I do want to do a little special edition community cards. Okay,
so let's hit the jingle Tim. We'll do his dance
and then I'll come him back and we'll do this thing.
Speaker 3: Attention, attention, good morning, good afternoon, and good evenings to
the Poker Radio audience near and far. It is now
time for a brand spanking, spiffy and new shout out
to some of our most loyal listeners who likely got
a bit too luck on the way to the spotlight.
You're listening to the number one poker show in the land,
and it's time for a new edition of the Poker
Go Podcast Community Cards.
Speaker 1: All righty, I honestly don't even know if you actually
dance like to the music.
Speaker 2: I got no idea. Rich has a fun time doing
whatever he wants to do with that little, uh little
dance set in for him.
Speaker 1: So I thought today, you know, I've been neglecting the
podcast email inbox, so I might as well get on
in there.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So I got on in there, and I just want to,
you know, go through some of the stuff that we have.
I remember we did ask for people to send in
some photos and stuff of their collectibles. Yes, so hopefully
if Rich is up to a producer, Rich shout out.
We don't don't mean to make you do more work,
but I'm about to make you do more work. We're
going to show things on the side on the screen,
but there's also a couple of ones that are just
you know, for some messages. We got Mark b. He's
said this before the WSP. Sorry Mark, I'm just getting
to it now because I'm an idiot and I forgot.
He said, the app feels like it's going to be
a massive improvement, shout out massive, massive over Bravo, and
definitely make things much simpler for myself as a non
US player. Anyway, great to have you back the hype
or the WSP starts with the Poker Go pod. He
also asked about hats this year. Yes, we got him.
Eventually we got him, and he said he'll be out
in late June. Also, I just want to say that
if if Rich is getting mad that we're burying the lead,
because we're doing this first. I want to give back
to the community first before we get into the news.
So whatever, all right, Mark, So if we got hats,
then great, you'll have to hit us with a password,
but Tim is not letting us reserve any so none.
I mean, you just got to try and get one,
and I think we gave out like seven today. Michael
L big fan of the pod, two time investor in DPMC.
He's also an investor in DPMD. He now he sent
them something funny. This was ahead of the fantasy draft,
he said. I was listening to the latest episode. Not
long after the twenty five K fantasy was mentioned. I
passed John Reordan Plumbing and he sent a picture of
John Reordan Plumbing.
Speaker 2: He has two jobs.
Speaker 1: He's a Pok player, No wonder, he's got so much money.
Plus hot. Yeah, it's absolutely hot. So John Riordan Plumbing
shout out to them. No free ads, but you know,
if they're in their area, let's go. I mean, uh,
Michael already added I'm not sure if it's a sign
that you should get him, or that he'll play like shit, shit,
that's very good, right, that's very good, or that he's
destined to make infinite flushes. I mean, Michaels has got it.
He's got it, He's got it. Trevor ve So he
sent in a photo of a three D printed pull
apart magnet Oreo dealer chip for home games, obviously Teddy
KGB themed from around Right. That's cool, Trevor, I need
you know how to get my hands on Mark k
aka Grateful Mouse. Here's a photo of my favorite collectible
item that I've attained over the years. I have lots
of good things. This is probably the best one. So
he won it at an auction. It went to that
went to charity for Camp Sunshine up in Maine. That's
kind of my neck of the words. Phil Phil Locke
excuse me, wore this hoodie during the Guinness Book of
World Records longest session run, which I believe he did
about Yeah, he signed it, so did Jennifer Tilley. He
wears it all the time, does Mark. He put a
couple patches on it. He shared it with us, so
thank you for that. Mark. We got Ryan, who said
he's been a loyal listener for years. He got a
hat a couple of years ago from Donnie at the
South Point meetup over that it was a lot of fun.
Last year he got the hat family pot. This year,
though he spent the first week at the WSP. He
came by. He said he watched us on the podcast
for a while without you what I mean.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was maybe when we did one out there
on the floor.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to wonder if I need to file
for like a restrainer, a stalker, like what is this?
Speaker 4: Friends?
Speaker 1: Our friends? Yeah, mister Ryan over here, just just creeping
on us. He said that during a mad break rush
in the hallway, tim was swimming upstream when he and
I came upon each other. You looked up and said
nice hat to him. He had on last year's hat
while playing the event, and he also said, by the way,
I cashed good luck hat on it caught Bryan a
little bit by surprise, and he said, Timmy back, do
you remember this?
Speaker 2: I remember saying so, I remember walking by someone saying
nice hat, but I kept going. I think I was
gonna rush against somebody.
Speaker 1: So he yelled Timmy, So you are now Timmy?
Speaker 2: All right? I mean I like Timmy.
Speaker 1: Jake s said that he has a collectible item at
the twenty ten Wsop. He actually is the exact date
June twelfth, twenty ten. Hey, he had a number of
top names in poker, signed a brand new Binion Horseshoe hat.
He purchased the hat at the Horseshoe the day before.
Some of the names are difficult to make out on here,
but he has names for Doyle Bruns, and Todd Bruns
and Mike Sexton, Mike Madisow, Phil Helmy with Daniel Legrowney,
Jennifer Harmon, Ellie Elezra, Dennis Phillips, Eric Linger, and Tom Dwan,
Sammy Farha. And then he also put in the email
that this one might have lowered the value or these
two names Chris Ferguson and Howard Letter are also on
the hat. So shout out to Jake s for that hat.
That looks pretty pretty sweet. And that's that's I mean,
that's truly one of a one of a kind item.
And then John Michael can't always watch and listen to
the pod when it drops. I just got through today's.
This was a couple of days ago, and I'm loving it.
My name is John Michael, but a lot of my
friends call me Jam. When Dylan says it, he sounds
like he's saying jam Remember, yes, yes, yes, I remember this.
Come to think of it, kind of sounds that way.
A lot of people say it. It's really cool to
make the pod again. Dylan is the real star here though.
Thank you again, Tim for all that you do. Shout
out to you, buddy, Timmy. I want to make sure
and drop you a line and say definitely don't send
me a hat if it came to that. I've got
one now, So there you go. John Michael aka jam
New nicknamed all Right, let's get into the real nitty
gritty of it. I'm sure producer Rich is pretty pissed
that we just to it does not matter now, he listen.
It's I always give the time right a little bit earlier.
We want to try and get out early. You got
some birthday party thing, you got to be a dad tomorrow,
eleven thirty eight pm is the time right now. Rich
is usually up at five am editing the pod. So
you know, we're just all over the place trying to
get this.
Speaker 2: Out sometimes, you guys, because sometimes you forget. I don't
I don't put in the video. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I told you the other day that I don't like
to go to sleep until it's up. But if I
don't do that, it's an extraly forty minutes to my day,
and I have been gambling and going to sleep, and
then of course this one time it didn't go through.
I think, honestly think my internet went out in the
middle of the night. That's what happened because there was
some other stuff that I was like, Oh, I guess
the internemus went out, But okay, Phil Sternheimer winning the
ten K PLO eight Championship. He topped a field of
three hundred and eighty six entries to win seven hundred
and sixty three thousand dollars. He beat Bruno Firth in
heads up play, denying Firth a second gold bracelet of
the series. I'm curious to know as a quick aside,
and you don't have to look, seth, I'm just thinking
out loud, but what did Firth win? First? What I mean,
what was his first event that he won? Was in
the fifteen This is the mixed Omaha? Is that what
he wont?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't remember what he won, look up what
he won. But what I'm thinking is that Benny Glauser, right,
he won two fifteen hundred dollars bracelets? Okay, what did
Firth win?
Speaker 2: Firth one the five kpo.
Speaker 1: Okay, so a five K PLO plus a second place
in a ten k like, how would that rate poy
ranking compared to any Glausser winning two fifteen hundred dollars bracelets?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Which one is worth more points? I would guess it's
Bruno Firth right, because it's two fifteen hundreds I think
versus the first and a five a second the ten kN.
Speaker 2: The old points system first used to be double second
in points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't you get like a whole bunch of more
points like based on buying.
Speaker 2: I think that was changing now, but I've really studied it.
Side note on Bruno Firth. Between he's first and his second,
he went to the win and won to twenty two
hundred potlamon Omahavan one hundred and fifty k, so of course,
just a plo magician over here.
Speaker 1: Sternheimer was extremely emotional, both immediately in victory and then
also afterwards. He doubled up at one point during heads
up play and he kind of started, I mean, he
led a lot of emotion, was flexing like yelling, went around,
gave a whole bunch of high fives and hugs to
his fans. On Israel I was standing at the table
and I was like, well, he didn't win, because I
knew that for that had more chips, but he kind
of was acting. It seemed like he might have thought
that he won. I don't think that he did, but
it had that type of emotion. Got it. He gets
back down. They go back and forth for a while longer.
Eventually Sternheimer steals the deal, another big, you know, emotional eruption.
This time he knew he won it, and he goes over.
He hugs everyone on his rail, and then he called
his family. He's like holding the bracelet over the phone
and started crying. So you could definitely tell how much
this meant to Phil Sternheimer. He's been in the game
for a couple decades now, playing the absolute highest stakes
and battling with some of the best, but until this point,
a bracelet has eluded him. And afterwards he was kind
enough to sit down and do an interview. So let's
hear from Phil Sternheimer and then we'll come on back
and we'll talk more about it.
Speaker 6: As I was walking to the tournament today, I was
thinking to myself, I probably never wanted anything as bad
as this one, and I was trying not to indulge
in those thoughts because I find these kind of what
if what if you win? What if you don't win
to be distracting, But it means the world. You know,
you kind of know that at the end, you know
there's so much luck involved and all you can do
is to make the right decisions. But to have something
really tangible to show after all these years of trying,
it just feels just unbelievably. I quit my job two
years ago, and I've been studying the game a lot,
I would say, in the last six months, more than
ever before. And you know, what you realize about poker
then the more time you spend on is how little
you actually know. So I think I'm a much better
player this year than last year, and if I hadn't
won one, I felt I was due this year. But
I know a lot of players that are as good
or if not better than me that I've been playing
for way longer than that at that level and still
haven't won a bracelet. So I wouldn't say overdo, but
maybe just do. I talk to my wife first. We'd
sort of agreed that this might be my last sort
of world series where I come out for several weeks,
because you know, it is a huge sacrifice. I equip
my job primarily to spend more time with the family,
so it's kind of counterintuitive to be here for five
six weeks away from them. But you know, for me,
This is just the most amazing time of the year
to be able to play and compete at all different
buying levels in all different formats of poker, which as
you know, I don't just play one game. I play
all the games or aspire to, you know, surrounded by
people that I really like. It's just a very special time.
I think at the ten K level, most of the
fields are really really tough. It's sort of ironic because
I'm a planner, so I'd mapped out my entire schedule
and excel, including plan breaks, and the PLOW eight was
actually supposed to be an event that I skip to
take a break, so you know, it's just the irony
that maybe and I also wouldn't have said that it's
necessarily my best. I do think the field in the
PLO eight has been slightly weaker than in other ten k's.
You just have a lot of people that maybe play
PLO that are sort of popping in. But of course
the game actually plays quite differently, so that's just kind
of the way it works.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 6: It is a really if you know, and on the
one hand, I try to focus on on on inputs
and on decisions things that I can control and I
tell myself the outcomes will ultimately come, but of course
if you come up short a couple of times. You know,
my wife is half jokingly asking, you know, when are
you going to bring home like, you know, like a
big championship trophy or like a bracelet, you know. And
I am also very outcome oriented.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: We had a thing in my previous job where you
also deal with a lot of uncertainty and incompeted information,
and it was just be right. Yeah, I know, like
you know, there's a lot of luck and stuff and
complexity and things you don't know, but just be right.
And you know, I feel like the mindset of a
champion is also to sort of bring it home. So
that's kind of that I caught tom be in poker,
and that there's so many things you can control, but
then you also do want to ultimately have sort of
the physical good at the end. And this is just
great that for this event. You know, those two things
have married between playing well, making good decisions, and having
the outcome in your favor, you know, And the bracelet
is I mean, it's nice. The respect of your peers
is not necessarily linked to bracelets. I had someone from
my sort of study group come up to me yesterday.
He shaw remain unnamed, and he was asking, half jokingly,
why didn't you learn how to play poker? You know,
And it was actually a wonderfully backhanded compliment, you know.
And so everybody knows that some guy can show up
play as their first event and win a bracelet. You
have unreal players, you know, Chinos on my fantasy team
has never won a bracelet. You know, I could go
down the list. I think all of these people are
on the same level. And at the end, it's just
really fine margins that make a difference. You know, that
rivicard comes differently, comes a you know, straight or a
flush card for Bruno, you know, and he has a
massive chip lead pretty much and has me dead. So
it's it's the tournato of the card that can make
all the difference. But that shouldn't change whether or not
a player is respected. I think it's just been a
crazy stretch this since I got here. I played six tournaments.
I cash at ten tournaments. I cashed in six a
final table two. I got really really close on a
dealer's choice where I had a chip lead. I was
all in with aces against Kings to go heads up
with a chip lead that didn't work out. But it's
just somehow I just didn't let it sort of affect
me as much as in the past. So it's just
I had this serenity in terms of just take the outcome,
whatever it might be, and just play as best as
I can. So even if I airball all the remaining events,
you know, this is just a very special period in
my life that I'll always remember.
Speaker 1: All Right. That was Phil Sternheimer. Very thoughtful, intevert interviewed,
you know, very insightful. You can definitely tell how much
winning a gold bracelet means to him, and you know,
evidence by the emotion that he showed in the wake
of his win, combined with the words that he relayed
in that interview, you know, you can definitely tell that
Sternheimer has been like it's been on his mind quite
a bit, that he that he really wants to win.
And also cool that you heard him say that this
was going to likely be the last full summer for him.
You know, him and his wife basically agreed that like
this would be the last full summer, not that he
wouldn't come out in future summers. Yes, but just probably
smaller stints, maybe do one or two trips something like that,
you know, as opposed to to staying out here for
the whole seven weeks. So cool to kind of like
in that, like last Hurrah, last full Hurrah, he's able
to rip off a bracelet. He moved to fifth on
the PGT leaderboard, but you said now sixth is that we're.
Speaker 2: Going to talk about the next event. That's kind to
move him down a bit.
Speaker 1: That's because as show, yeah got it, okay, cool, Well,
still near the top, which is cool to see. I
think he'll be someone who probablytize to compete in the
top forty and get into that championship, I would guess.
I mean, I think Phil really likes the PGT. I
think he loves the battle in the studio. Now, he
might not show up for all of the No Limits series,
but he's certainly always in there blasting in the mixed
game stuff. Maybe he'll get in there for the PLO
stuff as well. There's still plenty of PGT qualifying events
here at the World Series of Poker, so a bunch
of opportunities for Phil Sternheimer to get more points and
ultimately finish in the top forty so he can then
qualify for the PGT million dollars Championship. So great work
by Phil. More history being made. You know, he had
that really good night with Kunan Shulman. You know, Sternheimer,
I think is obviously a very deserving winner, a great winner,
one of the absolute nicest guys in poker. He's always
been super nice, and it's always I don't know, it's
kind of weird at first when somebody is you know,
I guess, like you you know, Phil is playing like
two K, four K, three K, six K, like these massive,
massive games. Yet he's just a regular nice guy. Which
not not that you shouldn't expect that from people, but
you know, there's a lot of people in poker that
are not like that. You know, they kind of just
wouldn't care to give you the time of day. But
Phil is the complete opposite, and you absolutely love to
see it. Another nice guy, Jo Vieira, Yes one thing, Yes,
won the one hundred k noloud hold him high Roller.
This guy is one of the absolute best in the world,
the best to ever do it. Two million, six hundred
and forty nine thousand dollars for Vieira. He topped a
field of one hundred and three entries a pretty long
heads up battle with aram Aganion. They swung the chip
lead back and forth. They battled it out, but it
was a lot of fun to watch. That one did
stream on Poker Roo on the poker ro YouTube channel,
so if you missed it, highly encourage you to catch
the replay. Andrew Lucky Chewy Licktenburger was at this final table.
Isaac Hackson was at this final table. Thomas Boyven was
at this final table. I mean it was. It was
a stacked event, of course, stacked final table. We talked
on the last episode about how Ivy blew it. You know,
he just don't stopped by. Yeah, he just absolutely blew it.
Speaker 2: Blew it.
Speaker 1: But what are you gonna do? Fourth bracelet for jau
Vieira just a freaking crusher. What else is he won?
Speaker 2: His three braces are in massive, massive events though for
five k no lemonhold Max extended seven hundred and sixty
k there that was in twenty nineteen. Twenty twenty two
won the fifty K high rollerut at the World Series
for one point four million, and then twenty twenty three
online he won the twenty five KGG millions seven hundred
and seventy one k. But his last six months in
poker very very incredible. WS TOB Paradise in December, finished
runner up in the Trent Main event for two point
six million.
Speaker 1: Run up to Alex Foxham correct.
Speaker 2: Then a couple of months ago try and Jju he
won one hundred and fifty k to Lemon hold him
for four point six million. You throwing this score of
two point six million. He's just swimming in millions the
last six months. He's absolutely on a massive heater right now,
crushing and uh, you know, we talk about people running
hard and maybe winning a second brace of getting that
run to kind of accumulate result after a result. I
think we have to put Ja Viera in that group
with you know, three quarters of the World Series ago.
Speaker 5: Jojo, We were just saying that what an absolute battle.
What did it take to get this done?
Speaker 4: Get really lucky to start indoor, a lot of adversity
and just just stay in the stay in presence, they
focus and.
Speaker 1: Just do your best.
Speaker 5: Yesterday late yesterday you got a big bluff through against
phil Ivy. Without that getting through, you aren't here right now?
Does that make that one of the most important plays
of your career.
Speaker 4: It was one of them. Yeah, if it doesn't fold,
I'm obviously not here. But I can only control what
I do if I have a S nine o' club.
Fiel looks like a genie, is like he has so
multiple times, so I think people should give him a break.
And I'm just happy that that the river came and
I was managed to blow them off.
Speaker 5: We've always admired the way you've handled yourself. How do
you do it? How do you handle all of the
swings that a tournament like this gives you.
Speaker 4: It's it's important not to be entitled, you know, And
I'm entitled where I started, where I am. It's just
been such a long way that if I just feel
entitled that I win one point seven instead of what
two point six? What a fucking break would I do?
Just Mom and Dad brings me a well older sister
as well. They just kept me in check, and I
do you know how blessed I am, And so I
just keep it in perspective. It could have gone my way,
could have got on, but I'm played really well.
Speaker 5: So I'm just happy to win my way and finally,
right before I hand this to you. This is indeed
bracelet number four comes at the highest by level out
of all of your bracelets. Does it mean the most?
Speaker 4: I think the first one always means a little bit
the most. But this is amazing. Every day that you
get up and have the chance to be doing this
on this stage with this amazing people just feels great.
So I'm just very happy that I want this one
because it's the day one. It's the one that I mean,
I'm about to savor to enjoy. So yeah, it's it's
all of them are a really good.
Speaker 1: Here Where does it put him on the PGT leaderboard?
Speaker 2: So that is his second cash I believe for the season.
You know doesn't play our events that often. Sorry, fourth
cash of the season. He's in twenty sixth place. Okay,
but the biggest movie is you know you touched on
Phil Sternheim. We're gonna look at a Lucky Chewy runner
up to Jason Kuhne final table in this event. He
is now fourth on the PGT leader board. He's also
the ninth player eclipse a thousand points, so top nine
players all with a thousand points. Nick Schulman's still on top,
but he can he knocked off.
Speaker 1: Of course, anyone give me in this event we're going
to talk about so really by.
Speaker 2: That guy right there, mister Daniel and mister d X.
Speaker 1: You think he still has this jersey like he should?
He should buzz out the jerseys again.
Speaker 2: I think on a vlog he's shown I think you
know where in his old house he had that closet
where he had all these weight equipment. That's where he
had all these jerseys. So I'm assuming in this new
house with more rooms, he has a dedicated room that
has all he's you know.
Speaker 1: Have you seen his gym?
Speaker 2: I'm I am so. I think my gym is like
a pretty incredible Gym's like nothing coned.
Speaker 1: His is a closet. His gym looks like like sometimes
when I see the Rocks gym, Yeah, that looks like
Daniel's jym, Like, what the hell is happening? I think,
how big is this?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm most jealous about in his gym
because like he has a lot of equipment. I don't
if I had Daniel's money, I probably wouldn't have the
same gym. But I like that you can open those doors,
the sliding doors out and you can see the pool.
You can see you know, the entire community. That's what
I love the most. That's what I have the most
jealousy of it, because i work out with my garage
door up and I'm just looking at like a bit
of the street cars coming by.
Speaker 1: I work out with my garage draw up too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't have as much. I didn't have the
million dollar view as they say Daniel has. I have
more of the you know, six hundred thousand dollars view.
Speaker 1: Damn you got it like that, Jesus.
Speaker 2: I can see some mountains.
Speaker 1: That's which they pay you. What the first thing, you, buddy,
that's not true.
Speaker 2: I know real you get for commentary, clear and.
Speaker 1: Get a whole ton of money. I'm just fucking rolling
in it, bro, I'm just absolutely rolling. I'm out here
begging to do more commentary so I can pay the bills.
Speaker 2: New hats every day somebody has. He can put them
on all.
Speaker 1: Company hats that like this one. We go to the
store and we steal them.
Speaker 2: Okay, this hot at least.
Speaker 1: Believing it here until July. I'm sorry, all right, sorry.
Speaking of Daniel on the Grand new he's leading the
ten K limit holding or he was he. I mean,
he had a bunch of chips, so he's he's part
to check. One hundred and eighteen entries in this one.
Eighteen were in the money two hundred and eighty two
thousand dollars for first place. We're getting a lot of
clapping over there. Does that mean we have a winner
or just a big pot?
Speaker 2: Big pot. I'm gonna say big pot.
Speaker 1: Twelve remain still twelve.
Speaker 2: Hold, we still have twelve to grand Who's dropped out
of the lad He's fifth in chips right now. Picked
a blomb chip later. Another guy, little nemesis of Doniel
mgarann who Ryan Vanbreaker If you have been following the
World Series, defeated Daniel and m'grano heads up to win
his second bracelet.
Speaker 1: All three of them are at the same Uh yeah, yeah,
it should be kind of crazy, really cool, yes, file
Tayblor together.
Speaker 2: Yep, throwing out Anthony Zina Zeno, Ian John Scott Ballman
chasing a second bracelet.
Speaker 1: This guy David Lieberman, Yeah, I'd never seen him before
in my life. Absolute wild card. Wow, chaos out there
with this guy. He busted wasp before the money. He
just kept checking dark and calling and how you supposed
to play them. It was like the board was like
ace ace and then like a middle cart and a deuce. Okay,
Wall said, I think he had like ace eight and
the guy had a deuce Jack deuce. I don't I
don't know. I don't even know how he got in
the hand with Jack deuce. But he was just check
calling dark and then rivet to Jack.
Speaker 2: Okay, it sounds like.
Speaker 1: Scott Bowman is also still in this event. He won
the two K Nolan mad Holdham already at this World series. Broker,
we have had a lot of sweats for double bracelets. Yeah,
in this event alone, we have Ryan Bambrick, we have
Scott Bowman that could potentially win a second bracelet this summer,
joining Benny Glasser. With that achievement, I would like Jeremy
Osmas to win, because you know he's on our fantasy team.
That would be excellent if Jeremy could spin it up
over there. He's saw me at one point when they
got in the money. He came over. He said, another
min cash for the team, Thanks buddy, that's not what
we want here. One hundred and forty one dollars just
min cash in your way. This is incredible. Do you
think he can min cash his way to five hundred points?
I don't think so. Okay, well me, no, he couldn't. Yeah,
they need to cash like fifty events, right kind of thing.
If you min cashed, you could probably get to two
fifty or three hundred if you min cashed like a
literally every event. Yeah, I just don't. I don't think
that it could happen, but you know, you never know.

Gros Shop if you use the promo code Dad twenty
twenty five, So check that out shop dot poker go
dot com tried to kind of hold off on talking
about this one to see if we could get a winner,
but we haven't gotten a winner. The fifteen horse is
down to two Andre Ziggloff versus Thomas Taylor. Ziggle Off
won this event in like twenty nineteen something like that,
so obviously knows his way around a horse. Thomas Taylor
was on my list for Fantasy. We ultimately didn't draft him,
but looking like he's going to have a very very
nice score. Could be his first ofsf go bracelet has well.
Marcel vonk scored third place in this one, and then
after he busted, asked me for a podcast had hey
the password. It's just incredible stuff, the old nine two
thousand dollars podcast app.
Speaker 2: If he had aust earlier, he would still be playing
right now, I'll tell him.
Speaker 1: Not okay, okay, yeah that's true. But thank you Marcel
for thank you, you know, chatting it up for a
little bit there, getting a hat better luck in the
next tournament. Maybe that's the ten k horse, and you
can just go on and rip off that one. So
Ziggloff and Taylor are playing for one hundred and ninety
eight thousand dollars up top. They're guaranteed one hundred and
thirty two thousand dollars. Linda Johnson busted in tenth, Alex
Livingson busted in fifteenth, Nico Milgram busted in sixteenth, And
I saw some of his Instagram stories. He ran two
big bluffs, one of which I saw he had ten high.
It did not work and limit hold him. He said
on his Instagram story that he ran two bluffs, he
was one hundred percent sure that both would work, and
neither of them work. So that's that's how Nico's Nico's
day went. Ari Angeles seventeenth, Lajerry off in eighteenth. Blosh
is putting together a decent resume. He won that twenty
five K six max and then he had a deep
run here eighteenth in the fifteen hundred dollars horse, huge
field over in that five K seniors high roller. Yesterday,
they yesterday, they already beat the record the field size
from the year before. Last year it was six 't eighty.
Yesterday they got seven hundred and twenty or something like that.
They got over eight hundred total, eight oh one, which
is pretty pretty crazy. They are down to what how
many do we know how many other down to it.
Speaker 2: And one? Yeah there down to.
Speaker 1: Ramana at Parla Sorry if I butchered that name, but
current chip leader. It looks like per Pokernews dot com.
David Stam doing well. Friend of the podcast, David O.
dB Baker is over there with the old guys doing it.
THEO Yorgan, THEO Jorgan's in his back, He's freaking back.
That's awesome. You know who else was back today? We
should have talked about Joe Cassidy. How about he put
the ten ka Liman Hooldham had boosted Jay Joe Cassidy.
I mean, what in the world this is going on
in that tournament? Just simply incredible stuff, absolutely incredible stuff.
We got John Esposito over in this senior's high roll,
or Daniel Lowry who was wearing a funky ass aluminum
foil thing on his head look like an alien over.
Speaker 2: There, Mike Mattis, We got Billy back. So we got
Scotlan scot If anyone knows that name.
Speaker 1: Cal, I'll give you a gamble. I'll give you a gamble.
I mean, absolutely golden moment history. Scott freaking Lazarre.
Speaker 2: If you want to make producer Rich work a bit more, well,
he would insert the Scotland clip right about.
Speaker 1: Listen, I know for a fact that Scotland that Rich
will insert the Scotland ar clip because Rich loves that clip,
I think more than any other clip in the history
of Clearly, I'll give you gamble. That was outrageous, absolutely
outraged that whole final table. The one of the best
things about that final table is that hasham like they
play like half the final table and you don't even
see Joe hasher and then all of a sudden it's
like Joe hashims like they got the Chipley. It's like,
where the hell did this guy come from? What just happened?
And then the meltdown from Scotlands are and as it
turns out, Scott and Joe are like great friends now incredible.
It's just I love poker. It's the best thing in
the world.
Speaker 2: Rounding out the chip counts back Glance doing it again, yep,
they a couple of the short stacks. Fifty left.
Speaker 1: What a what a table? This is what a tournament?
Speaker 2: This is Paul Snat's selling. He was the start of
he's selling. He's sill grinding away.
Speaker 1: But yeah, six d and forty six thousand dollars up top.
They are in the money. It was like one hundred
and twenty or something like that paid. Let me see
exactly one. Why do they put I I get so mad? One?
Twenty one is how many paigs They put these things
on multiple pages for god knows what reason. It's absolutely outrageous.
Speaker 2: We should also say that we have coach Mariy called
an audible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna talk about that right right now. Actually,
this was the plan was to stream this final table
on Saturday, June fourteenth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now the problem is that it's just about to hit
midnight and there's still fifty players left, so not really
sure we're gonna get to a final table, or if
we do, it'll probably be something like nine pm. Yeah exactly,
and that ain't gonna really work for streaming so called
an audible. And as things happen to work out, Daniel
legrand New is going deep in the ten k limit
hold them championship. So we're gonna swap in that limit,
hold them championship. Outgoes the seniors. Sorry, you guys play
too slow, not our fault, and we'll stream the the
min bet Championships of the World. What the hell does
that say?
Speaker 2: Says Jeremy Osmas, limitar in twelfth place from the limit
holding championship. Victor Blam got him, of course, Victor Blomb.
Now the main cash for Jeremy Osmas.
Speaker 1: What was it? What were the hands?
Speaker 2: It was six is for Osmas?
Speaker 1: Of course I had the best hand for victim, exactly exactly.
It's even worse than I thought I thought. I thought
it was you know, you'd like King nine. No, he's
got freaking four bop came seven four three outreach it.
Speaker 2: It gets worse turns of five.
Speaker 1: Leaving the show. What the hell is this?
Speaker 2: This is a three? See you later, Jeremy Osmas.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I hope you hit him with that
little Stanley mugg or whatever the hell he had on
the table. Man, Let me come on, what is this?
What what is that? What is that hand?
Speaker 2: Come on from Jeremy after about saying wow, nice hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice real nice hand, Victor, real nice freaking hand.
You get it. In drawing dead twice twice you were
joining dead in his hand. Twice you were dead pre
and you were dead on the turn. But no, you
somehow just win this hand. I mean, just absolutely crazy.
I know he wasn't drawing dead for everyone out there,
but still, for all intents and purposes, he was drawing
f and dead. Ridiculous. I mean, come on, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Right, No, Jeremy might be at the final title when
we turn.
Speaker 1: I'm what an absolute joke?
Speaker 5: That is?
Speaker 1: All right? The Monster Stack two thousand, six hundred and
eighty one entries today on Day one seed, So last
year eight thousand, seven hundred and three entries total, they
had three total starting flights. This year they have four
total starting flights right now as things stand, through these
first three flights, they have six three hundred and sixteen entries.
So on Saturday's Day one d that is the added
flight they need two thousand, three hundred and eighty seven
in order to meet last year's total. Because they had
two thousand, six hundred and eighty one today, I'm guessing
they're gonna smash through that. Yeah, probably gonna get four
thousand at least tomorrow on this. So what really to freeze?
I don't remember them so so, like I said, on this,
all right, I'll take over four thousand.
Speaker 2: Okay, coffee, sure done.
Speaker 1: Sure, I have like bought like the last three coffees.
By the way, you think you just owe anyway.
Speaker 2: That makes acually true. I love coffee.
Speaker 1: I mean it's just ridiculous. All right, So they need
twand three hundred and eighty seven. I'll take over four thousand.
You have under four thousand. The people out there will
hold us accountable. I'm obviously more bullish on the WSP
than you are. I just want that on record.
Speaker 2: Wow, hold me yeah, shots five.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that people a heard of four.
Speaker 2: Thousands, a big number, that's all. I'm saying a lot
of people have punched their ticket today to already.
Speaker 1: They only need thirteen hundred and nineteen more than today.
That's I don't think that's that hard. I feel like
a lot of people, because it's a Saturday flight, a
lot of people are just gonna come in and fire
the Saturday flight. That's how this works. Okay, So that's
where I'm at. The one thousand dollars buying plo that
kicked off today. How many entries this thing get up to?
Almost two thousand, nineteen hundred and thirty two, it's.
Speaker 2: Two hundred ninety players in the monding.
Speaker 1: Like Leah leading the way. Look who's fifth in chips?
John Rearden Plumbing is fifth. I mean, just he's he
has to be, just making so many flushes. It's just
fucking crazy out there. Jeff Madison's doing well, Chris Vich,
Andy Seth, Ben Ludlow looks like he's got you. I
have no idea if these chip counts are right, but
this is what I'm going with. Ryan Reese, Benny Glauser,
Barney Bow.
Speaker 2: He's on the rail here watching the halls.
Speaker 1: So see, I can't I can't handle.
Speaker 2: But us you touched on nineteen hundred and thirty two
entrance two hundred and ninety. Are the money two hundred
and thirty seven k for first down?
Speaker 1: Are they already here? Are they already in the money?
Speaker 2: Yes? There down from last year that had twenty two
hundred and twelve. Today we're gonna speak of the next
event also down. So today's not a good day for
the trend up. What was also done the fifteen hundred rats.
We'll move on to that four hundred and seventy two entrance,
one hundred and twenty six k for first there last
year five forty seven, so pretty much, you know, seventy
less than last year. But so today not the best
day for entrance with the two starting events.
Speaker 1: Is Mickey and the raws.
Speaker 2: He is in the res he bagged, he messaged us
in the group he bagged I think seventy three seventy
nine k last break.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a bag.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I thought it was a bag bagged yet
I think he bags big.
Speaker 1: David Schmuell is currently the chip leader for proker News.
He won a bracelet already correct, and then he finished
second or third third when Benny Glasser won yea his
second bracelet. Johannes Becker is up there, Alan Lee, Phil Hui,
Ryan Hoenig, Ryan Hoenigs having absolute our friend Matt Savage
who decided to call me out on social media for
in an article on poker dot org for god knows
what reason. He's He's just entirely wrong. It's just absolutely outrageous.
I mean, this guy I'm gonna have a bone to pick.
You know how you had you were like rich, I
need like this ducky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna it's gonna come off after the segment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need a meter for the bones that I
have to pick.
Speaker 2: The bond picking meda.
Speaker 1: Where even is this article?
Speaker 2: I think he saw a screenshot that you guys put
in the chat. I didn't really go to dig in
for it.
Speaker 1: This one savage rules this guy, this freaking I'm gonna
read the part where, well, there's there's a header here
that says coloring up is essential. I mean, yeah, for
the most part, technically, he wrote, I try to explain
the reasons, and players seem to understand. But I've had
arguments with Matt Clark and Donnie Peters. Shout out Matt Clark.
Now this is about, you know, players having so many chips.
He says. They say they want to have all these
chips on the table, that it looks so much better
for TV, and that it's going to draw in a
lot of people to watch the game. Okay, no, you're
exaggerating the I say it looks better, and it does
look better, Yeah, on TV tables when you don't have
four chips. When a guy has two million chips, he's
got six chips on the table. It looks ridiculous. Yeah,
and everyone says stuff about it on social media when
it happens, like why does it look like no one
has any chips? Like, just have some chips. It's just
a better entertaining product. There's a reason why if you
look up, like I don't know, YouTube thumbnails all over
the place, they use the ones with a ton of
chips in there, exact people.
Speaker 2: Want to see that.
Speaker 1: Or or when people are talking about money, they don't
put three quarters up on the screen. No, they put
a boatload of cash. Yeah, because that's sexy. Yep. Okay,
So for one table or two tables or three tables,
you know, it depends you at like what point you
are on the main event or another event, you can
have some extra chips on the table. Now, listen, we
don't got to go back to two thousand and four
and have thirty five thousand stacks of twenty for each player.
You know, Jamie Gold Paul Watsco was absurd. Yes, I
get it beautiful, but like you can still have some
sort of middle ground. And it's not that this is
going to like attract droves of people to poker or
to watch the game. But it is going to look better,
hands down. So One, don't put words in my mouth. Two,
I'm right, okay, So just stop with this nonsense. It's
absolutely ridiculous. And not only are when you color up
do you make it look worse, you also make way
more work for the players and the dealers who have
to constantly make change and sort the whole situation. Yeah,
so stop with this nonsense. Okay, just absolutely stop with it.
So that's that I'm heated. Matt's over in the rast too,
hopefully he is. Hopefully he has to bring it in
for thirteen orbits. All right, what's what's next? Can you
help me? What are you looking up? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find this message someone sent me. I
got my oopsie meter, sucky thing. Yeah, I made an
oopsie earlier in the series, and then I made another one.
So Rich is going to put a little oopsie meter
somewhere like here or here?
Speaker 1: Is he actually going to do that?
Speaker 2: Or he better do it. That's why we pay him
the big bucks.
Speaker 1: Lot.
Speaker 2: The other day we talked about Nick Suleman winning three
ten k no limit douce events, and we talked about
other people who done it, Adam Friedman, you know the
main event winners, et cetera. Billy Boyd. I missed one.
I missed a legend, Billy Baxter. Billy Baxter. He has
seven bracelets and five of them are in no limit
douce to seven now ninety seventy five one K buying
that was the only no No. Seventy eight was a
ten K, eighty two was a ten K, and in
eighty seven and nine three the buying drop to five K.
So essentially it's the same event at a different price point.
So you can argue that he has technically won five
of the same event, just like we kind of made
a little asterix for Billy Boyd, so we missed that guy.
I don't know how I missed Billy Bax's. Apologies to
the listeners out there for making a boo boo little
ducky oopsie meter and but but as a reward for
having to dure endure my unprofessional researching, I got a
new code word today. So if you go to PGT
dot com slash gleam so you can see all our promotions.
There's a podcast one on gleam. You're entering a password
you can get bonus raffle tickets as well as if
you follow us, subscribe all this stuff, and if you win,
you get a seat in the PGT Million Dollar Championship
to represent us the Pubgo podcast potentially sit next to
Day in Agrano. Probably not Jeremy Osmus as this rate
because you can only men cash.
Speaker 1: But well, did you say I'm looking at the ham
again right now? I mean, just this is outrageous.
Speaker 2: I can fantagic, guys, But okay, you guys, folks in
the million dollar PGT Million Dollar Championship five and your
k for first The password for this week for this
episode is going to be Baxter. I think that's fair
backs to b a x t e er put that in,
you get you know what instead of ten additional raffle tickets,
I'm going to make a fifteen. I feel generous today.
Fifteen raffle tickets. You normally get one for just following
us on Twitter, So fifteen if you put in Baxter
as the secret code word in the promotion, fifteen raffle tickets.
I'm just super generous today.
Speaker 1: So if you haven't done it, but I've got to
get a guys is given out raffle ticks. Won't give
up hats, miss.
Speaker 2: Oh give out hats. You come and get them. You
gotta earn it. But I made the booboo. So this
is the way I apologize to the people, the listeners
out there. This is my apology with raffle tickets. So
fifteen raffle tickets. Uh you know code word Baxter b
A x t E. There it is.
Speaker 1: I had something I was going to say as well.
Oh yeah, so you were talking about how Billy Baxter's
events were like the same event with different price points. Yeah,
I heard on the broadcast today that you know, they
said the one hundred K high roller started in twenty eighteen.
But I was thinking, like, well, it was the one job.
I mean yeah, the one drop was the event before.
I mean, yes, it was a kind of a different event.
Speaker 2: This is one hundred K high That was a one
hundred and eleven eleven eleven whatever buying with donations of charity.
Speaker 1: It was basically it was one hundred k after the
when he went to the chair, I it's like the
same event. Okay, I'm just saying it's like it's it's
it's not that I don't think that they're different events.
I would almost just I would almost have to just
talk it through a little more. I wouldn't. I wouldn't
say like, hey, this event started in twenty eighteen. I
would say, you know, they used to have this other
event and then it kind of transitioned to now this
new event. Like that's how I think you get through it?
I think, right, yeah, And there's there's it's not just
that event. There's there's obviously a couple events that they
kind of change, but they're kind of similar, you know.
Speaker 2: So I guess with the you know, the fifty k PPC,
that's a good example, right, started as the fifty k
Horse Championship, it was called, and then it evolved into
the Poker Players Championship.
Speaker 1: So it's been different is the fifty k horse because
it was called the fifty k horse correct the whole Yeah,
for a few years and then so technically that those
are different events.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the lineage is the same, I understand.
Speaker 1: But that's it's the lineage that you need to hold intact.
Speaker 2: But also if we if we're arguing it, the one
hundred k is always no limit. The fifty k PPC.
It's been five games, six seven, eight, nine games.
Speaker 7: Final table Nolan has had many different varias over the place,
but you know the lineage, you know, the Chipris Trophy,
I guess you know, starting from when David Chipperies won it,
all the way through to you know, Brian Rass, Michael Mazrahi,
all these great guys that have won this event.
Speaker 2: Daniel grind are obviously defending champion. I think it's you know,
regarded as being the one event, you know, even though
it was going through different alliterations. So I guess in
the same vein we could probably talk about the big
one for one drop one hundred k kind of evolving
into this one hundred k high roll that we have now.
I think I think you could argue that and I'll
be okay with it.
Speaker 1: You want to know how I know that I'm going
to win this bet that we have on the over
four thousand?
Speaker 2: Are you already looking at the app and it says
twenty seven hundred or something?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Is that true? I'll right now, I hope that would
be awesome because they only have one event tomorrow and
it's ten k. Yep, yep, that's where I That's why
I know why I know. Can I buy off a
half of that? That's why I know that they're planning
for like six k. Okay, they're ready to go. Hold on,
don't tell me. Let me guess. Five thirty six signed
up for tomorrow? How many more more? How many? How many?
Six sixty? Baby, let's go, let's go. I love it, absolutely,
you can love it. Look up the ten K Big
O' Championship that starts on Saturday. Who signed up for that?
Speaker 2: Who signed up for three minutes? Big Matthew, Matthew Belcher?
Who else would be a favorite? Who else could possibly
be in that? Already? I got no idea. It's a
big old guy. I bet you like Ronald Kaiser or
Dylan Weisman.
Speaker 1: Ronald is a good one.
Speaker 2: Fourteen entrants.
Speaker 1: Ronald Kais is a good one.
Speaker 2: Alan Lee probably Tom Lee.
Speaker 1: All's in a tournament right now?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah? That? Okay? No Belcher?
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I don't even know if he plays.
Speaker 2: I don't Kwanzo. He's the most notable player. That is
Guinny Tiama Shenko.
Speaker 1: There you go. You have Ganny's back.
Speaker 2: So that's the two notable players of the fourteen that
are in.
Speaker 1: You know what I saw today? Pan of random player
ish Paul Sockeloff.
Speaker 2: How's that random? I mean there's a lot of events.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like I haven't seen him in years.
Maybe I just haven't seen him. He's in the five
K senior year. He's over there or he was over
there grinding away. All right, I think that's that's good
for us. What do you think? His name is Tim Duckworth.
My name is Donnie Peters, and we will talk to
you guys next time.
Speaker 3: Jenny Express
