Speaker 1: This is this is probably what your Broncos ain't looking.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there you go. Salute the service, baby, we're
Speaker 2: not looking salute to service.
Speaker 1: I always wondered about they have all these things about
Speaker 1: the American flag, like the American flag on your hat is.
Speaker 2: Backwards, like it's flipped. It's something about but.
Speaker 3: Anyway, no I read I read about this before. But
Speaker 3: you know, it's like when you hang it in the garage,
Speaker 3: you gotta hang it a certain way. Like there's like
Speaker 3: rules whatever the flag. Cool rules with.
Speaker 2: A flag.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just seems ridiculous. But that's neither here
Speaker 1: nor there. It is all about the purple jet, purple jacket.
Speaker 1: The pokeer masters do we have rules with the purple jacket.
Speaker 1: You can only display it a certain way. You know,
Speaker 1: on the inside out of the button is messed up.
Speaker 1: I noticed on the purple jacket out there, the button
Speaker 1: is messed up, and it's extremely frustrating. Every time I
Speaker 1: walk past the thing, I see this freaking button, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, who made this thing? Why is it backwards?
Speaker 3: The US flag apiece backwards on hats and uniforms to
Speaker 3: symbolized movement forward, dating back that dates back to the
Speaker 3: Civil Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Who cares anyway, Poker masters, we're gonna talk about the
Speaker 1: six events. We're gonna kind of preview what's to come,

Speaker 1: family pot. I forgot about it last time, even though
Speaker 1: we last time we did a family plot. Anyway, we
Speaker 1: you know, shot the ship a little bit on Disneyland.
Speaker 1: But I do have another thing pertaining to uh, a
Speaker 1: trip with my family, and this one has been eating
Speaker 1: me alive for I think three weeks now.
Speaker 2: You went on another trip.
Speaker 1: Maybe two weeks. No, this is this is about talking
Speaker 1: about a trip oh in the future, okay, yeah, but
Speaker 1: the stuff that happened, you know, two to three weeks
Speaker 1: ago is really just chaps my ass. And I'm like,

Speaker 1: on top is you know, cool, it's fun. You know,
Speaker 1: you like your regulars to win, so I get it.
Speaker 1: The opening event a little bit of a different twist
Speaker 1: this year, As we highlighted last time when we previewed
Speaker 1: the series, we did what we called the Poker Masters
Speaker 1: Million Dollar Showcase, a million dollar guarantee multi flight event,
Speaker 1: two starting flights. I got in there and played in it.
Speaker 1: As we talked about how I won that satellite, but
Speaker 1: I was going to play anyway. But I got out
Speaker 1: there and played in it. Two hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 1: total entries, which I think came in all right. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll defer to you, commission. I mean, how do you
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the number? Were you sweating
Speaker 1: the guarantee? Like what what do you think? Just just
Speaker 1: speak to the number first. We'll get into some of
Speaker 1: the other stuff about the event, but let's just talk
Speaker 1: about the number to start.
Speaker 3: Thirty nine entrants Day one A at one hundred and nine.
Speaker 3: Day one B one hundred and thirty. I was very
Speaker 3: nervous on that first day. There was I think I
Speaker 3: sent you a list somewhere around fifty around rigs that
Speaker 3: we would expect to be playing, not in attendance on
Speaker 3: one A. But we did some maths. We took the
Speaker 3: people that were boss Set one, you know, we removed
Speaker 3: the satellite winners, we added the new satellite winners, and
Speaker 3: we were at about eighty nine and we needed ninety
Speaker 3: one entrance.
Speaker 2: So it was we knew it was going to be close.
Speaker 2: I was not here. I was in a different state,
Speaker 2: planning your escape, planning my scape.
Speaker 1: Had we not hit the game with you.
Speaker 2: We did not hit my garage.
Speaker 1: You want you wanted to have a four hour head
Speaker 1: start because it is five saying diego I won.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was already there, ready to hide on the beach somewhere,
Speaker 3: and you were sending me, you know, I was like,
Speaker 3: please send me updates. Thankfully we did, you know, get
Speaker 3: to that ninety one. We needed blew through. That got
Speaker 3: to one hundred and thirty. Couple of those names that
Speaker 3: didn't show on one A eventually showed up. A couple
Speaker 3: of those guys, you know, coming from Jju, coming from Trenton.
Speaker 3: So with Trenton going on, you know, with borgarda kind
Speaker 3: of wrapping up. I think two hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 3: it was a great number. You know, personally, I wish,
Speaker 3: you know one A was one thirty to make us
Speaker 3: feel a little better, but you know.
Speaker 2: The sweat was there. We got there.
Speaker 3: I would say, you know, we are planning to do
Speaker 3: this for Pola Go Cup. We're planning to do this
Speaker 3: for us poke open. I think two hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: nine is our floor. I think we'll get a bigger
Speaker 3: number of Polago Cup. You know, you and I have discussed, hey,
Speaker 3: can we add maybe one, maybe two more satellites at night?
Speaker 3: If we do that, the popularity of you know this
Speaker 3: this first time, I think, you know, going forward, it
Speaker 3: would be pretty successful event. Yes, I was a little nervous,
Speaker 3: but hey, we got through and we we we'll both
Speaker 3: still have jobs.
Speaker 2: So that's that's what's the most important to me.
Speaker 1: I got two main thoughts on the number one. I
Speaker 1: was also a little bit nervous entering Day one B,
Speaker 1: but looking back on it in hindsight, I don't think
Speaker 1: I should have been as nervous, and I think it
Speaker 1: was just a reflection of that. In this instance, PGT
Speaker 1: slash Poker Girl was putting up the guarantee, so we
Speaker 1: had much more skin in the game, which allowed us
Speaker 1: to feel the concern much more.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: I think in reality, there was probably a very small
Speaker 1: chance we missed. I mean, we would probably be the
Speaker 1: first poker Tour poker operator in the history of mankind
Speaker 1: to have the last starting flight lower than the first,
Speaker 1: you know, had we missed, I mean not that that
Speaker 1: hasn't happened before, but it's very very rare that that happened. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I think we are pretty safe all things considered.
Speaker 1: The second thing is is I actually don't think the
Speaker 1: number was successful. I think it needed to be three
Speaker 1: hundred for me to say successful, and if it didn't
Speaker 1: say three hundred, I was going to say it was
Speaker 1: not successful. So I'm not happy with the number, and
Speaker 1: I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement,
Speaker 1: Mainly sixty one entries of room for improvement.
Speaker 3: I look, yes, I thought we were going to be
Speaker 3: more around that three hundred. I would say that also,
Speaker 3: a success is just hitting two hundred. See you you
Speaker 3: can kind of look at different ways, but yeah, I
Speaker 3: was with you. I thought we were going to get
Speaker 3: money that three hundred. If we look at past five
Speaker 3: K events, you know, with the biggest one we had
Speaker 3: was one seventy seven, So just take that as a
Speaker 3: data point, you would think, Okay, we get one seventy
Speaker 3: seven on one A, we're going to get at least
Speaker 3: one twenty on.
Speaker 2: Day one BAY. But just using postata, I think we
Speaker 2: were thinking three hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking one twenty five and one seventy five.
Speaker 1: Were like how it would shake out? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: give or take a little bit on each day. But
Speaker 1: those are my two goal numbers going in.
Speaker 3: But let's let's say we add those, you know, those
Speaker 3: rigs that were missing a few new satellite plays, a
Speaker 3: few new faces here and there, then we should be
Speaker 3: kind of on that for next time.
Speaker 1: And we also ran really bad with three entries that
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent for sure. Like for example, I
Speaker 1: played Day one A and at my table the seven
Speaker 1: or eight people that played my table. A couple of
Speaker 1: people got moved off or balancing and whatnot. But I
Speaker 1: was the only person to bust before registration. Out of
Speaker 1: those seven day players, one percent, like they all made
Speaker 1: it to registration. You know, obviously some of them busted
Speaker 1: after registration, but that there are all people who would
Speaker 1: put in you know, one, two or sorry, two or
Speaker 1: three bullets and they just didn't. So and that's just variant.
Speaker 1: And it was actually pretty surprising because I felt like
Speaker 1: this event had a fairly fast structure all things considered.
Speaker 1: If you were to think about, you know, a five
Speaker 1: K buying multi flight tournament with a guarantee, if I
Speaker 1: were to just give you those things, you would probably
Speaker 1: think the structure is at a stone minimum. You know,
Speaker 1: you start two hundred and fifty big blinds deep. You
Speaker 1: got forty minute levels to start, and then you go
Speaker 1: from there. If not a better structure, you know, three
Speaker 1: hundred big blinds deep four under big blinds is deep
Speaker 1: to start our levels? Whatever. No, this is pretty fast
Speaker 1: in here, you know. We it's not that it's super fast,
Speaker 1: it just it gets down to meaningful poker quicker. You
Speaker 1: sit down, you got one hundred and twenty five big blinds.
Speaker 1: You're playing thirty minute levels, so like immediately each pot matters,
Speaker 1: like you play. You play a raised pot in level one,
Speaker 1: like it's like you're like, okay, like stacks can easily
Speaker 1: go in, you know, I mean, yeah, we're pretty deep,
Speaker 1: but like still stacks can get in here, right. You
Speaker 1: play a three bet pot and you're like, okay, like
Speaker 1: we're probably we might be playing for stacks here depending
Speaker 1: on what happened. So it's a bit faster. It speeds
Speaker 1: things up, which then led me to believe that, you know,
Speaker 1: why are people firing and re entering? What what the
Speaker 1: heck is going on? So ran a little bit bad there?
Speaker 1: If you run better there, you know, I think we
Speaker 1: get up to you know, two fifty two sixty easily
Speaker 1: you add in those players that weren't here. You know,
Speaker 1: I think we're at the three hundred number, but still
Speaker 1: I think room of improvement.
Speaker 3: I guess, before we move on to the result, the
Speaker 3: results and the other events, what do you think we
Speaker 3: should or could change or at least have you know,
Speaker 3: what's the discussion points for the next one? You know, personally,
Speaker 3: I feel like I think there is a discussion there. Hey,
Speaker 3: let's like you just mentioned, let's move the starting sack
Speaker 3: up to one fifty, one hundred and fifty thousand, but
Speaker 3: add those two more hours of registration. So basically we're talking,
Speaker 3: you know, six hours of registration instead of four level wise,
Speaker 3: not including breaks, and but you get a little more,
Speaker 3: a little more at the start. So but the guys
Speaker 3: that are in for one bullet, that's fine, they are
Speaker 3: actually going to start a little deeper. I'd actually pull
Speaker 3: some people into the to that buying point. But then
Speaker 3: also you do have that two more levels, the two
Speaker 3: more hours for like you said, the re entries, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I would explore that, you know,
Speaker 1: I would also want to explore and I know I
Speaker 1: brought this up to you before, but instead of doing
Speaker 1: it three max bullets per day, just doing two max
Speaker 1: bullets per day, just because I think that there might
Speaker 1: be some people who they come into the event where
Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, I'm going to fire three or four bullets,
Speaker 1: not six, and then they're like they bust one on
Speaker 1: the first day, and then they're like, well, I'll just
Speaker 1: go home and I'll come back and fire the max
Speaker 1: three the next.
Speaker 2: Day, so I might players have said that to you.
Speaker 1: I might do just two and two one in a
Speaker 1: re entry, one in a re entry, and then hopefully
Speaker 1: you get people just to really achieve the four.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 3: I had a point I made with Paul is that
Speaker 3: we should change the rule to be because it's six
Speaker 3: total entries right, one one buying two re entries on each,
Speaker 3: just be six total, six total, because I was thinking, like,
Speaker 3: you have a Mike Munchet kind of guy or someone
Speaker 3: that you know, we talk about the Saturday being the
Speaker 3: day too, sorry, the day one b you know, we
Speaker 3: got college sports on or you know, obviously different times
Speaker 3: we have different things on. But hey, I can only
Speaker 3: play Friday, but I can play Sunday. I can't play Saturday.
Speaker 3: So give that guy a chance of putting six bullets
Speaker 3: on that day and then he's just he's done the
Speaker 3: next day, like he can't even register, even if he's like,
Speaker 3: oh I can't play now, Like, no, sorry, You've had
Speaker 3: your six bullets. That's it. That's kind of one option
Speaker 3: I brought up with Paul here. He didn't love it,
Speaker 3: but I think it's still worth at least discussing a
Speaker 3: little further.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's that's a decent option.
Speaker 1: I think we can attack the satellites a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I thought the satellites were good, but I think we
Speaker 1: could add one or two to them, which I think
Speaker 1: is a good thing. And we're gonna we're gonna have
Speaker 1: kind of the idea of what I thought of with
Speaker 1: satellites for the PGT T Classic event that is coming
Speaker 1: up in December, so we'll be able to get some
Speaker 1: data on how we think that works, or if we
Speaker 1: do think it works, and then maybe we can push
Speaker 1: that forward to do it, you know, for the Poke
Speaker 1: Rol Cup or for the US Poke Grove and for
Speaker 1: this style of event. So all in all, my thought
Speaker 1: is good, not great room for improvement, but that's fine,
Speaker 1: you know it was, you know, I don't. I think
Speaker 1: if you come into anything and you think you're just
Speaker 1: going to bat a thousand and you're gonna get eight
Speaker 1: pluses on everything and you're gonna smash it out of
Speaker 1: the park constantly, I think you're just a fool for
Speaker 1: ever thinking that some things aren't always going to go
Speaker 1: as good as possible. And I would even say if
Speaker 1: you're constantly hitting things out of the park and smashing
Speaker 1: home runs, et cetera. You might be doing something wrong.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're falling short. For example.
Speaker 3: I think the one other thing we're discussing too, is
Speaker 3: that at the day two of the event, you know
Speaker 3: what we're going to talk about soon, was pretty short.
Speaker 3: Maybe we just combined day two with the final table,
Speaker 3: or that option is make day two a lot more
Speaker 3: play friendly, wind the clock back a bit further, you know,
Speaker 3: et cetera. So some of those little things we're gonna
Speaker 3: look at, tweak and figure out kind of the best.
Speaker 3: You know, we're always making changes here on the PGT
Speaker 3: to be the best for the players, and this one
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to look at all the different levels
Speaker 3: of it and make some adjustment for.
Speaker 1: The Poker Masters. One, maybe you do three day ones
Speaker 1: with the third day one on Sunday too, because so
Speaker 1: many of the players voice the football thing, Like that's
Speaker 1: a real thing for us. It's different in a lot
Speaker 1: of spots, and I know it breaks that rule of
Speaker 1: like you want the final flight to happen on Saturday
Speaker 1: and whatever, But like I feel like we have just
Speaker 1: kind of a different clientele of players, you know, So
Speaker 1: maybe then you just get some of these players too.
Speaker 1: It's just a little bit better for them and that
Speaker 1: they can fire the bullets on you know, Friday or
Speaker 1: Saturday and then hopefully they advance or whatever. But they
Speaker 1: have the option to play Sunday if they want. If
Speaker 1: they don't want to play, fine, If they want to
Speaker 1: watch football day, because that's what these guys want to do,
Speaker 1: then fine. You know, so maybe we just do it
Speaker 1: that way, but only for Masters because that's the only
Speaker 1: one that takes place during football season. So anyway, just
Speaker 1: the thought there. And one more thing. Did I talk
Speaker 1: about my satellite idea on the last podcast about making
Speaker 1: deals in satellites. I've talked with you about your career. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to bring it up here. Okay, because I
Speaker 1: played the satellite for this tournament and I got my seat.
Speaker 1: I was going to play anyway again, but I got
Speaker 1: a seat, so it was it was great to have
Speaker 1: that little free roll. We're down to eleven players left,
Speaker 1: nine got seats, tenth got like twenty three hundred dollars
Speaker 1: or something, and they have you know, you know how
Speaker 1: Bravo has on the screen Chop Value and Chop Valley
Speaker 1: at the time was like forty one hundred and then
Speaker 1: we lost a player, and it was like, you know, whatever,
Speaker 1: forty three hundred or something, why don't they allow chops
Speaker 1: in satellites under the notion that it is not chopped,
Speaker 1: Take the cash it is chop tape. Take a voucher
Speaker 1: for the tournament. Because we're eleven players left. If I
Speaker 1: would have said, hey, everyone, do you want to we
Speaker 1: all get forty one hundred, we have to come out
Speaker 1: of pocket for nine hundred or one thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: play the tournament, we're still saving a ton of money
Speaker 1: and we just get to end it right there, like
Speaker 1: it's just over with whatever. Not a big deal versus
Speaker 1: you risk. I mean that the ours went on forever,
Speaker 1: Like multiple people of us got in with like either
Speaker 1: between point five and two big blinds. I got in
Speaker 1: with one big blind. Like it was just it was
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous at that point. It's just like like
Speaker 1: it got to the point where because of the way
Speaker 1: the stacks were, and like the average stack was like
Speaker 1: eight big blinds or seven big blinds or something, so
Speaker 1: it's like you could really just like have high carded
Speaker 1: for the person to finish in tenth place and not
Speaker 1: get the money. So when it just becomes such a luckfest.
Speaker 1: At that point, well who even cares? And like the
Speaker 1: chip leaders, like the chip leader mic Ca, Well here's
Speaker 1: the thing. The chip leader, like the chip leader at
Speaker 1: my table was not even doing anything. He wasn't raising,
Speaker 1: Like like, dude, you should literally just be all on
Speaker 1: every hand like you're supposed to be ending this, not
Speaker 1: like the guys with two big blinds. We're all just
Speaker 1: trying to fold and tank and do this and that
Speaker 1: and the other. Like you should just be literally just
Speaker 1: put a stack out there and say I'm raising every hand,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do about it? And then finally
Speaker 1: somebody's blinded all in. But like the chip leaders like
Speaker 1: kept folding and stuff. So it's just very awkward. So
Speaker 1: why can't you just make it like listen, you guys
Speaker 1: can chop if you want, but the money that you
Speaker 1: get is just a voucher that can only be used
Speaker 1: in this tournament, just like when you cash. When I
Speaker 1: cash in the satellite, I can only use that fifty
Speaker 1: one dollar ticket to buy into the tournament. I can't
Speaker 1: go cash it out, I can't sell it, I can't
Speaker 1: do anything. So what's the difference? And then I come
Speaker 1: out of the pocket for a little bit more money.
Speaker 2: Hasn't been done before, right, like would they?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it should be a thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very unique yet what we do. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it's something we could definitely.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying it in all satellites that should just
Speaker 1: be a thing like it just it would make satellites
Speaker 1: just so much easier.
Speaker 2: That isn't that kind of why the milestone exists in
Speaker 2: a way to make things easier?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Well this is an expansion of that,
Speaker 1: and they don't do the milestone here, so let's just
Speaker 1: do this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we may do the mouse on here. We're
Speaker 2: talking about it.
Speaker 1: We should do the mouse on here anyway. David Coleman,
Speaker 1: mister Coles, he did it. He he defeated Mitchell Halverson
Speaker 1: in heads up play to take the title. Coleman and
Speaker 1: I believe it was Austin Chenko were the two chip
Speaker 1: leaders heading into the final table. You had David Coleman,
Speaker 1: you had Mitchell Halverson as the top two. David Coleman
Speaker 1: won two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, Austin Chenko got third,
Speaker 1: Steven Song got fourth, Spencer Champlain got fifth. I'll hit
Speaker 1: on him a little bit more on a second. Doug
Speaker 1: Lee got six. I'll also hit on him a little
Speaker 1: bit more on a second, and Jim Agotts got seventh
Speaker 1: place there in that one. Spencer Champlain won the opening
Speaker 1: event of Poker Masters last year and now wasn't the
Speaker 1: same format. It was just a straight five K, two
Speaker 1: day event, but he satellited into that event. He got
Speaker 1: heads up with Jessica Vierling, another satellite winner, and then
Speaker 1: Spencer Champlain went on to win. So he tries to
Speaker 1: go back to back. It's fifth place this time. Pretty
Speaker 1: cool there. Doug Lee won a satellite. He played the
Speaker 1: same satellite I did. He won his seed in he
Speaker 1: goes on to finish sixth place cashes for forty nine K.
Speaker 1: He played the final satellite at Venetian for the PGT
Speaker 1: Venetian in Las Vegas Classic. He won a seat there.
Speaker 1: He went on to finish third in that event for
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty K. So satellite King Doug Leek,
Speaker 1: Doug Lee is freaking back and he is the satellite King,
Speaker 1: which is just unbelievable. And we're going to hit on
Speaker 1: Doug Lee a little bit more throughout this podcast because
Speaker 1: he has had some more results, the resurgence of Doug Lee.
Speaker 1: He is back.
Speaker 2: He's back.
Speaker 1: It's just absolutely incredible. Just some other notable finishes here.
Speaker 1: Andrew Lucky, Chewy Lichtenberger got tenth in this one. David
Speaker 1: od b Baker, even though he told us he wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna play it because Day two was on Sunday, he said,
Speaker 1: you know what, this Sunday sucks for the NFL. I'm
Speaker 1: playing it anyway. He made Day two. He got sixteenth,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Osma's got seventeenth, Andrew Marino got nineteenth, Justin Zachi
Speaker 1: got twenty fifth, Michael Burke got twenty eighth, Joey Wiseman
Speaker 1: thirty first, Jim Callipee thirty second. Also Jim Igott, Jagot Aggat,
Speaker 1: Jim Aggott, Sorry, Jim Maggott. I know because they wrote
Speaker 1: on the log for our commentators they wrote, ah dash
Speaker 1: got so I thought that was ah Gottah. Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's Agate is his name, which he corrected afterwards. Like,
Speaker 1: we talked with him the next day and he's like,
Speaker 1: you're saying my last name wrong. He was totally nice
Speaker 1: about it. He was fine, but I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: well this is what they put on the blog, So
Speaker 1: how would you read that? I mean that says I
Speaker 1: got so anyway, Jim Aggott another satellite winner into this one,
Speaker 1: and he went on to finish seventh place. So two
Speaker 1: satellite winners, Doug Lee and Jim Aggott sixth and seventh
Speaker 1: both made the final table. I already mentioned the forty
Speaker 1: nine K for Doug Lee, forty K for Jim Aggot.
Speaker 1: Other satellite winners, you had Keegan Westover, he got twentieth
Speaker 1: place for thirteen thousand dollars. You had and you abral
Speaker 1: another satellite winner eighty six hundred dollars for her. You
Speaker 1: had Aaron Massey, another satellite winner, eighty six hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for him. So five satellite winners cashed in this event,
Speaker 1: turning five hundred sixty dollars into at least eighty six hundred,
Speaker 1: if not more. Doug Lee cash for the most out
Speaker 1: of the satellite winners forty nine K. So for anyone
Speaker 1: out there that thinks of playing the satellites, yes, that
Speaker 1: that sort of pathway, that sort of dream is still
Speaker 1: very much alive through these satellites, so definitely take advantage
Speaker 1: of them when they do happen at ari at poker.
Speaker 1: A good final table. You know, we streamed multiple days
Speaker 1: from this event. It was a lot of fun, you
Speaker 1: know to watch kind of the progression through it all
Speaker 1: some big hands as well. So overall, I very much
Speaker 1: enjoyed the product, and you know, I look forward to
Speaker 1: bringing it back, but also tackling it from an improvement standpoint.
Speaker 1: Mike Zolker won Event number two. Event number two had
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty entries. He defeated guess who, Mitchell Halverson,
Speaker 1: who just finished second place in the event before Mitchell
Speaker 1: Halverson starts off his twenty twenty five Poker Master's campaign
Speaker 1: with back to back runner up finishes. Zulker took home
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars, Halverson one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So Halverson one hundred and eighty five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for the first one. One hundred thousand dollars. Here,
Speaker 1: two events down, he's cash for two hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: five k. Seems like a pretty sweet start for him.
Speaker 1: Fantastic style, Yeah, Zolker. He entered this final table at
Speaker 1: VET number two with the chip lead. Can't remember if
Speaker 1: he lost the chip leader at all. Maybe he did
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but he pretty much dominated from
Speaker 1: start to finish, played extremely well, was certainly on his game,
Speaker 1: dominated when he needed to, you know, exercise the big
Speaker 1: stack when he needed to, and ultimately came out on
Speaker 1: top of it all for one hundred and fifty seven
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. He was someone who came into PGT Bounty
Speaker 1: Blitz with a question for you saying like, oh, it
Speaker 1: says I only have two cashes, I actually have three.
Speaker 1: I think you verified that he did have three. He's
Speaker 1: in the top forty of the lead aboard. This obviously helps,
Speaker 1: you know, make him more of a candidate to qualify
Speaker 1: for the PGT Million Dollar Championship. How many points does
Speaker 1: he have?
Speaker 2: Total? Seven?
Speaker 3: Okay, so he should be feel pretty confident that he's
Speaker 3: going to be uh good, too good to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he basically won this event and then took
Speaker 1: his kids to Disney World in Florida. So that's why
Speaker 1: he hasn't been here. I don't believe I saw I
Speaker 1: saw on Instagram the other day. I don't follow a
Speaker 1: lot of these players on Instagram, but because I managed
Speaker 1: the poker growing PGT accounts, I see all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and sometimes I like, forget, we'll get what account I'm on,
Speaker 1: or like what a kind of had on? So I
Speaker 1: open it up and I'm like, I don't follow this person.
Speaker 1: Why am I looking at this person?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: So it's just funny to see all the different stuff.
Speaker 1: Also in this one, Jeremy Becker kind of continues his
Speaker 1: little PGT hot streak that he's been on. Twelfth place
Speaker 1: for him, Chino rieim got sixteenth, Sam Laskowitz nineteenth. And
Speaker 1: about Sam Laskowitz, I didn't bring it up when we
Speaker 1: talked about the million Dollar Showcase, but I will bring
Speaker 1: it up here because seeing his name with a mincash
Speaker 1: here jogged my memory. He bubbled both flights of the
Speaker 1: showcase stone Bubble both flights. That is pretty ridiculous for
Speaker 1: that to happen. So Sam last stone Bubble twice. He
Speaker 1: was a short stack hitting in on the bubble in
Speaker 1: event too. He got it all in and but I
Speaker 1: was just like, oh my god, this is really gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Three. Could you imagine that he's in a row? I
Speaker 2: mean that'd be what he's not getting the money for
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 1: And so event number three we kicked the buying up
Speaker 1: to ten K one hundred and one entries. There Andrew
Speaker 1: Moreno comes out on top two hundred and fifty two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for him. Moreno's knocked on the PGT door
Speaker 1: a handful of times here inside the studio. He has
Speaker 1: won a PGT qualifying event before, when he won the
Speaker 1: Win Millions. Was it was it called the Win Millions.
Speaker 1: He won that event ten k at the wind for
Speaker 1: a bit over a million dollars. But here in the studio,
Speaker 1: you know, I think he had a couple of third
Speaker 1: place finishes some other final tables, but he finally broke
Speaker 1: through here and took down event number three ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars buying. Nolan had hold him brought and bat finished
Speaker 1: in second. Sam Laskowitz there he is there, he is
Speaker 1: third place, heating up Jeremiah yeah right, Matthew Wantman fifth place,
Speaker 1: John ord In sixth place, Miles Malayy seventh place. And
Speaker 1: then we go to event number four. Darren Elias who
Speaker 1: skipped the showcase but has been playing everything everything since
Speaker 1: he won event number four. Nice little uptick in numbers two.
Speaker 1: Same so event three, four, five, and six are all
Speaker 1: ten ks, right, and seven and seven are all ten k,
Speaker 1: so five ten ks. Nice to see an uptick from
Speaker 1: the first ten k to the second ten k. First
Speaker 1: one got one on one, second one got one twelve,
Speaker 1: so you know, it's nice to see that. Definitely saw
Speaker 1: some players, you know, coming in, whether it be from
Speaker 1: maybe from Borgata, whether it be from Triton, you know,
Speaker 1: like Land and Tice for example. Is like I was
Speaker 1: in Mexico playing the online series, like you know, all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, but people started to come in.
Speaker 1: Darren Elias won this one two hundred and eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for him. David Chen second place, Neil Warren third place,
Speaker 1: Stephen Song fourth place, Stephen Song fourth place. Again he
Speaker 1: got fourth place in the showcase, so he got fourth
Speaker 1: place here. Adam Hendrix's fifth Victoria Liftshitz sixth and look
Speaker 1: at seventh place. Mitchell Halverson just back again has yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, right is absolutely crushing. Then we have event
Speaker 1: number five, another ten k. Just copy paste the entries
Speaker 1: and the and the payouts because same field size, same payouts,
Speaker 1: same everything, different winner. Though we had Chino Reem coming
Speaker 1: out on top. Gino Reem entered this final table with
Speaker 1: quite a large chip lead. He had over five million.
Speaker 1: I think the next closest was around two to two
Speaker 1: and a half million. Massive, yeah, very very big lead.
Speaker 1: Shout out master. John Riordan came into the found table
Speaker 1: with like five big blocks. But then so John Ordan
Speaker 1: shoves the first hand, picks up some chips, the second hand,
Speaker 1: Aces Kings and Ace King get it all in. Andrew
Speaker 1: Liechtenberger and Aram Zobean are both eliminated by Anatoly Nicotin,
Speaker 1: and John Riordan ladders up two spots when he has
Speaker 1: like seven big lines. Just absolutely wild stuff. So that happened.
Speaker 1: John Riordan ended up cashing for seventy two five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars when he probably thought, you know, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: getting forty So that's great. Fourth place in this one
Speaker 1: stevensong again just you know, always getting fourth place at
Speaker 1: the Poker Masters this season, I guess Daniel Gebba who
Speaker 1: he his largest score coming into the Poker Masters was
Speaker 1: when he final tabled the club WPT goal five million
Speaker 1: dollar free roll. I think he got third place in
Speaker 1: that for like one hundred and twenty five k. But
Speaker 1: and then probably you know, some bounties or what not.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they did a deal, but who knows.
Speaker 1: But he's been playing all series long here in the studio.
Speaker 1: It's good to see Daniel gebe here. He also had
Speaker 1: a deep run. I believe in Venetian, did you have
Speaker 1: a deep renovation fifty? Very aggressive player, confident player. He'll
Speaker 1: certainly get after it. So when he's on a feature
Speaker 1: table or a final table, he's very entertaining to watch play,
Speaker 1: especially when he has chips. But China Reim got the
Speaker 1: best of them in this one. China Reim doing it again.
Speaker 1: He believe this moved him into the top five of
Speaker 1: the season long PGT lead aboard. Chino's had a pretty
Speaker 1: great season overall. He told Tim and I at the
Speaker 1: end of last season that we could bet everything that
Speaker 1: we owned that he would qualify for the PGT Million
Speaker 1: dollars Championship, and I mean he is. He's as locked
Speaker 1: in as you can be locked in without this thing
Speaker 1: being over. So China Reim made good on that proclamation,
Speaker 1: and it looks like he's going to go on to
Speaker 1: uh to qualify for the championship. And now he's challenging
Speaker 1: for the Purple jacket. And then I at number six,
Speaker 1: the event that wrapped up today. Alex Foxen, who came
Speaker 1: straight off the plane from career. He flew in from Korea.
Speaker 1: He landed at Harry Reid International. He came straight to
Speaker 1: the studio. Luggage and all luggage was out here by
Speaker 1: the bar. I was like, who's luggage is? There's like
Speaker 1: three suitcases. I go on, I look it says, you know,
Speaker 1: William Foxon.
Speaker 2: On.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy just came straight off the plane.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, guys, poker is not going anywhere you
Speaker 1: can go. You can go rest for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, he wins event number six, two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy two thousand dollars. There he beat guess who Doug
Speaker 1: Lee end. Doug freakin' Lee is back.
Speaker 2: He is back.
Speaker 1: I mean, this run on the PGT for Doug Lee
Speaker 1: is just wild stuff. Doug Lee cashes for one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty thousand dollars. Martin Zemani third, Andrew Luchneberger was
Speaker 1: deep again. Fourth, r J Sullivan fifth. RJ. Sullivan's been
Speaker 1: playing everything here. Good to see him, you know, making
Speaker 1: his first foray into a PGT series here at the studio.
Speaker 1: Bin Wang got sixth. Matthew McEwan got seventh, Jeremy Becker fourteenth.
Speaker 1: Still kind of hot is Jeremy Becker at least in
Speaker 1: terms of like cashing? You know, he's he's missing out
Speaker 1: on you know, the very deep runs of the final tables,
Speaker 1: but he's still putting up those cases.
Speaker 2: Twelve cashes this season.
Speaker 3: I know, it's why he's it's one hundred and seventy fourth,
Speaker 3: but there's only eighteen people that have more cashes than
Speaker 3: him above it, I mean, shows that like, okay, he's
Speaker 3: doing He's just like not getting those big cashes, but
Speaker 3: he is, he's knocking on that doll.
Speaker 2: He's knocking hard.
Speaker 1: How many if he continues like this sort of pace,
Speaker 1: he's gonna need what twenty five cashes to qualify for
Speaker 1: thirty cashes? Thirty five cashes? I mean, I hope j
Speaker 1: Bex makes it through. I mean, but he's just again
Speaker 1: it's just small cash after small cash. You know, those
Speaker 1: are the six winners so far. What you got on
Speaker 1: Alex Foxton? Don't you have some stats? Yes he's not.
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, Fox and winning this. If Foxton
Speaker 1: finished top three at the final table today, that that completed,
Speaker 1: then he was going to move ahead head of Michael
Speaker 1: Mzrocky to take number one on the PGT Season Long
Speaker 1: leader a ward, and he did that, so he is
Speaker 1: the new front runner. I believe he was the front
Speaker 1: runner before at some point during the season, but now.
Speaker 3: He's back up, back on top. Yeah, having a great season. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Alex foxon to this win. It was tenth PGT title,
Speaker 3: you know. So he joined Steven Chidwick, Sam Several, Daniel
Speaker 3: Lgrano as those players with more than ten titles, several
Speaker 3: leading with twelve. This was also his seventy third PGT
Speaker 3: career final table. That's extending his lead there. He also
Speaker 3: extended his leading cases. This was his ninety ninth PGT
Speaker 3: career cash. He's got some chips out there right now
Speaker 3: in events seven, so he might be looking for that
Speaker 3: big one hundred. And he also overtook Steven Chidwick for
Speaker 3: most PGT points in his career. He now has ninety
Speaker 3: eight hundred Steven Childwick four points less.
Speaker 1: So that was crazy. So Steve we have yet to see.
Speaker 1: Steven should really correct. Yeah, I mean maybe he comes
Speaker 1: for starting on Monday, it's going to be fifteen ks
Speaker 1: in a two, fifteen ks in a twenty five K.
Speaker 1: So maybe he you know, pops in he went to
Speaker 1: trading as well, so it could be a late addition
Speaker 1: to the Poger Masters.
Speaker 3: You never know, so if everything kind of if the
Speaker 3: poker got out there, what's the work He's magic spin
Speaker 3: his web. He'll make Alex Foxon win this event, so
Speaker 3: he'll get both. He's one hundred cash and he's ten
Speaker 3: thousandth PGT point only one one perfect. Yeah, it's never
Speaker 3: gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Like we can't you know, I don't know, man, don't
Speaker 2: ever say it. Never, We shouldn't say it, but like, yeah,
Speaker 2: like it can't be that surely can't be that perfect.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Alex fox and extending his lead in these categories.
Speaker 3: He's dominance on the PGT, having a pretty incredible season.
Speaker 2: What is it? Two went four hundred points.
Speaker 3: Ryan now definitely the front runner to takedown PGT Player
Speaker 3: of the Year for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Again, we are recording this on Saturday, September twenty seventh.
Speaker 1: That has just past seven pm. Now the field for
Speaker 1: Event seven, the final ten K of the series, is locked.
Speaker 1: Seventy seven entries there, two hundred and twenty three thousand
Speaker 1: dollars up, top the top eleven will pay. So hopefully
Speaker 1: if you're listening to that or listening to this on
Speaker 1: Monday morning, if we get it out in time, then
Speaker 1: you'll be able to watch that final table because we
Speaker 1: do take Sundays off on the PGT ninety nine point
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time other than we're doing a showcase. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll be able to watch that final table on Monday.
Speaker 1: Final tables all next week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. We're
Speaker 1: also bringing back the Day one coverage starting on Monday night,
Speaker 1: so plenty of Poker Masters action to come.
Speaker 2: Philm did pop in for an event for one event
Speaker 2: eight minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gave us all eight minutes, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's he's like just.
Speaker 2: I mean he.
Speaker 1: All he does is talk about like it hurts my
Speaker 1: feelings and people make fun of my play legacy, this
Speaker 1: legacy that I like, Well, then why don't you hear
Speaker 1: every single day? I mean, why, why why aren't you
Speaker 1: here showing the people that you can do it, proving
Speaker 1: to these guys that you can do it, and showing
Speaker 1: everyone that you are the best player in the world, like, like,
Speaker 1: you know, for as much as chatter as he does
Speaker 1: on social media about that specific thing, like, then he
Speaker 1: should be here every single day. Yeah, he really should be.
Speaker 1: So that's my thing. On Helmyth Poker Master's leaderboard, Mitchell
Speaker 1: Halverson is on top. He's got three cashes, he's got
Speaker 1: those two runner up finishes, and then he's got seventh
Speaker 1: place finish. He's got three hundred and thirty points. But
Speaker 1: this race is really this is good. I feel like
Speaker 1: in the past we've had like one guy like kind
Speaker 1: of way out in front. Here. It's I mean, it
Speaker 1: looked like Halverson at first, right, you know, he was
Speaker 1: kind of starting to run away with the thing where
Speaker 1: like he's going to finish second, you know, final table,
Speaker 1: every event, et cetera. But so he's got three thirty.
Speaker 1: David Coleman has three oh three, so he's pretty close.
Speaker 1: Steven Song three oh two, gin O Reim two ninety,
Speaker 1: Darren Elias too eighty, Alex fox In two seventy, Andrew
Speaker 1: Morino two sixty five, and then I'll cut it off
Speaker 1: here at Doug Lee two forty two, you know, and
Speaker 1: then the next ones are there's a pair one eighty five,
Speaker 1: and then it goes down from there. But you know,
Speaker 1: there's eight people with two hundred and forty two points
Speaker 1: or more, and there's what, there's less than ninety points
Speaker 1: separating eighth and first, So I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: pretty close race. And you know, the ten k events
Speaker 1: count for a lot, the fifteen k obviously, the fifteen
Speaker 1: k's obviously count for a lot, and then we have
Speaker 1: the twenty five k finale coming up, So I mean
Speaker 1: this is like, this is a great race. We're gonna see,
Speaker 1: you know, how it shakes out for this ten k
Speaker 1: event number seven, and then we'll obviously have that final
Speaker 1: table on Monday, and then you know, obviously getting into
Speaker 1: the bigger buying events, the two fifteen's and the twenty
Speaker 1: five So I mean, this is I love. I love
Speaker 1: when the leader board race is super close and competitive,
Speaker 1: and this feels like we're going to enter that twenty
Speaker 1: five k and you always do the thing where it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: once once, the once the prize pool law, and we know,
Speaker 1: like what the points are, we can figure out who's
Speaker 1: still in contention and who's not. I feel like we
Speaker 1: might have twenty five people in contention, right, I mean that,
Speaker 1: but that's what we want, like we want everyone fighting
Speaker 1: for it at the end, it is, you know, really
Speaker 1: cool overall. I mentioned Mitchell Halverson Steven Song who's in
Speaker 1: third with three hundred and two points. He's got four cases.
Speaker 1: He's got the most caches at the twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: Poker Masters. Halson's got three, Doug Lee's got three, Andrew
Speaker 1: Liichtenberger's got three. Jeremiah Williams has three, Matthew Wantman has three,
Speaker 1: Matthew McEwan has three, Justin Zaki has three. He must
Speaker 1: be three really small ones for him. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there's plenty of plenty of firepower left, plenty of
Speaker 1: points to be one. So I mean this race is
Speaker 1: going to be great right down to the end. So
Speaker 1: love it. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2: Anything on the.
Speaker 3: Race, No, but I have a duck up, bringing back
Speaker 3: the duck up? What's the duck up? Who's duck up?

Speaker 2: tag with Kayley that never ends. So he's now really
Speaker 2: switched on. Okay.
Speaker 3: He's like safe zone downstairs, safe zone stairs, safe zone upstairs,
Speaker 3: safe zone garage, safe zone school. He'll wake up, he
Speaker 3: wakes up early six am. I'll get up like seven am.
Speaker 3: My door will open. I'll open my door to you know,
Speaker 3: head on the whole way to head downstairs, and from downstairs,
Speaker 3: he'll be like safe son downstairs. He's just not okay.
Speaker 3: So I'm like I just can't get this kid. So
Speaker 3: then last night I got him a little early and
Speaker 3: I'm just like I just feel like being a menace.
Speaker 3: So I'm like wrestling him. I'm jumping on him, I'm
Speaker 3: throwing his toys everywhere.
Speaker 2: He's getting real mad. He's getting real mad.
Speaker 3: I throw I grab his favorite like spot, it's like
Speaker 3: a little like labrador thing. I throw it upstairs, like
Speaker 3: over the railing. He's like, he's like, you know right,
Speaker 3: he gets to the stay. I'm standing right there laughing
Speaker 3: at him, like, oh you don't have spot haha. He
Speaker 3: steps on the steps to go upstairs. I tag him,
Speaker 3: say safe soone downstairs and he face goes round and
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there like I'm flexing, and I'm like, I
Speaker 3: got you, sucker, I got you.
Speaker 2: His mom's laughing her head up because he's like, he's
Speaker 2: I've been it.
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna get hurt.
Speaker 2: I've been it for like twelve days.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a family pot where you come in saying,
Speaker 1: how like you know, somebody broke their arm or like something.
Speaker 1: Because this is starting to get to the point where
Speaker 1: it's it's getting intense, so I can.
Speaker 2: Tell look, I'm celebrating.
Speaker 3: He goes he get he comes out and say he's
Speaker 3: like he's like he's giving me all like little kid,
Speaker 3: you know curse words that I don't really you know,
Speaker 3: cuss but I'm there flexing. It's like, why are you flexing?
Speaker 3: You don't even have muscles. Well, I mean he's just
Speaker 3: going at me. But anyway, I got him so good.
Speaker 3: And then I forgot to say safe son. When I
Speaker 3: came downstairs today and he tagged me so now I'm
Speaker 3: back in. So now twelve days I might getting back in.
Speaker 1: I'm just here for I'm here for the injury. The
Speaker 1: tag injury is coming.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen, for sure, happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're more prone to the injury because you're older. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and he's like, you know, like Gumby when
Speaker 1: they're young.
Speaker 2: So it's fine, all right.
Speaker 1: So my family, Pop, it's been absolutely eating at me,
Speaker 1: and it's still eating at me that multiple weeks after
Speaker 1: this has happened. I'm bringing it up. Okay, I've had
Speaker 1: multiple conversations with people about this thing. It's it's a
Speaker 1: whole thing. My family, the bigger family, like my mom's
Speaker 1: side of the family, we do a big trip, right
Speaker 1: every couple of years. We did Martha's Vineyard a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, which I think I did a podcast
Speaker 1: from I think I'm with you, I mean obviously with you,
Speaker 1: but I did a podcast where I was like sitting
Speaker 1: out front on the porch in Martha's Vineyards. So anyway,
Speaker 1: beginning of September, my cousin in law, who's I guess
Speaker 1: she's in charge of this organizing it. So she starts
Speaker 1: sends an email to the whole group. You know, She's like,
Speaker 1: we're starting to think of this. Can we think about
Speaker 1: dates whatever? We want to do this for twenty twenty six. Okay,
Speaker 1: so end of like end of July early August is
Speaker 1: like the timeframe. So they're kind of going back on
Speaker 1: the dates whatever. Twelve days ago, she replies, she writes
Speaker 1: this email. She says, the ocumency is going to be
Speaker 1: nineteen people when you include all adults, and now everyone's
Speaker 1: got kids. So it's this whole thing. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit hard to obviously find a place that's that that
Speaker 1: that is that big first issue here is she puts
Speaker 1: the cost in here and then she puts the cost
Speaker 1: at X per person, which I'm immediately like, well that's
Speaker 1: wrong because she took the total cost and she divided
Speaker 1: up by nineteen and she says kids, right. I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: when I go to let's say I just went to
Speaker 1: Disneyland with my two kids, my kids don't cost X
Speaker 1: per person. My kids just come and they sleep in
Speaker 1: our beds, they don't travel, like, it's not the same, right,
Speaker 1: So it really is two x the price that what
Speaker 1: she put for me and my wife, right, So that's
Speaker 1: my first issue, Like you're trying to make it seem
Speaker 1: like that's true, and that's that's just not true. I
Speaker 1: just don't believe that. Then, Like, so, why why should
Speaker 1: like why should my wife and I pay double what
Speaker 1: my two parents pay when we're like taking up the
Speaker 1: same space and traveling like all that sort of stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right now, if my kids need their own room and whatever, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll pay the extra money. But they're gonna be sleeping
Speaker 1: like in the bed with us probably, So that's my
Speaker 1: first thing. My second thing is like she puts its
Speaker 1: ex per person, not including the fact that we're the
Speaker 1: only ones that have to fly our asses across the
Speaker 1: freaking country, which I have a massive issue with this
Speaker 1: every single time we bring this up, because I'm like,
Speaker 1: why don't we why don't we keep it fair and
Speaker 1: meet somewhere where everyone has to track where's this trip?
Speaker 1: They're looking at Martha's Vineyard again, which is the whole
Speaker 1: nother issue, because hello, we've done that before. Okay, been there,
Speaker 1: done that, Let's go somewhere else. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if people are aware, but Martha's Vineyards is expensive as so, yes,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculously expensive, and like, I don't know if my
Speaker 1: parents are like they won the fucking lottery or something,
Speaker 1: and like everyone's like has all this money, but like
Speaker 1: I don't have money to go to freaking Martha's vineyard
Speaker 1: every two years. I just don't. Okay, So anyway, there's that.
Speaker 1: So she she outlines this whole thing in the email.
Speaker 1: Then she says at the bottom she writes a couple questions,
Speaker 1: and she puts the questions. The first one, there's there's
Speaker 1: like twelve people in this email, I don't know. She
Speaker 1: puts the first question, is this totally out of budget
Speaker 1: for anyone?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: That's the first question. So I don't even need to
Speaker 1: read any further because yes, answer yes, I respond, I'm
Speaker 1: reading you exactly what I wrote at the entire whole group.
Speaker 1: I say, yes, this would be very out of budget
Speaker 1: for us. Okay. Now, I will tell you that when
Speaker 1: I wrote my answer, I first wrote, yes, this is
Speaker 1: and then I quote I just copy her thing and
Speaker 1: said totally out of budget for us. And I thought
Speaker 1: that me saying totally out of budget for us was
Speaker 1: a little too much, so I I changed it to
Speaker 1: what I thought was lesser, and I said, yes, this
Speaker 1: would be very out of budget for us period sent
Speaker 1: the email.
Speaker 2: No I mentioned on the flats, No, I don't want.
Speaker 1: To get into all that nonsense, Like, was that was
Speaker 1: I being harsh in this email?
Speaker 2: Like depends soft your cousin.
Speaker 1: So I snapped, get an email from my brother on
Speaker 1: the side that says be more direct next time, and
Speaker 1: I reply, I mean, this is a side email right
Speaker 1: now he sends me just to me, he says, be
Speaker 1: more direct next time, to which I said, fine, fuck
Speaker 1: off with a comment like that peace sign like and
Speaker 1: then he like then he's like, he writes back, gotta
Speaker 1: have a softer touch with the in laws. I'll call
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. Like I was asked a question, I gave
Speaker 1: a direct but a very simple answer, and I'm an
Speaker 1: asshole for being too direct. So I was like so
Speaker 1: annoyed with this whole situation, like the way that my
Speaker 1: brother did whatever he tried to call me the next day,
Speaker 1: I fucking ended that thing. I'm over it, Like whatever
Speaker 1: he sent me a text, I'm not I'm not talking
Speaker 1: to him right now, Okay, I'm just not. Like he's like,
Speaker 1: are you ignoring me or not? I didn't respond whatever
Speaker 1: he can when I get an apology from him. That's fine.
Speaker 1: I put exactly what I just outlined to you. I
Speaker 1: put it in we have for the Grid airon Gamble podcast.
Speaker 1: We have our discord server. I put it in there.
Speaker 1: I put it in my multiple other group chats. I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about on this podcast. I'm asking everyone, was
Speaker 1: I too freaking harsh with this? Was my response? Too harsh?
Speaker 1: Everyone says no. Couple days after this happens, I talked
Speaker 1: to my mom on the phone. She tells me that
Speaker 1: I should have replied to the email like this, and
Speaker 1: then tells me how I should have replied to the email.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, now I'm getting scolded from my mom.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm not scolding you. I'm like, you're telling
Speaker 1: me how I should have replied. I should have said, like, hi,
Speaker 1: so and so, you know, thanks for doing all the research.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, Like what is this? You know what
Speaker 1: that is? That is the corporate That is the corporate
Speaker 1: passive aggressiveness. When you write someone an email and you
Speaker 1: say hi, hope you're well, blah blah. Who gives a crap?
Speaker 1: Like No, I was asked a question. I gave an
Speaker 1: answer if you didn't want to ask other questions, well,
Speaker 1: hold on, if you didn't want me to answer. These
Speaker 1: are my family members who I've known since I was
Speaker 1: freaking born. They know how I am. Okay, if you
Speaker 1: didn't want the answer from me, don't ask me the question, okay.
Speaker 1: And then I said to my mom, I said, you
Speaker 1: know what, if I can't be myself, I'm not coming
Speaker 1: on this stupid trip. I'm just not doing it. Like,
Speaker 1: what's the point that I have to tiptoe around people
Speaker 1: asking me questions? Like if they say, hey, you know, Donnie,
Speaker 1: do you want a hamburger for dinner? And I say no,
Speaker 1: I don't want a hamburger?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Am I going to get in control? So I have
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I appreciate you asking me
Speaker 1: if I would like a hamburger, you know, but at
Speaker 1: this time I would I would not like a hamburger.
Speaker 1: I'm going to pass on the hamburger. But I do
Speaker 1: really appreciate you asking, like, what what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Sign of the world these days?
Speaker 1: Everyone is too f and soft, And I'm putting my
Speaker 1: foot down because this is bs as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 1: and now I'm really pissed off about the whole.
Speaker 2: I kind of get what your mom's saying, like having
Speaker 2: a little more to the email, dude.
Speaker 1: I was asked a question and I said, I, yes,
Speaker 1: this would be very out of budget for us. End
Speaker 1: of story, which I said to my mom. I said
Speaker 1: to my mom, you know, I could have replied with
Speaker 1: how I think her math is wrong and we have
Speaker 1: to travel across the US and all this story stuff,
Speaker 1: but I left all that stuff out of there because
Speaker 1: I thought that would be too much, and I just wrote, yes,
Speaker 1: this would be very odd budget. I probably would have
Speaker 1: brought up the math end of story, like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Like what were the other questions she asked?
Speaker 1: Do we want to explore two or three smaller houses?
Speaker 1: Do we want to look at other areas? But they're
Speaker 1: not like it's like still like it's like Nantucket, Cape
Speaker 1: Cod Coast, the same, the same thing, like you know whatever,
Speaker 1: that that's it. I didn't even bother to respond to
Speaker 1: those because it's just out of budget and I'm not
Speaker 1: I can't afford this, so I'm not going to so whatever. Also, listen,
Speaker 1: I will say that it is. It is slightly embarrassing
Speaker 1: to have to say something is out of budget, right,
Speaker 1: So like, why are people coming at me for being
Speaker 1: direct when like I just admitted that we're not going
Speaker 1: to overextend ourselves through this, Like is budget or is
Speaker 1: it that I'm not spending but I'm not spending the
Speaker 1: amount of money that it would take based on this
Speaker 1: calculation to bring the force me wifelation. No, it's it's
Speaker 1: way too much money. It needs to be it needs
Speaker 1: to be half this at minimum.
Speaker 2: Whoa, I mean, how much does acust of flyout there
Speaker 2: with four of me?
Speaker 1: That's been a couple hundred dollars? Oh that's cheap, Okay,
Speaker 1: no per person? Probably, Yeah. And my daughter now is
Speaker 1: of the age where she has to get her own things,
Speaker 1: So like it's, you know, it's a whole thing not
Speaker 1: to mention traveling with two kids on a freaking plane
Speaker 1: is a disaster anyway, So like the whole thing is
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. I know there's some thought where it's like, listen,
Speaker 1: I live across the country from my family and you
Speaker 1: don't get to see them a lot, especially my parents,
Speaker 1: who I want to see as much as possible, and
Speaker 1: I should try and see them as often as possible.
Speaker 1: My pushback to that is be like, for this price,
Speaker 1: I could probably travel back and forth to my parents'
Speaker 1: house six times a year, so I don't need.
Speaker 2: To do this.
Speaker 1: Like this just seems ridiculous to me. Yeah, Like, and
Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that I'm like and the
Speaker 1: fact that she did not respond to my email tells
Speaker 1: me that she probably told someone that I upset her,
Speaker 1: and like, it's this whole thing. So I just think
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. So if you guys out there think I
Speaker 1: was being ridiculous, if you think I was being too harsh,
Speaker 1: you guys can email at PokerGO dot com and let
Speaker 1: me know I was. But I might be very direct
Speaker 1: to you in my email response back and I don't care.
Speaker 1: Or you can comment on the YouTube video, or you
Speaker 1: can hit me up on social media. Just tweet at me,
Speaker 1: Donnie Underscore Peters, that's fine too. I want to know
Speaker 1: what the people think. So far it is overwhelmingly on
Speaker 1: my side. Overwhelmingly on my side. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: think that this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Rich clip this form. When we get to July next
Speaker 2: year and Donnie's like, yeah, I'm going to Martha's vineyard
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks with the family.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to marth this vineyard unless I win
Speaker 1: the napt Las Vegas main event, like it does not happen.
Speaker 2: Okay. Is that binding? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That can be binding. The hell that I'll win eight
Speaker 1: hundred k. Good, I'll take the trip, I mean, but.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'll want them to fix the prices.
Speaker 1: There was I was I too direct? Be honest with me.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, well, it's hard for me to say
Speaker 3: that because you've been like that to me for the
Speaker 3: last eighteen years, so like I'm used to it. Okay,
Speaker 3: but I think that's fine. I think that was a
Speaker 3: fine response. I would have responded slightly different. I probably
Speaker 3: would have brought up the math thing because that would
Speaker 3: have pissed me off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which which is, like I think, which I think
Speaker 1: is worse than I would.
Speaker 3: Have also quantified saying that it's out of budget because
Speaker 3: we have to fly from one coast to another with
Speaker 3: two kids, like.
Speaker 1: There is there is a twenty five percent premium on
Speaker 1: us because of the kid of the travel of that
Speaker 1: travel where they all have to drive like you know,
Speaker 1: an hour and a half.
Speaker 2: Okay, so why don't you do the next trip in
Speaker 2: you know, Vegas.
Speaker 1: The thing was is that when we did the last
Speaker 1: trip a couple of years ago, we had already talked
Speaker 1: about why don't we do the next trip? We were
Speaker 1: we said, my wife and I said we should do
Speaker 1: Newport Beach. Oh yeah, okay, which is a great spot.
Speaker 1: I also said we should do Lake Tahoe, which is
Speaker 1: a great spot.
Speaker 2: Yep. You know.
Speaker 1: Newport Beach is more like this situation in that we
Speaker 1: get to drive. They all have to fly, Okay, lake
Speaker 1: Tahoe has everyone's got to travel.
Speaker 2: I mean for people who quick something like Austin, like
Speaker 2: something exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, my other thing was like, why don't we go
Speaker 1: to disney World in Florida? Everyone just go? I mean,
Speaker 1: like what you know. So there's there's that, but like
Speaker 1: part of it is like they said, well, we don't
Speaker 1: want to. Part of it last year was that they
Speaker 1: didn't want to travel to Newport. Oh you don't want
Speaker 1: to travel, but I get to I have to travel.
Speaker 1: Tell me how that makes sense. And then if I
Speaker 1: say I don't want to travel, I'm the asshole. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like so this does not just add up to me, Yes,
Speaker 1: this would be very out of budget for us. Direct quote,
Speaker 1: direct quote. It's just this has been this is literally
Speaker 1: eating me alive for for weeks.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: That that exchange when I said that and my brother
Speaker 1: wrote back, be more direct next time happened on September.
Speaker 2: Fifteenth, damn two weeks. Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like a high school girl. I will hold grudges,
Speaker 1: and I believe I need an apology from him because
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Huh apology from you.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's just siding with my little brother, which
Speaker 1: she has sided with her entire life. So I totally
Speaker 1: get it. Like he's the baby boy of the family.
Speaker 1: I get it. Does no, but sometimes my parents do, okay,
Speaker 1: And there have been certainly been times in the past
Speaker 1: where I will snap get a text or call about
Speaker 1: some family pot that I said. So if they are
Speaker 1: listening to this episode, there are text or call me
Speaker 1: and whatever. I don't care. This is who I am,
Speaker 1: and I am an open button text message. That's fine,
Speaker 1: that's fine, I don't care. Listen. I will say that. Yes,
Speaker 1: my comment of fine, fuck off with a comment like
Speaker 1: that's me was probably a little bit over the line,
Speaker 1: but you know what, you pissed me off. Okay, I
Speaker 1: mean because it's just ridiculous. So whatever, that's family, pot
Speaker 1: love it, good stuff, right, I've like legitimate, I've had multiple,
Speaker 1: like multiple days of like I brought to the discord.
Speaker 1: I brought to my group chats, like I'm like talking
Speaker 1: with my wife, like the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is it? What are the thoughts?
Speaker 1: So she was fine with my first comment, she was
Speaker 1: like I should not sent the second one where I
Speaker 1: told the fuck off, But you know, I.
Speaker 2: Mean to see him. I think that's fine. That's like true
Speaker 2: brother's bickering.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm like, I'm like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: like being kind of sarcastic with them, you know, but
Speaker 1: also like I'm you know, I still think he needs
Speaker 1: to apologize for me for telling him telling me to
Speaker 1: be more direct, like I need to like tiptoe around
Speaker 1: people like no, like if this is how I am,
Speaker 1: and if you don't like that, then that's not my problem.
Speaker 1: I mean whatever, I'm forty one years old. I'm not
Speaker 1: changing for anyone, buddy, anyway. Okay, that's it. That's all
Speaker 1: we got, right. You wanted to do forty minutes. We
Speaker 1: did an hour, So I think we captured everything. It's fine,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, Monday, Poker Masters will be happening. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have what four days of coverage, yeah, four final tables,
Speaker 1: three day ones, a lot of stuff happening at the Masters,
Speaker 1: and then after it's all ended, Tim and I will
Speaker 1: of course wrap it up on another episode of the show.

Speaker 1: seemed to worth. My name is Donny Peters and we'll
