Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to a new episode of the
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. It is
twelve forty two am on Sunday, June twenty eighth. Got
a lot to talk about today, maybe not a lot
to talk about. Few topics here, obviously largely taken up
by the World Series of Poker, but we are going
to dip over to the Win Summer Classic because we
do have a championship event. Winner didn't talk about this
event on the last episode, but we'll wrap it up
by letting you guys know how that one closed out.
It was a first place prize of more than one
zero point eight million dollars. We're gonna hit on the
WSP Ladies Championship because the final table is set. We
got a winner in the fifteen hundred dollars stud High Low.
We know the field size in the popular Mystery Millions
at the World Series of Poker, and it's a big
one of course. And then the field is in the
money in the ten k PLO Championship and there is
a true grinder looking to be leading the way entering
what would be day three on Sunday. That is a
four day event. As always please do like subscribe favorite

less than a week away. If you got a question
about the main event, specifically, throw it my way and
I might get to it on air and shout you
out and read it and give my thoughts and responses.

on on today's show is the Ladies Championship Final table,
But I have the stream up right now. It is
twelve forty five am. There are seven women remaining. I
believe they're ending when they get down to six. I
think they're done in real time because the clock is paused.
On the WSP app, it says six remain, but I
don't know who the six are because it's doing that
feature table player thing. But some players are there in
the app. I can see a couple of them, but
I can't see like three or four of them. So
I'm just very confused. So I'm gonna kick this one
down the rundown a little bit. I'll get to it
in a little while, and hopefully by the time I
get to it, I'm able to talk about it. I mean,
this could actually be the final hand. Right here. There's
one player that's super super short with only a few
big blinds, and everyone else is kind of waiting her out.
That's Tan. So we'll see how that goes and we'll
maybe get back to it. If not, we'll kind of
catch you guys up on this one. We did lose
Jessica Toysol. We did lose Svetlana Gromankova. Both those players,
Gromankova and Toysol were former champions in this event. We
also lost Lexi Gavin Mather she busted out as well.
So trying to play down here, and it's currently Emily
Spencer leading the way. She she made a big call,
a big, big call against a big bluff from Tan,
and that gave her a big chipley and she's cruising
on right now with the chip Ley. All right, So
let's go to the fifteen hundred dollars stud High Low
and that is where Taylor Atchison won his first WSP bracelets.
A field of six hundred and forty seven entries in
this tournament, Atchison won one hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars.
He defeated Daniel federen Off in second place. Fed Enough
taking home one hundred and six thousand dollars. Daniel ging
took third place. Talked about him how he was a
former p GTPLO series winner. Haven't seen him much in
the studio since he won that PGT POO series, But
here he is playing stud Hilo and coming in third place.
Dave stand fourth, Adam Owen fifth, David Bach took sixth place,
and then Jeff Myers finished in seventh place. Atchison, the
winner of this event, told Poker News that he won
this for his wife and kid. He even he did
something pretty cool. So you know they do the winner
photo and they got the chip stacked and you know
all that posing and stuff. Well, he spelled out some
of the chips in his son's name. Jet J E.
T T put the chips in the order. So if
you are looking at the winner photo for Taylor Atchison,
you can see that. He said that they would only
let him spell his son's name and not also his
wife's name. His wife's name name is Angela, but he
shouted them both out. He said that it takes a
lot of sacrifice for on their behalf to allow him
to come out to Las Vegas and play some poker.
And here he is coming home with a bracelet and
one hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars in the Mystery Millions.
The one K Mystery Millions final two starting flights took
place on Saturday. You had the fifth flight one E
that was the regular flight for the day, so you know,
regular timing on that one, and then you also had
an additional turbo flight that was one F. The regular
flight got six nine hundred and eighty five entries, down
from last year's regular flight, last year's sorry, last year's
final regular flight, last year's final regular flight which was
also one E eighty one hundred and eighteen entries. So
this year one E getting six nine and eighty five
that's down fourteen percent. But they did make up for
it with the final turbo flight which drew four thousand
and forty seven entries. So total field size for this
year's w s AP Mystery Millions twenty two thousand, eight
hundred and fifteen entries, which I believe is good for
third or fourth all time. Yeah, fourth place. Fourth place
is the twenty twenty six WSIP Mistery Millions twenty two thousand,
eight hundred and fifteen entries. It moves ahead of the
two thousand and fifteen Douvasipy Colossus that had twenty two thousand,
three hundred and seventy four entries, So he bumps that
one down to fifth. And because it bumps that one
down to fifth, it bumped this year's colossus, the twenty
twenty sixth version out of the top fifteen. That was fifteenth.
Now that one's right outside at sixteen, ahead of the
DISIP Mystery millions from this year. You still got the
twenty twenty three Disip Gladiators at twenty three thousand and
eighty eight entries. Then you have the twenty twenty five
DISIP Gladiators of Poker twenty four thousand, six hundred and
twenty nine entries, and then the biggest one of them all,
the twenty nineteen Big fifty that was won by I
believe Femi Fashikin. I believe what was the gentleman's name, uh,
twenty eight thousand, three hundred and seventy one entries, Yeah,
Femi Fauschigen. He won one million, one hundred and forty
seven thousand dollars, So he turned a freaking five hundred
dollars buying into one point one four million dollars in
this one. I mean, holy hell, that's just absolutely incredible.
This event did. That event did have a guarantee on it.
You know, normally the DOVISIP doesn't do guarantees on their events,
but that one did have a five million dollar guarantee
and a one million dollar first place prize guarantee. So,
but this year's wa SIP Mystery Millions is officially the
fourth largest live poker tournament of all time. We don't
know the full prize pool yet and how it all
breaks out, and you know, how how the mystery boundies
are gonna work. Believe they do guarantee at least one
one million dollar mystery bounty pool, but they have been
doing two, so I would anticipate they probably do two again.
And there's a total of about nineteen million dollars a
little bit less than nineteen million dollars in the total
prize bowl, you know, with that's the regular prize bool
plus the bounty prize bowl. They are still playing the
final starting flight, so they might be done with one
E and then they're playing one F trying to get
down to in the money, and then everyone's going to
bag up and come back on Sunday with it. With
everyone that's bagging up coming back on Sunday, It's going
to be freaking packed at Horseshoe and Paris, absolutely freaking packed.
It's Day one A of the one K Mini Main Event.
So you got this one K Mystery Millions. All those
starting flights are going to be done. Of course, there's
gonna be a ton of people that made it through
to Sunday's day too, but for those who didn't, this
is a great weekend. This is one of those great
weekends at the World Series of Poker when you get
a lot of bang for your buck. You know, you
could have come in on Friday, got some rest, fired
the final two starting flights in the one K Mystery Millions.
If those don't work out out, then on Sunday you
got to Day one A of the one K Mini
Main Event. There are three starting flights in the Mini
main event, one k entry freeze out per flight. Okay,
it'll be Sunday, Monday Tuesday for that, and then it'll
be Day two and then Day three. Players are in
the money in the ten K PLO Championship and they
had well over eight hundred entries in the field. Registration
was open until some point today eight hundred and thirty
six entries in the field for this one one million,
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars up top. Sorry, I'm
a little bit distracted by this giant pot that's being
played out with the ladies file table right now. Kalyn
Komski is just freaking going for it here with kick
Queen off on the six to three to three flop Halou,
I believe is how you pronounced the woman's name with
an overpair of nines, and she doesn't look like she's
going anywhere this this could very well be the final
hand if I mean, Kaylen's got sub one spr here
on the turn six three three, turn four and I
get an ad on YouTube. What in the holy hell?
Come on, people, Kaylyn Comeski out there looking like an
absolute freaking boss the terminator give it off. Note Sorry,
I'm just gonna stay with us on it. I don't
care what you guys think. And if you guys hate
this or not. On a podcast, Rich Ryan producer Rich
probably gonna hate me, but I really don't care. Okay,
Kaylen's checking probably gonna shut it down. Didn't absolutely blast
off her stack, although we did see Tan blast off
her stack with the Queen Night suited about fifteen minutes ago.
That's what gave a Lou all her chips on a
double up. All right back to the ten k PLO Championship.
At time of recording, which is right now twelve fifty
five am, I said there was a grinder doing well,
and it's Michael the Grinder miss Rocky, who looks like
he's on one of those grinder esque runs. He had
a huge stack after day one. It is now day
two of this four day event, and he has an
absolute pile of chips. He's like, at least per the
Poker News counts, he's double anyone else in the field.
And I mean that it might not be exactly correct,
but that checks out because I've been watching the stream
for the last hour or two here at home, and
they've been checking in on the ten KPLO Championship, and
when they've been checking in, they've mostly been checking in
on Michael mcrocky, and every time they check in on him,
he's busting someone and raking in a pile of chips.
So I mean, he's just absolutely steamrolling the field. And
we've seen this before with Michael Mczrocky. When this guy
gets hot, like he's virtually unstoppable. He's got eight gold bracelets,
he's going for number nine. He obviously won the fifty
k PPC four times. He won the main event last year.
Like this guy is just an absolute free and steamroller,
and now he's here cooking, absolutely cooking with what is it,
less than fifty players left in the ten k PLO Championship,
so that this could be a whole hell of a
lot of fun for the rest of the ride in
this tournament if Michael mcsrocky stays hot. Just also scanning
through the chip guns, I see Ryan Reese, another WSB
main event champ, is doing very well. Martin Zemani's still
got chips. That looks like Farid Johnton is in there,
Kristin Fox and Okay, Kristin stepping out from two cards
going to four cards, and here she is. She looks
like she's got about probably a top twenty stack with
around forty five players remaining. Ian Matakis, a former Player
of the Year. He looks like he's still in. Jesse
Lonis his name is still in the chip counts as
having chips. I have been following Jesse on Instagram. He's
been posting some photos. He's had a lot of chips
throughout Day two here on, the tournament has slipped down
a little bit as others have kind of risen up,
but Jesse's still doing very well. And then josh Aria
at least the time recording said to still be in.
So that's a big tournament, really really big tournament. That's
one of those really prestigious ones that I know a
lot of people would love to win. Plus, you know,
when you get a ten K championship event like this,
it's not you know, not all of them get upwards
of eight hundred entries like this ten KPLO Championship did.
Right now, with forty four players remaining, they're guaranteed thirty
two thousand dollars. Next page ump is thirty seven, then
forty three. So this one's gonna be a lot of fun.
It is a four day tournament, so Sunday is gonna
bring Day three. They're gonna play down which is likely
to the final table. Then they'll come back on Monday
and they will finish it out in the twenty five
hundred dollars Mixed big bet. Looks like they're up to
almost four hundred entries in the field. They got Scottie
Abrams is doing well. John Raisner probably not such a
good call by me on John Rasner. You know, I
thought he was really gonna have a good summer. I
talked about it on some of the earlier episodes. This summer.
He really hasn't done too much. He had that final table.
I think ten k ggi millions was the one that
he final tabled. But other than that, you know, I
don't think John John Racer has really made too much
noise so missed by me there. Nacho Barbaro's got some chips.
Dan Smith has got some chips. All right. It's got
to that point where I guess I just have to
wrap it up on the Ladies event. I mean, unless
I want to come back to it after I talk
about the win championship. There's still seven players remaining. They're
trying to get down to six. Emily Spencer is the
big chip leader. She's got a pile of chips over
there in seat two. She looks like she's been playing
incredibly well. I talked about how she made that really
big call against Lisa tan you got sky Chen, Victoria Alu,
Lisa Tibaji, Aubrey Williams, Caitlyn Kameski, and then Lisa Tan
also in the mix here. So seven players remaining. Still,
We're gonna give it another five minutes. That's just what
we're gonna have to do. As we talk about this
Win Summer Classic, so Yohan Strava winning the Win Summer
Classic Championship. Ten thousand, four hundred dollars buy in for
that event, one of the biggest and best of the year,
Eleven hundred and seventy entries, as you guys might recall
me talking about that, led to a prize pool that
was almost eleven million dollars. Ten million dollars were guaranteed
for the prize pool. They got ten million, nine hundred
and seventy thousand, I believe was the number one million,
eight hundred and twenty four one thousand dollars up top
Strava taking it down. He came into the final table
on Saturday, nine players remained and he was eight out
of nine, but he ended up storming back. Goes on
to play Georgi Shlukiya. I've seen this name many times.
I don't think I've ever actually tried to pronounce it,
and I probably just completely butchered that one. Sorry Georgie.
But he finished in second place for one point two
four four million, two million dollar winners crowned here jan
Zarn's third place. He was then on the rail for
Straver's victory. Good friends believe they're both Dutch. Ben fan
Uh six hundred and eighty three k for fourth place,
Mario Kiez fifth place, five oh six yours Reisch sixth
place for three hundred and seventy five thousand, Giya seventh
place to hundred and eighty K, Guillamero Sanchez Otero to
a hundred and fourteen thousand dollars for an eighth place finish,
and then Lynn Ling len Zeng one hundred and sixty
six thousand dollars for her for finishing in ninth place.
As this one pertains to Straver his largest live tournament score.
His previous best was a fourth place finish from earlier
this year at Triton jay Ju for one point one
six to one million dollars that was in a one
hundred and fifty k by an event, So this is
his second seven figure score of the year and also
the second seven figure score of his career, and this
year twenty twenty six, Strawverer is having by far the
best year on the live felt with more than three
point six million in live winnings. All Right, well, I
don't really have too much else to talk about. I
covered the stuff at the w sip Okay, I got
the win Summer Classic Championship out of the way, So yeah,
I think we're just gonna leave it at that. There's
still seven players remaining in this Ladies Championship at the
World Series of Poker. The final table is for sure
happening on Sunday. It will be live streams, so you
guys can watch it. I would highly encourage you to
watch it. I have been watching a bit of it today.
It's been a little bit of a slower day work
wise and at the World Series of Poker, so I
have been able to tune in quite a bit. Emily Spencer,
at least right now, is the big chip leader, and
I would imagine that with the way she's playing, she's
not going to give up this chip lead. It's quite
a healthy one. You got sky Chen, you got Victoria
Alu in there as well. Although Victoria just gave up
a chunk of chips to Caitlyn Kameski. Kameski's obviously still in.
Lisa Tibaji still in, Aubrey Williams, she had the chip
lead coming into today. She is still in. And then
Lisa Tan Tan she did double up, but she's still
the short stack, I believe. Now with seven players remaining
one hundred and ninety four thousand dollars up top in
this Ladies Championship, the final seven are guaranteed twenty eight
thousand dollars. If they make it to the final six,
they will be getting thirty seven thousand dollars. So all right,
that's going to do it for me. Make sure you
guys tune into the Basicity broadcast on Sunday for the
conclusion of this one K Ladies Championship, a record setting
Ladies Championship. Shout out to my guy Jeff Platt. He
is done with some of his duties at the World
Series of Poker and he is going to be hopping
