Speaker 1: nine just up today. It's Sunday, August twenty fifth here
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Three straight days of action, twenty four entries,
Speaker 1: more than seven million dollars in a prize in the
Speaker 1: prize school. Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks on the call,
Speaker 1: and they called the crowning of Seth Davies. He was
Speaker 1: the player standing alone at the top of the mountain
Speaker 1: when things were all said and done.
Speaker 2: Makes the call and there is that signature win for
Speaker 2: Seth Davies, so many close calls in his career.
Speaker 1: He gets the job done here.
Speaker 2: To join a list of illustrious champion.
Speaker 1: You heard it there, Jeff Platt calling Seth Davies as
Speaker 1: the Winter. He defeated Juan Pardo Dominguez in heads up play.
Speaker 1: Both players had a straight Davies had the best of it,
Speaker 1: was able to get his jam called. And that was
Speaker 1: all she wrote for the Spaniard in second place, Davies
Speaker 1: taking home three million, two hundred and six thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for his efforts. Three hundred thousand dollars buy in on
Speaker 1: the Super High Roller Bowl. This was the flagship Super
Speaker 1: High Roller Bowl. Davies joins a very very good group
Speaker 1: of past champions for this event. Brian rast Rayner, Kempy,
Speaker 1: Christoph Vogelsaging Justin Bonima, Isaac Haxton, Michael Odamo, Daniel Legrand
Speaker 1: New and then Isaac Hackston again. So Davies is now
Speaker 1: in that elite group. One parto one point nine million
Speaker 1: for second place for him. Jeremy Osmas continues his absolutely
Speaker 1: blazing hot year. One point two million for third place
Speaker 1: for Jeremy Osmas. And hey, if you missed it, you
Speaker 1: guys should go back and listen to the last episode
Speaker 1: when I talked to Jeremy just before he got on
Speaker 1: a plane to go over to Europe to play in
Speaker 1: this series. And Leonard Maua he got fourth place for
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. But Davies, he's the
Speaker 1: man we all need to celebrate. He's on top of
Speaker 1: it all. It feels like for quite some time, you know,
Speaker 1: Davies has always been showing up to these events, the
Speaker 1: biggest events in the world. He plays a hunt of
Speaker 1: the PGT stuff, He plays high rollers with the WSP,
Speaker 1: he plays them all over the world. He plays the
Speaker 1: Triton stuff, et cetera, et cetera. But the results, you know,
Speaker 1: really haven't been there. A lot was made a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago about all of the close calls and
Speaker 1: beats and all that sort of stuff that Chris Brewer
Speaker 1: was taking. You know, Seth Davies is kind of in
Speaker 1: the same vein. You know, he's just constantly showing up.
Speaker 1: A very seasoned player, extremely talented, very studied, but you know,
Speaker 1: he just wasn't breaking through. Now, he did win earlier
Speaker 1: in the PGT season. Earlier this year he won the
Speaker 1: final event, the twenty five thousand dollars buying at the
Speaker 1: PGTPLO series. So that was a big score for him.
Speaker 1: Believe he took like five hundred and twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for that one. But this one, you know, this is
Speaker 1: in another category all by itself. Super high roller bull
Speaker 1: victory and let's now hear from Seth Davies. Tim caught
Speaker 1: up with him after the victory.
Speaker 3: Seth congratulations you just went super high ROLLBOE nine. I
Speaker 3: want to know what's what's going on right now? How
Speaker 3: what's the emotion, like, what's the what's the headspace like
Speaker 3: after winning three point two million oars?
Speaker 4: I mean super intense, man. It It was especially when
Speaker 4: we only played heads up two hands, so like I
Speaker 4: was just kind of settling into like, Okay, I'm playing
Speaker 4: a massive heads up match for one point three million,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden secondhand I make like
Speaker 4: basically the nuts and I'm all in and he's tanking,
Speaker 4: like wow, he's gonna call I'm gonna win like this.
Speaker 4: I was thinking right through there, So it was just
Speaker 4: very intense right away. It came in a big, big
Speaker 4: wave of just like you know, I'm playing a gigantic
Speaker 4: heads up match and then it's over, and it so
Speaker 4: very intense. Have calmed down a little bit now, but
Speaker 4: you know, it's as you fork as.
Speaker 5: It gets from poker.
Speaker 3: Where does the super high rollerbale for you personally rank
Speaker 3: among all these high role eponomis that you play around
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean super high rollable ranks super high. Especially
Speaker 4: for me, it has like a special place in my
Speaker 4: heart because the first time I ever played a gigantic
Speaker 4: tournament like over one hundred k was super high rollable
Speaker 4: in Vegas. I think it was twenty eighteen and I
Speaker 4: actually bubbled, So it was you know, the first time
Speaker 4: I experienced like a very high stakes like this went
Speaker 4: really bad. You know, like I was had such high
Speaker 4: hopes for this tournament and I end up bubbling getting nothing.
Speaker 4: So now coming full circle and actually getting to win it.
Speaker 5: It's it's really.
Speaker 3: Cool for me personally obviously, you know, playing these high rollers,
Speaker 3: you know, you're battling against friends all the time, in
Speaker 3: this case close from back home, Jeremy, I was mostly
Speaker 3: playing foulhanded. What's it like playing with someone close like that,
Speaker 3: you know for such high stakes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 4: I think it really did a lot for my mindset
Speaker 4: to have one of my closest fands right next to me,
Speaker 4: because you know, throughout the final table we were able
Speaker 4: to kind of just say little things to each other
Speaker 4: and the kind of bring the temperature down and kind
Speaker 4: of calm us down a little bit, so like help
Speaker 4: me kind of stay grounded and focused.
Speaker 6: So that was really cool. That's something you like almost
Speaker 6: never get to do, especially at these stakes.
Speaker 4: So it was like really unique and it really helped
Speaker 4: with my mindset and kind of stay staying calm and
Speaker 4: grounded for someone.
Speaker 3: Like you, a family man, you know, to you nowadays,
Speaker 3: a little bit older, what's more important to you? Is it,
Speaker 3: you know, winning greens or trying to win bracelets, WPT titles,
Speaker 3: or is it the catch you just playing purely for
Speaker 3: winning the most money you can.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's both.
Speaker 4: I think I think that that's actually something where when
Speaker 4: I was younger, I thought kind I put place less important,
Speaker 4: less importance on winning like actually trophies and things like that,
Speaker 4: But as they've gotten older, it's it's pretty cool to
Speaker 4: kind of not only win money, but also like win
Speaker 4: the respect of people in your industry, especially your peers
Speaker 4: in the in the tournaments, and so it's, uh, it
Speaker 4: does definitely carry some weight with me, and you know,
Speaker 4: being respected. You know, the older I get, the more
Speaker 4: I kind of think that money is kind of overrated.
Speaker 4: Like obviously, this is my job and I'm here to
Speaker 4: make money, but things like respect and people you know,
Speaker 4: being happy for you is, uh is maybe even more
Speaker 4: important than the money. So I'm never gonna be a
Speaker 4: guy who's you know, just like very egotistical about like
Speaker 4: I'm winning all this trophies and all that, but like
Speaker 4: it is a part of it, and it's something that's
Speaker 4: very cool and a lot of people don't get to
Speaker 4: experience that in whatever career they have, So I.
Speaker 5: Really appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, super higher rollable title. Now you won the twenty
Speaker 3: five KPLO Championship back in March. You're sitting just outside
Speaker 3: the top town on the PGT leader board, so probably
Speaker 3: something you've probably lucked in for this free roll. But
Speaker 3: I want to know, as a high role player and
Speaker 3: you personally, how important is it that you know the
Speaker 3: PGT does have a million dollar free roll, does all
Speaker 3: these player bonuses and gives back to the guys that
Speaker 3: kind of make them too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the PGT is a ma the I
Speaker 6: was actually talking to Makiya Makita Bodzikuci about this and
Speaker 6: how the PGT does so much for the players, like
Speaker 6: more so than any other tour with just all these bonuses,
Speaker 6: Like every series there's a bonus, there's the.
Speaker 4: Free role, there's just the uh the year long leaderboard bonus.
Speaker 4: There's a very low rake. So it's a very it's
Speaker 4: a it's a it's a tour that really focuses on
Speaker 4: the players and gives us a lot of value and
Speaker 4: a lot of reason to show up. So the PGT
Speaker 4: is really kind of special to me. And it's especially
Speaker 4: cool because I was kind of involved in high stakes poker,
Speaker 4: like right at the start of this, uh at the
Speaker 4: Aria with with Poker Go and everything. So I saw this,
Speaker 4: saw this, I've seen this kind of grow out of
Speaker 4: just kind of a more casual, unofficial high Roller series.
Speaker 4: So it's really cool to you know, cement myself as
Speaker 4: like a big part of it by winning this. So
Speaker 4: it's been really nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah you heard, you heard there.
Speaker 5: It feels good.
Speaker 1: It feels good to finally finally get this this thing
Speaker 1: for the guy I mentioned the straight over straight that
Speaker 1: was ultimately the final hand, but there was a big
Speaker 1: bluff that Davies pulled three handed. He came into the
Speaker 1: final day four players remaining. They were all in the money.
Speaker 1: Davies was second in chips behind just one Parto Dominguez.
Speaker 1: The bluffy pulled was against Juan Parto. It was three handed,
Speaker 1: twenty thousand, forty thousand blinds. Parto made it ninety thousand
Speaker 1: on the button with king seven hearts. Dave's called out
Speaker 1: of the big blind with eight six off. It came
Speaker 1: four to four to three with two clubs and I
Speaker 1: believe one diamond. Davis checked. Parto bet sixty thousand. Davies
Speaker 1: made the call. Turn was the five of spades. Davey's
Speaker 1: leads this time for ninety thousand. Parto elects to kick
Speaker 1: it up to three hundred and fifteen thousand. Davies says no, no, no, sir,
Speaker 1: and makes it six hundred and fifty thousand. Parto can't
Speaker 1: really do anything there, even though he did have the
Speaker 1: best hand. He puts his hand into the muck and
Speaker 1: Davies scooped that pot to kind of really put himself
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: He played extremely well throughout the final table. There was
Speaker 1: kind of some some icm things going on at the
Speaker 1: beginning where both Leonard Maua and Jeremy Osmas were kind
Speaker 1: of on the shorter side. So at times when Davies
Speaker 1: had some bigger hands, you know, he had jacks, he
Speaker 1: had ace queen stuff like that. Out of the small
Speaker 1: blind facing raises from Juan Parto, who was the chip leader,
Speaker 1: so Davies, you know, not wanting to completely blow up
Speaker 1: his equity in the spot, given the two other shorter
Speaker 1: stacks at the table, you know, opting to play those
Speaker 1: a little bit more on the conservative side. But ultimately
Speaker 1: he was able to maneuver himself to heads up play,
Speaker 1: and then him and Juan Parto played two hands of
Speaker 1: heads up play before it was all over, and Davies
Speaker 1: was the three point two million dollar winner. Davies has
Speaker 1: now amassed more than twenty nine million dollars in live
Speaker 1: tournament earnings. This is according to the hendedmob dot com.
Speaker 1: He now sits twenty sixth on Poker's all time money list.
Speaker 1: This score move him ahead of Scott sever, Brian rast Antonio, Smndiri,
Speaker 1: Mike Watson, Danny Tang, and Dan Coleman. Some other big
Speaker 1: wins on Davies's career resume include twenty sixteen, he won
Speaker 1: the WPT Canadian Spring Championship. I mentioned that he won
Speaker 1: the PGTPLO Series twenty five K earlier this PGT season,
Speaker 1: and then, interestingly enough, in twenty nineteen, not a victory
Speaker 1: for Davies, he got second place in the EPT Barcelona
Speaker 1: fifty K, but second place to Jean Pardo, so those
Speaker 1: two have a little bit of history and have gone
Speaker 1: headhead before. As for the PGT leaderboard, Davies picks up
Speaker 1: six hundred points. There he moves to thirteen hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five points total, where he now sits thirteenth. Entering
Speaker 1: the next series for the PGT, which is the Poker Masters,
Speaker 1: Davies moves up ahead of Brian Kim and then he's
Speaker 1: just behind Kristin Foxin on the PGT leaderboard. Davies did
Speaker 1: wrap up the entire Super High Roller series with two cashes.
Speaker 1: He had, of course, the Super High Roller Bowl victory.
Speaker 1: He also finished fourth in event number six for fifty
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars. And then just quickly, I'll run through
Speaker 1: the other event winners and then I'll hit on some
Speaker 1: some notable stuff. So we have the first event twenty five.
Speaker 1: K Nolan had told them so quickly. I think Tim
Speaker 1: and I talked about this before. But interesting about these
Speaker 1: events as all part of the Super High Roller Bowl series,
Speaker 1: including the Super High Roller Bowl, all freeze outs, so
Speaker 1: you know, you can you can really understand how much
Speaker 1: players won or loss at this series because you don't
Speaker 1: have to factor in re entries, so you know that,
Speaker 1: you know, if somebody fired all these events they were
Speaker 1: in for X dollars and then they cashed for whatever
Speaker 1: they cashed for, you can do the quick math and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: this person was up this much money or this person
Speaker 1: was down this much money. Pretty easy to do there.
Speaker 1: So I kind of liked that, you know, just on
Speaker 1: the on the nerd side of things, but I would
Speaker 1: guess that, you know, re entries might have been favored.
Speaker 1: But we'll see what Tim says. We'll get his temperature
Speaker 1: on that. He was obviously over there in North Cyprus
Speaker 1: and probably talked to a lot of the players and
Speaker 1: felt them out in that regard. So once he gets back,
Speaker 1: once we get back on the horn together, we'll we'll
Speaker 1: hit on that a little bit more in depth. But
Speaker 1: back to the events. The first event of the series
Speaker 1: was a twenty five thousand dollars buying Nolan man hold
Speaker 1: Him eight Max event. Roman Haravic won it for three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen thousand dollars. There were thirty nine entries
Speaker 1: in this one. Santos Servanna, who won the w s
Speaker 1: P two hundred and fifty k Super high Roller this summer.
Speaker 1: He finished in second place there. Event number two was
Speaker 1: a twenty five thousand dollars buying Nolan man hold him
Speaker 1: seven max. The first three events were all twenty five ks.
Speaker 1: It was an eight max, then a seven max, then
Speaker 1: a six max. So this this second event seven max,
Speaker 1: thirty nine entries. Again same as the first event. Kwan
Speaker 1: Zau topped all comers and won three hundred and sixteen
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. He defeated Louis Spencer in heads up play,
Speaker 1: Lewis Spencer taking home two hundred and twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for second place. Ren Lynn finished in third four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty eight thousand dollars and then squeaking into the
Speaker 1: money with a min cash here in this one was
Speaker 1: none other than Jeremy Osmis, cashing in sixth place for
Speaker 1: sixty two thousand dollars. Event number three twenty five k
Speaker 1: Nolan mad hold them six max, forty one entries in
Speaker 1: this one, maher Noira, I probably completely butchered ou. In fact,
Speaker 1: I know I did, won it for three hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand dollars, defeating Adrian Matteos. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about him a lot when I run through these results,
Speaker 1: Mateo's finishing in second place for two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars there and then the buying gets upped.
Speaker 1: For event number four, fifty thousand dollars, Nolanman hold him
Speaker 1: a seven max thirty entries, Masashi o Ya takes it
Speaker 1: down five hundred and thirty five thousand dollars from him,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Osmis finishing second for three hundred and seventy three
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and then aj Mateos he just finished second
Speaker 1: in the event before he gets third place in this
Speaker 1: event for two hundred and sixty two thousand dollars. Also
Speaker 1: cashing in this one someone I feel like we haven't
Speaker 1: seen in a long time. Sirel Mitzi fifth place one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand dollars for Sirell. Event number five
Speaker 1: was the one hundred thousand dollars Nolaman hold him eight
Speaker 1: max thirty five entries there, prize pool over three point
Speaker 1: four million dollars. Maximvskarinski takes it down for one point
Speaker 1: two five million dollars. He topped Thomas Santurn and heads
Speaker 1: up play. Brian Kim got third, Adrian Mitteos third consecutive
Speaker 1: final table. He takes fourth for four hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars there, and then we move on to event
Speaker 1: number six, twenty five thousand dollars buying Nolan Matholdam Mystery
Speaker 1: Bounty six Max. Here it was Adrian Matteos topping phil
Speaker 1: Ivy in heads up play Mateos taking one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty two thousand dollars, and then I think he I
Speaker 1: think he won one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in bounties as well. Those don't count in the official
Speaker 1: prize pool results and they don't count towards PGT leaderboard points,
Speaker 1: but nice score there. So four consecutive final tables for
Speaker 1: Mateos he gets, he gets a second, a third, a fourth,
Speaker 1: he gets this win here he tops phil Ivy. This
Speaker 1: was the event that Seth Davies, the Super High Rollable champion,
Speaker 1: did finish fourth in and then Serell Mizzy got back
Speaker 1: in there sixth place for thirty two thousand dollars. We
Speaker 1: talked about the Super High rollerbl that was technically the
Speaker 1: seventh event on the schedule here, So moving on to
Speaker 1: event number eight, twenty five thousand dollars PLO. These final
Speaker 1: three events, Event eight, Event nine, and Event ten. We're
Speaker 1: All potlamit Omaha Tournaments. Event eight twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: buying PLO seven Max Martin dam takes it down for
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars. Then in event
Speaker 1: number nine, a fifty thousand dollars buy in PLO seven
Speaker 1: Max you Oni you Co mine In takes it down
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty six thousand dollars. Looks like he
Speaker 1: made a deal to some degree with Gurgo Naggy, Naggy
Speaker 1: taking four hundred and thirty one thousand dollars for a
Speaker 1: second place finish there. Naggi also cashed fourth for twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. So in the first PO event, novet
Speaker 1: number eight, the final four players are elected to do
Speaker 1: a save there to get the fourth place finisher there
Speaker 1: buying back. So so Naggi, you know, broke even on
Speaker 1: the first event cash pretty bring on that second PLO
Speaker 1: event there and then event number ten, the final event
Speaker 1: of the series, twenty five thousand dollars buying PLO Mystery Bounty.
Speaker 1: It was Richard Greicho winning for one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Jean Peter Yatman took second and Lataro Guerra
Speaker 1: took third place in that one. Just kind of looking
Speaker 1: at the stats from the series, so we talked about
Speaker 1: Seth Davies. He finished the series having earned the most
Speaker 1: PGT leaderboard points. He picked up six hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: one total. As I mentioned earlier, he moved up to
Speaker 1: thirteenth overall on the season leaderboard. Jeremy Osmas three cashes
Speaker 1: for him more than one point six million dollars one.
Speaker 1: He picks up six hundred and sixty one PGT leaderboard
Speaker 1: points and what that does for mister Osmas is it
Speaker 1: puts him in the number one spot of the PGT leaderboard.
Speaker 1: Ozmas came into this series in fifth place. He earns
Speaker 1: enough points to overtake Michael Rocco, who was the player
Speaker 1: who came into this series with the number one spot.
Speaker 1: Michael Rocco did not go over to Cyprus to play
Speaker 1: in this event. Jeremy Osmas takes the top spot. He
Speaker 1: moves up to twenty one and sixty points total. Ozmas
Speaker 1: has eighteen cases on the season this PGT more than
Speaker 1: five point one million dollars one but he hasn't won
Speaker 1: an event yet. Eighteen cashes but no wins yet. The
Speaker 1: next closest in terms of cases is just looking at
Speaker 1: these stats here, Oh, Daniel Legrandu. Of course he's got
Speaker 1: fifteen cashes on the PGT this season, but he's got
Speaker 1: two victories. You have Dylan Wiseman's got fourteen cashes. You
Speaker 1: got a few players here, David Coleman, Jesse Lonis, and
Speaker 1: Aramzobian all have thirteen cashes, and then there's some other
Speaker 1: people with some double digit cashes as well. But where
Speaker 1: Jeremy Osmas sits I would guess he has to be
Speaker 1: the favorite to top the leaderboard at the end of
Speaker 1: the season. Of course, there's probably I don't know what
Speaker 1: thirty forty events left that are going to be qualifying
Speaker 1: for the PGT. But given the given that Jeremy plays
Speaker 1: all the games, he lives in Las Vegas, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be playing all the stuff there. You know, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be starting with the Poker Masters, He'll play the PLO
Speaker 1: series that's coming up. I'm guessing he'll be in the
Speaker 1: Super High Rollable PLO that's also coming up in October.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be battling and all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, Jeremy's extremely talented as a poker player and
Speaker 1: and he's well versed. He can play all the different games.
Speaker 1: So with with that lead that he has, and you know,
Speaker 1: coupled with the momentum, the confidence that he has, all
Speaker 1: of that sort of stuff, it's it's it's hard to
Speaker 1: say that anyone else is the favorite. But of course,
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a lot to be had with
Speaker 1: with the PGT season, So we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: Tim did talk with Jeremy, and I know we spoke
Speaker 1: with him where I spoke with him on the last
Speaker 1: episode heading into this series. But now that he took
Speaker 1: the number one spot, Tim caught up with him over
Speaker 1: in Cyprus and here is that interview for you.
Speaker 3: Now, Jeremy, congratulations, that is your third biggest career score,
Speaker 3: one point two million. You came in the day as
Speaker 3: a short stack, lighted up a spot. I want to
Speaker 3: know when you were eliminated, is that a feeling of
Speaker 3: joy cashing for one point two million or more? Like, man,
Speaker 3: I'm so close to potentially one point nine and three
Speaker 3: point two million.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for me personally, like the biggest stressor is kind
Speaker 7: of the bubble right. Once that's burst, I feel like
Speaker 7: it's everyone's a little more laid back. I mean we're all,
Speaker 7: you know, not playing any different, but I personally feel
Speaker 7: less stressed because you know, you're making money and you're
Speaker 7: just kind of might make a lot more money.
Speaker 5: So that's kind of how I view.
Speaker 3: It, speaking of, you know, the amount of money that's
Speaker 3: up for grabs, You're sitting at the table with a
Speaker 3: close trying of your seth. How is that playing such
Speaker 3: like uba high steaks with a close friend.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's kind of just most people in
Speaker 7: high stakes now are you know, Like everyone was very
Speaker 7: good the final few people. Everyone was very very good.
Speaker 7: So it's not like I know his game, he knows
Speaker 7: my game. It's kind of like we're all playing a
Speaker 7: very solid, very strong game, so.
Speaker 5: None of that comes into play.
Speaker 7: I think we've just played so much poker that it
Speaker 7: doesn't really you don't think about it much, like if
Speaker 7: he busts me, if I bust him, whatever, Like we
Speaker 7: just take it hand by hand and just kind of
Speaker 7: play your hand. You know, we've just done it so long.
Speaker 7: I don't think about like busting him or him busting me.
Speaker 7: It's kind of like, oh, this hand, I think I
Speaker 7: should do this, you know.
Speaker 5: Type of thing.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about your twenty twenty four You know,
Speaker 3: you second place in the one hundred k of the
Speaker 3: World Series, cashing the two fifty k, and now you've
Speaker 3: third place in this What's what's the secret to your
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four year of poker?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I mean maybe I put a little less emphasis on solver,
Speaker 7: following the solver at all costs and focusing on some
Speaker 7: other dynamics going on, especially at the World Series where
Speaker 7: there's weaker players.
Speaker 5: That's a very big deal. I think that's that's part
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 7: Surely I've ran very well, you know, I mean I
Speaker 7: haven't won anything, as people like to point out, like
Speaker 7: maybe you.
Speaker 5: Or Jeff Platt, but whatever.
Speaker 7: You know, there's a lot of value in getting second
Speaker 7: and third and fourth, and if you try to win more,
Speaker 7: you get fifth more. So I'm trying to make the
Speaker 7: most money. I cannot win the most titles I can win,
Speaker 7: so you know, that's just kind of how I look
Speaker 7: at it. But it's just been a very fortunate year.
Speaker 7: The biggest heater I've ever been on I would say,
Speaker 7: without a.
Speaker 3: Doubt I was gonna ask that about that, you know,
Speaker 3: titles versus money, you know, I think I mentioned on
Speaker 3: Twitter the other day, but this is you know, you know,
Speaker 3: iteen cash this season the PGT no wins yet. But
Speaker 3: is that thought process you know of I just want
Speaker 3: to win the most money something that as an older
Speaker 3: you know, y're older now have a family. Is that
Speaker 3: thinking or is it just you've always been like that.
Speaker 5: I think I've always been like that.
Speaker 7: I mean, as a professional poker player, my number one
Speaker 7: goal is to make the most money I can. And
Speaker 7: along the way I picked up lots of titles. I
Speaker 7: don't know how many PGT titles I have. And then
Speaker 7: you know, I have six bracelets. So you will when
Speaker 7: you put yourself there, you're just going to win, you know.
Speaker 5: And I haven't done it this year.
Speaker 7: But if you look at how many final tables it's been,
Speaker 7: it's not like it's you know, fifty and like I'm
Speaker 7: playing doing something wrong. I don't think, you know, maybe
Speaker 7: there's times to look at your game and say, like, come,
Speaker 7: maybe I'm being too passive here and just kind of
Speaker 7: trying to ladder up a little too much. You could
Speaker 7: definitely be doing something like that. But I think it's
Speaker 7: a lot of variants. I mean two years ago I
Speaker 7: won like I think ten tournaments or something something absurd,
Speaker 7: you know. So it's just in a handful of live tournaments.
Speaker 7: There's just a lot of variants, a lot of volatility,
Speaker 7: and you know, I feel like the wins will come.
Speaker 7: I'm glad I, like I said, I have some already,
Speaker 7: because otherwise I would be pushing more to you know,
Speaker 7: wish I had won more or had more titles. But
Speaker 7: at this point, it's, yeah, just make the most money
Speaker 7: I can.
Speaker 3: Let's bring it back to the PGT. You're now number
Speaker 3: one on the PGT leaderboard. We've got three hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty five points ahead of Michael Rocker. How important is
Speaker 3: it to you to first of all, win potentially win
Speaker 3: finished on top of the PGT leader board, especially in
Speaker 3: like a series you play nearly every.
Speaker 5: Even Yeah, it's it's important to me.
Speaker 7: I mean I going into the year, I feel like
Speaker 7: I am one of the favorites to win the PGT
Speaker 7: leaderboard without a doubt. I live in Vegas, play every series,
Speaker 7: I play PLO, I play mix, I go hard at
Speaker 7: the World Series, so I'm definitely one of the top guys,
Speaker 7: you know, so it would mean a lot, you know,
Speaker 7: and there's extra fifty k, which is amazing. A lot
Speaker 7: of most places give you nothing for leaderboards, so I
Speaker 7: think that's pretty cool. So yeah, it's something that I
Speaker 7: think about, you know, going into the year and throughout
Speaker 7: the year, and.
Speaker 5: Partially made this trip to for that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: If this was a PGT thing, I may or may
Speaker 5: not have even come. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like there's now that you're leading your head?
Speaker 3: Is there some added pressure for you to hold that spot.
Speaker 3: We've probably got maybe thirty or forty events remaining in the.
Speaker 7: Not really, you just kind of can only do so much,
Speaker 7: you know. You just take it day by day, hand
Speaker 7: hand by hand, tournament by tournament. It's not like I'm
Speaker 7: paranoid someone catching me. They might, you know, and if
Speaker 7: it happens, it happens. I'm just gonna keep playing how
Speaker 7: I play and just try to play my best and
Speaker 7: hopefully I can just stay on that top spot.
Speaker 1: So that was Jeremy Osmas. I mean, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: gunning for it. He's going to be trying to win
Speaker 1: that PGT player of the Year title. It does come
Speaker 1: with a fifty thousand dollars bonus, and then you would
Speaker 1: enter into the PGT Championship million dollar free roll with
Speaker 1: the most chips, so he'd be in a good position
Speaker 1: there set himself up as good as possible. But again,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, still plenty of poker left to be
Speaker 1: played on the PGT. It all starts in September. September
Speaker 1: tenth or eleventh, I think it's tenth for the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four Poker Masters. The series starts the tenth. Streaming
Speaker 1: starts on the eleventh. We'll be streaming every single day,
Speaker 1: two streams per day starting on the eleventh, I believe,
Speaker 1: doing the final table of whatever you know event took
Speaker 1: place the prior day, and then play down. But then
Speaker 1: after the final table is done, a couple hours after
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's around seven thirty or so Vegas time.
Speaker 1: Don't don't hold me to that number or that time,
Speaker 1: but he'll be read around then as we'll pick up
Speaker 1: day one coverage of the next event that's happening. Remco
Speaker 1: and I plan to be on the call for commentary
Speaker 1: and we'll take we'll take that one down to a
Speaker 1: final table, So something like fifteen streams or something we're
Speaker 1: doing from Poker Mass, so tons of poker streaming to
Speaker 1: come from Poker Ghro. So that's that's really cool, and
Speaker 1: I'm certainly excited to be in the booth alongside my
Speaker 1: guy Remco and call the action for all of these
Speaker 1: highly competitive, highly talented super elite players. We touched on
Speaker 1: ad Matteos and all those results that he had. He
Speaker 1: finished this series with four cashes. He had that victory
Speaker 1: cast for just over one million and seventy five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: That does not include the believe again, it was one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five thousand dollars that he won in
Speaker 1: mystery bounties. But he moves up to six on the
Speaker 1: PGT leaderboard.
Speaker 5: He has one.
Speaker 1: Thousand, five and sixty eight points total, so he's just
Speaker 1: behind Daniel Legrand who's in fifth place. He moves ahead
Speaker 1: of a Ramzobian who was in seventh place. Mateos has
Speaker 1: one victory on the PGT this season. Ten cashes, more
Speaker 1: than two point six million dollars. One some other players
Speaker 1: who had multiple cashes over at Super high Roller series
Speaker 1: you had. Maxim Askarinsky had two cashes. Leonard Mahak, Kwanzaut
Speaker 1: and Gurgo Nagy all had two cashes. Sorell Mitzi had
Speaker 1: two cashes. Sam Greenwood had two cases as well, So
Speaker 1: you know, pretty good series overall. I'll be interested to
Speaker 1: hear Tim's take when he, you know, gets back over
Speaker 1: here and you know, gets gets all settled in and
Speaker 1: we'll hop on another pod. I think we're going to
Speaker 1: be trying to do some different style podcasts during the
Speaker 1: Poker Masters that those are in the planning stages right now,
Speaker 1: so hopefully we can delivered to you guys some fun
Speaker 1: stuff for that one. But other than that, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's all I got for you, you know, short one,
Speaker 1: but hopefully you consider it pretty sweet. Just want to
Speaker 1: remind everyone again this Poker gro WSP main event seat
Speaker 1: giveaway the final drawing for the third and final seat
Speaker 1: to next year's wspmin event. It comes with I think
Speaker 1: it's four nights at Aria and you also get a
