Technically a record too, depending how you look 20 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.599 at it. Listen, as much as you want to be 21 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.560 like most people in this industry, I will not let 22 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.319 you be like a lot of people in this industry. 23 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:17.000 We're going to keep it. 24 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.400 We're going to keep it one hundred here, all right, 25 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.680 That's how we're gonna do so, Yeah, four events in 26 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.319 the books. There are how many events are there total? 27 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.560 There's seven seven eventals seven events, So we're past the 28 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.840 halfway point. With the fourth event in the books. Chino 29 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:37.120 rem leads the way on the series leaderboard. China Rem 30 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.560 won the PGT Mixed Games before the second ever PGT 31 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.400 Mixed Games. Chino Reim was the winner. He just got 32 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.799 to win in event number four. It was wacky, It 33 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.040 was wild. It was crazy. At the end, him and 34 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.920 josh Aria were literally just flipping. We'll get to that 35 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.319 in a bit, but yeah, China Ream is up on 36 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.760 top of the leaderboard, a quite sizeable lead for him 37 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.719 as we head into the back half of the events. 38 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.920 First up the five K Horse, one hundred and thirty 39 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.599 entries out of the gate. Nicholas milgram I saw some 40 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.639 people calling him Nico. He topped Jerry Wong and heads 41 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.960 up play in that event to win the one hundred 42 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.960 and fifty nine thousand dollars first place prize. Then we 43 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.960 had the five K E Game Tournament. If you thought 44 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.439 one hundred and thirty entries for a mixed game event 45 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.479 was good, well, guess what one hundred and forty eight 46 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.319 The second time around for the A game tournament blew 47 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.199 that record out of the water. Adam Friedman wins it. 48 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.080 He beat tal Aviv in heads up play. Friedman took 49 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.120 home one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. Then set another 50 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.680 record in event number three in the ten K Horse 51 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.360 ninety five entries in that one. The record was set 52 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.120 for this one because it was a record for a 53 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.439 ten K. The other records were records for five ks. 54 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.280 Ryan Miller wins this one, tops Samuel Sternfield in heads 55 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.479 up play two hundred and forty seven K for him, 56 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.319 and then ninety two entries in the ten K eight 57 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.919 game tournament, Chino Reim came out on top. He ended 58 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.000 up chopping it with Josh are So prize money to 59 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.400 him as one hundred and ninety five thousand dollars. Him 60 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.360 and Josh just chopped it straight even, but they did 61 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.039 run a whole bunch of flips for the points and 62 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.400 Chino Reim ended up on top to get the win. 63 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.919 That puts China Reim on top of the series leaderboard 64 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.199 with three hundred and fifty three points. 65 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.560 So he's I mean, high points did he have when 66 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:24.120 he won the kid? 67 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:24.719 Yeah? 68 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.919 So that's the thing when well, let me say when 69 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.199 dan Zach won, he won the first ever Fiji tam 70 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.360 mix teams, he had three hundred and fifty two points. Okay, 71 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.319 when China won, he had three eighty eight. When Max 72 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.360 Hoffman won the last one, he had three thirty one. 73 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.479 So Gina Reim has three fifty three. He's ahead of 74 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.479 where dan Zach was, he's ahead of where Max Hoffman was, 75 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.000 and he's behind where he was. 76 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:50.319 So I mean, is anyone going to catch him? I mean, 77 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.360 three hundred fifty three points doesn't sound like a lot, 78 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:53.680 but he could. 79 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.479 Easily do it well with these numbers, you have to think, well, 80 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.319 we have a fifteen K Dealers Choice coming out, we 81 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.000 have the twenty five K ten Game Championship, probably gonna 82 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.080 be big fields, probably gonna be a lot of points. 83 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.400 So one of these guys that are sitting in the 84 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.360 top ten, and we got some pretty we got some 85 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.080 names that are gonna play every event. You know, you 86 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.199 got Benny Glass, you got David Funkasa, you got Nick Schulman, 87 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.439 Ryan Miller. All these guys are probably playing the next 88 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.759 couple events. So although Chino's lead we think is pretty good, 89 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.839 he has to keep keep battling away on it. 90 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.839 Yeah, So in e ve number five, which we're not 91 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.480 gonna touch on, well, we'll touch another bit today, but 92 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.240 event number five is the ten K Morris Mix. What 93 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.199 I want to hit on right now is that we 94 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.199 know the prize pool. We know there's two hundred and 95 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.120 ten thousand dollars per first place, which means that two 96 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.639 hundred and ten points are for grabs. So that would 97 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.759 mean one hundred and forty three points is what you 98 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.720 need right now. So of that, Nicholas Milgram, Adam Friedman, 99 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.439 josh A A. Nick Schulman, and Ryan Miller have enough. 100 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:55.680 Now. 101 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.240 Sam Sternfield also has enough. But we know that he 102 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.519 left for a couple of days. I come back for Monday. 103 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.600 He said, Yeah, he had a prior commitment that he 104 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.879 was going to duck out for go hang out with 105 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:06.959 some friends and then come back. 106 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.560 Might get back from Monday, might not put but we'll see. 107 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.000 So those players are all in immediate contention if they 108 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.759 were to win the Moreys Mix tournaments, and then of 109 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.560 course if anyone wins it, that has any point. So 110 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.639 we'll just get close to Chino, et cetera. So things 111 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.680 are heating up. So I ran through the numbers as 112 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.959 the series starts. I mean, what are you're the commissioner 113 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.279 you put this on. What are your thoughts record setting fields, 114 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.040 players that are here, et cetera, et cetera. 115 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:34.680 How do you feel? 116 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.720 I feel great. Obviously, these numbers are just are just fantastic. 117 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.439 We knew the numbers were going to be better than 118 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.920 a couple of the other series, we didn't weren't really 119 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.079 show how much better. The five k's are obviously going 120 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.000 to be just bigger fields in general, and we were 121 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.959 very impressed by the you know, the one hundred and thirty 122 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.199 and the one forty eight engines. We got in those 123 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.720 a lot of a lot of new faces, a lot 124 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.560 of new names, a lot of rags missing to chat 125 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.000 to some of the player is about, you know, where 126 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.199 this person was, where this person is? You know some 127 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.240 people coming in late. We saw two new arrivals, you know, 128 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:11.680 jump in today. So it's good to see the numbers thriving, 129 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.480 even without you know, ten ish players that we could 130 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.199 have easily counted on playing all these opening events. So 131 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.199 who you got, We're gonna throw some people on the 132 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.279 buses that you want me to do I. 133 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.439 Mean you could throw people under the bus. 134 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:24.680 You can say, I mean, you don't have to throw 135 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.319 them under the bus that you can just simply say 136 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.319 that they're not here. For example, Jeremie osmas is not 137 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.639 here because he's a trading cool Jeremie Osmina's won one 138 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:31.759 point eight million dollars today. 139 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:33.959 Love the guy well, and he's not walking back in 140 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:34.240 the year. 141 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.759 But you see, take a different approach tonight. 142 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.199 No, no, no, So the two biggest names are going to 143 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.720 give you Ellie Lezra and Joum Manette. John's only played 144 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.439 one event, Ellie's played two. You know, I was obviously 145 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.000 missing a few events. I know there is a big 146 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.279 cash game going on right now, but not today, right 147 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.120 I think that's why you have played today because there 148 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.319 was he might not add a seat. It's good you 149 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.519 get you got to lose some back. Yeah, that's so 150 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.639 that's that's taking some players away. You know, you've got 151 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.480 some some I would say mixed games. Stall Wat's like 152 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.000 Craig Chait played one event, then he went played the 153 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.160 full hundred at the Winds, so really going up and 154 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:12.199 down stakes in that. 155 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.519 Al Kessler played the first two five K's didn't play 156 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.480 after that was complaining in the poker Stack group chat 157 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.079 that a Poker State group chat that the structure is 158 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.759 to crap shooting. I mean that's what they're thought. Yeah, 159 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.079 I mean they're not. First of all, they're they're not 160 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.600 that crap shooting. Okay, first of all. Second of all, 161 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.959 you shouldn't really care that much when everyone is a 162 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.319 super elite player. So if you're not a super elite player, 163 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.319 then you should want a faster structure so there's more 164 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:44.199 gamble involved. 165 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:44.920 Okay. 166 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.040 Also, as I mentioned on stream and commentary with Remco 167 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.839 and Kevin Gerhart the other day, is that all PGT 168 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.920 numbers are continually to go up. Okay, you want to 169 00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.639 look at Triton, All those numbers are going up. You know, 170 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.240 you see a lot of events at smaller price points 171 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.360 where they've now transitioned to their structures where it's you 172 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.360 make the money at the end of the day, and 173 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.399 you know, you speed things up, like everything is kind 174 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.920 of everything in general is sped up, I feel like, 175 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.160 and the numbers of the field sizes are going up, 176 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.959 which tells me that people like it, or in the 177 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.879 very least they don't care enough to skip events. Like 178 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.480 so when you have tried in two day tournaments in 179 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.560 a twenty five k getting three hundred and ninety people 180 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.279 and all this sort of stuff. People don't care. So 181 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.919 like the fact that he has such a voice and 182 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.200 tries to have so much influence on these mixed game 183 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.039 structures is just not that's not what people want. 184 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:43.320 It's what he wants. 185 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.720 It's not what the people want because the people show 186 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.759 up and play the tournaments and he says, no thanks, 187 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.440 I'm gonna go play the four and at the win. 188 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.720 Like no, I've actually had a play come up to 189 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.080 me today asking to speed the structures up even more. So. 190 00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.840 I mean, honestly, these last two found tables took quite 191 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.440 a long time. Yeah, you know, I mean yesterday was 192 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.679 outrageously long. I mean not that it's bad, but I'm 193 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.519 just saying it was. It was very long for what 194 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.120 we're used to and that's just how I mean, that's 195 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:08.519 how it is. 196 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.679 Look, every every players can play whatever they want. They 197 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.639 have the choice to do and attend any events. We 198 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.919 put on a series that is meant to be a 199 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.480 little quicker, little trouble. So you know, we're trying to 200 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.519 basically make these one and a half day events. 201 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.679 Now does Alan Caster honestly like the four hundred? What 202 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.480 did he play at the wins four hundred? I love 203 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.960 the win, I love the structures over there. I would 204 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.799 say not, don't change it, but like that's not a 205 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:33.679 crapshoot at the end. 206 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.399 I don't know. I haven't looked at the structure. 207 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.480 It's not we're not playing a four horse term but 208 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.399 that takes six days. You're just not doing it. I mean, 209 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.559 if they all get fast. 210 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.399 Sure, if he wants to play the ten k horse 211 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.799 that takes four days, well, the World Series is three 212 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.519 months away, but there are people that are you know, 213 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.799 let's let's think about the two Aussies that came here. 214 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.480 What if they come here to play like six events 215 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.279 over three weeks. Maybe not. You know, this is built 216 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:58.799 to be kind of in and out. You get you 217 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.799 kind of fix, you get your action, and you know 218 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.799 you can win a quarter million in a day and 219 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.399 a half. That's kind of the point behind these. The 220 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.639 schedule's not super long, so you can't go superbust though, 221 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.240 but we're trying to. We're in that niche of you know, 222 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.639 faster structures. You know, our product is obviously getting to 223 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.799 the final table so we can stream. It doesn't fit everyone, 224 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.480 it obviously appeals to a lot of other players, you know, 225 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.240 so it's hard to middle it, you know, if we're 226 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.039 trying to be perfect here, but we're doing our best 227 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.279 and the numbers show that, you know, people do enjoy this. Now, 228 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.320 could we have got a few more players if we 229 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.759 made it a three day event, most likely could have 230 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:36.720 also lost a chunkle players, you never know, definitely going 231 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.519 to lose some players. 232 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.600 Yeah, I mean that's like, that's without question. 233 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.840 So I think that's probably a wash, if not more 234 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.879 negative than positive in terms of the numbers. So yeah, 235 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:51.759 I think these events are great as is. And you know, 236 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:53.960 I think we're always going to look at the data 237 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.080 and say, Okay, are things going up or are things 238 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.480 going down? 239 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.799 How can we improve? You know? 240 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.879 And things are going up, so it would tell me 241 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.399 we're doing something right, you know. And you know, as 242 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.159 you mentioned, we lost a bunch of players you know 243 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.080 that are maybe they're at Triton, maybe they just didn't come, 244 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.559 Maybe they're you know, into a playing game, and yeah, 245 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.679 maybe they're not rolled to play the ten k's because 246 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.720 they didn't have any success in the five ks whatever. 247 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.840 It may be, you know, but still numbers are very 248 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:22.320 very good. 249 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:22.679 Yeah. 250 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.840 And I also like the fact that walking through the 251 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.240 field out there, you see a lot of new faces, 252 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.440 which tells us that, like we're building something with the 253 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.440 mixed game series that people want to come and compete 254 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:35.240 at exactly. 255 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.440 So that's like the most important thing to me. 256 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.519 I also do want to point out, just speaking of 257 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.399 the numbers quickly, I know we talked about the poker 258 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.399 gro Cup satellite had one hundred and forty two entries, 259 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.320 which was absolutely bananas. The satellite for this had eighty 260 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.840 five entries and gave out ten seats to the five 261 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.519 K and then eleventh got you know, forty two five. 262 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.480 So you know, satellites are booming as well as it 263 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.360 relates to the PGT. So things are just pretty great 264 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:02.240 all around, even though you, mister Commissioner, continue to be 265 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.080 miss miss Debbie Downer over there on the numbers. Every 266 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.679 time I ask you, you say, oh, it's not going 267 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.440 to do this, it's not going to do that. You 268 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.399 have already said that USPO is just not going to 269 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.039 be as good. Yeah, your bluff. It's gonna be freaking bananas, 270 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.600 have top set. It's gonna be bananas. 271 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.159 It's good. 272 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.279 It's good. It's gonna be huge. 273 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.519 You're gonna need a bigger studio, that's what you That's 274 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.120 what you're gonna You're gonna need a bigger studio like 275 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:26.879 in Jaws. And I say, you're gonna need a bigger boat. Yep, 276 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.519 You're gonna need a bigger studio. What else stands out 277 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.519 to you so far besides the numbers. I mean, that's 278 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.720 the biggest story. There's nothing, nothing more than that. 279 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.799 To me. It's just the numbers. And were kind of 280 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.039 talked about the new faces, the new names. You know, 281 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.600 we had a couple of Wazzi's come out here. We 282 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.519 got some Europeans. We've got Andy McLeod, James Obbs from Australia. 283 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.519 That's that I think is pretty big. He was kind 284 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.799 of a last minute, yeah, last minute flew in. You know, 285 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:52.919 we have people rolling in today. We had the great 286 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.919 Jason mess here and John Rasa flying and jump in 287 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.039 the Mary's mix. We got you know, Phil Stenheimer and 288 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.240 I believe I would die. He coming in this weekend 289 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.000 to play the back end of the series. So hoping 290 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.039 the dealer's choice, you know, we op the buying on that, 291 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.320 Let's see how that kind of goes. Let's see how 292 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.240 the ten game goes. Can we set some records in 293 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.720 the ten game event and be what we've done previously. 294 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.360 And then obviously this all leads into the the hundred 295 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.960 inaugural one hundred thousand dollars buying super high rollable mix games. 296 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:25.360 I'll get to that in a second, because I do 297 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.480 want to touch on that hundred K buying super high 298 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.360 leable mixed games. But I do want to ask you 299 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:34.440 about Maury's Mix, which is right game which is named 300 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.679 after Maury es Candani. Okay, but it wasn't originally going 301 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:38.799 to be named that. It was going to be called 302 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.840 the Commissioner's Mix RCT. You thought people might revolt with 303 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.480 you with you putting your job title on it, so 304 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:46.879 you decided to name it Mory's Mix. 305 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:47.440 I love it. 306 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:47.799 Yeah. 307 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:49.519 I talked about on the last. 308 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.720 Podcast how I think the WSP should do this sort 309 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:53.200 of thing with like the Player of the Year award. 310 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:54.039 I think that that's great. 311 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:54.639 Yeah. 312 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:59.600 Now it is rather a unique mix. Correct, It's six games. 313 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:04.960 They're all all high games one winter games, but they're 314 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.000 all one winners. 315 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.600 One winning games, limit one winning games. 316 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:11.080 I mean what, first of all, tell the people what 317 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.000 the mix is, and then second of all, tell me, like, 318 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.960 how do you think the people the players are receiving 319 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:16.320 the mix. 320 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.080 So the mix is basically two flop two draw two started. 321 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.000 We played limit hold Them, We played Limit Omaha High, 322 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.000 We play rasin stud and then we play but Dooogie 323 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.879 andduce to seven triple draw. The guys love the mix 324 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.720 except for one game, and that one game is Omaha 325 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.879 High because no one plays Limit Omaha High anywhere except 326 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.120 for the Crown Casino and Showia. 327 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.399 Now people don't play the Crome Cosine. It's just crone. 328 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:46.080 Okay, shout out Natasha. The reason I put this is 329 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:47.919 in was just to balance the mix. You know, the 330 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.440 two flop two start two draw. We could have obviously 331 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.519 switched to Omaha High for ace to five or something 332 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:54.840 like that, but. 333 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.480 What are the two flames hold them at all? 334 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.440 Yeah? Okay, And you know it felt like it was 335 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.799 something different. We wanted a kind of a blood mix, 336 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.480 which was you know where obviously there's a lot of 337 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.879 pain because it's there's all scoops. In return, we did 338 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.200 give players more starting chips to balance the bloodiness of 339 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.919 the games, and you know what, a lot of people 340 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.320 voice concerns about omahaha not wanting to play on Omaha Hi. 341 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:22.519 We saw people playing it complaining, busting immediately re entering. 342 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.360 So they either they've just here to play Mix and 343 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.279 they want to play Mix, or you know, it's not 344 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.639 that awful, it's you know, we're trying something different. You know, 345 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.600 we trying to figure out what works. We tried Triple Start, 346 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.759 we've tried Big Bet Mix. Those two kind of got 347 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.279 put on the chopping block. This was our next attempt. 348 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.320 The players have supported it pretty well. Now I'm not 349 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.759 saying that it will be in next year, but when 350 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.960 you have seventy entrants, I think that's extremely good for 351 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.279 a very you know, unique mix with a game that's 352 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:59.639 not played nearly anywhere like at all. So that's kind 353 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.080 of the idea about it. Yes, I named after Maury 354 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.919 mainly so people will protesting me and they kind of 355 00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:08.600 have to come in and play and honor Maury. And 356 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.840 also it's a way to get Maury into the tournaments 357 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.639 because he hasn't played all series, but he had some 358 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.159 free time today being Saturday. And also the fact that 359 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.720 it's named after him, that he was able to jump in, 360 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.879 and you know what, he's currently the chip latest, so. 361 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.720 It's all this could be a pretty pretty wild way 362 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.159 to have this event if he can take Maury's mix down. 363 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.559 So I was talking with Kevin Garhard on today's stream 364 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.559 saying that, you know, we were kind of running over 365 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:37.720 the tournament as it was happening to update people. But 366 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.440 it just made me think that, you know, I know 367 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.519 we've done obviously the Big Bet Mix, as you mentioned, 368 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:46.480 we've done that, the Stud Mixed Triple Stud, We've done that. Like, 369 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.759 I feel like there's a good amount of the events 370 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.879 that are like basically locked in. Like I like, I 371 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.519 love the schedule how it is now, Like you have 372 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.360 the five K horse five K game and then you 373 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.559 have ten k's of those, you have a fifteen K 374 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.320 dealer choice, you have the twenty five K ten game. 375 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.080 But what I'm getting is I like having like one 376 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.279 tournament where you kind of change it up every year. 377 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:06.559 You switch it up. 378 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:08.839 Yeah, you know, like this Mory's mix. Fine, you know, 379 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.000 maybe maybe it's still called Morri's Mix next time, but 380 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.400 it's just different mix. Yeah, you know, different idea, you 381 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.880 know whatever. It is, like kind of just just mix 382 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.519 it up all the time. The main reason behind it was, 383 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.079 you know, we're coming off Horse. In the mix world, 384 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.200 people were very like, you know, if you've got the 385 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.400 Andrew Kelso, the ODB Baker, they'll play everything, but you 386 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.000 do have players are very specific to to the Horse 387 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.839 eight game formats versus say the Dealer's Choice where there's 388 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.119 a lot of draw games but do see Bideci all 389 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.920 that stuff. So we wanted an event before we hit 390 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.759 the Dealer's Choice in the ten Game Championship that would 391 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.599 keep these Horse eight game players around for one more event. 392 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.279 And we felt obviously you got hold them, you got 393 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.799 raz you got starred, you know, Deuce to seven triple drawers, 394 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.240 the one draw game. It definitely is very sync to 395 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.279 Horse when you you know, you play these toss or 396 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.359 force mixers and you just. 397 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.240 Add Badugi and you add omaha, Hi, it's all limit. 398 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.359 We felt that there would be enough to carry through 399 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.160 and we didn't see that much of it, but we 400 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.799 saw a little bit, and at this stage I would 401 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.880
