00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.759

10
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.840

00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.960

27
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Ravi Sndara aka Sonny Sondara wins it all on two

28
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty three thousand, one hundred and forty three dollars.

29
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>That was after a deal was made three handed. Original

30
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>first place prize was three hundred and seventy five K,

31
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 1>six hundred and ninety nine entries in this one. Couldn't

32
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>get that extra entry to get us a seven hundred, Hugh,

33
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't just fire thirty three hundred, Okay, you basically

34
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>cash for thirty three hundred in some event I did.

35
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, let's just put it in there.

36
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Come on, let's let's go to the guy at the top.

37
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Brent Hanks, sitting on the sideline for the entire main event,

38
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 2>off to finishing fifth loss.

39
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>YEA six, I thought six?

40
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>What about either way, brenton one entry?

41
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>If you if I have final tabled an event which

42
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>is probably never gonna happen in my lifetime because I

43
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>suck at poker. But anyway, if I did, it would

44
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>take so much for me to not play the Turnam

45
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 1>the next year exactly. I'm not even talking about winning.

46
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm just talking about making the final table. Come on,

47
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you gotta be in there. You absolutely have to be

48
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>in there, all right. Sonny Sindar won it all two

49
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty three and forty three dollars. Caleb Harwell

50
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 1>finished in second place two hundred and sixty four, five

51
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty nine dollars for him, and then the

52
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>other player as part of the three way deal, Aaron

53
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>gow two hundred and forty seven thousand, three hundred and

54
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight dollars. Now, it was. It was a very

55
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>interesting finish to the event, something that was unique. I'm

56
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>not sure I've ever seen it before, but you had

57
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>this three way deal. Then they continue playing for they

58
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>did an ICM chopping, and then they were playing for

59
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>sixty K and then Aaron Gau goes out in third place.

60
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Then Sonny and Caleb decide to do a best of

61
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>three series of plo flips. What the heck is happening

62
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 1>down there?

63
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Man? It's just what's a mockery, a mockery of the PGT,

64
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>but hey, it's it's very it's very Houston plo flips.

65
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, the gambling, the drinking, the fun, jovial final

66
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>table and atmosphere with some of these players. So look,

67
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>if anywhere's gonna happen, and I'm gonna be slightly okay

68
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 2>with it, it's down there at Champions Club in Houston, Texas.

69
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I watched, I haven't. I haven't watched the full

70
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>final table yet because I was doing commentary for Venetian

71
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>while that final table was going on. But I'm I'm

72
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 1>dying to get back to it. That said, I am

73
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>aware of some of the big hands that played out

74
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 1>not only on that final day three, but also on

75
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 1>day two. I mean, holy hell, I'm coming to Texas

76
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>next year. I mean, I don't know what the hell

77
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>people are doing with some of these can this.

78
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Is Texas playfare?

79
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Outrageous? It's I mean it's crazy, Like on one half

80
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>you have these people that are like Max gambling right,

81
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>like you had this one what was his was his name, Kim?

82
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I think it was on day two. I mean he

83
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>played every hand, every hand. I think his name was Kim.

84
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I could be wrong Ton Kim in every single freaking

85
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>hand imaginable. Even the guy who won, Sonny was all

86
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>over the place, all over the Wow. Yeah. Sonny was

87
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 1>also drinking from like nine am, like he just showed

88
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>up to champions with a beer in hand and was

89
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>just ready to go the whole time. In his winter photo,

90
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>he's drinking the Blue Moon like the whole time. I'm

91
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure by the way that I played a hand

92
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>against Sonny in the twenty twenty three WPT World Championship.

93
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Interesting in like level five when he tried to he

94
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 1>tried to run a crazy bluff against me where I

95
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>raised the button with King Jack. I remember this same

96
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I raised the button with King Jack. We were both

97
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 1>pretty deep. The big one was sixteen hundred I think

98
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I had I don't know, one hundred and twenty five

99
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>k or something like that. He three bets me from

100
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the small blind. I call it comes King high. He bets.

101
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I call turns a jacks. I make two pair. He

102
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>bets really big. I call rivers a ten. He rips

103
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 1>it all in. I took about fifteen segs and was like, well,

104
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you got the ace, queen, you got

105
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 1>ace queen whatever man. He had ace three off.

106
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>On my way to finishing third out of one hundred

107
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 2>and twenty players in the three hundred dollars. Nother man

108
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Hodem Turbo actually busted Robbie he put.

109
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 1>It also also a chop tournament.

110
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 2>A great chop. He ran a crazy bluff with aces,

111
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>and I had jacks and I hit a jack.

112
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Amazing, amazing stuff. When he when he was bluffing with

113
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 1>the best hand, it's just absolutely wild and these guys.

114
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Just yeah, he was awful, all right.

115
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>So he wins the He won two flips right away, right,

116
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>He won the first two flips and that was it.

117
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>It was over with. So Sonny wins it all, two

118
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred eighty three thousand dollars his he's a he's a

<v Speaker 1>Houston local. This is his local Room Downer Champions Club.

120
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>So we got a local winning it all. Just rounding

131
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 1>gro Cup earlier in the twenty twenty five PGT season.

132
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>He finished in twelfth place. Matthew Wantman finished in thirteenth place.

133
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Both of them took home thirty three thousand dollars. You

134
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 1>had Daniel Cpo in fifteenth for twenty seven thousand dollars.

135
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Then a little bit further down you had Philip Hellmuth

136
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.399
<v Speaker 1>the third, not the regular Philip Healmuth, his son Philip

137
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Helmuth the third, sixty first place for seven K. Jeff

138
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Platt shout out to our guy, sixty fourth for six K,

139
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Becker sixty sixth for six K, David Chen seventy

140
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 1>first for six K, Ray Kartomi seventy second for fifty

141
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>five hundred. I'll hit on those two a little bit more.

142
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>On a second to Jonathan while the reigning be made

143
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>have been champion eighty fifth for and fifty yards.

144
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 2>What's this?

145
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>What's this little note? You put in here, stack guy.

146
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Eighteen people have cashed in both Texas pokerpins. I thought

147
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 2>that was a pretty much bigger number than I thought.

148
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>But has anyone cast in both of them and the

149
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>poo around it.

150
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>There there's potential for Isaac Kempton and Matthew Wantman. I

151
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>think I'm gonna check it right now. But even still

152
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>eighteen players, I think is is quite a lot. Even

153
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>with the you know, the whole multi fly aspect of

154
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the tournament, it's still pretty impressive.

155
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I think this year it was the Texas Poke Open

156
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 1>main event, ran it back with the same two million

157
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>dollar guarantee that was in the first edition last year.

158
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Isa and Matthew Wantman have cashed in three champions Club

159
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 2>tournaments that we have run.

160
00:08:53.519 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh and bab bo geez okay fuvo. He played outrageous.

161
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I don't know what that guy was doing

162
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the best?

163
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>How could I not take a chuck against him?

164
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>He's he was the one who did He was the

165
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.519
<v Speaker 1>one who slow rolled Sundara on late on day two.

166
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>He was yeah, he he had a full house and

167
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Sonny this was it, by the way, This was like

168
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>late on day two. Sonny had like seven and a

169
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>half million chips and like a half an hour later

170
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 1>when they finished up and bagged, he had like two

171
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and a half minute just out of control. But at

172
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 1>one point he made a flush against Vos. I think

173
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>he flopped or turned a full house. And on the

174
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 1>end Sonny called that from Voe and like, turn over

175
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 1>an ace. I think there was two aces on board

176
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 1>and I think a ten and he had ace ten.

177
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>He just turned over an ace and Sonny said, I

178
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>beat that and turned over his flush and then he

179
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>slipped over the ten for the full house, and Sunny

180
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>like was pissed and got into it. So that was

181
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing at the table tuber slowl do chob slow,

182
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 1>it was the whole thing. It was all on stream.

183
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty pretty incredible, all right, two million dollars

184
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>guarantee in this one beat it not by much, though,

185
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 1>I can't say this is a fake guarantee. Two million,

186
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven thousand dollars in the prize pool. You were there,

187
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 1>you're the PGT commissioner. You're obviously in touch with everyone

188
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>that we worked with at Champions Club Texas. What was

189
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the sweat of the guarantee? Like and were you actually sweating, sir.

190
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we were sweating quite a lot. It was Look,

191
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>we knew it was going to be. I think we've

192
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>discussed this before. When you have a new series, you

193
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>come back for the second year, it always tends to

194
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit.

195
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Of a second year is always the hardest year.

196
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we knew that. So that was we're going

197
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 2>against that. And then as we spoke to how play is,

198
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, we talked about in the last part, not

199
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these guys were coming and that was

200
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>a little scary. But to Champions credit, they did. They

201
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 2>got us over the line. And what I mean by

202
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that is we had a huge increase in unique players,

203
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.679
<v Speaker 2>mainly locals. We had three x more satellite winners than

204
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 2>last year, so that on its own made up for

205
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the the PGT REGs that would have been there blasting

206
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 2>like last year, Sean Dee Brand, Lynn Josh Aria, Jesse,

207
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Lonas Chinaim, all these guys that put in lots of

208
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 2>bullets that weren't there. Champions made up for it with

209
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>a huge satellite program, lots of locals. I think locals

210
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 2>just wanting to be a part of this. This year,

211
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>we went from two hundred and thirty six unique entrance

212
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>to two hundred and seventy five, which is a massive

213
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.960
<v Speaker 2>increase with the field also being thirty six players short

214
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.759
<v Speaker 2>this year. So look, we were sweating it the entire way,

215
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.080
<v Speaker 2>and you know, we were trending pretty good at the start.

216
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Once we hit those bigger flights on the Saturday and

217
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>then the Saturday night turbo, we were a bit behind pace.

218
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, we broke through probably midway through registration on

219
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 2>the final turbo flight, and it was a good, good

220
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 2>sigh of relief for you know, the entire team down there,

221
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 2>just getting through the guarantee and then obviously pushing through

222
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>for another you know, ninety seven. K.

223
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean I don't know why a lot of

224
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the PGT regulars didn't go. I mean I would have

225
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>assumed that many of them that traveled down to Texas

226
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>for the first time likely last year for this and

227
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 1>saw the state of play. I mean, I mean, listen,

228
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't I have to just talk about it. I mean,

229
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 1>it's it's the play is outrageous. I mean it's absolutely outrageous.

230
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I spent a lot of time talking with.

231
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we need to just cut like a highlight

232
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>clip of these hands that were played out on stream

233
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 1>and just like send them to people. Yeah, just be like,

234
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>this is why you need to go to Texas.

235
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.240
<v Speaker 2>In the third high Roller, Jeremy Becker says to me,

236
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.360
<v Speaker 2>this is the softest event I've ever played. Five K

237
00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>hi roller with thirty nine entrants.

238
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Was that the one where he called with seven four

239
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>off yes.

240
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Which was a very weird hand? I wrote, I got

241
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.440
<v Speaker 2>that hand, and I had to make sure I wrote

242
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>those cards down right.

243
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, we were wondering if the like, We're like, are

244
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>his chips wrong?

245
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Like did he like I know?

246
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I was like, no, like these guys are good, like

247
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't like, I don't I trusts.

248
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>The blinds were going up next hand, he would have

249
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.480
<v Speaker 2>been in the small blind, so that has something to

250
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>do with it. I just feel like seven to four,

251
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's not the one to get in with.

252
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>But hey, look, Jeremy is a field player. He's not

253
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.519
<v Speaker 2>a gto guy. You know, let him do what he

254
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 2>wants to do. But speaking with him, we talked about

255
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>this and he know, he says, the poker is great here.

256
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 2>But the biggest problem we have and why some of

257
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.200
<v Speaker 2>these guys in the com was if you bust like,

258
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>there's not much else to do. You know, Champions is

259
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 2>a hotel with the pokeroom. Now says if you don't

260
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>want to play poker, sorry, there's not much you can do.

261
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>And Jeremy's like, just give me a ping punk table,

262
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 2>give me something.

263
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 1>I was you know what I was thinking when when,

264
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 1>because you and I were talking a little bit obviously

265
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 1>about this stuff. I was like, they need to put

266
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 1>a bowling alley there. All these guys in their bowling. Now,

267
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>put like a three or four lane bowling alley right there.

268
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 1>You put like you said, you put a ping pong

269
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 1>table room.

270
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Come up with the table room.

271
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Boom.

272
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 2>I've got the idea. It's the winner. Are you ready

273
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.759
<v Speaker 2>for this. We're gonna we're gonna convert one of the

274
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 2>one of the sweets right Presidential Suite to feel Home

275
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>with Sweet as they like to call it, into the

276
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 2>PGT Lounge. Okay, I'm gonna moove the tables around. We're

277
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna put a ping pong table there, gonna get some

278
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>arcade games, snacks, deck of cards that can play Chinese poker.

279
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Because Jeremy's like, we just want to DJ and we

280
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>want to gamble. We want to bet on ping pong,

281
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.600
<v Speaker 2>we want to bet on arcade games. I told him

282
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 2>this idea. He goes because he was like, I don't

283
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>think you're getting me back here, you know, and he

284
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.200
<v Speaker 2>was having an okay series. He cashed the high Roller,

285
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 2>he cashed the main event. Now twice. He's like, I

286
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:51.720
<v Speaker 2>don't think he getting me back here. There's not enough

287
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.840
<v Speaker 2>for me to do. And then I told him this idea.

288
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 2>He's like, all right, you got me back. So giving

289
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.039
<v Speaker 2>these guys, the PGT players, an outlet when they I

290
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.159
<v Speaker 2>don't want to play poker, you know, they can go upstairs.

291
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll set up this lounge. We'll stock it with drinks

292
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.799
<v Speaker 2>and snacks and all kinds of things that they can

293
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 2>degen and gamble and keep them on property, keep them,

294
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, firing the high roller is firing the main event.

295
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 2>I think that's one way to really get them there.

296
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 2>The other part is, you know, it's going to be

297
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>their fault because we had players messaging us the day

298
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.960
<v Speaker 2>before the main event saying, hey, could you help us

299
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 2>get a rum I heard they're sold out. I mean,

300
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>when you're going to leave it to the last day,

301
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that's a bit of an issue for as a poker player.

302
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, we know they're not that organized, but when

303
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you know this is a boutique property, you have to

304
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.879
<v Speaker 2>try and get your your accommodations settled earlier and kind

305
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker 2>of get in there, get the booking, come down play.

306
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

307
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think another thing that we can probably

308
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 1>do on our side a little bit better ahead of time.

309
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you mentioned going from twenty five to seventy

310
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>five satellite winners. We got to push that ahead of

311
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>time more. Yeah, however we do it. You know, you know,

312
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>ideally you can kind of put like a photo of

313
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>all the satellite winners out there, stuff like that, you know,

314
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.799
<v Speaker 1>because that will attract a lot of the the bigger

315
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.919
<v Speaker 1>players or whatnot. So but I listen, I think that

316
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the state of play sells it. And if you're chasing value,

317
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's great to head down to Texas and

318
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.399
<v Speaker 1>to Champions Club and to this event. It's you know,

319
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>there's not that many big events like this iron wise

320
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>in that region. I also think, listen it. The time

321
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 1>slot is really good because right after it's done, a

322
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of the guys can just you know, check up

323
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.279
<v Speaker 1>a little bit to Choktaw in Oklahoma and play that

324
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.559
<v Speaker 1>World Poker Tour event, so like it times up nicely.

325
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not just kind of like you're going there for

326
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.799
<v Speaker 1>like one thing. Yeah, you go down to Houston, you

327
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>play this event at Champions Boom, you're up to Choctaw,

328
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you're playing that WPT there. Then you come back a

329
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>few weeks off. It's World Series of Poker time. That's

330
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:53.919
<v Speaker 1>how you do it.

331
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 2>I think on allen to, we should try and give

332
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 2>a little more breathing room between the USPR and Champion Club.

333
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Give these guys a you know, a week or two

334
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>just to reset, relaxed, spend time family, then come over

335
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 2>to Houston. The fact that we were going from USPO

336
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.920
<v Speaker 2>literally less than a week later the main event was starting,

337
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that was too tired of a window. So

338
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 2>if we can just move USPO back a week or

339
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 2>two weeks even, I think that will come go a

340
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>long way in you know, like we always talk about

341
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 2>player burnout and bankroll rebuilding or resetting mental resetting, that

342
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 2>will go a long way and helping that.

343
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 1>The guarantee was a sweat. We talked about it, but

344
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it was met at the end of the day. It

345
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.039
<v Speaker 1>seemed like overall there was a lot of really really

346
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>good energy out of Champions Club. Once again, how proud

347
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:41.319
<v Speaker 1>are you, guys? How proud are you? You know how

348
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 1>the main event turned out? Overall? Are you happy with everything?

349
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think I think both us and Champions are

350
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty happy. Like I said, I kind of mentioned the

351
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.920
<v Speaker 2>huge increasing in uniques, the huge increase in locals, the

352
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.640
<v Speaker 2>satellite winners. That's all says a lot about how much

353
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 2>effort Champions is putting into this. Also how much the

354
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>local poker pool really supports Champions, really supports what we're

355
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.759
<v Speaker 2>doing there. So from that aspect, it couldn't be more

356
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.640
<v Speaker 2>happier than you know, how it turned out once we

357
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 2>hit that guarantee.

358
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, in addition to the thirty three hundred dollars by

359
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 1>main event that was won by again Sonny Sundhara two

360
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty three thousand dollars, there were four fifty

361
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred dollars high roller events, all of them qualifying

362
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 1>for the PGT. You had Ray Kartomi winning two of

363
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the four, you had David Chen winning one of the four,

364
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and then the other one was won by Elliott Smith.

365
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I told you that I would mention Chen and Kartomi

366
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.480
<v Speaker 1>later on. Here is that time. Both Kartomi and Chen

367
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>cashed four times during the series. They both cashed in

368
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 1>the main event as I already mentioned, then both of

369
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.039
<v Speaker 1>them cashed in three of the four high rollers, with

370
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Ray Kartomi winning two of the four. Kartoli won the

371
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.880
<v Speaker 1>first one for five hundred all, David Chen won the

372
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 1>second one for fifty four thousand dollars, Elliott Smith won

373
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the third one fifty eight, six hundred and eighty dollars,

374
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>and then Kartomi again winning the last one forty one thousand,

375
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.279
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred dollars for him. Kartomi cashed total from the

376
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.039
<v Speaker 1>series just under one hundred and seven thousand dollars. Chen

377
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.039
<v Speaker 1>cash total for the series eighty five thousand, seven hundred

378
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and fifty dollars. Now little bit of a different look

379
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to the schedule with these high rollers. This year's Texas

380
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Poke gre Open schedule had fewer high rollers. They were

381
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 1>also all at the five K buy and level, whereas

382
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.319
<v Speaker 1>last year you had eight of them, so cut them

383
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.079
<v Speaker 1>in half. Also last year there was a couple ten k's.

384
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>There was also a couple that were pot limit Omaha

385
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to just the Nolan HoldEm So last year

386
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.440
<v Speaker 1>they did a little bit of Nolan hould them a

387
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit of PLO. How do you feel the adjustments

388
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 1>worked out with with you know, the high roller stuff.

389
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>The main difference with last year in this year was

390
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>that last year the high roll was extended on the

391
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.839
<v Speaker 2>main event, and we saw kind of a bit of

392
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.440
<v Speaker 2>a decrease in numbers once the main event was done,

393
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.480
<v Speaker 2>So we wanted to basically overlap them during the main

394
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 2>so that our players that were coming could come and

395
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 2>book you know, four or five days and get full

396
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 2>value and not have to stick around for no other reason.

397
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:21.599
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of why we shifted from seven well

398
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it was seven that we added an extra one last year,

399
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 2>but from eight down to these four, just to fit

400
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the schedule a little better, be a bit cleaner. Also,

401
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 2>with the ten k's they didn't perform as well, so

402
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.079
<v Speaker 2>we kind of kept with the five K prize point,

403
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:40.519
<v Speaker 2>which just hits the locals a bit more like it's

404
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.359
<v Speaker 2>a bit more reachable for those guys, So that was

405
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of the change. I think it worked okay. Some

406
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.119
<v Speaker 2>of the guys really like the twenty minute level blinds,

407
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.279
<v Speaker 2>the entire way like super Turbos basically. So yeah, at

408
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:54.920
<v Speaker 2>this stage, I think we wouldn't really make any changes

409
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.160
<v Speaker 2>to that. You could maybe at a plow, but you know,

410
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:01.279
<v Speaker 2>we're doing that PLO series hopefully in November, so they

411
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:02.720
<v Speaker 2>have enough PLO at that point.

412
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 1>So is it coming back next year? And if it is,

413
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what's the schedule going to look like? Is this is

414
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:11.279
<v Speaker 1>this like the best schedule or do you still have

415
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>like fine tune adjustments that you want to make. What

416
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 1>are you thinking?

417
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I like this schedule a lot. I hope it comes back.

418
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a good event. I like the event.

419
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I think the local players like the event, So I

420
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.880
<v Speaker 2>don't see there's a reason why we would just stop schedule.

421
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:30.799
<v Speaker 2>I think it is fine. I think the side events

422
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.680
<v Speaker 2>schedule could you know, use a bit of a twigging.

423
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 2>For example, they had the Ladies' event on day two

424
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.119
<v Speaker 2>of the main you know, it makes a little tough

425
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:39.759
<v Speaker 2>if you know, for some of the ladies, they make

426
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:43.119
<v Speaker 2>day two obviously to play that event, so we could

427
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 2>obviously flex off that. But yeah, the side events is

428
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 2>mainly Champions Club's decision, and I kind of work with

429
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.960
<v Speaker 2>them about figuring out what may work, what may not work.

430
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I like the schedule. I thought there was

431
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.559
<v Speaker 2>a good variety of events. Huge you know, keep the

432
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 2>satellites going, keep everyone on property firing away. Yeah.

433
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I My one suggestion would be, I think you need

434
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 1>like a one K like opener, like the weekend before

435
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the main event.

436
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.559
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know if you're getting anyone out of

437
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.279
<v Speaker 2>town coming in for that. That's the only thing.

438
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe I don't know. I have to think

439
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>about it more, but that's I think that would be

440
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:28.039
<v Speaker 1>a good position. But overall, you know, I thought it

441
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:30.720
<v Speaker 1>was a good event. I had fun watching the large

442
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:32.759
<v Speaker 1>majority of it, and I still have to kind of

443
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.079
<v Speaker 1>finish out the final table stuff because I had other obligations.

444
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, you know, I'm happy it reached

445
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 1>the guarantee happy the I like when guarantees are a

446
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.319
<v Speaker 1>sweat because I believe that they're then a little bit

447
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:50.599
<v Speaker 1>more real, you know, as I always joke about fake guarantees,

448
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.559
<v Speaker 1>but this one definitely made you guys sweat quite a bit.

449
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 4>So.

450
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 1>But I do think also if you were to run

451
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it back the same for next year, probably a little

452
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:03.880
<v Speaker 1>bit more in the prize pool would be my guess

453
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 1>as things sit right now, coupled with the fact that,

454
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot of people in the US probably

455
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 1>don't have a lot of disposable income. So just with

456
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the way everything is, you know, you got to pay

457
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 1>for them eggs. But a year's time away, you know,

458
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's all changed and become a little bit better

459
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.079
<v Speaker 1>and things are. You know, there's a little bit more

460
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>people that want to you know, travel down the travel

461
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:29.799
<v Speaker 1>part as well, Like it's I mean, it's just hard,

462
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.799
<v Speaker 1>like you know, it takes a lot to go down there,

463
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.599
<v Speaker 1>just anywhere really not it's not only just traveling to Texas.

464
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:38.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's you know, you really do have to

465
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 1>rely on the local regional crowd, of course, and I

466
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:44.480
<v Speaker 1>think this event did so. I think that's a really

467
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.440
<v Speaker 1>good sign. And then yeah, hopefully we get the regulars

468
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to head back down to a good old Texas. Let's

469
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>swing up. But I think it's like what sixteen hundred

470
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:02.519
<v Speaker 1>miles northeast to Pennsylvania in the Keystone State got the

471
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>We got Pennsylvania joining the Multi State Internet Gaming Agreement.

472
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro recently signed the MMSIGA to bring

473
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania into the shared online poker market, which is great, great,

474
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>great news. That agreement. The MSIGA or MESSIGA includes obviously Pennsylvania,

475
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:32.359
<v Speaker 1>now New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, West Virginia, and Michigan. Now

476
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>put a little asterisk next to West Virginia because although

477
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>online poker is legalized in the state, no one has

478
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:44.200
<v Speaker 1>launched yet. That's the same for other states Connecticut, Delaware,

479
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and Rhode Island, although those three aren't signed into the

480
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:54.880
<v Speaker 1>MSIGA as of this time. Pennsylvania originally now are announced

481
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>originally legalized online poker in twenty seventeen. It became the

482
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 1>fourth state to do so, and then they launched. The

483
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.799
<v Speaker 1>first operator to launch was Poker Stars in twenty nineteen.

484
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>So I guess that timeline there is something that like

485
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I look at because it took, you know, two years

486
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to go from when you legalize it to when you

487
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:21.640
<v Speaker 1>got the first operator launching, and then here you got

488
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the governor, Governor Shapiro signing this agreement and then it

489
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>was like three days boom on Monday, which was yesterday,

490
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 1>April twenty eighth, that a couple of the operators are

491
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. They're in multiple states were often running,

492
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>so the fact that it turned around so quick, I

493
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 1>think is like probably the biggest thing to me at least,

494
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 1>which hopefully is a sign of more things to come. Now,

495
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 1>we also had a great opportunity here at Poker Go,

496
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Governor's team, Governor Josh Shapiro, his team

497
00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>reached out to us. We were able to link up

498
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>on a special interview and it was really cool. Again,

499
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.400
<v Speaker 1>big big news for online poker in the US with

500
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:08.559
<v Speaker 1>this happening. You know, I know it's like a lot

501
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 1>of places might be like, yeah, well you have fifty states,

502
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's not that many on board. But I mean,

503
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:15.039
<v Speaker 1>trust me, this is this is a big move in

504
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 1>the right direction. So you know, Pennsylvania getting involved, it

505
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.839
<v Speaker 1>creates much bigger prize pools. You know, the games are

506
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be better. Those players are all now part

507
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of a much bigger player pool. You already have some

508
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>of the operators you know, doing stuff in terms of

509
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.799
<v Speaker 1>bigger prize pools, the stuff in the summer as it

510
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 1>relates to the World Series of Poker. Because they are involved,

511
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:38.319
<v Speaker 1>they are in the different states, you know, there's gonna

512
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.519
<v Speaker 1>be a ton more action. I know we're gonna hit

513
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>on the online bracelet schedule. But you know, the online

514
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 1>bracelet schedule, of course, does give credence to the fact

515
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that Pennsylvania is now roped in with the other states.

516
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>So and myself as a player in Nevada, I mean,

517
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.559
<v Speaker 1>it's it's hugely beneficial to me being able to have

518
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.519
<v Speaker 1>more games, to play, bigger and better tournaments, all that

519
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:04.799
<v Speaker 1>sort of stuff. So I thought that that was really cool.

520
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.440
<v Speaker 1>But President Governor Josh Shapiro, he actually got to chat

521
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:12.880
<v Speaker 1>with our president poker Go President Maury Eskandnnie and that

522
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>was an exclusive interview that these guys linked up on.

523
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.279
<v Speaker 1>So it was a video interview that the two hopped

524
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:21.119
<v Speaker 1>on a zoom call and chatted. You can find that

525
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.960
<v Speaker 1>on the poker Go YouTube channel. But we'll play the

526
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.599
<v Speaker 1>audio for you guys here right now, so if you

527
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:27.960
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard it here that is, let's get to it.

528
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:30.599
<v Speaker 4>Governor, what an honor? How are you?

529
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm so good? How are you?

530
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing just fine, doing a lot better now that

531
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 4>I know an official like you is advocating for poker.

532
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:42.680
<v Speaker 4>This is this is truly amazing.

533
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:46.480
<v Speaker 3>It's a dream come through, sir. Absolutely, no, I it's

534
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:49.359
<v Speaker 3>a big deal. I'm excited about it, happy to talk

535
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker 3>to you today.

536
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, pleasure is all mine, and I mean the fact

537
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:58.160
<v Speaker 4>that you are the highest ranking official that I know

538
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 4>all my years in poker that supporting us. It's so grateful.

539
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 4>And what made this the right time for Pennsylvania to

540
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 4>join the multi state and the gaming.

541
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, first off, more it's really cool for me

542
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:17.960
<v Speaker 3>to be with you. I love your background. By the way,

543
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.400
<v Speaker 3>it looks great. I'll just say what made me want

544
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.319
<v Speaker 3>to do it is. I think it's common sense. There's

545
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:27.079
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of folks like you out there, including one

546
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty thousand people right here in my state,

547
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:34.480
<v Speaker 3>in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, who love to play poker online,

548
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 3>and I think they should be able to play poker online,

549
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 3>not just with people from Pennsylvania, but they should be

550
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 3>able to reach out and deal with people from other states,

551
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:45.799
<v Speaker 3>not have to wait as long for a game, and

552
00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:49.759
<v Speaker 3>have games that are more vibrant, more competitive, and where

553
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 3>they you know, they get to compete against more people

554
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:54.799
<v Speaker 3>kind of at their level. So I just think it's

555
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 3>common sense, it's smart, and I know you probably don't

556
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.680
<v Speaker 3>care about this, but it's good for the Commonwealth taxpayers

557
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.039
<v Speaker 3>as well, So I think it's a win win all around.

558
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, I care more than you can possitively imagine. I've

559
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:10.880
<v Speaker 4>often wonder a game that's been around for some thousand

560
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:14.319
<v Speaker 4>a year and came to United States in the eighteen hundred,

561
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.759
<v Speaker 4>just like everything else that comes here was raised to

562
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:20.039
<v Speaker 4>new heights, so many different variety of games that were

563
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:25.000
<v Speaker 4>added here, all the creativity, everything being played in seventy countries.

564
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:31.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's not legal in birthplace of Texas, legal in

565
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 5>eight states or so, but it's not just you know, like,

566
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 5>what is it going to take wherever we want to

567
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:37.400
<v Speaker 5>take your lead?

568
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Look, I'm a big believer in giving people the freedom

569
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:44.240
<v Speaker 3>to do the kinds of things they want to do,

570
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:46.839
<v Speaker 3>obviously within the bounds of the law and obviously within

571
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:50.160
<v Speaker 3>the bounds of responsibility. But the way I look at

572
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 3>this is, you know, folks are playing poker all the time,

573
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:56.039
<v Speaker 3>and whether you're doing it at a table or whether

574
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:58.160
<v Speaker 3>you're doing it at a casino, you're doing it with

575
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 3>some buddies, or you're doing it online. I just think

576
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:02.920
<v Speaker 3>you should have the freedom to do that. And by

577
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 3>the way, if you don't want to play poker, if

578
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 3>you don't want to gamble, You don't have to do

579
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 3>that either. It's totally fine. No one's forcing you. So

580
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 3>I am hopeful that as Pennsylvania, we're now the biggest

581
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:15.759
<v Speaker 3>state as part of this compact, Pennsylvania does it, maybe

582
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.000
<v Speaker 3>more states will join in, more Americans will get the

583
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to participate with one another in this great game that,

584
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.119
<v Speaker 3>as you said, has been around thousands of years. I

585
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 3>think it's a great opportunity.

586
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Do you really feel like you're getting closer to having

587
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:37.200
<v Speaker 4>this be connected nationally, like having a market that's like

588
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:40.680
<v Speaker 4>in like sports betting in forty.

589
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:44.440
<v Speaker 3>I hope so, I hope so. And again not because

590
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to encourage people to go out and gamble

591
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:48.720
<v Speaker 3>or play poker or do something else.

592
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:49.359
<v Speaker 2>It's up to you.

593
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:51.519
<v Speaker 3>But if you want to do that, I think it's

594
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:53.599
<v Speaker 3>important to make it easy, right, have it on your

595
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.640
<v Speaker 3>phone or have it in your home, you know, however

596
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:58.839
<v Speaker 3>you want to do it, or show up at a casinover,

597
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.960
<v Speaker 3>show up and in some other way to do it.

598
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:03.119
<v Speaker 3>I think it's common sense.

599
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:03.400
<v Speaker 4>You know what.

600
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.839
<v Speaker 3>What I've learned over my years in this business is

601
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 3>a lot of times folks are just knee jerk reacting

602
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.359
<v Speaker 3>against something, right, there's against it. And if you actually

603
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.440
<v Speaker 3>get a minute to have a conversation and say, hey,

604
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, Pennsylvania's doing it, Michigan's doing it, Jersey, other

605
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.920
<v Speaker 3>states are doing it. Maybe explain to me why you

606
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:26.240
<v Speaker 3>think it's a bad idea. Why aren't you doing it?

607
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:28.519
<v Speaker 3>And so when you get rid of that sort of

608
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:33.079
<v Speaker 3>immediate political no and you're able to bolster your argument

609
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 3>by saying a lot of other states are doing it,

610
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 3>and ask people what they're real deep objection to to

611
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.480
<v Speaker 3>it is. You know what most time they say is well,

612
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:43.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I guess it's kind of always been

613
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:47.000
<v Speaker 3>that way. And for me, I hate when people say, well,

614
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:49.200
<v Speaker 3>that's the way it's always been and that's the way

615
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be. That frustrates me to no end.

616
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.440
<v Speaker 4>I've had people come to me know poka gambling as

617
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 4>a matter of fact, just you know, I've been in

618
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 4>the industry forever. Poker players don't like to be called gamblers.

619
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 4>They like to be called poker players because he gambled,

620
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.640
<v Speaker 4>He gambled anything gamble at golf. It's not a game,

621
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, like God knows. I mean, when you live

622
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 4>in Las Vegas. You gamble with everything but his choice.

623
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 4>You know you're having fun, you know you're doing something

624
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:18.359
<v Speaker 4>that he can afford. And poker, there's just so much

625
00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:20.839
<v Speaker 4>to the game. So, h let me ask you a

626
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:24.440
<v Speaker 4>fun question. It sounds to me that you've been into

627
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:26.839
<v Speaker 4>this a little bit. Which state do you think from

628
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 4>the eight states that have now online gaming, which one

629
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.759
<v Speaker 4>do you think has the best poker players?

630
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh, come on, man, you know what the answer is. Pennsylvania.

631
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Of course. Look, I am competitive as hell, right, So

632
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I want to beat everybody at everything and whatever sport,

633
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:48.119
<v Speaker 3>whatever game, whatever you're doing. And I think Pennsylvanians have

634
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:50.279
<v Speaker 3>that attitude. We want to be the best. With the

635
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.599
<v Speaker 3>birthplace in democracy, we're where it all started, and so

636
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 3>of course we want to win it everything from our

637
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.440
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl winning Eagles to you know, every other team.

638
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.400
<v Speaker 3>We just want to be the best. And I know

639
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Pennsylvania poker players want to be the best, and I

640
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.440
<v Speaker 3>think we are.

641
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.119
<v Speaker 4>Well. One of these days, I'm hoping maybe perhaps some

642
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.119
<v Speaker 4>sort of a tournament in our studio in poker got

643
00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:15.119
<v Speaker 4>studio in Las Vegas and have different players from the

644
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.640
<v Speaker 4>states come in, maybe the governors, maybe maybe a game

645
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:17.960
<v Speaker 4>at all.

646
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:19.000
<v Speaker 3>These That would be cool.

647
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.079
<v Speaker 4>We should do that, all right, I got I will

648
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 4>send an invitation to everybody. I would love to do

649
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.000
<v Speaker 4>that and see which governor is the best player.

650
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:30.079
<v Speaker 3>That would be a lot of fun. We'll probably all

651
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.400
<v Speaker 3>talk a lot of shit on one another, even though

652
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.400
<v Speaker 3>we all really like each other, but we'll have a

653
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 3>lot of fun. Exactly exactly. That'd be great.

654
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, this is truly an honor, and I meant it.

655
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:48.200
<v Speaker 4>It is dream come true. We are in this industry. Nothing,

656
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 4>nothing will will be lifting this industry more than in

657
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.079
<v Speaker 4>national poker across the team.

658
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:58.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm excited to help one hundred and fifty thousand

659
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:02.319
<v Speaker 3>Pennsylvanians and hopefully I'm world grow, compete with others from

660
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:05.160
<v Speaker 3>across the country and see this industry grow. Mare. I

661
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:07.319
<v Speaker 3>want you to know you're here in the Governor's reception

662
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.840
<v Speaker 3>room here in our state capitol in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Through

663
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.079
<v Speaker 3>that door over there is my office, and I just

664
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:17.639

<v Speaker 4>Absolutely wonderful news, wonderful, Thank you so much.

669
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Great, thank you, Mary. Look forward to seeing you and

670
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:34.679
<v Speaker 3>we got to have that game with the other GUVs.

671
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:36.159
<v Speaker 4>It'll happen, thank you.

672
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:39.039
<v Speaker 2>All right.

673
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 1>So that was really cool. Listen. I don't know, I

674
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:46.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't know anything about Joshapiro, Okay, the fact that he

675
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:50.599
<v Speaker 1>was talking so casually, the fact that he swore in

676
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the interview, I'm a gready to vote for this guy

677
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 1>for anything. I mean, I'm ready to go. I'm like, okay,

678
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.679
<v Speaker 1>let's go. Can we play some poker? Like, you know,

679
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.800
<v Speaker 1>like it's definitely he seems a guy that I would

680
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:03.599
<v Speaker 1>get behind. And again, you know, just very cool overall that,

681
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, he pushed this through. I remember hearing I

682
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.760
<v Speaker 1>can't remember when it exactly was, whether it was several

683
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.760
<v Speaker 1>months ago or you know, a year or two ago,

684
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:15.960
<v Speaker 1>when he urged the Gaming Commission there in Pennsylvania to

685
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 1>start approaching getting involved with the multi state agreement and

686
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:23.920
<v Speaker 1>then boom, he signs it. A couple of days later,

687
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Monday happens. You know, these these operators are in. I mean,

688
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:33.079
<v Speaker 1>that's just incredible. So the I mentioned all the states, Pennsylvania,

689
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:36.840
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, West Virginia, and Michigan. So of

690
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the ones that are like linked right now with operators,

691
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania is the largest. Thirteen point one million is the

692
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:46.519
<v Speaker 1>estimated population, fifth largest state in the US. So that's

693
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:50.159
<v Speaker 1>a big one. Yeah, that's a very big one. Michigan

694
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.960
<v Speaker 1>tenth ten point two million, New Jersey, you know, not

695
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 1>too far off, nine point six million, that's the tenth

696
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and eleventh largest states. And then Nevada. You know, again,

697
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.719
<v Speaker 1>this is why it lately benefits people like Tim and

698
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.519
<v Speaker 1>I who play on dissip dot com because Nevada is

699
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:08.360
<v Speaker 1>only three point three million and we're the thirty first

700
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:13.719
<v Speaker 1>largest state by population. So US getting a state like

701
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania that is what more than four x hour population

702
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:21.079
<v Speaker 1>into this, like boom, let's go, Like I'm ready, Like

703
00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready for the games. I'm ready for the tournaments,

704
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:26.039
<v Speaker 1>like I can't wait a little bit of a rundown

705
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 1>on the timeline here on yesterday. We're recording this on Tuesday,

706
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:32.159
<v Speaker 1>April twenty ninth. But on Monday, April twenty eighth, you

707
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 1>had bet MGMPA and Borgata PA. They connected their player

708
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:41.840
<v Speaker 1>pools in Pennsylvania with New Jersey and Michigan. Now those

709
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>operators are not currently in Nevada, but we've heard that,

710
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, BETMGM could be coming to Nevada pretty soon,

711
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, hopefully soon, but we'll see, you know, I

712
00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:58.519
<v Speaker 1>if I were to guess, I would guess by the

713
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:02.599
<v Speaker 1>end of the year. Obviously MGM has a footprint here

714
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:05.039
<v Speaker 1>in the state of Nevada, you know, but that's still

715
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, TBD and those operators celebrated with they have

716
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:12.440
<v Speaker 1>this one hundred and nine dollars buying c note tournament.

717
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:14.800
<v Speaker 1>They made that a free roll and they're calling it

718
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the Free Note. They also announced what they're calling the

719
00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:21.920
<v Speaker 1>May Millions May eighth through eleventh, with eighteen events. I

720
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.800
<v Speaker 1>think that spans a weekend, eighteen events, million dollar guaranteed

721
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:30.079
<v Speaker 1>across the entire series, one thousand dollars buying championship event

722
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.679
<v Speaker 1>that has a four hundred thousand dollars guaranteed. So already,

723
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:36.360
<v Speaker 1>like you have these operators coming out with some big stuff.

724
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.960
<v Speaker 1>You have WSP in Pennsylvania. They connected with Nevada, New

725
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Jersey and Michigan and they were the first operator with

726
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:49.199
<v Speaker 1>a four state network. Again, Bet MGM, Burgada they're in

727
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:53.599
<v Speaker 1>three states, but WSP is in four states, which is

728
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:57.719
<v Speaker 1>very cool, very very cool. Now poker Stars, everyone knows

729
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Poker Stars. They have not yet can their Pennsylvania platform

730
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:08.280
<v Speaker 1>with New Jersey and Michigan, so that's still TBD, and we'll,

731
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:10.679
<v Speaker 1>I guess, we'll see what happens. I did see something

732
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:12.800
<v Speaker 1>from I want to say it was a new g

733
00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:16.440
<v Speaker 1>aurora from Pokerfeus on social media earlier today that said,

734
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:19.079
<v Speaker 1>I think you put a screenshot of the lobby of

735
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Poker Stars and it didn't have any tournaments scheduled like

736
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:26.320
<v Speaker 1>past April thirtieth, So like, I don't know if that's

737
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.880
<v Speaker 1>like like what's coming type of thing, or like maybe

738
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:33.119
<v Speaker 1>they just haven't scheduled that, who knows, you know, but

739
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I would expect at some point they probably get involved,

740
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.239
<v Speaker 1>right will be like BETAMGM where they won't be in Nevada,

741
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:44.400
<v Speaker 1>but I think they'll they'll, you know, they'll they'll get

742
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 1>into the other ones and that'll obviously create that and

743
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:49.679
<v Speaker 1>then just quickly on the other operators or on the

744
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:51.440
<v Speaker 1>operators as a whole. Just as a little bit of

745
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:55.119
<v Speaker 1>a summary here, wsp PA is combined with Nevada New

746
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:58.239
<v Speaker 1>Jersey and Michigan, so they're in four states. BETAMGM Pennsylvania

747
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is combined with New Jersey and Michigan. Poker Stars Pennsylvania

748
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 1>is still separate. New Jersey and Michigan are combined, but

749
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll see how that goes. And then the other one

750
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.480
<v Speaker 1>is Bette Rivers, which is you know, speaking of the

751
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Texas Poke Ropean and Phil Hellmuth and you know, he's

752
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.599
<v Speaker 1>he was on stream saying I'm a co owner of

753
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:18.639
<v Speaker 1>the Champions Club and this and that and the other thing.

754
00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Whatever.

755
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, his new sponsor, Bette Rivers. They are in only Pennsylvania,

756
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:26.400
<v Speaker 1>but they did send it out a release that said

757
00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:29.840
<v Speaker 1>they are preparing for a multi state launch, so that's

758
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.760
<v Speaker 1>likely coming at some point. I don't think there was

759
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a timeline given for that, but but yeah, but that's

760
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of the rundown there. Thoughts, sir, thoughts, you.

761
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:43.239
<v Speaker 2>Got me, not really because I don't really understand your

762
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.679
<v Speaker 2>legal world here in America. But it is a good thing.

763
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:49.320
<v Speaker 2>It is a good thing for poker that we are

764
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.960
<v Speaker 2>getting more and more states involved, and it's great for

765
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:57.559
<v Speaker 2>obviously the players that are on WSP. You know, whenever

766
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Poker Stars joins in, you bet MGM as well. It's

767
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.480
<v Speaker 2>a good thing for the industry hopefully. You know, as

768
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:06.800
<v Speaker 2>you kind of touched on some of these states that

769
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:09.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of in limbo, if they can join in too,

770
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:12.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's gonna get bigger and bigger and bigger,

771
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know, maybe we're going to get back those

772
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.360
<v Speaker 2>good old days of pre Black Friday.

773
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Well I don't know if that's gonna happen, but let's

774
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:22.320
<v Speaker 1>just hope the good days.

775
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I was okay at poker back then.

776
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you never know. I mean, listen, I think

777
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:31.119
<v Speaker 1>it's it's obviously big news. It benefits us pretty greatly

778
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:34.760
<v Speaker 1>here in Nevada with WSIP linking up right away with

779
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:37.760
<v Speaker 1>those other states, you know, so that'll be good. You

780
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:41.880
<v Speaker 1>know WSIP was previously linked with New Jersey and Michigan.

781
00:40:41.960 --> 00:40:44.599
<v Speaker 1>It was New Jersey, Michigan and Nevada. So you know,

782
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.079
<v Speaker 1>once that happened, you definitely saw a boost at least

783
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I think so playing online and now with Pennsylvania and Wales,

784
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that'll be really really really good. All right,

785
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.440
<v Speaker 1>let's take a quick pause here because as we have

786
00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:02.239
<v Speaker 1>been doing, we have of our giveaway running for the

787
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Poker Girl Podcast Dream Seats, and we gotta do some

788
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:11.440
<v Speaker 1>code words. You're the code word, guy, what do.

789
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:12.800
<v Speaker 2>You what do you card word? I'm not gonna say

790
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:14.039
<v Speaker 2>what last week's card word.

791
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Was, because you know you have they gotta go find it.

792
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're gonna go find out on this one. We're

793
00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:20.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna keep it Texas themed. It's gonna be very simple.

794
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.840
<v Speaker 2>It's Texas. I don't even knowed to spell it for

795
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:27.519
<v Speaker 2>you guys, because you can spell that show like a

796
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Texas poker play. Because I like Texas.

797
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>He's not changing it now, but I'm just telling I'm.

798
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Gonna say I like easy, simple ones like we don't

799
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.159
<v Speaker 2>make it too complicated. So Texas is the code word.

800
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:41.800
<v Speaker 2>You guys know where to go. Link is in the

801
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:45.280
<v Speaker 2>description of the pod. Thanks for producer Rich and we

802
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:48.400
<v Speaker 2>want one of you guys representing us in the PGT

803
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Million Dollar Championship and winning it. Obviously, let's go.

804
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:59.559
<v Speaker 1>All right. So, speaking of w SP's involvement with the

805
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvan stuff, they then ws pdawsp dot com announced their

806
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:10.480
<v Speaker 1>online bracelet schedule thirty online gold bracelet events this year,

807
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.599
<v Speaker 1>which is actually, if you can believe it, sir, fewer

808
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:19.800
<v Speaker 1>online bracelets than last year. Can you believe they actually

809
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:22.239
<v Speaker 1>had less in a bracelet schedule?

810
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.159
<v Speaker 2>They could add more, let's not, let's not get out

811
00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:27.519
<v Speaker 2>home add more.

812
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:29.519
<v Speaker 1>And the reason why it's less is because last year

813
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they had thirty as well, but they also had seven

814
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:34.159
<v Speaker 1>for Pennsylvania loss.

815
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:34.320
<v Speaker 4>Ye.

816
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so now everything's combined and they only have the thirty. Okay,

817
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Now it's pretty robust. There's more guaranteed prize money in

818
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:47.519
<v Speaker 1>the series. I believe this year it's five point five

819
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:51.079
<v Speaker 1>million versus last year. I think it was three or

820
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:53.360
<v Speaker 1>three and a half million. I'm guaranteed. Not every event

821
00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:55.559
<v Speaker 1>is guaranteed, but there are a lot of a lot

822
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of guarantees. The online Bracelet events they span May thirty

823
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:03.360
<v Speaker 1>first through July fifteenth. The full World Series of Poker

824
00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:08.639
<v Speaker 1>is May twenty seventh, I believe through July sixteenth, So

825
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of days cut off on each side,

826
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:14.480
<v Speaker 1>but that's fine. They are running it back with five

827
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:19.400
<v Speaker 1>live final tables. Those five live final tables, so you'll

828
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.519
<v Speaker 1>start playing online, you'll reach the live you'll reach the

829
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.559
<v Speaker 1>final table, they'll pause the tournament. Those people will come

830
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 1>out to Las Vegas and they will play at the

831
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.599
<v Speaker 1>horseshoe for the bracelet. Those are the thirty two hundred

832
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:34.320
<v Speaker 1>dollars Nolan Hold Them high Roller, the fifty three hundred

833
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.480
<v Speaker 1>dollars Nolanman Hold Them high Roller six Max, A twenty

834
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:40.719
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars Nolaman Hold Them Event, fifty three hundred

835
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>dollars Nolaman Hold Them high Roller Championship, the thirty two

836
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:48.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars high Roller six Max. Now I don't really

837
00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:51.440
<v Speaker 1>understand the fourth one that I mentioned, the fifty three

838
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:54.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars Nolan Hold Them high Roller Championship. Shouldn't the

839
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:58.039
<v Speaker 1>championship event be bigger than everything else?

840
00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think last year was a ten game, right.

841
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's just a better structure.

842
00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm just saying, like, you have another fifty three

843
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred high roller like I would think.

844
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:09.920
<v Speaker 2>You would have, Yeah, you would, Yeah, differentiate it.

845
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Best buy ins across the entire thirty online gold brased

846
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:17.599
<v Speaker 1>events started two hundred and fifty dollars, which I think

847
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:20.280
<v Speaker 1>last year was three thirty three. I think was the

848
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.880
<v Speaker 1>lowest one, so a little bit smaller on that end,

849
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:26.159
<v Speaker 1>but not you know, not that much different. And then

850
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:28.280
<v Speaker 1>of course up to the fifty three hundred dollars and

851
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:30.440
<v Speaker 1>then they are you know, this does include the shared

852
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:34.559
<v Speaker 1>liquidity across Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. So I

853
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.239
<v Speaker 1>would expect these to be quite big.

854
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:37.800
<v Speaker 4>You know.

855
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I think in recent years you and I have both

856
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.960
<v Speaker 1>done you know, our article where we mentioned all the

857
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.119
<v Speaker 1>different winners, and sometimes it's like, you know, this guy

858
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:49.119
<v Speaker 1>won twenty k, and you know, so you're not going

859
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to get any more of that. You know, these are

860
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:52.519
<v Speaker 1>going to be some pretty pretty juicy prize pools, some

861
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:56.519
<v Speaker 1>pretty big first place prizes, so you know it'll be

862
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:58.079
<v Speaker 1>pretty good over.

863
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I think I very confident this is new. But it

864
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:03.800
<v Speaker 2>looks like they have a couple of multi day.

865
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:10.079
<v Speaker 1>No they did that before, Yeah, but but they are.

866
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:11.480
<v Speaker 1>They are bringing that that stuff back.

867
00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I know they've done on GG, I just didn't know

868
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:15.920
<v Speaker 2>they've done it on Yeah. I think one of them

869
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:19.000
<v Speaker 2>is a Colossus, Yeah, ones a Mystery Yeah, they.

870
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Have a bunch of Mystery Boundary. I think all the

871
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Mystery Bounty events, if I remember correct when I was

872
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:24.960
<v Speaker 1>looking at the schedule earlier, I think all the Mystery

873
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:26.880
<v Speaker 1>bound events are the ones with the guarantees on them.

874
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:30.559
<v Speaker 2>They have that million million million.

875
00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Mystery boundies are you know, that's what everyone loves to play,

876
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:36.320
<v Speaker 1>so of course they're gonna have plenty of those.

877
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:36.840
<v Speaker 4>You know.

878
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure how many I'll play this summer, you know,

879
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:41.400
<v Speaker 1>just because obviously we have a lot of work and whatever.

880
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:44.159
<v Speaker 1>But something I would like to play is they have

881
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:51.079
<v Speaker 1>two twenty five scrambles, So those are on there. So

882
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:53.480
<v Speaker 1>those are nice and juicy to try and win yourself

883
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:55.760
<v Speaker 1>a w S a P main events.

884
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:00.400
<v Speaker 2>So those also have guarantees. Yeah yeah, well yeah, yeah,

885
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:03.800
<v Speaker 2>of course you said the other things with guarantees of them.

886
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, I got you. So there's that. That's

887
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the the I guess part A of the w c

888
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.079
<v Speaker 1>P news that that recently dropped, and then part B

889
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>is that the Wasit plus app is coming to Vegas.

890
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:23.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think we kind of thought it might,

891
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:25.559
<v Speaker 1>but then we heard it might not, you know, just

892
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:29.800
<v Speaker 1>some regulation stuff here in Vegas with with the casinos

893
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:32.400
<v Speaker 1>here and whatever. But they got it done, so the

894
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:33.920
<v Speaker 1>app is coming to Las Vegas.

895
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:34.119
<v Speaker 3>Now.

896
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I do want to mention that a lot of the

897
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.480
<v Speaker 1>information that I gathered around the Wasity plus app stuff

898
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I got from the good team over at Pokerfuse pokerfuse

899
00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:46.679
<v Speaker 1>dot com. They do a bunch of great work. Nick Jones,

900
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:48.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, does incredible work.

901
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I know.

902
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Nick Jones also had a great thread on Twitter poker

903
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:55.159
<v Speaker 1>pro Jones is his handle, just talking about all the

904
00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:58.519
<v Speaker 1>different Pennsylvania stuff that's happening a news Aurora. As I

905
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:00.599
<v Speaker 1>already mentioned, there's a lot of good stuff over there

906
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.239
<v Speaker 1>as well. So to shout out to those guys for

907
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:06.400
<v Speaker 1>all the information that they constantly populated and there by

908
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.679
<v Speaker 1>the way they're like often you know, I think I said,

909
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:11.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, you and I kind of thought that it

910
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:13.280
<v Speaker 1>was to be plus app could come, but we also

911
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:15.440
<v Speaker 1>thought maybe it wouldn't come this year, maybe for twenty

912
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:18.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. They called it. They were like, no, this

913
00:47:18.280 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 1>is coming for twenty twenty five. So they were on

914
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the ball, as they are many times. They tend to

915
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:27.920
<v Speaker 1>predict that things are coming and they likely happen. They're

916
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:30.599
<v Speaker 1>also very well sourced, so of course those predictions do

917
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:34.679
<v Speaker 1>carry a lot of weight. Anyway, about the details of

918
00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:37.039
<v Speaker 1>this now, it is said to be needed by all

919
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:40.920
<v Speaker 1>players to enter tournaments. I think that that's now. Also,

920
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I I think you saw it, but

921
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.159
<v Speaker 1>we both saw Kevin Matt tweet something right that is

922
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:50.400
<v Speaker 1>not sleted, but he had all these responses but those

923
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:54.840
<v Speaker 1>aren't deleted, so like, I don't know what happened. But

924
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.000
<v Speaker 1>like one of the things that we saw in that

925
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:00.960
<v Speaker 1>now deleted tweet was was it like registration is only

926
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be open like nine am to ten pm

927
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>or something.

928
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a very iffy. Yes, but but if you.

929
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Think about it, if they are requiring the WSP plus app,

930
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and you can do all the registration through the WSP

931
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:20.719
<v Speaker 1>plus app, well, then you can obviously cut the actual

932
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:24.719
<v Speaker 1>live in person registration, right, Like that would make sense

933
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:27.639
<v Speaker 1>because you're just trying to funnel everything to a much

934
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:31.199
<v Speaker 1>more streamlined and efficient thing, you know, much more overhead

935
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:33.159
<v Speaker 1>on the cost. You don't need all those people in

936
00:48:33.239 --> 00:48:35.639
<v Speaker 1>there working twenty four to seven, you know, you can

937
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:38.800
<v Speaker 1>just have people can you know, verify their account, load

938
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:42.119
<v Speaker 1>their account however they do that, and then you know,

939
00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:46.880
<v Speaker 1>registered tournaments right through the app. I believe. I also

940
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:51.599
<v Speaker 1>saw no more Bravo Poker Live, which was I mean, listen,

941
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Bravo Poker Live was it was a benefit to the

942
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.360
<v Speaker 1>WSP yes, but it was also a bit archaic.

943
00:48:58.079 --> 00:48:59.199
<v Speaker 2>It was like very old.

944
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:05.039
<v Speaker 1>This Waspy plus app looks awesome. So I know it's

945
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:07.559
<v Speaker 1>been in use down at the WSP Paradise and Bahamas

946
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:09.599
<v Speaker 1>for the past two years, but you know, we haven't

947
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:11.440
<v Speaker 1>been there, we haven't used it, so it'll be our

948
00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:15.000
<v Speaker 1>first time using it. So I think it'll be a

949
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:15.599
<v Speaker 1>big help.

950
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:15.960
<v Speaker 4>You know.

951
00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:19.480
<v Speaker 1>It also is going to allow you to track you know,

952
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:21.639
<v Speaker 1>like you'll have your tournament clock right there, you'll have

953
00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:23.920
<v Speaker 1>players remaining price. Well, I just think of it like,

954
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:25.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, when when I went to play the NAPT

955
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>event the Poker Stars an APT event at Resorts World,

956
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:30.719
<v Speaker 1>and you had to use the Poker Stars Live app. Ye,

957
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.440
<v Speaker 1>everything was in the app. So that's just what I

958
00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:36.559
<v Speaker 1>think this is. And that sort of stuff is great.

959
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:40.440
<v Speaker 1>It's certainly going to streamline the process. I'm gonna definitely

960
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:42.480
<v Speaker 1>try and you know, I'm gonna play five or six

961
00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:44.880
<v Speaker 1>events I think this summer, but like try and set

962
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:47.119
<v Speaker 1>up my account in the early days just so I

963
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:49.360
<v Speaker 1>can press a couple of buttons, not have to wait

964
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in any lines, all that sort of stuff.

965
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:57.239
<v Speaker 2>So so we I guess I'm just concerned about is

966
00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it allowed. I mean, I'm sure it's fine.

967
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:02.199
<v Speaker 1>How can they announce it if it's not allowed?

968
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Hey done stuff we had before. I don't know. I'm

969
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.679
<v Speaker 2>just like I think also, I mean, I love the app.

970
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I love everything that they're trying to do with it,

971
00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and obviously sweating Paradise through the app was always good.

972
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Just you're coming to Nevada, which has the strictest, you know,

973
00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:24.559
<v Speaker 2>gaming regulations, and I'm just wondering, is everything signed off?

974
00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:26.440
<v Speaker 2>That's what I would say.

975
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I don't think they're coming out with the news

976
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.199
<v Speaker 1>if it's not signed off. Secondary to that, I think

977
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Nevada in general needs to like get with the times.

978
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that'll agree with that.

979
00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:36.239
<v Speaker 1>It's not just in this situation. Like I would say

980
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:38.159
<v Speaker 1>the same thing about like the way Nevada operates with

981
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:41.239
<v Speaker 1>sports betting, like all this silly nonsense, like like let's

982
00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:44.199
<v Speaker 1>go Nevada, Like you're losing. I see all these numbers

983
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:46.480
<v Speaker 1>from all the reporters out there, like you know Colorado

984
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:50.480
<v Speaker 1>sports betting numbers, New Jersey, Like you know, they're doing

985
00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:53.039
<v Speaker 1>pretty well and they are, like they have a much

986
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:55.480
<v Speaker 1>better user experience for a lot of their stuff versus

987
00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:59.920
<v Speaker 1>here in Nevada. So fix it, guys, Like let's go

988
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.480
<v Speaker 1>now I'm also kind of a bit of a weird purist.

989
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I do really like actually going up to the cage,

990
00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:11.280
<v Speaker 1>actually putting my money down, actually getting a ticket, Like,

991
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I like that feeling. I know I've talked with Jeff

992
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Platt about this. I know I've talked with you about this.

993
00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Like, I actually like it.

994
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Now save me the two hour line. I get it.

995
00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:21.679
<v Speaker 1>That's why I would usually register like eleven thirty at night,

996
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the night before stuff like that, because we're always there.

997
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:27.039
<v Speaker 1>But uh, but but yeah, this will be a really

998
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.920
<v Speaker 1>good change of pace. I thought when you were gonna say,

999
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried that you're gonna be like, are you sure,

1000
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:33.480
<v Speaker 1>like all the super seniors are gonna be able to

1001
00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:36.519
<v Speaker 1>use this app lit? Yeah, I mean that's the one thing.

1002
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.440
<v Speaker 2>It's also you know, it's the deal. It's too right.

1003
00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:43.599
<v Speaker 2>The dealers have to input on bus players. It's gonna

1004
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:47.599
<v Speaker 2>add a bit happened too. I would assume that's how

1005
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I do it, and they do the chip counts and

1006
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:52.119
<v Speaker 2>stuff like. That's gonna slow it's gonna slow the hands

1007
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.400
<v Speaker 2>down because they're gonna fumble over the clock and check

1008
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:56.679
<v Speaker 2>people in bus people.

1009
00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that was all part of it I

1010
00:51:58.480 --> 00:51:58.880
<v Speaker 1>thought it was.

1011
00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting seen that like, if they're going to go,

1012
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:03.960
<v Speaker 2>they're going to go all in. That's what I mean,

1013
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:04.599
<v Speaker 2>more than.

1014
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:06.880
<v Speaker 1>You're soft for the first year, like you kind of

1015
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:10.079
<v Speaker 1>require all the it's you, it's your soft launch, you know,

1016
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to get all the players to download it to use it,

1017
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.039
<v Speaker 1>and then you bring in the next wave of it

1018
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:17.840
<v Speaker 1>for like twenty twenty six.

1019
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, well they're not going to do everything then

1020
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it'll be fine. But yeah, just imagine having

1021
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:27.280
<v Speaker 2>to train the dealers and getting you know, all hundreds

1022
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.199
<v Speaker 2>of dealers and thousands of dealers to be able to

1023
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:31.400
<v Speaker 2>use something they've never used it for.

1024
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Sound like Matt Savage over here just anti training people.

1025
00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:38.239
<v Speaker 2>That I'm not anti training at all, but like this

1026
00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:41.440
<v Speaker 2>news just came out less than a month before the

1027
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:45.159
<v Speaker 2>World Series starts. That's more. My point is that you

1028
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:48.159
<v Speaker 2>know you've hired, you've already hired dealers, and you probably

1029
00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:51.159
<v Speaker 2>start in the training process. You know that these guys

1030
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:54.320
<v Speaker 2>might be scrambling internally to to get everyone up to

1031
00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:55.719
<v Speaker 2>up to scratch.

1032
00:52:55.880 --> 00:52:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but that's also why I say that it's probably

1033
00:52:57.880 --> 00:52:59.599
<v Speaker 1>not going to be a dealer. I think it's not

1034
00:52:59.639 --> 00:53:01.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be on the tables, like it's not going

1035
00:53:01.039 --> 00:53:04.039
<v Speaker 1>to be that robust. I mean, listen, if it is

1036
00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:07.960
<v Speaker 1>cool whatever, but I just don't think it is going

1037
00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:09.239
<v Speaker 1>to be for the first year. I think it's going

1038
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to be one of those players saying focus on registration,

1039
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:15.559
<v Speaker 1>streamline that entire process, and then add that next wave

1040
00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:18.679
<v Speaker 1>you know for dowasit P plus app two point zero

1041
00:53:18.719 --> 00:53:20.800
<v Speaker 1>if you want to call it that, you know, coming

1042
00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:24.199
<v Speaker 1>for twenty twenty six. So that's where my head is.

1043
00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I do kind of wish or maybe I wonder And

1044
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I was looking around on the WASP dot com website

1045
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:34.679
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't find a lot of information about it.

1046
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:38.719
<v Speaker 1>But you know, like I downloaded the app right like

1047
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you said, to sweat some of the stuff down at

1048
00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the Bahamas. You know, why can I can I go

1049
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:45.159
<v Speaker 1>to Horseshoe right now and load it? Like can I

1050
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:48.000
<v Speaker 1>can I take care of it now? Like what do

1051
00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I have or do I have to wait till like

1052
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, May twenty seventh, and like when everyone's there,

1053
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Like can I just get this out of.

1054
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:58.079
<v Speaker 2>The way that I don't know, I'm like actually doing

1055
00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:00.480
<v Speaker 2>my profile now because obviously, like I said, I already

1056
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:03.239
<v Speaker 2>had it. It was linked to my club gg account

1057
00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:07.440
<v Speaker 2>as well, so Alady found it.

1058
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:09.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's all. It's all I'm pretty sure

1059
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:12.760
<v Speaker 1>what what do they call it? I forget what they

1060
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:16.719
<v Speaker 1>call the log in, but like your club gg account

1061
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:19.519
<v Speaker 1>is linked, this is linked, poker Steak account is linked.

1062
00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Like it's all linked, which is great, Like that's what

1063
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you want. You want that ease, you know, so so

1064
00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that's all happening. So that's that's really good. I forget

1065
00:54:30.920 --> 00:54:32.159
<v Speaker 1>what it's called, Like you have.

1066
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Like a GG pass or like what, Yeah, I think

1067
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:35.880
<v Speaker 2>that's what I figure what it.

1068
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Is when you have to like I see it. It

1069
00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:39.360
<v Speaker 1>prompts when I go to sign into poker Steak. But

1070
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:42.280
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I you know, I like that everything is

1071
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:45.840
<v Speaker 1>is linked together. And then you know, I would say

1072
00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:51.880
<v Speaker 1>probably down the line, you get at least in my

1073
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:56.000
<v Speaker 1>idea of a perfect world, like if I have money

1074
00:54:56.039 --> 00:54:59.239
<v Speaker 1>on ws P dot com, this should all be linked

1075
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:02.119
<v Speaker 1>in with WIP and then I should also be able

1076
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to buy into live tournaments with the money in my

1077
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:06.960
<v Speaker 1>online account, like what like you know, what's the what's

1078
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:10.079
<v Speaker 1>the difference if it comes out of like what did

1079
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I think they called the Paris Tournament account. I think

1080
00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:14.199
<v Speaker 1>they called it, you know, like what's the difference if

1081
00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:15.880
<v Speaker 1>it comes out of that bucket or if it comes

1082
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:18.000
<v Speaker 1>out of my online bucket, like I would, you know,

1083
00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:19.760
<v Speaker 1>wherever I have the money, Like I should just be

1084
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:21.880
<v Speaker 1>able to be like, yeah, I'm gonna use this option,

1085
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I think they said that you can

1086
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you can do PayPal to load it that Paris Tournament account.

1087
00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I think credit card as well, probably some sort of

1088
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:33.800
<v Speaker 1>wire transfer. Again, I kind of looked around WSB dot com.

1089
00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't find it, you know, ahead of this episode,

1090
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:38.960
<v Speaker 1>but you know, in the coming weeks, coming episodes, I

1091
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:41.000
<v Speaker 1>think we'll get a little bit more clarity on on

1092
00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:43.079
<v Speaker 1>how this is all gonna work out. And I'm assuming

1093
00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:47.000
<v Speaker 1>with the deleted tweet from keV Math, you know, it's

1094
00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:48.760
<v Speaker 1>also probably still a little bit of a work in

1095
00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:51.440
<v Speaker 1>progress in terms of the messaging that that you know,

1096
00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:54.039
<v Speaker 1>they're getting out there with you know, Kevi Math obviously

1097
00:55:54.119 --> 00:55:58.480
<v Speaker 1>being the divisiity social medias are so yeah, so I guess,

1098
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:00.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, stay tuned to that. But I mean I

1099
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:04.000
<v Speaker 1>would say you can also probably download the app wherever

1100
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you are right now and kind of get ahead start,

1101
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:07.599
<v Speaker 1>get a little feel.

1102
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.599
<v Speaker 2>For it, you know whatever, get a verify your profile

1103
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and identity, do all that stuff. Get that out of

1104
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:12.920
<v Speaker 2>the way now.

1105
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then you know, obviously once you get here,

1106
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:17.760
<v Speaker 1>when you come, you're gonna have to get all that

1107
00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:20.760
<v Speaker 1>squared away. But at least you'll be you know, one

1108
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:24.800
<v Speaker 1>step ahead of everyone else as opposed to coming here

1109
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you walk into the registration line, they

1110
00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:28.519
<v Speaker 1>tell you got to do this and then whatever.

1111
00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:31.000
<v Speaker 2>So Super Senior's Day is going to be a fun

1112
00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:33.559
<v Speaker 2>day at the registration case. Well, that's what.

1113
00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:35.360
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of one thing that I'm a little bit

1114
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:40.639
<v Speaker 1>confused about is I believe I've seen that they're still

1115
00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:43.639
<v Speaker 1>going to have the regular registration open, but then I've

1116
00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:47.320
<v Speaker 1>also seen that you need to have the app. So

1117
00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:52.199
<v Speaker 1>like again, that's what when I say like the super

1118
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Senior or the Seniors, I mean, sorry, I'm you know,

1119
00:56:55.280 --> 00:56:57.159
<v Speaker 1>we're kind of you know, bashing you guys a little

1120
00:56:57.159 --> 00:56:59.840
<v Speaker 1>bit here, but you know, it is what it is.

1121
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1122
00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:04.880
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, then also, what if you don't have a smartphone,

1123
00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:08.239
<v Speaker 1>there has to be some work around. But yeah, I

1124
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:09.559
<v Speaker 1>mean not everyone has a smartphone.

1125
00:57:09.679 --> 00:57:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Not everyone has a smartphone. Yeah, look, it's gonna take

1126
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:15.320
<v Speaker 2>some time. It's just like any kind of you know,

1127
00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:19.719
<v Speaker 2>technology changes to people. It's gonna it's gonna take a

1128
00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:21.719
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a bit of time before everyone's adjusted.

1129
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I'll say that, you know, all in all,

1130
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:29.960
<v Speaker 1>very positive move, good move. So you know, I think

1131
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna make things a lot more efficient, a lot

1132
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:36.679
<v Speaker 1>easier during the summer. You know, if you're somebody who

1133
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:40.679
<v Speaker 1>who obviously wants to like deposit money on there and

1134
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:42.519
<v Speaker 1>all that sort of thing, you get that squared away.

1135
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:45.960
<v Speaker 1>It should alleviate having the stand in long lines like

1136
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:48.360
<v Speaker 1>all that sort of stuff, which is great. I also

1137
00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:50.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna help like if you have like simple things like

1138
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you have the tournament clock right there and it's synced

1139
00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:55.039
<v Speaker 1>on your phone, so you don't have to like get

1140
00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:56.920
<v Speaker 1>up and be like hey serious, set a timer for

1141
00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:59.199
<v Speaker 1>twelve minutes, and then you know, you and I are

1142
00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:00.800
<v Speaker 1>walking in the hallway, You're like, oh, how much time

1143
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:02.320
<v Speaker 1>do we have left? I have thirteen minutes? Why I

1144
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:02.800
<v Speaker 1>have eleven?

1145
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Well what is it?

1146
00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:05.159
<v Speaker 4>You know, like all that.

1147
00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:07.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's just it's just right there on your phone,

1148
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:10.119
<v Speaker 1>which is really great. So again, I think this is

1149
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:13.280
<v Speaker 1>a positive thing and uh. You know that combined with

1150
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:15.360
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we now have the online bracelet schedule,

1151
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:19.320
<v Speaker 1>we got joint player pools, you know, with Pennsylvania now

1152
00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:22.039
<v Speaker 1>in there. I mean, it's it's time, baby, let's go.

1153
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:25.239
<v Speaker 1>We're a month away from everything. Poker Go will be

1154
00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:28.840
<v Speaker 1>coming out with its streaming plans pretty soon, and we've

1155
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:30.760
<v Speaker 1>been working hard at it, just kind of trying to

1156
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:34.840
<v Speaker 1>nail everything down. Excited for that, you know, obviously excited

1157
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:38.920
<v Speaker 1>for the summer, and yeah, I'm looking forward to what

1158
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:39.559
<v Speaker 1>else you got for.

1159
00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:43.679
<v Speaker 2>It to be a great summer, is it? Yeah? Of course?

1160
00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:45.840
<v Speaker 1>So okay, well you want me. How about this? We've

1161
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:49.079
<v Speaker 1>been really positive. Let's get negative for a second. Oh god, no,

1162
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:51.320
<v Speaker 1>why not? Like I can't, I can't just let a

1163
00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:53.639
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of you know, sunshine and rainbow has been

1164
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:56.039
<v Speaker 1>blowing out everyone's ass. We got to get a little negative.

1165
00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm now. I will also say that I don't know,

1166
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:02.440
<v Speaker 1>necessarily think that what I'm about to say is negative.

1167
00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:06.400
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like a negative prediction in a way. It's

1168
00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:10.159
<v Speaker 1>it's I'm not fully ready to like, you know, ink

1169
00:59:10.239 --> 00:59:12.679
<v Speaker 1>the prediction, like sign the dotted line and send it in.

1170
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:16.480
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's been working. It's like in the It's

1171
00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:19.360
<v Speaker 1>in the It's in the take Oven. And I think

1172
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:22.639
<v Speaker 1>WSP actually comes out in the positive through all of this.

1173
00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:26.639
<v Speaker 1>And what I'm gonna say is that there is a

1174
00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:31.400
<v Speaker 1>crap ton of poker in Vegas this summer. Okay. I

1175
00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:34.280
<v Speaker 1>also think that generally speaking, just with the way that

1176
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:38.559
<v Speaker 1>again people having kind of less money to spend. Also

1177
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:43.320
<v Speaker 1>as it pertains to the summer, are the Europeans going

1178
00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to come over? Just with everything that's going on, like

1179
00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:49.320
<v Speaker 1>with the politics and you know, all this sort of stuff.

1180
00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know, I feel like if people were

1181
00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:53.960
<v Speaker 1>going to sit out, they might sit out. If you're

1182
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:55.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of on the fence, maybe you lean a little

1183
00:59:55.639 --> 00:59:57.920
<v Speaker 1>bit more towards not coming versus coming, Like I don't,

1184
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:01.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know exactly. So there's that. Now, do you

1185
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>also lose people in Vegas in general because of something

1186
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>like Pennsylvania joining where now Pennsylvania gets action within the

1187
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:14.079
<v Speaker 1>bigger player pool, they get action to thirty online bracelets,

1188
01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you don't have to make a week or two

1189
01:00:16.199 --> 01:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>trip out here. And what I'm gonna say is that

1190
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>everywhere outside of the w s AP, from what I

1191
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:24.639
<v Speaker 1>can tell, has guarantees on every single event on their schedule.

1192
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Sp of course doesn't need to do that. They only

1193
01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:33.119
<v Speaker 1>they guarantee what the Gladiators event, they guarantee a million

1194
01:00:33.159 --> 01:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>dollar bounty and a million dollar first place prize. In

1195
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:38.599
<v Speaker 1>the Mystery Millions event, they guarantee, you know, a million

1196
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>dollar first place prize and a millionaire maker. But like

1197
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>those prize pools get a bazillion dollar, so it's not

1198
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>even that big of a deal, right, So they don't

1199
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>ever have to really worry about missing guarantees. But everyone

1200
01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:54.079
<v Speaker 1>else does. Yeah, and some of these guarantees are freaking huge,

1201
01:00:54.280 --> 01:00:58.039
<v Speaker 1>So I'm a little bit worried that a lot of

1202
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:01.239
<v Speaker 1>the other places are gonna missed a lot of guarantees,

1203
01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:06.599
<v Speaker 1>you know. Now, why say that like this can be

1204
01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote positive for dovaspvasitp like their numbers could be down,

1205
01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>let's say, like if everything's down, but they don't have guarantees,

1206
01:01:14.360 --> 01:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>so it doesn't really matter, right. And also they have

1207
01:01:17.079 --> 01:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>more events this year than they had last year, so

1208
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, they probably go up in terms of

1209
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>entries for the whole summer. So that's fine as well,

1210
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>But you're looking like a win of Venetian in Aria,

1211
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>like even the smaller ones, the Golden Nuggets, the Orleans, like,

1212
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>they all have guarantees. And so you see it across

1213
01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the board. You just saw it in Texas, like there's

1214
01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it's getting hard to kind of pull the same numbers, right.

1215
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>It seems like it seemed like for let's say the

1216
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>last year or two, things kind of plateaued, which is

1217
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:52.199
<v Speaker 1>largely because there's just so much on off. There is

1218
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:55.079
<v Speaker 1>so much going around now, I would say the plateau

1219
01:01:55.199 --> 01:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>has kind of started to be a little bit of

1220
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a decline slope. Not a lot, but just a little bit.

1221
01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>But if you got, like I was looking at the

1222
01:02:02.199 --> 01:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>wind schedule, they have forty million dollars in guarantees of summer.

1223
01:02:06.039 --> 01:02:08.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like what, like, are these places all going

1224
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to hit them? Are they worried?

1225
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:10.440
<v Speaker 4>Like you know?

1226
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know. I feel like it could

1227
01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>be bad now. I don't think it's gonna be like

1228
01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:21.159
<v Speaker 1>a bloodbath like per event. Like if you have let's

1229
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>say a five hundred K guarantee, I don't think you're

1230
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:25.159
<v Speaker 1>getting three hundred k. But let's say you get a

1231
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>five hundred K guarantee and you get four seventy, so

1232
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>now you're thirty k short, and then the next event

1233
01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>is five k shore, and the next event is you know,

1234
01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>and these are these like they're like fifty events on

1235
01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>these schedules, like it's a lot Nick can add up quickly.

1236
01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. I'm like kind of worried about

1237
01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:46.119
<v Speaker 1>just everything that's going on in the state of the world,

1238
01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. So that's my negative Nancy thought. Obviously, I

1239
01:02:51.639 --> 01:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want it to happen. I hope it doesn't happen,

1240
01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you know. I want poker everywhere to just be through

1241
01:02:56.360 --> 01:02:59.119
<v Speaker 1>the roof. But that's kind of my thought.

1242
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:02.239
<v Speaker 2>No, I think I agree with you. I think the

1243
01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:06.119
<v Speaker 2>numbers will be down. I think people from overseas will

1244
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>be skeptical to come in. Last month, we obviously we

1245
01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>had some webbly state of the market, which affects things

1246
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:15.679
<v Speaker 2>as well. We're not sure where that's going to be

1247
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:19.320
<v Speaker 2>in another month. So look, if I was an international operator,

1248
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>like a Pocus Stars in Europe, I would be putting

1249
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:25.719
<v Speaker 2>on a big festival in Europe because I think it

1250
01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:30.440
<v Speaker 2>would be heavily attended from the European crowd. But here

1251
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>in America, I think the World Series will be fine.

1252
01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>I will bet that their numbers are down, you know,

1253
01:03:38.360 --> 01:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>on average in each event, but the addition of flights

1254
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>in the bigger field events, I think their total entrant

1255
01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>numbers will eclipse last year. You know something. They'll be

1256
01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>worried they're the other rooms. I think they're just they

1257
01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>understand what the World Series is. Everyone's coming into town

1258
01:03:56.440 --> 01:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>to play events. All the casinos here in Vegas will

1259
01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:03.679
<v Speaker 2>work together and kind of figure their schedules out so

1260
01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:08.679
<v Speaker 2>there's not too much clashing, I think. And they've done

1261
01:04:08.679 --> 01:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>a pretty decent job. It's not you can't be perfect,

1262
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>but they've done decent enough job to do that this year,

1263
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>and you're really giving players a full range of events

1264
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:19.599
<v Speaker 2>they can play. And I think those five and JK

1265
01:04:19.719 --> 01:04:22.719
<v Speaker 2>guarantees that I'll be fine, to be honest. So I

1266
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:25.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think any of the smaller rooms quote unquote, like

1267
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:29.079
<v Speaker 2>smaller in the World Series are really that worried about

1268
01:04:29.440 --> 01:04:30.079
<v Speaker 2>about anything.

1269
01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I hope, I'm just just worrying for

1270
01:04:33.320 --> 01:04:38.119
<v Speaker 1>the sake of worrying, you know. I would maybe maybe

1271
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>over the next couple of weeks, I'll kind of look

1272
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>around a little bit more of the regional stuff that's happening,

1273
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:45.280
<v Speaker 1>and see if there's like a year over year type

1274
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>of thing that I can kind of pinpoint. But yeah,

1275
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean we'll see, you know. Now, let me spin

1276
01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>it back positive and say that the Aria Poker Classic

1277
01:04:59.480 --> 01:05:05.679
<v Speaker 1>specific this thirty five hundred dollars buying BETMGM event is

1278
01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:07.039
<v Speaker 1>just a BETEMGM.

1279
01:05:06.639 --> 01:05:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Event championship championship.

1280
01:05:08.599 --> 01:05:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, three million dollar guarantee. This event I think can

1281
01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:21.639
<v Speaker 1>blowdoors because Pennsylvania, now that I know that Nevada's not

1282
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>involved in the BEDMGM stuff, but they've all like they

1283
01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>have this. They made that c note tournament, the free note,

1284
01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:30.039
<v Speaker 1>it had a boosted guarantee, and I think they're even

1285
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>giving a BETMGM championship package worth five K to the

1286
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>winner of that, and like they're starting to put the

1287
01:05:37.159 --> 01:05:39.679
<v Speaker 1>packages and stuff out there. Well, now, if you have

1288
01:05:40.639 --> 01:05:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Michigan and New Jersey linked with Pennsylvania, you can run

1289
01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>bigger satellites for your marquee event. So I think this

1290
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>event specifically could really benefit from the fact that Pennsylvania

1291
01:05:51.119 --> 01:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>is now involved in the multi state agreement, so they

1292
01:05:54.360 --> 01:05:58.519
<v Speaker 1>can boost their prize schools, their satellite offerings, you know,

1293
01:05:58.679 --> 01:06:01.119
<v Speaker 1>run more of them all that sort of stuff. So

1294
01:06:01.239 --> 01:06:03.039
<v Speaker 1>I think this event, like let's say last year it

1295
01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:05.119
<v Speaker 1>got I don't know, I'm just throwing a number out there.

1296
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what the number is. Let's say

1297
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it got fifty satellite qualifiers, that could easily be one hundred.

1298
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:11.039
<v Speaker 1>It could easily be one hundred this year. Now, Like,

1299
01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>so this event specifically can do really really really well.

1300
01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you're spot on right there.

1301
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I think if I think this event

1302
01:06:21.480 --> 01:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>can be one of those ones where I know, obviously

1303
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:26.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are like, first and foremost, I'm

1304
01:06:26.519 --> 01:06:30.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna play WAIP stuff that's the most value obviously, the

1305
01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>bracelets all that, I get it. I would say this

1306
01:06:33.719 --> 01:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>time frame, you know, it takes place right before the

1307
01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:40.280
<v Speaker 1>WSP main event, I would say, you know, probably pencil

1308
01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>this one into your schedule.

1309
01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:42.800
<v Speaker 4>You know.

1310
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's a it's a good one. And

1311
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>if you get a lot of online satellite qualifiers, you know,

1312
01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:50.119
<v Speaker 1>that could also provide again a lot of value. So

1313
01:06:50.719 --> 01:06:54.719
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's probably gonna be beneficial, you know,

1314
01:06:54.840 --> 01:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>through through all of this. So, I mean, we'll see

1315
01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:01.679
<v Speaker 1>overall how it all plays out. But uh, but yeah,

1316
01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:05.679
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be nuts. Man, It's definitely gonna be nuts.

1317
01:07:06.440 --> 01:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Can't wait, can't wait? All right?

1318
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>We got nothing else, I don't think, right, mm hmmm

1319
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:15.639
<v Speaker 1>mm hmm, All right, well, I mean, I guess next

1320
01:07:15.679 --> 01:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>week we'll bring some up, probably have a little bit

1321
01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:22.239
<v Speaker 1>more clarity on the WS plus app stuff. We can

1322
01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:25.079
<v Speaker 1>talk about that. We can start just kind of previewing

1323
01:07:26.519 --> 01:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the summer stuff. It's obviously big, and it's enormous all

1324
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:34.159
<v Speaker 1>summer long. So I'm looking forward to getting into everything.

1325
01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:35.719
<v Speaker 1>And I know we say it all the time, but

1326
01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be here before we know it. And now

1327
01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:40.559
<v Speaker 1>we're less than a month away, it's certainly gonna be

1328
01:07:40.639 --> 01:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>here before we know it. So I can't wait, all right.

1329
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:46.440
