1
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to a new episode of

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,199
The Poker Show Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. His

3
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,879
name is Tim Duckworth. We are recording from the Poker

4
00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:24,719
gro studio down on the Las Vegas Strip. It is

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,399
about ten thirty at night. I'm sure the Vegas Golden

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,759
Knights hockey game. The crowd from that game is on

7
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:35,000
its way out, so at least we'll be chilling here

8
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:38,520
for a little while as we recap what happened down

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,439
at the studio today. Big day, as we get into

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,799
everything as it pertains to the p g T Million

11
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,759
Dollar Championship that is taking place tomorrow. Hopefully you guys

12
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:54,359
are listening to this in the morning of that two

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,399
day event to get you prepped and ready to go

14
00:00:57,479 --> 00:00:59,520
for everything that's going to happen. We know the field,

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,560
we know who's eligible. Granted they all have to show up, yes,

16
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:06,959
but high likelihood that I would say ninety eight percent

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,680
of them do. Today was a big day on the

18
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:12,920
Poker Go Tour. First, we wrapped up the PGT Last

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,599
Chance Series Event number six wrapped up. Tim and I

20
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,640
can talk about that and how it played into the

21
00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:24,280
overall standings. The big race for the PGT Championship qualification

22
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:26,239
and all that sort of stuff, and then we had

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,879
Playing out is the Dream Seat Invitational, from which six

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,640
people won Dream Seats to get into the PGT Million

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,680
Dollar Championship. So big day overall on the PGT. As

47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,199
Championship PGT Last Chance. We'll hit on Last Chance. First,

48
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,439
we had our second two time winner from the series.

49
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,680
Shannon Shore captured the title in the final events the

50
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:10,159
sixth event of the sixth event series. He took home

51
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,000
two hundred and ninety thousand dollars. So last time we spoke,

52
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:19,639
we were entering the final table of event number three, right,

53
00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:24,439
So we had Nick Shulman winning the opening event, we

54
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,319
had Shannon Shore winning the second event. Then there was

55
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,240
that day off, Tim and I recorded a show. We

56
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,159
talked about how Brandon Wilson had the chip lead going

57
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,120
into event number three. Well, guess what, Brandon Wilson won it.

58
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:39,120
And not only that, Brandon Wilson went on to win

59
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:42,080
the next event, so back to back titles for him.

60
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:45,000
Then it was Martin's Monni winning event number five, and

61
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:48,240
then Shannon Shore back in the winners circle for event

62
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:53,039
number six. This event number six was a sweat for everyone.

63
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,960
One hundred and sixteen entries in this one really good turnout.

64
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:59,719
Across the entire series, numbers held strong. What was the

65
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:03,240
average one sixteen pretty much? Yeh yeah, so I mean

66
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,560
really really good turnout. Everyone was sweating it. One of

67
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:10,719
the biggest sweats in this final event was two people,

68
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:16,000
Boris Angelov and Jonathan Tomio. They are some of the

69
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,160
players who had enough points to be positioned in the

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,519
top forty of the PGT leaderboard, but as Tim and

71
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:25,519
I have mentioned before, they needed to get to a

72
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,600
third cash in order to be eligible. There is a

73
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,800
three cash requirement in PGT events in order to be

74
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,079
eligible for the PGT Million Dollar Championship. So you need

75
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,240
two things. You need enough points to meet into the

76
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,160
top forty. You also need at least three PGT cases.

77
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:44,519
Of course, you guys likely know Tomio one the twenty

78
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:46,240
twenty four Doubles to Be main event. That's where he

79
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,240
got the bulk of his points. Boris Angelov got fifth

80
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:51,040
in the WASP main event. That's where he got the

81
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,439
bulk of his points. So they had a lot of

82
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:56,759
points from the WASP main event, but still needed to

83
00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:59,759
get a third cash. They had gone over and everything

84
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:02,279
that they played up until this point the final event,

85
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,240
and they both made it in Can you believe it?

86
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:06,519
Speaker 3: Sir?

87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: I can you have faith? I had faith they were

88
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,240
gonna make it. They were pleading to the poker God,

89
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,040
especially Jonathan.

90
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,439
Speaker 1: Unfortunately Jonathan Tomorrow was for sure pleading to the book.

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: Ye down and uh, but they got in. So that

92
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:23,720
was a great showing. You know, baris obviously traveling from

93
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,120
Bulgaria to come play these last start he did. He

94
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,120
missed the first two events, I believe, but he got

95
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,680
his cash. That's all that matters. Same with Jonathan, you know,

96
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,439
probably took a few more events than he was planning

97
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:37,399
on taking, but at least he's in there, got a

98
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,920
chance to uh make a run in the upcoming pg

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,399
T million dollars Championship.

100
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Tomayo had been you know, after he made

101
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,160
the run at the World Series of Poker and won

102
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:51,199
the Wspmian events and he had to get that third cash.

103
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:54,920
He played the NAPT events that we partnered with there,

104
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:57,959
the high rollers that were part of that schedule to

105
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240
get a third cash obviously missed out. He was at

106
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,519
the Texas Plow roundup down at our partner champions Club.

107
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,160
He blanked out there and then you know, of course

108
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,439
he's here and he's firing away, but he's going over,

109
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,439
and then of course final event comes up, he ends

110
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:16,720
up getting into the money. He cashed in eighth place,

111
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:20,439
So probably a bit of a loser on the series,

112
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,560
but he can all he can make it all up

113
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,920
in the PGT Championship event. Boris Angelov did a bit

114
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:30,720
better in this event, ultimately finished second place to Shannon Shore.

115
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,480
He took home just under one hundred and eighty one

116
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,399
thousand dollars and then it was Shannon Shore up on

117
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,519
top with two hundred and ninety k some other sweats.

118
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,199
At this final final table, you had two players. You

119
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,480
had Dylan Lindy and you had Jeremy Becker. Now there

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,399
was kind of two pathways that they were working to

121
00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:55,920
the PGT Championship event. So Lindy, if he got first

122
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:58,920
place in this event, then he would he would have

123
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,480
enough points to be in the top forty of the leaderboard,

124
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:04,879
which would then get him into the PGT Championship. Or

125
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:08,240
if he finished in second place, he would leap frog

126
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,600
Martin Zemani on the series leaderboard to finish in one

127
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,360
of those top three spots, and those top three spots

128
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,600
then got you in to the PGT Championship via the

129
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,199
dream seats that were given away at the series. Now,

130
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,720
also given Lindy's position, he was going to be guaranteed

131
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,959
to play in the Dream Seat Invitational no matter what

132
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,759
happened today. And fortunately for him, at least he got

133
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,800
to play in that Dream Seat Invitational because he bombed

134
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:36,519
out in seventh plays at the final table. First one

135
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,399
to go Jeremy Becker. So he needed to finish in

136
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:43,680
the top three to get into the top forty of

137
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,040
the PGT leader board, or he needed to finish fourth

138
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,319
or fifth so top five to get into the Dream

139
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:54,399
Seat Invitational. He could not get enough points to get

140
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,240
up to winning one of the dream seats without also

141
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,439
qualifying for the top forty leaderboard, so you can forget

142
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,360
about that. So for him, six players left, he's just

143
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:07,680
got to go one more spot in order to in

144
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:09,839
order to guarantee the fact that he can continued the

145
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,759
quest for the championship right now. I don't know if

146
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:18,519
you saw his bust out. I don't think I agree

147
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:20,040
with it, but.

148
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: We had different thoughts on how he should play, and

149
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,240
we saw him put out on different thoughts. You had

150
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:28,759
very similar thoughts oh okay. They were very different to

151
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,199
his thoughts where he said I'm gone for first.

152
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't know if he was, like that

153
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,720
was just something he put out there on social and

154
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,960
like whatever, I mean for him. It was interesting because

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,519
everyone left. So when there were six players UF, it

156
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:43,840
was Shannon Show, Boris angelov Renlin, Shawn Winter, and Steven

157
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,519
Chidwick in addition to Becker. Shannon Shore having won the

158
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,320
event already, having had this obviously made it to the

159
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,200
position that he was in at this final table. He

160
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:56,240
was going to get one of those dream seats, okay,

161
00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:59,240
and then everyone else is in the top forty okay.

162
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:04,080
So it was an interesting dynamic because for Becker it

163
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:07,639
was essentially a satellite yes to at least get into

164
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,039
the top five, if not, try and satellite yourself into

165
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,960
the top three. For everyone else, they could just do

166
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:13,879
whatever they want, play it like a normal tournament, right,

167
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:18,639
So that interesting dynamic was at play. Becker gets dealt

168
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,480
the Queen nine suited Queen nine of clubs under the

169
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,639
gun six handed believe he had eight point three maybe

170
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,679
eight point three, one two five big blinds. He elected

171
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,600
to ultimately go with it. He did one of those

172
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,879
committing raises folded around to Boris Angelov in the Big Blind,

173
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:37,480
he had King Queen suited. He put the money in, uh,

174
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,919
Becker called it off, and Becker could not come from

175
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,399
behind there. I personally would fold that hand. I think

176
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:49,080
it's worth thinking about, but ultimately I think you got

177
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,679
to put it in the muck, just given that this

178
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,360
is like a satellite situation for Becker. I mean probably

179
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,559
Queen ten suited. I think about Queen Jack stud. I

180
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,159
think I'm in there. So I'm not saying it's it's

181
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,720
anything egregious, Like I think it's worth considering. Yes, you know,

182
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:09,639
I think I do you know lean to what you're saying.

183
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,799
Where Becker at the end of the day was like

184
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,480
probably thought, okay, gotta kind of play to win type

185
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,879
of thing. That said, I think it was more important

186
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,559
for him to do the best that he could to

187
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:25,799
get into the free roll, and at least I know that, like,

188
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:28,200
he wasn't guaranteed to get into the free roll if

189
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,960
he got fourth or fifth, because he would still need

190
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,279
to compete in the Dream Seed Invitational and then finish

191
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,200
top six in that event. But once you get to

192
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:39,080
five handed, if you can maneuver your way to five

193
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,159
handed play, and your ultimate goal is getting in the

194
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:44,200
top three, because then that gets you into the top forty.

195
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,559
That gets you into the championship for sure. Then at

196
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:50,320
least when you get to five, you have like that

197
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,600
that nice cushion, that that net that if you you know,

198
00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:56,120
get the Queen nine and you want to jam it, Okay, fine,

199
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:58,159
you know, at least you're gonna fall back on the

200
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,639
fact that you're in the Dream Seat Imitational. His fallback,

201
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,679
as he put on social media after, was off to

202
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,919
the win six hundred. So he's down the street playing

203
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:08,879
at the win. He will not be competing in the

204
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:13,759
PGT Championship because he finished in sixth place in this event.

205
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,159
Speaker 2: Don't you think it's better for him once you get

206
00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:20,600
to six regardless of the people's chips, decks leave. I'm

207
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,720
joking literally just folded. I mean, maybe play aces, but

208
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,360
like vuote every other hand because I.

209
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Mean, you have to play a little bit wider than aces,

210
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,440
I think, or you're just gonna like it. I Mean,

211
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,879
here's the thing. The other players, I believe were well

212
00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:36,039
aware of the situation as well, So like, I don't

213
00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:39,200
think they're going to necessarily do anything too crazy.

214
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:41,799
Speaker 2: But think about the people you have. You have Sean Winter,

215
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,200
you have the greatest short steck. You don't think these

216
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,240
guys are trying to pressure each other to try and

217
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,600
win too, so they could easily be some clash with

218
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,279
should Wick. Four bet rips the Ice five suit into

219
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,399
Rendland's Ice Queen, and he.

220
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: Actually had a chance to for bet rip the Ace

221
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,759
five suit and he just folded it. These knits, I

222
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:04,480
think that hand was Redlin opened Shaan Winter three bit

223
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:06,519
Chidwick found the Ace five suit and put it in

224
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,919
the mucker. I mean understandable, yes, But I'm just saying

225
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,159
I don't think these guys were very willing to just

226
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,279
get after it a ton. And I think they from

227
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,200
what I saw when I was doing the commentary, it

228
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,279
did seem like they were doing the dance, you know,

229
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,440
doing the tiptoeing around things, knowing that Becker had to

230
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,720
do a certain thing and that was probably on his mind.

231
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,039
So so yeah, I mean, who knows either way. You know,

232
00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:34,360
I think that I think it's safe to say that,

233
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,279
you know, Becker coming out here playing all season long

234
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,360
on the PGT, getting close to the top forty, you know,

235
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:45,200
I think he's somebody who's here to stay. Yeah, he's

236
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,399
gonna be you know, grinding those win six hundreds and

237
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,200
all that sort of stuff regularly. But you know, I

238
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,720
expect to see him at the kickoff coming up in

239
00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:54,519
a week or so. You know, I expect to see

240
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,360
him firing plenty of PGT stuff throughout the twenty twenty

241
00:12:57,399 --> 00:13:01,200
five seasons. So as far as I'm concerned, Jeremy Becker

242
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,000
has arrived. You know. Now he just kind of needs

243
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:06,960
to take the next step. And as it pertains to

244
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,840
the PGT, Like he won a PGT event this season,

245
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,840
he had say, right around eight hundred points finished, you know,

246
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,679
near the top forty. You know, he was contending in

247
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,039
several events. I know Daniel Legrand who has talked about

248
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:23,480
it many times that you know, Jeremy very much looks

249
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,399
the part, acts the part, plays the part when he's

250
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:28,759
in the studio playing these events. So I would expect

251
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,080
all of that sort of stuff to continue, and then

252
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,200
we'll see if he can raise the bar again take

253
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,120
that next step, which is qualify for next season's championship events.

254
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,039
So left to be determined if it happens. But you know,

255
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,559
that's how things played out today for not only Jeremy Becker,

256
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,240
but also Dylan Lindy, you know, just missing out. And then,

257
00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:52,159
as I mentioned, Shannon Shore goes on to win the

258
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,639
whole thing, the second win of the series for him.

259
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,440
Kind of crazy that we had six events but only

260
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,320
four winners. Yeah, what's up with that?

261
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:02,639
Speaker 2: Man?

262
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: You're making it too easy for some of these guys.

263
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think, what's the macho manphrase, cream of

264
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:16,960
the Ooh, yeah, whatever. Brandon Wilson, it's his time, Shannon Shaw,

265
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,720
it's his time, and now they're in the big dance.

266
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean these two guys. I mean, Shannon Shore

267
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,000
obviously didn't finish on the top forty. Either did Brandon Wilson.

268
00:14:27,039 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: Both very close though, just as so.

269
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, it must feel really freaking good

270
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:38,840
to have this sort of confidence, have this sort of momentum,

271
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,120
you know, just really have the wind at you're back

272
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:47,240
as you're coming into this championship event. Right, You've obviously

273
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,600
performed super well at this series. You know that you

274
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:55,080
can hang with these caliber of players. Because a large

275
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,559
majority of people playing in the PGT Last Chance Series

276
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:03,480
are gonna be playing in the PGG Championship event. You know,

277
00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:06,600
they are top notch high stakes players. You know, they're

278
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,120
all tournament grinders. They know what they do, they're doing,

279
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:12,480
they're experienced, they're skillful, all that sort of stuff. So

280
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,919
Suore getting two wins, Brandon Wilson getting two wins, you know,

281
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,840
I think really does bode well for them confidence wise

282
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,159
going into the PGT Championship. And you know, so don't

283
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,480
sleep on them going into the PDT Championship. Now that said,

284
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,240
they're gonna start with a little less chips than some

285
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,360
of the other players, right, yeah, because the dream Seat

286
00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:33,399
winners start with how many big lines.

287
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,879
Speaker 2: You mean, Shannon Martin and Brandon.

288
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,879
Speaker 1: Well, all the dream Seat winners in general, But are

289
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,639
they different. They're differentyea, oh, they're different.

290
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, those three will start with one hundred and twenty

291
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:46,720
five big blinds. The fortieth player, for example, on the

292
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:49,080
lead aboard starts at one hundred and thirty big blinds

293
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,200
and then it goes up.

294
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that's how it works out. And then

295
00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:58,159
of course we had the dream Seed Invitational playing out,

296
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,960
which had twenty five entries in it. Do you can

297
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,440
you tell me who advanced? I know, ket.

298
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:10,639
Speaker 2: Alan Keating advanced. He had every chip in the room

299
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:13,679
from like pretty much twenty players out. I don't know

300
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,039
what's happened, but Alan Keating he did advance. Another player

301
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,080
that has played some PGT EVN, Zachary Gretch, he also advanced.

302
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,080
And then we had George Kasanas. And then we had

303
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,720
two Poker Goo annual subscriber winners by monthly drawings. Joe

304
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,440
Siico Junior. That name Israel.

305
00:16:34,039 --> 00:16:38,279
Speaker 1: Joe Sico Sico wins PGT Write It Now Baby.

306
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:44,639
Speaker 2: The other annual subscriber was Rudolph Rothamund and Rudy Rudy Believe.

307
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,159
And the final dream Seat winner was a person that

308
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,759
won through our gleam social media promotions. A couple of

309
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:53,879
retweets here and there's some likes that kind of stuff,

310
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,399
Philip Johnston. So they are the six dream Seat winners

311
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:02,080
from the dream Sea Invitational. They'll be starting the PGT

312
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,079
Championship with one hundred Big blinds and yeah, the final

313
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,240
six people to qualify for this fifty entrant field.

314
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, So when we tell you guys we're

315
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,200
doing this promotion, we're doing that promotion. This is ultimately

316
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,920
what could happen to you, Like Tim said, maybe you

317
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,000
fire off some retweets, maybe you respond to some stuff

318
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,480
like a couple of posts. Follow this page, follow that page,

319
00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:27,240
whatever it may be. Maybe your Poker Co annual subscriber,

320
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:31,400
whatever the case may be. We generally have several promotions

321
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,920
running throughout the year that you can win really cool

322
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,279
things with, and like Tim mentioned, some of those winners

323
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,519
are now competing in the PGT Million Dollars Championship with

324
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,759
a chance to win half a million dollars. Also, as

325
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:49,799
a result of the festivities here at the studio, you

326
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:53,799
had Jeremy Osmus locking up PGT Player of the Year honors,

327
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:56,079
not that we weren't confident that he was gonna do so.

328
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,839
Tim and I talked about it on some previous episodes.

329
00:17:58,839 --> 00:18:03,119
That lead that he had coming into the PGT Last

330
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,440
Chance Series was a very big one for Jeremy Osmas,

331
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,759
so likely in insurmountable lead, especially when second place Daniel

332
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:13,000
mcgrowney was not going to be playing at the PGT

333
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,720
Last Chance Series. And then, you know, just for good measure,

334
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,480
Jeremy Alins went out and finished second place in event

335
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:21,640
number four. He finished runner up to Brandon Wilson, but

336
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,599
he did add one hundred and seventy six dollars in

337
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,559
prize money one hundred and seventy seven points there, so

338
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,480
he was able to get closer to three thousand. Think

339
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:32,000
he finished the season with twenty nine hundred and sixty

340
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,279
six points twenty six. Huh yeah, so close to three thousand,

341
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,720
twenty six cashes over five million dollars. One he had

342
00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:46,559
won victory. So Jeremy Osmas absolutely positively showed out on

343
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:51,319
the PGT this season. Congratulations to him. He joins Steven

344
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,640
Chidwick and Isaac Haxton as PGT Player of the Year winners.

345
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,640
Chidwick won it in twenty twenty two, the first official

346
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,839
year the award, and then Isaac Hackston won it last year,

347
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,039
and then this year. Of course Jeremy Osmas. And one

348
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:08,799
of the benefits, well, two of the benefits. One, he

349
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:12,599
gets a fifty thousand dollars prize. Cool awesome, love it.

350
00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:16,519
Two he gets to start the PGT Million Dollar Championship

351
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:19,720
with the most chips. How many big blinds is he

352
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:20,599
gonna start with? Sir?

353
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:23,559
Speaker 2: He starts with three hundred and fifty big blinds. There

354
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:26,440
you go. That's but he's already complained about it.

355
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,559
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what what's what now?

356
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,759
Speaker 2: If we were running it the same as Lasia, he

357
00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:35,079
would have started with two hundred and ninety seven big.

358
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,559
Speaker 1: Blinds, but the gap would be bigger.

359
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: But the gap would be bigger, and he cares about

360
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,599
the gap. I tried to give you more chips, tried

361
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:42,359
to make it nice and fair for all these PoCA

362
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,640
players and of course.

363
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,599
Speaker 1: Complaints. I like last year is way better because it

364
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,200
because it incentivizes Jeremy, like somebody like Jeremy, even if

365
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,200
he's in first place, like he didn't have to play

366
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,720
any of these events, and he would have started with

367
00:19:56,759 --> 00:19:58,680
the same number of big lines, the same gap between

368
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,480
first and second. But it incentivizes players to play as

369
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:05,160
much as possible because they can gain more chips every

370
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,640
time they get more points. I personally think that's a

371
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,160
better way I get because then you get people firing

372
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,000
to the end, even if they're absolutely locked in and

373
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,200
you can't get out of the top four.

374
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: You didn't see the numbers. We hadn't feature Oh yeah

375
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:18,799
they were.

376
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course a lot of them were firing, But

377
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,880
you know, I think you might get a couple more firing.

378
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,440
There was there was people in the top forty that

379
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:24,960
weren't here.

380
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the main reason was to try and kind of wait,

381
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:32,559
it a little different on the lower end.

382
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I also think that, like I think to

383
00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:39,119
Jeremy's point, I mean, he should be rewarded for having

384
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,200
such a big lead and crushing everyone else.

385
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 2: He's rewarded with more signing chips than he would have

386
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,319
had lost yet, No.

387
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,039
Speaker 1: But it should be more. I'm on Jeremy's side personally here. Okay, listen,

388
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:54,079
I'm here against me, but whatever, I'm against you quite

389
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,759
a bit. We argue all the time.

390
00:20:55,839 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: That's just one.

391
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,319
Speaker 1: I'm definitely against you. But whatever, it's fine. He's still

392
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,920
gonna start with the most chips. So it is what

393
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:07,640
it is. Just let me look at the PGT leader

394
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,440
board as I pull it up right now. Who else

395
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,440
we got in there? So we got Jeremy Osmas number one,

396
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:14,559
number two, Daniel Legrand New I know he didn't play

397
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:16,759
the PGT Last Chance Series, but he will be here

398
00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:20,960
on Friday for the PGT Million Dollars Championship set. Davies

399
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,599
is in third. He played a couple PGT Last Chance

400
00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:29,319
Series events. Michael Rocco, he's coming, you know, he's already here.

401
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,640
Jesse Loani is Yeah, but isn't he playing not Nolham

402
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,960
at Holden, which I think is a little weird, Like.

403
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,599
Speaker 2: I like he's just getting he's getting the gro Like I.

404
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: If it was me, right, I would play at least

405
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,640
one last chance event just to like get especially for Yeah,

406
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,680
you playing here, you get to feel out things like

407
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,680
you know, how does the clockwork when you're playing? Like

408
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,079
you know, what is it like just sitting in these

409
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,440
chairs and being in this atmosphere and what's the tournament

410
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,759
staff like? And the dealers and you get the battle

411
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:03,240
with some of the players that you then might be

412
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:06,079
battling with, Like you know, it's just it's practice. You know,

413
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:09,720
I would not come in cold. You know, someone like

414
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,720
a Daniel Legrando I think is a little bit different

415
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,200
because he's in here for every single event that we have.

416
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:16,000
You know, he just happened to take this one off,

417
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:18,559
so I don't think he's someone that might need the practice.

418
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:21,000
But you know, Michael Rocco isn't in the studio all

419
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:22,880
the time, like he got the large majority of his

420
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,720
points from the WSP. So if I was him, I

421
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,200
would be here playing, even if it's just the final

422
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,279
event just to get in there, you know again, start

423
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,799
just feeling it, get going through the motions, all that

424
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:38,599
sort of stuff. Jonathan Tomayo is sixth on the leaderboard.

425
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,319
We mentioned how he was able to get his third cash,

426
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,200
so he got his third cash during this series. Boris

427
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,680
Angelov got his third cash during this series, and then

428
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,160
another person from the wap Man Event Final Table, Brian Kim,

429
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,319
he got his third cash from the series. Unlike Angelov

430
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,759
and Tomayo, Kim got it in the first event of

431
00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:59,559
the PGT last series, so he came in he got

432
00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:01,599
that out of the way right away. He still played

433
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:05,319
all the other events, but you know he's in there

434
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,319
as well. Who are the players who didn't get it?

435
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:13,039
I know, Jason Segal he tried. No, I know he tried,

436
00:23:13,079 --> 00:23:15,440
but I'm just saying they ultimately didn't didn't get it.

437
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,799
So just before you name all the names, I'll let

438
00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:20,000
you get that prepared. Of the players that were in

439
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,400
the top forty that ultimately didn't get three cashes. So

440
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,759
what happens is they essentially get removed from the leader

441
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:29,440
board and everyone gets slotted up a spot. So if

442
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,359
you finished in forty sixth place and one player in

443
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,480
the top forty didn't get three cashes, that player is ineligible.

444
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Then from or sorry, from forty first, then from forty

445
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,960
first you get bumped up to fortieth and you're in.

446
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,759
So who were those players I mentioned, Jason Segle being

447
00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:44,200
one of them.

448
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there was six in total that didn't have

449
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:50,799
enough enough cashes to qualify. One was Nicholas asked that

450
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,079
Jason Segle, who you mentioned, he was here playing the

451
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:57,240
first three events. He needed two cashes though, so hopefully

452
00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:59,079
he was probably trying to rip one off early then

453
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,640
he could shoot for that third one. Matthew Lambresh, who

454
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:05,279
you know played all pokemases here, he did not return.

455
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:10,000
Andre's gonzales Ano, the WSP main event finalist, Elie Nakashi

456
00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:14,200
the PLO WSP PLO when he needed one more dinner

457
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,880
make it. Malow Latinoir also needed two cash as he

458
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,200
did not come. So that's the six guys that gave

459
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:24,640
up their seats to the six just outside the top forty.

460
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: And then who were the six that got in the

461
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:27,640
six lucky ones?

462
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: Justin Saliba, you're in.

463
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:35,039
Speaker 1: Mattheeleva was in to start series. That's the thing that's

464
00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:37,640
why this was like so crazy is you have these

465
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,039
people who are like in like thirty five through fortieth,

466
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:42,640
but then people below them like jump into the top

467
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,440
forty and then they get knocked out. And like, I'm

468
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,880
sure people I was here every day, but I was

469
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,400
largely in the commentary booth. I mean you were out

470
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,119
here on the floor. I'm sure people were like, where

471
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,599
am I, What do I gotta do? What position am I?

472
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:53,759
Speaker 2: Like?

473
00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Who bumped me out? All the like, I'm sure it

474
00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:56,440
was crazy.

475
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: We're going to get to a bad base, so don't worry.

476
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,759
But justin Saliva snuck in, Matthew Wantman snuck in, Jonathan

477
00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:06,440
Little snuck in, Isaac Hackson, Sergio Aido, and Breck's gutten.

478
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,079
They will fill those six spots vacated by the guys

479
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:12,440
without the cashs. Let me tell you about this bad

480
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,200
beat Brock Wilson, he was started, I think he started

481
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,559
in fortieth or thirty ninth. He bricked every event and

482
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,240
he only needed three points, oh my god, to get

483
00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:29,839
like from the very it. He yeah, he bricked everything.

484
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:32,960
Bryce Jockey had that early final table and then he

485
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,640
just just on the very last event got knocked out.

486
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:38,480
That's the same with Danny Tang got knocked out in

487
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,160
the last event. Sam Laskowitz got knocked out at it

488
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,839
in the last event, So pretty brutal for you know,

489
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:47,400
Danny wasn't here playing, but pretty brutal for Sam and

490
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,279
Bryce who were in for those last five events and

491
00:25:51,319 --> 00:25:53,960
got knocked out. And obviously Brock was in until that

492
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:57,720
last event too, but went cashless during this series, So

493
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:03,319
pretty brutal for those guys. Yeah, it's it's pretty intense

494
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,960
out here because people knew what they needed. They knew

495
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,160
they needed like a men cash to go above this guy,

496
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,640
or they knew they needed this to get onto the

497
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,519
PGT Last Chance leaderboard and have a dream seat or

498
00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:17,200
have a dream pass. So everyone knew. Everyone knew exactly

499
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,000
what they want, they knew who they want anti sweating,

500
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,160
even though they didn't want to admit it. You know,

501
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,440
every all win, especially as every event ticked on, was

502
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,599
like it just was more weight involved for each player.

503
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,119
So I think you know you're going to agree with me.

504
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,680
We love this kind of last leaderboard chase with so

505
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,640
many moving parts to quite.

506
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,079
Speaker 1: It also gives me a headache.

507
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: It does. It gets very confusing. You have people I

508
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,279
have players asking me this, and I'm like, this is

509
00:26:43,319 --> 00:26:45,519
the scenario, and then he's asking me this. I'm like, look,

510
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:48,759
there's like eighty nine different scenarios just involving you. I

511
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:51,720
can't really break them down. Just I kept telling these

512
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:55,559
players just win. I know that sounds like, you know,

513
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:57,680
but you control your destiny, Like you don't want to

514
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,359
put your destiny in other players. You want to control

515
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,039
it yourself. And the longer you stay in and you

516
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,519
hit the money, you start laddering up points, you start

517
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:08,440
laddering up places and make that final table, make a

518
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,079
run on the final table. You control you destiny. That's

519
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,519
the best way to kind of approach it and not sweat.

520
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:15,880
You know, you keep bringing up the Jim Callipe story

521
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,559
of Lossie is sitting at the bow, you know, sweating

522
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:20,960
some results you don't want to rely on that you

523
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,319
want taking in your own hands and uh get that,

524
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,240
get that big.

525
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,319
Speaker 1: W Yeah, I mean I agree, you know, you got

526
00:27:27,319 --> 00:27:28,799
to kind of just take it into your own hands,

527
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,599
control your fate at least to the best of your ability,

528
00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:35,720
and uh be able to get into this championship event.

529
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,359
I while a lot of the different scenarios, you know,

530
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,160
like I said, and you know, jokingly, because I do

531
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,599
love it. It gives me a popsicle headache. I definitely

532
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,680
can tell that it's working what we're doing now. I

533
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,160
think we definitely need to improve on a bunch of

534
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:02,359
things for next season. But that's fine. We can obviously

535
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,480
work to improve on things. And why I say that

536
00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:08,920
I think that it's working is, you know, kind of

537
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,160
just two things. One is a little bit more easier

538
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,039
to get a grasp on, and that's the numbers in

539
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,799
this this season's Last Chance Series versus last seasons, numbers

540
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:25,920
had a big, big boost. Not only did the actual

541
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:28,599
numbers have a big big boost, but like the players

542
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:30,119
that were coming out, you know, a lot of new

543
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,400
faces being like, yeah, this is the last chance. I'm

544
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,880
aware of these dream seats on this leaderboard over here,

545
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,839
so I can just compete even though I might not

546
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,759
have any points whatsoever. So that tells me that, you know,

547
00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:43,400
I think there is a fair amount of interest in

548
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,160
this series, and a growing interest at that. Okay, so

549
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,599
there's that, and then just secondary, you know, then this

550
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400
is a little bit harder to measure, although I just

551
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:53,920
know from being in the room and being at the

552
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,440
studio and talking to these players and you know, whether

553
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,880
it's you know, going through text messages or dming with

554
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,599
them on like where they stand, what they need, all

555
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:02,759
this sort of stuff, Like there is for sure a

556
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:06,799
buzz and a feeling that you just get from being here.

557
00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:09,720
And they care and they know And yeah, maybe they

558
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,680
don't know every single different scenario on how they can

559
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,839
get in down to the exact science of it all,

560
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,599
but they're generally aware. They know, they're firing, they're blasting,

561
00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:22,640
they're constantly bugging you, and that tells me that they care. Right.

562
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,039
Speaker 2: So, if we.

563
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:32,519
Speaker 1: Created a PGT Championship event, we, as in the company,

564
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:37,720
you know, created this PGT Championship event that ultimately numbers

565
00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:44,200
grow and the the want to, the desire to get

566
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,720
into it grows, and it's there and it's palpable and

567
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:50,680
you can feel it, then we're at least on the

568
00:29:50,759 --> 00:29:53,759
right track. Do we have things to improve, sure, of course,

569
00:29:53,799 --> 00:29:57,839
who doesn't. That said, you know, I think we've done

570
00:29:57,839 --> 00:30:01,480
a really good job and I'm really excited for the

571
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,079
stuff that we can put into motion for the next season, which,

572
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,279
you know, as I alluded to a little bit earlier,

573
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,359
is coming up in about a week or a week

574
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,240
and a half or whatever it is.

575
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: With the does this schedule?

576
00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:15,759
Speaker 1: Yeah you, but I'm all for it, so I think

577
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:18,799
it's great. As for the PGT Championship, do you want

578
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:21,920
to let everyone know that if you are unaware it

579
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,599
kicks off on Friday, it will start streaming on poker

580
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:31,160
grot starting at four thirty Vegas time, that's seven thirty

581
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,319
pm on the East Coast. Take it all the way

582
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:36,799
down to a final table is reached. Do you know

583
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:39,319
if they plan on stopping at seven or six? Because

584
00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:41,799
six are paying, they pay six, Okay, so you'll see

585
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:44,839
the bubble on day one. Got day one, See the

586
00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:47,359
bubble on day one, they'll stop at six. Those six

587
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,359
will come back on the next day. Six people cash

588
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:55,200
from this event. There are a maximum of fifty players

589
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:59,960
in the PGT Championship, so million dollar thre year roll max.

590
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,880
Some fifty players. That puts you know the value of

591
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,400
each seat at twenty thousand dollars. Now, there's probably gonna

592
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,160
be I don't know, three to four people that don't

593
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,240
show up, or that's my estimate at least. You know,

594
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,279
we've just had that in past years. That's why I'm

595
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:19,359
saying that so you know, the value is a little

596
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,440
bit over twenty k overall, and then if you want

597
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,240
to break it down based on chip stack, you know,

598
00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:25,960
the value is probably a little bit more for someone

599
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,200
like a Jeremy Osmus because he starts with the most chips.

600
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,759
Values a little bit less for the people that come

601
00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:31,599
in with thee hundred big blinds. But you know, it

602
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,440
all kind of averages out to right around twenty K,

603
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,599
five hundred thousand dollars. First place prize, it is a

604
00:31:37,599 --> 00:31:40,799
little bit top heavy, but that's the point. Second place

605
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:43,720
is what two hundred yep. Yeah, so I mean let's

606
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,759
go I mean the one year when Jason Coon wanted

607
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:50,519
it was winner take all five hundred k, right, yeah, yeah,

608
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:53,079
so keep this same, I mean we yeah, we'll keep

609
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:56,000
the first prize the same, but the price pool did

610
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000
get bumped up. So yeah, great stuff, great, great stuff.

611
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,839
I'm really looking forward to it. I'm certainly gonna watch

612
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,039
it all. I'm gonna have Ali Najade and Jesse Sylvia

613
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,039
on the call for commentary. Jeff Platt will be on

614
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:12,319
the sidelines, So tune in if that's your thing, and

615
00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:14,279
I would hope that's your thing if you're listening to

616
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,160
the Poker Go Podcast. Just know that that largely Tim

617
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:21,880
myself on a smaller scale, put a lot of time

618
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,319
and effort, as does everyone at the company into the

619
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:27,240
Poker Go Tour. So if you guys can support us

620
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:31,440
by tuning in, that would you be very much appreciated.

621
00:32:31,559 --> 00:32:34,559
We are very grateful for that, So definitely tune in again.

622
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:37,079
That's Friday, starting at four thirty Vegas times when the

623
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:38,799
stream will start taking it all the way down till

624
00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:41,839
the final six is reached. All right, sir, you and

625
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,759
I Fantasy time, Baby, we're doing this. We're doing it.

626
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,640
I got the document ready. We're gonna do twelve hundred

627
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,759
big blinds. So here's what Tim and I are doing.

628
00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:57,599
We're gonna draft six players each from the list of

629
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,480
players that are eligible to compete in the PGT Million

630
00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:05,319
Dollar Championship. We chose six because there's six spots that

631
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,160
pay out in this event. But we're gonna put it

632
00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:12,599
a cap on starting big blinds and we each have

633
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,319
twelve hundred that we can work with. So that means

634
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:17,799
if you want to draft Jeremy Osmas.

635
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: Can we dobble up?

636
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:19,279
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

637
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: Can we drop the same person.

638
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: No, no, what do you know?

639
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:25,039
Speaker 2: It's like one of those No, okay.

640
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: No, like so, I don't know. Do you want to

641
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,480
go first? Do you want the next two? You decide?

642
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,599
Speaker 2: Oh, snake with snake in it? Take the next two?

643
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:36,839
All right? Cool?

644
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,799
Speaker 1: Jeremy Osmas? How many big blinds does he have?

645
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: Three?

646
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:43,319
Speaker 1: Three fifty?

647
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:44,119
Speaker 2: All right?

648
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: Euro up, sir, there's.

649
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,279
Speaker 2: No, we're not. We don't want to make any conditions

650
00:33:48,319 --> 00:33:51,119
like you gotta choose. No, you have to. You have to.

651
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,039
Speaker 1: Look, I have eight to fifty left to work with.

652
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: Yah, I get it. I just thought, okay, we might

653
00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:56,359
be forced to take like a dream scene or something.

654
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: Should we do even less? But let's do a thousand

655
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,480
big line? Fuck it right, okay, let's just make it

656
00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:07,400
harder on us. So I got six fifty left to

657
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,360
work with. All right, you're up, sir. Two pick two?

658
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,519
Speaker 2: Seth Davies?

659
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: Wow, what's he got? Three thirty? Ye?

660
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:24,519
Speaker 3: Okay?

661
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,599
Speaker 2: Nick Schulman, Nick, I'm going all over the place. I'm

662
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,519

743
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,159
been here playing and things just haven't worked out. I

744
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:38,800

00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,039
you gonna do? But but yeah, he's like he's like

746
00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:44,960

ripped off that massive win down Wispy Paradise in Bahamas,

750
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,440
Like he has the ability to do it. Yes, it

751
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:59,079
just yeah on whatever whatever reason variants, it just hasn't

752
00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:02,199

753
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,880
All right, it's on me. I'm going with the guy

Speaker 2: You're looking at Alan Key? Are you looking at Alan Kenny?

759
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: Alan Key is going to be out in one like

00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,920
I mean, you can say that it really about anyone

777
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:28,760

778
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:31,239

Speaker 2: Yes, I have five five points on the table. That's

783
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,440
pretty bad, but I mean it's bad drafting.

784
00:40:43,679 --> 00:40:45,079
Speaker 1: Of course, it's always bad drafting.

785
00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:51,280

Speaker 2: Good one. That's actually a pretty good one. I tell

826
00:42:57,639 --> 00:43:01,400
you who's going to be the last one here? Jim Collopy.

827
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,159
Speaker 1: Really you think he's gonna be the last one.

828
00:43:03,199 --> 00:43:06,039
Speaker 2: He's always the last one, you know events him and

829
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:09,079
the Foxes normally goes Foxes and then call it.

830
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, but I feel like this event's a little different.

831
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:14,440
I mean, they'll they'll kind of be here.

832
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,199
Speaker 2: You would hope, so, but.

833
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: Who knows are chips in play from the start.

834
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,679
Speaker 2: No, they are not going to play from the start. Oh, interesting,

835
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:23,880
but you do lose chips.

836
00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:25,159
Speaker 1: Oh, they do the thing.

837
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, take roundom blinds.

838
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,599
Speaker 1: Off, and then what seat draw is? Just like when

839
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:32,079
you show up you get a seacrd type of thing.

840
00:43:32,159 --> 00:43:33,360
I wish we did the seat draws.

841
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna we'll touch on this to

842
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,519
the very end episode. Some changes already kind of planned.

843
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this goes into like some of the improvements for

844
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,119
next year. Next year, we're doing like a seat draw

845
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,679
show pre game. Whatever the hell you and I let's

846
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:45,920
do it.

847
00:43:46,119 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: Sure, the dream seat winners from the Dream Seat Invitational

848
00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:51,880
plus Derek the wrong good dream seat winning they are

849
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,480
all one at every table.

850
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:57,039
Speaker 1: So also it's like a meetup game.

851
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, one kind of reverse meetup game. They're one at

852
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,000
every table, and then the remaining players in the field

853
00:44:04,159 --> 00:44:06,440
can draw from the open seats like a normal high

854
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,840
roller tournament. Chips are not in play. If you arrive late,

855
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,880
you can draw from all the tables. Blah blah blah blah.

856
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,119
You want to talk about next season?

857
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: What about next season?

858
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,679
Speaker 2: The next championship? Something changes I have planned?

859
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,599
Speaker 1: You know, are these like locked in or are these

860
00:44:20,679 --> 00:44:22,880
you throwing them out there? As these are?

861
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,599
Speaker 2: Since I am the decision making ninety nine percent lockdown.

862
00:44:26,639 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: Until until I tell you how stupid they are, then

863
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,519
you will change your mind. No, go ahead, tell me

864
00:44:31,559 --> 00:44:31,920
your idea.

865
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: The first one is h hate it. Go ahead. Donny

866
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,719
Peters has a dream seat. Oh well, okay, we'll kill

867
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:38,039
that one.

868
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: I hate it. I don't want to I don't want

869
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:40,440
to know.

870
00:44:40,599 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 2: No, we're gonna have a new role entering PGT Last

871
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,440
Chance next season. If you're in the top forty, you

872
00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:48,800
need to opt in to playing. What that means is,

873
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,000
you know, we have some people that have voiced that

874
00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:54,719
they are definitely not coming ah their seat.

875
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,519
Speaker 1: If they said, I draft anyone, that's you're good, You're good,

876
00:44:57,519 --> 00:45:00,039
you're good, trying to get one over on your No,

877
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:00,639
definitely not.

878
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: I don't need to get on.

879
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, Jimmy Osmars isn't coming in a Daniel.

880
00:45:07,679 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: And Daniel they're sitting out this on. Yeah. No. But basically,

881
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:13,280
before Last Chance, if you say hey, I cannot attend,

882
00:45:13,679 --> 00:45:17,719
your seat will be open. Currently, if you qualify through

883
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,679
the top forty, your you know your seat is in play.

884
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,000
You know Adrian Mataos, He's not coming due to some

885
00:45:24,119 --> 00:45:28,199
travel issues, so unfortunately we cannot replace him because that's

886
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,320
the way the structure is written. So that's one rule

887
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,679
I'll change so that we can have a full top

888
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,320
forty of eligible players. And the other thing I'm going

889
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,960
to change is kind of what you just touched on.

890
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:41,239
Will you know, the current structure builds in the random

891
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,960
seat draw on the day. We will change that to

892
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:48,559
have some production flexibility is the phrase I want to use.

893
00:45:48,639 --> 00:45:51,039
So maybe we can do it live on the show.

894
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,719
We can do it on this podcast, or do it

895
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,000
on a YouTube show. We just have we can have

896
00:45:56,119 --> 00:45:59,599
some flexibility to do a seat draw without the player's presence.

897
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,639
Speaker 1: Listen, we have this giant, eighty five thousand foot led wall.

898
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:07,719
I want World Cup esque, Like you know how they

899
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,880
do the groups. Well, those are the tables. Okay, you

900
00:46:11,039 --> 00:46:12,880
draw a name out and it goes up on the

901
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,599
screening balls yeah whatever, I don't care. It goes up

902
00:46:16,639 --> 00:46:18,480
on the screen. We see who's at table, and then

903
00:46:18,519 --> 00:46:21,039
they can do the whole you know, all the media

904
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:22,880
out there us including can be like, oh this is

905
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:23,840
the table of death.

906
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 2: This is the easiest one.

907
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: Over here. Oh, look at this, Look at that like

908
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,880
that'd be cool. And listen, the players don't have to

909
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,760
be here for it, right, We just do it and

910
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,400
then we release it and it's out there and everyone

911
00:46:35,599 --> 00:46:37,800
that has it can study and do whatever they want.

912
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 2: And the most important part of it, though, will you

913
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:42,400
wear a cowboy hat with me?

914
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: Hell?

915
00:46:43,039 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 2: No, I buy you a cowboy hat.

916
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,159
Speaker 1: No, I'm not wearing a cowboy hat.

917
00:46:46,199 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 2: If it's a PGT cowboy hat.

918
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: No, I don't want a PGT cowboy hat. I don't

919
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,880
want a cowboy you're the resident cowboy. Okay, you can

920
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,119
do that thing. I'm just the guy.

921
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe it should be a show with

922
00:46:59,039 --> 00:47:01,960
me and Jeff Platt. Then I need some real commitment.

923
00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:04,519
Speaker 1: That's fine. No one is more committed than me.

924
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,039
Speaker 2: No one is more committed than you just said. None

925
00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:09,880
of the cowboy hat though, Fuck the cowboy hat? What? No,

926
00:47:10,519 --> 00:47:11,159
listen to you, guys.

927
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,119
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this seat draw It's gonna be great. Okay,

928
00:47:14,199 --> 00:47:15,679
we're gonna do that. That'd be a cool thing.

929
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:16,599
Speaker 2: Talk about it.

930
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:18,519
Speaker 1: We can see how people stack up, like all that

931
00:47:18,599 --> 00:47:21,400
sort of stuff. I think it would definitely add some

932
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:27,239
entertainment value to the whole thing. So yeah, but in

933
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,920
that case, then you'd have to have people's chips and

934
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,039
play from the start, which is fine. I mean it's

935
00:47:32,039 --> 00:47:37,239
the same thing. Yes, you would, But they'll show up

936
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:38,079
on time for this event.

937
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they'll lose a couple of bones. It's okay.

938
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see anyone not showing up for this event.

939
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,519
So yeah, it's gonna be a good one. The PGT

940
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,079
Million Dollar Championship. I don't have anything else. Do you

941
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:55,239
have anything else? We talked about last Chance, we talked

942
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,000
about the PGT Million Dollar Championship. We got our fantasy

943
00:47:59,079 --> 00:48:02,360
teams on law. It's gonna be a sweet event. I

944
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,840
can't wait to Would you like to see win?

945
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 2: Not?

946
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of just partial to Ozmas because like he's

947
00:48:13,519 --> 00:48:17,119
been the best performing player, yeah, points wise, and by

948
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:19,559
quite a lot, by almost a thousand points, by nine

949
00:48:19,639 --> 00:48:23,440
hundred over the course of the season, so you know,

950
00:48:23,519 --> 00:48:26,840
it kind of feels like he should be the winner,

951
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,400
although I understand, I mean it's kind I mean, I

952
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,679
know the reason why we installed the Player of the

953
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,800
Year thing. It's like fantasy football. Your first place in

954
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,800
fantasy football in the regular season, then you just lose

955
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,079
the first round of the playoffs due to some random variants.

956
00:48:40,119 --> 00:48:42,719
Like that's kind of silly, right, you know. So the

957
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,639
two picks we award Jeremy Osmas PGT Player of the Year.

958
00:48:46,679 --> 00:48:49,519
He was the best performing player. But guess what, just

959
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:51,800
because you're the top seed doesn't necessarily mean you're winning

960
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,360
the super Bowl. You gotta get through everyone else. So, yes,

961
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,440
he is best positioned, he's got that home field advantage,

962
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,880
he's got the bye in round one. You know, yeah,

963
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,119
what if you did that for a change? You give

964
00:49:03,199 --> 00:49:08,480
the leader of they got to stack after the second level.

965
00:49:08,519 --> 00:49:08,960
I'm joking.

966
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll think about it.

967
00:49:11,199 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: I know.

968
00:49:11,599 --> 00:49:13,599
Speaker 2: Look, I agree with you, Jeremy Osmos. It would be

969
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,159
really ideal for him to win. You could even argue

970
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:19,440
daniel A grind or Seth Davies because they're second and

971
00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:21,280
third on the lead aboard. But I think it'd be

972
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,719
pretty cool. I got two names for you. He had

973
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,880
twenty cashes and zero wins. Jim Calapee another guy twenty

974
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,519
cash as zero win Sean Winter Sewn Winter also finished

975
00:49:31,559 --> 00:49:34,800
second to Jason Kuhn in the PGT Championship. When we

976
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,000
first did the five hundred K free roll. It'd be

977
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:39,639
pretty cool if their only wins for the season came

978
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,199
in the season any championship. That'd be kind of cool.

979
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,679
So they are my two outside picks. Yes, I like

980
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,000
you said, Osmus would be the preferred winner, and you

981
00:49:49,039 --> 00:49:52,280
know in the grinder Seth would be would be pretty

982
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:52,760
nice too.

983
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure I picked Osmas as player of

984
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,599
the Year at the beginning a year ago. I also

985
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:01,400
picked David Coleman his breakout player.

986
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 3: I believe.

987
00:50:03,199 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: I just want to point that out there that.

988
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,559
Speaker 2: I got a lot of you're gonna have to pull.

989
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: I will pull, I will pull the ta, I will

990
00:50:10,639 --> 00:50:14,960
pull the right here. I also think Kristin Foxon would

991
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,000
be a great winner. She's had a great year on

992
00:50:18,079 --> 00:50:22,920
the PGT twelve cashes one victory. Yeah, that's right, twelve

993
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,119
cash is one victory. She currently sits twelve, so she's

994
00:50:26,119 --> 00:50:28,800
gonna start with two hundred and seventy big blinds, So

995
00:50:29,039 --> 00:50:31,679
I think that that would be great. I mean then

996
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,639
there's just a lot of general firepower, of course, all

997
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,920
throughout this list, so it's going to be a very

998
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:42,760
very very fun event. Again, I can't wait. I said

999
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,559
that before I'll say it again. And I also hope

1000
00:50:44,559 --> 00:50:46,559
you know, one of these dreams he winners makes a run,

1001
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,960
