get in Roy. 84 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.519 I mean part of me says, now I know phil 85 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.519 Hammyth has obviously made a career of crushing the World 86 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.480 Series of Poker, and I know he's a very good player, 87 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.800 right at least when it comes to like basic B threshold. Now, 88 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.879 can he hang with some of the high rollers and whatnot? No, 89 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.879 but he also kind of like skips those fields, right, 90 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.399 Like he plays in the stuff that it certainly caters 91 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.160 to his strengths, which I think benefits him. But One, 92 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.319 it's very hard to win a bracelet, Okay. Two, I'm 93 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.160 just going with the fact that if he is ultimately 94 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.720 going to make a big stink about how long tournaments are, 95 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.160 how tiring they are, how he's getting older, all this 96 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.759 sort of stuff, then all right, maybe you're just mentally 97 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.839 not ready for the summer ahead. And I'm gonna say 98 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.600 that's gonna affect your game and you're not gonna win 99 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.240 any bracelets. Now. Of course, if he does win a bracelet, amazing, right, 100 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.199 But I'm gonna I'm gonna say no. I'm going to 101 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.560 say no, he's going to be stuck for another year 102 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.439 without winning one. So we'll see. But maybe we'll get 103 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.439 a blow over two not on the list. Speaking of that, 104 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.519 will we get a helmet blow up, and what I 105 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.759 mean by that is like one that kind of goes 106 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:50.480 viral within the space. 107 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.000 I think you have to rework the question and say 108 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.000 what date will we have with the fail helm with 109 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:57.439 blow up? 110 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.120 I think that's more important. We're definitely gonna have one on. 111 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.959 It's probably gonna be when some idiot beats him in 112 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.240 a hand with fourteen left in a. 113 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.160 But I don't just I don't just want like a 114 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.680 guy to beat him in a hand and he says 115 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.439 a couple of things to him whatever I want, like 116 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.560 full blow up, like full like ranting. Maybe doesn't have 117 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.160 to be as crazy as that time in No Game 118 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.000 in the Future when he threw the mic pack, but 119 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.399 you know heih Sike spoke. We're kind of storming out 120 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.800 of the set, like you know, something like that, you know, 121 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:29.399 possibly like like one of those blow ups where people 122 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.399 start questioning if he should be penalized. Like that's kind 123 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:36.920 of a line, okay, you know, yeah, June twelfth day, 124 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.240 June twelfth, all right, yeah, no big deal. We're like 125 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.759 thirteen days into the wab boom. We're gonna be calling 126 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:47.079 for half if you get a penalty. I think we'll 127 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.639 have some verbal tie rades. I just don't think we'll 128 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.480 go as far anymore. Like I feel like in kind 129 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.560 of recent years he's kind of tiptotal a little bit 130 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.519 towards it, but he ultimately hasn't got to the point 131 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.639 where there's kind of that that outrage on social media 132 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.600 within the community when I'd be like, hey, how come 133 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.279 he doesn't get a penalty? What the heck is this? 134 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.600 All that sort of stuff. So we'll have, you know, 135 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.040 various tie raids. You know, he'll probably do some ranting, 136 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.480 some some calling of names under his breath, but I 137 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.279 don't think we're gonna get full Phil Helmuth blowout, So 138 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.920 I'll say no to that one. Phil Helmuth is a 139 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.399 former ws AP main event champion. Will we see a 140 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.319 former man ement champion reach the final table of the 141 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.600 WSP Man Event this year? Oh? 142 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.040 I thought this was going to be of any pricelet event? 143 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:33.920 Well I was. I changed it on the fly, and 144 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.040 I was gonna then ask any final table after? So 145 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.120 I'll say first man event, No, yeah, obviously, no, okay, 146 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.759 now any final yes, Phil Hellmuth w eighteenth the price letter, Well, yeah, 147 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.439 that tracks obviously, I would say, funny, I was the 148 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.199 line's got to be like three and a half three 149 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:56.199 and a half under. Not a lot of them play 150 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.519 that much, but toking just Vegas main event. To clarify, Yeah, 151 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.560 knock are doing it like all this other stuff, but 152 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.560 like there's not I mean, they play, but like, okay, 153 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.639 let's take I would probably start with like Chris Moneymaker 154 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.680 because like pre Chris Moneymaker, they probably don't play a 155 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.920 whole ton if at all, you know, like like look 156 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.560 look pre Chris Moneymaker, Robert Varconi, huck Seed, like they 157 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.879 don't even play, you know, for one event. But Chris Moneymaker, right, 158 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.879 he plays a couple of events, but it's a couple 159 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.120 you know. He like he kind of comes out, maybe 160 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.440 does one kind of little stint, maybe goes back home, 161 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.000 comes out for the main like that sort of thing. 162 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.320 So it's not high volume. I think if someone like 163 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:41.320 Greg Merson right also only comes out for like various 164 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.080 stints at times, you know, a very good player, yes, 165 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.559 but but doesn't put the volume in, then you have 166 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:53.279 on the East Coast somewhere. So shed liquidity WSV dot com. Okay, 167 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.720 we're not counting that's as final title. Oh no, no, 168 00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.519 these questions refer to only the live stuff. 169 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.879 It's just it's just easier that way. Come on, either way, 170 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.519 here's who I'm betting. I'm betting on Ryan Race, Joe mckaon. 171 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.080 Is okay. Are they all going to be here playing 172 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.159 like a full volume? I think so. 173 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.159 Joe Hashim's gonna come out of play a few events, obviously, a. 174 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.080 Few events, A few events. He's good. He's gonna play 175 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.159 like three plow turns. He's good. 176 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.720 He's not good that he'll find one of those. Obviously, 177 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.360 Phil Helm with uh, you know, Jim Besh will play 178 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:28.960 some of those mixed game ones that you know, and 179 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.600 they get one hundred and thirty players, so much easier 180 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.919 to make a fundampy that one. I like my three 181 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.519 and a half, but I was taking too account online. 182 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.840 I think somebody will, but I'm taking under on your 183 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.879 three and a half. As it relates to the live realm, 184 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.480 I think somebody will again make a final table live 185 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.360 at the Way this year, but I think it's gonna 186 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.480 be hard for you know, several of them, just because 187 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.440 I don't think that the volume is there. You know, 188 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.639 you even have people like Daniel Wineman recently responding to 189 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.440 your tweet basically saying that like he's not playing the 190 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.240 main event. Does that mean he's not playing at all? 191 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.879 I mean he seems like a guy who was kind 192 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.720 of trying to get his way out of poker to 193 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.679 begin with. Yeah, and then he happens to rip off 194 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.480 the main for ten million, and now it's just like, 195 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.080 all right, get out of jail free cards. I got 196 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:11.720 ten million dollars. 197 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.039 I'm gonna whatever I want for the rest of you 198 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:13.840 being a dad. 199 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.799 Yeah for real, all right? What is the deepest a 200 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.840 former w S A p main event winner will go 201 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.639 in the main event this year? Is that final table? 202 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.840 Is that final three tables? Top one hundred? Just in 203 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.279 the money? What's it going to be? 204 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.120 I'll take top hundred easily, top one easily easily. 205 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.720 We should bet this stuff. I'm not taking top one hundred. 206 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.639 I'm just trying to think top twenty seven is pretty hot. 207 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:39.799 But I'll take top one. 208 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.120 Hundred, all right. I'm going top five hundred, okay, And 209 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.679 I just don't think, you know, hard to just get 210 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:52.360 the top one hundred of the made event. That is insane, insane? 211 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:58.200 How many former mainument champions are gonna play twelve Yeah, 212 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:02.440 it's a good. Yeah, Well, we think Helmut is gonna play, 213 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.320 You'll probably get money Maker, You're probably get Jacobson. 214 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.480 Jonathan Tomayo. Yes, yes, we're gonna rule that Wineman, right, 215 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:10.320 that's what. 216 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.200 Yeah, I mean, that's what. That's what he responded. By 217 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.159 the way, everyone Tim has been putting out these like 218 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.639 stats and stuff on Twitter one a day as it 219 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.440 relates to the ever speak great stuff, absolutely great stuff. 220 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.600 But but you put one out there about former main 221 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.639 event champions like cashing the next year because and then 222 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.799 Dan Weinman said like, I won't be busting. He basically 223 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.080 was insinuating he's not playing the main event. He just 224 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.360 sound like he was gonna win at all. 225 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:37.600 No, but like it's yeah, well, Tomayo, Espen Karai, Damien 226 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.080 Selas and Sound will play. 227 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.320 Damon's loss might honestly be a lock for the top 228 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.080 one hundred. He always runs deep stuff. 229 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.639 He'll play right six, Queen Win seven McKee and a 230 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:58.000 Jacobsen nine, Race Merson, that's up to eleven, Jaccatta twelve, 231 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.840 Yang and Gold probably God Goal as. 232 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.440 That new sponsorship. Yeah, right, so that means he should 233 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.480 be in there. Money Maker fifty eight, it's more like 234 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.559 eighteen probably because then you're gonna get some randoms, like 235 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.799 you know, whoever that gets in money makers for sure 236 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:19.120 usually plays Johnny Chamberry Johnson. Yeah, he didn't even name Helmut. 237 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.879 We think he's gonna play, even though he said he 238 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:25.759 wasn't gonna play. Does he play? Excuse me? He plays 239 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.039 the main event at least? Yeah, I mean, I don't know, 240 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.799 it's probably closer to eighteen nineteen something like that. What 241 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.320 is the deepest a female player is going to go 242 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.600 in the main event this year? Of course, last year 243 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.120 we had Kristen fox and what was a twelfth, thirteenth 244 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.440 something like that, super super deep almost made the final table. 245 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.559 So how far is a female player going to run 246 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:50.519 this year? 247 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.799 Further than a main event champion? But top one hundred still. 248 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.960 Okay, I got final three table? Whoa Okay. I think 249 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:03.559 there's just a lot of really really really solid women 250 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.279 who play poker these days, A lot of them, like 251 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.600 I think, forefront of everyone's mind, as we just mentioned 252 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.519 Kristin Foxen. But there are a lot of really really 253 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.240 really efing good female poker players, like even ones that 254 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.840 you don't necessarily know, like they kind of they get 255 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.159 their time in the spotlight during the Ladies Championship. You 256 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.519 watch that stream, you follow the coverage, and you're like, Wow, 257 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.960 holy hell, Like this person has played extremely well, you know. 258 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.600 So there's a lot of just really really good female 259 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:33.360 poker players, and you know, I think that they can 260 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.080 do extremely well in the main events. So I'm gonna 261 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.759 go final three tables. And I'm also going to say 262 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.200 it's probably gonna be someone we don't necessarily know about. 263 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.600 I mean, maybe we've heard the name here or there, 264 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.279 but it's not going to be not that it can't 265 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.919 be a Maria j or Kristin Foxen, you know, those 266 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.960 sort of big names. I just I think it's going 267 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.879 to be more of an unknown female player who kind 268 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.279 of has her breakout moment on poker's biggest stage. So 269 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.759 That's what I'm going with there, Will any woman win 270 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.519 an open field bracelet event? Yes, and know the Ladies 271 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.440 Championship does not count as an open field No, this 272 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.639 is alive. I'm still gonna say yes. I feel like 273 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.759 we'll get one. I also say yes again going back 274 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:19.799 to what I said about the waspy main event. There 275 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:26.120 are just too many very good, capable, successful female poker 276 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.399 players who can do it. You know, so I think that, yeah, 277 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:34.159 we're we're going to see it happen, all right? Moving on, 278 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.919 will or sorry? Who will be the top performing high 279 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.720 roller across the series? Now, you and I talked a 280 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.080 little bit before we hopped on air here. Top performing 281 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.080 is kind of open to interpretation, you know. The way 282 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.360 that I kind of classify it is like if you 283 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.240 were to say, let's say, five, ten, fifteen years from now, oh, 284 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.360 twenty twenty five, doubasp which high roller was the best 285 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.279 or had the best series? Boom, you just named the person. 286 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.840 Like That's kind of of how it's you know, and 287 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:03.879 it doesn't have to be exact, but it can kind 288 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.679 of be like you can you can make the argument 289 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.879 in a way, you know. So that's what I'm going 290 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.000 with there. I go a bit on film. 291 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:15.320 Yeah, and I take my boy, a PGT boy Alex Foxen. 292 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.039 Same. I got Alex Foxen too. He's been doing extremely 293 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.519 well both on the PGT this season also now currently 294 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:25.799 over in Triton, he's doing very well. He won an 295 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.440 event already, He's had some deep runs, so I like 296 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:32.120 that form as well. For Alex Foxen, you obviously know 297 00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:33.879 he's gonna put in the volume at the dovasit B 298 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.960 he's going to play all all sorts of buy ins. 299 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.159 I actually think that, you know, just going off what 300 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.159 we talked about last time in that article for Polker 301 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.480 dot Org, I believe he mentioned kind of along the 302 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.600 lines of like a Philhamuth, you know, just hinting at 303 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.399 sort of the stamina aspect, the health aspect of things, 304 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.200 where he might focus a little bit less this year 305 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.840 on smaller buying events and really focus towards the higher 306 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:57.840 buying events and like, you know, just make sure that 307 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.759 he's one hundred percent every time he goes into one 308 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.399 of those big buy in field. So so yeah, I 309 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.960 think Alex Foxon is gonna have a very good summer. 310 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.679 And you know, of course he's an incredible player. So 311 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.840 that makes sense. Of the top ten ranked PGT players 312 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.240 right now, which I'm gonna rely on you to list 313 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.240 them in a second, So pull up that list, mister 314 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.879 PGT commissioner, Who's gonna be the best performer this wsop? 315 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:22.720 So who do we got? Well? Current top ten? 316 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.080 Eric Blair in order, Alex fox and China, Raim Kristen Foxen, 317 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.080 Joey Weisman, Nick Schulman, Daniel Nogrando, Jesse Lernis, Shannon Shaw, 318 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.320 and Jim Callapee. I'm gonna take Alex foxon again. You 319 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:36.799 just gotta keep gonna keep betting on that man. 320 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.320 I'm also taking Alex foxon again. I mean, how can 321 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.879 you not if you name him already for the previous question, 322 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.919 I think you have to name him right now as well. 323 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.519 So Alex take a second person. 324 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.200 Let's take a second person then, Okay, I'm gonna go 325 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.399 with Jesse Linis, just because he's having a great just 326 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.679 like Alex's great series of tried and doing really well. 327 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.759 He's he's primed for another big world series. Shannon Shore 328 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:00.840 good one. 329 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.799 Yeah, I mean he's, you know, talking about form like 330 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.480 he's been just crushing this year. So I expect Channon 331 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.400 Shore to have a really really big summer. Predict one 332 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:16.160 player to win multiple bracelets in twenty twenty five. I'm 333 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.319 going to take a guy live only, live only, Buddy 334 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.079 live only, this is rigged. 335 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.839 I'm going to take a guy that is going to 336 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:28.200 play the most events with the smallest fields and has 337 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.480 won multiple bracelets in the same year. 338 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.920 And you don't where I'm going. I think won a. 339 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.799 Pretty big event right here in the studio earlier this year, 340 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:40.880 taking Chad eaves Sledge. 341 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.359 That's not where I thought you were going. But I 342 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:44.920 thought you were going to go with Chris Brewer. 343 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:50.759 Oh yeah, he's rushed up. Chad eaves Sledge plays all 344 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.960 the mix He plays the No Limit high Rollers, the 345 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.640 p Loo high Rollers. Also does play online. But you know, 346 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.000 obviously that's not going to count anymore. He's my pretty 347 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.960 shouldn't win multiple bracelets just like he did a couple 348 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:02.440 years ago. 349 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.119 Okay, that makes sense. I'm going with kind of an 350 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.519 off the radar pick, but it is in a similar 351 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.039 vein of a mixed game player. But I believe he 352 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:14.160 can also play the big beat games at least with 353 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.200 enough competency to you know, probably be a favorite over 354 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.440 the majority of the fields that you get out at 355 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.079 the WSP. And that's David Funkhauser. Okay, so I like 356 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.359 that one. Yeah, a little bit off the board there, 357 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.839 but I got Funkhauser. Give us three picks for WSP 358 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.000 Player of the Year. We're gonna pick a favorite, We're 359 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.759 gonna pick a mid mid tier contender, and we're gonna 360 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.160 pick one long shot. 361 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:43.720 My favorite is is Shuan dy and the main reason 362 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.680 is I think the I think there's only a few 363 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:47.680 favorites when it comes to WSP Player of the Year. 364 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.039 Yeah, I think some of the other ones. My how 365 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:51.519 many do you think there are? Just give me like 366 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.119 a number. Is it more like three year, is it 367 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:54.920 more like fifteen? 368 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:59.039 I feel like it's three. I think it's the Grano. 369 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:03.319 It could just to but Nograno and Deep, I really 370 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.240 they're They're tier one of all WSP Player of the 371 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.680 Year candidates, and then you have a kind of a 372 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:12.880 bigger tier two, which is like I think the Shaman's, 373 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.680 the osmas Is, Michael Manchek, all those kind of people 374 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.160 that are going to play big schedules and play events 375 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:20.880 where they can accue a lot of points, and then 376 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.599 you have basically everyone else. So I think Nograno, after 377 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:27.759 winning a bracelet last year, pressure might not be there. 378 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.319 I could be wrong, but I think Deep always wants 379 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:33.920 to win. This is always going to push to try 380 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.279 and win one, two, three, four bracelets, win another Player 381 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.000 of the Year title and really stamp his legacy. So, 382 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.039 Sean Dee's my my favorite, pick about yours? 383 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.480 I'm not taking a favorite. What do you mean You're 384 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.279 not take your favorite. I'm in charge of the podcast 385 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.559 and we have twenty five K fantasy coming up, so 386 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.839 I'm going to abstain right now. Oh my, but once 387 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.039 you see who we select you, that will be my favorite. 388 00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:59.880 So stay tuned for a couple of days. I can 389 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.119 give the opponents to any sort of edge. You know, 390 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.079 there's supposedly a lot of new teams. I don't know 391 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:05.720 any of who the heck these guys are listening, so 392 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.160 I'm not I'm not giving my favorite. Did you only 393 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.440 you only gave favorite? Okay, I'm gonna say my mid 394 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:16.400 tier then, Okay, Bryce Jockey interests. That's a good one. 395 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.400 He's got a mid year right, No, No, it's good. 396 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:21.279 I never really would have consider him. He plays a lot, 397 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:23.839 plays a lot of plays all the games. He I 398 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.599 think he cares a crap ton like he wants to win. 399 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.079 He's super competitive, you know. 400 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:33.400 I think in some ways he's kind of got something 401 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.000
