Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to a new episode of
the Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters. I
got Tim Duckworth alongside of me. Got a little bit
of a late one tonight. We are starting just after midnight.
Technically it's Thursday, June fifth, but in our minds, our bodies,
it is Wednesday, June fourth.
Speaker 2: How you doing over there, buddy? Doing good? Buddy show
show the people your shirt in the video. I mean
we got a little western shut here, we got the
Royal Flush. And tell the people where you got that from? eBay?
Where I get all my stuff. Look, I'll tell you this.
You said you got it from a second hand store. No,
I got a second hand on eBay. It's a very
expensive shut and only like three hundred dollars. Geez, I couldn't.
I couldn't spend three hundred dollars on a you know,
Western shut that. I had no idea it was going
to be good or not. So I found one on eBay.
I was like, oh, this suits the poker. Everyone thinks
it's like I bought it because it's the Western and
becauses the cowboy. No, I bought it because it's a
Royal Flush. Hunt, so, I mean, it looks good, you know,
it look cool. I was like, I was gambling on
the fit because it's, you know, a little weir and
it's like, you know, made in the nineties or something.
But lots of positive comments, a lot of yeah, you
should have wore the cowboy hat though, you know what
I got. I got many people saying, where why don't
you wear the black You're in all black today. I
got black boots, black jeans, black shirt. They said, you
need you black cowboy hat, and I got it's too much. No,
it's you can't kind of overdo it. It's just too
much power, too much aura. So we know cowboy hat today,
it'll come out stain. I think we also got d next.
Speaker 1: The biblehead is back, so I checked mine at home,
and I don't have the bibblehead.
Speaker 2: I have a card protector.
Speaker 1: It's probably about half the size of this, but it's
a little bit of a different formation that he's sitting in.
But it is the same guy, like the same face,
so probably came from the same company. If you guys

Speaker 2: With all summer. This is a three day event now,
I mean it might as well be a seventy no no, no,
that it's going We had it a day. You guys
are come back for a fourth day. Look, and it
wasn't like we bagged him up at three pm in
the afternoon. We bagged them up at about ten thirty
or something, eleven o'clock. Tructures too good. Players are too good.
It went a lot longer than we expected, and hey,
look we're gonna probably touch on a little bit later.
The two K no limit hold them doing the same thing,
so we made some adjustments. Two K no limit kicked
you to the side. Twenty five K half and half
with one point three million dollars up top. We're check
bringing that to Proka Go tomorrow at two pm specific time,
and it's going to be a good one. We've got
Bean Lamb you touched on. He's got a monstrous chip
lead twelve. I think there was twelve players to go.
He was the short stack by a mile, doubled up
through Michael Munchek, and then he just keep running that
stack up. He's coming in as an overwhelming chip leader
looking for his third WSP bracelet. One of our favorites,
Sweet Lou Gaza he won which which he won the
I want to see the ten k plo two years ago.
He pulled his girlfriend from outside of the rail, got
down on one knee, proposed to right there. They got
married I think a few months ago. Actually I saw her,
I think yesterday. So Lou Gaza is there. Robert Cohen
two time WSP. Can you imagine what Sweet Lo's gonna
wear it tomorrow. I'm going to tell you it's gonna
be you know what I show, it's gonna look like this.
He's gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jesus Lord, you know that's true. I
mean it's gonna be flamboyant, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: We also got Robert Cohen two time bracelet when we
got Brandon Mitchell and Chung Yang Ziang and I think
I didn't say that right, but uh, these five players
guarantee three on K one point three million up top
N eight for the PGT people seven hundred points. That's
a boatload of a lot of points there. So for
someone like Lou Gaza, someone like Ben Lamb that are
going to play our events, it's a good way to
you know, chip up and get up on that leadable.
But yeah, that is the twenty five K half and off.
We also lost a bunch of good players, which is
probably good for you twenty five K Fantasy results. Listen.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I'll always root for
the content, yeah, you know, but if they want to
bust out, I mean they're going to bust out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael Manchek, Nick Schulman, Altha Mars, just to name
a few that I felt.
Speaker 1: Arthur Morris busted because he wasn't wearing the coover Real
podcast hat.
Speaker 2: You know what. I got him PGT bucket hat the
other day. Yeah, I haven't seen him wear it. He
hasn't made a final table, so AFA you need to
get your he needs to step it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the players are guaranteed three hundred and three thousand dollars.
That stream will be on Thursday, June fifth, which is
today when you are listening this or watching this podcast
two pm Vegas time, that's five pm over on the
East Coast. You got David Tuckman and Joe Stapleton on
the call. It will be on PokerGO dot com. It
will also be on the poker Go YouTube channel, so
be sure to tune in for that one. It's one
of the biggest and best tournaments of the summer here
and also it's brand new for this year, so really
cool to see this one play out as they go.
A nugget was dropped to us before the show earlier today.
I don't know if you saw it in our group chat,
but Ben Lamb is forty He turned forty on March
thirty first, So you know what that means, right, he
is eligible for the Poker Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2: Correct? Who else is eligible this year? Do you want
me to rd off my who is eligible in twenty
twenty five lists? Pretty well? Nick Schulman, Scott to save it,
Ben Lamb, daniel A Lahi, Vanessa Selps, Live Berrie. They
are the big names that I'll pull this year.
Speaker 1: I think of those names you gave me, Livery's probably
cut off of the list.
Speaker 2: Vanessa Selps and daniel O.
Speaker 1: Lahi are tricky because they're not so much in poker anymore.
I mean I think daniel Lahi is, and that could
be totally wrong on this, but it's like private, high
stakes cash games type of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: So now that his if he were to get in,
I would view it similarly similarly to when David Oppenheim
got in, right, you know where It's like the people
that are voting on this, the people in the Hall
of Fame, they're peers. They know this person, what they've done,
how good they are, all of that sort of stuff,
So they're going to put him in, right, So that's
how I might separate him from Vanessa Selps. Obviously Vanessa
Selps has an incredible resume, but also just being out
of poker now for so long, it's like, does that
does that hurt your chances to get in? Where all
those other players who vegan lamb Sever Shulman.
Speaker 2: Alahi Brie, Vanessa Selps, that Osmas? No, Well, okay, I
was going to get to it. This is the turning
forty turning for this year eligible. Now I'm gonna I'm
going to tell you who's eligible but overlooked, who hasn't
made it. You already mentioned Jeremy Osmas, and I'm going
to read this in an order. Don't take too much
into account of this order, Okay, just read the josh Aria,
Jeremy Osmus, Crispion, Bonnie Bowman, hen Berta Brenez, Miami, Johnson, Nudo.
Who I think that might be the one this year?
From A Benny Man, Norman, Chad David Chu, Andy Duke,
Tom Dwane, Antonio S. Frondieri. I'm going to skip a
few names, Ted Forrest, Brunaferitas Fertussi, Elkie, Kathy leab It,
Mike madis Our, the Grinder Man Win, Matt Savage, and
your boy. The one that you I think pushed for
the most is I Shinberg. Are the people that have
been eligible, that have been overlooked in previous years, and
I'm going to give you a new list of names, okay,
that have never been nominated but are eligible. Okay, can
you tell me if any of these me No, you're kidding.
I'm kidding. Brandon Adams, not that yet, Okay, Eric Afriot, no, okay,
David that they're not going to get in, David Bach.
I mean there's David O, d B. Baker. I mean,
with all due respect to these players, listen to be
the absolutely get I get Eric Baldwin, Barbero, Jim Bestel,
Matt Burkey. Now you're just doing silly stuff. Freddy Dave,
Ray Deckagani.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean listen, Ray d he's gonna he's in
the He's in the same bucket as like a David Oppenheim.
Speaker 2: Right, Adam Friedman, Okay, Joe Hasham, Gus Hansen, Dan High, Miller,
Carrie Katz, Robert Msrahi, Greg Ray, Macchino, Barry Schulman, Chris Fitch.
I mean, I got a long list. You're just literally
naming every notable Poksr you know on this list, Brent Hanks.
But I'm gonna tell you why it's big this year,
and I'm gonna I want to read up some names
for next year, okay, because we've definitely touched on Aria
Osmas being you know, ones that should be in there.
I think Miami john might be this year's candidate that
might get in.
Speaker 1: I'm just starting to think that they we needed to
really not only do we need to do the whole
thing or sorry, they should do the whole thing where
they put more people in than just one. I think
there needs to be some serious look at addressing the
whole Yeah, forty year old.
Speaker 2: Thing and you have to be older. Some other names
along with the Shulman Sievers that we mentioned. You know,
I gave you those six names that I thought were
the consensus favorites. You got Limon gil Martin on there too.
You know there's a case for her, Eric Ruderwick, Jonathan
little Johnson, Matt Waxman, you've bron seen Chris Hunty. You're
being absolutely ridiculous with this.
Speaker 1: Let's go to this is the this is the most insane,
this is just list you've ever done it in the
history of a few doing.
Speaker 2: List with names. This is what this is, what this
website is before. But let's I'm going to just read
a couple of names for next year, Okay, Sean Dave,
Jason Kern, Isaac Cackson, Justin Bonomo, Chris Mormon, few.
Speaker 1: Of At least that is a list that I can
f with like I can next Yea, yeah, I know,
I get it. I mean, this is the whole point
about the black backlog that's coming, right or I mean
it's really already here.
Speaker 2: You want to know who's eligible in twenty thirty one? No, okay,
I know I'm done with this one. Okay, let's get
back to the wrong hand.
Speaker 1: Ben Lamb is eligible, correct, I mean, it just throws
another wrench into everything.
Speaker 2: So I think he was amongst consideration regardless of this up. Yeah,
I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think he wouldn't be in consideration, right, you know,
It's just it's tricky. We talk about it every summer.
We're gonna be talking about it again. So but first
we'll see how Ben Lamb closes things, closes this tournament out,
and see if he ends up winning it. He twenty
five K Nolan hold him slash Plo high Road. We
got the fifteen hundred dollars no limit, hold them six
max A.
Speaker 2: What was this?
Speaker 1: Almost a six hour final table? Yeah, twenty three and
fifty four entries down to one. Chris Stotts topped them all.
He denied David Jackson his third WSFP gold bracelets stats
won almost four hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. Some wild hands, yeah,
at the final table, absolutely wild stuff. I mean there
was one hand that involved Demarje Davenport and David Jackson
where I mean I got I gotta like look this
hand off because it was just is this the the
ace Queen the sixes?
Speaker 2: Yep, yes, yeah, I have that hand right in here. Well,
you have all the hands right now. There was one
before that I think that was pretty pretty big too.
That was like the road for Jackson moving up that later.
Speaker 1: Board, so before before we get into these hands. Because
there was a lot of fun hands. I would highly
encourage people to go back and watch this final table,
mostly because I want people to join me in rewatching it.
I was over at the Venetian doing commentary while this.
Speaker 2: Was going on.
Speaker 1: I had kind of one eye on, like the updates
as it was happening, but while I was actually, you know,
doing what I needed to do, which was the Venetian commentary.
And I definitely want to go back and watch this
one play out because it looked like shit was off
the rails. So you had Chris Stotts winning it all
for almost four under and fifteen k. David Jackson's second
for two hundred and seventy six K. Shundan Jiao a woman,
she got third one hundred and ninety eight thousand, almost
almost won that open event for a female. Demarja Davenport
one hundred and forty three thousand dollars for fourth. He
Sean Bala aka brown balla as he goes by one
hundred and five thousand dollars for him Oscar Joe Hanson
got six for seventy seven thy six hundred and even
though Tim disagrees, he made them start the stream seven handed,
even though it's a six handed event. I don't understand
what you're doing, buddy. Aaron Overton got seventh for fifty
eight thousand dollars. Okay, some of these hands you have.
Davenport was seven to six, bluffing the river and getting
snapped by David Jackson, who had Queen five of hearts
for a flush.
Speaker 2: Did have the best hand on every street though. That's
who did David Jackson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but Davenport is was blasting, like absolutely blasting,
And I talked to some people who played with him
in the event and they were like, this guy was
just absolutely just letting it fly. So there was that.
Then there was a big hand where Jackson had ace
queen and Davenport had six six. I believe it was
raise from Jackson, call from Davenport in the big blind
nine to seven deuce flop check Beck call three on
the turn check Beck call, So the sixth are still
good river Queen, David Jackson rivers the queen check. David
Jackson bombs the river snap call from Demaje Davenport only
to see the bad news.
Speaker 2: So there was that.
Speaker 1: You had David Jackson with jack nine against Jao's ace
eight hit a nine on the turn. There you had
a flopped flush for David Jackson against Chris Stotts who
had two pair.
Speaker 2: It was what was the flop king of dis eight
six all.
Speaker 1: Diamonds, jack nine of diamonds for Jackson and Stotts had
eight six turn six full house, you had tens versus
King Queen. All the money went in between Stotts who
had the tens, Jackson who had the King Queen, and
then the final hand was jack seven seven ten five
On the board, Jackson had jack six, Stotts had nine
to seven For trips, Stotts shoved the river and there
was a little bit of a tank before Jackson ended
up calling all in and ultimately lost. There was was
there also a hand where Jackson picked off a bluff
from Davenport with like third pair or.
Speaker 2: Something like that.
Speaker 1: There was, Yeah, I think he had Queen six or something,
So there was that. I mean, there was just this
This found tape looked out of control, which I think
you would expect from a six max event. This was
on my list to play. I really, really really wanted
to play this one. Being totally honest, I've always been
kind of scared to play this one because I've been
a little bit scared of what people do and how
aggressive they are in six max events. But as I
feel like I'm more comfortable with my game and more
experienced with everything, I was fully on ready to get
in there and just absolutely blast away. I mean, I
was ready to go. I was so happy I was
gonna be able to play this one. But by a
week before the World series, schedule got changed for work,
so I was unable to play.
Speaker 2: So you know, no big deal.
Speaker 1: Probably saved myself three thousand dollars, but it is what
it is. But yeah, I'm very much looking forward to
going back and watching this one and seeing how it
played out.
Speaker 2: So I'll see it if I can find some time
for that.
Speaker 1: I uh, I've been behind on my content consumption I have.
Speaker 2: I'm like so far behind.
Speaker 1: I got caught up on I think three on the
ground of vlogs today. Yeah, I caught up with I
caught up with the dogs. So yeah, so I'm still
I think I'm still two behind.
Speaker 2: So there's that.
Speaker 1: I have not been tuning into podcasts, so I'm behind there.
Now I got this final Table that I want to watch,
so I'm gonna be behind there.
Speaker 2: I'm behind my non focus.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just I'm just yeah, but listen, come
come May thirty first, or whatever day the the WSOP starts.
Speaker 2: I'm I don't consume any other content.
Speaker 1: I listened to the Bill Simmons podcast about it, and
you know, I put it on while I work out,
and that's.
Speaker 2: That podcast while working out.
Speaker 1: Huh, yeah, I know, I've It's funny. I kind of
don't listen to music anymore. That's all I constantly listen.
First of all, what you listen to is not music. Okay,
it is no because we can't because we're on we're
in trouble. But it's horrendous okay. First of all, Yeah,
I've just I just basically listened to podcasts. When I drive,
I listen to podcasts. When I'm working out, I listened
to podcasts. I'll have them on kind of as background
noise as I work throughout the day, all that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 2: Podcast when I run, that's what I'm in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess once in a while I'll put on
some music, but it's also like it's nothing new. Yeah,
I listened to, you know, music when I was growing
up that I really liked to put.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Christian gudigerrez six hundred dollars deep stack PLO winner one
hundred and ninety three thousand dollars in his pocket. He
defeated Robert Chorlian heads up. Why do I know that name.
Speaker 2: Plays in the PGT.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nick Maimon third three entrances. Guess who got the
field bonus for twenty five k fans k King John Reard,
who was stolen from our hands. F you Ben Ludlow, outrageous, Liam.
You guys have no connection to this guy. It is unbelievable.
I'm still rooting for John Reard and out here, but
it just it kills me. Ye absolutely kills me. It's
like it's like, listen, if you love someone, you have
to set them free. And we set John Reard and free.
Speaker 2: We did.
Speaker 1: We let him go and he is now with a
new lover. And I'm just over here crying every single night.
It is outrageous. It is unbelievable. But he didn't win,
so now I'm kind of bummed again. I'm always rooting
for John Rudy. Yeah, so congrats to Christian Gutierra. Is
there the Dealer's Choice Championships?
Speaker 2: Yeah? This this thing, I mean sixteen left.
Speaker 1: Now Rename the tournament, dude, Rename the tournament. Is the
Adam Friedman Invitational. End of story. I'm done with everything else.
This field is sick, by the way. I mean, you
think that we were getting blasted before for not streaming
on the GRANDU table. What if Helmut makes this Founs table,
We're gonna get blasted again.
Speaker 2: Here we go. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: This is arguably the worst tournament to stream because it's
dealer's choice.
Speaker 2: It's like the best and the worst.
Speaker 1: Just like graphics wise, it's just a it's a it's
absolute chaos. So I know it's so frustrating. The whole
thing is such a mess. It looks like Ryan Hoenig,
a twenty five K Fantasy player, somebody who was on
on our list but ultimately went for a little bit
more than we had hoped, is leading the way you got.
Matt Vangren is in there, John Turner, Dan Zach, Phil Sternheimer,
that's your boy. Yeah, he's in the mix. Dylan Smith
is out there, Alan Lee, Dario Aliotto, Adam Friedman, the
three time champion of this event, looking to be four
time champion of this event. Nick Waghenti, Andrew Kelso aka
A J. Gus Hansen is back, as as Daniel Legrand,
who said during the twenty five K Fantasy draft, when
Gus Hansen was drafted, he said he got a text
from Gus and it said it's going to be a
great summer, and it's looking like it might be a
great summer.
Speaker 2: Well for Gus. He is the second shortest shipsack right now,
in the shortest unfortunately it is the poker right himself
for Helmut, So you got to play a better film. Yep.
Those are the two short sacks right now, sixteen remaining
over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for first. So
you know, I don't I just recras cash that check
because he's gonna win again. I just refreshed on poker news. Yep.
And well there's two updates.
Speaker 1: I got one that says Lee aka Allen Lee sends
Helmuth into a frenzy.
Speaker 2: Great incredible stuff. Love it. I'm just going to read this.
Speaker 1: It was written by Brett Sleezak, so if there's any
issue with it, you can take it up with Brett
sleezac He's the kid with the glasses walking around on
a poker your Shirtlmy with raised from the cutoff seat,
Alan Lee three bet from the small blind. They are
playing madogie. Helmuth called both players padded and the action
checked through. Both players remained pat and then Lee led.
Helmuth called as he scoffed and remarked, you deserve it, buddy,
love it. I mean Allan Lee's the nicest guy in
the universe. Right, So Lee fires again. After two more pats,
Helmuth calls Lee reveals nine to eight seven six Padougie,
which was good, as Helmuth revealed that he had a ten.
These guys have no fucking chance in mixed games. These
guys who have no fucking chance in mixed games always
school me, said Helmyth, What the fuck love it? Absolutely,
turn the cameras on, baby, turn the cameras on. Helmuth
would continue well into the next few hands. With language
that is inappropriate for reporting purposes. Bro, you just wrote
the words that are inappropriate, and you put asterisks in
them so it's fully appropriate. And if somebody is telling
you that that is in appropriate, this is poker okay, hello, Yeah,
like it is Djen Central. Put all the explicatives in
the reporting. It's what makes the reporting incredible.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: In fact, just turn the camera on. Absolutely, turn the
camera on, and just blast it all out there. That's
what you gotta do now. The next next update, which
happened a minute ago. This was written by David Salaturo,
another good guy over on the Poker News team titled
Helmuth doubles off, Honig still tilted.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 1: I'm in badogie again, Ryan Honig grays on the button.
Help me called in the big line, leaving two one
k chips behind. Both players took two. Helm you put
in his last chips. Both players drew two, and then
the last two draws, both players do two and then
and the last two draw. I don't understand what that
means anyway. Helmuth turns over five three and Honig has
ace four. Helmuth gets the ace first and Honig says,
you got it, and Muck's king nine. But he had
he had two clubs, how many shows? Another four as
he took the pot and doubled up.
Speaker 2: I'm so confused he had a three cord five. Helmuth
Andy was just I'm reading the hands wrong. I'm reading
the hand yea.
Speaker 1: When you have all these draw hands, I like just
like stacking them in like a list kind of, you know,
so you can like see I like, right, I like
it because I was reading this and I was saying, wait,
he paired his ace, but no, that's Hank's hands.
Speaker 2: So I'm confused. Yeah, he's got three card five. Okay.
Speaker 1: Helmut goes on to say, I'm so tilted, and it
has nothing to do with you guys. From twelfth place
to eighteenth. I've had so many bad beats the last
few years. So how Nath is a steaming over there,
which is always good for the content. And you know,
we'll see if that continues, and then I'm assuming we
will at least check in on that tomorrow.
Speaker 2: In right, we'll definitely see how that one goes. For
what it's worth, this is Phil almost fifth dealers choice cash.
I mean, listen, he's a good player. He is finished
second in this one, all right. A couple of years
ago at the last one at the rear, was that
where you finished second?
Speaker 1: I think I think so, But I don't think I
was there. I think you were there, and Remco was
there because I was like on a trip somewhere.
Speaker 2: I had to like take a few days just taking
holidays turin the that's off on except all.
Speaker 1: Right, So sixteen players remain. One hundred and fifty two
played in this tournament. We listed all those players that
are still in more than three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars up top for the winner. So We'll check in
on this one as we go, see how things finish
out over in the fifteen hundred dollars mixed. Omaha, we
got Benny Glaser. Glaser, Wait, they're playing right now.
Speaker 2: Still playing. Yeah, I think this is the final level
of play, So I believe. Wow, three players are I
thought they were. I don't know why. I when I saw.
Speaker 1: Someone host the screenshot of the chip guns, I thought
that they were done for the coming back tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So I got all confused.
Speaker 1: See, this is what happens when I have to go
do commentary and I can't like keep my eyes on
stuff here. My brain is just like I'm coming back
into it. I'm trying to figure out what the heck
is going on. So anyway, Benny Glausser is going for
gold bracelet number seven. He won his sixth already earlier
this summer, so he's trying to be a two time
bracelet winner, which you have some crazy stat on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pointing out right now. Yeah. One of the
longest streaks in poker is, without doubt, the double bracelet
in each year dating back to the year two thousand,
We're on a twenty five year streak of a player
winning two WSP bracelets in a calendar year. I think
I said maybe four podcasts ago, we're going to have
it by June fifteenth. Benny over there is going to
make it by June six potentially last year there was
nine nine double braces winning nine nine yet before that
eleven twenty twenty one, nine thirteen, thirteen in twenty twenty one.
That's a lot too. So yes, Jesus, So we're going
to see what if Benny can get that done. But
not also Benny, they're three handed right now, and one
of those plays David Shamouli. Shamoul He won the Amaha
Hi Low a few days ago, so he could also
win his second grace of the summer. So we're if
they get heads up, you know, straight continue as simple
as up. There we go.
Speaker 1: We've got a shot double bracelet winner of the summer.
Let's see what happens there other events that are happening
here at the twenty twenty five World Twos of Oker,
we have the two K no limit hold them. They
are down to twenty eight players from a field of
sixteen hundred and ninety two four and thirty six thousand
dollars up top for the winner. Raphael Mota is leading
the way, Scott Bowman is still in. Jesse Lonis is
still in. Brian Green is still in. Ben Underwood. Ben
Underwood always seems to do very well on these big
field you know, kind of smaller price point Nolan Holden
events always seems to be a crusher. Jesse lon has
played this wild hand earlier where he got it all
in free flop with five six suited against aces and
obviously smashed two pairs, So must be good to be
Jesse freaking Lonus. Twenty three players left. Okay, yeah, just
a couple of quick knockouts, Tim Raley. So let let's
let's talk about this because it has to do with
the twenty five K Nolan Holden slash plo.
Speaker 2: It has to do with this two K. Why are
these events taking so long this year?
Speaker 1: Because the players are so good, I mean the skill
I can honestly be part of it.
Speaker 2: As players are just.
Speaker 1: As players get I would say, as players get better
in the modern era of poker, they are probably more
in tune with ICM, at least even just generally. So
you're just kind of aware of it, you know. Hey, Okay,
I can't just like blow off my stack, So that
can certainly be part of it. Are these structures like
are they better? Do they have more chips? Is any
of that in play too? I know, you know Daniel
has talked with us a bunch of times than the
ten K Championship events how they kind of adjusted the
structure there to like make them faster. But did that
not apply for like the twenty five k Norman Holme
slash plo like what you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that being a first time event, it's
always going to be tricky. There's just so many variables, right,
There's obviously field size is a big one. The money
bubble is a big variable that changes things, and yeah,
you know players are getting better, and then we just
have the natural variance of poker, you know, short sacks,
doubling kind of thing. So it's hard to tell. You'd
have to really take a deep, deep look and crunch
some numbers.
Speaker 1: Well, it's really messing up a lot of our streaming plinds. Yeah,
I don't tell you that much. We've taken We've tried
to take some of this into account. You'll see a
bit later in the series.
Speaker 2: We have added a day because we just know, and
like I have notes on the streaming schedule that says
probably will not start on time. So you know, we're
obviously monitoring things from you know, the night before and
obviously on the day we're trying to stream something. And
you know, that was the same with the six max.
Today the twenty five K obviously we touched on we
have to add a day to that. So it's really
it's it's it's not a perfect science that we can solve.
You know, I don't think anyone can. You can kind
of just do your best to run some numbers and
kind of go from there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it just feels like a lot of
stuff is getting extended, or maybe if it's ultimately not
getting extended, playing a little bit slower then anticipated. But
you know, we'll see how things go. Of course obviously
you know, looking way ahead several weeks down the road,
but if that comes into play during during the main event,
you know, that's kind of when it becomes like the
biggest issue. Yeah, right, So obviously we'll keep an eye
on things, yes, But I would also say part of
this is probably the numbers overall I think have been
really good. You know, we have hit on things. You know,
something are up, some things are down. But I think
it feels like overall things are more up than down.
So that's good. And yeah, you know that probably all
plays into it. So just I guess something in a
monitor as we go forward. Here at the WSP we
got the five hundred dollars colossus. Yeah, kicking off today?
How many they get? I really I feel listen, I
feel naked without the app again we have we use
my phone. We use my phone to record the podcast.
Do I feel naked?
Speaker 2: Hereatly on the money bubble? This four hundred and eighteen plays,
remaining fourhundred sixty are the money twenty seven hundred and
seventy three entrants on day one, n that seems like
a good start. I mean cash is a little bit
over a thousand dollars. We look up some chip lads. No,
when I recognize no one, I reckon. I have breaking news.
I have breaking news.
Speaker 1: Philmouth has been eliminated in fifteenth place.
Speaker 2: What's what's the what's the tire rate of quotes? That
accompany via Bus.
Speaker 1: East five triple draw, Ryan Honig rays on the button,
John Turner and Phil Hemmuth called in the blinds Turner
drew two, Helmuth drew three, Honig drew one. Yeah, check
sta Honig. He bets both players call. On the second draw,
Turner and Hellmuth draw two. Honig stands pat. It's check
to Honig.
Speaker 2: He bets. Turner calls. Helmuth calls all in. Hellmuth and
Turner both drew one. Again. Honig is pat. Action gets
to Honig. He bets.
Speaker 1: Turner calls that creates a side pot. Honick has six
five four deuce ace. Both Hellmuth and Turner showed sevens
before giving up the pot. Helmuth says, I hate poker.
The storms out of the room. According to the report
seeing Tomorrow oh Man and right before he busted, we
lost nyoah Kihara, so continue uh yeah.
Speaker 2: Cosses on the Money Babble are Brazilian player Matthias Lima,
currently the chip leader with one hundred and five big blinds.
I think they are going to play well. It says
play seventeen levels, but it's level. They play into the money,
but it's it says play seventeen levels, but they're in
the level eighteen.
Speaker 1: So I think that's how I got no, because they
didn't bust to burst the bubble, that's what that means.
Speaker 2: So they're just gonna they're gonna bag it up whenever
they play.
Speaker 1: Till the Yeah, you have to play till you get
to the money. Can't come back without being the money.
Speaker 2: Sure, I'm just I'm surprised that, like, no, like these
events have been playing deeper into the money. They probably
of things taking longer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these guys are clearly not busting over there. I mean,
come on, it's the Colosses. Let's go get your money in.
What are we doing here?
Speaker 2: So anyway, they yeah, on the money bubble right now,
and first of four flights for the five hundred dollars
they have last year. I'm trying to I'm trying to
effort to get this up. Let me pull it up.
It's in one of my stat dogs. You're nineteen million
stat dogs that you Sometimes they are important, like right now.
There were three starting flights last year, so they added
one correct that had nineteen three hundred and thirty seven
entrants touch under six million dollars in the prize. How
many do they have nineteen three hundred and thirty seven.
It was a four hundred dollar buying, So that's an
average of forty eight thirty four per flight. YEP.
Speaker 1: Last year in the opening flight they had four thousand,
six hundred and forty three. Obviously it's going to be
down when it's spread out more across the flights, you know,
having four versus three last year. So just pointing that out,
but seems a good start. Cool pick up? What's that
you'll pick up? Well, of course it's going to be
an absolute shit showing here. Yeah, fifty dollars shootout? Baby,
what's going on there?
Speaker 2: Huh well, I'm gonna well shoot out. That had two
flights today, as we mentioned it yesterday. Oh yeah, I
forgot about the second one is still going. Shout out
to our guy Gary gets Did he make it? No,
he got heads up and lost. Okay, he got heads up,
he lost eight to seven's and then and then lost.
That is very gross. Jordan West, Moland, through Qui Win,
Angela Jordanson, Eric Baldwin, Anthony Zinner, Ian Steinman, Joshua Aria,
Craig Mason. Oh I thought, I said, I haven't Demona
for a second, and I got a little freaked out.
Samuel Stonefield, Drake Kemper, Sergei, Rei rach Aram Zobian, Clayton Fletcher,
just a Nauri Nerd guy got through, Galen Hall got through,
Kevin Song got through, Jonathan Little got through. That's one
hundred players into round two. There probably going to get
another one hundred players ish I guess from Flight one B.
Maybe I'm assuming that's going to be a pretty big flight.
I'll come back tomorrow. Winner of that will advance to
the final table that is supposed to be streamed on
our dot com the third day three But ten hand
and no limit hold them when you were three hundred
big ones deep is not the best for TV, so
we may play them a little bit for the five
pm stream we have. We'll have to play around with
that when I have to crunch those numbers. But that
is that is Thursday TEMs problem. That is not Wednesday
Night Slash Thursday twelve to forty four am teams problem.
Speaker 1: And then also kicking off today was the fifteen hundred
dollars PL eight tournament.
Speaker 2: How big is this one? They have eleven hundred and
seventy six runners, There is one hundred and eighty seven
players left. They're supposed to pay fifteen levels. They're in
level fifteen. They're ten from the money. So this feels
like they're probably trying to get to the money, get
through to the money tonight, hopefully not come back tomorrow
on the bubble. John Kaye twenty five K Fantasy Drop.
The Players, the Chip Leader, Donny Rubbins seins too. Do
you know who's third in ships? Donald Nicholas Milgrim Bank
chips sewn, Dave seventh, Max Coleman, and I'm non Phelippe
Big the blomb Rengi maw All in the top ten.
As the tournament approaches the money, bo.
Speaker 1: Let's check in on twenty five K Fantasy, shall we No,
let's do it. We haven't uh, we haven't touched on
this in a bit. So I'm elver on twenty five
K fantasy dot Com right now and it is currently
Team Girl Dads leading the way.
Speaker 2: That's Jesse Lonis, Ryan Reese. That crew.
Speaker 1: They got Patrick Leonard with ninety seven points, Christian Roberts
with eighty two, David Funkuser twenty five, aramzobe in eighteen.
Ethan Yao, that's Rampage he got sixteen. They have two
hundred and forty two points doing very well? Is this team?
You know all things considered. I like this team. I
think the rampage pick is kind of questionable. I guess
it just depends on, you know, how he's playing. I
think it's a huge overspend for Jesse lonis or at
one hundred and three dollars. But you know, when he's
beating aces with five six suited you guys, you would
just pay one hundred and three dollars for him. Team Novig,
currently second with one hundred and eighty eight points, has
Brad Rubin, who won a bracelet yesterday, Rich Zoo, Chance Corneth.
Brad Rubin's got eighty two points, Yukizu's got forty six,
Chance Corneth has forty five, and then the rest of
their team hasn't really done anything. Nick Seward is mal Boujang,
Chris Brewer. I feel like I haven't even seen Chris Brewer,
Cooper Feltem and Kyle me Hoolich. I don't know who
those two. Holich he's the guy the ways the jack
in the bucks.
Speaker 2: Well, that's that.
Speaker 1: Should be illegal. He should not be allowed to be drafted.
Third place team Dinkers. They won it last year. They
got one hundred and sixty nine points. Who do they
got Benny Glauser. Oh Jesus Christ, Well, they're about to
get a boatload more points from that. They got Victor
Blam as well, seventy two points, they got Alan Lee.
Speaker 2: He's cooking. He's such a good pick.
Speaker 1: David Prociak, Dylan Wiseman, Brandon Wilson, Sergio Ido, Alex Ponakoffs.
So I have not seen Brandon Wilson, I have not
seen Sergio Ido, I have not.
Speaker 2: Seen Alex Phonakoff's correct.
Speaker 1: Feels like it's going to be hard to contend if
three of your guys aren't here. Yeah, fourth place is
US Team DPMD. We are over currently three points behind
third place, but of course the Dinkers have Benny Glauser,
so that's going to change once he does whatever he does,
probably gonna win his seventh gold bracelet. We got Steven
Song up on top of for US one hundred and
one points. Uri Reichenstein's got forty seven for US. Nico Milgram,
you said that he's cooking over in that PLO eight,
so that's good for US. John Shorman is just cashing
in every angle tournament that he plays. It is awesome.
He's gonna he's honestly, he's gonna have twenty seven cashes.
Speaker 2: I it's gonna be an amazing best one.
Speaker 1: But he's a one dollar player, so I'll take just,
you know, twenty seven points out of just non stop cashes.
Jeremy Osmas is still trying to get warmed up. Seth
Davies is still trying to get warmed up. Boris Angelov
is not here yet. They'll get here in two days,
so it's all good. And then Tommy Coral hasn't done
anything yet for us. And then let's round about the
top five.
Speaker 2: The team.
Speaker 1: Jeremi's the guy who's constantly just talking shit, Jeremy Becker.
I just want to point out that we are ahead
of Team Jeremies in the standings, you know, So for
all the shit he keeps talking, we are ahead of him.
They have Archur March rosen As one hundred and twenty
six points, and then they got Bryce Jockey, Dmity Ivanovitch,
David Bakes Baker, Josh Arey, Jeremy Becker, Yingle Lee, and
Elis Parson and who have a combined twelve points. The
worst team right now is currently Team Australia, with a
total of eleven points. They drafted od B, David Baker,
Brandon Shack, Harris Ryan The Plan, Mustafa Kni, James Ops, Diddy,
A Garn, Jerry Wong, and Romaine Morvin. But listen, it's early,
it's early. It's very very early. Well, they're Splash Sports
this time, Team Splash Sports. That's Jeff Platten, Brent Hanks,
Renji Mao did well. They got Nick Shulman. Nick Suleman's
been close a couple times, Like he just went deep
in that twenty five K half and half and then
you know, bombed out before he could make the final table.
But you know, Nick is he's going to be on
fire all summer. I'm scared of that pick. I actually
really really like this team, Renjie Mao aka, Ricky Mout,
Nick Shulman, Ren Lynn, Frank Brannon, Jason Kuhn, Adrian Matteos,
Christian Hard and Andrew Moreno. I like that team a lot.
They could score a boatload of points. So that's twenty
five K Fantasy dot com Let's drafted players. So Arch
March Rosien has the most points one hundred and twenty six.
Steven Song has the second most points one hundred and
one he's on our team. Baby, let's go. Those are
the only two players with more than one hundred points.
Speaker 2: Let's do, let's do my gifts. I'm ready to say this.
You won't even know what this is. Isn't Camel Cigarette Company.
Speaker 1: Joe Cammell a Joe Cammel poker chipset, Joe Cammel, the
ambassador for Camel cigarettes back in the day. You know,
I mean, look at him. He's he's Joe cool, He's
Joe Cammel. But yeah, I mean this is I got
this off eBay years ago. Like, I don't even like
touch it. It's still got like the stirefiance. Look see it's.
Speaker 2: Still got all the all the plastic is on.
Speaker 1: If you're this is why you should be watching on YouTube,
because I'm showing this to the camera right now. It's
got all the plastic inside. I don't even know what
these cars look like. I don't know what these chips
look like because I don't take it out of here.
Speaker 2: Is it sealed though? Or is it just like a
cop like a cop question. I never honestly keep it sealed.
Oh this is good sealed. Look it's like sealed. Yeah,
this is cool. Yeah, so I got this.
Speaker 1: Uh, I got this, Joe Campbells right there.
Speaker 2: It needs it, it needs its spot in the limelight.
I'm bringing this home. Why someone's gonna steal it? This
is legit. I mean, come on, this is legit. I
know this needs to stay on this in the shot.
Come on right, yeah, put this like this. I'm a
a lot. I'm worried about that. Well, we run the risk.
That's why we have security questionable, highly highly questionable. It is. Well,
it's almost one am, first of all.
Speaker 1: Today or yeah today, Yeah, we got we got what
do we got kicking off twenty five K six match? Yeah, baby,
let's go. That's gonna be a good one. We got
Day one B of the Colossus. That's going to be
bananas here. I mean that tournament is just going to
be freaking wild come Friday and Saturday. So I can't
wait for that. I heard producer Riches coming out and
possibly gonna.
Speaker 2: Fire that one. So wait, wait, wait, who's going to
edit the pods? I don't know, that's a good question. Yeah,
maybe we don't allow this. Why are we paying him? Oh?
Speaker 1: I think he'll get it time. We have the fifteen
hundred dollars, but do cool. So those are just three tournaments. Obviously,
this is when you know, when you have these massive
field tournaments like the Colossus shout out to the word massive,
you can't really start a whole bunch of other stuff
just because it's just impossible to fit anything in here.
And then, speaking of crowds, what's up with the parking
my pocketat I mean, this is the biggest complaint that
I've seen you. I haven't seen anything about ten handed
play because I don't think they've been playing, not yet.
I've seen maybe a tweet or two about dealer quality,
but other than that, nothing, you know. Obviously that first
one memorial down that Monday, and then a little bit
on Tuesday morning you saw some stuff about the lines
to get verified for the app. But now I don't
see any lines ever anywhere lines. I was telling you
today when we were walking from Paris to Horseshoe that
I don't feel like it's as crowded here, but I
also know that the numbers are very good, so I'm
kind of confused where they're putting people. Part of me says,
I don't see people in the hallway because the app
thing has taken care of a lot of that registration.
Speaker 2: Congestion, so you just don't see it.
Speaker 1: You don't see like when you walk right kind of
when you get into that Paris ballroom area, that's where
like the lines would come out of the registration they'd
wrap around right, so you don't see that. Great Also,
I feel like the new Paris layout helps. I feel
the new Paris.
Speaker 2: Layout is good. Yeah, I don't mind it.
Speaker 1: I mean there's even a ton of space in there
where I'm like they could have put like fifty more
tables foot.
Speaker 2: Wide open in the middle. But it's it's very good
in there, you know.
Speaker 1: So I feel like all that sort of stuff is
definitely benefiting everything. And while you know, when I'm walking
through the hallways, I don't feel like that crazy congestion
where there's a line taking up half the hallway or
whatever it is.
Speaker 2: Numbers numbers have been good. Now.
Speaker 1: This parking situation, I mean, have you parked in the garage, yes,
like twice. It's not not not during the WASP ever,
Like I parked in there once when I played a
WSP circuit event here. That was the one member when
they put it in the middle of the smoky like crazy,
and then another time like I had to come here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they there's something like basically two exits. So it's
you know a little buttleneck of you know, when the
colossus is bagging and you have four hundred people leaving
the same but it's also not working. Yeah, that's that's
the thing that's cool.
Speaker 1: Like the players are saying that, like they have a
player's card, it's not working. They have the parking ticket,
it's not working. Like they have all these difference. I
saw a I think it was China Rhem's story the
other day. Sam Severall was holding up the gate people
could just drive out. And then there's another picture that
we saw where it sounded like somebody just was over
it and ran into the gate. Johnny Vibes I saw
him put out a two today. What did he say,
I have it somewhere he said, busted and was trying
to leave at seven pm.
Speaker 2: I think this was today, maybe yesterday.
Speaker 1: A line of cars was backed up all the way
to the fifth floor, NonStop honking, people getting out of
their cars threatening to fight each other.
Speaker 2: I'll never understand that.
Speaker 1: Like why you're trying to fight each other when like
like you're in front of me on the fourth floor.
What did you have anything to do with this parking
that I gotta get mad at you?
Speaker 2: Exactly. It's just so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: People are absurd, people absolutely losing it, says Johnny Vibes.
I left my car there and found an alternate way home.
I mean, it is, it is outrageous. They definitely need
to fix it. I know that when we go to
Aria for the studio, you know, we park in the
garage and oftentimes during our series it's a madhouse in
there when the Golden Knights are playing, and a lot
of times what they'll do islet just open the gate,
let you drive out of there. So, like, I feel
like that needs to happen here. I mean, they either
need to fix the gates, which it doesn't sound like happening,
or they got to just open them like at like
nine pm, just open them and just let people out,
because it's just absurd. Now, what I will say to
the poker players out there is a couple of options. One,
there is a back parking lot that I know a
lot of poker players parking.
Speaker 2: It's like they got the same gate system.
Speaker 1: It would just be a little bit more of a
walk because you've got to walk around kind of the
side entrance. But it's not that crazy, and you can
find parking back there. I know some poker players do
park back there when everything is jammed up during the
really busy days. So you can get to it off
of Flamingo, you can get to it off of Harmon.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: You can also kind of come down Coval and then
turn onto Harmon or whatever and you can go in
that way.
Speaker 2: So there is that back option.
Speaker 1: There another option park it Belagio if you want and
walk over, you know. And the thing is is like
one a lot of poker players these days love getting
their steps in. Those are two options that are going
to allow you to get some additional steps in.
Speaker 2: Two.
Speaker 1: By time you walk to your car Blagio, you're you're
probably still sitting in the line if it is stuck
at the Horseshoe Park one hundred. So what's the big deal,
you know, park at Bolagio. So I would say those
two options are on the table, and yeah, make it happen,
especially if you're a I think if you're a PGD player,
you probably have the upgraded card that you can get
free parking at an MGM property, which means park at Blacio.
Speaker 2: I think you could get from here to Bolagio in
ten minutes.
Speaker 1: It's probably more like fifteen to twenty. But yes, you
don't bet on that. I mean, like to walk into
the front door of Blagio, sure, but to walk to
the parking garage is different.
Speaker 2: I will time it tomorrow. I'm not taking it. Doesn't
take twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: To get from from where we are from here to
the parking grow to the parking garage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead and time to tomorrow. What are we
betting on it. I'm not walking it. I'll walk in myself.
I'll walk in my boots and I'll make it in
sob twenty minutes, no problems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, or poker players, you can buy Tim's
Poker Girl parking pass for ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: I will take that.
Speaker 1: Buy in with that, and he will not cry up,
and he will not only give it to you, he
will valet your fucking car. Okay, because that is that
is what he will get for. That's what you will
get for ten thousand dollars. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, okay,
Well that's gonna do it for us, for Tim Duckworth,
thro myself, for Danie mcganny.
Speaker 2: For Joe Cammell.
Speaker 1: This has been the Poker Girl Podcast and we will
talk to you guys tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Jamie
