We wanted 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,960 to get this one out of the way before we 12 00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:54,439 get into PGT.

A lot of fun stuff coming 24 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,319 in from the last episode when we did the PGT 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,040 Players Equals This wrestler got a lot of different messages, 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,799 talking to a lot of different people that we saw 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,359 in the studio and whatnot. Everyone had their kind of opinions, 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,640 so that was fun. A couple people, they were not 29 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,560 a couple. One person one negative review and it was 30 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Matt Savage the only negative review. Yeah, I didn't hear 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,200 any other negative reviews, did you exactly? 32 00:01:58,239 --> 00:01:59,719 Speaker 2: So just I mean, it's just a height. 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: It sounds like it's a problem with that versus a 34 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,200 problem with what we're doing here. But the gimmick was fun. 35 00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:09,319 I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Let's 56 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,360 get into this PGT Bounty Blitz, which I kept like 57 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:21,120 writing and talking and saying and whatever, kept calling it 58 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,280 the Bounty series, and I had like delete stuff and 59 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,000 correct myself. I'll probably stumble over my own words a 60 00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,800 few times throughout this episode, but we'll see if we 61 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,960 can get on through first everone mm hmm. I would 62 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,400 say that we took a chance to do this series, 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,800 and we'll talk about some of the results. But first 64 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,159 and foremost, mister Jeremi Becker, the guy who at the 65 00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:50,360 win a couple days ago told us he might not play. 66 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,199 Speaker 2: The series, doesn't. 67 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:55,199 Speaker 1: Hates bounties, never plays them, doesn't do well on them, 68 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,000 so he doesn't like to play them. All that sort 69 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,680 of stuff. He comes out here, not only does he play, 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,599 he final tables not one, not two, not three, not four, 71 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,199 but five of the six tournaments. Five he won the 72 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,680 first one, he had, the second place in another one. 73 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,479 He just finished third in the final event. I mean, 74 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,560 the guy absolutely destroyed. I believe he cashed for around 75 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,480 one hundred and thirty five to one hundred and forty 76 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,360 thousand dollars total when you include the bounty money that 77 00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:23,800 he won. 78 00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:26,319 Speaker 2: How many points did he finish with? Picked up one 79 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:27,759 hundred and eighty five points. 80 00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty five points for his quest towards 81 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,560 qualification for the season ending PGT Million Dollar Championship, which 82 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,240 he seems to think he's drawing dead. But I don't 83 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,560 think he's drawing dead. There are plenty of events left 84 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,519 on the schedule if he's able to just rip off 85 00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:43,399 one of the big ones. 86 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,759 Speaker 2: You know, if he, let's say. 87 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,439 Speaker 1: Wins PGT Venetian or you know, wins the five K 88 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,759 showcase opener for Poker Masters, or even like final tables 89 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,399 those you know, that could be a couple hundred points 90 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,399 or so. Yeah, and then he's you know, right there 91 00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:59,680 in the mix of things. There's plenty of stuff at 92 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,439 Poker Masters, the true classic, rags to riches. There is 93 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,279 stuff in Texas if he wants to go down there 94 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,560 and gam wants some plot napt stuff. He was there 95 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,519 last year. I would expect him to be there this year. 96 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,879 Maybe he's not playing the fifty k, but I think 97 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,480 the other stuff he can certainly be in there. I 98 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,199 think on this year's NABT they have a twelve k 99 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,800 quattro they do, and now that he's mister Bounty, I 100 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,800 mean he needs to go in there and just show 101 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,600 everyone what's up. 102 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: So there's that. 103 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: So he's got plenty of last chance as well. He's 104 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,000 got plenty of He's got absolutely plenty of stuff. So yeah, 105 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,480 five final tables total almost one hundred and forty thousand dollars. 106 00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 2: One. 107 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:41,879 Speaker 1: He added one hundred and eighty five eighty three whatever 108 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:44,959 the heck it was PGT leaderboard points. So I mean, 109 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,279 just absolutely on fire as of late is Jeremie Becker. 110 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,519 He won the opening event for a total of fifty 111 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,920 five thousand, six hundred dollars. You know, even though the 112 00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:58,519 field sizes here, which we'll talk about in a little bit, 113 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,199 I'm gonna put the commissioner on the hot seat. Oh, 114 00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:03,319 not not really on the hot seat, but I mean 115 00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,199 the hot seat. But it's not going to be that hot. 116 00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:07,639 All the fields izes weren't that big, allthough the prize 117 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,720 pools weren't that huge. You know, Becker did enjoy a 118 00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:13,160 lot of success, and he really did become the story 119 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,079 of the series. Both, you know, people following along. I 120 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:19,360 know that they were, you know, tuning in on the streams, 121 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,160 they were talking about on social media, we were talking 122 00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:26,240 about it in various group chats in the tournament room. 123 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,600 You know, they were you know, busting his balls NonStop 124 00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,519 about how hot he's running, all this sort of stuff. 125 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,519 So Jeremy Becker very much the story of the series. 126 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,360 Do you think, mister Commissioner, that a run like this 127 00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:41,639 helps Jeremy, you know, build more momentum as like a 128 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:43,959 breakout name on the PGT do you or I mean, 129 00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:45,759 do you even think he's like still a breakout name 130 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,120 or is he fully arrived? Like, well, what do you 131 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,040 think this does for him? 132 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: No? I think he has fully arrived. We I was 133 00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:55,759 chatting the other day, and he is one of the 134 00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,040 highest volume players, you know. 135 00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,079 Speaker 1: But that's also why I was that he didn't have 136 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,600 like he had like sixty five points or something. 137 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,759 Speaker 2: He just haven't gone his way this season. But like 138 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,199 he has played literally every Noliman hold them event we've run. 139 00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:13,319 You know, he doesn't play plow, doesn't play mix, so 140 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,399 he obviously loses opportunities there. So he's definitely not a 141 00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:20,720 breakout star. He's definitely been here. He's here, and I 142 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,000 think this run, you know, not a lot of points, 143 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680 you know, you know, one hundred and something thousand dollars 144 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,279 in winnings. I think it gives him a little bit 145 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:31,680 of confidence, a little bit of momentum going into Venetian, 146 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:35,000 going into Poker Masters, where you know, he could potentially 147 00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:38,319 pick up maybe he picks up four hundred points with 148 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,439 you know, another an assortment of cashes and and now 149 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,279 he's you know, within shriking distance of that top forty. 150 00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:48,000 He's now one more big cash outside of qualifying. So 151 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:50,319 I think it's pretty good for him. Is the momentum. 152 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,720 You know, if he came here bricked everything, you know, 153 00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:56,079 fired a bunch of bullets and nothing resulted. That confidence 154 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,480 would have been kind of, you know, at an all 155 00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:00,439 time low for the PGT event. So maybe don't see 156 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,279 him blasting the Master's Venetian Evans and you know, everything 157 00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:06,000 else upcoming. So I think this is a good for him. 158 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,439 Hopefully the results do go his way. You know, he's 159 00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:10,920 he's bitched the mind a few times about missing the 160 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,519 championship last year and it being my fault. So hopefully 161 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,079 we can get away. 162 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't understand that comment. Why was it your fault? 163 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: What we changed the rules this year? Is it because 164 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,800 of the eligibility thing? Eligibility thing? 165 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't your fault. Those were the rules 166 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,319 and some people selected not to show up. 167 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,879 Speaker 2: What he would do? You know, he likes to blame 168 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,319 me and things. He wants to blame me. Why there 169 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,240 wasn't a Player of the Series trophy? You know, why 170 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:36,360 was there a Player of the series exactly? Why was 171 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,360 there not money for Player of the Series. So you know, 172 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,039 it's always my fault. It is, it is always your fault. 173 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,639 Speaker 1: I do think that if if you did, I'm not 174 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,120 sure I would have done a Player of the Series 175 00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:50,440 for this one, I would have entertained a like top 176 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,120 bounty hunter. 177 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,039 Speaker 2: So like the person who is one of the most 178 00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:54,960 bounties something. 179 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: Either either either accumulated the most bounties or accumulated the 180 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,480 most bounty dollars. I know what the dollars thing. There 181 00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:05,960 is a bit more luck involved with the mystery bounty element, 182 00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:08,200 but still, you know, either one of those I think 183 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360 could have just been fun, right, you know, and it 184 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,159 doesn't necessarily have to be a big prize. I would 185 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:15,000 have liken that sort of prize to when you did 186 00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:17,519 that Chip Leader bonus. Yeah, you know, that was kind 187 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:19,960 of just a fun little thing. So I would have 188 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,799 thought something like this. Not that Jeremy would have won it, 189 00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:24,000 because he didn't learn a single bounty that I saw. 190 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,799 I mean, he did, but it didn't seem like he 191 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,600 ever won bounties. He was constantly complaining about not getting 192 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:29,759 a ton of bounties. 193 00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: Bounties did not go in He's a direction. 194 00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:36,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, But overall, Jeremie Becker moves up to 195 00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:38,960 two hundred and thirty seven points on the season. That 196 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,799 puts him in two hundred and fourteenth place, which may 197 00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:45,039 seem like it's far away from the top forty. But 198 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,960 the top forty right now, fortieth place is Ben Lamb 199 00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:53,039 eight eighty seven, so he's around six point fifty away 200 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,600 from Ben Lamb. So getting into the top forty, which 201 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,639 is you know, people get like if the leader board 202 00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:02,480 winner of Poker Masters is going to get around six 203 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,559 to fifty if not more, right, like, you know, I 204 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,360 mean that person's going to get between five hundred to 205 00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:09,480 one thousand, I would say so, and especially this year 206 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:13,080 because you added two events. Last year was eight events 207 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,519 for Poker Masters. This year, we're going back to ten, 208 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:19,200 so there's you know, some additional tournaments to get in there. 209 00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:21,919 I think that opener of the showcase is like right 210 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,320 up Jeremy's alley too, you know, Like I think that's 211 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,240 going to be right in his wheelhouse for the stuff 212 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,159 that he excels in. 213 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: So, you know, I don't. 214 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: Think he's drawing dead, even though he might think he's 215 00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:32,919 drawing dead. You know, I think he just needs to 216 00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:37,720 buckle down and trust the process, because, like you said, 217 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,039 he is in here grinding all these events. He clearly 218 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,679 has what it takes to compete with these guys who 219 00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:46,440 you know, a lot of these players in here are 220 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,440 some of the best players in the world, you know. 221 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,679 But Jeremy has proven I think now the past couple 222 00:10:51,759 --> 00:10:54,519 of seasons that he does belong. You know, he's still here, 223 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,679 he's showing up, he's having success. So yeah, just keep 224 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,919 at it, man, just keep at it. 225 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: There's also least six opportunities for him to win a 226 00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,840 dream seat and be fast checking the championship, giving one 227 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,519 away at the napt if you finish on top of 228 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,159 that lead aboard, you know, eight events there that qualify 229 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,759 for the PGT and then we're doing five for PGT 230 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,000 Lost Chance. So he could easily just win a PGT 231 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,080 lost Chance event and be on the top of the 232 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,879 leader board that way. He has got other methods to 233 00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:23,799 get in, as do you know everyone else out there, 234 00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:27,440 So he can't just give up now with the remaining 235 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,080 in the season. 236 00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:29,919 Speaker 1: And he's you know, he's some of what Jeremy does. 237 00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:31,919 Speaker 2: He's just busting balls like we all like to do. 238 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: So I know he's going to be gunning for it, 239 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,840 and I think I think he's going to get there, 240 00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:40,320 you know. Again, I just think that at some point 241 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,840 the variance has to go his way, which I think 242 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,320 this series, it really did start to go his way 243 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,600 in a lot of spots. I mean, he would have 244 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,240 had a better result had he won with those aces 245 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,480 vers Sergia Ido's kings and in the second event of 246 00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:57,879 the series at the final table. But you know there 247 00:11:57,919 --> 00:12:00,559 were other times when we saw him get lucky spots, 248 00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:03,679 so you know it goes both ways. But just the 249 00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:06,039 volume aspect, we know he's going to be here, He's 250 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,159 going to be playing all of our events. You know, 251 00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:10,240 I think he's gonna he's gonna do it. So a 252 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,000 couple more results go his way, and you know Jeremy's 253 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,720 going to be in the top forty if not knocking 254 00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,519 on the door. And then come that Last Chance Series, 255 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,159 you know it's gonna be game. 256 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,879 Speaker 2: On other winners. 257 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: You know, we mentioned that Jeremy Becker won the opening 258 00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:29,840 event for what was fifty five thousand, six hundred dollars, 259 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,919 and we also had Sergerio Ido won the second event 260 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:37,240 for looks like sixty he looks like seventy thousand, No, 261 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,919 sixty nine thousand, sixty nine thousand dollars or right or 262 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,799 right around there.

Sorry, my apologies. Jason Hickey, newcomer to 274 00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:18,320 the studio, came out here, played all series long, and 275 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,399 it finally came home for Jason Hickey in even number 276 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,399 five that was the Mystery Bounty. He won first place 277 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120 prize for fifty K, and then he took another forty 278 00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:33,919 seven thousand dollars in bounties, notably Anthony Marquez third place 279 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,240 in this one for twenty four thousand, seven hundred, but 280 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,399 sixty six k in bounties sixty six k. Once again 281 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,519 at a PGT mystery bounty event. The first bounty pulled 282 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,000 was the biggest bounty available. Wild stuff, absolutely wild stuff 283 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,759 in that one. And then this final event, the well, 284 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,360 it was a standard bounty, then it was changed to 285 00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:58,360 a quatro then it was changed again to a mystery 286 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:02,039 bounty was won by Sam Laskowitz. He defeated Andrew Lichtenberger 287 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,159 and Jeremie Berger got third in that one. Laskowitz took 288 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,879 home well, they made a deal, so I have no 289 00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:09,360 idea what he took home. They basically chopped up the 290 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:10,399 last two bounties. 291 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,879 Speaker 2: Chop the last of Banni. It was twenty five k 292 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,879 and a five k. They did ic him chump for that. 293 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,080 Then they played out for the rest Yeah Laska weight 294 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,639 so yeah chok on thirty six and a hop thousand 295 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,720 for the win plus thirty zero point sixty eight in bounties. Sweet, 296 00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,000 not bad, awesome. 297 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: The whole series minus the last event. The final tables 298 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,559 were live streamed on poker Goro and on the Poker 299 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Go YouTube channel, So if you missed them you want 300 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,039 to rewatch them, you guys can go find them there. 301 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: It was. 302 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: It was fun to see. I know it's no limit 303 00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:43,200 hold them, but the bounty element and the different bounty element, 304 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,240 I think through a through a wrinkle into things for 305 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,440 the players. You know, right away, like in the studio, 306 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,600 you could tell a lot of players aren't really familiar 307 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:55,879 with bounties and how to play them, and they were 308 00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:58,120 kind of figuring out, figuring it out as they go, 309 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,240 and they were asking a lot of questions and all 310 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:02,120 that sort of stuff. And then of course the bounties 311 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,639 were changing every single day. Like the first event was 312 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,399 just a standard bounty. Every time you knock them out, 313 00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:08,720 you get a two K bounty. The second one was 314 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,519 what a quatro no. Second one was the escalator, so 315 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:15,399 it was five hundred, then it was one thousand, then 316 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,799 it was like five K, a little bit over five k, 317 00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:19,919 depending on the stage of the tournament that you were at. 318 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Third one was the quatro So bounties kicked in when 319 00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,120 twenty five percent of the field those remaining and boundaries 320 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,320 were four x what they are in a standard boundary, 321 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,679 so budies were ak there. So that added some some 322 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,879 bigger bounties at play. You had a PKO as well. 323 00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:38,159 We've had pko's before, but PKO was in play here, 324 00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:40,559 and you had a mystery bounty as well, so you know, 325 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,279 a lot of different stuff that was going on. It 326 00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:45,960 was interesting again to see kind of people figure it out, 327 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,799 you know, be like, oh, should I call here, there's 328 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,360 the bounty? 329 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:50,399 Speaker 2: You know, what do I do? 330 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: The pay jumps are relatively small because the prize pool's 331 00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:55,559 got some money taken out to count for the bounty pool, 332 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,639 so all that sort of stuff. So yeah, check it out. 333 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,480 It's on pokergrow dot com. You can also find it 334 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,080 on the poker Go YouTube channel. 335 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: Five. 336 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,879 Speaker 1: Final tables they were pretty easy to two digest. I 337 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:06,279 think the longest one was around four hours, but other 338 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,960 than that, they were right around two hours each, so 339 00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:12,240 kind of in and out for those. So yeah, I 340 00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,440 think fun series is how I would describe it. Also 341 00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:17,679 good to try something new, but I would also say 342 00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:20,279 that it kind of fell short, at least from my expectations. 343 00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:22,039 I know you were lower on things than I was, 344 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,879 but I'm I'm always higher, you're always lower. If you 345 00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:27,720 want to look at averages, the six events averaged forty 346 00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:31,039 six entries, so I would say, and we didn't top 347 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,320 sixty entries for a single event, so, you know, a 348 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,240 little bit on the small side for what we're used to. 349 00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:40,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we look, we've had players wanting to 350 00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,279 put this on the schedule for a while and we 351 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,639 had to find the spot for it. We knew this 352 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:47,799 wasn't going to be a harm run, but We wanted 353 00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:50,720 to get it on there and test it out, see 354 00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,360 what works, say what didn't. We knew we were going 355 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,399 up against you know, a little bit of ebt Barcelona 356 00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:58,639 heading into trying j jors, So you know, we lost 357 00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:00,720 a lot of our regulars over there. They're all sitting 358 00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:04,519 over there trying to win some JJ coin right now. 359 00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:09,400 But hey, we tried it. I think we will probably 360 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,599 do some variation of it again. I think we learned 361 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,279 what worked, what doesn't work. And obviously scheduling is always 362 00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:19,559 going to be very important, so making sure whenever we 363 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,400 do do it next, we schedule it in a better time, 364 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,519 a better spot to really maximize kind of turnout. 365 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, So do you think this was like just a 366 00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:33,119 scheduling thing? Do you think that maybe there wasn't enough 367 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,279 interest in a bounty series from what we might have 368 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,799 thought that there was interest on it? Like, you know, 369 00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:41,200 why is it? I mean, or is it just like no, 370 00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:42,960 we just scheduled that it was up against a lot 371 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,519 of stuff. But this is also why we could only 372 00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:47,319 run it, Like, I mean, is there more to just 373 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:48,319 than just a schedule? 374 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: I guess is what I'm asking. I think the schedule 375 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,200 is the biggest component. I think what we learned from 376 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,920 the series was that, you know, some of the bounty 377 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,839 format formats just are not preferable at this kind of buying. So, 378 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,720 you know, stuff like the standard knockout and the you know, 379 00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:08,359 the PKAO and even the escalators whinning cent you're taking 380 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,200 money out from hand one, while the Quadra obviously registration ends, 381 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,319 you sill no boundies. None of the prize was being 382 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,119 touched Mister Boundie. Same thing. A lot of the toke 383 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,920 the last few days was like, hey, if we do 384 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,319 this again, just make it a mister Bounie series. 385 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,799 Speaker 1: I was I heard that too, the players say that, 386 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,440 and I was honestly surprised, because while I understand the 387 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,960 appetite and enthusiasm for the poker playing community to be 388 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,160 attracted to mystery bounties, right you have that lottery aspect, 389 00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:43,440 that luck factor, you get to sweat the envelope like 390 00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:47,799 all that sort of stuff, I just thought that, like 391 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,480 professional poker players, which I think the large majority of 392 00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:53,440 the guys in here are, and not only that, but 393 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,799 they're like the upper class pro poker players, I just 394 00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:00,000 thought that they wouldn't care as much for a mystery 395 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,519 bounty format. I thought all these guys would be more 396 00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:05,920 PKO yeah than Mystery Bounding. Like, I feel like Mystery 397 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,680 Bounty is more for the common folk because they kind 398 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,599 of they like they're playing poker kind of recreationally for fun, 399 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,839 and part of that fun is having that gamble element. 400 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,559 And what's more gamble than busting someone and pulling an 401 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,960 envelope and seeing what you get, Like like that's max gamble, right, 402 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:26,160 So I was surprised to see so much love for 403 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,319 the Mystery Bounty format specifically. 404 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: You know, I just thought that the PKO. 405 00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:33,279 Speaker 1: Would be something that they all were like, Yeah, the 406 00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:35,079 pko's the better one. 407 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,759 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that obviously has a lot of success 408 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,480 in the PLO series doesn't correlate to No Limit, and 409 00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:43,400 you know, as these guys explain why, it makes a 410 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,359 lot of sense. So yeah, we'll definitely make those changes. 411 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,880 But you know we're going back to, you know, the 412 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,960 Banning series. We saw so many new faces in here 413 00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:55,880 on that event one we would just say, oh, this 414 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,440 could be good. So there's obviously definitely an appetite for 415 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,599 a Bannie s is knowing that you see someone like 416 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,519 you know, Jason Hicky comes out plays every event obviously 417 00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:09,119 thinks that the main finale event five. A lot of 418 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,240 other people playing events here that are not you know, 419 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,480 we go that Drake Kemper played all six events. He 420 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,880 doesn't really play in the studio at all except maybe 421 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,119 a Pokemasa's you know opening event, et cetera kind of thing. 422 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,960 You know, even Mike Zulka, who had a good World series, 423 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,200 doesn't often play in here, plays a little bit here 424 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,640 and there, but he played, you know, all six events. 425 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,119 He got Andrew Kelso always here for the mixed game series. 426 00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:35,160 Never expect him to play anything but mixed games, but 427 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,640 he was like out here, he played four of the 428 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,240 they played five of the six events. So I would 429 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,160 say Andrew Ostupchenko, yep. 430 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,799 Speaker 1: You know, obviously he's kind of got that new money 431 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,799 coming off a huge summer. You know, he's popped into 432 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,039 the studio before, but he was here for the full series. 433 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,880 John Andres also has popped into the studio before, but 434 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,880 he was again here for the full series. So you know, 435 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,759 that's that's definitely a positive takeaway, you know the fact 436 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:03,519 that we got some some new blood in here, you know, 437 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,680 every single day plane So so that was good to see. 438 00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, we'll tweak it for twenty twenty six, 439 00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:13,160 whenever we can fit that in and figure it out. 440 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,000 I think we got a lot of positive comments about 441 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000 this little little trophy here. Tried something new, this is uh. 442 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: I just think it needs to be a little bigger. 443 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,640 I think it needs to be like sitting down, I've 444 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,480 already told you all this same down, like I don't 445 00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:27,119 like this little thing here, but it's still it's still 446 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,000 like cool. 447 00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 2: Basically, we kind of audibled pretty light because the originally 448 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,079 was going to be a treasure chest. And that's the 449 00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:35,119 reason we have all these hundred dollars bills, these plocks, 450 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,279 fake under plaques because they were going to go in 451 00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:39,519 the treasure chest. And so you could open the treasure 452 00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,440 chest and it was filled with hundreds, right, and we 453 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,680 get sized it accordingly. 454 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,799 Speaker 1: And then this is what happens, guys, when you put 455 00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:47,640 this guy in charge of the budget. Okay, this is 456 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,279 we got. We got treasure chests, we got floating skulls, 457 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,759 we got we got not expensive, and then we got 458 00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:56,960 plaques with his face on it. Why not his face, 459 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,720 Tim's face, hal. 460 00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:00,519 Speaker 2: Boy, Tim, to be exactly, we have more are of 461 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,759 Kerry once we made this logo, we made the quick 462 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,960 change to do something relative to the logo. We had 463 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,319 a three D printer three D printing company make these, 464 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,759 so they don't really make trophies. Shout out printer world. 465 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,160 But yeah, we didn't really know how to put on 466 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,000 a base. We didn't really the next obviously, if you 467 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,799 can kind of see, is pretty thin. So yeah, I 468 00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:24,200 think they came out all right. Look, they were not 469 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,759 that expensive at all, compared to like the gold cups 470 00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:30,759 we've liven out significantly cheaper. I think they were a 471 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:32,160 little bit more fun. I think a lot of people 472 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,880 are like, oh, this is kind of cool. Really want 473 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,359 to skull trophy. But yeah, I think that was kind 474 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,920 of one of the positives that came out, even though 475 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,599 it wasn't perfect. But we put it all together in 476 00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:45,240 a couple of weeks to get these overall in the series. 477 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: You know, I can I can make arguments that are positive, 478 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,359 I can make arguments that are negative. So that's exactly 479 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,839 what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna straddle the fence. I'm 480 00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:58,039 going to give you ball sides. And the positive side 481 00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:01,559 of me is that I think it's good to try 482 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,960 new things. I think it's good to try and innovate, 483 00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:07,039 if that's the word here, not that you know, having 484 00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:11,559 a poker series isn't necessarily innovative, but innovating in the 485 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:14,680 way of you have a whole series, a higher stake 486 00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:19,640 series dedicated towards bounties and all different kinds of bounties. 487 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,640 So you know, you can't innovate without testing the waters. 488 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,440 And I think that this was a good test case here. 489 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,519 And if you're going to take steps forward or find 490 00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:30,279 things out, I think you have to be willing to 491 00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:32,640 take some risks and kind of take leaps of faith, 492 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,599 which I think we did here, which is fine. Also, 493 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,920 I think that you know, being in the booth all 494 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,799 week and watching the final tables, the bounty format created 495 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,160 a lot of entertaining moments, a lot of fun hands. 496 00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:47,240 There was you know, a bunch of threw away all 497 00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:49,279 ends at times, like people being like, oh, I'm going 498 00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:51,279 to gamble because we have the bounty, all that sort 499 00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:53,400 of stuff. In the mystery bounty element, you got the 500 00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:57,400 exciting bounty pulls. So you know, from like a broadcast 501 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,200 and an entertainment standpoint, you know, I think that the 502 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,039 bounty product it adds a bit of color to everything, 503 00:24:05,079 --> 00:24:07,160 and I think, you know, the viewers that tuned in 504 00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:11,160 enjoyed it. It kept things pretty fast paced overall. There 505 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,680 was one final table, the third or fourth one, that 506 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,519 was a little bit slower than the other ones, but 507 00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:18,440 for the most part, the bounty prizes I think drove 508 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,799 a lot of the action, which is good. And listen, 509 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,680 you're not I think it's foolish to ever think that 510 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,039 you're going to bat a thousand in anything that you 511 00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:29,880 do in life, not just what we do. So expecting 512 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,680 that everything is going to be a home run, I 513 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,240 think is just wildly silly. You know, sometimes you're going 514 00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:38,240 to try something and it's not going to work like 515 00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:41,279 you had hoped. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep 516 00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:44,839 trying new things. And that doesn't mean, you know, this 517 00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:47,079 should just be like thrown away because it didn't work 518 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,559 one time. Maybe we tinker with it, we bring it back, 519 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,000 you know, and we see how it goes the second 520 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,480 time around. If we don't see improvement from there, then yeah, 521 00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:56,599 then maybe you can and it's just not working. But 522 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,519 and overall, you know, I do think it kind of 523 00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:02,960 hel helps us get that going on the PGT, which 524 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,519 I think is a pretty decent thing. You know, It's 525 00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:07,839 in a way, it's kind of like the mid season 526 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,640 PGT kickoff, Like the PGT kickoff series isn't exactly like 527 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,240 a barn burner right out of the gate when we 528 00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:15,599 kick off the season. I mean, it's it's it's decent, 529 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,079 but you know, it's not not a major it's not 530 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,079 you know, shattering entry records here in the studio, you know, 531 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,960 but it's still a good way to start easing in 532 00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,000 to the series. And with that kickoff, you know, a 533 00:25:27,079 --> 00:25:29,119 lot of times you and I talk about how it's 534 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,359 trying to get like newer blood into the studio. Hopefully 535 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,119 they get a bunch of PGT points and then they 536 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,400 continue on throughout the season. Yeah, same sort of thing here. 537 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:39,240 You know, we saw a lot of new faces, which 538 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,519 I think is a pretty big positive here, and hopefully 539 00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:45,440 some of those players, you know, continue to try and 540 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,160 battle on. You know, I look at somebody like Jason Hickey, 541 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,160 just because he won an event, so he's top of mind. 542 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,799 He got you know, a chunk of PGT points for that, 543 00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:56,079 you know, obviously a chunk of money to almost one 544 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,599 hundred K. So you know, maybe we see a Jason 545 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,599 Hickey take to pg Venetian, you know, take to Poker Masters. 546 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,880 Maybe he's firing some napt high roller stuff, you know, 547 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,160 and now he's like taking more shots on the PGT 548 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,960 in the studio, et cetera. So so yeah, I think 549 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,480 that's the positive take. The negative take is, you know, 550 00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:21,079 I think that the market speaks loudly at times, and 551 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,400 you should tend to listen to the market. And I 552 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,720 think the message from the market here was pretty clear 553 00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:30,039 that they weren't interested in this series. 554 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,279 Speaker 2: Now we can debate why they weren't interested. 555 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: Maybe it was simply they weren't interested because the schedule 556 00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:38,359 was jam packed and they chose to go somewhere else. 557 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,799 But that would tell me that like, Okay, this series 558 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,480 wasn't big and attractive enough for them to skip whatever 559 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,599 they were doing and come to this, right, So you know, 560 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,240 that's that's the negative side of things. 561 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,559 Speaker 2: So yeah, overall, I'm happy with it. I do. 562 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: I do think it was a good enough series that 563 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,720 I can say that I think people missed out. Now, 564 00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:01,200 maybe they missed out because you had some bad scheduling 565 00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:04,359 and we can hopefully adjust that in the future. But 566 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,119 you're also never going to one hundred percent get around 567 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,400 scheduling just with so much that's going on in poker 568 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,119 these days, So you know, what are you gonna do? 569 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:12,599 Speaker 2: Right? 570 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we can't for this series specifically, you can't 571 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000 really move it up somebody, you know, somebody might have 572 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,119 a home right now, be like, well what about August? 573 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,519 Trust me, no one wants to touch poker in August really, 574 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,640 like everyone's over. Yeah, everyone's just kind of over from 575 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,319 the WSP, Like they're all just like resting and relaxing 576 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,240 until it's like you basically takesally you battle for six weeks, 577 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,680 then you take like six weeks off just chilling. 578 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 2: You know. 579 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: Obviously there's some seminal stuff and whatever, but for the 580 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,559 most part, people are kind of chilling, and then you know, 581 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,240 right at the end of August early September comes in, 582 00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:47,759 it's like, okay, we're back, you know. So just doing 583 00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:52,000 anything in August tends to just flop per experience, So 584 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,720 so yeah, anything else on the Blitz? 585 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,759 Speaker 2: Do you like the name? I like the logo, the 586 00:27:57,799 --> 00:28:01,359 logo logol name. We through some stuff around this seem 587 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,599 to fit most you know, obviously if we do do it, 588 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,359 mister Bounty series maybe it's a it's another name change, 589 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,519 but I don't think that's really a problem. Yeah, I 590 00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:12,279 just don't know about a Mistery Bounty series. I mean, 591 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:14,680 I think it would work if we time it right, 592 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,559 I think it would be good. 593 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: I think you also have to have some lower by 594 00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:18,759 like a thirty three hundred. 595 00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:20,759 Speaker 2: Like a thirty three hundred opener, and then like some 596 00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:22,599 fives and tens is the way to do it, to 597 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:22,960 be honest. 598 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:25,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so yeah, maybe that would work. Who that comes? 599 00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:29,880 All right, let's talk on this uh PGT fantasy quickly 600 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,319 and then we'll get on We'll get. 601 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 2: On out of here. So ways, where were they on 602 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,960 the level? We're my voice too? 603 00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: On the last episode, Tim and I did a quick 604 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,920 draft between us. We drafted five players each for the 605 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,160 second half of the PGT season. But there are some 606 00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:47,359 you know, rules and caveats that come with it. You 607 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,519 can drop you, okay, you have to drop one player 608 00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:53,559 after each series. So after the PGT Bounty Buez, we're 609 00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:55,680 going to drop a player right now, After PGT Venetian, 610 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,839 we're gonna drop a player. After Pokemasters are gonna drop 611 00:28:57,839 --> 00:28:59,880 a player. So you got to drop someone and you 612 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,920 to pick someone up. Then from the other four players, 613 00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:08,519 you select two that are untouchable, and then we do 614 00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:11,599 a swap from the other two player you can swap one. 615 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,920 So if I say, like two of my players are untouchable, 616 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,240 from the other two, you can say, like, Okay, I'm 617 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,960 gonna swap you this guy for that guy. 618 00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: Now the untouchable is just for the next series, right, So. 619 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,039 Speaker 1: That's the untouchable, as I'm saying, are like right now, 620 00:29:24,279 --> 00:29:26,880 like when we swap, you can't swap with using those 621 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:27,480 two players. 622 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, but then the next time I could switch the untouchable. Yeah, 623 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,599 you can switch them. Yes. 624 00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:35,119 Speaker 1: So the teams I drafted Alex fox and Jeremy Becker, 625 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,400 Nick Shulman, Adam Hendrix, and Michael Wang, of which two 626 00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:43,720 of those people aren't even on this continent, which is 627 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,839 a problem. I have no idea whe Nick Shulman is. 628 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,839 I know he went Okay, Well, Alex Foxen and Michael 629 00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:52,920 Wang are for sure at Trton. 630 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,839 Speaker 2: I think Shulman's there too, see. 631 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: I just I just I've seen like stuff like updates 632 00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:01,240 or social media with Alex fox In same with Michael Wang. 633 00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,319 I have seen nothing with Shulman. I know Sherlman went 634 00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:05,759 to Cyprus. I just don't know if he actually then 635 00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:07,400 went to Trite and if he did, I just haven't 636 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,440 seen any updates or anything, or maybe I just haven't 637 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,400 looked hard, but I haven't seen anything, So I don't 638 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,839 know if he's there, if he came back, he's not 639 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,640 playing this series, I don't know. I would think that 640 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,279 Shulman's look the type of guy where if he was here, 641 00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:21,160 I think he would play this anyway. So I'm guessing 642 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,680 he's there and I just haven't seen it. Adam Hendricks, 643 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,200 I think, came back. 644 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:27,359 Speaker 2: Here, texted me saying he was coming back to play. 645 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,079 The Bounding series didn't play. 646 00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:31,839 Speaker 1: Exactly so, and I thought he was gonna be playing too. 647 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,039 He is getting married soon, but I thought this series 648 00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:36,640 would fit in his last poker Hurrah before he goes 649 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,640 and goes the whole wedding honeymoon thing. So don't know 650 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,519 where the heck he is. So those are my five. 651 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,559 You have Jeremy Osmaschino, Reim, Sam Silverall, Jesse Lonis, and 652 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,599 John Reordan. Now, in terms of attendance at this series, 653 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:50,119 four of those guys played. 654 00:30:50,279 --> 00:30:51,519 Speaker 2: I crushed it. I crushed the. 655 00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: Osbes played one event, Gino Reem played everything. Sam Silverell 656 00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:57,279 played a handful. I don't know if it was all 657 00:30:57,319 --> 00:30:59,279 of them. Jesse Loonis didn't play. He's a Triton and 658 00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:01,720 I believe he's a chip leader with like one hundred 659 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,119 and twenty left. Of course he is of the Triton one. 660 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,920 And then John Reordan was here as well. China Raim's 661 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,119 the only one who did anything. Yeah, he won the 662 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,400 one event, beating Jeremy Becker coming out of it. 663 00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:16,559 Speaker 2: And the scoring system that we're using was just using 664 00:31:16,559 --> 00:31:19,000 PGT points, just a way for us to talk shit. 665 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: I joked on the last pod that I would drop 666 00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:25,160 Jeremy Becker entering like the PLO stuff. He heard it, 667 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,279 texted me at like one in the morning telling me 668 00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:30,319 I was going to drop his ass. He said, I 669 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,960 lit a fire under his ass. And then he goes 670 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,799 in final tables five of the six events here at 671 00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:37,319 PGT body Blitz. So I mean, we ain't dropping Jeremy Becker, okay, 672 00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:41,960 especially with PGT Venetian coming up. Who are you going 673 00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,559 to drop?

Okay, they're They're like 743 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,480 they're safe. So you got to pick some some somebody else. 744 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,599 So either osmus China Reim or Sam's overall give me save. 745 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:13,119 Speaker 2: You.

I mean I'm 751 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,920 locking at Nick Schulman. 752 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,079 Speaker 2: I would have also jumped Wang and kept Hendricks because 753 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,880 at least Hendrix is here. I mean he may play 754 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:34,599 a high roll up. 755 00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:40,119 Speaker 1: I understand that, but I am thinking that there's a chance. 756 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,880 I think there's a greater chance that Michael Wang hops 757 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,760 on a plane tomorrow to get back here for something 758 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,760 like the PGT Venetian series, as opposed to the guy 759 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,360 who is about to get married and didn't even play 760 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,840 this series, plays this. 761 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 2: Series, excited to play the upcoming try and park a 762 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,159 super high rolls see all the stuff, whatever it does, 763 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,480 I've seen it all he's missing half a Pokemon. I understand, 764 00:36:02,559 --> 00:36:05,320 but these guys are flaky, man, trust me, they are flaky. 765 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,840 All right? Who are you gonna swap? You don't? Okay? 766 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,199 So I didn't have to suck, right, Yeah, you don't. 767 00:36:10,199 --> 00:36:11,480 You don't have to if you don't want Okay. So 768 00:36:11,559 --> 00:36:13,440 I have to either salk with Alex Fox and Huwayan 769 00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:16,800 here or Michael Wang Huayn here, and I can't take Lasco. 770 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,039 It's so I'm not swapping anybody, okay. 771 00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: Cool, Well, I'm swapping Alex Fox in for Jeremy Osmas. 772 00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 2: Okay.

I just want to be home. 775 00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:32,599 And then he skipped every event about the first time. 776 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,079 Speaker 1: I bet he saw the numbers and I was like, 777 00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:35,039 this isn't worth my sight. 778 00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 2: But like I'm wondering, like is he gonna get out 779 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,400 of bed for a three K?

PGTAV The Nation 798 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,159 Las Vegas Classic thirty three hundred dollars mayn Event three 799 00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:42,639 starting flights starting on Thursday, September eleven. You have two 800 00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:45,599 hundred dollars discount if you're on time. Kicks off at 801 00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:49,320 eleven ten am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Get down 802 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,480 play million dollar guarantee. I'm definitely playing the three hundred 803 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,800 and eighty dollars satellite on the Wednesday night at five o'clock, 804 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,159 trying to get mine's definitely playing the tournament. You're definitely 805 00:37:59,159 --> 00:38:01,320 playing the tournament. If I win my seat, I'm playing 806 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,920 one A. And then I've got to go down to 807 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,239 Orange County to beat the Orange County Giants in some 808 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,280 auzi RULs football on day one B. But whatever, But yeah, 809 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,760 come down and play, come support. You know, I think 810 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,800 the fact that Venetian is willing to a put up 811 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,079 a million dollar guarantee on a new event B give 812 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,360 players two hundred dollars rake discount is absolutely massive. And 813 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,000 if you know, spread the word, get your friends, tell 814 00:38:26,039 --> 00:38:29,800 people to come support that, because you know, if it's successful, 815 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,679 they all keep doing a rake discount on these midsteaks. 816 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,360 I guess you can call them midstakes tournaments, and they 817 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,880 may set a precedent going forward for other casinos to 818 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,199 do the same. It's great for players. It gets the 819 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,960 event going, gets cards in the air, gets tables field, 820 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,519 So it's definitely a really positive step forward. And the 821 00:38:48,599 --> 00:38:50,559 other thing with this event that you brought up today 822 00:38:50,559 --> 00:38:54,199 that I completely forgot about. It's seven handed. You don't 823 00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:56,239 really see that often, you know, we hear a lot 824 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,559 of complaints about nine handed and ten handed play. You 825 00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:00,679 don't really see the ten hand play anymore, but nine 826 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,840 handed so much. You know, obviously we play eight and 827 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,800 then play down to seven. They're just seven handed the 828 00:39:06,039 --> 00:39:06,840 entire tournament. 829 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: So I mean, they they might go to a should 830 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,400 they need it, but I don't think that they're gonna 831 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,960 need it because they have fifty tables there, yea that 832 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,280 they can use. The streaming room will be one of 833 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,960 those tables, yeah, because they are streaming all the days. 834 00:39:20,039 --> 00:39:23,960 So I'm guessing maybe not for the first flight, but 835 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,440 I'm guessing for maybe the Friday flight. I would say 836 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,800 almost for sure for the Saturday day fight. They're probably 837 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,639 gonna cancel or delay the cash games for a little bit, 838 00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:36,199 you know, like they do. They say, Okay, we're gonna, 839 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,320 you know, gonna the cashimes are gonna end at ten thirty, 840 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,880 you know, the terms kicking off at eleven ten, you know, 841 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,519 at like one o'clock or two o'clock, we'll start opening 842 00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:45,519 up some cash game tables again, or however it goes, 843 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,679 you know, so we'll see, but seven handed throughout. I'm 844 00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:50,960 excited for that. I'm excited to battle. It's gonna be 845 00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,119 good fun. I would join you in those satellites, but 846 00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:56,480 I'm going to Disneyland. Damn, oh rich is this not 847 00:39:56,639 --> 00:39:59,880 rich at all? Disneyland is a fuck ton of money. 848 00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:02,920 It's outrageous. But you know, this has been a long 849 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,079 time coming. And yeah, so I'm sure we haven't done 850 00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:10,000 it in a while. But I'm hoping I'll have a 851 00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:10,840 family pot I. 852 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 2: Actually have a family pot story. Oh but no, no, 853 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,280 we're gonna still save because something has to develop from Disneyland. 854 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,400 I'm gonna have two kids running around MENI so I goes. 855 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,639 So I've been telling all my family post stories to 856 00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:25,320 to you know, Jim and Antonio out there, but it's 857 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,400 related to Disneyland. I think it's pretty funny, but we'll 858 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,199 save it for post Venetian pod. Yeah, I love it. 859 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,159 Speaker 1: Sweet all right, cool Houston, Duckworth. I'm Donnie Peters and 860 00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:38,599 we'll talk to you guys next time.
